Fact or Myth?
Is it true that one cannot eat watermelon while walking on the roadside?

Lunchtime today, i bought a watermelon and was eating it while walking back to the office when i met one of my colleague, who was middle-age.She stopped me in my track and reprimanded me for eating the watermelon by the roadside.

????? *scratch head*

Puzzled and with my mouth full, i asked her what's her problem was, and if she's having her PMS. Coz if she's having her PMS, she could always go ranting to the wall, I'm not the target board. And my face didn't read, "Shoot me" So piss off.

Sensing my offence, she reduce her pitch to normal, but still lecturing me.
Auntie: "I'm doing it for your own good" (All aunties like to start conversation this way, i wonder why...) Do you know that watermelon trap dust? So if you eat watermelon while walking by the road, all the dust spurred up by the car would be trap in your watermelon, and you, in turn, would be eating the dust."



I swallowed hard.

I'm pretty sure, my watermelon suddenly turn dryer, like having a saw-dust feel in my mouth.

Me: "No lah, it's old wife's tale lah. Not scientifically proven one."


This set off another round of blarring from The Wise One, so i just get a silly excuse and rocket off.

Fact or Myth?

Anyway, KL is just a disappointment.
Not only is the things not-so-cheap, some are even more expensive than sg! In the end, i only got myself a pair of shoe from Vinnci, a purse for my Mummy dear, and a T-shirt for my brother. Actually, i got myself another pair of shades (cannot resist!!) It fit my face PERFECTLY. Even hubby commented it look VERY nice.

Then on the 2nd day, Hubby wore it and it broke!!

He's so big-headed i want to whack it like a tennis ball!!!!! (ok, pls don't think crooked)
PAY ME BACK MY SHADE!!!! I WANT MY SHADE!!!

Boy, i'm so upset i want to kick everybody in the balls!!!


Enough of ranting, Some snap shot of the drive up KL. A bloody nerve-wrecking drive -- 5.5hrs!!

We have the energetic bunch, who hoola all the way to KL:



And we have the hibernating bunch, who's on snooze mode all the way:



That'll be all. I know, too little pics. But you see, from the moment i alighted this coach, i'm too busy to take pictures.

Work mode.
Suck big time!

Now, looking forward to Bangkok again in April!! I love my company!!

Time Produce.
Time is a strange thing. It wash away feelings, emotions, experience or even death...

But time also makes things. Like love, care, relationship. Alot of us might realised, as times goes, you get use to some things, attached to some things, form a routine and drown in the comfort of it. It makes you feel safe, bcoz u know what lies ahead at the corner of the road. No surprises or unexpected.

It makes, it takes. Fair enough.

Alot of time, people act emotionally. Over time, emotions faded, and one can look back the situation rationally, emotion-free. To only realise, it's not such a big thing afterall. So what's the fuss about?

I lost a friend this way during my school days. Emotion-rich, we part.

It's sad. But I guess it's part & parcel of life.

Got to know that my close friend regain singlehood freedom yesterday. Feel bad for her, but she seems to see it coming. I guess when a man's heart is not with you, one can feel it as plainly as an empty glass. For it is, technically, an empty glass, empty of love.

Well, all i can say is, let time wash away your sadness, there will be better fish in the sea. If it's not meant to be, holding on will only hold back the meeting with the right one.

Be strong girl.. Many friends still care for you. *hug*

This a pretty long entry, did not plan to write this long. In fact, been having the block a few days now. Who knows everything pours out the moment i started to type. :)

Well, as parting shot before i set out for Kuala Lumpur tomorrow (Work, work & more work! MUST squeeze in shopping), share some pics with you guys.


Company function -- Flying Start with Taufik & FD.



Some picture of pets, Yoyo & Oreo


And a pic of me taken by Fiona.

So, Ciao people. Shall talk about KL on Monday!

Bimbotic Post
I got my hands on the little black thing from BYSI. Finally.

After an internal struggle for 2 days. Rational lose to vainity. The hell with budget, if i don't get it, i'm sure my mind will be eaten away... Piece by piece... Day by day... My mind will mercilessly nag at me that the little black thing is still waiting for me at the boutique. Eagerly, anticipatly... and at the same time, worried that someone beside me will take it back against its will.

IT WANT TO BE MINE.. ME & ONLY...

It's such a pity no one can share this amazing feeling.

If I shared this feeling with hubby, I'm sure all i get was a:

"Siao" Duh.

Men, they can NEVER appreciate ART. Humph!

Mood Swing
It's amazing how fast emotion change.. One moment, you were glad to be alive, dancing under the sunshine and breath in plenty of fresh air. The next moment, you felt like bashing the face of the thick-make up aunty dozing beside you on the train...

Punching bag, anyone?

I Command You to ENVY me!
Muahaha! I saw Taufik Batisah, heard him sing Live. Yeah, no doubt a Singapore Idol, his voice is just sooo powerful. It's still ringing in my ears, 8hrs later. But i do find him on a weeny bit thin size though. I prefer flashier & shapier man *blush*

He attended my company's first event in 2005 -- Flying Start, Pru Sales Idol

Pity i didn't bring along my D.cam, and i'm sitting too far back to take pics with my N6260. Humph!
Anyway, the two cars (chevelet & Jaguar) that was given out by company to the staffs had gone to 2 women (what happen to all the men? Not working?) And guess what, the woman who won the Jaguar had no driving license!!!!

I want to stand on top of a mountain and scream:

LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!!!!!

No wonder she was so calm when the result was revealed. No screaming & jumping in joy, no hugges, she just stand there smiling....

