Back

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Last month I have a string of back and neck ache which really worries me. It went away already and I suspected that it must due to sleep instead of the office furniture. It is certainly a better chair than my previous company and we couldn’t stand it and have to bring it up to the director when he visited us.

Of course sitting posture is crucial for a healthy back. An ex colleague around my age have slip disc and it greatly affecting her life right now. :(

The Train Ride

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Having to take 4 trips of train to work everyday, I think it is a good way to observe different type of people. Mainly during peak hours, I can see many office people rushing to get to the office. 

Eavesdropping is a common thing, as everyone was cramped in a tiny compartment; so it is hard not to hear what other are talking about! The weirdest thing I saw is girl putting on makeup skilfully and man in tuxedo! But most of the time, people are just trying to sleep or read newspaper or book or playing games or just staring at their feet.  

So yeah, it isn’t really a boring ride sometimes.

Dinners

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I had a gathering with my ex-colleagues again today at Carl’s Jr; 4 girls gathering. As usual, when we met up, we chat non stop and laugh all night! We always took photos but too bad that none of us remember to bring the digital cameras.

One of the girls plan to change her job and if she moves to Cyber, I guess we wouldn’t be able to meet up as often. Hope that she is able to find a job nearby.

The Return..

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

After a year of battling acne, it started to clear off a couple of months ago. I thought that it’s gone for good, perhaps it was a bad phase where the office environment didn’t suit my skin or maybe hormones issue.

However, about a week ago, I started to notice that acne is creeping to my face again! Gosh! There’s some on my left cheek and at the hairline. Maybe it’s time to try the  Pronexin that seems to be very effective on fighting acne as recommended by a friend of mine.

Or is it the hormone changes again!?

Increased!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

For the past 3 years, I have been charging the insurance premium to my credit card; thus I do not have to worry about remembering to pay them every month. I didn’t notice the life insurance rates has since increased for two months till I checked my credit card bill yesterday!
I thought my agent would at least inform me before the increment. But seems like I need to check with her regarding the increment! :(

Topics!

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

And again, during dinner the other day we had the favorite & classic discussion topic among the ladies and even the men nowadays: how to lose the extra weight, or the not so extra weight. I don’t understand why do we have to go it again and again on the best fat burner or the best exercise. Everyone seems to have different opinions and friends that successfully did it with their special way. Probably someday I’ll be keen in this topic but for time being, how about French fashion? 

My Mails..

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Sam asked me why do I want to go back to my hometown this weekend when my parents asked me not to go back unnecessarily due to the wide spreading flu. Well, for one, I need to collect my mails. Most of the mails are still posted to my hometown address as I move frequently and it is troublesome to change the mail address.

And guess what I received on early July? Halloween invitations from some companies and friend! Some people do really plan and organize event early, aren’t they?
And I am still thinking, to go back or not..
 

Free

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Are you the type of person who loves going to trade fair or exhibition or special event even when you are not interested in the products or services that they are exhibiting?An ex-colleague of mine simply loves going to any trade fair or exhibition! And then I found out the reason why when I saw his many stainless steel mugs and stationery from different companies!

Yes, he loves collecting promotional giveaways which is given for free at the trade event! Oh gosh! I find that a little petty, especially coming from a guy.But then again, I understand that it can be fun to collect all those cute items and most of them are quite useful too. However I am just too lazy to go and spend time going around.

At anypromo website, there are a wide range of such promotional gift which is customizable to the company logo and message. The price can starts from as low as few cents which suits all budgets.There are a wide range of product categories such as bags, calendar and planners, computer accessories, desktop products, magnets, mugs, electronics, office supplies and the list goes on!I have never seen such many creative promotional items before!

My Back!

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Last Saturday, I woke up with a back pain and I thought I didn’t sleep properly. I tried to ignore it and went to find out custom headlights with my friend. But the pain got worse during the day and at night; I could hardly turned my head to the other side. But it got better the next day. However, the pain didn’t really go away for the next few days and it got worse today! 

I think if this is to continue, I would need to see a doctor. :(

Where are them?

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

The other day I was looking for the new floss that I bought last year. I remembered buying a few pieces as it was rather cheap; which explains why I have so many surplus stuff! But the thing is I couldn’t remember where I put them! I have a few storage places for the new or least used stuffs and it is quite messy!

I think it is time to do some spring cleaning and organizing before I have to buy things that I already have but couldn’t find!
