Quickie...
Happy Birthday to me dear colleague, Fanana. Err... her real name is Shawn. Either way people won't believe either name is hers.     Then my bestest smoking kaki (buddy) left for greener pasture last Friday. *sob sob* He will be sorely missed. I know the photos don't make sense, but it was kinda complicated to explain.

Ugly petty?
I may be having a hangover right now but I am not taking back my words. I hate petty, calculative people... especially at work! If you're a friend outside of work, I can easily say adios. But if you're a part of my working team, its fucking hard to avoid your immature pettiness! Fuck you're a man for goodness sake! If you can't find something that you're looking for (a piece of paper from many months ago), dun accuse me that I do not want to give it to you just cos I said I do not know where it is! I fucking honestly do not know where your paper is! What makes you think if I have food on my table, you automatically deserve to share with me but if its on yours, I am not entitled to have a piece without fulfiling some cheapass condition of yours? Fuck you! Did you know this guy rather I test the strength of my bladder cos he thinks its ok to not allow me to pee in his toilet (home)? I had to travel, in a bus, for a good 40minutes to reach home to pee, godamnit! Actually I don't mind you doing all this to me, but fucking don't embarass me infront of those I care about and don't treat them like you were to treat me! Not everyone has high level of tolerance as I do, DICKWART! If you're reading this... OOPS! What are you gonna do about it?

Tools Down...
We had this event on Thursday 15 May in some clubhouse in Bukit Batok organised by our parent company. We had mass aerobics, Captain's Ball tournament (pretty dramatic one, I must say) and speech by the big man (of the parent company, not ours). I spent hours to create this and I'm friggin' proud of it and here I go, showing it off for the world to see :P I will be uploading the photos somewhere... sometime this week.

What have I been up to?
Attended a wedding  Bought 2 boxes of cupcakes for the whole office (Ahem... why do you think I did that?)  Celebrated Vanez's birthday  Celebrated Eugene's birthday  Celebrated Reela's Birthday in the most unconventional way  I went on vacation: Perhentian Island, Terengganu, Malaysia     I seriously have no time to upload the massive amount of photos I have on hand. These will be sufficient for my keepsake here. Toodles~ Labels: birthday, friends, happiness, travel, work

Dear eyelids...
Don't fudge on me now. I have work to do and you're not helping me one bit. I let you shutdown late Sunday night but you refused! I can't take it anymore. I hate you and I never want to see you again! Fudge off, you damn eyelids!

Annual Report 2007
Well, if you had forgotten, I had scrapped the idea of having resolutions since last year. Mainly due to the fact that I never fulfiled them and I tend to not care about them at all. But I did mention I wanted to pick up a new skill. Well...
I guess I did tried to do better in life and work. I remember having all this self-realisation, self-discover shitzz for a couple of months. I blame it on my quarter life crisis. For once I notice how much I've grown and I've also realised how precious time is. Charly, the french fry, came down to Singapore again for his internship. I wished I had spent more time with him but I didn't. He was here for like 6mths and I met him like 2-3 times? pathetic eh? But that's more frequent than I meet my own folks, so... Lindsay came and I met up with her for that one day... just one day! I will do better for your 2008 trip, I promise! I met so many new people... like SO MANY! I made myself sit down and listen to them to really get to know them better before passing off judgement. Yeah, a whole different Fida coming your way. I'm still the same person really, just takes a much longer time to unleash the negativity now. Haha! Am I happier now? I guess you can say so. But deep inside there's a tinge of sadness in me for the fact that I wish I could meet up with my present, long-time-no-see friends again to catch up on old times. Just having you in my phonebook is not enough... unless I've chosen to avoid you already? Muahaha! Let's talk about vacations. I went to Phuket, Bangkok, Bintan and JB. That's like using my passport for 4 times! Like woah~ This has to be some kind of a record! Usually I travel like twice max. Pricely possession of this year includes:
I almost lost my PC but a good friend told me he'll fix it at no cost... just a Burger King meal! That was a close call but I'm glad he manage to salvage everything back. I have no clue what I'll do if I loose all the data inside! I should now consider investing in a Hard Disk Drive to backup all my data! I did blogathon again this year and once again, I fell asleep for a bit. It was a lot more organised this year as I've had previous experiences. Haha. I didn't raise that much money but I'm glad I did my part to help the less fortunate. Should I look forward to Blogathon 2008? Meh... we'll see about that. It kinda gets a tad too old... we need fresh ideas people! As I mentioned I won't be setting resolutions but on the other hand, I started new projects/hobbies.
So what's gonna happen in 2008? Settle down? Hmmm.... Labels: blog, food, friends, happiness, money, rant, relationship, shopping, singapore, travel, whatever, work

