DOMO: Dreams of Mirror Online

the 1st RPG game i ever played... never thot i'll like this kinda game. well, the mobs are cute [at least most of them]. initally i was just a citizen. never get a job even when i could at level 10. well, i din see a need since i just like go around getting recipes, collecting stuffs, making stuffs using alchemy and of cos along the way kill mobs for drops and to level up. while most change job at level 10, i only did at level 16... to be a doc. in a few quests with teams, i wanna to help others, doc seems to suit me... *grin*

eventually level up to 21 as doc cos of the training with some guild ppl. they attack [and protect me] while i heal and revive them [if they die] *giggles* but kinda "stressful" cos i must keep note of their health and make sure they don't die [well at least the best i can]... training to be less blur i guess... :P but i'm horrible with directions [esp in maze] and get lost often.... thanks goodness for map and teammates indications :P

close beta is now closed, awaiting for open beta. before the wipeout, we had a tournament in our guild as naked citizens... of cos not REALLY naked lah! just no outfits [which can give attack and defense attributes], no weapons and no combo. pure fist fight! based on our citizen level and character attributes. and i won! hahahahaa.... well cos i'm like the highest level citizen mah! most ppl just change at level 10 or 11. no one bother to level further... here's some pics i took *giggles*

citizen [level 10] : i collect stuffs and make the outfit myself! this one look quite chinese...

citizen [level 16] : again i made the outfits [tat's why i level only citizen cos i like getting recipes and making the stuffs]

citizen [level 16]: but the back view of the outfit is >.<

citizen [level 16] : with my level 10 weapon [cos the next level weapon is a stupid green bottle!!!]

citizen [level 15] : when i finally can fly! no need to keep walking around to do collections!!

doctor [level 21] : bought my 1st set of outfit... look tibet/mongolian tho. and the huge syringe [weapon] look scary rite?

doctor [level 21] : but the back view is still... >.<

doctor [level 21] : with wings! a gift from keii and purely for decoration purposes only! :P

pic of me [doc level 21 before i went "shopping"] and keii [mercenary level 24]

*p.s. i have to restart from level 10 when i change job to doc. never took pic cos it dun look nice... >.<

the truth is OUT!

went dinner with parents and brothers to celebrate my mum's bday... i decided to come clean with them and told them abt my back. how not to? when i had to take painkiller, NOT drink the wine they brought along and walk funny... -_-"

the restaurant have "stools" [chinese style] w/o back support... i sit thr eat also buay tahan...

mum got worried of cos. ask, why things happened i nvr call home... cos i din want them to worry mah... she called me just to make sure i walked home okie... yes, i think she's really worried >.<>

on a happier note, the dinner was great... we had 鲍鱼盆菜, steamed 多福鱼, roast chicken, stirred fried veggies with assorted mushrooms, deep fried beancurb and fried mee sua... sorry no pics tho :P

fishy!!!

went for fishhead steamboat [yu tou lu] with the usual gluttony gang... while waiting for one more to appear, we started off with these....

*warning: do not cont'd if u r hungry *evil chuckles*

braised rectum... it's actually intestine but somehow the english translation is just bad hahahaha....

too bad they ran out of it after 2 orders... :(

my fav: braised pig trotters!!!

deep fried 5-flower pork... aka fatty pork...

deep fried tofu [tofu mixed with fish]

yummy yam ring...

coffee ribs

it's not all meat, we have veggies too!

and of cos, fishhead steamboat!!!

we went on to haagen daz at the durian for desserts... no pics tho... i was too excited when i see my creation of the chocolate trio: belgian chocolate + chocolate chip + midnight cookies & cream with chocolate rice and hard cookies for toppings... *drool* it look all brown anyway! hahahaha....

it's not life threatening...

went for orthopaedic appointment today [finally]... the doc can't confirm if it's a fracture or just a crack [which i dunnoe wat's the difference, cos ain't a fracture a crack??] anw he said it's not life threatening... and watever it is, it is healing... so i guess tat's good news ya?

