I'm never a chocolate fan. I love my desserts and cakes but I don't go all out to buy them and might only have a slice every fortnight or so. However, I have to been thinking of them all day today!!! It might be cos I'm so bored at work..i have absolutely nothing to do..close to taking the spray and wipe my desk!!! I even made sure i stared at the same piece of paper to look as though i'm reading it when in fact, i'm just spacing out and dozing off!!!!
I hope they give me more work to do..i don't wanna eat any of those stuff..i'm trying to cut down on my food intake so that i can feast in singapore so i need to eat less now..ekk..

8 more days to go..
And i'll be in SINGAPORE!!! I'm really excited about this trip! My friend recommended his hairstylist to us so my fiance will be getting his haircut and i'll be getting a haircut and rebonding my hair. His hairstylist was one of the young stylist of the year so i can't wait to see how the hair salon is. Wonder if I can get my manicure and pedicure at the same place since rebonding takes 3-4 hours! I don't normally pamper myself like that so i'm really excited!
I've organised what to do for the first couple of days and where to go and it just seems little too short but it'll be fun.
Cant wait!!

why....can i just kill them all?
Yes..i have problems with my fiance's younger sister this time. My sister is renting a room from her and she's being a pain in the ass. We would want to move out but because my sister only has till nov before she finishes her honours, we're trying not to move until she gets more information and decides if she's going to do her PhD. It's a rationale vs emotional decision.
She decides to increase the rent, wants 4 weeks bond money etc etc and its absolutely ridiculous. Not too sure how they are brought up or what kind of family frens or people she hangs out with but I just feel that she is being absolutely pathetic. She wants $1K in bond money because she's worried that my sister won't pay her rent? And now that when we managed to negotiate and reduce it to $500, she says that rent will have to be paid on time and if it isn't, she will have to increase the bond money. Seriously, is this how poor people work? That they like to cover their own ass with all these terms and conditions because they need some form of insurance?
Told my mum today..there's 5 types of portfolio for my investment fund..high growth, growth, balanced,moderate and defensive. However, if my fiance's family has money to invest (if they have any! poor people!), they will have to create a new profile..called..CHICKENS! Because they are scared and worried about every god damn thing in this world so they can invest in the CHICKEN portfolio. 100% in money market and earn 5% interest..dickheads...
I need to learn the art of forgiveness...i can..and i will..but his family...in a class of their own where forgive and forget just can't seem to exist.

absolutely ridiculous!
I've just finished watching a programme on MTV channel - Celebrities wedding. I'm just amazed at the way Americans or well, the way rich people spend their money. I can understand that everyone would love to pamper themselves but..this is absolutely ridiculous.
(1) This guy from Blink 182 gave out yoyos as gifts for his wedding. Not just your 50cents yoyo..its a $100-150 yoyo from tiffany! hmm..
(2) A celebrity paid $4K for a 7 tier wedding cake. Its expensive because there's swarowksi crystals as decoration. Is there a need for crystals on the cake? Don't people just eat the cake anyway?
(3) Donald Trump had a fruit basket on his gift registy. Not just any fruit basket..this one cost $8500
(4) Another celebrity had a ice-cream scoop on her list as well..a $200 ice-cream scoop from tiffanys. Might want to tell haagan daaz that their ice-cream just don't taste the same unless they use that $200 ice-cream scoop from tiffanys. haha..seriously???
There's so many people in this world thats starving, living in poverty etc etc. Money can definitely be spent in a lot better ways than that. Maybe cos I don't live in that world, i wouldn't understand that having a $200 tiffany ice-cream scoop is a necessity. All i hope is that these people, are people who can afford to donate to better causes in life and they will share their wealth with the millions of unfortunate out there.

out of action...down and out..
I caught the flu bug from work. I don't mind getting sick but the worst part is, starting a new job when you're that sick! I was fine..until Sunday when I just collapsed. I came down with a sore throat, nasty cough and high fever. All within 18hours before I start my new job. I was scared. I found every medicine that is edible at home and ate them. I took vitamins, supplements, panadol, anything and everything! I finally made it to work! I am amazed at how much determination can help someone. Went to work for 2 days and survived by coughing, going to the bathroom every hour, drank lots of water. Unfortunately, my fever came back on Tuesday night and I was still feverish on Wednesday morning and well, had to call in sick.
The best part of it all..was how nice people were at my new work place. They actually asked me if i want to go home or if i don't feel well, just go home early. There's nothing urgent anyway! My boss's son is having a flu as well and was sick and bedridden for 3 days so he's amazed that I'll cope with just a day away. Somedays i thank my lucky star. I have been very fortunate so far to work with nice people.

Someone knock some sense into my cousin!!!!
This cousin of mine..needs Dr Phil. She needs someone to knock some sense into her!
She's a very smart girl who excelled in school. She's only 2 years older than me and has always topped her class, went to uni, did really well and was recruited into a top MNC into their graduate program. Not too sure if I should blame or or her husband but things went down from there. Had a fantastic career and they wanted to send her to denmark but she resigned. She decided to get married and stay at home and have kids. She has been pregnant for the bulk of the last few years. Married at 24, pregnant within 3 months after her wedding and she's pregnant again a few months after having her 1st baby. She didn't give her body enough time to recover and had major complications and the baby died and she was in ICU etc etc. Ever since then, she has been staying at home looking after the kids. She's 29 with only 1 year working experience. We were very close when we're young but ever since we started growing up, she's into church and I reckon to her, I belong to Club 666 with all my drinking and other nonsense!
Now, she has decided to join the workforce again and I believe she must be finding it hard to get a job. Hence, she has been successful in...a commission based..insurance/investment sales position.She's smart..but she has low EQ. She can't communicate with people properly and sales is wrong for her. And now, she has pestered every single relative she has to invest with her so that she can earn her commission. Everyone's been complaining from my aunts to my cousins.
I wish I can sit her down and tell her to get a proper job. Sales isn't for everyone and definitely not for her. And stop using the same method she use to pester people to go to church for this job. Going to church and investing is totally different! Similar example is..someone can be top student at maths but not for geography or literature. Its different and for her own good, stop pursuing this job. She's only wasting her time and energy on something that she won't succeed in. I might be good with money but picasso will flip in his grave if he sees my art or karl lagerfield will pull his hair out if he sees my dress design!
Can someone counsel this lost child? She goes to church every sunday and cell group etc etc. So can god do her a favour and point her in the right direction? Please?

Chloe Dao - what happened and why did you do it..
I know i'm a little behind time but I can't help if foxtel showed something from March 06 only now. The show is Project Runway. Its a reality show featuring a bunch of designers who make their own clothing according to the week's theme and one of them will get voted out every week based on the judges' decision. So I watched the finale of Project Runway today. Chloe Dao won and her dresses were AMAZING. Unfortunately, she died right after the show..on the same day she won the competition. I googled it and seems as though she committed suicide.
Such a pity. She's not only a designer but a businesswoman. I believe there was an article that stated that Neiman Marcus was going to employ her as a designer or sell her label. She had a future that people who die for but she committed suicide. No one knows what happened and maybe no one will know.
Someone told me that reality tv stars have a high suicide rate. A lot of them get depressed after the show etc etc. I think reality show is getting to a stage where it is ridiculous the things producers do just to keep the ratings up and there is a line between ratings and morality.
