The Story goes on...
JJ and Me..
Qamal and Me...the HR dept has a nickname for qamal actually but I am not saying in case it leaks out...the nickname is actually quite funny...I asked qamal not to fold his arms and so he comes up with this weird face...
I wasn't ready when this picture was taken...apparently uncle does not know how to take a picture. But Walid was ready....so he said.
There was supposed to be another picture and not this but my card had no memory and it's not recorded....so we took another picture. He was smiling when I last glanced at him, but apparently he changed his mind about smiling.
I think everyone is thinking about the same question. WHAT'S UP WITH THESE 2 PEOPLE???
Argh....can't expect much from them. LOL.
Evelyn and Me...came to this dept to look for me and took a picture with me!!! She is v v nice...everytime when I walked into the mkting dept I will make a small detour to look for her and talk a while...and whenever she passed my dept she will look in to see whether I looked up. And if I did she will give me a wave or something. She tried to protect me from all the guys...stupid uncle and co. The hand behind us...most likely belongs to dear Qamal.
Sulaiman and me...this guy was supposed to leave the company the same day as I did the last time. But he came back within a wk. LOL....so now it's my last day and not his...And if u guys notice, Walid and Qamal were behind trying to ruin the picture again...
Qamal found out tt I thought he looked like a pumpkin. Qamal, u are a nice guy la. Don't need to care whether I tot u look like a pumpkin or a melon right?
Uncle keeps saying that I will be back tml. Hehe...I am not coming back for a while ok?
Another person who thought my last day was a fluke. Carol...when I told her it's my last day, her reaction was , "Confirm anot??"
Damn la...I think I learnt the story about the boy who cried wolf well...
Cheerios. Have to think about bidding once again. U will hear me complaining about planning timetables again.
The Story of a Boy who Cried Wolf
That's what happens to me. ALMOST NOBODY believes me when I told them that it's my last day. Everyone was saying, "She will be back next week." Damn it guys!!! It's only after when I said that I am heading back to school then they started believed me the slightest bit.
Even Adeline teases me. She said, " Your job nv seems to end..."
So yes. I am officially unemployed. 2 wks later I am back to a full-time student. Back to the same routine of chasing after trains and buses, running into the LTs out of breath, rushing for tutorials, projects and tests. Hmm...I kinda miss that kind of life, believe it or not.
My last day was hectic too. A lot of work kena pushed to me at the last min. But still, had a dept lunch and a couple of pictures taken. It was a nice ending.
Connnie (from Finance dept) and Me....we talked a lot....
The HRD dept...minus weilin and the new temp Lizhen and Bee Lan who went on maternity leave...
From Left: Jeslyn, Lifong, Erin the manager and me.
And Jeslyn my sis/buddy bought me a necklace!!! It was so sweet of her..Thanks buddy!!!
I am thinking of gg back perhaps on my school reopen day.. for lunch or something. Because I haven take a picture with Khim and perhaps to see Jeslyn again...to make sure that they dun forget me...
Right now I am planning my timetable. Such a pain in the ass. I hope that after wasting so much time planning and bidding, I will end up with a gd timetable. And I dun dare, I am gg to get a 3 or a 4 days timetable. I am not getting a 5 days timetable!!!
Argh...there are supposed to be more pictures. I will upload it the next time. Blogger can't seems to upload them well.
I am tired. Will talk more the next time.
Cheerios.

Leaving others at lurch
This fri is my last day. Don't ask me whether they will extend, because they are currently urgently looking for another temp to replace me...
But fri is my last day.
Kinda sad u noe, after working there for a couple of mths. Did make some friends la, no matter how unhappy u are at work. Will miss Jeslyn jiejie/ auntie/ girl...hahaha. She will also miss me too, because she will no longer see me when she turn her head at her table...she will have to miss me.
Also disappointed that I wun get to see Bee Lan coming back in her slim n fab figure after her maternity leave and wun see how her son looks like. And I most probably wun get to see Aisah the receptionist too because I would be long gone after she comes back from chicken pox mc...
And the money tt comes with all the work!!! No more shopping sprees anymore...( Jeslyn come out shopping with me!!! Help me save money!!!)
Haiz. Can't help it. Should expect this long long time ago.
My life is coming back to square one. From student to unemployed, promote to working class, gg to be back to unemployed status before back to a student.
What a life.
But happy at the same time la. Get to sleep late, wake up late, watch a lot of tv, revamp my blog, plan timetable, rest, outings...my 2 wks of life can get v interesting.
Oh well. Human beings are complicated creatures. Women are hard-to-please creatures. Librans are conflicted creatures.
And I am a human being who happens to be a Libran girl. So imagine tt.
Ok, better get some rest. Will post a super long entry when I am officially unemployed.
Cheerios guys. Hope everyone is happy.

Music Vibes!!!

And the new Nelly Furtado song... Promiscuous. Watch out for Justin Timberlake in here...

