mystery of the butter cookies...

several weeks ago
a tin of butter cookies appeared on our common table
me and 3 other colleagues are seated such that our backs face one another when we face our computers
and there's a round table in the middle
which we use for heaps of paperwork and lunch gatherings
the cookies were there
and in my office
the culture is such that we share watever food that's available
we set up a mini pantry where all the food everyone contributed is piled up
and whoever that is hungry can just eat watever's available
so..the contents of the cookie tin slowly diminished
and we all simply assume that it was brought by someone in my group
until one fine day someone popped the question
"eh, whose har? these cookies.."
and we started saying each other's names
then it dawned on us that no one brought the cookies
and we went from the "uh-oh" [did we eat someone else's stuff by mistake?] feeling
to "hmm.." [was it a gift from god? ghosts? evil pple planning to poison us?]
to "watever lah..juz eat" [anyway, the tin is half empty aredi]
and so we allowed the matter to rest
until this morning
ANOTHER tin of butter cookies appeared
a few of us started asking ard again
questions and comments flew around..
"eh, from who one har?"
"no i din bring"
"not me oso"
"drop from sky one"
"maybe it's a gift from god"
"y he keep giving us butter cookies?"
"u all very lucky hor, always got free food"
"can eat one anot, scally expire aredi"
"maybe got poison one"
then one of my colleagues [who has been on the phone during all these commotion] said
"orh, no lah, it's from the indian lady in the other room. coz dat time i bought something for her"
with that settled, the mystery of the 1st tin was brought up again
"then mayb the 1st tin was from her also?"
"no lah, dat time dun really know her yet, she give us for wat?"
"so until now, we still dunno who the 1st tin is from hor"
"aiyah, forget it lah, eat so much liao oso nothing happen, anyway, goin to finish soon"

and so, we will not be out of butter cookies for some time

wonder when the 3rd tin will come..

hmm

bored..

my department's having a "stress test" now
we are supposed to be down with SARS
no no no
choy!
i mean, we are quarantined at home
so nobody is recalleable
my work is being covered by my colleagues at Haw Par
so technically speaking
i'm supposed to do NOTHING now
this testing thing is gonna last till 11.30
purpose of it is to make sure that we are operational
in the event of disaster(s)
well, if u ask me, it looks workable only on paper
and for show to the management
to let them noe that we are perpared
but c'mon, we are prepared?
to what extent?
singapore is so small
it's impossible to be unaffected
if something serious happens
we will all be affected in one way or the other
and for every test, we make assumptions
to make the test slightly easier
we assume that so and so is on leave [as opposed to being quarantined]
which means we can recall her back
but what about in the event that she's not recallebale?
like if she's overseas? or affected by SARS?
there's an infinite number of possibilities
how to plan for every variable?
what's more
we noe about the test way before hand
we plan for it
we pass our duties over the day before
coz we can't afford to have a surprise test
too much risk
significant impact on clients
so, how accurate will this test be?

you tell me.

OMG..

i juz realised a whole lot of work stuff which i missed out
thank goodness there wun be any significant impact
so, guess i shld hush it up yah..hehe
all spanned out within last week
but i muz admit
i really wasn't on form at work last week
better be more alert from now on if i dun wanna be sacked
i still do want my job
well, for the time being, at least

u noe
there's this redang trip which i'm interested in
23 - 27 Mar
need to take only 1 day leave
coz departure's on nite of 23rd
and 25th Good Friday
so need to take leave only for 24th
$210
pretty attractive eh
i'm really keen u noe
coz i wun noe if another chance like this will come along again
long weekend
everything planned nicely
reasonable price
BUT i'm having reservations coz of work and finance matters
coz recently i'm planning for..
new handphone
new desktop
bro's wedding ang bao
and it's peak period for my work at that time
which means..
1. i'll become the butt of all gossips if i were to go
2. my conscience might feel bad to be enjoying when my colleagues are slogging

conclusion...

i'm giving it a miss

so just LET ME WHINE now ok

=Þ

haven't slacked enuff..

