Pampered ^^
Monday, October 17, 2005

woo yooo~~ Haven't started to use the products bought from bodyshop. Preserving them for the christmas. muahaha.. LOL. okay anyway, tom came over to my place after work just now. Had subway at raffles city first.. and poof, into my favourite MANGO, which i havent been going in for quite some time already (hard to believe eh?). Mainly cos nowadays i din go back with jul, so i'll go through bugis instead of city hall.

okay, yeah mango. I got a mango card from tom's aunt (she got a permanent one already, so i got the paper one). So nice of her ^^ we're mango freaks. mUAHAHAH. yeah so popped in mango. WOW, lots of new stuff. my mango jacket is SOLD OUT. scary. yeah, picked up 3 tops and into the changing room i went. muahahha.. love them. but NO. i only can buy ONE .. MAX. already max out my $$ this month already.. it's exceeding already actually.. so maybe i'll not buy..still considering. but .. it's damn nice lo.. haven't been buying sleeveless white tops already!! cos all my past white clothings are.. STAINED. damn.

Seriously i shouldn't go shopping at all. but then, since i was waiting for tom at that time.. might as well.. HIAK.

yup, after we reach home, settled down, washed up, and prepared a basin. - soak our feets! hurrrrr. threw in 2 tablets of mint feet wash into the warm water. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. cool. nice. warm. relaxed. pampering of the feet. didnt buy the feet scrub though.. should try it someday :D

before we soak our feets, i've applied the bodyshop firming mask for tom, and myself already. watch tv watch tv... blah blah blah.. 20 mins' up! washed up again, applied toner and moisturiser for both of us. and TAHDAH!!! FRESHED.

NICE.

Sunday, October 16, 2005

oh yea! sunday doesnt blue this week! cos mama is not at home! therefore, nobody wakes me up freaking early in the morning to ask what i want to eat for breakfast. muahahahaha. okay, mommy is being sweet and nice every sunday, but i seriously dont like being wake up early for these minor stuff. bleh.

Slept till 11++ and woke up, washed up, had my branch, 'decorate' myself, and wait for jieru naima to call me after her driving lesson.

Met her at aljunied and off we go, to the aussie uni fair. Been real busy there, cos i got so many things to carry, so many stuff to see and blah blah blah. and, it's raining. x.x

Been good meeting her! and catching up with her :D we're just as loving. WAHAHAH. hmm.. yeah.. and we exchanged presents. (her bday pressie and my bday pressie). LOL yeah.. i got her a sports bra, and she got me a necklace. she actually asked me to guess what is it before giving me.. LOL.. my immediate ans - necklace LOH.. she gave me the "!!! HOW DID U KNOW" look. lol.. let me count.. from the day she start giving me bday present, it's all necklaces. so.. BE CREATIVE! LOL.. but it's nice! cos i love necklaces! the more the merrier! :D so dont worry mann.. :D

Didnt really have enough time to talk to her though, cos we were rushing throughout the aussie fair, and got to rush back for my driving lesson. x.x hopefully we can meet up another full day! hur.

----
Driving was damn fun today. kept on laughing. i NEARLY go against the traffic three times, and actually go against the traffice one time. i always got the tendercy to go up the motorcycle slope (cos its nearer), and when turning out from one of the crank course, usually i'll turn into the on coming traffic ~.~

but today, i went up a slope (for car), but the wrong slope. that slope (at my direction) should be the coming down one. and instructor purposely keep quiet. x.x then when i go up the slope, he keep laughing. -.- so embarassing.. every learner there got the question-mark-face. haa..~.~

Lazy thursday.
Thursday, October 13, 2005

Anyway, thank you people, thank God, my mock was finally accepted internally. now will have to depend on the client already. *cross fingers*

I wonder if it's me or what. PHOTOSHOP HAS ERROR. on ME, again. it is totally OUT of expectation. softwares always fail on me. zzzzzzz. it's the first time photoshop fail on me. and, it's shocking. The error doesnt allow me to touch the layers (cant double click cant edit blah blah). I wanted to move all the layers to another file, also cant. so.......... IF there's any changes.... redo. ~.~

The last time, Flash fail on me. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. also that kind of error.. the whole file vanished into thin air. ~.~ redo.

