toys r us

i am now a star member of toys r us... for spending $50! i is proud... so anyone need to pick up toys, let me know... they have special offers for toys which are pretty good deals...

spent yesterday shopping for birthday gift for a fren's daughter. she has a birthday party tomorrow. it was not easy. girl toys are so boring. there were truckloads of barbies and stuff but i boycott these stupid evil-looking dolls. i just basically dislike dolls that try too hard to look human. look what chucky and his bride did!!!! eeeee.... scary la.

boy toys... are not very much more exciting either. i think i've always been more stuff toy and books sort of kid. i remember liking building blocks, lego and jigsaws... very intellectual hor.... heeehee =D

oh well... the exciting thing was that i bought a toy for meself... hahaa...

back to the grind...soon...

fast huh... i will soon be starting work... again. don really look forward to it but there's really so much nuahing i can do, and so much $ i have in my bank. back to reality...counting back i would have taken exactly two months' break. pretty good! but really i wdnt complain if it was longer. hehehh...

last wkend was memorable... a really last min bkk trip, was thrown together over tue and wed...evil twin, sml, me and on fri, we flew off, to join kampong boy on his work trip...heee... it was also the best bkk trip i've had. i REALLY recommend that girls, when u go bkk... leave ur bfs/ hubbies behind and go with ur gfs!!! because...

1) strong bargaining power (more gers buy more = cheaper)
2) only girls appreciate the diverse stuff that girls can get, there's really everything in bkk and cheaperrrrrrr... girls will be there with a mission and a purpose = ULTIMATE fulfilment
3) really good "bonding"
4) eat eat eat....
5) shop shop shop shop...what else is there to say???

really buy and buy and buy but overall i is happeee...

this is the fantastic part... we tried out mani and pedi at this mezzanine place in the middle of siam paragon... u sit in massage chair one ok! tsk tsk...lavish... painting skills not fantastic...but shiok-ness ranks very high... haha...
even kampong boy did his first ever mani pedi... hahaaawe had a very focused trip which was good coz i was less tired than other bkk trips i made. all the past trips... my purpose was to cover as much ground as possible. this trip... we concentrated on platinum mall (beautiful dresses and trendy stuff... over here the more pcs u get, the cheaper it is lor...), JJ weekend mkt (must go whether u are getting anything, very happy this time, found le sportsac bags!! regret not getting more!! =( ...), tailor (i think only so-so... of course overall price is cheaper than sgp but hmmm i not super impressed), siam paragon (have to go coz its new... and the like all sgp girls... must visit the lingerie section la, got time pls go chk out the underwater world at the basement... theres entry fee tho...but we no time!! no time!!!!!!)... then of course random walking at siam ctr...but BIG must do... go BOOTS! fantastic pharmacy stocked with yummy smelling shampoos, lotions, body wash etc... very very nicely packaged products too... i wished i had more heads and body to wash/ smear lotions on... =( only so much i can buy... too heavy... heeee

we stayed this hotel...residence... lobby dam nice but errr... i cant say for the room. i am not complaining very much, for $70 a nite, we are walking distance to the main attraction of platinum mall... i is happy la.
our hotel was opp a college, the students very happening, wear makeup to school one, even the boys!yahyah oso went bkk with us. he not so adventurous ... don like the heat and the sweat so stayed in the room most days... hahaa... guard the door la.
we had jap at the basement of siam paragon
steamboat at MK, MBK.... dunkin donutssssss!! =)local stuff at S&P, siam ctr...see evil twin so happy...

25 days and counting

25 days of deprivation. probably one of the longest record to date. bz bz bz... = s where's mt emily... pontini... pratas, brain-dead silences and senseless chatters... where where where...

i am still lo-bo-ing, days are spent running/ swimming... reading, watching tv...attending interviews. a sampling of some questions i really can't figure out..

- what makes u think u can contribute to this role?
(i sent in my cv thinking i can do the job and you must think i can too then ask me for interview rite?)
- u have been working in non-retail env what makes you think u can carry out this role?
(if u doubt so much... ask me for interview for what? and really comms is comms la!)
- how would your co-workers describe you?
(ask them lor? ;))
- what are your weaknesses?
(pleasssseeeee..... we all think of ourselves as weakness-less beings... we are ever-mighty!)

interviews are so fake... as a matter of principal, i do not lie nor make myself sound super big nor exaggerate... silly mayb, i am sure it is not to my advantage but i really i don't want to be one of those fak-os that boast and boast and smoke and smoke...i really try to be honest and humble. i think these 2 are very impt at my stage of work life... when im neither here nor there. well but really sometimes i have answers to questions that are ready to roll off my tongue but cant... we don't wana insult anyone you know. then i have to remind myself humility humility...and really there are no stupid questions... hee hee... really arhhh?

happy birthday to me... =) went by in a flash.. i hereby declare myself forever 28!

another week gone by...

... doing what... i dono...

was doing my routine of reading BM's blog. this is dam meaningful... pretty much sums up what i feel about work and relationships.

"Secondly, let's talk about work and life. If you think working gives meaning to life, then working a lot is ok. Actually, I think if one sees work as a means to sustain life, then I suspect having to work a lot will have to be a huge pain in the ass.

Does making a life together mean spending time together? I think not. Being in the same space at the same time, does not guarantee meaningful existence."

i want a job that is either 1) is average and do not need me to work me ass off - i get my pay and go home and maintain my sanity or.. 2) dam interesting and meaningful such that i would live-breathe-dream of WORK and feel that it is all worth it. at the moment i am swinging towards 1) i think i need a toned down life for the next few yrs at least... as predicted by a "power" fortune teller (PS: i did not ask her to tell my fortune, she just volunteered it). i am looking at 10 years of low around my late 20s and 30s... haha... i dono la... never really live by what these mambo jambo... watever i don really care but cannot say it doesnt affect me at all. i do think about it now and then and how it seems to have started since two years ago...i mean this woman dont know me one lor...and yet she sees this and just wanted to tell me to grit and bear through this 10 years with a low key life and job and all will be fine. hmmm...

some people have been asking what i want for my birthday...its around the corner ;) didnt really tell them but i will share here... haha... by luck they will see??
- L-erV damier azur canvas speedy 30 =))

- Polar heart rate monitor - with training planning... speed/dist (good to have too) functions

- nokia e65

- balenciaga motorcycle bag (my gold one spoilt!!!) - i not so high end, this one can be a fako one... in a nice colour will do!

- experience Sunday Luxe, Global Kitchen, Pan Pacific Hotel (per pax $175!)... droolable menu
- a weekend escape to bali or kuching =(

- a job

- if above is not possible a sugar daddy would be nice... heehee... where's my sugar daddy?? ;)

well...yesterday marked the start of the series of "celebration" with people from my many diverse villages. actually i am numb... i act happy but really am i happy? i do not know anymore. i have so-called lost the ability to feel. most of the time i am indifferent about things and to me i am going though this existence thing... i just exist coz i have to. not really living. of course i am totally appreciatative of my friends and what they did/ do/ will be doing but i guess i do think... as i always do... around festive periods... about the loss. someday someday i might become in touch with my emotions again hee...

on a completely different note... i am a hamster nanny haha... this is squirt... i was taking care of him when my fren went bali for a break... she's back but he's still here. nite before he made a daring escape from his cage... funnee... eventually the lazy bugger crept out when i left food scattered around. i swear i've never seen a lazier hamster lor... he sleeps like nobody's business and is also picky about food.

sleeping...
kena woken up by me...
cute la... but i must admit difficult to get attached really to a hamster... especially an extremely sleepy one! =s
