i need a diet... despite the job not paying very well... long hours and all... the welfare and people have been no less than fantastic... expensive post project dinners... lunch treats from the boss... wines... cocktails... shots... beers... i think i'm sporting a huge belly... it will probably be my last day on thursday... coz they wanted me to handover over two days to the person replacing me... would probably have a shoot as well... so it'll be fun having someone to run around with me... hong kong is not yet out of the question... his mom prematurely changed HKGD for us... so we now have a reason to make that trip... like we cannot keep the money for future use... the guy seems cool with going to hong kong... but seriously... it would mean a huge dent in our pockets.. especially since he just bought that PC... school's back... and i might get to have a smashing 4day week! first time ever! ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:33 --Link to Post |

we were supposed to take a short trip to Hong Kong... was thinking $299 for 3d2n sounded good... till i got greedy and suggested 4d3n.... which came up to abt $550 including airport taxes... finally found another lobang of 5d4n with a day in shenzhen at $540... but finally we decided against it considering it will come up to about $900-$1000 per pax... especially when HKG is a chi dong xi, mai dong xi place... it didnt seem very smart to go ahead... especially since i really wanted to get a good camera before i go anywhere... and the fact that i ordered a D&G limited ed motorola v3i with our make-up artist... not sure if she'll manage to get it for me... but that is a huge chunk off my pay... the guy still wants to go somewhere though... not sure where... but it'll definitely be cheaper than HKG... bintan perhaps... langkawi... lalala.... work has slowed down.... the clients havent been responding fast enough for me to do real work... been tidying up loose ends and organizing my information and notes... so that it'll be easier for the person taking over my job... i'll miss the people... miss the work... miss the fun i have on shoots... these 3 months have been so fast... but i think i have learnt loads... especially how-to-tell-white-lies... ----Stef stopped rambling at 22:41 --Link to Post |

taught a course this weekend... enjoyed it pretty much... coz the people were nice... spent the money that i earned... on stuff i dont exactly need... oh well... in dire need of retail therapy... i've been quite a pain-the-ass of late... especially with the guy... been so stressed out at work... been nuthing but nasty to him... and only to realise 3 mins later that i've been an ass... i've decided that it is impossible for me to try for NOC... despite the fact that i got pretty excited when he told me about it.. but it would be crazy to try map my timetable into the remaining sems... and survive the last sem without my friends and especially YXY... there's always the design project as well... and that will already mean 2 sems worth of work... the guy wants to go.. and judging by his results... he will probably get it... that will mean 1 year apart... like TOTALLY... and while i long to say i am the independent, non-sticky sort... i am not... but i need a "training" like that... to prevent me from becoming even more dependent on him than i already am... it's scary to say the least... both the fact that i am sticky... and the fact that he is leaving... unless i manage to be super busy... and super filled with activities... it will be very lonely... especially with the way PGP is... probably not stay in school when he is gone... so that i can bask in the love at home... ----Stef stopped rambling at 01:26 --Link to Post |

the guy sent me home in the new van a few nights back... his dad just bought one for the company coz delivering goods with the fuel-consuming car can be quite expensive indeed.... his mom was very worried about his precious son... telling me twice before she went to bed to keep an eye on his driving... asking him to take the car instead... and as usual, he loves to go against her wishes... she was worried especially since he has always been driving the automatic car... but he said he would be fine... so for a good kilometre... we were driving with the hand brake engaged... he was desperately flooring the accelerator... wondering why the van was so bloody slow... we thought it was normal... and i thought it would take forever to get home... until we stared a little at the little red sign on the dashboard... -_-" he is a little jerky with the change of gears.... and very impatient about the acceleration... forever complaining that everyone was overtaking him... funny since he is usually quite fast with the car... quite careless too... since the big dent in his dad's prized purple car is partially caused by him... it has been fun climbing in and out of the van... the sound system's pretty good and we end up bobbing to hip hop on the ride home... Thank you for Smoking is a pretty good movie by the way... very funny... and very clever... once again reaffirming my belief that the gift of the gab is really the best gift of all... 'cause if you argue right, you can never be wrong... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:19 --Link to Post |

a few nights ago we came very close to calling it quits... i kinda sparked it all... and it just went from there... but we were both so tired we fell asleep while sms-ing... only to wake up wondering how we left off... we met up the next evening promising to talk about it... meeting for dinner... where we behaved as if nothing happened at all... naturally, because we have always been that comfortable with one another... and talked for a short while over at his place... while watching Sharapova and Cljsters in their respective matches... we agreed to try achieve middle ground... the all elusive one... he needs space... i need attention... and other less obvious contrasts in characters... i do want us to work... not because it has been 18 months... not because i dont want to be single... but everytime i think about how we actually got together... it brings a smile to my face... the FRIENDS stage... the HOLDING BACK not knowing how the other party felt... the REVELATION after many months... the HIDING from from our mutual friends not knowing how they'd react... so it's easier for him to dump me... i look back and i think... why would i want to throw it all away? coz i'll never find somebody like him not that i want to in the first place... ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:44 --Link to Post |

day out with the guy was cool... other than the fact that he was picking on my new necklace... and that he refused to wear the nice pinkish-white Mambo shirt... it was a semi double date with xy and yd... coz we had dinner and movie together... Wimbledon tennis and soccer back at his place... watched Agassi's last match... and i fell asleep during the second half of England - Portugal... only to wake up for the penalties... and to be seen sleeping like a pig by his mom... who came back from her mahjong session... Brazil lost... i is blardy sad... i stayed awake for this match la... and i think i know the answer to my question yesterday... i'll pick the guy over anything, anytime... ----Stef stopped rambling at 04:47 --Link to Post |
