i'm not so much of a fan of make-up. mainly put esp if i wore contact cos wanna conceal my panda eyes & i mainly wore contact when i go out & not for usual. so if u wanna c me in more make-up, tt'll b esp on occassion like dinner. thus, most often, if u bump into me, i'll b in d most comfy clothes i like to b in, i'll b wearin specs & w no make-up.
so, in a way, d line i'm in is so close to wat allows me to wear comfortably rather than b in d tight & hurtin court shoes, in d hot long sleeves, hiddin behind d thick coats of make-ups.
well, wat makes me wanna write is actually, i realize a flaw in my dressing. if ever, i search another job & got an interview last min like when i got mine for d admission to NTU as an undergrad, imagining me in short denim shirt, tee & slippers. 'ho-say-liao'.... wahahaa... & even if i noe b4hand, & i dress up at work b4 or aft an interview. my dressin would also become so much louder, tellin ppl, 'hey, i got an interview' or so...
hmm... wat makes me ponder so much is oso cos my new place is so much further to whr i'm workin nw, cant possibly work forever here. so eventually gotta get out. thus, my friend oso tell me tt i should slowly change my style of dressin so at least if thr is a chance for interview, i oso no need to take full day leave jus for tt. for her field, ok la, they can dress readily but still will find it weird to wear so nicely to a lab plus i'm so lazy to hand-wash & iron. tt's oso wat made me wanting to wear so comfortably.
well, make-up for me not an issue for interview ba. i jus need like 15 min or less to powder up, no professionally but at least look decent & i oso nvr bother to ve d full set of make-up since i don like & seldom put.
but today, d undergrad attached in d lab, a yr 3, & jus went for d sch pageant contest asked me y i nvr join b4. said tt i should join cos i m pretty when i put on make-up. well, guess he saw d PG photos ba. so it made me wonder if it's one tt's pretty or d power of make-up. to me, if by power of make-up, den not a natural beauty la. & i feel most impt is tt ppl ard like friends & loved ones must b able to accept one as they r & not cos aft puttin make-up. 只看外表不看内涵 is no use one. 内涵才是最重要的... yet, wat's contradicting is tt, i'll still make-up to try look gd for interview & even for dinner, etc.

A new beginning
21 feb 2012 (21022012) is really a special date. It marks a new beginning for dear & me & I choose dis date cos it's his bday cos he got bday leave so easier to dine tgt in future.
Eventually, realize d date numbers (21022012) are mirrored fr middle. Felt so cool. But wat's more surprising is tt d numbers looks d same fr top down ESP if u keyed in norm calculator n turn it over. Guess all these make d date even more special, meaningful & memorable & it's once in a lifetime.
Anw, I guess even if other dates in future can b an ambigram, it won't b mirrored in middle too.
Though it's a special date, we still make it simple & jus a family affairs. Jus his parents & mine & my grandma & godma. Cos we'll ve a dinner eventually. Thus, see no point to make it big.
& we held it at NTU. Ermmm... U may think y I'm so loyal to NTU. Well, we jus tot at registry den makan but registry thr no makan. Need teleport. Den during last yr convo, found out NTU got a solemniser & a free room to use. Plus thr is a restaurant jus beside. Some more, all of us stay in west area so it's much easier to hold in NTU.
Well, wat matter most is tt we are happy. We don wanna spent unnecessary oso.
Having it big like at hotel or restaurant means more spending & shouldn't tt it for granted tt u'll b able to cover back wat u output cos for rom, the best gift is gonna b present like photo frames. & guests will attend ur ceremony twice. 1 for rom & another for customary.
We oso not wanting on AD partly cos we attended b4 & need wait much longer for dinner to start w nothing to do. So we oso don wan our guests to b bored & feel same. D other reason is tt we got d AHG fr HDB n we need submit our cert since we collected keys. So tt's y we choose feb, choose dear's bday tt eventually found it's do special. Really hope it's gonna b a fresh new start... :)

spending...
being my friends, i believed u should noe i not really into shopping but i guess d output now is so much higher... reno ID, A/C, livin rm TV, PG... all can easily hit 5 digit... OMG!!!
while earnin $$ is not easy (w all hard work), savin $$ is oso quite hard & yet spendin $$ is super easy.
even min reno itself can easily hit beyond 10k, & imagine d electrical appliances & furniture, etc. 1 thing can b small & seem so affordable but when all adds up, BOOM... all u'll c r figures....
('.') -> (-.-) -> ($.$) -> (@.@)
so save while u can...

