Really fell sick last Tuesday..
Actually wasnt feeling well during the weekend already... but then Tuesday evening till Sunday... damn.. i was K.O.ed..
Slept 6 days with fever and non stop coughing.. woke up only to go to toilet and visit to A&E on Friday night cuz my bf was so worried that I had dengue...
Monday fever seemed to have gone, and wanted to go office cuz have new colleague so had to give deep dive training. But upon hearing my voice on my way to the office, my manager ordered me to turn the cab around and go home. I was banned from office..
So i went to see my good ol' doctor.. verdict?
burnt out..
I have finally burnt out from work.. Ever since I joined, i worked like a machine. my laptop was on 24 hours. I was, and still am, practically living in front of my laptop... ya.. it is silly.. and work is work.. but i couldnt stop.. serious workaholic you call it...
It has gotten worse upon my promotion last year. Sleeping less, more time on the phone, in front of laptop therefore no time to shop...
Since i was sleeping for past 9 days, i had time to think...
why do i work so hard?
more money.. to have a comfortable life.
so i work hard, and i do have more money but in the end i got burnt out, therefore it is so uncomfortable because i am coughing non stop so I cant sleep!
So whats the point?
I am going to work seriously 9 to 5. I am finally reporting back to work tomorrow. And onwards I am only going to work 9 to 5. My shop closes at 5pm sharp. I am planning to start leaving my laptop in the office from onwards... errrmm.. maybe this i need bit of time.. heh

been out for awhile
Was MIA from the party scene for awhile..
been too busy with work, i seriously had no time for anything..not even for my dear babies - Polly and Crayon..
Last friday was a nice chill out time with lots and lots of mojitos.
Check out the Cuba libre.. it is opp Clinic entrance.. The mojitos are heavenly.. Esp made from my now fav bartender, Kai.. :)
Really felt like i was in Cuba, like in Miami Vice where Gong li takes colin ferral for good mojitos on a speed boat...

been busy...
took up this role, without much thoughts.. didnt expect I would be occupied with work almost whole day including weekends.. Leading the team is fun, but trusting them and overseeing their work on top of my own work doubles up my workload..
Totally gave up going out for drinks on weekdays, and even clubbing on Friday night became a chore, because i am just too tired end of the week.
instead, i found myself enjoying company of friends for lunch and meet up for dinner before heading back home to work, short trip to JB (w/o taking leave!), going gym twice or three times a week instead of heading to a pub (which is more healthier!), and of course being in a r/s changes everything..
now, it seems like work is settling down, where i am getting used to the stress, expectation, tiredness and crappy mood. I love the new office at cityhall.. I love chilling out at cheesecake house at siglap with loads of magazines.. Love the fresh saturday morning breeze without any hangovers..
This weekend was a nice chill out weekend which I didnt have for a long time. I didnt even switch on my laptop didnt even think about work.. it was all about me myself and him.
it was such a bliss to just chill and enjoy eachother's company..
and it's monday again with a splitting headache...... :P

15 years in Singapore!
Arrived here in 1986.. Left Singapore back to Korea in 1990.. Still young that time, I had no idea wat it was like..
Had good 6 years in Korea.. Secondary School.. begining of high school..
Came back to Singapore 1996 Jan 26th.. I still remember that day so clearly.
It was a real cold day, and my best friends and my boyfriend at that time came to the airport to send me off. It was first time I found out for a fact that, guys do cry...
Arrived Singapore with my brother to join my dad.. house wasnt ready so we lived at the meridien hotel for a month..
Finished my fun international high school, went to lasalle where i had the biggest culture shock (I hated Singaporeans then and couldnt understand Singlish), had the most fun times in Lasalle, graduated got a job and till now...
Now 2007... in Singapore for 11years.. plus the 4 years I had when i was young.. total 15 years..
it is blink of an eye.. More than half of my life I have grown up in Singapore. I call Singapore Home, where Korea became a holiday destination. I am so used to the hot weather, I am so scared of cold.
I am a pure authentic Korean for sure.. And i will never give up my korean passport.
And one day of course I would want to go back.. maybe when i retire.... :P
but sometimes i do wonder.. am i more of a korean or more of a Singaporean?
A questions i still cant answer...
Why do I love Singapore?
1. Chicken Rice and the Chilli!!!! I will crave for this when I am in overseas
2. Sambal blachan... the best chilli! Esp homemade ones are the best
3. Takashimaya and Paragon! The best malls ever
4. Changi Airport.. do i need to say more?
5. SUN! can tan almost every day!
6. Location.. so easy to fly to any countries!
7. Super Airconditioning - be it office, cinema, malls...
8. Clean shiny cars on the road
9. low income tax!
10. buying winter clothes at great d/c price!
11. Great Singapore Sales!
12. Zoo!
13. orchids
14. Pepper Crab at Jumbo!
15. Clubbing - esp Velvet!
16. Everyone seems to know everyone.. small world.
17. Singapore Airlines
18. Yakun kaya toast
19. cheap cab fares
20. Singlish- try explaining when to use "lor", "lah", "leh" end of the sentence?
21. Men! - tell u the truth, i think Singapore men are great! :)

What's your personality love style?
Here is the analysis:
Love at first sight is your style.
You are not fussy about who you fall for, and often there seems to be no rational reason for you deciding to love someone, it just happens and you'll follow your heart. When you do fall for someone, you fall completely. Your love is somewhat child-like, or what people like to call "puppy love".
While following your heart is important, you should also remember to use your head occasionally.
oh gosh... is so true........
take the test!

