How Was Your Day, Erika?

in response to your question, yesterday was such a godawfully fucked up day, i can’t even begin to describe it.

thanks here is due to the one i’ve been able to tell about this among other things

today, i went to the bedok gramp’s and had lunch..gave kongkong my cube so he could you know..improve his alertness and stuff.

i cut my hair. and i went swimming. looking at what i had to work on, it went downhill. let’s put it simply, i don’t want to have anything to do with saturday’s presentation. actually, the presentation doesn’t even seem like ours anymore. it’s theirs.

seriously, i’ve never felt so cheated of writing a report, in my life. on top of that, i can’t settle my slides. what the fuck.

ironic, no? we’ve worked so hard on this thing and i feel the least confident of presenting my part. excellent. and yes, i’m not happy, by the way.

i’m not angry, i don’t even know what i’m feeling.

no, really, if you don’t take it back, i’ll throw it back…no, i’ll shove it right back in your face. just one slide that says FUCK OFF, deal? or would you rather do this yourself?

as a matter of fact, i’m proud of my group. of everything they do, whether poeple notice it or not, because i sure as hell know they’re helping me keep it together. i know i can count on them. and because of them, i’m trying.

if you have any more comments, please, just keep it to yourself? i can’t take any more. unlike what you think, i actually have alot on my plate. im trying to get myself together for one.

so please, just give me, us, a break?

Officially on Leopard

thanks here is due to my fellow-toe, Sam!

______

olrightey! so we’ll start from sunday shall we? i had a pretty good day, period.

______

monday. yesterday. okay. it was quite bad. i got my new passport. so let’s trace passport photos shall we?

HA, i think i didnt look too good as a kid.

i spent alot of time waiting at the ICA and i ended up cabbing home because i think i was suffering very bad side effects from the mood stabilizing pill that i got from the sleep doctor..seriously annoying..

i came home, rested, settled some extra bits on the SHRI keynote and printed some stuff..

OKAY…so..i made my way to school, forced down some lunch, had SHRM lecture..i was talking to pam, robert and then OMG, SAM pops me with the leopard disk..WHOA, i almost died of shock

next, we practiced for the SHRI thing, practiced as in got stuff consolidated and had couple of read-throughs before having taki pakos for snack..

omg, subsequently, it was horrific. sheesh man. we totally got ourselves into a mess. yuck. and to salvage what we didnt think was a mess in the first place, we trooped to cheryl’s house…she has a cozy room and her mom makes good kueh lapis..

let’s just not go!

i basically backed-up my data in preparation for today’s major leopard upgrade…

______

today..i woke up (i didnt have the pill last night!!!) and i actually think i had quite a good sleep…reformated thomas and started the upgrade.. during that time, i managed to organize my semester’s notes and read abit, i had lunch with mama, i packed some bee hoon up. mama was really sleepy..i think she had a dose of sleeping pill at 4am so i think she was still feeling the effects, it was quite funny, sad all at the same time, but still..hahaha!!!

she fell asleep while eating..

Hangover

last night, i took the half a pill. this pill being the one the sleep specialist prescribed yesterday. it took about an hour for me to feel effects. okay, i got drowsy, but not the i-just-took-panadol-and-a-cold-pill kind of drowsy, that’s just sleepy. okay, what i felt though, was amazingly different - it was the thought-preventing kind of drowsy. it’s the kind that things just occur to you and everything’s kinda fleeting. it was way strange because the volume of my tinnitus, which is one of the constants in my life, seemed to fluctuate. i dont know if it was my mind playing being trick-sy but it was NOT fun i was actually kinda scared. i also know that i was not fun to talk to at all.. dammit.

anyway, today, i tried to wake up at 9, but no, i couldnt, i just fell back to sleep. and this happened a few times until 11am. and i dragged myself out of bed. wow. okay, i was actually alright, abit giddy, but fine, i went to mommy’s room and we talked abit and then i washed up. basically, the more time i spent standing up, the worse it got. i was really scared, please. i walked back into mommy’s room and then we were just talking..and then i walked into her door frame on the way out. roight..

and then lunch came..we went to tp for charsiewfun. i was trying to put a spoonful of rice in my mouth but i missed and i realized i was rubbing charsiew on the side of my lip i tried to reach for the soup spoon but kept missing, so i looked like i was carressing the coffeeshop table i tried scooping soup and i was basically scooping the air next to the bowl

the parents decided that i was hungover. fuck man

________

it got better. thankfully.

i rode cocoa today, i must say it was a very different experience as compared to my recent rides..we went for a hack and yeah, it was refreshing..she was running though…

i had dinner with the parents at home today..we decided to eat in for a change, besides, i think dad’s falling sick and we basically cant think of any place to eat any more..

________

as we can see, this blog has a new look once more. tagboards are not supported on wordpress. therefore, if you want to leave anything for me, i have made the link to my TAGBOARD very obviously in the sidebar, you can’t miss it. or leave a comment.

Work

okay..yesterday was a good day. i lazed around in the morning, had lunch and then went swimming. so! after that, i came home and then hopped off to school to meet the toes and titty for the SHRI thing. i officially dont like presentations, okay?

my ‘date’ was horrifying. it was so bad, i was completely awe-struck.  :(  put it this way..i’ve had better. way better, no?

