Sort of back
November 5, 2009
Yes I know I have neglected this blog long enough.
I’m just starting to get used to my working hours and don’t feel as tired as I did when I first started the job.
It’s an interesting job when it comes to the people I get to meet. Sometimes I hit a block and can’t find the perfect angle to start the story but I’m slowly getting there. I suppose it’s true when people say things get easier with time.
I got paid last week and have already bought myself an early birthday present; a handphone. Not just ANY handphone but a PINK(!) one. Coincidently the moment I paid up for the phone and was about to leave, I bumped into a friend of mine whom I have no seen in a while and somehow seeing her made me way too happy for my own good for the rest of the night. It was Siew Pin AKA Soupy!
Then again, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not because she knew I was going to be there (but didn’t know what time) so I almost suspect that she headed over that general direction just to see if we would bump into each other. I should ask her that. Hehe
Either way, seeing her really made my night. I almost wanted to hug her but felt self-conscious to because there were tons of people around.
It’s strange because I haven’t felt that sort of happiness in a while. Work is taking a lot of my social life (as if I had a lot of social life to begin with). I do enjoy interacting with my colleagues whom I’ve gotten to know more and more everyday.
Anyhow I think I’m babbling away so I’m going to stop here. Have to a function to cover tomorrow at 9am. Will write when I get the chance too. Au revoir!
P/S: Pictures of my front page article! *jumps in joy*
P/P/S: You know when I said I meet interesting people everyday? This is one of the SIAW “interesting” ones.
WOOT

I wrote a 4-page article today. Wondering if it’ll be published tomorrow. :dream:
BLAH
October 25, 2009
This is the second time I’m sittng in front of the computer not knowing what to write. I’ve been tempted to just shut everything down and go to bed but I feel somewhat a little guilty neglecting my blog.
Nothing interesting going on with my life. I’m sure most know by now that I’ve started working. The hours are longer than usual jobs. My life cycle goes something like this
Wake up -> talk to Rob -> go to work -> come home from work -> eat -> back to work sometimes -> sleep -> repeat process.
So please tell me what am I suppose to write about? Heh
Plus I signed a contract with work and one of the clauses said “I shall faithfully and honestly preserve strick silence in reference to any transactions or affairs of the company that may come under my observaton or knowledge” so I can’t exactly talk about work related things here. 😛
I must be getting old or something (as much as I hate to admit it) because I’m feeling rather tired at 10pm so off to bed I go!
Au revoir!
MUST GLOAT!
October 16, 2009
If any of you read the local paper yesterday you might have seen a familiar name on the FRONT PAGE. 😀
If you haven’t, check it out at http://www.theborneopost.com/?p=59871
WOOHOOO MY FIRST FRONT PAGERÂ :dream:
GLOAT GLOAT GLOAT GLOATÂ :party:
Okay, I’m done gloating. I gotta go to slave myself work now. :puke:
Bye!
Out
October 12, 2009
Won’t have a lot of time to blog from now.
Just started a job last week but I do not forsee myself staying there long but who knows? I may grow to love it SO MUCH that I won’t quit.
It’s a long shot because the hours are long and the pay is hardly worth it. I have no fixed lunch hour and most of the time I forget to eat or too busy to. Hmmmm I wonder if my tummy looks flatter. 😕
Had to work til about 9pm my first day so that was a total turn-off for me! You know how they say first impression is everything (well, almost). I work weekends too. Yes, very tragic. 😛
I started to get withdrawal sympthons 2 days into the job for not spending enough time with Rob.
I don’t know if I can say “Well it’s better than nothing”. I almost want to say it but I haven’t made up my mind completely yet.
Anyway, I better sign off now.
Bye!
Songs
October 1, 2009
*Wrote this quite a while ago and forgot to publish*
In times of hardships and frustrations, I’ve begun to really appreciate the wonders of music in helping me get through it.
I have spent many hours sitting in my room, analysing every single detail of every single speck of my life when things go wrong. I usually have the radio on and once in a while, lyrics from a song would catch my attention and give me some form of clarity.
One of my favourite is “Walking Away” by Craig David. I’ve always liked songs by Craig David. It’s quite an old song, I know, but the lyrics just caught my attention right away a few months ago when I heard it on the radio again after so long.
Part of the song goes like this:
Sometimes some people get me wrong
When its something I’ve said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
Thats why you turn and run
But now I truly realise
Some people dont wanna compromise
Well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
And well I don’t wanna live my life too many sleepless nights
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away
I found the music video on Youtube so take a listen if you’re interested.
Anyway, other songs that I find inspirational (for the lack of other terms) include:
- If today was your last day – Nickleback (my currrent most favourite)
- Let it be – The Beatles
- The show – Lenka
- I don’t want to be – Gavin DeGraw
- More than anyone – Gavin DeGraw
- Chariot – Gavin DeGraw
- More to life – Stacie Orrico
- Dare you to move – Switchfoot
- The climb – Miley Cyrus (yes, Hannah Montana. Lame, I know) 😛
Heow heow heow
September 28, 2009
This is probably one of the best videos I’ve watched on Youtube.
