| Ever had a massive, brain bursting headache? I did, at work today. It's been an utterly stressful and hectic day, I felt like I was running a marathon - Just pushing on and on, hoping for the day to end. There are so many deadlines to meet, so many emails, so many phone calls. Everything was urgent, everybody needed something from me quickly yada yada.
I hated it. I hated work today. I had too many things to do and my head, my poor head. I even wanted to quit my job today, I wanted to say 'Hey, go figure it yourself. I'm done here.' But I guess with work, you're responsible for your own work. And as reckless I feel in my head sometimes, I know that if I strive on with perseverance - It wouldn't feel so bad retrospectively.
If I had all the money in the world right now, I would buy us a beautiful house. One can always dream. So back to the daily grind, to earn my miserly keep.
Good night world. | | |
| I'm so lousy with gadgets and technology. I just want a simple phone to use, that's pretty enough - Easy peasy! I don't know about backing up, and all that jazz.
Whilst leaving the boyfriend's place today, my phone died. It just died, without warning! Prior to that, it worked seamlessly without a hitch and even woke me up from sweet slumber. Now, it's reduced to absolutely nothing. I didn't want to despair - Tho I know it costs Leonard alot of money getting it (w/o a line) - and I still have my old E61 which is in immaculate condition.
But when I got home, turned on my old phone.. Ahhh, I recalled why Leonard bought me a new phone then! My E61 is supremely laggy! It takes a good minute to send out a text message, and it's mighty frustrating! I'm now in this sad predicament where 1 phone has died (And will probably cost an indecent amount of money to fix), and the other phone is good enough to use, but still a pain.
Sigh! I hate this! I don't know what to do.. Should I even contemplate getting a new phone and break my piggy bank while I'm it? Well, I'd only know when my boyfriend touches down and I get to hear his point of view. Yes, I'm reliant on my boyfriend for decisions like this one because he makes good decisions (something I always see only in retrospect but I'm wiser now..)
On a side note, I know many of you already know this.. But I just realised why a 'qwerty' keyboard is refer to as 'qwerty'! It's the first 6 letters of any ordinary keyboard! Slow.. So slow I know.. But it was an 'ah-ha!' moment for me recently. :)
Moving on now, I don't even want to think of the pain of setting up my phone all over again.. Contacts.. Etc. :(
I've also been wanting to get an external hard disk, but I've been dragging my ass because backing up my stuff in there is going to be a pain! And I'm not good at these sorta things! Ahhh..! But of course, the duty will fall on my boyfriend's shoulders, tho I still wish I was interested in 'how things work' in general cause my life will be so much easier. Right?
We were riding up the overhead bridge at ECP the other night when my gears / chains were all out of whack and I couldn't really cycle. Leonard tried to explain 'why' it happened, 'how' I can prevent it from happening.. But I wasn't interested! I-just-want-to-cycle! So I impatiently told him, 'I don't care! I just want to cycle! Please just fix it!' It was one of my rare bratty moments. Oh how he puts up with me..

| I generally eat poorly whenever my boyfriend's away. I eat 1 1/2 meal when that happens - 1 being lunch, 1/2 being bad dinner or crisps / biscuits during the day.
It's been a hectic week at work. I know I really thrive on tight deadlines because that's what makes the work scope so dynamic. But on days when I'm so insanely busy, I take a step back and wonder 'Just what have I gotten myself into?' Yet when I get back on, plop myself into bed - I know I like what I do at work, and think, it's all about prioritizing. I can't write 5 different briefs at a time, read and reply to all my emails, while ensuring my (other) jobs are being done and submitted on time. For some reason, my phone rings alot more when I've got my nose deep in another 'urgent brief'.
Life. And such.
I'm so tired from this work week. And I'm hungry too. Sigh!

| Like I've always maintained, patience isn't a virtue of mine.
Christmas shopping has been a nightmare. I can increasingly agitated as I weave my way through the crowd. People who walk and stop without a care for the world, come on - Move to the side already! And don't push! Walk faster!
The boyfriend on the other hand, encourages me to soldier on. It's funny how when I'm losing my cool and getting very grumpy, he takes it upon himself to not be grumpy even though he's frustrated and tired himself. We can't both lose our cool (at the crowd) because it means we'll be grumpy towards each other and probably end up fighting! So he sucks it up (owww) and gives me hugs.. Just so we get stuff done.
I think that is terribly sweet because my man can be inpatient at times too. But for me, he holds it in. :)

| So by some good fortune, I scored 2 days off work and spent it so well - I feel alive, refreshed and a lil sad that it has all come to an end this soon.
As part of my surprise because 'holidays are important to me', we had brunch at Marmalade which was so yummy as always. I especially love the sticky date pudding with a generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream. We scooted over to Amara sanctuary which really made me miss my jet-setting days. I miss the plush pillows, rainshowers, bathtubs, big solid beds, fresh linens etc. I slept heaps the last 2 days. Heaps! And it felt so good.
We stumbled upon a really good, but expensive steamboat restaurant over at Sentosa. Apparently, the soup contains 68 ingredients which made it so easy on the palate.. We also went grocery shopping, took pictures by the infinity pool and basically just rested our days away..
I think we both needed a lil getaway because work has been crazy on both our sides. Now when's the next REAL holiday!?
