Just saw this image my elder sister emailed to me:

Evil ...

Speechless

2010-10-12T14:22:00.000+08:00

Someone in the office totally set our microwave on fire yesterday. It happened while I was out for a smoke and I came back to more smoke. Ironic as it seems, I am allergic to dust, smoke a cold air. So yesterday was a bit of an overload to my nose.

Two status updates on Facebook totally made my day, though.

A lady colleague said: 'potato brain' whereas another said: 'bimbo smells all the way!'

I never thought of it until I read all of these. Well, for one, if you don't know how to use the microwave, ask. It's embarrassing to ask, I know, when you're 20/30 (or 40) plus and you don't know how to use the damned microwave. But you save 80 over people from breathing in all these smoke. Ventilation in the office is horrible so you can imagine.

Our clothes stank of smoke. When I stepped OUT of office and took a deep breath, it's as if the smell lingered in my nostrils!

Hence, why I woke up today with this horrible headache. The left side of my face is throbbing. And sometimes the right. Sigh ... Hello, major sinus issue here. And yes, I'm bitching only because I have to suffer for others' stupidity.

Too late.

2010-09-17T02:43:00.000+08:00

Okay. I just read something which was posted almost a year ago by someone, who I assume, wrote it for me. My name was tagged, but not mentioned in the post. I'm one of the three people.

Before I continue, I miss this blog. I can never run away from Blogspot. And with my Blackberry, I can email my posts in ... I guess.

Continuing the topic above, it's too late. I've put up with your endless slashings for YEARS! And everyone asks me why! Why?

Because you're my friend, I always say.

Then I begin to doubt myself. I know you do treat me like one. I know I treat you like one. But it comes to a point where I just don't see it that way anymore. You just yell at me, when you're angry. Friends don't take anger out on another. You share your pains, anger and joy with them.

I know it's been almost a year, but I'm still bitter. I'm angry at myself for allowing people to always treat me that way. Then, they call themselves my best friend. Funny shit.

The silver lining

2009-12-28T01:22:00.000+08:00

I guess Christmas was the silver lining after all that bad luck. Because Christmas sure was fantabulous and great! Three dinners, a lunch and a birthday party from Christmas eve till boxing day!

I bet everyone thinks I should be going on a diet now. Unfortunately, no. No way in hell am I going to diet. Life's too short to force myself some suffering.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock ~

2009-12-23T13:33:00.001+08:00

Waiting for the boss and brand director to return from their meeting / presentation with client. Took the opportunity to download all kinds of Christmas Carols. Yay!

Merry Christmas, Jingle Rockers!!

Hope everyone has a fantabulous Christmas! I know I'm going to have one. Though I've had a series of bad luck starting yesterday.

My car got towed away because installments weren't paid. And my mum found a condom wrapper in my car underneath my handbrake. Sigh.

The car being towed was fine.

But I'm wondering how the condom wrapper got there! Lol ... I would've seen it but I didn't. I'm just so ignorant. No trouble there, though. I'm just very amused with myself. It's not like Mr. Lee and I have had any such activity lately (note: I'm refraining from being so blunt on my blog) so whose is it? If it is ours ... gawrsh!! How long has it been there?! Am I really that inattentive and unobservant? Shall I go with ignorant as well since I'm being a thesaurus now?

Sounds like I'm a dinosaur.

The little spot below my left eye has been jumping since two days ago and it's still jumping. I'm taking this as the sign that it's bad luck, though I don't believe much in that sort of thing. It's only suitable, heh! Mr. Lee and I are waiting to see what other bad luck is coming ... though I'm waiting for the silver lining more than the bad luck.

Christmas is coming ... God please save me!

Christmas Tree ~ oh, Christmas Tree ~

You think?

2009-12-09T00:28:00.003+08:00

I know someone. A guy. This guy, X, uses this sentence on a friend and me. I'm not sure if X has used it on my other girlfriends but I know X has used this sentence so often, I now find it annoying. The sentence runs along the lines of:

"I know you, FaerieMafiya. You're still the same as always."

Uh ... you think? I may still be the same. But always draws a different line.

I've heard this song from X dozens of times. We used to be good friends but because of unforseen circumstances, we did not speak to one another for perhaps two years. After those two years, I then decided it would be good to keep in touch once again. After all, what was in the past, was in the past.

It was good. The first part of it anyway. Now X just annoys me beyond hell (if hell were annoying, that is). Everyone knows the FaerieMafiya drinks tons of Coke. So, what's new? Nothing. Exactly!

"You're still the same, FaerieMafiya. Still drinking Coke."

When the FaerieMafiya does something out of the ordinary.

"This is not the FaerieMafiya I know ..."

