Overall, It's Been A Good Day

Tonnes of ups and downs today actually. But I feel like I am going to be ending today on a good note. :D

So work was mad today, considering I have been away for 10 days. Amazingly, I cleared out all my backdated emails by 2ish, had lunch and again did some work and then went in for my very first official meeting with the lecturers which pretty much covered my whole afternoon from after lunch till I got off work.

Got home, changed, made an irrational impulsive decision and met the peeps from KT for drinks at SkyBar because it was someone's birthday. Bailed early though, which is amongst one of the best decisions I have made the past couple of days.

Went into Sephora to check out nail colors, played with their greens only to realize Mom is into greens too when she picked me up! Hehe, gonna coax her into buying some new greens for our collection. I like Jade is the New Black! Thanks Mommy! <3

Also, I wanted to treat myself to a mani and pedi but after tonight's expenditure, I don't think I can afford that pampering. Sighs.

Not-so-random-but-still-pretty-random. I really wonder how culture plays a role in how people treat relationships. Because it's kinda true hey, Westerners are more 'loose' when it comes to relationships, or at least those that I have been interacting with. Then again, so are some Asians. At the end of the day, who am I to judge. Pass.

I cannot remember my HSBC online banking username. Can't check if my pay has gone through for the month. =(

Oh ohhhh! On top of my Sail Racing bag, I also got a new pair of sunnies, Sworke Apyros, FOC!

How awesome is that lah! =))

Come Back, Come Back, Come Back To Me Eli

November is coming to an end. It's going to be December soon..

LOL, that was a misleading title wasn't it?

Well, actually, that was really what I thought it was when I heard it on the radio, so I Googled it and realized that it's not. But even when I played the song on youtube, it sure sounded the same.

Taylor Swift - If This Was A Movie

Credit

Last night I heard my own heart beating
Sounded like footsteps on my stairs
Six months gone and I’m still reaching
Even though I know you’re not there

I was playing back a thousand memories baby
Thinking about everything we’ve been through
Maybe I’ve been going back too much lately
When time stood still and I had you

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you’re sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you’d be here right now

I know people change and these things happen
But I remember how it was back then
Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing
Cause nothing like this ever happened to them

Now I’m pacing down the hall
Chasing down your street
Flashback to a night when you said to me
Nothing’s gonna change, not for me and you
Not before I knew how much I had to lose

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you’re sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you’d be here right now

If you you’re out there, if you’re somewhere, if you’re moving on
I’ve been waiting for you wary since you’ve been gone
I just want it back the way it was before
And I just want to see you back at my front door

And I say
Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, before you said it’s not that easy
Before the fight, before I left you out
But I take it all back now

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You would, you would if this was a movie
Stand in the rain outside til I came out

Come back, come back, come back to me like
You could, you could if you just said you’re sorry
I know that we could work it out somehow
But if this was a movie, you’d be here right now

You’d be here right now
It’s not the kind of ending you want to see now
Figure out a better ending
Oh
I thought you’d be here right now
Whoa oh
Thought you’d be here right now . . .

I have got jelly arms. We did this human centipede thingy today to transfer what seemed like a container full of boxes/ cartons of drinks. It was fun while it lasted albeit really testing ones my strength and fitness. My arms are seriously just dying now.

Back home, back to work tomorrow, back to being what is. :D

Anyone Of Us

I love this song. It's playing on the radio.

Fb is bad, very bad. I see news I don't really want to see. Please don't tell me it's what I had expected. Please. I don't think I can stomach it.

But let's exclude the people, the gist of it is that there really is no such thing as a happy ending in this world is there? I meant the fairy tale kinda happy ending, not the kinky happy ending. Sighs.

I only had one glass of red wine, one cup of vodka and soda, and half a can of gin tonic, still sober much. What was I thinking lah, gosh.

On a brighter note, I got a sail racing bag, Christmas came early!

Being Around People With Super High Energy Levels

Makes me.. tired.

It was like this in the previous company. And it is like this here. I am aware though, that the problem lies with me. Why am I so problematic? No lah, I am just normal.

I don't know how they do it. Rather, how she does it. But meh whatever.

The girls went shopping yesterday. Seemed like they had fun. I really wished I was there too.

Blue nail polish today, supporting our favorite team in the most subtle possible manner.

Go team!

Alcohol Is Sometimes Good For Me

My friend asked me last night, as I was telling her I was drinking, she asked, What type of drunk are you?

I am inclined to believe I am the happy drunk. 

The peaceful drunk. That's awesome isn't it?

