old boss versus new boss

mmm....just had a change of boss....old boss decided to move on to better job..and new boss took over to streamline and re-organize everything...i like my old boss....not that i dislike my new boss...just that maybe i dont know my new boss yet....but thus far..i think she's alright....i think she knows what she's doing...not that my old boss doesnt..but somehow..i feel that the new boss is in control....*laughs*

let me describe the 2 bosses:

Old Boss: tall and slim, long flowing hair, pretty, laughs very loudly,a workaholic, likes to drink...

New Boss: short, auntie, short hair, glasses, looks like principal, reminds me of my econs teacher...

both of them are very different....different in looks...different in working style...different in every sense...but both are capable women in my eyes...both knows what they are doing..both are in control...

i had a review with new boss yesterday...after the review..i felt that i had no more things to do..no more responsibilities...it's like...she went through my job scope..and everything that i am doing now seemed redundant and insignificant...after the review...i felt unwanted...with the old boss, it's the opposite...normally if i had a review with her...i would have more things to do after the review...i would end up witha long list of to-dos and i will get so stressed up...(actually not really lah..but rather sianz...hahahaha) but at least i felt that i'm useful...

anyway...i miss my old boss..but i do not dislike my new boss...will have to see how things go....anyhow..bosses are just bosses..end of the day, they have to like you...not so much as to whether you like them or not...*laughs*

i'm back!!!

hello everyone!! i'm back...hahahaha..actually i'm back on sunday evening....went to work on monday..and took leave on tuesday..because..cannot tahan...too lazy...and not in the working mood....*laughs*

anyway..this trip to bangkok not too bad....i went shopping!!! for this trip..i spend about S$500....on food and shopping...i bought 3 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 bras, 5 rings, 1 belt, 3 slippers, 1 shoe for myself...*laughs* and i bought food for my mummy....PS2 and gameboy games for my brothers....actually i didnt buy as much as i thought i would....because (1) the clothes are not really my type and not my size....the thais are really skinny...*sighz* and (2) i have 2 old folks waiting for me whenever i'm shopping...*sighz* because i went with my dark lover and his parents....actually i thought the parents will shop on their own and me and friend will shop on our own..but i was so bloody damn wrong!!! my friend NEVER BRING A SINGLE CENT for this trip...he's practically a pauper...*laughs* whenever he saw something he likes...he needs to go.. "mummy!!!" tsk tsk tsk....and i did ask him if he could get some $$$ from the parents..and shopped on our own...but i couldnt remember what he said..but it didnt happened..if you ask me...it's really quite duhz..but it's alright....i survived!! *laughs*

we went quite few shopping centers....the famous MBK, the famous Chaptuchak, city center & indra center...we missed out Pratunam...mmm..must visit it the next time..and as we walked around the neighborhood...we found more shopping centers...must visit them next time...actually for this trip..we keep going back to MBK....SIANZ!!! it's like..the first day we touched down..MBK..the next day...half day at city center and indra center..then back to MBK..the next day...went chaptuchak half day....then MBK...and the reason why we go back there....my friend wanted to get the bag that he's been eyeing....we've been there twice..and he didnt want to get it..must go back the 3rd time..then he buy...and the 3rd time..we really just went back to get the bag and then back to hotel...SIANZ!!!! but he got a really good deal..managed to bargain the price from 1200 thai baht to 700 thai baht...

talking about bargaining..i think i am quite auntified...*laughs* was buying the games for my brother...and because i bought quite a few..i actually bargained with the shopkeeper to give me 2 free games for the 10 games that i bought...*laughs* and my friend just took one of the free game...sighz...actually didnt want to give him that free game..but he assumed that i was going to give him...so alright loh..give him lah...i can afford since he's a pauper!! *laughs* and besides..because he didnt bring a SINGLE CENT but yet want to get some discs for his wife...so he still owe me $S16!!! *laughs*

eating was cheap in bangkok....with just 120 thai baht (about S$5) ..you can get a good and decent set of japanese meal...we had japanese ramen in one of these restaurant...and even got a free green tea ice cream..actually it's not free..but because the girls forgotten to charge us for that ice cream and we only realized it after we paid...so be it..it's free....*laughs* and while we were inside that restaurant...2 handsome ang-mohs walked in...wah..they were really cute and sexy..was staring at them..the whole time....but they were taking pictures of each other in the restaurant..and i started to wonder... "GAYS?" *laughs*