My dear, there are damned a lot of things you don't know about me. There are damned a lot of things I would do that you think I wouldn't.

I hate all these talk about you knowing me so well, when in actual fact, all you know is my surface. All you know is of the things I show and tell people. Don't go talking as though you know my heart on the inside when you don't even reach near there. Don't talk as though you know exactly what I would do given a situation.

You don't know me that well. And I keep it that way.

Why, you ask?

Because once upon a time, when the FaerieMafiya was still a green faerie, you took advantage of that and betrayed her trust. Who would be so stupid to trust you a second time? You did not only do it to me. You did it to so many other people. You think your two-faced attitude is kept in the dark, where people cannot see? You think everyone thinks you're an angel?

Everyone knows what you are. We need not even mention your name when speaking ill of you and others can guess that it is you.

Yes, it is that obvious.

And no matter what, you should know I am against you in all aspects. You diss my friends, I diss you. It doesn't take much to turn you into an emo-freak. You get so worked up when my girlfriends and I back one another up and go against you when all you did was diss one of us.

X would never say such a thing to me: "Shit you, FaerieMafiya ..."

I am astonished! X is capable of fighting back ... with a girl! Perhaps I went overboard, but I don't regret it. In fact, I absolutely loved the fact that I managed to draw a response as such from X. Seeing X's true colours is truly exhilirating! Seeing X get emo ... is truly satisfying.

*smiles*

Something New and Shiny on the FaerieMafiya!

2009-12-07T14:34:00.000+08:00

The FaerieMafiya has bought a new watch!

I originally wanted a Casio A158WA-1, which Fei has. But when I went to Singwa at Section 14, I saw this little cutie with the others. And since they didn't have that model anyway, I decided to get this. It's not easy getting a watch that doesn't look oversized on my wrist. This one fits me like a beauty!

And it's so classic ... I just love my purchase!

Yay!

2009-12-02T17:41:00.000+08:00

The FaerieMafiya meets Harith Iskandar!

Had a recording today for one of our clients so I tagged along to the studio and met him there! I wanted to take a picture ... but he looked so fierce! But yay! Got what I wanted!

Home!

2009-11-30T01:12:00.000+08:00

I'm back from Port Dickson! And glad to say that I feel that I've become closer to Anne and Reen. As Reen has mentioned while at Port Dickson, we never really had a chance to talk like how we did that barbecue night. I felt it was really great.

Not to mention that I spent quality time with Mr. Lee, as well. It has been almost a year since we last had a trip together. I'm really happy I went on this trip! It was barrels of fun! It was also a very poser trip ... since the sunset by the beach was excellent, everyone was camwhoring ... hehe! Should post my poser self and Mr. Lee soon ... I guess ...

This trip felt like "FRIENDS" the TV sitcom ... but in a more "couple" way. (^_^)v

New Blog Banner

2009-11-26T14:18:00.000+08:00

I had a little free time yesterday at office so I updated my blog banner! Slightly plain and dual coloured only ... but I think this is pretty cool ^_^

I don't know what made me get into making the banner but I realised then that I got a bit too gung-ho doing the banner. Turned out better than I expected, though as I said it is pretty simple.

Very Mafiya-ish, don't you think?

All My Life

2009-11-25T16:12:00.000+08:00

Was in the car with Mr. Lee just the other day and was listening to KC & Jojo's All My Life.

I listen to Mix FM, in case you were wondering which ulu channel I'm listening to that would play an old song like that.

Then I had a thought ... I should dedicate this song to Mr. Lee. I felt he fit the description so well (except the falling in love with a stranger part and that this song was sung for a girl. Haha ...

You're all that I ever know,
When you smile all my face always seems to glow,
You turned my life around,
You picked me up when I was down ...

I like this part especially. Considering the scenario of when Mr. Lee and I began our hanky-panky. Hehe ... he picked me up when I was down and he turned my life around. I'm much happier now than I ever thought I could be in a relationship. This one year with him has been the best year in my life!

And I thank God that I ... that I finally found you ...

Yes, in cases like this ... it is God's doing and he has blessed me with wonderful family, friends ... and now Mr. Lee.

I am happy! ^^

Persistent

2009-11-23T14:58:00.008+08:00

persistent | pərˈsistənt |
adjective
1 continuing firmly or obstinately in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition : one of the government's most persistent critics.
• [ attrib. ] characterized by a specified habitual behavior pattern, esp. a dishonest or undesirable one : they accused officials of persistent discrimination.
2 continuing to exist or endure over a prolonged period : persistent rain will affect many areas.
• occurring repeatedly over a prolonged period : persistent reports of human rights abuses by the military.
• (of a chemical or radioactivity) remaining within the environment for a long time after its introduction : PCBs are persistent environmental contaminants.
3 Botany & Zoology (of a part of an animal or plant, such as a horn, leaf, etc.) remaining attached instead of falling off in the normal manner.