I <3 YOU
I owe my readers millions of better entries. I'm putting aside time to sit back and blog properly like I used to do at least 2 years back. Work has been wonderful. I love my colleagues and I love my job! I just love the energy we have especially from mid month onwards, crunching time, making the impossible possible and everything I did, right or wrong, is a whole new learning experience for me. Over time I've gained trust and confidence from the people that matters around me and I've been assigned to do things beyond my imagination and just makes me wanna go WOW why didn't I quit my previous job sooner! I'm not hard up on getting a promotion or anything. Additional monetary increment *cross-fingers* will be good enough for me to take on additional responsibilities and moving forward to see myself becoming a whole different person, like really different... erm... I meant career wise. I realised I had grown a lot these past 2 years and I'm thankful I did not turn out to be a what I had expected my life would have been fucked up, or screwed, or *can't find cleaner word, sowee* cos' I've gone through many hardships at work before I could opened up and realise that I needed help! I had a lot to be thankful for. My colleagues who constantly believes in me, pushing me to my upmost limit, bringing out talents/skills/knowledge I never knew I had in me all the time. Thank you for your faith, I really appreciate it like I've never appreciated anything before, work wise. Many who have had known me like years ago will know the shit I had gone through just to make a living. I'd say I would never want to change a thing about my past cos' I believe it had mould me to be what I am now; stronger, mature-r, smarter in so many ways. I'm not writing this entry to flaunt about my job, but I really wanna put all my gratitudes in words, hoping someone will read it and realise how much I appreciate them. I'm not that skillful in expressing such emotions in person therefore I hope my words will do it. I would never be able to say this much in person, and that's my biggest weakness. Oh yes, another important person I HAVE to mention will be none other than my darling. He had been there from the very beginning and I'm happy that I had made you really proud. Happy like FUCK! Oh before I end this longest-entry-I've-had-since-months, I'd like to dedicate this video to a certain group at work who had made me realised my current obsession. I'm giving you a change to laugh at him, cos' I had never allowed that... hahaha! Ooooh its getting hot in HERE!

Far far away...
Sometimes I wonder how tough it'll be to earn a living far far away from your homeground. I have friends who's working in a foreign land and I've got friends who comes to Singapore to work. If I were to be given a choice to do such, where will I go? I was browsing the WWW and found a site for London jobs and since my paper qualification's certified by Cambridge I thought I may have a shot. I'm not even sure if the Americans or the other European countried would recognise my certificates. Maybe life experiences might help? I filtered all the jobs in London to see where I stand. To my delight, not 1 job advertised mentioned anything about paper qualification in their prerequisite! Its all about past experiences and good references. Thinking back, why isn't Singapore employment nature is such? I've got a fresh grad holding a diploma sending out letters, packing goods and answering phonecalls. I'm not holding any diploma and I'm holding a much better position than her; my job is that of a degree holder. But one thing for sure, her diploma enables her to rack a higher salary. Technically its fair but at times, it pains me and I wished that we could swop roles. Ah well... more updates about me in a bit! Labels: work

Bye Bye Gland (Glenn)
 I meant to post this a week ago cos thats when my intern, Glenn, bade us farewell to return back to his books and scouting for potential wife to be. I wish him all the best with his double major and most importantly I wish he will not master his guitar skills before I do! Well, that last one's gonna be pretty hard as he signed up for lessons while I on the other hand, hadn't touch the guitar for a couple of months! Labels: work