after telling the story of how i slipped, went sinseh etc... he commented, "so after tat u nvr fall again or anything rite?" i sheepishly show my wounded leg and told him i fell on the escalator last week... the nurse seems to be of more interest and stared at my wounds... she got tis "oh-my-gosh-u-fall-again" look on her face... and i think she was smiling... she was luffing at me rite??!! :(

given 2 days mc, but since i have to take time off on wed morn for my pyshio, i'll be back to office tml... pain is not TAT bad... was given TONS of painkillers [suniton not synflex tho] and an appointment back to the orthopaedic 6 weeks later... doc said i'll just have to go for more pyshio sessions... >.<

disfigured...

not my face lah... thank god.. it's my leg...

tis morn woke up unable to move at all... *sigh* lay on bed frm 630 to 8am, still can't move... attempted to and heard a "crack" frm my back! >.<>

otw to work, at the mrt station at my place... i fell... on the escalator!! kenna cut deep on the front of my ankle... the rest are just bruises and swollen... i din really know how bad it was until i felt my feet abit "wet"... looked down and saw the cut bleeding almost into my shoe... aarrrgghhh....

stumbled all the way to work and my colleagues commented, "u fell at ur plc, why u dun just go back home?" yah hor... i nvr thot of tat.. i was only thinking, "shit, i'm gonna be late!" i'm getting clumsy and STUPID!

and i was wearing flats!! tis really proved the weird theory i have... i fell down WORST wearing flats/slippers! when i wear my 3", i seldom fell!!! yes i noe it's just weird... okie okie maybe i only twist my ankle but nvr bruises and bleeds mah...

physio therapy...

went for my physio today... had the heat and electro-dunnoe-wat treatment, which felt like ba guan western style. was taught some exercises to help strengthen the back.

physio therapist said, it was the fall tat worsen the old fracture... i'm not to bend or lift heavy stuffs. so would the files fly to me?! sigh... if i carry one by one, i'll prob have to walk ard hundreds times a day -_-"

and yes she say try to cut down on the housework... so bubble pls sweep and mop the floor. yes, clear ur own poo and bath urself too.. and dun forget the laundry...

the rehab centre was full of old people strolling ard with walking sticks. and i walk as slow as them... -_-"

tml back to work.. i must wake up earlier than usual. now i take longer to walk to the mrt station u noe...

drug reliance....

i can't survive without painkillers!!!

found myself unable to move tis morn. nope i din oversleep. i was wide awake, just can't move cos of the pain... aaarrgghhh....

went to the doc [for mc and painkillers]... given 3 days mc and the not-effective suniton [tat AH prescribed] along with synflex and anticid... NOW we are talking abt real painkillers!

din like tis reliance one bit... but nope, i do not need to wean it off.. i'm NOT a drug addict... yet!

i hate to take so many days of mc... i dunnoe wat kinda of mountain of work i'll be returning to... or how many hours of OT i need to clear my stuffs... or how my lady boss or little boss feels towards tis... watever the case, i can't make it to work lah... walking now seems like a triathlon...

okie i have no idea wat i'm blabbering abt... i think i'm doped >.<

Poem: Serpent in Disgust

the smell of
freshly steamed buns
was too alluring
a bite into it
my stomach turned
my taste buds protest
in an uproar
what lousy
meat bun is this
tasting like cardboard?

i must rinse my mouth
to rid of its foulness
the smell of fresh mint
fills my toothbrush
and mouth
the television in the room
is broadcasting
about a certain toothpaste
i stared at the tube
and vomited

flopped onto the bed
stared at the ceiling
a few fine cracks
stared back at me
then a few dust of cement fell
onto my started face
as the cracks enlarged
and started to crumble
i ran out of the room
and the hotel

the awakening dragon
turns out to be
a serpent
in disgust.

