i went to the estee sale today... we reached quite early and we are the first ten in the queue... the weather was hot... it was an eye opener for me... i realise spore gals are filthy rich... everyone goes in with small bags and comes out with big bags... when it is time for us to go in... everyone was so excited and started to scream haha... everyone rushed into the room as if they know what they are going to sell... i felt quite lost intially cos i dunnoe where to start... some of the brand like PX i dont even know the brand exist... i am like a frog in the well haha... after several rounds of walking and browsing.. i decided to buy clinque products... deep cleasin mask, powder and some skin care pdts...
after that i went up to the estee counter to look for pauline as my cousin reserved a few products for my mum that i need to pick it up from her... at first she ignored me... then she is very unfriendly towards to me... i was quited pissed off by her attitude and i just grabbed my things and walked off.. without saying any thank you... hia hia hia!
i realise merelly all the staffs got attidude problems... i saw a lady holding to an empty and at the same on the phone talking to her fren what she wants to buy... the staff shouted to her "hey, just take all lar... " in a very sarcartic way... the most funny part is that the lady din even bother to response to her...
sometimes i wonder... are the items that are on sale good? why are the items on sale? is it bcos the products are going to expire soon and they have to clear stocks? or is it that they are not sellable products and they have to resort to clear their stocks by selling them at a very cheap price.... if this is so, why are we still buying them? singaporeans have the tendancy to buy cheap things that they dont need it all... they buy cos it is cheap... and sometimes i admit i do fall into their trap.. heehee!

in the morning i received a call from my boss (jessie), she wants to see my colleague (tony, the oldest colleague in our team) in the evening.... i knew what is going on but i did not disclose to tony... he emailed jessie but dint manage to get the answer he wants... he became very quiet and kept asking me to give him things to do as he felt that he might not have the chance to do it again... he knew that jessie is going to ask him to leave... it is kind of sad... he told me he is old and sooner or later jessie will ask him to leave... seriously i feel that he is not a bad guy afterall... he just lack of "ren yuan" and he dont look pleasant... i dont know why everyone hate him so much... perhaps i have a more tolerance level than anyone else.. :)

it was a bad day for me....
i lost a subscrition form.. and i was only told at 4pm (the cutoff time for subscription) that the form has gone missing... i nearly freak out... i quickly reprint another for my colleague but this is not the end of the story... my colleague got problem authorising the deal.. there isnt sufficent funds in the account for the cm to subscribe the unit trust.. and the banker insisted that the funds are already in and, due to system constraints it will not reflect in the system today... so instead of debiting the funds from cm's account i have to take it from the bank's reference account... the authoriser wasnt sure if we could debit from the bank's ref acc without any sources... and insisted that this is not the proper procedure to do it... sweat kept rolling down my back... she kept staring at me and it gives me pressure... no matter what i need to put this deal through as it will affect the banker's sales goal for this month... i felt that she should be the one checking out what is the proper procedure as she is the authoriser AND i am just an inputer... she should know all the dos and donts.. why is she staring at me as if i know everything... end up the banker intiated to call up and find out the correct procedure.. true enough the banker was right... by then it was already past the cutoff time 4pm... in the end we have to seek for deviation and re do the subscription again... the banker was displeased as she think this could have been resolved eariler if the form was not misplaced... the strange thing is i cant find the form... it just went missing without a trace... tough luck!
i thought i can jus rest for awhile after so much commotion... BUT! as i was flipping through my documents... i realise i made a terrible mistake... the story goes like this...
the cutoff time for cheque clearance is 3pm... and i was asked to open an account and establish 2 time deposits at 2.50pm... i only have 10 mins to do it.... as i am in rush, i think did not check the forms properly and go ahead and opened a sole account whereby it is suppose to be a joint and/or account. i manage to find out myself only after everything was cleared...at that point of time it was already 4plus... i drafted an email and apologise to many people (banker, banker's boss) for all the inconveience i may have caused to keep them in the look.. i want them to know there is such case and i am trying to retifying the problem dont wish to see my boss coming after me.... as there will be a statement stating time deposit was opened under a sole account hence the banker need to explained to the cm...the cm was receptive and acccept the fact that they have to ignore the wrong statement and not kick a fuss out of it... i kept walking in and out of the office seeking for help... luckily i manage to find out a solution... all i need to do is to seek deviation to reverse the time deposits, closed the sole account and opened joint and/or and established the time deposit again... luckily the process is reversible...

later at night i went to loreal sale with emma... and i am suppose to join my colleagues for a drink at chjmes after that but i did not... i was just too exhasuted... it was a hectic day for me...

