It's irritating when someone intercept what you had done halfway without checking with you first.
After listening to the Last Lecture yesterday, I was very inspired to work hard in office today. Or rather, I have quite some stuff I plan to finish by the end of the day. Was kinda stressed yesterday because I was worried I couldnt finish it on time but I'm glad I managed.
So this particular colleague wanted me to help him do something which, in my opinion, is not that urgent. He called me TWICE on the HP to ask me to do it. Fine if you want to check with me, first you can drop an email to check if I got your email on that matter before calling me so many times. When I told him I can only promise him tomorrow, he was like "eh do you have other higher priority things to be done"...
This person 不知道"死"字是怎样写的 >=|
I think I yelled a little when I told him what I am working on... and he started saying he understand how busy we all are this this that that.
I dislike people to nag at me but I really can't stand a naggy guy... -_-"
So I actually managed to finish what he wanted at around 2pm and sent it over. Later he asked me to add in some stuff which requires some intervention from another dept. I emailed him back saying that unless it is an absolute necessity, I advise against it. Instead of replying my email... my good old colleague decided to take the matter into his own hands and email that dept. He kept going on and on about how impt this is blah blah blah...
You pissed me off once, you better back off...
You pissed me off twice, you are better off dead!!
okie, enough of the royal ass-es from work...
I found something I want to buy!!!!
Deprived of a watch for almost a year liao... finally something caught my eye.
It's the Timex Ironman Triathlon 30 Lap Series in RED!!
This is the exact same model as my very first Times watch and it's my all-time fav model!! Now it's in RED!!! Double Coolness!! haha
Too bad I cant find any pictures online to post here... but I will go buy it tmr after work!!
Gotta start running more often niao after I get the watch...hmmm, I detect skepticism
我们走着瞧吧!!
Gloomy, my day is...
Do you ever have the experience to feel just utterly down but you just can't pinpoint what's the cause behind it?
Maybe I miss my bf cuz he away for reservist?
Maybe my turtle is sick and faked its death to me yesterday?
Maybe because this is going to be a long week at work?
Well this list can go on and on... but wat's the point right
So, I got a ride from my colleague to Lot1 after work and decided to walk around. Went to buy my fav Yumi Peach Yoghurt (Which reminds me... have you seen their ad at Novena Square? it says 99% fat free.... if it's not 100%, it's not fat free) I also grab an issue of 8 days before heading back home. While walking back to my place from the station, an article caught my eye (yes, I'm walking and reading at the same time =P)
A professor who was diagnosed with cancer gave his last lecture which was turned into a bestselling book. So I decided to look for his lecture on youtube when I got home. The lecture was slightly more than an hour and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Suddenly I felt so silly to have deprived myself of a day's happiness.
I like what the professor had shared in his Last Lecture and I really think it's worth the time listening to it. He shared about his childhood dreams, how he achieve them, the people he had met and things he learnt.
After watching the video, I can't help but somehow felt that there's really more to what you can do with your life. As repeated several times in his lecture, he shared that brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things. I have to admit that perseverance is certainly not one of my fortes but I'm inspired by what he shared "Don't bail: the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap".
Here's the video by the way...
Every once in a while, I would tell myself that I need a more healthy diet. But to be honest, my daily diet is not all that sinful actually.
Yes, I do have a sweet tooth but I dun gorge on chocolates, cakes, sweets, I juz have a preference for sweet stuff. In fact, peeling off chicken skin is a routine because oily stuff makes me tear. I would probably puke if I down one plate of Char Kway Tiao at one sitting.
I eat rather frequently but usually small meals at a time and according to some studies, such eating habits actually enhances the metabolic rate. Last week while I was out with my cousin, we had a rather heavy dinner at Swensen. She later asked if I will still eat when I get home to which I replied "of course la". Then she say I always eat and eat and eat and eat. I beg to differ... I told her I eat (pause) and eat (pause) and eat... hahaha, must emphasize on the pause between my gobbling sessions.
Although I love to eat, I don't always have good appetite and that is when I'll go for the magical soup+rice combi. Bf always refer this to 病人吃的 but I dun care *bleah*
Also, fruits are definitely not supper-material for me.
When it comes to food, I'm not a very adventurous person. I tend to order the same few type of food whenever I eat at hawker and my bf will always say 你不sian meh? (in fact I only had my first nasi lemak when I was in university!! haa)
During primary school, I had fishball noodles for recess for almost an entire year and the stall auntie always knew what I want even before I order!! *proud proud*
My Hawker Center/Food Court Standard orders
1. Drumstick rice
2. Lemon Chicken Rice
3. Fishball noodles (or dong fen)
4. Wanton noodles
5. Hor Fun
6. Hokkien Mee
7. Chicken Chop
8. Spaghetti Bolognese
9. Nasi Lemak
10. Teriyaki Chicken
I love Sakae Sushi and I have standard orders too! I love Ika Sushi although, according to my bf, it's tastless -_-" (I think his taste bud not as gd as mine =P)
There are standard orders even for drinks. It's either Milo (usually breakfast time), chrysanthemum tea or Pepsi. Less frequently, Root Beer, Lemon Barley, Sprite and coke(if pepsi is not available). Jialat la, I'm like the DE most boring person when it comes to food... am I wasting my life on earth?
Now I am depressed....*fake tears*
Anyway, just before I shutup and go to sleep...
I was telling my bf that this skirt I ordered online is quite short and he say sexy sexy la. Tsk tsk, if got wind blow how? That is NOT a sexy sight lor (not because I dun have nice buns, I even have nice legs to go with my nice buns can?!! *haolian*)
Just because I have it, doesn't mean I have to flaunt it right... why 便宜 the perverts le? That's when suddenly I had an idea....
The blisters on my feet are killing me!!! kena 欺负 by blisters... *sob*
Only slippers and trackshoes are non-blister inducing *sigh*
I am so very tempted to whine about what shit I got at work today...
可是百忍成金！
我忍，我忍，我忍..!!!
On my way to be 超级金刚人liao！
But actually I kinda took it out on this unfriendly grey cat. While waiting for my bf for dinner, I chased the cat around for a while...hahaha
Revenge is sweet...Hahaha
This is for leaving a scar on my hand >=|
(I'm a mega cat-lover btw...Reealllii!!!)
Super Cool poster right...hahahaI found this pair of "couple" msn display picture recently. Requested my bf to put it up with me...
Someone said that some of man's clearest thoughts come to him when he is sitting on the toilet bowl. Well, I don't think there's any concrete evidence for that but there's a possibility that this idea stems from the famous Thinker sculpture.
Feeling lethargic at work today... -_-"
I should not have taken that nap when i reach home yesterday.
Not all naps are good you know...
Today, I shall sleep before 11.05 which means I have 5 mins to finish this post here *hehe*
Actually I cant think of anything I want to write about particularly. Does this have anything to with my humdrum life or is it I just stop using my brain to think... right and these already took me 3mins to write -_-"
Nvm...
Well, by the way I'm one of the face for RP now...
I love Dogbert!! I've been looking for a Dogbert plush toy but there's not a decent one available anywhere *sulk*
He is probably the main reason why I enjoy Dilbert Comic so much...
"Build A Better Life By Stealing Office Supplies" is a must read!! I am so going to get one copy for myself >=|
Some Dogbert moments here...
Your biggest asset is rampant ignorance.
You would never start a project if you knew how much it would really cost.
Employees stay here because they don't know there are better jobs across the street.
Customers buy your products because they don't know about all the bugs.
I recommend wearing trash cans on your heads to avoid accidental exposure to knowledge.

