and it's the last working day of the year!! yay!!!

yawn... it's a slow lazy tuesday morning. 3/4 of the office is on leave, including ALL the bosses... my manager is on leave too. there's no work to be done. it's raining outside and i'm freezing! the perfect day to lie in bed all day and watch tv.

i'm so fat now. yikes. i've put on so much weight, it's unbelievable. almost 5kg in the last 9 months. it's yet another sign that i'm getting older and my metabolic rate is slowing down. sigh! i've never seen my weight fluctuate like that!! it was an almost imposibble task to put on weight last time and now, i don't even have to try to put on weight!! work is bad. it makes me fat. (therefore i shouldn't work! hahahaha) now that i work, i eat proper meals everyday - breakfast, lunch and dinner. before, it was only 1 or 2 meals a day.

time for lunch! bak kut teh!!!

what are the chances of hitting the bull's eye?

what are the chances of hitting the bull's eye twice in a row?

rain rain rain!! if only it was snow...

it's one of those days when the unexpected happens and what you least expect appears right smack in front of you.

there are aleady 3 christmas parties which i have to go to... 23rd, 24th and 26th. sigh! and i thought i can have a nice quiet christmas weekend at home.

i'm dreaming of a white christmas...

6 more days to christmas! yipee!!!

the perfect lazy rainy sunday

so here i am... finally doing what i've been wanting to do for the longest time - sitting at starbucks, sipping on my hot cup of mocha, reading a book, watching the world pass me by, christmas music playing softly in the background... ah... all these on the perfect lazy rainy sunday afternoon!

it's kinda theurapetic. somehow.

what makes the world go round?

what makes the world go round? some say love, some say money... *shrugs* i say time makes the world go round and round and round and round, so much so the world is spinning faster and faster and before you know it, it's the middle of december! how did we get here!

by the end of the year, i would have attended 5 weddings and a funeral (missed alicia's wedding, or it would be 6 weddings and a funeral). weddings and funerals.. both make me take a moment to stop and look at my life. haha i know, it's the weirdest thing for weddings and funerals to have anything in common at all. no, but seriously. as much as funerals freak me out, it makes me stop and look at my life. i wonder how i'm going to die next time. or what's going to happen if i die now. i'm sure my absence will be felt.. and i know i will be missed! haha and then i feel sad coz i don't want to leave my loved ones and friends behind. will i be looking down from above? it's a weird feeling. and then there's weddings. weddings make me stop and look at my life. i look at the happily married couple and i wonder if i will get there sometime. it looks so fun getting married, the wedding banquet, the beautiful gown, the serenity of a church wedding. everything about weddings is just so magical. that moment when the bride walks in and all eyes are on her. her husband-to-be at the end of the aisle looking adoringly at her. and then i wonder, will i ever find that someone i want to share the rest of my life with? how will i know he's the one? i've asked my friends who are married or getting married. they just smile and say you'll just know. oh well!

back to work

monday blues. again! feels weird to be back at work today. haha. anyway all the bosses are on long leave already so it's as good as holiday. *grin* didn't really do much work today. cleared the emails which accumulated while i was mc, did the christmas decorations, walked around abit and then it was time to go home. haha. everyone's in the christmas mood already, and with all the indians back in india, it's fresh air once again. yay!

i'm sick and i'm pmsing. how wonderful. i'm irrational. i'm irritable.

my parents are choosing the perfect time to pick a fight with me. i CANNOT be b-o-t-h-e-r-e-d. what on earth is wrong with them! what's wrong with mummy? is she insane or what? she's the one who started yelling at me and then she turns around and starts saying I'M the one who started the yelling. what the fuck? i'm sick and i barely have any voice left in me, WHY WOULD I BE THE ONE YELLING? you tell me. geez. she's definitely insane. i'm fucking sleepy, and all i want to do is to go SLEEP. so why would i want to throw a tantrum at her? that's the last thing i want to do. ARGH!!! MOTHERS.

total number of days i have to work this week = 1.

yes, only one. hehe. coz i just got 2 more days of mc this morning. finished the first round of medication but didn't feel any better. i looked so totally stoned at work yesterday, everyone was asking me to go home to get more rest. but i felt like i had enough rest already. spent the whole of monday and tuesday at home sleeping... was oh so very bored! i was suffering at work though... alternating between feeling hot and cold... was pespiring but my fingers were blue from feeling cold. poor me!!! woke up this morning feeling worse than ever. head was throbbing, nose and ears were blocked and my throat felt lined with phlegm. went back to doc to me 2 more days get stonger med and he gave me 2 more days of mc. longest weekend ever since i started work bu i'm nt enjoying it!! have to get well before sunday though coz it's my cousin's wedding. sigh!

it's no fun being sick. i'm not in the mood to do anything yet i'm so bored from staying home.

first monday i didn't get the monday blues. i practically slept the whole day and i'm still feeling sleepy. i spent the whole day drifting in and out of sleep, all the time feeling hot and cold. can't even sleep properly!!! argh.

alicia's getting married this sat.. hmmm.. she's the first of my best friends to get married. yikes. time flies! 3 years ago, alicia, minghong and me were having dinner and speculating who from our secondary school would be getting married first. now that conversation seemed so long ago. i still can't believe alicia's getting married! i was in total shock when minghong called me last week to tell me about the wedding. a pity i can't attend the wedding. it's up in KL and my cousin's wedding is on sunday. it would be a mad rush to make that trip up. i really want to go though.. it's been awhile since i last saw her.

something tells me i'm going to dread going to work on wednesday...

can't remember when was the last time i'm home and watching cartoons on a weekday morning. no i'm not skiving. i'm really sick. doc gave me 2 days mc to rest. didn't even have to ask for 2 days. heh. woke up this morning to go to work but couldn't move. just felt so tired all over. felt feverish and i was coughing till my eyes were all teary and nose all red. sigh. poor me. managed to drag myself to the doctor's to get some medicine. now i just want to flop down on my bed and not do anything for the rest of the day. it's terribly hot but doc says i have to stay out of the aircon. sob. how sad is that. argh now i'm feeling cold. this sucks. one moment hot, next moment cold. medicine's kicking in now. i'm feeling whoozy....

USD has been dropping... euro and british pound is going the other way. hmmm... with the USD dropping, i can buy more victoria secret's stuff now!!! *grin* AND since i'm guessing the price of LV bags will be going up, i should buy my LV bags now too!