Poem: Subtle Oppression

the media is talking
about a certain man
ending his life by
jumping onto
the rail

disruption
to the masses
curses arise
his story surfaces
about how he suffers

from a debt he can't afford
his household in peril
electricity and water
cut off
children quitting school

is there no other way,
is there no help?
who could he turn to
the loan sharks or
the government?

he is not alone
i suppose

with a barely surviving pay
no house to call a home
no husband to share the burdens
no significant amount in cpf
and many bills to pay

i don't qualify to rent
even a tiny flat from hdb
i earn 'too much' they stated
banks won't give me a loan
i earn 'too little' they claimed

stuck in a progressive society
that only help those
who help themselves
but would i still need help
if i could on my own?

i am not alone
i suppose

suddenly it seems
jumping off the platform
may well be
an option

I've moved!!!

on sun i've finally shifted! got the room done up... wash and clean bathroom... unpack every boxes! totally knocked out after tat, yest slpt till 12+... i won't even wake up if not for bubble, he was hungry :P

BANG BANG BANG

nope, not someone shooting a gun, tho i wish i can do tat to some idiot... it was someone banging stuffs and screaming... end up, it's the idiot bastard frm below my unit banging and screaming at my door!

i called the police and refused to ans his screams... peeped thru the door and heard him making phone call asking for some police post no. he wasn't ard when the inspector came... but while talking to him, tat idiot heard and came up yelling...

turned out that he and his wife and their precious baby got woke up by my dog bouncing his ball!! wtf??!!! the other inspector even told him to stop yelling. which he of cos denied and claimed tat's the normal tone he talked... his wife came up and reasoned with me... claim tat they have been toleranting me for the past 2 yrs... harlo?! i wasn't even staying here for the past 2 yrs! saying if i can't control my dog then i'll have to send him away... i rebuked her, when her baby cry in the middle of the nite did i expect her to give her baby away?! she said her baby is a sg citizen, does my dog has a license?! wtf!!!

i told the inspector to settle her and let me noe when he's done... and i closed the door...

later i talked to the inspector again... i told him, look my dog doesn't even bark... and there were more than 1 dog barking at tat moment... i asked him to listen himself.... other dogs are barking, does tat guy wanna check all the dogs license?! my dog not even making noise... i also told him i'm moving out tis sun... he said he'll tell them cos anything short of tat would not pacify the couple [and i can still hear the guy talking in his normal tone with the other inspector]... the inspector commented they prob have their own issue and too overbearing... yah, tell THEM abt it!!!

Quiz: Color Quiz

Your Existing Situation
The existing situation contains critical or dangerous elements for which it is imperative that some solution be found. This may lead to sudden, even reckless, decisions. Self-willed and rejects any advice from others.

>> knowing me, it might be more stressful AFTER i make reckless decisions leh!

Your Stress Sources
Has lost the resilience and strength of will necessary to contend with existing difficulties, which appear to her as deliberate opposition. Stands her ground, but is subjected to intolerable pressure. Needs cooperation and emotional fulfillment and feels that, in their absence, there is nothing she can do to improve the current situation. Wants to 'get away from it all' quickly.

>> yes, when will this shit end and be cleared out?!

Your Restrained Characteristics
Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction from sexual activity.

>> nope i dun want flings -_-"

Your Desired Objective
Longs for sensitive and sympathetic understanding and wants to protect herself against argument, conflict, or any exhausting stresses.

>> i dun wanna argue liao, so watever lah... ...

Your Actual Problem
Anxiety and a restless dissatisfaction, either with circumstances or with unfulfilled emotional requirements, have produced considerable stress. She tries to escape into an idealized atmosphere of sympathy and understanding, or into a substitute environment of estheticism and beauty.

>> beauty is easier to find than understanding... ...

