Posted under Food, myself, bla bla bla by Blur Angel on Monday 30 June 2008 at 1:04 pm

Just SGD 1.50 worth of Pumpkin mix with Yam Cake …

and a cup of refreshing pineapple juice worth SGD 1.50 which is absolutely diluted with water and ice!

Sad? happy? satisfied? er.. no comment..

My brain is not really functioning .. so yeah …

i hope the pineapple juice won’t lead to cramps again … :)

FishesFishes

the fishes

I’ve had a bad week .. so on Saturday i decided to pamper myself .. go out and shop shop then chill …

but ..thanks to the stupid weather and the menses… i felt a lil’ unwell.. from headache to dizzy and almost puked … then tummy cramp…. :(

He was nice .. he wanted me to relax myself and forget the pain .. so he brought me to this Fish Spa place for a trial session! just 10 minutes!

i took quite some time before i put my foot in … the tickling feeling is super funny .. i laughed like mad….but i like the after effect.. your foot feels smoother and it is painfree unlike pedicure when they will scrub superbly hard!

He then signed up for 6 sessions .. 3 for me and 3 for him … :) hehe so i will have 3 more half an hour sessions!! hooray …

* the fishes are quite big…quite scary …but worth trying!*

*RAM

Posted under Pocket $ by Blur Angel on Sunday 29 June 2008 at 8:39 am

The ram of my current laptop is still sufficient but i want to get a new computer RAM upgrade for the laptop at home. It is a 3 years old Dell laptop which belong to my sister. She loves to download , thus the current RAM is not sufficient. I chose to upgrade via this website because it is reliable and recommended by my friends . Knowing all my friends are computer savvy people, i definitely trust them with their recommendations of this website!

She’s not smiling

Posted under My Job, myself by Blur Angel on Thursday 26 June 2008 at 7:29 pm

Miss BlurAngel hasn’t been smiling happily since Monday …

She is depressed.. she locks herself in the room after work.. she solemnly talk during work ( just imagine silence for 9-10  hours at work) .. she talks only when she is forced to..

Imagine a “fresh” grad ( minus off those useless jobs for a month or so) .. she is given a big project to handle! she is in charge of it!!

She is to handle in and out of the event! she has to organize a Cocktail cum Dinner event for high prestige shareholders and a press conferences involving all major medias in Singapore.. this is the First time her company is organizing such a big event ! ( other than those in overseas) … her boss added ” there’s no such word as FAIL in my dictionary , only SUCCESSION”  

ranging from the list of guests , the invitation , the door gifts , the hotel bookings , the name tags, the  logistics of workers to help out , the menu , the seating arrangement, the Emcee’s speech ,contacting medias etc etc etc the list goes on …she has to sort it out …

She is of course worried ..since she has no prior experience and pretty new to Singapore.. worst still , her colleague ( the old auntie) is unhappy with her.. often teasing her saying that ” wow, Min , u r the big boss now , u can assign us to do work now!” because boss said during the meeting ” everyone here are to assist Min ! this is the main priority now!”  

She is doing her best… trying to do well.. but mentally and physically , she’s exhausted .. she needs a shoulder again … and a pair of listening ears..  will some1 just sit there and listen to her .. let her release some anger and tension please…

Two days in a row ..she teared at work…  she knows she is 23 years “young” ( not old) , she shall not be a baby anymore…

but this is too much..she needs time to adjust to it … she’s missing something in life … love perhaps ? to calm her down after work? to de-stress her?

afterall, she’s still a princess/baby in many people’s eyes …. pls, give her a break and make her smile again!

** if she does well this time , she’ll be able to handle more upcoming events in overseas!! and her next position will be Marketing and Business Development Manager! Gambatae ** 

G’bye

G’bye , my dear friend…..

office issues again

Posted under My Job, myself by Blur Angel on Thursday 26 June 2008 at 8:05 am

yeah guess what?! we had a working lunch together with the bosses….

then i had no choice but to attend …  but with a sulky mood … of course i didn’t show it on my face… except that i was looking all PALE… colleagues that i was going to FAINT anytime…

i was terribly unhappy ..blablabla… finally the lunch was done! :) but .. they wanted to see me after the lunch! uh oh .. i knew it …

so they asked me about this and that.. what i like to do .. what i dislike .. what position … what’s wrong.. trying to psycho me a bit la… :( but after that i was alright .. they offered a new position and let me sign a new contract and promised to let me focus in my new era once the replacement is here!