Sun "could" rise from the west tomoro...
I said could not will :P
First time in last one year and half, ever since i started with this new job, i actually took a train to work!!!
I always grab a cab which takes usually 15 mins and costs 7 - 8 dollars..
But waiting for cab about 5-8 mins, and if call a cab, additional $2.50, i decided to try the mrt today...
Besides, i used to take mrt to work everyday in my prev co.. and good weather today with nice cool breeze... could wear my cool new sunnies too :)
So I did, and actual travel time was about 35 mins inclusive of taking the condo shuttle to the train station...
As my boyboy says.. it is a good start.. :)
Lets see how long it will last.. haha..

Feline rulez!!
SYDNEY - An Australian bank has apologised for issuing a credit card to a cat after its owner decided to test the bank's identity security system.
The Bank of Queensland issued a credit card to Messiah the cat when its owner, Katherine Campbell, applied for a secondary card on her account under its name.
'I just couldn't believe it. People need to be aware of this and banks need to have better security,' Ms Campbell told local media on Thursday.
The bank said the cat's card had been cancelled. 'We apologise as this should not have happened,' it said. -- REUTERS

It's about time i apply supp cards for my babies so they can get their ass off the couch and go and get their own food and treats!!
OMG.. you know wat would be freaky? imagine u get a call from the bank saying your supp card given to Polly Purfect has just made a transaction and has exceeded the credit limit....

"feel my heart. do you feel it beating?"
when i still didnt believe, you said..
"you will know the truth tomorrow morning.."
and next morning you told me you have asthma and allergy to fur and dust.. but you so lovingly hug and play with my cats and made Crayon fall in love with u...
when you sang for me unplugged..
"I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details..."
you made me want to be that somebody for you..
when i asked you what you feel like doing today..
"Just spend time with you"
when we went shopping u hated so much and keep bugging me..
"Lets go perm eye lash" :D
when u left me alone in the car to top up your cashcard, you walked half way and came back and said with a cheeky grin....
"If anything happens to you, just run, dont scream cuz i cant hear you"
when i was feverish the other nite you came all the way to my place riding in the rain to feed me some bunch of vitamins (but no vitamin C).. and said..
"Shut up and eat. Then you will be strong."
when i was pisst off at you cuz i couldnt feel you like and care about me, you pulled me towards you and said..
"i came all the way here. doesnt this mean anything to you?"
yes...
i know itz too soon.. but am getting smitten all over again...

Things that you do...
Somebody
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

As my friends say, that is why i am getting such a high pay.. yes.. i bring enough dough back home i think.. but seriously, i have no time to spend and enjoy! I was telling my boss, how to work like this.. i got no life.. and he replies:
"tat is why I have stopped going out! do you think Chris Kang (Cisco Systems MD) has life? do you think Lionel Lim (Sun Micro MD) has life? how do u think they got where they are now?"
oh so true... believe me... soon i will have no life while trying to fight my way up the corporate ladder...
Tho busy at work, was able to meet up with good friends for dinner everyday and have good conversation which helps me to relax and be ready for the next day.. and some mojitos of course on some occasion... :p Weekends i am totally shut down and enjoy the company of friends over coffee and meals.. and not forgetting patoh-ing..
This year had up and downs, but mostly, I have grown so much mentally.. been in and out of relationships like changing underwear (seriously!), work has been taken lot of my energy yet spent lots of money and time on clubbing too.. Been travelling alot therefore seen alot, met lot of different kind of people, which made me who I am now.. kinda.. :p
This year was real fast.. blink of an eye.. but was a good year and i hope to end it well too :)
aaawww... Thursday finally... Cant wait till Friday and a weekend with special someone or ones.. hehe ;)
Work has been hectic for past few days, since my darling boss last day is this friday.. traitor.. :P
He better give me unreleased Nokia phones man!
Handover, getting as much information as possible.. haiz... lucky i am smart.. if not i think i would have jumped down from my balcony, in which wont really help either cuz i stay at the 2nd flr :P
As my friends say, that is why i am getting such a high pay.. yes.. i bring enough dough back home i think.. but seriously, i have no time to spend and enjoy! I was telling my boss, how to work like this.. i got no life.. and he replies:
"tat is why I have stopped going out! do you think Chris Kang (Cisco Systems MD) has life? do you think Lionel Lim (Sun Micro MD) has life? how do u think they got where they are now?"

Artist: Kate Havnevik / Title: Grace (From Grey's Anatomy)
Listen to the song.. and read the lyrics..
then you will know exactly what i m feeling..
(song starts at 02:20 minutes)
-------
I'm on my knees
only memories
are left for me to hold
Dont know how
but Ill get by
Slowly pull myself together
Theres no escape
So keep me safe
This feels so unreal
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace
I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold
Like from another world
Come what may
I wont fade away
But I know I might change
Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace
Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
Ive lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace
then you will know exactly what i m feeling..

Nothing can bring me peace
Ive lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace

sweet but bizzare dream
I had the strangest dream last nite..
I was pregnant, happily married to a rich family.
Coincidently, my husband's younger brother's wife is also pregnant so we were at this furniture shop shopping for baby furnitures. And it is those dark teak wood furniture which I love... So we were looking for closet to keep baby clothes, look for baby day bed (yes baby version day bed!) etc.. (must be the influence of ikea catalog i was flipping during the day)
Me and the sister-in-law was happily shopping... Then mother-in-law came in and she was dang gorgeous.. really those tai tai with blings.. she was telling us this is good this is better etc... And FYI we live together - since we are darn rich, think we live in this big house and babies have a seperate room! but dang... i woke up before actually seeing the house... :P
Then tada~ my husband came with his younger brother - they are in family business of some sort - in flashy bimmer....
but.. i cant figure out how my hubby looked like. he was tall with good built.. prob look alot like my ex ex. anyway he was so generous and loving.. he kind of reminded me of my dad... we walked around the furniture store holding hands and he was like picking the furniture for me saying i need a new dresser etc etc....
but then i woke up....
It was very warm and nice dream..
---------------
And this is the interpretation of the dream.. 28D went to find out for me..
To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.
and i think... it is scary but true...

