More stuff that bothers me

That I have become a lot heavier than I was before starting work. The gain is about 9.5kg (since Nov 08) and my waist is about 35″ (was about 32″ before). I’m developing a belly. The people around me are all very weight conscious and I think I’ve been infected. Sigh, being desk-bound is not doing me much good plus I’m often tired.

That I’m also hypersensitive to people I don’t trust/dislike. It’s so annoying to be around them because I need to make reality checks in my head against this hypersensitivity.

I should not be a hater, I should not be a hater. (But every single day!!!! Every single day!!!)

From here on, it’s not about stuff that bothers me

Macau tickets are still damn cheap. Sigh, should have booked them for the Easter weekend earlier since it’s unlikely the Tioman one is going to happen at all. OTOH, that just leaves me free to plan something else. Haha, should I visit Shanghai to see the World Expo? So curious about Thomas Heatherwick’s seed cathedral. Although Design Month won’t happen until later in the year… (Oh, and I want to try the bullet train in China!)

SG-Munich @ $1192. Hmm.

Ktv is very cheap today! Apparently Kbox is also having some promotion. Small groups definitely better if just want to sing (Teo Heng!!!)

Sometimes, the world can be separated into toxic people and the beneficial ones. There is nothing really good that can come out of the toxic ones while the beneficial ones make you grow and develop.

I guess I’m also quite disgusted with the whole situation. But leaving things alone to resolve in its own time is also an option — may be the only viable one as well. Ah well.

Stuff that bothers me

Earlier this week, I sent out a mass sms to see if my IT Club seniors are interested in going for dinner at Arab Street on Friday. Initial responses I got were:

Amy:

Sure. Are you talking abt that zamzar place near the mosque?

Veera:

Sorry busy!

Tiim:

This fri i can’t

KY:

Hmmm. Might have something on. Let me know anyway.

At this point, Amy comes back and says:

Hey shall we meet on sat at dhoby ghaut instead? Ky says he prolly can’t make it on friday..

Okay fine. I told her I’m fine, ask Tim (since to kill two birds with one stone can have an outing and discuss the stupid vacation plans.)

She said:

Ky and me can make it.. Tim says confirm later.. Haven’t asked chris and veera..

Since I had Chris in my messenger window and it sounded like Veera is damn busy, I told her their status. I also asked why not Arab Street?

Ky says he doesn’t want to eat at arab st.. And the cathay is at dhoby ghaut, so we can watch a movie too.. :-)

Anyway, so I wanted to know how come he doesn’t want to eat there so I sms-ed him directly (and twice! And one more time on MSN!) but never got a response. Furthermore, I got accused, on Saturday morning, of this (after I decided, I’d rather play Anno 1404 and do work than go out):

20/3/2010 11:59:07 AM khengyew
u 2 ah
u both need to stop bickering and playing games with each other
and stop using me
i told her i dun really wanna go as i will be going there on fri
for a friend’s birthday dinner
and i also did not want to watch her movie
i dunno how that was communicated to u
but i think it was modified

After I re-read all that, I realized there was a point I misread: that it was Amy’s idea to watch a movie, rather than KY.

Anyway, I just wanted to know why not Arab Street and somehow I got accused of playing games. Don’t I have a right to know since I kickstarted this thing in the first place??? Geez.

So it just kinda bothers me and I want to let it out. But hey, I finished the second last campaign on Anno 1404 so it’s all good. Hah!

BLEACH #396

AHAH… As I expected.

I saw Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva today. Funny and not bad at all. There doesn’t seem to be any other movie that’s interesting though.

Gerald says that I should go for guys who are already into me and not aimless crushes. Sigh. I was telling him about this guy which may be me thinking too much but it could be that he’s hitting on me? It’s hard to know if people are just friendly or something. Would I go for him though? Hmm, neither prefer nor dislike. If I could choose, I wish he was taller… So I’m shallow, sue me.

The height thing: It’s not a deal breaker but something in my brain clicks. You know? ashke is doomed. There aren’t that many tall guys in Singapore.

My TA still has the most beautiful hands. He is something to sigh over… Recently there were a lot more people jogging along the Singapore River at night… I must say, the quality of the guys are improving as well. (Or it could be that we were sampling more .: in absolute terms, the number increased though it may not necessarily mean that the quality did.)

What’s up with those guys who have big hands and big feet? It kinda makes them look cartoon-ish. But then again, it may be an indicator of something…

I noticed the other day that guys’ shoes make their feet look bigger. We were having a staff meet and the guys were all seated in a row… It was kinda funny.

I felt like telling the guy who was seated next to me today that he looks very pretty and he shouldn’t have spiked his hair although I don’t think he would appreciate that.

Overall, I think that the surfer dude physique is the most pleasant to view. Although I’m also partial to the long-limbed fellows.

What is it with designer dudes? An earring, fashionable cut, the perfect accessory. The end result makes them look good. You can always tell which ones are the designers and which one aren’t when they come visit.

My colleague said I should wear more of what I did today. Oh hah. I still think that even though we’re all a bit arty here, since I’m doing what I do, I should attempt to look more respectable and blend in. Haha. I do enjoy occasionally dressing up but it still doesn’t come naturally.

I was daydreaming this morning on the bus and in my delirious half-asleep state, it felt real. It’ll be embarrassing if someone could mind read.

Sometimes fantasy and reality meld.

I’m the happiest girl on earth! Tomorrow, I’m going to Disneyland for my first time ever, courtesy of Hong Kong Disneyland! In honour of this happy event, I bought Mickey Mouse luggages!

Targetting ads at the wrong person

Looking at the Goonfather’s Facebook ads, and then looking at my own, I feel rather… frivolous. I also feel somewhat guilty for playing Restaurant City on the Goonfather’s Facebook account, which possibly messes up his profiling and confuses the advertising engine. Because, once in a while, he gets silly ads for silly Facebook games. LOL. Copyright © 2010 [...]

Dreams

I dreamt that I dreamt that I was eating some very amazing Danish butter cookies (those we can’t find anymore, or I don’t know where to find the good ones). I dreamt that I woke up craving butter cookies and was happy to see an unopened packet from a CNY hamper. On my way to grab it, [...]

Who was the one who came up with the stupid PR phrase: “Can I trouble you to [insert request]?” I know it’s supposed to be a tactful, polite way of asking for something, but what is wrong with “please”??

Feeling like shit

I can’t get anything done.

I got complimented twice today for my dress. WTH?

I was reminded of KK today. Why do I remember random stuff even after… 6-7 years?

I am seriously addicted to Mr Thicke. I can listen to him sing “Lost Without U” and “Sex Therapy” on loop ALL DAY.

I miss my hugs and kisses.

I played Dawn of Discovery and wanted to restart the whole scenario.

My eyes keep tearing up and it feels damn painful.

When you have experienced a particularly stressful/traumatic or otherwise affective event, it forever changes your sensitivity to things. At least, that is how the theory goes.

I was thinking about definitive moments. You don’t need to be beholden to them but it’s hard to let it go.

I don’t think it still depresses me anymore but I think about it often. I felt a little like crying when I was thinking about it earlier though. It’s been a long time since that happened.

I blame the menses.
