Expectations..

funny how sometimes something someone does can affect you so deeply, whether positively or otherwise, and the person who made you feel this way has ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA that they've made (or spoilt) your day..

thats why i guess its bad to carry baggage in life. cos if you're baselessly hanging on to something , whats the point? waste of time if you ask me.. but as always, easier said than done.

like the other day.. this person did something totally unexpected and that (almost) made my day. and the best part was that it put a smile on my first for most of the day and this person didnt even know. and today someone did something that shouldnt be affecting me in the least (well maybe a little), and yet my whole afternoon went downhill because of that.. i think its all about expectations actually - what you expect from others. if you have no expectations and take people as they come, life will be much easier to live. and i know very few people who are like that. i suppose we all have diff expectations towards diff people and when its not met, we tend to.. i dont know.. get disappointed and end up making assumptions i suppose (for want of a better way of putting it)..

you should only have high expectations of yourself cos it will strive to make you a better person, but start thinking "should" and "should not" with regard to other people and you're setting yourself up for disappointment. and as i said - easier said than done, cos i knew this a long time ago and i'm still struggling..

one of my favourite phrases: "the world is like a fruitcake, it wouldnt be complete without a few nuts in it" and this can be pretty helpful when kept in mind. like when someone cuts in front you when you're doing 140. or worse, when someone stays on the right lane while doing 110! yeah, its always down to perspective. like hermione once said (and i think this was one of her more famous phrases): "you could get us killed, or worse, expelled".. yeah, perspective is a funny thing. like nature or nurture. or flight or fight. its all up to the individual and his take on the world around.. oh well..

i've been trying (HARD), to base my happiness on whats inside. becos outside influences are unpredictable and if your mood were to follow, say, the weather for example, you'd have a tough time every morning if it rains. like today.. i mean, it was such a gloomy day. was raining when i got up and that made me wanna sink into bed further (which was not a good option), so i forced myself out. drove in the freaking rain, the bloody highway was jammed in 3 places and there was a chain accident involving 6 cars. came to the office and it was still gloomy. realised that i dont hv to feel this way cos i should be in control of how i feel, the weather shouldnt be having that privilege.. but was in a foul mood so lets forget that..

been blowing my nose and sneezing all day and now my whole face is swollen and my eyes hurt.
and bloody liner trade is due on Wed and i still havent even looked at the question! gonna be another sleepless night.. sigh.. and again..

oh my gawd.. just realised that my blog doesnt even contain ONE smiley face.. i must really be feeling like crap..

quick sayang, think of something nice. the rain (nope), my digicam's cable is missing (nope), my asgmtn is not done (nope), no futsal tmrw (nope), foosball table is spoilt (nope), tons of pending bookings (nope).. i give up. no smileys today then. and here's to hoping tmrw will be a better day starting of with sunshine ;-).. ahhhhhh.. there you go ;-)

To the point of exhaustion..

seriously shitty day solely cos of work.. 7.34pm on a friday and i have no plans of leaving the office in the next 2 hrs. 2 dinner invitations turned down cos of this. what a life.. whole family is in malacca and i was supposed to be joining them on Sat but cant cos got some training (which is COMPULSARY on a SATURDAY in the office!!)..

wonder what keeps me going.. def not the money.. job satisfaction? nope.. future prospects.. the hope of something better.. isnt that what keeps us all going? that there's hope out there, a flicker at the end of the tunnel. in fact, without hope, life wouldnt be worth living. everyone hopes - refugees hope for a better future, ceo's hope to become trillionaires, amateurs hope to become pro-golfers.. EVERYONE hopes. and those who dont are the ones who jump off a bridge or stand in front of a train cos they've given up on life. and not many people do that. even those with life sentences (or death sentences), choose bars instead of electric chairs.. oh well... see, i'm ranting again..

well, i hope where i'm gonna be in abt 1 yr plus from now is gonna be worth the sacrifices i'm making right now..

gawd, i'm having a splitting headache. could be the headphones, they've been in my ears for the past 3 12-hour days. oh, another 2 songs i can listen to 10 times in a row without getting bored - Mariah's always be my baby and butterflies. and robbie williams feel, that one's really good.
really wanna get bc and hit the sack, but hang in there, sayang. nobody said life was a bed of roses.. you always say it yourself - shit happens!

hmmm, this cd is really nice - shades of red by reader's digest. no lyrics, just tunes, music to some of the better songs you'd hear. my kind of music ;-) come to think of it, havent touched the guitar and the piano in absolutely ages (yes tres, will give you back the metronome when i remember.. or when you come get my suitcase and laptop bag.. hahaha)..

