Living here

Received an online casino letter from xxx in my mailbox today. It stated that I was a VIP casino player and have selected to receive this exclusive "Once only" offer at $100 free. Isn't it tempting? hee hee..Before I am going to kick off to use this $100 to generate $5 everyday and slowly $10, I have read up the Online casino law in Singapore. It is illegal..Really sucks..This means I have been taking risk few years back by playing online casino. Too bad, I have to drop the idea now. No black record is allowed now because it is going to affect my immgration. No way..Be patience and I will be back...

"Civil officers get pay increment!!!". This don't sound pleasing at all...How come only applicable to civil servant and not others? We work as hard than them too.."G" is just smart!! On one hand, they increase GST and the other hand, they offset the increase of GST by increasing their own pay. Hey, this is all TPs' money alright!!!

Modelling

Suppose to have a Newman Panel Interview on Friday evening at Swissotel Westin cafe and photoshoot next week, but I have kinda cancelled my appointment. When I was invited, I kinda of sian because of the need to meet another three new friends and mix around to have fun together for the photoshoot. The entire interview and photoshoot will then be published in the magazine. At the moment, memories flashed through me. Recalled the past when I was still young and participated numerous photoshoot. Pictures of mine appeared in magazines, posters and newspapers. It was quite fun at the beginning but eventually I found it very very tired and hectic.

Still remembered my first audition. There were about 8 of us invited for it and only 4 will be selected. Each of us was asked to put our head over a board and the photography will shoot our head only. Of course, we were told to smile happily. The selected model will have their face "painted" using photoshop and published in poster. A poster with 4 heads painted..just imagine..ha ha..Hey, I was one of them alright..

For the second audition, 7 of us were invited and suppose to have a photo published in magazine. It was to advertise t-shirt and we stood in a line posing in relax mode (talking to each other). Each of us was assigned to different colour of t-shirt and at that moment, I was hoping that I will not get the white ones because my green bra will definitely look transulent..Ha ha..and guess what??? I got the white ones..Damn it..."Can I have another color?," I asked the photographer and he made me disappointed. For awhile, I went blank and luckily, a professional model offered me her skin colour bra..Thanks god at the time..

Actually, there were alot of funny stuff to share for all my photoshoots..For one of my photoshoots, because the male model looked taller than me, I was made to stand on a telephone book..Sound embarrassing right?? I am so shorty...sob sob

Everyone thought it was cool to be a model and in fact, it is really a tough job. You are told what to do and smile whole day until the smile looks so fake and at the end of the day, you can no longer have the energy to talk and smile anymore. Besides, during the photoshoot, you cannot even sit down, otherwise you will be told to iron your clothes again..ha ha ha..Sound like slave..

Well, actually it was indeed a precious experience to me. At least not everyone got a chance..

Medication

Have been on Roaccutane for 7 days and noticed my lip is getting dryer..No wonder doctor remind me to apply lip balm regularly..Have also been drinking water regularly because this medication is going to make my skin very very dry. It is a 4 - 6 mth medication course and had signed a agreement form not to get pregnant during this period else the poor baby can get deform. Blood test has been taken during the consultation and have to revisit the doctor in another one week time to see how it progress.

Oggy is back. Hurray, I received three gifts. One bottle of perfume, a dress and a top. Wow, he spent about $300 on me in total..That's alot and to compare with the items I bought for him from bangkok, I felt embarrassed. Ha ha ha..Well, hhmmm, hmm..hm..speechless.

Just another day

That adorable girl begged me to create a website for her..So cute..I thought I could help her when I was there. Too difficult to create without her presence. Not a hurry, I am sure I will be there next week with Oggy.

The new season CSI is here again. Can't wait until next Tuesday..hurray..Am just a tv fleak addicted to American Next Top Model, CSI, Maggie Me, Ghost Whisperer, Project Runway..Chinese show at Channel 8 is getting bad to worst..oh gosh.Same for Channel U..

Counting down to another 4 days to see Oggy..So excited..

Monday is a short day. Half day work only as there is a need to attend staff conference in the afternoon follow by Dinner and Dance. Been wondering what is the door gift..Hope it is not something disappointing..hee hee

The haze outside is so bad..Oh boy, it is making my complexion worst..Idiot and damn rain, when will u arrive to help the world?

Mark it unauspicious day

The song "I can't cry hard enough" should somehow describe my feeling now. Urrgghhh..Been working on the three issues spotted by my DD (note: Not AD nor my users) since this afternoon 3 plus. Luckily managed to get the vendor to fix the issues. Phew..Headache mann. Damn vendor too. Couldn't them do the minimal verification. "TODAY IS SUNDAY ALRIGHT!!"...Guess I am not the only one shouting..My vendor should be cursing me too..I feel so sore now!!

Nevermind. Everything is going to be alright. It is just a job k. Afterall, it is not how hard I fall, but how soft I will land.

ok then, I don't wish to talk much now..I am fleaking mad, tired, frustrated, serve myself right for sending that announcement email to make myself work so hard..For godness sake, I still need to fire fight another issue tomorrow.

