Tips from Her World Magazine:
~ Too much work me thinks, for lazy bums like me hehe. Especially on laying it flat to dry (I don't have the space for this!) But not ironing is a blessing - I've not touch an iron for say.. 20 years?! :D
I love love the black dress by the way ;)
Another tip from Her World Magazine
Probably time to invest on a dry box? *coughs*
No wonder most of my silver accessories has gone rusty :(

Love love love this song..
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Woah woaaah.
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now (wait)
Ooo, baby, I need you now

It is so comforting to know that one of my favourite food is doing my bones some good! I absolutely love Sunsweet Pitted Prunes and would always include one or two in my smoothie.
However, what about their sugar content?
And wait, they contain oxalates too. But if you're generally healthy then it is not so much of a concern.
Moderation is the key..

I had a 5 mins panic episode when I tried to remove some hangings from the door (wood finish).
The double sided tape was very old, and wouldn't come off! And scraping with a knife was useless. Yikes! And I needed to hang some stuff up for my wedding! Yikes yikes yikes!
Fortunately there was the Internet. And Google. :)
WD-40 works!!
Just soak the area with it, and after a mo, wipe it off. No marks on my door!
Hehe.. after that, clean off the area with wet cloth. :D
Thank God for the Internet!
*another forumer suggested heating with a hair dryer instead.
I've not tried this, because WD-40 worked!

Came across an article: - Calcium can reduce PMS related cravings.
Aim to raise calcium intake to 1200 mg during the last half of menstrual cycle. Those are the days when hormonal mood and appetite changes are most prevalent.
1000 mg is enough for other days.
Some examples of calcium content:
Milk 1 cup, 250mg-350mg
Orange juice 1 cup, 350mg
Cheddar cheese 1 ounce, 211mg
Broccoli 1 cup, 100mg
Yoghurt 1cup, 350mg-450mg

As a perfection-driven leader, I find it difficult to deal with incompetent employee. "Tough" probably is a more suitable adjective.
When a person boasts about being a senior, aspiring to be a leader; but instead possesses the mentality of a teenager - pushing back responsibilities, holding grudges, refusing to accept constructive critisim - this irks me to hell.
Mentally I would have slammed the brain out of him/her. If I give in to my 5-seconds-of-devilish thoughts time, I would have shown him the way out. Come back when you've finally grow up. But I don't own the company.
Truth is - Not possible. That is what bosses do, not a leader.
And my goal is to be a leader, and that x years down the road, I want to look back and not have an ounce of regret in me.
I don't intend to be a leader who:
- stamps her feet and bang her table in anger
- or throw my mouse / pen / stapler / whatever reachables to hint others that she is having a bad day
- yell "fuck you bitch" during a con-call (muted or not) just because someone does not agree with her.
- compliments herself for something "great" when the truth is, she was being delusional. She did not want to know the truth about what people think of her.
- updates all her frustrations (gosh pimples / that idiot / sick / having a gossip season) into Facebook every 5 seconds.
- write to peers smirking about how my ex-teams have no more talented people (well, if one is talented - your manager would want to keep you).
So those are what makes it so mentally challenging for me.
Today. Yesterday. A week ago. Ever since I inherited some gems.
I'm not hating what I'm going through. But I am aware that I am human, and I have flaws. Sometimes it is just not my day to be a good leader. Sometimes, it is just me and how I feel (at heart of course).
Old dog doesn't learn new tricks. Well here is a challenge for me. I'm working on taming the old dog (which unfortunately reports to me). Enjoying the learning process, but I need a channel to rant and then move on.

... irks me to death.
Disorientated, self doubt then kicks in.
Negativity, they rush in waves.. hush.
Pessimist - time to replace the queen.
What do I want, really?
Its time.. its here..
Something is about to change!

This weekend was full of surprises.
And big as in alot has happened.
Friday was stressful, as one of my peer was leaving. Only it means I will inherit her team. Yep, making my team double its size. Like suddenly got preggers with alot of kids *roll eyes*
The BF and I decided we need a little de-stress; so we went for a movie.
We chose Detective 2.
This was set in Thailand, the old deco / furniture really have the Thai vibes.
Dialogue was in Cantonese.
Aaron Kwok, reprising his role as Tam, the dorky private eye who 'fumbles' his way around investigating murders.
Kwok plays Tam, an ex-cop turned private detective, who is still trying to make sense of his parents' death. This is because a series of mysterious murders reminds him of his childhood. And as he 'assists' his cop buddy Chak (Liu Kai Chi) to solve the mysteries, against the wishes of Chak's boss, Inspector Lo (Patrick Tam), he discovers clues that suggest that the killer is psychotic.
And as Thai police start pulling in mental cases for investigation, the killings start piling up...
The plot is so similar to the first movie that this one is more of a remake than a sequel. In fact those who have seen the 2007 film would get a feeling of deja vu as Kwok and Liu Kai Chi go through the same buddy-buddy repartee here.

