Yes I know.
SOrry Folks.
Tired and very much pre-occupied from work and school projects.
yeah yeah... always the same excuses but it's pretty much wat i am getting.
i'm still at war at my evil section manager who still works at igniting my fiery temper.
No idea why, but the mere sight/sound of him can really start my kettle whistling (boiling).
Hate him. Curse him. Wish he was gone from the face of earth.
I haven really been able to enjoy a nice little peace and quiet recently as projects and exams and more work keep popping up. exhausting heh.
Right now, at this very moment, has me thinking about when i can go for holiday break. ARGH. Deep down i knew the answer. Not so Soon.
My annual leave have been almost used up by now with my exam dates and project rush periods.
Drats.
CURSES!! as wat mojojojo would say.
Now I hurt and sting from my infamous PMS, snapping at everyone who crosses my path. Tis not a desirable trait and i'll try to curb tt foul temper of mine.
Everytime the phone rings, it automatically shoots up a notch in my temperature.
Everytime tt moronic manager comes over to pass me work, there goes the thermometer.
ARGH.
I'm finishing my last paper on the 16 Nov, the exact same date that Marcus dear is leaving for Sydney.
OH yah. so it leaves me time to go frolicking on my own. WOW. Thanks. Alot.
Anyways, in case if u're asking wat this post is for, well, clearly, it's for me to stash my trash. Get it?

The "Best Superior" in the World
I guess being filled-up and happier, does take a leaf from the saying “A Hungry man is An Angry man”.
Wat was I so pissed about??
Fine. I’ll tell you.
That idiocy of that moron (my section manager) managed to ruffle my feathers so much this morning that I could not help but maintain that very obvious & ugly crease on my forehead and a continuous chant of murmured curses all morning at work.
First thing in the morning, I was greeted with the world’s stinkiest breath…*GASP* he really should be nominated for the Guinness World of Records. I’ll even vote for it, that is if they allow votes.
No one can really understand Y he chose to do nothing about it. He did mentioned the fact that his wife was complaining about his bad breath, AND HE HAD THE AUDICITY TO ACTUALLY AFFIRM THAT FACT WITH US?!?! My God. I would have thought he was handicapped of his smelling senses if I haven’t known him. For goodness sake, jus go smell yr bloody mouth, and don’t u dare give me the excuse that u have sinus and thus is allowed an exception!!! I WILL NOT BUY THAT CRAP!! SINUS IS NOT A PERMITTANCE TO HAVING BAD BREATH TT BAD. AND MY SINUS HAVEN FUDDLED MY SMELLING SENSES!!!
Alright cool it… whew. Swear it was my angry half tokking.
Anyways, just to add on to the fact that he stinks like hell, some ex-colleague actually gave him a mug to drink from(he nvr drinks water, and that’s y he stinks like crap) and u know wat he did with it?? He left it somewhere in the office pantry and he continues his practice of not-ever-drinking-from-morning-til-nite. God forbid.
Alright. Now for wat he really did that threw me into a ferocious rage that could have been worthy of a lion. (no ivan, not your kind of roar)
…
..
.
I guess it might have been my heck-care attitude towards him, or the lack-of-respect face that I used to show him. Oh wait, they both mean the same thing.
Ok. Yeah. I have not been a good subordinate to him (Like he had been a “Year’s Best Manager” to the rest of us in our dept)…
BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE HIM HAVE THE RIGHT TO PILE WORK ONTO ME LIKE NOBODY’S BUSINESS!!!!!!
U’re right perhaps, that subordinates are to do wat their superiors ask of them. Oh, but have I mentioned the fact that, I am the only one from my dept to endure the brutality of having 3 piles of work that are so unduely passed on to, and no one else, I repeat, no one else had to have additional pilings?!?! And oso, the fact that the other colleagues are having lesser work than before, and I am the one to take the load from them?!
The one and only one.
Yep.
Me.
Wat justice is there?! All because I haven been all nicety to him??????????
