Airbus Fright

2009-04-26T19:36:00.009+08:00

I should now be studying in my hotel room. But I am feeling rather bored and sleepy.
Damn, I have the whole room to myself and I will have a hard time coping tonight.

Arrived safely (Thank Lord!) despite the distressing 40 minutes of rough flight.
I have never been on a plane ride feeling my heart in my mouth. The ride was so bumpy that at certain point, we (the passengers) were lifted off our seats as we felt the plane dipped for God-knows-how-many-meters. Screams filled the whole cabin, and it was really terrifying.

Apart from the dipping, the rest of the 40-minute journey was nothing else but a shit load full of tremendous shakes. So it has caused me to resent clouds after this experience. Because they were the "evil" culprit behind all the terror.

Praying very hard that my flight back on Wednesday would be less eventful. (Fingers crossed)

Gaa.. and the conference starts tomorrow. Boring~

Haphazard Thoughts

2009-04-21T21:38:00.008+08:00

We were at Sim Lim Square and Hubby asked if I wanted Wii for my birthday.
"I don't have time to play games lah..".. And so, the hubby bought another (his forth) psp. Ya he is very free, unlike me. Gaa!

There's a reason why I never liked Sim Lim Square. It's saturated with utterly deceitful merchants. We had to make 3 resentful trips to the same shop to "fix" his gadget before it can be used to play games. Kaoz!

Anyway, talk about the coming trip to Bangkok for my first Managerial Conference. So afraid that I'll be trampled to death by the Red Shirts, the venue was changed to Kuala Lumpur.

And the first person to cheer in consent is the father.
The parents have been calling me every other day just to ask, "How now? You still going Bangkok ah? Don't go lah, let other colleague go lor..."
So it's the attitude of "other people die also never mind lah, own daughter must stay alive".

Wahahaa.. as I'm typing, Jamie is stamping up and down mimicking an elephant and singing "yippi yai yai yippi yippi yai...". Upon her demand, I have to play the lion. I wonder why, why lion? Hmm... bye!

Revival

2009-04-12T01:04:00.002+08:00

It's Jade Resurrected!

There has been countless times where I wanted to blog my thoughts but the exhuastion just kicks in the moment I switch on my laptop. Damn! Not my fault right?!

Well, for the pure benefit of those who remembers my baby's birthday, the snapshots of her celebration is now available at her own web space.

I would really love to type in more things but I have to start working on my assignment like about NOW. The dateline is on Monday (13-Apr-09, 12 noon)

I'm totally consumed by eveything. Just one word to describe, drained.

Almost Gone

2008-12-30T21:25:00.004+08:00

Kinda told Jaslin & Dawn that this is what I'll do to my blog, something that best describes what's been happening around here...

Busy packing... Spending New Year away, Winter clothes.. check. Jamie... check... Passport...check... Bye peeps!!!

Just Another Entry

2008-11-24T00:29:00.002+08:00

On friday evening, the girls made their dinner and drinks arrangement for Fion who will be celebrating her birthday today.

The meet-up was great except when they mentioned about the passing of DLS's favourite tea lady, I was reduced to tears instantly. She was one amiable tea-lady whom I'll never forget, and she makes the greatest tea.

Cancer.

Over the past month, I've heard a handful of people who've passed due to cancer. The hubby's ex-officer (Colon cancer). A colleague's spouse (Nose cancer). A relative of mine (Liver cancer). And my favourite tea-lady (Stomach cancer).

Life's the way it is and death comes to everyone eventually.

Just another random and emo entry. Duh, nights.

Something's Wrong, Very Wrong

2008-11-09T13:29:00.012+08:00

About a week ago, I made a failed attempt to update this near-forsaken blog of mine and the display seemed a little unusual. (ie. like the 2nd pic you see).

I could no longer choose the font type and colour no more. Dammit, what's wrong?!?!
Tell me that is it not unusual? That it's just because I've been way behind the blogging-times hence I lost touch of how to use the "now-new" blogspot.

Okay, that was last week where I gave up trying thinking it'll get better if I logged in another day.

And today (a week after), it's still very much the same. F*ck!

It's infuriating, I'm pounding on my poor keyboard & mouse. "BING BANG BASH"
I'm pissed... real pissed!

WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG??

Look at the first picture (above)...it's a whole string of scripts instead of displaying the printscreen I've downloaded.
And the only way where I was able view a picture was to click on the top right corner of my message, "Preview" FUCK.

HATE THIS PLACE

Lazy lah.. ..

2008-10-20T12:14:00.000+08:00

Still alive, just lazy lor

David Cook

2008-09-17T21:19:00.002+08:00

This is gonna be extremely belated and totally tardy but I don't give a hoot because I'm deeply overwhelmed by David Cook's performances on the American Idol 7 even though the competition is so over now.

(grabs own hair) Gosh... So hopelessly in lurve with his voice!!
Maybe the hub should consider a change of career... like... be a rocker?

You know, my favourite performance was how he did Mariah Carey's "Always Be my Baby".. Aww... melted... How can anyone not adore him...

Back then, I just didn't have the time to follow through with the season's competition OKAY?!

New Toy

2008-09-08T18:50:00.003+08:00

I got a new toy... I got a new toy.

NO... not a dildo larrr!!! (well who knows, i might just... ...) *snigger*

It's my 16gb Ipod Touch.. I'm blogging with it now. And from this day on, I'm gonna love MacDonalds.

Now, is there anyone out there who wants to take over my Ipod Nano (4gb)???

So Here I Am

2008-09-06T09:40:00.008+08:00

Did anyone even notice my absence? No?! Dammit... Probably because this site is no longer open for all eyes. And I can randomly vomit my thoughts.

Some updates.. The Hub's been very clingy lately, keeping me very occupied. And beyond his presence, I can only do things such as working, gyming & swimming. Anyway, it's been monotonous.

And so.. I went to the gym and did my usual workouts.. Can't feel healthier.. Wahahaha!! Just yesterday while I was merrily rowing, I couldn't help notice this mascular-build man who was also rowing beside me. And I couldn't help noticing him giving off an odor that was suffocating. I NEED AIR. As much as I wanted to run away from the station but my determination to complete the distance kept me going.

So as usual, the Hub will pick me up after my sessions. While I walked towards the carpark and was approaching his car, somebody called from behind. It's the mascular-build-odor-man,
claiming that he didn't wanna freak me out and just thought that we could be friends.. Well I thought he looked young and could even possibly be younger than me. Well of course that's not the point lah... Situation was tense because I could feel the Hub's eyes on us although he never stepped out of the car. Said no and then bye lor. Duh~ Waste time...

Hahaha... this bitch.

Further to my previous entry, I'm starting to believe that either there's a puncture somewhere or, my bosom, having a mind of its own, decides to self-compact!!! (Self-soothe...self-soothe)

SHIT. As usual, the Hub raises his concerns a couple of times. Ya right, concern...
As most of you would probably think that these are just bedroom issues between partners but I shared my thoughts with a guy friend who actually was comforting.. part of our conversation went something like...

"Hubby said my boobs are smaller now =( "

"How dare he say that. FUCK! He can say anything else but not your boobs! So insensitive!"

"Erm... actually I'm fine with the way I am, and to start with, I've never been well-endowed"
(which makes it all the more pathetic)

"Don't worry, You look fine. You got the right stuff. So just forget about what he said."

"Ya... thanks.."

"You're just nice the way you are now. Ignore him, not appreciative."

"Yep.. i know, that's the only way.. else? Boob job?... kekekeke...

And yadda yadda... conversation goes on...

F**K. Where has the sun been lately?
I miss you...my tan is fading... F**k

I Got tiny Boobs?

2008-08-25T23:25:00.003+08:00

That wasn't exactly a question... more like a self-analysis, I know me too well.

Bumped into Gilbert at the gym yesterday evening doing his periodic weight-lifting... and after I've completed some 30mins on the tread-mill.. he offered:

"Wanna lift weights?"

"Huh? like how heavy? For what?"

"30kg... goood"

"Good for?"

"Builds my chest, builds yours too...ahem.."

"F**k.. I dun need that.."

Out of the Darkness, Comes the Knight

2008-07-21T22:31:00.008+08:00

Saw "The Dark Knight" over the weekend.

Even though I never quite learn how to appreciate Batman but I still enjoyed this movie because of Heath Ledger. For he'd displayed the role of Joker so brilliantly that it stirred feelings of fondness and fear.

Although it was not shown that the Joker was caught eventually and with Batman on the run, we might just see the return of the iconic duo (Batman & Joker) again but sadly, the late Heath Ledger will not be around to captivate me with the role that he has created.

And the worst thing about the movie? Too freaking long!!

But anyway, Why So Serious? It's just a show.

Hahaha.. I just lurve that tagline. Why So Serious...Why So Serious... Why So Serious... Why So Serious... .. See it for Ledger, he was fantastic.

Oops, I did it again

2008-07-14T18:43:00.003+08:00

Once again, Jade decides to perform her favourite stunt.
That is... to FAINT

YES.. after 1 hr 30 mins of continuous hardcore tanning (1130hrs - 1300hrs)...
Jade collapsed by the pool... resulting to mutiple abrasions especially the one below her right eye.

