Time Out During Work

Everyone gets their equal 24 hours, but why am I working at this hour (0044 hours) ?!

I am so sleepy.


My eye bags are so horrible these days that no make up can conceal them.

Erinn used to brand her bags (those underneath her eyes) Prada or was it Gucci?

Imma brand mine Lancel because I'm not so atas and I kinda spotted something I like sometime back when I was doing some research on the company. I'm not very well versed in the bags area, unlike belle who actually remember their names.

What about your bags (eye bags), where are they from?

By the way, a friend just got back from an interview from a company bringing in some of these big brands. I really hope she gets the job as she sounded really excited over the phone. I'm excited for her too because that would mean STAFF PURCHASE and being her friend for over *starts counting* 8 years? I might be able to share some of the benefits, right? Heh, a perfect example of BIRGing.

For psycho illiterate individuals, BIRGing means Basking in Reflected Glory, illustrated in the above situation where I'm trying to associate my friend's success to myself. Those football crazy people are also perfect examples of this social identity theory. In contrast to BIRGing, CORFing is where you try to disassociate with the failures of others, the acronym stands for Cutting Of Reflected Failure.

Enough about brands and psycho talking. Looking at my bank account (Contrary to popular belief, I do check my bank account!), I would not be able to afford anything from the big brands anytime soon. By soon I mean like 5 years? *sad*

Nvm, going bazaar shopping with some nuffies tomorrow before heading over the Jaya One for the Tiger *Rwar* run, sure hope there will be some awesome stuff at the bazaar tomorrow!

Ok done, back to work!

The spotted one.

I went on a 2 day photo shooting workshop with Belle sometime back and I found this interesting picture in the whole album of 500+ pictures.

This is a spotted branch, with not much leaves.

There are also nipples on this branch and I was trying to find the most interesting way to snap it. I failed miserably.

such an uninteresting picture of this very interesting looking branch. T_T

Tried shooting some other stuff like random withered leaves.

and random little girls with big cameras.


Yup so this was how I looked attempting to shoot some interesting shots. I'm shooting with belle's camera in the picture below.

I use a Nikon and not a Canon ogay!

My Dream in the year of the Tiger

I can't believe a month has come and gone in 2010 already! I did not make any new year's resolution this year because I knew how well would I stick to it.


To comfort myself, I shall consciously remind myself that I am Chinese and technically the new year has yet to come for me. Eh speaking of which, how are you prepping yourselves for the New Year? (The Chinese one!).

I still have some time to work on some New Year's resolutions hor since I'm Chinese and all? So here's my dream in the year of the tiger.

Imma come up with a list of random little dreams I have because the actual ones would take me forever to write about.

I want perfect teeth.

I've been having some sort of teeth fetish lately. I'm really attracted to people with beautiful smile (and sexy voices) so I would love to be able to smile wide and proud with my teeth properly inline and stainless.

I want gorgeous hair.

I just got a haircut that made me look 10 (ok la prolly 5 years) years younger. I want a haircut that is absolutely fuss free yet gorgeous cos now it would be literal suicide for me if I were to walk out of the door without fixing my bangs. To illustrate what I'm saying...I kinda look like this when I wake up..

Don't like cats. Eww.

This is the problem with having bangs la, gotta maintain the length and blow dry it to make sure it's not flat. =(

Another dream would be to get a Mazda CX9.

Why Cx 9 is because of the gorgeous curves it has. Don't talk to me about the specs inside of this beauty because all I'd care about is the looks of this ride. What to do, I'm shallow like that.

The above 3 dreams of mine can be made real with cash. So I'm hoping to get some (RM 8,888 is pretty attractive leh!) from the Nuffnang Tiger Run event this weekend @ Jaya One *fingers crossed*.

Maybe I should up my chances of winning (at least best costume?) by going to the event dressed like this.


Yes? No? Uhm? Ah?

Can I continue about my dreams?

Besides wanting some tangible dreams like the ones mentioned above I also want to...

Have a stronger heart.

Cos I'm easily bruised la. I think I'm way too emo for a 22 year old. I should be out there, doing what most 22 year olds do (What do they do?), be happy, cheerful. Not emo like me.

Besides that,

I want also be more positive in embracing whatever comes my way in this life.

Taking baby steps along my way.

Going against the flow if I have to to grow more positively as a person.

Strut around the streets alone in mismatch outfits that could possible get me summoned by the fashion police.

Be more independent and strong even if I have to walk alone. Because I've no idea what's ahead of me...

but I can prep myself with more positivity yea?

ps. No photoshop here, all pictures (except for the CX 9 & ugly cat one) is trademarked kontradikcion la. Maybe I would watermark the pics when I have access to photoshop.

Changed.

've finally upgraded my blogger layout to the .XML template, which is much more user friendly! kontradikcion has never had dark themed layout so this is another change for it. (is my blog a he, she or it?)


Can anyone help me? I'm trying to reduce the opacity of the colored box underneath the blogpost title. You know the one that's on top of every single picture in my homepage?

