today, i was happily peeping at strangers' smsing on the train again. it's really a joy trust me, especially if they're conversing with their bfs or gfs. :D strange things people say...
anyway, this victim of privacy invasion by me was this guy.... actually i didnt even get a clear look at the msges but im quite sure his friend sent something like "very pek chek (i.e. frustrating)..." there was more but i couldnt read in such a flash. i suppose his friend was complaining about something that he/she could not manage and was most likely looking for some words of encouragement. logically and instinctively, one would just give him/her the satisfaction of some sort of reassurance the person is fishing for. anyway, guess what the guy's reply was?
"Learn to manage." In exact phrasing. i remembered, cos the msg was just this short.
wtf. wtf. -_-"" if i were his friend, i'd beat him into pulp the next time i see him. oooohkay fine it might be a good thing that he's not pretentious or whatever (since i personally do not like people to say things they dont believe in just to make me feel better as well). but at least, have a heart and not be so curt in the delivery.
if there's one thing i cannot stand more, it would be curt replies. thats no doubt one of my biggest pet peeve. seriously, i would rather you have not replied at all. sure beats trying to tolerate your bad moods please. however i know of many many many people who cannot seem to bring over any form of emotion into their texts (wont you agree with me that this happens mostly with guys?), but in real life they're not like that. so its quite strange to me.. haha. so please.... be lively if you ever sms me ok. i will reciprocate i promise!!! seeeeeeeee exclaimation marks! because i've had it with people who acts like i owe them my life or something and i know it doesnt feel great!:D
okay it's raining again.
honestly what is wrong with putting emotions into text messages or emails???? dont you want your smses to shout you? lol. i think i will really struggle to contain my emotions when i try to email at work in the future. haha, i heard from my sis that she stopped trying to be tactful and friendly (she's one of the best people to msg btw) cos noone bothers to do the same. so she hopped on to the "Best Regards" bus and apparently things get done better cos the agenda's set out. sounds bossy, but effective. sighhhh..
what's up with best regards man. why do people even use it. it's the single most pretentious phrase to end off an email with. i could settle for a Thanks!, or cheers... better than this stupid act formal phrase. best regards is literally, a slap to the face. you know what i read when i see that everytime? it practically means heck you can die for all i care.
its just sad that formality is how we judge professionalism to be. come on, its important in the corporate world to establish good relationships and networks. so it's time to introduce some smileys and exclaimations marks and CAPS LOCK if necessary. i will start the trend!:D
ooooh christmas celebration tmr at the finance department. i hope im invited LOL. i wanna win the upapa!!!

random thoughts from work
in case you guys dont know that im back in the working world.. well, i am. haha. back to the data entry days and the nostalgic feeling of dreading every work day, not wanting to go to bed cos you know when u wake up its time for work again.
oh well, everything is a new learning experience. a good exposure. 4 days in, here are some random stuff to share, in point form so as to be abit more light hearted and not too lengthy
1. i reaaaaally dont wanna lose my eyes to the computer
2. i might develop an accent soon.... with prolonged exposure to all the expats in the firm. would be better if i could talk to them... but i dont. lol
3. it's impossible for HR to be strategic... at least not right now. what was BH226 about again?
4. why are old ladies in a particular department especially (guess which one!!) grumpy?
5. i eavesdrop on every conversation that reaches my ears, big and small. they entertain me.
6. it feels weird typing on my nice keyboard after using the laupok compaq laptop for a week
7. it sucks to be part of the morning rush. AND evening peak hour period.
8. i've renewed, actually no... more like intensified my hobby of peeping at strangers smsing on the train. especially appreciative of sony ericsson phone users. *likes* not much to do on the train....
9. i have a favourite toilet in the office. there are only 2 cubicles, but somehow i always have to go to that particular cubicle because the other one is occupied. i guess it likes me too :)
10. some office people are really quite pretentious.
11. they speak to measley employees (i dont mean myself cos im just too harmless) in the tone that will kill, but a totally opposite behaviour towards the boss or other expats. they are like puppies. tsktsk. barks.
shit im feeling so bitchy/gossippy today. spent over an hour talking bad about celebrities :( thanks to mr shawn ng HF. tsktsk. he's a gossip boy (who watches gossip girls) lah seriously. and YAY i found a potential buddy at work! woohoo. so happie.
hopefully tomorrow iluma wont be packed! altho most likely yes according to mervin. session tomorrow with him muaha. omg turning into a gaming addict or some sort. haiyo.