Quite a busy day for me today...
Recently I've decided to grade my class on the day itself between breaks, during lunch time and right after the lesson. Although it takes some discipline to do so, I realise it's actually easier and faster because the memory of what each student did was still very fresh in my mind. So far, I've managed to finish my comments by the end of the day before I knock off. It used to be a dread writing comments for all the students and I would take more than half a day to grade one class. But now, because of the change, I actually have more time at hand to do other work.
My productivity at work seems to be improving!! ^^
A while back I was rather upset about the lack of prospect of my job, the pay, the sucky job title (it still sucks btw) and was contemplating if I should "jump boat" before I sink and drown *buruu buruu buruu*... a light beam from heaven struck my head somewhere somehow...
*Dee VOICE from heaven*
For what is a man profitted if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? ~ Matthew 16:26 ~
Alot of my friends, although they earn more than me, their job is more inflexible and takes up alot of their time. Sometimes it's very easy for me to fall into envy of their more "glam" jobs and feel bitter towards my own. When such bitterness takes root in my subconscious mind, I find that I'm irritable with the people and tasks that is related to my work. I drag my feet to work and when your attitude towards something is not right, what you produce will not be good as well. And this means no satisfaction from the job too!!
This is a 凶悍的圈圈(my translation for vicious cycle, dictionary translation is 恶性循环) eh before you criticize about my lousy translation, please take two fat bananas and shove it up your gap and DONT criticize...hehe
Okie, back to the topic... What I've come to realise is that earning more and having a more "glam" job is not what life is all about (speaking for myself here). I should not base my worth on how much my pay is; simply because it is not a good indication of one's worthiness anyway. What is important is how much I am "enjoying" my life now. At present. When I say "enjoy", it does not mean having fun only, it also includes the satisfaction derived from what I do as well. As long as I'm happy, it is really not that a big deal how many zeros I get in my paycheck because I am already happy now. Having realised that, it seems that I became more productive and actually enjoy my work more.
Back when I was a student, I always hear pastor preaching about enjoying work and don't fall into the "trap" of working solely for the money. I thought to myself, what's the big deal about it, just do what you need to do la, compare so much and so unhappy for what. Haha... but I was totally oblivious to it when I've crossed over to the DARK SIDE.
heeheehee, 哇si Darth Vader hor, dun pray pray arh....
I guess, in the end, what really is important is...
Spent almost the whole day in my room surfing the net... then bf asked if I want to go makan dinner so I thought I should go out and get some "fresh" air.
Went to Lot1 and bf bought me a cushion!!
Check out my blue Fat Cat cushion!! No no, it's a grinning blue fat cat...
Hmmm, Eeyore seems to find something
He is definitely up to something
Oooo... a yellow ribbon for Cat Cat!! Awww
Now I know why...haha

Anyway, I plan to revamp this blog over here, kena dark hor the layout. Thinking of making it into something brighter and more cheerful and perhaps more girly?? hehe

I actually went online to search for cute website resources to design my blog but there's wasnt much until I realise I should search the taiwan websites instead. Gosh!!! their stuff are so cute!!!! *faint dramatically* (wat do I mean by fainting dramatically? it means I will spin one round then fall onto the ground so gracefully that I will put all the ballerinas to shame!! wahahaha)