Your Actual Problem #2
The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are really beyond her capabilities, or reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal (but unadmitted) inadequacy. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

>> in the end, there's really nothing i can do abt it. damn!!!

take the quiz...

munching thru thomson...

last nite went for a gluttony session... started out at ramu's, yes i noe i shouldn't be eating bryani and curry but man, the fish head curry is superb!!! *drool* of cos not to mention the squid, the fish roe, the chicken... i kinda like the veggies they serve as sides, got eggplant! hehehe.... and yes i mms the pic of the squid head, the fish eye and jaw to poor ferret [who din turn up as promised]. i got a pic of a drawing of the universal hand signal back! *hint: it's not the peace sign... :P

next we proceed down to crab shack. i had a 2-piece meal, which is 2 small flower crabs + a side. i probably won't go for it again tho. i prefer the big ass crab at signboard seafood hehehee....

kuali went to get some cheese brownies from the baker's story while we were having crabs. ooooooh boy the cheese brownies are NICE NICE NICE NICE!!! *drools controllably*

lastly, we went on to icekimos for icecream!!! i got so excited seeing belgian chocolate tat i din see there's green tea & red bean and black sesame flavor *sob*

i think we actually traumatised some guys from the way we eat... when i finally declared "I'm full!", one of them went, "finally!!!" ooops..... *blush blush*

*note: pics will be uploaded soon...

wine buffet + pool tournament

sat nite went for a wine buffet at winehut... had a great deal, thanks to the organiser... $20 freeflow of wine [3 reds and 1 white] from 8-11pm... under the great influence of the sub-forum i'm part of, the group of us (abt half the attendences) ate and ate and ate! food pics will be uploaded later...

the vneck halter dress seems to fit alright in the fitting room, tat is until i wore it today... the front seems to keep slipping downwards! my colleague commented maybe cos i lost weight "there" and the fats moved southward.... NNNOOOO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

bubble stitches removed

just got back frm the vet for bubble's post-op check up. had his stitches removed, but still have to wear the e-collar for another 3-4 days... did another blood test for his liver problem. slight problem, not chronic... now he's on a liver supplement for 3 wks. so hopefully it helps him to absorb more nutrients and get wat the vet call a "super model figure": slim with abit of muscles...

total damage today: $117/-

his next appt will be a mth time and he'll get his vaccination then... *can see more $$$ flying out*

the good thing is he seems to be recovering well... and he actually put on 200g!!!! i guess the vet's prescribed food and more time spent with him helps. i foresee my social life have to suffer while i give bubble more time... issit worth all the $$ and sacrifice? *look at bubble playing his toy* YES! i'm all the family he have now. and he's my family too....

DON'T touch me!" and walked out of the train....

recently watching a taiwan drama series.... in it got a very interesting line.

"even if we fall down, we must still laugh proudly"

how true... in life there are ups and downs. shit does happened, and we do slip on it and fall... but even when we fall, we should laugh... not cos we ki siao but cos the laughter will help ease the pain of the fall... HAHAHAHA... yes i'm laughing... on my butt.... ;)

This is for all you girls 30 years and over.... and for those who are turning 30, and for those who are scared of moving into their 30's AND for guys who are scared of girls over 30!!!

This was written by Andy Rooney from CBS 60 Minutes.

Andy Rooney says:
As I grow in age, I value women who are over 30 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 30 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 30 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it! She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 30 knows herself well enough to be assured of who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 30 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.
Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 30 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even
her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women. Women over 30 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 30. They always know.

A woman over 30 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 30 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 30 for a multitude of reasons.

Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 30+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologise for all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free".

Here's an update for you - Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage .

Poem: Kindergarten

sitting in a corner, feeling trapped
by strange creatures that screamed
and cried for their mothers;
does tears blind our eyes? i wondered
as they failed to see the one they longed for
are just a glass panel away.
i watched in silence the teacher who
was too busy to teach; trying her utmost
to coax a class of thirty-nine.
soon a familiar face appeared beyond
the windows and panicking mothers;
my very own to save me from this noisy chamber.

eat eat EAT!

on last fri nite went hog's breath cafe, ordered a 200gm steak instead of the normal 300gm... and nope i dun wanna venture into 400gm!! -_-" but the steak is good *cover mouth giggles*

At this particular time, you are feeling that you are or were unjustly and undeservedly treated and/or betrayed in your hopes and dreams. You feel that everything is against you. But look on the bright side for you are, whether you believe it or not, a survivor.