Director Oxide Pang's work here is erratic at best. He expands and repeats scenes of Tam's doggedness in his unofficial investigations and squanders the chance to heighten thrills in the murder sequences by cutting off abruptly at crucial stages. He makes no attempt to lend credibility to the plot involving the Thai police, making them look so incompetent and ignored.
All in all, I enjoyed the movie. There were times when I felt that it was dragged on too long - I don't quite like suspense when I watch in cinema.
There will be a sequel to this, I am sure.
*Aaron is still hot as hell - that body is damn fit ;)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Saturday morning - (ooohhh I love sleepin in) I found out my favourite pet groomer has sold her business. Gee.. I'll miss her service. Managed to find another good one, RM45 for a bath + grooming. My pooch Fi had a clean hair cut. Ahh no more fur on my black clothes! :)
While waiting, I had my facial at Origins. I find myself feeling reluctant to go nowadays. As if appointments like this tied up all my weekend time. But it is more towards my dissatisfaction of their service. This time my appointment was pushed back to 45 mins later because the earlier customer was late.
Without hesitation, I told the manager I was unhappy. Well get a proper policy going. Not only is it super difficult to make an appointment (they don't have a regular therapist who is available every weekend; and I wasn't told about this before I signed the damned package) - now my whole schedule is at risk because of some people who can't be punctual?
I was promised this would not happen again. To be fair, who doesn't like a pampering facial? Origins is unique that during the masking session, they place a hot pillow (filled with husk?) on my shoulder, and another cool eye pillow. Hence I was never left feeling cold and uneasy. On top of that, their products smells great.
My only disappointment is that massage isn't long enough. Love the one by Leonard Drake.
In the evening, we had another round of pampering - Foot Reflexology.
Ahh so good for the body, though I felt pain sometimes (eeps, warning sign - something is not right. I never felt pain during a reflexology before). The lady loosened up those tensed muscles.. bliss. Then headed off to Kayu for teh tarik and roti planta - their kuah ikan is the best!
The BF enjoyed his football match while I read reviews on Phyto - Phytopolleine Universal Elixir Scalp Stimulant. MakeupAlley has a rating of 5! Its on sale now btw..
Got an email from Vintage Sister that my order has finally been dispatched. About time yo! Got home, and proceeded to filter out some mags to get rid of.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sunday - again, slept in :P After lunch, headed to Pisa for the furniture expo. Didn't think I was gonna spend but... :O
I came back about 1.5k poorer :P I bought a nice study table + a bookcase (delivery is 10 days). And then we headed to town for yummy GuiLing Gao with Pearl (anti aging yo RM8) before stepping into Mekio for an office chair. RM378 *cough cough*
But, considering that I have not change my furniture for the past 12 years.. not bad eh? ;) In 2 weeks' time, I'll have a "new" home. Hehehe.
No grocery shopping this week, just tom yum dinner and home to rest.
Did a round of laundry and chilling..
Then Brother called. His request - take a Friday off. He is treating me a weekend in Singapore! Whoaaa I mean huh?!
This is like sooo sudden! I don't know, I mean I'll be heading to Korea end of next month.. But sounds so bloody tempting I'm eyeing the Singapore Sales now...
What a weekend, eh?! ;)

On a random note - isn't this nice?
Surprise from Google - well done guys! :D
Andddd ewwww another dream!
This time I was sort of having an affair, and the guy in my dream is someone from work. Urrggghhhh!
What bloody hint could this be?
The dream dictionary says:
To dream that you commit adultery or have an affair, signifies your sexual urges and desires that are longing to be expressed. Alternatively, it indicates self-betrayal of your subconscious. You may find yourself entangled in a situation that is not in your best interest, perhaps even illegal.
At times people have dreams about cheating on their spouses as a response to a long and monogamous relationship. The dream may be a compensation for boredom, monotony or unhappiness.
On the other hand, the dream could be about you connecting to deeper parts of self, which is represented by a desirable person of the opposite sex. On rare occasions a person may suspect, or feel on some level, that their mate is not faithful but is not willing to admit this consciously.
Thus, in the dream state the individual confronts his fears and from there may begin to deal with the situation on a conscious level.
Hoo Boy!! WTF?!?