I am a vegetarian
You believed that? I totally crossed my fingers when I said that. I tried, I really did. It doesn't help that I can't stand vegetables. On friday the whole department lunched out, vegetarian style @ some chinese buffet restaurant and they only serve vegetarian dishes. I wasn't looking forward to it at all and already scanning through other shops in case I'm still hungry from not eating anything. A colleague told me on the way to that place that the more you eat (vegetarian food) the hungrier you will get. At that point it makes total sense as I don't consider vegetables as food, really! Since I don't eat vegetables, I whacked on stuff like mushrooms (of many kinds), baby corns, corns, pineapples and dessert was alright - I had mango pudding and some custard roll thingy. I realised I had overfed myself with non-food the moment I got up from the seat. I was tucking my tummy in for a good 20mins as not to be mistaken as a 4mth preggo girl. Throughout the journey back I was forcing myself to burp - so did everyone else in the car (windows rolled down, by the way). Of course, at that state, no one felt like working. Battling with the eyelids and a massive tummy just took a lot outta you. Unfortunately for me, I was *shrugs* Maybe I'm not meant to be a vegetarian. I love meat too much... and why do vegetarian have mock meat? Isn't that cheating of sort? People, I am right on top of the food chain and I'm VERY happy there. - Will HAIKU for sponsors -

L33T-ing & Singing
L33T Launch Party: Nothing awesome, just networking session among mediawhores. I had to mend the front desk for the event at the 11th hour when I've already made plans to tryout this new Karaoke place in Chinatown. The event went pretty ok. I have no idea what's going on inside, but the place is lovely (read: butt absorbing seats). My area is right next to the table where they place all the drinks free for the guest. I think I had waaaaaay too much champagne that night. I love champagne. I can drink it like water! Ten Dollar Club: Only $10 per head, free flow of drinks and they even throw in a bowl of sharkfin soup (not the original one) per person. The room's alright and the song selection's pretty good. The best part I guess for the price, I can adjust the room temperature when it gets cold/warm, no issues. Will I go back there again? OF COURSE! They don't have a website and for those interested to try it out, its on Smith Street, Chinatown. Its on the 2nd/3rd floor and the entrance is behind a makeshift foodstall called selling Peanut Soup (euwww!). Check out the pictures! Labels: music, party, singapore, work

Welcome back, me
I'm back at work now. Wanted to update last night but blogger's giving me the cold treatment so I'll make it quick here. My plane landed in the Budget Terminal about 1.30am yesterday and I've never felt so tired in my life. My backpack is just yelping for mercy. Dropped by Pasir Ris cos' I miss Fahmy too much and finally got to lay down on my own bed about 3.30am. I will write a proper entry maybe later in the night with photos if I can upload them all smoothly. I've got like 200 photos (as I last counted) and 2 videos to be nicely photoshop-ed and edited for viewing pleasure... yours and mine. Fahmy commented I've improved on my photography skills in a sense there isn't much of me cam-whoring and you can actually see Phuket instead. Haha! Come back again in 12hrs!

Show me the light
Yesterday I barely recovered for a short holiday (Labour Day) and reached the office close to 9.45am. I noticed the lounge area was unusually crowded but I continued walking towards the office also wondering why a couple of my colleagues are just hanging outside the office. It can't be locked cos' a whole bunch of us holds the key. I moved closer and the room was pitch dark. Its a BLACKOUT. My director ensured us that it'll take only half hour so I waited no longer and went for my cigarette break. Even after 3 sticks the electrical supply hadn't been fixed so we hung out at the lounge area and I sorta got dragged into an impromptu discussion about work and I didn't hide the yawns at all. I was so tired of not doing anything for a whole 4 hours. We did went for lunch and I was telling myself if by 4pm and there's still a blackout, I'm going home. Honestly I'd rather work from home but my manager kept telling me to stay put and be unproductive together as a team. Odd but my director announced after lunch that we could all leave and come back tomorrow praying everything will be fixed. I prayed otherwise. He even offered me a lift home *LOL*. So here I am, blogging away in the office cos' I forgot to blog last night. WHY!!! Labels: work