Anyway, last night was a good night. You don't typically think that people think when they have had a couple of drinks, but they do!

The sequence is somewhat like the following, they notice things, they observe longer and then they decide to ask/talk about it and you will talk about it too because obviously alcohol reduces restraint.

One question I had last night was, What does your anklet mean?

So anyway, I had dinner with the boys at the most popular halal Chinese restaurant in town (because everyone else was there too), we had a couple of drinks and then we went to have cake at Secret Recipe, oh yums the butterscotch pecan, omg the calories (which reminds me I was supposed to hit the gym this morning which obviously didn't happen and to think that my last visit was 7 days ago).

Then they dropped me back at the pool where I subsequently made the above realization that people do notice things, they just don't talk about it.

Random: I just sneezed twice, someone must be missing me a hell lot this morning.

And I was saying. Hmmm. 

I really hope my contact lenses will come off today, it didn't wanna come out the day before, well one side came off and the other didn't, I went into a panic and texted 6 different people asking for help. It did come out in the end thank God but I was so scared I didn't wear my contacts yesterday and relied on my glasses instead. But rain and sun and whatnot doesn't go well with glasses! 

Though people did say I was cute wearing my glasses! <-- I am a narcissist, I have to say it, cannot help it. :P

Also, I have found the most comforting sleeping arrangement on my awesome king bed in my awesome room... Sorry Mom I didn't allow you to come because I refuse to share my bed, I am selfish! LOL

So right, I have 4 pillows on my bed (which are awesome too no less), and the best method to sleep is to put two pillows on each side of me, with the 2 remaining for my head... It is awesome! Which reminds me that I had a weird dream last night. I only remember it being weird, but I can't remember what was it about though.

So anyway. I probably still have some alcohol left in my body which explains the wordiness of today's post but whatever lah, not like I have anything to do in the office now while everyone else is up at the skipper's briefing... At least no rain in sight yet!

Have a great weekend people. <3

Maximum cheese.

Had a round of rum and Coke with the rest of the race comm last night (well actually maybe just slightly more than a round), awesome lot, I love them! Crashed without changing into my PJ's even. Woke up at 5 to this song playing on the radio..


Had to post it, I used to be such a fan once upon a time! :D

If no, it's okay. It just means you're normal.

To be completely honest, I didn't do all those quizzes today. Some were accumulated. It's just today seemed like a good day to post them all.

It stopped raining for a bit! =)

Frequent Updates Today; Because I Am Mighty Bored

Primarily because I am probably going to sit in the office the whole of today again, and also because I need to talk.

For starters, yesterday was a hell of a boring day. There was nothing much to do and I was just bored all day.

I have one thing though, that I need to get off my chest.

You know how I am a little anal obsessive compulsive when it comes to orderliness, neatness and cleanliness right? I absolutely can't stand it when people aren't.

It's been raining all morning today, it was raining all day yesterday too. Most sailors are here now, funny how they are all world champions in their own rights, yet some of them are really really down to earth and nice. So that kinda reaffirms the point that not all people who are somewhere up there are snobs.

That's always nice to know.

I was just told, no flip flops tomorrow because some VIP is coming. Sigh, shoes, in this rain. Not fun. Soggy feet.

On the bright side, the volunteers/ kids from KL are here. And one of them, by far, I have spotted one, is pretty cute, he actually said hi to me when no one was in the office. Cheeky much.

I actually haven't done much at all since getting in here this morning. But the gist of it is, most people have arrived, familiar faces some, some not so familiar faces, some totally new... but that's all part of the job.

Time to work some, if I can find something to do that is.

Update I

So Mandy gave me 3 months to get well. I will be well.
In the meantime..

I. AM. REALLY. BORED.

Update II

Quite a bit of stripping was going earlier in the race office. Why do only the old ones strip?!

-____-"

I was only kidding. I should really tell them they need to have at least their t-shirt and shorts on. And no, boxers don't count as shorts Mr. You.

Was so bored earlier I ended up helping them sweep the sail loft floor. That's really how bored I was. I was actively looking for work.

It's funny how all these people keep coming in to have their weights checked when I am so used to people being way under the weight limit.

Anyhow. As bored as I was, I hadn't been over-thinking today. Think I am finally coming to terms with myself yay me. Or maybe it was just hormones previously...

Rain whole day. Rain rain rain. Pizza for lunch. Huge bar of Toblerone from Aussieland. Koala sitting on the top of my screen...

Hmmm, when will today end? So pessimistic..

Actually no, I am just tired of being bored.

