P is also for Preparation and other Weird things
Mich is applying for a new job.She's got into the 3rd round already...which is great news.
I guess she deserves to get so far because of the amount of preparation she puts in for the interview.
Applying for a Marketing position, she actually went all the way to Queensway to look at the shopfront displays asnd is planning to go try on all the clothes for sale at the brand and the brands' competitors.
I don't quite know what to make of it.
I ONLY surf the company's website. Half-heartedly, of course.
I'd like to attribute such actions to sudden bouts of insanity...but i can't. BECAUSE THIS DAMN TECHNIQUE WORKS!!!
She did the same for her current job and got it!
Bah.
Anyway, moving on...guess what I saw on the MRT today??
This guy had all his fingers, save his index, stuffed inside a black bag. Throughout the trip, he was busy tracing some character out with his index finger.
Due to the size of his finger (it's damn fat), and the constant wiggling, it looked so obscene that i had to take a picture of it.
Ok, make that 2 pictures.
Anyway, anybody knows what he was trying to do? Like is he trying to pray or something?
Next...
Did you know that animals can actually be gay?
It's backed by scientific research lei.
So, please...stop picking on all the gay people. They can't help their sexual orientation..though they can stop kissing and acting in the most obsentious fashion in public.
Actually, i wonder why gay people behave the way they do. Sexual orientation is one thing, but homosexuals by and large tend to be larger than life. They talk louder, dress brighter and are bitchier than normal people. Can't be that these characteristcs are hard-wired into their brains as well right?
I mean, i think someone should just tell some of the overzealous gay folk out there that they are just gay, not low-class.

The case of a VERY bad dinner
Finally met up with Serene and XR yday for dinner and catch up.Conclusion?
I HATE XR's gf.
And this time, I have backup; Serene agrees with me.
Anyway, I don't like her because she is an absolute SLUT. Slut because she:
1. 90% of contacts in her phonebook are male, of which, 80% are prospective suitors/people trying to get into her pants (read: chee hong kias)
2. Goes on paid holidays at least twice a month.
3. Works for a male friend and gets paid for going to work late(average 2pm) and knocking off at 7pm and basically doing nothing.
4. Kissed 2 of her ex-bfs to ascertain if she really liked her bf aka my friend.
Don't ask me what kind of stupid logic this is.
5. Wears low cut tops and high slitted skirts, blows air kisses and speaks with a pseudo American accent which lapses whenever she gets excited. She is also extremely touchy feely.
6. Is seriously considering taking up a job as a PA (answer a few calls, sit and look pretty and get paid 2K for doing next to nothing) based in China for a "friend".
7. Her life ambition is really to be a tai tai. Nothing else.
In short, she gives women a bad bad BAD name. So bad that I wanna hurl, slap her left, right center and pull out all her hair.
I cannot understand why some girls can stoop so low. Such a pathetic lack of dignity.
It's like she'd crawl on all fours and lick your muddly toes if you'd pay her.
She thinks she's playing the men when she is really the one being played.
Stupid.
My friend is also stupid. For picking such a disgusting wanton specimen of a woman and for tolerating her ridiculous promiscious behavior.
I mean, what if she has *gasp* AIDS?!!!
C'mon, you can't go on all expenses paid holidays for nothing you know. And you don't get paid 2k just to answer phonecalls either.
Yuck, yuck and double YUCK.
I just hope my friend isn't more stupid than I think he is and catches something from her.
Can someone hand me a "xiao ren" so I can go hit it please?

my new hero
Hahaha.
Okay, so my Home Theatre system is giving me problems..I suspect i jinx all my electronic appliances, but that's another story.
Anyway, the system has been acting up so I decided to call the folks at LG today.
The service is fantastic!
Initially, i had my doubts because I had to call the service hotline to get help. And we ALL know how it sucks to directed to an automated voice system and be put on hold for hours.
Well, I was wrong. I managed to get myself directed to an operator in 3mins.
3 minutes LEH!
I am so impressed. And am also doubly convinced that Singtel is really demon spawn.
Anyway, the people are LG are coming to my house to look and fix my system! So happy. And there I was, wondering how on early to carry 4 speakers, 1 sub woofer and the main system to the repair centre.
Why can't computer companies do the same?
D'you know I had to trek all the way to Alexander to get my HP laptop fixed the last time?
Anyway, LG is my new hero. :D