If I had a choice, I'd prefer to go for the third option.

People should know well enough that I'm not keen on giving out other people's number unless it's for documentation or business purposes. For your own pleasure, you shouldn't actually ask me. I won't give it.

If you want a number from me, tell me the reason why. If I see it is suitable, then I'll give it to you, more often after asking permission from the person whose number you want.

I absolutely DESPISE it when you just state "Hey, can I have xx's number ah? I need to ask him some stuff."

Uh ... so? What's the some stuff you need to ask? I'm not asking you to tell me in detail like "Oh, I need to be more knowledgeable in my sex life so I need to ask him some directions on how to enhance my dick."

And then you bug me like hell over it. Even to the extend you keep calling my handphone? If it's so urgent, state your reason first. Loser!

Counting down

2009-11-23T10:35:00.001+08:00

4 more days!

I'm counting down to my trip to Port Dickson with Mr. Lee & his friends this Friday. I'm excited!

When I told Mr. Lee about my "new" blog ... he replied, "you can't live without a blog, huh?" Then he SMS-ed me again saying "your first post was in August. How can it be new??"

It is! I just got this blog ... I just transferred the blog posts from Xanga. That wasn't very nice to use. In the end, I always come back to blogspot. Still easiest to use ...

Maybe I can't live without a blog. Maybe. I like to pen down my thoughts occasionally. I believe blogging is easier than keeping a diary ... easiest to update friends and it serves as a memory, just like photos!

After all, what can a designer like me, who loves to write rubbish and photo memories do without a blog? Hence, I blog, I tweet, I Facebook and I photograph. I sound like something produced by Apple.

iFaerieMafiya.

Now that sounds sweet. Haha!

Awake because I slept

2009-11-11T03:31:00.001+08:00

It is official!

I am absolutely, positively sure ... that I can get a headache from mere hunger. Either that, or I can cure headaches by eating. If the latter, it'll make me fat. Damn.

Came home from work, head throbbing and aching like a bitch. There was roast chicken for dinner tonight! And mum's fantastic apple salad! And I ... went to bed. To sleep and try to get rid of the headache. Stupid, because it didn't go away. Until I had my dinner at 10. Of course, mum kept chicken and potato salad and apple salad for me! <3

That's why I am awake now ... because I cannot sleep.

Overdose

2009-11-10T16:02:00.000+08:00

Been prone to getting headaches pretty often. Been having it for the past few days already. I believe it's my sinus ... but then again, taking too many flu pills is not good. Though I do realise that after taking one with a panadol does work first thing in the morning.

But ... sigh ... if I take only the panadol to get rid of the headache, it's less one pill, right?

I swear one day I will overdose on all these shit.

Sleepy blabberings

2009-11-08T03:25:00.000+08:00

Why did God decide to bless women with period?!

Sigh ... I was smart enough to take a pill before I headed to Starbucks to do some work just now. Or I would've been withering in pain. Spent most of the day at home, so it wasn't so tragic. Until I stepped out with Mr. Lee to Cold Storage at Jaya One and Digital Mall. Ugh. Yup ... was withering in pain.

I feel productive today! In comparison to the past few days at office, I was brain-dead and so uncreative thinking of designs and spent so long just to do one stupid concept. And when I headed over to Starbucks to start on something this weekend, I was blessed with creativity (lol!). No, really ... I was.

Currently stink of smoke ... Uptown 37's Starbucks has horrible ventilation! The air on the balcony gets trapped and the top floor smells of stale smoke (just like snooker centres).

Feeling sleepy ... but gotta do more work. Been playing games for the past hour and a half! Back to work ...

Depressing, much?

2009-11-07T18:56:00.000+08:00

Don't understand it. Don't feel it. Don't know it.

Reading about other people's depressing lives somehow doesn't get me feeling the way it should be felt. You know, like sympathy, or compassion. I just feel ... neutral. Maybe cause I don't know it. That's why I don't feel it. Then I don't understand it.

I love Mr. Lee!

When two Geminis partner off, it really is like four people coming together (Gemini is represented by the Twins). This relationship can never be dull, which is a good thing -- these two can get bored easily! Since they have the same need for intellectual stimulation and nearly-constant chatter, they serve very well as one another's sounding boards off which to bounce new ideas and theories. Gemini is all about freedom and variety of expression, and two Geminis together will enjoy this to the fullest. Others enjoy two Geminis as a couple as well -- they're sure to be the life of every party with their sharp wit and well-honed entertainment routine. If they can avoid competition and cooperate instead, their love relationship can be extremely happy and mutually satisfying.