You see, this girl is extremely prone to fainting and when it happens, she'd just black out, drop and injure herself in any way that you can think of.

Eh, nothing out of the extraordinary because that's my only "special skill" okay?!
Me is definitely not weak, it was just that the sun was too hot and I had no water but I'll make it a point to drink during future tanning sessions.

p/s: Jaslin & Fion... our tanning session is still on. (OKAY??!!!)

Speech-less

2008-07-11T00:04:00.004+08:00

The Boss: "You are my motivation to come to work everyday.."
Me: "Huh?!"

And there I was, lost for words, utterly speechless.

The Return of the....

2008-06-24T23:04:00.006+08:00

Ahem... [makes a "GRAND" entrance] Well hullo! I'm back, from nowhere.

Frankly, I've got tonnes of updates but kinda lost the drive to blog. Except for some not so new news.. I've switched jobs [er okay, so you know that obviously?!] and my new office is like 15 minutes from home..[alright, and you know that too?!]

Erm.. what else, I got myself a new look. Not so new actually, I had this hairstyle like 4 years ago. Anyway ta-dah!! And this is for now... ...

Yup... and that's 4 freaking years back in history..

Right, I'm blogging just for the sake of blogging. Saw the Zohan followed by Get Smart. Hilarious and I only meant Adam Sandler who was frigging lame but definitely entertaining.

So now let's talk about something new and I mean really new.
Since I started my new job, I now go to work and reaches the office at 8.30 every morning and sometimes even earlier.
And I was amazed by me because it never happened in the past 2 years when I was with the "PRESTIGE company". You see back then, nobody in my clique (except Jas) starts work at 8.30, we only do the 10 o'clock shift my dear.

And I miss that, only that. Oh, and the coffee breaks... and that's about all. It's getting late and I'm waking up at 7.30 tomorrow. See?! Fancy that coming from me? Amazed anot?!

Stress

2008-05-16T17:29:00.004+08:00

Eddie [looking at Fion's direction]: Er, Jade how's the issue at Buckley?

Instantly, Fion and Jade turned and looked at him..

Fion: My name is Fion.
Jade: Eddie, stop thinking of me.

Unjust Innovation

2008-04-30T18:12:00.011+08:00

I was telling The Hub about the beastly Austrian who raped his daughter and fathered 7 of her kids. And talk about Austria, that's where the innovative prison is located. In Leoben. And then, it struck me that he could possibly be savoring every moment of his luxurious jail-term thanking everybody who made his arrest possible. OMFG!

Why would a prison environment be so beautifully designed? To encourage prisoners to reform or just to make them stay longer?

I would love to move into a prison if it looks this good.

That's IT, Austria, No more basements!

2008-04-29T12:45:00.010+08:00

A nauseating piece of news where 73-yr-old Austrian reveals underground dungeon where he fathered SEVEN children with his imprisoned daughter. (Father confesses to years of abuse in "House of Horrors")

No one would ever be able to imagine the excruciating torture the daughter went through for the past 24 years, being imprisoned and repeatedly raped by her own father. The 73 year old is undeniably a perverted beast.

And he just LOOKS evil. Agree? And why do evil people always look evil? Is it because we know their crimes? Or is it nature's way of saying, "Watch out."
I feel sorry for the inbred children. It would be unfortunate enough to have this man as your grandfather, but to have him as your father AND grandfather is just a double dose of genetic evil.

Oh, and I have to question the whole part of the story where the wife didn't know what was going on. How the fuck do you not pick up on something going on downstairs in the cellar? Who the hell doesn't venture into their own basement for two decades?

Seriously? Your daughter has been down there for TWENTY-FOUR freaking years. And the poor woman even gave birth down there!

This guy really needs to be fucking slaughtered.

Formula Drift 2008

2008-04-28T16:51:00.011+08:00

Yesterday a bunch of dudes and dudettes went to the Formula Drift Singapore held at Changi Exhibition Centre. The sun was viciously hot and we were all near to melting point.

The HOT race queens. And if you think they are not Hot enough for you, let's move on to.. ..

Yah.. the "HOT" race kings. (Where got race king take umbrella one?..)

Just a mere few hours of "tia xia & pi yan" (听声闻烟 a.k.a. listen sound smell smoke）I was roasted. And I'm obviously miserable now because wearing my usual strap bra would hurt as though I'm being skinned off my shoulder.

And I finally just understood why this peculiar girl was heavily cladded in tight jeans and seemingly thick hooded jacket under the blistering sun. To think I was mocking her senseless choice of attire on a sizzling hot afternoon. She was so blardy smart, in her own way of course.

Me is back!

2008-04-25T16:56:00.003+08:00

I've been putting off blogging because I was somewhat confused, indecisive and most importantly, busy negotiating a rough patch at work.

Why?

Now if anyone noticed, the thing is that they guilt-trip me! When I contemplate even the slightest possibilty of an alternative, before I can even decide.
Talk about what my future will be like.. Well, look who's talking.

And I shall now interrupt your enjoyment of the recent lack of entries with an important announcement.. ..
My arduous period is OVER!! I can now roast chicken wings over an open fire fuelled by the endless stacks of documents. (Okay, that sounds way too selfish and somewhat sinful) I shall roast marshmallows instead. Sweet!

I tried to recall what exactly happened during the period of my absence and some details from last month nudged their way in. It's like one day cannot be seperated from the next because every day is so saturated with the same damn thing. And as a result, work is becoming something of an exercise wheel, only it's automated so we pack of rats don't have a choice but run.

Well anyway, it's official.
And I'm lovin' it.

"Blank"

April Fool again.. ..

2008-04-01T16:39:00.003+08:00

It's 1st April again. Time really really flies.. it felt like just yesterday when I posted an entry on the origin of April Fool.

Even Kenny Sia decided to ''quit'' blogging. Let's just wait & see.. ..

To Cheer or Not To Cheer

2008-03-25T10:51:00.007+08:00

Was feeling ultra "down" over work, the Bosses could have probably sensed something wrong with me (i guess) which most likely explained why they dropped in a few sms of encouragement over the weekend:

EY: "Dont b discourage. Things wil get better. Cheer up"

WS: "Dear Jade, please do not worry as I have thew situation in VizzyCres under control. I have a strategy of getting the FA done and I will be fully behind you. Please cheer up."

It's come to a point where I don't feel like moving ahead anymore. I don't know. And somewhere at the back of my head there's a tiny voice that says "Just do it, it'll be over soon.." but I'm not synchronizing.

Anyway on Sunday, the Hub and his Fabulous friends suggested to have a short outing to Malaysia. And so we drove.. ..

Some Weird Shit

2008-03-18T00:09:00.004+08:00

Fion was full of praises for Google.. because she was so bored that she had to google her own nickname, "ahfion"

Surprisingly, it came back with a list of search results.. about 4 pages while Yahoo could only offer 2.

And it goes to show that, Google beat Yahoo hands down. LOL``

Wah, Miss Lim! 4 pages sia!!! and it even has my name among your name(s).. "Friendster - Jade". Seriously, WTF?!

Sad Fact #2

2008-03-16T08:28:00.000+08:00

8.45am: Sunday

I'm sitting here again, this time I'm the ONLY one.. in the office.
*Sigh*

Think:"Why does this happen to me?
Why does every moment have to be so hard?"

Sad Fact #1

2008-03-15T10:18:00.002+08:00

10.00am: Saturday

I'm sitting right here, in the office.

*Sigh*

What's new

2008-03-13T21:22:00.005+08:00

Dedicated the entire day to my Director and Contractor just so that we can try our best-est best to agree on the variations in order to settle Vizzycres's final accounts.

Meeting finally ended at 7.30pm and I was already dog-tired. Had to continue working (well that's how miserable my life can be, sometimes).
Just as I was whining under my breath, Eddie popped by.. sounding unusually amiable. For those who do not know, he has this weird aura of politeness whenever he has to break some not-so-wonderful news.

Eddie: "Er.. Jade.. mmm not sure if you heard, they are going to pass the BSW to me."
Jade: (with twisted expressions) "but you are OVERLOADED.. give Cosmas??"
Eddie: "No, they gonna let me run it.. with Susan."
Jade: (even more twisted) "but she's got the big-big Medio project."
Eddie: "Erm.. you see, arrangements are.. when her big project begins, the BSW will be passed to you..
Jade: (blank look) (silence... ...)
Eddie: "Don't worry, by then your Vizzycres final account should be quite done.."

I just can't figure why they are so positive towards Vizzycres these days.. while I'm counting our days.
Anyway, I'm just hoping I won't have to be the one doing the cost estimate all over again.
For all you know, I might just die.

Why I hate Mornings

2008-03-11T10:00:00.004+08:00

On the train, I met a woman whose sole purpose in life was to make mine miserable with her incessant head-turning-hair-slapping-on-my-face stunt.
If anyone has hair that's long and thick, for goodness sake BUNDLE IT UP or maybe shave it all. 'Cos your hair might not feel or smell as pleasurable when it hits people's faces in the crowded morning train.
And of course, stop turning your head left, right, left, right, left, right... Whatever for? Just stand still lah. Duh``

Andandand, the Hub did what I deem as an "unforgivable" act last night. LMAO.
He set his very own cousin on a date with his car mechanic, Brandon. Okay, not exactly a mechanic 'cos his da boss of FabulousX.
And Brandon insisted I be present so he can talk to me.. Wahahahahaha!! Poor boy.

