1601009:The Women

Why am I going on & on about this? What was my point here? I've gotto find out why... at this particular juncture, my whole world has come tumbling down?

I've spent an entire lifetime trying to be everything to everyone.... and somehow, somebody is always disappointed.

Leah Miller's secret of life:
Don't Give A Shit About Anybody. Be Selfish!

Becos once you ask yourself the question "what about me?"...everything changes for the better.

After all, WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?

---------

Q: What makes beauty a real beauty?

Real beauty is real authenticity & it's pretty much as simple as that. Honestly, it takes some cultivation to know who you are with all the mixed messages and different kind of cultural demands of who you should be.

A sense of humor is really a beautiful thing. Be kind to yourself.

People become beautiful when you feel their confidence. Becos it will come & it will evolve & you will see just how spectacular your "differences" are.

Becos they beautiful thing about being a woman is that we are so many things. Being a woman is a gift.

150109:article by 林夕

wonder since when does travelling agent package their tours to become a shopping tour instead of "getting to know the countries"? let's dont talk about Tokyo, but Hong Kong for intense.

why does tourists visit HK? It is the Asian's shopping kingdom!!! Since when HK promotes their culture, heritage, traditions & etc...instead it is about entertainments, shopping...

when hongkies got bored shopping in HK, they will plan their shopping towards Tokyo or the Europe if their saving allows... my colleagues plan their annual leaves to spend their money in Tokyo to buy those so called "limited edition" fashion stuff. they would even spend couple of hundred to buy a really poor quality tshirt with a designer's signature on it... i mean, does it actually worth buying? is that wat limited edition meant to be? so what if you get the limited edition? who actually care?

i bought a teapot 10yrs back in taiwan which i tot it was unique, as i return to HK, i hardly use it. infact, everywhere on the street sells teapot. ppl buy things from overseas as souvinir, majority will most likely ended up at their store room or even got lost somewhere in the house, just like my teapot... i dono where i have placed it.

man works hard for better pay, but pay will commonly spent to buy something that is not worth to buy. or perhaps it is the feeling of satisfaction.

140109:compass directions

browsed thru the newspaper, came accross with a page relating to re-positioning objects in your home may help to achieve better career, wealth, health, relationship...

therefore, i questioned on the home directions... without much hesitation, the home directions was drawn like this....

i was confident enough to voice out that i was taught to remember the directions by N.E.W.S during my geography class


after a little arguement on the N.E.W.S or N.W.E.S.... we brought in the golden compass...& it says N.E.W.S.

without admitting, she decided to quickily turn the paper 180* claiming she was right with the directions...

hahaa.....as long as she gets her E. S. right, she can just ignore the rest :P that shows "Don't argue with boss, cos boss is Always Right!"

140109:been to hell day

was browsing thru newspaper at the office, mrs doubtfire waved at me & invited me to join her in a meeting room. without doubt, i washed my hands & join her.

there were 1 old woman in greyish white hair, 1 specky young lady, tank & mom in that meeting room. the moment i walked in, mrs doubtfire stood up & excused herself, left the room.

i sat down & noticed that i have got FUCKING PUNKED BY MRS DOUBTFIRE !

it was a product sales talk about their clothings can HEAL any sickness, which the ppl commented is a magic scam clothings at online forum!

anyway, it was conducted in mandarine thru out the meeting, even the slideshows & videos. after 20mins, tank received an intercom & he walked out of the room while the greyish white hair woman continued to elaborate on her product miracles which can heal various types of sickness.

time flies another 20mins later, the specky young lady asked me for the direction to the loo. so i stood up & ascotted her. Meanwhile, the greyish white hair lady continue looking at the laptop screen presenting to herself on the users who witness the products.

while waiting for the specky lady, i walked to mrs doubtfire's room & wonder....

me: are u interested to know & buy the product.

mrs doubtfire: no la, just giving face to my friend, we already have! just let her finish & go!

me: but.... she is still at her chapter 5 only, i dont think she will wanna go....


so then i ascotted the specky lady back to the meeting room after like.. a 5min break? & we went back in to continue chapter 6....

when she was at chapter 9.. tank reappeared himself & walked into the room.

tank: sorry that we have to cut you short, but MRS. DOUBTFIRE & i have an appointment in the island at 6pm & it is already 5.15pm, we are gonna be late. i tot it was a short meeting....

grey woman: oh, i see, ok, understood. but let me show me the last thing before i go....

her handed her mouse to roll over another slideshow file & clicked!

