The day's going pretty well

HAHA!! It was indeed a great start to a happy day!!

Many people said that my hair was nice. 0_O I let it down today because I just cut it yesterday. So it's of a length that's not too lion king-y..HAHAHAH!!

My boss said, "Yes, amanda, you should keep this up."
Then I went, "Huh?" (as usual right?)
Him: Your hair..Like that then layer a bit (I didn't wanna tell him that it was already layered..**Refer below**) You look more professional and people will take you seriously.
Me: Oh, okay..hurhur..

-Silence-

HAHA!!
That's how the conversation ended.

Then later on, I smiled to 2 ladies at work..on my way to the toilet or something.
Then one of them said, "Wah, ni jian tou fa ah?"
Me: Orh, dui lor.
Her: Mei leh!
Me: -smiling- haha! shi mah. wo zhi shi jian tou fa, (okay, i should start translating it into english) I only cut my hair..cos too hot mah..(I didn't disclose the fact that it was also because of too many split ends..haiz..)
Her: Like this prettier!!
Me: Oh! okay.. smiles..
Her: Try colour?
Me: Er..no need la.
Her: Try colour lah!
Me: Er..no need la.
Her: Why don't want colour, not interested?
Me: Er..no la..no need la.

(haiz..very bad case of 'lack of vocab')

Then we started some small talk like "How was work? busy?"
Then the other lady asked me where I lived (cos all 3 of us take the same bus home)
So I was trying hard to recall the route.. cos I'm always sleeping on the bus...or at least in a daze..

Then end of conversation 1.

When I came back, one of the ladies spoke to me again.

Her: Wah! You know a lot of people asking where you cut your hair leh!!
Me: Huh? Orh.. haha..

Amazing right?
I didn't know people noted these things..

As in, I don't have many people coming up to me and talking to me but they are still curious..
Haha..
so interesting..

And it's not like I went to Reds or something..
The haircut cost $22 bucks if you're wondering..
normal lah..

and I was very direct at the hairdresser's..
haha!! i remember telling the lady hairdresser
Translated:
I want side-parting then cut a bit shorter.
HAHA!!! Like ordering like that..so straightforward.. (That's because I went on my own to cut..)
So she asked me, "2 inches?"
Then I looked at my hair..There was like half a minute of silence cos I didn't know how long 2 inches was..HAHAH!!!
Then in the end, I just said, "okay"
Then she continued, "and then layer a bit." **See above**
Me: Erm, okay.

Then she chopped chopped finish the cut within half an hour..
haha!!

AMAZING~

A good start to a happy day

My boss just said my work was 'okay'.
So I'm feeling quite happy.
hehe..

hope the day continues well..

busy and the stomach upset which nearly killed me in my sleep

Haha!!
It's been days since my 'angry' post and the storm has died down..
In fact, it died down many days ago but I've always been too busy and tired to update the blog..

Last night, I had the worst sleep in the longest time ever.
At around 4am in the morning, while I was soundly asleep, I felt this acute pain in my stomach so I woke up to go to the toilet..

Then it started to become more painful and there was no way of stopping it..

I kept having the runs and I could feel my knees go weak..haha!!
It's the worse way to wake up..
HAHA!!

So I quickly popped a Charcoal pill (it wasn't Po Chai pills this time around) and went back to bed.

The whole day went on as a mini detox exercise..

I couldn't sit through the day w/o going to the toilet twice..

I'm recalling the food I have been eating this couple of days and I have a few suspects:

Highest probability of it causing my stomach upset:
1. 'Coffee Lovers' - It's a drink sold at Mr Tea. I was in school on wed night for a meeting and after I drank it, I felt like puking because the Milo powder was too powerful..and the coffee was too intense too.

2. Lunch outside with my boss. (This is less likely because the food really tasted good..haha!)

3. Krispy Kreme doughnuts from Australia. (I think quite unlikely too but my younger brother actually put a cold doughnut into the microwave oven to heat it up.) - dodgy practice.

Oh well, see how things go la.

Work's really busy..
Sigh and there's not enough manpower..
Everyone's missing..

Warning: This is an angry post.

I am very angry now.
I am very angry still.
Taking in deep breaths but I am still angry.

I am very tired.
I know myself well enough to know that when I am tired, my fuse is very short.
My fuse has fused and I am angry.

This occurs because people tend to become very self-centred at times. I'm too tired to bear with this kind of nonsense.
It's just worse when these people are family.

I don't have to put up with this. Simply because no one else does.

If anyone is curious about the reasons for my anger, the gist of it is coming home to find out that your absence is the reason for everyone else's problems.

Never knew I was this important.

Or maybe it's just easier to blame the person who doesn't know what's going on.

VERY VERY VERY ANGRY.

busy busy busy and a person from my past

I guess once you let work consume you, you really have very little time for yourself..