You are very orderly, methodical and self sufficient. You demand and need the respect, recognition and understanding of all those who enter into your sphere on influence.

You give the impression that you are a self-sufficient individual, pretending that you are stoical - indifferent to pain or pleasure. But this is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional person, one that may make hasty decisions and perhaps repent at leisure. It is time now perhaps to break the bond of detachment and become the real 'you' - the you that you would like to be.

All of the stress and strains resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. You have been going out of your way to make a good impression, but you have reservations as to the likelihood of succeeding. You feel that you have a right to accomplish all that you set your mind on but you have become helpless and distressed when circumstances have gone against you. The idea of failure is most upsetting and this can even mean utter dejection. You see yourself as a scapegoat and you feel everyone in your sphere of influence has tried to take undue advantage of you. You are trying to convince yourself that your failure to achieve standing and recognition is not of your making but indeed of those around you.

You are moody and depressed at this time but it will pass. All of your hopes and dreams seem to have gone astray and you are fearful of planning further for the future. Disappointment at the non fulfilment of your hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety and you try to escape from this by withdrawing into yourself. But that is not the answer. You have the power to succeed, believe in yourself... all is possible to him who believes.

half-abled...

last wed my left arm starts to hurt... finally went to see sinseh on sat. wat i thot was just prob pull a muscle ended up to be my elbow OUT of place.... freaky!! the sinseh "cluck" it back in place... it happened too fast, i was too shocked to scream...

1st thing when sinseh saw my arm, he ask: "你打架还是跌到？" i also fainted... nope, i just carried too many files... issit a sign i worked too hard?! *lub chin*

it's really irritating, aching pain... and most inconvenient cos i'm left handed! everything by default use left hand to grab/hold/carry... grap/hold/carry liao then OUCH!!!

instant noodle no more!

got sick of instant noodles and tried a new recipe... japanese beef curry with udon!

added too much water, end up have to add in double potion of instant jap curry paste... the baby carrots ain't "mushy" enuff... beef costed me almost S$8... wat an expensive dinner! but the end result was yummy!! and here's the end product... *giggles*

date molest...

read from a forum :

a gal went movie with a guy... during movie, the guy holding the popcorn and his arm touches her boob while they were "sharing" the popcorn... apparently it happens quite a no. of times. after they went home, the guy sms her apologising for being "notty" and some other teasing smses...

realising wat happened, she claimed he molested her; him claimed that she led him on... this causes a dozen of so threads on this topic... posted by herself and others who noe of the story... trying to expose this guy...

i'm not thr i can't judge... no matter how revealing the gal dresses, it gives no permission for any guy to grope her... but surely a gal should have more sense to realise she is being molested and not only when the guy himself sms her abt it?! or does it felt so "normal" tat she's actually okie with it? ignorance is no excuse... even IF she are only 19... but for goodness sake, she's a mod for a sex forum, how ignorant can she be? in her own words, well versed doesn't mean she want to do it.. true, but if she is truly well verse in the matter of sexual issues, shouldn't she know when a guy trying to hit on her?

if she din protest it when it happens, why create a big hooha on the net for a few days?! if it really bothers her tat much, go make a police report...

i'm not saying the guy is right... he obviously have motives to try his "luck" with her... but hey, the gal can always say NO!

see-food!!!

just got back frm sunggei renggit [i hope i got the spelling rite], a seafood outing with my colleagues...