Back On Track (Updated Again)

After sleeping for 3 hours on Thursday/Friday night (depending on how you want to see it), and an additional 40 mins on the bus to KLIA, and another 40 mins on the flight to KT, checking in upon arrival, and pretty much go out sailing straight after, I was tired by the end of yesterday.

I like sailing, but I don't like...

1. Coaching newbies how to sail
2. On a Foundation 36
3. Alone
4. Particularly when they don't take instructions very well

But the guys were alright yesterday. It wasn't that bad. I was just really tired.

Slept a good 8 hours last night. Awesome room, awesome bed. That has to be the best part of working here!

Woke up this morning, went to the gym for a bit, went back, showered, had breakfast, got into the office, had one whole packet of M&M's... 

Same thing again today it seems. Meeting in another 4 mins or so. 

That means, I got to run now!

You Are Simply You

You believe in originality and tolerance. You think the world needs more diversity, not less. You are not confrontational or aggressive. You take a mild-mannered approach to dealing with people. You have no desire to lead or follow. Anyone is welcome to join you on your journey for a while. You are loyal to people no matter what. You remain true.

The Window Test

The First Rule of Blogthings Is: You Don't Talk About Blogthings

I am tired again. I don't think it's sleep related this time. And this feeling of tiredness is no good. It's the feeling of being tired of people. And I like people, I shouldn't be tired of people.


Go away stupid feeling.


It's all good now. Old sails come off, new sails go on. That means, no more corporate sailing for me! Anyhow. The afternoon session today was kinda liberating. The people on the boat were really nice people and they took instructions really well, fast learners too. Not whiny and serious enough when I am being serious.

Snacking all day. Had a Boost choco bar for lunch and I am now munching on cheese Pringles and Sunmaid raisins.. I wonder if I'll be losing weight or putting on weight. Shikes..

No rain so far! Bright and sunny day 1, bright and sunny day 2. Let's hope for no rain all week.

I am going to be creating my to-buy-list tonight. If you're planning on getting me something for Christmas, please consult me first okay! =)

Bye for now!

Probably no more updates today unless something really dramatic occurs.. I rather not.

Two Songs For A Thursday Night

But if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light,
Sometimes, fate and your dreams can collide.

Cause everything will be okay,
I know that it's so easy to say,
But the pain inside will fade.

Credit; Lyrics

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you.

Credit; Lyrics

Both were songs that 'spoke' to me today while driving...

TGIF tmr! And I am off to KT.

Enjoy! =)

Thoughts Before Bed

A friend once said, 3 times lucky. Maybe? You think? Maybe..

Dear Throat, the doctor said that you're on the road to recovery already! So why are you still coughing? Either the doctor's a cheat or you're just really rebellious.

Colleagues commented on my eyelashes today. One said, "Are they real?"

I am glad that you're getting better, now that I am no longer in the picture. Though I have to admit, it kinda hurts to know that you're better off without me. Or that I was such a hmm... burden (for the lack of a better word, I blame limited vocabulary), for that, I guess I am sorry.

Do me a favor? Don't ask, don't judge, and don't be overly concerned. Thanks.

I don't cough when I am at work. Me thinks, I need more work, or I need to work more. I cannot believe I just said those words.

It seems KT is pouring and I just packed my bags. But ayee, it's really messy. Everything's a mess. Probably should repack my bag.

Mommy gave me money this morning, and it sparked a little debate. It was along the lines of her thinking I am not capable of taking care of myself and me telling her that I am and her telling me, that's only what I think. I am inclined to prove her wrong, I just don't know how to.

Daddy sent me an email too. The rare kind of email, the ones that reminds me how much he loves me. I do feel loved.

Hillsongs - Mighty To Save

Dear Dr M, must you really be such a pain? Must you? I used to really like you, and I don't want to hate you. But if you keep being an ass, I don't think I can make myself not hate you. And while I think I was a bit rude today, I totally think that your demands are far-fetched. Please be nice.

It's okay if you spill my secrets. By the very fact that I told you, I had risked that possibility. It's just that I trusted you enough. I just wished you could've been more honest about it too. But I will still love you anyway.

I am surrounded by such wonderful people. I sometimes wonder if I truly deserve them.

It's just to help me sleep, sweet dreams people around the world! <3

Did You Do Something To Your Hair Today?

No. In fact, today is the only day I didn't do anything to my hair.

I didn't pin my bangs up.

That's the only difference.

I Hate Pain

I really really really don't like pain, not at all. Not one bit.