(I couldn't help it at all u know. He reeks too much of his breath that his mere walk-by had me holding my breath...)
F***ed-up system.
I detest him, that slimey worm. TT’s so much more injustice that he had done, but too much for me to put into words to continue weaving these post.
I’ll have to leave it here then.
Whew.
Feeling so much better now.
P.S: Seriously i can't see how his wife can take so much crap-smelling.
She must have the world's most powerful sinus, to be able to get intimate with tt stinkbomb.
Eeeeuuu.... gross to the max.

Time-Out
swamped with tonnes of work and studies, with no time to slack anymore.
alright... i do make time to slack huh... lots.
Time is running out b4 i reach the end of my trimester. I need more sands in the hourglass to do this, to do that.
ARGH.
U know how it is like when there u r having so much to do, and here u have so much things to enjoy. I rather be playing than working u know. Tis a fact. I'm a born slacker. Not that normal pple loves work la. But I'm the extreme case of "I HATE WORK!" syndrome.
~ ~ ~
Well well, if it ain't the usual ramblings of a lowly employee who have peanuts for her salary. U think everyone enjoys wat they're doing?? Quit wasting your precious office hrs and pls for goodness sake, get back to work!!
~ ~ ~ ~
Ok ok... Juz to drop a notice on my sad blog on Y I'll be so pre-occupied and can't possibly find time to update for a while.
Well, the Norm. Work, School, Social ......
And the SIMS 2!!!
Hohoho...
Dun miss me when I'm gone...

Super Size Scary.
I hadn't count on my Kazaa to Download that documentary as there was really a limited no. of users who actually had the video file. But I'm sure glad I've gotten it, since I had missed the opportunity to actually see it at the cinemas.
ok. enuf of the piracy stuff. it's not the issue for today.
I think, that pple shld actually go watch it. Even if they dun have to.
It's really a fight btw the huge food corporations and a minority of health freaks(who actually know their foods) and the documentary though good, is a mere tiny step to victory.
I'm not going to ban Macdonalds entirely frm my life though, cos in the first place, i dun eat their food more than once a mth. sometimes, once in a few mths. As much as I deem Macs as EVIL, I think that we can live with evil some times, as the usual saying of "balance btw good and evil".
It ain't that bad in Singapore where I live as there is no Super size option like in the U.S., and though there is the upsizing option available, it's not a fave amongst us, not-so-giant Asians. Like for me, a petite(?) 5ft2, weighing 45kg, i prefer to have the normal size which is like 4 times smaller than the U.S version, or if i ever order the up-sized meal, it's becoz I'm sharing it with someone. Personally, I think that the U.S super sized meal will be ample for my whole day's of breakfast lunch and dinner!!
Oso, a difference I've noticed btw the U.S and Singapore, is that becoz of the cultural differences, becos Asians are still more conscious of their own appearances, not able to live with the "fat" status, we have this need of bringing down our weights instead of the Americans' way of "jus live with it" & "be happy with yrself".
Not that I'm saying Singapore is totally safe from Macs, the children here are still very affected. Obese Sing-children tripping over themselves becoz they can't see the ground, as i speak. But for adults, the thing that affects most is actually the dieting/slimming centres rather than the EVIL Ronald Mcdonalds. Y would they pay hundreds and thousands of dollars just so that they can get fat at MACs?? The adults are safe here, due to the constant need to be reed-thin. Thin is Beautiful.
OK. getting back on the track.
BUT, as the documentary presented, the Americans really have difficulties in rejecting the fastfood calling. And the govt, as much as they spoke of helping the citizens in their health needs, did little to prevent the fastfoods & processed foods corporations (yes, not only Macs. Herseys & other processed foods which u tot are ok plays a part in the coup.) in taking over the world. Reason?? Becos there's too much PROFIT in it for them. Y stop it frm growing when u can reap so much frm it?? Yep. Even the Singapore govt. Come on, our National Day Parade (NDP) was proudly sponsored by KFC, and all the kids and NSmen who performed there, was weekly fed with the juicy Fat Chicken which continually dripped oil whenever i succumb to the lures of sinful KFC.
