and so.... over the weekend, had a literally bright idea to suss out interior ideas in the flesh.
Showflats.
What better way to look at fixtures, fittings and floorings all carefully laid out? Tons apparently, as determined agents thwarted my best laid plans hmph.
Didn't manage to go very far before my plan fell awry, no thanks to the laughter I could not hold back.

| my pink and green throne |
[26 Jan 2010|12:14am] |
Times have changed. As much as I hate to admit it, I've become one of those who never fail to ask sickening questions like 'how much did your house cost', 'how much did you spend on reno' etc... passage of time perhaps or really being one of the joneses.
anyway, am posting this to remember how it looked but how excited I was to discover that there's a unit within my grasp!
the throne of my throne
my walk-in-wardrobe-that's-never-meant-to-be...
my weirdly shaped long kitchen
the kitchen cabinets which I daren't open
the sink and cooker hood reminscent of toa payoh block 86, 'my first flat'
and hmmm.... the butt clencher of a squatting toilet, again reminscent of toa payoh block 86 and clementi block 406.
and the oddly placed chute, which... I don't think anyone coming out from the loo would relish seeing... unless its bad smells unite

my mum's so cute.. was lying on bed watching Triple and she came in and said that she bought beer..
Told her I didn't want to drink and she said she bought heineken instead of carlsberg but I wasn't interested
And she still came in to bring me the heineken.

| Smell the Alexandria |
[10 Jan 2010|04:01pm] |
So stayed over at the fullerton for a glee marathon (to eil: yes.. k-dramas are a no-no but c is very much a gleeful fan)
wish I had a ultra-great voice so that I can entertain myself singing.
would like to say that we took tons of pix but no, the camera did not see the light of day at all. another new year resolution.
Realised that I'm actually a huge tea fan - I think I drank 5 cups of tea in the span of one night. TWG's teas are wrapped in cotton bags, sorry - no biggie to most but novelty to me. Feel like buying Alexandria tea to stuff in the corners of my cupboard so that I can smell fragrant and minty all the time.

Wow... I'm in my last year of my twenties! It feels the same yet scary at the same time..
I'm a.... full-fledged woman!
Wanted to take leave today, but long story short - it didn't happen.
Would love a rehash of my 28th, going to Forest Adventure with Charme and Cher but this time round, it would be the Sentosa one. Well, will save it for my 30th then.
I'm 29!

have to say that i really like jeanette aw, her sweet face is really growing on me. It's like she's conventionally pretty but special. and i like her sweet sad shows too, where she's always the downtrodden heroine.

can't believe that another year has flown past! only hit me when I created a new work folder.. and shifted the Jan-Dec files into a 2009 folder while creating a new 2010 one. Gosh!
Wearing my new red skirt as an auspicious start to the new year. Not so auspicious, hitching said skirt up to mid-thigh to sit on c's bike. Again not so auspicious when the now very tight skirt pinches my complacent flesh to a create a muffin-thigh.
Here's to a great start.

sinking sinking feeling in the pit of stomach, brought about by work woes and how opps are lost and are hanging over your head. not a nice start to a friday at all.
wish that I can handle bad days without feeling dismal; can anyone ever sail through life?

so ran the race and died afterward.. the last 5 km were a killer.. 1 km passssssssssssssed so very slowly.
and the right knee is busted and ankles are wobbly
I execute a scissor move whenever i need to pick things off the floor; spreading feet wide apart so that I'll be closer to the floor.
Suze and I walk real gingerly as we navigate the hallways of the office. tiger balm is salve|saviour for the body and soul.

was just ranting about work and twas good to get it off chest.. sorry have to do it here too.
i dont actually hate work. it's monotonous sometimes but i only drag my heels on Monday, the rest of the days I simply spray my Scholl footspray and slip my feet into black flats and try to make to work before 9.30.
But maybe the past few weeks have been shit. I know c has been going through worse but I guess I have a lower threshold. But perhaps today I just snapped.
And I believe or hope I said it all in a reasonable way - I just need to write it down again to note my anger. Cos I was seriously pissed.
And I know its an effing small thing but I think it's a buildup of the previous weeks and my immense displeasure with her and I was completely in... i don't know; denial, feeling incredulous and indignant.
She said that I was too quiet and that the office was too quiet and I have to speak up more cos I have to somehow, I don't know --- set a precedent for the rest.
Which I thought was utter bollocks. Granted, I am a quiet person but she doesnt know that when she leaves the office, we all become resurrected dolls.
And so, I asked, that's cos we can't play music... which in my books, would be an instant office perker but no... it distracts us from listening and learning from other people. Hmm... which is why most of us turned to listening to only one earbud, *** forbid that we become decrepit oldies with listening difficulties later on in life.
Which obviously still would detract us from learning from each other, in a way... i can only wonder..
So... music is banned cos the floors above us don't listen to music, even though they may have greater music collections than us, but no, that's another story altogether, we simply have to conform.
I think that just sparked the whole thing off.
I got super pissed cos she was simply pointing out all the off points, while wanting us to be moulded in her form, and not appreciating that we all have different strengths and if we all became like each other, I would be 55 before my time.
Simply said, poor choice of words were passed, words that I can't retract and I kinda regret in lieu of mounting debts.
But enough of a rant, I have to live and let learn. And keep me teochew eyes real peeled.

think the chinese/asian in me is really inherent, have realised that the things i tend to like, are generally created by asians.

| i love decembers! |
[18 Nov 2009|11:16pm] |
I love the cold. But only when I'm nicely ensconced in my sweater in my house. The wind's blowing through the living room windows. And brings with it the cool cool promise of december.
Work's been bleurgh..
Am SERIOUSLY beginning to see the light, the B-light and my b-side, hopefully come next year.
Will have to try some new stuff now!!!, now that school (crossing my fingers) have ended and I don't feel the weight of it at the back of my head.

So... c's friend met with an accident. a serious one.
a really sobering thought because he possibly may not be able to walk.
too sudden - and I dont even know him well! Met him all of one time but I feel wretched for him, definitely a very very very hard pill to swallow.

always wondered why people would buy cds of pop hits.. like 6 months too late and now I realise why..
Am watching tv and I'm like glancing, who's this new singer, peering like ken lim through me lowered glasses and I'm like hmmm.... ok song, and its a compilation of hits they are promoting
Hmm... there's miley cyrus singing bout being in the US of A and me bobbing like a geriatric in the background
And it dawned on me! I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE TARGETING!
The out-of-touch-coming-to-the-mid-life-person-who-cant-spell-olivia-pal****-without-backspacing person... sheesh
am going to catch Ms Miley on YouTube now.