Dreamweaver too. ALWAYS having those errors. Always been closing down while coding halfway.. (%*&@*($&#

ahh, no point bugging on these stuff. Softwares are like that.

----
Anyway, though im lonely at home, stressed at work, but im still a happy girl, dont worry . wahhaa.. always stay optimistic ah! im soo sleepy. but im so boreddd. and im sooo full .. sleep.

Dejected.
Wednesday, October 12, 2005

3 mock ups already, and none got selected. that sort of allow me to lose confidence already. It's the 6 months mark already, and why am i still having my mockups like that? It's so frustrating and dejected when people look at your mockup and it's a 'nono face'. I'm trying hard to climb up. It'll be the turning point in ape. whether i'll do well or not in the future months in ape. well, i'm gonna try out the last mock tmr, half done today. Else, i doubt they'll allow me to try again. 4th design. It's enough patience for them already. it's really nice of them to allow me to try again and again already. Not like the past projects, when it's rejected, it's rejected, no second chance.

Though i had to keep re-doing, but that's another chance to prove myself!! so i have to. and i must.

well well.. keep going, cecilia. CANNOOOTTT GGIIVVVEEE UUPPPP.

Maybe... I haven't been taking exams for a long time. cos i miss exam stress. LOLLL yes yes, i love exam stress.. the huge amount of stress before and during exams, and the heavy relieve after exams. It's satisfying. Or maybe, i'm too tied up for the whole year. Been working for the whole year. x.x xcept for 2 weeks break after itp. and that is so sad. but of course, i'm really glad to have found a job like that.

*pulls hair*

angry.

sleep.

Alone in the room
Tuesday, October 11, 2005

Brother and Mommy flew off to China this morning, to meet Daddy over there. So I'll be sleeping alone for the next 9 days. Feels wierd. cos i've not slept alone before, except for 1 or 2 days when my bro goes to chalet or whatsoever. Feels so empty.. Cos would usually chat with my bro until we fall asleep. or watch the silly cartoon till we're tired. The room seem so big suddenly. hahhaha.. I wonder if i'll really love it when i have my own room.. *thinks*

I've always envy people who have their own room since young. It creates so much privacy and space for themselves. And also decorate the way they want it to, clean it the way they want it to, and have an enormous number of soft toys to cuddle.

But to think of it, sharing with someone has the advantages too! at least we're closer together, at least we have companionship, at least we're interacting alot, at least it's not so lonely. But the privacy part sucks.

Somehow, i do miss my bro now. Or rather, i'll miss him for the rest of the 8 nights. It's just quite wierd to sleep alone after so many years of sharing room. wahahha..

-----

My shopping craving is back. and it's so bloody irritating. cos my hands are ITCHY!! itchy in increasing the number of clothes in my wardrobe. sigh. it's such a bad habit, hmmm but i'm still a woman afterall.. WAHAHA.. the rights of women. bleh.

MUST STOP THE CRAVING! anyway, i've brought a green pokemon to the office as my coin bank. just 'donated' few bucks in. more to come, hopefully.

There's so much i want to learn, so much i want to buy, so much that i want. but there's just not enough time and $$ and resources to do so many things.

Next to learn: guitar.
Currently starting to learn: basic drawing

oh mann. difficult tasks! wahaha.. both are my so called challenges. to me, it's really tough. x.x

good night.

Essential brew for dinner
Monday, October 10, 2005

Jul and I went essential brew for chilling out as well as dinner again. Sat there for hours, learning how to draw.. LOL.. and my drawing is as crap. as usual. She taught me how to draw a human's basic head shape today. so i drew 3 pages of ovals.. but all failed.. out of shape. okay, so she taught me how to draw a finger. drew for 2 pages, and they still failed. but had a lil bit of improvement. WAHAHAHA..

First time having a meal, or rather some food at essential. not bad. but kinda ex for the quality of food served. its nice ah.. but.. yeah u know what i mean. hhahah.. good to snack, but not good to meal. yup.

