It's SUNDAY mann! So tmr is Monday. Could be the stress-est day for next week i bet. OT-ed last friday and we decided to bring home and do so that we need not come back on saturday. But then what happens? My beloved bro decides to format the com. And I didnt realise that my photoshop installation disc was lost.

Today searched for the disc frantically. Found photoshop 7 only. ahh, so installed loh. but cant read the PSD file i saved in office wth. ~.~ Anyway, I decided to redo actually. Started PS, blah blah blah..and GUESS WOOT again, this damn computer is driving me crazy. Still have around 1-2 months before i can get my new com mann. x.x It lags terribly, that i have to wait for like 40 seconds to get a transform done? or 20 seconds to move a damn element around? (%*^#@(*&$(*@#&(*$&

No choice, stopped my work and blog. WAHAHA. :x

----

Mandy got her PSLE results already! YAY! Been choosing schools for her.. Hopefully she gets into Katong Convent :x Else, think she'll prolly get into Holy Innocent's .. Anyway, it's really a blessing for her results hehe.. Not VERY good lah..but it's good for her standard.. so hurray.

----

Cancelled some meeting with friends last week. could not afford the time. So sorry!

----

Tmr will prolly OT too. By hook or by crook will have to finish that flash. so no hurray for tomorrow. Anyway, christmas is coming!! I already start thinking what to wear. LOLOL. wahahah.. no lah. I only hope to get my own room before christmas..so i can grab friends to CHILLLLLLLLL. hur.

----

Okay, gotta rest now! left 6 hours ++ to my wakin up time. x.x

Say Hurray!
Friday, November 25, 2005

HURRAY!! It's weekends again! But this weekend is going to be different. why? Cos Tom is on guard duty tonight, which means he'll have zero energy tmr.. But oh well, doesnt really matter, cos will be going to his place to chillllllll.. And this weekend is going to be cashless. And... this weekend gonna crack the brain abit.. Gotta finish thinking up the layout for the project to be submitted on monday night. So pray hard mann!

I just spent some $$ on a online forum VS spree. Missed the last spree though, didnt expect another spree to come up so quickly..i'm the 16th order, and this time they only limit to 20 orders. *phew* Destinated to spend. WAHAHAHAHAHA. oh well.. I have to place the $$ back to my account next month, by hook or by crook! Else my mom will kill me immediately. It's bad to overspend yea.

It seems like everything is 'fated' (an uber lousy excuse to spend). I went MANGO to try on my 'dream' skirt with jul after work. It was.. bad. dislike the cutting..but the design is still attractive to me. So no choice, have to let it go. Came home, surf flowerpod for a while, and realise there's another VS spree on! wooo hoo. was so excited mann. But i dont know if i will wear or not x.x it's really something out of my wardrobe.

----

This week was quite a o-k one.. beside the work to be done, everything was okay. Had fun in the office playing around. Like small kids.. esp claurene. wahahah. Oh ya, me, david and claurene received each a postcard sent to the office. LOL. you guys know why? We actually bought the cards from a charity organisation. Then each of us wrote for each other, and dropped it to the office's mailbox. Mik will open very often. And then we're so excited when Mik distributed the postcards. LOL. damn silly right! but it's damn fun. I was laughing away 'heavily'. Claurene and David were so EXCITED. LOL. too bad Jul didnt have.. cos she went library at that time, and there's only 3 cards. aww.

yeah. and went Strings yesterday with Jonathan. Well, he kind of cheated me cos he didnt tell me there's only both of us on the Cello yesterday. x.x cheaterbug. Didnt dare to take the front seat!! Didnt touch it for so long already. But the whole session was fun.. did manage to catch up though. ^^

Celebrated SE's birthday yesterday too. The cake was delicious! i was too full to eat more. hur.

----

soooo sleepy! good night folks.

You are a Great Girlfriend



When it comes to your guy, you're very thoughtful

But you also haven't stopped thinking of yourself

You're the perfect blend of independent and caring

You're a total catch - make sure your guy knows it too!

OH WHERE IS MY CLASS 3!