Belle of the Ball ;-)

Went to finnigans last night and it was soooo much fun cos i was the only girl in a group of eight guys.. and these are guys who are fun to be with.. had so much fun ;-) 1 vodka, 4 baileys, 1 malibu later, decided to call it a night (it was already the next morning actually)..

had a really freaky dream last night - i was supposed to fly to kuching cos i've got a relative who's really sick or something (no, in actual fact i dont), so we got a private jet and there were like 7 of us inside. then when the plane's just taking off, i look out the window and i see a train carriage lying on its side, off the tracks. then right next to it, there's a sniper and he's aiming at my plane. next thing i know, the plane's crashed, i'm still alive and i'm running for cover towards one of the nearby concrete pillars before the it bursts into flames. no sooner do i have my head covered, then another sniper comes and points his rifle at me, he fires a shot but its barely misses inches from my ear and the end of the gun is near enough for me to hold it and i point it away from me while he empties his bullets (if you know what i mean).. i'm prob not telling it very well :-( but it was freaking creepy.. and bloody felt so real. then i woke up.. yeah, anticlimax i know but i dont think i wanna hv that kind dream often. hell, not at all..

must be those drinks.. but i was fine i swear.. unlike someone who couldnt even make it back and slept in his car for 4 hrs till the engine got heated and the radiator dried up!!

know sometimes how blogs are different but unique to the person? like how some ppl write abt experiences while some write abt feelings and yet others write abt opinions from an outside perspective? pretty interesting reading blogs that write abt feelings, cos it kinda takes you INSIDE a person, its not surface stuff. its more what they feel abt something that happened and what they deduced from it. see, i'm ranting again.

i'm going home. mmmm, just realised my blog doesnt have enough smileys today.. ;-)

The Hunt Is Over

.. for the perfect bikini (for my figure la). got a nice light blue one from Triumph, absolutely loved it the minute i saw it and it fitted me (almost) perfectly ;-)

fell down twice during futsal yesterday but was laughing when i got up. felt good tho, its been ages since i actually fell. thats weird - i actually miss falling. but not falling and hurting yourself la, more like falling and being able to laugh at yourself. perspective is a funny thing.. but i'm starting to rant again..

absolutely exhausted with work today.. seriously feel like shutting down and going back. back hurts, ankle hurts, legs hurt, head is starting to feel the strain.. complain grumble grouch.. lets try to look positive for a change.

for starters, the morning started out pretty well (before the work started piling in), was having a smile on my face while listening to a few of my CDs that i have absolutely havent listened to in ages. listened to stars again. lunch was ok apart from the fact that i got sandwiched in the car (thks to the devil and his cohort).

well, the usual blah ler.. hv to check out some good costume places for a themed party. have to call amex and citibank to check if they rcvd my cheque. and hv to top up my phone. or can ask daddy to transfer some credit since he's the one who hates it so when i drive around without credit in my phone (wonder what they did before the advent of mobiles?) hmmmmmmm....

shoutouts: lora (feeling better? have you done what you're supposed to?). lesli (there's a silver lining in every cloud) ;-)

who moved my cheese?

came in to work this morning and brought 2 slices of bread from home so that i can toast it and hv it with the cheese i keep in the office fridge. so i put the slices in the toaster and pull the knob down and open the fridge to get my cheese and guess what? ITS GONE!! i ransacked the fridge twice just to be sure my eyes werent playing tricks but MY LAST SLICE OF CHEESE WAS GONE. and suddenly i hear the pop of the toaster and realise that i've got to eat PLAIN toasted bread! i mean, i might as well be eating carcinogen, know what i mean?

this is the first time its happened. i've left cheese wedges and yoghurt and milk in the fridge before but this is the first time. no wait, second actually, the prev was a cornetto in the freezer :-( so had no choice but to eat the bread plain ler.. came back to my desk and got my half-eaten box of raisins and tried to pretend i was eating toasted raisin bread.. oh well, shit happens!

