Weekend was all packed, lunches, dinners, catch ups....we even met Sarah Wan!

*

A friend told me that she wished to switch jobs, from a full time tutor to a part time insurance agent. She has been working happily for a good 5 years, building up rapport from students and parents and earning more than enough to support herself.

And now she wants to step out of her comfort zone, partly because the boyfriend wants her to and partly because she feels that she needs some interaction with the rest of her world.


I would be jumping with joy if its really for the latter. But seriously, I don't think so. I've got friends like Sandy Koh who IS holding a decent office job, travels to town everyday and scampers back home to shun herself from the outside world. (I can hear her argue back "wherrree got I got friends okaayy")

Its not about the job. Unless you're working in a factory in Tuas from 11am to 2am with no off days, no internet connection and no phone; otherwise you're not spared from any excuse of not having social interaction. That's what the social media platform is for.

Darling, its the character that gets you away from people. Not the job. I can't imagine how you are going to handle your clients in future if you're really going to take up an agent job.


And anyway the core problem actually lies in her boyfriend. In my opinion. (So if Mr Boyfriend is reading this post, your girlfriend wasn't badmouthing you, its MY OPINIONS) I'm not going to go through the crap about "if they love you they should accept the way you are", because some traits of some girlfriends really ought to be corrected.

Its not easy to find a job that is enjoyable to slave for and yet worth enough pennies to survive, and for her case, this seems like the ideal career for her. Don't try to brainwash and strip this away from her.

The Man bugged me to change my layout. Any one has any funky design to supply?

My mum and my sis returned to Hong Kong today, kept complaining about the lousy budget terminal, I can't believe it they actually couldn't locate a phone or washroom there. Wow.

I wasn't aware that sacrifices and hardships are better said out loud than kept inside.


I was taught to suffer in silence. Use your IQ and solve it. Use your EQ and bear with it. If you are hurt, too bad, you should have measured the consequences of every action so it won't result to allowing others to hurt you. And that's what I passed on to my sister too. Now I feel sorry for her cos she's been going through the same type of mental torment like me.


There are times when you actually want share, and you did share, but the truth seems oh-so-fake. Its too late to erase what is imprinted in other's memory.




Whatever.
Whatever.
Whatever.

Saying it three times and more, trying to get it imprinted in my mind.

Whatever.

2 minutes after I entered a wrong CVV number while doing an online purchase, Citibank called to check if I did that transaction.


Wow.
Very efficient.


I told him that the CVV number has faded and I need a new card. He said he's not in charge and would need to get the customer service to get back to me.


No word till now.
Hmmm.

I received the lousiest, lousiest, lousiest ( I know with -est its already to its extreme but I just want to emphasize how LOUSY it is) head hunt proposal ever. EVER, really. Among the rest that I've got, this is real bad.


I'm not going anywhere cos I simply don't see any reason in leaving right now.

There might have been hard times, sore moments, cat fights and undertable kickings, but that's not now. The rest are going to say, "it will be back someday", "some things just never change", "you gotta move on, I think you've learnt enough". I know, darlings, I know.


But whatever it is, or will be, its not happening right now isn't it. (Go on roll your eyes lalalala)


Until the bad times come again, I'm not going anywhere.
Period.

After chasing and hounding for nods for class gatherings, one actually happened on a very last minute basis. Off to green frog's place!

Used to gobble down plates when we were younger, dropping by after lectures in afternoon sushi buffet sessions. My highest record with Sandy Koh was 43 plates. I don't know how we did it. Act of pigs, seriously. *frowns*

Dengli lost weight. Thank goodness I wasn't sitting next to her in this pic.

No, I'm not trying to hint that Huimin looks fat. I never I never.

So darn skinny.

The Man and I had this delicacy at Sakae during CNY and have been singing praises about it. It don't taste as nice as I remembered. The Man said probably because the last time we had it, it was right after returning from Batam (where we ate really dry chicken and lotsa other terrible munchies).


Intensely waiting for her "omg soooo nice" expression.

Got none. She merely ate.
=(


Moved over to PS for desserts. ICE MONSTER FINALLY GONE. It nothing as compared to their HQ outlet at Taipei. Tsk tsk tsk. Ji De Chi took over their space. Their mother outlet's at Liang Seah street, along the stretch of steamboat and eateries.

New menu!

Its too easy to fall apart, so lets make some effort to keep close, peeps.

Rode with The Man down to Tampines 1 to catch Aimee at her show. A very long ride.

Its awkward to look your model in the eye when they are performing, so I hid at level 2.

Aimee's beautiful but hmmm.

And well, I really don't appreciate the attitude of the other male model. He was smirking as the dancers performed. I guess thats the thing that pulled the overall performance down --- someone standing in the middle of a performance giving that "what the hell are they doing man see i'm really no part of this nonsense" look.


Your first day of work huh dude? Very. Unprofessional.