i think this is the way to play the game… i get paid so i have to work for them , have to sacrifice a bit but not entirely!!  … but … whatever everyone says i shall not trust so easily …

it is always such that both parties will have their own side of the story .. agree? yeah .. of course.. this is normal … so which party to trust? no idea! best is NOT TRUST anyone.. believe yourself…

Just keep a low profile.. keep quiet…

you’ll never see the bubbly Min at work anymore.. this is so tiring and depressing! can you believe it that i came home and dozed off at 8 .30 pm??? this is how bad my work is doing to me…..

i can’t wait to go home.. even this Friday , i think i won’t be out having much activities… just come home and rot again i guess …not in the mood to even meet up with friends … sigh …

ok .. gotta get changed! bye! Have a great day !

your birthday is coming!

Posted under myself by Blur Angel on Wednesday 25 June 2008 at 5:53 pm

“your birthday is coming soon” said the front desk guy at the gym at 6.30 am this morning.. aww…so sweet… he promised to get me a balloon if i were to go to the gym that day!! we’ll see how it goes …

he is always so thoughtful because i once heard him wishing another lady happy birthday too .. i mean yeah because it appears on the screen when he swipes my card.. but still , he was so cheerful when he said that at 6.30 am .. besides , it is not my birthday YET ..

moreover, he remembers me and my friends.. he would greet me every time without fail and ask about my friends when i go there alone!! :)

so what if my birthday is coming? I’m not going to have a big celebration.or maybe no one will even remember! anyways .. yah .. still long way more to the day…

mum said ” u r spending my money everyday , no present for u ”

dad said ” you want money ?can! RM 2″

ok… i know i’m talking rubbish , i just want to post something happy … don’t want to think about the job anymore… let it be ..

stay cheerful! no1 loves you , then u should learn to love yourself! :)

yes … i’m crying again … at work …

horrible work place…

i can’t even escape out of the office as we will b having working lunch …

gosh … help me …

argh *sorry about this*

Posted under My Job, Angry/Sad by Blur Angel on Wednesday 25 June 2008 at 9:01 am

enough is enough …

what’s wrong with these people?!?!

now i understand why people are leaving and they never stay in this company for long!!!! * only one girl is senior - 2 years , others max 4 months!!!!*
the turn over rate is so so so high when it is not suppose to be because this is not a sales job! this is a finance job!! i don’t see such high turn over rates in big banks/financial industries * not including sales of course*

oh well… now i know.. it is because of the management !! they are so so so low class * opps, i mean they need to go for some management course* seriously … one dates the associate out , one misuse her law background to bully people , one uses her lousy English/words to criticize people- she sends out rubbish emails to criticize people when it is not their fault, oh come on ! she needs to make things clear before she sends the emails right? besides , she likes to CC to everyone , trying to me-malu-kan (disgrace) that particular person… hahah like we care? to us , we take it as a joke as the COO doesn’t know her stuffs! *

ok , shall not let these people spoil my mood … i know i won’t be happy being in this firm anymore , but i shall tahan .. I’ll just do whatever they want me to , and never do anything extra ! giving in , putting in effort will not do u any good in this firm!

* i personally will not quit before anything because i do not want to job hop , but if this is really going to be the case where the management people are being such idiots , there’s nothing i can do right?*

sorry for complaining so much about my job …. i just need to release my anger!

CUNNING !

Posted under My Job, myself by Blur Angel on Wednesday 25 June 2008 at 5:57 am

I finally understand what mum/dad/friends/family refer to as CUNNING BUSINESS PEOPLE!!!

Yesterday evening , i was so so so disappointed!  Story as follows :

my colleague’s gave the boss one month notice before leaving the company … so official leaving date will be 10th of July …which also means the company need to pay her if they want her to leave before that , and vise versa if she fail to fulfill the one month notice!!

But during noon time , Executive Director (ED) said to her “today will be your last day , alright?” of course she said “ok” …. before she left , she checked her cheque … to her surprise , they only paid her till yesterday (24th of June) … she went to confront the ED …

ED said ” just now you agree “then my friend looked puzzled , she said again “that’s verbal agreement” OMG….  she has no choice , but to sign the leaving letter stating that “miss XXX agreed to leave on the 24th of June”

she left the company later on …

i just didn’t expect a company to do this.. yeah .. i know she has Law background and she acts as the compliance officer in the company … still?!? why bully us?!?!?

