if u are going to shop for CNY goodies..

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

do remember to boycott the brand yi kou wei.

as much as i have nothing against their products, their service totally sux to the max.. take for example, today when me and my mother went to buy goodies, this particualr promoter from the above said brand was introducing us her products and persuading us make purchases, mentioned to us that there used to be a promotion where by if u got 4 tins of cookies, u would be able to get another one free. but it ended yesterday. but then again, if we buy form her, then she would juz extend the promotion to us. like some sort of private agreement..

so we were like… ok… and decided to make purchases. but after buying, the promoter told us to wait and left. so we waited and waited.. and i approached her colleagues to enquire further… and her supervisor told me tt she went for lunch, and that they have no such promotions, and there will be no such extentions. so tt got me super pissed. its not about the value of the items but the moral integretity. like pls… if she was saying tt she would give, shouldnt she juz honour her word?

and the best part was tt she asked us to wait while she went for lunch… i could have jolly well went to the staff canteen and drag her out but nahz… (we all know tt i’m not violent.. =)) in the end, we decided not to make things difficult and juz leave… then her supervisor gave us some dried jackfruit as yi si yi si..  so ya la…. suan le lor….

but then again, i’m so having a change of mind.. and i juz might go back there tml to get her name and submit in a feedback form especially when the forms are within an arm’s reach at my workplace…. goodness… why din she realise tt i’m a staff there as well… adn i’m so gonna tell everybody upstairs not to buy anymore thnigs from them lor… then they will they their frens and frens frens and everybody would know….. GOODNESS….

over the weekend

i have the nicest, sweetest boyfriend in the whole world.. =) really really… cos only he would take all the trouble to drive me up and down the whole of singapore without complains..

it all happened when i left my keys in mother’s bag and had to go to work without my locker key.. super paiseh tt day.. then everyone was like waaaa… come to work only muz wear so nice arh… (cos i was meeting darling later after work ma..) but eventually, it was ok la.. the day wasnt as bad as i tot it would be..

so on tt sat, after work we went for dinner..or supper.. and went home.. and i remembered about my keys only on sun morning when i woke up.. serch all over the house. not on my table, not in my room, not in the living rm, not everywhere lor!! and then i realised tt it juz might be in mother;s bag cos i dumped my stuff there.. so i called her.. and she was in the lousiest mood. cos she was stuck in the exercise. and she juz freaking hung my my call on me like tt without even helping me check if my key was with her.

called her a few more times but she still refuse.. so i decided to go town first so can meet her there then easier.. so darling drove me… but mother din contact me… until she was like at kathib… then she told me.. sorry.. i’m on my way home le… total peng. so darling had to drive me home juz to take my keys and all the way to work again. poor thing… make me feel so bad… then he said something like if he dun do it for me, who should he do it for.. and if i dun ahve him to do it for me, then who should i ask to help.. which juz makes me feel even worse..

and that night we managed to finish the jigsaw puzzle.. =) and glued it together.. and it looks gorgeous! hehehehe… will take a pic sooon!

the evil management, the interesting show and the forgetful girlfriend

Monday, January 2nd, 2006

yaa….. as the title suggest it, i’m unhappy with work. cos those idiots. ok.. maybe not those… THAT idiot who planned the timetable have got totally NO brains. or rather she doesnt care. havent u had experiences when during the interview they will be telling u all the staff benefits? like ohhh.. every 5 days get 2 days off and all ur rightful benefits. well…. in everything they say, thay have a clause. and the best part is.. they dun have to explain the clause to u!! juz a "its like tt one… everybody is the same" will do the trick. so tell me… how fair is tt?

normally i wun mind. but this time i’m super pissed cos my boyfriend purposely took off to accompany me on tuesday. cos i had been wokring 5 straight days in a row and my colleague was saying stuff like she has been working 4 days in a row and if they dun give her off tml, she will make nosie. so i tot ok…. i can make noise too. but hey hey… pple dun care. say wat… no such thing, tml still muz come all the same.. and made darling have to cancel his off and rush for the first boat back. all because of the work of some dumbass.

so after all tt unhappiness, i asked if he wanted to catch a movie, narnia basically… cos i read elise’s (*waves!!!*) blog and saw tt she watched it in m’sia and it was really nice… and we havent watched a movie since chicken little… so we went to cathay to get the tix and sun bian ate the the place lips cafe was formally at. the deco and style was still about the same…. choice of food too… but their food presentation were really nice and i like their cheeze fries.. then went shopping ard cathay till the movie starts..

the movie was realy nice.. effects and all.. wat i dun like was how tt peter only juz poses with his sword fm the start till the end of the movie.. excuse me, u are supposed to fight lor… and the one with the wolves?? he din even kill it.. it was cos the wolf stupidly jumped and accidently poked itself on his sword and everybody made it seem like he killed it. when by actual fact, he still has no guts. hten the susan… better still… whole move only shoot one arrow and wow… she becomes queen.. then lucy, best… NEVER do anything lei… juz give pple drink the potion.. and it was not even made by her..