and for the first time..i woke up 7am EVERY SINGLE MORNING...*laughs* as the family that i went with is the "get-up-early-sleep-early" kind..i have to follow....it's rather difficult as i'm the "get-up-late-sleep-late" kind...i dont even get up so early for work!!!! and also...this family does things very quickly...they bathe quickly, eat quickly, shop quickly and goes to the toilet damn quickly...i'm always the last to finish my business in the toilet...regardless of whether i'm the first or last to enter the cubicle....*sighz* paiseh leh..always make them wait for me....*laughs*

and funnily..apparently the thais dont think that i look like a singaporean....*laughs* asked one of the shopkeeper to guess which country i am from..and he went from japan to korea to china to taiwan to indonesia to philippines to south africa to malaysia...we have to hint to him that it's somewhere near malaysia then he went..."ooh...singapore!!" *laughs* then he started to say good things about singapore....hahahaha...and at the airport..when i was checking in my luggage..the guy asked me.... "korea?" i wanted very much to reply... "i wish i am...." but of course..i didnt...i told him... "singapore!!" hahaha...

ooh...by the way, the taxis in thailand are really colorful....there are all sorts of colors...remember the australia song...." red and yellow and pink and green...purple and orange and blue...i can sing a rainbow...sing a rainbow..sing a rainbow or two" no need to go australia to see these colors...go bangkok and see the taxis...they have taxis in all these colors!! very very prettty!!!! *grins*

happy holidays!!

no one can spoil my day today...NO ONE....because..i'm going to BANGKOK!!!!yeah yeah yeah..i am going to do shopping...eating....enjoying...i really really am so damn excited now...i will be going with my dark lover and his parents...*laughs* this is not a "meet-the-kohs" session lah....my dark lover got steady-pom-beep-beep girlfriend...and that girl is not me...aiyah..no need to explain...nothing to explain also...*laughs*

actually am still thinking how much $$$ to bring...*laughs* got a few suggestions from people...and most either ask me to bring SGD 300 or SGD 500....so now..i am thinking....300 or 500?? mmm...after much thoughts..i have decided..i shall bring....*drum rolls*......SGD 400!!! *laughs*

okay..now that i have decided on the amount to bring..i have to think...the clothes to bring....*laughs* i think i am only bringing 2 bottoms (read SHORTS) and 4 tops (read T-shirts) and many underwears!! after that i have to think which bottms and which tops to bring...and of course..the matching underwears...and my toiletries and all...wah..so many things to pack..and i havent brought out my luggage and all...*laughs*

then after that..i need to think...what am i going to buy? *laughs* shoes! bags! tops! bottoms! accesorries! but then horz...i scare they dont have my size..as i am not the average girl..i am fat and all....sighz...so my contingency plan is...if i cannot buy anything i like..i shall eat and get fatter!! *laughs*

but i'm going to miss all my tv shows...*sighz* currently, i am following closely on this Hong Kong drama serial showing on channel 55...it's about fashion designers..and all..very nice..the clothes all very nice..the models very nice...and the guys very stylish...and it's the last few episodes on Thursday and Fridays...guess am going to rent the vcds...*laughs* and i'm going to miss my beloved OC on Thursday....guess might buy the dvds....*laughs*

so people out there..miss me lots lots and enjoy your weekend!!!

toilet auntie...

every toilet has a cleaner and most of the time..they are aunties...it's not an exception for the one of my office...

this toilet auntie was responsible for the female and male toilets of level 23, 24 and 25..if i'm not wrong...she's very old...her hair had turned all white and she's very very very hunched...but her voice was still loud and clear...although she's not the kind old lady...because whenever she's cleaning it and i wanted to use it...she would nag in cantonese (which i cant really understand)...and so at times...i do find her scarry...but at times...she's rather nice...chatting with me..complaining to me...and she did a VERY good job in keeping the toilet spick and span...