It's been 2 days since i failed my first TP. kinda disappointed though.. Did an immediate failure - Proceed red light. which, sadly, could not be pardoned at all. even though at my situation, i cant save it, so, might as well zham the accel and zoom off x.x so kinda down after that already.. beat the red light quite early on the main road x.x anyhow drive!! demerit points - 34. LOL. im still proud of it, cos Jul got 38 on her first attempt :x *comforted*

And i took at CDC! it's said to be harder to pass.. cos of the number of cars. so the number of accidents is also raised. i have friends staying at aljunied going to SSDC or BBDC!! so kua zhang ah!

oh well, what's past is past! shall look forward to my next TP! hee hee!

----

Churned out a mock this week. Which i think.. will not be accepted by the client. Cos it doesn't suit the theme of the coporate. but am happy cos it's one of the few times that i didnt need to redo :) David did another one which is more conceptualised rather than only design. yeah.

Need to churn out another one next thurs. Quite alot of mocks recently. More reputable sites lo, but very coporate kind.. so it's more towards the boring side :x Good to practice lah! hehe

----

Fri already! so say YAY! wahahha.. GUESS WHAT? I got a sunflower delivered to the office today!! was quite unbelievable.. LOL.. tom was sweeeeeeet! hur hur. I thought claurene bluff me.. hahahah.. Didn't expected it at all mann.. it's just.. out of the blue! so it's a surprise! keke.. claurene seemed to be more excited than me though.. cos im shy lah.. wahahahahahaha..

----

and guess what again? i'm super warm now. x.x bro got fever and he's feeling so cold. so have to do without the fan tonight. and tahan the whole night without opening the windows too.. only opened it few mins ago..i feel more breathable. But well, when i'm sick, he's considerate too.. so i didnt complain at all ..hur. it's just one night or two. :)

----

>> changed to tagboard already. shoutbox has a nice layout, but doesnt have a nice server. sucky. or is it only mine?!?! x.x

gonna sleep already! good night folks.

Monday, November 14, 2005

okay, Miss Programmer Claurene reached her 23rd birthday today! The mischievious girls in the office decided to get her some cheeky stuff. Went on shopping last friday with the girls to buy her presents. First, we got a passport holder from projectshop. Lovely one! green. hur. I wanna get one also..so prettyyyyyyyy! Then celia went back to do her proposals. So left jul, me and mechie. got some kinky underwears for her. 3! from topshop. LOL. mechie is so crude, measuring the underwear against her body see if it fits.. kind of unglam. but it's okay, cos we're all girls. wahhaha.. we bought a g string, a normal underwear (with a lion cartoon! so cuteeeeee), and a boyshorts (with elephants all around!). wahahha.. all cute wears.. i think she'll wear.

Anyway, something interesting happen in the office today. Claurene got a bouquet of PINK DAISIES delievered to the office!! aww! so luo man ti ke! Though some girls may not like flowers, but it's really nice to receive flowers! hehe.. congrats to her! hiak hiak.

Had company bbq at mik's house tonight. fun one i would say.. played dai dee.. which i've always been very lousy at.. still quite lousy though..only win through luck most of the time.. LOL.. but found out that jul is lousier than me. LOL. i feel more.. not-so-lousy already. *evil laugh*

Had some food and mik drove me home. it's quite funny though. I was quite confused when mik say he drive me home. i got the question mark face. ~.~ why? cos my house is just opposite the condo. LOL. i think mik thought must walk one big round before reaching my house. i told him my house is really near eh.. then he say never mind, on his way also.. so i just took his car loh. When goin out of the condo, i directed him to my block then he got the '!!!' face.. cos didnt expect it to be so near. x.x he said never mind, can enjoy air con. LOL.

yeah..sleepy already..

Tom's sick!! tsk tsk tsk. went for the doc already. Hopefully he'll be alright tomorrow. :)

Your life?
Wednesday, November 09, 2005

Suddenly had this thought, so type it down. :)

I'm neither an optimistic person, no a pessimistic person. In fact, i'm leaning more towards the optimistic side. I believe, whether you're optimistic or pessimistic, it's all in the mind. Seriously.

Though some of you might beg to differ. Yes, surroundings do change your thinking, the environment do more or less changes the way you think about your life. But what ultimately wins? - Your mind.