Bitch Mode [ON]
I'm here for more than a year and you're here for about that period of time. How dare you come forth and still call me "Excuse me"!! I'm not a waitress... I don't owe you any service. I have a name, damn it! Its not the first time we're communicating. We had conversations at the bus stop and in the bus. This company ain't that big. You see me every working day looking for newspaper or when you got locked out of your office during lunch hour. What a bitch!
Party?
On Friday night, about 30% of my colleagues stayed back to throw a farewell party to 3 of my other colleagues who'll be leaving, Carebear, Charger and erm... a fruit. Haha... I use nicknames cos I felt like it. What? Other bloggers are doing it so why can't I! Anyway the party's B-O-R-I-N-G but at least I gotta play Nintendo Wii Tennis! Addictive like no words can describe. I don't suck... and I'm no expert but practise is the key word. That's the only bit of the part that I enjoyed the most. Oh ya... the pizzas... and my homemade cuppies! I didn't even bother to whip my digicam out! 17 more days till my trip... estatic? OUI!  Labels: games, party, travel, work

-Happy Birthday To Me-
I turn 1 at work yesterday!   A couple of girls brought me out to lunch at West Coast Park McDonalds and my manager picked me up from the office. In the car she dropped me the biggest bomb. So big I was left speechless. No, she did not fart. Its good news, very good news. I couldn't translate my happiness and excitement to my facial expression. What's the news? Not now... I am not gonna jinx it until its really happening. Toodles~

Addicted to interruptions
**WARNING** Lengthy update in this entry. So Lindsay was in town and we met up only once during her 2 weeks trip here. Unfortunately our schedule clash pretty badly. Suppose to see her off yesterday but I was caught up in something else and wouldn't be able to make it to the airport in time, unless I take the cab of course, which will cost me a hell lot more for the extra airport surcharge blah blah. So sorry Linz! I really want to be there. Maybe not really for you but for Popeye! I miss those damn chickies! So the one and only time we met I had to drag her all the way out of town and in Toa Payoh Hub... feelin' heartlanders. I was already there during lunch hour with Clifford who wouldn't budge, refusing to go back to work. Haqiim and Lindsay join us an hour later and we continued to hung out there while waiting for Lianne to arrive. Clifford eventually made his exit, of course. Oh yes, why are we there, of all places? Well, my colleague gave me 4 tickets to catch live show of Dancefloor (reality show alike 'So You Think You Can Dance'). It blows! But we had fun comparing the place from what it had looked like many years ago when I was very active in making my trips to Mediacorp. Anyway its a short cab journey and the fare was on Haqiim. So what the heck! After wasting 2 hours (or 3 maybe?) watching something I swear I will never watch again ever, we rode the bus all the way to Harbourfront, since my friends doesn't know how to go home from that place. Lindsay, Haqiim and myself took the North East Line to Clarke Quay to 'escort' Lindsay to be reunited with her friend. Apparently Singapore already seemed foreign to her. I also met up with Charly a few days later for dinner. It was nice. He's still the same old Charly. I wish him the best for his intership here and pray he will not come back. Too many annoying people in my life already, I can do without this one. Hehe... va te faire foutre!! The company organised a chinese new year dinner held 5 mins (on foot) away from my place. The last time I was in that building was when I was still in Kindergarten... one of those mini-concerts the kids put up to make our parents clap, smile and be proud of what their kids had learnt from the school. It had changed sooooo much (like DOH!) from being just a multi purpose hall to a chinese restaurant... I think its a restaurant. Food was served pretty late and I filled my very empty stomach with beer... cold beer. It kinda spoil the whole night cos' after that I felt really horrible. Went to the ladies and vomitted... beer. Just beer. Awesome part of the night was the lucky draw. Everyone walked away with something. No one left the place empty handed, unless they had forgotten to take the prize back with them. I won a bluetooth headset which I don't really need and exchanged it with a Microsoft webcam. At that point I had aspired to be like the red paper clip fella who exchange something worthless until he got himself a house. I exchanged a $30-40 bluetooth headset with a $160 webcam. I went round the room to change with other expensive items and got turned down... hard. I even use the excuse of my new aspiration but to no avail. Damn it! I was aiming that 20 inch LCD monitor! Walked home slowly while hugging my new webcam and the moment I reach home, I was... erm... crazy enough to start installing it while being irritated by the spinning room. It worked fine. Much better than my previous one. See my new webcam shot on your right. So now my old webcam is up for loan... till I broke my new one. Any takers? Haha! And today... Santa dropped by and look what he had left me!  Droolz!~~~ That's it! My weekend is fully booked! No update till my review is out! Labels: food, friends, singapore, work

