  • I'm leaving this behind...

    image1421883461.jpg
    Known to most people already I've made an exit to my current job and switched to something that I love.

    While packing my stuffs from the old office, I stared at these for a few days.

    In the end I still decide that I shall leave them behind.

    I shall not bring them along with my departure.

    Note: This is gonna be an emo entry. You can chose to stop reading if you don't want to. Haters, continue as you please! Isn't it your pleasure to read my emo-ness and sadness?


    The 3 pieces of Merci chocolates are from an ex close friend of mine.

    This was given to me because I said I was stressed and he gave it to me to cheer me up.

    I couldn't bear to eat them then because I haven't met him for years before that and seldom am I a fan of milk chocolate (I'm a dark chocolate lover any the way).

    So all these while I've placed them at my keyboard, reminding myself that whenever I'm stressed, there are always friends around me who are concerned about me.

    Then why am I saying it's from an ex close friend then?

    Unfortunately I had a bad fight with this friend of mine sometime ago, and we stopped contacting thereafter.

    Maybe we might still contact each other after some time, but I'm very sure the kind of friendship between us will not be the same anymore.

    I cherished this friend a lot because this person is among one of the few who knows a lot about my past, someone whom I trust a lot and confined almost everything to.

    In fact, this person knows the most things about me.

    Well, time changes everything including a person's character. I guess after all these years we've changed so much it's no longer close friends for us but only Hi-and-Bye friends.

    Each day passes smoothly for me until this week when I saw in my organizer, his handwrittings on today's date.

    He wrote down in my organizer to remind me that today is his birthday.

    We haven't contact for months.

    Honestly, I don't even know if I still wanna talk to him anymore since we're no longer close friends anyway.

    Neither do I know if I should just send him an sms to wish him happy birthday.

    Oh wells, there's still a few hours more for me to ponder before 12 midnight comes and ends 29th May.

    You know you hate me,

  • I'll make it a quickie...

    image1385748202.jpg
    As you people have already known I've started my new job on last Monday.

    I'm more or less comfortable with the new job now, getting more and more used to the noise in the morning and quietness in the office every afternoon unlike the previous job of quiet mornings and noisy afternoon.

    People here are less scheming or evil like those terribles over at my previous office. Of cos I'm not here for very long so I can't comment much on them, but generally they're MUCH better.

    Workload wise, I'm quite comfotable with the continuous incoming tasks because my job scope covers different tasks from paper work to data entry to assisting in workshops.

    Even though I'm much more busy than I ever was I've never been feeling more satisfied at my own performance at work than before.

    Okie, time for work. More updates next time.


    You know you hate me,

  • Should I Blog or Should I Vlog?

    image1614760593.jpg
    Picture taken after a jog in my gym. I swear one day they might ban me because I've been taking pictures inside the changing room lols!

    I've been thinking about this for a few weeks.

    I love blogging but at the same time, I love vlogging too.

    (Just in case you're really so IT-not-savvy, vlogging = video blogging)

    I am comfortable talking in front of the camera (even though I admit I look like some idiot talking to myself) but at the same time I love writing and typing it out.

    If you've read and follow my makeup blog you'll have noticed I've uploaded some videos (with my messy room as the background) on YouTube.

    I'm thinking of having 2 separate YouTube channels, 1 solely for all my makeup and beauty stuffs and another for my nonsense vlogging.

    Nevermind. Wait till I have a proper camcorder first. And a proper place for videoing (that is, my own house of cos!).

  • Being Meanie

    Now some of you haters are trying hard to be a meanie like me.

    You learn to dress like me.
    You practise to talk like me.
    You strive hard to slim down to earn a market value as high as me.
    (And tries to think that slimming down, wearing makeup and contact lens = higher market value.)

    HA.HA.HA.

    Look. I'm fat, I don't wear contact lens and no doubt I've lost some of my market values, you people are still far from me.

