Egad.

Today I did many interesting things around the house and feel really proud of myself.

I slept like a pig and woke up in the afternoon. Went grocery shopping with Nagalot and Poppadum to prepare for a tomorrow's good dinner. Gooey Gecko was kick-starting the major project at home while we shopped.

When we got home, I took a break and then helped Gooey Gecko and poppadum with giving the porch walls a white-wash - the major project. Gooey Gecko left shortly and I took over as the 'main guy'. Poppadum played the ássistant guy'role because it was almost evening time and Poppadum couldn't see clearly when the sunlight was dimming. Anyways we gave those walls our best! Walls look clean and nice now.

I trained myself to balance on the ladder while working. Now I'm no longer paranoid about tipping over at the top of the ladder. I found my balance........

I climbed that ladder a 100 times today for my next job after that painting project. Poppadum wanted new fluorescent bulbs in those porch lamps, so I helped with the ladder climbing part. I figured that if I fell, it would be easier for Poppadum to help me, rather than I help him. Then also I figured.. I didn't want to fall.

Well the first lamp went well (I have 2 porch lamps) but the 2nd had a little problem. The connector component from the lamp starter and the lamp bulb was loose and when I removed the old bulb, it came apart and dropped into many pieces on the floor. I was particularly irritated with this because I know that I'd be the only one who can solve the problem - Poppadum has inadequate eye-power to examine the parts and his fingers aren't as nimble (He's a Bloke! Blokes do big things, not details!).

So ok I tried to fix the parts back into the component, and fixed in the new bulb, flicked the switch, and............... nothing happened.

So ok I removed the bulb, took the component out and opened it, and tweaked its insides a little, fixed the component back, fixed the bulb back, flicked the switch again, and........... again nothing happened.

So now very sian already.. then I redid the whole procedure. Then when I flicked on the switch, the bulb lit dimly..... so I suspected that the starter was old and prolly faulty.

So then I took out bulb, took out component and opened it, replaced starter, put everything back, flicked the switch, and...... still the bulb lit dimly.

Egad I was pulling my hair out. So I realised its not the starter's fault. I suspected it was the poor connection in that busted component giving the problem. So I removed everything again, opened the component and carefully studied the blasted thing. I realised it was such a poor design but that's another complaint for another day. So I gave it a major tweaking session, taped the whole blasted component, and fixed it back and fixed the bulb back.

Flicked switch, and then "Let there be Light!"

I yelled "Hurrah!!" in my heart, but my flesh and my blood was exhausted so I didn't really do it. It's no joke ok the standing on a ladder takes many muscles to control your balance so you don't tip over like Kramer. Plus the ladder rungs are so painful to stand on! Plus earlier on already did the painting while on the ladder. My heels feel so abused now. Don't play play ar..

So I paint walls, climb ladders, fix lamps. Now if I just pulled up a pair of denim overalls then I'd be The Man. I think I'd made a helluva good bloke.

Time to rest.

I am not dead.

I am back to say that I am not dead, and neither did I give up on my little sacred space of infinite self-reflection. I've just recovered from a busy period at work, so now I'm starting to let loose and reflect on the rights and the wrongs, the birds and the bees. Hmm, that didn't sound right.

Nevertheless, I'd like to share with you on what I've learnt.

I'd learnt that, if.. u binge on Indian cuisine at a celebratory meal after a busy period, u will generally get sick, and can get very sick all rather suddenly. I'm telling you this from first-hand experience so yáll better believe it. Resultingly i didn't enjoy my weekend as I was nursing a headache, a really sore throat and a nose that was partially runny and partially blocked.

The horrors of a partially runny/blocked nose - I couldn't decide whether to blow it or not. The first option would leave me with an even worse headache, and the latter would leave me with... well, a very messy face. I had to go to bed with 2 tissues rolled up and stuck into each nostril.

Well I wouldn't want to bore you with the details.

So all in all, if u had a long 3 weeks with lots of OT done, please do your health a favour and eat food that is easily digestable, non-spicy and less oily. Lest you wanna end up like moi, la dee da.

O'yes, happy 1st of February, everyone!

Good nite!!