----

Had fun on saturday. went tom's aunt's place to chill the whole day. (plus doing my mock x.x) poor tom, had to carry his 19 inch CRT monitor, and his cpu plus his keyboard and mouse to the house. what's worse, he forgot to bring the power cable for the cpu x.x but luckily the laptop there is fast enough for me to work on. but it's damn wasted ah.. so much effort and stuff.. got a cut and the monitor cracked due to the moving.. and it cant be used. ahh.. *hugs*

Anyway, i realise that we're really messy. the usual neat and clean house, with just our bags on the floor, the whole house became so messy x.x it look messy, but we dont feel messy.. lol..

Went IMM to shop for groceries before that.. as usual, we had pasta. but this time, we tried cooking aglio olio.. erm. okay. tom tried to cook. quite successful! tasty :D then during his nap, i went to cook. erm.. all the garlics were burnt even before i put in anything x.x so there's a burnt smell. oh well.. hmm.. first time can always be forgiven.. wahahhahaha

ahh sleepy already. good night.

Mandy started her PSLE today. so exciting.. it's been 8 years since i took my PSLE HAHAAH.. i miss it actually.. cos i dont really remembering studying HARD for it.. x.x i only remember studying HARD for my o levels .. hahahah.. will pray hard for her papers, esp tmr! MATHS!! her horror..hehe.. Good luck to ah hao too ^^

It's been a long time since i did some clothes shoping too. and you know, i cant really control. arghhh.. i NEED to buy clothes, at least once every month, be it cheap or expensive.. i dont mind.. to curb my craving, i shall buy something cheap. Went bugis for a while after work today and got a green halter top from FOX women..ELEVEN BUCKS!! nice. :D my first bright green top. okay, i shall stop my clothes shopping this month.

Maybe i should go exercise instead of spending my time doing window shopping. just need to get out of my house during weekends. i'm not a home person ..wahhhaa.. yup.. minimal $$ .. should spend it wisely ^^

Early in the office


woooo~ I reached office at 830 today! the feeling is nice, cos there's nobody around, it's only me and claurene.. very quiet environment :D good start of the day!

Suppose to reach at 8 though, but due to some unforseen circumstances, i reached at 830.. haha.. Upon reaching, i'd rush for the new cereal bought yesterday - blueberry morning cereal.. *yummy* together with the new 2L bottle of meji milk, with my new bowl, and new spoon ^^ nice.

Updates!
Saturday, October 01, 2005

oOoOo it's been weeks since i've blog. Having problems with my PC, and i'm using my sis's old lappy nowadays.. and damn it too.. cos it freaking slow (when im doing work), and the cable is not stable.. tsk tsk..

Met my dearest yt last sunday for a walk down town. I didnt buy anything though, but yt bought quite a few things back..haha. I'm super broke mann.. driving drivinngggg..

yup, anyway, these few weeks has bee quite okay for me.. except for my bloody cough.. it's so incurable.. but today, i felt a difference :D after two weeks of consecutive coughing like a grandmother, i finally 'finished' coughing. phew. i miss chicken. aww. I take medicine quite religiously for this period, and religously avoid fried and spicy food..as well as chicken (which i really believe it's the most toxic of all). But then, the cough is still as bad as the first day. I refuse to see doc cos i have no faith in it. It's just useless ah..whenever i see doc for my cough in the past, finished the whole bottle of syrup, and it doesnt cure a bit. so damn it.

yeah, i was saying i religously avoid those food. but no use at all! *zi bao zi qi* I began taking my spicy food, and biscuits. avoid only chicken. oh well, within 3 days, here i am, cured 99%. damnnnnn.

Work has been ok too. except that boss was quite impatient about our speed of work. 3 of us kinda got 'rushed' in a nice way. but then.. it's still rushing.. and i see that it's not quite reasonable.

Some big projects recently. or rather important clients that celia has sourced for the company. It's my first time doing print though.. just a mock for Orient Express. Been to the train on wednesday to take look at it.. to get the look and feel for it. so damn lucky to have been on board. hahaha.. took lots of pictures.. it's just gorgeous there :D

Oh well.. i have lots of pictures to share.. gotta wait till i resize and upload first..cos my damn PC is not doing well.. arghh. PCS!! hopefully my future mac (if possible) will not have this kinda PC illness. it's just so sucky to have it restart again and again automatically.

okay, gotta go off down town! will update on my pics the next entry :D