    This is like the greatest joke for the year can? You people hate me so much, then now still want to act like me? You're nothing but a lousy copycat, suckers!

    C'mon! You think being a meanie is an easy thing like peeling an apple?

    Just like being some kind hearted soul being a meanie is not easy.

    Don't believe me? Read on.

    Being meanie doesn't equals being evil.

    It's a fine line between mean and evil.
    Being mean makes you a Meanie.

    But being evil, a Devil.

    I don't declare myself a Meanie just for fun.

    I'm proud of calling myself a Meanie and I have my 8 principles to follow in life being a Meanie.

    A Meanie shall never harm anothers unless provoked
    A Meanie shall only harm the person involved, not anyone else who is innocent
    A Meanie shall irritate with words and no physical attacks
    A Meanie shall never give personal attacks involving the person's race, sexuality, gender or family
    A Meanie shall uphold their integrity and will hold themselves responsible for every actions made and words said
    A Meanie shall know when to stop if the victims is not worth any continuation of attacks
    A Meanie shall be proud of herself being a meanie but never arrogant
    A Meanie shall always be a Meanie

    Seriously, I don't understand why people would want to try to be like me.
    I guess they really forgot that no matter how hard they can try to be like me, they'll never be a Meanie like me.

    Because there's only one Candilicious Meanie, and that's ME.

    You know you hate me,

  • Last bit of everything...

     

    So I'm supposed to be hitting the gym today but instead I overslept like nobody's business even though I slept real early last night.

    Oh wells, I guess there are times when I need more sleep than usual.

    So as a form of punishment for not gymming today, I ate less.

    But of cos not at the expense of starving myself. I'm not that hardcore as much as I wanted to be.
    Me is kinda missing the habit of going to BodyJam on Sundays followed by BodyCombat.

    Starting tomorrow, it'll be the last week I'm working in my current job. Freaking near to 4 years! 3 years 10 months to be exact. Last 5 days to go~!!!
    I don't know if I should be happy leaving this shitty place, or I should be sad.
    Immediately after knowing that I'm leaving, some people's attitude had changed.

    Some already changed since last year anyway.
    Those people don't even deserve my mentioning anymore because they simply have nothing good for me to remember them. *puiz*

    Others that are sad that I'm leaving, I'm sorry but I had already mentioned that I will leave this year since ages ago. (I have to keep to my resolutions!)

    The rest of the neutral parties, stay healthy, be strong to face the challenges and continue to work hard, don't be like me having too much guts to go against what they want me to do all these while. (People who tries to go against them will only end up like me, I bet you people don't want to be like me aye?)

    I had good times and bad times working there. If not because of my previous bastardly ex-boyfriend who insisted that I should take up this job, I wouldn't have known my current boyfriend cum husband Joeness. I've seen and met many people, some still remain as friends till date. To those great friends who are still there, you have my number and do call me for meet ups over coffee or lunch or dinner k? You know I seldom reject meet ups even though I don't take the initiative to do so.

    I'm not taking any breaks in between and will be starting my new job next week. One word: EXCITED! I've already seen my new seat and office. MAD LOVE CAN!!! Not telling you people where I'll be working. I'm just so love my new job even though some people had gave me negative comments about it. Long working hours, busy manual work, a lot of shitty things to do, weekends burnt due to certain stuffs blah blah blah...

    I know very well no matter how shitty my new job is gonna be, it won't be as bad as my current one.

    You know you hate me,

  • Workout is the Best Medicine

    image1921454938.jpg
    Photo taken before attending Eve's combat class tonight.

    So I'm trying to be good and make an effort to visit the gym at least 3 times a week.

    I'm really doing what I said I want to do ok~!

    Went for Vivi's Balance on Tuesday but turns out that it was Kee Leong taking over the class and Vivi mentoring. I can't say Kee Leong is lousy because I can really sense the effort he puts in for the balance class. So even though he did made a mistake during the class I still forgive him.

