Anticipated Serendipity

Blardy hell!!

February17

ARGH!!! I need to blog!!! I need to blog!!!! How come stupid Blogspot cannot access one??!!! *WAAAAIIILLL!!!*

Earlier, after sitting thru a mind-boggling i-have-no-clue-wat-i’m-doing-here meeting:

Me : Hah?? I have to attend the meeting with the client also ah??
Sr Mgr (not mine) : Yes la… u’re going to handle the project mar…
Me : But my boss didn’t brief me abt it also…
Another sr bigwig : Oh, I’m sure she just forgot abt it… she’s ok abt it. U remind her the next time u have ur WIP with her la…
Me : Oh…ok (inside : blurdy hell!! u guys just dumping this on me coz no one else wants to do it, isn’t it?!)

See, the first time they called me in the meeting to ‘discuss’ this project was like, i dunno, a few mths ago. My boss didn’t brief me abt it prior to the meet. Fine, never mind. After that meeting, there was no sound at all abt the existence of it. Today, they called me in again to discuss the mechanics to present to the client. My boss still hasn’t briefed me abt it to date and it’s not like her not to brief me abt the projects she wants me to manage. Thus, my conclusion is that they got no scapegoat to clean up the mess so I have to pick up after someone else’s shit… and I dun even handle this particular type of service in my portfolio! They’ve got the other team that handles this type of service! So tell me again why I’ve suddenly been assigned to manage this?!

I think it’s a conspiracy. They know that the client is the BITCHY, fierce, fussy type so they dun wanna handle her so they dump it to me instead. A bunch of chickenshit, that’s wat they all are… hmph…

BAH!

Dammit, my skin is starting to break out and it’s probably coz I have to deal with morons at work… hmph… get me so annoyed I have to resort to eating junk food *munch munch burp*

NEW Update : Hah! I just received an email from my boss that I’ve been assigned to handle this project. Gah! Great… just freakin awesomely great! I can’t wait to get outta here!

Bye bye ang pows

February15

I kena saman-ed on the first day of CNY! Talk abt bad luck, man! I hate it when cops hide around a blind corner and I only slow down when it’s too late. GAH!

Got caught along the Sri Hartamas road coming out from Penchala Link heading towards Bangsar. The blurdy coppers were stationed just after the overhead bridge that links to KLGCC (i think?). I was apparently doing 104 in an 80 stretch. Who the freakin hell does 80kmph on a goddamn freakin highway?!

GAH! And can’t even get discount on the blurdy saman coz apparently, it was an Ops Khas for CNY and no discounts were being entertained. So now have to pay back my dad RM300, who got it settled for me. There goes half my ang pow money. Minus the other RM300 I had to pay to get my passport done, I got no more ang pow money!!!!! *WAAAIIILLL!* :o (

Mamee anyone???

February15

GAH! I’m on my third packet of Mamee today!

Was feeling peckish so after lunch, went to 7-11 to look for junk food and bought a packet of “10 in 1″ bag of Mamee (long time haven’t had this… reminds me of my younger days when we were forbidden to touch stuff like Mamee, Twisties, Kum Kum, etc.)…

I guess the demotivation is playing its part in me being a junk food junkie. No motivation to work so I have to turn my attention to something else i.e. JUNK FOOD!

Bleeecckk… I need to get rid of these packets of Mamee before my hair falls out from too much perencah. Got 4 more packs left…

The ‘L’ Word

February15

Last weekend, I bought the 1st season of The ‘L’ Word dvds.

I have watched up to Episode 8 since then.

It is quite interesting to see the lives of these lesbians, but whether or not it’s a realistic view of the lesbian life, I wouldn’t know but it’s entertaining all the same. A few of them are quite hot-looking (e.g. Mia Kirshner a.k.a. Jenny Schecter, Karina Lombard a.k.a. Marina, and Katherine Moennig a.k.a. Shane McCutcheon) and not to mention, the steamy sex scenes.