but seriously, i think people should realise that their freedom ends when it starts getting into other people's faces. i like being a free person with no rules and stuff but thats just an ideal. all of us are free only to a certain extent and once you stop getting into ppl's faces, the world will be a much better place. cant believe this, just kinda spoilt my first hour at work. to top it off, went to get my milo and the machine wasnt filled. too malas to make my own so settled for water first and got my milo at 10+.

humppphh.. talk abt bread and water for breakfast, might as well be living in somalia.. sheesh..

well, abt 9 hrs hv passed since then so cant really feel that annoyed anymore, especially since i'm listening to one of my favourite tracks of all time - stars by simply red. absolutely love it ;-) but thank goodness it was the last slice of cheese. have to think twice about leaving anything in the fridge now. i mean, if its family or something, its fine (never ever ever EVER take your loved ones for granted), but these are colleagues (mere ACQUAINTANCES).. oh hell.. well, perfection is hard to come by i suppose but i try. just cant expect everybody else to be trying as well.. lucky i had those raisins ;-)

listening to stars for the 3rd time now ;-) one more song i can listen to a million times is george michael's careless whisper ;-)

got futsal today so should be going now to change and get hurt a little.

i'll end with a PROFOUND question: how do u blog when you know tht the ppl you're gonna blog abt are the ppl who are reading your blog?

like i read in the papers once that when you blog, you dont know for sure if your boss is gonna be reading it as well, for all you know, he or she might be an avid blogger as well.. and there are always repercussions to whatever you do so blogging about the wrong person could actually get you fired. ok not to that extent la (but you never know)..

so gonna kick some balls now & hope they all go into the hole.. hehehehehe ;-)

Shoutouts to: Tres (love you), Maykwan and Lilian (miss you all, meet up sometime), Arv (happy birthday), Amanda, Shant and Yitping (hi), and to the rest of the world i've forgotten in my blissfully happy mind (i wish).. cheers and have a great evening.. ;-)

Helium balloons

ever tried swallowing helium? its hilarious.. cut the balloon at its stump but dont let the helium get out. exhale, then inhale the helium and start talking. you'll sound like daffy duck for a few seconds.. really. i tried that today and it was absolutely HILARIOUS. like the voice akon sings lonely in. but the effect's only for a while. at first i was a bit apprehensive, but my motto is to try everything in life at least once (ok, not everything la, but most), and there are generally no side effects anyway (of course, everything in moderation), cos it doesnt affect your lungs, just your voice box. but hilarious ;-) absolutely..

had a mushroom cheese burger at burger kings last night and followed up with 2 glasses of sangria. bought 2 tops as well - a deep purple one and a black racerback.

oh yeah, definitely have to grouch abt the LDP at night. i mean, driving along it at 10 or after would mean that you generally have a free reign of the road right? WRONG! every night, almost everyone slams their emergency brakes cos some stupid lorry is cleaning the road. thats fine, i would LOVE clean roads (why not go all the way and do the gutters too?), but they should have some markers or something to warn motorists that there's some obstruction up ahead. not 3 feet before, its ridiculous. i swear thats an accident waiting to happen.. thank god for brakes!

MAC launching today, so came into the office at like 6.45 to put up balloons (thats where i got the helium from), and posters.. tmrws a whole day outta the office to be spent in sheraton instead, and too malas to drive so mi amigo is picking me up.. god i love being a woman sometimes. not all the time la, cos women can get very petty and bitchy at times.. sometimes is good enough!

mum called me yesterday and i was grouching abt my mobile cos its really going to the dogs - i hv to like switch it on 20 times a day, especially when i text someone cos it tends to get jammed. so my mum told me to change the battery cos my phone's like ANCIENT (abt 3 yrs old - it might as well be obsolete - wait a minute, it ALREADY is). but whats funny is that its still in basic working condition, and its really hardy. like the other day someone called me and i was trying to answer but accidentally dropped it. and the back cover flew off but guess what? IT CONTINUED RINGING!! yeah, the nokia never fails to amaze.. anyways, so i told her i wanted to get a new phone cos i'm pretty much bored with this one, but that i have no money and she goes like "why dont you wait til your birthday?" and i'm like "are you getting me one?" and she says YES... hahahahahaha.. so i'm just gonna hang on to this phone for another one and a half months.. cool.. yaaaayyy.. must be those string of pearls and matching earrings i got her for her birthday.. mwahahahaha ;-)

lost my melamine spoon in the office and didnt get it back even tho i sent out an email to everyone asking them to PUT IT BACK.. sheeshh.. now i have a melamine bowl with no matching spoon. i mean, thats close to a catastrophe!