Ok ok .. i was so down and mad at the same time .. i went out with friends despite being so tired!! they both thought i was SICK … just imagine how horrible i looked !!!

Also complaint to so many people … then i asked mum if i can take up law … she was more than happy .. but upon checking those courses… it takes ages! i’ll continue my research .. law is so important .. maybe i don’t need to do the whole law course but just some short time courses for businesses…

alright.. enough of rambles …

hope you will have a great Wednesday !!

no, i don’t like it !

Posted under My Job, myself by Blur Angel on Tuesday 24 June 2008 at 4:21 pm

i don’t like it when they treat me like an office girl!

i mean .. i agreed to take up the Marketing job but i have not discussed with the big boss yet !!! then they just pushed everything to me!

and when i complained about handling Marketing , Funds Ops and HR together , this old aunty who used to do the HR and Funds Ops stuffs said to me “actually , it is manageable!” what’s wrong with her?! previously , she was so stressed up according to her having to manage the things I’m handling now , and she happily passed everything to me … now she come and tell me ” it is manageable , cos Marketing has nothing much to do!” crap lahhh…

old auntie.. i tahan tahan… even another colleague doesn’t know what’s she doing now since she already surrender all her job to me! that colleague thought i assigned old auntie to do work and i thought she assigned auntie to do work! so , in fact, she is doing nothing!?!?!?!?!? rubbish!!!is she pretending to be busy ? or really so busy?? i don’t know…but busy with what???

i cannot show it out that i don’t like her .. because i still need to work with her under one roof .. so .. tahan tahan …

i just want to scream out aloud!!! God, Help!!!!

Also , i thought the boss will talk to me about my new job scope and blablabla? seems like he is ignoring me as he wants me to do EVERYTHING ???

hem…. *angry*

she’s leaving

Posted under Angry/Sad by Blur Angel on Tuesday 24 June 2008 at 2:09 pm

my one and only friendly colleague is leaving ….

she came on the same day as me but was scheduled to leave on my birthday … mr.wong said ” then u both can celebrate together” but …

just not too long ago , ED came to her and said ” today will be your last day ”

i’m feeling so bad … i’m going to miss her ..alot …

simply because she is the girl whom hangs out with me the most over the 3 weeks period .. we have lunch together most of the time.. gossip … blablabla..

anyways .. all the best to her  :) i’m sure she’ll be happier with her new job!!

Thanks , SQ !

Whinny

Posted under myself by Blur Angel on Monday 23 June 2008 at 9:05 am

i have been really whinny since Sunday 9 pm … till this morning .. i was still whining ..

because i do not want to go to WORK !!!

er…. why ? it is not that the job is not good , it is not that i am lazy , it is not that i cannot wake up on time etc etc..

it is simply because i do not want to work! i want to be a siu lai lai ( = tai tai ) to sit at home! then do something i really like i.e open a lil’ shop with my own business or go back to my home country and just be the Executive Director ! :)

i whined so badly till my friend was like ” aiyo , Minnie is so whinny tonight!” * opps*

anyways , i went out last night pretending to be a tourist again! we went to Chinatown and even used the washroom of this boutique hotel ( The Scarlet)  .. and guess what?!?! when we walked out of the hotel after using the washroom , we bumped into a friend!! so malu ok?!?! he must be thinking that we just *ahem ahem* … honestly, i swear to God !! pleaseeee trust me , i’m innocent!!! we did nothing but just using their washroom!! :>

CHinatown is alright! we also tried their famous XO Fish Head Mee Hoon  … to me , it is alright lo ! :) for Singapore’s standard , it is good la! but we can always find alternatives in Malaysia which are way better!!

ok .. that was my Sunday ! and now my body is aching!! because i worked out too much yesterday ! i didn’t do alot of cardio but i did quite a bit of machinery body exercise! :(

Stop whining miss Blurangel !! time to work !! stop daydreaming !!

Shopping day !!

Posted under Shopping, myself by Blur Angel on Sunday 22 June 2008 at 7:04 am

Muahaha… happiest moments in life is when u get to spend all you want but not having to worry about the prices and cost!! :)

I went out with friends to shop shop at Orchard! after walking for hours , i still fail to get the heels that i wanted! later on , we had a good chat at some cafe..it was awesome having to catch up with friends !:) we really had a good time!

