lazy weekends

meant to be spent lazing around, instead of going to lectures :x

took half-day on thursday to dye my hair !
back to shunji matsuo@313, which was where i went for my last dye job in dec.
the color lasted quite well, and i wanted to try the treatment this time :B

my stylist was zenn, and she was really nice and patient!
i wanted to do electric blue streaks next time, and she helped answer the many queries i had.
she advised me to do the treatment this time to prep my hair for the pre-lightning process,
and also told me how it would turn out after multiple washes (ashy-blue).
heheheh probably gonna do this wild color in the future.

loved how my red hair turned out ♥

special thanks to ahpok, who waited for me for around 2 hours.
he didnt wait in vain, cause we were t watch iron-man 3 later ! :D
uncle gave me 2 tickets for the premiere, whoots.

ootd for thursday: 

reversible racer tank top from dandzelia, 

swish it fishtail skirt in indigo from my ever fav TTR.

with my favourite taupok :B

skipped lecture on saturday to have brunch with my sisters !
and recruit loh bowei. hahaha.

went to A for Arbite, at 28 Aliwal St.
strike another place off the glutton list !
love the ambience and layout. feels like a kindergarten classroom :D

blackboard for menu, lego blocks lining the bar, and the tables !

♥

food was awesomely yummy too!
walao if only every weekend was such an indulgence,
i'd definitely expand in size. :x

bowei's pancakes - banana x sea salt caramel.

jingxuan's egg benedict 

me and jinghui's B for Breakfast ! 

i love the scrambled eggs, the bacon, the potatoes, the mushrooms,

the salad, the grilled tomato! okay thats everything except the beans.

truffle fries. second time and i'm still not impressed.

i'm happy with my good old mac fries.

cream of tomato soup, and my iced chocolate. 

this is the cutest pepper shaker ever !

looks like a telescope/metal syringe

to use it, you have to press the knob on top.

like using a pipette ! :B

my sisters scolded me a geek for being obsessed with it,

but later on they also spammed playing . cheyyyy~

ootd for sat: 

basic toga top from pearlavish

leather pleat skirt from megagamie

and metal plate belt koped from jh. hehehe.

jh's ootd.

we're always different like that, i'm colorful and she's monochrome

but no one could ask for a better and crazier sister. ♥

above all, i love the bonding time with my sisters.
its not always easy to spend time with them, cause we are busy with our own stuff.
sometimes i come home and they're already asleep.
so this brunch was a perfect excuse for us to hang out.

cooked dinner for taupok !

was feeling lazy to go out, so we decided to stay at home and slack.

both taupok and jx were the perfect guinea pigs for me to try out my skills.

finally perfected my chawanmushi, after goodness me how many attempts!

this time the texture and taste was just right. :D

first time trying to prepare omu rice too. 

used one egg and soya sauce to season, so it didnt turn out fluffily yellow.

next time i know to use two eggs and salt alr :B

it will rain - bruno mars

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor, oh
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making
To keep you by my side
And keep you from walking out the door.

Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain, rain, rain

I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooh if I were in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Saying there goes my little girl walking with that troublesome guy

But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
well little darling watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right

Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain, rain, rain

Don't just say goodbye,
don't just say goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right


Cause there'll be no sunlight, if I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies, if I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds,
my eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday, it will rain, rain, rain.

more than i like to admit, we still have a long way to go.

six degrees of separation - the script

You've read the books,
You've watched the shows,
What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
Meditate, get hypnotized.
Anything to take from your mind.
But it won't go

You're doing all these things out of desperation,
You're going through six degrees of separation.

You hit the drink, you take a toke.
Watch the past go up in smoke.
Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that,
I'm better now than ever, and your life's okay
Well it's not. No.

You're doing all these things out of desperation,
You're going through six degrees of separation.

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little.

No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself
No, no, there ain't no help, it's every man for himself

You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too,
Anyone'll throw an arm around you.
Tarot cards, gems and stones,
Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul.
We'll it's not, no

You're only doing things out of desperation,
You're going through six degrees of separation.

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little.

No there's no starting over,
without finding closure.
You'd take them back, no hesitation,
that's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have messed up a little.

leave me out of this please

one of the many fears when you first start working would be office politics.

i first experienced it when i started out at my aunt's clinic.
its really ugly, because i never expected it to happen.
the two CAs who backstabbed were ironically the ones whom i've known the longest.
they've seen me since i was bloody six/twelve years old, respectively.
just because i gained a freaking $1/hr raise.
fyi i was earning $9/hr after the raise. and they're earning $16/hr okay.
SERIOUSLY LOR. -.-

such is the ugly and disgusting side of human nature.

mild case of politics when i was training at SGH SOC lab.
thank my lucky stars i was posted out, cause i cant imagine staying there long-term.
lets just say lunch time would have been very emo nemo. :x

bedok lab made me really happy cause everyone got along.. for awhile.

around 8 months later there was some kind of disagreement between two colleagues of mine.
but it didnt really affect me, just sometimes awkward only.
this tension was relieved too, after july's staff reshuffling exercise.

then today i realised that you can never run away from politics -.-

apparently, tongues are starting to wag.
accusations are flying that bedok staff claim time-off atrociously
which makes me feel so pissed mad !

we have the largest workload amongst all other labs, and there are stats to prove it.
additionally, with tampines' temporary closure,
even more patients are flocking here instead of the temp site at geylang east.
280 plus patients in a single morning is nothing strange to us.

other labs dont even have that many patients in a single day -.-

despite the high workload, we dont even have a complete team of staff.
right now there are 5 of us and a trainee.
there's a limit to the amount of work she can do, and sometimes we even have to guide her.
if any of us take mc, there is also no guarantee that there will be a replacement as well.

we slog our guts out, sometimes staying back to finish work even during lunch/after hours.
whatever extra time we put in, we claim back in the form of a half day.
its actually an accumulation and everything is recorded.

so what do these freaking people have to be jealous about? -.-

if they want to have such 'benefits', they should try working at bedok lor.
see if they can cope with the shit we face.
they are the people who can have tea breaks and what not.
me, i dont even have time to go to the bloody toilet. ._.

gahs, talk about (un)fair treatment . -.-

RIP MSN messenger ):

msn messenger has been such an integral part of my life,
its kinda weird to not be able to login anymore :x

still remember when it first started and everyone was nudging like siao.
deng deng deng all over the place, esp in the comp lab LOL.
whoever forget to off sound will kena scolding like shit by the teacher ;p.

the happy feeling when the guy i liked talked to me.
HAHAHAH omg so paiseh saying this,
but i'm damn sure everyone has gone thru that. :B
it was like, the only place where i could talk to him,
cause i was so damn quiet and shy last time.

looking back, guess i really gained a truckload of confidence since then. ^_^

and who can forget all the conversations?
group chat = spam and talk rubbish.
such an awesome way to do project discussion also.
most of the time kena diverted la,
but i actually used it to plan a role play script for understanding theatre.
three of us came up with the dialogue by spontaneously 'acting' the scenes online. hehehe. (Y)

loved all the late night conversations i've had too.
definitely will miss that.

oh yeah, and i can never forget. flooding of emoticons!
wtf bimb's specialty, all the crying/emo onions and monkeys.
plus all the teeko eyebrow raising faces.
and and all the display names. rainbow font, smileys and shit. pattern all come out.
wah super nostalgic. ♥

guess all good things have t come to an end though.
bye msn, it has been fun. :D