Poser Fillers

I hate to admit it, but I think I had over-estimated my capabilities in producing the results of my secret project. Sorry to disappoint anyone following my entries (anyone at all?), but I'm quite determined not to reveal the details of my project until I have something to show.. Otherwise like to braggart lidat. I am PoserPup, not BraggratPup. So there.

* = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * =

And now for some Fillers...

* = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * =

I've recently discovered that I have a detractor.

This sneaky no-goodie-two-shoes lice-attracting mutt!!

How does he have the decency to degrade my artistic talent and rawr power!!

He thinks I dunno, he thinks he can get away with ravaging my dignity to shreds until there is no more of poserness left?!?!

He thinks I won't fight back, he thinks I will wallow in sorrow and be engulfed in my own world of anguish and pain?!?!

I say.

He is WRONG!!

I will fight back!!

Just you wait - you no good two-faced vermin of a...

.. pure breed Labrador canine..

(not his real picture)

Who stays next door and barks whenever I sing in the toilet..

Is my singing THAT BAD??

Hates u.

♥

Onwards, PoserPup!

Now that it's been about a month since I settled into my position with Society of Beaming Rhinos, it is time that I DO what I have been SAYing for several weeks now - pursue my interests with my spare time.

Actually I can say that I have already started on one - that is to do up my blog. I think a blog is very important to me because its like a diary - only better. It allows me to keep track of how I have been spending my life. Little by little, my experiences may seem trivial or boring each time I write an entry. However I believe when I am old and developing rheumatism, I will enjoy reminiscing the past thru' reading my entries through the archives. On a separate note, I hope Blogger will live long and strong, since my database of entries is maintained on its server.

One thing about my personal interests is that it is sooo varied. I have sooo many interests/hobbies that I'd like to pursue but as a working professional, it's hard to commit and I feel my Achilles' heel nagging at my motivation.

Still, I don't want to live to the age of rheumatism and have nothing to show my grandchildren aside from my lame sense of humour. Thus I am quite decided to work on this new and upcoming project that is something that I have been wanting to do for YEARS............. YEARS i tell u.

This very cool project will be launched this weekend, and I will TRY MY BEST to be disciplined enough to update my progress, here, on a daily basis. I shan't elaborate on it right now because I'm really sleepy from a very looong day. Thus be prepared to see more on this very cool project in less than 48h time.

With this, I bid all of you.. bonne nuit mes amis!

Moon Bright Bright

The night sky's clear today and the moon is bright bright today.

It's really pretty 'coz the clouds are lined with a faint turquoise colour.

Attempted to take some pics of the night scene with my beloved N86 but it didn't work out. The lighting was wrecked by the nearby lamp post and it was really hard for my dear N86 to focus. Thus I gave up and deleted all the blurry shots after several attempts.

No chio pic for u tonight. Boo.

♥

It's Pretty Damn Pretty

I had wanted to post this a week ago but I had some problems with uploading these from my beloved Nokia N86. The problem was that I left my phone-USB cable in office. lolx.

So, I was making my way to Society of Beaming Rhinos other office (we have more than 1 offices in town) for a training session some time i

n last-last week. The weather was really hot, and it was one of those mornings when I woke up on the wrong side of my bed feeling a little grouchy.

When I exited the subway and emerged at ground level, my grouch dissipated like the gentle wafts of the sun-lit mist in the morning breeze of spring.

Whatever that means.

I saw the prettiest sight I'd seen in several weeks..

Chio boh??

This pretty sight was the result of the heavy rainfalls flooding Bucket Timama several days back. The pic had been taken about a day after the torrential rainfalls.

With Cluck Key Subway in the backdrop..

Hope u like what I liked!

Gnight!

Relak, Saturday (Cont'd)

Tis' a bit odd that I'm updating what I done on Saturday on a Wednesday. However due to fan request (PushyPanda), I will update on what I had done on Saturday. Otherwise I will have no more credibility and no more face to continue to survive in society.

So Saturday I didn't go out and buy a cake for Poppadum.
I did some cleaning tho' but not much. I'd wanted to put on a video to watch as I worked, but eventually I got too distracted and stopped working instead (I am still proud that I had tried..).

