OK!
so i think i will definitely put on a certain amount of weight
now that i’m attached.
being happy n warm n fuzzy, which improves appetite is one thing.
being a little more occupied after work, thus less time for gym is another.
being dating n stuff, going out for dinners is something also…

so people, pls do me a favor,
and slap e food out of my hands if u ever caught me
with them out of meal times.
tt includes u M.
if u ever got to read this.

had a shitty shoot today…
had to do some fking yoga pose
and i was supposed to do some rocking motions
some moans and groans…
WALAN! how to sial!
with a camera and all my colleagues watching me?!
KNN! can die sial!
HARRY PANTAT!!! BURN IN HELL! >:@

but i felt bad i held up their time
and couldn’t perform.
the yoga pose wasn’t the hard part.
but the moaning and groaning and the frigging expression
macam like i was in ecstasy or something…
WTF WTF WTF!?
I jus couldn’t do it. oh man…

BOOHOO! will try to make do…

did henna tattoo all over both of my hands for a shoot…
now i look like i got diseased hands…
little bit can la, but something too intricate n complicated quite yucky…
oh well…

just heard of the 1st SARS case since “long time” ago…
more worried than b4… cos it’ll affect e market…
and it’ll affect Mr M…
just wish he’ll pull thru another shit crisis la…

okie… another long day tomorrow…
gotta koonz!

After more than 3 weeks,
they tell me I am now ACTING trailer producer for 3 mths…
after which there’ll be a review,
so as to see how much my pay shld be increased.
This is embarrassing man…
Haiz…
So for these 3 mths I gotta endure,
sleep well on weekends, must maintain my sanity n youth…
And be extra siao-on about doing graphics
and going out of my way to impress…
No boot-licking I will do, I’m never gonna do tt… >:P
So jus hard-core work… :[

Harry Ass commented tt my skin lately is quite bad,
yes of course,
considering I’ve been working 12 hrs or more per day
for the past 2 weeks or so.
Plus PMS wrecking havoc, plus the stress n pressure…
Plus the clubbing… Drinking…
Ahz I need to sleep… ZZZZZZzzz
Nitez…

A line in the e-invite says
“Lots of boohoos and booze…” etc etc.

I thought I wouldn’t be affected by the mood.
But well when all the girls start crumbling,
and they keep playing the video that Danny edited, over and over again…
It’s hard not to join them to mourn about this whole thing.

To many, it’s just a job,
but to alot of us, it’s something like a 2nd home to us.
You know the thing about homes,
we complain about the people and the things happening in there,
but in the end, we still go back to it…

I could have jolly well left for another company,
but something that held me back all these years is the bond of the colleagues.
Even though many of them left,
but I still remember those days when everyone knows everyone,
and everyone helped everyone.
Things got a little different later on,
with the inevitable politics and disappointment with the management…
The new colleagues from my own Promo team, MBG and drama crew,
seemed to be a little unable to mix into our initial “passion”.
But especially in our department, we are still like one big family.
The people missing from last night : Michelle, Weng, Qwen, Joanna…

We share things that happen in our lives, our loves and hates, our gripes,
and tolerate each other’s mood swings,
the nonsense that people like Seng Wah and Fong cook up,
we go shopping together, even out of office hours…
It’s not just a colleague-colleague relationship anymore.
We are friends.

Like the fag haggy friendship I have with Assholepup,
the things I told Jeff and Cheryl about,
when I was facing some trouble with my current relationship earlier on…
The sisterly bond I had with Hweekooooon,
the shopping and skincare talk with Haha,
Anna’s help with ultra fast trailers when I couldn’t catch up with my schedule,
Seng Wah’s guidance and encouragement in matters of my career,
me poking fun at Alain’s nit-picking and vice versa,
Danny and his out-of-the-world corniness,
Kenny’s way of saying hi is to ruffle my hair and call me “YO LT!”,
Terris and our lim jiu talk,
the inspiration Muiling gave when it comes to working out and eating light,
Dez’s accomodating ways when it comes to allocating schedules,
Fongkee’s nonsense is legendary,
even Soo Ping and her blurness…

Even as I sometimes express extreme reaction when Fongkee is near,
but last night we still took a photo together,
with the others poking fun at us (as usual)…
The very original two APs from On Air Promo came a long way…
From setting up the trailer data entry system, tape stock,
the multiple templates and protocols we agreed upon with the other departments,
dealing with his messiness and irritatingness,
staying till dark everyday to finish keying the trailers,
checking for errors in the trailers,
coordinating all the last minute shoots,
sending entries for the Promax awards a few times in a year,
dealing with my grouchiness,
teaching new temp APs our way of working once every few months…

That’s alot of things that we’ve accomplished.
But I guess all things come to an end somehow.