like tt i also can act la… juz hold a sword there and stand then i will be known as Cheryl the Gorgerously Magnificent!cheyyyyyyyyy… so i was telling darling tt it din make sense until i think he gave up and think its best not to argue with me… ahhahahaha…

so about the forgetful girlfriend part…. well, today was supposed to be our 8th mth anniversary. wait. today is our 8th mth anniversary. and i totally forgot about it. totally. i wonder why too. muz be the stupid management la… tt’s why.. it was only when we walked past the neoprint shop then i rem tt i wanted to take a pic every mth with him then i tot of the date then i realised. and i asked him. and he rememebred. and i felt even worse. then he was there saying wat…. nornally girls remember such things better one… how come i forgot.. muz be the work la… sooo… oops…

but we already say ok le… next mth… next mth we going to take off to go out with each other on tt day cos he say its a special day next mth… hahaha i wonder what…. =)

especially for elise

hey hey… i’ve been trying to leave a note on ur blog for ages… but juz couldn’t.. why arhh? juz to let u know tt i’m still visiting u k!! =)

welcome 2006

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

after tt wed, work was like super hectic.. those idiots that dunno how to plan the timetable make me wat work morning then full then afternoon then mornign the next day. siao! working afternoon on new yr eve is such a crime.. wats worse is asking me to work morning shift the next day.. super not happy about it..

so juz b4 i left home, suddenly had a stroke of inspiration to make him a card to give him on the stroke of midnight.. haha.. but i was running late!! so i juz managed to grab a pen and 2 pieces of paper… no sisscors and nothing… blahh.. during lunch, i juz made him a card lor.. hehe sissors and tape i kinda took fm my counter.. heheheh.. then my colleagues was like.. wats tt u’re making? hahaha… and i got some ladybird chocolate fm tt cutsy chocolate store at b2 watever the name is. mayling suggested to shread paper then twist them together to form a ribbon to tie the chocolate to the card but was kinda busy so i totally forgot about the ribbon tt i had to make… until it was time to go home…

super urghhhhhhhhhhh…

but its ok.. its still very very presentable okies! so ya la.. met him then we went to esplanade to watch the fireworks.. saw his meh meh at the train station.. we kinda took about 45 mins to reach espladade fm orchard.. but the crowd wasnt as bad as the one during christmas.. at least there were still space to walk.. all the siao pple most probally are at harbourfront.. haha..

or at cityhall mrt station.. when we got there it was like sardine-packed lor.. (but it was like 500 times better then how it was when we were trying to get home) slowly walked to esplande and found a place to sit and talk and wait for the fireworks.. the fireworks were one of the nicest and longest of the year.. even longer than the one at national day.. and it was really really beautiful.. =) Esplanade_fireworks and it reminds me of the jigsaw puzzle tt we have at home!! hahah… tt was one of the reasons why i wanted to come to esplande even though he was there insisting tt we dun come cos he was afraid tt someone would cheng ji..

and yeahh… after tt night can see how protective he is.. he pushed everyone away fm me cos he dun wan to touch me, kinda like formed a barricade arh.. so sweet. so after the fireworks, every single person from esplanade tried to go back home. together. hmmm.. by right, this muzt be the most boring countdown ba. wait. it’s not even a countdown. nobody was counting. we juz sat and waited for the fireworks. and once it ended, nodoy wished each other happy new yr.. they juz went home. juz like that. amazing how singaporeans are.. a big big difference from the countdowns i had over the year..

traffic was eaqually bad.. when we were crossing the road can see the drivers tapping their fingers on the wheel with a utterly bored look.. hahaha poor guy must have got trapped in the jam for hours.. reminded me of the time we were caught in the traffic during national day. that was terrible enough lei.. we were in the car for 2 freaking hours stuck at city hall.. total madness

and oh… we took another 45mins to reach the mrt station from esplanade. how crazy was that? left esplanade at 12.15am, reached the mrt station at 1am, reached his place about 2am. cos, while SMRT extended its train services, the retardily forgot to extend the bus services hours. so we tried to get a cab. we were freaking tired by then too. but everybody else was trying to get a cab as well.. urrgghhh..

so darling had a great idea.. ask daddy to pick us up.. so he called daddy but daddy wasnt at the restaurant with his frens. daddy was at the police station. i will leave the details out. so we had to wait and wait and wait and wait.. and walk and walk and walk and walk and walk.. then fianlly!! we managed to get home. and saw his brother. who told us he came from esplanade. and we were like -.-" ooookaayyy… we could have all gone back together lorrr….

his brother was also grumbling.. apprantly his brother left esplanade at 12.30am, took 20mins to walk to the carpark, got stuck in the traffic at city hall for 30mins and finally reach home close to 2am. (or rather 5mins after us) and then we were starving.. who wouldnt after all tt squeezing.. so we went out to buy food.. instant noodles in fact… hhahaa cos lazy to wash up and everything.. then next day i still ahve to work morning then he also got duty..

so this year was a total hectic new yr!!! but the fireworks was kinda worth it all…  but it was super siper tiring… the next day i was super stonned the whole time and fell asleep the moment i got home… =)

welcome 2006!!!

ps: i din bring my cam. totally forgot about it. such an idiot. we did took pics with his 2 megapixel phone though.. so this pic was stolen fm the web.. heee… =)
