Auntyism

I think age is catching up on me... I am starting to develop some aunty characteristics!!

I remembered reading from talkingcock. com or somewhere that aunties are cool! They have a mind of their own! Always insist on their way! Devil may care attitude!

Yes... slowly, i am havin it all creeping up on me!

The scariest part is today. Bought some clothes from metro and they gave me this utterly auspicious but extremely auntyish carrier bag.... those sort of big, recyclable bag. Mind you... there was a happy new year word on it.. with those oriental decoration.. and of coz, it was RED!!

I was thinking... oh my gosh! how am i going to venture in orchard with this kinda obiang bag!!!! gosh!!! what a disgrace!
But.. this auntyism suddenly conquer my soul. I took the bag and fling it onto my shoulder. It fits well! Hence I continued carrying it.... subsequently, any form of embarrassment about being seen with such an auspicious looking bag vanished. I became the girl who is pleased to be given such a useful bag!

Worse thing is.. after work, met a friend for movie at vivo,.. i was there earlier... hence went to walk around 1st (yes, with the lucky red bag over my shoulder of coz!). and whatever thing i bought, i just dumped into the red bag! It feels sooo good! It's such a handy bag! Big enough to hold everything, without the fear of the bag giving ways. It's strong, just like aunty! I began to appreciate auntyism.... carrying such a bag is such a joy.... despite the dirty looks from the young and hip crowd. Who cares! As long as it serves the purpose, i dont give a damn abt how others see me!

Wow! Devil may care attitude is here!!

Next, how about perming my hair in maggi mee style? I may look really beautiful in them!

Auntys rulez!!

helooo

sorry for being away, but i am still alive. yup!
Hello!!

i was rather busy these days....

anyway, hi.. and bye.....

driving home!

This weekend, had alot of driving lessons... 3 to be precise... and 2 sessions today!
WOW!!!
Why am I so onz, clocking hours just like any cabby drivers? 200 min today...
Well, no choice.... i have to finish all my lessons by CNY! 4 more lessons to go now! Almost there already..... almost....

Now, its like my revision lessons. I have learnt everything, so now its juz a matter of familiarising all stages and the test routes.

My most feared is the crank course... and of coz those parallel parking...

I really kept remind myself to do it correctly. Why? Coz I dont wanna do corrective actions. Why? Coz I dont know how to!! those reversing in the correct directions is killing me! Hence I'm like making sure I do it correctly so no corrective actions is needed....

Yesterday I kena an uncle... at 1st, he looked so stern and never smile. Yea.. those kinda scary face and I'm like... die!! But I almost faint when he took out a hand moisturiser to moisturise his hands.. i am like.. HELLO!!!

But slowly, my "innocent and helpless" antics won him over... he started to smile and joke with me... coz i do things like stick out my tongue when i did something wrong... i know i know, it's disgusting coming from me... but the tongue just come out automatically when I knocked the pole down...

And when he said it's gonna rain soon, i cheekily said it will rain after my driving lesson. Then he said: no... rain when I am home! I quickly said: okok.. hope it will rain when u get home. hahaha... licking his boots!

And being a humble person, i kept convinced them that i suck! and need their kind guidance. Guess that make them soft and more approachable too. And when they give me those instructions, i ardently nod my head and say : orr orr... ok....

And today, I told the instructor that I am stressed. Hmm.. not that stressed actually, but to say that so in case i underperformed, he think that it's bcoz i am stressed, and not because i am lousy! Hehee... yea... i know.. i am a cunning fox!

But guess I drove pretty ok today. The instructor said i am not stressed what... Hehee.... low expectation, high performance... thats the way it should be!

And that instructor was so kind that he suggested sending me home coz it looked like goin to rain soon. As usual, I cant contain myself but blabbered: you are such a nice person!

Oh, that's me!! Cunning, and Cute! ;P

no topics

i dont know what i wanna talk about.. but i juz feel like blogging....
feeling very tired today... coz yesterday i was working late...

the irony of the story was... i was working late and was very tired.. til i dozed off.... woke up at abt 1247 and my god! so late! hence in a drowsy state, i shut down my pc and proceed to bed.... this morning, on my pc and got a rude shock! i did not save my files! those stuff i have been working on... gone!!!
i should have just jolly well gone to sleep... so i wont be feeling so tired today... oh well.... thats why people always say... MUST SAVE!!!

save your files! and of coz... money too...

money... leads to my next topic...
recently, the entreprenuerness inside me is bursting out of my body. I wana be a boss of my own! maybe it was after reading nanz chong's book...
anyway, 1 of them is on the way and excuse me for advertising here again!
my business