    And today, Eve's combat to burn off the steamboat that I had last night. =)

    Okie I admit that because it's Eve and not JW so I kinda slack a bit. Can't help but to admit that my stamina is really not as good as the past already. Le sighz

    Maybe like Lay Theng I'm also one of those "犯賤" people who will not dare to slack if there's someone eye-ing and constantly pushing you to work harder. *LOLs*

    Anyways, as my header is saying, workout is the best medicine for the body and soul.

    Why am I saying that is because other than knowing the benefits of exercising, a good workout really helps me vent my anger without channeling it to some innocent parties (looks at Joeness).

    Sometimes when i'm really having a bad day at work I'll chose to go to the gym and have a quick jog or attend either 1.yoga class to soften the facial expression and calm my nerves down or 2.combat class to vent every single bit of anger out.

    I've heard of people telling me that using workouts to vent anger is not good. Fine. Why not ask Joeness, the one who have to face me everyday till death do us part, if he prefers me to vent my anger on exercising or elsewhere.

    I can 100% confirmed that he rather me be hitting the gym with all the combat and yoga than elsewhere.

    Reason is simple: venting my anger elsewhere would most probably means I'll be either overeating or overspending. Otherwise I would be throwing tantrums on him. Who loves to see his other half having all these PMS syndrome? (This PMS thingy doesn't apply to only girls ok! It applies to man too... =>)

    As I'm typing this on my iPhone I'm already feeling the softness of the body due to the satisfying workout and salad dinner thereafter just now.

    I'm sure it's gonna be a good night's sleep tonight because of the good workout I had today. =)

  • A Sudden Sum of Money

    image1013546470.jpg
    I'm not sure how many people have experienced something like this too.

    Many many many years back, I registered at a website that claims to pay you for doing surveys.

    At that point of time I signed up for fun and since I don't have to pay a single cent plus I love doing surveys I wouldn't care much about it.

    Since then, I'll receive emails that prompt me to complete some surveys, topics ranging from household products to Internet usage to alcohol consumables.

    I wasn't really keen on some of the surveys, but seriously it does helps to kill time sometimes when you're absolutely bored and there's nothing much you can do.

    About slightly more than a month back I login the website and I found out that the points I accumulated for doing those surveys is enough to claim for a USD $52 paycheck.

    I thought the website is joking but since there isn't much personal information required except my mailing address, I decided to cash out the money.

    I didn't really think about it until recently I received this cheque in my mailbox.
    To be honest USD$52 is not a hefty sum.

    I can say I earn more than 20 times of it a month (considering that USD$52 = SGD$72)

    But this kind of sudden fortune is enough to make me happy to blog about it.

    You know you hate me,

  • Come what May...

    image1502434158.jpg
    Seriously, I think I deserve a slap for not blogging. *slapz*

    Why? Because I already had a few entries done but I'm not publishing them yet cos of some issues.

    Anyways, I'm making this a short and sweet entry (I hope).

    There's gonna be so many things that's happening in May.

    First and foremost, I'm changing job.
    In fact, it's a career switch.

    And the funny thing is, my new office is just directly opposite of my current's. =)
    Which means I'll stil be having that same few choices for lunch. -_-"
    Yes I know you people who knows where I'm working (Orchard Area) will tell me there's a lot of choices for lunch but HELLO!!! Lunch is expensive and I don't like it.
    (I miss those days when I worked in the factory. $1.80 lunch with rice, veggies and soup! The best days I ever had...)

    New job scope is 50% fun + 50% boring but I'm sure it's gonna be better than my current 99% boiling blood + 1% dying.

    Plus it's gonna involves something that I really love! So I'm sure I'll enjoy that 50% fun so much that the 50% boring is nothing to me.

