. . My Fair Lady . .

Got back to work on Tuesday. Had a really good rest on Monday. Work was ok. Most of the projects didn't come back today so still quite relax. Rush through 1 visual coz Kay didn't start on it while I was away and it was deadlined on Tuesday itself. Haiz. How? When you want to do it right, you got to do it yourself. Managed to finished it by 5.00 pm.

Got a few amendments to do tomorrow. Think I'm going to be relaxed most of the time tomorrow. We'll see.

Anyway, passed Teo Jie-Jie her belated birthday present today. I know it's very late in passing her the present but I was undecided whether to wrap it or not. I didn't even had the time last 2 weeks to search for a wrapping paper and wrap it. So today I just 'bo-chiap' and just pass it to her without wrapping it.

I had to passed some completed visuals to the main office anyway so I left the bithday present * classic movie DVD of My Fair Lady* on her desk. She was in a meeting at that time. She sms-ed me later saying thanks and that she had yet to have that in her collection. Phew! Least I got her something she didn't have.

Left the office just before 9.00 pm. Yeah, another long day. Kay was the only one left in the office.

Really hoping tomorrow is going to be a relaxed day. My body is aching since Monday. Hehe.

. . Fined . .

Woke up too early today at 6.45 am. Planned to make my way to the bank once it opens at 8.30 am but decided against it after a while. The POSBank at Suntec City mall have an extended opening hours til 7.00 pm. I was thinking I'll rush there after the course ends for the day.

Got to the location *Singapore Conference Hall* around 8.40 am but was shocked that they didn't have motorcycle parking lot there. Where the hell shall I park my bike at then? After a few rounds of searching around. I gave up and park my bike at Telok Ayer Food Centre. *At Amoy Street* Was around 5 - 7 minutes walk back to the location.

The course was not bad. The speaker was quite good. Did had a lot of fun during the whole course. It was more of a discussion kind-of thingy. Not a classroom kind-of course. Had a lot of moving around. Thought it would be boring and could sleep in. But I couldn't. I came in after a few of my colleagues had arrived and they all choosed the back seats. So I had to seat up front.

It was quite the normal kind-of course usually meant for Human Resources personnel. But the subjects taught; about better communications between people, was good for all of us. The course ended around 5.00 pm. A whole hour than scheduled. I couldn't complain. I don't have to rush down to the bank anymore.

Went back to my bike and was shocked to see that my bike had been fined! The guy/gal that fined me must either be stupid or blind or both. My bike parking coupon was just there hanging near the right side mirror in plain sight. Yeah, it was just an $8.00 fine but that's not the point. The point is that I did put a valid parking coupon but still fined. Going to rectify with them soon. Idiots. Make me do extra work just because they did a stupid mistake.

Reached Suntec City mall around 5.45 pm and did my banking. After that I walked around the mall just wasting time before I met up with my family and relatives for dinner.

Reached Bestari Restaurant at Bukit Batok a 'lil after 8.00 pm. Was a good dinner. The seafood spread was really good and I ate a good large portion. *Now feeling quite full*

Not going to blog in about what's going to happen tomorrow. And maybe for Monday *I'll be on leave from work on that day. Yippie!* 'Cause it's kind-of personal.

Got to sleep now. Tomorrow will be another long day.

. . Bonia . .

Didn't blogged in yesterday. Was too darn tired after coming home late. As usual, the mad rush of visuals. *Hey it rhymes!* By 10.00 pm, I managed to complete the ones that I planned to complete for the day, so that Friday won't be so bogged down to a bottleneck of deadlines. Left work around 10.15 pm.

Friday! D-Day for a few projects deadline. I managed my time wisely and also was quite lucky today that there wasn't any last minute amendments & comments from other projects. Actually, there were some. But not deadlined for today. Phew! Managed to "finished" my work by 7.15 pm. Not quite what I had targetted for. I targetted to "finish" everything by 6.00 pm. Hah. Was thinking of running away before anymore amendments could come back to me. But that will be very selfish of me. *What was I thinking?* Even after I "finished" all my work, Kan and Ken haven't finished theirs and stayed back a 'lil while longer. I had to go. Had to do some shopping.