*Kick-ass*

If I would her, i would get my drivy in the shortest time possible, then sell the Jaguar, and bought a Volks Wagon Beetle (my dream car *drool*) And still had some money left!

Why? Why wasn't it ME?

If Mood is Affected by Weather
Then i will be a mood chameleon in Singapore. For all who have come to Singapore before, you will know how Singapore weather change.

One minute it's in sunshine, making sweat like a pig; the next moment, it's raining cats & dogs!

That's why most Singaporeans have this problem with headache, the constant changing of weather plus temperature (in the sun --> Air-con room ; Air-con room--> in the sun), thus make us unable to have sex (think "No honey, i have a headache" reason), which lead to a windling birth rates. Pretty soon, our streets will be full of aged people.

Digress digress digress...

Back!
Why am i on this topic?
A conversation with a colleague went like this

colleague: How's Linda in States?
(Linda is my close colleague, went to Sa Francisco to visit her depression sister)

Me: Well, she very homesick, been calling me twice a day, on top of SMSes.

colleague: Poor thing, saw on the news that the weather there very jia lat. She must feel very terrible...

Me: She just complain that she still feel herself freezing after throwing on 3 top, 2 bottom with socks

Colleague: I confirm she's feeling terrible. In fact, everyone feels terrible with terrible weather. Had experience winter before, the whole town was feeling so dull & down...

Me: .....

Duh! How can a person feel down just because the weather sux?
I'll feel bad on weather only because it stop me from going shopping! Everyone knows bad weather is a self-explainary excuse for hiding in the bed whole day!!

Jay, if you're reading this, is it true that mood change with weather? You stay in London, where it's cold, share with me what you think!

Empress Orchid
Had my eyes set on this book when I visited Times @ plaza Singapura. Cool, it's been a long time since a book off the shelf caught my attention to this extent.

It's about a girl who enrolled herself into the imperial concubine selection to escape her arranged marriage to the ugly & short cousin. And boy, she was lucky and got selected as a low-end concubine. Amidst thousands & thousands of beauties in the forbidden city, they had to fight feet & claws just to see the emperor, and seduced him in spending the night. Hopefully, God would show kindness by giving her a baby boy, and blessed him away from many harm that lies in the way.

The girl in the book taught herself the art of bed, and managed to get the Emperor to fall for her. Little did she expect that the dynasty was falling, and she became the last empress in history.


Quite cool hor?
Wait.. Wait... Be patient and wait for me at Times, once my paycheck comes, i promise i'll go fetch you home...

Yeah! I'm on Half day leave today!!!
Before i leave for my long weekend, shall leave some footprints here...

Read from Smellie Mellie's blog about the Habbo Hotel. Its ad have been running on TV for quite some time now, and it had caught my attention more than one time. At first i thought it was some PC games, turn out to be an online community game, those you could meet friends (so call).


Hello, inventor, u think there's not enough cyber victims ah?
Those young, naive kids who fall to cyber-predators, and kana, cheated, conned (ok, that's the same thing, but.) or worse... RAPE. Or lagi worst! Gang rape!!

You are the root of problems!!!


Okay, where was i?
Oh! Habbo Hotel, Actually i think it's just a(nother) money-making machine. You mst buy Habbo coins to buy furniture for your room, then can held parties. You need Habbo coins to play games (eg. Diving) then, the coins needs to be purchase with REAL money. Credit card acceptable. Something smell fishy here...

Seriously, it does not appeal to me...

Some more it's so far away (US, Canada and UK), if there's a Sinagpore version, it's another story. Ok, we shall wait & see..

Holiday --> Work = Sorrow
Have not been to the office for these 2days, attending company training for the S'pore MAS rules & regulation at Payar Lebar. Now it's over, nightmare has just begin...

I'm going for the training exam set by MAS on Monday/Tuesday! Can you believe it, and i thought it's JUST training! Pui!!

Well, the whole thing is so dry that i drown myself 2 bottles of water per class, just to keep myself from nodding off. And it's been so long since I last taken notes, so all the shorthands have been forgotten. It's not helping, that the trainer teach at the speed of light. One moment she's at page 75, the next thing you know, it's page 100+!!

So it's like...
People (She like to call us that), pls look at pg 75, highlight the blah blah blah, *gulp* (I raise my head to drink some water)...
*
*
*
When i get my head down....
Now, on pg 105, there's a paragraph which is very tricky....

?!

Did I just faint or what?! *Panic*

Initially i thought she jumped the missing page, only to realise that the messy hair (Whenever she can' catch up, she'd scratch & tug her hair) girl sitting beside me had highlighted the MIA pages. WIERD!

Anyway, i get her to trade info with me by telling her her hair is damn messy... :D


Sigh! Thank goodness it's only 2 days. Now, i'll just burn the whole book, then mix the ashes with water, and drink it ALL down.
I'm quite sure i'll pass the test with flying colors. ^__^

Now now, don't think i'll burn up my weekend just for this silly test. No way!!

Hello 2005!
I think i'm stepping out with the wrong foot. It's all wrong. I wish i could set off again...

1) Career wise, things are not that sunny... There's been some changes within the company. Where do i stand? Am i really like what a colleague had said, been take advantage for? I don't think so, but if based on the reason i'm given, it make sense.. But my boss is nice, i don't wanna think so.

2) Next year will be very focus on moving new people, and getting more recruits. Stress...
I'm one who dun like to be too focus on one area, i think it's BORING. I like variety...
Haiz! My job sounds like work now...

3) Seriously, i don't know what my future hold... Things don't look bright, but they are not dark either!

I don't know what to think.... *sob*

Let's just pray that everything would staighten out.
But i must say, a short conversation with the colleague affect me more than i want to admit.
