Back to Work

b.

Just wanted to spend my weekends peacefully...

Yesterday didnt accomplish much except was robbed in broad daylight. Imagine my agony of being robbed while being jobless... Guess how?


YUP! Manicure and Pedicure. Nearly fainted at the total cost of S$80! I paint my nails myself since young and now I have paid so much for someone just to do the same job I could do myself to myself?? The only thing I felt was worth the money is, they managed to rid all my dead thick tough skin on my feet and even managed to remove foot wart almost totally! Amazing effects.

Other than all these, nothing is worth its money value! The colour didnt last either. I already noticed minimal colour chips now. PTUI!

Dont go Nail Palace. They do serious hard selling. S$80 and want me to sign package!??! All china girls! OMG. No way, I'm going back. I feel the pinch in my wallet! Not well done at all.

Today Sunday, because I felt a burn in my pocket yesterday, I went JB shopping. HEHE. Bought nothing much though. Was kinda disappointed not succeeding in buying my contact lenses. Boo.

Had live prawn steamboat dinner::

Not that worth the steam, dirts, squeeze, smoke, etc. Only the live prawns were good, nothing else is. Ha. But it has been a long time since I last had steamboat dinner. :p

Back Singapore at 10pm. Yawn.. Now gotta pack my bag and wake at unusual 6.30am for work tomorrow. It is as if my ROM tomorrow. Haha. New clothes, new nails, new haircut, partly new shoes and partly new handbag. Havent felt this nervous for a long time....

I guess I also wont be blogging as frequent.. Not sure how is my office environment.. What if... internet is prohibited? My gawd.

Ciaoz. Heading for my beauty sleep. How excited.

the LAST DAY

c.

Finally.... the last 15mins of the last day.

Was seriously rather depressed. Afterall, I got a little used to leading a carefree life for the past 9 weeks. Since when I get to have kopi session during weekday afternoons?

But then again, these 9 weeks of no-income is rather killing. School fees loan, insurance/investments, parents' allowances, bills, my own expenses which of course includes my recent dive trip, etc. I am very surprised I survived! So now i left 4 more weeks of no income till my first pay. I am really trying hard to cut down on drinking sessions and cab takings, really.

The one and only thing I will miss badly when I start work, would be.. H.O.M.E.. Yup, most of you might not know, I'm a very homely girl. I enjoy spending time at home, watching TV, reading magazines, even just taking a bath. I miss home cooked food. I miss baby (whom most likely I wont see anymore from next Mon onwards). I miss my DELL. So many more!

On a brighter note, it is a NEW start. Higher pay, new colleagues, better prospects. I believe it will be the getting-to-know-one-another week next week. Yes, I hate the journey and long travel time to office and back home, but I am optimistic I will get used to it in no time. Provided I wont be hooked to get around in cabs. Ha. Oh! And I have to dress up slightly more now. Boo.

I am also guilty for not working out hard enough during these 9 weeks. Didnt swim nor gym as I thought I would before I quit my previous job. Oops.

It has been a long 1.5years since I last had a long and stable relationship. This thought just suddenly dawned upon me. I am still moving on. But the more I do, the more I love myself and the more I cant love another. I chose to believe, everything's fated.

I didnt accomplish anything much for today except I spent my maximum time with Baby boy.

Contemplating if I should go for manicure and pedicure to have a fresh start on Monday.. Hmm... Maybe I do it in JB...? :p

Last 2nd Day- My Birthday!

a.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me Me Me!

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Seriously, every year my Birthday wishes didnt come true, why bother to wish all over again? Because..... the joy of it! Believing they will come true makes one happier! Muahhaha...

I wish I have fairer complexion.

I wish I have bigger breasts.

I wish I can be taller.

I wish I have slimmer arms.

I wish I have perfect eyesight.

I wish for a HTC Diamond phone.

I wish for Peugeot 107.

I wish for a LeeHwa purple gold diamond ring.

I wish I am younger.

Curious how I spent my birthday? Here's how..

Woke at 7am, went back to sleep. Woke at 8am, went back to sleep. Woke at 9am, still went back to sleep. Woke at 10am, finally decided to get out of bed. With the numerous well wishes from friends via SMS, impossible to sleep without the phone beeping away. But thanks ALL for the well wishes!!!! I'm not forgotten! I'm loved!! YAY!

Spent some time surfing the net, as usual, then had a simple lunch with Mama. And the day just started...

Horlan Queen in action, as usual. I THOUGHT the studio is at Shaw Towers, but no, I combed the entire level 2 before I gave up and called Stacia, then realised, it was where I came from.. Boo.

Met TCS on the way to the studio. Had a little chat and moved on.

Guess what I did? YUP! HAD A MAKEOVER! A complimentary session by Stacia. Thanks Stacia!!!

This is how the make up area looks like::

This is me after changing into 2nd set of clothes, waiting for my hair to be done::

Sneakily took photographs in the fitting room, after realising the "NO PHOTOGRAPHY" posters everywhere (even though I took pictures ALREADY right underneath the posters from where I was seated earlier on, above picture)::

Welcoming the FHM finalist (I swear the other photos were much slutty!!!)::

This, definitely doesnt look like me at all...::

I DEFINITELY LOOKED STRANGE WITH MAKEUP, first time ever!

And yes, Dumb Eve at play again... Was already instructed by Stacia to look for someone in particular for the sales part, but it didnt drill deep enough into my brains.. In the end, I sat there, wanting-to-pee but cannot pee, entertained someone who is definitely not very good in sales, and late for my Suntec facial.

