My weekend ~ 5-6 June 2010

I planned to work on my global release yesterday. I didn’t.

I planned to work on my global release today. I didn’t.

I’m supposed to do some research and prepare myself for the interview. I didn’t.

I’m supposed to tell the headhunter I am not free to meet him at 5 pm tomorrow. I didn’t.

I thought I would be freaking out by now. I didn’t.

I surprised myself with the thought that things will eventually work out.

Somehow. Some way. I hope.

But who am I trying to kid?

###

I think having twins are are lot of trouble.

I do not really know how to handle two at the same time.

Especially with one being more chatty and having a glib tongue,

While the other is more reserved and do things step by step.

I find myself preferring the latter. Even if he appears to be comparatively slower in learning.

And I start to wonder if their parents show favouritism.

Three consecutive tuition lessons on a Sunday

From 9.30 am to 3.30 pm straight

Without breakfast and lunch

Is tiring.

###

I felt bad having to leave the group early, just when the party started.

But I know I would make the same decision, if it happens again.

I’m glad he swung by to pick me up & bring me to enjoy both our indulgence.

I know I would much prefer and enjoy quieter time with him,

Than to act enthusiastic and drowning in beer at the party.

###

I do not really like to hang around too much with my colleagues after work these days.

I’ve seen them for 5 days, minimally 40 hrs each week.

That’s more than enough.

That is why I am now not usually keen anymore

When colleagues asked to go party together after work on Fridays,

Or even meet on Saturdays.

Get your own life. Give your other friends a little of your time too.

Junie babe's wedding at The Marina Bay Sands
She looked ravishing in her first white gown. 

I got dumped.

Literally.

I got dumped along West Coast Highway. Just outside the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre.

At about 6 pm. Today.

All I saw were trucks and cars wheezing past, with no cabs in sight.

Alright, there was a bus stop, but God knew when they would actually arrive.

Grumbled to myself how he could really abandon me here, even after I tried to offer to follow him to the workshop.

That is, if his car could last all the way to wherever that workshop was. 

Granted. He called to check if I managed to hop into a cab a few minutes after.

But still.

Wondered why I allowed him to make the decision for me, and agreed to let him send me back.

Only to get dumped. With a mixture of feelings.

More of worry, rounding that up with the feeling of being forsaken.

La la la...

Taking a step at a time
walking hand in hand
1  2  3  4
cheek to cheek...

And that learning how to do that dance
Let this love be forever...

I wish for this...
to be true for you and me...

世界太复杂 你说单纯很难
我当然都明白。。。

只有你能了解
我要的梦（世界）其实并不大

我哭的，疯的，伤的，
在你面前哭得最惨。

Snippets - May 2010

I don’t know if it is an age thingie or what – but these days, I have several guy friends and even acquaintances telling me point blank straight in the face that I am a very attractive lady.

Wah.

I actually thought it was a bit too much of a compliment to receive recently.  I may get super air-headed.  Hah. 

Maybe, now that we are older and more comfortable with who we are, we tend to just say things upfront.

Anyway, I’ve also learnt to just smile and thank them, and quickly move on to other topics.

Yes, I admit it definitely brightens up your day to receive such compliments, particularly from guys; but I guess, unless the person(s) matter(s) to me, such compliments honestly have little effect on me.

That’s cos I know I am attractive in my own way. In fact, everyone is.

And as cliché as it sounds, I still think beauty comes from within and coupled that with confidence nd total comfy with who you are (and that includes knowing and admitting to your own flaws), you will be attractive.

But, don't be stingy and keep the compliments coming! (hah. see? told you i might just get super bimbotic...)

Received a call from a headhunter last Friday. And he hoped to be able to receive my CV by Sunday so that he can expedite the entire thing…

Which is good. I have always wanted to update my CV for the longest time anyway, but never really got around doing it.  And it's not professional if I already agreed to the deadline and come up with excuses later...

And so, I "forced" myself to do it, amid my zzz-ness.

But come to think of it, I wonder how much faith I can place in this guy. In fact, he kinda got scolded by me because he actually called my office line and asked if I could talk.

Too bad, he caught me at a bad time, and I thought he could exercise more common sense into his job. Even if I was available to talk at that time, how was I able to discuss such things with him on the office line? Even if they have to call during office hours, all other headhunters who previously got in touch with me called me on my mobile.

Which makes me wonder – how did all these headhunters get my contact, when I did not put myself out there in the market? I always tried to ask, but of course, all of them just replied me with a “”well, we got our ways. That’s how headhunting works.”

What the…

Anyway, just finished updating my CV. Still not to my own standard of perfection. But I’m feeling too tired… I’ll just send this out and see how it goes first bah…

I really love this shot with Bloss! @ Udders, Goldhill Plaza

Vernice's birthday cele @ Pontini, Grand Copthorne Waterfront

Stella's birthday cele @ The French Kitchen

How much would you spend on your buddies' birthday pressies?

Someone is buying his buddy for the longest time a netbook, and then ask me if I wan to share with him.

While I do not mind sharing or chipping in 10-20 percent, since I know his buddy too; I just wonder:

1) That person is his buddy.  I am not very close to his buddy.  So why are you asking me to share a pressie with you? 

2) If you say a netbook is really cheap, it's not.  But if you say it is really expensive, it is also not.  But a decent netbook should cost about a couple of hundreds, I guess?  Would you spend a couple of hundreds on your buddy for the longest time?

Thinking back, I think the most expensive pressies me and my buddies exchange were only about $100?

We would not twitch if you ask us to spend a couple of hundreds on our boyfriends or hubbies; but when it comes to our own jie-mei's birthdays, somehow, we will cap it at $100 the most, and then keep lamenting "very broke, very broke this month..." 

And so, when I heard about him buying his buddy a netbook, I was like - wah..  It also makes me wonder about myself and my own friends... Why huh?

Yes.. wah.. I'm jealous. 

Because to gals, we buy gifts for guys based on monetary value.  So, the more expensive a gift is, the more it goes to show you are important to her. 

But this said, this also depends on how much that girl can afford in the first place.  S$90 might mean peanuts to you, but it might mean a lot to the girl...

Then again, true friendship can't be measured in terms of monetary value - I know.  It's about being there for each other emotionally, physically, mentally, whatever -lly you have...

Actually, I also dunno what I am blabbering about.  Suddenly, I find this whole article dun make sense and the thoughts dun flow...

Think I better go zzz soon.