The show that got me to stop cleaning was "You're Beautiful", korean drama. The story is similar to "Coffee Prince", but the setting is something else. Actually I'm not too impressed with the storyline. The CP actors, imo, were much better than the YB actors. Also, the lead actress in CP was cuter than the YB actress. However, cause I have a bimbiotic mind, I just watched it anyways. Think I'm just stubborn and want to quickly finish the show.

I'm not gonna provide any synopsis of the show here, k-fans can go and check it out yo' check it out.

Ok that's all I have for today's lunch time brog. Tonight if got mood will come back and brog some more.


p.s. I'm so excited this Friday is a public horridae! =D~


♥

Relak, Saturday!

It's nice to know that you finally can have your own time, just for yourself.

It's been about 3 weeks since I left that horrid place, but I'm still appreciating the betterment from the change.

I get to sleep in without feeling the dread of having to go back to office to try and cover more work..

I come down to the living room, have a mug of strawberrie cereal with milk, and put my laundry to wash. Then I come here to facebook and blog. My windows are kept open and I can hear the birds singing in my garden and from my neighbour's trees across the lane that divides our houses. It helps a lot that I stay in landed housing as opposed to HDB. But I guess staying in HDB will also be a different kind of beauty.

After my washing, I hang out the laundry and then I watch them dance in the breeze for a while. I watch the sky to make sure the rain clouds don't look too heavy yet, and then I come back here to continue with my entry. The birds are chirping louder now, it seems like more of them had gathered on the tree across from my house.

Am thinking of what I should do today to occupy the rest of my day. Originally I had planned to meet my 2 other piglets for dindin, but today is Poppadum's bday and we're going out for dinner, so I cancelled my appointment with piglets. Perhaps I should go out and buy a cake. But Poppadum don't eat much cake. Hmm. Perhaps I should spend time cleaning up my living room. Hmm.

O well, we'll see what I had done today when my day has ended.

To be continued...

Hoot Hoot

It's Friday!

=D

Toilet Q

My family, we are an odd group. Everyone tends to want to go to the toilet at the same time. Always the same time at 11pm. Weekends will be slightly later, 12mn.

Like when the clock strikes 11 (wkends will be 12mn), everyone starts to either have to poopoo or shower, or both. I mean, need to so zhun or not all need to go toilet at the same time? I dunno la, each of us, we always comprain when we have to wait for another to use the toilet but each of us dunno how to go and take the opportunity to shower first before the usual 11pm/12am.

So how the system works is, whoever has the worst temper gets to use the toilet first. This is not a standard coz' we take our turns to have our moody days. Thus this system of allocation can be quite fair most of the time.

I know I know, its my fault also that I am stuck in the queue. But at least, the person occupying the toilet, cepat can or not.. At least when I'm using the toilet I stick to my standard 20min. I can't be faster tho', coz each time I use the toilet I got my S.O.P. cycle to complete.

At this moment that I am brogging, I have already waited 50min in the queue for the toilet. Today Momotown is sure enjoying her nice shower. I am sticky and smelly and nodding off in front of the computar. Also, there is a big phat mozzie harassing me. I already got attacked once, please let it be only once. I hate mozzies and would go to desperate measures to eradicate them. But that is another story for another day.

ArghHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh........... this sux........

Update on: I can blog from office!

Finally I have managed to photograph my desk to prove that my desk is damn chio.

Not chio meh?

p.s. Aiyo feel so sad now, I'm supposed to be on a diet but I go and eat a full Ayam-Penyet set for lunch! Sighhh.. How much calories is that, mon. Pui.

The dangers of smoking

Today I went out for lunch with Mr X (not his real name), and Ms Y (not her real name) to have a meal (a real meal, lunch, actually) at Wholegrain Mall (not its real name). After the meal (yes, the real meal I was talking about), I mentioned to Mr X (remember this is not his real name) that I needed to go and buy something and Ms Y (remember this is also not her real name) was going together with me to the shop.

Mr X (yes correct, not real name) mentioned he will take a smoke-break and meet up with us when we were done. So Ms Y (ya not real name) and I went and did what we need to do, then we went to meet Mr X (not his real name).

When we met with Mr X (the same not real name one), we smelt a burnt paper smell and were speculating where the smell came from, and what could have been burning. Mr X (the not real the name) had quickly concluded that we should get our butts out of Wholegrain Mall asap so that we don't get cooked if there was some real cooking to be done.

