He started talking about this and that, then he said, "HR told me she ALWAYS see you go for lunch alone." And then he threw around terms like teamwork and motivation. I am peeved because1) I've bumped into HR only once during lunch. Maybe she's secretly watching me and I don't know it. Well, I'm secretly hating her guts.

Thanks everyone for ur nice comments and for making me feel a lot better!! Still not too happy though becos they gave me a 2 months visa and it takes 3 months to apply for a PR.

Really glad I went India in the end instead of Newport Beach! Was mainly in Dehli and visited Agra (Taj Mahal) and Jaipur over the weekends.
I decided not to put up any photos of Taj Mahal or other touristy buildings because you can easily find those on the Net. So here are some of my more "personal" photos.

Two out of five stars.
The much-anticipated Friends spin-off. I've watched 2 episodes so far and I highly doubt that this will be another Frasier unless some pretty drastic changes are made.

4 and a half stars out of 5 for The Kitchen God's Wife. A story based on Amy's mom who escaped from an abusive husband in China. Funny, realistic, poignant.
4 stars out of 5 for A Hundred Secret Senses. It scared me a little. That's a good thing though.

I heard 3 different stories (all true!) that made me feel BAD for complaining so much.
First story:
A Lebanese pastor, Sami arrived in London during the 1960's. His cab driver looked very unhappy and kept fidgeting in his seat, so Sami decided to ask him what was wrong.

Meaning no "turquoise" or "aquamarine" or "emerald" or anything like that.
Just have to decide if it's more blue or more green.

Had a slumber party on Friday night. Talked, talked, dinner, talked, Sainsbury's, tried making animal shaped cookies but failed, ate warm cookies with vanilla ice-cream (yum!), talked, slept. Woke up near noon the next day and had a lovely brunch at a nearby cafe - French toast, eggs, bacon, crossaint, juice (double yum!). Lazed around till 4pm before going home.

More often than not, they will choose a boy. But I'll choose a girl. Why? Maybe it's so that I can pretend to buy Pooh toys for them when I'm actually buying for myself. Or maybe because girls can be really sweet if they want to be.

Being city bumpkins, they never saw much greenery or farmland, so they did what any city bumpkins would do - pose for photos with the berries and veg. Here are the results -

Went for my junior coursemate's farewell dinner at this place in Mayfair called @venue (pic below) on Sat night. When my friend told me it was a British restaurant, my heart sank. I'm not very fond of British cuisine, especially in posh restaurants. High prices for standard, boring food (in my opinion anyway).

Team building day left me with muscle aches all over. I had to walk a plank, build a structure and climb through a chicken coop.

I don't really want to miss my first lesson either.
Tomorrow is Team Building day. It's in the middle of nowhere, which means waking up freakishly early to take the train.

I bought myself a new pair of jeans. Quite happy as it's so hard to find a pair that fits properly, feels comfy and doesn't cost the earth.

Two friends have been staying with us for the past few days because their house is undergoing renovation. We just found out over the weekend that the girl is pregnant! Have been speculating for some weeks now but didn't dare to ask in case she just put on weight or something. Anyway, can't wait to go shopping for all the cute baby stuff. The baby's due on 1 Jan.

Spoiler alert! Pls do not read if you haven't watched Harry Potter 3.
I watched Harry Potter last night and it was surprisingly good. The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite book of the lot and I didn't expect the movie to live up to my expectations.

I go to work. I look at the spreadsheets and the documents but my mind's somewhere else. I go to meetings, words come out of my mouth but I'm just going through the motions.
I meet up with friends, they talk, I nod and I try to look interested. If it's a joke, I laugh but it's just noise from my mouth.

My middle boss quit in Feb, and now big boss in May. I bet they know something that we don't. Oh well. I'm going in a few months anyway.

For the past 2 weekends, we've been driving to farms and picking asparagus (which is the only thing available in May). Strawberries, raspberries, brocolli, and plenty of other fruits and veg are available from June to Sept. My plan is to get my weekly supply there in the weeks to come. Healthy eating man.