Okay, I shall dispense with the "set-up-date" joke because the cousin felt awkward enough already.

Anyway, I shall continue working on my tender report for now.

Disgruntled

2008-03-09T22:42:00.007+08:00

I'm kinda grumpy because viwawa's website is going through a very bad lag and as a result I can't log in. So that explains why I am typing away now... ... WARNING: Plenty of worthless babble as you scroll down.

The next thing I did was to check my email. And there I was, instantly humoured by ES and WS's email.

Last Friday, the Hub had an invitation to join Team Fabulous in one of their night outings. And I had the honour of having 12 cars pick me up from Selegie and spent the rest of the night in reckless speed driving from one destination to another. 140km/h ---> 160km/h ---> traffic police road block. Oops, game over as some of you might be assuming. While the drivers were negotiating with the officers, I was in the car contemplating whether to discard the walkie-talkie (wouldn't wanna be charged with illegal racing would we). Anyway, drivers were given a warning and off we went into the night.. again.

Saw 10,000BC today but didn't like the ending very much. The reason I had to spend that money was because Eddie is counting on me to finish the tender report for My Saviour's Church, which means I can't attend our company's movie treat which is coincidentally also screening 10,000BC. Bless me.

Arghh!! Still cannot log in.. Damn it.

A Talk with the Director

2008-02-28T19:30:00.003+08:00

Slogged passed midnight yesterday and it wasn't what I intended. Was preparing to leave but WS walked into the partition before I could turn off my computer and we winded up in a passive-smoker-chatting session.

It was unexpected to hear his comments about our performances at work since our Topic of The Day wasn't exactly about Jade much less, Fion. And of course he described the good things about us lah.. ah-hem!
However a strong sense of plerplexity began to overwhelm me. (appreciated? worried? good? bad?) What happens if I fail him one day? Hmmm, let's skip the bad part... first.

"Fast, prompt, good, know what I want" and "very gan-cheong* about your projects" was his comments on us.
Which I've always thought of Fion being the panicky-near-nervous-breakdown Quantity Surveyor among our midst whenever it comes to her projects.
It goes without saying, knowing what your Bosses want is very very important. Know what Eddie wants or you can jolly well spend your daily lunchbreaks with DT.

So the best part was.. WS is relatively please with Jaslin's work now. Good job Girl.
See? Perseverance does pay off sometimes... at least that's what I observed.

*gan-cheong = anxious

SINGAPORE vs Moscow

Another Death

2008-02-20T00:03:00.001+08:00

Another daunting piece of news for the early 2008.

First it was our local actor/host, Jimmy Nah known to us as 'MC King'.
Followed by Sir Edmund Hillary who was one of the first climbers to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.
Then it was Heath Ledger who acted in the movie "Brokeback Mountain".
And following closely to him was Indonesia's former President Suharto
Weeks later (today), our renown Hong Kong entertainer known for her bouffant hairstyle & wing-tip glasses, Lydia Sum.

She passed away this morning in Hong Kong, after a two year battle with liver cancer.

I mean what more can we expect when this handful of people are already dying just beginning of the year.
Yes I know the fact that people die and they do it everyday.

Even Ah Meng left us.

New Look

2008-02-19T10:49:00.003+08:00

again.. till I get bored of it.. again.
For now, just let me enjoy its simplicity.

Hello.. Me is Back

2008-02-18T10:46:00.002+08:00

It's been aeons since I last blogged.

Looking back, I realised my entries were mainly overly self-absorbed thus boring and excessive indulgence in self-pity but WTF, it's my blog & my space.

CNY will be coming to its end this Thursday and here I am blogging about how I spent my New Year. Blah.. It was.. well, like that lor.

Been suffering dizzy spells in the mornings, I don't know why. And congratulate me NOT.. I'm definitely un-expecting.

Niki and Trina were self-invited to my humble abode on Friday evening to help clear the bottles of beer left from CNY.. And one of them threw me a very interesting question which nobody has ever asked.

Qns: You see, when you are married, the Wife will usually select the bedsheets, and will the Husband disagree with her flowery taste?

My Answer: No, because so long he has a bed to sleep in and gets it most of the time, he's generally a happy man. So, the boy doesn't mind my flowery taste when selecting bedsheets.

Blame it on Aussino.

Digressing.. .. ..

As I was in the mode of high concentration watching American Gangster on dvd last night, a loud tele-conversation between the Husband and his colleague burst out from the room. It was about money.
Apparently, he owes the Husband a few grands. Which of course pisses him off but pissed me even more. So I'm gonna call him the Motha-fucker from this point onwards.. ..

So the Husband forced the motha-fucker to take up a loan from an ah-long (loanshark) to repay his debt(s), and the Husband introduced a "friend" to "help" the motha-fucker.
Hmmm.. getting interesting. I put a pause to American Gangster for a while and placed my full concentration trying to eavesdrop on the Husband instead.

I shouldn't be exposing this here but who cares, no names mentioned. Based on every $1,000 borrowed, the debtor will only get a cash of $800 which he has to make payment of $200 on a fortnightly basis for 6 times.

Wah kaoz.. do your maths.. so easy money, i mean for the creditor of course. Lend $800 and gets back $1,200. Cash leh, no minimum income required. Hahahahaha!!! And can get to bash up that motha-fucker some more.

Seriously, ask why I am pissed.. because that few grands could make some freaking good use lor. I need new bag, new camera, etc etc.. Dammit.

Of course I wouldn't encourage borrowing from such "financal companies".. That motha-fucker is probably desperate for money because he not only owes the Husband. Bless his poor soul, for he might be fired from the SAF or land himself in the detention barracks.. maybe...

Tonight.. We'll drive down to the friend's pub. And take along that motha-fucker & his 2 guarantors of course.

As usual

While waiting my MJ legs to arrive, I might as well blog a little.

Today was helluva busy day. Woke up rather early to do some cleaning around the house. And ended up having my first meal of the day at only 5pm.

The Hub and I decided to give Pizza Hut another chance which they flunked again. After serving us our soup, we waited for a whole 30 minutes for our lagsane and baked rice. To our horror, the waitress explained & apologised that they forgot to key in our orders.. FUCK. How the hell did they remember to serve us soup in the first place since it's a set meal altogether?!?!?! Bloody hopeless idiots.

After which they offered us 6 pieces of drumlets as a compliment to make up for their error. Well, that wasn't very wise of them. But because I love drumlets, I accepted their offer and quickly finished up. And since I was fuming mad, I decided to speak to their manager about their poor service and we ended up walking out of the restaurant with all charges WAIVED!! Wahahahaha!!!

Seriously, I wonder how Pizza Hut survive this far.

Anyway, after that fitful meal I went to Jean Yip hoping to get my hairstyle changed for the nearing Lunar New Year. My stylist advised me against chopping my mane short because he thinks I'll eventually end up with super flat hairstyle with no volume at all.

Very well then, I took his advise and so I decided to stick to my length but at least a re-bonding treatment and a little trimming here and there.
And it turns out that Jean Yip have a routine scalp assessment before they can begin any chemical treatments on my head.
And the result of my scalp assessment wasn't very delightful. As you may have already guessed, I was advised to do a Scalp Detoxification. How bloody cheem does that sound.. detox my scalp...

Okay, things that sounds like this don't come cheap. $400++.. .. .. without the re-bonding.

Fine, in order not to promote hair loss due to the oily scalp, I'll do.

And whoever sees my hair, you better keep your mouth shut.

Desperado

2008-01-26T14:03:00.000+08:00

Wahaha.. My Coach Sling bag is here.
First day using it.. Kekekekeke!!!

Anyway, our dear ED sms me last night with a reminder to send the following email. (Which I already did so earlier that evening..) See?! He is so forgetful.

Anyways, I drafted something like this:

Dear S---- / Ms T---

Till date, DLX have assessed all of Phase 1 variations, excluding Kxx Lxx and Axx as they have already been allowed for in the Provisional Sums.

We arrived at the sum of $10.5 million vs. GX's $18 million, which includes Kxx Lxx and Axx amounting to almost $5 million. GX's figures (excluding the $5M) should be adjusted to $13M. The variance in cost primarily stemmed from the $2.3M for the structural remeasurement which will be subject to bulk check upon further agreement.

The nett difference [i.e $10.5M (DLX) vs $10.7M (GX)] is considered marginal and we would urge GX to agree with our assessed figure except for the structural remeasurement.

Thanks and Regards
E / Jade

What more can I say.. WE ARE DESPERATE.

i don't like this

2008-01-19T12:12:00.000+08:00

Worked till late on weekdays..
Back in the office on weekends..

I'm just not a good Mommy. Jamie must be missing me... ... a lot. It's devastating, really.

And does anybody know?