With hastened steps, we swif

tly made our way to the car, and Mr X (...) deftly directed the car to the carpark exit. When we were out from the Wholegrain Mall carpark, I switched the car's ventilation mode to 'fresh' to allow fresh air to come in. Despite my efforts, the burning smell got stronger and stronger.

And that was when I noticed a steady stream of smoke emitting from Mr X's sling pouch.

"Gahhh! The smoke is from here!" I informed my company. Then next moment we were all in panic to douse the smoking sling pouch. Turns out that the smoke is being emitted from a packet of ignited tissue paper caused by a broken part of Mr X's cigarette falling into his sling pouch. The fire was fortunately manageable and no one was hurt in the accident. Everyone went home in one piece.

Poser's Penchants: Earrings' Rendezvous

People who know me will definitely know about my penchant for bling bling earrings.

Well, people who don't know me may also be able to guess that I have a penchant for bling bling earrings. Because my earrings can be very bling, and boomz. People tell me they can see my earrings from halfway across the hallway..

I used to pick up my beloved little blings from this pushcart at RiffRaff place, then I bought so many until they closed down. After my favourite bling pushcart had zap-lap (closed-down), I was a distraught soul. Didn't know where to replenish my well-worn supplies. Every day I would seek out pushcart after pushcart of bling earrings, hoping that one day I would find one selling bling earrings made of silver, or at least made with silver backing (coz I am rather allergic to all those allergenic materials). I had almost given up hope...

And then I found a sweet little pushcart at-the-uh-downstairs of my new office location!

And I snapped up 4 pairs instantly!

Aiya.. 1 pair for $9.90 and 2 pairs for $15.00. What would you do if you were me, man.

♥

I can blog from office!

This is liberating!

I originally thought all external websites weren't accessible from this new office but then I was wrong!

No doubt they had blocked facebook from here, but then who needs facebook when I have blogger?!?!

I mean, ya la I still need facebook, but I think its serious time, to seriously build up my blog!

So my fans, about uhh.. 40..45.. 40-45.. 40454045404045 of them can be updated with my daily encounters.

Ok, to update y'all, Pollie had started work with Society of Beaming Rhino's since Monday (i.e. 2 days ago). Today's my third day here and is my first day of being late! I'd arrived 20 min late today. Blame it on the darn traffic diversion caused by the world @PECK summit. I'd asked my Poppadum to give me a ride to work today coz' was so lazy to take the public transport - and then I regretted.

So far the Society had been pampering me. My co-workers all seem damn nice, the boss seem damn nice, and the pantry damn nice (in comparison with Elephant Yoodles Inc.) and got TWO (notONEbutTWO) pantries some more. And also I finally have a DESK. I heart my desk super chio and its wide enough to put a phone, two sleek computer monitors (notONEbutTWO), a keyboard, an in/out tray, a boxed-style file holder, my name plate (I HAVE A NAME PLATE!!), and have adequate space, still, for docs and files to be laid out in front of me for working. And, i have my personal trash can. And, i have my own foot locker that i plan to stash lots of candy with.

Damn shuang.

Travel logeru

Dear fans,

I had wanted to post entries abt my Japan trip but so damn lazy.

However to satisfy ur heart's desires to read abt my trip, please visit http://pushypanda.blogspot.com .

Land of the Rising Sun <3 <3 <3

Dear readers,

I am damn excited now, and also damn worried.

Because my dears, I will be off to Japon on 1/11/2009 at 1am, and I have just booked the air-tickets and hotel accommodation today! That leaves me abt 30h counting from tmr after office hours @ abt 6pm to change money, pack luggage, buy travel insurance, and to discuss on the itinerary with my ah-lao.

Within the 30h, I also have a halloween party to attend, a mani+pedi session to go to, and a Elephant Yoodels Inc. farewell party to farewell! Also I have to schedule in a doctor's visit tmr during office hours to get my medication for skin allergy and a cartload of anti-hystermines.

Then, then, to make it even more exciting, I am damn broke now because this month the Elephant Yoodels Inc. had irritatingly decided to withhold my last paycheck, and also due to the Finance having such a slow claims processing cycle-time, I had missed my claims reimbursement for 2 cycles already.

Wa so stressed man.