I was at a Britney Spears concert last night. Hehehe. I know...most of my friends were like, "What are you - twelve?"
Her act last night seemed more suited for eighteen and above. In fact, half of my friends (I went with 5 others) thought it was too risqué for their liking. One even averted her eyes. More on this later.

When the weather picks up, so does my mood.
Time seems to fly by quicker during the hotter months. Maybe because there are loads to do...BBQ, frappucinos, driving around, short trips, parks, ice-cream. Yes, yes, yes!
Haven't been doing much these days. I should start seeing some of my friends again. Forgotten how they look like. Only 5-6 months left before saying goodbye.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed School of Rock. The story may be predictable - A wannabe rock-star (Jack Black) poses as a teacher and transforms his class into a rock band. But the writing is very clever. And Jack Black was fantastic with the children. His speech to the parents about each of the children's talents really struck an electric-guitar chord with me.

There are usually a bunch of Jesus documentaries shown during Good Friday but I never watch any, as I don’t like watching the crucifixion or the torture. That’s why I haven’t seen the Passion of the Christ. Because the thought of seeing my friend, my father getting whipped just makes me sweat with fear.

Monday 29 March
Started our journey at 2pm, after packing the car to the brim with food, a guitar, a wok and a rice-cooker!!
Super thrilled that our chalet was so close to the main site and fully equipped with heaters in every room. We all agreed our old bones wouldn't be able to take freezing caravans this year.

I'm going for a week-long retreat in Skegness. Attend talks, learn more about God, recharge my batteries. Hopefully get to do some barn dancing too! Really looking forward to it. It's nice to get away from the rush once in a while. And head towards green grass, dancing sheep and proper fish and chips.
Before I go, I'd like to do something fun...make a list. ;)

I was in the choir on Sat night and it's always great fun when the audience starts clapping and singing along.
I love the last few minutes before we go on stage when there's a vibe of anticipation in the air - everyone's either rushing to the loo, putting on makeup, tuning instruments or warming up voices.

He was telling us about some of his patients. And it brought back memories of my dad's condition.
When I tell people that my dad has psychiatric problems, they're either surprised ("but he looks so normal!") or they're cynical ("like in Hollywood?"). I guess it's a rather taboo topic too.

Recently, I had to say good-bye to my middle boss who was returning to his home country for good. When I extended my hand in a farewell gesture, he shook it and then offered up his cheek. And I thought, "Oh shit!" I positively HATE social kissing.
I can never do it with enough grace or nonchalance. Also I had a few bad experiences associated with it.
1) My first time

Yea, I still hate it. Even more now.
Yesterday, I was happily checking out jobs on another company's website when my colleague snuck up behind me (AGAIN) and shouted, "You're looking for jobs? Noooo!"
My boss was on the phone and his eyes flickered in our direction but he didn't say anything.
I tried to signal to my colleague to Hayleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03304119769839884085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015286.post-1077645738684896782004-02-25T02:02:00.000+08:002004-02-25T02:05:06.873+08:00When Hayley met Aly
What a night! I'm still reeling from the excitement.
7.00pm: My husband and I arrived at the Royal Haymarket theatre to pick up the press tickets. I was really pleased the press office gave me 2 tickets. And a free programme as well. We snooped around, trying to see if Alexis Denisof (Aly Hannigan's husband + star on Angel) or anyone famous may be loitering about.

I am so happy, I think I'm going to cartwheel around the room. wheee...hehehe.
I got press passes to see Alyson Hannigan (BTVS, American Pie) in her new play! She's starring alongside Luke Perry (Beverly Hills 90210) in When Harry Met Sally, the stage version of the 80's hit movie.
After weeks of hassling the press office, they finally said they'll send me the passes.

Unfortunately, not to collect any awards for myself. :(
Our company is nominated for one of the categories, so some of us get to attend. Well, mainly because our bosses can't be bothered to go.
The best thing, aside from the free food, is the free dress I'll be getting. Or at least, I hope my manager will sign for it when he sees the receipt!

This yoyo-ing of emotions just plain sucks.
I hate work.
Nothing seems to be working out.

And tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I cringe recalling the number of cards, gifts and what-nots I bought to celebrate this whole money-making scam. And feeling like such a loser if I didn't have a Valentine. So I vowed to be different and will celebrate instead, the remembrance of Saint Hayleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03304119769839884085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015286.post-1076431874663117192004-02-11T00:51:00.000+08:002004-02-11T00:53:42.810+08:00I've recently discovered a good way to make some quick dosh.

Just finished reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris. Watched the movie around 3 years ago. It's an enjoyable read.

1) When I leave the office early, please do not frown and look at your watch. You shouldn't judge me based on the number of hours I am present in the office. Judge me instead, based on the actual work I do.
2) Do not lift your shirt and spray your deodorant in front of me. Please do so in the bathroom. I do not need to see your hairy or non-hairy arm-pits. Really.

I don't feel so bad today. Found out that my colleagues were stuck in Glasgow cos of all the snow. All flights were cancelled. They had to stay overnight at a hotel and get up at 5am to catch the first flight
back.
So, I guess it's a good thing I missed that plane after all. *evil grin*

I can't believe I missed my plane.
I've never missed a flight in my life. Ran to catch one, yes many times. Name announced at airport, yes few times. But missed, no never.
It's a company trip as well. Which is not so bad since I didn't pay for the ticket. But still. I feel like shit.

I was at Borders, totally engrossed in the latest SFX magazine when this guy asked "You a big fan?". He was referring to the Smallville article I was reading.

OK, so I never feel like working, but especially so today. It's CNY. My whole family's in Penang eating yummy char kuay teow while I'm stuck here in the office.
I just want a holiday. A public holiday, without using my own precious leave.
Me: It's Chinese New Year tomorrow. Can I have half day off instead of attending the (stupid) company presentation?

It feels as if we've adopted my friend + gf's life. Their new floors, comfy sofa, huge cupboards...all so lovely. Even the sky seems bluer, the air fresher and the grass greener.
There's no DSL yet but I've got Sky (Satellite TV) in the meantime. I've never had Sky before. (So how do I watch the latest shows?

It's strange how I'm going to end up in that flat after all.
I really liked the development when I viewed it 4 yrs ago. Unfortunately, couldn't afford the rent. Then I found out a colleague stayed there. Boy, was I jealous!
Later, my friend bought a flat there. And I was real jealous again! But 4 yrs later, I'm moving into his place.

Cold to the bone, lips chapped and there's a stinging sensation in my eyes. I brought my cousin and her husband around central London - dimsum, Covent Garden, Leicester Sq, Trafalgar Sq, National Art Gallery, Harrods, then Finchley Road for dinner. But they couldn't really muster any enthusiasm for the sights.
Me: Here's Covent Garden

Was itching for some Chinese show over the weekend and felt like a romance comedy. So I watched Good times, Bed times. It was neither romantic, nor funny. Real disappointing in fact. Cute cast, pretty colours but crap script. Same creators as La Brassiere but I liked that much better.

Thank you for all the New Year wishes! I hope everyone had a good time celebrating. I was at a friend's place, eating home-cooked Thai food and playing computer games. And I actually had a good time!

I remember...during Chinese New Year, all the children would crowd around the TV to watch her perform and my grandma would scowl disapprovingly. Hehe.
No resolutions this year. Just reflections on creation. For this list reminds me of my Maker's hands.

It's snowing outside. But it's half snow, half rain so the ground is covered in grey slush. Nice, real nice.
Four whole days of sleeping till noon, eating lots of chocolate, chips and ice-cream, wearing pajamas the whole day, watching TV, playing lots of scrabble (kinda dorky eh?) and writing. Good, too good.

I’m real glad I’ll be spending Christmas Eve with close friends. People I’ve known for nearly 10 years now. We’ve slept in the same room, watched the sunset, broken school rules, hugged, fought, suffered heartbreaks, explored forbidden places and got stuck in the middle of nowhere but jungle together.

Oxford Street is packed with last-minute shoppers. I wonder how many remember the true meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ - when God came down from Heaven and became human?
Most of my colleagues just think of Christmas as a time to party, get drunk, have a good holiday, moan about buying presents, some just hate Christmas etc. *deep sigh*