Drowned in red wine....
Ever since i came back, have been overdosed with red wine every day...
As my trainer always tells me, don't drink alcohol too much... but a little bit of wine is ok... :)
I dont like beer.. It just makes me full and go pee all the time. spirits are fine, but only when I want to get drunk and go crazy... :P So i settled down with red wine. Two to three glasses, I am happy and quite rightly drunk :P
Kind of learnt how to taste wine and differentiate the difference in wines.. but to me seriously, it doesnt matter.. wine is wine. as long as it is sauvignon or chardonnay... Just for knowledge sake i know wat is good and expensive wines so when i go dinner with angmohs and stuff I can pretend that i do know :P
i prefer 100 bottles of 20 dollar cheap but good wines than to 2000 dollars Grande bottle..
ahhh... how i wish right now, have a bottle of red wine, with my ipod and a good book lie down on a daybed in Bali... and watch the clouds go by.........

Back in Seoul again
Left San Fran this morning and now I am in Seoul.. Didnt sleep for 12 hours on the flight. Watched all the movies available and some, i watched 3 times.
Now I feel like a zombie.... brain dead... but the first things i do when i came home? Check my work email... damn... this is pathetic.. all i think about is work, work and work.. and of course my cats..
Overall San Fran trip was a blast. Worked hard, meetings whole day, socialise, went out everynight.. Now as an account manager officially, everyone was congratulating me.. and that actually adds pressure... i am so stressed! i have to change my sign off as "Regional Account Manager" now but that title comes with great amount of responsibility.. So I am still refusing to change my sign off... but one good thing? seems like there will be quite alot of travelling to do next year :) Free trips in company expense.. that I like!
Anyway, i will have two nights here in Seoul and head back home... From Wednesday, big meetings.. sigh...!
Seoul weather is not as cold as SF.. SF weather was beautiful... Sunny yet chilly.. Seoul is bit more gloomy..
I miss my cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it is a proof that i moved on and he moved on..
And now, we are fine.. we have mutual understanding... :P
I am so tired.. it is wednesday today, and my jet lag is still lurking...
Went to napa yesterday... Accounts planning meeting.. haha but it was more like account managers and directors fun day out.. napa is nice.. but californian wines.. hmmm.... not my thing.. i like aussie wines better... and my all time fav.. cloudy bay... :)

Lots of sun, laughter, eat and alcohol... able to do silly and stupid stuff without needing to think..
Got really cooked and burnt and now, my face is peeling.. :|

This coming weekend I will be leaving for San Franciso...
It's my third trip already to frisco, but in which this time round, it will be a bit different.. and sadly, i dread to go.. i wan to rest at home with my kitties.. I dread to be on the 16 hours flight... aaarrrggghh...
However, one thing i look forward to is meeting my best friend at Cheese Factory at Union SQ.. Who just moved to SF few months back to be with her bf.. so that would be super cool!
Then on my way back I have two nights in Seoul again... a relief!
Then when reach Spore i have full one week APAC eMarketing meeting... busy busy..
Then it will be december, and i have to go and haunt for a purfect Christmas tree for this year... thinking of buying a real pine tree this time.. :)

2 more nights to go in Seoul
So far my stay has been good.
Still being treated like princess at home, being driven around, use my dad's credit card, eat home cooked food, sleep as much as I want, meet friends, cheap drinking sessions... wat a bliss... wish this can last forever..
Tomorrow it is the thanksgiving day... Chuseok.. where all the relatives will gather.. i dread this kind of gathering..
cuz the first thing they ask is,
"when are you getting married?"
Gawd... dont they get it? 28 is still young to be married! I have career to build, i have money to earn, i have more places to travel.. where do i have time to get married??
So now i have a clever way of answering them and make them shut up when they ask this question.
"Yes, i DO want to get married but there is no men! Do you know one? Can you introduce me?"
yes. then they will keep quiet i tell you... :P
Met up with my colleagues on Monday and went for nice dinner and drinks..
Tuesday I went for a blind date, where we decided to be frenz cuz we both are not ready for marriage and we cant possibly be together.. We are too different!
Then met up with my best frenz and had nice dinner and drink session... Drinking in korea is so fun and so cheap!
Went shopping yesterday and was so tired.. there is juz too much people and koreans are juz so rude... in the end i couldnt buy anything with a very bad headache.. and i think i kena eye infection... cuz of pollution and stuff..
Later i will go driving with my dad's car... haha cant wait.. i gotta practise, cuz for next month SF trip, i gotta drive.. :P
i think i should nap first... ha.... how i wish this kind of life just goes on..

in Seoul enjoying the autumn
I realised to reach Korea - is now only 5 hours 45 mins... 10 years ago it was 8hours.. Has the globe became smaller or is it the technology? :P
The weather is nice.. 20 celsius.. Girls are ready in boots.. whereas guys are still in short sleeved tshirts with three quarters :|
Thankfully, my autumn/winter clothes are not outdated.. due to all the regular buys for the regular San Fran trips...
Slept all the way.. Tho I was on the world's best flight, SQ, i didnt even watch a single movie.. been working damn hard, partying hard for last few weeks that i lost so much sleep.. Slept through out the flight, and when reached airport, slept through out the journey to Seoul in the limo bus..
Always nice to be back home.. My home smell.. My mom's scent... My brudder...:) My dad will be back in Seoul tomorrow..
The thing I miss about Singapore?
1. My beautiful babies... I miss my cats to death.. and i know is gonna get worse..
2. My micro gel pillow
3. Friends to chit chat
okies i am gonna hit the bed now... will try to update what i have been up to in beautiful Seoul..

