[ umm ]

it’s been so long : between then and now, so much have changed.
while in the past, i would wait impatiently for the buzzing sound of the modem,
now i dread switching on the com …
for it would only mean that i have yet more unfinished work and excels to pore through.

[ hmmm ... ]

there was a huge downpour today and as i sighted the raindrops splattering upon the window panes,
i couldn’t help but wonder how my zed zed is doing.
it’s been 2 months since he has left us … but my baby has never been absent from my mind.

a heart-wrenching sight whenever i see bunbun lying in the cage with the head bent down,
it’s like she’s waiting for him to return home and groom her in the affectionate ways that he used to.

and … it’s most upsetting when i know that i’ll never find another bunny which is as tame and lamb-ish like him.

[ zed² ... please wait for jie jie]

denn on sale.

i am in a company that endorses the strengths finder.
however i feel that viewing every single attribute as a form of talent is innately flawed.

there is a GREAT difference between self-assurance and an airhead.
a certain someone definitely belongs to the latter. there are times when i wonder for how long can she live her entire life in an egoistic bubble that only revolves around herself, herself and herself.
self-proclaimed QC Linguist huh ? o.o i think she’s gotta work on the barely audible cluck-cluck accent.

i kinda feel bad for her two poor sisters who are delegated to mere luggage packing slaves. oh well … whatever rocks her world. at least i won’t have to whisper like a mouse for the next 4 weeks.

it seems that this week will be a long one …
not much stuff on my plate but today started with a disturbing piece of news that i wasn’t anticipating.

apparently one of our project executive has been asked to leave the company. and she didn’t tell anyone until the very morning. from her 1st hand account, it seems that she has apparently been taken off all projects since dec and that was kinda like the beginning of the end. i have always known that an office environment is fraught with   politics [not hard to figure out with a mum who is into power play] and hence i’ve been steering clear of anything that has the potential to become messy. this is such a stark difference from school where messages are communicated with no underlying meanings. over here, there are people who put on a smiley face and yet shoot very deadly arrows via emails

it’s really sad that she has to leave us and i never knew that things could be so bad.
i had better keep my own fingers crossed and be careful about stepping on anyone’s tails.

wouldn’t want moi head to roll across the chopping board …  

[ yet another ]

hello blog.
am in serious need of money management.
been busting my money on all sorts of random stuff like
, food, clothes, food, food, food, whimsical items, yoghurt.
 

[ um ]

feels surreal to be even typing on my mac lappie since i spent most of the past 6 months on a frigging desktop. the months have been really taxing and i’m still struggling to achieve a work-life balance + am extremely guilty about neglecting the silly furkids.
its really true. what denn said about me not considering my options well enough before plunging into something that I barely know. but then again, wasnt this what i was looking for ?

its not to say that i do not enjoy my working environment [apart from my crazy narcissist "mentor", we have the funkiest people around], but do i really wanna spend the next 4 years of my life validating rows of figures in excel sheets and edit mere grammar?

what happened to writing, color and life ?

[ poof ]

denn and i are terribly stumped. we attempted to whip up dinner at waterplace and both of us were so excited about the prospects of burning the kitchen down that we failed to notice that the pasta and bolognese sauce were missing. they were not in the cold storage carrier / not in his car / not in the boot , though we’re positively sure that he did pick everything up from the cashier. and so … the evening ended with weird tasting noodles. tsk²

attempted to take some pictures of the area early in the morning but ming hui dropped by while i was getting ready to snap a shot of the “only walk through if you are david copperfield” sideglass. will probably sneak a couple more pictures when the nintendo wii is installed in our funky pantry. i’ve got a very spacious work area that’s been 1/4 utilized by far. the shelf  is barely filled and am constantly thinking of ways to further maximize storage space. it’ll only be a matter of time before i use it all up ~~~ heh. on second thoughts, i do hope that there’ll be more work for the upcoming week … -prefers being constructive- ^^

 

missed out on world poll briefing on friday and attended the jobsdb gala dinner with veenesha. we took a bus from fullerton-alighted too early-took the same bus again before reaching ritz carlton in time for the cocktail reception. spent some time exploring the entire place, pranced around and camwhored before getting ready for the seven-course dinner. was surprised that jobsdb announced that they have taken over streetdirectory.com and the site is fully functional again. streetdirectory rawks ^^
food was pretty decent and veenesha was remarking how much the host, in a willy wonka suit, resembled bobby  [i have very funky boss], before i realized that it was glenn ong o.o jobsdb must have paid him quite a hefty sum to dress up in this manner.-chuckles- ~~~ the entire event was pretty entertaining but we were disappointed with the magic performance by ning and jc. while jc was awesome, veenesha and i both felt that ning was mediocre. she was obviously playing too much on her sex appeal coz i was so much more focused on her booty & boobies rather than the whatever straitjacket escape. o.o

that pretty much concludes the week and am sure looking forward to ramen-ing with my favorite shore & seed ^^

[ hm.. ]

am not sure whether its a good or bad thing to be joining gallup during this super non-busy period of the year coz there is like absolutely nothing to do, unless my mentor has too much on her hands & i need to proof-read report ads [aka twice/thrice a week].

basically, i brave the ruthless morning crowd every morning, only to come into the office and start pigging my day away. at 10am, i start making arrangements for lunch, send out various emails and by the time the noon meal is done, i’ll be counting the hours till i can get my butt home.

the awesome colleagues are an excellent sense of motivation,
but even idling away can be pretty tiring …
