rambling, bitching, because i have nothing constructive to say
yesterday, the morning show guys were discussing "Bitching".
i have been bitching for days and it is making me miserable.
miserable because suddenly i feel like i'm stuck in a rut and miserable because i am not taking any action to get out of it. tsk.
as time passes, i find myself becoming more and more of a disgruntled worker, constantly moaning about whether i am appreciated for my efforts and etc etc etc. despite all that, the other half of me is as usual consoling my self and encouraging me to press on and perservere. tsk, why can't i be more decisive? but that is work anyway, problems which everyone has so whats the big deal?
ok lah, actually the main reason i started to get disgruntled is because i have discovered that while i am here being very busy everyday, my new colleague is there playing games on her computer, making 3 hour trips to the bank, and leaving at six before the dot, and best of all, "da-baoing" the company's hamper's bird's nest (all 4 bottles) home one day, and then the canned longans the next, as though it doesn't matter at all. (does it? because it matters to me?! so what does that make me?)
(*note to ash : maybe sandra feels like that sometimes, because i can't help but feel that i am turning into a sandra soon if i don't stop all this madness.)
i am very happy with my new hair (ok, thats a lie because i wanted to leave it long and do a slight perm). i am back to the short cropped style and also with a new self-motto : any hairdo/colour/style which costs more than S$50.00, it will not work out well for me. i have cheapo-hair. i have so far spent about S$200 in total; 1 to colour my hair, and 2 to get it rebonded (i was really hoping i could take away the natural "pong-ness" of my hair) and both have turned out disastrous, putting me in the position of being a "Nasty customer screaming for a refund or re-do". so from now until i can't stand it anymore, the hair is staying short, cropped and diy-coloured, something which worked for me for years before i started getting "ideas" about keeping it long and highlighting and blah blah blah.
arghhhh...i think i need a roller-coaster ride here. i need to go bike-riding.
i feel so incredibly wound up *sobs*
need........a.........break................... *_*

And for several reasons too, mainly because today is my last day of work before we go on "rest & relax" mode! This is truly going to be one big break starting tomorrow up till next Wednesday. Phew! At last, i'll be able to get a good breather from work, especially when all that stress is showing nicely on my face in the form of constellation-style zits. tsk.
ah well, tomorrow i shall begin the new lunar year with an afternoon by the pool. so exciting. maybe i will go and tan everyday so that by the time i start work, i will have a super golden tan or something, haha. i am deliriously happy.
i spent the entire weekend in the spirit of giving.
saturday was spent lazing around at home till late afternoon before heading out to meet ck for dinner and shopping, for him. (later, i shall get to the part where i realise that i have managed to qurb my shopaholic tendencies at last!)
i am amazed by my man, my traditional kampong fella, who after 2 pairs of 10-year-old black (turned grey) levi's jeans, decided to buy a new pair of levi's. he got a nice pair of 506 in a dark bluish shade which i must say, takes the years off him. i do not know how, but a "kewl" pair of levi's can really make someone look younger! really! best of all, it only cost him S$23.90 because he had a S$100 takashimaya voucher.
we also got him a new wallet. this man, is incapable of having smooth "kilat" leather wallets. somehow he is so rugged that he can wear the leather off till it tears. so in replacement of the now torn 2004-valentine's-day wallet, he got a new one with a tougher hide. i sponsored about 40%. if this lasts till next year, i will buy him a new croc skin one. wah, and on top of that, i'd bought him 2 new polo shirts in white and red to tide him through the new year. he really does look fresh with the new colours.
Sunday was spent taking my younger sister out on birthday shopping. i gave her a S$50 "Birthday Voucher" entitling her to 1 lunch anywhere, and S$50 valid to buy any number of items she wanted. So after 4 hours, she is now armed with a new mickey mouse pencil box, matching pencils, an amazing san-x character japanese mechanical pencil, a matching ruler, a lockable diary and a new pair of pink flip flops. ck earned on this one because i paid for lunch at sushi tei where he got to indulge in natto-makis.
i managed to go to katriel, sigh, but the ring i liked has been sold. they only have the crystal beaded ones left, and those cost S$90. i wouldn't pay that price for a cheap crystal. tsk.
anyway, i have discovered the joy of saving money. i started last month and now i am happy when i see my money growing. of course, in the early stages of learning to qurb my buying tendencies, there is always the occassional pinch in my heart, like when i saw this really comfy pair of gold leather thongs at Tang & Co. but maybe i will wait a little longer in case it goes on sale because i know that if i spend S$220 on that pair of sandals, no matter how much it makes me look like a greek goddess, ck will still murder me. sigh, i am already feeling withdrawal symptoms just thinking about it. but i will persevere! other than my toiletries and a white giordano t, i have no bought anything new for myself since payday.
actually i am also saving because i need to gather some moolah if i seriously want to take the canine grooming course. i cannot decide if i should start of with the basic course for dog owners or just go ahead with the professional course. the pro course will require a hefty payout, sigh. decisions are tough, but i am excited about this and can't wait for when i have enough to really sign up for it.
but oh well, holidays here i come! and it is ironic, because this morning, i feel extremely motivated to work, haha.