I manage to get 2 pairs of heels from here during the second shopping session after the tea break ! hehe.. not to forget the shimmering powder , the expensive hair clip (SGD 10 for that lil’ “buaya” clip) and some stockings …

Did i mention that i also got myself a pair of flats on Friday? so yeah , 3 pairs of shoes in 24 hours!! uh oh ….didn’t bother to down photos of all my loots .. but yeah .. have a look k?

 

I’m a “tourist”

Posted under Happy, myself by Blur Angel on Saturday 21 June 2008 at 9:00 am

What do I like about Singapore? I like it when i can pretend to be a tourist! it has been more than a year since i came to Singapore but as you know the time i actually spent here is very very minimal ( about5 months?) yeah… and

i did not have much chances to go around and visit these tourist attractions! namely the Night Safari , Zoo , Bird Park , Sentosa blablabla… the last time i went there was when years back perhaps in high school period!

Last night , some nice guy took me to Sentosa , i felt so much like a tourist! We went there by Cable car , headed to Mount Faber before we head to Sentosa… First stop was Sky Tower , it is good! but the price is a bit steep! SGD12 for 7 minutes! :( but .. the view is quite nice , i enjoyed myself truly! Then , we walked down to the Merlion and Merlion Walk … didn’t go up as it was too late already! the Purple Merlion is not as handsome as the ori coloured one .. so i conclude the morning Merlion is a better looking lion compare to the night one…Palawan Beach ( bodoh right? they don’t know how to spell PaHlawan!)…. eww… i don’t like it at all! the sand are rough , the waves are minimal .. nope.. i was feeling so down after this spot… including the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia !!er.. nothing special … just look out place lo.. but at least i’ve been to the Southernmost point of continental Asia!!  then the guy brought me to Tanjong Beach ( again, they can’t spell! it is tanjUng ! ) we had drinks and snacks at the KM 8 beach bar! we chilled at the bench .. till 1 am …it was awesome!

but but but i still prefer East Coast Beach! :) Then we headed back for some supper for that man .. finally HOME at about 2 am !!

I definitely had fun being a tourist! the man claimed that i am not a tourist ( as i am a Singapore Tax Payer) but i do act like one..:) he promised to make me a tourist again soon! i love having to travel around without being known as a local!

Take a look at the photos , sorry but i did not bring a camera, so i just copied those photos from various websites, thanks,guys!

 

weird feelings

Posted under bla bla bla by Blur Angel on Friday 20 June 2008 at 2:51 pm

i don’t like this weird feeling ..

such that someone has to “ta pau” (pack) and leave… i am not referring to food where you pack your food and eat else where..

i am referring to packing your stuff to leave the company on your last day , packing your stuffs to move into a new place …

why ?it all started when i was only 17 years old ….

that time , popo (grandma) was admitted to the hospital and underwent operation. Unfortunately she passed away in the operation theater , so the nurse quickly sent some1 to inform us and pack her belongings in the room to evacuate for the next patient.

it was a horrible experience because on one side we need to deal with the pain of losing my love ones ,on the other hand , i felt like the hospital are not sympathetic at all… it was their fault for causing my popo’s death yet they are being so cruel!

from then onwards, i started to be very fearful over certain things!

1. packing of your belongings to leave the company ( i was so depressed when i packed my stuffs and left the previous company_

2. the hospital/operation theatre including ICU

3. death/funerals/dead bodies/ghost/coffins/undertakers

to an extend , i did not enter the room my grandma used to stay when she visits my house for more than 2 years!!!!!!!! just imagine not having to walk near this room ( in my house) for two years… yeah ..that’s how fearful am i …

it took me a lot of courage before i enter that room again after two years… thanks to my psychology background , i knew how to deal with it … now , i’m fine! but i still have this weird feelings when i enter…

same goes to popo’s room in Johor … i’ve never entered it since her death … i miss my popo but i just do not know how to handle my fear… well, it is the same for gong gong’s room also … never stepped into it anymore!

i should be thankful says mum because we can afford to demolish the whole building to rebuild the house/room , those poorer people have to just bear with it and even sleep on the beds/wear the clothings of the dead person …

i do not like the idea of setting up the wake and funeral at home , because it is so scary and how am i going to live in that house after the event ?luckily (choi! touch wood) this had never happened to me! ( both my grandparents don’t stay with us and they have their own house, so funerals were set up in their house)

today , my colleague is leaving the company … seeing her packing her stuffs, just reminded me so much of the scene where my have to pack popo’s stuffs at the hospital as well…

this is not a nice feeling .. it is just weird … I’m feeling a lil’ emo too … i want to be sayang-ed …i’m missing my family … oh no ….