I shall mark my calendar 1st of Oct as an unauspicious date thereafter. I swear!!!!!!!!!!!!! No children day as well TOO!!

Anger

Puke blood!! Been trying to get into Standard Chartered internet banking for half a hour. I have really lost my patience and sent a complaint email to their customer service. It is indeed boiling me. Dammit to hell and back...Thought it would be a patience day as I had enough sleep, but I was wrong. Have slept for almost 15 hours non stop till this afternoon 4.30 p.m. Ha ha..Steady right??

I had a stressful day at work on Friday. Worked till 7.30 pm in office. Three items had go live on Friday itself and one to go live on Monday. I managed to complete three items (Thanks god) and the only item to be ready on Monday had a bit of hiccup. Need to settle it on Monday..sigh..Poor me!!

Heard about the permanent scheme and it does not sound good at all. Afterall, I need to have a proper calculation to see if everything is worthy is to convert from contract to perm. My gut feeling is I may stick to the original contract. Quite disappointed about the package though..

Thought of going to Bugis and Boon Keng mrt to get some clothes. I have eyed two clothes at the two respective stores. But somehow, I am too lazy..Perhaps shall make a trip down on Monday after work. Let's see how situation goes.

Here for now..ni-ight.

Dreams

Oggy's phone will be off for a reason. Just sent him off at the aiport 30 mins ago. Gotta misses him lots while he is away to Australia for two weeks and hope he enjoys this trip.

Travelling around the world has always been my dream. I have only been to Malaysia (Redang, Kota Tinggi, KL, Genting, Malacca, JB, Langawi, Tioman), Indonesia (Bali, Bintan), Australia (Perth, Melbourne, Bisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney), Korea, Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket), United States (San Fransico, Boston, Hoston). My next destination will be Europe next year. That's one of my plans.

Besides having a dream to travel around the world, I also hope that one day I have the ability to start a cafe business by the beach...Living a carefree life, walking by the beach everyday with my love, talking to tourist, participating in the sea activities, etc. That is my biggest dream.

Being able to live in my own world, executing my plans and moving forward to my dreams are the motivation in life. Some said I am asking for a lifestyle in life. Is that really true? I can only say different people have different perspective in life. To me, it is not lifestyle, it is quality life.

Finally, I do not like people disturbing my life, threatening my life. To me, these are all disturbance and I need peace to move on in my life. Because of "peace", my surrounding friends always said I am a boring person. Well, basically I do not think so myself because I have my own activites and am enjoying them.

Never a lonely soul..To be alone and to feel loneliness are two different elements. Please do not mix them up ya..

Enuff for now!!. Have to go for a bathe.

Lifestyle

"I'm going to give you a winter look," said my hairdesser and here it goes, strands of hair dropped on the floor. Finally, I had a hair cut and change of colours to my hair. I thought he was a good hair stylist and consultant. He had give me a new look and I thought I love it so much. The strong blue black base and purple strands with gold colour tone here and there looks cool to me. That's what I want. "Simplistic Sexy"..Simple and Sexy..Wow, sit there for four hours was really a torture but at least the result is fabulous.

That's enough. Three hours of facial on Saturday and four hours of hair do on Sunday were really enjoyable. That was pampering. Been to the food court at Botanic Garden, the food was so-so but at least it is a new place to me.

Hady has won the game..The new Singapore Idol and the journey just begin to him..How far can Singapore idol goes? That's a question which puzzles me but anyway, its his dream. Everyone has a dream and how about yours...

I felt so sick today. Very bad headache and still feel my head very heavy. Doctor told me it is a sickness cause by one of my nerves. It will go away after some rest. SOOO, I sleep and sleep like a pig..Still feeling not very good, hopefully it will get better tomorrow..

Patient going to rest..ciao.

My dog

For that moment, it was a fast and furious temper from me at work..After a while, I settled in and everything was fine. We have sort things out calmly between us. Life at work is not easy!

Thanks to Ferando for giving me a white hairy creature. He is a nobody child but my darling dog. His name is cookie. He has been with me for 5 years and given me endless joy and happiness. There with me when I need someone to talk to and play with. Indeed the most precious gift I ever received. Still remember the first sight I caught him. He looked so bony and bald.."Yucks, he looks ugly,", that was the first comment I made. Thinking back, I regretted the thought I made because I have slowly grew love with him everyday..How I wish he can stick with me for my entire life and could not imagine my life without him. I really appreciate the every day life with him because he is already part of me, the part of flesh of mine.."Ouch!" It will be very painful if that flesh is gone. "Cry hard!".

Project Runway is back again..I have an appt with tv every Mon and Wed. ha ha..Sometimes I thought perhaps I can marry to a television since I am so attached to it..Isnt it nice? It will give me whatever I ask for, e.g. laughter, sadness, thrill, colours, etc..

Story of my life for now..To be continue..

