Everybody loves Raymond

Everyone adores you. So much so you wouldn't even realise, nor does it bother you, that you have lost a fan along your journey to "fame". Blinding perhaps, cause you have so much more on hand and there's absolutely nothing to lose, you think.


Came across this unprofessional local advertising firm while looking for a job switch. Was offered a position at the company but remembered bout the year end bonus. So actually tried my luck to ask for 2 months' notice instead which obviously is impossible. Told you I was just trying my luck. And I told her to let me know again with regards to that but she ignored. Even the email I sent her 2 days later. Gave her a call at the end of the week and the shocking news I got from her was she had gotten another girl but yet to confirm with her. Totally speechless for that few seconds. Again, she didn't bother to get back to me after that, got a reply from her though, after I had emailed her again after the call. Was so prepared to forgo my bonus and join the company cause it's not easy for a IT diploma holder to get a Mass Comm graduate's job ok. So alright, it wasn't up to me to be picky, but at least have the courtesy to let me know her thoughts or outcome and could still discuss right! Anyway, now that things have turned kinda ugly, no point for me to hang on to this. SO UNPROFESSIONAL! Makes my blood boil! Thank god I haven't mentioned anything to my boss or HR regarding the bonus stuff. Almost let slip.

*Sigh* Another illusory state of happiness.

Never gonna let this fighting spirit die. Gonna take a big leap and reach for the many opportunities out there waiting for me. Definitely ready for the big plunge.


Last Thursday was the last day of my part time course, and the presentation part sucked. So that was the last time for some of us to see each other. Paulene was nice enough to bring her handy camera for a class photo.

Here's our "graduation photo":



This looks quite dead. Another "informal" below. Look whose being gentleman. We had to give up the seats to the guys. Ho ho, alright they were way outnumbered by us girls.



Let's see where we go from here. All the best!

Out of my M(use)ind

Who is as crazy as to fly over to Thailand for Muse's concert?

I would.

But probably I could wait for their next concert tour in Singapore. Wasn't aware that they were here for a gig early this year.

Wasted.

Madness

I should expect some muscle aches tomorrow.

Tried running to Kembangan for tuition and back this afternoon.

At least it's some improvement that I did slightly better for the 2nd trip than the first.

Keep it up!


And this weekend will be assignment madness for me.
-Panicky-

Watch me transform!

Give me a month's time to see results.


Recently my acne problem has worsen, not sure the reason why. My habit hasn't gone through any big changes, I put more effort in my skincare regime. Miss the clear-ol'-days where I could leave the house almost naked-faced with minimal concealer.

Desperate for facials, treatments... Last resort, medication. You have to start from the root of the problem right? Ok, inside and out.

Visited The Sloane Clinic during lunch hour for consultation with the doctor. Was interested to go for their Clean & Clear Program but not after it seemed that it wouldnt be the best solution to solve my acne problem except opting for the pill. I have never liked to consume any sort of medicine because of the side effects and I don't wish to be dependant on those drugs later on. I think drugs make us dumb. Eventually I turned to the stronger Roaccutane instead of antibiotics because it is more effective, I think.

I am so determined to get rid of this problem once and for all.

Dropped by Niks Shop Salon after work to grab a few of their products. They offer Therapeutic Facials too using Niks. Thought this was quite effective as it did clear my skin after the doctor I consulted at Niks Maple Clinic (Blk 825 Tampines St 81 #01-64 Singapore 520825 Tel:6783 9038) prescribed me about a year ago. Heard from my boss and colleagues Famicare Bedok Clinic (Blk 158 Bedok South Ave 3 #01-583 Tel :6442 8373) is good too. Yet to try it myself though. (But of course I don't wish to have a chance to go to another clinic and spend a bomb again.) Changing my skincare range again. Frequent change is not advisable but I am currently doing quite a bit of that. =X Previously spent quite a bit on Bio-Essense poducts and damn my money is wasted again.

I shall accumulate all the receipts and calculate the total amount I have spent for the cure at the end of it.


Let's see if it's worth my investment a month later.

Everyone deserves something good

Five Dead-End Dating Patterns and How to Break Them

I fell into the fifth scenario, that is Crumbs:

The pattern: You're involved with a guy (who may be married) who sees you occasionally and only when it works in his schedule. For the most part, he treats you well when he's with you. If he's wealthy, he may buy you Manolos or take you out to five-star restaurants. He may be hot in bed. But he cuts you off if his wife or son needs the slightest thing. And he's never available when you need or want him. This rejection causes you a great deal of pain, yet you think that overall it's a good deal. You spend a lot of time thinking and fantasizing about him: how he's going to leave his wife or cut back on his work schedule and be with you in a rose-covered cottage or on the beach in Maui. In your heart of hearts, you know that day will never come, but you're afraid to act on that knowledge. Although you'd never admit it, even to your best friend, you believe that this second-class status is the very best you'll ever be able to get and you're damn lucky to have it.

The fix: Give up the crumbs and take a seat at the banquet table. First, break up with him. Then make a rule: I only date men who are (a) available and (b) crazy about me (for real). Try this on for size, even if it means spending time with guys who "aren't good enough" but who treat you like royalty. You need to learn what it really means to be loved.


Almost very similar, except for the treats part. =/ Yea, what do the men take us for? We girls deserve better than this. This is called respect alright.

Know what I suddenly remembered the other night when there were water droplets left on my hands after washing. It was you wiping them off on/with your pants/hands. So sweet that it made me smile.
