busy weekend... (obviously I forgot, or was it have not learnt? the word weekend)
anyway... been out.. got my hair cut, dyed it... shaped my brows... and it costs a total of 125!! not bad lah... think it's quite cheap liao.. hehehe...
went to the brauhaus opp suntec city... forgot the name... wahh.. fresh beer... tastes great.. except.. abit steep... for 300ml, or .3litre as they sold it, it's a whooping 11++... the .5 is sold at 14++...
and.. ate at kenny rogers... think.. it doesn't taste as good as I remembered it to be... the cheesy macaroni.. became too "ni4" after the first few mouthfuls. Think I shall not patronise it. Plus, the attitude of the staff there was terrible! wah kaoz... first they v rudely cleared our plates... nvm... then the lady came up to my cousin and said "wai mian hen duo ren..." quite rudely... then my cousin just turned around, and looked and said, "ran hou ne?"
stupid woman.. I agree, there's a huge crowd outside, but isn't that the case in every restaurant on saturday nite? anyway, the only reason you could clear our plates so quickly was cuz we ate v quickly. We could have jolly well taken our own sweet time... so you have no right to chase us off.
Anyways, the lady waitress had golden ah lian hair.. then subsequently, everytime she walked past, she "miao-ed" us... tsk tsk...
then today.. another busy day. went temple.... then home for a nap.. then off to my godma's place for a sumptuous dinner.. yummy! and dessert.. which consisted of chocolate banana cake, and peanut butter pie with icecream.. FAT ah! I tell you....
Need to go on diet...
and tmr... I have to go on a one day course.. GROOMING course! wahahaha...
will write more about it tmr. *pray for me!*

Huh? Where? What?
Amazing.
Woman... an overseas staff told me, after we had helped her log in to the internet using OUR id and it loaded the msn default page, as opposed to normal settings, "how come it is not the company homepage, that's how it's like when we log on back there." I led her to click on the default icon on the desktop.
She needed to do something on the internet. Did not know how to key in an address in the address bar of the internet explorer page. She was clicking and dragging the address bar all over the place, cuz she didn't know what to click. And instead of apologising for her "severe" lack of knowledge... she said
"Oh dear, I must be feeling very tired this morning. My brain is just not working."
*doink* You don't know, say you don't know lah! Why try to look for excuses? And such crap excuse at that? It's so obvious to all of us that you DON'T know what you're doing. stupid angmohs...
Anyway, we asked our inhouse guru.. to help handle the transaction that she was trying to do online... and she was quite inept.. but refused to give up the mouse... and then in the midst of trying to help her.. she spots a friend, stands up... and walks over and starts chatting... ??!!! *hullo? people trying to help you here?!*
our inhouse guru, (is really a very capable, and VERY busy man) just walked away at that point of time, muttering "I have better things to do than that"...
Anyway... Constantine... watched that yesterday. Quite a cool flick. Certain moments in the film stood out more than others, add in some of the really tacky lines and moments of "black crow flying" moments... it was still alright.
I am soo broke. Watched movie, then had to take cab, midnight charge. Woke up late this morning. Took cab again.
ARRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
then tonight.. I am going to watch howl's moving castle. excited... very very excited... hehehe...