Stacia came save me::

Thanks Stacia for giving me this chance, I take it as my present! But it costs me fifty eyelashes and hundreds of hair lost!

Worst of all, I didnt get the 50 photos back in CD rom format, only got miserable TWO back AND WITH LOWEST RESOLUTION POSSIBLE, which are the above.. BOOx10000000!!! Must say that most of the shots turned out pretty unexpectedly nice. It is such a waste not able to bring the rest of the shots back!

Arrived at Facial 30mins late. It was the best facial therapist I ever had, someone from Vietnam. It was the first time she served me. Very detailed and patient. Yummy!

Rushed down to Timbre at 8pm. It was a hide-and-seek with Babe. Horlan personality kicks in, thats why. Must mention I received a pretty MANGO dress that is very my-style and a pair of dangling earrings which are also very my-style. Babe knows me best! Kisskiss. I'm gonna wear them to work on my first day next Monday! Yeah!!!

Not forgetting a yummy dessert! (cos cake all sold out! Even at nearby area) *appreciated!*::

Babe got the band to sing me a Birthday song too! Thanks!

Me (total change removed all the makeup) and my bestie::

Coincidentally met August (and Alexis)::

Had a hilarious time convincing August it is really my birthday and the "Eve" the band were looking for and singing Birthday song to, is none other than ME lar! haha.

Okway, so Im back home, done blogging and all.

Once again, thanks ALL for those smses (including the one who sms from overseas), well wishes in Facebook, hand shakes, etc. Must also mention that ICE, who had smsed me for the past 3years on my birthday, managed to wish me at 12mn this year!

Oh! And a special eCard from 小帅 at 1pm just before I left home. The negatives were: was waiting for pancake and beng to wish me, but I guess they forgotten about my birthday so.....

Anyway, I'm extremely happy I had such a day. :)

Last 3rd Day

b.

Wednesday liao, so fast.

Again, I couldnt drag myself out of bed at 8am nor 9am. So I only got up near 10am! My first thought, damn, my swimming plan gonna fail AGAIN?! So sad leh. But then I did plan to go rollerblading in the afternoon so die die have to drag my butt to the swimming pool.

Confirmed 90% the pool would be opened today.

Nice. Stadium, at 10.40am, only three joggers, meaning pool only 5-10 swimmers? Cool

Carpark has more cars than yesterday, means pool is now 99% confirmed open.101% confirmed pool is opened!Heaven. The pool.But you guys know what? It rained the moment I wore my rashie and dipped into the pool. TMD. The water freaking COLD lor! And the wind was chilling!!! Must be the rain la. Luckily this pool is sheltered, if not, I would have made a wasted trip to the pool AGAIN.

I aimed the time carefully, and make sure on my way back home, there isnt rain. Succeeded.

Back home during lunch, rained again. *SIGH* Blading plan aborted. Aborted liao then not much chances I get to blade on a weekday afternoon lor! Tsk. Should have started to blade earlier.

This is already the 9th week of nuah..

4th last 'closed' day

b.

Tried waking early for a morning swim but........ Ya, I only woke at 10am. Reason being... last night I stayed up till very late to catch one bug that kept flying about in my room. Everyone who knows me would have known that I am super ultra timid, wont even dare to kill an ant, and now I have to actually catch a big flying bug??!

Hilarious sight. I sat on bed watching it flew. Opened the windows wide. Holding two pieces of wet tissue. Praying. Prayed it can fly out of the window on its own. It didnt.

After a long struggle, and being soooooo sleepy and tired already, I decided to just whack it! Not literally "whack" it but I meant, 'WTF just catch la'! I manged to wrapped it with the two wet tissue I was holding then dumped into a plastic bag, then making sure it was still alive, I tied the plastic bag. Ta-da, off lights and sleep!

So, decided to make full use of time, I went market with baby to have my watch battery changed.

My 2006 X'mas gift. Its ticking now! Yeah. Must mention that I went to the shop I usually go to, it was closed!! Boo.. At 11am still not yet opened! EEekk. Luckily found another shop on the way back home.

As I decide to go swimming after lunch, it started pouring!!!! Ptui! So suay....

I felt I cannot procrastinate anymore, so made a final decision to go ahead with swimming once rain stopped, which I did!

So delighted!!! See the carpark!

Nobody one! Freaking delighted, so it means the pool wont be crowded! I love weekdays noon!

Happily reached the aquatic level to only see the pool is closed. TMD. To think I 'struggled' with decision-makings the entire day and finally made up my mind to go and.... Booo.. REALLY SUAY.

Shan't give up, tomorrow MORNING try again, before I go blading again!

Ok, going for class soon, hope the lessson dont play me out! It'd better be open! Already wasted my entire day.

5th last day

b.

Moody la, starting work real soon. Today is the brand new week of the 9th week of being jobless. Boo.

My day started with 小帅 asking me for my Email Address at 9am. I gave but he didnt email me even till 12am, wondered why he even need my email address. Hmm...

When I start work...., I will miss baby!
Went to PS to meet some customer then rushed to factory before it closes for the day. Dumping Mel all alone at PS.. Oops.

But Mel went over to TP to meet me, because after factory visit, I went TP to pass things. Then he decided to do dinner at Maxwell market with the familar porridge stall, Mel and me just go with it.

Had a walk through Chinatown after he left and since we are already there! Me and Mel::
Self taken with nice posters background::

And a chit chat at Macdonalds to on bus 143.

That pretty much ended my 5th last day. So another 4 more days to go only.. Afterwhich, no more baby days, no more noon-kopi-chats, etc.