Also, how to not make my pictures shrink to fit the template image holder in my homepage? I want the holder to display a cropped image of my pictures that don't meet the specifications of the placeholder. I don't want my landscape pictures to shrink like that la. So ugly. deng. Is there also a way to show a standard image if my posts don't have any images?

I used to be way more gung ho in figuring out how to get all these things working.

By the way, I'm have alot of CNY songs stuck in my head as a result of going out to the malls infested with CNY songs and hanging around people who wouldn't stop playing them haha.

I shall end this post abruptly with a picture of me in a bright red outfit wishing you a Happy CNY in advance.

Beep beep!

Oh my gourd I need to renovate this space.

My layout only looks good on my laptop because I designed it based on the screen resolution of my laptop.

And no, I will neverrr design a layout with textured or colored BG anymore because I can't put up seamless photoshop doodles or photos I ps.

Like the bitter gourd image up there, look at it sitting so oddly in my blog because of the white bg of the picture. The image would look awesome, seamless if i had a white bg and not a textured one.

On to something happier.

I spent one of my last few 50 dollar notes on a beanie.

Photobucket

I don't really know why but I've been wanting to get one of these for quite sometime. It's weird that spending money on silly things like these make me happy.

I'm so shallow.

I choose to be. Not to say I'm not but I would rather be shallow than not. At least I make people feel smarter about themselves when they hang around me (Not that they necessarily are also).

Example, dumb blondes are always giggling and you can see how much laughter they bring to the people around them when they do silly things...so being shallow is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just about simplifying, seeing things as they are (choosing to deliberately ignore even the most obvious of signs that require you to analyze).

Simplifying whatever goes around in your life.

My excuse for being...

just plain stupid.

and shallow.

at least I'm happy right?

Color Me Corby

I've a thing for colors.

Photobucket

For example if i were to come up with a design of any sort i will incorporate the use of colors just to make things less dull. The amount of colors i use in any of my work kinda reflects the mood i'm in.

If you've followed my dead blog for awhile you'd know how much color i highlight my words with in my posts...heh.

Photobucket

My life is a colorful one.

I eat colorful food.

I have colorful friends. (Don't mean this in any bad way)

I like wearing colorful outfits.

Too bad I can't dig more pictures to write about my exciting life.



If I had to pick a color that would be my fav of the moment. I'd go for


"Yellow!"

Photobucket

I love this color so much I use it as a form of greeting because it sounds like hello.

Photobucket

So yea this is how I normally greet people on IM these days when I'm my usual chirpy self.

I think the color yellow and I have some kinda fate.

My first ever car was a yellow car, which i nicknamed "Wong Kam Kam" (meanin yellow yellow dirty fellow in cantonese) because of the color. The color is such an attention seeking color it made me shy because it was on a Nissan Sunny.

My Fav racer back tank top with the perfect cutting happens to be in yellow. I've had that top for a year plus and it's still my fav top.

I use a yellow mug in the office.

The songs i hum most of the time

"Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree, it's been 3 long years, do you still want me?"

So If I were to choose among the four Samsung Corby colors,

Photobucket

It would be none other than yellow.

Photobucket

*distracted and starts humming*

We all live in a yellow submarine.
Yellow submarine, Yellow submarine.

I miss my once fab hair. My hair color was close to the color yellow too, now its boring black.

My Colleagues @ work

Brought my camera to work one day and just snapped around.

Sadly, my camera was low on battery and the office was quite empty so there were very little pictures snapped.

Jestina & Karen

I bug Jestina the most whenever I'm lost... and sometimes even when I'm not. She calls me camel because I (supposedly) drink alot of water but I somehow can't relate to the name yet.

Karen is my buddy buddy at work. We started about the same time and she's really fun to be around.


Rina & Nicki

It was Nicki's last day at work for her internship that day so Rina was giving her a big hug. Gonna be missing Nicki's presence but we'll meet again during movie screenings. Rina is Tim's ever reliable sexytary ( I remember Nat using this term b4 so I'm crediting her for it!).

Nuffies
For those of you reading who don't know already, I'm working at Nuffnang now and @ nuffnang, we are called nuffies.

Teddy on my desk
I use this teddy as my wrist rest. The right leg of this teddy is perfect to be used as a wrist rest.

I got bitch slapped

Not literally but verbally @ Subway Jaya33 today.

There was a young mother in her late 20s with her husband & 2 children and then there was me and my mum.

I was standing in line @ subways ordering my favourite 6" Subway Melt with parmesan oregano bun and before me there was this woman, dressed rather sloppily in a purple baby-t, mummy bermudas..and ..(were those crocs? eww). She was already at the cash register about to settle her bill and myself as well as the rest of the line was just minding our own business, placing our orders.

Then this woman. who looks like she was about to settle the bill, wanted to order more food so she kept poking her face into my direction trying to check the menu and get the waiters to take her order.

I tell you I could even feel her breath on my face because she was that close to me! and can you imagine how annoying that felt? You standing there minding your business and there is it woman moving about very (!!!) closely near your face as though she was trying to stare into your nostril or trying to count the number of blackheads on your nose.

