~サムねこの物語~
Chiang!! Chiangg!! Chianggg!!!
I had wanted to blog about my Heineken Adventure laz nite but silly blogger was down & by the time it's up, i had lost the feel.
To sum it up, the people there r less happening n MUCH more serious than we r hoping dey wud be. I mean c'mon...dey r Heineken u noe!? But dey were so serious i wud hv tot dey r envoys of the Pope.
Notwithstanding the 5000 tough qns dey drilled mi & my Ah Lian Manager's constant arrows on mi to answer questions she didn't noe the answers to (U must be tinking...how can ur mgr not noe the answers & U do?? Lemme tell u, it happened), it was a pretty nerve-wrecking but an enriching experience.
Ok, let's tok about something good.
Cleo's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors are out on the shelves up for grabs again!!! Chiangg! Chiang! Chiangggggg!!!
I swear i wasn't aware when i grabbed the mag off the 7-11 shelves!! I had intended to get the "Petit Brunch" biscuits & top up another 4 bucks plus just to make it 5 so i can get my Hello Kitty magnet....(of which i must mention i got the 1982 one...hehehehehe...so thrilled..)
While blindly flipping thru the mag when i was eating my dinner, i almoz swallowed a bite without chewing when i came upon the Divine pages.....*floats unrealizingly..*
Altho not every of the Bachelors featured were to my liking, i tink the standard of dis year's bulk is still not too shabby.
Simply based on the superficials, personally i wud have been swept off my feet within 5 secs of up close & personal wif No. 33 Brendan Lim. He's such a doll...reminds of the Eurasian Broadway or wassit Opera singer Fei Xiang...who is oso...ahem...Sizzling hot & manly for his age, Sizzling wif a cap 'S'.
For a score high on adoring boyishness, ladies shud perhaps check out No 5. Adrian Chia, No. 10 Shaun Kong & No. 18 Gael Sydness. Altho all 3 r cute (wif the latter a lil' too young & playboyish-looking for my liking), i personally still have the heats for gentlemen with long & single eyelids as dey seem to exude a certain 'X' charisma like no others, just like that of No. 47 Nathaniel Ho .
Yes, the same Nathaniel who didn't make it on Sg Idols.
Speaking of 'X' factors, No. 4 Tseng Wun Hsiung, No. 7 Mark Tan (not taking into account the common name paired up wif a common surname somemore..) & No. 32 Aaron Yang wud have my votes if there is a poll.
Drools & aestatics aside, there r nevertheless quite a handful whom the more i look, the more bewildered i get of how dey manage to work their way up to the crowning affair.
Take No. 16 Hali Lintar for starters.
The judges even commented dat Hali reminds dem of Sex & The City's Mr Big!?
WOOOOOTT??? Did dey temporarily lose their sense of sight or wot!? He seems more like a Big Potato Head to mi. In any case, he better b rich.
Well I'm sori if i hv 2 be mean...i wud hv given each Bachelor a commentary if i cud..but nahh...some r not even worth mentioning.
Just one number after Big, who's dat!??! O ya..Not Worth Mentioning.
And den dey hv to put a joker in duno for wot...No. 21 Jamal Bamadhaj reminds mi of Bert from Sesame Street, oni thing is Bert's yellow. 1 more centimetre of facial hair, dis chap will spot a unibrow. Hello?? Time to do something about dem, ok Jamal???
I'm sure No. 31 Karl Ho is an interesting fella where "conversations will never get boring" as he happens to be a journalist, but i do hope dat he just happens to be not photogenic. He looks like a version of Ken Lim btw.
I tink i've seen No. 34 Nicholas Teo in school before...
No 35. Desmond Yeo, too bald & poker-faced for my vote. I wonder how many cups of kopi he has to "qia" the Cleo folks to get on No. 35. O well, perhaps he's a Samaritan. So let's be kind.
No 36. Leonard Lee looks like he can start crooning an oldie while walking along some scenic area in the CBD area, in the utmostly dramatic outburst. Something along the "Rong Shu Xia" line.
No 37. Eric Loh @ SAF Officer is a ringer for Sly, in the same
Ah Beng manner. O hv u guys heard Sly has an upcoming hit titled "Xiang Long 18 Zhang"?? Yes, Xiang Long being his Chinese name, it's a pun. A shamelessly corny one.
