all i want for new year is...

LV Koala Wallet in Damier canvas (Azur) - it's been a long time since i last changed a wallet. guess it was about 4 years ago. really love the koala wallet in damier canvas. very unique. it's a new design. nice nice. gonna get it after chinese new year. *praying hard*

Fujitsu LifeBook S6311 - i should be contented with my IBM ThinkPad. juz can't help but wish to get a Fujitsu. it's juz so sleek and beautiful. plus it has got bluetooth capability which my IBM doesn't and an additional USB port. most importantly, it's much lighter. only about 1.7kg. can't wait to lay my hands on it.


Nintendo DS Lite Coral Pink - been thinking about it since the KL trip. juz wondering when can i afford the time to play. my mum and dad gonna be the ones fighting over it i suppose. *laughs* i don't need it but i guess the colour attracted me, plus the fact that darling will be kept entertained when i'm playing mahjong. should i or should i not?


Papillio Madrid Silk Flowers Pink - bought the madrid folklore rose instead coz the silk flowers pink is twice the price. 130 bucks for a pair of sandals. that's pretty crazy. i'm still thinking about it though. it's really pretty. wanna have a pair of my own. i'm a greedy little girl. anyone wanna place an order? *evil grins*

it's a wednesday night. i'm supposed to be at zouk. supposed to. 6 months ago, you'll never fail to find me at the same place. sometimes i juz wonder if it's all worthwhile. to be honest, i love to club. i really do. juz don't understand why people don't understand my idea of clubbing :: to enjoy the music, dance, have a couple of my favourite drinks and catch up with friends. it's juz that simple. nothing more than that. miss mambo. *sigh* david asked me that day :: what is considered being selfish in a relationship? i believe that all humans are selfish in one way or another, it's juz the degree of selfishness that varies. i admit i'm selfish but there're times when i'll give in. it's true. at times like this, i juz wonder if i'm being taken for granted. i know it's unfair that i'm not speaking up but somehow i need time to think. whenever this happens, i'll juz sink into deep thoughts but after a long night of rest, i'll juz decide to keep the matter aside. that's not very helpful i guess. maybe it's juz me. it's been almost 2 months since i last clubbed. for someone who clubs at least once every week, i suppose 2 months is a record. i know i'm repeating myself but i miss mambo. whispering our goodbyes waiting for the train i was dancing with my baby in summer rain...

feeling grouchy. many many reasons to that. 1stly, darling went to play di with carey, issac and steven. leaving poor baby all alone at home. it's the 3rd consecutive night he's out with the guys. poor poor baby. 2ndly, it's a wednesday night and i'm cooped up at home! i wanna go clubbing! last night i was dreaming i was locked in a prison cell.. 3rdly, work. counting the months, i'm with the company for almost a year (excluding part-time days which were more fun). many many changes, especially in terms of colleagues. good and bad. so many new faces in the company. don't even recognise. still remember my days as a newbie. learned everything through practice. really thankful of people whom i worked with for being so patient. it's not easy. today, i got to know a piece of news which upset me quite a bit. someone's leaving the company for a better offer. really happy for her but at the same time can't help but feel sad. she was the 1st person i got to know in the company. helped me a lot and been through bad times with me. one of the reasons why i managed to convert to full-time. so gonna miss her when she's gone. one less reason for me to stay with the company. work is becoming so routined. answering the same questions every day. why can't everyone be more kind to sales personnel or CSO? we are humans too. we have bad days too. can't expect us to know everything right? juz coz i belong to one company doesn't mean i hafta do everything for you. it's not an obligation, it's a service. have you ever tried to get someone at best denki or harvey norman to repair your faulty plasma tv? if the answer is no, stop asking me to help you service your phone. most hated: you mean you dunno your product? only know how to sell, dunno how to repair. what kind of service? customer service sir/madam. what kind of logic is that? if i sell phone means i must know how to repair? if that's the case, go to your car dealer and ask them fix your car for you. next most hated: same company ma. why can't i leave the phone with you? send it for service for me la. i'm very busy, can't always come down and waste my time le. you're not the only one who's busy lo. if every customer comes to me and ask me send their phone in for service, i no need work liao lo. i'm going mad from all these. really sick of it. i'm in need of a break seriously.

Christmas 2006
spent a homely christmas eve at home with darling. sweety darling bought a delicious log cake from polar. wanted to get from swensens but as expected, log cakes were sold out. lovely christmas tree, yummy log cake, sweety darling and pressies! count down with me to christmas. mum commented that i deliberately put up the tree at home to get more pressies. *laughs* that wasn't my motive but well.. it's a blessing in disguise. been wanting to own a christmas tree that i can call my own. and finally! i get to have one after 24 years. *happiness* thanks to darling for helping to transport the tree back from orchard. even all the decorations on the tree were hand-picked by me. wouldn't bear to tear it down when the season's over. played mahjong at steven's place with brendan, issac and of coz, the host himself on christmas night. it was a night full of fun and laughter. funny guys. enjoyed myself even though i lost in the end. poor darling dozed off while waiting for us to finish. you're juz so sweet.

Happy 2007
decided that it was too crowded to go anywhere for countdown and hence came home to take a good rest only to find that my parents had gone to the community club to countdown with the rest of the neighbourhood. so happening. *grins* went marina south for BBQ and steamboat with my colleagues after work on new year day. apart from past and present parkway staff (Nelson, Agnes, Thomas, Marcus and Alvin), others who were present were the roadshow team (Berlyn, Jeffery and Shawn), from suntec (Desmond) and Eddy (sorry, have no idea which outlet you from). it was another night full of jokes and crap. you can't imagine how nonsensical these people can get. someone tried to hide my sirocco during the night but backfired as i had my name engraved on the back cover. *bleah* the bowling centre was our next stop after supper. agnes, alvin and thomas vs jeffery, nelson and eddy. shawn had a few guest appearances. trust me, there's more fun than you think there could be hanging out with them. left at around 1 plus to join darling, brendan and issac for number ball. if you're wondering, i was watching them not playing. can't play table balls for nuts. had a great night out with the guys. hopefully the rest of this year would be as fun and enjoyable as the 1st day.
