I've been very inconsistent. In everything I do - during my schooling years, my results fluctuates like crazy, not that I've ever failed (unless you take into account the semiannual tests on Bio, Moral and History) but it ranges from 51 to 100, and same goes to Uni - got H1 (A equivalent) in Accounting 1A but a H3 (D equivalent?) in Accounting 1B. I mean, they're both Accounting papers!!! Now in work, I performed well but I see myself slipping... and my professional paper, the same...I need to change this habit. I've been stuck with it for too long. I need to try to focus on certain aspects in life and rid those I can't keep up with. So, point made?

I'm going to stop trying to blog. I can't write as well to make my blog interesting enough like some other blogs I've read and I'm not dedicated enough to update my blog daily or even weekly or monthly. I'd rather use the time I would have spent blogging or maintaining it, catching up with friends over drinks or dinner or coffee.... If anyone wants to know how I am and what I am doing, call, e-mail or SMS me. Even better....arrange to meet up with me! ^_^ Cheers! Hence, this ends the 2nd blog I've started...*geez I don't think I've even reached my 100th entry yet!*

Some people make me so tired... They just don't realise it.

I was supposed to be on leave, but I came back to work because the client could not revert back to us before I left for my leave. I withdrew my leave the following day, because of....sarcasm.

Someone said,"If you don't come back, are you going to brief your team mate on everything that you did and make her explain everything to me? Good luck to your team mate!" The moment that was said, I was pissed till I teared....I was boiling from rage and tears of anger filled me but I realised, there was this part of me that felt really disappointed, disappointed that the person I respect and admire the most had said that to me...disappointed that he had tarnished everything that I have portrayed and expected him to be. He could have easily said,"Perhaps it would be better if you came in tomorrow to brief me on what you did." I didn't mind coming back because it's my responsibility to, but only if it was put in a better manner. Why do people resort to sarcasm? I stumbled upon the blog entry of Banane in this link <http://www.banane.com/2006/09/18/sarcasm/> and it was interesting how he interpreted people who resort to sarcasm as 'resorting to weaker forms of rhetoric.' I even searched for the definition of sarcasm and came up with this:-

1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm

If you look at it that way, how can anyone stand up to sarcasm? The easiest form of humour, Banane said... I agree. I've done it before, but to get it from the same person time after time after time... it tires me, it even spoiled my fantastic Friday evening. It was TGIF! I was jolly but only up to 7.30pm. The rest of my night was pretty much ruined, I hated the fact that I let it get to me, but it did. I couldn't take it anymore and I wouldn't let myself go through it anymore. I've reduced my communication with that person to merely typed e-mails or phone SMSes. There is absolutely no possibility of humane conversations between us two. If I do that, I'd be subjecting myself to more ridicule and it hurts me, what's the point then? Some people doesn't get it and probably never will. It's not like I've never said that I didn't appreciate being ridiculed. On top of that, I've gotten rude comments from him as well. Turning your back away from me and then telling another person you didn't want to talk to me (about work!) isn't funny, maybe I don't have the sense of humour you have (goodness knows from where) but I take it you didn't respect me and was being extremely rude. Even the other person was baffled when you said that. It won't help matters anymore, not even if you added,"Because I know she don't want to talk to me." It didn't turn it into a ha-ha funny situation...uh-uh, no it didn't. With that sentence where you dissed me, you helped me made up my mind....,"THAT'S IT! That's the final straw I can take from you". You've turned me hostile. I'm tired and had run out of ideas how to CONVERSE with you. You've made it impossible... I'm so so so so so upset.

Check out this link <http://www.phlux.net/bboard/message-5101.html> for more discussion on sarcasm... I'm not saying we should leave in a sarcasm-free world, but it would help if it wasn't done so FREQUENTLY!

Currently feeling: lethargic

Right... I haven't been blogging in QUITE awhile... And here I am, typing away with the wailing sounds of my neighbour's baby as my background music at 4am in the morning. No I haven't gone clubbing, oh wait, that was clubbing.  It had been pretty much the same thing the past few weeks, cause I've always been auditing only one client. In audit, we usually get a portfolio of different clients from different companies and we get to work with different teams and different managers/directors. Yep, 'usually'. My portfolio's under the same manager and same director and it's pretty much the same client all the way. It's got its pros and cons, I dunno if the cons outweigh the pros and if I should raise it up to my manager to vary my portfolio a little... Hmm... Other than work, I was on leave for 2 days! Went to Redang with Chuen and had a mini honeymoon trip there. Strolling on the beach, holding hands and enjoying the sea breeze...Ahhh.... Work was bugging me a little during my break but, the clear blue sea did clear my mind of work... 