No 41. Nicholas Chin looks like he can make it big purely by starring in a series of Beijing101 adverts.
And last but not least, No 50. Matthew Leong, supposed to be our last beam in the darkness, proves dat not everything in the last has to be the best.
Anyway, all dat being said, ladies still shud go check out the lastest copy of Cleo, featuring Tanya, to get a gd grip of reality (men) rite here in town.
It's time to check & balance dream guy & reality.
Fusion of Feng Shui & Info Tech.
Recently due to sheer boredom & stress relieving purposes, people in my office have been fascinated by dis Online Feng Shui website. Yes, U heard mi rite, ONLINE FENG SHUI.
How advance is dat huh!?
Apparently it's by dis Feng Shui Master name Lilian Too who happens to look a lil' like Teresa Huang (Local MD of L'Oreal) in my humble opinion. Or izit all making-alot-of-money Tai Tais look the same...?!
It's amazing..dey even tich u how to park ur car in ur porch in the correct, precise position to secure good luck & even got a string of auspicious items for U to purchase online.
Wad the....i say.
Isn't dis like dat
guanyinma.com.sg joke in "Xiao Hai Bu Ben"??!
Check out
www.wofs.com if U r reli dat darn free.
After taking the "Astrological Weight At Birth" test (test results below), i reckon i shud go get a black tortoise, if not ahem, excuse mi while i go sever all ties wif my family.
Rigggght....well done..Mummy & Daddy are not goink to be very pleased about dis.
uH oH.
Dis is where i bury my face 7/8 of the time. Some days, i can glue my butt & fix my gaze on the LCD for a straight 7 hours or so, no wonder my butt is getting bigger by the minute!!! I must oso commemorate my own ability of messing up wotever space given to mi, no matter how spacious. Look at my in-tray, it has virtually no more space to stuff in any more paper..I was just telling Ah Beng d other day she better steal more glances of mi b4 i get buried alive wif papers. At the time to knock off, the oni clearing up process i bother to do is to put the cap back onto my cheap-but-damn-gd-to-write-red-ink-pen & place it in a strategic position so dat next day when i come in, it is still within my sight. And yes, i tink i hv the messiest table in the entire office! Muahaha!!
War Zone 01
Since I have a whole L-shaped desk to myself, how can i spare the other wing? (Justin, I challenge U!! Ur table cannot be messier than mine!)
War Zone 02
More ramblings.
It is just damn frustrating when something dat i didnt do bcomes my liability. It is also darn frustrating when i do something out of kindness but end up getting annoyed stares due to my good sense of responsibility even when it was impersonal. Much less to say, it is Utmostly frustrating when other people claim credit for wot i toiled for.
Dat's y i say, work is work, and colleagues will alwaz remain as colleagues.
Recently, things happened. And prior to it, i tot my life wud at least be a tad different AFTER it.
Turns out the "event" was more hype than happening.
I still eat wot i eat, do wot i do & say wot i say.
I tot i wud be more emotionally involved afterwhich. Which i am, reli. But probably i was a lil' too romanticized in a way & anticipated too much improvements dat i ended up wif half a face buried in sand, and the other half on its way into the sand.
Dat's y i m increasingly emotionless by the minute i guess. Bcoz most of the time nothing reli turns out to be wot i imagined, so b4 anything happens after Scenario A, i wud oredi had Consequences A, B, C, D, E etc systematically forecasted in my crown. Sometimes the matrix in my mind scares mi.
And honestly, nothing much amazes me anymore. Given the dynamicity of events around me, i have to learn to deal wif unprecendented situations in 1 way or another.
It does mi gd such dat no matter wot shit comes my way, i oredi half expected it so i wudnt be swept off my feet in a single downfall.
The drawback to dat safety mechanism will of coz be a generation or rather, an evolution of an unfeeling, over-programmed & unexciting individual.
Perhaps i shud watch "Robots".
Of the people i've come in contact on my job so far, none believes i m only almoz half a yr old on my job. In a way, i m flattered, for it plausibly implies dat i m too seasoned for a rookie.
In another, it cud oso mean dat i m too mechanical such dat everything dat rolls out of my tongue r but standard, numb & alienated advices.
It is not the 1st time i received comments, arguably reprimanding i m too calm & composed sometimes, & i suspect dey mean, too so for my own good.
My manager's eyes grew so wide when she found out i do cross-stitches at my free time & I m still doing it.
