The Crow As I Can See

Hi guys!! Oh my gosh, it's been ages since I've written (I mean type) anything here. Things have been so crazy since someone replaced her boss's seat hehe *winks* My workload has definitely piled up since last November and it's never-ending! When I'm trying to figure out promotions for the upcoming month, my new (and cute) assistant comes buzzing up to me talking about the latest updates on the quotations for premium gifts. And while I try to concentrate on what she's saying, the accountant intercoms me to check on whether I have the proposed order list for the next batch of XX skincare products. A minute later, there will be a call from the beauty centre whereby there's a customer who have signed numerous packages and asking for a hefty discount if she signs for another similar package. While my ear is stuck to the phone piece, there will be a knock on the glass partition and I looked up to see my always-on-the-go GM beckoning me to get to her office...and fast. And  when I'm about to leave my seat, I'll see a new email popping out on my pc from one of the many exhibition organizers enquiring on when I'm going to send to her the required forms. And all this while, my cute assistant will still be hovering nearby waiting for my feedback. Yeah...it's that CRAZY and this happens EVERYDAY. Going outstation is like bread and butter nowadays, people who know me will go "Wow! You're always travelling...it's so exciting!" and I'm like 'Dude, all I want is to just stay at home, read my chic lit novel and cuddle up with my guy' :p Hey, I like my job. It's challenging, but I hope that things will cool down soon or else I'll end up with more unwanted grey hairs and darker eye circles :p

Today was hectic as usual at the office, but I got a rare phone call from my guy (he's crazily busy like me too) that really made my day. It went something like this:

Me:What's up? (Eyes still glued to the computer screen)

Him: You know about the company annual dinner this month? Well I'm not attending.

Me: Really...why?

Him: Guess what they want me to be...that Wu Kong monkey thingy!! (Note: The annual dinner has a theme entitled 'Superheroes'. And he wanted to go either as The Joker or The Crow)

Me: WHat?! the Monkey King?!! hahaha (Eyes finally diverted from the screen and imagined him in monkey costume with a tail attached)

Him: Yeahh! they're not giving us much choice. And about the singing competition, they're like 'You must sing this song, and in Malay'...and my group mates only can sing in Chinese. In the end, most of them aren't game for it. So I was thinking, what's the point to attend if you can't have fun? So I told the bosses that I'm not attending 'cos it's the same day as my parents' wedding anniversary.

Me: Okaaayy (Note: His parents wedding anniversary was 2 months ago) Too bad..thought I could paint your face for the annual dinner.

Him: S'ok, there'll be other parties...maybe my cousins will plan one themed party soon. Aiya, Arch has dressed up as Joker before. I can go as the Crow!

Me: Okaaay, you will be the Crow.

Hahaha sometimes my guy really act like a kid and I just go along with his kiddie attitude. But it's ok 'cos as long it's main-main saja :) And he does make me de-stress with his humor and funny real-life tales, so he's a good catch *grins*

Happy 1st weekend of April you guys!!

Can't imagine him looking like this...it'll be so funny :p

I'm not wearing underwear!

Here's a funny tale (based on actual event) to reduce your Monday Blues :p

Me: Here's the shorts I've bought for you, try it on! I wanna see if it fits. (handed to him this dark-colored,not-too-flashy checkered shorts)
Him: (Took the shorts self-consciously) Okay, I'll try it later.
Me: What later?? I wanna see now lah.
Him: Okay. (Put on shorts with his baggy pants that he was currently wearing inside)
Me: Aren't you going to take off your pants first? You won't know if it fits if you wear double shorts.
Him: I can't. (sheepish face)
Me: Why not?? (Getting impatient)
Him: 'Cos I'm not wearing underwear. 
Me: (can't decide whether I should laugh out real LOUD or chide him for being so ridicuolusly malu. Like helloooo...this is me I'm talking about hahaha)


Well that's the whole story. Hope it did cheer somebody up! :D

 Don't be shy-shy lah ;)

happy 6th and many more to go!

Hapee 6 years to me and him this November!! Looking back, I guess we have matured up a notch (just a wee bit!) but we still goof around a lot and act like kids sometimes :p Sure, we do have our ups and downs (At times I would get frustrated with his forever-busy hotel career and he would get irritated with my whining of his forever-busy hotel career); but in the end, there's no point to argue in the first place 'cos it's what he does and what I do for a living. So yeah, patience and to understand the situation is really, really important in any relationship :)

Fortunately, he still has the time to bring me out for Japanese dinner...so you're forgiven, buddy :p

We had beef soup, beef wrap with golden mushrooms, agedashi tofu, chicken gyoza, squid teppan, and green tea ice-cream. Food rating 7/10 :)

Couple conversation of the Day!

Scene 1: On the way to a wedding dinner...

