My dressing....

Had lunch with Francis just now... that was nice seeing him for a while :)

The first thing he said to me when I got up the car,

" can you be anymore casual than that?"

:@ Duhz...

(NOTE: I was wearing a Burberry blouse with a white Mango pants and sharp heels)
Look, let me clarify and get this straight for everyone....

1) we are in a manufacturing company.

2) we are situated in some industrial estate,
3) Everyone in my office dresses casual. Even my boss wears a polo T on Monday, sometimes everyday. Even my big boss does that. A lot of the girls wears jeans and sandals to work.... (and I'm wearing a pair of heels and I just dun understand why he say it doesn't go... ?! I think baby's fashion sense is very traditional).
3) we have no need to meet anyone - NO one, and no customer will EVER drop by our office (the only people we do see is the auntie who cleans the toilet, the construction guys who works next door and sometimes they walk ard semi naked, the FEDEX / DHL guys who collects mails for us, postman, and some sales man that comes knocking the door... etc).
4) It's not a culture even in the company to dress very formally. Esp in the factory side, no one wears a tie everyday not even my directors or MD. If ever one day someone wears a tie to work, that person will be classified as weird. oh the only people who wears a tie is our suppliers when they come for meeting.
5) for gals, it's a norm to wear blouse and it's a norm to be without collar!!! Most of the gals blouse or tops do not have a collar anywaz...

Seriously wat does he expect me to wear? Suit and tie?!?!! haha

Shutter speed, WB, ISO...

I finally gotten down and start fiddling with my camera 2 days ago...

*Gosh* never knew it can be so difficult to understand and so much to play abt! well it's never too late to find my passion and love for it... I'm sure I can managed esp with a little of my Dad's genes in me (that is an head start already), additionally I am more inclined towards my left brain, which boost creativity bringing up some of my the artistic flare occasionally.... plus I certainly have an eye for beauty, so with such capabilities, how can i not be a good photographer huh?!

haha ... talk abt being "thick-skin". *tsk tsk*

Lesson 1: by Meng Yao (my teacher)
Adjusting of the :
- white balance
- shutter speed
- ISO
Rather excited abt trying out what I've learn... :)

Tutorial Q for me to think abt: How to create a sense of vehicle motion, but in the day?

My Ans:

Use a SLOW shutter speed, follow the subject as it moves, and then press the shutter button as you pan. The vehicle will appear sharp but background will be blur.

That is theory... now I just have to test out my practical skill.....

A long shutter speed can be set at night to record car headlights as trails.
(abt 15secs)

Something inspirational

"It takes 2 halves to make a relationship work. However, the 2 halves must be full by themselves first"

"Something worth thinking abt....Can anyone fully explain this phase?"

Just felt like a pot of roses...

Yipee it’s Friday again... ...

9 days to quarter end

It’s 9 days to quarter end….

I’m close to meeting my target for this quarter, hopefully I will continue with high orders for the coming 1.5weeks to close it well. :@ *scary*. Dun wanna have my efforts go wasted esp after pushing so hard for the past few weeks to finally be on track again.

I think I need a break badly. Just feel like going somewhere, anywhere is fine actually, just get away for a while will be relaxing. But then again, I have no where to go, and no one to go with! Haha.. My colleagues always “suan” at me saying I’m the only one (besides my boss) with vacation days but no one to take with, one of them even said she will accompany me if I’m willing to pay for her trip… wot nonsense. I might as well get a hunk if I’m paying for her… (I told her that) haha… :D

Monday is finally over… yeah! 4 days to weekend…. … :)

Wot can I say...

It’s another usual Sunday where I’ve nothing to do and nowhere to go again. Well it’s really not surprising cos I thought I should have gotten used to it by now.

You know wat what the frustrating thing is? Having a bf yet he doesn’t have time for you constantly. Knowing the fact that he’s busy with his work, so there is nothing much I can complained abt as well. This is frustrating. I have trained myself to adapt that he won't be seeing me on weekdays and now I have to even trained myself to not see him or go out with him on a Sunday.

Well I dunno, wat can I say...

ok... I'm bitching.

It’s never easy knowing what you want, but it’s always easier knowing what you do not want.

It’s him always doing what he wants to do, what he likes to eat, what he wants to watch, … which all these is perfectly fine with me. But when I do say I want to do something, or eat something, or watch something, somehow we always end up in arguments. Beats me…?