Yes, yes, I know. Pain makes us grow. Makes us stronger.

At the end of the day, I am still only human.

So I promise I won't hurt for too long. =)

Blogthings Says I Am Goal Oriented

You Are Goal Oriented

You've figured out systems that work for you in life, and you rely on those systems for stability. You don't dislike alone time... in fact, you savor it. You grow and learn the most when you're by yourself. Focused and super charged, your instincts are a good guide for your next step. Sometimes you wish you could express yourself better, but you don't feel like you know how to do it.

AND, BTW, FYI

I AM NOT EMO!

I had a weird day at work, but who doesn't have weird days right.

Humm, it's raining outside, maybe warm shower, Earl Grey and an early night..

I hope everyone's doing alright great! <3

Perfect!

Half Moon Nails Version 2

Revlon's Craving Coral and Skin Food's black polish

Fulfilling day. =) Let's see. What did I do today. Dimsum, new cardigan, Nando's, Daiso shopping, controlled impulses, Starbucks tumbler, free parking!

I think I need to do some grocery shopping tomorrow. Also need to reply some messages.

In the mood for some mamak food. Consistently hungry today. Alien in my stomach must've reproduced. -_-

Ivy Choong! I have a photo for you, in my phone, about.. something that'll make you wanna pull your hair out. I think Mandy will laugh too. So would Sharon. I think, maybe. Show you at work on Monday because I am too lazy to transfer the file onto my computer and I haven't mastered blogging from my phone.

Off to KT on Friday, doesn't leave me much time to get much done. Better sort out my to do list with those of utmost priority on top..

Hmmmm... =)

Same Thing, 2 Different P's

Glitter polishes are so pretty;

But they are such a pain to remove.

I Am Very Easily Pleased

Nothing a good dinner can't cure.

Marmite sotong! <3

It's Friday tomorrow, TGIF! And of course it is the 11-11-11. Doing anything special?

But I question that. Why only do special things on (so called) special days? If you do special things on normal days, normal days become special too!

Humans. And their ways of thinking.

Stuffed. Gonna clear out the closet and do some closet cleaning tonight! =)

I am very easily pleased.

Strange

I am rather successful at being likeable today. As in. Today, I think I am consistently coming across as a likeable person.

Which is, of course a good thing.

I suppose.

It's been pretty good thus far. I hope it stays good. Or it would be even better if it could get any better than it already is... But I shan't be greedy.

Obvious ain't it? It's been a good day. It's been a good long weekend in fact.

Office girl today. Printing documents for the boss and whatnot. Answering phone calls too.

Almost ripped my skirt today. Tried jumping hopping skipping up 3 steps with my work skirt. Bad move. Never do it again.

Also went to the dentist today. He said I need to have my wisdom tooth removed. Don't want to! Scared.

I have a massively long to do list. Wonder if I'll ever clear it.

Got my KT air tickets too. Like finally. 10 days disappearance from the 18th to the 28th.

Looking forward to my home in KT once more..

Good Morning World

It's Friday! TGIF!

Gigi still sakit. =(
Probably really should go get it checked.

I will be on leave over the weekend. =)
Don't expect to hear from me till Monday night/ Tues morning.

Happy be-earlied birthday Betsy Yeo, your present...

Credit

LOL. Love you!

Miss me, but don't miss me too much, I'll be back!

Dear Mr Grumpy,

I hope you're not so grumpy anymore.

Grumpy people don't smile. 

But smiling is good. 

You told me so.

Love, 

Me

Things I Can Do If I Wanted To

I can cry very easily if I wanted to.

And I Missed The First Bus Again

But it wasn't bad. Because I just waited for the second bus and made it to work anyway. =)

I am good at some things. OK at others, not so good at some. But some things, I just completely fail. And this has to be one of it.

I've lost my train of thought again. Rawr.

My wisdom tooth is hurting me again... =(

One Question, 4 Words

What was I thinking.

And Here Comes November

I just had the urge to write about something this morning.

My work inbox is filled. And I have yet to really read through them. But quickly, some thoughts first.

2 more months till year end. Where on Earth did the other 10 months go to? It's true, the older you grow, the faster time flies. Ugh.

If I think of it in terms of production line... This is how it goes. The parents as in the main factory. So the planning starts, then the production. then the testing and then the development, then further development and then the packaging. I am a pretty good package no? You have to agree.

My parents did a fasntastic job I reckon. /glee

Started doing work mid way so this was left hanging... And I can't think now because my brain is on work mode already.

Might update this again later... Might not.