My retreat
dun know what they were trying to achieve...
they said it was for us to brainstorm action plan.
I was in the group that didn't really dare to suggest anything, for fear of getting shot. I really don't take ownership for that.. cuz me newbie... mouth don't open so big. (so can see, me also kiasi sort) I used to always open my blady mouth big big, but I have been shot down so many times, or marked that I have decided to shut up wahaha...
but most of the ideas were rejected... and I believe favouritism was being shown to a pretty nubile young high flyer... cuz the big big BIG boss was a male... haha... males are ultimately controlled by their dumbstick. Fact of life, cannot be changed.
Anyway, there were a couple of plans that I tot was good, but it obviously didn't sit well with the big big bosses, and big big big bosses. they preferred the plans that were obvious, clear cut, and which any focus group could come up with, didn't really need the mixture in our division, and all of us to take a day off work to discuss.
Anyway, our topic was HUGE, all encompassing.. and to be fair, one of the most difficult to tackle. But we also lacked unity in the point we were trying to present. (Note: I learn my lesson. Next time, if I really feel that it's going off tangent, and that we were not coming up with a cohesive and sound action plan, I better open my blady mouth and speak up, and not wait until we get shot by bigx3 boss during presentation. Kenna shot liao, then nobody to blame but ourselves.)
that is all I have to say for the retreat. cuz me exshausted from, sitting around and talking whole day. tell me about it.. my knee hurts.. from sitting prim and proper, ie, cross my legs demurely.. me knee got previous injury.. not healthy for it to sit in strenuous positions too long. feel like applying heat pack on it now. ache like mad now..

On colleague's reccomendation...
I am drinking a mango juice. But it's kinda diluted, cuz when you order two cups, the uncle will scrimp on the mango... thus, less "zhap"
anyway...
we were walking back from lunch.. and some trainees were talking to her. Now, I have to add that my colleague is a rather pretty arab.. and it was quite obvious that the malay dude who was talking to her, was kinda like flirting with her. Trying to dig out more details about her... Woah...
so what did i do? Just stand there... haha.. then I walked off.. haha.. cuz I seriously don't know what to do when BOTH guys are flirting with one girl, and ignoring the presence of the other (ie ME) so I just stood around smiling sheepishly.. then slowly backed out and walked away. Cuz... dun know why I shd stand there...
haha.. but its funny. Cuz just yesterday, I was out with two other guy friends, and they were telling me about how I am not like a girl. and that the guys don't treat me like a girl.. wahaha.. sad ahh.. my life...

Random thoughts on a hot Sunday Afternoon
Considering that I only woke up at about 12... it's amazing how many thoughts ran through my head
random thought #1
After going through the peta website, I am wondering if I shd start on a vegetarian campaign... seems v evil to eat animals... Will hold on to that thought for a while longer.
random thought #2
is it even necessary trying to boycott KFC? I stopped since I ran that they killed the chicken cruelly, not using other possible humane reasons. But hey, I just realised that if that's the case, think most fastfood, including macs, according to another friend... but...
random thought #3
craving to try out the new Mac Chicken Foldover. Note, the important word is "try". Cuz I have watched so many adverts on it.. and it really appears yummalicious.. but considering my conflicting views on fastfood... see how lah...
random thought #4
The new song by Tao Zhe, Gui (Ghost), sounds ridiculously like a spin-off from MJ's Ghost. My opinion of him has dropped. I am terribly disappointed. Although, the other songs are alright.
random thought #5
shd i go for a haircut.not that my hair is v long.. hahah... and I wanna go shape my eyebrows, but the lady doesn't work Sundays.... mebbe later in the week... gotta check my schedule .. which is in office. Bah...
random thought #6
watched on tele some japanese island... the wanderlust in me grew so strong, that I actually walked away from the tele... no point hankering after something that I cannot afford, and which cannot be realised within the next 1 to 2 years.
ah well... enough of ramblings.. :P
sunday... is still a v peaceful and non-happening day... and I am meeting my friends for chicken foldover.. haha...
life just got better!

I sat in a BMW Convertible
wahaha...
took a ride with the top down in a BMW convertible... SHIOK!
but.. it was just a very short ride...
but still.. quite fun...
because...
IT'S MY DREAM CAR!!!
ok.. I know, nowadays, I am telling people it's the mini, but that is cuz, it is 1) slightly more affordable, not that I can still afford it. 2) It's probably a lot easier to drive.
What am I doing now?
Watching "With Love" old film...rewatching it to be exact...
ah well...
dun know why.. woke up feeling sian.. anyway.. just stoning in front of the tv, which is actually my favourite weekend activity...
Bah... I think the stress from work seems to be building up... despite my best efforts to relax, and to just take it as work, or to just take it easy...
I feel like, I am being pushed from all areas, especially from the evil boss... she hates me. the more I dwell upon it, the more convinced I am of it.
I could just do my thing... and hope that nothing comes out from it. But now, I feel like I have to be beter than all the rest... so that she can justify her hiring me. But for me, that is very stressful... sigh... since I am quite a loafer... I am not aa high flyer, and yet, I am being forced to be a high flyer...
I feel like I am drowning... "blurp blurp blurp"...
ah well... happier things.. I am seriously considering going for a hair cut.. haha... that shd perk me up...