They don't care if I'm a good mother, because they just want their work done. And it's never gonna end.
Eugene expects us to slog for him.
Eddie expects me to work over the weekends because Cosmas can't and they need the information.

Now that I'm sitting here but where are they??? All alone in the team's parition and away from family.

Depressing.. .. 'nuff said.

going bonkers

2008-01-14T23:15:00.000+08:00

Think I'm losing it.

Walked into the wrong partition, sat at the wrong table.

I want to go home... ... ...

No No No

2008-01-14T11:32:00.000+08:00

The Hub made another proposal (out of countless failed attempts) about having another kid. And I totally snapped.
Guess what... he kept quiet immediately while I was all prepared for him to rebuke me.

Yes, Children are a gift from God and I think they all come with different agendas. Mostly they are here to brighten up your life. Whereas some are here to test your patience and some are here to take care of you when you're old (which is probably a 1 in 100 chance that they'll do so)

You cannot imagine what life will be when you have them.
But when you really do, you cannot imagine life without them.

Well yes, I cannot imagine what life will be without Jamie.
So there will be none other than my Little Princess.

And when I say "No", I mean it.
SO STOP BUGGING.

搞自壁。。。

2008-01-12T11:16:00.000+08:00

搞自壁。。。
搞自壁。。。
搞自壁。。。

Me is don't want to switch on the lights. And our team's corner actually looks quite good in the dimness... Mysterous & obsure...

i'm not here, i'm not here, i'm not here.. nobody can see me.. nobody can see me, nobody can see me... rattling on...

Just minding my own business ambiguously.

Just lonely and hungry... Well, not so actually because Johnson dropped by to say 'Hi' (he wanted to borrow some information) and Dawn's buying lunch for me.. soon...

Tony vs nostalgia

2008-01-09T11:38:00.000+08:00

Eddie repeatedly emphasised that Tony Leung could have easily passed off as a porn star with his excellent love scenes in the uncensored version of the movie "Lust, Caution"

So he thought Tony was kinda good (in his act) and he lent me his DVD. And that indicates? I can also rate his steamy love-making scenes and whether that man will be able to make it big in the Pornography industry should he ever consider to make changes.

Blah.. I fell asleep just 15mins into the show. And it goes to show that only the explicit scenes and moves can stir interest, though I've never seen porn all my life (and ya, who would believe me right?)... Whatever..

Well at this moment of my life, nothing beats Desperate Housewives just because I didn't think much of the series back then when it was a hit, I'm now watching all seasons of the Housewives, back to back.
So It reminds me of my secondary school days when Rachel, Ross and Friends were the topic. And I begin to reminisce, how everyone grew and changed over the years.

Somebody once gave me a word of caution on my 21st birthday and it felt like yesterday. "Once you hit the big 21, you'll begin to notice that time really do fly and there's no looking back. And before you know it, you're 31."

Fantastic. I'm clearly in my mid-twenties now.
Good.. can't wait to grow old to see my wrinkled face in the mirror and hopefully I don't die before that.

Morning

2008-01-07T09:08:00.000+08:00

It's the 2nd week into 2008, and I did manage to arrive at work before 9am though work starts at 8.45 but admit it, I'm making improvements already.

Let's just see how long this can last before I slip back to waking up at 9am every morning.

However, I hate the fact that tea is only ready after 9.30 which means I'll have to wait.

I CANNOT start work without my tea. And that explains why I am blogging.

Anyway, I received an email from an ex-colleague, containing adorable animal pictures...

Indulge in Things that you truly Love

Take an occasional Risk

Live Up to your Name

Always remain calm even if it seems hopeless

Give lots of kisses

SMILE

into the new year

2008-01-01T22:27:00.000+08:00

I'm not gonna make new year resolutions anymore because they will never work out. I can say that I'm pretty contented with my life and everything that I have so far.

I also thank God for Jamie for I love her more than anything else.

And that's that. Happy New Year!

After several days of delay.. they finally updated.

Boxing Day

2007-12-27T13:52:00.000+08:00

Q: When is Boxing Day?
A: Boxing Day is the following day after Christmas Day. It is on the 26 December. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is also a Public Holiday (unfortunately, it doesn't happen here in Singapore).

Q: Why is 26 December called the Boxing Day in England?

A: Traditionally, this was the day to open the Christmas Box to share its contents with the poor.

The few of us had dinner together yesterday evening. Our initial plan was to dine at IndulgZ Bistro but who would have known that the restaurant decided to take time off on Boxing Day.

Fret Not!! 'Coz we moved on to Siam Kitchen at Bugis Junction.

And since we couldn't get a chance to taste the former's "Lychee & White Wine Sorbet", we settled for the alternative. Siam Kitchen's "Lychee Freezee"!!!.. It tasted just like its name, very lychee and very freezy.

The food spread. Not much was ordered for we weren't much of big-eaters. (Except for PohLee who was stuffed-silly by his attentive & caring girlfriend)

PL was trying to.. I dunno what he was trying to prove anyway. But I just could not not post this st***d photo of him. (Sorry Jas)

Sze Hwee and Dawn

Fion and Me

Another st***d photo of PL eating with ~~not-so-~~much flair. -duh-

my message to galsstreet

2007-12-26T12:05:00.000+08:00

Hi Galsstreet,

It is disappointing to know that you do not live up to your words.

First, it was the long break and commitment was made to be back on Christmas Eve (24 Dec 2007) with more newbies and updates.
Second, your notice indicated that updates will be posted on Christmas Day (25 Dec 2007).

Today is the 26 Dec 2007 and there are nothing new on your site.
Are empty promises all that Galsstreet can offer?

This email is not intended to make any accusations but to relate how we've been very much supporting your terrfic website and mostly the clothes that you offer.
However, the delay is truly dispiriting and I can be sure that everybody is aching for the "newbies and updates" as previously affirmed by you.

Hope to see updates as soon as possible.

Cheers
Jade

I'm not trying to be a nosy-parker and neither have I got nothing-else-better-to-do. As for those who know, Jaslin and I are vivid customers of Galsstreet and we've been refreshing our monitor screens hoping to see updates since the 24th Dec.

It is truely disappointing.
Please update soon.. ..

Merry Merry

2007-12-25T22:48:00.000+08:00

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Thank you Jaslin..

On Christmas eve

Yet another taiwanese drama series that made me laugh and bawl at the same time. The Hub has long gotten use to my acute-personality-rupture.

It's mad, because the dvd bug kept me up the whole night and the last time I looked at the time, it was already 7am in the morning.

Anyway I could have almost completed the whole series if not for the fact that I dozed off uncontrollably, waking up at only 12 noon. And I wanted very much to continue from where I left off, but I remembered that I'd to go back to the office.

-_-"' ~sian~

And it's Christmas eve..

Okay, so here I am at my seat with June Princess's company.

Thank you Fion!

Team B had our Christmas gift exchange today, like what we did one year ago. But it's a different feeling this Christmas because Sobi is leaving us for India very soon.

The memo on bonus which everyone's been expecting is finally out, and it certainly lives up to our expectations. An utter disappointment.

White envelopes will fly soon, I suppose.

While the other memo on promotion that everyone's been awaiting for is also out.
But it didn't come as a surprise because I was already told.
Can't deny my glee but it just goes to show that I can expect more work to be loaded onto me in exchange for a mere title and a few more bucks.
And for that I'll have part with much of my money in order to invest in a trilogy of treats to my hungry collegues.

Anyway, it is still a good thing.
And congratulations to all others who got promoted as well.

I Hate Mornings

2007-12-13T11:30:00.000+08:00

Was roused from my sleep at the crack of dawn by some rustling sounds in the bedroom.
Nothing out of the ordinary, it must be the hubby as I thought to myself.

Me: "Bi.. Turn on the heater for me hoh...", heard him say "Orh.." and I quickly fell back into slumber.

Was once again jolted awake by my triple-alarm-clock-combo-ring at about 8am.. (okay I know the word, LATE)
I stumbled into the bathroom and began my morning routine, brush teeth, contact lens and into the shower I went.

Piercing cold water poured from the shower and bit onto my skin resulting in an instant freezing from head to toe. And the worst part, the main heater switch is in the kitchen.

Which means, I have to bundle myself in a towel, run out of the bathroom into my air-conditioned room, and pass the corridor into the kitchen, turn on the heater, wait for a good 5 minutes so it'll heat up, and back the same way. All wrapped in a towel?!?!?! It's Morning and it's cold lor!!!!

Great job Jayson Li.

You will be sorry.

What exactly is it that you want?

Because of the different ontract period (12 Weeks vs 9 Weeks) the only thing I'm able to do is to adjust the Preliminaries accordingly.

First you ask for me to do a build-up for the Preliminaries rather than using a percentage.
Fine. I did it.

Now you want a percentage of the Preliminaries against the Builder's and M&E works.
Fine. I did it again.

Now I don't know what else you want.
Now, do you realise this is urgent? Do you realise it is MONDAY now?!
Do you realise I have another cost estimate to do for the blardy church and the fcuking tender is calling on the 27th which means there's no block leave for me and there's only ONE JADE trying to please you?!!

