post mortem on a very bored girl

its 5:27 at last - a ray of hope shines through my agonising wait for the-end-of-the-day to arrive. Why ? Cz, i can get of this place.. my prison.. my cage.. my work place. You can't imagine the mental torture i went through today. sob.sob *whine*whine*

I am suffering from a case of acute boredom today. its not that i've got nothing to clear in my in-tray, but, well, i just REFUSE to get down to do ANYTHING. yes, its one of those days when you'll just mull the time away, doing nothing but pretending to work, while, you get spirited away in your mind to the grand canyons, or, the rockies, or to the sisten chapel, to the swiss alps, ski-ing, diving, enjoying in the sun. mmmmmmm.... nice....

oh - look at the time! its already 5:36.. whew! official knock-off time. ciao babes... till then, be good. ;)

MayDay! MayDay! Our plane's.... ....

Had a self-declared long weekend - boarded a plane on thursday nite to KL. Yes. . the long awaited trip. The travelling portion of it was terrible, the stay itself ? Wonderful. (",)

For the very first time, i travelled by AirAsia... sounds exciting isn't it ? New budget flight that created so much hype when it started in october, last month. And, was so proud of myself that i manage to get RM19.99 tickets for our trip up, and RM60 for the trip back home. The fun just doesn't end here - guess what ? We were suppose to board the plane at Senai, a domestic air strip up in Johor, and to find our way that, there's the awesome bit. There was no direct coach from singapore to senai - we had to change a bus at Larkin - the bus interchange in JB. And trust me, its no joy ride up.

When we reach senai, phew!... not knowing that there's more installed for us. We realise that, we need to walk and climb that flimsy ladder up to the plane! it was fun i have to say - first time. But my heart goes out to those with kids in tow and babies in their arms. It isn't really easy.

Seats are free-seating, so, like any typical singaporean. here, i have to mention that i can't help but notice a similarity here between johorians and singaporeans - it seems the close proximity of locality has somehow caused the kiasuism spirit to diffuse over the causeway. Funny! they were all grabbing seats nearest to the airplane exits. Gosh! But there are a few of us who looked at one another sheepishly, ashame at how our counterparts acted.

The flight itself, well - 1 word - Bumpy! Its like hitting air pockets all the time, turbulence out of the 80% of the 30min ride. Can you beat that! and you bet the landing was hard on that tiny little air bus. Jem and i were discussing in mock delight how lucky we were to experience a frequently played scene in hollywood, featuring mexican domestic flight going down. . It was the exact scenario. Really! No kidding! ~ Dim lights, unstable, bumpy feeling, crying babies.. and yes, even the air conditions seem to be broken.. minus the chickens screeching - the picture would have been a flawless depiction.

I have to say that its really cool to experience such a thing - but i guess the trip up from singapore to senai was terrible. I think i'll give airAsia a miss next round.. definately.

Preening

hi, it seems that i've been whinning for the past few entries. sorry guys! but really - like what i say, its easier to spend time whining then jotting down all the fun i had. I mean, like everyone says, time flies when you're having fun, so, if i'm having fun, the time just zips by, without me having enough of it to write anything in this blog. Make sense ???

Anyway, i thought i'll recount my very first experience to the manicurist... yes! a girlie thing to do isn't it. Well, i ain't proud of that, thought some of my girlfrens declare "you're a girl!!!!what's wrong with that!!!" i know-i know - but i just can't help feeling like i'm some docile, weakling, preening around with my well groomed finger nails and toe nails. Get the picture?

I think it was a weird feeling having someone working at your fingers and toes. . like cutting, polishing, that sort of thing. The last time i had anyone do that for me was when i was, what - 12? and, that was my ma-mmy who did it for. So, its really strange and awkward to have it done that way. As for the hearsay that its painful.. (all thanks to steph, a fren of mine who walked funniely after her first manicure/pedicure visit).. its not that painful .. not as if the rats has got your digits or anything like that.. So, that's my very first visit to do some girlie stuff. (",) thank goodness i didn't spend a hefty sum on doing my nails - i'll probably commit sucide.

gosh! i'm totally knackered - yes, on a tuesday morning. i guess its accumalated over the weekends, and, last nite's dinner. was out till around half past five in the morning before heading home on sunday morning itself. Had quite a ball with some old frens who i've not meet for centuries.. well, not exactly, :P probably abt 9 to 10months, thereabouts. It was great - we vow to meet often .. welll, don't we just always do that - vow to meet soon, often, and then, when the reality comes, everyone's too caught up in their own world. No-no, i'm not pointing fingers at my frens, i'm guilty of it too. We really need to get out of this vicious cycle. Reckon most ppl really do mean it - to catch up or meet up more often. Well, i , for one do sincerely mean it when i say that. But, its just tough to fix up and get along with everyone's schedule, don't you think.. Arrrhh.. the wonders of time management in an adult's life. Don't you wish you're a child sometimes ? It seems that you've got so much time on hand that you find yourself counting your little digits. Err.. you don't ? errm.. okie. . .


Anyway, back to the time i was home - before i get to enjoy the comforts of my bed for at least an hour, my mate called to tell me that they were short handed and needed me to be there for the church event that we were organising for. can you believe this - talk abt ill fortunes!!! had to drag myself out, wash up, and drove down to tanah merah. Quite a torture, i have to say.

But well, manage to get home by 3 in the afternoon to catch on my sleep. was good, but it didn't seem to be enough!!! till today, i don't seem to have enough of sleep. :( and till now, i'm still suffering from lack of sleep. terrible isn't it ?

A Not so Bad Monday

had a pretty good start to the week today, well, despite the fact that i spent close to 45min dressing up. Its quite an unthinkable stunt for me to pull. I don't usually take that long to "doll-up" really. I'm that kind of girl that's ready to go for a wedding dinner in just 20minutes flat. That includes shower, deciding what to wear, make-up and hair. Pretty impressive eh ? Well, its not just talk - i did just that for a friends dinner a couple of months back. So... to take 45min to get ready to go to work, its pretty unusual for me.

What causes me to take eions to get ready for work, you might think.. well, i have no answer...errr.. its just one of those days ??? Well, since there's nothing or no one to pin the blame on, i think i shall just conveniently point the finger on that new pair of dress pants i bought.. or should it be that impossible blouse that i picked??? well, it has to be the pants ... I just don't know why i look kinda weird in that pants - its as if i'm wearing bloomers, except that it goes round below my ankles. I look like some geek whose got terrible dress sense. i was trying to make myself wear that dress pants (well, since its new, and i have got to wear it) and tried on different things with it.. well, it just proved itself hideous after the whole 35min. In the end, i ditched it - which i wish i had decided it much earlier, and was by then really late for work.

Well, at that - my mum's suggestion echoed in my head : " why don't you just decide what you're going to wear the nite before?" !!!! Exclaimations, Exclaimations, Exclaimations... who in the world does that???!!! i wonder? gosh! i find that a total waste of my precious time. On hind side, i wasted more then 30minutes finding that my new dress pants make me look like a clown. *sob*

But.. still.. i don't think what happen this morning is going to make me decide a day earlier on what to wear. Well, and what happen today isn't really first time. Let's just say that i don't really do learn from my lessons in this case... ... (",)

Let's take a poll - how many of you do think about what to wear for the next day, and how many don't.

Well - there's me for sure, which puts the count to 1. :)