*i am still wondering how can the subscription form gone missing!!!*

the univited guest is here again....
on my way back home from market, i met the uncle... the uncle i mentioned before in my previous blog... we took the same lift... and he offered help to press 17 storey for me... in the lift he started asking me questions... " ur dad at home playing mj?" i grinned and i nodded my head... i jus cant be bothered to answer his question... finally the lift reached 17... guess what... the uncle followed me home...he said that he want to talk to my dad..i was quite pissed! i opened the door and let him in... in my heart i was thinkin "please get out!" but as a form of respect, i did not show it out...

what is life? at times i would pause and start to think why do we exist in this world...
it is kind of sad if things dont go the way u want and it is rather sad if you not even have an objective in life... we study for the sake of a degree... we work for the sake of money.... we eat for the sake of eating.... have you ever wonder why do we exist in this world in the first place??

we spend most of our precious time working.... and i am already sick of working... we work for the sake of money... gosh! no life man... how i wish if i can stay near the beach and live a carefree life... living in fast pace environment is so stressful... especially in singapore... everything is about money money money! no money no talk... i realise it is very hard to climb to the top or get promotion if you dont have a gd qualification... getting a promotion in a bank is even harder...
well, i have never thought of going so far... at least i know i am earning a reasonable pay now... thats all!

thank god i finally made a decision.... i hate making decisions... argh! i wanna confessed i told a lie to my boss... i lied to her that i have urgent matters to attend tml and have to take half day leave... and i just sms her and i lie to her again that i am not taking leave tml cos i can settle my things during weekend... oh gosh! nevertheless, i felt so much better after i made a decision hoho! time to piggy : )

look at the stuff on the tables... all the yummy food! 

i went to market this afternoon... din know that with jus $30.. i can buy lots of food... i was assigned to buy some finger food fore one farewell party... i make full use of every single cent lolx... din know i am such good buyer... tell you a little secret all the food i buy are my favourites...haha... fried wanton, egg tarts, roti pappa, popian, pizzas and best of all durian puffs... yumyum!

I finally know the real reason why dark rings exist:

Dark Circles
Normally, the area around the eyes is well vascularized, meaning there is plenty of circulation supplied via plenty of healthy capillaries to prevent any build up of metabolic wastes and deoxygenated blood which present as dark circles.If you don't get enough excercise, intake too much coffee, tea or alcohol or don't drink enough water, vascularization in this delicate area is reduced and the likelihood of dark circles will be greatly increased. Left untreated over time, the capillaries are damaged and will cease to function well. Micro-circulation is reduced and the tonicity of capillaries must be repaired.Dark Circle PreventionPlenty of fresh water, minimal coffee, tea and alcohol and regular exercise combined with Eye Gel and Eye Cream. The degree to which you should exercise prevention should be dictated by your hereditary tendency toward dark circles: act as soon as they appear or use a preventative treatment 2-3 times a year if you know dark circles run in your family.Puffy upper and lower eyelids can also be attributed to lifestyle and hereditary.

Puffy Eyes
Puffy eyes, under-eye bags and swollen eyelids are a sign of insufficient lymphatic drainage. For some people, they are always an issue, for others its only a problem upon waking. The development of these problems often coincide with changes in hormonal balance or activity (puberty, pregnancy, menopause, the taking of hormonal medications such as contraceptives etc.).Insufficient lymphatic drainage is also a key factor in the development of cellulite -- its reason for being is a hereditary tendency toward an excess of a hormone called "folliculine." 85% of women are affected by this excess. The exess is perfectly safe, it only has aesthetic repercussions.Puffiness and bags can also be due to poor elimination of toxins and normal metabolic wastes, typically observed among those who regularly drink caffeine beverages and among smokers.To treat puffy eyes you must address water retention. Left untreated, water retention around the eyes leads to a build up of fat cells and subsequently loss of skin firmness, followed by tissue distension.

this blog is for my best frens...

first of all i need to apologise and thanks to all who have given in to me... at times i am quite selfish and stubborn... i only think for myself... thanks for tolerating my stewpig behaviours...
(i know you are reading this..)

have you ever thought of what kind of person you are?? frankly speaking, sometimes i dont even know what kind of person i am... and hence i popped out a lame qn to my frens, and the results that i get are: self- conscious, stubborn, have weird thinkings and dont easily disclose problems to others.... (all negative.. lolx) the only gd point is easy going....