I depend on me
somehow i really relate to this song....
========
Question: Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave
Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 5050 in relationships
The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me

Stay or to go?
I have been so stressed out lately at work..
I mean i love my job.. however, it is tiring me out...
Truthfully, I have been working hard. Seriously hard. Put in so much hours. Pushing myself to be recognised as a super woman. That paid off by getting my bonus approved and waiting for my pay raise approval and most importantly gained RESPECT among colleagues and the bosses...
But sometimes I wonder why do i need to work so hard?
Why do i need to commit so much..? I am seriously losing sleep nowadays.. I am stressed about the upcoming big profile campaigns.. I am stressed about my team not meeting the deadlines.. I am stressed about vendors not giving me good assets..
I am stressed about handover while i am on vacation!
Why I should go
1. Losing Sleep
2. Stressful
3. Time difference with head office is challenging
4. Long working hours - but this is cuz i chose to...
5. Ridiculous con call hours... 7am in the mornings and 11pm in the evenings.... training at 2am...
6. Obsessed with checking emails at odd hours - like at 3am...
7. $$$$$ is never enough!
Why i should stay
1. Getting my bonus is Nov
2. Getting pay increment in Dec
3. Have the best boss
4. Flexible working hours so can go gym anytime i want to
5. Can work from home so can watch my crayon grow.. (!!!)
6. Get to go US pretty often
7. i am called the lord, queen of Spore in US head office
8. I am still in luuuuurve with my T.M.
9. turning down job offers cuz i get paid too much
10. no need to spend money on office clothes!
haiz.. by looking at it... Seems like i am gonna stay around for awhile...
work is work.. client side or agency side.. it is the same.. the grass on the other side always seems greener.. but.. it is the same in the end.. you get the same shit, you get the same crap.. thats why is called WORK... not PLAY...

Why do i need to commit so much..? I am seriously losing sleep nowadays.. I am stressed about the upcoming big profile campaigns.. I am stressed about my team not meeting the deadlines.. I am stressed about vendors not giving me good assets..
I am stressed about handover while i am on vacation!
Why I should go
1. Losing Sleep
2. Stressful
3. Time difference with head office is challenging
4. Long working hours - but this is cuz i chose to...
5. Ridiculous con call hours... 7am in the mornings and 11pm in the evenings.... training at 2am...
6. Obsessed with checking emails at odd hours - like at 3am...
7. $$$$$ is never enough!
Why i should stay
1. Getting my bonus is Nov
2. Getting pay increment in Dec
3. Have the best boss
4. Flexible working hours so can go gym anytime i want to
5. Can work from home so can watch my crayon grow.. (!!!)
6. Get to go US pretty often
7. i am called the lord, queen of Spore in US head office
8. I am still in luuuuurve with my T.M.
9. turning down job offers cuz i get paid too much
10. no need to spend money on office clothes!
haiz.. by looking at it... Seems like i am gonna stay around for awhile...
work is work.. client side or agency side.. it is the same.. the grass on the other side always seems greener.. but.. it is the same in the end.. you get the same shit, you get the same crap.. thats why is called WORK... not PLAY...

Today (Sunday), we had a chance to meet the idols, cuz they were shooting the mtv at my 2nd home - FLO. So i was there.. cuz of my friend who is the producer and other friend who is the manager :)
and the verdict... They are so sweet, nice and down to earth! All of us got along so well, and now we are supporting all 5 of them!
Jon is so super sweet, that he came up to me and introduced himself first.. I was in shock that i poured the water on the table... aarrgh :( and he chats happily with anyone.. he is so friendly and sweet.. Hady is nice too.. and we will party together once this whole thing is over! Joakim.. he is so tall.. lanky good looking kid.. Paul, actually he is really cute!! not irritating at all.. And Jasmine... so pretty and sweet.. she came up to us and thanked us for letting them film there.. gosh how sweet can they all be?
On wednesday, we are going for the show.. haha... gosh.. we are becoming a groupie..!
But we sure enjoyed ourselves.. right saffyz? :D yes.. will pass u the pix of u & Jon.. :P
8days were there snapping pix.. hopefully this time, we wont end up appearing in 8days like we did in TNP.. if i do, i will seriously, go MIA for awhile...

IF A MAN WANTS YOU
My friend just sent me this...
hehe, i think she knows how desperate i am looking for a man esp now i have finally called it quits with D...
Saffy, this applies to u too.. read well and absorb!!
=========
IF A MAN WANTS YOU
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be.
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve
then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself
a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant,
Why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you.
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has
more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never borrow someone else's man.
Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about
baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists
of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your
always readily available to him- he takes it for granted.
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another
RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate
them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.
BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY A MAN, SO TAKE A HINT............

She speaks fluent French, Spanish, and the crowd went wild when she spoke English and answered question in Japanese (of cos)! She is so cute when she smiles. Gawd...

Anyway I was rooting for her all the way... at least she came first.. I hope to see more of her!! woo hoo!!