_________

today, i woke up, made name cards, went to school, had SHRM lecture and laughed at sylvia and her push-pop. we hung at the games room at 72 and then hopped off for IBS. networking and tabke-manners..thus the dressing.. :S

more to come!! and yes, the quality will be better…

i left for home and then got picked up to go to the sleep specialist at cgh. she was okay but it took REALLY long, we were in the for like an hour or something..

im feeling VERY bad cos i made cheryl, jasmine and camen wait for me…i was still in the doctor’s office when they typed..dammit, they’ve waited an hour and they actually went for dinner, very good of them!! but still!!! *DAMN!*

i hope work goes well for camen at the new place…

We’re Lost

okay, so here’s the thing..

today, IEMP tutorial was soolright, quite funny as usual..pam was looking good from her IBS..

we had lunch, yes, ALL us toes, went to bukit timah hawker center..i had kway chap and we shared chartowkway and towhuay-with-taohuaychwee-with-balls (okay, the ones filled with peanut or sesame)…

lala..camen and i went home to pick up my passport and then went to ICA. we got lost. again. we took 851 and my mistake. we ended up in south bridge road before it kinda dawned on me that, ay, where’s ICA ah? SO…we ended up taking the train from chinatown to outram and then to lavender. VERY annoying i must say…i applied for a biometrics passport. the bad thing is, i’ve gotta collect it next week..eww please..

always on the prowl. 

Oompa Loompa

sometimes, i think chefs need some oompa loompas to help them.

today…was a very screwed up day. it was not b-a-d. it was just a day full of waiting and very annoyingly boring for the most part. it started with a prospect of a 4 hour break (2hours for lunch and 2 hours of CRM tutorial which was not going to happen). but..mrs tit finished at 10. SO that resulted in a horrifying 5 hour break *shout ‘yuck’, altogether now!* a lot of phone calls, conversations and mix-ups occurred when trying to decrease our break duration. this resulted in us hording onto a 174, heading in the direction of town, camen and sam going to NAFA, jasmine and i going to meridien for korean and a nice conversation. we ended up meeting at the Heeran, camen and sam having wanton mee, jasmine and i watching and the possible venues to be visited in bangkok being discussed.

the way back however..resulted in jasmine and sam going to CRM lecture and camen and i going to SMU to get our SHRI project results.

it’s not that i desperately wanted to know or i expected anything. personally, i just felt REALLY stupid going back to school for CRM when i know i never pay attention and i already sorta know what’s going to be discussed.

i like angelina jolie (yes, that’s what i call ms khoo, shaddup.). she’s really nice and she’s really understanding and genuinely concerned about us. i also know she tries very hard with CRM. i just find it kinda tiresome, re-learning what we actually already know and putting it in words. i’m guaranteeing an A or anything, i just particularly enjoy doing a whole mod on customer relations management and basically smiling and being nice to customers.. :rolls: i know it’s an important skill okay, i know, deep down inside, i know it’s good for me…

okay. so SMU. omg. we had to like have a map la..tsk. ANYWAY. we sat at the Economics building for awhile, shared some mango-flavored shaved ice and hopped off to the Admin building. the toilets were nice. okay, normal, but clean and dry. the taps were also they press-press kind, not the stupid-never-works-for-erika-and-or-camen-hi-tech sensor sort. this was heartening. that one organization actually cares for people like us (or just wanted to save money..whichever).

we were the first ones in the conference hall (in which i was VERY uncomfortable since my tinnitus seemed deafeningly loud) and were for 10 minutes convinced that no one else would turn up. some did though. like 30 people altogether, including the SHRI staff..hhaha, roight, great turnout please.. it was so strange. everyone went”yay!” or “YES!” or “YEAH!” when their team was announced. but camen and i were like “fuck, you serious ahh?”

toes, im proud of us! and though we might have work to do now even though we totally thought it was over, i know we’ll work through it, just like we worked through everything. i love you, ladies!

deciding where to go that might lift our mood resulted in camen and i going to ethel’s (technically it’s not hers, if it were i’d be over the moon, she’s just working in their kitchen) joint to check out the chocolates. this was a very weird experience. she was emo, the head chef was throwing a temper tantrum and camen and i did not get any chocolate. very lame indeed. ANYWAY, she was let off from work since the guy closed his cafe (yes, on a whim, what a lamer.) and came for dinner at the zion road hawker center with us. okay. we missed the stop and ended up waiting for another bus to take us back there…boy, i am G-L-A-D that i have bus concession!

we had chartowkway and according to camen, he was mute. okay, so she ordered. turns out, we were wrong. he’s deaf. he fries good chartowkway, so as long as he’s fine with reading lips no matter the language, then great for the rest of us! must be hard for him though..i had prawn noodools and ethel and i shared cheng tng, apparently, it could have been better..

im back now and on my own internet connection!

thanks nick, for all the help!

how the devil himself could be pulled out of me..