For instances like, I said I want to eat Still rd crab, he won't go cos there’s a Q. I dun often say I want to eat something in particular, it’s very rare coming from me, but even when I mentioned he won’t go. Likewise at times, I mentioned I wanna go somewhere, several times he will not want cos it is either too hot, too crowded, or abt the q-ing again. So often it’s always abt him disliking something and the stubborn him just won’t give in. I cannot stand it; it is getting on my nerves. Yet every time I tried to talk abt it, we end up quarrelling cos he thinks I’m unreasonable. Which to me, it’s perfectly normal for a gal to think like that.

He’s just so MAN that at times he don’t :
* see my point of view,
* give the attention I want as a woman,
* understand that I just needs to talk abt things to feel better, not necessary with a solution but just talk.

At times I just want : (I said at times, not always)
* To hear something (sweet) that assure me that this is the guy I can rely on when I am: (A) feeling down, (B) feeling lousy, (C) feeling naggy, (D) when I’m full of complains. (E) or when I’m in one of those mood…
* To feel pampered (not with gifts) but with lotsa loving moments.
* Wants to throw a little of my girly temper and be spoilt like a little gal by the man I love.

No one is perfect, every gal out there has a little of my everything (defines as my nonsense by him).

Yet he wants me to be always sensible and be practical. Actually I sometimes feel that he might was well married a block of wood. Come on, I’m a GIRL after all. In fact I beginning to feel I’m really condemn, and so lousy abt myself. He makes me feel very suppressed at times.

I can’t complain to him cos I dun know why he simply dun gets it and I will feel even more terrible abt it. The phobia of talking to him and he not understanding is so great that most of the time I choose to just ignore or swallow it.

Guess I’m in a real bitching mood today. I need to let of some steam at times… … no harm just me bitching...

??!?!

At times I find it extremely difficult to relate to him. There is some things that he does that I simply cannot understand and relate to. By feeling this way, it sort of frustrates me not knowing what to do to improve the situation. And when I get frustrated becos I do not know wat to do, I probe more into it and by doing so, it frustrate him.

And when I get mad abt the situation and his funny thinking, he simply ignore me and not wanting to make the situation better (a lot of times he does that). It really pisses me off when someone just ignores me.

Somehow, I dun know what’s wrong, it seems like I dun understand a lot of the things he do, why he does that and such…. *sigh*

First wife club

Had a quiet outing with the gals (Ida, Grace, Karen) @ Rochester Park – Bristro bar. Very nice and cosy ambience with no mosi…

***

I think I can just conclude the Nokia phone sucks at night taking… maybe only this model cos my previous one quality is much beta…well I’m pretty sure this model 6280 is not using Micron’s memory, that’s why… haha…

*

Anyway, we had some good talk… 4 gals and 3 of us formed the first wife club…

I so glad Karen is copying so well with her divorce. Just 4mths and she had managed to sell her house and lawyers proceeding are on the way. Talk abt speed… ! sigh… I just dunno why mine dragged that long.

She mentioned that she’s very much at peace with herself already esp after the talk she had with her husband and the china gal. She said some things she just have to see it herself to believe and to really move on.

We also talked abt straying men, how some men are just so stupid to tell their wives the whole truth. At times I wondered,

“ignorance is bliss?”

I couldn’t help but felt that it could be after all.

Well... we’re at least fortunate to say that we’re self sufficient. However despite all, we all admitted that it’s tough to be alone and we still want a companion in life after all… ... ...

A Quiet Friday

Yipppee… finally it’s Friday!

It was a quiet week at work due to my customer’s quarter end week. Hope next week would be beta.

Anyway, I’m not meet Francis tonite as he’s meeting his friend. :(

Dun wanna join him just in case he feels that I’m stalking on him… haha… So I will go home tonite for dinner, then if I’m feeling up to it will pop by at Union for a dance (with Grace and Karen). Dun think got any mood to party tonite. Going for my health check tomw morning so I’m really worried. :@ Just have to keep my fingers cross that everything is going be ok … … *scared*

How's the weather today?

Feeling restless today but with lots of work to complete so it’s just another of those days that I wanna just sit there and dream yet I’m not able to do so…

"Btw, it’s bad hair day today… just feel that my hair is everywhere but the nice
and correct place."

Got lotsa new ideas lately; thought of taking Rumba, Waltz, Photography, Bikram Yoga, Pilates, etc… the list just goes on… Francis said my interest changes faster than the weather! Well that seems like me. Told him, at least my interest in him is still there. ;p

"oh, It had been a week since I started taking bus to work!! This is certainly an achievement so far… I deserved a pat! Keep it up!"

Such a boring week, think I need to think of something to spices up my life…maybe should go partying this Friday, but then … seems like no party kaki lately. Everyone seems to have retired or too busy.

"Gotta think of something quick before my party and happening mood changes…. hahaha "

3 months probation is up ...