still slacking

this site is kinda good
was juz trying my luck
din expect so many of my frens to bother and respond
thanks alot pple
for making my life easier
=)

i'm kinda hooked on the song "true"
thx to adelynn
hahaha
but it's a really nice song tho

haven't done a single constructive thing tdae
was just in time for lunch when i woke up
watched some TV
bowling compeitition
cartoons
till i got bored
played a bit of piano
i really suck at it now
haiz

i haven't packed my wardrobe yet
was trying to clean up my comp
looking thru all the rubbish i saved up over the years
i realised i can spend ALOT of time sitting in front of my comp w/out realising it
the internet is simply so distracting
chatting to a few pple on msn
surfing ard pple's blogs
clicking on links
playing some silly games from eBaums and MySpace
updating my blog
getting mp3s from adelynn
that's about ALL that i did in the last 6 hrs
minus abt 1+ hr spent eating dinner wif my folks
chatting abt stuff and watching TV wif them

so yah, in the end, my wardrobe is still unpacked
and my comp is still cluttered
i tink i can only do something constructive
when i dun switch on my comp
ok, i've decided

I SHALL NOT SWITCH ON MY COMPUTER TOMORROW

True..

Ryan Cabrera - True

I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move till you finally see
That you belong with me

You might think I don't look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
I'm weak
It's true
Cuz I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster

I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

You don't know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak
It's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?

I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited

This is true

I know when I go I'll be on my way to you
The way that's true

I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited

This is true

i love long weekends..

good

feels really good to wake up and noe that i dun have to go work
feels even better to noe that i dun have work the next day
ahahahaha
slacking @ home now
gonna pack my wardrobe later
clear all my unwanted clothes
and send them to salvation army or sumthing

last week was pretty uneventful
except for my little shopping trip wif adelynn on monday
bought a top from samuel n kevin for CNY =)
went far east to collect our clothes that we sent for alteration
haiz..
could have saved the 20 bucks if only i'm taller
oh well
watever

went shopping wif my mum ydae
bought a backless bra for myself
coz the gown i bought for my bro's wedding dinner is kinda low-cut at the back
and it'll be pretty awful-looking if my bra is showing
so, i bought a backless bra
it looks the same as a normal bra
minus the straps
and it comes with a pack of 3 pairs of special adhesive tapes for the sides
recommended to wear for 6 hrs
so i'm wondering wat will happen after 6 hrs
will it automatically drop off???
i dun tink so lah, hor
it will be so O.M.G. embarrassing
hmm..i tink i shld try them out one day
b4 THE actual day
juz in case it doesn't work properly

was feeling kinda suicidal for the rest of the week
haha
no lah, i din really like stand at the edge of a building or sumthing
was juz feeling extremely miserable and whiny
coz of all the aches i was having all over
feeling much better only todae

wondering wat to do tnite
gene's working at UCC
noone's asked me out
*sob*
kinda sad huh
to be at home on a saturday nite
when everyone's out there partying

oh yah, i said i'll tell u about my new yr's eve celebrations rite
caught "kungfu hustle" wif gene
directed by stephen chow
but he had quite a minor role in the show
ok lah, crappy show
but only the beginning was funny
coz new characters appear at different scenes
and every one of them had a funny look
and/or funny dressing
and/or funny characteristic
but after all the chararcters showed their faces
and u noe wat's funny about them
it's not really that funny anymore
went his grandma's hse for dinner after the show
went to a bar called no. 5 at emerald hill
next to orchard emrald
somewhere behind alley bar and rouge
partying wif us were..
zhenjin and her bf eric
edalene
valerie [zhenjin's pri sch classmate]
and her fren, robert
zhenjin's fren, terence
terence's fren, aik teng
mandy and eugene [couple]
i tink they are eric's frens
kinda weird how we all got together huh
like every other person is fren of a fren kinda thing
well, i'm kinda getting used to it aredi
will always meet new pple whenever i pub wif zhenjin and edalene
coz zhenjin will always ask a whole lot of pple along
it's kinda fun, really
meeting up wif new pple
we were given party packs
that came with a mask, a few whistles things
and the hand-shaped "spanking" device u see in the pics
i was irritating the hell out of edalene wif one of the whistle thing
hahahahaha
u noe the kind that has a curled-up "frog's tongue" in front
and when u blow into it, it makes a noise and the "tongue" extends out
so yah, had pretty much fun blowing the thing into eda's face
it was eric who came up wif the idea of taking "spanking" pics
hmm..makes me wonder how kinky he and zhenjin can get
hahahahaha
the rest of the nite was spent drinking, finger guessing
and of coz, counting down
the bartenders seemed to have alot of fun
spraying those sticky cob-web confetti thing at us
pple who are smarter than me covered their drinks wif coasters
before taking cover from the confetti battle
good thing there wasn't much left in my glass
but i still felt rather silly not to have thot of that
neway, had fun that nite
glad that i've the company of my beloved and frens
to step into a new year