Some guys (and gals?) apparently get off watching woman-on-woman action but nah, dun work for me. But interesting to see how they do it tho, not that they show the exact details but oh well, I guess that’s as close as I can get to watch a tastefully-done lesbian sex scene as opposed to those distasteful, porn ones… bleecckkk…

I think I shall continue to Episode 9 tonite…

I think I’m gonna turn turning into a DVD series addict soon

I bought the 1st season of House, MD as well…

Utterly Demotivated

February15

sigh… am so demotivated at work. Have reached the stage where I dun really care abt wat I’m doing at work anymore and am just going thru the motions, waiting for 6pm when I can pack up and go home. Am still doing my work, but the drive is not there anymore. Normally, when I’m demotivated, I’d still care abt my work i.e. care enuf to get it done well and on time. But now, that drive has gone and though I’m still getting things done on time (most of the time), I dun really care how I do it anymore. This sucks, since I’m quite the perfectionist and need things done well, and sloppy work drive me nuts but I’ve really got no motivation to put in the effort.

Thus, it is high time for me to look for a change of environment. I have reached that state where I need to get out or stay here and rot and get cranky. Have something in the horizon and hopefully, if all goes as planned, it’ll bear fruit and I’ll be outta here soon *crossing fingers and toes*

But in the meantime, slog on I must… well, not really slog lar, the workload is not bad. But still… the work is uninspiring, to say the least… blurgh… 7 more hrs to go…

Damn Darth Vader!

February14

Argh!!! I was chased by Darth Vader and he killed me with this funky-looking gun-like weapon… in my dream last nite…

The Result : an extremely sleep-deprived me, today… my head is starting to pound from the lack of restful sleep last nite, no thanks to Darth let-me-freakin-sleep-Vader… blurgh…

I dunno why but I seem to have an overactive subconscious mind when I’m asleep. I get to sleep fine (no insomnia here) but I always have dreams when I sleep. Like last nite. When out of nowhere, Darth Vader appeared in my dream and chased me and killed me. Hmph. And I haven’t even been watching any Star Wars movies and am not a Star Wars fan.

Maybe I should borrow the BIL’s light saber and sleep with it beside me so I can stick it up Darth get-outta-my-dream-Vader’s @$$ the next time he appears. Hmph. Kacau only.

Good excuse to drink beer??

February13

Got this in my email this morning….

“Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drank, I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn’t drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, “It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.”

Wat about your lover’s knees?

February10

Had a good laugh listening to Fly FM on the way to work yesterday.

They were having this Valentine’s thingy where the caller would be asked to describe their lover’s ‘bits’ (as selected by the DJs) for 30 secs to win a hand/foot spa from Kukubar.

So this guy, Khan*, calls in and he was told to describe his lover’s knees for 30 secs. So he starts, blah… blah… “My lover’s knees are good for giving me a back massage. And there’s this spot behind her knees, where, if I hit the right spot, it’ll turn her on, and in turn, it’ll turn me on” and at this point, I started laughing coz the way he described it, it was so funny!

He managed to make it to 30 secs and then Fly Guy asks him, “So what’s ur lover’s name?” and he says “Alyssa*” and then bells started ringing in my head! OMG! That’s my friend’s boyfriend!! HAHA! See, they both have not-so-common names, so the possibility of another couple with the same names is very slim.

Naturally, I had to tease her abt it so when I got to work, I msg-ed her and she went “WHAT?!” coz she didn’t catch the program. She retorted that he’s gonna get some knee action just to live up to his stories.

Looks like someone’s either gonna get lucky or get hurt really bad… hehe…

*Names changed to protect the identity of the individuals involved, for obvious reasons ;o)

Another one down!

February8

Another lou sang dinner down, and one more to go! :o )

The co. had our CNY dinner last nite at the Tai Thong restaurant at the Bkt. Kiara club, same place as last year. But this year, the number of ppl were significantly lesser and the bosses were less crazy (read: drunk) than last year, probably coz the next day (i.e. today) was a working day and they didn’t want anyone taking MC… haha…

Almost fell asleep in the middle of dinner, probably coz of the wine I’d drunk… haha…

Here’re some evidence of the merry-makings last nite:

(1) Group pic! Back (Chris – ED); Middle (Jessica, Pey Shen, Shawnae, Phik Shan, Celine, Jess); Front (Melvin, Tava, Me)

(2) The Gals! Jas – CEO, Phik Shan, Shawnae, Pey Shen, Me, Jessica

(3) Me & Campbell (his hair is always done spiky but today, he had it combed down… sooooo not used to it! haha! I kept teasing him that he looked like such a ‘good boy’ with this hair!)

(4) Another group pic! This was at the end of the nite, when everyone was drunk. Well, almost everyone ;o) Sitting (Shawnae, Charmayne, William – the drunk one, Melvin); Back (Me, Celine)

(5) Me and Celine – we were taking pics of ourselves with our Sony Ericsson K750s… hehe