Quickly head to Takashimaya Shopping Centre to look out for a lady's wallet. I had intended to buy one for my aunt for her birthday. If you've read my past entries, you'd read up on where my family and some relatives would go out for dinner to celebrate someone's birthday. Well, we're going for a dinner tomorrow and I want to get her something. She and my uncle bought me something good on my last birthday *the Ralph Lauren Polo Explorer Perfume* and if I didn't get her anything, I'll feel really really bad. Anyway, I got her a simple palm-sized Bonia wallet. I decided to get a similar one for my mom as I didn't get her anything for her birthday last month.

Not that I didn't want to. My younger sis asked if I wanted to share in getting her a new watch, which was what my mom wanted, so I agreed. But later I found out that the watch was quite cheap and that I should had gotten her something else too. So I thought since I was in the Ladies Department, might as well get her something. After the long-awkward-perspiring-browsing of the wallets there, in the end bought 2 same Bonia wallets with a 'lil different colour for them. *Please do comment if you think this was a bad idea of getting something similar for 2 sisters; my mom and my aunt.* I just thought that it'll be nice for the 2 sisters to have something similar.

After I've made the purchase, I made my way to Video EZY. Last 2 nights ago, after checking my bank statement, I'd realised that I paid twice for the purchase of my 2 DVDs that I bought last weekend. It was like this. After the first time I NETS the payment, the cashier realised that the machine's receipt-paper was out. So the receipt wasn't printed. After she inserted a new roll of receipt-paper, she asked me to key in the NETS payment again! ME, being blur, obligingly keyed in my numbers. How was I supposed to know that the first payment was cleared. It's just that the receipt wasn't printed out.

So today I went up to the cashier, *the same lady that served me before* and told her about the double payment. She remembered me. She didn't look shocked nor surprised. Hmm, think she realised about it too. Anyway, I was promptly attended to and refunded the extra payment without any fuss. Just the way I like it.

After that I walked around Best Denki to see if I need anything else. Still have some more cash vouchers in my hand and after 1st April, it can't be use at this Best Denki. Thought of getting a new game for my younger brother as his birthday is next month, but decided against it. There wasn't much choices for a PSP nor Nintendo DS games.

As I head home, I made a quick detour back to the office to get my Adidas jacket, that I might need to use during a course tomorrow. I'll be attending a "Communication and Relation Management" course *or something like that* from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm. *Yikes!*

Thought of sleeping early tonight.

Nah, I'll just sleep in during the course. ☻

. . No Choice . .

Still rushing through the visuals today. Did a lot of amendments and started on a simple interior that I rushed through in just a few hours. No choice, got to rush and do it simple. As long as its of good quality. Managed to passed 3 visuals to Ah Hoon's team as I don't think my can finished it by the stated deadline.

Anyway, got home around 9.45 pm and slacked in front of the TV.

The cycle starts again tomorrow.

. . If I'm a Robot . .

Another Monday. I'm too tired to talk about work anymore. Its the same thing anyway. Not much happened today. Managed to rushed through a simple new render and finished it by end of the day. One of the In-charge came to me in the late morning and present me with 5 new fresh renders that he needed completed by this Wednesday/Thursday. HAHA!!

I nearly laugh&cry at the same time. But I kept my cool. Told him I could "try" to finish up 3 visuals by Friday. Hah! I really don't care about them anymore. Will always going to try to delay the deadline. Nowadays if someone pass me last minute urgent project, I would just say, "Cannot. Next week then I'll give you." Don't give a fcuk anymore. It's really mentally tiring to sit through doing the projects. Imagine this. 1 visual usually need around 1 day of work on it *for a good quality work*. So if you give me 12 visuals *on top of other's projects & amendments* to be completed in a week, * you think I would really want to work on a weekend if I have a choice?* do you think it's possible?