- met at 930AM [by right lah, by left 945 liao] at changi jetty
- waited for ferry till ard 1130AM
- an hr ferry to destination
- 20mins cab ride to restaurant in their little town... it's like F1 m'sia style -_-"
- stuff ourselves with 2 lobster dishes, superior soup and marmite [total EIGHT lobsters]; 1 pepper crab dish; 1 something meat; 1 fried baby squid; 1 veggie...
- the rest got some food stuff: u noe local stuffs like biscuits, honey and GUMS! hehehee....
- took cab back to jetty
- the horrible 1hr boat ride back to sg
- finally reach sg at 515PM!

i must say the food is really value for money, divided by 8 of us, each is 94RM abt S$40! but the journey... -_-" next time i think we book coach lah! i can't take the ride, plus the jumping frm bumboat to bumboat just to get on shore is abit too much for me to handle! wendy say i very dcos of the way i "screamed"... *faintz*

here's the SEE food! *giggles*

<-- lobster in superior soup! it's as big as our plate lor

lobster in marmite! tis is really really tasty.... yummy! -->

Observations: Bus/Mrt 1.0

just realised tis is my 1st bus/mrt series for the year!

.01
Mode of Transport: Mrt
Time of Travel: On the way to work

tis is not an observation but a personal encounter... was making the train transfer. as usual ppl trolled the door, making it a mission [nearly] impossible for ppl to get out. i managed to squeeze in... experience has taught me if i miss tis train, i'll have 75% chances of being late. just when i thot i must be the last to squeeze in tat train, i was "cushioned" in... by a very fat man with a huge tummy!!! excuse me, i'm not tat fond of santa claus, esp at MY age.... -_-"

great, now i'm sardined between bodies w/o anything to hold onto [tho with the "cushioning" i din seems to need to]... and being slight castrophobic is making me nausea.... i wonder wat will happen if i puke onto the angmoh's suit right in frnt of me...

wat's most horrifying is when i relate the story to WL and she commented, scarli he had an erection and u also dunnoe cos of his huge tummy... *faintz*

horror factor: 5/5

.02
Importance of height

esp when being sardined in a train at peak hours... in the same encounter as above, there's a petite lady standing right next to the angmoh... he was holding onto the handrail and her face was just inches away from his armpit -_-" i could see her trying to shift away but there's simply no way for her to turn her body... if i'm her height i'll prob be staring into his armpit too... thank goodness i'm not TAT short and thank goodness for 3" stilettos!!!

horror factor: 4/5 [if u r the petite lady!]

siao on or simply siao?!

thurs nite finally went to see a doc; flu on and off since mon... "pre-warn" my boss tat i might be on mc yest...

suay thing is otw to the mrt, i fell and twisted my ankle! a lady was right behind me and was very helpful... but due to "face" matter, i insisted i'm okie... yah lah i lied. how to be okie when i was wearing a 3" heels?! -_-" limp all the way to mrt then to see doc then back home...

yest did came into office after lunch. the few extra hours of rest did wonders to my flu. felt much better and fever was gone, plus it's fri the most bz day of the wk, all letters and courier have to be out, and i must ensure i've cleared ALL my diaries...

colleagues were asking why i on mc still come in? and one comment of me being the model employee came out frm one of them... issit a compliment? frankly, it doesn't come across to me as one... more like "why u so siao on? spoilt market lah!"

maybe i siao... i not doing tis to "3-leg" my lady boss or win the best employee award [there's ain't one anw]... it's simply call "responsibility". or u can call it "workaholic"... the bottomline is, i'm happy with my job and i actually enjoy it!

sidenote: i no longer doing my wkend nite job liao. they have other gals liao, nvr schedule me already... -_-" hopefully can survive AND save $$ w/o tat and rental...

cc and bcc....

in the movie "just follow law", one impt lesson the lead actor taught is to cc and bcc. even in private sector this is essentially impt for survival. some bosses will buffer off shits, some will pass all the shit blame on... even those of their own.

therefore, even if it's harmful to environment [waste of paper], it's always good to file in amendments, instructions etc. wat to do? if we dun cc and bcc, who else will cc and bcc for us? wahahahahaa....

bad fengshui...

it must be a cursed cubicle for secretaries... yest the 5th secretary at tat cubicle has tendered with 24 hr notice... tat's only her 1st day at that seat! prior to her, 1 got chopped, 1 requested transfer, 2 tendered... the other secretary who might get transfer thr commented if she kenna thr, she'll quit... 5 secretaries in 3 mths... tat must be a guiness record!!