You can always say, oh my life has been so bad so bad, what happen and blah blah.. Yes, these might have happened. Whining doesnt help. Solving helps. Though you might not have the courage or strength to face it, get help! from who? Friends! or whoever you think that can be your pillar of strength. Religion can make wonders too! As long as your faith is in your religion, believe in it, and make turn it into strength to face your problems.

We get shitty stuff in work / school. We get scoldings, disappointments, anger, mao-ness, ji-ness, tiredness and all sorts of discomfort. Shitty stuff will last if you whine non stop. But they will go away if you turn to your pillar of strength.

I do whine. always! And actually, I hate it when i whine. Because i know, when i whine, my mind starts wandering elsewhere. I whine about how dumb can i get when i always miss my stop, how clumsy am i when i trip and fell, how not hardworking am i when i failed my grade 6 practical and when i get only a pass in my grade 6 theory, how untalented i am when my mocks get rejected, blah blah..

See~ i whine about almost everything. That's kinda bad already. x.x

But on the other hand, I do rejoice, I'm really glad i had my besties around, my tom around, and my family around. They're my pillar of strength.

Your Expression Number is 9
An idealist and humanitarian, you strive to make the world a better place.
You do your best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion.
Deep down, you dream of being loved by many.

You are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others.
While you are very ambitious, you never lose site of perspective.
You have an abundance of creative talents... you just need to tap into them.

Although you are a giving person, you can become selfish if you are ignored.
If you are not able to help people, you tend to shelf your talents.
Without others, you become aloof and start to lack sensitivity.

Monday, November 07, 2005

It's suana + steam room in office today. horrid horrid horrible. eww. Can really feel it's worse than the last air con breakdown. more than half the day enduring the stuffy-ness, the hot air, the big big sun.. Sweating. Totally got no mood to think of ideas. Got so maomao-ish.

Got a new project to do. Actually, 2 new projects. But this week doing 1 new project first - a booklet. Kinda got stressed. Cos of the standard that is wanted, and the tight timeline. >_< But seriously, i feel more comfortable with print than web.

Anyway, gotta finish by tomorrow..sortta got some ideas already.. :D yeah. sort of only. WHAAHAHAH.

Holidays over!
Sunday, November 06, 2005

yoo hoo~ 4 days of straight resting is SO SHIOK. i feel so holiday-ic. lol.

Went church service this morning with tom. - Don't Worry Be Happy. It says, alot of stuff that people pray to God, they dont entrust totally in him. They'll pray, and looking for it desperately else where. I believe it also happens in other religions.. If you pray for it, will you not worry at all?

We often worry about lots of stuff. lots. I admit I do worry for anything, and everything. I worry about results, i worry about work, i worry about my hair, i worry about my complexion, i worry about my fats, i worry about my teeth, i worry about my friends, i worry about tom, i worry about my family, i worry about $$, i worry about what to eat, i worry about what to say blah blah .. and the list goes on and on.

Look at the amount of white hair i have, and the age that i have white hair..you know i worry how much already. LOL.

anyway, yeah. Very interesting sermon today. yup, and after that i went home and nap till 4++, got ready and poof, went for driving lesson. Met Jieru again, cos her lesson is just before me..hur hur hur.

----

I'm still thinking what to study..

If you were given a choice, would you go for something that you have interest in but doesn't have a market, or something that is secure and has a future?

Day out
Saturday, November 05, 2005

Had a company off day yesterday. Mommy too. Stayed at home till late afternoon and met up with Aifen and Angie. O_o the As. okay.. lol.. before going out i had to settle my cousin's stuff that she wants me to put up on auction to sell.. one lugguage of clothes. -_- took photos and jot down the measurements..

Dress up, and poof~ down to town. Thought of accompanying mom, but.. i was plain too bored. she does her own stuff and i do my own stuff. accompanied her till late noon though, till my bro comes home.. oh well..at least there's somebody there if she wants someone to talk to.. haha.. If i can drive at that time, i'll drive her out for tea time. tsk.

Anyway, meeting up with the girls was fun.. and i mean really fun .. updates on gossips. LOL. ok la.. not that i'm after the gossips..but just wanna hang up with poly mates lo.. havent been meeting up since dunno when..

