i'm a happy little gal now! whoopeee!!!

hah you wanna see the email that the stupid malaysian bitch sent out on friday night? here it is:

Cheryl, Kathy,

Last Thursday evening you were brief on how to complete the AP Validation of Accounts exercise. On Friday, you were advised via an email to start on the project as soon as possible, with tips on how to obtain the information. The dateline for this project was this morning.

Today, I did not receive any update from either of you. I was not notified that you were not able to complete the assignment, or when that assignment would be completed. This is unacceptable. We all have a variety of requests and priorities - some of them conflicting, so we prioritise and communicate datelines that are not achievable. You have been coached over the past 5 months on the importance of planning and how that will impact the success of your projects. I would hope that you have learned something from it.

The inaction on your part has delayed the completion of this entire project and embarrassed this operation. I have had to communicate to Corporate why Asia Pacific cannot submit on time, without prior warning that the dateline was not achievable. If you think you are just completing another exercise - you are not. I have reiterated to you that management make serious business decisions on this project.

I do not doubt that you have a bright future in front of you. Take this as a learning experience and treasure it - you may not get second chances in other organisations.

Regards
Christine

and then she cc-ed like the whole world.. my boss, her boss (which is like the big boss), HR manager, and my NTU supervisor too! she probably bcc-ed the rest of the office. why wouldn't i be surprised? *rolls eyes* she is SUCH A BITCH, i tell you! her email made it sound like WE couldn't get out priorities right. duh. hello? HER top priorities doesn't mean it should be MY top priorities too! if SHE can't get her work done, why should it be made MY problem? this work was given to HER by the Houston office, she got no time to do it so she just dumped it on us. well, guess what. she just offended the one person she should never ever offend. and she dared to complain to my boss that i had an attitude. HAH. too bad for her that my boss is on my side and he was shielding me. he told her but i'm like that, and that is just me. HAH! yay! i like my boss. that must have really hit her hard in her face coz she probably wasn't expecting HR and my boss to be siding me. that triggered her to send that email. kinda like her way to prove that she's no pushover. that's what my boss said. well, she just further proved her point that she is being a childish bitch. if this is her idea of "winning" hahaha i'll let her be while we all stand at the sides and watch how she makes a fool of herself. the joke's on her. that we all know. only she doesn't. haha. serves her right for being so narrow minded. you can be sure she's not going to get her promotion, neither is she going to ever get another IA student again.

oh gee! didn't realise i haven't been writing in here got a long time! oops! been so horridly busy with work that i have to time for anything else!!! ok shall try to fill you in on what happened over the past week...
~~~~~
had a half day on monday and got tuesday off. it's a damn long story. crazy weekend i had. spent it in the office doing work. me and kathy worked through sat and all of sunday. and i really mean ALL of sunday. we didn't go back.
~~~~~
bitchy christine thought she "won" but guess who got the last laugh? she doesn't realise what a fool she has made herself out to be. but what would she know right? she's so narrow minded and childish. tsk.
~~~~~
i've got until monday to hand up my IA report. my boss wants to see the first draft by thursday.. heh oops. i had like monday and tuesday off and what did i do? sleep and go out! hahaha hey i havent gone out in a week! spent the last 7 days holed up in the office! it was my weekend apartment too. nice weekend apartment i had. amazingly beautiful view tooooo!!!
~~~~~
i've been spending alot of time with jeg... think i saw him almost every other day. did i? can't rem.. sure seemed like it! hmmm let's see... dinner on monday, lunch on thursday (or was it friday?). saw him on saturday too. then had dinner with him yesterday and today too.

kinda getting used to his company...

