clutter, clutter and more clutter!

There are currently 3 spots in my room (not to mention my wardrobe) which is accumulating lotsa clutter!!!

They are:

1) my dressing table
2) my computer table and the mini table beside it
3) my bed

my dressing table clutters cos i am simply too lazy to use the 101 skin care products which I keep buying even before I finish what I already have!! I'm a sucker for pretty packaging and product descriptions that implies miracles(though that doesn't happen most of the time!)!so i just keep buying and buying..and i tend to forget that i still have at least 4 tubes of sunblock lying on my table whenever im deciding to buy or not to buy yet another one! plus i have a sister who contributes the skincare products which she deem not suitable for her skin or sometimes at my request every now and then! then after sometime, the products which i have not touched for a while starts to collect dust, and i find that quite eeky so i just throw...not very environmentally friendly i know! so after i finish the next dressing table spring cleaning..i vow to start being conscientious and stop buying more....(except if they are on sale!)

my computer table is accumulating clutter cos of the endless bills and letters i am getting! internet bill, phone bill, credit card bills (even though the payable amount is zero, they still bill u),bank statements, bank product brochures,etc etc..
and to make matters worse, my shredder malfunctioned and so i couldn't clear them, argh.

my bed also. i am getting lesser and lesser sleeping space cos my soft toys are accumulating! i currently have 5 elmos, 2 melodies, one f1 bear and 3 members of my xiao family on my bed! i can hardly move around in bed..time to banish some to the cold palace!

need to execute a major spring cleaning soon!

TGIF!!

TGIF! but sighs..today wasn't a good day. i thought the lunch was supposed to start at 12.45pm, according to our joblist..the email which I have didn't state the time as well..so i thought, so be it. So i just slowly take long journey bus slowly reach the destination while playing mario party..but the PR called to ask where i was as the lunch was starting soon...at 12.15pm! argh...this is not just some normal social lunches but is with the big shots! i think is very rude to be late lor..and to be 30mins late is ridiculous!

actually i 摆乌龙 is coz my AA put the wrong timing on the job list..but 算了lor..i think im just damn suay, period!

temperature at Kowloon is now 20.2deg celsius...tts cooling! i think it will become cooler in the next 2 weeks...heh great! tt way, i wont look weird in my winter sonata outfit...du du du...

Anticipating that HK Trip!

whee! it's finally friday...2 more work weeks to go and off to HK we go! but sighs..we only exchanged half of the HKD we need a few weeks ago when the exchange rate was 5.2 (still miserable compared to the 5.7 i got last september!). Now, the exchange rate has plunged to 5.0!! gosh..the exchange rate is like stock market, makes my heart pound every second! but then again..we are only gonna change another 800SGD or so..won't make out forex losses such a big deal anyway...

oh well, and i have decided to postpone my wisdom teeth extraction to next Jan! This is so that i could tap on the dental benefit for next year cos i already used up this years' for doing the Xray and cleaning and stuff like that previously...which means, no more 3 days MC for me at the beginning of dec before my HK trip..but i am rather relief also so that i don have to fear any complications when i am in HK and can eat just anything i want to! happy! :)

counting down......!

I came back to blog

I got inspired to start blogging again after stumbling into lin's blog where she spoke about donating blood. Talking about this, i think i wanna donate blood too! the last time i did so was last year during CNY..that was my first time donating blood. but to be honest, 我不是真的有爱心,is cos of the fortune teller on the channel 8 CNY eve programme la..he say属猪的人should donate blood during that 15 days of CNY to wand off bad luck and so i did. You are right, i'm a pantang girl.

"Pantang girl..she's been living in a Pangtang world..I bet she never had a Pantang boy..I bet her Mama never told her why..that's what I am..." no prize for guessing the original song title right.

well actually i have a bigger task today, that is to blog about a major event in my life.. and that is teddy's successful "steambath!"

I have always been apprehensive about washing teddy, cos of his old age and frail physique, i'm afraid he'll be reduced to nothing.his hands are "bor" enough already. Until last Friday, when me and beh were at Liang Court Audio House, we chanced upon this LG washing machine that has this cute advert on it:



This clean bear really reminds me of teddy when he was younger and fairer! damn cute! so when we got home, beh tried to use the teddy bath cleaning agent we bought from harvey norman a couple of months ago to clean teddy..and guess what..it's pretty effective! To show the effectiveness of the teddy bath, beh cleaned only one side of teddy to give him this 中无艳look:



effective right?! teddy is now cleaner than before and i have reverted to hugging him instead of snuffles to sleep..oops. oh well, snuffles is really fat my arms get tired after a while, so he shall sleep beside me and smell my face instead. :P

I'll post a picture of clean teddy soon and also the teddy bath for the benefit of all you folks out there who are yearning for a make-over for your teddies!

大扫除

我实在看不下我日益狭窄又凌乱的房间,今天终于大刀阔斧的丢弃初院的笔记。从那两箱笔记中挖掘出当时情窦初开时画出的智炜卡通画像。除了那些,其他的都丢了!房间看起来整齐和宽阔了些。 我也趁机看看了我的receipt and ticket stubs collection,看是否能丢掉一些。 我可是receipts queen, 不只钱包装满了"gao(3) gao(3)" 的 receipts, 就连房间的任何一个角落都有 receipts 的踪影。

那些 receipts 仿佛让我回到过去。回到中学时期。我有好多 movie ticket stubs 哦! 证明我是爱戏之人,看过的影片多样化。A.I, Sixth Sense, 小倩,安娜马德连娜,连 “吃风“ (jiak hong) 的ticket stub 都有。 我还在其中一年生日到TCS观看 《搞笑行动》。 以前也经常出席嘉雯的 band concerts, 现在没设么机会了。 也挖到一些当年拍的neo card, 实在青春123!该保养了啦。

搞定了两箱,还有6,7,箱等待判决。盼望大扫除后续。

咖啡因惹的祸

一个小时前,我爬上床准备迎接另一个工作日的开始。 一个小时后,在床上不停打滚,无法入眠的我决定上MSN找人聊天,暗自希望聊天对象能乏味无趣,使我渐渐步上梦境之途。。不料,与我相伴的人是 miss goh zhaoying (“噪音”),让我越聊越起劲。你说我哪里还睡得着?

让我失眠的罪魁祸首大概是咖啡因吧。今天在Settlers'的freeflow Coke和晚餐时饮用的Milk Tea Float总含一杯咖啡所设有的咖啡因成分。 天啊,Mondays 已经够blue了,至少让我过个有精神的蓝色星期一吧,ok?

好啦,我去灌杯Yakult,再上床式一式。晚安!
