Month: June 2006

Now I feel as though I am awarded with large amount of Pension after working for 2 years.

I had my appraisal this morning, I am glad that my company is paying me 2 month bonus on top of my salary. Can I humbly say I am very fortunate? My company has also open the door of opportunity for me to work part time if my time table allows. Seriously, I really appreciate all these. No doubt Im do have some complains and grumbles, but they are really paying me good money. And some of the real friendship I have built here, I really treasure them. They are the most precious first-job-in-society experience I had.

I am really really really a fortunate girl. If there is a lord, I thank him for all his blessing~

I always find Durex advertisement very kinky but innovative. Never fail to give their products a new point of view.

This morning I received 1 durex flyer at Raffles Link. Didn’t want to take it from the distributor’s hand initially but it’s a plain white deboss card. One and only thing that comes to my mind is that they do not have any printing on it, promoting tution schools, beauty houses, nail parlors or language centers so they should not be entering my office’s dust bin. The plain white deboss card could be something interesting that worth my attention.

Still not getting any clue when I received from the distributor. But until you flip to the other face, a durex advertisement promoting their new product, Pleasuremax. You will tear the outline of the diagram and make them into a roll dice. You might have seen many of such ideas, however the copy writting flavours the kinky-ness emotion.

Thinking back, is the distributor intentionally flip the card to the blank side or he is told to do so?

I don’t wanna go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody’s breaking up
Throwing their love away
But I know I got a good thing right here
That’s why I say (Hey)

[Chorus]
Nobody gonna love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody gonna take me higher
I must stick with you

You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you, my baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

I don’t wanna go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride in our private lives
Ain’t nobody getting in between
I want you to know that you’re the only one for me (one for me)
And I say

[Chorus]

And now
Ain’t nothing else I can need (nothing else I can need)
And now
I’m singing ’cause you’re so, so into me
I got you
We’ll be making love endlessly
I’m with you (baby, I’m with you)
Baby, you’re with me (Baby, you’re with me)

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s all that counts

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s why I say

[Chorus x 2]

现在的男人太过专一。
现在的女人太爱捏花惹草。

男人为保护心爱的女人，不惜划清界限，只求疼惜她和她相爱到老。
女人为她心中所爱的男人，不惜放弃爱她的男人，执着地等着不可能发生的恋情。

你要说男人死缠着你不放，
倒不如说女人搞不清状况。

This is my very first time betting on a soccer match (of course with much help from Lester). I truely understand why the guys are so engrossed in the matches, even some of them are pretty lousy.

My heart pounded very hard in second half match as Korea is behind Togo by 1 goal. But that is not the point~ Coz Korea won yesterday’s match anyway…

Shall choose selected match to watch. Heez~

Surfing the internet for some stuff and i come across these recipes:

Barley Scrub
Ground up barley can also be used as a gentle facial scrub. Seems that barley is something that should be in your beauty ingredient cupboard.

Honey Cleansing Scrub
Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.

Facial Toner
In blender, puree 1 tablespoon honey with a peeled, cored apple. Smooth over face, leave on 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

Firming Face Mask
Whisk together 1 tablespoon honey, 1 egg white, 1 teaspoon glycerin (available at drug and beauty stores) and enough flour to form a paste (approximately 1/4 cup). Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Moisture Mask
Mix 2 tablespoons honey with 2 teaspoons milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Smoothing Skin Lotion
Mix 1 teaspoon honey with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub into hands, elbows, heels and anywhere that feels dry. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with water.

Skin Softening Bath
Add 1/4 cup honey to bath water for a fragrant, silky bath.

Hair Shine
Stir 1 teaspoon honey into 4 cups (1 quart) warm water. Blondes may wish to add a squeeze of lemon. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair. Do not rinse out. Dry as normal.

Hair Conditioner
Mix 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup olive oil. (Use 2 tablespoons oil for normal hair.) Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap. Leave on 30 minutes. Remove shower cap, shampoo well and rinse. Dry as normal.

Yes~ I’m definitely looking forward to my redang trip but with some worries. My period is going to hit one of these days. Sigh~ But I had a few advices from my beloved colleagues and Geok Leng. So i get to know that there is this “magic pill” from the doctor that can postpone your period. Just take them 2 to 3 days before your period. Hmm… Best solution~ Just pop some pills.

One of my colleagues has been very “helpful”. She pass me a tampon, asking me to give it a try. I nearly fainted in the toilet when i open the package. Seriously (and shy to say), I don’t know how to insert that thingy. And i dun think i will use that in my life. Hahaha~

Just return from Keong Siak Street from a Farewell Dinner for Edel and June. Both of them have been serving the company for 13 to 14 years and they have decided to end their service today.

I know June as she is in my lunch kaki the first day i started work. I only get to know more about her when we have a number of chance to have individual lunch when Fanny is on hospital leave. Relationship builds stronger when we moved into this new business building and she sits 2 cabinets away from me.

Edel has been the cheerful and loud mummy in the company. Other than comical and nonsensical, she always like to imitate how people behave and talk, making the floor audience laugh. You will remember her as a food icon. She always treat me like a little girl in the company. Call me Ah Hiang in the company until sometimes i also pai seh.

The dinner progresses quite well and the food is nice. We made quite a noisy group of female and the crappy ones. It is always when we bid goodbye, someone started to tear. This time is Fanny. I don’t dare to go near Edel or June coz I know for sure cannot control myself. Neither do i dare to look into Fanny’s direction. The emotions can be easily spread, I thought. Several eye watery incidents, but I managed to clean them off. Hope I can stay calm when my turn comes.

Wish them all the best in their future. We will definitely keep in good contacts.

Sasa has burnt / will burn a big hole in my pocket. Once again, I am going to return to my secondary school way of buying facial masks and other beauty products. But I definitely have gained some knowledge and become wiser in choosing products that are suitable for my skin.

At the same time I am also thinking, does the theory expensive = good quality in this area? I believe it does. I can’t deny that I sometimes get too obsess with expensive products. However, wisdom tells me we should get stuff that is SUITABLE instead.

Anyway, I have decided to change my toner brand to one of the Korean toner the sales girl has recommended. It is extracted from the plants, no alcohol and has whitening effects. Seriously, I am in quite a dilemma to be either white or tanned. It is easy to be white, and I thought white is beautiful whenever I see the office ladies in Raffles Place. However, I foresee that I will be out in the sun as frequent when I go back to school. Tanning is also easy, just the hazzle to maintain the copper tone with the constant exposure to the killing sunlight. Likely to cause pigmentation if no proper care taken. Too pale looks sick… Too dark wear black colour clothes (which are my favourite) not nice… I now belong to a faded tanned and a tinted fair.

Did a search in the Google, this is what I found in About.com. Some leisure reading for ladies who are interested about AHA – Alpha Hydroxy Acids and BHA – Beta Hydroxy Acid.

Better think twice before you make any similar statement:
“My parents don’t love me…”

They are showing hidden concern. Appreciate them when they are still around~