Bad Days
I had been haunted with my headache but that isn't something new but recently once a while, I would have block nose or sometimes cough out of the blue and I do feel my throat getting weird so on Wednesday night, went to see doc and to my surprise, I had slight fever & so Doc give me 2 days MC. However, I do think of going back to lab today but in the end, I had things to settle.
Anyway, my MC isn't for me to rest. It's for me to settle things in the end. Went Queensway to collect a printout, then went to my new place to spot check and found something that disgust and pissed me off. For the wall stains, they only did for 1 obvious wall and not the other that is hidden behind the door and what they did for the chip on the toilet bowl is just to paint over it with white paint and the paint had been smeared much beyond the chip too. How can they rectify a chip just like that. It's not a small tiny chip I am talking about but it's almost a 2 cm length chip. Of course I took pic fr my camera and HP. (I had grown a habit to bring camera & even measuring tape around in case I happened to go over to my new place).
Well, I could go down and bang their table but I never. Of course if I go down, I can scold them in fit of anger but with that, I had got no black and white. To me, I always feel black and white is very important unless I can have some voice recording. Thus, I decided to go home then called them and forward them the photos.
To my horror, my MIO gave me problem again. It would not connect to the internet when I recently called to rectify the same problem. Can you imagine how frustrated I am especially when I need to forward the email to them. So I connect using my HP data.
And guess what, the email to them kept bouncing back, giving me an error message. So I called them to demand for another email address which they don't have and assure me that it's ok if there isn't any pic. Of course they OK la but not for me. As in my email, I describe everything and even stated that I noted down all the date and time we went over and what we found out and even threaten them to settle the toilet bowl well enough, otherwise i'll keep all email and photos as evidence to sue them if there is an accident with the toilet bowl. I even bring out the point that if I am not satisfied, I would report to the MP. So, since I would use this incident to warn them, how can I just let it go. This isn't the 1st time I wrote to them or complain. Previously we found the wall stains only more than a week aft we collected the keys, so obviously they did something which they had not been told to do. Therefore, how can I be nice to them?
So, I went to search for the HDB branch office email to make my complain. Currently, we are suppose to report to the building service centre (BSC) under the construction company but since I can't get them, I had no choice but to go directly to the branch office. However, my email was still bounce back. I was really quite tempted to write straight to the MP but I walked off to calm down. And when I get back and email, I managed to send out.
But early this morning, I then realized I had replied to all and so pictures are not attached anymore as the HDB officer called me today. He apologized to me for their work and asked for the photos so he could get back to them so I emailed him but I still got the same problem. It's only after a few tries and rectification that I managed to send it to him and his reply is that he would monitor it. Anyway, I think the problem is the total file size of the photos. Total 4 pics of ~5.5MB but still cant get thru. when I resized to total ~3MB, it's ok. But I never tell the officer that it's ok since he agreed to monitor it. Hopefully it's going to be much better with this HDB officer chasing after them also.
Why I cant get back to work today is because, I have to deal with another set of issue. MIO!!! last night I called and troubleshooted with the guidance through telephone. It seemed ok yesterday but the lady suggested to fix a technician over to check but if it's really ok, I shall then cancel the appointment. Fair enough and this will speed up the process also and the appointment is today. In the end, this morning when I use the internet and just when I wanted to email the photos, internet connection terminate again. Thus, I had to continue to let the technician over to check. Thus, I had to stay home in the end to settle MIO.
But it's just so concidental that yesterday when I wanted to email and complain, internet connection is down and same for today. It's as though MIO & BSC & the HDB collaborate to prevent complains like that but I know it's just pure concidents. Well, it's really frustrating when you just couldn't settle anything when internet connection is down. Glad I had got my phone data plan to tahan for time being & I really hope everything will be settled soon.

CHINGAY 2012
though nvr watched d chingay at actual ground but on tv, at least caught it & not on repeat telecast. & though not full chingay but d finale. at least managed to catch d performance put up by my fellow soka comrades.
watchin d performance & finale song & fireworks, memories flashed back. all d hard work, all d problems tt comes along, all d challenges, etc. it's really not an easy task. sometimes, it's can get so tough till u may even want to give up. but i nvr cos thr r many gd friends ard, supportin u.
well, i nvr join d chingay performance b4, neither have i join d NDP b4. but i had performed for soka internal events, & even d RC event, & oso even d mid-autumn fest lights up. big scale at sports hall, expo, chinatown, ghim moh, or even smaller scale but still thr r at least 100 ppl???
frankly speakin, i do miss d feelin esp aft managin to successfully performed finally for d actual show. it's always mixed emotions but definitely feelin v happy & satisfied esp gg thru all d ordeals. no words can ever described d feelin & emotions.
in fact, at sort of d beginning, aft performin at chinatown, though i lost my belongin, i wasn't sad tt i lost my stuffs, but i'm not scared tt my parents would nvr allow me to join my friends for performance, etc & i cried. can u see hw silly i'm. i'm scare to call my parents. to tell them d truth. so it's really a tough process tt will give u a memorable & satisfying memories.
i nvr regret joinin all performances & also nvr regret joining Soka Sunflower Dance Ensemble. it creates colours to my dull childhood.
