Amazing how the change of a single word, can change the meaning dramatically…

vs

"His bark is worse than any bite."

Bed sweet bed...

It's been a crazily hectic 2 weeks in preparation for Christmas and the event that my forum frens and i all put together for a children's home... Now it's finally over, and there's this surreal feeling - is it really over?

Well, for me - not yet.. cos there's still the budgeting to finalise and pin down so that we can release the figures to the forum.

At work, the same big project is still struggling and still giving me headaches.

All i want for Christmas is my bed, sweet bed... ZZZzzz....
*my eye bags are so dark... sobs...*

Lunchy!

Wahaha... i nearly forgot about this lunch date tt i had w my dear Jac the other day! hehe - for someone very free (or so she says.. hehe..), she is very difficult to meet.. *grinz* But hey, come all the way down to town to meet me leh - who dare to say she bo sim!

Babe, i am so so happy u made it down tt day - cos u really helped me think things thru. Being positive really helped, and realising that different people show their love in different ways - it may not be the way we want, but it their true feelings...

Cheesecake for Christmas? =p Choose ur flavour! hehe...

weird people...

In the toilet one day, i overheard this conversation...
(*names have been changed! hehe...)
Mother: Annie (from outside the toilet)
Daughter: Ya.. (softly, from inside one cubicle)
Mother: Annie! (entering the toilet)
Daughter: Ya.. (a little irritated, a little louder)
Mother: Annie! (in the toilet itself)
Daughter: Ya.. (irritated.)
Mother: Are you in there?
Daughter: *Silence* (too irritated to answer)
In my mind, i'm thinking - Obviously right~ the daughter can't be invisible wat, obviously she is in the cubicle... -__-" Never mind, still got more...
Mother: Use the toilet properly hor, dun dirty the place.
Daughter: Ok. (flushes and exits the cubicle)
Mother: Did you flush?
Wah piang eh...... I think if i'm the daughter, i will go crazy.........

Working hard...

There are some things that we all have learnt before, have read before, which we have forgotten over the years... Let's refresh our memories.. =)

Everyday - one realises - there is so much to learn and re-learn... There is so much we should all be doing to make things better...

What Makes a Healthy Relationship?

(extracted from source...)

Mutual respect. Does he or she get how cool you are and why? (Watch out if the answer to the first part is yes but only because you're acting like someone you're not!) The key is that your BF or GF is into you for who you are — for your great sense of humor, your love of reality TV, etc. Does your partner listen when you say you're not comfortable doing something and then back off right away? Respect in a relationship means that each person values who the other is and understands — and would never challenge — the other person's boundaries.

Trust. You're talking with a guy from French class and your boyfriend walks by. Does he completely lose his cool or keep walking because he knows you'd never cheat on him? It's OK to get a little jealous sometimes — jealousy is a natural emotion. But how a person reacts when feeling jealous is what matters. There's no way you can have a healthy relationship if you don't trust each other.

Honesty. This one goes hand-in-hand with trust because it's tough to trust someone when one of you isn't being honest. Have you ever caught your girlfriend in a major lie? Like she told you that she had to work on Friday night but it turned out she was at the movies with her friends? The next time she says she has to work, you'll have a lot more trouble believing her and the trust will be on shaky ground.

Support. It's not just in bad times that your partner should support you. Some people are great when your whole world is falling apart but can't take being there when things are going right (and vice versa). In a healthy relationship, your significant other is there with a shoulder to cry on when you find out your parents are getting divorced and to celebrate with you when you get the lead in a play.

Fairness/equality. You need to have give-and-take in your relationship, too. Do you take turns choosing which new movie to see? As a couple, do you hang out with your partner's friends as often as you hang out with yours? It's not like you have to keep a running count and make sure things are exactly even, of course. But you'll know if it isn't a pretty fair balance. Things get bad really fast when a relationship turns into a power struggle, with one person fighting to get his or her way all the time.

Separate identities. In a healthy relationship, everyone needs to make compromises. But that doesn't mean you should feel like you're losing out on being yourself. When you started going out, you both had your own lives (families, friends, interests, hobbies, etc.) and that shouldn't change. Neither of you should have to pretend to like something you don't, or give up seeing your friends, or drop out of activities you love. And you also should feel free to keep developing new talents or interests, making new friends, and moving forward.

Good communication. You've probably heard lots of stuff about how men and women don't seem to speak the same language. We all know how many different meanings the little phrase "no, nothing's wrong" can have, depending on who's saying it! But what's important is to ask if you're not sure what he or she means, and speak honestly and openly so that the miscommunication is avoided in the first place. Never keep a feeling bottled up because you're afraid it's not what your BF or GF wants to hear or because you worry about sounding silly. And if you need some time to think something through before you're ready to talk about it, the right person will give you some space to do that if you ask for it.