That's why I appreciate the time I spend listening to my iPod as I travel along..

It's when I dream and get lost in my thoughts..
(But I think many other people find it very unfriendly..Sigh)

but getting too caught up with dreams is bad too because you lose touch with reality..

Sian..

Today I saw my Primary school teacher on the bus home!!
She looked a little older from when I last saw her..That was almost 10 years ago btw.. (SOO LONG!!)
I didn't notice her until I was about to leave the bus..
I was listening to my iPod and lost in my thoughts before that..

I don't know if she remembers me or not..but yeah, she was always kinda special..

If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have said: It's been a long time, nice to see you again.
But I wouldn't have the guts to do that..Still, I should at least have smiled or something..

On a side note, I think I'm doing a really bad job at work..
Sigh, demoralised and helpless..

Can't wait for the weekend to come so I can have a break from the mental torture.. I'm not going to avoid it but I need a breather..

So many things, so short my memory span

This weekend has been fruitful!!!

I got my fair share of:

ICE CREAM,
COFFEE,
MOVIE,
BEER,
GOOD FOOD,
CLOTHES,
SOUVENIRS,
LETTERS


HAHA!! So many things right??

I will have to do things chronologically..but I think it will become too long-winded..

Aiyah,I will try my best to keep things short and sweet.

Thursday:
My dad invited a couple of Nihonjins for dinner. Things were not all smooth-sailing because I was reprimanded for being too sloppy with my dress code by my dad..
Nevertheless, I managed to keep smiling through the dinner (and after that as well). The guests were very polite and nice..Kept commenting how my Japanese was very good.. HAHA!!
So we managed to break the ice by speaking in Japanese..
The food was good too!!
-drools-

Saturday:
For some strange reason or probably the fact that I'm just tired, I woke up almost around noon time if I don't remember wrongly.
After lunch and grocery shopping I was all set for a lazy afternoon when my brother announced that he needed the car to play soccer..
The problem was my mum needed to go somewhere too! and she was meeting a Turkish friend for dinner.
So I was dragged to town with my mum to kill time before her appointment and my brother could use the car.
Which I soon found out wasn't a bad thing because GSS this year was actually not CROWDED!!
WHERE HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE GONE???
A: Most prob they are all on holiday.
So I bought myself a new blouse for work!

Muahahaha...then I managed to crash my mum's dinner with her turkish friend and her children..
Drank beer!! ate pizza, pasta, fries, etc!! Sinful!! and unhealthy..
Then we topped the night with NewZealand Icecream..

Sunday:
I went out with my cousin for lunch and movie..
We had some super nice indonesian cuisine and we watched Zodiac..some gory scenes and good acting but poor plot..I guess because it is based on a true story..
Then I topped the outing with Ben & Jerry's..ooh! I think I had coffee cofee, etc etc..the name of the flavour didn't leave an impression but the flavour certainly did!!

Next, dinner was another sin..All deep fried! Fish & Chips!!
There were onion rings, wedges and curly fries!! RAWR!!
I ate until I feel quite queasy now..HAHA!!!

RAWR!!
NENG CHI SHI FU (direct translation: can eat is happy)
A better effort at translation: It is a joy for one to be able to eat.

HAHA!!
I hope your weekend was as good as mine..

An optimistic saying:
What's yours will eventually be yours.

i shouldn't be here

BUT I am..
Sigh, today's the day I work alone..and am STILL working..haha!!

But my bosses aren't around..I would never have the guts to do this if they were here..

I have very little to do today and my phone call was postponed for an hour so here I am..

I am so scared..haha..I'm half-expecting the IT Dept to capture this disallowed act..haha~~
and they will barge up to where I am and pull out the connection or something..

Luckily, today's been rather peaceful except for the fact I got startled when the cleaner auntie came in while I was listening to my iPod and trying to figure out some complicated company policy..

I guess she only saw me listening to my iPod but didn't catch me struggling to come up with a plan for my project..

Bleah..

It's Tuesday and the only things on my mind are dates when the company's deposits are maturing..like !? -_-''

My boss was rather nice.he told me to finish my work chop-chop then leave the office early..BUT the problem is I take the bus home anyway..so I still have to wait till 5.30pm..

sigh..today's been rather unproductive but I think unproductive is better than destructive...
hah!

It's really weird to be alone in the office...but it's comfortable...
like I can walk about and snooze because lunch was too filling..HAHA!!

On usual days, I pinch myself to stay awake (so I have this bruise on my thigh..haha) but today I completely KO-ed..only for short but multiple periods.. haha!!

I can't wait to have my cheesecake and coffee!!! RAWR!!
The last time I had a cheesecake was with the Jap girls I think...We would always go for the secret recipe or Cartel ones...

My, now that is really quite some time ago.. The girls have left for Australia and Japan for almost 2-3 months!! I need my cake and brownies..