My itchy fingers made me surf SQ site, and realised I have accumulated loads of kris flyer miles... So i can redeem free flights to following destination..
1. San francisco
- Give me a reason why i should waste my miles to go there to see someone who is now in the most least want to see list...
Besides, I will just wait for my co to approve budget to go there again soon so I can get extra kris flyer miles and give the someone a nasty big slap... kekeke *evil evil*
2. Seoul
- I think this makes more sense. Go there see my family and friends.. But I would rather go in winter... It is just too hot in summer! Sun is scorching hot and is so dry!! besides, my parents just left last week.....
3. Ho Chi Minh
- very cheap miles.. only 25k miles.. And I am definetely going this year.. But I am more thinking of going to Ho chi Minh then go Korea and come back to Spore.. So getting an one way trip ticket is not worth it
4. Sydney
- I would love to do sydney again. Didnt have much time the other time being sick and all so didnt get to visit hunter valley for more wine and blue mountain.. Maybe I should consider.. before the winter is over...
5. Bali
- Maybe I should just head to Bali to unwind.. I am almost burnt out.. too tired of work, people, relationship... just go there enjoy the sun, food, pool, wine and most importantly good lookin aussie surfers.. kekeke
6. London
- I cant believe i can even claim miles to go London! I miss London soooo much! And besides, can take Euro train to Paris for my LV shopping... and spain since the gals have been talking so much about the good looking dudes there keke... Maybe this i will consider in October.. ahh.. got two weddings in october.. dang..
Maybe I should go somewhere I never been before... like Italy.. nah.. this I am saving for honeymoon.. and if i wanna do europe, i will go london and take train for europe tour.. is more worth it..
Maybe I should go Canada.. oooh...
dang it.. maybe i should just go KL for mega sales in malaysia.. wait a minute! drive to KL is easier than to fly!
Any recommendations? and any kakis to go with me? anywhere? anyone?

Happy birthday to me!
I am finally 28!
Damn.. when did i get this matured? :P
It was a good birthday, tho it is my first brithday in a very looooong time which I cant even remember, having my birthday without having a boyfriend 'physically' by my side... feel so wierd! Tho he did send a prezzie and a sweet card plus e phone call all e way from SF... :P
Anyway, I am still happy, cuz i am so blessed with friends spending my birthday with me, and i received so many well wishes! And my parents were here tho they left before my birthday.. but at least i got the prezzie :P
So i can say this is the best birthday ever!
Thanks everyone, who remembered my birthday, and the wishes and the gifts...
I am truly truly blessed...
now, i am gonna open a bottle of wine for myself, to end a purrfect 28th birthday...
cheers to me, for many more happy birthdays to come!!

G'day mait!
Back from Aussie... and purrfected the G'day Mait aussie accent... haha
Next time i meet u guys, i will do it for ya... :D
finally visited Melbourne and Sydney.. Wanted to go there for long long time.. Had no expectations cuz i didnt know what to expect. juz that i had too many frenz who are from AU, so I just wanted to be there.. And not forgetting giving up my possible RMIT uni days... Sigh... :P
Absolutely loved Melbourne. Weather was cold but sunny..
Winery was good too! And meeting up with Lwee and Ross was absolutely fantastic..!!
Melbourne is more laid back compared to Sydney.. Less cars less crowded..
Shopping was real good too! Fell in love with Alannah Hill and Kookai.. Too bad I couldnt find more to shop!
Sydney is so city.. Busy people cars everywhere.. I fell sick in Melbourne so Sydney was a bit disasterous.. We were tired, not feeling well and the weather is cool but sun was like so sunny glaring everywhere.. But it is a beautiful city.. And meeting Mel was so good! Love that girl..
Dragged law out to have the famous bbq king.. the best roasted duck and biggest char siew I ever had!
Ooh and the oysters.... good gracious...
Too bad didnt have time to do Blue Mountain, Hunter Valley and Bondi beach.. I think I want to go back end of the year to feel the summer.. Anyone keen?
Overall, australia is a beautiful country.. Sun is good, weather is good.. And, they have the most beautiful skies you would ever see... I have been to lot of places but Australia sky and the clouds.. are beautiful..
And the wine... oooohh.. how i wish i could just live at Domaine Chandon and savour the wine from morning to dawn... aaaahhh... that, i call a purrfect life..!!
More pix!! click!!

black out
i got a shock this afternoon, when i was working from home..
My wireless suddenly went down and the house became extremely quiet... Then i realised.. Shoot... whole house power is out.
I opened the box to see if any of the switch was down, but all seemed ok. So I called the condo management, to check if it was only my unit.
And their reply was, oh they are replacing some power cable so the power is out from 2pm-5pm. I was furious. Howcome I wasnt notified? And they said it is on the notice board and it is on the lift... duh.... how about people like me who dont take lift? and notice board? come on!! who actually looks at such stuff?
So I argued that they should have sent a notice to each unit.... or better, dont they know what email is? Cheapest way to announce to the mass?? Maybe I should try to sell DI services to bayshore... ha!
Oh well.. I just felt better screaming at the poor fella.. I just love scolding people.. such a b-i-A-t-c-h... keke
So since I couldnt work, was thinking what could i do?
Watch tv.. shoot... no electricity..
do laundry! shoot... still no electricity!
should cook and have late lunch.. dammit... no electricity..
ok i should just shower and go out for a while... oh fuck... heater will not work so no hot water for me to bathe....
lets call a friend to complain.. shit.. mobile batt is low, and if it is out, i cant bloody charge!
And elee says, "water is still running right? mop floor!" :|
ah well.. i never knew how important electricity was.. until today.. i felt totally paralysed!!
well I guess we just dont appreciate things until it is gone...