Enjoy...cheerios.
Out of Breath
I have absolutely no time to blog these days. Work, go out have fun...it's taking over my life.
Went dancing last mon...realise that I really lost all my dancing touch...damn I have to get it back. After that session it had left me a little ache and sore here and there on my thighs n calves. Endure a little discomfort for the rest of the week.
Went down to Vivo City job fair with my dept...my co had a booth there. So tired...standing there non-stop. And my manager wanted me to 'spy' ard...lol. Went to watch pirates of the carribbean after that. Pre-book the tickets man. The movie is so nice...I kept laughing!!!
And my orlie bloom is so delicious.
Saw a superman returns movie poster outside the threatre...got me laughing very hard becos I remembered the movie was very funny and interesting...
Next, The Lake House.
2 more wks to go, before my work will end. One of my colleague has gone on maternity leave, and another colleague had warned me that I may have to do overtime...oh well. I agreed. 2 more wks only, should earn as much as I can. 2 more wks only to endure so it's ok. I pity Jeslyn. Her workload is gg to increase again and I probably will be unable to help her.
Met Adeline ytday and she gave me my gift from Germany...it's a pair baby shoes n hat from the german team. Interesting...she put in a plastic bag from germany too and that bag shocked a german lady on the street...lol. Poor her. Was shopping for track pants but I cannot make up my mind. Can u believe that after about 6 hrs of shopping I bought nothing? Linda would probably bought the whole store...not me. But I met Natalie, Felicia and Da Ben Zhu la...so it can be counted as not entirely wasted trip?
And sorry adeline...u suffered ytday.
I haven plan my timetable at all...better start planning soon...
This is Francesso Totti...doesn't he look like Charlie Chaplin??? LOL...

Finale
I will never ever support any football clubs again...I rarely got the results I want. This time is no different....ITALY won...damn damn damn. I dun even know whether I should call Zidane an idiot or not. I mean, he was an idiot to head-butt a person...but looking back, that action was kinda funny and cute, even it caused France the world cup. And it shocked out of my stupor. He must be provoked. That I agree.
And Nicole the big poo says that his actions looks like what a boy might do...and she thinks tt's cute.
But I think he got style.
I just wish he had keep his cool. And show off his style in other ways..
What a way to end an international career. But hmm, I have no idea whether that match was the last for France for him or the last match for him. I remembered he said that he was quiting football after wc, but I dunno whether I got the facts right anot.
Stupid stupid italy...they were on the backfoot on 2nd half..they were really lucky to win it. Or I should say, David Trezeguet damn suay. Argh argh....I can't believe how close France came to winning it...
Looking forward to next world cup already. Withdrawal sympthoms coming soon. Starhub's world cup channels are closing...so the withdrawal sympthoms are coming like in a few days time...
At least the media is fair. They voted Zidane as the player of the tournament (The adidas golden ball award) despite the red card. At least they have eyes to see that, despite his fiery temper, he is the best player.
And some ppl actually accused Fifa of double standards!!! Read this... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/soccer/specials/world_cup/2006/07/11/bc.eu.spt.soc.wcup.materazzi.zidane.ap/index.html?section=si_latest
The thing about me is that, I never really outwardly say I like Zidane. I sometimes hate him, because of the times he helped France to beat England. But his skills in this world cup totally won me over.
Oh well. What is done is done. The headbutt shocked the world. Zizou will be remembered...for the good and bad.

Cheerios.

P.S.S Totti looks like Charlie Chaplin. (=

Thank you Zidane
But England out!!! Arghz...at quarter-finals again...at penalty kicks...to Scolari's team. They are simply not breaking their duck isn't it?? It is so sickening and so heart-breaking and so nerve-wrecking to watch the game...but ultimately the depleted team lost. To see John Terry cry, to see Steven Gerrard and Becks dejected...Rooney kenna sent off again, like for the dont-know-how-many time...He kinda nv learns his lesson doesn't he?
But all credit to Owen Hargeaves. He had a great World Cup. Scored the only penalty goal for that match...Nv tot of him much at 1st, but he pleasantly surprised me. He is a great player...
And his curls are kinda cute too. (=
I may hate Portugal after beating England. I haven't decide whether I should hate them anot. But I definitely dislike Ricardo the gk. I always nv like him.
Zidane had an amazing game. Simply fantastic with the ball. France totally deserves to win the game...But still kinda heart-wrenching to see Brazil sad faces...Kaka, Ronaldinho...but their defending has been sloppy at times. They deserves to lose the game.
The better team won.
And since we are at the topic of South Americans, let us move on to the North Americans. The Americans just doesn't get the game huh? They are still not watching the 'beautiful game'....and to think that they had the idea of 'sporting isolationism'...and perhaps like that idea as well...
Perhaps they really had no idea that they are missing out the most exciting and most popularised game in other parts of the world...Anyway just read this article...http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060701/us_nm/soccer_world_yawn_dc
My fave is Germany now(as like many others), and I hope they win the World Cup becos they had been great...
And I put my fave german player Miroslav Klose as the golden shoe winner (= And hope that it's a France vs Germany final. It would be fun.
Oh well. Another week more before the end of world cup. Another few days of sleepness nights. But perhaps I think when it's all over I may have some withdrawal symptoms again...Because I kinda think that the World Cup is ending too soon...
But for now, it's soccer mania!!! Enjoy while it lasts!!!
Anyway, I saw this on youtube and I thought I will share. I saw this advert 4 yrs ago at the 2002 world cup...at that point of time the pre-pregnant, pre-sexy, pre-kelvin Britney Spears is still the spokeperson for Pepsi. So there is this mtv/advert thingy...which has a couple of soccer players in it. Watch it if u interested...
Cheerios guys.
**PS With regards to Linda's post about the video not able to watch, I shall post the url link of the Britney's video here...click here if the embedded video can't be watched. Just watch the vid...becos Britney showed off some nifty soccer moves...even if those moves are fake they are fun to watch...