Life in my office just got better.
Yahoo!My office pantry has just been restocked.
No real point to this entry...just wanted to share my joy!
And tell the world that I LOVE Margaret...
And Lays potato chips. And Pocky biscuits in strawberry, pizza, yogurt and donno what other flavour. And Twisties. And Quacker Oatmeal bars. And Uncle Toby's. And Coco Crunch. And Honey Stars. And I think i better not say anymore else you guys won't sympathize with me when I say i need to OT.
Anyway, just for kicks...
Here's the unofficial spokesperson for Lays chips in our company.
heeehee.
I love my pantry. :)

picket fences and laser beams
Okay!My appt has been made and my leave has been approved.
This Tuesday, I will be going to perm my hair.
I need something drastic.
Something not boring.
Something that screams "New Year, New Me!"
Something that will show the world that I am ME, and not just jp's gf.
Bah. JP's girlfriend. How bland.
Not that I am complaining about being his gf. Don't get me wrong. I love being his gf. wahahaha. Shameless?
Whatever.
The problem of being attached is that once you have a SO, an invisible barrier immediately goes up around you. The last time i checked, the barrier around me reached Jupiter and was still in the process of extending itself toward Pluto.
If you are introduced to your SO's friends, they will still somehow keep a distance from you. I don't know, maybe jp's guy friends are afraid jp will turn into this fire-breathing, tyrannical, crazy dragon or something. The girls are reserved...and may I say, judgemental.
Well, at least i am, when i meet my good friends' gfs.
I'll be like thinking "Urgh. Not pretty enough" or "Ack. Uncouth" or "OMG!! Wannabe alert!". Something along those lines.
Not that I can help it, you know. I guess it's a girl thing.
I've yet to find a way of breaking down this invisible barrier that is erected around me by others. I'm quite ok with a picket fence, just not something that spans across planets!
Sigh.
Hopefully, my new hairdo will do the trick.
Yea, wishful thinking. I know.

A false case of sour grapes
Is it possible to find the following jobs?Position: Sales, in charge of Taiwan and China mkts
Pay: S$2.9 K excluding commission
Perks: Sent to San Fransico for 2 weeks sales training + jetabout lifestyle
Or
Position: Recruitment Consultant for Foreign Talent
Pay: S$4k+
Perks: Start work at 11am, knock off at 6pm. Interview no more than 10 people per day and write a couple of reports. Able to play games all day and surf frivolous sites in front of boss with no repercussions.
But you know what? I know people who actually have these jobs.
Only problem, I think their company is involved in money laundering. Else, it works against all business principles to pay staff like that.
Envious? Yeah, somewhat.
Yet at the same time, I can't help but think that these people brains are slowly turning into mush.
Mush for a brain in exchange for oodles of dough.
Would you?

Bitchy Vegetables
I'm kinda sad...because I don't dance much at union these days. Yes, yes..i'm flogging a dead horse...but it's boring to stand around watching other people work their feet all the time.In all honesty, i really doubt it's this blog that's causing all the trouble. Afterall, i am sure ppl who read this blog are smart enough to discern fact from fiction, reality from make-believe.
But I guess, sometimes, it's really all just about perception.
If people perceive you to be friendly, then even if you are harbouring 1 million knives inside, they'll still want to be your friend. Not that I am saying anyone i know is harbouring knives lah!
Maybe some people really genuinely care about what the other person ate for lunch 3 weeks ago, or the exact shade of brown of his/her hair or if his/er boss was actually 1/4 asshole 1/4 moron and 1/2 goondu versus 100% asshole this morning.
But that's kinda hard to believe, isn't it?
Besides, I doubt you'd be enticed to read this blog if i just wrote about the different types of vegetables I have for lunch everyday.
Anyway, guess what? Take a look at this!!!
I can't believe it. I was doing a search for pictures of vegetables (need inspiration ma, to draw the veggies above) when I stumbled upon MY OWN BLOG.
Great.
Go and try lor. Just type "vegetables, cai xim" or "cai xim" and you'll see.
Freaking embarassing man.

