Fight Sleepie Monster

Trying to fight the sleepie monster the whole of this afternoon... well at least from the time Darcy called till now.

Some things i do to try and fight the keep the sleepie monster away :

1. Walked up and down the office in the pretense of being busy.

2. Drink more water.

3. Email friends, colleagues and ex-colleagues at random in the hope they would reply.

4. Listen to music through the earphones.

5. Snap a rubber band and make it hit your cheek.

That's right you heard me, snap a rubber band and make it hit your cheek. *chuckles* The story behind point #5 came about as i was trying to re-tie my pigtails in my half-dozing mode and the rubber band snapped and hit my lower right cheek. There is no bruise or anything but it does itches. Definitely a good wake up call :P

*teehee*

Vacation '05 #2

Well, it's a done deal. *BEAMS*

Am going to Melbbie with the family on our first family official vacation in 20 years (Chinese New Year, Relative's Wedding does NOT count in my sense).

Will be staying back a couple of days after the family leaves for home, i got to have some alone time with my friends and party myself sillie. *heehee*

So this is an open invitation to all i know in Melbbie for a meetup, all you need to do is drop me a comment or email. :P *Heehee*

So far i'm meeting my gf who i am crashing with and two of the guys from my company. *heehee* This is going to be fun, and why wouldn't it be since my airticket will be paid by parents. Hahahaha!!! :P

"Heck Care" Attitude

Something has been bugging me for a long long while and lately it's been so bad that i find myself being unusually impatient, grouchie and snappy. And it's pretty dangerous to get me to a stage where i get nonchalant regardless the issue/ situation/ person. Cos once i get to that "heck care" stage, i will be at a point where i am going to be numb to what is bothering me and i won't give a f**k about it anymore. Sometimes that can be pretty disturbing. There's nothing more dangerous then loosing faith and hope.

HECK CARE

An expression either usedto describe someone as nonchalant or cavalier, or to exhort someone to ignore something.

1. "This sort of serious thing, how can you be so heck care?"

2. "Ah Beng bothering you again? Aiyah, heck care him, lah!"

Double Standards

Close to two weeks after i am back from my eventful CNY week in Malaysia and i have yet to unpack. Been living out from my sony walkman duffel bag till finally yesterday i decided i should just switch on my tv and clean up my dog house of a room.
So i switched on the tv and proceeded to putter around the room trying to get more than just a walking path space leading from the computer to my bed and another one to the door. *grin* That is how messie i can get.
Anyway, i wasn't paying too much attention to the tv cos i just wanted some room noise while i do my cleaning. Then a tv short theme started playing and i found myself looking at the screen and seeing none other than "The Bachelor" being shown on tv. And horror of all horror, i caught myself watching it for a good 20mins before shaking my head and feeling somewhat... disgusted. Still cannot understand why someone, esp. a woman, would want to put themselves in that kind of situation. I'm sure the bachelor said "25 women i can make out with and won't get bashed up by them. Hell yeah!" and gladly jumped into it. So ladies, you know he going to be kissing at least 16 other girls including you, why set yourself up to be scrutinised and potentially get yourself hurt.
Though, on the other hand i would fully support having The Bachelorette being shown on tv. Only because i am one who, and i say this in all honesty, practices double standards and i am guilty of it through and through. Yet, i don't think i am sorry about it or that i feel bad about it.
My friend, Lyddie, told me that i have issues that i need to look into and have them sorted out. Maybe i will, maybe i won't. Right now i am pretty happie with the way i feel about certain topics and issues. So why change something that makes me happie.

Lurk no more

Well, time to pop my head out of the murkie waters and not be lurking. Just that last week was a rough week at work that almost brought out the ugly side in me. Lets just say i was only 30mins away from being labelled, in some eyes, irresponsible. But in those circumstances no one could blame me for feeling that way, or almost carrying out the plan i had. So now that it's settled, there is no break in income things hopefully are looking up from here.

Still no news from UofC as to whether or not they even received my application. This is after a couple of emails and even a phone at 12AM Tuesdat morning, Singapore time. No one answered and they did not return my call. So will call again next week. Results should be out next week if they keep to their timeline of announcing application results a month from the 1st Feb deadline.

Still keeping my fingers crossed... but in the meantime i've applied for rezzie. Don't want to wait ti ll the last min and having to scramble for accomodation. And the rezzie at UofC doesn't look too shabby at all. I'm really hoping this comes through for me alot of things are counting on this application.
