Number 5

This is No.5. She She looks sleak and 'arty-farty', gives an impression of coolness, and most of all,she is different from the others! However, she is not easy to deal with. Quite picky, to be handled with care. Saw her last week,but hesitated to get to know her.After discussing with my friend, I decided to give it a pass. However, I kept thinking of her throughout the week! My heart beats fast when I think of her.I know that she will be in Suntec City Mall but unsure if she will leave. Made a final decision. I got to know her inside out today!! Was really ecstatic! It came with a price.......a sure heavy one...well..it's a commitment I have to make.....

This 'arty-farty' one costs me $240! But but..i love her!! To those of you who are like clueless as to what I am referring, well..i bought my 5th pair of spectacles today *teethy grin*. This one is so unique,definitely set apart from the rest I have. The frame has 2 colours,red and blue. My friend joked that if I wear that pair, people will think I am from the advertising or media industry,haha!! I searched almost 5-6 optical shops,but couldn't find a similar one. Thank goodness, the Great Singapore Sale is now on. So I bought it at a lower price. Last week, I was quoted $255 for the glasses (frame+lens). Today,I paid $240 for it. Tried to bargain for a much lower price but it was a 'no'. On the account that it's the only pair left and the looks, I made a commitment for it. Looks like I have to curb my expenses in June......

Song of the Month!

*drum roll* 'LONELY NO MORE"!This is my favourite song of the month. When I first heard it on radio, I did not believe that it's sung by Rob Thomas, the ex-frontman of Matchbox Twenty. It's really different from the songs that the band used to sing. Thumbs up for the single! Quite impressive and it shows a different side of Mr Thomas. Here are the lyrics *humming to the music*

"Lonely No More"
Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
Words are only words
Can you show me something else
Can you swear to me that you'll always be this way
Show me how you feel
More than ever baby
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
Now its hard for me with my heart still on the mend
Open up to me, like you do your girlfriends
And you sing to me and it's harmony
Girl, what you do to me is everything
Make me say anything; just to get you back again
Why can we just try
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my door
Is just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
What if I was good to you, what if you were good to me
What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me
What if it was paradise, what if we were symphonies
What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you
[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be lonely no more
I don't wanna have to pay for this
I don't want to know the lover at my doorI
s just another heartache on my list
I don't wanna be angry no more
You know I could never stand for this
So when you tell me that you love me know for sure
I don't want to be lonely anymore
I don't wanna be lonely anymore [x3]

Cried in office today

well,almost. I cried in the ladies today. Tears of anger and disappointment just flowed uncontrollably. Prior to that, I was 'gently told off' by my sup that I had 'been reactive AGAIN'. Note: 'Again' was emphasised. Why did he say that? Simply because of the way I reacted during the weekly huddle today. Perhaps he wasn't happy with the way I reacted to my colleague. But, come one, both of us know that it's a joke..just to add some entertainment during the huddle. Perhaps, he did not get it...because he's dense? God knows?! Anyway, I tried to fight back the tears by staring hard at the computer screen and reading the emails.....Minutes later, I stumbled emotionally and found myself tearing. I rushed to the ladies quickly and started sobbing.

I wasn't feeling sorry for myself or what. It's just that I am disappointed by my sup. I know that I am a reactive person. But hello! Give me time to change gradually ok...I am a human being..not some kind of robot that you can manipulate or change the codes! Seriously, I have been contemplating about looking for a new job. It's going to be a year since I joined my present company. Perhaps it's time to look around and find something that I have passion for.
Was reading this mth's issue of O magazine (for those clueless ones out there, O magazine=the Oprah magazine..if you are still clueless..WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!!) when I came across Dr Phil's mthly column. This mth, a reader asked about leaving a dead-end job and job searching. I absolutely agree with these words, "You need to discover what kind of job will have you charging out of the gates each morning." Apparently, my current job doesn't give me the feeling of 'charging out of the gates'. Perhaps,it's a sign that I have to move on...soon...