Not that the Mac Corp are not doing any reforming activities. After the documentary was shown, Macs abolished the frightening super size option. with immediate effect. started to show health information in their websites. include Nutrition Calculator, as customers can now check out how much fats and calories and the GOOD NUTRITIONS they r getting out of the foods found in their menu. Lots of Sponsorships for Sports games, showing that "healthy side" of Macs, jumping ard playing balls and stuffs. lots & tonnes more of actions such as these. Yep. These are all PR. Public Relations. Their PR dept muz be really good to be making something so sinful look so good. Hey, I'm not complaining. I've got lots to learn frm them.
But can fast food really be healthy?? Image can be easily shaped by a good PR manager, u and I know. But can Fast food really be a healthy choice for meals??
Quoting the August Issue of the Fortune Magazine, Mr Matthew Boyle wrote,
" Two hormone-free, grass-fed beef patties.
Special low-cal, nonfat sauce. Organic red-leaf lettuce.
Reduced-fat cheese. Low-sodium pickles. Vidalia onions.
On a low-carb, multigrain bun.
Yeah, right."
Words can be so manupulative. Now we know. From a normal Mac burger consisting of more than needed amount of fats, a nice phrasing of descriptive wordings can make it sound so healthy. hey. dun laugh. it does work with some customers.
But again, let's face the truth. For here is the most powerful stumbling block of all when it comes to getting pple to eat healthier fast food. Despite the fact that there are so many issues concerning the world's health problems going on, most of us don't really want to eat healthier when we walk into a fast-food establishment.
...
..
.
True?
Do u by any means go into mcdonald's to order merely a Mcsalad?? oh yah, and even if u do, do u know a Mcsalad contains as much sugar content as a big mac?? well, now u know. In U.S, the salads are named as Premium Salads. In Oz, Salad Plus with their slogan, "nothing over ten grams of fat."
Oh, Really?? is that supposed to be good??? Is that juz wat we need????
hah.
fat hope.
it's more than wat we need.
ALright alright... Think I'm getting biased here.
I need to go get a mac to stabilise my confused mind.
For yr info,
I'm kidding.

It's Been Some Time...
OK... only been a week plus. no biggie.
Been busying with lots. Frequent dizzy spells due to over-exposing my tired eyes to the evil computer monitor radiating harmful rays. My PR assignment thats due in 2 days. My planned schedule of driving classes (which i haven the determination to undergo yet.) Too many things to do, too little time.
Speaking of my PR assignment, I'm suppposed to do an issues paper (not tissue paper for goodness sake!) on McDonald's Corporation. Yeah... the Anti-Macs issues... McLibel and the movie, Super Size Me. I for one, am not against this lucrative fastfood industry, considering the fact that I actually love their fries.. yum... with mayo and garlic chilli, oh yes... and the fish mcdippers, succulent and juicy, dipped in a variety of sauces, wasabi and BBQ... The burgers ain't that fantastic as compared to the burgers frm Burger King, but they do a better job in satisfying me than the ones frm KFC... hmmm.... *licking my lips*
okok... enuf of fantasizing those juicy treats. I need to focus here.
After endless research (stretched so long cos i constantly avoided to begin doing real work) and that horrible due date picking up his chase on me, I finally experienced that loss of time which somehow wasn't visible in my first month of studies... haiz... old habits die hard... I'm still the same as before, not willing to start working hard earlier than a few days b4 due... Bad.
I'll like to be blogging about my article here, but, i do remember that I am supposed to be busy at work right now...
GTG.

A (whining) Letter to MarcBoi-in-OZ
I presume that u r currently sailing in the air, across the sea to Down Under.
High chance of u dozing off in that comfortable seat, stretched out and contented after a hearty meal of airplane food (which i assume is still palatable).