Poles

before riding yesterday, urs, lilbro and i were made to carry poles and wingers to help mike setup today’s course for the jump competition. okay. they were heavy. at least we didnt have to put the poles up..but seriously..wingers are just about the most diffilcut, heavy things to carry. they are very awkardly shaped. they’re practical, but still annoyingly shaped.

i rode saska, and we combined with daniel’s..

i had dinner at ethel’s..it was good! 

_______

today, i got up for 9 mass and i was slightly late. i do not like my stalker neighbor. he smiles creepy smiles and it’s very unnerving. eww

it’s noisy.

i had noodools and bought ben&jerry’s chunky monkey for mama..she was on a sort of packing spree. she was packing and packing and packing..sheesh..asking me to open this and open that, close this and close that..i realize mama has alot of containers within containers which are themselves stored in other containers, secured by a lock and put inside her drawer in her dresser. whoa..no wonder she forgets where she puts things, even people with no dementia will not be abe to remember where she puts her stuff.

i got picked up for lunch and the parents took me to katong. they had taukwapau and wanton noodools..

im home and lazy..i wonder if i should swim later..but it’s getting all cloudy..

ever only all for thee

Uno, Dos, Tres

it has been noisy.

for starters, here’s a snap at wednesday’s esprit endeavor with the toes..omg..they made me do it..

THURSDAY:

i had a rough night on wednesday and therefore missed breakfast at the Ritz Carlton with Oleh and Anne. dammit please. breakfast att he ritz carlton. anyway, i had mee pok and then i met mom and anne at zara. i got a couple of turtlenecks (i think turtlenecks are sexy okay?) and had lunch at crystal jade hollandv. not too bad..kor came too..

i swam with dad in the afternoon and then picked them at from the ritz, omg, i walked into the ritz for the first time in my life and holy hell..that is quite a nice hotel..

we had dinner at the prawnfishing place near home..the tze char is quite nice i must say..

this was also my maiden beer-at-a-coffeeshop experience. this beer garden stocks erdinger!!

FRIDAY:

the parents went to malacca with the bilyks and yeahh..i woke up for school. SHRM lecture. okay. i got lost. they changed the venue to lt28 and yeahs, i walked to the library and down and then up to lt22 and then figured ayyy, i coulda gotten from the library to where i was in like half the time without having to double back or anything like that. so from being early, i was late. wtf. seriously..im SO not into this left-right-direction-changing thing. i need a GPS. *shouts for jasmine!*

there was no IBS tutorial so we decided to attend the SHRM tutorial at 1 instead..we lunch-ed at canteen3, had super salty yongtaufoo and chengtng.. i passed jude’s present to jude, like FINALLY!!! camen helped me check how to get to mohammed sultan and yeahhh…

it was open house so basically the school was super crowded. ewwwww…

SHRM tutorial…blahblah..we were supposed to take a class photo but that didnt happen..SO…we left..and i took 14 from dover to river valley…BUT i had to walk (according to the 7-eleven lady) 20 minutes to mohammed sultan. kay. so i started walking…ending up, i think she meant 20 minutes-brisk walk. roight..i was kinda walking normally..and it took 35 minutes. no what, who said it was hot and i got caught in all the traffic lights, no lah, i didnt. *makes face *

ethel got done with work and we had jap in the great world basement. it was quite good! thanks for the recommendation and all the help camen!!!

TODAY:

i woke up, watched tv with mommy and then heard alot of bitching..and then went for lunch. yes the 4 of us. okay. i dunno why mommy’s so affected with small things. i think dad’s right. she’s quite a control freak..and then it’s always about kor. im not saying he’s bad or anything. it just always seems to be him. and it’s majorly annoying. i dunno if it’s really him or if mommy’s just hyper sensitive about things related to him or mommy’s really picking on him. it’s damn irritating. i slmost wanted to just settle lunch on my own, come back, pick up my riding stuff, ride, come back, shower and settle my own dinner and stay at mama’s tonight. i know they’re taking the bilyks to pete’s place tonight. i mean it’s seriously annoying. once she’s annoyed, we’ll never hear the end of it and everyone’s affected. omg, it’s a fucking saturday, please.

on the other hand…dinner sounds good tonight… no, im not going to pete’s place…

Stop It

okay, i didnt have a bad day yesterday..i went to school, okay, yes, i did. RMW lecture was a drag..CRM was so-so..and then it got better..

i was supposed to meet natasha lim, but that plan was cancelled, so i hopped to town with camen for project shop. we walked far east too. all this in hope of finding a bag for me. none.

we had an early dinner at wisma and yeahh..well..

_____

roight. today, was a better day..i got up and then met camen at ICA for her passprt application, had breakfast at some food center, met cheryl, walked in some accessories store called golden dragon and had tong shuei and then met jasmine. we booked the bangkok trip!!! oh yeah!! 23rd to the 27th feb!! yumm!

we walked in town..got cheryl’s wallet at taka, looked for bags for me, went to vivo, and looked some more. and yes, now i am back to square one. i have no bag to even consider, save for the one at espirit. i think i should wait for bangkok..

shut it up!

thanks here is due to Nick, for helping me get connected to the www.. you’re a lifesaver!