It quietens my mind a lil' & forces mi to be much more patient than i m in life.
I nid to tink about how to pitch my candidates across next week when i visit Heineken wif Yvonne.
Some people fish, some people stitch.
O Dear.
We have a new term for our work. We now treat work as being gang-raped by gorgeous men.
Bcoz oni "gang-raped" holds the capacity to describe the intensity of my work now.
But at the same time, we like to tink dat the agony is caused by beautiful men, so dat it bcomes some form of consolation & lives a lil' space for fantasization.
O yes, we r DAT delusional.
Crappy Lame O' KM just commented dat the old Jiayuan a.k.a Me he noes, is dead.
I hate to admit it but i tink it mite be true.
I have...unknowingly...& pretty much unwillingly evolved into
The C.O.B.
Yes, I m the Corporate Old Bore now.
Yayee.
Rite, I m toking to WJ now...apparently about his new found love. Hmmm...and i'm tryg very hard not to condemn him bcoz i still canot accept his pretty efficient rebound. Not dat i hope he cud continue banging on the wall...but, hmmm...i guess i was just hoping dat he wud be...uhhh...different from the others.
Well...glad dat bof of U moved on (u noe who u r)...hope U wud find a good one in the next one too.
Up & Going~
O yayee! The comments thing is up! Well, not like i have an audience but at least the darn blog finally looks nicer....yea?
Finally managed to speak to May a.k.a the new colleague on our way home & get to noe her a lil' better. Was pretty ok toking to her & found out she's actly older than mi. Obviously i look much older than her......-_-...
O btw, she's an Indonesian-Chinese...wonder if she's rich & nids a best fren? Muahaha..
Today is somewot awesome for a change. Bcoz i finally got rid of dat KPMG bitch. O yes, pls
DO NOT wrk for KPMG (& pass dis msg to ur family, frens & passerbys if u can), it's a fugging lousy firm full of bitches & bastards wif too much air in their head for their own good.
Anyway, dis bitch in KPMG was reli giving mi a hard time doing business wif her. And btw, she was a consultant in my company for a good 2 yrs or so i heard. Now dat she is consultant-turned-client, she had become all mighty & haughty, not to 4get her constant usage of insinuations & sarcasm.
She is oso damn fond of abusing her authority. The typical corporate bitch whose subordinates will rather stab demselves than work under her if she's the boss.
2day my manager finally dcided to sworn off doing her business by telling our GM my branch refuses to work wif her again. Kudos to her for dat & reli, good riddance!
Mo was saying maybe dat wud tich her a lesson or maybe KPMG will dock her pay...but seriously, i doubt so. I dun tink we r DAT impt a business associate to dem yet.
Apart from wishing (very hard) she will fall into the drain/trip over a stone/sprain her ankle in office-wear on a scorching sunny day/ get kangkong stuck in the gaps of her front-teeth while flirting wif cute guys/get her business proposals all rejected by her clients, i m actually oredi very contented now dat i dun hv to deal wif her anymore.
So no nid for the dock, i'm just glad. (Of coz it wud be an additional delight if the above mentioned wishes cud come true as well.)
O my...the Korean drama "Bo Li Xie" is on now and dat evil imposter sister reminds mi of Someone i noe....n NOT like very much...Pui!
I met FD & Glenn Ong yday! Dey were in my office building & doing some live show in Coffee Bean & there was some redemption of special gifts. Obviously, the shameless duo a.k.a
Ah Beng & Yours Truly went downstairs to get free gifts...muahaha..I got a Class 95 mug, a box of Coffee Bean chocolate power, a lanyard & a car decal. Quite nice~
Sometimes, being shameless is such a necessity ya noe.
Half Attempt
Ok my comments icon is not working.....Yet. I noe. But it's not ez for a html-illiterate like mi to make it work ok..IF u call dis html at all.
So sori, but dis painstaking html ordeal has left mi too jaded for the nite to proceed on to enable it proply.
Y the whimsical effort? Beats me? I just like everything to look purrfect I guess.
4gif mi...but i must be lazy now & lay my perturbed soul to rest.
So, quit complaining oredi. BooooHooo.
The Pig Part 1~
Hi there! Dis is my new toy! A.K.A The Pig (Duh.). Pls do not for even 1 sec tink dat it's like any innocent soft-toy u grab off the shelf...(ok la, it IS off the shelf...) but it does farney things dat cracked even my parents up!!