I am a happy woman...
why? you may ask?
Let me tell you. (and no, you cannot say, you are not wondering why, cuz I am going to tell you anyway...)
I am munching on pineapple tarts for breakfast. And I am v happy.
Things I noticed this morning on my way to work, before I fell totally asleep on the bus.
1) there is this stray that I have noticed for the longest time. He's sooo cute. He used to run around with his sister, but I don't see her around anymore. I hope it just means that she has ventured somewhere else, and not that anything bad has happened. Back to the stray dog, I wish I can bring him home. He's so perky, and he's still rather young, definitely less than 6 months, and he's so "genki" my sapphi would go crazy having him as a playmate, not to mention the fact that my home would be ruined.
2) There was this weird woman. Dressed quite trendily, very taiwanese fashion, loose top blouse, off shoulder kind. Now, my home is near a guan yin temple, so today being some special day, there were a lot of devotees who were there bright and early. Thus, at the bus stop, there were a lot of "ahmahs". The bus came (after a very long wait, may I add) and this weird woman squeezed her way to be the first to board, no mean feat, considering that ahmahs are very good at squeezing to board first.
Then her bag got stuck at the dividing railing. So she held up the queue of people going up the bus. She was not frantic or anything, but quite nonchalant. Anyway, I boarded the bus, then stopped again, cuz weird lady wanted to sit on the "inside" of a bus seat, and was waiting for the other lady to move and allow her to shift in. Despite there being other "open" seats around.
Nevermind. mebbe that's her favourite seat or something.
Then I noticed.. two bus stops later, she alights. What the...???
Got problem ah auntie! People who intend to get off two busstops later,
1) don't need to squeeze up the bus to quickly board the bus, so that she can get a seat, cuz, you're abt to get off soon anyway.
2) Why sit on the inside of a seat? and make the other passenger shift in and out, so that you can sit on the inside, only to alight two stops later?
this auntie is SIAO....
Anyway, then I switched bus, and fell asleep... so no more stories.
Oh.. and yes, I can barely lift up my right arm today. Ache like mad...

Suicidal
I suspect I have suicidal tendencies...
after months years of inactivity...
I played tennis yesterday. Despite the fact that the BEST rally we got was like 8 continuous strokes... I believe the running around attempting to hit the shots... plus a lot of walking around to pick up those yellow balls...
Do I fear death? I stare at death in the eye and say... "Bugger off!" And in defiance of death...
We booked... a badminton court. So today.. aching muscles and all... I am going to play badminton...
and I am actually... GLAD...

5) That guy in "Love Contract" (Taiwanese Drama)
6) Songjuu Opa (some korean dude from drama "stairway to heavem")
7) Song Cheng Xian (some korean dude from "Mr Cool Guy")
(aside: this naming of cute guys is making me feel more awake! wahahah)
8) Maroon 5's lead singer... also dun know his name
9) Yutaka Takenouchi (except he's prob gay)