P is for Pretend
“many of you are very bored with your childhood, so you rush to grow up, and then when you grow up, you long to be children again. You lose your health to get more money and then lose your money to restore your health. You think anxiously about the future but forget the present. And so you live neither in the present nor in the future. You live as though you will never die and die as though you have never lived.”
So i pity those who pretend to cool, smart, cute, beng, lian, atas, blah blah blah. Wannabes, in short.
I especially pity those who have pretended so long that they have forgotten that they are pretending.
It's really painful to watch such individuals waltz around with false bravado. Sometimes, I just want to gorge my eyes out.
I guess it would be okay if I didn't know there were pretending. Problem is that I can tell that they are just acting out a stupid persona and I, myself, have to pretend that I don't know that they are just pretending.
Bah. Fucking waste of time if you ask me.
Why can't these people just grow up?

The Salsa Stragglers
Yday was my 2nd R3 class and i think it was quite difficult.Because there were more ladies than guys in the class, I occasionally had the chance to watch my classmates do their thing.
My observation is that there are some people who just can't make it.
I don't really think it is due to a lack of effort...but rather an innate inability to get the hang of the dance. It's like their body is working against them or something! Maybe the move is too complicated.
I donno..but at this point, I think it will be rather difficult for such individuals to progress.
Most of our counterparts are currently at intermediate level, some moving onto advance. Majority of the people now have no problems identifying beat, no problems landing on the correct foot and no real problems in terms of turning and following/leading.
Most will be more interested in perfecting their turns, their styling, their musicality and their lead rather than still spending time trying to figure out how to do a turn or how to lead a girl.
Not that I am trying to be mean, but tt's like 2 ends of the spectrum, you know.
I was dancing with this guy and we were trying to execute the La Jenny command. There's this part of the move where the girl and guy face each other, rest their hand on each others' shoulder and walk in a circle.
The silly guy i was dancing was like pressing his hand down on my shoulder with all his weight. It took all MY strength to stand upright and not let my knees buckle.
OMG.
It was one of the worst and most confusing experiences ever.
Don't believe me? You go and try lah! And make sure u get a bigger person than yourself to push you down while you try to walk.
These people should really go and do some refreshers or at the very least, practice their basics before they come and attempt something complicated. Least they would be more aware of their body, and have more control over what they are doing rather than anyhow whack.
It's not that I'm not giving these people a chance - everyone needs to start somewhere - but it's so weird/terrible that these people do not realize their own limitations. It's like a S-League footballer trying to score a goal when the goalkeeper is from Arsenal.
And because these people do not practice with people of their own league and want to practice with others of higher level, they simply do not get to practice!!!
Which is very unfortunate because they will improve at a snails' pace and risk killing people in their path in the process.
I would love to help these people out by dancing with them...but they keep trying to do complicated advanced moves which are way out and over their head. Which makes it dangerous to dance with them.
And how the hell am I supposed to say "Hey, your body coordination sucks. Pls work on something simpler for now before trying out that nifty pattern."? I'd probably get slapped.
I do not think i am a fantastic dancer. I do not even think i am a good dancer. But I do know that I am a dancer who tries to improve her dancing all the time. It's not difficult; one just needs to be conscious of what one is doing and to correct bad habits when they are told to you.
I just wish others would try to do the same so that Union will be a more pleasant and safer place to dance. I have already sustained 2 dead toes (yes, the other one has died as well) and a million bruises thanks to thoughtless and careless dancing so I think I am in a good position to talk.
And trust me. I speak for the people who think the same but do not say it out majority.