he was awfully sweet to me on saturday. he knew i was extremely upset at work over the email that i received... was so angry that i was crying so badly.. my eyes were all red and puffy. was hungry too but my eyes were too swollen for me to go out and get food and so he sent me lunch... plus a box of chips ahoy to munch while i was working. i feel so loved. hahahahahahahahahahaha
~~~~~
glad i managed to get my nails done today!! back to work tmr... sigh. it feels "normal" not to be working!!!

hp bill for this month just came in... it was >$100 again. for the 5th month straight. parents are pretty mad with me and i got shit. argh. i'm so angry!!

going to buy the samsung x430. hopefully tmr. it's been a crazy week and i need to buy something.

day's over. what a relief. it's been such a crazy day. friday's supposed to be a good day coz it marks the beginning of the weekend. (gosh, i absolutely can't believe it's friday already! this week just flew past! zoom zoom zoom zoom!!)

christine went mad today. and i mean really insane crazy. *rolls eyes* she was behaving like such a bitch this morning. totally childish, and absolutely unprofessional. she's 28, looks like 35 but behaves like a 3 year old. (maybe 3 year olds behave BETTER than her. tsk) want to know what happened? call me. too zonked to write the whole day's events in here...

actually feels good to be home early. i'm so tired. feel like sleeping already. heh but part of me wants to go out too. not too sure what i want to do though. maybe just chill. wouldn't mind catching a movie but i'm so sleepy.. *yawn* jeg probably wouldn't want to come out coz his cheeks are still swollen from the extraction of his wisdom teeth. that poor boy can't even eat proper food yet. heh thank God mine wasn't painful and didn't swell! i don't remember it swelling. and i was eating the very day. hehe

oh well think i'll just have an early night tonight. off to bed i will go. goodnight!

ahhhhhhhhh i'm soo buried under work!!!! have been working late the whole week. 9pm is starting to be a norm! eeekks. and i havent even started on my report. stupid christine just dumped 4125 records on me and kathy to go through. she has to submit them to Houston on Friday morning. i duno how is she going to do that. it takes me and kathy 12 hours just to go through about 300 of them. and its not even complete. we're just pulling out the incomplete ones!! we still have to go search God-knows-where for the respective companies' annual sales revenue and the standard industry code. did you know that there's a code for every single damn industry?? right down to what kind of eggs the company produces. chicken eggs? duck eggs? turkey eggs? *rolls eyes* you get the drift.

i barely have any energy left for anything else. i don't even write in my blogs anymore. i'm soooooooo tired!!!! *sobz*

oookkay..... now that i've had my fun over the weekend, it's time to tune back to work frequency. (this is the tought bit!!) i foresee me suffering from the weekend hangover again. and that will probably last me all week till the weekend arrives. then the whole vicious cycle repeats itself. why can't we have like a 4 day work week and a 3 day weekend? 1 work day less wouldn't make a difference right?!! i bet it will be more productive too. coz the poor workers wouldn't feel the strain of the week and decrese in their productivity and work efficiency.

why is it that i can go on and on and on in here but i just can't get started on my report! there's probably more than 2000 words in my blogs but i can only think of 2 words for my report: THE END. muahahahaha

waiting for mummy and daddy to come pick me up.... *yawn* contemplating going back to bed..

spent almost the whole weekend hanging out with marianne. she's so fun to hang out with! haha the crazy things we did... prank calling jon. ah hock! hahahahhahahaahahahaaa and we got our tatts tooo!!! *grin*

there's this shop at scotts... it's called LuLu. it has the most gorgeous bags and shoes!!!! *in love* oh man. i just LOVE LOVE LOVE everything there!!! the heels are so damn sexy and the bags... oooohhhh sooo chi chi!!!

i'm having a problem identifying with the days of the week. on monday, it felt like friday. on tuesday, i thought it was another day of the week. yesterday felt like tuesday and today, one moement it feels like wednesday and the next it feels friday. :S

well well, guess what. we didn't meet for dinner in the end. heh. he couldn't make it. it's quite funny how we always seem to be cancelling on each other... this is not the first time.. but he did come pick me to send me home though.