First you asked me to check with Daniel, on what was the estimated cost for CapitaLand's standard toilet.
Fine. I checked with him for both Lot 1 Shopper's Mall and JEC accordingly. So, I priced in for the toilets based on the number of sets, just like he did for his estimates.

And now you want me to break them down.
Hello?
I don't know how to do a breakdown especially for CapitaLand's standard form of toilets.
I don't know what Sanitary Wares they're using and nobody knows, yet.
I don't know why Daniel did his pricing in the form sets and you accepted but refused to take in mine.

It's deliberate isn't it?
Thanks for making things so difficult for me. YOU WIN.

And.. with meeting schedules like these.. who will finish my work for me? Huh??

I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I FUCKING LOVE IT. My foot.

On average, I buy 4 pieces of apparels from PaperGirls' or Galsstreet every month and I still think I have nothing to wear.
It's that bad because I seem to be the only one who hasn't gotten over the ''bug'' and I think it will never happen.

Why did I even bother to re-read my storybooks? Especially those that made me cry. Just let them sit there on the shelf and spend the rest of their book-lives hoping their pages don't turn yellow. Books won't feel neglected. They won't feel abandoned just because you've read them once and left them there to self-soothe. Why bother?!

Well I bothered.

Was travelling to work on the train this morning and onlookers threw me the "wassup with you" look because I was sobbing.
Ok, embarassing that is.

Heard that more friends will be getting married next year. That shows I'm getting old because friends around me are all getting hitched and are having kids. And I'm like St. Nick, giving away stuff (Jamie's stuff) 'cos she don't use them anymore.

Jamie has a boyfriend now. (Laughs to myself)
His name is Shermen. They got to know each other at Tumbletots and they held hands wherever they went. They shared their toys and danced together whenever it was "circle-time".

Just some useless ramblings.. ..

Meetings meetings meetings... they can last the whole morning / afternoon, and most of the time the entire day.
It is only when I finally return to the office in the evening that I can start to do my work.

This is what I've been going through for the past 2 weeks.
And for the coming months, I think.
So, when you feel that you really have no time to complete your work, you bring it home.

NOT GOOD. NOT GOOD.

Tomorrow is another tedious day
9.30am, meeting with DP Architects till noon probably.
And after lunch at 2pm, meeting Greatearth till evening I suppose.

AND.. It's Friday!!!

These days, Nepalis not Singaporeans guard some of the city's most senstive sites.

Gurkha soldiers - widely regarded as the most fearsome fighters in the world, are on the frontline of the city-state as Singaopre clamps down on Islamic militancy in the wake of the September 11 attacks in the United States.

The Gurkhas' main strength is their impartiality in the multiracial city-state of four million people.

Not being influenced by the local scene is part of their concept in Singapore. They just don't get emotionally involved in anything they may get caught up with

They are unique here in the sense that the Gurkhas are police officers... While a soldier is perhaps out there to kill people, Gurkhas here are essentially present to maintain the peace, and protect people and property.

Yet, a Gurkha cop is still a Gurkha. According to legend, once his kukri dagger has been drawn in battle, it must "taste blood". If it has not, its master has to cut himself before returning it to its sheath.

Stationed in Singapore on a temporary mission, the Gurkhas do not sink deep roots into the city's soil. They are not allowed to.

The principle of impartiality even forbids them to marry Singaporean women.

So far, only two or three of them have broken the tradition and chosen to stay in Singapore instead of returning to Nepal, one of the world's poorest countries and torn by a six-year-old Maoist rebellion that has claimed some 3500 lives.

********** **********

It is depressing to know that Nepalese are not allowed to stay permanently in Singapore, especially when one of them is your colleague/friend.
It is the feeling of being cast away from a country where you resided for the past 20 years and then they stripped off the opportunity for you to even continue working here.

It is unbelievably harsh.

And deep in our hearts, we know the reason why he would not be allowed but we will not stop trying for a miracle.

Hang in there Sobi. Don't give up yet.

Like what my Contractor's PM says..

"the construction industry is full of mad people. the architect's mad, the developer's mad, the consultants are mad.. and even my bangladeshi workers are mad.. called me at 8am in the morning screaming that he saw a tiger on site.. ..which Datuk later confirmed that it's just a cat that looked like a tiger.. Xiao ah!!"

Developer: "We request for LCD screens instead of LED inside the lifts"

Lift Contractor: "Yah can. We already submitted the cost of a 10.4" LCD with DVD functions.."

Developer: "Oh no, no, no.. we don't want DVD player.. the LCD is not for playing anything.."

Lift Contractor: "Er.. then?"

Developer: "just show the lift going up / down..??"

ALL: "Xiao ah!"

Gone Bonkers, Imagination running wild

2007-11-14T16:16:00.000+08:00

The following conversation will prove how difficult life is and it's causing us to be part schizophrenic beings.

ME: "Muack! Thanks for the effort. But what is the Pink font trying to prove?? -_-
So next time if I don't answer your phonecalls, I'll probably be having sex, 'cos it's more important / pleasurable than taking phonecalls.. Wahahahahaha!!!
Anyways.. Prince William was born on the 22 June.. so do we share the same interest???
-ahem-"

JASLIN: "Erm... Since Prince William born on 22 June.. I dun think he share same interest as u.. maybe Sobi's. And I purposely make it in pink, was worried that u see so many words dun wan to read.. but if scroll thru will at least see the pink points.. wahahaha~
Anyway... June 22 does not tells anything abt sex.. so.. not so sure if Prince William enjoys sex anot..
However... 22 June's baby: 靜思語 如果這輩子它不是你的，到了下輩子它絕對跑不掉的。 (If it's not yours to keep in this lifetime, it'll definitely be yours in the next) Erm.. Maybe u can wait till ur next life then? Cos.. obviously this life u two don't belongs together =p"

ME: "Wah, that is sooo encouraging, can't wait to die.."

JASLIN: "U are (gonna be) a vampire.. remember?? So... hmmmmm..."

ME: "No I quitted, remember??
Actually hor, If I'm a vampy also not bad.
I'll go bite Beckham, Prince William and Jay Chou.. Maybe if I get tired of them I'll go for... eh.. long list leh.. Brad Pitt, Ashton Kutcher.. blah and blah.. and Harry Potter (forgot his real name).. Muahahahaha!!!
Lastly, I'll bite Ronaldo and Van Nisterooy and then throw them into your bedroom.."

JASLIN: "Its okie... by that time.. I would had died or killed myself (b4 u could bite me too)... u can leave that two (Ronaldo & Van Nisterooy) to rot in my room... wahahaha~~~
And also.. if I was so unfortunate to be biten by u... then, i will send that two to the little town I was saying the other.. The police are trained in killing vampires!!! lalalalalala~~~"

ME: "Just thinking about it can be very funny liao leh..
Imagine what happens if I succeed in becoming a vampy, I think Jaslin will die laughing lor, or either train herself to be a slayer so she can kill/murder me, something which she cannot do in real life."
JASLIN: "Erm.. I will be Ghost Busters... or Ninja Turtles?? How about Power Rangers?? They all are here to Save The World..
World Peace~ =)"

The above will not make any sense unless you are also kinda flipped-out, like us. Think the fever is coming back. Fantastic, and everybody is falling sick, one after another.. ..

All he wants for Christmas

2007-11-14T13:32:00.000+08:00

Yo all!!!

Just thought I'd write some shit in here so you all know that I'm not dead.

Don't have much to say, except that the Hub reminded me that it's time to put up our Christmas tree but I refused plainly because I'm LAZY.
And since he mentioned, I casually asked what he would like to receive from Santa Claus a.k.a the-adorable-wife, for Christmas this year.. Nokia N95 8GB.

Guess he's getting tired of his Dopod already.

My dearest Baby.. what is your Mrs going to do? And you are so very 不客气 hor?!
Humf! An eye for an eye.. .. .. You jialat liao! I won't let you go easy either.. ..

Die
Dying
Dead, not yet but soon though.

There she goes..

2007-11-11T11:15:00.000+08:00

There she goes again.. .. .. ..

PaperGirls' clothes are getting pricier by the day. I wonder why..
But because Galsstreet doesn't update as frequently, so that leaves me with no alternative but to order from the former.

Green.
I hardly have any greens in my wardrobe. Another lame excuse..

2007-11-09T23:24:00.000+08:00

Couple of weeks ago, I was chatting with my parents over dinner. We talked about Durai with his golden tap that's flowing peanuts and I subtly mentioned about our local charity hero, Reverend Shi Ming Yi. (he, who has performed many, many stunts on television)

Me: "Since that Durai can have a golden tap, maybe that Ming Yi drives a Lamborghini.."

Bro: "Wahahaha! Ya hor.. they could be in the whole thing together.."

Dad: "Hey! He's a Venerable, very very holy and you all cannot say such things about him."

Me: "Aiyah! Say say only mah.. but really loh, who knows.."

Dad: "By saying such things, you will not hurt him but in return you are committing a sin."

Me: ".. .. .." -_-

And so, I didn't think much of that conversation again.