Oh.. Probably not before a good show of the new seasons of Friends or the F1 rally screening onboard. A small bottle of wine? Or some dessert??
All that and the enthusiam which u showed while counting yr days to departure for OZ, I do think U r having a great time already.
Oh, go on. Enjoy yrself and forget about me will ya?
Well, I shall make myself busy and busier, so that i'll have no time for the seemingly-endless wait for yr return. Or perhaps some time in the clubs, waking the party animal within. Or, maybe some new activities such as the Salsa classes where I need a partner for the cha-chas where we can shake a hell-of-a-booty. Ooh... How about going shopping with a bunch of galfrens, till we run dry of resources??
oh well, seems better if i juz stay busy working and studying, doing housechores in the duration of my mom's absence, slogging away for projects and assignments, with no life...
oh my goodness.
i whine way too much at once.
Pardon me.
I'm tired, love-sick, PMSsy, and freaking way behind time...
Wat m i doing here???
k
Ciaos.

Not too good
Can't help but apologise.
Still tired after my Cousins left, despite the fact that I have had more peace these days... OOPS. haha... (no la.. I miss u guys...)
Work n Studies catching up on me... Have lots to do even if it's juz the beginning of my first semester, i mean trimester, as we do things faster than normal colleges, squeezing a 6-mths semester into our compact 3-mths trimester. Yes. Oso squeezing our well-deserved 2-mths vacational break each sem, into a 1-week break each tri.
Oh well, can't really complain. After all, I'm getting my degree way faster than others studying in ther regular Us.
Getting sick quite regularly these days too... Bad. very bad. Though the MCs are GOOD, it's really bad for me to keep disappearing on my job like once a week, even if i'm not feeling too good.
Food has an upper hand on me now that i turn to it for most reasons. Esp when I get so frustrated at studies or bored at work, i tend to find things to chew n munch on. DRATS. Getting a lot of flabs, and it definitely is not fabulous...
well, gotta go. sleep is beckoning me n after tt, i've to pick up things from my fren, do revisions n assignments, prepare for projects, do house chores, etc.
jus hope i get to them.

Let's Meet Harry again!!
Tis truth i speak.
i've juz made myself an new avid fan reader (yes i'm a late bloomer) of the Harry Potter books and have finshed the 1st book which i started juz yesterday. was a wonderful floating experience, flying through that endless skies, touching the clouds and moon kind, given my love n obsession with magic and the endless impossibles, as i mentioned before.
The Philosopher's Stone was already completed in mere hrs, and me being distracted from work, i was already hankering for the second dosage of Potter's magics in the form of The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkban, The Goblet of Fire, and The Order of the Phoenix.
I have watched the movies of the first 3 installations. but not wanting to miss anything from the original, i was "forced" to take up the real shit with the paperback books costing 14 bucks each, discounted already from Popular.
So, the conclusion of this blog?
Pls forgive and do not seek me during my absence as i retreat into oblivion, seeking solace and my inner peace with the makings of a great wizard...
As if anyone would miss me...
A Whale of a time at East Coast!!
Out of action for a week plus.
Been busy frolicking about for my bday…
Big deal u say.
Well, it isn’t really a biggie, but I do like the fuss made over my 21st bday.
And I really liked the way it turned out to be. Lotsa happenings.
Very very interesting indeed. At the chalet.
I had a 3 days 2 nights chalet at the Costa Sands East Coast which I rented it cheap thru my Company @ juz 65 bucks for the whole stay. Yeah man…
The first day n night was fun with cycling and yakking and stupid things which gang n I love to do… Since Xuehua has already blogged about it I her blog, I shall link up with her blog so u guys who are interested in wat happened on the first day, can see things thru those “rose”-colored glasses of hers… www.xuehua.blogspot.com
Yep. Skipping all the way to the next day, where everyone were groggy and sleepy from the wild night of boozing n screaming.
Mayz went to work from there, after we managed to wake her up my imitating lotsa weird sounds (vomitting sounds to be exact), n NOT manage to put her back to sleep when she was trying to keep awake to prepare for work...