But because I thought she had difficulty making up her mind and seeing the choices of bun listed out at the end of the queue (and i understand how it feels being a fickle minded person myself) I didn't mind her even though I thought she was very rude to intrude my space! Ignore.

*Ding*
my subway melt with turkey ham, breakfast strips and turkey breast and cheese came out of the toaster smelling pretty damn awesome.

"That's not my bun...What is that?"

That woman yelled to the waiter....

The waiter was confused of course and I could tell he wasn't really listening to her. He looked at me and I signaled to him that that was my sandwich, so he asked me what sorta veggie I want.

Just when I was about to answer "I want everything except....

That woman then, without any hesitation turned to the waiter and uttered

"Ermmm I want a Italian BMT, 6 inch yadayada I'm a b**** yadayada I take it up the a** yadayada" or something along that line.

Obviously the waiter was even more confused because his job was supposed to just place the appropriate amount of veggie on the bun - putting the dressing - wrapping the bun and not picking the bun - toasting the bun. The ordering and toasting takes place at the end of the line, this is where the sandwich gets healthier with the greens!

I was of course taken aback by this woman, so rude leh! I was talking to that poor boy and she simply ignored me like that and all the while she was still doing the blackhead counting move next to me!

Pissed off, I took a step back and moved before her in the line so she could place her order with the right person and I could have my choice of greens in me bun.

Waiter sort of signaled me to continue with my order and so I went

"Okay I would like everything except for capsicums"

And that was the moment where I kena. Left right center from this woman.

"Why did you cut my queue? Excuse me I am not even done with MY ORDER, I have 2 kids that are very hungry now how can YOU just jump the queue.....!??! Well if it makes you feel GOOD about it GO AHEAD
*signals to the waiter* Yeah Serve her first!"


I was like....*speechless* I took a step back.

"Excuse me lady that *points to my already cold bun" is my bun. You have not even decided on what you want"

"But you are so rude to just jump the line like that but if it makes you feel good GO Ahead!"

Just then my mum came and pulled me back saying

"No No nvm, serve the woman first".

I was of course ~!#!@ing mad because that %@#$@# made it seem like I was a spoilt brat for asking the waiter to place the veggie on my bun.

WTF?!

You want me to wait for you to slowly make up your mind while my sandwich is just sitting there and you want the whole subway crew to pause for you to decide whether or not you should order the Italian BMT or a new haircut isit?!?

You expect me to compromise the quality of my Subway Melt because of your fickle mindedness and your horrible sense of fashion (I just have to add this in)?! DENG! No way especially after I had to put up with your blackhead counting and your breath a few minutes before that. CIS!

And you know what she did next? She went on to say to the waiter

"Hey just deal with that girl quickly, my child is hungry"

WTF!!?

Now its my fault that you started the commotion?

Just then the owners approached us and asked what happened. The woman proceeded to blame the whole thing on me saying i cut her queue and all that la, the owner only said one thing.

Whose bun is that? * Points at my poor lil bun*

"Mine."

"Okay, you go ahead first, its okay because your sandwich is ready"

Then she asked me if I cut the woman's queue and I explained the whole situation to her. She sighed and shook her head a lil.

"Nevermind, Its okay if your bun is ready, its your turn."


*******

Damn good la.

My sandwich was so cold.

And there was capsicum in it.

Panties.

I'm feeling kinda sick of my blog's textured background right now because I can't edit my pictures in a way to blend in with the background. I want a new laptop so I can start with my picture editing again woohoo!

I miss the good old days where I use to spend hours and hours just to edit pictures and compose blog entries and making this page pretty.

Reading back some of the old entries, I realize I've gotten less personal with this blog...I used to talk about everything that was going on in my life, rarely even filtering stuff that should be kept more personal. Part of the reason why I've became this clamped up in my blog is because I wasn't really blogging for myself anymore..I was blogging in a way that would please a certain few people who would read my blog and then come back to comment about it, most of the time negatively. You know people telling you

"Why did you have to say that?"

"You should have been more ___ with that issue!"

So enough with all that bullshit and let me try give blogging another shot aye? =)

By the way I wanna thank dear tiffany & mingzi for this awesome *winks* (refer to picture) all the way from the UK

It's so comfortable and I'm loving it! *hugs*

Ok enough of em panties flashing *zips up*.

Helllooooo!

Donkey Years.

Ignore the horrible manicure please thank you.

It has been that long since I've last updated haha, I wonder who still comes by here?

I was browsing through my sd card and I have so much of stuff to share but am just to lazy to get started on it. First of all, my computer is very much still in its barely-alive-but-not-exactly-dead state, my dear uni mates would know this best as I've been complaining about this to them for years.

3 good news I'd like to share =D

1) I've got a new job (loving it! Will share more about this when I have more time)

2) I lost weight (after putting on like 7kg *stabs self* from last year, so I practically still look the same)

3) I'm positive about life! ( Hahaha!)

So thankful for all the people I have in my life, every life experience I've had be it good or bad =)

By the way
Check out the difference between my face and neck color =( I so need new foundation to not look so ghostly! *hint hint*