Suddenly and unexpectedly, the Thursday news reported that.. Ren Ci Hospital is now going through investigations for "financial irregularities".. Uh-oh... Conflict of interest...tsk tsk tsk

See, yours truely is so "zhoon" (accurate)
Come on lah, Pa.. want 4D number anot??

Our Drawers exposed

2007-11-06T14:55:00.000+08:00

Once again we had to do a little something in order to spice up our nothing but boring Tuesday, at work.
Especially when your ~~friend~~ colleague is not around.

I can't recall exactly who (Jaslin or me) started this drawer invasion game, but it kept us entertained for a quite while. Let's begin with the ladies..

Ms Au Manyi's

Ms Dawn Tan's

Ms Fion Lim's

Ms Jaslin Puah

Ms Jade Liu's

Ms Puah Sze Hwee's

Now, let's move on to the boys.

Mr Eddie Yee's

Mr Toh Poh Lee's

Mr Thapa Sobiram's

Mr Daniel Siah's

In addition, we couldn't tolerate Fion's drawer. It's just.. arghh! I mean Fion, you're a girl!! Anyway, look at what we did, it's so much better.

No offence but at least it looks neater now. Hehehehe!!

Vampires are getting to me

2007-11-05T11:28:00.000+08:00

Monday.. and I'm severely struck by the z-monster.

Sleep was intermittent over the weekend because I had horrible dreams for two consecutive nights.

Okay, let's begin with Friday.

I reached home totally bushed after a long day at work followed by some drinks with the usual clique at Archipelago. Took a quick shower and jumped straight into bed without even drying my hair.
I don't have an exact impression of what my nightmare were solely because they were made up of fragments of many different but short dreams. One of them involved a vampire or whatever it was. All I could recall was something had bit my neck so hard and it felt fugging real, sending shivers right down to my sole and I was awoken but couldn't move an inch of my body, not even lifted my finger..
And there I was, pinned to my position, staring at my bolster (I usually sleep on my side) in deafening silence until I slowly fell back to sleep.

Creepy huh?!

I woke up the next day and everything was normal. The first thing I did was to check the mirror for any marks on my neck and there wasn't. Hahahaha!! Freaking weird isn't it.

So, Saturday went on fine and I quickly forgot about the dream that I had.

But all was not over because I suffered from another bad dream.

I was in a house, somewhat unfamiliar and strange. There was this guy who was preparing a meal in the kitchen and I was observing him (I don't know why).
But I knew there was something a little wrong about the man in front of me and before anything else, his face began to change.
His features started to thaw bit by bit until all flesh was gone, leaving a bare skull.
That was when he opened his mouth in my face baring a pair of fangs… AND...

I woke up.

Horrible isn't it? This isn't the first time I've had bad dreams so real and it's pretty normal for me to be "pinned" to bed, unable to move although awake.

The Mom said that I should always talk about my bad dreams so it'll make me feel better and not be afraid about it thereafter.

Alright, told and written.

There were the times when vampire movies were all over the world like some kind of plague. Remember Queen of the Damned, Ven Heilsing, Underworld, and the classical Date with the Vampire series.. I swear I really wanted to be a vampire back then. BUT that was aeons ago, I re-iterate, AEONS ago.. people out-grow their fantasies, Okay?!

In recent years, I've quitted wanting to be a vampire.. BUT, after all the dreams & signs, I think they're coming. To bite me so that I can join them in the world of darkness and immortality.. Muahahahaha!!

Oops, Sorry.

something new.. again

2007-11-02T22:52:00.000+08:00

TGIF?!?!?!?!

2007-11-02T22:34:00.000+08:00

It's finally Friday!

It's now 10.30pm!!

I'm still working!!!

ARRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Settler's Cafe

2007-11-02T10:47:00.001+08:00

It was another one of those boring Thursdays in the office. In order to spice up our day a teeny weeny bit, we decided to drop by Settler's Cafe for dinner and some games.

An evening full of table-banging screams and laughter.

Amen

2007-10-30T19:26:00.000+08:00

Ha! The girls are on leave for three days, leaving me here in the office to self-entertain & self soothe should anything annoy me.

Anyway, have been super busy since Monday (yesterday) because Eddie keeps calling for me. Basically I'm doing 3 person's work. T_T
And because the girls are having their exams now, I'm trying my best to cover any urgent matters arising from their projects on top of my own work.

The two of you better pass with FLYING COLOURS, I'm warning you.

Argh! Got another Church project.
Jade = Holy Girl, Hallelujah!

Taipei - Oct'07

2007-10-26T15:08:00.000+08:00

The following pictures aren't even a quarter of all that was taken during this trip. We took a total of 616 photos, believe it or not. Just looking at the photos alone is making me tired, before I can even start uploading.

Day 1:
We headed to Shihlin Night Market on our first evening to get a taste of the popular taiwanese delights.

It is bread stuffed with chuncks of chicken, tuna, prawn, pork, pineapple, corn & porridge

Variety of all kinds of food such as: oyster mee-sua, smelly toufu & fried prawn omelete

Patiently queuing for the renowned Shilin's big-big chicken cutlet

This could've been a very nice photo if not for the f**king intruder. Notice the blurred background which makes the two of us 'stand out'..

Fion & her big big chicken cutlet

Day 2:
We took the Taipei MRT to Danshui (Tamsui) where located along the Danshui River is Danshui Old Street which offers tourists a wide selection of restaurants, arcades and stores specializing in traditional handicrafts. And this is where you find the well-known local specialties such as: Ah-ghey (crystal noodles stuffed in fried bean curd, served with a mild hot sauce) and Iron Eggs (eggs which have been stewed in a mix of herbs and spices until pickled).

After some walking, we took a ferry to Danshui Fisherman's Wharf, located further downstream from the town itself and offers a broadwalk, chic coffee shops, seafood restaurants, and is a departure point for tourist boats travelling along Taiwan's scenic northeast coast. The "Lover's Bridge", a single slanted tower cable stay pedestrain bridge, that is modelled after a sailing ship's mast and rigging, spans the harbour.

In the late afternoon, we proceeded to take the MRT to Xin Beitou (New Beitou) in a northern district of Taipei famous for it's hot springs. There are many hotels and traditional baths located around Qingshui Park (previously known as Xin Beitou Park). This park is located directly across from Xin Beitou MRT Station.

A natural spring where water gushes out from a gas hole and the tempreture is usually between 80 - 100 degree celsius.

Water from the hot spring is acidic, also known as green sulphur and users of the spring baths are advised against using soap with the spring water.

Due to the strong stench of sulphur

Dinner was Yong Kang beef noodles and dessert was Mango Ice situated along Yong Kang Street. To get there, we took the MRT to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall Station followed by a 20 minutes walk to the mentioned street. But it was all worth it because the food was superb.

Day 3:

Was a day of frenzy shopping at Taipei's apparel wholesale market, Wu Fen Pu. A market place where clothes for the young and old are sold at drop-dead cheap prices. However, individual customers or tourists may sometimes be rejected because the majority are buyers who purchase in bulk. (Nearest MRT is Hou Shan Pi Station).

By the time we ended our shopping at Wu Fen Pu, it was already near sunset. Once again, we took the MRT to Taipei City Hall Station and from there, we took a shuttle bus to Taipei 101 Building.

At Taipei 101, in order to get to the Observatory at level 89, we were required to purchase tickets costing NT350 each.

Day 4:
Need I say more? We went to Taipei Zoo!

Coming home.

Checking in at the airport, total baggage weight was nearly 20kg. To think that I went with a mere 3.5kg luggage.

That rounds up my 4D3N trip to Taipei. Loved it, will definitely go there again.

More clothes

2007-10-25T11:19:00.000+08:00

New arrivals from Galsstreet.. and I'm spending again.

I just came back from Taiwan and you may ask, haven't you bought enough? The answer is No, I didn't buy much because of the weather there I could barely find clothes appropriate for our local climate.

Loads of excuses.. Duh.

me is back

2007-10-24T01:16:00.000+08:00

(Waaah!!! Screaming multiple orgasms)

Feeling awfully tired but absolutely impressed by ourselves.

Being 2 girls on their "virgin" trip to Taipei free & easy and for being able to find our ways to many places, including the zoo.

*wide grin*

Countless photos were taken and they will be uploaded soon. For now, just let me flaunt the most extravagant item bought during this trip.

Coach wristlet, in Hot Pink!! Smashing cute can!

Okay.. more photos, in fact a lot more photos will be up soon.
Going to sleep. Zzzz..zzZ.. -_-

Bon Voyage

2007-10-20T12:28:00.001+08:00

I'm Flying off in the next hour!!

Bye Singapore!

Hello Taiwan!!!

p/s: Take care Jaslin.. please get well soon.

>.<

Sony Ericsson K810i

2007-10-19T11:38:00.000+08:00

Yayness! New phone.. I love the red colour, it is so pretty!!
My Nokia N80 has officially retired. It now serves me as an alarm clock and as a spare phone.

Camera testing.. hmm.. 3.2 mega pixels, not too bad.

Posing with my new phone.. haha! Show off!

sibeh sian

2007-10-18T12:25:00.000+08:00

Played 3 rounds of mahjong with the Hub and 2 other friends till 5am, Thursday morning. But it's all worth it because me won $350.00. Loud Laughter!