todays lunch was catered cos of the MAC launching and had lunch with some of my fave people.. thats where the helium idea came up. and a few other ideas as well ;-) also looking forward to a hiking trip to camerons first week of august and some charity event for disabled kids. so much work, so little time..

bought some absolutely yummy orange lip balm from the body shop and cant stop applying it cos it smells SOOOO good - almost edible.. mmmmmmm... in ORANGE, luv, they didnt have apple *wink wink* ;-) cya tmrw.. and yeah, we'll sit tgthr and you can sleep ;-)

Chocolates on my desk..

They are Hersheys kisses, so sometimes its fun when you go around offering them and say "can i give you a kiss?" especially to someone who's as good natured as you are, of the opposite sex and knows you are flirting, altho there's no strings attached. god, i love flirting, its so much FUN. some people think that you cant flirt cos it means you are a) fooling around b) leading someone on c) you're attached.. for me its more like d) none of the above ;-)

know when you are in a relationship, you actually stop flirting with your partner, everything turns more mushy. with flirting, its more a game where there are hidden meanings in (almost) everything you say, coupled with private jokes that no one else gets.. apple? .. mmmmmmmmm.. ;-)

btw, my breakfast slices were screwed up today, i usually like bread with butter, cheese, and peanut butter (in one slice - and NO, its NOT a weird combination), but today my mum put the cheese in between butter and kaya. that was weird..

sent gorgeous for a bath yesterday and he came back looking absolutely.. GORGEOUS.. ;-) what an apt name. just like the owner.. hehehe.. ;-)

Elite was jammed today cos some van turned over and about 2 million boxes were lying on the road, was 20 mins late to work cos of that (and this was despite doing 150 all the way up to that point).. oh well, shit happens, get on with it sayang! oh and this stupid mile long trailer was trying to cut in in front of me and when i didnt give him way, he almost scratched gorgeous. i almost gave him the finger, but then thought better of it taking into consideration that i'm female and i'm driving alone! makes you think abt sexism and upholding your rights, and this is all good, but being where we are and having people around of a different kinda mentality, makes me wonder what would have happened had i given him the finger.. oh well..

kittens in my house are fine and my sis took the liberty of naming them Pound Sterling, US Dollar and Euro. Yeah, materialistic eh? and poor gremlin doesnt come home anymore except to have a quick bite and gulp. cant wait for the kittens to start walking so that can put them out without guilt and let gremlin in again. wouldnt mind taking them in but its just that gremlin is really old and he doesnt get along with his own kind. he thinks i'm his family.. i mean, he doesnt connect with other felines but he can actually have a conversation with me.. like when he comes in, i go like "gremlin, where have you been?" and he goes like "meowwwwww". then i go like "really, what did you do?" and he says "meow meow meeeeoooowww".. i am NOT kidding. then again, i'm allergic to cats, so def gonna get a doggie after this.. ;-)

had a nice sunday in with mi familia. miss those days when we would all be tgthr for teatime almost everyday. now that happens almost only on weekends.. should make an effort ectually, they're worth it :-) told my dad abt the other day when i was in RP, and there was a live band, so when he called, i didnt pick up cos i didnt want him to figure out where i was, so i went out and called him back. and when i told him that yesterday, he laughed. he was actually cool abt it. its more like he's paranoid and overprotective but at the same time.. i dont know.. its undescribable.. i love him so much. i wouldnt exchange him for the sultan of brunei. or the king of england. but you get my drift..

oh yeah, paintball was good fun. got hit twice and there's a 2 inch bruise on my thigh, but not so bad la. almost emptied my gun twice so THAT was fun. but the adrenalin rush you get when you're out there behind fences and trees is just overwhelming. thing that crossed my mind was how REAL soldiers must be feeling. i mean we are talking paint pellets and they are talking live bullets!!..

made $300+ bucks over the weekend, thks to my proofreading and am wondering what to do with it. can get my bikini. or some elle or burberry sunnies. or a swatch. or cough up some extra dough and get a new mobile. but its like i dont NEED anything at the moment. i hv everything i want. well, of course i could do with my own apartment, but we're not talking THAT much money here. or just keep it la. and travel at the end of the year. thinking of either spain or the benelux area. but benelux during the winter is not such a good idea, so prob stick to the south of spain..

really need to get some snooze, been sleeping for 3 hours each for the past few days. i mean, we need 8 hours and i'm getting less than half.. g'night people..

