LB: What’s this?

RB: A thousand words on store card APRs?

LB: Which looks as if it’s been coped straight out of Money for Dummies.

RB: *guilty laughters*

LB: No, I wanted a thousand words on APRs from an angle.

RB: Is that not an angle?

LB: Not unless you call “head on” an angle.

RB: No, I don’t.

LB: Try it again. Remind me why I hired you.

RB: Ok.

Why a chunk of dialogue taken from the movie “Confessions of a Shopaholic”? Cos my true yoga membership card seemed to be telling me today, “Remind me why you signed me up”. Haha…

I haven’t been going for yoga for months. Many months in fact. Had felt that doing yoga was killing me, giving me very bad aches all over that last for days and doing it consistently never seemed to bring any improvement. And so, I turned to the gym instead. The machine that I hated most, the treadmill, became my friend. The only reason of removing the “hatred” was most probably because of the tv attached to it, which made the running go by faster. Hehe.. :P

However recently, I have this itchy-butt feeling of going for yoga again. But the thoughts of being tortured by the yoga master just decided not to. Till today, I just didn’t want to go to the gym. Was feeling lazy having to travel all the way to Vivo City for workout. And so, had decided to give yoga a chance.

Attended the hot yoga class. Almost died. But it was good. Really really good. It somehow let me remember why I used to love hot yoga so much. Thou tiring, but the sauna yoga that made me flushing red and drenched with pespiration just made me feel good. I probably won’t feel that way if I attended the non-hot yoga thou.

Hmm, I sorta foresee me going back for hot yoga class. I guess, it’s nice to do some stretching exercise once in a while… Let’s just hope it’s not some 三分钟热度 thingy. Keke.. :P

Chop Chop Curry Pop

Posted by: eveie on: 29 October 2009

Am down with sore throat :( I really really hate sore throats… Grrrr…. I remembered even saying things like “I’d rather get stomach flu than to get sore throat.” thou I think it’s kinda crazy to say that.. Haha..

And since the throat was starting to hurt like mad, took time off to see the doc at Keypoint to get some inflammation pills and lozenges. The usual have-to-wait-so-long-to-see-doc- clinic was empty, which got me thru the whole seeing doc process pretty quickly. No no, pretty quicky is an understatement. Definately an understatement.

 

- Went in clinic, filled in particulars

- Waits for nurse to find my card

- Haven’t even get to sit down, “Evelyn, can go in already.”

- Doc: Hi, what’s wrong with you?

- Me: Sore throat.

- Doc: Swallow saliva pain?

- Me: Yes

- Doc take the wooden ice-cream stick look alike and torch turns to me and said, “Open your mouth and say ahhh.”

- Me: Aaaahhhhh

- Doc: Just started only. Today started?

- Me: Nope, last night.

- Doc: Ok, I’ll give you lozenges and inflammation pills for your sore throat

- Me: Ok, thanks. Bye

- Doc: Bye

 

And just that, I spent less than 2 mins seeing the doc. So the chop chop curry pop… Hahahaha…

Of Paris, But Not Hilton

Posted by: eveie on: 18 October 2009

Was blogging the previous post just now and received a msn from this gal Paris. I added her quite some time back cos her email address seemed quite familiar to the contacts that I had in my old msn account. Well, apparantly not. She turned out to be quite a 变态 (in my opinion).

Paris: Hi, how are you today?

(Thinking that she’s some friend that I had lost contact, but still better to be safe than to be sorry)

Me: Do I know you?

Paris: My name is Paris.

(Shite, who the hell is she? I do not remember knowing anyone called Paris. Was about to tell her that I don’t know her and…)

Paris: I’m doing great today. I’m 21 yrs old. How old are you?

(No no.. This doesn’t sound good. Ok, ignore her)

Paris: Liten hun, I am just about to start my webcam show with Jen. Come chat me there in my chat room? We can cyber, I will get naked if u do… lol!

(Ok, that’s it.. )

*Opens Window Live Messenger, looks for her contact, right-click, Block contact*

Of Deteriorating Eyesight

Posted by: eveie on: 18 October 2009

Went to the optician last week to purchase the next year’s supply of contact lens. Grrr… There’s an increase in price… Managed to bargain for a “better” deal: $300 for 14 pairs. (Last year managed to get $270 for 13 pairs). Oh well, price always increase one la.. So I guess an overall increase in $0.80 per pair is considered fair ba…*shugs shoulders*

And since I was at the optician already, had decided to check my eyesight to see whether there was increase in my short-sightedness & astigmatism degree. And to my disappointment, eyesight deteriorated liao.. 75-deg increase of short-sightedness on both eyes!!! *faint* Had thought that the recent not-so-clear-eyesight was due to me being too tired. Apparantly not. Sharks, this means I need to get a new pair of specs soon too. Sigh..

And eversince knowing that my eyesight had deteriorated, it made the uncomfy feeling of not being able to see clearly worse. It’s like all this while you’ve been convincing yourself that you can’t see as clearly cos you are tired and now suddenly you know that it’s not because of that! And suddenly you can’t live with it… I know, I know.. It’s all in the head.. Hmm.. Perhaps I shouldn’t have gone to the optician that early, cos i still have 2 pairs of contact lens left to wear before changing to the new one. Which also means 2 months of agony?