Step 2
The Pig Part 2~
Press & hold on its right hand for up to 12secs to record wot-say-u when the red light on its forehead lights up...(ono! it's an An-Neh Barbie!!)
Step 2
The Pig Part 3~
And voila!! Press on its left hand to hear wad u have recorded! (yes...even vulgarites...u pervs...)
Step 1
Can't Bliv it!
U wun bliv wot kinda stupid people....and i mean STUPID people there are in dis world. And i mean flesh & blood,
REAL STUPID PEOPLE, people who actually exist on the same planet & breathe in the same oxygen as u!!Dis particular Man, STUPID one..as i previously mentioned / emphasised, walked in to my branch today & demanded us to interview him. Fine. My colleague @ Ah Beng did.
After the interview, he walked up to mi and asked mi the final deciding question of his intellect.
STUPID MAN:"Hi, do u have a list of all employment agencies in dis building u can gif mi?"
Mi:"......No u STUPID MAN, even if i did, do u tink dat i wud actually readily provide it to u so dat u can happily approach my competitors??? Is ur nose boogey blocking the oxygen to ur STUPID brain, or the lack of it? U farking STUPID MAN! Now, get ur STUPID ass outta my sight, u STUPID, STUPID MAN!"
Obviously i din say dat. I just uttered a very disgruntled & disbelieving "No". But i swear my face fell when he asked mi dat Stupid qns, which is again....Very, Very Stupid.Another one of my problematic candidate, Mag, called mi at around 7pm and complained like nobody's biz about her present company, which, btw, is NOT my client.
I've previously tried her for a Secretary position wif dis Japanese fella but she din get selected coz "She toks too much". After which, i barely spoke to her. O we sworn off dis Japanese client in d end coz he's 2 crude & abusive to my candidates.
Apparently she was rambling on & on about why did the Letter of Appointment consists of dis clause dat says in d event dat she is terminated by the company, she nids to serve 2 weeks notice.
So i told her it's for her to handover her work properly to the new staff so dat it wudnt be too disruptive to the operations.
And she got agitated & said but she shud hv a choice too whether she wans to stay ornot...y shud she stay on 2 be humiliated...? And she repeated the same point for another 50 times.
So i answered her good-naturedly, if she is so upset with the clause, she shdnt hv signed it in the 1st place, bcoz the company is a private firm so dey r not obligated to follow ALL the standard operating legislations.
O dat was a bad move.
She went on to yak about how stupid she was to sign it blindly...& threw in the same humiliation point on & off...and how unprotected she feels & she doesn't have faith in the company....
When all of dis time, the company IS NOT MY CLIENT.
Fuganathan. Fugging waste of my precious time.
I finally gotto hung up at 7.30pm after i decided to curtly cut her off by saying "Ok Mag, i reli duno y u r worrying so unduly. If u perform well, y did u even hv to tink of termination!??!
Mag,"Ya but i just feel..-"
Mi,"Ok I wanto go home oredi. Tok to dem if u r so unhappy. If not, quit & find another job."
Dat mad woman had the cheeks to ask mi "So late still in office ah?"
And i just said "Ya la! Tok to u la!!"
~&*%^#+@~!?...
Stupid People.
Pui!!
Cramps.
So dis is the 2nd day in the week i'm not at work. Honestly, 1/4 of the reason is made up of my reluctance to go bck n face the pile of work on my table. But yea, 3/4 is coz of the menstrual cramps.
Shiet...so fast oredi night-time...means in less than 10 hrs, my ass will be at International Plaza again. I've gotto quit soon manz.
Mo just made a freakin' farney joke. Well not exactly a joke, more like a blunder. He happily paired up Donald Duck & Minnie Mouse as he 4got dat Donald's gf was named Daisy.
Well dis led to a series of silly conversations, especially after i changed my nick to Minnie The Duck and he changed his to Donald the Mouse.
Fren:" now it's Minnie The Duck??"
Mi:"Yea! My silly bf's Donald The Mouse coz he mistook Daisy for Minnie..So he made Donald & Minnie a couple."
Fren:"O no, dat wud b technically impossible."
Mi:"Their offspring cud den be known as Muck...or Douse...Or Monald & Dinnie! Muahaha..."
