Cover Letter & Resume

I am thinking maybe I should submit mine for real. How cool is that if I'd really get hired!

Will wait for the assignment to come back and see what corrections need to be made, then will submit it.

Wee... thinking about it makes me happy!

Wednesday & Thursday Loves

Those are my favorite days, as of today.

Shhhh, it is a secret I shall not tell anyone.

Not you, or you or YOU!

I shall keep this to myself and myself only.

Truth be told, I am experiencing a slight state of blankness as I am writing this.

I have yet to pack my bags for tomorrow, I have not even thought about what to bring, except for the medication(s) mom packed for me yesterday.. mostly are for just in case stomach conditions.

I have yet to complete my reflection for human motivation which I must complete before leaving..

That brings me to IO which I have not touched in 2 days..

I still need to Veet the legs, clear the red polish, drop by uni to pass questionnaires to thesis supervisor- who I truly believe is now the best supervisor to have ever, buy some snacks to bring along just so I don't starve myself, arrange for Scotty to go for his grooming..

Just got a text from my Malaysian-but-now-more-Thai-than-anything-else friend, Su Ann. It reads something along these lines, "Yo girl, how's it going over there? I am packing my bags now.. time to explore India!"

... what shall I reply??

See you guys on the 9th! Have a great time meanwhile, don't over-miss me!

I love Wed & Thurs!!

I think this is by far my most favorite personality test, the Leonard Personality Inventory.

Boo you, because I tried finding what all Malaysians love, free online assessment, but either my Googl-ing skills not canggih enough, or, this one is just 'extremely' copyrighted.

I guess this is one of the very rare moments where I can say: See, study Psychology got advantage!

Good on you if you can find it and get your results interpreted.

Anyway. That's just a little something to share since I was flipping through my file earlier.

Now though, I am thinking, 'So really why is it that since I (kononnya) have that wanted look, how come I am still very much single and available?'

.. only because posts like this and that of my failed cooking garners most attention.

Quickie

The "P1Ymax, I cut already, you cut already or not" advert on the radio is damn annoying. How do people do their marketing these days? So phail one.

October is Coming to An End

Tip: My beautician told me that the right way to cleanse your face with a cleanser is to begin with your forehead, work down your T-zone and then only proceed to your cheeks.

My back is killing me.

I have lost all mood to sit down and study or get any work done at all because it hurts.

I am not kidding neither am I using this as an excuse to escape work, but it really hurts. So much so I feel like crying.

I've tried stretching, doesn't help. Mom says it's my sitting posture. I think I twisted too much in my sleep last night.

Whatever it is, it's not fun. And I want the damn bones to be alright soon because I cannot afford to always not-be-in-the-mood.

Listening to Jason Mraz - Details in the Fabric feat James Morrison

This week will be "Flower Power"...

Hard Boiled Egg

I don't know... but friends tend to enjoy listening to my stories of failed attempts at cooking. So I shall entertain you people with another one of those many epic failures.

This morning, I woke up an hour earlier wanting to prepare egg sandwich.

First failed attempt: When I put the egg into the hot water, either because I dropped it in too quickly or the water was too hot, it CRACKED!

You see, I learn from the past. Last time, I threw my sausage into non-boiling water, and I kena laugh at. This time, I waited till the water was boiling, and my egg cracked! -_-

Second failed attempt: I was told to leave the egg in there for 6 minutes, I didn't count. So when I took it out and started peeling it, yeah precisely, it was soft /still liquid in the inside.

Sigh.

My maid is now having the time of her life laughing at how I failed at cooking hard boiled eggs.

De-clustering

For those of you who do not know.. Now you shall know.

In 6 days from today, I'll be heading to Mumbai, India for some match racing on the J24's!! Yeah yeah.. *dances around*

Will be crewing with the same bunch I usually sail with in Pattaya, albeit it'll be my first time on trim for MR-ing. Another round of trimming will follow 2 weeks upon my return, this in which, I hope I do not die in the process.

So yes, coming back to my title in focus, de-clustering! I think this was very very much necessary as life has been a bit of a muddle lately. Things always seemed upside down, and very scattered.

And I would certainly not call the past few weeks as good days.

Anyhow, clearing off some of the potential mess has lightened up the atmosphere a lil. Hopefully, I'll be having some good days soons.

Mandy seems to be able to read my moods in ways I never imagined. A couple of days ago, we were having this online conversation whereby I told her I haven't been in the best of moods lately. Her reply was, 'Yeah, I noticed from the way you dress, never have I seen you wearing T-shirts for more than a week in a row'.

* not her exact words, but content is the same

Fascinating huh? I didn't even realize it myself.

So anyway, for that very reason, I am embarking on a new project of which I shall call "Let's Play with Themes!".