The attack of the fat squad and hydrocephaloids
Or rather, which is the worst spot on your body to be the problem area; area which gets hit first by the fat squad.
I was in the train today (yea, the trains are filled with weird and funny people) and I saw this girl. Now, there's nothing wrong with this girl really.
It was just that she was wearing these really hip clothes (hip meaning clothes worn by 16-18 yr olds), had neon pink talons (her nails were like 1 inch long lor!!!), tight tight tight jeans, relatively cool pointed canvas shoes and expensive looking accessories. She looked like she popped out from the school of design but whatever.
Anyway, the whole point is...you can only get away with the above outfit if you are skinny. You can't even be slim; you need to be anorexic i.e. Avril Lavigne. I just thought she looked kinda FAT, until I took a closer look.
*BTW, I am not anorexic.
She was skinny. Every part of her was thin except her face.
It was terrible!!!
To top it off, I think she has a naturally big head.
Big head + fat face + skinny body = extra large head
It was really sad because all that dieting must have gone to waste.
And while you can hide fat arms, fat butts ,fat thighs and fat tummies, how the hell do you hide a fat face???
She has my deepest condolences.
But on the bright side, having a large head does have its benefits. You just can't have a fat face to go along with it, that's all.
Fortunately, very few people have their face as their problem area. So far, I have only seen 2.
So, please...give your favourite sore spot a nice pat and say "Thank you for not landing on my face" now.

Happiness in a box on Monday
Whaddya know...happiness came in the form of 4 boxes this morning.Finally, my Anna Sui stash has arrived.
I LOVE Irene. Thank you!
See see!!!
I guess Monday mornings can be pleasant afterall.

Moving on, I think i am definitely screwed. The stupid counter is jumping faster than I imagine.
Okay, time to own up. WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!!!
hahahahah. Drop me a comment or something!!
Just so i know you people are not Salsa people and so I can prove to jp that his logic is definitely wrong!
*cross fingers and prays that jp's logic is wrong*

And finally, trivia for the day...
Guess what stays in the drains and canals of Singapore?

Dawn has a radar, I OWN a satellite
I have not been quite so excited in a while.I was literally bouncing off my office chair.
I guess sometimes, people need more than just a push in the correct direction.
I don't think I need to spell it out for you...you can put two and two together.
To the question posed in the comic above, the answer is YES. :D
And while Dawn's radar is down and out for repair, my satellite reception is good enough for the both of us for now. :D
Go figure!

me and my blog
To cut a long story short, he concluded that my blog is not a "friendly" blog and through some kind of warped logic, correlated the bitchiness of my blog to the number of people who ask me to dance at Union.
More bitchy = less number of people asking me to dance
Crap.
According to jp, because I am mean on my blog (i.e. posting pics of ppl putting makeup on mrt, criticizing stuff/people, etc.), people will be intimidated by the fact that I MAY talk about them on my blog and hence not want to dance with me.
What, going by this logic, very soon...NOBODY will want to talk to me lor!
Since I do not blatantly advertise my blog address, nor am I linked from that many of my friends' blogs, I do not think that people in general read my blog.
Well, at least I hope nobody bothers to click on the intriguing link on Johnny blog that leads to mine.
Anyway, just for kicks, I've added a hit counter. You can find it on the last bit of the left navigation.
So, let's see how it goes lah. But on all counts, even if the bloody thing sky rockets (which I doubt it will), this blog will remain as it is.
A mean one. :P

Salsa, me and 2007
I was happily dancing salsa at Union this year. :D
2006 has been a really great year for me.
I picked up salsa and go to know a big bunch of v nice people. More importantly, i met jp. :D
Anyway, it's really strange how an activity can really change your life. I can't imagine how I used to spend all my time just watching movies, clubbing, shopping and drinking coffee day in and out.
I hope I can join a salsa competition this year. Provided Mr you-know-who agrees to join with me lah.
So inspired lei, by Mr Virgin and Karen.
Sigh. I also waaaaannnnnnnnntttttt!!!!
Ok, everybody..help me psycho him okay?!
:P
Okay, so this is out of point... but I just wanted to put this picture up because I think it is so cute!!
I love my zz. So does jp. :)