either it's either really bad fengshui or it's the "head" problem... *evil chuckles*

and pls... dun transfer me thr! I'll "flip face" de.... grrrr..........

just follow instruction? naaaahhh

been wondering why my flr is often sticky even when i just mopped it... and finally on cny eve i found out some instructions are to be ignored! accordingly to instructions, all i need is 1.5 cup of the flr detergent in 1/2 pail of water, and no rinsing is required... WRONG! i actually need 3 cup of detergent and to rinse with clean water! only then will my flr won't have a sticky feeling... tmd, and i have to find out from a guy... -_-"

and some instructions or rather "rules" set at work is definitely have to be ignored... sorry i can't follow stupid instructions or unreasonable rules set as and when the CEO feels like it... time to find out more abt labor laws and email of newpaper... dun force me... *grumbles*

seeing blue on v-day...

amidst the "wah"s and "ooh"s, i received a bouquet of roses and chocolates... in BLUE! the roses i meant... dun think i'll be tat adventurous to consume blue chocolates :P

feel so sweet.... it's been a LONG time since i last receive any flowers lor, not even a stalk of grass... giving flowers seems so cliche and so inpractical... it'll die in a couple of days anw... but the joy and happiness it brings to a gal's heart is still undeniable... *blush*

just one qns tho... why blue roses?! *scratch head*

had ala carte buffet dinner at a jap restaurant... saw the recommendation in a magazine. and frankly? i won't recommend it! limited variety, slow services [it wasn't even very packed]... the only dish we keep ordering is the sword fish sashimi, teppanyaki beef and snow fish :P

shut up and do your work!

okie, now even gmail is blocked! no more chatting allowed... all becos of 2 persons went and shot abt 1 new staff for doing work slow and chatting all the time... win liao lor... heng no bloggers ard, if not -_-"

well, while i had it, it was short and sweet... *sob sob*

chat with me...

my dear wendy has gotten me a gmail a/c... now u can chat with me via web at joanne.tare@gmail.com *cover mouth giggles*

benefits or penalty?

we have to work only 1 sat in a mth... not too bad ya? except when the management find one in some disciplinary issues, this "benefit" would be taken away and one will have to report to work every single sat.

co. only recognised medical clinic is raffles. co. will in turn pay for the medical fees... free medical, tat is until the max. value of $120 per year. any idea how expensive is per visit? *roll eyes* so technically, we can only afford to fall sick and see doc 3.5x a year... last yr my quota was prorated, and i have to top up $200+ to repay the co. this is wat i get for tahaning all the way to office then see doc at city hall, and sometimes not taking the mc even!!! it's at least 30-40% more than the one at sengkang... *grumbles*

these applies to all those who tender resignation... no more sat offs; no more medical AND annual leave. it's almost like one get punish just for leaving the co...

cny coming...

next wkend would be cny... can't believe it's here so fast... gosh, windows not cleaned, bathroom not scrubbed, curtain not bought, bubble not groomed... -_-"

decided NOT to give angbaos... news will have to be out sooner or later. no pt giving just cos i wanna avoid the "questioning"... only thing is, i wonder how my granny gonna react to receive such news on new yr day... sigh.... sorry granny, tat goes ur dream of carrying great-grandchild... but tat's beyond my ability liao :P

looking forward towards the break... how nice to "off" so long *giggles* tho i'll prob die b4 tat trying to clear all the diaries and when i return to face mt. everest!!!!

can die cannot sick...

been having fever for the past 2 days... tis morn was planning to sleep till 8am then go see doc before coming into office... alas, a sms frm my "little boss" crashed my plan... he's on half day leave tis morn. no choice, have to rush into office and end up late... -_-"

fever? still there lor... popped 2 panadols and hope for the best *pray it's not the prelude to chicken pox*

and when can i go see doc and get a mc? hmmm... mon and fri are out. wkend i gotta work... oh next available day would be next tues... tmd, get sick also need to schedule *grumbles*