By the river...
I attracted so much attention from the gawking tourist that last night. One even wanted to take my picture when I politely decline. I bet she'll go back to wherever she came from and showed to her good looking 27year old son she met a Singaporean stoner *LOL*. Yup, I took videos this time round. If its horrible, please don't hate me. My fingers were already swollen by the time we captured the vids. Yup, uploading to ifilm since youtube's a bit anal at the moment. As I browsing some magazines at work (its part of my job to do so) and I saw a familiar face. i even got another colleague of mine to take a look at it, since he will find the person familiar too, and he couldn't hold back his laughter. His first words were "So fat like that can join such competitions?" Yup, its him alright!    Click the pictures for bigger view Labels: happiness, music, work

Chart your own progress plan (Part Trois)
As promised... 1. What kind of person do I want to be? Describe the kinds of skills, abilities, qualities, disposition, character and understanding you want to have Be more organised, increase fluency in marketing, creativity skills and money-savvy. 2. What do I want to do with my life? Think of big and small achievements, goals and important issues that concern you Increase bank balance to at least a solid 5 digit number (minus decimal points) and be happy and healthy in life. To achieve the results of the two questions above, you need a strategy that involves answering the seven questions below: 1. Where am I? Describe fully your current state in both your personal and work life. Work: Major learning stage with my manager planning to give me more responsibilites (read: KPIs) Personal: Still insecure about life in general. Is settling down the answer? 2. How did I get there? Look back in your life and trace all the elements, events and people who influenced your path in life. I pull myself together to quit my previous job after all the doodie I've been through. Many lessons had been learned from my previous job. I joined them in my teens and I grew up learning not so much about work but more on people. I shall not touch so much on that since I think 45% of my blog content is related to that. 3. Where do I want to go? Using the material from the two fundamental questions, describe your goals. Climb up the career ladder steadily base on pure experience and hands on knowledge maybe? Also to trust other people, let them in a bit more. 4. How will I get there? Refer to the information you have gethered about your journey in life so far, and consider new ways if the usual ones are hindering your progress. Definitely in need of guidance and hopefully I'll be discipline enough to read up on how to build these skills which enables me to flyyyy!! When it comes to life, I'd say I need more social life. But do I need more friends? Or just peg on my present friends and work on it? 5. What will I do when I arrive? Sketch out your intentions and actions. When promotion is due, that is a sign that I had been entrusted with new responsibilities and its up to me to take it up another level to prove to them I am worthy of that reward. And the life bit I guess I'll throw a party or something. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. 6. Where shall I go next? Life is a continuous process of change, therefore it is important to plan beyond your immediate horizons. I'd prolly still be here. Hopefully one day I'll be heading a business unit (manager/director?) *LOL*. There's no harm in dreaming. And about the life bit, I'll promise to take care of my friends, people whom I only assume will be around with me for life. 7. How do I begin? List what you have to do and attach a time frame for each objective. Work: I'll reflect on my job done and achievements every half a year (same time frame as the organisation's appraisal) and work from there... and it has to start... erm... NOW! Life: I'll start calling them, asking them out, go for occassional dinner/drinks and whatever that will rock their bottoms. There you go, hopefully you guys attempt it too *PHEW*! Oh by the way there's one more part left to this entry... watch out for this space! Labels: friends, whatever, work

Chart your own progress plan (Part Deux)
Next lets try envisioning your future. The 2 fundamental questions in these steps are... 1. What kind of person do I want to be? Describe the kinds of skills, abilities, qualities, disposition, character and understanding you want to have 2. What do I want to do with my life? Think of big and small achievements, goals and important issues that concern you To achieve the results of the two questions above, you need a strategy that involves answering the seven questions below: 1. Where am I? Describe fully your current state in both your personal and work life. 2. How did I get there?