From this week on, I will be coming up with a theme to dress for the entire week. Say for instance, "Pink" - for the rest of the week, everything I dress up in must have some element of pink. Or "Striped" - so, anything with stripes for the whole week.

This way, I'd have reasons to wear things I never wore. Might even end up discovering some hidden treasures in my closet. Also so that the friend will have to find other ways to observe my moods lah. :P

Speaking of de-clustering and my new project, I shall go clean up my shoe cupboard..

Lastly, a shout out to a special someone: All the best! And Buh Bye! :D

... I wanna go shopping! Jom?

Illusion

I think I am creating this illusion that life.. is super carefree now. No work, no deadlines, no meetings...

Padahal, I know there's work to do. I just can't seem to decide which to start with, which I need to do and how it needs to be done.

This leads to a pretty crappy feeling deep inside. But gahhhhh.

Sailing this Sat should be refreshing for all the huha a.ka. madness throughout the week. Facial tmr to rid of the blackheads and I hope it comes with a shoulder massage. I.. am tempted to shop for heels.

I know I know.. Why even think about buying any when I don't ever wear them at all. Truth is, I don't know. Just.. call it impulse lah, confirm will regret later on type.

Realized blogging on Chrome is less fun compared to Firefox & IE.

Since I am not being productive anyway, shall I just go to bed??

Signing off for now. Not emo ah plz.

Green Day

21st Century Breakdown.

Is this it?

Ai Li, in the perfect world you could do that...

I got that in one of the emails which was in my inbox today.

19 emails. For not checking my inbox for a day. 19 freaking emails. Thank God not all were work related.

Truth be told, if this were a perfect world, I'd be a happier person, so would you, so would he, so would she, so would be every Tom Dick Harry, so would be every Jane Janet Jessica.

But, reality is a far cry from being a perfect world. Like now, I much rather be smelling the sweet scents of flowers blooming, or freshly baked brownies/ scones, instead of this foul animal poo smell.

E-yuck!

Anyhow, I am not complaining. For one only complains when there's a reason to compare and realize that one is capable of something better, brighter, nicer etc..

So yeah. Time to shut the negativity and work on the positivity.

Arghh. Need to work out my flights to India. Dread sangat.

I...

do not know where to begin.

Let alone know where or when or how it'll end.

Wants vs Needs

* di-atastarikh // updated AGAIN!

I wanted to blog about something amazing. Something I learnt through a conversation with a good friend today.

I wanted to chill and relax today.

I wanted to have kuih kuih for tea.

I wanted to get things organised.

BUT

IO assignment has taken priority.

So much to do, so little time..

Sailing event is in a mess. Was a huge success!

Have yet to call the caterer, have yet to hear from the skipper YAYS!

Have yet to make phone calls.

Have yet to email to request for pins.

Need to complete online resume.

Need to confirm attendance for awards ceremony.

Need to collect data.. ** Please return my questionnaires leh pleasee!

Need to install SPSS..

Need to's...

are pissing me off.

Introducing..

seu foong says:

seu foong says:

seu foong says:

ai. says:

T___T

seu foong says:

dont help the dog put nail color

seu foong says:

haahhahaha

So yes, I have got a new member in the household, his name is Scotty. He previously belonged to Bee Li who figured that she had too many dogs and eventually decided to give me Scotty.

So that's how I got him.

As for photos, I am too lazy to get my camera now, so photos will have to wait.

Scotty just had his bath. And we bought him tonnes of goodies from the petshop earlier.

So, yes.

I know better than to feed him nail polish. T__T

Sometimes...

I wonder where does all the willpower go when you need it most. :(

I can't seem to get enough help for the upcoming event. And I am close to wits end. Everywhere I turn to.. *dek* dead end. And I only have one more week. Technically speaking, I have less than a week because of all the other factors involved.

I've come this far, I can't turn back, I don't want to but walking straight ahead doesn't seem like such a bright idea either.

Some advice, perhaps?

Some other things are bothering me too. While they aren't major issues, tiny things have been accumulating and I believe, those have been the energy suckers of life. I'm tired all day long.

Mid terms

IO draft

Pack bed

Data collection

Gym

Or, perhaps, I am just plain lazy.

It does seem like it, after all.

Not emo ah, just complaining as per usual when things don't go my way.=/

Question (Girls ONLY)

I have always wondered...

"Would I have preferred a baby sister to a baby brother??"

Sometimes, I envy those with sister(s)...

They get to share stuff: clothes, girl toys, shoes etc..

They've got their sister(s) to buy girly stuff with..

They've got their sisters who would help them dress up etc..

They've got sister(s) who would buy stuff so they could both share.

I wonder if it is really better to have a sister? How would things be different?

But after some serious thought, I think I have found my answer.