My next 4 wkends are bloody booked up..

that i dont have a spare wkend to myself.. aarrrrrrgggghhhhh.. wk1: paintball, midvalley, swimming wk2: friends wedding, midvalley, swimming wk3: malacca wk4: hiking in camerons.. (exhale)...........

oh btw, mum's gone to my cousin's place in the south to eat durians - apparently they are falling off the trees! i mean, durians of all things.. ugh, i hate durians. the smell the taste the thorns the price the fact that you can get killed just standing under a tree.. yeah, i'm a weird malaysian. i mean, i dont even like teh tarik, know what i mean? no, you prob dont.

but coming back to my mum, what riles me is the fact that she didnt tell me she was going til the 11th hour and by that time it was too late to make any arrangements to go as well.. i love the countryside, so green and fresh and laid-back. should get a job there la. taking care of farm animals or something. now that would be fun - hard work but fun nontheless..

just rmbrd that i've only read 3 pgs of arbitrage pricing, its taking me longer than i thought (for someone who's been speaking english since the day she was born). its true.. ;-)

paintball tmrw and i've been begging 3 people for appropriate clothes so far. mine are all at home cos i totally forgot that this was the paintball wkend. and know i'm prob gonna get hurt and i've said this before but whatever doesnt kill you only makes you stronger. in fact it will prob prepare me for my hike in 3 wks time (i hope). oh yeah, musnt forget my leech socks and my sleeping bag..

oh, hv been wearing the salwhar kameez to work this whole wk and 2 people actually asked me if i had an indian boyfren. i mean, helllloooooo???? if i had an indian bf, would i be going bikini shopping? i'd prob be sitting in the house learning to put buttons on a shirt or make dhal or something.. (as it is, i cant cook to save my life!). ok, can boil water la. and can put some beras in the cooker and after some time, it does turn to nasi (i believe in miracles).. and can make scrambled eggs. and if i tried hard enuff, some basic fried rice. but thats it ;-)

but i can bake. so i wont starve. and there's always cat food. i mean, how bad can it be ;-)

my sis just texted (is that even a word?) me saying that PDI has bikinis so will check that out this wkend. and blook.

and just found out tht paintball is all the way in ampang. for heaven's sake! thats like the other end of the world! ok, the other end of KL, but its still bloody far. and the way gorgeous drinks fuel, its almost unbelievable. hv to fill him up today. or tmrw. procrastination, rmbr? sayang, get a grip!

now, next thing to think abt is what to wear for my fren's wedding.. salwhar kameez is easy, no hassle, but no biggie la. saree would be nice but damn malas to tie (not that i know how to anyway), but could get some help ler.. yeah, that would be the best. i hv this sheer black one which is plain but really stands out cos of the blouse which is halter neck(ed). not the usual, mind you but it has like strings attached from the collar to the blouse which are embroidered. really nice. hmmmmmmmm... thats a thought. and with that, skol to the wkend. til the next (____fill in the blanks with an adjective____) wk ;-)

One thing after another..

Lilian... Oh my god, you're still alive. i was sooooo amazed when i saw your text today and your comment too.. hows life? when you wanna meet up?

ok, back to my blog.. hehehe.. its been such a long time, i have been so freaking busy. and the busy-ness doesnt even BEGIN to entail my social life.. yikes!