I am a Buddhist. STOP trying to preach to/convert me!!! >.<
That's right...
my usual lunch kakis were not around. So I lunched with 3 other more senior staff. Having said that, it was awkward, since obviously I shd shut up and go with the flow, since they're more senior, which means I shd say less crap.
BUT... somehow they started talking about religion... and... omifuckinggod... they started preaching to me. actually, only one preach, the other two just chatted on their own topics. ZZZZZZ....
Eh.. I am happy with my Buddhism.. and you can be happy with your Christianity/Catholicsm... we're all human beings here.. so I have no qualms about befriending and can be good friends even. But some respect is necessary here.
I have already stated that I am a Buddhist. WHY ARE YOU STILL TRYING TO CONVERT ME??? Is my religion any lower than yours?
Unfortunately, despite my best effort to put on my listening face, I am sure I failed. Cuz I have a an open book face. Cannot hide my emotions.
Speaking of which, my boss must have realised that I freaked out during the discussion this morning. She caught me offguard on two counts.
1) I had yet to finish some online elearning modules that I was supposed to run through, but actually that was cuz it was sooo boring. My fingers itch to revamp it...
2) My work progress, I tried to state what I was doing, but I floundered, cuz even I felt that I had done seemingly v little. But then I realised, kaoz... I only came back to office on the 1st feb, (before that was an entire month of orientation) and between that and today, the 14th, there was 2.5 days of holiday, which leaves me with like 6.5 working days. But I freaked out, and didn't realise that, and I think she must have felt that I was doing nothing. Which is NOT true... by the way, I am really good at multitasking, before you even ask me what I am doing currently...
Bah... Life's like that.. move on... next better batter!!!

CNY celebration almost over
Haha...
okok.. my good mood... has been revived..
and sheepz... thanks for the sms.. hahaha... But actually not in the habit of reading "self help" books, at most, only those finance ones that my sister shove at me. And that is cuz I am terrible at money management. But thanks. :) I believein the theory of "____ help those who help themselves." (don't believe in god, so left it blank, but you know what i mean lah)... I feel that if you read the book and don't practice it, it is still useless, so the whole point still boils down to, do you want to help yourself. But I was still touched that you bothered to sms me. hehe.. THANKS ZU!! :D
Anyway, to continue the story of my CNY Adventures
Friday: Got home, had sumptuous dinner with my family and bro's friend.. almost like family friend liao, and his gf (she model... v chio, but he also v handsome... he plays the guitar and sings at some hotel, and he looks the part too) which brings me to the highlight of the post dinner conversation after bro's friend and his gf had left.
Godsis: I think we can enter J and J's gf to a best looking couple contest.
Dajie: Like that then can enter Chaos and K too! (my bro and his gf (she also does some part time modelling btw, and my bro is also quite alright looking)
Me: hmm... like that then I think J and his gf will win, cuz they're more "sey" (translation: more stylish)
Dajie: Yah... and if Chaos and K loses, it is cuz Chaos is not "sey" enough.
Me: True.. but it also depends on what the judges are looking for, if conventional good looks are what they're looking for, then Chaos would win.
Anyway... this entire conversation is obviously not going anyway... just felt that... how come members of my family are always more "tut" than others huh? Even when, Chaos, is already the most "sey" member in the family. bugger...
Then I went out and hanged out (actually hanged out is such a cliche term.. very "poser-ish" and sounds like I am trying to impress upon you guys that I am v cool... which as I have already defined from the conversation excerpt above, I am not... which puts me in a dilemma, since in the internet world, I can be who I am not, if I choose to be) with my friends at Conrads. Now, this friend, who obviously works with a huge rich co.. is the one who always helps to sneak (K, it's not really sneak, but it sounds cooler that way) me into it. So with her help, I have snuck into Hyatt, Inter-contindental, and Conrads. All 5-stars I think.. Not bad I say... and MLSA, if you're reading this... if I was given slightly more time, I would have given you a record on bejewelled to chew at! wahahaha
Satuday: lots came to my place on sats... so many, and we did so much the whole day... that it's impossible to list. But I think everyone had a good time, so it was a successful gathering.
and by the end... the few who were drinking had downed Nearing two bottles of chivas, and one bottle of cordon blue. Expensive stuff.. and they were puking... (_._||) guess who's turn it was to clean the toilet... It had to be....
YOURS TRULY!!!!
(think: brown, black and greenish floating pieces on the floor, behind the toilet bowl, near the sink..., k lah, it is not as bad as I am putting it, but I have a flair for the melodramatic, indulge me...)
I end on this note now, cuz I gotta work tmr... and I am considering pretending to wake up to go to the gym before going to work tmr. We'll see.. if I succeed, I will blog about it the moment I am in office. and If I don't, well, we'll have to see how busy I am at work... But I will probably still blog.. cuz that's me. Boliao with a capital B!!

