I don't want to think about this

You know that you're stressed, when you just ate a whole bar of chocolate by yourself. And yes, I just did that. And no, it's not work related. I have been thinking about this for the past few days, and I have not come to an answer as to what I should do.

spinning woman

Just came back from swimming at Safra. It's been so long since I gave my muscles a good stretch, since I'm practically coped behind the desk 9 hours a day, 5 days a week. And when I get home, I'm usually too tired to do anything else other than nua on my bed. As I went to swim at night, the lights in the swimming pool reflected on the bottom of the pool,forming many flickering swirls of white images. It was really a pretty sight :) Oh, and I forgot to bring my towel. So I was a soaking mess after I bathe, and water was dripping down my hair onto my shirt like crazy, as I cycled back to my house. I think those passer-bys who saw me probably thought I was some deranged woman, because my whole body was dripping wet. -.-

By the way, I saw this optical illusion thing on my friend's blog just now. I guess many of you have already seen this before.

Watch the optical illusion here: (Don't know why Blogger cui and cannot upload the GIF image)

The amazing thing is that this woman used to spin anti-clockwise to me at first glance. But now, when I took a look at it, it actually spins CLOCKWISE! I googled "spinning woman" and this was what I found: If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. And here are some of the right brain functions:

• uses feeling
• "big picture" oriented
• imagination rules
• symbols and images
• present and future
• philosophy & religion
• can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
• believes
• appreciates
• spatial perception
• knows object function
• fantasy based
• presents possibilities
• impetuous
• risk taking

I was always a left brain person ie. someone who uses logic, detailed orientation, practical etc (you know what I mean). So I was quite surprised when the woman spinned clockwise for me haha...maybe it's the miracles after entering nbs. :D

So what do you see?

:(

I was so bloody pissed off at someone yesterday. Long story, and I'm lazy to explain. My bloody really boiled to the max, and I ALMOST wanted to said the f word to him (you can see how mad I was as I am not even a person who swears). I realised that when you absolutely dislike someone, you find everything about him irritating, and everything about him really starts to get on my nerves. Amazingly, everyone found him to be damm shuai looking. Even the GUYS who saw his fb were like "wow, good looking sia". His cocky attitude and the way he thinks that he's always right spoils everything. Luckily I saw the funny offline message that my friend left me on msn, and that's why I didn't explode right there and then.

Luckily, my colleagues at work keep me sane. Speaking of my colleagues, I'm really thankful for such a funny and bunch of people who I work with everyday. :D

PIssed

Friday was a horrible day. Forgot to bring uoc shirt for phototaking, and had to trouble Clement to pop by to my house to collect the shirt. Then after one whole day at work meeting sponsors, I had to rush to NTU for uoc meeting without having dinner. Then, the meeting ended at 11pm =.= After kx told me all the deadline that I have to rush this coming two weeks, I was like wth. Feel damn apologetic to darren and kb cos they waited so long for me to have dinner as their gl meeting ended earlier, and in the end, they still had to leave without dinner because by 10pm, kx still had a lot of stuff to discuss for pnp. So, I went home hungry and tired, and what I reached home, I was even more pissed because my dad immediately started to rant at me for coming home so late. I cannot control what time the meeting ends right? I know my dad is concerned about me because apparently, there are some stabbing incidents around my area. Clement told me about the series of robberies around my area, and he said that his friend kena stabbed. Maybe that's why they installed CCTV at my lift. =.= When did Tampines become so unsafe?!?! I've always thought Tampines is this friendly and nice neighbourhood hahah...

The Wii came on Saturday morning, and as I am typing now, Sandy is playing bowling on Wii Sports. I got the Wii because I replied to this email on my NTU webmail. Some people in WKW Sch of Comms wanted to conduct a study on the effect of games on parent-child relationship, and coincidentally, my family fits the bill because my family has a "grandparent living at home" and "a child below the age of 16". So, the Wii will be stuck in my house for 3 weeks. So after the Wii guy came in the morning to set up the Wii and explained the study to me (I have to keep a diary log), then I went to Starbucks for the rest of the day to do the designs for UOC. Yes, entire day from 2 to 10pm. Amazing how starbucks ppl never kick me out.