i agree with them, i am self-conscious.. a person who is shy and easily embarassed... partly because i dont have self-confidence... perhaps i have grown up in a very protective manner... my mum dotes me alot and tell you a little secret i took school bus to school til the age of 12... only 13 i get to go school myself... so i dont really get to mix around with my frens much and other than talking to my frens during sch hours... i dont get to mix around with my frens after school... i am bad at mixing around with frens : ) since young i am always at my mum toes... she will take care of all my things and stuff... sometimes i have been wondering whether if all these causes me to be self-centered at times when i am with my frens... haha... i dunnoe myself either... i only know that i am quite stubborn at times... especially when my mum disallow me to do things that i wanted to do... for instance, blading... scuba dive... etc or stubborn at some other decision makings... oh well, my fren mentioned that i have a weird thinking... haha... i admit that cos i always popped out weird remarks... and lame questions... at times i jus think too much le... :P
i always have the mentality that be it a relationship, a friendship or a kinship....we all have to give and take... cos nobody is perfect... i think tat make me a easy going person ba; i dont take things to heart easily... and additonally i dont confide my problems to frens or even my mother easily... i am trained to solve all probs myself... this is what my sis taught me... hehe.. whenever i wanna ask her for help she would ans " do it yourself, dont always rely on others" haha... can memorise exactly what she said to me since young... afterall that is for my own gd..

i have 3 best frens....
one is my sec sch fren... haha i still remenber exactly how we start talking to each other... and we are like sticky glue... you will never fail to see me without her in school... we are always together.... though we seldom contact and hang out as often as we do nowadays but deep down in my heart u are still my best fren... if you face any prob dont hesitate to call me k?
the other fren is my poly classmate... you are the only fren who will cling to me when walking/shopping... frankly speaking, intially i am not very used to it... but i am very used to it now! hoho... i admire your confidence... you are always so confident in what u are doing... and you have a glib tongue... nobody can out talk u man... you plan and do things carefully... and is a very thrifty person... you spend money wisely... you easily get provoked and i like your frankness... and you always knows where to get cheap comestics and yet nice to use... you help me alot in some ways.. and lets ktv soon ya?
the third one is also my polymate... i still rem the day how we became frens... we went to cosway to eat at the fdcourt... doubt u rem haha... you are super hot-tempered person... nobody can stand your temper... but luckily you come to some sense... opps! you are so much better now... though still very straight forward... but this is what i call frank ba...you are my slimming role model... haha... i saluate to you... a very determine person... always likes to laugh very loudly... and tease people e.g can i bill? haha... sometimes you are quite hard to fathom... cos you seldom or i should say we seldom talk about our own problems very much... talk to me if u need a listening ear... i enjoyed the chat i had with you during the bus journey back to spore from genting... lets go blading more often after you exams ya... jiayou!

i am blessed to have these 3 frens... cheers to our frenship... gd frens dont comeby easy... it is fate that brings us together... hope we can still keep in contact til old old.. :P

would you look down on a person who is more senior than you and is doing the same job as you?

recently, my boss hired a worker who is more senior than me... she actually transfered him over and wants me to guide him... he werk with my colleagues in other branches before and before that i have been hearing lot of negative things about him... and all my colleagues dislike him... they find him old and weird ...and proud...
it was only annouced to me the day before the voe dinner and the following monday he will be reporting to je... and news spread very fast! during the voe dinner, everyone kept asking me if he is really coming over to work with me and some even wishes me good luck and stuff...
though i dont really work with him before and i do not know wat kind of person he is... i am not worried at all... i jus find that these people are really quite sacartic.... and 38....
the main reason why my boss transfered him over to work with me is because they find him fishy and sometimes abit lazy...and she wants me to help to monitor his behaviour so that she can also better monitor him at je at the same time .... je is small, we only have one level easier to monitor him compared to other branches.... they dont have solid reasons to ask him to leave and so asked him to come over... to work with me...
it has been a week that i have been working with him.... i agreed with my colleagues that sometimes he is weird and proud... he likes to brag about what he has done in the past etc... perhaps he doesnt mean to be proud... he jus wanna share his experiences?
but i really find him weird at times... he has lots of white hair and the way he look at people is werid.... opps.. i am not prejudiced here... he gave me creeps at time hee... and the only thing i cannot stand him is he always digs his nose in front of meee!! i think there are many golds out there... argh! yuckies... dont even dare to touch the things he touches before... eeeekks!
last week he told he will be on sat duty in orchard branch... and i was surprised that he will be on duty alone... so i warned him that on sat the volume is normally quite high and u might not be able to handle... so i suggested to him to call boss... and so he did... he tried to persuade boss to put another person to be on duty with him.. but failed... boss dont allow.. and he quietly obey...
i asked him... why dont u insist to ask her to send someone to help u... the reply he gave me is "i try to manage myself ba... i know i am old dont wish to bother her much..." after hearing that i pity him more... i think he knows that everyone dislikes him.. and i bet he is scare to lose his job
i am quite curious to know his past.... why is he werkin as a temp only at this age... he once told me that he is a personal banker before and has many years of banking experience... and the only thing that cross my mind is that he could have something very wrong before... and thats why he has to resort to this state??? oh well, i hope when i am old i am not depise by others can le... hoho!