Was only first few days of the month, and i'm saying i'm poor already. WAHAHAHAH okay, that's actually the trend of Ape. or rather.. the designers' row. LOL.. Didn't want to spend on shopping..but willing to spend on food la.. if everything dont spend, might as well dont go out .. muahha..

Walked abit around far east (they finish shopping far east when i reach). So we headed for taka, wanting to eat ice cream.. but then when we reached, Aifen said she wants to eat at another place.. so we walk walk to hereen. Met Yiting and Apple there as well.. but parted after some time.

Met my boyfriend there as well - Jieru. LOL. caught her with her girlfriend. didn't see her dress up when going out with me lor.. so bias.. must complain already.. wahaha.. did some catch up though..hehe.. happy to see her!

When parted from yiting and apple, we went lido, ready to have our dinner. Met Edmund on the way too.. slim down so much!!! Don't be on diet ah!

We were lucky to spot an empty table when we reach Lido. Sat down and start our gossip session. Our gossip session is alot different from band's gossip session. in a way that, band gossip sessions are really gossip sessions. our gossip sessions are like hmmmm.. more of informative stuff. haha.. more healthy in a way.

Waited for Junyao till 8 pm. and we're furmished already. *growling stomach* was thinking whether to have subway or long john.. in the end i chose long john..cos haven't been having that for a very long time already x.x had fish instead of chicken..cos.. i'm coughing again.

Yuan Ting didn't get to join us today.. her mom's came back last night! hehe.. hope she had a nice sleep last night :D

Walking in town on weekdays is really a pleasure. less people, less aunties, less babies.. ahhhhh.. nice la.

Noisy nose.
Wednesday, November 02, 2005

oooooooooh damn it. i've been sneezing the whole day. Didnt feel quite well yesterday cos of the stuff that is stucked in between my nose and mouth that made the swallowing of the saliva painful.. (*^@#(* it always happens during holidays. My eyes are so watery now, cos i sneezed 26 times straight just a minute ago. And i'm not exaggerating mann..

Nevertheless, will be having a good night sleep tonight, cos of the runny nose that made me drowsy, and my eyes heavy. haha..

This week will be a fast week! and that'll be the first week of the month gone! wow. it's a good way to save / spend money. HAHA.. you know la, there'll always have the pros and cons. To make it nicer, Mikhail let us have a company off during friday!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYY! So nice of him :D

Work today was O-K. Seriously, haven't been coding so much HTML before x.x Everytime i do coding i will get help from design view at least! Today did a bunch of contents re-plug in and edit for a website. Got a very nice javascript scrollbar (erm, with ONE bug), therefore, the contents have to be 'include' files. SoooOooooo.. javascript comes it. x.x Which will not be shown on design view of dreamweaver, and can only preview it on a browser.. so.. everything has to be coded by codes. lol. I think other than year 1 (webP module) to code a website out during exam (with a PEN), this is the second time i'm doing so much coding x.x Rusty already.. hahahah..

----
Heard about the solo audition in SPband. Was supporting ah beng. Too bad he didn't win. But at least everybody knows he's good! haha..in fact, most of the audition people are good. yes, most. Congrats to the tuba!

----
Strings news now. Jonathan bought a new cello!!!!!! WOOOOOOWWW. 1.5 k.. but not his $$.. SB SB SB ..HAHAHA.. just kidding. anyway, SB=spoilt brat. i bet it looked nice.. shall see it next week, if i'm going to ensemble..hur.

----
Piano lesson resumed today. Stopped for 3 weeks due to unforseen circumstances. Pretty excited ..hehe.. really have to brush up my piano. But i really hate the 'space' i'm practicing.. sooo bloodddyyy warm. lol. when there's wind, my books fly from one end to the other, when it's humid, the whole space goes very still, and i'll perspire like mad.. when there's people watching tv, i'll play louder, and they'll on louder, and complain why do I have to play the piano when they're watching tv (my mom dont complain, my aunt and elder sis do).

Another thing is that it's very near the door, and i hate the way my sis ding dong the bell when she actually has the house key. why mann. and when there's nobody to open the door, she expects me to stop halfway and open it. argh. and i've said to her umpteen times that PLLSSS BRING THE KEY. my bro was once like that, and got nagged by me, he now bring his own keys. hur.

----
okay, i finished my complains.

Time to move on.

noisy nose.
