僕の誕生日 (boku no tanjobi)

it's a thing that happens every year, yes? but somehow i felt that this year's was really awesome.

for one thing, it was on a Sunday..and i got to spend it at home with my parents (though i did spend a better portion of the weekend sleeping...but never mind that hahaha)

i also had my first taste of scotch (which tastes way better than whiskey), thanks to my friend's pushy parents. all of us were given a cup of 100Plus with some scotch mixed in it. we all got tipsy and pretty sure i almost got into a car accident after we left her place to go to McD for yum cha haha

best part of the weekend was the food!!!!! bwahahahhaha such glorious food weekend! like..i had 2 of every sitiawan kid's fav: gong piang and ang jiu mee sua

yup.. XDDD

reactions to me rubbing it into my friends' faces were kinda funny though

contrary to popular belief, i do feel bad though ._.

and then there was lunch...

kekeke

i didn't take any pics of dinner though but we went to daorae :D we had kimchijeon, samgaetang, kimchi jigae and of course..samgyupsal! it was so good my vocabulary will do it no justice!

i'm not a very materialistic person..but getting presents are always nice. 

the candle smells so good i tell you!! it's like i can sniff it all day. this must be how drug addicts feel like. hahahaha

and not forgetting all the wishes i got. love you guys lots! muah muah muah muah

thank you for making this birthday an awesome one :D

last week's drama

i wrote this last week when i was really pissed but never got to post it because i eventually calmed down...but i'm gonna post it anyway ahha such a waste if i didn't

I am just so tired, so sick and tired of everything related to work, just so, so tired. I’m ready for my holiday, so ready to go out of the city with my friends, onto an island across the peninsular and just chill for 4 days. And of course, how can things go smoothly for me? Things never go smoothly for me. This is tzy we’re talking about. Something is bound to come up to ruin my excitement.

First there was a text saying that one of my cases (the one I so affectionately refer to as my bastard) will commence on the day my holiday begins. When I reasoned that I am not around, the case was rescheduled to the first day I’m back in office. Like what? Terrible much? Has it ever occurred to people that I might be tired and useless after my holiday? That I might just take one day MC or something? Of course not. It is unheard of for tzy to take a day off because her attendance record is perfect.

Then, there’s this new thing that my boss implemented. We have to put all our datelines for milestones for our cases onto a spreadsheet and adhere to it. You want me to plan something? Fine, I’ll plan it. So I planned for a case that was one week before my bastard’s, took into consideration of the bastard and my holiday and came up with a timeline which is relatively achievable. Submitted it to my superior thinking that would be it. How incredibly naïve and innocent of me to think that no further changes would be made. My superior replied with his changes and I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming. Of course he would shift the dates, of course he would make changes and of course he would shift the dates to coincide with my holiday.

Am I being punished here? Is this what I get for wanting to go on a holiday with my friends? My leave application has been approved and is up on our calendar for almost 2 months now. Do people bother checking it? Hello, people! The calendar is there for a reason. Use it for goodness sake.

she's the giggle at the funeral

insomniac

To say that I was asking for it is an understatement. I practically invited it. Honestly I saw it coming, I really did and despite my best efforts to forget about it, it still came, the paranoia, the fear, the insomnia that followed my watching of Insidious 3.

My late night shenanigans were documented on twitter where I proceeded to live tweet whatever that I was watching to help me pass time as soon as I decided that sleep was never going to come.

Before I attempted sleep, I watched one of my favourites, The Devil Wears Prada. It was good until the end when the movie ended and everything went quite again. The paranoia came back and when I turned the lights off, it got worse. After an hour of tossing and turning, I text a friend and concluded that watching some movies would be a better option than lying in the dark in fear. At least with the movies and lights on, I could at least fall asleep half way watching.

That was not the case. From my movie collection I have selected to rewatch Frozen and Mulan. After Frozen, it was already almost 5am and sleep was nowhere to be found, I decided to continue with Mulan. I think I fell asleep towards the end of the movie, after the avalanche. In about half an hour later my alarm went off and it was time to start the morning.

This was worse than that time I had the coffee cake, much worse. At least the cake didn’t scare me half to death.