What's an Unhealthy Relationship?

A relationship is unhealthy when it involves mean, disrespectful, controlling, or abusive behavior. Some people live in homes with parents who fight a lot or abuse each other — emotionally, verbally, or physically. For some people who have grown up around this kind of behavior it can almost seem normal or OK. It's not! Many of us learn from watching and imitating the people close to us. So someone who has lived around violent or disrespectful behavior may not have learned how to treat others with kindness and respect or how to expect the same treatment.

Qualities like kindness and respect are absolute requirements for a healthy relationship....

the Fei-bu-la-si guy... Fed up ah!!!

Fwah!! so so fed-up with this particular vendor of mine. He is a relatively new (already 2 months at least le lor!) sales guy assigned to us - and heard he is the son of one of the firm partners or production head or dunno wat la!

usually he already blur blur, no initiative - then last month there was a big scale print which we decided to let them do. this print lasted over a stretch of 1 month. Revisions in price, revisions in qty etc..

One Thursday, i sent an artwork over telling them to print, and prepare for the brochures collation and all. Friday he told me that he is not feeling well, went back at 6pm+, fine.. His coordinator worked till 8pm+ trying to sort out the whole thing. Guess what... the artwork i sent on Thur - was totally not processed!!! Angry.... Then the following Monday, the coordinator found out that he did NOT purchase the bags for collation! and i muz deliver on Wed!!! So fed up that i sent a mail to him and his boss and the whole wide world telling him to do his work properly!

Then at the end of the whole project - he actually ask me for the prices. HELLO~ last i heard, I am YOUR client!!

Dare to tell me it's very confusing - wah lao eh!

If easy, why for i need you!

Told him to check through the emails and records and get the complete list. Then he give me the pricing last week - i tot ok le wor.. Yesterday i was gonna bill my client - and realised that idiot OVERCHARGE me!!! Darn angry sia... Wasted my afternoon matching the bloody quotations.

Items previously quoted before, no change in specs - suddenly increase price! there are at least 5 datasheets that this happened. And about 3 items they charged even higher then the standard rate card that we have. GGrgggrrrrr....

Everything throw back! Humph!

GGGRROWwwwLLL...

I am so so so very fed up with my **SS -

'Exciting' dinner..

*the okonomiyaki - uhm.. dun try - not nice de.. haha...*

Went to Pasta de Waraku some time when we were craving for Pasta. I chose a seafood pasta while dar took his usual bolognaise, and it was really nice.... till i found a clump of stuff on the bottom of a mussel.


OMG, i was totally horrified - cos the clump of black stringy stuff looks really gross with the pinkish creamy sauce.

The manager was horrified too, when i showed him the plate - and took the whole plate immediately to check it out. Well, it seems that it is seaweed, just that the chef did not check that the stuff is on the back of the shell. Wah.. scared me half to death lo.. @_@

He apologised really profusely, and very sincerely. A little paiseh, to be honest, but i guess at the same time, i am gratified that he really cares.

i didn't want a new plate of pasta cos i was really full, and we later received icecream.. =)

Whee!! a simple softie, but i think it really shows their sincerity! =D

What's more, we got a discount when we were paying the bill; and even got vouchers for our next visit!

As Mark puts it: the service recovery is really excellent!!

...the ace in the hole..

Got some sweet little pressies from dar that day..
We had made a Polo-T each, with the same design.

Dar bought 4 pairs of earrings for me!!

I love this one the most!!! My Ace... wearing it makes me feel a little closer to him.. =>

Yes! It's Natural~!

Catching up with the important people in my life, stood by me when i was at my most 'leong' period in life, never minded a light bulb when we went out.. =) Presenting - my gan ge ge and future sis-in-law - =D

Went for a vegetarian meal the other day at this cafe near Aljunied MRT - Yes Natural.
I love my avocado oat milkshake! I love avocado milkshake, and this version with oat is just as nice! Started drinking it a year ago, and have never looked back. Benefits of avocado are aplenty! haha.. just try google-ing it, and there is even a site dedicated to it..

Lijun ordered the Fu Rong Tofu to share, but it was too nice, we ate it all!! haha, didn't have time to take photos of it..

This is an all vege sushi roll - very nice and crunchy, with a little peanut paste, giving it additional fragrance & sweetness.. MUST try!

For our mains, Kor ordered the pineapple rice, while Lijun ordered the hot and sour noodle soup. For me, always sinful, haha.. i ordered the cheese baked spaghetti - the spaghetti is not overcooked, tasty, and the vegs are well done. A very pleasant surprise... =D