11 February 2005
I have decided
at a weird timing of 3.53pm...
I have decided... that I lack self confidence.
I will be confident.
I will not allow
1) People who make snide remarks about my lack of filial piety get me down. Cuz I know they're not true.
2) People who give me the cold shoulder, or who "fu yan" me to get me down.
3) People who give me one look, and tell me annually that I have put on weight. Even though I know I look exactly the same, and weigh the same. (which is not that good a thing actually)
My issues with my family is MY/OUR business. We can't solve it, neither can you. so shut up.
My insecurities with my weight and height are also my own. Stop harping on it. so you're slim and but I am pretty... i can slim down, but plastic surgery wouldn't save you even if the world depended on it.
I will also cease
1) Making depreciating comments about myself. More than half the time, the criticisms I get are self-invited.
2) to allow my evil relatives to push me around. I have fangs, and I will not hesitate to bite. Who the fuck cares about what you think? (and even if I don't have fangs, I will set my dogs and cats on you.)
3) I will not attend anymore gatherings if it means you have to fu yan me. There're people who are more important to me that I would rather spend time with. Without which, quality time with my dog would be infinitely more enjoyable.
I AM CONFIDENT!! I AM ON TOP OF THIS WORLD!!! NOBODY CAN GET ME DOWN!!!
THOSE WHO TRY TO...
CAN KISS MY ASS!!!
wahahaha.. end of transmission. writer has gone into state of spasm, is frothing at the mouth, while trying to describe her condition in writing...
*froth froth* *jerk jerk* *spasm spasm*

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!
Wahaha...
Decided that since I am feeling so crappy to have to come back on the 3rd day of the lunar new year, and the fact that I am so "green" at this job, that I don't dare to go on leave... I have decided to celebrate the fact that...
IT'S FRIDAY!!!!
wahaha... Ah Q mentality at work again.
Chinese New Year thus far, has been good and bad. Have decided to describe by chronological order.
CNY eve eve
Had a fantastic reunion dinner with mum. The steamboat was.. mama mia... deeelicious!!! I LOVE YOU MUM!!! Then, there was the gin rummy (where I lost $90!!!). My mum even asked me, "eh, did you lose to me on purpose..." I'm like "... ma, I can just give you the $90, I don't have to lose it to you at the gambling table." Wahaha...
CNY eve
Then on CNY eve, had reunion dinner with dad. That one was, a bit crap. I do miss my dad a bit, and my heart feels a bit sourish, cuz I haven't seen him much, since around June 04, cuz I was so pissed that he stopped all alimony (not that it is legal, but don't think he cares) for my mum and bro. And our finances back then, and even now, are not exactly rosy, his pittance would have helped.
Was also pissed cuz we had reunion with two other family. My dad's sisters, at 2nd aunt's place. Sigh... feel like hanger-ons. I think coming year, I will devise some plan, so that we can have reunion dinner with my dad, WITHOUT those sisters of his. All those snide remarks, the looks, can spoil the appetite of a pig, yes, even one like me...
CNY - 1st day
Went temple, met up with mum's side of relatives. Arranged to go karaoke late that night. Then had to leave my poor mum alone at home, and we went to my 3rd Aunt's place, (dad is living with them)... Can't really say that I had a crappy time, but it was different, awkward... uncomfortable. Add: Snide remarks, looks, and generally, we were discWas so glad when it was finally time to go meet my other "side" for ktv. That was fun. First time I sang till 4am. I am disgusted with myself. But hey, I am still always on for karaoke! Wahaha...
Aside: Why is it that some people seem to look down on people who go for karaoke? I mean, they actually seemed shocked when I said I was leaving to go sing karaoke? too "chee-na" isit? You freaking "cao ang moh wannabe"... I know, you can sing damn well, and that you compose and write your own "ang-moh" songs, and that you win competitions, BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL! KISS MY ASS!!!! I am v chee-na, I like to go sing CHINESE songs at karaoke joints, SOOOOO???? Bite me arh!
CNY - 2nd day
Woke up late, played more gin and 4-cards with mum. Wanted to stay home, but my lil' bro wanted to go my 2nd aunt's house, cuz he loves gambling. So I went along, cuz I didn't want him going alone. (don't trust my evil aunts) My other 2 siblings had arrangements to go visiting with friends.
Felt CRAP! FUCK, and my poor mum admitted to me when we got back, that we have to come up with better arrangements. She felt too lonely and sad when she could hear our neighbours celebrating, reunion night, 1st and 2nd, and she was all alone at home. ARGGHHHHH!!!!! I shd have just stayed home.
CNY - 3rd day
Back in office, still feeling crappy, and lousy. For myself and for my mum. Trying to psyche myself up, cuz I know, CNY cannot feel this way.
and so... I AM GLAD THAT IT IS FRIDAY!!! The weekends are upon us!!!

