Response of a 3-year-old

Oh no! I posted an incomplete video of this cute cute fella, you must watch again. This is complete. Love the end bit!!!

Waiting for tomorrow to come.

Tomorrow is a day off for all my company's staff (if a public holiday falls on a Saturday, Friday automatically becomes a day off).

Why?
Because my company believes that we deserve to enjoy the public holiday. However, if we don't work on Saturdays anyway, how to enjoy? So, they replace it on Friday lor.

Anyway, I've been hanging out with one of my colleagues quite a bit lately, she's this 50++ I think. A secretary. Let's give her a name - HL

HL: CC, I went to the wedding expo at KLPAC on Sunday. Was thinking of calling someone to come along with me. Aiyah, I should have called you lah. You're at a 'marriagable age'!

CC: (sweat) Haha... Oh, izzit? Erm, so, what's in the wedding expo?

HL: Many things. I went because of my son & daughter. Both of them might be tying the knot within these few years. Oh, do you know, now they are offering photo packages like "Hong Kong", "Bali", "Taiwan"...

CC: (cutting her off) Oh... I know... I know... Those backdrops with Hong Kong or Bali scenery izzit?

HL: (eyes big big) No no no... you FLY TO Hong Kong, Bali etc to TAKE PICTURES.

CC: (eyes big big) Did your children sign up for that?

HL: Yea, my son gave deposit already.

CC: (eyes still big big) You mean photoshoot, accomodation, airfare etc included?

HL: Haha... No, just the photographer's fee.

CC: (blink) (silence) (blink again). Ahem, HL, I have work to do, talk to you later, k? Thanks anyway.

Back at my cubicle, I have only one thought in my mind - THAT PACKAGE GOOD MEH?

Omg, so cute! I'll marry the guy who will do this to me.

Human is so far behind when it comes to courting the opposite sex. Sigh... I wanna be a bird.

Ok. I told myself one video per day. But sigh, I can't help it. This is too funny.

Very weird... Love the last part.

Ahhh... Saved by the...

Hot spring.

Went for a long soak last Sunday.
And, soothed my achy-breaky bones right away.

But hey, how come my baju so oily one?
SHOOT! Don't tell me... the uncle in front of me...
Argh, maybe 42 degree celcius caused his body fats to leak out!

Sigh... Wonderful experience nonetheless.




NOTE: Please bathe yourself thoroughly after each visit.

Bitchitude 101

The six prominent ones that I've met so far.

Flower-mouth bitch:
A bitch who loves language and that includes some word choices that a few of you categorize as foul.

Bicker bitch:
A bitch who adores freedom of speech, but only speak freely behind people's backs!

Heartless bitch:
A bitch who says, "I don't have the time and interest to cater to your needs. I have enough worries of my own. Sh*t, my toenail's chipped!"

Gesture bitch:
A bitch who wishes to have more middle fingers.

Never indebted bitch:
A bitch who thinks the world owes her, well, the world.

Master of all bitches:
A.k.a the 'I'm the greatest gift to mankind' bitch.

I want the sun.

Bumped into an ex-colleague yesterday.
"Wah, you're so fair dy."
"Haha... really? Maybe because I hardly come out from the office nowadays."

My mum told me "一白遮三丑" --- loosely translated as 'a white complexion is powerful enough to hide three times of ugliness'. Sigh, unfortunately, instead of feeling fair & beautiful, I feel I'm just more 'pale' from the late nights and crazy workload.

Anyway, it's midnight (hear the old grandpa clock chiming?) And thank God, approval was finally given. This would be the earliest night for me to get an approval for my work, this entire week.

Can go home dy. Happy sigh...
Hope I catch a glimpse of sunset tomorrow.
Haven't seen it for a month. That thought makes me sick.

Break the silence.

Chinese New Year was sooooo good.
So much so that I don't really wanna come back to KL anymore.

Not that I benci anyone here.
But I dread work.

Yesterday, I worked till this morning.
Due date is Thursday.

Why did I stretch myself like that?
I donno, fear of rejection I guess.

My squashed brain and tired body shout "Surrender"!
But something inside of me whispers "Hang on".

At 2am this morning. I talked to a friend.
Very wise indeed. She said that if I'm so scared that I can't perform well in what I'm doing, it only means this: "Deep down, you really love what you're doing".

Sorry, defeat. Not this time.


Here's what Daniel N. Nelson has to say:
"Defeat is being compelled to alter behavior to one's own detriment.
Rather than imposed by others' strength, defeat can occur without war or an opponent.
Defeat ultimately is self-failure - the symptoms of which are an irreparable imbalance between perceived or real threats and socioeconomic, political and military capacities.
In that regard, defeat is the utter breakdown of individual, community, or national security."


Anyway, silence is a good recovery. To all who follows my blog.
If I'm silent. Don't worry. I'm merely taking a healing break from work and life.

But blogging will continue. Because life goes on.

The day the dam broke.

In case you wonder why I didn't blog.

Stupid gay colleague suddenly went crazy and threw threats at me just because I haven't had the time to look at his brief.

First sign of disaster - Water level rose to uncontrollable level.

