She's been not updating for a long time. She knows its. Maybe there's less things she's complaining about, since we have to admit that blog/journals are the little passageway that provides a little comfort to life.
In summery, life's been ok.
Yes, definately awkwards moments, like lesser talking to some people and more talking to another group of people. Drifting away from some and getting closer to others. But being here for about a year,(2nd Sept 2008,I landed in this city)perhaps, she's gotten used to the often changing politics/grouping of people. Something not that nice to happen, but maybe that's life and this trip here has taught her to see the world and the mankind a little bit more. Well, like I said, every bad things that happens in your life may not be that bad afterall :)
And, she's moving out to somewhere and hopefully we can secure the place. Somewhere we can call our own. And there's something about colleagues staying together. 1 year here and its has proven to be not that ideal idea because there's no break between office and home. Guess that's what we all need a home to go back to, to meet another group of people. Ok, not that she's staying out alone but yea..at least more private. Will upload more pictures of the moving house progress...and the cleaning and the moving and the fitting out works. Haha...Will have to move alone since my dearest roommate is going back SIN.
And yea, every thursday weekend, hopefully it stays the same. Having some nice dinner after work on Thurs evening and a little chilling session...guess makes life pass a little faster and less boring..Being someone who will sit infront of the screen waiting for something to happen...it definately helps alot to bring your mind somewhere else for a little break.
And leave's approved for end november till 20th December.
So yup...will wait for Nee to transfer some photos for me before images are loaded.

Little things
Hmm...
Little things here and there make your day a little bad. Its good now. But..well, maybe life is just like that...when something picks up, something goes down. Some little things become such an issue.
Some days she wonder if its gonna be lost one day. Some days she wonder if its becoming less exciting. Some days she wonder if she should suppress her thoughts. There's fear. Fear of change. Fear of becoming tired or becoming a very tiresome person. The past sometimes seems to haunt her. The past sometimes remind her of who she might become, or might seem to be to others. Maybe its the combination. Maybe there's no best combination. Maybe there's a factor of sacrifice to make to attain some good from it?
Keeping shut the best option? Trying to be understanding is the best option? What's the best?

Just a little sunshine, a little sea water gets her happy...And yes..being afraid of sharks in M'sia water...and yet when Mel's manage to convince her to dip into the Arabian gulf waters...She just did it without any knowledge of the surrounding...there's sharks..haha..
Well but the water is warm and nice...its addictive and it didn't occur to her that warm water is where shark lives too!!! And the picture is a school of dolphins..nto shark..haha

1star shit
Yes, today's been relatively smooth sailing. Have learnt how to control her speech and action in the past 8 months...have to be ultra sensitive and ultra careful what you speak. Every word might get you into trouble, even the smallest, unimaginable issue.
And very delightful to have received a unexpected morale booster email (this is the plus point why today is less than 1 star shit).
Some times you know that some things are not possible because we are standing on a different greenwich meridian line. Yet, she didn't deny the power of imagination. It is good enough to bring you across the continent and accomplish it, in your mind.
Goodnight. Off the lights! Huggies!

