I spent so much time with my colleagues right now, and yes, I admit it okay?
So once upon a time, I went to eat with them.
On the way in one of their cars, I received an SMS from another colleague who was also on his way there.
The SMS simply stated four simple words: Sia Dow Sia Tun.
I was abit stupified because I didn't get the meaning. Since we were stuck in the peak hour jam anyway, I called up that colleague.
"What were you trying to say?" I asked immediately upon hearing him answer.
"Your ang moh English that bad meh!?" was his reply.
"What!?" I screeched.
"Aiya, later lah!" and he hung up on me.
Boy did I start to get pissed.
When everyone eventually reached and we were well into our meal, I asked the same question "So what were you trying to say in the SMS?"
He said the exact same thing he said before he hung up.
So I made myself more specific "But what the hell does Sia Dow Sia Tun mean?"
Whoa.. what he did next left me with an even bigger question-mark floating beside my head (and they said women were hard to understand).
He... could not.. stop... laughing..
After he had had enough, he told me he wanted to say 'xian dao xian de'.. It's a Chinese proverb that goes something along the lines of "First come first served".. he was trying to like make a 'challenge' to see which car got there first.
Then he gave me the typical excuse that he was driving and could not see what he was typing.
If you think that was stupid, let me tell you something even more stupid.
After a long tired day at work, and a great supper, we were on our way home when SOMEONE dropped his car keys into the drain. Thankfully, someone else held the drain open while SOMEONE put his hands into the disgusting drain to retrieve his keys.
So both of them had their hands dirty and full of black grease. Conveniently, they dumped all their things on me and headed to the toilet. Up to my neck filled with stuff, I could hardly see where I was going.
Cindy Lim's smart brain told her to get to the car first and dump in.
All I did was to take ONE step, and I stepped onto the drain where the car key dropped into.
Let me remind you that the cover of the drain was not covered back properly, so plop! I landed into the drain.
It wasn't painful. At all. BUT IT WAS DOWNRIGHT EMBARRASSING.
The drain was right beside the road. The road was right beside a kopitiam. And there were half a million in that kopitiam.
At times when I reflect back at that incident, I wished it was my head that went into the drain instead. At least no one can see my face cos it'd be full of black mud. Ooh.. MUD MASK!

Went to particular handphone shop called Bla*ing to ask for price.
Let them check my phone everything. Apparently they were so blur that they didn't see the scratch (not that I noticed that they overlooked). Not my fault right? When they eventually miraculously noticed the obvious until could not be more obvious scratch, they totally REFUSED to buy my phone!
Not offer lower price, is totally don't want to buy. I blardy assume that every single secondhand phone they take in is in tiptop condition. Man, I will not go back to their shop ever again (unless they be the last handphone shop in Singapore).
Guess having many branches and a big business tends to make people arrogant.
Bth. Went to another shop instead and they were like so totally different. It wasn't the first time I bought a phone from there, and I remembered there were times when I just asked to look at a particular handphone model, they actually took the trouble to take out everything to show me, the entire package, let me have a feel of the phone and all, though I had already stated at the beginning that I wasn't going to buy it that day.
And mind you, I was served by different staff all the time, so at least there was a kind of consistency in their service.
Their name is Mobile Station, okay? So remember to go to them first if you've got any phones you want to purchase and all (but please don't go and be this idiot who takes advantage of their good service by asking them to take out every phone model for you to see look see look).

Never thought so..
Friday, November 24, 2006
I never in my life thought that I'd be happy/excited to see a bird egg.
More specifically, Joon's bird egg.
Mum sms-ed me during meeting today. Thankfully, I was on my way out of the meeting room when I even read the message, or else I'd have gone crazy in front of not only our 'own people' but also our Area Director.
I think most of the people at the Senoko office would have heard me mentioned "OMG! MY PARROT LAY EGG LE!"
This morning before I went off to work, Joon looked exceptionally weird today. I even told my Mum that Joon might be sick.
Anyway, cut the crap.. here's the tiny weeny thing:
Weird thing was, Joon has absolutely no interest in it, though she does try to warm it when I leave it in her little birdhouse. Very cute sight. Shall take more pix of it in time to come before I remove the egg.