I had to crap out forewords for Alan and Kx, and by the time I got to Kx's foreword, I had nothing to say liao. lol. I would seem like a stalker to those people in Starbucks, because I had to put kx, darwis, alan and sh's photos in the booklet. And what better way to pick photos than our favourite Facebook. Therefore, I kept clicking pics in Fb, and when I saw one that I like, I saved it, and edited them in Photoshop. And of course when using Photoshop, I had to ZOOM in to edit the picture. It's not surprising why I heard one little girl commenting "Eh, why the person so weird keep looking and zooming people's pictures." But booklet is finally done, although it's not very nice, but I'm just glad to complete one thing. Also redid the banner because the resolution was too bad to be printed.

And speaking of UOC really makes my blood boil...I'm sorry for ranting on and on to you about uoc stuff on msn. Not many people know about the matter which I told you about, and I cannot afford to say because we have so many common friends which will just lead to potential awkwardness when the others know about it. Thanks for standing up for me and seeing her face change when you talked about that issue (I think that was definitely epic), as well as offering to help me. :D

Ok, I just told mum about the genting/kl trip with m group. And kena scolded, because she feels that it is a waste of money because I have been to genting and kl a million times already, and she says that I'm like flying all over the place because I'm going Krabi too. But, with different company it's different leh. =.=

Thank you SM GOH for the "advice" just now,

The title pretty much says it all :D

Rise and rise again until lambs become lions

I am awake at this unholy hour because I had just come home after watching Robin Hood. The movie bored me to death because it was so long! I fell asleep halfway throughout the movie, and when I woke up, I told Clement "Eh I don't know what is happening leh." Nevertheless, the fight scenes at the end were great, lot's of arrows shooting around and lot's of people getting killed with arrows stuck in their head, throat or body. The title above is one of my favourite lines from the movie, which basically means NEVER TO GIVE UP :D Isn't it ironic that I've watched Robin Hood, but not Iron Man or Ip Man?

And now, I'm uploading the photos to the UOC page. Feel quite shi bai as pnp, especially when Mun Fong asked me yesterday why there's nothing on the website (not even the date of the camp) when the camp is so near. And I still haven't send out the email about the t shirts to the GLs. OMG.Another sleepless night tonight.

Something Zi Shuo said made me feel that I'm being exploited by Lines. And Clement basically just told me to quit my job.

Work life so far

Today is my second day of work at Lines Advertising, and I'm really tired. I didn't expect they would pass so much work for an intern (namely, ME) to do, and to actually entrust me with so much responsibilities. Currently, Lines Advertising is running a DJ Competition for Singapore Discovery Center, consisting of many roadshows and finally cumulating in a final showdown competition somewhere in June. They actually asked me to go and be in charge of all the sponsorships and publicity aspects of the event. Hence for the past few days, I was busy doing contacting sponsors. Definitely more xiong than UOC because it's biz mag and pnp rolled into one! Work starts at 9am and ends at 6.30pm, but I'm aways the first one to leave because everybody is still doing their work. That said, my colleagues and boss are really nice people. Perhaps because the company is small, that's why everyone is so close knitted.:D It's great to feel empowered, because I sense that they really trust me with my work by giving me actial responsibilities (and not menial jobs like photocopying stuff or data entry stuff). But, it doesn't feel like an internship. It feels like an actual JOB. Actually, I'm quite scared that I'll burn out or screw up (whichever comes first), because I feel quite overwhelmed by everything. I'm serious, although it's only the second day, I already feel rather overwhelmed. Wait till you see the long list of stuff I have to handle and you'll understand why). There's this short meeting at the end of the day where you have to update others what you have done so far on your part.

Luckily, I had a breather tonight by having dinner with my friend.We went to this Thai place near City Hall mrt, and the food was definitely great (not to mention CHEAP. Somemore, there's no GST and service charge, so it's really worth it! Another great company tomorrow night as there's dinner with M group! And, my Wii will be coming on Thusday (I'm not so rich to buy a Wii lah, shall update about this Wii thing another time). Finally, UOC meeting on Friday, and I'm also volunteering for Singapore Art Fest, so there's training this Sat too. Busy busy week ahead!