Things she grew to hate
The Dubai Lesson: Going from dislike to Hate
One thing that pisses her off is when people don't talk with manners, put it in a simple term, being rude.
Being rude is one thing she wouldn't entertain...So no rude kids, no kids who misbehave...And she've noticed that she limit it to describing kids because most of the time, grown up have some manners. In this case, she's talking about a grown up. OLDER THAN I AM.
She hates rude reply especially when she tries to talk nicely to you though she's pissed off already. Enough said. Fucking rude...and it's pushing her limit. Not that she's got alot of patience, but she'll normally give face and she's been controlling her hot tempered way too much...and yet she's on the verge of sounding like something her mum would say:'You better talk with some manners before I slap you.'
She hates how she have to see other's mood to work. And bloody hell, this is not a farming industry!She's not a farmer and she doesn't have to rely on a bloody weather forecast to decide what to do with the day. Woman have PMS and are moody but hell no, I'm not talking about a woman here. I've never ever met someone who have 26days/mth PMS. Hello!! I'm a female and I don't think I've ever have such bad PMS as compared to alot of people, let alone you. And if you are really in a terrible mood in 26days out of 30days a month, shouldn't you have already learn some self control? And if you are in bad mood, you don't have to make everyone suffer like you do. (On another note, maybe that is why females are at times stronger than males? Because god decides that we'll get to suffer cramps monthly for 20+ years and yet we'll still need to carry on our daily duties as per normal. And because of that, we need to put up with people who try to make life difficult for you whether or not you are already super irritated by the backache and cramps. And yet at the same time, trying not to loose your temper at those bastards who never stop trying to make things difficult for you)
Work is work, your mood is none of her business because she's only here for work and how can you ever let your mood decides how people work should turn out to be? (Being a believer in you deserve what you get, being bad deserves no pity from her)
When you're in good mood, everything is ok and even if its not ok, you will source the answer out. But when your mood is bad, you done even bother to give an answer or, give a rude/crude fucking attitude/answer. And the point is, you don't have to do anything to offend the person. You can be ultra nice but it seems that the person can decide how to treat you by the mood he wakes up to...She's sick and tired of saying the word unprofessional.
Not that she's so perfect, not that she's not rude at times, not that she's sooo professional..
but just that I DON'T FUCKING OWE YOU A LIVING! No one in this world owe you a living. And no one is also responsible for your life (including your mood and tantrum and attitude). So kid, grow up!
And she dislike politics and lies (Worse still, stupid lies) White lies is never too much of a harm, that is what she think. However, to lie and think that people are stupid, and lying selfishly to benefit themselves is very disappointing. Very.
That's it. Enough of complain for the day, complain queen.
Thank you for her Takeshi's movie. Seeing your wit makes me smile like a crazy 6year old girl.
And thank you to her you-know-who-you-are for being way mature beyond your age. She can't help but always compare how much better you are. Everytime these shits happen, it always make her realise how indifferent you are and remind her of why she've always admire you, your attitude, your spirit, your temper..and the list can go on...and on...even your weakness is better than the other person's best (that's if she can remember your weakness)
Goodnight. Today has been a 8star shit. Let tomorrow be just a 1star shit.

Just a couple of lazy days...
And guess pictures will be left to speak of itself for the past 2 months...Summer is hitting the desert yet again...And time seemed to pass faster than expected. Half a year of 2009 is about to be up...and yet there's alot to catch up with...
Marina Barrage Picnic while she was back...
And this is last month's Jumeira Beach outing while the weather is still bearable...it would be long before we'll hit the beach again...40degrees and going up..
Glad she's finally warming up to Dubai and making a couple of friends here, and meeting a few unexpected people here. Perhaps this is all that will make the Dubai Experience something worth remembering too...

Home April 24th-May 4th
I'm home for a week...
I've got seriously uncomfortable with driving the new car. Wasn't the perfect picture that I pictured I would be like before I drove. Not only was I trying to get used to the new car and driving at incredibly slow speed and following behind lorries and busese on the expressway, I seem to forget the road around small Singapore. I can't remember where the exits are exactly and I panicked even more when I have to park the car. Panicky me is super unglamourous..
Well...heard that office isn't doing well and basic instinct is actually telling me to start pathing another way for myself in preparation for the worse. Actually I still have a job if we moved back to Singapore, but I guess it's me who thought of moving away and learning something new. Well..I've been way way less commited to work and I think if it really happens, I'll look for a new job which I've been talking about since last June? It's almost a year now.. And a few more months to end of Aug which I've been waiting for. So just let me pass it and save a little more...
But looking on the bright side, losing my job might not be that bad. It would just become another plan that we've been talking about since months ago. To take time off and buck up on my portfolio. Now that I might loose my job because of unethical colaborations, well, the more my portfolio should be ready for a new job, and school as well.