but now she's gone...yes...she had left us...heard the bad news that she fell down while cleaning the toilets on a weekend and because no one was working on weekends, she was found much later by the security guard and was in a coma for 2 weeks...and on Friday, she passed away...it was a shocking piece of news..and i do feel sad....although she's just the toilet auntie....

thinking back..i could remember how happy and grateful she was when i gave her some sandwiches and beehoon from our catering....as there were extra..i gave her some beehoon and sandwiches..and she kept thanking me and even wanted to buy me coffee to thank me but of course i declined...and she even asked for my name...

actually she's not a horrible lady...just that i guess she hated it when she's cleaning the toilet and we went in and ruined her cleaning but we really cannot help it..it's nature's call....and although she kept nagging and talking to herself..i think she's just trying to entertain herself? just imagine..and old lady like her...who hunched rather badly..had to take care of 6 toilets EVERYDAY!!! it's not an easy task...and at times...when i saw her cleaning the toilet...i do feel sorry for her....

anyway..she's with the AlMIGHTY ONE if she's a Christian...which i doubt so...or if not..she will definitely reincarnate and lead a much better and blessed life...if she's a non-Christian..which i strongly believe she was...so anyhow, she will rest in peace....

on a lighter note, someone commented...would she haunt the toilet? *shrugs*

pissed......

i was so damn pissed on thursday...mmm..or was it wednesday....mmm..or was it tuesday??? anyway...i was pissed on one of the days of the week....*laughs* anyway was damn pissed because of the following:

(1) my boss was leaving us and so our team organized a farewell lunch for her...it was meant to be a team lunch but this auntie went to invite another auntie and then that auntie went to invite more aunties..and in the end...i had to invite everyone to the lunch..fucking hell...well..so be it...and one of the invitees was the new boss and because it was a farewell lunch..we decided to go somewhere far and she had to send a note to me saying.." where are we going? we have a customer meeting at 2pm " *sianz* the meeting was at 2pm...we intended to go for our lunch at 1130am..not enough time ah? it would only take 10 to 15 mins to hail a cab to town? she's NOT obliged to join us..why must she spoil the fun and all....STUPID... anyway..she didnt join us ultimately..was stuck somewhere with the customer and we already finished our food...*laughs*

(2) got to send out some presentation slides for the management team from both our side and the customer's side...and because was waiting for some confirmation on the logistics details..was not able to send it out by 12pm..the agreed time...gave the customer a call at about 2pm to inform this uncle of the situation and i told him..." huh? why late ah? your side cannot confirm the logistics details...so i'm still waiting..." and he said " aiyah...should have sent out first..then send another mail again for the logistics details...now our managers all on their way to Hong Kong..what if they cannot get the slides on time?? " oh PUH-LEESE.. the meeting is for the next day..and the SECRETARIES have to ensure that their bosses get the necessary materials...NOT ME!! if not why do they have secretaries? then the stupid server was not able to send out my email to the customer and then this customer told me this " if we do not get the email by 5pm..you would have to print out colored copies of the slides and distribute to all the secretaries...and you have to get someone in Hong Kong to do the same for our people" oh my god!!! what is this uncle thinking of? want me to print copies of the slides...and want it in colors too....he thought i owned a photocopying shop ah? as if iknow all the secretaries? fucking hell..was damn bloody pissed with his suggestion...but anyway...God helps me and the note got send out before 5pm...*laughs*

(3) and while i'm being pissed by all these stupid people..another stupid idiot has to message me this " hello miss wang...." and i went..." what??" and he had to gave a fucking stupid response..." wah so fierce...." i totally ignore that message because i think he's being damn stupid and idiotic...a smart guy would have responded with this " i guess you're busy now...talk to you later..." and i would have replied " ya..sorry..okay..thanks" some guys are really stupid....senseless, lame, horrible, jerky, idiotic...etc etc...the list could go on and on and on and on....*laughs*

