Yesterday was a weird day for me.

I felt tired, sleepy (although I slept at my usual bedtime, 12mn, the previous night), restless (I was bored surfing the Net, I neber got bored before), my stomach too full after lunch, my right leg was aching (Still is). I was like a walking zoombie.

Do you ever feel that whatever you dreamed the night before could make you feel so exhausted? I remembered that the previous night before, I had a dream. In the dream, I was told tat my new flat in Sengkang was ready and so we (me and hubb) travelled fr Jurong to my new flat. We were like planning the renovation with a contractor and in a flash, the house was ready. I remember that next we shifted to our new house and remembered feeling tired after moving in.

I woke up when my father-in-law knocked on the door calling out my name. (Hehehe..my father in-law always wake me up when I dont wake up by 6am. He cares for me despite the "aloof" look he tries to portray.) I woke up and since then I felt soo tired as if I really did do all the things I dreamed.

After the Nasi Padang lunch, I rested my head on the table and told myself tat I am only closing my eyes for awhile. Somehw, I drifted into a deep sleep within 25mins, I tink I was even dreamin! So when "the idiot who tries to act smart" came into the office and the door chime belted, I was shocked fr my sleep. The most embrassasing thing was I woke up and muttered something like "Alamak! Macam mana bole tertido ni?!" If I didnt say that, she would not hav known that I had fallen asleep. Didnt know why or wat made me say that.

In the evening, I had a terrible headache wch I managed to "ren" until my drivin was over. Worst I had the Baba instructor yesterday, and his "Haiyah!" didnt help with my headache!

Somehow the headache must hav affected my vision. I somehw lane changed to right infront of a fast moving sbs bus, dangerously. Usually, I dont dare to cut into the lane esp if a taxi or a bus is behind. Cant imagine wat could hav happened if I did not accelerate abit more.

Weird thing is, the Baba instructor said at the end of the lesson, "Not bad, your drivin is better today" I was like "Huh?!". A rare compliment tat came fr a previously very discouraging instructor.

Come to think of it, maybe part of me was still in Sengkang in my new flat when I woke up, thus the zoombie feeling. I felt much better today, after a good night's sleep, maybe tat part of me had travelled back to Jurong. Or could it be just a simple case of insuff sleep, well, I always never hav enuff sleep, thus the black rings and eyebags. (Therefor, why do you think is the reason tat I dont post my pic alot on my blog)

p/s My BMI is overweight at 23.8. Must try to lose some weight, or gain height! Believe it or nt, I was an XS previous to a M size nw!

Anyone watched Eye for a Guy 2 yesternight? I wished I didn't. Not tat Im an avid fan. I kinda watch whateva is on the black box every night as I do my ironing.

It is so depressing, to see Howard disappointed. Although I dont care less for Wolfgang, I think Howard should win. At least he should get to go to Europe with Denise, for all the effort he had put in. But I dont find Denise tat rewarding either. I liked the way he played the game. He's a true blue gentleman. And bcoz he sings terrible. I'd prefer an honest out-of-tune guy than a smooth "wolf" in disguise anytime.

*wink*wink* tats why I love my hubb, he sings terrible.....

PART ONE
Its Monday again. I wonder if its me r does the wkend really fly? I was just looking forward to Sat, I remember, and nw its Monday all over again. Sigh...

Its gonna b 3 long wks, stuck wif the "idiot who tries to act smart". Dun understd the pple here, they hav like 30+ days of leave brought over frm last year and yet they refuse to clear them. They wld rather "burn" 10+ days of leave each year rather than taking what is entitled to them. To them it is like a "sacrifice". Stupid. Definately, the gabermen wont pay them more r recognize them for nt claiming their leave! Mayb some dun take leave coz they dun hav anything to do at hme, work is their only life! Mayb some dun take leave coz they r running fr smething at hme! They deserve my sympathy for tat.

Wif this, I am glad tat I am entitled to take leave. Tat I hav someone to spend my leave wif at home. Tat I hav something to do wen I take leave. Tat I hav a fullfilling life! Alhamdulillah!

p/s The "idiot who tries to act smart" left last Wednesday without clearing the rubbish, her fav t-cher came to me complainin tat the rubbish bin is full. I told her that the idiot is on course and wld only b back Monday. I had to clear them to avoid any stories being twisted. Today wen I told the idiot of this, she could only managed to complain abt another t-cher's class, to cover her black ass....

PART TWO
Girls out there, b careful. It happened to me rite this morning.

As usual, I would try to catch some zzz... on the train to wrk every mornin. The trip fr Jurong to AMK everyday is to long for one to juz sit and gaze at the person sitting opposite of you, wif out causing discomfort to either party. So as usual, after plugging in the earphones, I wld rest my head to the side glass panel or on my hubb's shoulder (if he's on the train wif me) and soon after I wld be in slumberland zzz....

Tis mornin, whilst in slumberland, I was awaken by something feeling warm near my left arm. The train was in Yishun. There was a mainland man sitting next to me, in a pair of trousers and dark red t-shirt. He had his document bag on his lap and was sitting cross-legged like ladies do. If you do sit cross-legged, you wld know tat you wld take lesser space than the one seat allows. Wat I noticed was, although tis man was sitted cross-legged, he was inclined to his right, my left, such tat he was somewat leanin on my left arm. I gazed across him and noticed tat there were two men sitted next to him, so I tot, there is insufficient space, and so I tried to make myself small by crossing my leg to the right, leaning more on the glass panel. But this time his document bag was somewat resting on my left thigh. I shifted a bit more and somehw, his bag found his way near my thigh again.