Him: We go home early k...before 9pm.
Me: Ok...why?
Him: Sakit perut (stomachache)

Scene 2: At the wedding dinner...(Me chatting with a friend)

Me: So what time you guys going back later?
Friend: Before 9pm.
Me: Same here! Going somewhere?
Friend: Nothing much, the boys just wanna watch football on TV.
Me: I see, that explains it.

I'm not going to bite your head off for wanting to watch football, you know. Boys! Tsk! Tsk! :p

it's raining men...and may they seep into the dark dark monsoon drains

Boyfriends can be such insensitive jerks sometimes. Like for example, my puppy of 3 months just died a terrible death and I called him to let him know my sad feelings. Naturally, you respond by being sympathetic and say soothing words like this:

Me: My puppy just died. I ran over him, I feel so guilty I’m literally crying my heart out.

Him: Oh no, that’s terrible. What happened?

Me: It was too dark and it was hard to spot him. Usually he will wait at the garage, but that time he followed the other dogs to the main gate. I drove really slow and honked a few times, but I guess he was frightened and accidentally went under the car.

Him: Poor puppy, you must be really sad. I’m so sorry about that, is there anything I can do to help? You want me to come over and talk about it?

And instead, this is what he actually said:

Me: My puppy just died. I ran over him, I feel so guilty I’m literally crying my heart out.

Him: What happened?

Me: It was too dark and it was hard to spot him. Usually he will wait at the garage, but that time he followed the other dogs to the main gate. I drove really slow and honked a few times, but I guess he was frightened and accidentally went under the car.

Him: Babe, these things happen. You can’t do anything about it now.

Me: He’s still a little pup! He’s a special breed!

Him: Yeah well, my pup got ran over too last time, and it was special. But past is the past, babe. (chuckles)

Me: You meanie! You’re not taking this seriously, are you?

Him: Of course I am. But look, what can you do? Hey, I got an incoming call now. Text you later k?

Me: Yeah, yeah ok (grumbles)

And that night he never text me back. At least send a few words of “Don’t worry too much, babe. It’ll be fine”. Stupid man. An animal may not be human, but it still has a life, it still breathes the same air as we do, and they are definitely a man’s best friend...hello!

Gawd I’m so pissed at him, all he care right now is his career, his friends, his nighlife, his beer, and his obsession with football. I may not be his priority, but he should at least act the way it’s supposed to be during certain situations, like this for instance.

Men! Boyfriends…blech!

ps - sorry guys, i'm not talking about you..just referring to this mister of mine

i'm a repeat offender

www.illustrationsof.com

That would be the exact version of me...lots of tissues in my pockets but with a less red nose :)

you know, i really need to learn my lesson. never EVER attempt to kiss your boyfriend when he's got the flu & fever symptom (now he's having dry coughs). It's the 2nd time and the disease is definitely more teruk than the last. Couldn't sleep a wink last night due to sore throat, annoying headache with a dash of insomnia (or hyperactive mind syndrome). That got me to 'terbangun' 3 times at 12am, 3am, and 5am. Finally managed to drift off to slumberland after a gulp of paracetemol (not good, i know!) and tokusen.

Thought I can managed work today so I woke up with determination and went off to work, feeling slightly dizzy driving under the heavy morning rain. Mana tau...once I sat in front of my desk, all the feelings of sleepiness and dizziness started to invade me. I could barely lift my head and kept on wandering to the ladies' blowing my nose off. "My nose banjir," that was what I told my colleagues. During lunch break, I only had the interest for homemade fish ball meehoon soup and met up with gatal who's taking the half-day off (since he still sakit). I was tempted to spend the remaining hours snuggling in my comfy bed too, but being my stubborn self, I'm like 'what the hell, it's only a few hours left.' And so I tried my best doing some work tasks for the whole afternoon. Now it's half an hour towards closing, and Mum's going to fetch me (luckily!). Right after that, I'm going straight to the clinic, then go home and hit the hays.

Gatal's going for football selection somemore later this evening...I can't even stand of doing hip tilts in my Tuesday bellydancing class.

Ughh...I hate being sick!

what goEs aRouNd coMes arouNd

Me not talking about relationships here! Remember in my previous post about me getting the red eye infection?

I think I may have passed it to my dear boyfriend! He sms-ed me earlier this afternoon and apparently he got a red eye too! I got it on my right eye and he got it on his left…kebetulan sangat ni hahaha...

Anyway, hopefully he gets better soon. Red eye contact is soooo not cool!! ;p

Can you pass the aspirin, please?

be careful what u choose from the menu...

What's one of the uncooler things your boyfriend can pass down to you? Let’s have a view at the scrumptious menu below :-

Appetizer – Fever of the Day

Main Course – Sore Throat Killer Surprise

Dessert – Nasty Coughing Fits Special

"Pure Torture for days Guaranteed"

Moral of the story? Never, under any circumstances, attempt to kiss your boyfriend (cuddly hugs included) when he’s taken the sick leave.

whAt a LauGh!!

What did the hotelier give his girlfriend of 2 years for a X’mas gift?


A mini baby blue bolster.