Torn
Saturday, November 18, 2006
For some lighter stuff, now that I've just had an awesome curry chickenatic dinner, and am in a filthy good mood.
Remember David Armand? The guy from about a year ago? He was doing this Karaoke for the deaf thing that is so blardy funny.
Maybe you didn't catch the lyrics. It goes something like this:
Thought I saw a man brought to life, He was warm he came around like he was dignified, He showed me what it was to cry.
Well you couldn't be that man I adored You don't seem to know or seem to care what your heart is for I don't know him anymore
Cos I don't care I have no luck I don't miss it all that much There's just too many things, that I can't touch
I'm torn, I'm all out of faith This is how I feel, I'm cold and I'm ashamed Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never change Into something real I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late I'm already torn...Torn..... (LOL!)
Apparently, his little performance revived the song in a way. Here's a newer one of him and Natalie Imbruglia performing together:

Saturday Afternoon Nap
One of the three most beautiful words in the world.
Saturday. Afternoon, and Nap.
Much as I would like to do the above activity, I still feel compelled by a sense of obligation to update this blog.
This may be attributed by the fact that there very very VERY VERY loud jazz music coming from my brother's room right next door.
Oh, a short note to Fang: Yes, I received that organ donation thing too. Finally. I was telling Fang the other day too, that the organ transplant organisation did not approach me because they did not see me as one who possesses healthy organs. Probably due to all the dog fur and bird feathers that I breathed in throughout the years.
Hmm.. what next.. Oh, recently a small little incident minorly pissed me off.
There is something in this world called 人品. Basically refers to a person's character.
You can be so high, almightily educated. A Harvard grad or whatever, really, but if your 人品 is weak, then you're nothing.
I, however, am different from certain people in this world. I'm not saying that I've got good character whatsoever, but I do not judge a person based on their education level. I don't know what I have ever said or done that make people think or feel that way but I absolutely DO NOT see lower-educated people as inferior to the higher-educated ones.
So what if this guy only holds a PSLE cert. So what if this guy only has N'levels or O'levels qualifications? Still human right?
Unfortunately I blardy as well know some people who just have to look down on them, though it beats me. Some millionaires may not be highly educated, but they still got to where they are with what they know, isn't it?
But then again, maybe these millionaires may have been spurred on because they know some arse that looked down on them and wanted to prove them wrong.

Thursday, November 16, 2006
Most of us don't know what VOIP is. Some of us are using it, and don't know it's called VOIP. But anyway, courtesy of Dawn, a projectmate of mine, you get to see this interesting video:
You don't need to know what VOIP is. Just use it. And be ignorant :D

D&D 2006
Sunday, November 12, 2006
See.. All my life I've never taken part in any D&D before, and once I did, it was twice within two months!
So the first one was the crazy one with Rentokil's.
The second, was a more.... how should I put it..
Basically, the best songs they had were from Westlife's Coast to Coast album. The rest were in Cantonese of which I was hearing for the first time in my life.
But I thought it was quite cool, you know, the way everyone knows everyone else like a really big family.
Then there was the dreaded speech that I was supposed to do, but insisted I didn't want to. Think it was Dad's idea of scaring the sh*t out of me.
So finally, Dad went up to address the Spurway-ians himself, as I would like to call them.
Wait. Wouldn't that make me and my colleagues Rentokilians?
... Sounds quite weird.
So, yea, here's the only photo I took from the entire function:
I was seated at the front table right beside the stage, and so were some from the organising committee. Looking at them blardy brings back memories of my own committe peepz from RPC. It was tough work, but we pulled through. Actually, I thought we were pretty lazy at times, HAHA! But yea, as long as there wasn't any screw-ups, it was good.
Oh, and before I forgot it again for the 100th time, here's a pic that I took with some of my mates from, or affiliated to TP. Yea, I consider Jo affiliated because it was through TP attachment that we got to know each other.
Very unrelated affiliation, but who cares. Here's the pic. We had hell of a fun taking it too! Janet, You better come for our next outing alright? Boyfriends can wait. Or can't they? Hahaha!!
And recently I have a very good friend, who, though being a guy and all, became totally infatuated with Gackt after I showed him "Hey, this is how one of my idol look like."
In fact, he pleaded and begged, which is why I finally decided to bluetooth to him one of Gackt's photo. But the other day, on Friday, to be exact, deciding that he has the whole weekend to cool off, and I also have the whole weekend to hide, I tried to gage his reaction by deleting that Gackt photo in his phone.
Right now, I've had my gates locked, and the entire premise barricaded with barbed wires and stuff.
Did I mention, my dogs are digging the trench now too for the defensive forces that are coming in to stand guard at around 2pm?
Not forgetting ignoring the threatening SMSes that goes something like "MMS to me. I want to see Gackt like NOW!"
So I did. I complied like the helpful friend that I am, and sent him Gackt's pic.
And I think in time to come I might have to call for an air strike or something.