To this family that I have lived with ever since I graduated,
I wish you all luck and happiness.
We’ll see each other again.
It’s a small world, isn’t it?

There are people heaving sighs of relief here…
And people skeptical of the future over there…
People heedless of where to go from here…
And people preparing for us to invade their space over there…

Tonight there will be a farewell party at Hilton,
and Danny has edited a video that will cover the work that SPH Mediaworks has produced for the past few years…
Of course, it is done with Paul’s instructions to slot Mr Man’s shots in “every now and then”…
We clearly know he is trying to claim credit as well as por some balls.

Just seen the video, and realised all of us has been part of the history of this
the company that will cease to exist as of 1st Jan 2005…
Quite reluctant to part with this place that I have been griping about,
the place that I have been trying to leave, but didn’t…

And I guess it’s also fate that I am also shifting to Yishun this year end.
Easier to go to Caldecott Hill from there actually…
Oh well…

I am proud to have been part of the history…
And now to move on.
Haiz.

*Salute*

I have succumbed to my ultimate gadgety lust.
The iPod is mineeeeeee!!!
I just got it on Monday 7/12/2004 (The retrenchment thing was 8/12/2004)…
Something to perk my mood up for sure

Hail Jeffweeeeeeeee!!!!!!
The one who got for me the unbeatable price of $627 for a 40gb model ;p
The lady at NUS gave us the wrong 20gb model,
and gave a student MY 40gb model… Luckily I got check ahhhh!!!
After waiting and pining, finally my baby is now resting in my hands!

I demanded to pay half of it,
because I don’t want him to spend 600 over bucks on my Xmas pressie la…
I am a nice gf ok!

Have placed an order for 2 iPod rubber skins from www.xskn.com,
one in the color of LaRouge, and one Indigo…
Can’t wait for it to arrive!!! ~_~

For those who owns a 4th generation iPod,
I would actually recommend the eXo3 model to you guys.
It’s only 0.7mm thick… ~~~
Seen the actual thing at the Apple Centre,
but they only brought in the 20gb model! WTH!

Anyway to Jeffwee… THANKS! :D:D

Well the axe is down…
Anna will not be with us starting 1 Jan.
Terris will be at Weng’s department.
Jeff will be posted to be AP at P8.
Kenny will start out on his new career elsewhere.
Sebastian will finally bid adieu to Ganesh,
and move on to another arena.
Pauline and Patrick will slowly find new jobs…

I guess this is goodbye for everyone now.

I feel sorry for the girls like Meiqin, Jacq, Cassandra,
who worked so hard to get promoted to Producer during these few years…
Only to be sent back to Square One, as being AP once more…

Haiz. We are all pawns. And always will be, perhaps.

OMG OMG OMG
Going over to his house to “sample” his mama’s cooking tonight.
Pray for me!
Pray that I don’t gabrah and make a fool outta myself!!
Pray that I appear kawaii and sweet and oh-so-wonderful!!!
OMG OMG OMG

Recently Mr O aka Jeffwee and me are smitten with the
Rochor Tau Huay at Geylang Lorong 37.
So much smoother, so much nicer,
and so much more parking and so less complicated than Yong He at Lorong 9…
Plus the next store is the very nice pig soup…
Less fattening than beef whore fun anytime ;p
Gonna get really phat, but I’m happy!

And yes, they are finally officially announcing THE LIST on next Tuesday…
Pray that I get retrenched ok?
I’ll get around 9 months pay… WOOHOO!
If not, I’ll slog for a while in Mediacock. =(

On a good note,
I heard I should be getting the object of my desire for Xmas this year…
*giggles*
Desired it for 3 years, no less.
I guess I will be ecstatic once I hold one of my own in my hands.
I hope I won’t tremble and drop it. *ouch*

So Jeffwee? Ehem ehem ehemmm…?

“Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness HE is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness HE is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I’m calling out to you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

And you may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness HE is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning”

~ Sunday Morning by Maroon 5

I’m sorry to have hurt you with my insensitivity.
(Usually it’s the case with men, but for us, it’s the other way round…)
I’m sorry to have said things that reflects my carelessness with your feelings.
I’m sorry, but you know I don’t mean all those stupid things,
except to be so hopelessly in love.
If it’s stupid at all.

Had a nice dream of travelling last night.
I am again, roaming somewhere in the UK, by myself.

Didn’t me and him just decide on the Aussie trip next year if all goes well?
Time to add him into my travelling dreams

As for the S&S pressie saga,
will get her a display thingamajig for her home.
We broke people can’t get a sofa bah… SOWWEE!!