(4) then while i was being pissed off by these people...i still have to get flowers... someone suggested getting flowers for boss..and i went to check it out during lunch-time but because of insufficient money..was not able to place the order...went back office to take more money but because of all these pissing off situations...was stuck...and while i was stuck...i was unable to get the flowers..and NO ONE bothered to ask..until i said.." i'm not going to get the flowers..i cant get away from my desk" then did someone "volunteered" to get the flowers...*sighz* why MUST i always do these kind of stuffs??? at times..i am really sick of being the "entertainer" but somehow, this perception has sunk in so deeply that EVERYONE just take me as an entertainer....*sighz*

anyway..had a great weekend...and will be heading for bangkok on thursday for shoppping!! *yeah*

aunties and uncles

there are many aunties and uncles in my office..in fact..uncles and aunties are expanding their community in my office...*laughs* so why am i, a pretty young lass, doing in this auntie and uncle infested office? *sighz* any rich and handsome bosses out there recruiting people? i am a good catch! *laughs* actually there's nothing wrong with aunties and uncles..but some of them are so auntified and unclefied that they are simply too much to handle...

the uncles in my office are nice...some of them give me the fatherly feeling...some give me the unclely feeling...some give me the grandfatherly feeling...nice nice..i like..most of them seemed nice..always smiling...always saying "hi" always in a good mood...and even if they are in a bad mood..they dont really show it to me...*laughs* they always joke with me...telling me stupid jokes, telling me stupid things and praising me...*laughs* one uncle even gave me a red packet during chinese new year...so nice of him horz....i like that uncle a lot but he has already left the office...*sighz* and the uncles here look damn young...one uncle..not exactly uncle..but given his age..is an uncle..doenst look like he's 40 years old!!! and in fact..i think he's damn attractive...*laughs*

this uncle..(actually he's not really an uncle but i think he's quite unclefied!) always ask me to blog about him..how weird can he get? *laughs* told him that i have nothing good to say about him..and he still insist that he wants to read what i will write about him...nothing to write..not handsome, not cute, not rich, nothing special...( okay..done..i have blogged about him....hehehehe ) basically uncles in my office are NICE!!!!

sad to say..the aunties are horrible....the aunties in my office are very very auntified!! they act like an auntie, talk like an auntie, walk like an auntie, dress like an auntie, think like an auntie...so auntie!! then they are the typical irritating aunties...*laughs* the kind of aunties one would curse and swear when they rushed into the train the moment the doors are open...the kind of aunties one would curse and swear when one caught them wearing the same mango short skirt *gasps* and the kind of aunties one would curse and swear when they start to behave like an auntie...*laughs*

the aunties in my office are always gossiping...out of the 10 phonecalls that this auntie made, 8 of them are to call other people to gossip!! imagine repeating the same gossip so many times..if not the aunties will gather together and gossip...and they are so boliao that they can gossip about a group of young ladies ( like me and including me) are always going to the toilet in a group! what is their fucking problem? scare of ghost cannot ah? lonely cannot ah? go toilet together to gossip cannot ah? *tsk tsk*

then got this auntie...damn kaypoh...everyday nothing better to do..but complain to HR person..then this HR person, another auntie...but apparently this auntie just got married (wonder which guy was that desperate and to me she looks like the mother of 2...haha), doesnt seemed to be doing anything with regards to HR...every single things that goes to her..she will fucking route to other people...like that she may as well be an email router...why called HR Adviser? fucking hell....

then got this auntie...whole day like to kaypoh here kaypoh there...like everything also want to kaypoh...when it's not even her problem....then always tale-telling to boss about other people...*tsk tsk* then got this auntie, actually not exactly one but she's so auntified, one minute tell us "okay okay..can can can" the next minute tell her boss "no lah.not me...not my job..it's xxx" wah..win already...hate this kind of back-stabbers...but this auntie talked like some petite pretty young lass but when one look at her...*FAINT* hahahaha

mmm...come to think of it....i will be an auntie next time..would i behave like that? would my future husband be a good uncle? would i marry an uncle? *gasps*

weird guys...

recently have been having encounters with weird guys...they are so weird that i am afraid of them....seriously, i dont know what's wrong with them...do i look like i like weird guys? *mutter mutter* why cant i attract cute guys...sighz...talking about cute guys...i saw one in MW on sat...he is so FUCKING CUTE that i couldnt take my eyes off him...and my friend told him :" hey my friend here thinks you are cute! " and he had to reply :" oh thanks..i'm married! " *BOO HOO* are all cute guys either married or gays? anyway..back to weird guys...realized that i attract weird guys...so stupid...

