For the past few weeks I have been working a lot. I realised I work 15hrs a day. I work when I'm in the office and I work when I'm at home. I'm physically and mentally tired but I cannot take official leave off work. I have to wait till like end of september or something before I can do that. I'm tired...

Last night I woke up in the wee hours coughing like a mad woman. I have no idea why but I had to sit up in order to breathe... and cough at the same time. Am I having asthma attack after 10yrs of not having one? Hmm...

I have 2 pairs of movie tickets... DOA: Dead or Alive and See No Evil. God knows when I'll be able to watch them! DOA will not be out till October and from the look of it, SNE will not be out so soon either. So the boyfriend will not be free to watch it with me, therefore, the other half of the ticket are still up for grabs. Of course, you hafta watch it with me, cos the tickets are mine... muahaha!!

I'm pissed the company kept rescheduling the Company Initiation Program (that's orientation in lay men's term) and I keep having to move the dates around. Should I get a PDA? Or should I stick with the good ol' organisers?

Going to Settler's Cafe again this Thursday. This time the good bunch will be going and I expect the fun meter to be up to the maximum level.

I want to plaaaaaaayyyy!!!

Saturday I woke up very early for a breakfast appointment. Yes, you heard me, breakfast! Hazel and Michelle picked up the-very-late me at Kovan Station for a quick drive to Cafe Cartel @ Serangoon Gardens. Nice atmosphere... I never knew there are 'morning' people around. So breakfast went great, we sorta celebrated Irene's birthday, good food, first time I ate waffles... they're really gooooood! 2 thumbs up from me!

Sunday I fully spent with my one and only other half. We had a scrumptious lunch/dinner @ Jacks Place. Its been a loooooooong time since I had my meat there. I ordered lamb chops and apart from that we had the seafood salad, sorry, heeyoooge bowl of seafood salad, sautee mushrooms and of course my part-time lover otherwise known as lobster bisque soup. We hung out for a few hourse before I suggested having dessert at Coffee Club. Hehe... right after a plate of Mudpie and Chocolate Enchantment, we're done for the day. Can barely move no more and the cabbies ain't stopping for us... *growl*

So that pretty much sums up my weekend. Its kinda tiring, but in a good way. I want it to repeat itself every week... I'm loving it!

Ok I am asked to post these photos up so that the whole of Singapore can boycott against it. The restaurant called New York New York and the pic owner didn't really tell me where it is at. But I can assure you its in Singapore.



Apparently they will make you queue for hours if they know that the rest of your friend hadn't arrive yet without informing you. And you'll only realise so when you reach the front of the queue when the the signboard below stared ferociously at you.



Lesson learnt, do not go to this restaurant, or, you can make sure you arrive with all the intended party then queue up, or, tell your friends to not make you wait for hours. There... *shrugs*

5.30pm I was already at zouk. Roam around the empty space armed with a glass in my hand. Wondering wtf am I gonna do later in there. My dear colleagues will be dead busy entertaining the clients and the rest will be busy doind administrative stuff. Wtf am I gonna do?

Aaron came to me with a bag of fake chips and claimed he can triple it in no time. I told him I do not know how to gamble and he dragged me to the casino area for a round of blackjack. I won that round and he looked at me in disbelieve.

Aaron: You told me you do not know how to gamble!
Me: I am good at blackjack but I've never played with chips.

So we were stuck at the table for a good one hour before the dealer had to close the table for a 15mins break. I walked around looking for familiar faces with no agenda and hung around them for a bit until my tummy start rumbling and I dashed for the buffet tables.

Hell break lose after I had my brief dinner. I hung around Clifford and helped to entertain his clients. They love me, I love them...

KC: You love Alfa Romeo cars?
Me: I love their spyder.
KC: I love a woman who knows her car.
Me: *raise my glass* CHEERS!
Jasmine: You're so adorable!
Me: *raise my glass* CHEERS!

I just ended a 10 mins laughing fit! I had to blog it cos' I got the whole office to roar with laughter along with me. Difference is they got themselves breaks in between while I go at it for whole 10 mins. I think I just lost 4 inches off my waist... Amen!

I created a blog for my brand new Sims Legacy called Bittersweet Sims. Its pretty much a random legacy, literally. I randomise everything and play with it. Except for their hair and clothing, which can make me gag, I had to change them. Otherwise, everything else is random. Oh no, I designed their houses... therefore erm... unrandom.