The cards kept flooding in to a point that I couldn't control but had to do the 5-tai 自摸 combo again and again and again and again and again.. .. ..

And I just realised that my N80 is beginning to die on me.. So my winnings may come into good use after all.
With only 2 hours of sleep and another meeting to attend later in the afternoon, I don't know how long I can hold. Super hungry and stoned now.

On a depressing note, my beloved Director had to choose such a wonderful day to talk to me. Saying things like he very much wanted to pass me a few projects BUT ES strongly suggests that I should concentrate on doing Visioncrest FA.
Conclusion? The projects will only come in next year.

F*** YOU lah!

Have I not been diligent?
Have I screwed up any of my jobs before?
Have I not done my projects to the best of my ability?

And what do I get for all the efforts put in? NOTHING = NAUGHT = ZERO = NON-EXISTENCE.
So now I realise why everyone wanted to get out of Visioncrest and that was the reason they employed me because nobody wanted to do it anymore.
I was here not only to be the "shit-picker" but now the "shit-eater"

VISIONCREST, YOU ARE A FUCKING HINDRANCE TO MY CAREER, MY PROGRESS.

Maybe it's time..
To let go.

2 Days

2007-10-17T16:26:00.000+08:00

They've been complaining that my countdown timer is inaccurate. It's because the timer counts the days regardless of what time your event is taking place. Ok fine.. Whatever.. Not in the best mood to explain further.

Anyway, in 2 days I'll be embarking on my trip to Taipei and as of now, I totally do not have the spirit to work.

Just a couple of nights ago, the Hub and I were chatting before turning in. He seemed rather disapproving towards my curiousity in wanting to try out the hotsprings in Taiwan quoting the reason that it is not 'safe' and that the bathrooms will probably be full of pin-hole cameras aiming at ladies taking showers.

Me: "Aiyah! Don't think too much lah. When they realise they got me, they would probably delete the video within split second speed and then "dis-infect" their system with Norton Anti-Virus over and over again."

He almost wanted to kick me out of bed..

O_o Gua gua..

Cam-whoring in the office..

And we realised that everyone is counting together with us..

It is ...

2007-10-16T12:26:00.000+08:00

Buffet full day

2007-10-12T15:53:00.000+08:00

13th October 2007, Saturday.
Everything is happening on the same day but for different reasons.

1. Cousin's baby shower celebration, buffet starting from 12.00pm onwards
2. Colleague's housewarming party, buffet starting from 11.30am onwards
3. Colleague's 21st birthday celebration, buffet starting from 6.30pm onwards..

How?
Actually there's no difficulty at all and the choice is easy. *wicked laugh, mua-ha-ha-ha-ha*
I'll have to skip item 2 because the invitation came in way too late, sorry hor.

And.. all ordered buffet leh!
Me will probably be eating fried rice, fried beehoon and curry chicken, sweet sour meat, etc etc.. for the entire day..

Great.. just too great

-_-"

Little Red Riding Hood

2007-10-12T14:01:00.000+08:00

was walking through the woods when suddenly the Big Bad Wolf jumped out from behind a tree and, holding a sword to her throat, said, "Red, I'm going to screw your brains out!"

To that, Little Red Riding Hood calmly reached into her picnic basket and pulled out a ...44 magnum and pointed it at him and said, "No, you're not.You're going to eat me, just like it says in the book."

New Arrivals!!!

2007-10-10T18:07:00.000+08:00

- POST DELETED BY AUTHOR -

Boy or Girl

2007-10-10T11:44:00.000+08:00

Looking at the photos which I received through an email this morning, I feel extremely sorry for the boys. Trained to be drags at such a tender young age.

What were the parents thinking? OMG.. This is so freaking cruel. Just imagine how the kids would feel upon reaching their adolescent years and whenever they look back at their childhood they would probably be thinking, "Hmm, since mom & dad prefers having daughters.. then maybe we should just continue being their daughters forever and ever.."

See lah.. another deprived childhood leading to..you know you know.

I'm not prejudiced against any sexuality but these kids should be given a chance to spend their childhood normally (being a boy) and with regards to whether they will grow up to be a normal man would be much of their own choice, not the parents.

"Somebody" ate my gummy

2007-10-09T11:18:00.000+08:00

You know how terrible it feels to realise that there is a sneaky-being among your colleagues. Because not only did this person take my stuff without permission, but he/she also consumed what was mine. OMFG.

What pisses me off the most is the person's actions, not just a matter of losing my gummy. Argh!

The gummies were given to me by another friendly colleague. To be honest, I wasn't very keen to try them so I left the duo sitting on my desk for the past few days. Until yesterday that I curiously opened one of them to test my endurance for sour-ness. And I realised it was too sour for me to take so I left the other piece alone.

But that dosen't mean he/she can eat it for me. What if I've left both of them untouched.. would that mean he/she will conveniently take both? OMFG!

And to further aggravate the matter, the culprit discarded the wrapper in my waste-paper basket, as if trying to prove his/her arrogance.

Wah piang eh!

Is it just a Bad Day?

2007-10-08T13:04:00.000+08:00

Everyday is a new day, everyday is a new beginning. But definitely not Monday 'cos it kills.
Almost everything went wrong this morning.

I woke up at nearly 9 o'clock and of course I'm late, nothing new though.

Stuck a note beside my bag last night, to remind myself to pay Galsstreet for the clothes: "$66.70 POSB Saving xxx-xxxxx-x" but I ended up forgetting that piece of note.

Stood in-front of the ATM machine while I called Jaslin for Galstreet's account number but the stupid machine refused to perform funds transfer despite multiple attempts.

Walked around in desperate need of another ATM machine.

Hailed a cab to office again.. Nothing extraordinary, just that it made me realise how wealthy I am. To think that I take a taxi to work everyday. -DUH-

Stepped into the partition, again everyone was unusually quiet probably because it's Monday.
As I sat there minding my own stuff, I thought to myself..
Why am I here?
How long will I last?
Who are my friends?
Who are my colleagues?
Do they care?

Does my life seem too perfect to an extent where nobody.. and absolutely no one ever pays any attention..
Or I simply do not deserve it.
Must your friends break down and cry before you realise something is bothering them?

Argh! What the Fuck.

Have a "good" day ahead.

Oops I did it again

2007-10-06T21:06:00.000+08:00

After a night of mahjong that ended at 6 o'clock this morning, I held back my sleep until nearly 10am.

Ask me why? Because I was waiting for Galsstreet's Saturday morning's updates.

Maybe I deserve be killed, because nothing's able stop me and even though I tried abstaining from the luring websites, I again surrendered to temptations.

In addition, I just realise that my perfect partner in crime has also done it again.

My heart goes sha-la la la la..

Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to Fion, Jeff and PohLee..

Really really paiseh leh.

We shouldn't have dragged you guys along especially when you don't play mahjong.

Does anybody know

2007-10-04T12:33:00.000+08:00

what Nokia "di-di-dit dah-dah di-di-dit" ringtone for short messages means?

It's actually Morse Code for sms!!

I HAD NO IDEA! For I've always thought it was too loud and very "ah beng".

I only learnt about it from somebody's blogs. Read up more on morse codes.

dit-dah dah-dah dit-dah dah-dah-di-dit di-dit dah-dit dah-dah-dit
(amazing!)

I'm going to learn morse code.

It is sooo painful

2007-10-03T15:08:00.000+08:00

Countdown: 16 Days!!! Oh We can’t wait..

Just when I thought I've successfully kicked the habit of online shopping after going through the cold-turkey treatment, a horrible horrible friend sent me pictures of the swee-swee taiwanese models AGAIN!!! (You know who you are, Jxxxxn)

Seriously, I've neither thought of nor visited ''The Websites" since last Friday. So right now I'm painfully lamenting Galsstreet for not uploading their latest arrivals quick enough, if there're any.

See, all your fault lah.

And you don't even let me go to Taipei's zoo.. To make matters worse, you even set up a poll.

(cries): oh.. everything is so horrible...

papa, the taxi driver

2007-10-03T11:08:00.000+08:00

The cab ride to work this morning wasn't very pleasant and it also stirred some emotions in me.

Because I was later than late, I didn't have time to walk to the ATM for cash withdrawal. I asked the driver whether he would accept NETS payment before boarding which he answered with a nod and a "有".
Upon reaching my office, he asked whether I want to drop at an ATM to withdraw some cash..

I almost wanted to scream at him can.. "Hallo Uncle?? I asked whether you accept NETS and now you want me to drop somewhere and withdraw cash to pay you?! You okay anot?!?!!"

But I refrained from doing so because I could almost visualize Papa being the driver.. and I started to wonder where he would be, now..

You see, Pa is now a cabbie driver.

I don't know why but I'm getting rather upset at the thought of my dearest father encountering nasty passengers who might "bully" him. Argh!
I'm now the most concerned member of the family and am constantly asking about his day, asking about his passengers...
Actually, part of me still prefers Pa to work in his ex-company rather than being a cabbie driver.

Okay, i'm acting up again..

