THEY make me wonder

hmmmmmmm what should i be thinking when…
i was apparently excluded TWICE
not that they even bothered to ask if i wanna join, or if im free to begin with
makes me think… they prob never thought of asking me
or…? i dont know if i can cook up any other excuses in their favor
and when they actually told someone that they did ask me… but i said i was busy? like W O W. SO SMART. I’m sure I received that invitation somewhere. Doesn’t matter anyway, invited or not, no biggie.
but… why lie that you even asked. *SCRATCHES HEAD*

I’m feeling slightly intolerant to nonsense lately. I’ve problems on my own… I’m starting to detest my job cos friends/family are always assuming im at work w/o even bothering to ask. S I G H

slow down for PEACE

It’s off day again! it’s a 3 day work week for me this week. Can’t wait for CNY especially with clothes all bought, and goodies all piling up! This year, after much “research” we’ve decided on 4 different pineapple tarts. We have homemade pineapple tarts (we support this friend of ours since forever, BUT, somehow the standard has been dropping. But still, the pineapple not too sweet, and the base… buttery), pineapple TARTS (like literally in the TART shape) from a home baker that I managed to get through a friend, tarts that are surprisingly GOOD from PEONY JADE, and pretty looking tarts from Cathay Restaurant.

So, after much deliberation with those who can relate, I’ve decided… PEACE is the way to go.

/edit there we have it, i finally inked and am loving it. altho it’s quite a bitch to not be able to wear watch for the next week or so… oh well… gotta start thinking long term

Bound to You

I’ve a recurring resolution to travel, travel-travel, to at least 3 different places every year. Last year, I barely made it! I really went to 3 places, I went to Phuket, Hong Kong and London-Paris-Netherlands-Switzerland-Germany. And I thought I was gonna be able to travel to MORE places. Well of course TRAVELING doesn’t include short trips like Malaysia, and Indonesia. By that I mean, traveling out by planeeeeeeee for a couple of days

This year… I’ve the same resolution to travel travel travel, at least thrice. On the list so far, we’ve Seoul in March and BKK in June! There are a couple of places I am dying to re-visit. That include trips to EU, USofA and AUSSIE. And places I haven’t been and would love to visit… JAPAN, SPAIN, and SHANGHAI.

KEEP THE TRAVELS COMING IN !!!

Song of the day: Bound to You, Christina Aguilera.

i’ve stopped making plans to go out after work ‘cos i know, there’s an 80% chance that i’ll end up late, or… hafta cancel on the person. moreover, i’ve moved so it’s less accessible now, PLUS, cab fare hiked. so, it’s good to have random plans, and thankful to have people willing to wait up. i’m so jaded, so fucking tired from work, i’ve lost the life in me. i just don’t quite give a damn about anything else. i’m starting to show my detest for work, the increase workload that came with the new boss, i’m definitely not liking it. while i try to console myself that this increased responsibility and workload only goes to mean that i’m learning more, the job scope just doesn’t interest me much. oh well…

cny is the next on the list that is making me slightly excited. i made plans but do not seem to have the time to carry ‘em out. well at least i had a super fruitful day shopping for goodies with mummy. we managed to find pineapple tarts that were to our liking… think yummy buttery pastry and bought a whole lot of sweets with GOLD and RED wrappers from m&s, love letters, cheese cookies, kueh bangkit, kueh lapis and what nots. we going all out this year. i’ve ordered the cupcakes and cake, we got the caterers, and i’ve a list of wine, cheese, ice cream and goodies to get for the second day. progress for cny preparation: 50%.

i’m looking forward to… 3 day work week next week life WILL BE good.

Inject some l i f e back into me.
