Have a ROARING good year

Yesterday was the First Day of the Year of Tiger!

Had a "stomach bursting" reunion dinner last night, like what my grandma loves to say, must "饱年饱节"

The first day of Lunar New Year is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity and good luck for them. Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family. The second day of the Chinese New Year is for married daughters to visit their birth parents. The third and fourth day of the Chinese New Year are generally inappropriate days to visit relatives and friends.

So, my relatives came over for visiting furing the noon time, and after a heavy dinner, we headed over to River Hong Bao "春到河畔", and spent an hour there watching the lights and lantern decorations. By the time we reached home, it was already 11:30pm.

Today i just wanna sit back & relax at home.

Surprise Surprise Surprise

This year my Valentine's Day is much more unique than previous years.

Because Valentine's Day coincides with Lunar New Year this year, hence top priority will be given to the traditional festive season. Just when i least expected it, this came as a BIG surprise. There is a newspaper clip for me (for confidentiality purpose, names have been removed), a nationwide declaration of love *muAhaha*, a card and gift waiting for me in the letterbox.

Another 50 minutes to welcome in the first day of the Year of Tiger, i better go get ready.

Happy Valentine's Day! Cheers to Friendship! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Nian Nian You Yu!

Project Tranformation (E.T to Princess) Part II

Remember my previous post in October 2009?

The 4 new posters were out in January 2010, the circulation within the Organisation started only this month, and my sweet colleague LWC gave me a set of it. As promised to my lear, and my fellow good friends, I've uploaded the poster (without the Organisation Logo/Trademark).

Story behind this poster:- An appreciation gift from my customer. I'm holding a bottle of perfume, and reading a "Thank You" card. The pink shirt was sewed by my mummy.

I'm still having problem getting used to seeing myself in that poster. Pior to this, I only mentioned this to 2 colleagues in my department, so most of them didn't realised anything until they seen the posters. In fact, they should have seen it in a company event in November last year, but i guess the buffet dinner was way too tempting. The other 3 posters depicting other colleagues were superbly taken, and so much nicer than mine.

Since then i have heard plenty of remarks like "your makeup looks weird", "your mouth looks bigger", "how come other posters looked so MTV, while yours so...", "don't look like you leh", "you look older", etc.

I even have someone questioning me whether did i really do what was mentioned in the description given (which i omitted along with the Organisation logo), and gave me a distaste look while returning me the poster, after which she ignored me, and when she saw me with a bouquet of flowers, she even asked whether did i buy it for myself. (Please, do i have to?)

For those who always back stab me, or finds me an eyesore, they kept absolute silent, and pretended it's non-existence. For my supportive friends in other departments, they gave me the thumbs up when they first see it, and has been very encouraging and positively happy for me.

Like what LWC told me, opportunity was given to me because my management endorsed it, i didn't ask for the limelight. Honestly, I didn't realised this is actually a big thing, i thought everybody will be given a chance after they obtained the award (within the Organisation). All this while, my only concern is where to hide myself once the poster is out, I didn't anticipate such malice acts coming along.

However, at least one thing turns out right, I have made my mum proud of her girl.

Adhesive Bandage

Was having a bad real time ever since February started, but i finally smile and laugh today.

He has always been a great source of comfort aka my punching bag *heehee*. We rarely spend time together, but whenever I need a listening ear, he's just a phone call away. Whenever I'm sad, he finds time for me. What more can i ask from someone who never fails me.

I never spend much time nurturing our frienship, how silly of me! Wasted so much time on people who takes me for granted.

I know i am important to him, just as much as he is to me.

But I'm sorry that i always get myself into the same trouble, everytime i get hurt and start running to him with the same injury. *siGh* It's been years, when can i ever get out from that mess? But that day will come.

You know who you are. No comments from you.

Final Words

For male species, you have the right to be moody, but not wear that sullen look for more than 2 weeks.

Whether personal or not, you have no right to pass that contagious mood around. If you do not have any basic courtesy to reply my sms, not once not twice, but on many occasions, you have no right to comment that i am rude. If i am not angered by you, would you be subjected to such gesture? Yes, it was wrong of me, and i will not denied that.

Friends for so many years, since when did you stop to consider and think what is good for me? Have you ever taken care of my feelings, ever make the effort to nurture the friendship? It's only you, yourself! Selfish!

If i do not treasure you, and not concern about your bloody personal problem, would i even bother to ask?

I hate it when you choose to hide and not trash things out. What sort of a man are you? If you are angry, tell me! Sulking and ignoring only makes you a coward! While i was waiting for you during lunch time, you went out without a word, how well mannered are you to make me chew on my breakfast bread?

To hell with all those stupid techniques you learnt in classes, while you busied yourself to identify those traits, have you forgotten to look within yourself, or are you so full of yourself, or you dare not see the real you?

I have no intention to forgive this incident. We have been arguing on so many occasions, about work, about awards. Your last remark to me "I do not wish to argue with you". Do you think that you are a real gentleman by holding back your tongue?

You are invisible to me from that moment onwards.