gotta go pack my wardrobe
now

=~(

miserable

bloody hell
it's dat time of the month when i hate being a woman..
[oops, sorry 'bout the pun]
leaving my HP at home tdae simply made me feel worse

@*#&^$%&*!@#($!*(^(*&#!@*

oh yah
photos taken during new year's eve celebration are up
go see them at my sidebar
details later
when i am in a better mood

it's monday again..

pms-y

i feel miserable.
i need a hug.

Rules of Living..

i finished reading the book edalene gave me for x'mas
Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination
pretty nice
it's about a journalist [olivia joules]
she's independent, pretty and yes, u guessed it
she's got an overactive imagination
always tinking of writing something that means something
it's pretty light reading
with funny, witty lines and pretty sharp reflections on life
here's something from the book..

Rules of Living by Olivia Joules..

oo1. Never panic. Stop, breathe, think.
oo2. No one is thinking about you. They're thinking about themselves, just like you.
oo3. Never change haircut or colour before an important event.
oo4. Nothing is either as bad or as good as it seems.
oo5. Do as you would be done by, e.g. thou shalt not kill.
oo6. It is better to buy one expensive thing that you really like than several cheap ones that you quite like.
oo7. Hardly anything matters: if you get upset, ask yourself, 'Does it really matter?'
oo8. The key to success lies in how you pick yourself up from failure.
oo9. Be honest and kind.
o10. Only buy clothes that make you feel like doing a small dance.
o11. Trust your instincts, not your overactive imagination.
o12. When overwhelmed by disaster, check if it's really a disaster by doing the following:
a) think, 'Oh, fuck it,'
b) look on the bright side and, if that doesn't work, look on the funny side.
If neither of the above works then maybe it is a disaster so turn to items 1 and 5.
o13. Don't expect the world to be safe or life to be fair.
o14. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
o15. Don't regret anything. Remember there wasn't anything else that could have happened, given who you were and the state of the world at that moment. The only thing you can change is the present, so learn from the past.
o16. if you start regretting and thinking, 'I should have done...' always add, 'but then i might have been run over by a lorry or blown up by a Japanese-manned torpedo.'

interesting eh?
anybody wanna borrow the book? =)

to bed now.
really.
nitey.

TGIF..

it's friday!!!!
i can smell the weekend

signs to noe dat u r sick of ur job..
oo3. the day seems to be longer
oo2. u r counting the minutes as they pass
and the no. 1 sign to show dat u r sick of ur job is..
oo1. u chat on msn even when ur boss' seat faces the screen of ur comp
sigh.......

the bowling session on wed went well
go view the photos from my sidebar yah?
food was good
but i suck at the game
din even manage a single strike
and i spared only once
in two games
main [and only] thing i like abt the event is dat it's FREE!!
ahahahaha
yeah, i'm cheapo
bite me =Þ

met up wif sumathi on thurs
she's my classmate thru' my entire life in poly
had dinner at raffles city food court
chatted for a while
we parted pretty early coz she's got a test the next day
she's still the same
one word: busy

went for a slimming and lymphatic drainage session with jingyi todae
i bought it for her as x'mas pressie
kena "conned" into it during their x'mas roadshow at lido
overall pretty good lah
but the slimming session was a little uncomfy
she placed damp sponges on certain spots
den wrap a rubber strap ard them
den secure the strap with giant plastic clips
wires are then attached to the clips
and some sort of electric current is sent thru them
the electric current came in pulses and kinda squeezes me all over
the treatment is supposed to break down my fats
increase blood circulation
yadda yadda
and have the same effect as doing 300 sit-ups
hmm..how am i supp to noe whether it's true
since i never did a stretch of 300 sit-ups before?
neway, the drainage thingy was comfy

