I've been passing by the NSTP building every day for the last week, and almost every time I think to myself, "gosh, I wish I work there." I don't exactly know why - I don't even read NST. I guess if I passed by the Star building, I would think that too. But I don't. I don't even know where the Star building is in Penang. I know where the old one is though - it's near Phui Yee's place.

Work is... interesting. I have absolutely very little to do at this present moment (think lots of paper flipping, pondering, worrying) and yet I go home later than usual. It's because we're in the client's office, I suppose, and I can't very well tell the senior, "hey I'm off now" when they're busy doing stuff. Hm. Well. Life. Sigh.

anyway, this has just been a little rambling.

I have more Deeparaya photos coming, and Camerons photos.

Which I'm too lazy to do anything about now.

heh.

I was caught in a freak storm today.

I left the office at about 5.45 or so and as i started walking to my car, i realised it was drizzling. As I was crossing the road, it started to become heavier and when I got to the other side of the road (YAH, I take ages to cross the road, okay?) it was POURING!!!

Yeah. So I got drenched.

The silly part is when I drove off, it got less... and less... and less... and stopped. 

 

ok.. deeparaya continued...

Hm. So we went to KL, and then I went out with JC & the MGC gang to "buka puasa" at Ikea!

Hungry lot booking tables while the rest are shopping... 

With David Lim! 

The whole gang.. I think. Except cameraman, JC. We watched The Prestige after that...

And the next day we were off to Port Dickson! 

HEH. 

Operation Get The Kayak Out Of The Apartment Through The Window 

The increasingly look-alike sisters. 

Dinner. 

And Kayaking the next day. 

We're moving... we're moving... uh, we're attached to the wall -lah.

And the neighbour with the cool stuff.

And for mummy's birthday, we had:

CRABS (at Tambun) and

CAKE (courtesy of her D12) 

Ok. Tired dy.

Next: Company outing! 

excuses..

1. Monday was a no-internet day. The thing... wouldn't connect.
2. I had food poisoning. The internet started working when we unplugged the wi-fi router and used the modem directly (that sounds weird. erm....)
3. David hogged the computer until midnight after I'd already conked out...
4. and it's TODAY!

I think I had something vegetarian today, because I ordered the fish beehoon... and it tasted a bit weird, and it was DEFINITELY not fish. Although it tasted slightly fishy. Hehe. As in it had a fish taste, not that it tasted off.

Ok. I feel better now.

=)

That was stress relief. Oh, and the blasting music as well. And the freezing cold bath. Let's not go into the chips. There are days when I just. H.A.T.E. December. and Christmas. And presentations. And shows. And musicals. And kids. And acting. And singing. And kids.

Did I mention kids?

I think, when I get married and have kids, either they'll have a high mortality rate, or they'll be telling horror stories of "monster mom" or I'll be fat. Or maybe when I do have kids, all that latent motherly hormones will finally make their appearance. I hope. For their sake.

SIGH.

Yesterday, before going for the Sat night service, I was thinking to myself "maybe I won't go for Sun service tomorrow." Then I stopped. And thought harder. "Wait... I'm leading worship tomorrow."

Talk about stupidness! Hehe...

Dum dee dah... *looks around*

"Oh, how empty it looks. How desolate," she said with a pout. "I must do something!"

And then she got caught up with work, washing clothes, finding food, e-mails, OCOV drama, Joyland, KOL and Hero and forgot all about it.

I'll get some pictures up later tonight or tomorrow. Promise.

I think I've figured out what phone I want. Hehe. W810i! Haha. Dunno lah. Have to find out how much it costs first though. I was just browsing the site. =)

Did I mention that yesterday was an accident-filled day? When we were leaving the client's place, my senior behind me bumped into the "tiang" that was holding up the shade. And then another colleague in front of me scratched the wall behind her. hahaha... and me in the middle... sat there laughing.

Today, a senior of mine mentioned that I must learn hokkien, because it will ensure better client relationships.

I call it... "bullshit". 

Ok, I'm sorry, but I have to admit I'm somewhat of an "anglophile". I just grew up speaking English, loving English books, watching English movies. I used to colour all my girls with yellow hair. Right now, I prefer brunnettes to blondes, but that isn't the issue. I grew up wanting to have scones and tea (brilliant in Camerons) and liquorice (until I tried it and didn't like it).

Maybe I'm somewhat "old-fashioned" but I grew up believing that the  professional working world used English as the lingua franca. And that unless you were some tiny little china-man company in Malaysia, you used English in all your professional transactions. Okay, so now China is a major player in the economy. There are enough Mandarin-speaking people in the world. Let them speak in Mandarin for all I care. What's to say I can't just go and audit the English-speaking companies?

Ok, so I'm ranting and rambling.

But I find it stupid that she must put me down in that way for not speaking a language.

I am a Banana. And I love being one. And I don't think it will affect my job performance.

So there.

Oh no... the Nokia N71 also sounds nice...

I suppose it will all boil down to... the price... and the spur-of-the-moment decisions.

Haha.

David and I were at Gurney Plaza on Sunday for lunch, and we stopped by the guitar shop so that he could try out the two distortion pedals he was trying to decide between. So he starts trying them out, and decides that the MT2 is what he wants. And the sales guy is trying to convince him to get it... so we were just saying that he will have to save up first and bla bla bla.

Then the guy nods at me and say "ask your girlfriend to get it for you for Christmas la."

We stared at each other. And David goes, "uh... she's my sister lah."

Now, do I look young... or does he look old? Hehe!

I'm so tired.

I have things to do.

I also have to study.

I have things to think about.

I have lists of topics (based on various Bible verses and sermon notes / thoughts) that I want to write about.

But I have no time.

And I'm so tired. 

So this will pass off as a blog update.

I have pictures to upload too, before I forget.

Oh dear. 

I'm scattered.