    I'm starting my countdown and I can't wait for the start in my new office! =)

    I do feel a bit sad that I'm leaving my comfy zone in that Shitty Professional company. Partly because I do have people who are really considered as true real friends and partly is cos I'm using a *minor* pay cut in exchange for a 5 day work. HORRAY now I can go Cathay gym on Saturday mornings for Haley's yoga and *maybe* accompany Ferlicia to go for Jam. Heeheez...
    (Sister ain't you happy that you got accompany for Jam on Saturdays from now on? LOLs...)

    Then another thing to be happy with will be the anniversary of my lovely bitches. Time passes so fast! We gonna call for a good celebration when the date is near.

    May also starts my going back to healthy routine month. I haven't been going back to the gym on a regular basis (which is bad) and so from this month onwards I'm gonna blog about my gym habits and also some tips on food and exercises that I personally tried and tested.

    Then comes end of May.
    Sometimes it's very weird that when you want not to remind yourself of certain things people around you will keep reminding you of it.

    I told myself that come this year, I don't want to remind myself of this date. The birthday of a friend who I used to cherish a lot.

    Then what's next? I realise a new good friend's birthday is same as this friend.

    If this is not enough, a colleague of mine (2 to be exact, the couple both worked in the same office!) is getting married on that day.

    Oh what fun. I don't want to think about it now. Things will fall into place nicely when the time comes. *smiles*

  • What's in your bag on a typical day?

    image878849918.jpg
    I know this is so random.

    But as I was packing my bag last night I suddenly thought, does the things that I thought is necessary everyday is the same like others?

    Being a BBL (big bag lover) I sometimes wonder how could some people able to go out with a tiny weeny bag or even worst, no bag.

    Of cos, there's also a group of people who insisted on carrying a small bag, but carries another paper bag to hold those stuffs that she can't pack in her small bag.

    Okie, back to topic.

    On a typical day, I'll have the following on my bag:
    -Wallet
    -Card holder holding all the membership cards and shopping cards
    -Small pouch which holds my ezlink, work pass, tissue and facial blotter
    -My iPhone and Hello Kitty phone
    -MP3 player with headphones
    -Camera
    -Hello Kitty organizer
    -Make up pouch
    -Wet tissue
    -Asthma inhaler
    -Perfume

    If you ask me what is the thing that I can't leave home without, I'll say it's my handphones.

    I stored alot of data in my iPhone and sometimes if my MP3 is out of batt I'll listen to the songs in my iPhone or watch YouTube from there. Other than than, I also tweet and blog from my phone, which is easier for me since it's mobile and I'm always on the go.

    What's in your bag on a typical day and what's that one thing you can't leave home without?

    You know you hate me,

  • Stolen PSP and Problematic Familly's Harassment

    My PSP was gone last year.
    In fact, ages ago.

    When it's lost Joeness and I thought we might have left it somewhere and hence keep searching for it.

    But apparently we can't find it at all. We searched high and low for it. Anywhere and everywhere.

    You know why we can't find.

    Because it's being STOLEN and not LOST.

    My dumbtothecore Sister in law knew who stole it but instead of informing us about this, she decided to keep mum and wrote it in her diary.

    And I only manage to find the diary recently.

    Not just about my PSP stolen is written in the diary, but some other shocking things are being state there. (I don't wish to talk about this yet. I'll blog about it when it's time.)

    So when I confronted my sister in law today, she admits that she finds the friend suspicious when she brought her over to the house the other time and saw my PSP in her house.

    Nevermind, I shall be nice and cool and not make matters worst first.
    Joeness and I together with my sister in law we went over to the friend's place to confront and guess what?

    WHAT KIND OF MOTHER BREEDS WHAT KIND OF DAUGHTER.

    The mother insisted that her daughter did not steal my PSP.
    Nevermind.
    She claims her daughters only got 1 PSP and is in RED. (Remember this cos you'll find something weird later.)
    Nevermind.
    She defends her daughter all the way saying that she's not scared even if we report this to the police.
    Nevermind.
    She claims that she's not afraid even after we told her that this is a serious matter because if it's confirmed and a report is made her daughter is going to the Girl's Home.
    Nevermind.
    She wants to bite back at us saying it's because the 2 kids (my sister in law and her daughter) has got some freud that's why my sister in law is accusing her daughter.
    Nevermind.
    She keeps calling me the mother of my sister in law despite me correcting her THREE TIMES that I'm NOT.
    Nevermind.