Movie Marathon
It was not planned.. but I sure watched a heck of a lot of movies this weekend. Partially due to the fact that I was sorta like "sick"... and so other than a saturday morning project meeting, was home entire weekend.
1) Wimbledon: Yes, I like romance comedies...
2) The Terminal: Quite cool, a bit sad, and stupid, but alright.
3) Shark's Tale: Stupid. Ugly and stupid.
4) Jiang Hu: the one with andy lau, jacky cheung, edison chen and yu wen le (what is his angmoh name?) cool movie... quite good, could be better.. but still... not bad)
add kenshin in between that cuz I would play that and just walk around the house.. or mope around the house seems like a better term.
Overate.. on Sunday.. cuz, bro's bday. LOADS of food.

Looking like a...
PREGNANT COW!!! OMIFUCKINGGOD!!!
I look like a freaking, bloated, overweight pregnant cow! It doesn't help that I am already shorter than most people... it doesn't help that I am overweight... that I look the part!!! zzz...
I need to go on cambridge diet, or undergo liposuction, or join fucking marie france/expressions/______ (insert any diet/slimming agency, that promises everything, and probably delivers nothing.)
I swear that I will only eat soupy things for lunch from now on. Even if I have to fucking puke from eating too many soupy things.. damn.. I am feeling damn bad. Amazing what a photo can do...And I am fucking photogenic one ok!!!
It is damn bloody unfair... I am short, but I am not small boned... and this rant was brought about after having viewed group photos taken with my orientation group... sigh.. thinking about it makes me feel worse. And no, I am not going to post it up. Cuz i look like fucking shit...
Ahh... and why the rant? Why... don't you know? It's nearing Chinese New Year, you have to get rid of all your negative energy before the start of the New Year...
Wahahaha.... Ohmmm......

