How come no one ever told me how great a show Fight Club was??
Not to mention how hot Brad Pitt is in there.

Another mystery solved from the t-shirt



Now to find out the rest.

PS: I like "299 DIE" the most! =p

When you call a faceless hotline, and talk to a disembodied voice,

The least the voice could do is to be polite and sound nice. smooth velvety nice. =p

Youth is wasted on me.
I used to look so good. How did I let myself go so far?



Can you even find me in there???


And here's me again


Now I remember why I used to camwhore so much =x


I used to have a crush on him! heeheeee...But this pose wasn't my idea! It was some senior's idea! =x

It's been some time since I've accessed my own blog, not since I got my Macbook anyway.
(for some reason, my brain short-circuited and typed Mabcook thrice. >.<"')

It's been a time of trying to get used to the folders in the Macbook, trying to understand how to care for it and trying to find where all my downloaded files go to.

[And even as I type this, I can feel the imaginary ghost of my grammatically pedantic boss checking my punctuation. =p]

It's been a week of exploring the Macbook and rushing to get work done at The Workplace. Despite all the work I am slated to do over at The Workplace, I haven't regretted joining them. I know the general public's various misgivings, but it's my job to enjoy, not the public's.

Besides, working on Windows OS at work keeps me from being too obsessed with the Macbook and subsequently becoming a Mac fanatic. And honestly, it's really not as if the Mac OS is so great as to be able to convert me.

But buying the Macbook has taught me one lesson: Challenge yourself.
If I hadn't bought the Macbook, I would never have forced myself to learn and get used to something new. Now that I work on the Mac OS at home and Windows OS at work, I will have to train myself to be switch. And at this age, it's really not hard. So if I'm not going to learn to be flexible now, when will I?

The other good news is that I've started going to the gym. Yes, I know I desperately need some work done on myself. Another reason why I'm joining the gym is because I need my discipline back. Back in JC, all that running made me a stronger person who knew she could push herself the extra mile. Now, all that non-running has made me tofu, both physically and mentally. So now it's time to push =)

Someone introduced the Fish! Philosophy to me. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FISH!_Philosophy. It emphasises 4 factors for creating an enjoyable workplace for your employees:

1. Play.
2. Make Their Day.
3. Be There [for Coworkers].
4. Choose Your Attitude.

Well, we can't quite choose how people make our day, and we can't quite control how and when colleagues can be there for us. But you can control the Play factor because that's entirely up to you. You can also choose your attitude, which is a right many people don't exercise. Maybe they don't understand that this helps their happiness in the long run. I know this doesn't work for long in a truly poisonous environment (I've been there, I've cheered myself up, but I could not stop my environment from poisoning me), but I know that waking up and not saying "Damn, I want to go to sleep instead of going to work" starts my day off so much better. I do think more people should try it. I just don't have faith that they will. =(

Like what I've said to people - be happy. Just Be Happy.

Just watching the maelstrom scenes gave me the creeps.

One of my colleagues once said, "You can't stop a ship just like that, you know. There're no brakes."

I was constantly reminded of that when I watched Pirates...
I can't say why I'm passionate about the industry, for sure. There's something about it that attracts me. Most people think I'm mad to have joined this industry, but I like it. Someday maybe, I'll work on the ground in the industry and realise the grime =)

From Jet:
"...we are all cognizant that problems come from within and could be solved only by ourselves so we seldom talk about frustrations, only decisions of what we will do about them."

1. It's been way too long since I've heard anyone use the word cognizant.
2. I used to embody that thinking. What's happened?
   

[In the car, at a junction]

Me: Want another mint?
Him: ...
Him: ...uh...
Him: ...hmmm...
Me: ???
Me: (thinks: how hard can it be to decide if you want a freaking mint???)
Me: (louder) want another mint?
Him: Oh! (relieved) I thought you asked if I wanted another you.
Him: That's a tough question to answer.

I drank a bottle of wine in my room (that's where I always surreptitiously get drunk) 2 weeks ago. I just realised the glass is still there. hmm...

Me: So. Want another Me?
Him: ... (>.<"')

I received damn good service from Sean of Adidas, Vivocity today.
He was thorough, knowledgeable, and very helpful.

I want to send a letter to Adidas Singapore to compliment this young man on his great service attitude.

I have tried emailing the letter to the email address as provided by the staff on the day I made my purchase. It has since bounced back.

I have searched the Adidas Singapore and International webpages for an email to address to send this email to. There is no email address available.

What, oh what do I have to do to get a compliment across to Adidas?

I want to get that letter to Adidas. I really want to. Sean was that good.
But I can't even get them!
Do they have to make it so hard????

When my doctor prescribed rest, I'm sure he didn't have wine and chocolate cake in mind.

Well, when I asked him what I should avoid, he said there were no foods to avoid..

No pictures this time =p I'm starting to be a little ashamed.

I swear I'm not an alcoholic. I'm just bored and the internet bores me.

In the euphoria of reminiscing younger, lighter and more athletic days of ball games, my knee popped out of its socket for that barest minute and then popped back again.
Now I'm left hobbling around my house.

Age is catching up for sure.
It's a ligament strain.and requires that I do not strain it any further.

But all my work shoes are heels!!!! =x