    So we called the police and they came.
    The mother still insisted that we accused her daughter and her PSP is RED.
    The daughter cried and keep saying she did not take our PSP.
    The mother claims she do not know my sister in law.
    Which later she says she knows a lot of her shite that she did outside.
    The daughter claims she only came to our house once.
    Which I, Joeness and my sister in law also confirmed that SHE CAME HERE MORE THAN ONCE.
    The elder daughter insisted we accused her younger sister and even gave us very fierce face.
    (As if I'm gonna be scared of people like her? Oh please... Spare me these nonsense can fat slut?)
    Which seriously, her face spells "spoilt to the core ah lian wannabe fatass slut".

    After all these nonsense, the police ask them to take out their PSP.
    WHICH THEY CLAIMS IS A RED ONE AND IS GIVEN BY THE KIDS' UNCLE.

    Guess what?
    The PSP is BLACK.

    And is EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE.
    (Why I say exactly same as mine, because who would still be playing with the original PSP nowadays? Everyone will be playing with PSP slim...)

    The police ask us to check on the PSP.
    Everything inside is already being changed (the system name, the wallpaper and etc)
    But there's one thing other than the appearance itself that is the same.

    The modification of the PSP is the same.
    When I told the police that I can't confirm the PSP is mine because we don't the box with me at the moment,
    the elder sister of the suspect was SO DEFENSIVE and shoot back, saying that we keep accusing them of stealing.
    (Tell me did I even mentioned I'm sure that's my PSP? If you didn't steal why get so work up and defensive?)

    Then, the IO (Investigation Officer) came and wants to resolve the matter quick.
    One word, they say we can't do anything to them because we don't have the warranty to confirm that's our PSP.
    Then still shoot back at why my sister in law only reveals this now when she already explained that this family is "something wrong up in their brains" and she's worried that they might come and harass us if she breathe a word.

    Oh wells, this is HOW GOOD our police is. Neverminds...

    I shall not want to comment much on the police since I don't have the box with the warranty and stuffs at that moment and they claims that we can't implicate with the modification of the PSP also. But the fact that this people is unable to produce any box or warranty and already told the police that they don't have any of those is dubious already (cos they claims it's given by their uncle and my sister in law can confirmed that this friend only mentioned about her uncle giving her the PSP after she saw my PSP in her house).
    And we got the box and everything intact.

    It's okie. I'll get the box and get to the bottom of this matter.

    Why I'm blogging is out is because I'm concerned with what their neighbours told me just now.


    THIS FAMILY IS A PROBLEMATIC ONE.

    There's been cases of them harassing the neighbour, the father hid behind the wall to scare them early in the morning.
    Dead roaches, oil, sugar, spit and rubbish being thrown outside the neighbour's doorstep.
    Even my sister in law admits that this friend of hers used to spilt the pearls in her bubble tea inside her shoe.
    The neighbour told me that she had called the police, town council, the RC and even report to the Ministry of Home Affairs previously.
    Things only got settled when she installed a CCTV outside her home.

    I'm sure that this family will try to harass and harm my family.
    Why? Because she knows exactly where we live.
    Because my sister in law (really is dumbtothecore) told her how my brother in law's car looks like.
    Because this friend of hers got my mother in law's contact and she sure will complain to her cos my another dumbtothecore mother in law trust their words.
    Because they keep staring at us when we're outside their house with the evil look that they're not gonna let us off.

    Let me first say all the nasty words.

    Should that family dares to come harass us, I'll not let them off.

    I'll show them what it means to be someone who came from complicated family background.

    I won't let them off.

    You know you hate me,

    XOXO