Decisions Decisions Decisions
How do you make a ultimate decision that might change your life drastically forever?
Is it based on the logic and being rational plus calculations? Or follow where the heart is and your mind and what you are feeling?
I might make and I know I will in the end make a decision that I would definetely regret rest of my life which I will never ever forget and most likely blame myself.
But I will make that decision because it is only right thing to do... There is no 'if's, no 'but's.
And the funny thing is? I am cool with it...... shouldnt i be upset that I am making that decision based on being "realistic"?

Burn out
I am too tired..
Tired of work.. Tired of relationship.. Tired of life..
I am going downhill.. real fast.. but surprisingly, i am taking it pretty well.. I want to cry, but no tears to shed..
I think I have been away from God for too long.. This is a wake up call.. God calling me back to his arms that he has always been there for me.. It was me who tried to compromise and lived the way I wanted to for past one year.. Alot of good things happened and I thought it was because I am too good.. how conceited I was.. how wrong I was..
In these hard tiring days, I only have God to turn to.. And it is about time..
I know he will forgive me and accept me with open arms. I will leave everything to him and I shall obey only him with my whole heart.. He was and shall always will be - my light and my way..
=====
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever

i am doing fine
Clocked 68 working hours for past week.. damn.. why am i working so hard for??
But it was good enough to keep my mind of someone.
Went into a phase where I wanted to call it quits which he ignored the whole idea that made me mad.
And now, i decided to give time and see how it goes and we are going to figure it out. That is my only consolation right now.
Anyway, there are loads of work waiting for me again this coming week, and I am also looking forward to the Mid Year sales.. hehe
Then in two weeks I will be leaving.. for Australia! Yey!! this is purely for play. Last holiday I had was Bali in November, so I really do need a holiday now.. burning out from work, and to get away from all other things on my mind..
Then in July, there might be another trip to SF, if not I will be heading up to Seoul for a short break..
Oh guess what.. my bro and his banana frenz got into a street fight and he is hospitalised... LOL
Right now in the process of "blackmailing" the fella who broke my bro's nose and that fella has to compensate a huge sum since my bro cant work for 3 weeks...
And my brother has such a nice sharp nose lor.... should get compensation for ruining his good looks!

I am ::BLACK::
Black
Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

being loved?
I feel so loved and treasured..
But i need to understand what we are getting into. It is not as simple as it was when I was younger and naive.
When young, you are adventurous and oblivious of the consequences. You will dare to do all crazy stuff because you assume you are in love.. aahh.. those were the days.
As I am older and wiser (I hope!) it is head over heart..
I think in all different scenarios.. wondering what would happen if i do this or he does this and that.. I don't want to be selfish, but yet I don't want him to make hasty decisions because of me.. Either one of us has to make the major sacrifice. That is the only way it is going to work..
We knew what we were getting into.. and we are getting punished...
yes I really DO want this to work..
Just like that Leann Rimes song... Is this God's experiment?

American Idol
I catched most of the episodes for season 2 which I so much wanted Clay to win but he didnt..
Catched some of the season 3 which i wasnt that interested who would win anyways..
Catched all the episodes for season 4 until Bo got kicked out.
Didnt catch any episodes for season 5.. Catched a bit when i was in SF, cuz I really wanted to vote since I was in States and was on Cingular anyways but didnt really care who I was voting for.. Was just excited I could vote :p I was so deprived from voting for American Idol, I actually voted twice for Taufik. :p
But then, I finally got to catch it on Wednesday.. Good gracious, they all rock this season! And heavens... Chris rocks man!! I have a huge crush on this bad-boy-rocker dude...
Woo hoo! hope he goes till the end, and i will definetely buy his album! Even he doesnt win, i hope he gets a record deal..
ps- have you guys seen Ace's brother? he is even hotter than Ace!

What have I been up to??
Was and still am, so busy ever since I came back from SF.. so no time to update the blog.. Fisical year is ending and everyone is busy with reports and reports and reports.....
24 hours is just not enuf and 7 days a week is not enuf either..
However, I did manage NOT to work at all last weekend. For whole two days! I didnt on my laptop nor checked any of the emails... that was amazing.. But on Monday morning, my eyes just open at about 7am and started work.. am i a workaholic?
Hmm.. luckily enuf, I enjoy my work.. if not, I dont think i can take this..
Last last weekend, I was at Port Dickson with Wala family. It was fantastic with lotsa laughters, beers and beers.. Yes lotsa beers.. Got to know great friends and it was a great weekend getaway to get my mind off someone for few days :))
Then my colleague from SF was here for a short holiday. Brought them out to East Coast and they fell in love with the crabs and cereal prawns. Then headed down to new Asia bar for their tiger beer and singapore sling.. for me? Mojito of course!!
I went to highlight my hair last weekend, and I simply love it! I love to switch from dark hair to highlighted hair then back to dark hair :) Just lurrrve the way my stylist do upmy hair! She is just so fantastic! I have recommended so many people there..
Oh then I had to go to my x-colleague's Son's 1st birthday! It was fun catch up with the exs.. It was more like a dad and mommy's party then the kid's.. I mean what would a year old know? But he was so cute and he did enjoy when he saw the cake :)
Then was at this new bar "Skin" co owned by one of our Wala friends. Great place. I love it.. Now i know how to gauge my alcohol level.. I left the moment I knew I was getting drunk.... They have great mojitos and fantastic lycheetinis...
Then on Monday, my snr acc mgr from SF arrived so brought her out to Aroi Thai then again of course, headed to my fav New Asia bar for drinks :)
Someone *special* will be here in two weeks time :)
Can't wait. Planning what we are going to do and where we are going.. But I cant take any leave, but i will be working from home (hee hee!) though he says he will just relax at my pool while i work :P
I hope the weather permits!
It is exciting to have someone you have feelings for and being loved back..
Gosh, I miss him... cant wait