Yet another mind boggling dream, so random.
Or am I being hinted?
I was about to reach the airport when I realized I left my passport at home!
Merde! Impossible to turn back as flight is about 30 mins (or 15?) time.
Aarrgghhh I missed my flight to Singapore!
From Google:
To dream of missing flight means you are overwhelmed with work or other activities and you sense you lost control of time (missing flight is a sense not being able to be on time somewhere). You are just not able to cope with time schedules and dead-lines.No matter what you do. It all is too much,and too fast.
It is a common dream where you miss your flight because of different reasons (a wrong ticket, trouble with passport, money). This dream indicates that you are juggling with a lot of responsibilities (luggage) and struggling against time constraints. But at the same time the dream reveals that, in general, you are a very well-organised person. The dream says that you need to plan ahead and tackle smaller pieces of a task at a time, don't take on more than is manageable.
Man, darn good fortune teller. Indeed I am currently juggling alot of things. Work especially. And then there is life to live. (I absolutely hate it when I need to work over the weekend, but my job role sorta requires it) :S
So... more time management it is.
Not that I'm not already good at this.. Hmmmm

I dreamt of a rabbit last night...
It was a weird weird dream.. I was in bed, and this bunny (I don't remember what colour) was by my side for a while. Then it was alway hopping around but each time it'll try to hop back by my side..
I Googled this up and this is what it says:
To see a rabbit in your dream, signifies luck, magical power, and success. You have a positive outlook on life. Alternatively, rabbits symbolize abundance, warmth, fertility and sexual activity. Perhaps your sex life needs to be kept in check. The dream can also be associated with Easter time and your own personal memories of Easter.
In particular, to see a white rabbit in your dream, symbolizes faithfulness in love. The white rabbit also serves as a guide to steer you toward the right direction.
If the rabbit is hopping in your dream, then it indicates fertility. You will be surrounded by children. Alternatively, the dream may be analogous to your lack of commitment and how you jump from one thing or another.
What the.. (X) Children?! But I have no intention of having children!
OMG no..!
Maybe lack of commitment. I've been wanting to do alot of stuff but am just not putting any into action. Like filing tax!
Many seems to relate Rabbits with sexuality / fertility. Thank God there are deviations:
In dream language, while fertility may point to the actual state of being able to procreate, more than likely fertility means something broader. Dream fertility often points to the creative process, being in a receptive state of mind which may lead to creative projects. Dream creativity may be anything from a project at work to an artistic endeavour.
Even if there are not many, rabbit in a dream may still represent fertility. Fertility may also come in the form of increased luck or good fortune or any form of excess.
Rabbits are also known for their speed and agility. They are quick thinkers who allow intuition to guide their feet as to the best route possible to escape danger or find food. As such they may symbolize a situation requiring you to use a quick mind, fast feet, and openness to your own intuition.

What an assurance, increased good fortune! Even needing to be a quick thinker sounds good :)

Everyone has crappy days, yes. Now crappiness is targeting me sigh.
Yesterday was hell at work.
I inherited a staff from my boss, and has been trying to mould her at work.
With x number of years at the company, she is waaay more senior than me. But, God I shouldn't be saying / thinking this, she need alot of help in the intelligence department :(
She is basically a do-as-you-say 90% of the time (but with 50% level of accuracy) and 10% of I-thought-this-is-acceptable-too person. And when I talk about intelligence, I mean after 11 months of teaching her one bloody function, she is still capable of making mistakes every month. Yes, consistent!
To further add salt to the injury. My 2 month old new hire is up and running independantly, doing more complex tasks. Now what can I say?
I decided to randomly pick one piece of her work for checking. And it must be her unlucky star, I detected mistake right away. In this work function, mistake is a big no no and could result in executive escalations. Bloody bloody bloody inheritance, really!!
And when asked, she gave me baseless assumptions! She knew her work doesn't match and she allowed it to happen. In my entire 7 years in this department, I've never lash out at an employee / anyone. Yesterday I was churning out profanities mentally. I have zero tolerance for stupidity, really.
Funny thing, though I don't regret thinking what I thought (I need to let of some steam, else I'd regret what I say); I do feel a tiny bit of evilness for my thoughts. I was mad, damn irritated because if I was the one hiring at that point of time, I'd never hire her. Charity by The Boss, and I get his mess.
Farrrrrk! (excuse me, but really..!)
I know, in another angle, she is not stupid. She is just not right for the job. But Holy Lord, what she is doing now is the easiest task within my care. Anything easier would be bringing me tea and massaging my feet!
Came back after a cooling dinner. Porridge to soothe the fire in me lol. And sat down furiously churning out those steam.. and this caught my attention..
A pretty and delicate petal that Momma just came up to me and hand it to me.
:) And I feel so much better. I have a demanding mom (trust me, she demands perfection from her daughter); but she always know how to cheer me up...
I offer a silent prayer to my employee, I hope you improve, really.
Because I cannot be holding your hands forever...