The 4 remaining: me & marcboi, XH & Fred.
We tried to make some breakfast out of the grubby can food n squashed up bread we brought along. Thankfully, it turned out ok, though not heavenly.
X n F left after a while of wrestling mania from Marc n Moi. Yeah yeh.. u know it. I lost. But.
I’ll win the next time. Just u wait.
The day n chalet was pretty much to the 2 of us. Went cycling to Macs n drizzle turned into rain, so we took shelter at McCafe. Me first time there, was pretty ok I guess.
Rain ceased n we went on our quiet Sunday afternoon to the chalet.
I wanted to go fishing at the expensive-n-not-worth-it shrimp fishing stall, located jus next to our rented room. 13 bucks for a rod per hr. so basically u juz pay good money to sit there n wait for stupid fishes or shrimps to hook up. Oh, I was thinking that they probably trained the preys to jump on the hooks and get caught once per hr or so. Make the unsuspecting customers get an addiction for catching them and continue paying tribute to sit there n wait. Cos I realised that the customers were always the same pple whom I spotted there so enthusiastically waiting since mornin.
BUT,
I still wan to try….. (didn’t get my chance however since the commando boy wasn’t giving me a choice when he firmly escorted me past the stall everytime I tried to “stray” there…)
Anyways, the night was injected with mahjong and drinking (milder this time, I’ve learnt my lesson) games, when Janice n Jenson (the Jans) dropped in. I lost quite a lot. Like always. But the Jans were real sweet to “give me face” becoz of my bday, n not pursue me for the pay-back. Thanks.
Oh ya, not to forget, the present that the Jans and Jared & Elin got for me. An ultra mini skirt with a nice stripey halter top. All in delightful pink. The hottest color of the season, Janice mentioned. I like them both. I've always wanted to get a mini skirt, but being a tomboy-kind, my courage often deserts me when on my shopping sprees, as i chicken out on trying the minis on. BUT, the mini is alittle too much on the mini side….. ha..ha… (laughs nervously) Do i really have to wear it to club on yr bday??
Another bout of wrestling tt night. with Janice and Jenson starting things off.
Janice was having a lead with Jenson under & unable to move. Then like all guys with the overgrown muscles, Jenson took charge and turned things the other way round.
Marc n I took the stage for the next round of GF vs BF wrestle mania. Having experienced that bitter loss of victory in the morning to the "MarcMan", I wasn't about to continue that line of defeat n hand triumph over to the guys on the silver platter. No can do. i'll have to use all i can muster, my courage, my anger, all my strength, my pinchy fingers, my gnawing teeth, my chipped nails... (yeah, u get the picture huh)
Victory was mine, with all those strengths in line. I won. He lost. Defeated n Battered up, he was panting and bruised(i punched him). YEAH!!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Okok. I really have to mention this.
Jackass the movie is truly a sickeningly crappy, stupid, moronic documentary put together by a group of ard 10 guys, who are as sickeningly crappy, stupid, moronic, doing idiotic, crazy shit to both themselves and pple ard them (yes, including to pple they know n not know)..
Oh ya…
And it definitely glues u to the set.
U can’t stop watching it.
Including the gals u know.
I for one, watched it 3 times at the chalet.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Alright. The night was almost over with the ending of the wrestle tournament. Janice n Jenson drove home, Marc n I fell deep to lures of the sleeping devil.
And the last day was nothing to be blogged about as we woke up and went home.
Right.
Til school i suppose. I had a good lecture of mkting communications tt evening at MIS and once again realised the goodness in schools which i missed for a year.
*sigh* i love campus life...
TO: www.jasminet.blogspot.com
CAn u believe it??
I've been well blogging for exactly a year today...
Given my 3-min-temperamental character, it's a surprise that I'm still at it.
OKs. Anyways, Here's to hoping that i'll continue the fire and passion in this blog.
(corny)
And we lived happily ever after......