anyway, first up is this stupid india indian...he's the weirdest person i ever met in my whole life...and he might just think that he's the cutest indian in singapore...it all started when he thought i was extremely nice to him by helping him to get a new machine within 1 day..which i am not...because at that point of them when he asked me for help..i am doing it for many other people..just that he's one of the last few...so it only took 1 day...then from there, on and off he would ST me " hey, whassup? " and intially i would reply but subsequently i ignored when i realized how weird he is...there's once he asked me..." do you have a boyfriend?" and i replied negative and he actually said..." i can be your boyfriend!" and immediately i replied..." NO YOU CANNOT! I DONT LIKE YOU!!" wah..cannot take it leh...then another time...he asked "why didnt you go to the farewell dinner?" and i said..."because i dont wanna see you..." then he said..."it's a pity...if you have come i would have seen a girl dancing with her eyes close.." fucking duhz sia...he meant that i would be dancing with my eyes closed because i dont want to see him!! and so i got scare of him...and everytime i see him in office..i would try to ignore him...and he can tell me this : i know you are an innocent girl because of the way you try not to look at me and the way you do things.... can anyone help me to dicepher the meaning behind this line? WHAT THE FUCK? and he said he liked disturbing me as he liked to see me getting irritated over him...FUCKING HELL!! what's the matter with him??? and ithought i was the only one..but apparently i was wrong..another colleague of mine also kenna from him...*laughs* at least i am not alone... and this stupid indian always asking me to teach him singlish....it's like..i am so damn busy with work..and there he is..irritating the hell out of me:

me: well..it's like that mah...

idiot: mah? what is mah?

me: nothing..it's just singlish...

idiot: teach me singlish..what does it mean?

me: huh? no meaning..."mah" has no meaning..just singlish...a slang...

idiot: tell me please..i want to learn...

me: no..."mah" has no meaning...it means nothing...

idiot: ooh..so "mah" means "nothing"?

see what i mean..not only is he weird and irritating...he's stupid...so fucking stupid....

then recently, this ex-colleague called...was not close to him at all..but because used to have working relationship with him..so we did chat a bit here and there...but he's damn bloody thick-skinned...he's NOT handsome at all..short and ugly...and always looked dirty and smelly...but am not sure who gave him the idea that he's a hottie...WTF!! here's a classic example:

me: sad right..so old already still no boyfriend...

he: what kind of guys you looking for? i help you lah...

me: eh...i want... ( and before i could answer)

he: you looking for someone like me right?

me: ...... eh..no lah...i want someone taller and better-looking...

he: ya lah..someone like me...maybe taller...

me: huh? no lah...i dont want someone like you...

he: i not bad right? how about xxx? he's like me like that...

which part of "NO, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU" did he not understand? this conversation was carried out face-to-face and i'm sure my face had this disgusted look and i'm standing right in front of him!!! brainless toad!! then recently he's into clubbing and he asked me to go with him...and thinking that as a big group..it should be alright..but i was so fucking wrong!! he sort of like insisted on going when our mutual friends all cant make it and he wanted to tag along with my clubbing khakis...read this:

me: eh...i think XX and YY cannot make it this week..we do it another time okay?

he: ooh...can i still go? it's alright..i very friendly one..i can make friends easily...

me: HUH? you sure or not? they all older than you leh..a bit weird right...another time lah..

he: no lah..it's alright...i can click quite easily with older people..and besides..i very easygoing...

me: huh? you really want to go ah...next time lah...

he: dont worry about me..i very easygoing..i can make friends easily...so what time do i meet you?

me: like that ah..meet at 10 plus outside MW loh...

he: okay okay..i will see you there..i will be wearing something very cool and stylish...

mmm..i was still wondering what kind of stylish clothes would he turn up in..and in the end..it's just a polo-tee with jeans....WTF?? then when inside...he seemed to be wanting to eat tofu...so disgusting..and when i was like dancing beside him or whatever, he would put his arms on my waist..and i felt so FUCKING DISGUSTED and MOLESTED!!! and that night me and friends were daring each other to kiss each other..and he seemd so interested to join in but we REFUSED to let him join in the fun...*laughs* and when the night ended..he went around asking people for their numbers...INCLUDING THE GUYS!!! and EVERY friend of mine who was there that night agreed that he's fucking weird!!!