Skipping historical events, today had been packed with activities! Got up in the morning (okay, so Winky woke me up with his call, I didn't wake up on my own) and got to the Curve for breakkie. Thought we would not have to eat pancakes and headed to Empress Cafe and *gasp* it wasn't even open for brunch! BlarGH...So it was pancakes....again.... Yummy...but again.... Pretty good brunch with Michelle, Winky and Chuen... (I think I've been eating too much). After that, I disappeared into my world of MNG but Chuen was tired and so I had to cut short my little rendezvous there. Managed to buy a new top in that short span of time! Wee....  Took a short nap in the evening and then proceeded to Fisherman's Cove at Starhill for dinner with my family! It was my treat since bonus was out! We all had fish, fish and nothing but fish... 'Twas deelish but the portion is just so-so. Enough but won't be filling, especially for guys. We decided we didn't have space for dessert after all that fish-y business and asked for the bill and surprise, surprise, we were offered desserts, compliments from the chef!!! Woot woot!!! The tiramisu and the hot chocolate cake was a nice treat, I must say. Really delightful! How did the chef know I was on a dessert mode this week? What with bakerzin's hot chocolate cake and chocolate souffle just the night before and Big Apple's doughnuts on Wednesday night......... Ahhhhh bliss....

It was a good good week. No, in fact, it was a fantastic week! We proceeded to Tiff's Jazz Lounge for drinks, decided there wasn't enough singing to keep us happy and we moved on to Plaza TTDI. We love noise, music, rhythm....and we found ourselves in a techno/trance club. Music was good all night through, strong base, steady hard beats.... But wrong crowd. So, so, so, wrong. People were hitting left, right and centre. Me and my 2 babes couldn't even dance 10 minutes without being disturbed. Sigh, these people (some uncles too) were really dodgy la. I'm quite sure they're someone's relatives, can you imagine if they happen to be your uncle or something? Oh ew. By the way, dudes, you don't get girls if your pick-up line is something like "You look like Vanness Wu" or "Why are you so fat and your friend so thin?" or "You guys look so bored"*shakes head* Go figure... And again, good music, terrible dodgy people. Shall stick with Velvet.

Sigh... I'm so happie happie happie this past week. Getting off at 7pm, going for Dragon-I then the Big Apple that I've been craving for the whole week before with Foong Yi and Sue Yee. Distributing Big Apple to whoever I see in office and watching their face light up with the sight of the colourful doughnuts (it's really truly a wonderful feeling to see them so happy!). And then randomly get off at 6pm on Friday to go for drinks at Hard Rock snacking on Nachos and then came dinner with Cezzane, Mich and Nic at Bakerzin Bangsar with lovely desserts to make the night even better than it already was... Actually, come to think of it, it was a fantastic month. Went to Vintry a couple of times with Steph and then to Cava in the middle of one of those weeks with Steph and her sis and her sis' boss and then Velvet with Joey, Mich, Cezz and Kelvin and his friends... Oh me oh my, I'm just so happiiiieeeeee........... Ok ok, next week and weeks to come....Er....save money? Hahaha... dang... I'm broke... Ok, signing off....Muah peeps!

In tears after the last episode of season 3 of Grey's Anatomy, not exactly a perfect way to end a day. 

Brief synopsis...

"An episode entitled “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” leaves a foreboding feeling in the air from the start. What will become of the race for Chief, the Chief's wife, the wedding, the intern in love with his patient and unwilling to admit it, the other intern in love with her married best friend, and the growing rift between Meredith and Derek?"

Yep, all these questions were in my head when the show started. I kept wondering and wondering and wondering. I must say, none of the questions had happy answers. Missing opportunities, getting dumped, dejection, rejection, the awful truth... *ouch* My heart aches. For all of them. It was  a really really sad ending to this season. I can't wait for the next season to be out cause so many things seemed to have ended. What could possibly be the highlight of the next few seasons? Season 1: We had the whole hooha about interns dating their attendings. Season 2: Addison's appearance in Seattle Grace causes Meredith and Derek to drift. Season 3: McSteamy and McVet came into scene...yum... Well, nothing much's left. Meredith didn't work out with Derek, Burke left Christina, George failed his internship exam, Bailey lost the running for Chief Resident to Callie, Karev missed the chance to get Ava to stay. What else can happen??? How can McDreamy and Meredith end it? NOOOO........... Oh well, we shall see.

Oh ya, to those who have been reading. I passed my recent CA paper! Wow Wee.... 2 down, 3 more to go *groan* Dum dee dum dee dum...I shall go sleep now. Need my precious sleep. Been shopping too much. *broke* MUAH