drove from shah alam to midvalley on a saturday afternoon via the federal, funnily enough, i got to midvalley in like 35 minutes. which is pretty amazing cos i expected to take like an hour at least.. oh well, someone must hv been watching out for me ;-) went for tea to strudels and had this cheese something with lemon glazing and a hazelnut frap. was one of the first to hear abt a friend's engagement cos she only got engaged an hour earlier.. met up with that arbitrage pricing guy and gonna make some money this coming weekend.. hehe.. reading his thesis i mean ;-)

oh yeah, went bikini hunting in the whole of midvalley and almost couldnt find anything that i completely fell in love with. except one. but lemme tell you abt my hunt first. since i had jusco vouchers, thats the first place i went to, and tried on abt 20 pairs over the span of an hour plus. all kinds, designs and colors and cuts. was going for an orange black combination but that was almost non-existent in the cutting i wanted. and i'm talking abt all the brands there - triumph, speedo, ogival, schwarzenbach, arena.. finally found the almost perfect one in arena and its like bloody $200 bucks!!!! i was seriously considering getting it, cos i'm not kiddin, it was almost perfect - boy shorts in blue and brown and a matching bikini top, damn cun. but for $200?? oh well, wait for the mega sale and see what happens la.

then tak puas, so went to metrojaya, on the way, stopped by la senza, edmunser and a few others but didnt really like them. kept thinking of the arena one. and i bet even if the sale came around, the discount would be very minimal. metrojaya had pretty much the same stuff as jusco but less variety, so just gave up the hunt, got some pastries at bread story (or was it bread talk?), and drove bc at 140 all the way.. wooooooooo.. the high.. :-) told myself i'll stop speeding the day i get my first ticket but so far the fortune's been good ;-)

since i got back early, was itching to go out so went shopping with daddy to get all my groceries like cereal and milk and M&Ms and oreos and digestives and pringles and yoghurt and ice cream and everything else la.

went swimming the next morning and did 1km in 45 mins (plus a few dives).. man, thats a record.. for me la (not for the olympic swimmers), tho the pool is olympic sized.

oh yeah, my mum did some charity work and allowed some stray cat to bring her day-old kittens into the house so we had to provide her with a box and loan Gremlin's cage to her so that she woldnt run off while her kids were feeding.. sheesh.. poor Gremlin. so cos i pitied him and i let him sleep on my lap while i was watching tv, i got a massive allergy attack at night and couldnt sleep til 3. woke up at 7 on monday, too tired to go to work, took an EZD (some allergy pill), and went back to bed, slept in til 1, woke up and had lunch straight ;-)

took another EZD at teatime and could sleep ok that night ler. came in to work on tuesday and tried to finish my asgmnt to no avail. logistics is just freaking killing me (in past tense, cos i'm writing on this on wednesday evening and i've already submitted 8 bloody pages of the freaking asgmnt online). FINALLY.

oh, got my priorities right again on tuesday. knowing i had pending bookings and Logistics to do, still had the drive to go play futsal. went back to the office at 10 and worked til 11.30 or so. the had a happy meal in McDs Taipan and went back and pulled an ALMOST all-nighter (did my asgmnt and slept at 4). planned to wake up at 6, get to the office by 7 and get it bloody over with my asgmnt, but OVERSLEPT. woke up with a start at 7.48 and boy did i rush. and i actually made it in time for work with abt 15 mins to spare. LDP wasnt really jammed tho, traffic was actually moving..
had a MAC competition for designing the logo and tagline and i got a drawing block and some magic pens and wrote abt 10 taglines down and submitted it.

wanna go back redi la, need to catch up on all the sleep lost last night. hv to get back, start on my proofreading, do my Market Economics.. god, this world is never gonna stop spinning is it?
oh yeah, tv progs you should not miss - Planet Funniest Animals (Ch 51, 11pm Sundays), Fear Factor Psycho (Ch17, 12am, Sundays), and a few others i cant rmbr. and italy deserved the world cup after what zidane did. tho i actually liked that guy up to that point. hey, just realised its already wednesday. hmmmmm.. got paintball this wkend but dont know if i wanna go or not la, damn malas.

also decided to make this wk a salwhar kameez wk so i'm wearing a salwhar kameez to work every day (punjabi suit for the uninitiated).. maybe next wk will be a skirt day or something la. or maybe i'll color coordinate ;-)

and Gorgeous is fine, thks for asking ;-)

and one final thing - the devil called me on sunday saying he was reading my blog and that it would be more interesting if i wrote about him.. (of all people), but he's a pretty interesting character.. if i had to use one word to describe him, it would be fun. no, egoistic would be more like it.. yeah, egoistic wins out, i mean he's worse than me!! yeah, definitely egoistic.. but thats another blog.. yeah devil, wait for it (patience is a virtue, luv ;-)

Its a Sat and I'm in the office..