the stock for Biotherm's Abdo-Choc is FINALLY HERE!!! went to get it today. got the celluli-choc tooo. heheh got that instead of happy legs. i wanted to get happy legs coz i swear i can see the cellulite coming out on my legs!!! it's TRUE!!! how depressing!!!

please remind me to use the products!! it's my answer to a flatter tummy without having to do sit-ups!! (i still havent done any since the last time... which was probably months ago! *sheepish grin*)

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!! we managed to get an extension on the deadline for our IA report! *jumps up and down*

i swear me and kathy do the weirdest things. we are actually sitting next to each other!! (she's like about 3 or 4 arms' length away from me only!) and we communicate through email, tagboard and even the phone!!
i wonder if the people around us find it weird that we are always on the phone at the same time and hang up at the same time too. not to mention bursting out in peals of laughter while (pretending) to be looking intently at the computer screen....

heh i'm meeting him for dinner tonight. mmmm i don't know if i want to have dinner... haha. i dunoooo... do you think he will go crazy if i cancel on him? heee

me and kathy are so crazy funny today. *grin* we're wearing caps at work now. hahaha its those baseball caps. our supervisor just came back from the houston office and he got us each a basball cap with the company logo on it. (i bet he didn't buy it. probably just took from them. tsk) it's not the nicest caps but i guess we're just really bored. anyway the caps can serve another purpose: hides our eyes so we can catch a quick nap!!! ahh, aren't we such geniuses? *wink*

i think i want a motorola phone. v878. i like the samsung x430 too!! and the sony ericsson t630. white phones are sooo pretty!!! oooooh!!!!

It's a hot and lazy afternoon!!! The sun's draining up my energy. *yaaawwwwnn* I'm fighting a losing battle with consciousness... falling asleep!!

My nails are such a slutty red. So unlike me. Heh. I like the red but it's such a chore to match my clothes, shoes and bag with it! My red heels match them perfectly though!! Awesome! But this morning, in my hasty semi-conscious state, I grabbed the wrong bag (a maroon coloured one)!!! Yucks. It so doesn't match my nails. =(

muahahhaa I'm positively bored to the max.... shooting rubber bands... you get the idea...

i'm sooo sleepy... can't wait to get home!! miss my bed!! *sobz*

as predicted, i'm so busy at work now... gotta prepare training materials and come up with ideas to promote awareness for the new program. tsk. can't wait for attachment to end!!!

*yawn* hardly think i can sleep tonight... just started writing my logbook. have to finish it by tonight 'coz supervisor is coming to visit on wednesday. *sigh* only writing for end of march now... still got the whole month of april and half of may... tsk...

An eye for a guy is so stupid. Rachel is such a bitch. She obviously likes Mark but still chose Sivert to go to Paris with her. Here's the twist: Mark's going along to Paris with them 'coz him and Rachel are dating. DUH! Sivert must have felt damn cheated! She's so fake!!! If I were Sivert, I'd ask for cash instead of the trip man! Three of them go to Paris together... *raises eyebrow*

can feel a migraine coming on... i don't wanna write my logbook... *stomps feet* it's so pointless. they don't even read it anyway. besides, i can barely remember what i did the past month. hahaha i wanna sleeeeeeeppppp. *whines*

decided to have a wild weekend, irregardless of whether i finish my report or not! I WANT MY FUN TOOO!!!! it's not like staying home will ensure me finishing the report. i will just feel less guilty that's all. so all i have to do, is throw my guilty conscience aside for the weekend!! yay!!! then it wouldn't prick me. *grin*

Whooopee!!!! I'm GOOD!!!! I'm GOOD!!! I managed to make changes to the template (and make it my signature PINK colour), get my tagboard up and changed the colours tooo!!!! YAY!!!!!

it's one of those stupid tricks by guys. they start off by calling you/msging you everyday, so much so you know he is going to call. THEN, just as when you got hooked on them, they break the routine and make you wonder what happened. jerks.

bleh. I found the code for tagboard but that silly site has problem with new sign ups. How irritating. *pouts*

oh guess what. Me and nel didn't make it for the YM interview in the end... We figured that maybe we were not all that ready yet... *sigh*

I wanna be a good gal. I really DO! Stop laughing!!! Don't be RUDE! *glares*