Each time it rain this heavy, I love love love being at home.
All cuddled up with a cup of lavender tea..
Preparing to lull me into deep sleep later.
Thank you God for showering those in need of water.. and at the same time makes me feel so warm and loved!

... of Jasmine.
I'd love to have pots of Jasmine in my apartment (actually daydreaming of my mansion with huge garden, but.. come on.. how possible is it to get a mansion in Penang!?)
Imagine the early morning breeze, scented by the delicate petals..
Or sip a cup of Jasmine scented green tea..
Maybe take a few whiffs of Jasmine breeze, brought by the heavy rain wind?
I used to place a few petals in my car, and then driving makes me happy :)
I was at the nursery yesterday.. a pot costs about RM12.
I'm resisting a purchase as I will be off to Bangkok soon, and no one would water my plants then.
Soon, white beauty..
Wait for me :)

I was high on Panadol (yes.. just Panadol can easily make me sleepy) last night when I got the call. My staff got into an accident and was hospitalized.
The cheeky but reliable boy. And then I heard "bones" and "dunno how long in surgery room".. and my mind was blank. What the hell? I'm the sick one... what was this about hospitals and surgery?!
I just spoke to the boy before he got off work!
I knew he wasn't doing good when his Dad called me.
Walking into the surgery ward was a horrifying experience. I haven't gone to one in decades.. (ok I'm not thaaat old.. maybe 2 decades).
As I looked for familiar face.. my heart kinda broke when I saw the boy. Bruises all over, and his face... swollen lips and bandaged. I kept thinking.. how could this happen to someone I know? He was sleeping when I reached.. and looked very fragile..
Spoke briefly to his dad before he woke up. For a few seconds he stared at me.. and I thought he probably was still drowsy. He recognized me.
He can't talk.. but he tried. And to see the usually cheeky and lively person in this state is (I'm loss for words). What could I do to help?
At this point, all I can do is offer a silent prayer that he recovers soon.
As long as everyone is safe and sound, that is all matters.
You're missed at work, boy!

Whether attached or single, may you always (365) have blissfully happy days with your loved ones.. :)
I refused to give in to commercialism, hence:
- I was at work till 8pm, it was raining heavily (even God was tsk tsk tsk-ing me)
- Because it was raining, I had to go to the mall for a quick bite. It took us 30 mins to get a parking spot. Never underestimate the power of V Day.
- So glad not many favour Subway tonight. Had my Sub Of The Day.
- A random pop in to Daiso and came out with these, sigh:
Then I head back home feeling rather happy. Except that tomorrow is a Public Holiday and I'll be working.. again. I'm romancing my career you see...
Friday, February 11, 2011
Uisshh! I just realized that I forgot to print my eVouchers!
Arrrghhh and the massage session is this Sunday afternoon.
Bah, ageing really sucks.
Now I'll just have to make a trip back to the office grrr...