Experience

Oh, god. My heart pounched. My breathing almost suspended when I was at the bottom of the sea. Visibility was so bad, I could hardly see anything and was told to take off and clear my mask. Gosh...Take a deep breathe. Phew, experience gone away after the first dive. The second dive was much better and I did enjoy it. I spent my whole morning till afternoon for outside sport..Quite enjoyable though..

The nitrogen in my body made me restless..Felt like sleeping but tv programme always make me awake..ha ha..

Finally plan 3 is completed, plan 4 in the midst of processing and be executing plan 5 in Oct. For plan 6, it will be accomplished in Dec..I am getting closer to my dreams and goals. "Dream is always hard to get, that's why it is called dream," said my Oggy, and I thought I like that statement very much.

Bye for now! Cheers

Just another day

Finally, phew!! I just got my ipod nano fixed. Couldn't understand how come the i-tunes in my office laptop was not working but it worked on the PC at home..Puzzled but anyway, it is done. Case closed.

Had a fullfilling dinner at changi village today. Stream fish and squids and oyster egg..yum yum, sound good huh.....Went up to the 8th floor of Changi hotel where the swimming pool is. Amazingly, it is indeed a nice place. In fact, this hotel looks cool to me..High ceiling, nice decoration, cosy environment, clean, quiet. I feel it is one of the prestigious hotel...Am considering of hosting my ROM soleminzation there...

Tomorrow is Friday..Hurray..counting now..

ciao

Color of Life

Oh Gawd, everyday is fire fighting at work..1 min before I start work, just like a transfomer, change into fireman's uniform, holding a water hose and trying to stop the fire..Flames everywhere..after I can finish one, the another ones comes its way..sigh.Too many projects on hand and wonder, when that someone can come for rescue. Help help...

Thursday is tomorrow, Friday is day after tomorrow, weekend arriving again..Time flies too fast..Before you realise what you are doing, another week is gone..Oh boy, gives me a break

"Are you game for diving this weekend?" asked ray. Background was noisy and I agreed over the phone. Finally plan 3 is coming to an end..Thanks god..

Life is like an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art.

Quality of Life

Met a cab driver today. Though it was a short trip from Temasek Polytechnic to Blk 85, the conversation was interesting. "Singapore is not a place to stay on," said uncle. He talked about his stay in China and back Singapore, later be migrating to Canada. Hmm, a uncle who does not speak good english (not even average) migrating to Canada with his son and wife? Sound rather unbelievable and wonder how he passed his migration test. ha ha..Well, that probably explains why life does not always go the way we think..

Here it goes again. "What is quality life?" Many of us are talking and discussing about quality life but what actually does it mean. The definitions of quality life to me are as follows:-

(1) If I am hospitalised, I do not have to worry about hospital bill;
(2) If I go unemployed, I do not have to worry about surviving;
(3) If my children are not going to support me or leave me, I do not worry about surviving;
(4) If I go bankrupt, I do not worry about surviving;
(5) If I am retiring, I need not have to worry about money in order to live for the rest of my life;
(6) Slow pace, rather than fast pace rushing for time/survival;
(7) Low living cost and standard;

These are all my pursee and how about yours?

That's for now.

Monday Blue

The thought of going to work irritated me so much that it was all I could do is to drag myself to work and finish the pile of work..sound bad huh.."Stop thinking about it. I have to keep moving..Wonder when ACS result will be out so as to move on to complete the second and final stage? "Be patience," I grumbled again.

Saw caleb and gisele's blog today. Babies are so cute and adorable. Mothers and babies' topics echoing almost everyday..Sooner or later, everyone will be talking about schooling, piano class, ballet class, tuition, etc. Guess these are the stages of life most of us have to go through..Me? Hmm, probably dogs and Oggy can keep me occupy in future..ha ha..(Desirably 3 dogs be enough.)

Got to "Rest and Relax" now. Good ni-ight..

A Relaxing Sunday

I certainly did not consider to have my own blog until today. Oggy asked "What is blog?" this morning and I explained it and later thought thru' silently that maybe it is fun to create one for myself. So, here it goes..

Woke up early morning for today dive preparation. Been waiting till now....still waiting...my instructor failed to meet me up. There's a need to stop this agnoy. Urrggghh..Story of my life!

"You're back!" said dad, who was on the point of going out for lunch. "Do you need me to buy you food?". I replied "Nah" lazyly. The weather outside is making me restless but I do enjoy my day in my cosy room.

"How have I progressed this year? Have I come far? Continue to go for it, girl!", thinking deeply in my heart. The fact is, I cant get enough though have done and accomplished alot. Actually the most fulfilling year of my life. Nevertheless, some plans are still going on..Oh, I meant big plans..you know, those "big plans"..

Hmm, work is doing well though busy and stressful. Another 3 and half months, it will be my one year anniversary. Looking forward for my months bonus and conversion to perm staff (another 1 month bonus?). Time flies fast. isn't it? So excited...

From habit, I going back to my TV programmes throughout the day..My way of relaxation and meditation from those stressful weekdays..Oh, kinda sad that I missed one swimming session this week, feel so uncomfortable. You see, age is catching up, there's a need for regular routine exercise and body tone up..

That's for now..ciao..