This triggered my defensive sensor. I crossed my leg to the other direction such tat my right heel is somewat near his left shin, anytime he tried to move closer, my heel would touch his shin. I purposely sit straight up and used my bag, on my lap, to shove his bag abit more each time the train moved to the left. I kept looking to my left, as though I am looking at the two men beside him. Wif tat I actually meant to tell him in a less agressive way, "Move it you big ass!". I think my big eyes managed to get the msg to him. He acted like he had to take his prepaid card out fr his pocket at the same time he shifted slightly to his left. I continued to make him feel uncomfortable. Finally, he left wen the train was at YCK.

I hope tis serves as a reminder to us ladies, including myself, tat wen we doze off in the train, first secure your bags, be careful esp wif those type of bags wch can be easily pickpocketed from. Try to be alert wen dozing off in the train. YOU CAN NEVER B TOO CAREFUL.

p/s my hubb will nag if he comes to know abt tis incident. Unfortunately, today he had to turn back hme to get his hp and so he did not send me. If nt tis cld not hav happen.

Im all alone, today and tomorrow. The others are either on leave or on course. Tot I will hav time to laze ard, surf da net, kpo abit on pple's blog....but hell no! I hav been on da move fr 8 tis mornin till right tis moment. I'm damn tired. Go home and I hav a pile of clothes to wash. Tis becoz I've had more drivin classes recently.

Talk bout tat...my prac drivin will be on 8 July. Wish me luck! Nearing the prac, my skills should be better, but its not, infact its becomin worse by da day. Mayb I put too much pressure on myself. How not too, when I am scoring 30+ points everytime! The instructor said I am too cautious when drivin plus I lack in confidence. I've booked 10 revision lessons tat I hope will help to build up my confidence.

Ok, time to go...mayb I can catch up wif some zzz on da way back hme.

Still hav nt received da supposedly couriered letter of offer fr KL. Somehw, its kinda good, I'm wishin tat it wld be lost in the courier man's bag of parcels and packages. Well, until few days b4 31 June, wch is kinda impossible, but Im reallly hoping...., so tat I wld still get tat big fat bonus.

I sort of deserve it (bonus i.e.), been workin hard, slogging everyday, carrying heavy baskets of apparatus and equipments up n dwn to the other labs. Tat reminds me of another push factor, tis job could be quite hazardous for me wen Im startin a family.

oh, btw, last Friday, the "dumb fool who refuses to open up his mind" left at 4pm without a word, I was helpin a t-cher wif her project da whole day. Guess his jealousy is back, he left without a wrd, leavin the door unlocked, whilst I was at the other floor. This morning, he tried to avoid me by doing work in the other lab. I prefer it tat way, dont need someone to add to my Monday blues.....

Hi! Its shitty news again.

My eyes almost popped out wen I heard tat there wld be 0.4 percent bonus for July, this mornin on my way to work. Last year it was only announced towards July. Why is it so early this year!

It is therefore officially confirmed----I invite disaster.

But my resolution to leave becomes stronger everytime I converse with the "dumb fool who refuses to open up his mind".

E.g. I was excitedly showing him how some scientific calculation is worked out from a book which incidently uses the rxn of Sulphur and Oxygen as a example. All he could say is " they are makin sulphur dioxide ah? eh this is toxic chemical u know!"

DUH????!!!! It was only an example from the book? God, where are his ears?!

Wondering why I'm blogging a wheeny bit early today? Coz I cant contain myself anymore.

Did I tell u tat I went for an interview sometime back in early May? Well, I actually blew the interview coz I was stammering, answering their questions blindly, I couldn't give them "correct" answers which I picked and practiced before the interview. Middle of the interview, I actually wanted to bit my own tongue so that I could stop beating abt the bush and givin answers wch I myself dun get.

Somehow the Manager liked me alot, mayb coz my previous bosses were fr their co. and apparently, my ex-bosses left wif their clients, so I might be their get-back tool.

Well, the HR manager called me tis morning fr KL and offered me the job. Previously, I was told tat I was supposed to go for a second interview, ( fyi, I had spent close to 100 bucks on new wardrobe for tat interview wif the MD) and nw she told me tat I didnt need to go for tat anymore. I guess it was also a good buy coz my wardrobe had turned into a complete disaster since starting work at my current job: casual, colorful tees and lots of loose clothing--> I dont get the privilege of air-con, can u imagine tat, esp in hot humid Spore!!!!

Thing is I tot I definately lost tat offer, so I was kinda looking forward to July bonus, esp since my savings were all depleted by my drivin. Seems like they need me urgently so I will hav to tender quite soon, tat means I hav to forgo July bonus. Shit!

Plus right this morning my HOD expressed his interest in holding Life Sci workshops in the future. Shit! I had been sitting here for the past 2 yrs unmotivated and unused coz nobody wanted to explore my capabilities in Life Sci until tis very moment. Shit!

Btw did I tell you tat the call came rite after I decided to reply to another job opening! I mean it literally rang rite after I clicked SEND. Shit!

I guess my hubb is correct, I am kinda like Susan (Teri Hatcher) in Desperate Housewives, I invite/ create disasters! Shit always happens to me!