YAY!!!! i finally managed to get my laptop fixed. all by myself tooo!!!! for the first time, i reformatted my laptop (and didn't kill it in the process!!!) i'm so proud of myself!!! *jumps up and down*

signed up to help out with youth ministry a few weeks ago. the interview's tomorrow... i hope i'm ready to serve... being an AYSGL would mean taking on a whole bag of responsibilities and would definitely reqiure a change in a way i feel about certain issues...

*sigh* i still have yet to start on my ia report and logbook!! i spent the whole afternoon reformatting my lappie. (rather most of the afternoon was spent sleeping. hee) my lappie decided to age tremendously overnight and became really slow and laggy... the norton antivirus also went bonkers! can't be opened. it's driving me crazy. have never reformatted a pc before. this is the first. hope it will be the last. would have just bought a new one but this is not even 1 year old! what's up with those people who create the virus!!! GGRRRR. they are most annoying! *glares*

was on the bus on the way home when he called... asked me if i wanted to get off the bus and he'll come pick me up at the next stop to send me home.

haha i can't believe this. the people around me are trying to de-spoil me, and here he is, spoiling me.

OK, so I finally managed to single out about 13 projects out of the list of 455 projects. Crossing out what I didn't want to do was easy. I practically crossed out everything. It was picking out what I wanted to do which was the difficult bit. I mean, stuff like creating a computer game?! Bluetooth applications for PDAs?? Robo-Soccer?! (and so much more than you could ever imagine!) *blink blink blink* How do YOU expect ME to do that!! Yikesss!!!

Kinda decided to do development of algorithms for DNA, protein structure prediction and stuff like that. Bioinformatics... DNA... pretty interesting I guess. Definitely sounds a kazillion times more interesting than the rest to me. And I'll probably get it coz think no one else would want to do those. Only problem is, I have no background, whatsoever of DNA Structuring. Heh. Looks like I gotta start reading up soon. My brother said it's easy and that he'll teach me. mmm... doesn't sound all that bad. Cells and molecules cant get any worse than electronics, transistors, op-amps and programming. THAT is like THE ultimate. One wonders why I ever decided to do computer engineering. tsk.

My past is coming back! Freaky. The day before I spoke to Luke. Then yesterday, Kent msged me out of the blue. *quizzical*

Jon! When are you coming back??!!! Having fun bumming in Perth? heh Perth is such a bum place!! Didn't you say you were going to email me? bleh!

This week is such a boringly uneventful week... I can't believe I stayed home all week. I've got plans today but I don't think I'm going for either... Not in the mood to club this week. Ok, I'm gonna have a wild party week next week. Report or not, I don't care! I wanna party! I wanna party!! I'll try to get my report done this weekend. (somehow...)

I like the song "The Reason" by Hoobastank (What KIND of name IS that?!). Anyhow, the song is nice! "This Love" by Maroon 5 is awesome too! =)

My room is still in a state of disaster. Looks like a tornado went through it. Started clearing it out on Monday but the cleaning bug left me like the day after. heh. It's a pain to look at the mess. I don't know how or where to continue. I should just take a thrash bag and throw everything out. Cleaning my room is akin to opening a can of worms. It's amusing going through my old stuff and browsing my old diaries. mmm I ought to keep a diary. My memory fails me sometimes. Either I have a goldfish brain or I have selective memory loss. =|

mmm how would I look like with golden brown streaks? Or maybe blonde with pink streaks?

I've got reddish pink nails now. Marianne calls them a sluttish pink. But I didn't do any nail art. Jo (my manicurist) said leave it plain to show off the colour. Hah. I promise pictures when I get home.

mmm blogspot requires way too much HTML to make changes to the template. Maybe I'll just be content with blog-city. Least blog-city is quite cheryl-proof. Don't even have to do any HTML coding. I want my own tagboard too but I have no idea how to get it up. It would be most awesome if I could figure out how to put up a tagboard on my blog-city blog....

Yes yes... I know I ought to know a decent amount of HTML coz I'm in computer engineering. but but but... HTML and programming is way beyond me man. Yikes! Ask me anything else about shopping or manicure and I can tell you! But NOT HTML!! *blink blink*