NTU Band is having their concert tmr
7.30pm @ VCH
but gene's having a little party/gathering thing at his house
and i want to be around
hehe
so, qikang, sorry yah..
and sorry oso to edalene [tink she's gonna nag at me abt this for some time]
girl, if u r reading this, dun nag lah, ok?
and i wun nag at u for not uploading our photos
deal?
DEAL! =D

b4 i forget, thx jianjie
for letting me noe that my links ain't working properly
they do now
i'm not sure wat's wrong with my html code
so i just redid the chunk relating to the drop down menus

oh yah pple, if u r a HTML idiot like me
do check out the "HTML Basix" site listed on my sidebar
they've got this code generator that is really useful
i used it to generate the html codes of my disclaimer marquee and drop down menus
lazy to read thru' all their tutorials lah
so i took the easy way out and got them to do it for me
heh

u noe, i realised sumthing silly abt this blog
usually they'll send an email to me whenever someone posted a comment
but when i, the owner, post a comment [to reply my frens' comment],
an email is generated to me too
i was like, "watever for?"
and i was logged in some more
so they shld noe that i'm the owner rite?
well, apparently not.
and oso, it does not have a "reply to comment" function like the livejournal does
so dat when u reply to a comment, it is shown indented
and u can like link back to the parent thread
if u read my previous blog
i was choosing between blogspot and livejournal
i'm not sure y i chose blogspot in the end
it kinda gave me the feeling that i have more personal space
but i wun noe all the little inconveniences/restrictions until i use it myself rite
so, guess i gotta make the best out of everything now

oh well, i guess no blog is perfect yah?

to bed.
gotta get enuff rest so as to enjoy my weekend to the fullest

on losing weight..

went to the gym todae
or rather, outside the gym
coz sharon's complaining of backache
and after waiting for her for 45 mins outside the gym
every bit of my willpower to work out is lost
haha
so.....we headed for marche
and had wild mushroom soup
willed myself away from the rosti stall
coz potatoes = carbohydrates = fats [eventually]
sigh
tink i'm putting on weight again
really gotta exercise man
dun wan all my relatives to comment during CNY that i 发福 aredi
it's juz a nice way of saying "u r fatter than before"
and trying to say that it's gd to be fatter rather than starved and skinny
but hey, being skinny does not necessarily mean "unhealthy" u noe
obesity brings abt more problems
well, i'm goin for a bowling session tmr
it's considered a sport rite? hehe
and the best part is, it's on the company's account! =D
dinner provided too
but guess i'll try to cut down on my intake of food

i'll see how =Þ

to bed.

monday blues..

mood: bluey

ok, i missed out an announcement
and it's affecting quite a no. of pple
emails are flying ard, asking "why"
"how can we miss out on the event?"
c'mon, y not?
i'm human ok
ever heard of "human errors"?
it's not as if i did it on purpose
all the methods available to me are not fool-proof
and i'm not like the ONLY one doin announcements
yes, i admit i made a mistake
and at the same time i'm oso wondering hw my mistake can be overlooked

my 1st post..

mood: accomplished =D
song: 王力宏 - 公转自转

spent like the entire day doing up this blog
doesn't look too bad huh
considering the fact that i know nuts about html codes
had a hard time figuring out which code applies to what
did everything by trial and error
now i'm really tired out
brain dead
will do some more fine tuning some other day
there are some more items i can't really figure out
like how to reduce the size of my blog title
how to insert a small pic of me beside my name
how to insert a google search bar
etc
etc
...
added a chatterbox from flooble
u noe, those tagboard kinda thing with IRC kind of layout
for pple to post miscellaneous comments and like chat on it
but took it out coz i thot it made my sidebar look kinda cluttered
...
u noe
i'm kinda proud of my disclaimer thingy
hahaha
took me a really long time to figure out the codes, alignment, colours
was so happy when i finally got everything correct =D
this "disclaimer" idea came to me suddenly
and so i decided to do it juz for the fun of it
and also to kinda like "protect" myself
in case i happen to incur the wrath of readers [if any] with my posts
...
anyway
that's all for tdae i guess

till next time

PS: the hit counter u see at the bottom of the sidebar is fake..haha