I'm having so much fun with it so far. Finally I manage to design pretty houses without spending a bomb (Sims metric, simoleons). I should take more screenshots of the houses I designed. I have this thing about 1 level homes. I hate 2-3 levels ones for my Sims will get tired easily climbing up and down the steps. Also I love to see what's going on at one glance without rotating the screen too much. Easy on the eyes, easy on the mind...

Anyone with such blogs wanna link up, or if you wanna start a legacy of your own, let me know... I'll be there!

I know I wanted to go on hiatus *glares at Kate* but in the end I sprung back up, like the trooper I've always been, and... well... blog. I have a few reasons why I wanted to and both didn't really work out. I had prepared a new layout for my website. Its gonna be all white... and pink. Hehe... something different. Its not quite ready yet... it can take me ages to 'approve' a new layout. So, hang in there. I'm still here, unfortunately.

Anyway, photo updates! These were taken last Saturday when the 3 of us met up for dinner at The Village (pronounced as vee laa jay), which had replaced my darling Marche. Thank God everything, apart from the logo and uniform, looked exactly the way it is.






And this is Clifford happily settling himself behind me


And I have learn to adapt cos' one day he came to the office armed with this

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face

Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder

How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet

Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud

I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying

Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are
If you're perfect

I sorta promise myself never to talk about blogathon again till next year but hey, this one's too good not to share. I should make one like this next year. Although I bet its gonna be a boring video, it'll still show you my determination to stay up for 24hrs and B-L-O-G my ass off. Eeks I think I spelt the wrong word!

Scenario 1
I met a fellow blogger during the recent Blogathon event. I never really got to know the person and from the way the person blogs, the avatar, the web layout, I assumed it a 'she'. Days later I chatted with another fellow blogger and realise the 'she' is actually a 'he'! Ok, I thought my sense of gender online may not be so good.

Scenario 2
A colleague of mine, named April, from the Philippines' office added me to her MSN but I didn't quite know why since I do not want to liase with so many parties and cause some kind of a confusion. I asked Paolo (the boss) who is she and what she does in the company and if she's the one I'm suppose to liase with in future. He was shocked and claimed that April is a HE!

Last night, after a very brief swimming session, Lianne and I took a stroll along Margaret Drive towards Farrer Road to dine in McDonalds. We started talking about homosexuality. Inborn or a choice?

Scientifically speaking, (more like Lianne speaking) some babies are born with the extra hormones of the opposite gender and they may be able to lead a life like someone of the gender but as they grow up, the hormones may take effect, full force, and that's where they 'come out'.

But then again there are people who...
1. are attracted to the same gender
2. think they should BE of the opposite gender, hence the gender operations

I myself wonder if its possible people become homosexual because of peer pressure. I'm talking about wannabes and posers. Do they develop the hormones in between or maybe they take something that helps them to develop those hormones? Or do they just pretend to be a homo just like the rest of their friends eventhough deep inside they're not? Is that by choice then?

If people can inject hormones into their body, is it reversible? Will it be able to help people who are born with it to lead a normal life again?

Hmmm... something to get you thinking a bit *hehehe*

Its been 50hrs since I last blogged. I felt well rested. Hehe... 24hrs blogging is just not funny. For charity, I'd do ALMOST anything. I've raised US$25. It may not seem a lot but I'd say its not bad for a newbie. Next year, I'll strive to do a lot better, plan my blog in advance, take a day off work (cos' in my case the blogathon ended on Sunday night, ie, I work the next day) and sleep a lot before the event.

My company had blocked YouTube website off the network. Like *sob*! They're evil! We need those videos for inspiration... for some light entertainment to get thru the day... for some sanity... for a good 10secs laugh... evil bitches and bastards! Grrr...

I get irritated easily nowadays. At work I have some inconsiderate, no-brain 'kids'. One of my 'bitch said to me, "Fida, you may be just a year older than them but you're such a professional!"

These newbies acted like the office is a resort. Punch in at 9am and play around till lunchtime, expct us the 'adults' to hold their hands thruout, make sure their mommy and daddy dun get worried, then make sure they reach the office safely, then let them play for a bit till its time to go home where mommy and daddy will pick them up. At the end of the month, they get paid... more than me, mind you!

I can't stand people who aren't independant and not willing to learn. They should remain in school and waste their parent's money on clubbing and stuff. They don't deserve to share a space with me... I HATE PAMPERED, SPOILT BRATS! Like... GROW UP~