If only I can make plenty of money, I'll ask Pa & Mdm Chong to stop working once and for all.. But *sigh* If Only.

Something that I've been telling him, repeatedly..
"老豆，please don't let anyone take advantage of you hor.. Customers are not always right you know."

Oh... 世上只有爸妈好。。。

xoxoxoxo
Jade, the emo girl

tsk i dunno

2007-09-28T03:53:00.000+08:00

Whenever Hub's not home, I get this temporary insomnia and I dread it.
And it's like 3.55am already can?.. "tsk".

ANYWAY, just because I am tired but can't get to sleep, I shall post some of my extremely random thoughts and I mean really driftless & disordered thoughts.

A Taiwanese variety show reported that J.Lo hired a 'special' assistant to tweak her nipples before any shoot so that her breasts will look ~~better~~ perkier on screen. "Nipple Pincher"... ahem.

Looking forward to our Taipei trip, my first time sharing a room with Jaslin. *Shy*

Fion said too much alchohol the night before causes her stomach to bloat like a helium inflated balloon and she cannot eat fried noodles.

Eddie is very stress.

Had McSpicy meal for dinner, couldn't finish my fries though.

Eddie is uber stress.

Saw an Indian man smooching his handphone in the MRT this morning.. very ew.. ewww..ew.

XX and ZhenRong, blog, shoot, whatever, again..

Wan Zi Liang has gone totally bonkers. Maybe even start calling himself "Tong Zi Liang" or "Shuo Zi Liang". Okay, it's lame.. sorry.

Timetable for tomorrow, NM NM NM NM NM NM NM NM NM and more NM NM NM NM NM NM... NM.. NM.. Zzz.. zzzZ..zz... zz -_-

Good ~~Night~~ Morning..

so you got it the easy way out

2007-09-26T11:21:00.000+08:00

Everyone within the Team received EY's sms this morning, "We need 2 issue by Monday 2 reprice 4 NM". Initially called as a Lump Sum Contract and the Client(s) are now asking for a detailed Bills of Quantities.

Which we should all drop to our knees and start to pray:
Our Father in heaven, Holy be Your name
Your Kingdom comes, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven
Gives us this day, our daily bread
Forgive us our sins (gossiping about xxx) as we forgive those (xxx) who sinned against us
Do not put us to the test (NM) but deliver us from evil (xxx)

I am sure that some people must be praising God every day and night thanking the fact that they refused to take over NM.
Some people are not just born with a silver spoon in their mouths but also an abundance of "good fortune" which could probably last their whole lifetime on earth, or probably even in the next.

“别人的生命，是黄金又包银，
我们的生命不值钱"

For the benefit of those who don't quite understand the above quote, it was extracted from a Hokkien song which means something like:

"Other's life are like gold wrapped with silver
Our lifes are not even worth a dime"

Shopaholic's obsession

2007-09-24T12:05:00.000+08:00

You know you are becoming a maniac when,

- you check PaperGirls webby on Friday and there are no updates.
- you check PaperGirls webby on Saturday and there are still no updates.
- you start muttering "tsk.. why take so long" to yourself
- you check PaperGirls webby on Sunday morning and there are still no updates.
- you check PaperGirls webby on Sunday afternoon and there are.. no updates.
- you start to feel faint and breathless..
- you check PaperGirls webby on Sunday night and ... still no.
- you lose sleep...
- you check PaperGirls webby on Monday morning and STILL NO UPDATES..!!
- you feel like lodging a damn feedback to PaperGirls complaining that you have no more clothes to wear and they should update their new arrivals EVERYDAY!!!!

Similarly, Apply the above to Galsstreet..

*panting.. with anger.

That's when you realise that you are getting way out of hand, out of control..

shoplah ostracized

2007-09-21T15:49:00.000+08:00

For compulsive online shoppers especially those like Jaslin and maybe me, here's a word of caution further to my previous entry "roarrrr". --> NEVER buy from ShopLah.

I'm not being childish nor being petty, I was just too annoyed by their unworthiness and lousy attitude.
Warning: It's going to be very lengthy..

Using my MSN, Missy Fion gave everything a headstart just because ShopLah still owes her one piece of blouse that was suppose to be delivered one week ago, which means they are extremely delayed.

And so these ShopLah people went on being intensely rigid and inflexible with their terms and conditions. As you would have already noticed, they kept on repeating themselves despite many questions asked.

Missy Fion soon got too pissed to continue the conversation with them, so Missy Jade took over from here..

MISSY ™ =Þ says:
you are out doing a service. You expect your customers to return any defected items to you within 7 days not 7 working days; whereas you (shoplah) are allowed to deliver your items counting only the working days..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
thus, i can foresee.. if we return the defected item to you by today, you will take ANOTHER several WORKING days to deliver..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
can your customers have any expectations of yuo?
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
*you?
ShopLah! says:
items sent overseas to singapore is not like within local address
ShopLah! says:
if you receive your items with any defect
ShopLah! says:
you shld inform and send us back immediately for exchange
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
postage should not be borne by us.. we paid for postage and did not ask to receive anything that is spoilt in any way. In fact, you should check the items before sending them out to your customers. That's what I call due diligence.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
and responsibilty
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
say if you did a check prior to mailing the clothes to your customers, this would not have happened.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
you would also have saved the trouble of having to send the items back to the supplier..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so, what good does this whole episode give me?
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
I am a customer of yours, I trusted your website and so i placed orders, not only for myself but my friends too.. and this has to happen..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
we are not asking for free gains, we PAID. And we are now just asking for what rightfully should be ours.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Tell us, is there anything better than this that you can offer us, at this moment?
ShopLah! says:
i have already said if the item is defective
ShopLah! says:
you can send us the item back
ShopLah! says:
if not you can come down to the addres stated bet ween 9.30pm to 11.00pm.. i will be around
ShopLah! says:
do note that the item tag must not be removed...
ShopLah! says:
if it is removed, we cant do any exchange for you

See how they continue repeating the same replies.. Ya lah I know, cannot remove tag, must return within 7 days.. whatever the f**k

MISSY ™ =Þ says:

Okay, if you say so. I believe today is the last day for exchange. I will make the trip down to return that piece. Will you compensate my transportation and time loss? Even if I have mailed the piece out immediately upon receipt, would you have paid for my postage then? If not, then can I have an immediate exchange by today?
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Just because you are making me spend more than what was needed to buy that piece of blouse.
ShopLah! says:
already mentioned
ShopLah! says:
exchange is not on the spot
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Just because you are making me spend more than what was needed to buy that piece of blouse.
ShopLah! says:
you can choose to come down on send us back
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Will you compensate my transportation and time loss?
ShopLah! says:
sory we dont
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
then what else can you do to make things better?
ShopLah! says:
there will be no compensation or whatsoever
ShopLah! says:
there will only be an exchange to a new piece if the item is defective
ShopLah! says:
please send the item back by today... or you can come down and pass us the item
ShopLah! says:
but exchange is not on the spot
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
So are you implying that all that has happened and it's just too bad. And I just have to take it or leave it.
ShopLah! says:
you do not seem to understand what i have wriiten
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
I understand you totally.. you dun understand me
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
because all these, I didn't ask for. And I have to spend more money to get back a proper blouse
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
and on top of the blouse's price that i paid, i have to pay for my own cab fare to get to Tampines
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
and you are telling me that there's NOTHING you can do about that
ShopLah! says:
we did not ask you to take a cab
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so I take a bus <-- I thought maybe it'll be fun to annoy them back..
ShopLah! says:
if you are asking for any compensation
ShopLah! says:
then we are sorry there isnt any
ShopLah! says:
we only exchange
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
i need to spend money to take buses too...
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
i am not asking for any monetary compensation from you,.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
BUT i want an immediate exchange by today, not necessarily the same top
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
whatever you may have at the same price
ShopLah! says:
sorry nope
ShopLah! says:
you took a long time to send the item back
ShopLah! says:
it not our fault as well
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
because even if i posted it back, i need money to purchase a stamp.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
you wouldn't pay for my postage too, would you?
ShopLah! says:
well if it is defective we do not mind pay your postage <--- they gave up. Haha!
ShopLah! says:
it doesnt cost much at all
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
oh.. finally.. .. thought you would stand by your "there will be no compensation or whatsoever".."do note that the item tag must not be removed..." blah blah blah.. anyway the blouse came missing a button thus i cannot wear it. So it's a defect.
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
so you are willing to compensate my postage costs..
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
Great!
ShopLah! says:
please ensure the tag is intact thank you
MISSY ™ =Þ says:
but now, i dun think i want to exchange anymore. That piece is not worth much anyway. See you in STOMP!

See what i mean, one button missing. And though I asked for a small size, the sleeve opening of this blouse is helluva humongous. Look at how it fits these skinny models flawlessly... http://www.shoplah.com/Tops/K988.htm.
Right and the saying goes, "never believe just what you see online and purchase at your own risk". I know all that and that's why I'm not going to exchange it because I'm not going to wear it at all.

Hahaha.. and I know Fion and Jaslin can't wait to read this. Anyway, I've already posted our story on STOMP.. It may just be published soon..