I am such a sucker for..
Body lotions..
Singapore is already so humid, but will plaster myself with lotsa body lotion.. I will buy all kinds of brand in all different scents.. Dont ask me why..
Grapefruit juice..
I love it.. I just luuuuuuuurrrrrrve it. The sourness at the beginning and the sweetness at the end.. Perfect when it's a hot day and it just quenches your thirst.. So now i am hooked on grapefruit vodka.. Give it to me anytime..
Sparkling stuff..
Be it make up, hair clip, shoes or accessories.. It needs to be sparklie! the more crystal the better! If it's diamond, 'nuff said!
coffee..
I love coffee.. I need coffee... at least three cups of coffee a day.. The best coffee? mcdonalds coffee! It is so bad, it makes me wake up instantly in the morning and last me for a day! how cool is that! But my must have a day? Coffee Bean tea leaves mocha latte...
Sunglasses..
Especially big ass glasses... I have like 8 pairs.. I will never step out without a pair. Just added another $350 Gucci to my collection..
tada...! Isnt it gorgeous?? :))

Alas..
All the diet + jogging i have been doing prior to the trip has gone to waste after 3 weeks in SF.. Total opposite from my last trip, which i lost weight when i was there the other time...
Yah... blame on the person who has been feeding me so well and chauffeur me around.. All the beer for every dinner, and overdose in alcohol every weekend... Thats where the 3kg came from!
Was hooked with Jack in the Box and overdosed with Diet coke with lime.. geesh...
Yes... I am back to my diet where there is absolute no carbo.. and jogging every morning..
aarrgh.......... the agony..... :P

So used to packing i can pack within half an hour.. but seriously, I do not know what is in my luggage... My motto is just buy whatever i forgot to bring lor... :P
This time, it looks as if it will be pretty busy.. 2 weeks is filled with schedules plus the apac work i need to do on top of that... aaarrgghh...
But oh well.. no complaints for free travelling :P
Time flies so fast. I was there two months ago.. seems like i was there just few weeks ago!
As usual, i will miss my cats to death.. I just cant leave without them!
Well take care my friends.. I will be back! Definetely! I would still need to come back to pack up and fly my cats over right? hehe
Will try to update the blog when i hf time. If not, see ya when I am back to sunny spore!

To earn a friend
9 rules to earn a friend - (D. Carnegie) -
1. Don't criticize, condemn, or complain.
2. Give honest, sincere appreciation.
3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.
4. Become genuinely interested in other person.
5. Smile.
6. Remember that a person's name is to that person
the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
7. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
8. Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
9. Make the other person feel important - and do it sincerely.
I have lot of friends and I dont really fall out with friends.
For me, if you are my friend, you are my friend. If you are not, I dont bother with you and I wont even bother to know your name..
When I was in school, had loads of friends and we were those group which other classmates thought we were group of bitches and snobs :P
Always hung out with the cool guys and never ran out of boyfriends and dates haha.. those were the days :)
But as you get older, you become selective of who are your real true friends are..
And you become disapointed when you thought someone was your true friend, and in the end you find out she is not... It hurts, cuz u take friendship seriously as you 'age'.
It is not easy to make true good friends. It takes time to get to know that person and to accept the flaws. Someone who you can trust and tell everyting and you know this person will be there when you need her. You are truly happy when things turn out well for her. You are sad when she is sad.
Ah well.. let bygones be bygones.. I still hav friends who I can trust and call up anytime of the day :)

Kind of answer I would like to give..
When people ask...
"Who is your boyfriend?"
Then I would answer....
"The one I love..."
And they ask
"What does he do?"
Then I would proudly answer...
"Loves me..."
"Who is your boyfriend?"
Then I would answer....
"The one I love..."
And they ask
"What does he do?"
Then I would proudly answer...
"Loves me..."

spring cleaning!
Lunar New year is over and I juz did my spring cleaning..
Just cleared two big trash bag worth of clothes / shoes / soft toys that was collecting dust..
After clearing all that clothes,i realised my cupboard drawer actually can close :P
Really got onto my nerves lately that all my drawers couldnt close anymore, and no more place to hang clothes anymore... gosh..
So i made up my mind, that things must go... So i started digging.. It was simple.. Do i want this? Or not? it was like 1.5 hour worth of sorting out the clothes. And before I could change my mind, I just took the trash bag out.
Have too many tshirts I cant even remember where and when i got it from.. Just too many clothes that i wore only once... impulsive buys.. few years ago clothes that is too yucky and out of style..
So i decided.. Shop more, but clear out the closet once in 5 months.. hehe...

I farkin scalded my arm!
I was makin my morning hazelnut black coffee.... my mornin ritual..
But last nite while i was cleaning my kitchen counter, i must have moved the air pot.. Cuz the steam vent was facing the right side instead of the other side where it should hav been..
So when i reached out behind the air pot with my right arm (cuz i am a right hander) the steam shot up and cooked my arm directly...
Literally cooked...
Damn.... had to rush to GP since it was so painful and it turned purple!
Lucky it wont be scarred.. however, it needs to be bandaged...is painful.. T_T

the bliss of being employeed
Been working like crazy ever since I took on this new job..
I guess that is why i get such a reasonable pay :P
Seriously, nowadays I am getting a bit better, and the flexibility of my working hours and being able to work from home helps.
5am - wake up to catch up with US team to ensure my works are done.
8am - weekly concalls to catch up with the client in US
9-11am - work from home since US knocks off 10am SG time
Reach office about 1pm
1-6pm - catch up with APAC stuff + concalls with APAC + emails + get stuff ready for US to work on
6.30pm- knock off
11pm - weekly concall with acc directors in US/London
12-3am - work with US and brief the work that has to be done
So I calculated, I work about 15-18 hours a day.... hola...
and sleep only 2 hours...
then what do I get...? eye bags..dark circles..and horrible migraine + gastric...
But now, going 3rd month, things are looking up now..
I get to finish my stuff faster and more efficiently without getting US involved so I dont have to work weird hours..
Thank God, the clients are great.. and great colleagues who are there to offer help when i need em :)
My mgr is mad at me and he banned me from sending emails from 7pm - 7am.. haha
I shall try my best.. fingers crossed xxx :))