And the good thing about exam is.....
A simple 'jiayou for your exams' turned fun and hilarious outing. I like...:D one of the best days in recent hair pulling extravaganza. Looking forward to more of such spontaneous sessions! It's good talking to you again:) haha. But anyway it's back to reality. HR exams on monday, seriously what is there to learn? Ugh I miss Spanish lessons, at least they were actually useful. And fun. Oh well, certificate speaks. Back to my books. Does anyone know how to press enter on iPod touch rah!!!
Hmmm. You know right, some 'friends' are really damn thick skin. Always coming to you when they need help and leaving you to die when they have better things going on in their lives is not cool man. I tell myself, let's not be too calculative here. But it's just too sick. Strangely enough, they are aplenty. I hope I'm not like that. Am I?
The other day I saw how he takes such good care of his bros, and I saw his younger brother holding the youngest brother hand. Omg that scene is simply heartwarming. Good thing my sis treats me well too! Haha :)

split split split. you get fucking shit work.
i am ready to die for my report already.
fucking hell.
i said we needed to meet and discuss at least a little bit but everyone just wanted to leave and whatnot. as if i didnt have better things to do than this stupid subject. as if i wasnt as busy (or as hungry -snorts-) as you all were.
right now i just hope that everything will link. if not who's gonna clear the mess again? who;s gonna do the compiling? who's gonna make it right?
seeing red.

sigh.... sometimes its not so good to have references. limits your thinking. what's with all the lifting man..... whats more quite frankly, its not a good job. bleah. cant wait for wednesday to be over.

grumpy
I just can't bring myself to treat you as family. Altho maybe i should. But seeing how you have no sense of shame at all justifies all my rage. Stupid negative feelings. Can't wait for my work to be done.
funny videos are distracting :S
good morning, its 4am. im tired again after my 4 hr nap. cant stop slacking!!! tho i have mountains of work to do. oh wells.. i seem so distracted this sem i have no idea why.
mirroring shine's blogpost, i think that nbs is really trying to test our limits. projects stretching all the way to the end of the semester, (mine till week 14 mind you) WITHOUT study breaks at all and booms (hehe) it's exams.... thats crazy. dont they know that projects and studies are actually mutually exclusive? you do one, you dont do the other, as simple as that.
i'd be happy even if there's only 1 week of study break like everywhere else... heck they dont even wanna give us a proper recess week, the profs really think that time stands still during recess week or something, happily drowning us with assignments and reports like theres no tomorrow. and as a consolation prize, quizzes right after that!!!! how to study i ask you. not our fault that we screw up in our quizzes (stupid aa202)
but anw i still think if i didnt slack so much i could actually manage this kind of workload. but i get tired very easily... i think it's the lack of running = lack of adrenaline. sigh im getting fat. everytime i chance upon my JC photos i feel damn sad. the golden times are over man. muscles replaced by fats, topping off with additional flabs all around. i need to exercise but im tired...... vicious cycle
okay what a boring entry. i shall get back to my project/attempt my case study report (really sian diao) or just go to sleep. :D

morbid dreams
what is the significance, if one dreams about death? and in such a crude way. still a little shaken up.
i think i had the most morbid dream ever that has somehow been etched in my mind. normally i cant recall any dreams so why cant this be part of that pile? the image of a child jumping off from the ledge is not something i want to remember. and whats more the characters are actually some people i can relate to (meaning they exist and are sort of 2nd degree friends), though ive never met them before. what the hell.. i think im too stressed up these days, with report deadlines literally breathing down my neck. the fact that it's not going so well just adds on the pressure. a little bit like my dream, tried stopping, but cant do it.
i wanna escape.
on a lighter note i think that flash mobs are way cool. haha im sure those who saw the oprah 24th season kickoff party clip would agree - 21000 people synchronising the dance to the beat of "I gotta feelin'" by BEP. i used to hate that song but now it's cool. haha. next time if theres gonna be a flashmob please invite me along, altho i cant seem to find other gimmicks other than people freeze and dancing. :) oh, and my photocard license has finally arrived, after 3 weeks!! looking forward to buying a car..... hahahah.
okay back to companies law. long long long week ahead.