Ok, let’s look at the brighter side. At least I’m not in a hurry to get my new specs done. And that meant no additional expenditure for this 2 months. Hehe.. :P Anyway, no point doing it now anyway, cos I can’t wear it. It’ll be worse if I wore the new specs at home and during weekends and the old contact lens during weekdays. It’s gonna bring me more discomfort.

Hmm… I wonder if MIS will get me a bigger monitor for my poor eyes when it’s my turn to change the pc… (I think it’s almost time for my pc liao…)

Lobbie mummy bestie buddy, hint hint.. Keke.. :P

Of The Root Of Evil

Posted by: eveie on: 13 October 2009

‘ve been so busy at work. Was so busy with the tender that I had no time for my FOD. And because of that, I initially wanted to use lunch time today to compile my design calculations so that I can send it to AC for encryption. But when I passed the submission drawings which I did at home last night to my drafters this morning when I reached office, I realised i couldn’t cos it’s KW’s b’day today.

I told KW about it during lunch. And Andrea too, had gave up lunching in today cos it’s his b’day today. Instead of feeling “promoted” due to the elevation of his status, he said, “I’m the root of evil.”

*Faint* … … … or rather … … … *Super Faint*

Are You Lonesome Tonight?

Posted by: eveie on: 11 October 2009

Came upon this 我报 quiz last friday when I was having my bfast b4 going to office. Thought it was kinda accurate (for me la) and so decided to share this.

~~~~~

有人害怕寂寞, 有人拥抱寂寞. 独处时, 你是很享受, 还是很难过?

你终于有机会搬到梦寐以求的乡间小木屋, 好友想在木屋外最适合看日落的地方, 买一张休闲椅子送给你, 你希望摆放的是怎样的椅子呢?

A: 藤制凉椅

B: 古色古香的长椅

C: 悬挂式的秋千椅子

~~~~~

你的选择会是什么呢??

选择 A: 你很害怕寂寞, 根本无法独处, 只要一个人的时候, 悲伤的情绪就会涌上心头, 让你胡思乱想, 闷闷不乐. 其实人生就是这样, 有起有落, 还是不要想那么多, 开心过日子吧!

选择 B: 你可以独处, 有时享受寂寞,  有时却害怕孤独. 你的弱点在于很容易被回忆, 尤其是难过得记忆淹没. 虽然一切已成过去,  但是你还是会为从前的种种唏嘘不已, 何苦呢?

选择 C: 你很先手沉醉在幻想世界中的感觉. 一个人独处的时候, 你最常做的事不是发呆, 就是想些有的没的, 完全不会感到寂寞. 你是个性情中人, 会为生活小事感动得痛哭流涕.

~~~~~

Hmm… 那你知道我的选择是什么呢? Keke.. :P

Of Shaking The Bom Bom

Posted by: eveie on: 1 October 2009

Earthquake! Earthquake! A powerful underwater earthquake rocked Sumatra earlier today. And it seemed like the Concourse building was joining the fun dancing to Ricky Martin’s Shake-Your-Bom-Bom-Song bringing tremors when I was in office working.

I was sitting crossed legged as usual doing my work when I suddenly felt tremors. I thought i was being paranoid, until the tremors got stronger and I looked up at Tun and asked, “Did you feel that?” And in a matter of minutes, everyone in the office were standing up and discussing about it. I could hear from the M&E side where this lady said, “很晕咧… 很像蛮强的咧… 需不需要 evacuate ah?” But on my side, we had comments like, “Call Mr O and ask whether our tower still standing or not or have travelled to somewhere else already? Haha..” and “Fire warden, how come you never evacuate us?” where my dear darling replied, “Hello, I am the fire warden. This is earthquake.. Fire is fire, earth is earth.” and everyone started bursting out laughing. Marc was on his mobile and I could hear him say, “I have more than 15 structural engineers around me and non of them are leaving the office! Haha..

It seems like we were enjoying the dance that the Concourse building had decided to participate in. Then again, I believed the sense of relief was due to our office being located in the 4th storey, hence not feeling too much of the tremors for feelings of insecurity. I guess it wouldn’t be the same if we were at the 30+ storey.

The Red Sea

Posted by: eveie on: 25 September 2009

… of taxis was what I got when I left office at 9.40pm just now. Felt completely drained when I left office. Yet feeling so 不安 cos I still have so much to do. Almost brought work home, but decided against it. Cos I know I won’t do it. I’m tired, I’m exhausted, I’m drained.

Waited for 15 mins before a tint of green available cab came to my rescue. While on the way home, reminsced about the “old times” where I slogged thru my work, OT-ing till late at night, feeling tired, hungry, depressed. And tonight was just like those nights.

Tired – From working for 12 hrs non-stop

Hungry – With no food in the tummy except for the prawn noodles I had for lunch

Depressed – Dunno why also.

深呼吸… 明天会更好… I’m keeping my fingers crossed.. Real tight.

The Very Big Mozzie

Posted by: eveie on: 23 September 2009

And when I say it’s very big, I am not exaggerating… Was about to turn off the lappie and get ready for bed when this freaking huge mozzie flew in front of me and rested in front of me at the computer table. And very instinctively, I killed it… (Somehow i hear mumbling words of “罪过罪过”? :P )

super huge mozzie[the mozzie compared to a one-cent coin]

See? I’m not lying rite? It’s huge rite? I was shocked when i saw it.. This is like some mutated mozzie. Thou what I’m gonna write next will make me sound like some psychotic murderer, I still have to write it. I’m glad I killed it.. At least I know I’m not some buffet dinner for the mozzie tonite.. Haha.. :P
