Satisfied

I think in some ways, I'm a sinple girl who's easily satisfied with life. Headed to town just now to buy some heels and present for Min. Tom was thirsty so we decided to grab drinks. As we were at Borders, I naturally went to look for my buddy. There he was, hidden by the counter. Luckily I decided to bend down as I saw someone there, else, I wouldn't have been in the cafe. Thanx to my buddy for making me my favourite dish and a drink that I really wanted to try. We had Monster Mushrooms and IMM Slam. It made me a truly satisfied gal and definitely a happy one at that. Haha. :) And as always, he refuses to let me pay! Had a debate and in the end, I only paid $7 after saying that if he doesn't let me pay, I won't ever eat there again. Haha. After which, Tom and I headed to Far East to shop for my heels as the pair that I usually wear to work is spoiling. I managed to buy 3 pairs for the price of 2 and I like what I bought!! Am a happy and truly SATISFIED gal today!! ...

Stressed..

I've been rather stressed with work recently.. To the extent that I had bad Monday blues 2 days ago. Last week started to get hectic as 1 colleague was on training and I had a number of things to rush for my boss before she went for her course in Shanghai yesterday. Furthermore, I had to learn another colleague's portfolio as my supervisor doesn't want to cover her work when we are shorthanded. So, the job landed on my laps.. With a very sarcastic comment, "Maggie can learn your portfolio.. She's very smart one mahz." So, I took 2 days off my own work to learn from my colleague how to handle her work. In the end, I was left with Fri last week and Mon this week to finish my urgent stuff that needed my boss's signature before she left. What's worse was that there were some screw ups for my own portfolio and I made the same mistake 3 times in 2 days! Was really upset with myself coz it's not the first time I made this mistake. Sighz.. Think the stress...

2 years ago..

Went to do fringe rebonding today as my fringe was getting too wavy and disgusting. As always, I went back to my normal haorstylist, Kef. He asked me if I was still in contact with my ex-bf, Stu. Kinda surprised me that he would ask this question. Brought back some memories.. Many people were envious of me when I first started dating Stu. Who wouldn't be? It was almost like a fairytale story. I was the temp staff at his office and he was the director of the company. It was a partnership that he had set up with a couple of friends. Anyway, the way we started was like a fairytale in itself.. He is 8 years older than I am, and yet we started dating. As most people know, I'm not the kind of girl who needs her bf to be around 24/7. I believe in personal time and space, and that we all should have the freedom to go out with friends even when we are in a relationship. With Stu, I had more than that coz he was always too busy to go out with me. Our dating ground, almost everytime we me...

Ice Age 2

It's been a stressful week for me as I had to do my currency all on my own and can only ask for help from Tom when I need it. My supervisor wants me to handle it by myself so my afternoons now are only to handle this. Furthermore, I'm in the Staff Events Committee and we had a movie screening of Ice Age 2 yesterday (08/04). It was tiring as my leader was on reservist and Cheryl was on medical leave the whole week. My other 2 partners helped on several stuff and I was running the show. Luckily, everything went smoothly and I hoped all of them enjoyed themselves. What really made me upset was that my dad called at my busiest moment and was yakking away though I told him I was busy. The handphone reception at the area was lousy and kept breaking up. I ended up screaming at my dad in front of my boss.. Not my female boss but the one even higher ranked than her!! Sighz.. It's such a disgrace and I felt so embarrassed!! And here he is.. Yakking away now. Can't stand him!!!!! ...