And as the title suggests, I'm not very happy about it :-( Got meeting minutes to finish, Logistics is due on Wed, and some pending bookings which I havent got spaces for. And no one's replying my emails.. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh.. How do I know if my space on the vessel is confirmed??

On a better note, the whole week wasnt really bad. Apart from work that is ;-) Played futsal on Tues and went for dinner / supper to Pelita. Went to Bangsar on Wed and Thurs, and almost went on Fri as well but got my priorities all wrong and sat in the office til 11+ figuring out my asgmnt. Oh well, shit happens. And its gonna happen for the next 1+ years, so just got to bear with it, i suppose.

Going to Midvalley to meet some people for lunch, and also meet that "arbitrage pricing" guy.. if i've got time, will prob go bikini shopping or something (stil got some Jusco vouchers left.. heheheh)..

Better get back to my Logistics, thats the reason i'm in the bloody office on a Sat. Skol..

Aaaarrrggghhhh.. too busy to blog..

The title explains it I suppose. Got 2 more bookings to do, and some follow ups. Gimme an hour and I'll get back to you ;-)

Poetic Ammo's..

..its a nice day to be alive is probably overrated but.. ;-) cant rmbr what i did on friday. hmmmmm.. funny.

saturday was routine - paws, breakfast (puree with tomato chutney), sorry maequan, cant stop ;-) lunch was good, caught up with some dear people i havent seen in absolutely ages. went to teapot cafe in SS2 and had this absolutely gorgeous peach and apple crumble with custard and iced peach tea. but the place is absolutely unique and soooo cosy. the decorations are all teapots in diff shapes and sizes. my fave was one in the shape of a table with a meal set out on it. and it was complete with handle and spout. very cute. and there was a castle one. and a piano one. and a mouse one.

then had a good nap and went for a charity jamming session in RP. that was good too, and there was one band called SWV which was fabulous. got picked up by 2 guys ;-) not really cute tho, so i'll pass ;-P

oh yeah, saw both matches on saturday night (Eng-Port and Bra-Fra). that was really shitty cos i was rooting for both Eng and Bra. Eng played a good game altho they were one man down, but Brazil was pretty sad la, like they werent up to their standard.. was shit sleepy. and what a waste. i could have slept, know what i mean?

took a bath with Gorgeous on sunday evening and missed a spot where the birds crapped. did a spot of night swimming, swam for a kilometre actually and did some diving too. was great, man i LURRRVE swimming. in fact, leave me anywhere near open water and i'm a happy camper. especially if there are fish swimming under me. really miss snorkelling, come to think abt it. its been such a long time. should plan a trip to sipadan some time. hey, that would be a good suggestion for the annual dinner.. hehehehehh.. yeah right.

watched Gremlin sleep the the other day, boy do i envy him. seriously. i mean, that cat has the best life a cat could have. eats, sleeps and shits. and he sleeps just abt anywhere he fancies. on the bed, the couch, the cabinet, the oven, the swing, in fact everywhere except his basket. oh well.. but life's unfair. i wish i could trade with him for a month. not longer tho, i'll get bored, but a month is just abt right cos i'd be able to catch up on all lost sleep ;-)

saw a dead fowl on the road - sheds light on the question of "why did the chicken cross the road" :-)

export today wasnt so bad, maybe i was too apprehensive. it was pretty ok considering the nerves i was having this morning. but i'm still in the office and its 8.45 so the work part is still alive :-( could be my fault cos i took one hour off just now to go have a few good rounds of foosball. oh well, whats life when you cant have a bit of fun now and then. i mean get your priorities wrong once in a while and you'll see what i mean. you'd get a new perspective on life ;-)

shit, just rmbrd MAC. damn, hv to check that out. shit, just rmbrd logistics. oh boy..... mmmm, havent listened to this CD in absolutely AGES. its kinda nostalgic actually cos when you listen to certain songs, they take you back to a time when these songs were a part of your life. feels like i'm in the train with my earphones etched in my ears again ;-)
drove a fren's manual car today and forgot to change the gear. it was in 2, when it should hv been in 4 :-P Then when i realised, he goes like "yes, you have to rmbr to change the gear".. hahaha..