Fantasize

Posted under bla bla bla by Blur Angel on Friday 20 June 2008 at 10:54 am

As u guys should know i have been doing alot of site inspections to major hotels for the company’s upcoming event!

But to make myself more motivated, i often pretend or more like imagine the site inspection for my own use i.e my wedding ! hahahaha…. siao right?? * this is what the other associate of mine does also!hhaha*
no choice … cos site inspection is so boring! plus having to visit so MANY hotels (i mean more than 10) , it gets worse and worse!! then when they send in the proposals, i will again compare it as though it is for my wedding dinner….

and i was calculating , on average it is SGD100 per pax ( before tax) … so round up , it will be about SGD 110 per pax! that’s for western 4 course meal , Chinese banquets will be more costly! i wonder how many visitors will i have for my wedding dinner! but but but it is so so so so costly!!

will the guest give more than SGD150 for redpackets then i will earn , anything less will make me loose money! who says wedding dinner is a way to earn money? this is so wrong!!!!!

so far , I’m quite impressed with 2 hotels in town, they have superb ballrooms and guest rooms!! :) i like i like!!

BUT , by the time i get married ( which will only happen years later) i will need to do site inspection again …

talking to which , my cousin will be getting married this coming week! hahaha but my dear papa is on a business trip hence , no one will be representing my family ! *sssshhhh, i secretly told mum not to waste time attending but she claims that must give face worr*

so , if u need any help with local hotels ( i mean ballroom bookings/selections not room bookings) ..let me know ok ??

* and the buffet lunch offered to us by this particular hotel taste HORRIBLE!!*

Posted under myself, bla bla bla by Blur Angel on Thursday 19 June 2008 at 11:01 am

recently ,

I’ve been quite dead ….

i mean …

i still hang out with friends , i still shop , i still go out for movies, chilling blablabla…

but i feel like my life is quite miserable…

it feels like .. as though I’m so lost and i am just wasting my time on unnecessary stuffs…

job - it is alright , i know work load will reduce tremendously after i change my title … :) which is good … i’ve finally decided to forgo the Management Associate position because i know my final destination will going back to my home country - my lil’ kingdom .. so in that case, marketing is the main thing in my future! thus , i will go into marketing now given the chance… mr.Wong is 100% supportive in this case…

relationship/friendship- still the same , i’m single and available , enjoying the moments being pampered and loved! i misunderstood a friend , i thought she didn’t want to keep in touch anymore since i called her many times but she mentioned that she was busy , i sort of gave up contacting her till last week , i called her up again and she apologized as she was really busy with her grandma’s funeral, sorry girl ! :) Other friends from Aussie , HK , Msia , Canada, Singapore etc etc , still keeping in touch .. i’m really happy about it !

financial - i thought I’ll not ask mummy for money anymore but … i failed! i made her transfer money over to me! because i needed cash ! that’s said .. but again … this is because i am still not used to supporting myself and the life here is tough!!  Accommodation part is way too much …. having to eat out daily is also a pain … I’m getting sick of these food… maybe i should change my lifestyle soon , i should really get a slow cooker and start boiling soup and leong char ( herbal tea) … :) in away , i can save a lot too and healthier !

lifestyle - every Friday/Saturday night will be my party night , i will not return home till after 3 am !! I’ve been doing that for the past couple of weeks …. Sunday is now healthy lifestyle day whereby I’ll go to the gym in the morning ! weekdays i’ll try to go twice too .. :) I’m loving my gym , really !! what do i do so late early in the morning ? we normally go for dinner , movie , chill , beach , chill again , chit chat till morning lo ..boring but very relaxing! i like …

Shopping - yea i shop alot , but i didn’t buy … why ? cos i am financially unstable now.. i do not want to waste couple thousand dollars for no reason and get mysef into trouble!! save for the rainy days ..that’s what i always believe …

i am going home soon !!! 4th of July, i can’t wait..really can’t wait ….  sorry for the long post… i just felt like blablabla-ing