It may not be so funny at first but when you get to the good part (and you will know what it is when you watch it) you will laugh your ass off. Â
I laugh so hard I cried.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Gradumacated
September 16, 2009
*I uploaded the pictures, pasted the html codes AND THEN FREAKING IE ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR AND IT SHUT DOWN!!! I had to copy paste the codes AGAIN! ^%$#@!*
As many of you already know, I graduated last month. The ceremony was LONGGGGGGG. I got to the university about 7am and the ceremony didn’t start til like 8.30 or so because we were waiting for VIPs. Speech after speech later, the ceremony ended at 12.30pm! It was a crazy hot day and I was sweating like pig underneath the pink(!) gown.
I’ve been asked how it feels to be graduated a couple times and I seriously don’t know how to answer that question. I’m at a loss for words to describe the feeling but it’s not because of happiness. I suppose the journey of reaching the finish line wasn’t what I expected it to be and so it took away from the excitement and happiness, I think? I don’t know. I haven’t quite figured it all out yet. If you follow my blog, you would have somewhat of an idea.
Anyway, I shall let the pictures complete the post.
Yours truly on the big screen
My mom took this pictures as I walked out of the hall
With the parents
Soupy my good friend and hubby came by bearing gifts!
With my favourite Soupy 😀
Somewhere in campus
Library behind us
The picture above is dedicated to Soupy. (Hi!!!! *waves*) I’m actually holding a pink stuffed toy octopus, a gift from Soupy. She gave it to me simply because it’s PINK. :)) I’ve named the pink octopus Rosie because, well it’s pink, AND the name of the person who gave it to me is Rose. =))
With dirty Leo
This was taken after getting dolled up for studio pictures
For now, I’m not going to post up the pictures I had taken at the studio. I personally think that they Photoshop the pictures too much to the extent that I look plastic but it’s not that bad I suppose because it was pretty cheap. Hehe
Gifts
The one person I had wished to be there is Rob, because he has helped me so much with my Postgraduate debacle but I guess we can’t always get what we want in life. Either way, I couldn’t have done it without out you baby. 😡 :-*
And now, I continue my job hunt!
Barn Buddy – The End?
September 13, 2009
I still play Barn Buddy on a daily basis but considering taking the game out completely from my Facebook. A few reasons why.
- I already bought up ALL the plots in my farm.
- I’m now up to level 38 and to get to level 39 I need to acquire 7700 experience points. 😐
- And by the time I get to the next level, the only reward I get is “2 strong fertilizer”. Seems kinda pointless now.
- I have planted absolutely every single plants about 10 or so times now.
- I have bought the chicken…TWICE. It’s still funny watching the chicken jump up and out comes the egg. The chicken then looks between its leg with the look of “That came outta me?!”.
- All the weeding and bugging and cleaning up is starting to lose its appeal.
- There are some people who make the game less fun than it used to be because of their, shall I say, over competitiveness and seriousness towards the game? I mean after all, it’s only a GAME. :whistle:
Anyway I haven’t completely decided yet. I have nothing much to blog about other than bimbotic things like my favourite new nail polish called Persian Indigo or my collection of shiny hair clips or shoes etc so I will spare you the pain.
Oh yeah, the favicon for my blog is FINALLY up on Internet Explorer. It only took oh, a FEW WEEKS! 8-|
It showed up on the same day when it was uploaded on Firefox. I’m starting to think that IE sucks. Wondering if I should just move over to Firefox.
For some reason, my eyelid hurts when I blink and it itches too. It’s been going on for a couple days now. I hope it’s nothing. The last thing I need is to get sick or something. So I guess that’s my cue to get some early sleep.
Have a great week ahead everyone!
Mmm bop
September 11, 2009
If you read my previous post, you would know that I tortured Rob with the Mmmbop song  just a couple days ago.
Anyway, I had a hard time falling asleep that night (serves me right) because I kept having that stupid song in my head. It was like I could hear myself singing that song in my head over and over again. Heck, I even caught myself humming that song while laying in the dark!
The next day (yesterday) I told Rob about my “predicament” of falling asleep the night before.
He laughed at me and threw in a few smartass comments during our conversation.
S: So how did YOU sleep last night?
R: Eh, not too bad. Didn’t fall asleep right away…
S: Oh? How come?
R: Not too sure. BUT I know it wasn’t anything like yours. I wasn’t hearing some song in my head. :smug:
S: OH YOU SUCK! :-L
R: =))
S:Â That was a low blow!
R: *proudly* Oh it SO was
After we said goodnight yesterday (after he made fun of me not being able to fall asleep), he messages me on the phone 30 minutes later saying “Damnit! That song is in my head now! I went to the bathroom and damn near hum that song! You suck!”. My reply to him was simply “LOL”. I get nothing from him, until 15 minutes later saying “It won’t get out of my head! Make it stop!!!”
=))
So now that we both have that song severely implanted in our heads, I shall attempt to spread it to the rest of you. I can’t embed the original music video of the song here from Youtube, I guess for copyright reasons, so here’s a link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd0C_Us31kk&feature=fvst
I did however find a live version in case you’re too lazy to click the link above. Enjoy getting the song OUT of your head! 😀

P/S: Check out all those screaming girls! Yes I probably would be one of them if given the chance at the time *hangs head in shame* =))