OH FUCK!!! IT WAS THE SAME FUCKING PRESENTATION IN ENGLISH VERSION!!!!!!!! YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

& there she goes.. began the verbal presentation with supported catalogues all over again!

finally, I SPOKE!

me: ok, enough of showing supported proof. after an hour plus, WE GET THE IDEA of what your products can do...

*grey bitch continues to explain to tank....

tank: ok ok.. thank you for everything, maybe you can leave me your website, i can go search on the web and ask mrs doubtfire to contact this young lady if we would like to purchase. we really need to go by now, the bridge gonna be in big jam already... my SIS & I need to go now!

i stood up & went to grab my bags & walked out of the building! while tank already hopped into his harrier. he picked me up & drifted out the guard house!!!!!!!!!!! till now, we hide ourselves at home & wrote this blog.

*tank mentioned "mrs doubtfire & i got a meeting"... at first.
**tank said "sis & i got to go now!"... at last.

130109:13 january 2009

it was supposed to be my 1st day of part time this morning, instead i got up at 10am...naturally...

while doing some graphics work at home, my mind began popping out "what if" questions. what if i could turn back time, will i still be standing where i stand today?

1. what if i did not choose to study design during foundation, will i be good in commerce & understand how to run a business today?

2. what if i were less playful, will i know so many crazy idea friends?

3. what if i were little more concious, will i notice the true colour of people around me?

4. what if i were to stand for myself to work in australia for 2 yrs, will i still be working in australia today?

5. what if i were to start my career in australia, will i be the creative director or still be a designer?

6. what if i were still in australia, what kind of lifestyle will i have? will i be travelling to many places?

7. what if all the above were true, will i be enjoying my actual life more than now?

8. what if i were to accept truth at early stage, will i still be typing this?

so many what if to ponder... simple as that, i guess i am not being optimistic on what i have today... could it be due to no sense of security? confidence? goal?

120109:boohoo... vs woohoo!!...

boohoo part I: it was an early start for monday morning, been ages that i have to get up at 7am on a weekday & begin my journey to drive all the way to jam on the bridge, god damn it! >_<"

boohoo part II: filled in 6 pages of form, submitted all docs as per requested & meeting began. conclusion, it was a waste of time & a "95tab8" meeting for a wrong position required.

boohoo part III: felt so disappointed when i was turned down by an interesting career path, sigh... perhaps god has a better plan than this? *pray*

boohoo part IV: stood there to choose for the best quality of a top @ FOS, ended up it has defect.

however, when things started to boohoo more... i guess there were still little things that could cheer me up... tank carried the whole luggage of fashion clothings that we bought from spore last week & also managed to claim back the GST worth SGD70 from the airport...KACHING KACHING KACHING!!!! WoOHoO!~

080109:Buddy, Lover, Spouse

read an interesting article from the newspaper, explaining that man & woman have different needs of friends, which concluded the 3 importance ones are:

Man: a Wife, a Lover, a Red Buddy 红颜知己
Woman: a Hubby, a Lover, a Blue Buddy 蓝颜知己

Spouse
means a person who you share all the responsibilities and to build a family with. After couple of years, even though he/she is outstation for a week, you would not have to worry so much on each other.

Lover
means a person who would most likely to please you physically with the exciting, wild & fun moments, which a hubby/wife would no longer do after having a 'family' (including kids, home, installments plans & etc). If he/she were away for 3 days, you will go crazy calling him/her hourly.

Buddy
means a person who support you mentally & emotionally when you faces problems with your hubby/wife and lover. He/she is also a person that you share most secret with as they are always the best listener and seems to provide u the best solutions. When buddy is not around, you will feel something is missing somewhere, just like a missing soul.

at the end of the last paragraph, the writer commented that, man/woman would wish that someday the buddy can become their lover. however, realistically it will never happen. And a lover will never be as responsible as a hubby/wife would be. Lastly, a spouse could barely provide what a buddy & lover would...