statistics
Started this blog on the 5 June'04. and since, today's 5th March... (Yes, I know it states 6th.. but heck lah. 1230am... i still consider it as Saturday)
I shall celebrate the fact that I have 3945 hits on my blog!!! :D
5 June to 5 March = 9 months.
therefore... I average... 388.333333333 hits per month... that's about 10/12 hits per day. Wahaha... not bad lah...
anyway... isit hormones? Possibly... feeling short tempered these days.. and I'm falling sick... I feel like...
Some People, that I am not very close to, they're just making use of me... I know.. humans make use of each other all the time, some term it as interaction.
But... I am always v sincere about offering my friendship. BUT... I feel that some other more unscrupulous people, know that I bother to try and keep in contact with friends, then they just make use of me to 1) keep in touch with other people. 2) Only bother to contact me when they need favours. 3) ask me for someone else's contacts.
I get damn sian... of course, I do that sometimes, but not that frequently.. cuz I BOTHER, to try and stay in contact. If I don't, it means mebbe you're not that close to me... acquaintance level.
what am i crapping at anyway? I also don't know... just feel like... people are always assessing me, to see how best to make use of me... why can't everyone just be friends, purely and sincerely. No agenda behind?
I feel tired... and if you're tired, and you answer a little too grouchily, someone takes offense. In fact... even the simple fact that I finally dug out my nokia handset headphones, which means I am plugged into the radio by the time I get out from the lift to go to work, and I accidentally, forgot to greet the security guard, and I didn't hear him... I managed to offend him. He thinks I am being "proud"... and he actually told me so in the face. Sighh... what... cannot even listen to radio now? even a simple greeting in the morning, can cause me stress. And when I come home tired at night... I must also remember to smile, and greet, else I will be deemed as being "proud" again. I am not proud lah... I am just tired... Can smile, but sometimes, too tired to stand around the guardhouse and chat... I just want to crash into bed sometimes.. gimme a break...

I need some advice... really...
Ask you all huh.. and you must reply! Esp if you've been reading my blog. Your friend here is in need of advice.
As you all know, I am a worry wart... and I tend to overcomplicate, overthink and essentially hyperventilate on things that are rather miniscule to others.
My lady boss, her being the one who
1) Hired me;
2) Appraises me; and
3) Whom I have to work for and with...
seems to always be making snide remarks, most of which I just smile/laugh off... but the truth is, being the defensive person that I am, I actually want to explain or rebutt her comments. Which I do sometimes, then she will have a look of irritation on her face. For eg., just so you have a feel of her personality, and my stupidity
Scenario One
Walks past me while I am waiting for colleague for lunch.
Boss: Hey, wanna lunch?
Me: Oh, I am waiting for XX.
Boss: Hey, you need to wear higher heels. Your pants are too long.
Me: Haha.. no way, I can't balance in them.
Boss: Then you have to tailor it.
Me: Already tailored. Besides I like them slightly longer and to wear them at the hips, it's more "in".
Boss gives me look of exasperation.
Scenario Two
Standing around, some celebration of colleague's bday.
Boss: (looking at colleague X) You people seem to like to have your pants too long these days.
Me: Yah, it's a bit more fashionable, plus, your pants doesn't ride up when you cross your leg.
Boss gives me look of exasperation.
Subsequently, informed by colleague X that both herself and I have been signed up for grooming lessons. (-.-||)
Scenario Three
This is a meeting with a consultant, and I have no idea why, but we started discussing the Masters course that I am taking.
Consultant: Oh, by the time we're done with the project here, you can use that as your dissertation.
Me: Haha, that's ok, I have opted for the coursework route.
Consultant: Oh ok...
Boss: Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean coursework?
Me: Oh, it simply means that I take more modules instead of doing a final dissertation to graduate from the course. It's easier, and requires less committment from me.
Boss: Oh, my rating of you has just gone down. (I swear, she said exactly that...)
Me: Haha...
Now... I need your advice. What I really wanted to say at that point of time was, "I opted for that because between work and school, I have chosen to focus more on work, cuz obviously, you guys are the ones paying me." But, then I cannot possibly say that, not when the consultant was there... and even if the consultant wasn't there, I have to learn to stop rebutting my boss.
Right or wrong decision? What would you advice me to have done?
As you all know, I am a worry wart... and I tend to overcomplicate, overthink and essentially hyperventilate on things that are rather miniscule to others.

