Long D.E.A.D.

Such a bummer to have to blog when things are long past. This goes back to 18th Aug…prepration for an order of 200pcs of wedding miniatures due on the 21st. My design. It was just me & my boss. Lotsa piping & dotting with icing. I repeat, MY design. It drove me dots. Brought on my RSI(Repetitive Strain Injury) relapse. My right hand had cramps, my grip had zilt strength, hands were shakin & joints were all aching..ugh..The piping of the wordings weren’t so bad, it was the dotting with icing that drove me up the wall! It was a torture. Even had difficulty typing an sms! Pathetic! Finished work around 8 or so that evening. Back breaking & shoulders felt like they would drop off any moment. The ‘Let’s Go Shopping’ program(with P.Mok & B.Wong) was showing that night & both of us couldn’t get to catch it. BUMMER!!! Apparently, apart from my boss, Frances & I got caught on TV too!! YIKES!!! But both of us got informed that we were on screen..our mobiles started going off by 8ish!! Next few days started work damn early & finished about 6ish? 7ish? Or so? Can’t think straight…:P (Didn’t get to go home this few days!!!) And, probably due to the program, biz was Exceptionally good since then. Phones were ringin non-stop, people were streaming in continuously! Scary…1st thing that popped into my mind: ‘what…is it christmas already??’ EEeeeEEE…. Problem was..all our time was dedicated to all the orders & the miniatures. Didn’t have time to stock up at all. Sat came & finally, time to do our stockin up of our freezers. Ready for ‘war’. But..my ‘war comrade’ got food poisoning!! So I had to do the croquembouche alone *sob*.. Poor boss…she went home later that morning anyway. So, we all did a little work, finished around 5ish that day. I made a list of all that’s to be done on Sunday. Knew I was gonna be workin quite a bit so decided not to go back late on Sat. Sunday came & good grief…huge pile of work to be done. Freezers were SO damn empty & they sold off the last Cocoa Napolean!!! Argh!!! That pressed my panick button. Work. Work. Work. No time to stop to think or do anything else. Wanted to finish as much as I could so that when she came back to work on Monday she wouldn’t have to work so hard esp just after recovering. So tired I could hardly move. People were askin me out but I had to turn all of ‘em down. All I needed & wanted then(actually still do!) was sleep. Couldn’t walk straight. Monday came, and there was still a huge amount of work to be done. Today’s Tuesday. Finally, but only Tuesday. Still work to be done. Things to prepare, deadlines to meet etc. My off day never seems to come… For the 1st time in a long time, I feel exhausted to work. Wished I could take a few days off to snooze in bed & do nothin else. Apart from work, Frances is getting married-need to compile her songs, lotsa things to do, boss getting married, more prep work to do, Kerry’s getting married-more work to do-gotta do her wedding cake(SUPER STRESSED!!) & help wrap her cutesy favors! :) Sis & I have to go hunt for some material. Boss & I have to go buy material for my dress..Goodness…so much things to do…I need more time!!! *GASP* See!! It’s not that I don’t wanna go out! I can’t! And look at how long my stupid post is! The past few days have been such a blur that I’m only posting bits & pcs of what I can remember!

Topsy Turvy…

Seems like everyone’s havin their round of problems right now…don’t wanna mention everyone’s name.. but I hope everything gets settled soon & some light will be shed upon the problems.

2nd day of work at D&N for DC today. Just got a call from her & got the inside scoop. Seems like works very tough & people are ‘non-friendly’ & ladies, bitchy. Sounds like a tough one…poor DC. Wish I could go have lunch with her sometime.. I can only hope things’ll get better for her too..

Anyways, I just bought both of Corrinne May’s album! And to think that when Michelle was telling me about her, I wasn’t too ecstatic bout it just coz she’s Singaporean. :P Wasn’t expecting much BUT… I passed by a CD store & somethin made me go in & check it out. And you know what??!! She’s DARN GOOD!!! I’m SO, SO, SO proud that she’s local. Her song ‘Fly Away’ is so touching. Lyrics are in the simplest form of English but yet the amount of feelings that get churned out are just simply, amazing. This is only one of the few superb songs of hers. Go check it out people! Just after listening to her, I wanted to go for her 1-night concert at Esplanade but sold out….darn!

You know how some artists sound so good on CD but sucky live? Well, I heard her live unplugged over the radio & boy, did she sound as good as her CD! No regrets!

psst…I actually wanted to buy the Initial-D soundtrack for the longest time since it was released but got Corrinne May’s albums instead! :P

Rude-licious Day!!!

It started a very nice early morning…then someone had to come wreck it all. At least for the morning anyway(until I got my sista’s msg)…. Damn it! Everythings my fault! Everything I do is wrong! Sure, because I ain’t important enuff. Not good enough. My words carry no weight. Yeah yeah yeah…. blah blah blah…

                                       DONT F**KIN ASK ME THEN!!!

Go rely on your stupid useless jack-ass-face loser slacker cum everything else shitty worker then!!!!! Really screwed up my mood & I ignored everyone. For a while. I was so pissed! I’m already trying my goddamn m*th**rf**kin best here alright???!!! Not to mention givin my whole entire wasted life & soul to you(generically speaking), & neglecting everyone who’s ever meant the whole f**kin screwed up world to me.

                                      NOW AIN’T THAT ENOUGH???!!!

I’m just an ordinary person here ‘ite??!!! Ain’t got not that much more to give!!! Now get the hell off my back!!! Later on, that someone’s attitute changed a ‘lil better & I calmed down & left it at that.

Anyway…we’re going to rock @ Beyond’s concert Oct 15th!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!! I’m so excited!! This, alone, is enough to cheer me up!! Can’t wait to see & hear them but at the same time, I wish that day would never come coz that might mean we’ll never get to see them perform again… double-edged knife….damn it.

SY & I followed Frances to her gown fitting today!!! She was supposed to go try her sari @ Little India but she wouldn’t let us go so that’s why we ended up going for her gown fitting instead. Well, better than nothin’. She really looked so wonderful in her gown except for 1 or 2 little areas of her gown… SY & I both made quite a bit of noise & ‘comments’ on the gown & whether some things can be done & changed etc & I think we pissed the lady off a ‘lil.. It wasn’t anything personal but just coz we both wanted our dear bride-to-be to look really pretty! Stuff that the lady said sounded more theoretical than anything else. Everybody’s body differs, that I have to agree. But, 2 big-sized ladies can be very different as well. How can you term them under the same category???!!! Don’t just do things according to theory, do things that’ll suit the person! I mean, shouldn’t you trust your eyes more than your theory??? Some people are just plain stubborn… Obviously she doesn’t really take criticism in a positive manner. Room for improvement, lady!! Same goes for me, of course! :)

I messaged ‘kare san’ last night & we chatted over sms a ‘lil. hontoo ni isogashii. Well, guess I shouldn’t be pushing otherwise I’d only be adding to the stress ‘kare san’s’ feeling eh?? Just worried for ‘kare san’s’ health..*shake head*…tsk tsk tsk…

Lastly, I’m always here for support, sis! Never, never gonna leave your side! Just don’t keep things to yourself, yeah? Anything, just call or whatever, k? Miss you!!