then this week, this ugly ah beng was trying to be funny with me...initially everything seemed normal...he introduced himself..and all...and asked the standard questions.."you came alone? where's your friend? what's your name? what you doing? etc etc..." then he started to hold my hands..ask me to be his girlfriend..ask me to dance with him...ask me to kiss him...and he was holding me very tightly and refused to let me go....but because i was sober and strong..i managed to escape..but every now and then he would come to my side and repeat the whole procedure...WHAT THE HELL IS HE TRYING TO DO??? and so everytime i had to give my friends the please-help-me look but none of them offered a helping hand..damn sad....although i do play along at times..but i do QUALITY CHECKS!! *laughs* cannot anyhow whack..will regret for life....then one of his friends equally weird..always pulling me towards him...another one..seemed very drunk..always appeared out of nowhere...but he offered me a glass of beer...but he gave me a slight punch on my face which i had no idea what does that mean..and his hands always brush against my back...wah..i got injury behind leh...stupid idiots!!! but the drunk friend is much cuter...but weird also...never really say anything...thought he's dumb!! *laughs* weird guys...

can somebody teach me how to meet cute and nice guys? mmm..maybe a little difficult....how about not ugly and nice guys? i'm like a desperate housewife now...*laughs*

world of the wars

yeah...finally watched my Tom's latest movie....it's not a horrible movie..but neither is it a fantastic movie..although many of my friends have said that it's SUPER nice...but to me..it's alright...the special effects are great..but the storyline sucks...ha ha ha..anti-climax ending....

anyway...seriously speaking..i thought Tom was good in this movie....thought he has put up a good performance..although many of my friends insisted that i said he's good because i'm in love with him...but hey..i seriously thought he's good...the way he protrayed the helplessness of a father...the way he protrayed his fear...his curiousity and all..perfect..but then he's way too lucky..*laughs* no matter how near he was to the enemines or weapons...HE ALWAYS SURVIVE!! kinda fake..but then again..this is a movie....

seriously, i hate the girl who acted as his daughter...*mutter mutter*....she only screamed and screamed and her screams were fucking shrieking....mmm...i think they should give Tom a 24-year old chinese adopted daughter from Singapore...hahaha...i was so bloody jealous when Tom hugged or kissed her....*mutter mutter* dont want to talk about her...talking about her makes me fucking mad....*laughs*

caught this movie with princess mel....and was sitting beside this couple...throughout the whole movie..i was talking to princess mel and i leaned towards her..and i was NOT talking loudly at all..i was whispering and i dont think anyone can hear me but princess mel but i can see the fucking ugly woman giving me looks whenever i made a comment...WHAT THE FUCK?? i was not disturbing her at all.....like before the start of the show, they were showing "dreamworks" commercial..and i just said to princess mel:" did you realize that all of Tom's shows involve Dreamworks?" and that fucking woman shot an irritated look at me!!! WHAT THE FUCK?? i cannot make a comment to my friend in soft voices ah...jealous that i am more informative and knowledgeable than you is it? fucking woman...then after the show, i could see her complaining to her equally ugly boyfriend that i was making too much noise...mmm...although i couldnt hear her...but i reckon she was lah...*laughs* as if i give a fuck....*laughs*

mmm...going to watch..."Fantastic 4" and "Charile and the Chocolate Factory"...*grins*

my tattoo...