**PSS And I like this Becks' pepsi video too...the pre-real madrid becks...

Back, to work and to soccer
1st person: Wati
She took the same bus with me almost every day...at the same time. Tt's how we knew each other. And sometimes we took the same bus home after work. She saw me when she was at the foot of the stairs of the double-decker bus..."I saw the red cardigan, and I was like 'This cardigan looks familar.' Then I saw u." (Her words)
2nd person: Receiptionist
Saw my back view when I was at the pantry and she was about to come in...." I tot the back view looks familar, and when I saw ur face, I was like 'hey!'"
3rd person: Carol
Saw her when I went to photocopy documents. She was using the machine.... "I tot I saw u just now in ur dept and I tot I saw the wrong person becos u told me that last fri is ur last day..."
4th, 5th and 6th person: Jane, Walid...and maybe JJ
Saw Jane and Walid smoking outside the building when I was back from lunch...their backs are facing the glass wall of the building. I rapped the glass wall hard, and when they turned, both of them said hi and smiled at me. Then Walid mouthed, " Heh? Why are u back here?" Then I saw JJ somewhere further out there...
I gave them all the same ans.
Lucky I did not need to explain to more people that day...it was getting tiring to say the least.
Oh man.
I am so envious of Adeline!!! She and her father are in Germany right now!!! And she was watching the germany vs argentina's match!!! Arghz....I can't imagine the atmosphere then...It must been so great!! To see all the germans dancing ard with their flags ard their necks...I wanted to be there!!! Ok, if 4 yrs later after my winter olympics vacation I am able to fork out a few thousands, I will go to South Africa to watch a match!!!
Oh please adeline, don't take a picture of u at that match....I honestly can get jeolous enough to rant u....
My friend just send me an email about the 15 most beautiful men of World Cup 2006...
Fabio Cannavaro - Italy, David Beckham - England
Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal, Kaka - Brazil
Dejan Stankovic - Serbia and Montenegro, Landon Donovan - US
Luiz Figo - Portugal, Nelson Haedo Valdez- Paraguay (http://www.oyla5.de/userdaten/81156690/bilder/nelson_valdez_new.jpg)
Michael Ballack - Germany, Kelvin Jack - Trinidad and Tobago
Gianluigi Buffon - Italy, Luca Toni - Italy
Alessandro Del Piero - Italy (http://www.alessandrodelpiero.fw.hu/images/Alessandro_DEL_PIERO-2.jpg), Michael Owen - England
All pictures are from the email unless otherside stated.
Hmm...ok la. Relatively accurate. But I dont understand why Luiz Figo is there...I nv think of him as "beautiful man". Neither is Buffon. And perhaps even Ballack...
But Luca Toni is absolutely breath-taking ( he is my fave italian soccer man...but I dont really watch him at domestic matches..)...even more than Becks. Along with Ronaldo (=
But there are some men missing!!!
(http://miroslavklose09.tripod.com/images/klose6.jpg, http://i.esmas.com/image/0/000/004/273/GerrardNT_.jpg)
What about my Miroslav Klose?? His boyish look, blue eyes, lean body...arghz...What about Steven Gerrard's brooding look?
(http://stevedanforth.com/files/0277/alonso.jpg, http://wolfn8.com/images/freddie.jpg)
What about Xabi Alonso's brooding look?? And of course...Freddie Ljungberg...his body, his tatoo, his face, his looks are all amazing...just look at the big poster at the Calvin Klein's store at Citylink...I wanted to put the picture of him in his briefs but decide against it in case ppl think I pervertic.... but arghz!!! I wish I can bring the poster at the store home!!!
I have a soft spot for all of them....why are they missing from the list?? Arghz!!!
But hey, I watch soccer for soccer ok? Not for the men....
And I do know the offside rule well. But I can't resist the men la...
I realise that I put a lot of half-naked men pictures at this post...hehehehe...
Alright. Bathe now. Before watching the England vs Portugal...should be exciting.
I just realised that Sylvia posted a similar post on her blog too..
Cheerios.