I have no idea how to change the template for this. Hence the boring old blue standard template as opposed to my usual pink one at blog-city. To credit myself, I DID try to take a look at the HTML code for the background template. It was, erm, an overwhelming, breadth-taking, heart-stopping experience. Kudos to all out there who managed to make their blog look so spectacular! For now, I'll content myself with the simplicities of blogging. Hahaha that's the lazy me speaking.

gonna get my nails done in awhile. YAY! and now that I know how to post pics, I will take pics of my pretty painted nails and post it here. *grin*

I'm pining for a massage!!!! Gee, at one time I was getting massages pretty often... but now... *sobz*

Guess what, I still haven't touched my IA report. It's still has the same number of words. *sheepish grin* First things first, I gotta fill up my logbook... my NTU supervisor is coming down for the final assessment next week..

Alrighty gotta run now for my manicure appointment... fill this up again later!

*stretch* I just finished a 2 hr long conference call.... my ears are ringing. It was such a loooong call... Half the time I was just tuning out and doodling on the paper in front of me. Didnt really have to attend the call, but my boss wanted me to so, oh well... since I've got nothing much to do now anyway.

MY IA REPORT!!!.... *SIGH* Major inertia is kicking in, I tell you!! BIG TIME! This is like the mother of all inertias!! Have been sitting on my report for the longest time! Now that I have a vauge idea how to do it, I gotta start doing some reseach on the company. Believe it or not, I still have not much idea what this sodding company does. I just know it's some software solutions company. Oh shut up! I'm not being a bimbo here!! BLEH!

I'm hungreeee!!!! hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry!!!

Oh yah! He came by my office yesterday just to send me home. Sweet? Mmm suppose so. But his sweetness might actually work against him. heh. Coz I'm not your typical gal. Sweetness doesn't really work for me all the time. I'm warped. So what? Not that there's anything YOU can do about it!

Was chatting with Luke yest. haha it was quite funny. He was trying to convice me how I should find a nice good guy then suddenly he said hmmm but then where's the fun then! hahaha yeah how ironical coming from him huh? Tsk. That guy is messed up too. He's got a good gal over there who cooks for him and looks after him but he's in oblivion. *rolls eyes*

My nails need some pampering... gotta find some time for a mani and pedi. Hope Jo's free! She's sooo busy, it's close to impossible to squeeze a time slot from her!

he came by my office just to send me home today... sweet, ain't he?

Alright. It's official: I've got the writer's block. Been staring at my IA report the whole morning.

It doesn't seem to be moving... Still at the same line: 2nd line of the abstract... hmm I've been at that line forever. It's been a few days already. *sigh*

Umm, well, I did try to beautify the cover page and the table of contents. *blink* It looks all pretty now. =)

I'm gonna be mega busy in the weeks to come (hopefully the blank pages of the report wouldn't still be staring back at me). Gotta select my FYP by this week and the stupid IA report is due by the 22nd of May. But I have to cough up a draft before that for supervisor's review. OH NO! I still have to fill up my logbook. *slumps in the chair*

Have absolutely no idea what to select for my final year project... Looking at the list, I'm like wondering... HOW ON EARTH CAN ANYONE EVEN DO A PROJECT ON SOMETHING LIKE THAT! I mean, half the time, I don't even understand the project summaries! It may as well be written in another language!! Tsk! The more interesting ones are bioinformatics... stuff like DNA Structuring, MRI Imaging, cancer detection and whatnots. I wouldn't mind doing those. Only I have no idea how to. *clueless*

Just a passing thought: Why isn't my phone ringing today?...

It's raining now... mmm wish I was snuggled up in bed... that would be most awesome!

Where is my fairy godmother? Why is it that I can never find her!!! Tsk. Fairy Godmother! Where are you??!! Ok, let's compromise. You don't have to appear. Where ever you are, just read my blog for updates on what I want yeah? *sweetest smile* For now... these will do:
1. FYP to be selected. While you're selecting, how about getting it done too?
2. my IA report and logbook needs to be completed too...
3. some money for shopping and clubbing would be nice!!!

argh... stupid IA report. I have absolutely no idea what to write in it!!!