The Twins love to toss back and forth tidbits of playful banter, sarcasm and occasional ironic cynicism. This is fun, to be sure, but may prevent one or both of the partners from taking the relationship seriously. In an intimate love relationship, there is certainly a place for seriousness, which Gemini would do well to learn. If both partners can pay more attention to their feelings rather than being ruled solely by thoughts and intellect, they will greatly enhance their love experience.

Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury (Communication). This couple could talk each other around in circles all night long. Mercury (or Hermes in Greek mythology) was a traveller; Gemini shares that love for variety in places and conversation topics. Be warned, two-headed Twins -- the gift of gab could be misinterpreted as gossip. Learning to use the gift of communication in a positive way is key.

Gemini is an Air Sign, and thus responds to the world and to their romantic partner with a more rational than emotional focus. Their short attention spans cause them to burn out sometimes, but two Geminis together burn out at the same time! And, of course, that Gemini creativity will dream up a new scheme a moment later.

Gemini is a Mutable Sign. Their flexible, easy-going natures make the four of them a perfect couple. These two have mastered the art of compromise; two Mutable signs together can easily form a conflict-free union. Just about the only thing that may lead to a real argument is a discussion that has gone out of hand; luckily, Gemini quickly realizes the insignificance of proving a point -- and of fighting in general.

What's the best aspect of the Gemini-Gemini relationship? The enormous amount of intellectual energy and stimulation they provide one another. They are able to save one another from leading a mundane existence. Together they can entertain the world and accomplish more than either could alone.

My best friend

2009-09-27T15:51:00.001+08:00

One month ago, I wrote my last entry. One month later, I have time cause I'm unemployed.

Duh.

But I still have nothing to blog about, except the fact that I do have my own life now and I do appreciate the friends who appreciate me.

I admit, I like to feel appreciated (who doesn't?) and I don't always make it a point to call and SMS people like I need them all the time. I only do that to Mr. Lee. Besides, what's a boyfriend for if you can't even call or SMS and bug the hell out of him anyway? Come on, I do make it a point to call people. I do! But you don't see me doing it all the time.

Why?

Because their lives don't revolve around me. I'll call once in a while, perhaps for a drink or two. If they can't, maybe the next time around.

And just because I don't call you, doesn't mean you can't call me. I have friends, I have a family. I love them both. And for a friend, I'd do my best. Especially someone close to me. If you cannot even understand that, that's just too bad. For someone who considers herself my close / best friend, and doesn't understand that, too bad.

My best friend, is someone I'll always have that bond with. Someone I'll always cherish. Someone I can share about everything and anything and I know she will not judge me based on what I do but why I do it. Someone who I can never talk bad about because there is nothing to talk bad about. Someone who is perfect, to me.

Ah well ... maybe that's why she will always be my best friend. No matter how far we are apart or how long we haven't spoken to each other, I believe she's the one person who has always understood me and has never judged me for what I do.

And for that reason, I just felt that today I should dedicate this blogpost to her. To my dearest friend, Phui Wan. Know that I'm missing you like crazy!! I cannot wait for you to come back to Malaysia to have sushi with me!

Being "creative"

2009-08-26T11:45:00.000+08:00

Borrowed a book from Aisya, about last week. Read up till the second chapter (this includes introduction, acknowledgments, blah blah blah) ... and got jealous.

Jack Foster, author of "how to get ideas" writes in his first chapter that in order to get ideas, you must have fun. Yes, fun. That doesn't mean wearing jeans and T-shirts and sneakers to office everyday. I usually get the same reaction from everyone the first time they discover what I wore to work.

"You wore THAT to WORK?!"

Yup. Was fun for a bit. Until everyone's reaction was similar. Then it was a nice change to meet friends who already knew what I always wear to work and didn't give that reaction.

Anyway, my purpose in posting is that I got jealous while reading the ending of his first chapter. The things he (Jack Foster, Creative Director at some time in some agency) and his team or department used to do is kind of cool and fun, in my opinion. I'm not getting much fun here working. They'd have department meetings in a nearby park; they'd bring in baby pictures of themselves and gave a prize to the one who got the most right in guessing who was who; voting on the cutest baby; selling or exhibiting stuff they made at home; hallway hockey using real hockey sticks and a wad of paper ... sigh ...

The list goes on. I wish I could experience the fun. At least I won't feel so bloody demotivated to work. So bloody unappreciated. Gee, thanks for the pay cut! Gee, thanks for the OT cut! Gee, thanks for forcing me to work OT! Gee, thanks for shoving everything to me.

So considerate.