hahaha!! finally got my tattoo...yes..this is MY tattoo..on MY very own body...i actually got it done on saturday....well..this tattoo is found on the right side of my body..at the back..near my butt near my waist...although i now this picture kinda dumb...cannot actually see where it is on my body..but hey...i had a hard time taking this...my neck ALMOST break ah...*laughs*

mmm...must say was rather shocked that i actually did it...actually i was rather determined to do it last week..and was asking people to go with me..and my dear friend cum colleague (Jolin )agreed to go with me as she's rather tempted to do as well...and so we made a date on saturday to go recee Far East on saturday...but actually i had in mine which shop to get it done...*laughs*

anyway, to side-track a bit..her name is not Jolin..but i forcefully called her that because she has the same chinese name as Jolin Tsai...but she's not a Tsai..she's a Chia...but then again..do i look like i care..ha ha ha..anyway....she also responds when i call her "Jolin"....*laughs*

so...we went to the 4th floor where most of the tattoo shops are located..and walked around...we passed by this shop..and there were this indian man inside doing his back..and Jolin said :" hey..he doesnt look like he's in pain leh... " and true enough..he looked cool...and there's another indian girl doing her neck...mmm...this shop seemed to attract indians and i dont want to go in...*laughs* go ahead and call me racist...i just have some rather bad encounters with indians...

anyway...we found a few shops here and there and we walked past those shops like hundreds time...but yet was not brave enough to go in and enquired...*laughs* found the shop that i had in mind..and it looked kinda scarry..with a big tattooed man standing at the door..and i had thoughts of backing out....but finally, we mastered up our courage and went into the shop and started to look at the designs and all...asking for price...etc...

well..although the uncles of the shop look scarry...they are rather nice people...they gave me a few books to choose from..recommend some designs for me...and kept asking them if it's painful..and they told me..." if i tell you not painful..i am lying...pain will have..but it's bearable...a lot of girls did it and they take it well...guys are worse...some guys faint...haha " *laughs* i guess we women are the stronger sex...anyway...finally i decided on the pattern and the position to do it...initially, wanted to do a tribal motif at the back..then the uncle suggest this motif and do it at the side..which didnt cross my mind...and i thought it's rather unique...and so into the room i went...

Jolin went in with me to see the process...actually i was really nervous..i was not really scare..but nervous...and when the needle first poked into my skin...it's not as painful as i thought it was...but it's painful...and the sound of the drill is not as bad as i thought it was..and the drill is not as big as i thought it was...and then the art began..the whole process took about half an hour and it was not as long as i thought it would take too...so in general..it's not as bad as it thought it was...and it cost me 100 bucks..so it's not as expensive as i thought it's going to be...

afterwhich, the uncle gave me a bottle of cream and asked me to apply twice a day for 2 weeks, no sun-tanning and swimming for 2 weeks and to go back to him in 2 weeks time to see if i need to further color it....but seriously speaking..i thought the cream smelled like some baby lotion...although they called it the "healing cream" *laughs* anyway..i have been diligent about applying it regularly...

actually, i think after the whole process it's the painful part...i started to feel numb and hot at the tattooed area and my skin is red and swollen...and there's even blood....*laughs* but now it's alright..slightly red and not as swollen....actually was supposed to go clubbing on sat...but it's painful and bleeding that i decided to go home and sleep....*laughs*

ooh....the indian man...when i finished and walked past the shop again..he's still getting his tattoo done!!! amazing...anyway, didnt tell my parents about this..*laughs*

swimming coach again!

cant think of a better title...so am using the same one again...but this time..if you notice...it's an exclaimation mark...*laughs* okay...shall stop being lame and stupid...well...this week i saw the swimming coach again...*laughs* and we had more converstation and "achievements"....

as per normal...i would go for my weekly swim at my teacher's swimming pool after lesson...and so i went...and i went at my normal time this week..and then soon the coach appeared...as usual..he's in his usual teaching gear and all..nothing special...and i was just hanging around the pool..resting from my 10 laps...then i was just looking at this other guy...and here's our conversation:
he: what you looking for?
me: huh? no lah..just looking around...cannot look ah...
he: aiyah..look what..just one look and you see everything..no handsome guys also what.you are already talking to the most handsome guy..
me: hahaha.....very funny..i short-sighted so must look longer..and besides..i look at pretty girls too...hahaha
seriously, i think our conversation is getting crappy...and lame and stupid..but then again..i guess this is a good way to start talking....*laughs*