I think its a neat idea which is beneficial to all! you can read books at a lower price.. and everything is fuss free!

some ideas i have also....
breakfast shop chains all over the island near mrt stations.. taiwan has many breakfast stalls which sell delicious breakfast. we could do it same way as them?
a low calories food booth in all foodcourt... it will be a healthy foodstall selling health food and suitable for those watching their weights. the calories and carb contents can even be communicated to the customers!
goin overseas and getting clothes to sell here.....
be a freelance make up artiste...
start up a tour business where private cars can bring tourists around the island for a fees... of coz.. the driver act as tour guide and muz explain to the tourists abt the history and cultures....

if only i have $.... then can be a business woman!!

and talkin abt business woman.... i tink u need to be at some level of nastiness... and i think im getting nastier.... is it the age thing? or the environment thing? i am not sure....
i am usually pissed by people... people who blocked my way walkin in front of me... people doing things tooo slowly, people who mumbled, people who are inconsiderate. and now i always wear a frown on my face when im alone (to display my displeasures at people!)

tis is bad!!! wrinkles!!! unattractive!!

boredom kills me... almost

feeling all bored and stuff... hence i am blogging now....

10 days has passed since 2008.. and i didnt write anything reflective about the past year... how could i? no new year resolution for '08! how could i???

anyway, 07 has been quite a reasonably good year... nothing bad has happened.. though nothing really good has happened too... so its a peaceful year...

greatest achievement for 07?
well... hmmm....... i reeally cant think of any... damnz... have i been sleeping through out the year? well.. i think almost.....
has been leading such a laid back life that i think my brain has sort of rusted! yea.. no more intelligent me!

But what has pass has pass... dont look back! just charge forward!

Highlights of '07
my best friend has given birth to a cute lil boy on 17 dec!
my best friend (not the same 1 definately) has been hitched.. on 31 dec!

and great plans has been laid out for the new year..
i plan to use my underutilised brain more.... the supposedly intelligent 1....

i am gonna take up japapense language!
i am taking up inline skating!
will start to go gym from next week.
i will appreciate and not take those who are nice to me for granted
i will love my family more
i will work harder and try to advance my career further
i will be mroe thrifty and think thrice before buying anything
i will read more books... i mean those which are bursting inside my cupboard

wow! it's gonna be a busy great year!!!

Happy 2008!!

cost cutting!

I am sooo amused by my dear colleague, tz.
currently he is on this cost cutting mode and aimed to cut down on his costs coz he said that by right, he should have more money since he changed job, but it doesnt seems like the case. he dont know where his money gone to. (haha! just like me... but of coz.. my pay is incomparable to his!)
hence now hes like trying to be as cheapo as ever!

the day before, he came to my desk and asked if i have a hp charger. then he started whispering to me that now all prices have increased, petrol, electricity hence he has to charge his hp in office.. use office's electricity. he was really whispering to me, trying to act 38... hence i also... whispered back!
i whispered that like that i should charge him for charging at my desk too!
he whispered back.. no... office electricity is free
then i whispered back... but the charger is mine!

then later he went over to ak desk and see what he can picked. he took some files and stationary which ak left me. oh man! the look on his face... seems like he was so delighted! then as he was sneaking back to his desk, ali walked past and asked what he is doin! think ali was amused by his behaviour too! coz hes really behaving like those cheapskate aunties! grab whatever he can!

then yesterday morning, as i was feeling very tired, i decided to go to a coffeeshop to get a shot of kopi... and being a kind hearted person, i asked if any1 in office wants.. of coz... orders flew in...... different orders may i emphasized....
yes... those guys always ordered different drinks and trying to test my memory...
and tz asked me to buy laksa for him too!!!

oh well.......

then later, we went for lunch tgr... and tz told my boss that i bought laksa for him tis morning. then my boss suddenly mentioned " i tot u wanna cut cost now?"
then i quickly rebuted...ya! he cut cost like that mah!!!! coz i paid for his breakfast now!
mikey then said: why u say.... i wanna test him mah!

wahahahaha... what an idiot that cheapskate tz is!! its rather amusing (though at my expense). the idea of him cutting cost by getting his colleague to buy breakfast for hiM! haha !! is that the idea of cost cutting!!!!????

but anyway, he tried to pay me back lah.. but i didnt take the money coz he buy me lunches too....
anyway, he asked if i can make it a daily affair to buy him breakfast... hahaha and i negotiated to him.....
i buy u breakfast, u buy me lunch ok?

i need to snitch more free lunches from them too! cost cutting strategy! hahaha!
new directions for 2008!!!