i went to my company's funfair at fort canning... the weather was very bad... it started to drizzle when we got there... as we are quite hungry, we went to patronize the food stalls first... as were drinking our tomyam soup... it started to rain heavily... thank god we are under a shelter...
i was quite surprised to see everything are free of charge... e.g. the manicure/penicure... massages... popcorn... food... drinks... here are some pics taken during the funfair...

RUN.... run for shelter... 

there were at least few hundreds of people at the fair... cos i heard 1000 of pinic basket were given out... sniff i din get it 

say cheez 

it is kinda scary to take a photo with python...

this is the first time i took a pic with a pyhton... thinkin back i was quite brave... if you look carefully the snake is actually eyeing my right hand... the snake did kiss my hand and my hand became very itchy... luckily nuthing happen to me after that...

*i have a philipino maid face*

i went to "shao mu" this morning... nearly died-ed... i dint manage to have ample sleep and worst of all the weather is super super super HOT!
we received notices that our grandparents area is going to be demolished soon... if we wants to choose to place the urn in a specific location we have to pay more and it costs at least a thosand or so... the contractor says retrieving of the bones has to be done in the night... cos "corpse" cannot be exposed to sunlight... (reminds me of the show eye 10) and the sad thing is if there isnt anything to be found they would take those mud beneath the grave as representative... it would be v gross if they really can find some of the remaining... will there be maggots? opps... cos all the body was buried for over 30 years.... the contractor also mentioned that close relative have to be present to pay respects and the priest will chant some prayers... it would be an eye opener if i can participate in the ceremony.. i doubt my mum allows... anyways, i realise there many pattern of graves... there are tall tall ones, round round ones, some left unattended... some even with a tree on it.... opps why am i talkin about graves here...

best frens cum kakees... LAME!!

i was late for work today... not really used to wakin up early on saturday... bobian!

i have an uninvited guest today.... i was singing happily in the living when the door bell interupted me... i went to take a peep... it was that uncle... the old man... my dad's fren.. erm i should say our neighbour... he came to look for my dad... at that point of time i was wearing my pyjmas... i quickly call for my dad and i went in to toilet to hide...
5 mins ... 8 minutes...10 minutes has passed... that old man was still chatting with my dad in the living... argh! without hesitation i dashed out to my bedroom... and slammed the my bedroom door... to my horror, the uncle saw me, he wants me to sing for him... cos he saw the mic lying on the living room... my dad came knockin on my door... i was terrified and at the same time angry... cant they jus leave my house and chat... argh! first he interupted my singing and i have to hide in my toilet for nothing.. argh! luckily my dad got my hint... and a few moments later he left the house... yhew! really cant stand him...
i hate my dad mixing around with those ah pek uncles at the mama stall beneath my void deck... everytime i walked pass the stall, all the uncles ah pek will look at me... argh! make me feel so uncomfortable... i always try not to have eye contact with them whenever i see them... i am not sensitive... since he changed his job he became a ba gong also... argh! he would share with them our things... there is once, i was walkin home, that stewpig old man saw me and called me... he said" lai lai... wat is ur chinese name?" i was quite pissed... what the hell, my dad is with him, he can jolly well ask him, why ask me? i can rem clearly i smiled at him and the next moment i dashed into the lift... gosh! and many a times, i have to pretend to be friendly and zoom the next min i am gone... really cant stand them... argh who can help me out here?!

jus came back from home... feeling very tired it has been quite sometime i didnt blade... body aching already... went shopping with zh.. bought some stuff from ocean and we had our dinner at chionatown; we ate my favourite porridge and bbq chicken... yumyum! afterwhich we had cheese cake for my supper... oh gosh.. i am turning into a "fei ren"