Fren:"-_-"
Ok...i noe dis is a brainless joke. I m weirder wif my period, so 4gif mi wil' ya?
Random Complains
Java is such a wonderful creation, i must admit it reli does wonders & fascinating stuff. But i have nvr been so sure in my life that i am reeeli NORT cut out for the IT boogey.
I've merely tried to personalize my blogskin a teeny weeny bit more but i swear, i m so choking on the blood i m gagging.
Of coz it doesn't help that i aren't exactly the most patient person on Earth either.
Urrggghhh...i can't imagine the life Programmers (a.k.a Geeky Elder Bro Joe) lead...dey must either possess heart of steel to withstand the repeated cock-ups or be darn self-delusional that all commands will eventually work. Gawd. God bless all creatures doing IT.
Darn it...It's period time. Go away u damn pimpies!!!
Scarred Tissue.
I had a long tok wif Ed & Corrine after the shift at the bleddy Career Fair. Corrine just got married & Ed has marriage plans. I told dem i canot understand wad makes dem able to just say "Yes" to another being just lydat. It is dat amazing 2 mi, bcoz i simply canot fathom how.
I probly had discussed about dis issue oredi but still, when it hits mi, i m pretty much still in awe.
Alota unhappy things have happened recently. I duno wot has happened. Probly i bad-mouthed CNY too much, n i'm sufferring from bad kharma now.
Many a times, i find it hard to express my emotions. Words r just at the tip of my tongue but I duno how 2 phrase it in a non-dramatic manner so dat i dun appear to be over-vulnerable.
And the thing is, i m lydat to everybody.
But when i dun say it, it normally gets bottled up and trust mi, dat is hazardous.
But somethings shdn't even be said.
Simply bcoz dey shud be understood without saying.
And when dey r said, it becomes meaningless.
Same goes for gestures & actions, somethings ought to be done without asking.
Bcoz when somethings r done after asking oni, it becomes meaningless as well.

Warning: The following r my inner tots blogged aloud, so steer clear if u canot stand sappy stuff.
I just have to be sappy tonite.
Qns: When u find a love, he or she will be placed on number wad on ur priority & important list?
Qns: Do u luv urslf or do u luv him or her more?
Qns: Shud we be contented if we r at least on the top 5 on our partner's list?
Qns: When will people stop taking others for granted?
Qns: Where can we get / buy a good man?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sigh...I m so god damn emotional i wanto slap myslf now.
But there r seriously no good men out there anymore, i tell u gers...if u have a gd man by ur side oredi, pls cling onto dem 4 life like a koala clinging to a tree or something...u get d idea.
From the instances i c around mi, I reli conclude dat there r no more faithful men out there. At least not for the majority.
1 gd eg; I hv a couple of guys frens, all cases exclusive of each other, who moaned n whined about love lost or love not requitted, n basically sulk their time away bcoz dey can't get the ger dey hv fell so deeply in luv wif. And den i hv to console the shit outta dem so dat dey dun take it so hard.
But, guess wad?
1 minute later, u get some news from 3rd party X dat, dat very same guy who was so miserable he didnt get dat ger, has got himslf a new gf! In less than....say....3 min?
Ok, the 3min is exaggeration.
But my point is, wad happened to the original love???
And wads wif the efficient rebound???
I mean, doesn't ANYBODY truly luvs ANYBODY anymore?????
Does the lower part of the guy's body reli takes over every bit of his consciousness left???
It's not dat i wud prefer dem to continue moping about the loss or wot...but FUG!! Dey came around waaaaay too fast lo can!?!??!
I felt so betrayed 4 wadever reasons, seems like i've just wasted a fugging load of time trying to console dem 2 not feel so bad about it...but i didn't exactly encourage dem to jump into another gurl's pants so fugging soon lo!!! Reli exploit my sympathy chord can?!!?!!!
Fugging idiots.
I tink i shud swear to celibacy for gd or stg. I fugging hate men now.
I nid to swear out loud. And binge. Excuse mi 4 now.
Grateful.
Yay! Finally a new look! Dcided the twinkle stars skin wasn't veri...ermm....sane, dis is better i reckon, much more personalized yea?Although still not too purrfect yet...will improvise again tmr nite, way past my bedtime now.
Thanks Guru Meng for the help! U've done plenty! I shall be indebt to u eternally~~ Muahaha...Pls accept a humble bow from your lowly servant...*Hail....*
