Rush Hour..

Everyday I'm rushing here and there..and it seems like there's never ending stuff to complete when I mention work, to the extend of working from home after knocking off..After working in the corporate world for a couple of yrs, I really find the biz world far too complex to handle. One must always be vilgilent to the surrounding happenings..Office politics is something that is unavoidable when esp working in big companies..Everyone is trying their very best to prove and upsell their capabilitities to prove ??? (for your imagination). I can't imagine when I go for a wk's break and I should expect my inbox to be exploded when I come back..so is it still worth to take a break? Perhaps it is worth a second thought..
Due to this stressful lifestyle which I'm currently leading, I minge and binge unnecessarily..I ate like there's no tomorrow..eat late then sleep, no exercise..immunity weaker..last but not least, resulting in a very cruel consequence which I've gotta bear, that is the excessive meat and fats grown tremendously without my knowledge..I know I got many excuses to defend myself..long story cut short, I'm just FAT! My receptionist from the other end where we seldom meet as I dun go in to office using main door, commented that I looked so different and has put on quite a fair bit of weight..gosh, as usual, I just say "ya lor" and smiled..
Naturally, when someone commented that I'm fat, I'll msg dear and let him know that it's partly his fault for bringing me to alot of places for good food..you must have thought that he'll give a common reply like, "ok what, you look fine and no worries and stuff..But this time round, I was really touched and caught by surprise by his reply when I told him about the comment my receptionist made..His reply is "Darling, u must have confidence in yourself and me. Dun worry, we'll excerise more ok? I'll make sure ya look slim and sexy and fit ok? U'll be the prettiest bride.."haha..it may seemed to be nothing special but it just made me feel good when I received the reply and cant stop me from grining ear to ear..hee..

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..

It's been quite a while since my last entry. The tragedy that has taken away the lives of the young men a few weeks ago has alerted all of us that we should not take things for granted. I also warned deardear to be careful esp when he has to represent his stat board for dragon boat competition.
Year end is approaching..Mixed feelings though..I'll be setting off to Bangkok with my sales team on the 19th..Looking forward..hee*winks* and approx 2 wks later, will be setting off to Gold Coast..lalalalala...I need all the rest now as I can foresee 2008 will be a very tough and tedious year..Xmas celebration on the xmas eve will be atNgee Ann Alumuni *Hoala Pub*(dunno how to spell) with my approx 20 sec frens..really blessed to have them..We celebrate each yr together without fail which indirectly has brought me and dear together many yrs back..Family xmas celebration will be on the 22nd at downtown east..will only get to join them after I touch down from the airport which will be approx 1am. Dear's family xmas celebration is a week earlier on the 15th, oso at the chalet..seems like a popular place for celebration..Oh No, I've not done any xmas shopping! sob sob..I like the xmas lightings for this yr, must find a day to take some pictures..
My buddy brother has proposed to his gf..Congrats to him! Happy for the both of them as they will be planning for their ROM next yr..*I must start losing weight so I can look good* hee..
Think majority of my sec friends will be getting married around the same time..Dear says that he's planning for our marriage in yr 2010 (*hopefully if nothing goes wrong*) when we're both at 27,if not I'll be getting old and fat then have to spend more $$ to look better..sigh..*SHIT*
At the rate I'm munching and eating habits, how to slim down?

Balance between work and leisure

Seriously, I think I'm just someone who can't priortise. Everything is urgent and urgent to me means important and requires immediate response. Perhaps to many, they might have made a comment like no one is indispensable. How true is this phrase and how untrue this can be as well. This has always been the case, easier said than done. One scenario is that I applied leave on Friday, emails and phone calls kept coming in till late noon. Dear just came back from his reservist and has spent more than half a day waiting for me to clear my work..He was very angry and has commented that it has defeated the purpose of applying leave. I knew that it is unfair to him..Nonetheless, in my perspective, these are my responsiblities. If I knew there's some urgent issues out there waiting for me to coordinate or resolve, if any case if it's not done, it will keep pounding me and I can't enjoy my leave to the fullest in any case. My advise to u is, if you are not in Sales, then if u tink u cant work after office hrs, or being disturbed while on medical leave, then u better not step into Sales. Trust me, sales is the most demanding and toughest job! For those in sales, Im sure you should be able to sympathesize my situation. I really yearn for a 9 to 5 job all of a sudden..However, I know I'll not be contented for my fixed salary at the end of the mth. Sometimes, I felt tired too..I really need a long break away from work and everything else. I'm looking forward to my Gold Coast trip coming Jan, but at the thought of the work that required me to clear when I come back spoilt my mood tremendously. What will be will be..no one is indispensable..been reminding myself that..

@#$%^^&* encounter

Had a @#$%^&* encounter this morning..all I can say is "Petty man who acts like woman" still exists. My story begins like this, as usual in the early morning on my way to work, i managed to find a seat in the train and sitting with my legs crossed, there's a man standing in front of me, as the train is pretty packed, he was like just a step away from my seat. My "hanging in the air" leg accidentally touched his pants on the side..Guess what!! He immediately folded the newspaper that he was reading in his hands and tried brushing away the "dirt" using that folded newspapers on his pants and made an irritating sound! I stared back hard at him! Isn't that worse? One word to describe his action, "SIAO!" I seriously think he over-reacted...Cmon, it's just a light brush. How big can the impact be? Must I pay him for his cleaning for his pants too?? Ridiculous joke! To think he's a MAN?? *pui pui* It wasn't deliberate in the first place and I whispered sorry.

Super duper annoyed by his action that caused the unnecessary embararrsement.

Farewell Johnnie..

Ya must be wondering who, what, how is Johnnie associated with me..He's none other my little cousin's pet guinea pig who has been with the family for close to 6 yrs. He has departed on 10.11.07 peacefully. My cousins and my aunt booked 3 taxis to send Johnnie to cremate..sounds odd right? I was like...."huh, are u sure??" to my mum...It's a pet after all..no doubt bot that, however, ppl do develop feelings with their pets over a period of time. Understood from my mum that they have spent close to $250 for Johnnie's burial which includes a coffin for him..Amazing to me as this is the first time I heard there's such burial services for pets..He's quite a quiet little guinea pig that does nothing but eat and sleep all day. The doctor told my aunt that he's old and his time is up..

Coincidentally, during lunch, my colleague also told me that he just bought a pair of hamsters for his wife..They also spend close to $200 for the pet's houses, toys, meals and blah blah....For a moment, I almost harbour thoughts to have a pet..However, after 2nd thoughts, I better not..Firstly, my mum is against it, secondly, my pet will surely be a lonely pet..Pets like human beings have feelings and should be respected as well..

Farewell Johnnie, Rest in Peace!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Deardear, you've been away for 6 days and for once, I really felt a piece of me missing. It's hard to describe in words how I felt and still trying to put on a brave front in front of others. For once, I hate communication for not doing a good job to cover all aspects especially in particular, the GSM network in the sea. Now, see what I meant? It has made me even harder to digest on the fact that there's little means to msg or call u..I cant imagine that we are now living in a world of advanced technology. I know there is this statellite calling..but if it's like 30 bucks per min, for goodness sake, who would wanna use it? Haven say hi bye already 30 bucks gone..
I'm now counting down to ur return..Been kinda lonely these days without your presence.. Sudden urge to get married and settle down...Sue Bee, my old friend has just given birth to a baby boy..Congrats to her! She told me that she's not the kind whereby her focus is on career, but rather would prefer to spend more time with kids and family.. Still trying to explore to find out which group I belong to..
Well, women are fickle-minded creatures after all..
