In Copenhagen now

Wah kao! It's damn cold here! The moment we arrived at the hotel, it's feezing cold! I think so far it's the coldest place I've ever encountered..

And we saw snow! Not on the floor lah, but when we arrived in the morning there was light snow! Haha...and my friend said it looked like dandruff flying around...OMG...what a description, come to think about it, YUCKS... LOL

Feels like just hibernate in the room cos it is simply too cold to go out. I think it's about 2 degrees celcius or so? Brrrrr...

Cold till all of us wanna curse and swear...even myself....haha..

Later going out for dinner with my friends..hope we get nice food! :)

More updates...

Haha...I'm back!

Took 2 days MC so I'm very free now. Mon rested, Tue and Wed MC, Thur off, Fri then work. SHIOK!

Shiok 个屁!

I sprained my back at work, and according to the Chinese sinseh, I bathed late at night also, so 湿气 (damp air) entered my body and caused my back to hurt... usual same old problem that I kena in uni lah...well..MC!

Still hurt a little, but much better le...perhaps I gotta wayang a bit at work...look at customers with a pathetic face and act weak, so I no need to help them with their luggage..LOL 偷懒!

Slack at home these 2 days, and it feels damn shiok and energetic to have enough rest and sleep...haha!

Ok I can feel angry eyes staring at me liao...I have times when I don't have enough sleep also mah...then still must work for more than 12 hours..

Talking about my back treatment process. It was torturous, yet shiok... machiam everything is shiok to me...haha...

I did acupuncture, 推拿和拔罐...TOGETHER in one day...
One drop of tear rolled down my eye...haha
I wanna scream in pain, but in the end I grabbed the pillow and bedside and screamed in silence...

DAMN PAIN LAH! 痛死我了!

But really felt much better after that...

And you are right Diane, many of our dear friends don't blog already, I think they are too busy, such that blogging is the last thing in their mind to do...I will be like that as well if I am busy with other stuff too...haha...bo bian...

Updates...

Finally got time to update more about my life...if not I think my readers/stalkers are going to disappear soon...LOL

Went to New Delhi (India) last Monday, and came back on Thursday. I thought I will be rotting in my room for 3 days, luckily some of my colleagues want to go out, so we managed to go to some flea market places and Taj Mahal! :D

First day of arrival we went to a shopping area called Priyas Complex...something like that, I'm not sure if I've spelt wrongly or what...

There is a cinema, a few eateries/restaurants, pub, bookshops, MacDonalds etc...but don't look like a complex at all...9 of us went together, and we split into 3 different "toot toots". haha.











Oh, and there's a cow walking around at the area..."hey my buddy!"...haha...so cute...and it just walked around nonchalantly...got attitude... :)



Then we went to another flea market place called Janpath...
There sells a lot of Punjabi suits, more of "Indian wear", books, usual clothes we wear like T-shirts, handbags, table cloth etc...many many things...and I feel that the people there, are not very friendly..

The vendors are very "hiong"..(fierce)..haha! But when you are more fierce than them, they wont disturb you anymore..

Vendor: "Hey Madam, come come!!"

I walked away, ignoring the person.

Vendor: "Hello! Hello!!!!"

Me: "NO THANK YOU!!!! (shouting out load)

Vendor: "Ok thank you madam! Welcome to India!" *Smile*

Me: Stunned....

Anyway, the books there are damn cheap. Ok really pretty cheap..

I bought these books, for less than S$60... each story book is about S$7 on average...cheap hor!



The next day we went to visit the Taj Mahal at Agra, 4 hours bus ride from Delhi.

Other than Taj, we also visited the Agra Fort and the palace area, where the family (家族) of the Taj Mahal stayed...(I forgot the surname of the Kings, :S)

















On the 11th March, it's the Holi festival of the Hindus..where the people will pour powder and water over you etc, make you very colourful...we avoided that day because we do not want to be "coloured", haha..no lah, we thought it will be very messy and chaotic, especially for girls, it can be quite dangerous...

The kids drew on the floor, including the word "HAPPY". Can imagine how happy they get... :)















Taj Mahal with my colleagues...(above)

I have not watched Slumdog Millionaire. But according to my colleagues who did, they said the scene is really very "slumdog"...the kids begging us for money...when we saw the bottle caps on the water bottles they gave us, we will be thinking if it has been glued...LOL...very funny...

Very exotic experience...

The sky is ALWAYS clear, with no or few clouds, so what we see is blue sky, green patches of grass, yellow muddy grounds/floors, black people, white people, yellow people (like us) and so on...what an interesting colour-combination.

But seriously, looking at the living conditions of the people there, we Singaporeans really should cherish what we have...our living conditions are like HEAVEN to them...

Culture shock.

In love with new songs again

This time...it's Jason Mraz!

He just came to Singapore for his live concert on Thursday...I did not go...but I'm in love with the 2 songs that's playing on my blog now! :D

Sometimes, I see the ang mohs wear till very slack, going around the world to backpack (it rhymes! LOL) I feel like joining them!! Hope I get to backpack one day..anywhere is fine, as long as I have friends with me.. :)

Loh Wei! I wanna join you for the Mexico trip! Seems so fun...too bad you're back in Toronto liao...haha...

I will be going to India-New Delhi tonight...too bad not a backpacking trip...haha...just hope I don't have spider webs growing around me..lol..if I don't get to go out..I have to rot in the room for 3 days! Time to exercise!

I've been told to slim down

Yes I'm fat...I've been told to slim down because my uniform cannot fit me well anymore. They even told me it looks like my skirt is going to burst soon...
And I was told I gotta do something about my hair, it can look unkempt. Yes "unkempt" was used. Even my watch also 被嫌弃, because the face is light pink, which is not allowed actually...

SIAN.

How motivating. How nice to hear those words. Perhaps I should start eating bread and instant noodles especially when I'm overseas, just like those people who tried to do that in order to save lots of money. In that case I can save up a lot too. :)

Ya I am fatter. SIAN. I thought building muscles could help me work better. Yes I'm not wrong, but I thought I got exercise so perhaps I eat more, and eat much richer food, and I become FAT!

And my hair! Should I maintain a short hairstyle for the rest of my working life in this line? I really wished to have long hair yet I look so ugly tying my hair up. Even my friend asked me not to leave long hair. And not to mention that I don't really look good in my short hair either, after using the spray to make it "helmet-like". *Hmpf*

I wonder if I suit this job. It took me months for me to accept the fact that I'm in this line actually. And you know what? Sometimes I have the idea that, if the economy is so bad that the company has to ask people to leave, I don't think I would feel upset about it if I were to become one of them. Yet, there are times that I thought to myself, I would not mind working for more than 2 years...

I really don't know what I want. I cried at night sometimes, panicking over what I should do after I quit the job next time. I panicked because I still do not know what I want. Even though I still have time to think about it. Perhaps I just worry too much. I just want to be simple and happy. But I also want my family to be happy. The money I earn now is good for my parents to live more comfortably...my mother kept telling me to just go ahead and do what I wanna do next time, don't worry about money..but how not to? I also have to save up, for marriage and house and retirement...as well as for my parents' retirement...it's not that they don't have money but I'm afraid it's not enough...after I quit I have to go back to entry level..come on, don't tell me to be sales person, property agent or what...it's not that I look down on these jobs, but I'm totally not interested in them..

OK enough of sudden rambling..didn't intend to talk so much wan...guess I will become a fat, grumpy and naggy old woman next time..LOL

But I don't want! I wanna age gracefully and be a 气质与智慧兼具的老女人!