1) Hired me;

seems to always be making snide remarks, most of which I just smile/laugh off... but the truth is, being the defensive person that I am, I actually want to explain or rebutt her comments. Which I do sometimes, then she will have a look of irritation on her face. For eg., just so you have a feel of her personality, and my stupidity
Scenario One
Walks past me while I am waiting for colleague for lunch.
Boss: Hey, wanna lunch?
Me: Oh, I am waiting for XX.
Boss: Hey, you need to wear higher heels. Your pants are too long.
Me: Haha.. no way, I can't balance in them.
Boss: Then you have to tailor it.
Me: Already tailored. Besides I like them slightly longer and to wear them at the hips, it's more "in".
Boss gives me look of exasperation.
Scenario Two
Standing around, some celebration of colleague's bday.
Boss: (looking at colleague X) You people seem to like to have your pants too long these days.
Me: Yah, it's a bit more fashionable, plus, your pants doesn't ride up when you cross your leg.
Boss gives me look of exasperation.
Subsequently, informed by colleague X that both herself and I have been signed up for grooming lessons. (-.-||)
Scenario Three
This is a meeting with a consultant, and I have no idea why, but we started discussing the Masters course that I am taking.
Consultant: Oh, by the time we're done with the project here, you can use that as your dissertation.
Me: Haha, that's ok, I have opted for the coursework route.
Consultant: Oh ok...
Boss: Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean coursework?
Me: Oh, it simply means that I take more modules instead of doing a final dissertation to graduate from the course. It's easier, and requires less committment from me.
Boss: Oh, my rating of you has just gone down. (I swear, she said exactly that...)
Me: Haha...
Now... I need your advice. What I really wanted to say at that point of time was, "I opted for that because between work and school, I have chosen to focus more on work, cuz obviously, you guys are the ones paying me." But, then I cannot possibly say that, not when the consultant was there... and even if the consultant wasn't there, I have to learn to stop rebutting my boss.
Right or wrong decision? What would you advice me to have done?

Aside
I was on the bus... I looked up...
Man in balcony
wearing white singlet and tight briefs... undies...
He was extremely well-endowed...
I wonder if he realised that he can be seen along the entire street, and by the bus...
He was.. I think.. watering the plants.
I wonder... if it's the morning hard-on that guys get?? Why then, did he not go pee first?

thought provoking quote
Thought for the day:
There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research.This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.
==============================================================================
there ya go... nonsensical, but thought provoking stuff for you.
Sleepeeee...
Thought for my day... today.
I must learn to sprout less nonsense. If I don't have anything to say, then don't talk.
yahhhh..... righhtttt....
sleepy. after lunch syndrome setting in... zzzzzz.... help... i'm drowning... *blurp blurp*

chaos in the house
Who are the stars of this blog?
Mother: My mum is one pissed mum.
Small dog aka ger ger: Small cross breed who is toilet trained, ie. knows how to shit and pee on newspaper.
Big dog aka sapphi: GSD who is toilet trained, ie. knows that she's supposed to shit and pee outside on her nightly walks.
Fat cat aka tiger: Fat cat who is toilet trained, ie. knows how to shit and pee in his litter box.
So.. what's the problem? Plenty... (do not read on if you get grossed out easily)
Problem #1
ger is toilet trained, but being an old lady, she frequently mis-aims. Which is still acceptable, as shit and pee are also relative to size of dog, so easy enough to clear up after her.
Problem #2
saph is trained to shit and pee outside the house. But of late, whether out of jealousy, or if she's confused by the double standards (since we allow ger to pee and shit in the house), she has taken to peeing and shitting in the house. Which poses BIG problems. since... it's ... a lot... of pee and shit.. poor mum cleans up, since she's the only one at home in the day.
Problem #3
Tiger, where's the problem you asked? Cats are known to be clean... right? Right. They are. But dogs are not. And for some perculiar and disgusting reason, both my dogs, are fighting to eat his shit! alright, I can hear the gagging sound now. Imagine, litter box contains... litter sand. Sand is.. bingo.. messy! When dogs try to eat (and fight over, mind you) the shit, sand gets strewn all over the house. = very very very angry mum.
Alright. I need solutions people...