Some tips from a Taiwanese Feng Shui master:
* Do not hang your wedding potrait above your bed.
* Do not place lamps by your bedside.
- The above combination mimics a grave. You are "praying" to yourselves everynight. How good can that be?
Hmmm kinda makes sense. No harm trying eh, for the sake of your marriage..
CNY is always about gambling, luck, gambling, luck. So it is no surprise that all movies shown are either about Mahjong, Feng Shui or Poker eh?
Movies about gambling always amazes me.. because I don't know how to. Hahaha yeah I don't know how to play Poker, am just a beginner at Mahjong. Facinating when they call out various winning combinations.
I think Uno Cheuk's female assistant's role is the easiest to play. She barely utter more than 3-4 sentences in the whole movie. Just like a silent secret admirer of her boss. Hmmm.... weird idea.
Oh and because I don't really understand Chinese (yes, I'm a banana!) I don't understand who is good or bad lol. Uno Cheuk looked like a good guy, so pro at poker. Did he intentionally let Jack win?
So fickle, he was into Season at first... and in a blink of an eye, Smiley became his other half? Hmmm weird..
Entertaining anyhow.. :)

Released in April last year and I only get to watch it now..
CNY is indeed a time to be lazy and catch up with movies hahaha.
The scene where Fighting Fish were teased mercilessly about not having a dad, brings back memories to me..
When I was 9, I went through the same experience. My dad has just passed away, and at school I was teased. Looking back, the boy was fat and short, just like the kid portrayed here haha.
Of course, I did not hit the kid back. I studied very hard, became a prefect at school, and constantly checked on the fat kid. I'd do so well in Maths that in many lessons, I was appointed by the teacher to mentor some weak lazy kids. Guess what.. the fatty was one of them. My loyal ruler was always with me.. and I had valid excuse to smack his hands.. lol. Revenge was sweet..
Anyway, I like this movie, but pity it ended with both Botak and Fighting Fish not being together... sad, ain't it?

I'm amused with majority of job seekers' attitude. After being involved in hiring for about a year, here are my little findings:
- They come for interview, not knowing what position they are applying for.
- They come for interview without any preparation, not even some background study of the organization.
- They do not know what are their skills.
- They are not able to sell their good points or talk about improvement opportunities.
- They come in tongue-tied. The most I could ever get out of them is either yes, no or *silence..* (!!) Sometimes I don't feel like helping them at all with some probing questions. If you dont respect your job opportunities, get your arse out!
- Not bringing a pen along. Hello! You plan to use your blood to fill in application forms?
- Come for interviews and talk bad about the job they wish to leave. Hmmmm digging your own grave people!
- Being late. Enough said. My worst case was the candidate was late for 45 mins. And because she was recommended by a friend, I sat in and listened to her for 10 mins and thanked her for her time. I'm not adjusting my other schedules for people like that. And no, she did not get the job despite having close connection with internal people.
- You call them to schedule an interview, and they tell you " Uhmm cannot la i think.. After Chinese New Year can ah? Month end la now". You think your father owns the company ah??
Seriously if I'm seeking for a job, I'd be more than happy to receive a call, and I'd be really enthusiatic about meeting up. Needless to say, I chucked the resume into the "Rejected" bins. So long! Good luck with finding a job after CNY.. (yep, I can be kinda sarcastic at times...)
Sunday, January 23, 2011
Random thought for the day.. do you realize that sometimes we give ourselves excuses to be lazy?
Few lazy acts that I'm prone to:
- Finishing a drink and leave the can / cup on the table (so that I'll throw it later)
- Torn a plastic to get the mini spoon for my night cream (sooo tempted to leave the plastic on the table again while it just take 2 steps to the bin)
- Leaving the dishes to "soak", wash them later
Haha there I've confessed.
Not proud of these, am gradually changing.
Now fess up! :P

Came across these while reading The Sun, beautiful:
~ You don't pursue happiness. It comes to you when you give it to others.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~When we give happiness to the world, our stock of happiness increases.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~ Happiness is not in things, people or physical comforts, but it is in the mind.

With some basic necessities.
Every year end, I'd be busy looking for organizers. One that I can carry around and scribble whenever thoughts come visiting. I'd prefer bigger ones, but they are a hassle to carry around. And add weight to my bag, which I plan to downsize (bag's weight) this year...
This year I was gifted two, so no need to buy heh. Am really liking this, but at the same time, I'm relying more on my Nokia E71. Its the best investment I've made, and I love it that after 2 years, this baby works just as well :D
So see if I could get rid of those purchases receipts regularly this year, eh?
I do get a lil lazy every now and then with the recording, but I want to track those $$$ I spent..
... each time I come across chocolate milk. Lol.
You love giving me chocolate milk each time its your game day, knowing I'd be lazy to fix myself a proper meal :P
Look at this one.. it came with a limited edition straw!
Ha ha..