Dream comes true??!!

rem how i used to dream [and joke] abt how nice it would be to transfer my tummy upwards? apparently, science had advanced tat now it's possible...

yest went for a woman health talk. introducing this new bust serum [actually been in the market for abt a yr]... tat's able to "transfer" the excess fats in our arms and abdomenal to our "pair of best friends"!! sorry doesn't work for guys downwards! wahaahhahahaaa...

promised to give an instant [and gradual natural] lift, enhanced the size and prevent breast cancer [endorsed by sg breast cancer society]...

of cos dun expect it to be viagra and immediately shoot up... nor like implant, from A to C lah... at least a A will have a fuller A... saw the live demo [ladies ONLY] and witness the instant lifting of the boobs... hmmm... *lub chin* yes the lifting is only 1-2cm... but hey in 10 mins?! not bad i must say...

next sun they having a launch with promo.... should i go? *blush* who wanna go with me? hehehee... gals only hor!

cny wishlist...

- new curtains
need new ones so that i can bring down the old ones to wash.... can't slp "explosed" mah...

- shoes racks
since i've moved, i realised my shoes collection has slowly but surely been increasing... stacking shoes on top of each other is kinda messy :P

- shelf cupboards for kitchen
wanna remove my existing "tables" of oven stove and dryer and use a proper cupboard for my supply of junk food... hahahaaa

AV...

men loves it.... it thrills them, excites them... causing blood to flow thru their mortal bodies....
women hates it... it hurts them, irritates them... causing blood to flow out of their bodies....

but of cos AV means totally different things to both man and woman.... -_-"

what the PINK?!

yes! i've edited my template.... new year new look mah... it's time for a change: something different; something drastic; something opposite of my signature black!

actually it's cos now that i update my blog unofficially during official hours, i needed a bkgrd that "blends" well with my other applications... ssshhh.....

and yes.... wat the PINK?! well i did mentioned something drastic rite? i am actually quite sweet beneath the cold facade... the coldness is just a defensive mechanism... when one break thru that ice shield, he/she will find tat i am not only quite teh, but also quite quiet, demure and shy de.... *blush*

do i sound convincing?! yes no?! hehehee....

frozen....

nope i'm not talking abt last nite ch5 show "the day after tomolo"... the weather has been so chilling lately... even sleeping w/o fan on, wrapped in quilt, i still wakes up every morn frozen... it would be ridiculous to install heater in sg! plus sg got sell heater meh?! *lub chin*

aircon in office doesn't help either... i think i need to get more jackets for work...

i supposed to others it may not be TAT chilling... but i'm in a weaken state i guess... *sips piping hot red date tea* need to "replenish" my blood sia... if not, i might cont'd not having cramps for a long while...

sinking shit....

sorry if u happen to read this while eating.... *evil chuckles*

just attended a "talk" yest and realised a healthy human should do big biz twice a day!! okie i'm super unhealthy... unless i was having diahrrea... -_-" and that our shit should not sink... it shows that it contains lotsa metal which means our bodies are losing iron... no wonder i low blood until i almost fainted! if our shit floats it means our bodies is keeping the nutrients its supposed to be...

yes i dun want my shit to sink... and i dun wanna step on shit too! office is currently in the state of war... must practice "ling bo wei bu"!!!

New Year New Hope?!

it's the time of the year again... to set goals and resolutions; dreams and visions...

last year i was in total lost... tis year is sorta less-lost?! ooh well, in this brand new year, i hope to....

- tone up my tummy... yes i lost my boobs and butts but my tummy stubbornly remain!!! aaaarrrgghhh.....
- save at least $200 per month...
- sell the flat... and then [u know lah]...
- find a place to rent together with my beloved... i mean bubble lah wahahahaaa.....
- attend church service at least once a month... once a year is really too much lah :P

most importantly... survive with just one pay [can my boss plsssssss give me a good increment??!!] so tat i can have enuff rest and get back my health... and tat inturn should stop making ppl ard me worried abt me :P
