I Don’t Love You

Well, when you go
Don’t ever think I’ll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I’ll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe
You’re still the good-for-nothing I don’t know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

When you go
Would you even turn to say
“I don’t love you
Like I did
Yesterday”

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby when they knock you
Down and out
It’s where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar’s just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up

Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whooa

When you go
Would you even turn to say
“I don’t love you
Like I did
Yesterday”

My "Eat-Non-Stop" Week

Monday, 18Feb08

Comms meeting starts at 9.30am. Met Lynne from UK, HS who is back from Dubai for two weeks and David who will be joining our team next week. It was a whole day meeting… So boring coz I have to take minutes but I learned a lot from this meeting! I just love my team and the work we do. I would say the image and profile of the company is all built up by the Comms team!
We had international lunch buffet at Amara. Nice lunch as we eat and talk and eat and talk… Then back to meeting till 5.30pm. We stayed back for dinner and went to Indochine at Empress Place. Love that place!

Shots @ Indochine:

Didn’t take many photos as I didn’t bring out my camera. These are taken from my handphone. After dinner, I was so tired. Having a bad headache too…

I thought I can have normal lunch since the day before I had really nice food for lunch and dinner. But nope… As our colleague from UK was with us, of coz we have to bring her to a nice place for lunch. We went to an Italian resturant – Pasta Bravia. This is my 2nd time to that restaurant. I like the pasta there and dessert we lurve – Lemon Sorbet! Yum!!!

Dinner…. *burps* My company held CNY dinner at Dempsey Road – Long Beach Seafood. It was a compulsory function and gotta attend. Me and Val were late coz we were stuck in the office to complete a presentation slides for an overseas colleague. But we reached the restaurant just nice to have the lou hei. It was quite a nice dinner… great seafood! Then Bei came to fetch me home. Really tired…

Lynne flying back to UK today. And so we brought her to eat Japanese food at Santaro, Amara. Forget to take pictures coz we were enjoying the yummy food. Me and Val can’t help to whine that we have been very sinful for eating throughout the past few days. Hahahaa!!! But the good thing is…. the treats are sponsored by our boss!
Lynne went to buy some farewell gifts for us. She bought this lovely pen. See!

Super busy day at work. Ding dong and lunch hour again. This time finally back to our normal foodcourt for lunch. Phew~ I wanted to skip lunch but I’m so hungry.
(To be continue….)

Holiday is over. Boo….. :(

Sighs………….. Holiday is over. Back to work in another few hours time. :(

The time now is 3.03am. I can’t sleep. Went to xiao yi’s house with ah Bao, Jam and mum. I gambled and lost about $10. Then had a nice steamboat dinner at her house before we left.

Then we drove over to see our new house. Hmm… only built to about 6 story high. We estimated that our house will be ready by mid 2009. I can’t wait to move into the new house coz this is our love nest. Hee…

I have no mood to work. Fear of going to work. Why must I have to work? Sighs… No work no money. Now everything talks money… Almost all neccessities has gone up in prices. The standard of living is higher then before. The most sucks thing is the salary still remain the same. SUX!!!

No mood for anything now. I’m going to sleep.

2008 CNY

I like this year’s lunar new year. Ha! Why eh? Because I feel that this year I have better bonding with my relatives. In the past, I barely exchange conversations with them. But this year, it seems like we become more chatty. And my young cousins all grow up so fast now… the youngest is now in sec 2. And I’m become the auntie among them coz I’m married. *bleh :P * And my cousin brother who is a pilot and we’re so envy of him coz he get to fly to every part of the world!!!

The unavoidable question to me and Bei is…. “WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING FOR BABY?”, “CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE YOUR BABY NEXT YEAR?”…. I was like… Ermm.. OKAY… Ya… planning… Yes.. planning… Ya… we are trying……

Hopefully we can have an ox baby next year! Coz Ox is our astrological ally. Give me a twin better so I don’t have to go through twice of the birth labor. Hahahhaaa!!!

I don’t really like lunar new year in general. Hardly get to rest, have to visit relatives from house to house, give angpows, entertain people and help out with the chores. And somemore I’m married now and staying with my in-laws, no matter what I still have to help out. I think I’m a lousy daughter-in-law coz I can’t cook, can’t serve, hardly help much and not thoughtful enough to know what to do/get for the occassion. Should I blame my mum for over-pampering me for the past two decades? Sighs… Seriously, I am over-pampered. I hardly do housework at home coz all are done by my mum. Just because she dote us so much and refused to let us do most of the chores. And after married, I’m such a noob. But of coz now I do my own laundry (just throw all into the washing machine. Ha!) and do cleaning every weekend.

Here are some photos taken during the visit to my 3rd aunt’s house!

With my younger cousins. All grown up now.

The fishcake that supposed to look like a mouse.
A table of food prepared by my aunt! She’s a great cook!!!

The view from 23 storey. Too bad it is going to en-bloc in a few years time.

My sister Jamie and I. Ya, we don’t look alike.

My hubby and I. Ain’t we loving? Haa…

That day, I was way under-dressed. Jam said ah Bao looked like he’s attending red carpet event (Yes, he looked so dashing with that blazer.) and I look so plain normal. Haiya… I was dead beat tired as I slept late the night before and have to wake up early and really have no mood to dress up. Sianz arrr!!!! It’s a BIG NO-NO to me!!!! That’s why I have no mood to do anything that day but binge myself with the new year goodies. *sob* Damn it lor… I feel so bloody fat now.
These are what I prepared to wear during CNY. All tops but no bottom. Argghh…

That’s all for now. To be continued….

Lazy!!!!

Finally I can squeeze some time out to blog. I have been super duper B-U-S-Y BUSY!!! OMFG… So exhausted. And the new year is coming.

9-6 job: Yes. Getting more and more busy. Been receiving more and more tasks to do. OMFG! :X Is this good? Sighs… I really think I’m not suitable to work for people. I really should work for myself. Yes be my own boss!!! I just feel that I can’t climb the corporate ladder… No… Coz one has to be scheming or should I say tactful? I am not “evil” enough to shine. Nevertheless, I quite enjoy working with my team though… Even now I’m getting loads of tasks to do. Arrrr……………………… :

PanoplyMorphic: Yeah! This is my pride! Slowly it grows and I hope it will be blossom by end of this year. Really gotta work hard to fulfill this vision. Darling Jan and I have been working like mad just to make things work. Don’t think that working on our own is easy and glamorous. Uh-uh… Not quite. There’s tons of shits to do! But we love it, don’t we? HAHAHA!!!

Haiya… gotta continue again. I need to accompany hubby to Zzzz…. He’s such a baby. LOL!!!

Oh yes… and Happy Lunar New Year! :)