Sketch out your intentions and actions. 6. Where shall I go next? Life is a continuous process of change, therefore it is important to plan beyond your immediate horizons. 7. How do I begin? List what you have to do and attach a time frame for each objective. I will reflect on these questions in my next entry. My dear friends, let's set aside some time to reflect on what the f**k we're doing in our life right now and how can we make it better. Post your answers on your blog (part une and deux) and I will reveal part trois soon. Good luck!

I have to share these with you. My manager make copies of this article from The Straits Times which really got me thinking. I'm not gonna type out the whole thing, just exerpts from the article. There are many ways to conduct a self-development proposal. Today I'll start with Exploring The Present. It mainly explores the needs analysis, where you provide information about yourself. The 5 areas that you look at explore what is important in your life. 1. Physical attributes - such as age, height and weight I think I'm at the age where I'm no longer 'testing water' or playing around. I am where one will call, digging slowly to reach the treasure. At the moment, I'm digging, slowly, but I'm not sure if the treasure is really in the spot I'm digging. I have no issue with my height and weight by the way. I will lose weight if it affects my health, not my career. 2. Emotional attributes - are you shy, cynical, happy or frustrated? It makes me feel human that I have every emotional attributes one might possess. I feel the environment I am in. 3. Mental attributes - your intellectual abilities, such as clever, dull, thoughtful, analytical etc. Aha, I swear I have never considered myself as an intellectual. Street smart,yes. Geeky smart, hell no! I never really graduated from anything after secondary school hence I shall admit my IQ have to be really low. I believe in learning thru life courses. 4. Roles - functions you fulfil in relations to others, eg. are you single, married, a parent, sibling, an employee or your own boss? I'm still single, hopefully I will be able to settle down one day. I won't say I'm the kind of person who will put career before my love life. I would want the 2 to go hand in hand. But one thing definitely I won't get married if I'm not financially prepared. 5. Relationship with others - the characteristic stance you take towards others, such as closed, open, withdrawn or giving I may appear cold to some but I'm really very approachable and enjoys a good laugh. I treat people I work with like colleagues until they bend the line and cross over to me pallies! Listing 10 statements about yourself does not encompass your whole personality but it usually a good indicator of how you see yourself and your present role in life. ... to be continued...
Weekly Update
Yeah, I'm late like that but whatever. Its my blog and I'll update whenever I want to. Last friday my company had a sponsored tea time in our lounge area and since I got crap to do before my weekend starts I had a quick trip over to the buffett table only to steal these...  Yeah drool away my friends! Right after that my MD called me out for a little chat. He asked how was my teabreak and I can't help but to shower him with praises for agreeing to organise such stuff. Little did I realise I don't think thats why he asked me out. Later we sat near the pantry and he whipped out a report and showed me all the clients that we've dealt with for the past 3 months. I just went along not knowing what he wants. After he's done explaining the report to me I was like "Darn, bribing me with awesome sinful stuff to make me do stuff for him!". Then he whip out a file and showed me a cheque of value $(bleep). My eyes lit up (like DOH!) and I waited for him to explain what the cheque is for. "This is your commission plus half of it is advance for clients who have not cleared their invoice yet. We're doing this quarterly so if you want your money, ensure client make their payment on time." He prompted if I've got anything to ask him and I went like "erm... why aren't this made monthly?" which he shot me with "You want me to die is it!?" Hehe... he's a funny man :)  Ah yes, How could we start the year without celebrating this asshole's birthday. We went for a 'big' feast @ Beach Road. No photos cos' all of us got our hand dirtied with red stuff all over. After which we head downtown for a gaming session @ Minds Cafe. We all had a blast! Especially that asshole since we gave him, I think, a wonderful gift after last year's. Hope he will wear it like everyday... till next year!