anyway...our conversation continued...
he: the pool very dirty horz...should have told the management to clean it up...
me: eh...then you be a good man..you clean it up loh... (what crap man..as if i care the pool dirty...after my swim..i'm bathing mah...haha)
he: huh..no lah..i can teach..i cannot wash...
me: alright lah...this kind of things can learn...haha (wah our conversation is really getting duhz...)
then he swam and i just stood there..as i thought rather weird to "swim with him"...*laughs*

mmm...then i cannot remember what we were talking about...then somehow...dont know what happen..this is our conversation:
me: you got perfect eyesight ah...then go be pilot lah....
he: cannot lah..i got no education...
me: huh...you no poly meh..i think poly can already right...
he: i no study..i only primary 4....so cannot loh...i stupid stupid one...
me: huh? no lah..cannot be..you at least got O levels lah...right? dont bluff me leh..i small girl leh... (mmm...he doenst look that stupid..but he look beng..but some bengs quite smart right? and besides..his dad is a doctor...so he shouldnt be too bad...haha)
he: aiyah...i bluff you only bluff you once a week....when you come swimming..and if you didnt come..i dont get to bluff you leh...then how? i go outside and shout for you ah...and i also don tknow your name leh... (hahaha..finally he's asking for my name...would he ask for my number?? haha)
me: eh...i can be found everywhere lah...my name ah...hannah....
he: hammer ah? then i am screwdriver... (haha..not very funny leh...) mmm..no no no..i am nail...haha
me: haha..nail ah...so i knock you ah...*laughs* (mmm..hammer and nail meant to be together? hahaha...am thinking too much...)
he: what time you leaving ah...can i have your number? (yeah..he finally asked for my number!! ha ha ha ha...)
me: eh...okay loh.... (hahaha..am dying for this moment..)

so finally, we exchanged number..actually to be more accurate..i left my number for him...because he's in the water and i didnt bring my mobile along..so i managed to find a piece of paper and wrote my number for him...*grins*

then later in the evening...he texted me and said this is his number....and he's attending a wedding now..and asking me where would i be going as he's going boat quay to celebrate his friend's birthday...*laughs* maybe it's the beginning of a wonderful relationship? hahaha!!!

by the way, some who has read about this swimming coach seems very interested in him....but my dark lover told me he's getting bored..and told me to stop writing about him...mmm....i think he's JEALOUS...*laughs*

to my dark lover....you got your light lover aka mrs koh...so you cannot be so selfish..i need to find my light lover too ah...*laughs*

bye bye uncle mani...

uncle mani is a our office contracts manager...he is like a walking dictionary, walking encyclopedia, walking treasure...etc etc...he's very interesting, wise, knowledgeable and fatherly...anyway, yesterday was his last day...he has decided to quit and go back to india....to be with his wife and daughter....am very happy for him..but am really really sad to see him leave...although i do not have much working relationship with him..but the few conversations we had, the few meals we had, the few drinking sessions we had is enough to bring fond memories to me whenever i think about them....

anyway, we did up a scarp book for uncle mani....i went around taking pictures of everyone in the office..and got them to pen their thoughts, gratitude, whatever crap they have for uncle mani in that book...and then i passed to him yesterday for his keeping..and we were flipping through the pages..and could sense that he's very touched and all...and then when we reached the last page....this is what uncle mani said.. :"This is so sweet of you all...think i'm going to miss you all a great deal.." and with that he started sobbing.... i was stunned...shocked...heart stopped momentarily....i really have no idea how to react..i went..."eh...dont cry..." then i slowly walked away....*laughs* i am a bad counsellor...anyway..it's not easy for me ya...i am young fine lady...*grins* and a wise man is breaking down in front of me...i mean....it's not that just watery eyes..but his tears were flowing down...how would you want me to react....*sighz*

anyway..i know i have written about how much i hated indians...(read this) but uncle mani is one indian whom i totally respect and will definitely miss dearly now that he's back in India...by the way..uncle mani is very proud of his daughter... and everytime he speaks of him...can see him beam like a proud daddy...and also...he told me..in India, the parents are responsible for finding boyfriends for the daughter...the daughter has the last choice...but the parents will do the groundwork...*laughs* mmm...maybe i should ask my parents to do the same?? *laughs* but then again...i think it's not a good idea afterall...

well...uncle mani...bye bye and take good care...gonna miss you!!!