Waddya know!!? Second post of the day!!
Lemme do abit of advertising here. We went to eat with our new manager the other day, and with some creative juices, decided to do this bit of advertising:
(Namecard courtesy of Dennis)
It was perfectly enjoyable and hilarious. We took a group pic before going off, and since everyone had to be in the photo (though one was missing, thanks to sucky school again!), we asked the boss to help us take.
Now this uncle was a jolly chap who cooks grrrrrrreat food. I think I'd go back there again. Wonder if they accept NETS...?
But anyway, he was so cute, I tell you.
Since I was the only one who had a decent megapix camera there (What is 2.0 megapix? Especially when it's N70's!!), we decided to use mine.
I turned on the camera mode, gave it to him, and showed him the button to press to take the photo.
I thought I was already specific and detailed enough, so I ran back to my seat and proceeded to flash my widest smile.
But when I turned to look at the camera, the Uncle had flipped my camera over and was peering into the lense side instead!!
And you know how big the N73 screen is right?
Everyone saw his magnified eye on the screen instead!
To add to that, the Uncle had really nice eyes, and was still wondering why he couldn't see anything in the lense side, so he adjusted and his eyes got bigger, smaller, bigger, smaller.
It was my first time in ages that I had laughed till like that, and I could hear in the background my other colleagues already hooting with laughter, some of them even jokingly saying things like "Cindy! Why you never teach the Uncle properly!"
I did. Swear I did. I mean, after I turned on camera function he should be able to see already which part the camera was facing.
After that, I followed Dennis' car home and both of us were laughing NON-STOP all the way back!!

When was the last time?
I brought Didi for walkies? Well, I can't even recall when was the last time I brought Chubby out. Oh, wait. That was just a few nights ago. Last night, in fact. I brought him all the blardy way to Woodlands and Upper Thomson!!
More like road ride. Haha!!
Anyway, I took Didi out for a walk just now. It was a sudden impulse thing. And with me, perched proudly on my shoulder, is Joon.
I'm thinking of changing Joon's name to Princess or something (Jo, I don't need you to protest, really).
Because the other day I was telling Rebecca during lunch break that I would really like to kill Joon one day.
She thought I was referring to our GM's secretary, June, so she was quite horrified and went "Why!?"
Speaking of Rebecca, look at what the evil girl did to one of our cats that hangs out at our neighbour's:
Ok. Back to topic. Brought Didi and Joon out for a very nice walk on a very nice cool night. So I walked to the back of this condo which was quite dark. Then suddenly, Joon climbed into my shirt and refused to get out. I was quite pissed and embarrassed because I did not want any passers-by to wonder why the hell is my stomach moving like that.
"Joon, get out!" I whispered under my breath. Sure she doesn't understand my every word but she can sense my tone quite well and I was hoping she'd get my meaning.
To no avail. So there I was whispering away like crazy in the dark, while Didi was preoccupied with something in the grass.
Suddenly, I realised why she did that, because I almost jumped out of my skin when this young cat rubbed itself against me. It was those normal grey kinda strays we see everywhere, except this one had an exceptionally black line of hair running along its back. Probably explains why I did not see it in the dark.
And boy was that cat tame! She sat there and stared at Didi, who surprisingly became reduced to this.. pathetic thing that didn't even dare to look at the cat in the eye. He saw it, and then innocently resumed his I'm-busy-with-something-in-the grass activity.
The cat followed us quite a distance, each time purring and once I touched it, it would lie down on its back and pretend to punch the air. I've been scratched before by a tame cat which was lying on its back. I think that cat was just playful, but my past experience was painful enough for me to not dare to touch any cat on its back, ever again.
I was thinking, if it followed me home, I would give it some dog food. Kilo is having SERIOUS gum problems and haven't been eating well lately. In fact, the huge arse haven't ate for the past two days. I'd be bringing him to the vet first thing tomorrow morning.
But the cat didn't. So I decided to be the one to take the initiative. I shall.. go find it tomorrow. Oh wait, I can't. Got school.
Arrgh.. life sux.

Laughing Babies
Sunday, November 05, 2006
I just can't get it out of my head. You can have the sh*ttiest day at work, but all you have to do is to hear a baby laughing and then you forget about all your worries (for awhile).
I don't know how to make Yang laugh like that, so meanwhile, I shall show you other online videos of other babies that will definitely make you laugh along as well.
Turn up your speakers! No tricks! Promise!
Ok. This one has got to be one of THE BEST laughing baby video I have ever come across:
And one whole group at one shot!

Yang's First Birthday
Friday, November 03, 2006
Just a year ago, I was telling everyone about my newborn cousin. Now, the newborn cousin just celebrated his first birthday last Sunday (right after my company D&D). Whoa. Talk about hectic life man!
So now I'm going to show you a (in my opinion) super duper cute video of Yang crawling about at the Fitness Corner when my Mum, cousins and I brought him down.
Speaking of which, here's a few pics of my cousins from my mother's side, though not all were present. I'm just going to throw the pic here so that they can save it and develop it out or something:
He is so super duper cute right?
And lastly before I end this super short, unproductive and lazy post, remember the artwork I told you all I was doing at work in-between my usual (and extended) workload?
Here it is.. finally.. And you think I had it easy....
It isn't nice, I know, but it took uncreative me a blardy long time :(
