you both did your best!

Its a pity that jeneen was eliminated out of the Star search. i could see the hardwork that she managed to put in, in order to get rid of the 'ang moh' mandarin she used to speak. she's almost perfect at all genres except for acting i suppose. and the camera loves her. photogenic and gorgeous! dun give up girl, your road to fame has just started.

And also to shauna who battle out in Live the Dream. she sounded so much better after genres and genres. still, i argued that she should be in the top 2, instead of Victor tang. she's not just a pretty face, she sings like a bird. woo~
All the best, babe!

Tada!! this month window

this month, we are focusing on Smartwool. Its a fiber that can be use in shoes, sock, jackets... and it puts in warm in winter and cool in summer.

it keeps you comfortable for all-day wear. it's made from Merino sheep in NZ. soft and prevent itchness, odour-free. overall i would grade it was a smart invention. the 'little guys" in the window are acutally the icons for smartwool. so being smart, i guess they are importing those footwear out for our customers to view them. look like they are working hard. haa! this window also shows that they are engagin in an activity. so i guess it brings some human-touch with "little guys" in different positions in promoting Smartwool.

so do look out for them in our stores.

worst start for the day

it was the usual wednesday i expect. body combat in the morning, having a nice breakie at the office and the day starts.
but...

i got a sharp calling from my tooth. its not decay, cos i went to the dentist not long ago and i was in deep pain. aniwae, morning combat is a disaster. KC was late i supposed. and one thing, how can he be late for morning classes especially when literally all the ppl pull ourselves out of bed and went to his class. his excuse? "oh, you knoe its hard to say sometimes. the expressway was jam. like i go to CTE, jam! PIE jam!" i mean " are you serious? and the luck that i got to hear from class 95fm this morning, FD said that there is no traffic update. meaning? not much jam on the road rite? so this Alief went to take over for the first 3 tracks. my mood went down... (faint)

First. we were already starting 5-8 mins late. and he continue to talk and talk and tell us that he need to go in the locker and get those song tracks. i mean, go ahead lah, still need to tell us. damn felt up!! when he starts, his voice!! omigod!! doesnt seems to blend in with the music. cues was bad! and the gym gear that he wore was sloppy and unprofessional. hated it!

(cool down) sorry for commenting so much but all this need improvement. and if i am not wrong, when KC came and took over the class, he got one of his cues wrong..
"shuffle to the right, right side kick, back fist." (should be left upper cut i thought, but luckily the rest of the tracks were not bad)

the tooth is hurting me again. groan*

my throat is on fire!!

if i were in one of those deadly sins, mine would be gluttonly.

thats why i got myself rewarded for sore throat. it all started way back last tues while we were having our desert day. its brownie with ice-cream, k! i couldnt control myself. then continued with everyday choco for myself. weekend is even worst. due to pms, i indulged in sinful chocos and v.heaty stuff that i crave for so much. it's always this kind of routine. whenever i dun have cramps, i feel good but i crave for all these junk food. But whenever i am in pain, i dun feel like eating anything. well, i guess that's what balance is about.

also just got back from my revision. feel so uncomfortable with my throat again, and yet i still cant help looking at the cereals on my table. i really dun feel like eating anything and today i am going to attempt and run two rounds in my neighborhood. all for the stand. chart-10km. how am i going to run in this kind of state?

VM windows

On peddar at Takashimaya-Singapore. Their window is sort of inspired by "Jin Yong". They use catalogs to 'act' as risers to highlight their products. But i do love their heels and bags. Their catalog also uses abstract photography and some montages with their products with 'Jin Yong' artworks.
impressive!

retail therapy

aniwae, was in town to do some research on window concepts and trends thats upcoming. was feeling pretty stress due to lotsa things running thru my mind. i was acting like a spy detective snapping photos all the way. but i went to On peddar and they shoes are a ‘Wow! wow!”to me. Lurve them. Wishlist as well!! haha. intend to reward myself this year end if i manage to attain my *goal.

intepretation of dreams

the night before, i had this dream that seems so real. it was a nightmare in fact, entitled: “Resident Evil”.
I dun noe the most of you all. But me, i often make a lot of friends in the dream and sometimes when i dream of certain scenes i saw them. kinda like ‘meet-up and gather’ aniway, this dream got me so tense and brain-dead.
i was in this 100-storey building with friends i make in my dreams.. and those corpses were at the bottom of the building coming up to get us. and we all went up to the top, ‘roof’ and waited for them up there.
i was like, ‘prepare to die’ mode and lots of thoughts kept running thru my mind. in the end, i never get ‘bitten’ cos the dream ended here.

But this somehow kept me thinking that perphas it has some link towards my career. sometimes, i do think too much.

i am going away soon. to...Cambodia. i dun know whether thats good idea anot but at least get away from this island. experience different cultures, history, food, peopple and suffer some hardships, bad air, hygiene and everything thats bad

its a wonderful world

they are the nastiest- sinful devils from earth

these are macarons that i drew when i had the sudden craving for desserts. looks fake i guess. and also after the weekend i felt so tired. no motivation to work. i went to the gym on sat and bump onto my ex. VM mgr. went on to ask him what does he do besides the IG. he says that he do advance work. i was like, “what advance work? i mean i got nothing to do almost everyday.” He suggest me to do down stores. In fact, i had done that but everytime i went down. i was mortified with their displays, settings and most of all service. So the only way to get inform of cultures and trends, i went online. hope my boss doesnt mind. Cos she sits near me and i can sense that she does overlook at my com, sometimes.

Afterall, i dun go online shopping lah, thats too overboard already. i came came to work, learn something and hopefully to get myself some sense of fulfillment when a task is accomplished? sigh, maybe they dun dare to let me try yet.Over the weekend, i went to catch Resident Evil. One Word: Boring!

So ppl oiut there, dun catch it unless its a weekday.

Its a god damn amazing race

Hey hey, the amazing race is here again. and guess who i saw? Its Collin(left), gx-instructor from Cali. Bravo! And they are representing Singapore. But sadly i cant catch it. more stories please click on the link.

Help me with this..

If you have a choice would you,

1. Choose a job that you love like you dun have to work a single day. Yet get some miserable pay and work till late hours?

OR


2. Choose a job that you have some interest in. Learn something new, get a nice pay. Knock off ontime, get some pretty good privileges. Good environment and stable. But, sometimes it’s getting too bored that you might die of boredom, and i mean it.

!@#$%^&*

I am felt up.
I am not one who get my blood level up so easily. But some things at work seems to get me in a very depressed mode.Being stuck in a temp. contract position, i dun have a control over somethingsand maybe not being recognise. Maybe there’s no one here whom i can “click”.Firstly, i approached ‘the man’ to offer my help, at least i can get to interactwith them. But, i got the help through e-mail. GOsh...i was like you now, “eyesrolling” I have decided. I shall now keep my mouth shut and do whatever i am given and dun give a damn.I was telling my sis during the night before when i was about to go to bed. and all of a sudden, i am in “wake up” mode already. Its like a “After a Run” feeling.And also with the people around, i am in the “huh-duh” conversation. Like theJBJ production. No one to click, no designers, no arty farty people.
....................DID i cast a spell?Out of a sudden, i felt needed..From the man.
now, its confusing. back to work from ‘the man’