Well yeah, it's possible. If I'm a robot who doesn't have a life, don't eat, don't shit, don't sleep. Then yeah, it's possible. Hehe. Change subject; We had cake-cutting this evening. Altogether, around 9 staffs were born in the month of March. Frecky included. Her birthday is in the next 2 days. I think today we had enough cake to go around. 1 of the cake is quite huge but is durian flavoured, so lots of us choose the chocolate cake. Hah!

Another Photoshop workshop after work today. Nothing much. Me, Ah San and PP had to share with the rest of the team about what we had learnt from our Photoshop Workshop a couple of weeks back.

Tomorrow is Frecky's last day in The Company. I'm going to miss her at work. :-(

. . Thrifty . .

Didnt blog in yesterday. Got home late again. But not 'cause of work though. Work was alright. Didn't really have to rush much stuffs as most of the visuals deadlined on Thursday are done. It's just the one deadlined for Monday are going to be rushed. Not going to stay back late that Thursday. Can rush those work on Saturday.

After work last Thursday went to have dinner at Swensen's at Bugis with Frecky. We'd booked movie tickets at Bugis to catch "Be Kind, Rewind". Was a great show. Jack Black and Mos Def are great! So is Danny Glover! The storyline is not that strong but it's very creative. And their theme of remaking the movies that were accidentally erased was really funny to watch. Very funny and its not those slapstick funny. I sure had lots of laughing-out-loud moments. Very much recommended to watch it.

Friday was a public holiday. As last time, I decided to perform my Friday Prayers at Omar Kampong Melaka Mosque. I think I would only go here everytime when Friday is a public holiday. Not much people to crowd around.There I met ArifR, my ex-colleague from The Company. It's been a long time since I met him. He now work as an architect for a company somewhere around Bugis. He was with his 2 kids. I can still remember the time when he announced the born of his second child years back and now the sweet 'lil girl is all grown up. She should be around 2 years old now.

After I bade goodbye, I made my way to office. I decided to park my bike somewhere at a nearby HDB parking lot somewhere around 5 minutes walk away. It's a public holiday and HDB parking lot should be free. If I park at my usual spot, I still have to place a parking coupon. Although it's only 65 cents per parking coupon, it's still a save. And I don't see it as a saving of 65 cents, I see it as a saving of 1 day parking. And the parking lot that I parked my bike at is covered. Keep my bike from being rained on. Hmm, maybe I should park my bike here from now onwards. But one con is that the motorcycle parking lot is very small. And some is so squeezed small that I don't think I can park my bike in that area. The person that planned this out is either basically some sort of idiot or someone who purposedly design it small thinking that it can save space. But seriously, it's too small.

Left the office around 6.30 pm and went straight home. Thought of going to Takashimaya Shopping centre to get some stuffs but decided to go tomorrow instead. 'Cause if I were to go today then I'll be wasting one parking coupon for a few hours of parking at Wheelock *There's no free parking there even on public holiday*. Do I sound like a stingy person? I think I'm thrifty. I'll be going back to the office again tomorrow and will have to use a coupon. Might as well go shopping after work then. Save me a day's worth of parking.

Reached home around 7.15 pm. Had my dinner and slacked on the sofa. Before I know it, I woke up on the sofa around 1.15 am the next morning. Hah! I must have been very tired and sleepy. Slept on the sofa for around a good 4 and a half hours.

Now I'm wide awake.

. . Nothing much. .

Nothing much to blog today. Wasn't in a good mode most of the day at work. Not so much of a rush but still had a lot to do. All 'cause the deadlines are tomorrow. Hopefully, can "finish" by end of the day. Planned to catch "Be Kind, Rewind" starring Jack Black, tomorrow evening with Frecky. Hopefully the weather would turn out for the best.

Got to sleep early tonight.