I am being ironic
Recently I found out that one of e guy i know is having an affair.. He has a wife and a kid..
He was caught with another woman overseas holidaying by another friend... Of cos we are not close to his wife so we r not gonna do anything about it.. Afterall, it is none of our business.
Makes me wonder.. Those who heard about his affair, were saying, well his wife is fat and not pretty so make sense..
Frankly speaking, yes his wife is not attractive. But he is not that attractive either.. He himself is not even close to Jude Law!
Sadly, we live in this world where beautiful things on e outside are appreciated.. Who doesnt like beautiful things?
But why everyone thinks is fair for the guys to stray cuz their spouse or partner is not pretty enough? Why only we woman have to groom ourselves to look pretty for the partner? Are we just an accessory and a throphy to them?
When women stray we don't usually say she strayed cuz the husband has a pot belly.. If the wife strayed, would we say it's bcuz the husband is not attractive enuf?
However that is the reality..
I might be vain and being ironic here, but i do want to look good for my partner. I want my partner to hear that he has a pretty gf. If myself being attractive, boosts my partner's ego, I will put on make up, dress up and wear heels for him..
So maybe deep inside, I do agree with the guys tho i want to deny so bad.. yah.. the wife isnt attractive so he stray... End of kopi tok, nothing to discuss any further.
Sad isnt it..?
He was caught with another woman overseas holidaying by another friend... Of cos we are not close to his wife so we r not gonna do anything about it.. Afterall, it is none of our business.
Makes me wonder.. Those who heard about his affair, were saying, well his wife is fat and not pretty so make sense..
Frankly speaking, yes his wife is not attractive. But he is not that attractive either.. He himself is not even close to Jude Law!
Sadly, we live in this world where beautiful things on e outside are appreciated.. Who doesnt like beautiful things?
But why everyone thinks is fair for the guys to stray cuz their spouse or partner is not pretty enough? Why only we woman have to groom ourselves to look pretty for the partner? Are we just an accessory and a throphy to them?

The freakin weather
I just cant stand this weather.. It is raining and raining and so gloomy..
It is chilly in the night and when i wake up..
Laundry doesnt dry as it should, and my birks slippers get all wet.
That is the reason why, altho i love London, I wouldnt wan to live there.. If i dont see sun, i will be so freakin moody..
Then again, imagining the heat that will conquer soon... I might as well enjoy this without-aircon-nights for a while...

Il mio primo tatuaggio
(title borrowed from Saffyz Dec 21st post)
Oh my gosh... I have done it. And the pain was all worth it..
Cuz of my imaginery pain i had for the past few weeks, the pain was bearable.. It feels like cat scratch which i am so used to..
Seriously, it wasnt that pain afterall... It was all in the imagination. :P
It was the shortest 45mins ever!
The photo doesnt look that great cuz i had to twist my body to take this, but it is gorgeous. I love it. I love it. I looooooooooove it!
As Saffy said, Jap did another fanstastic job - after herself and other two gals!! Whoever wants to get inked, I highly recommend you to Jap. He is a cool dude, sweetest guy :)
I am absolutely loving it!

Raining..
It has been raining cats and dogs ever since I came back from SFO..
xtually it was even before I left..
Whenever it rains, I worry about the stray cats... Though I know they will be fine, hiding under a car or safely sheltered at carparks, where do they find food?
And how about the snails? Tomorrow morning, there will be plenty of squashed snails on the path... Yes, when i spot 'em on the pathways, I will pick em up and put it on the grass...
I feel like i need to go out now to look for stray cats at the basement carpark to feed em and to ensure the snails are safely crossing the path...
Rain Rain.. pls stop..

2006 First Entry
It's 8th day of the New year, and so far, everything seems to be going good..
Except the fact tho i earn more than before, i am broke again with all the shopping I have been indulging.. But worth every cent ;)
Work has been a major headache and stress, sleeping only 3-4 hours a day, seems like I am getting hang of it. Flexi hours help, but cuz of the pressure and stress I have been giving myself for no reason, I cant seem to sleep well. Hopefully it will be better in another few weeks..
Have been losing weight recently due to lost of appetite and dropped all my clothes size. Which gave me another reason to shop for new clothes. Losing appetite might be cuz of stress, and also near new office, there arent much choice for makan like in raffles place used to.. so i chose to starve..
Rain hasnt stopped, seems like it has been raining forever for past two months.. It is so cold at night and east side is a bit worse in a way that it is so windy that i will wake up several times during the night.. cuz of rain and wind hitting on my window.
Have been hanging out with several friends lately. Ex colleagues and ex's friends which has been great fun and relaxing.. I love this kind of kopi-tok meet ups..
Finally have good reason to be glued on TV again which I rarely turned on for past month. Desperate Housewives season 2 is starting as well as American Idol.
Tomorrow I am finally getting inked after few years of dilemma. Found a purrfect gecko design and I am really looking forward to the pain..
Will be travelling again next month which I have one thing to look forward to :)
so 2006 has been good so far..
Hopefully it gets better every day :)