SC (stupid colleague): Are you ok?
Me: No! Why are you being so difficult? (Trying to choke back my tears but failed)

Me: It's not that I don't want to read your job brief. (Gasping for breath, choking on tears) I have no time! I slept 3 hrs today and (Gasping for breath, choking on tears) came in to work by 9am because I can't finish my job.

Why are you threatening me? What did I do wrong? I'm actually quite easy to work with already. What do you want from me?

-SILENCE-

SC: Yea. You're right. It's just me. I'm so sorry! Sorry sorry. (Slowly walking away from me) Please forgive me.

[Flood continued terrorising my face for the next 30 minutes.
I had to hide in toilet.]

SC walked into my room again at 10:30am.
"Hey, I'm actually not that nasty one. We can talk if you want, k?"
If I'm not a Christian, you'll see me waving my longest finger at him.


Sigh. Approval for my job (I've been working on it since Monday) only came at 5pm just now.
Unfortunately, a lot of new jobs piled up.
Need to work from home during weekend.


FACT
Girls are usually more 'emo' (emotional) when they don't get enough sleep.

Lessons to be learnt
1. Sometimes, even man can have PMS-like symptoms (sudden anger & irrational behaviour).
2. Don't mess with someone who can really cry.

Tsunami-ed

Dreadful amount of work.
18 hours of suffocation (more to come).
Anticipated rejection.

I need a break. =(

Out of the Blue

Where in the world did that come from?

Yesterday, I was happily heading to my dinner location when something really unpredictable came my way.

I got a call from the most unexpected person.
This person then asked me the most unexpected question.
My reaction was of course unexpected.

What is the full story I won't reveal, let's just say that someone is interested in hiring me and sort of asked me to name my price.

Was I tempted? Very. But I didn't tell him how much I'm worth. Haha.
I can always freelance, right? =)

Moral of the Story?
It feels good to be wanted.


Oh Lord, I can feel your blessing. Happy weekend everyone!

Are you feeling lucky?

Normally, when people say, "I'm so lucky", I'll say something along the lines of "I'm so blessed". I don't think it's about being politically correct just because I'm a Christian but rather I really believe that someone else really wanna bless me with something or someone and all these 'good things' are not my own doing.

I came across an interesting article written by Professor Richard Wiseman who has been studying 'luck' for 13 years. This is what he has to say about it:

"Unlucky people are generally more anxious than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected.

As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else.

They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends.

They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs."


To a certain extent, I agree with what he has to say. Suddenly this made a bit more sense:

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek.

For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble"


I'm not saying what Professor Richard Wiseman said is be all and end all or the ultimate proof that it's not luck that governs the outcome of our life.

Rather, what I want to put across is this comforting thought that by not worrying we won't miss out on better things that lie ahead of us, freely given by Someone who sees our needs.

Even Moses can't beat this one.

I'm not talking about parting the Red Sea here. It's FREEZING the wave that I'm talking about. Seriously, this is madness.

Then again, it could be just a normal frozen glacier. Nonetheless, it's still impressive. I'll like to take pictures with one of these someday. =)

Raining mucus

Gonna be on MC today. Thank you, doc.

Just for the fun of it.

I lurve blue M&Ms. It just tastes better. Haha... Don't know if it's psychological or what, but yea, they really do taste better (well, to me at least).

Found out that you can create your own M&M character on this website - http:www.becomeanmm.com

So cool eh? I've created an orange colour Ciss M&M. Don't think it looks like me. But it's not my fault, THAT'S BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ANY LONG STRAIGHT HAIR AVAILABLE FOR ME TO CHOOSE!




Everyone, say hello to The One, The Only Ciss the Orange!

Life's Bliss

A Summary of My Working World This Week - it's a DOG'S life

Day before day before yesterday - Dreadful
Day before yesterday - Horrendous
Yesterday - Nightmarish

Today - Jubilee.
Finally can sleep soundly tonight.



It's the case of a young lady in advertising struggling to come up with an ad that her boss is happy with. Sigh... tragic. You won't believe how unbelievably, really, truly, extremely, undoubtedly, unquestionably,incredibly, superbly, very happy I am now when she finally gives her nod of approval.

Sometimes I wonder why we (generally) look up to them so much.

Discounts!

Just got an email from GSC. They're giving me a complimentary ticket for any movie coz my birthday is coming up! Woohoo!

I know there are a few other places or services that offer birthday discounts or vouchers, e.g. Digi Prepaid (50% birthday bonus) & Giordano. So I can get the most out of MY DAY. Haha.

Anywhere else offers birthday bonuses/discounts/perks/goodies?

Thursday = Friday

Sweet. Weekend just got a day closer for me.

Company has declared tomorrow as a holiday because Saturday is Awal Muharram (I donno what has that gotta do with anything, it's not like I work on Saturdays either! Haha. But they call it a replacement holiday. So, oh well...)

Anyway, I'm not complaining. ANY holiday is welcomed, whatever the reason.

Ahh... life is sweet. Time to book appointment for a new hairdo & facial (while the rest of the world is still working!) WUAHAHAHAHA...

Love my company. What a brilliant boss I have.

No oomph...

Energy zapped.

Can't think.

Good night.