But before I share my answer, I wanted to ask what do you think. Better to have a sister or better without a sister?

Anyhow...

Shopping next Friday with the mom. Hip hip hooray...

I believe I just said my answer.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Today

My Bahasa Cina skills were put to the test.

And I have to say, it is worse than I had thought.

:(

But...

Takpe lah, least I can still write my own name and string a proper sentence in Chinese..

:)

I want to get more skinnies....!!!!

Finally...

I see some light!

:D

Yes lah. Things are looking good.

Paperclips & Pencils

You who know shall remain silent! :P

Yesterday was a good day. Pretty awesome good day!!

Thank you, YOU bunch of Crew! :D

Great team effort (despite a lot of screaming from me, I am sorry!), we did great! So much for first timers match racing! However, I forgot to ask this very important question. So, which is more fun?

Fleet racing versus match racing??

The two consecutive dinners later at night was a bonus for the hard work throughout the day. I cleaned my toilet and room before we went sailing okay!

Unfortunately, dinners aren't all that pleasant especially when the numbers keep increasing on the scale. But, I shall not complain.

Today has been a longgg day. One compulsory hour worth of experiments completed. 2 more to go. Meeting online later. Still a longgg way to go before I can call it a day. So much to do... so little time. Therefore I must make use of every minute I have.

I will only go shopping after mid terms.

** Those whom I have passed my questionnaire to, can you people return them to me by Wed? Filled or un-filled, just return them to me lah. Much thanks!

Gambateh neh!

Droooools!

I don't know if you people have already seen the following pictures, the ohmygosh!-mouth-watering pretty pretty dresses of the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. But oh well, I haven't. That was until just awhile ago, so I am gonna post them here and give my 2 cents worth of opinions/

Pictures are from here.

First up.. My favorit-est of the lot, the very very very very pretttyyyy doctor of the hit TV series House, Thirteen - Olivia Wilde!

So pretty can! Literally drop dead gorgeous.... If only... *aih, nvmd nvmd, I am who I am, I am pretty too I am pretty too I am pretty too...*

Next up, January Jones, no idea who she is (I figure she's a January baby though), I thought the top of the dress looked a bit weird, but she looks pretty still.

Miss Drew Barrymore! I think she looks lovely. The dress is to die for; simple, pale pink and so beautiful. Nice. Sangat! And I love Drew Barrymore, I think she's one of those celebs who has the effortlessly beautiful look.

Of the two Gossip Girls... I personally prefer Blake Lively's attire, oozing sexy-ness wei. But she looks.. a lot older for her age BUT she looks.. fine lah, and extremely tall. Leighton Meester looks.. a bit messy, I don't know, my personal opinion. And while I have conflicting feelings about her dress, it is kinda leaning towards the nice side of the scale lah.

While I never thought of Sandra Oh as a pretty actress, I think she does her job well. And she does look pretty amazing in this this simple dress of hers.

Maybe I am biased. Maybe I am. But I think this dress looks nice, and it is pink! The site where I got this from says otherwise. What do you think?

Christina Applegate.. of Samantha Who? I don't fancy the dress, but I love the color! I think I am in the blue wave right now, was dying to get that dark blue polish from Skin Food but bah.. *end*

Lindsay Price, agrees she VERY pretty. But don't quite like the dress. I think it is too long for her anyway.

I think she has got to be the hottest pregnant mother around. Question, got people's stomach so perfectly shaped one meh? It looks like it's a ball. So round! But Heidi Klum... beautiful!

Rose Bryne. Again, don't know who she is, but definitely looking stunning. Love love love her dress!

I think this dress looks a bit eerie ah. But the site again says otherwise. I mean the girl looks fine. But the dress.. hmm. I don't know. Like her body though.

That's the end of it. How was Ai Li playing judge? Any good?! You had fun?

I think it is the effect of what to wear for dinner later lah!

Why is the weather so hot?

Well, since I have promised myself to look at things on the bright side, at least I finally get to sun my pillows which I believe is the cause for the mushy smell in my room yesterday.

And the possible cause for pillows smelling mushy, drooling on them in my sleep... :)

Just read an email I personally am not too happy to see. Friends know that I use emailing A LOT. Looking at the bright side of things, I thank God that not all the emails I receive on a daily basis are of such 'genre'.

I mentioned it a couple of posts ago about how much I detest people asking me to do work for them. Let alone asking me to do them a favor but make it sound as though I have to take orders from them. Plain ridiculous.

*breathes*

I miss my brother. The one in the States. I think the knowledge of him coming back at end of the year is making me miss him even more. So weird. Or perhaps it is just his emails which are becoming really- urmm, due to the failure of thinking of better word, I shall use.. sentimental.

I never knew I had a coconut tree in my backyard!

Better go write my resume now. =X
