introducing baby katie :)

here's my wee niece, about 3 hours old, in her grandma's arms :)

anyway, i'm really tired and not in the mood again, so i'm gonna get ready for bed.

cruisy weekend? more like shitty weekend..

is it the weather that's affecting me, or other stuff like, stressing about starting a proper job or the fact that my room is in a mess and i cannot accept it, or is it because i'm in a shitty mood?

ugh! i just feel like cleaning the whole damn place down but aiya, what's the point? it'll get dirty and messy again soon! i tidied my room yesterday, and now i have clothes strewn all over the floor again :(

and fuckdamnwit, i have no breakfast for tmr morning and i'm working at 5am. great...soo great. of course, i could always take a drive to foodtown or even walk there, but do i really want to risk my parking spot when lantern festival and starlight symphony is on tonight? and do i really look like a walking kinda person to you?

oh PFFFTTTT! i'll just starve myself or drink some milk at work and sit in the toilet and suffer from lactose intolerance for the rest of my working hours.

gah i hate hate hate this weekend! everything just didnt fall in place. i do something, it turns around to shoot me back in the face or runs back to bite me on my ass.

and guess what? my ipod just synced itself with my itunes on my new laptop. which means, my 2gb of music collection has now been reduced to...227mb. oh GREAT.......................................

shitfuckscratchkillkillkilllllllll!!

i think i've lost interest in blogging..but i'll blog every now and then.

till then, mwah!

so valentine's day and my birthday came and went..how time flies!

on valentine's day, we didn't do much. it's just another day..but stefan cooked teppanyaki for us at his place, and that was one yummy meal! should've taken some photos before i stuffed my face silly, but hey, i was really hungry and the meal looked darn good. why waste time taking photos right?

on my actual birthday, i had a flat warming with my workmates. 6 ppl pulled out that evening so it was a rather quiet one, but fun nonetheless. there's no such thing as "NO FUN" when it comes to my workmates. RB made me a cake and it's really pretty!

(i dont have time to post pics up now but wil hopefully do it over the weekend or something)

saturday came along and i met up with tina and lucy in newmarket. tina got her lower left conch pierced and it looks really cool. then we came back to my place, did some catching up, had dinner and then waited for guests to arrive. went clubbing for an hour and then took a cab home because stefan and myself were really tired, and stefan's sick and tired of drinking and clubbing.

that whole night, i had half a long island tea, 2 glasses of wine and a juice+vodka mix. got a little tipsy after a few sips of the long island tea but sobered up before i got home.

overall, i think since moving out, i've been behaving pretty well. haven't had much to drink compared to the 2 girls (cough cough), only been out clubbing once since new year's and even managed to put aside some money for savings! i think the flat's doing pretty well, minus the occassional bickering/ bitching with each other but we always end up in fits of laughter anyway.

anyhoo, it's 7minutes past my bedtime. will update again soon. tata!

ps: if you are really worried about me, then tell me what you're worrying about.

*screams at top of lungs* I HAVE A NEW JOB and it's the job i really wanted!

WOOHOO! go me :D

lol. i'm leaving my current job wed of next week so if you wanna come say hi to me at the pools, do so quickly :p

cant wait to start my new job! WAHEY!

sometimes you should stop talking and listen...

i got into an argument today with a guy who was rather rude to me. what happened was, a girl about 8 (lets call her mary) was swimming in a pool. while mary was swimming, 2 boys were racing in the lane and they swam past her, pretty much getting her caught between them

mary's father was standing right beside me, and when it happened, he yelled out to me "OI! DID YOU SEE WHAT?! WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING?! OI! HEY! OI!!!!" so i looked at him and almost rolled my eyes, then i spoke back to him saying "why are you telling me off? i saw what they did, and i'm going to tell them not to do it again. there is no need to be so rude to me - i wasn't the one who did wrong"

and mary's dad got utterly pissed off at me and started going off at me saying "THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 MINUTES AND YOU JUST LET THEM SWIM UP AND DOWN IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. WHEN I TELL THEM OFF, THEY DON'T LISTEN!"

at that point, i walked off, told the kids off to swim properly then went back to the spot i was standing at and thought to myself - wtf did i do?! why did i let him yell at me like that? he has no reason to be so rude to me.

so i went to call for me senior, who was in charge at that time. i told him exactly what happened and and he was fuming - he's the kind of guy who doesnt like people who treat girls badly. anyway, he approached mary's dad and asked if everything was ok, and guess what? mary's dad started to go off at him and he was SO rude too! at that point, they were both arguing rather loudly and most swimmers have stopped to see what's going on.

mary's dad kept saying that i told him "why are you telling me to tell the kids off?" when i clearly said "why are you telling me off?". guess that's what happens when you dont listen and just try to get our message through.

10 minutes later, mary's dad apologized to me and to my senior for behaving badly..hmm...

anyway, after that was sorted, my senior pulled me to the side and asked me if i knew why that guy was being so rude to me - apparently, it was because of culture barrier and selfishness. culture barrier because...in his culture, they have no respect for women (i wont say where he's from) and he didnt like it when i answered him back for telling me off so rudely. and as for selfishness, he wanted everything to work around his daughter mary.

for example, it was ok for mary to dive, but not for other people. hmm..go figure.

oh well, at least he apologised at the end. what a waste of time though. funny thing was, a lady swimmer came up to me later and said "gosh is he stupid or what?!" hahahaha

so, the moral of the story is, you need to listen what other people is trying to tell you as well - dont just try to get your point across and ignore everything else. and another thing is, have respect for everyone, regardless if they're male or female.

bored to death...

i think i totally fluked my phone interview with asb

there goes one of my job opportunities!

:(

>.<

i feel like crap. i blame it on pms. i was so tired last night that 3 seconds into lying down in bed, i fell asleep. and i was snoring at night too. heh...

i woke up early to move my car into the garage this morning and when i got back, i couldnt really fall asleep again. which is a good thing i suppose, since i have a phone interview at 11am. i dont want my interviewer to ring me and hear me croaking over the phone like a grumpy frog!

you know, all these interviews are driving me nuts. i wish they dont take so long and have less stages! i honestly cant wait until i land a job i would really enjoy...

anyway, i'm gonna go have some pick-me-up and have a coffee to wake up a little and get my brain going, else i'll sound like a useless blonde for my interview.

ps: will try to do a post about my australia trip soon!
