Been getting really bad mood swings for the past week. Must be PMS. Hate it!
The usually friendly KeY ended up really irritable, impatient and quick tempered. Sorry to those who got hit by my mood swings as a result of stepping on my toes. (Though some of them really deserved it.) Just wrong place, wrong time, wrong person la.
Maybe (for your own safety) you should avoid KeY during the end of every month. That would save you from her mood swings. Oh well, at least on the bright side, my mens came, and mood swings are OVER! Wheeeee~ So not looking forward to end of the next month. Guess I really must learn to control my mood better during this period... Sigh~
On a side note:
Zim's leaving for geneva on wed late night. Feeling a bit low as I won't be seeing him for ... 2 weeks? Been a while since we parted for so long. And I'm unhappy not just because of I'm going to miss him, also because he'll be out of the country probably enjoying himself while I'll be stuck in the shithole at work. TMD.
Can't wait to be there myself!

Nasty KeY @ work...
I admit that I'm a really spoilt kid. After all I have the luxury of having cars available for my use most of the time or someone (usually my grumpy mom or my grumbling Bro or the lovely Zim) to pick or drop me off. As a result, I'm rarely a commuter of publc transport (esp. buses...)
Decided to head to the gym today afternoon. One of the rare few days when neither cars are available, hence I've no choice but to settle for public transport. And the experience really 'made' my day...
Waited for approximately 5mins before my bus came, fully packed with school girls (to be more specific - my juniors) way to the front door. Managed to squeeze my way up though I could barely balance myself. I figured, maybe I'll scan my ezLink card after the bus moves off and after I'm sure that I won't lose my balance due to the sudden movement. Before long, I realized that the stupid bus driver actually refused to start moving until I scan my card! In fact, he stood up, pointed at me and asked me to scan my card (rather rudely too). Gosh! Was that even necessary?!. So effectively, the whole bus was waiting for me to scan my card. WTF. Was he worried that I would cheat him and hitch a free ride? I could do better than that lor. honestly, I felt really insulted. But whatever, did what he wanted else the bus would probably never start moving.
So I stood at the steps, with my hand holding the pole at the side to maintain my balance (and of course, feeling really really pissed off). And when the next stop came, he STOOD up again and told me to remove my hand and refused to open the door till I did so. TMD. I'm not stupid. I obviously know what to do when the door opens and for goodness sake, my hand wasn't even in a position where the door will trap it. Asshole. Worst of all, that added on to my embarrassment and frustration.
Thank god the crowd moved and I was finally out of the view of the bus driver. Now he can stop picking on me. Idiot. Meanwhile, I could really feel the anger and injustice bottling up inside me, screaming for an outlet for release....
Finally arrived at my stop. I was getting ready to get off when the old lady sitting in front of me (I was standing) got up and started to move towards the exit slowly. (this I can understand, as she wasn't exactly very mobile on top of her old age.) Concurrently, an old auntie (who's obviously much more mobile) behind me got up and started pushing me, trying to get me to move faster. Typical Singaporean Auntie who's kaisi and worried that she won't be able to get off. Idiot. I was fuming, On one hand, I did not want to knock into the old lady, on the other hand, I really can't stand people who push me (be it at the MRT station and on buses). And oh, not to mention that I was in a bad mood to begin with.
SO.. nasty key came to work.
I turned back, stared at the auntie and raised my voice (plus I was listening to my mp3, so I probably spoke louder than I intended) saying: 不要推了， 我也要下车！Guess that probably stunned her as I did not recall feeling her push anymore after that.
Oh well, I admit that the auntie was just an 'object' of displacement. I simply displaced my initial anger on the next thing that came along. And too bad for her, she stepped on my foot. Though the incident didn't quite appease me as much I wished it did (Jogging @ gym did, thankfully), I did feel slightly better!
Did feel a little guilty for being so harsh on that auntie. But I'll definitely say the same thing to her again, maybe softer and probably rephrase it a little. (I'll try my best la~)
Overall, the experience reinforced my negative image of public transport -especially buses. I conclude, I'll just not be lazy and walk to the train station in future.... (well, at least it's good exercise too!)

KeY's wish came true...
Yap. It's all finalized. KeY's little wish is finally coming true. (Not without a fair bit of emotional blackmail =P.. poor zim)
But anyway, budget's set aside =) and leave approved! Now I'm all set to head over to Geneva for 4 days and Zurich for another 4 days! Just needa settle my work (which isn't much to begin with) and of course do a fair amount of packing.
As usual, I'm dreading the 12 hour flight and transit. But the joy of finally being in Europe with Zim will (hopefully) be overwhelming enough to get me by the flight. Can't wait to take gorgerous pictures of cathedrals and museums (i know this doesn't sound very exciting.. but it's something I'm looking forward to!) and of course, sitting at outdoor cafes, cycling around the town and most importantly, put my really rusty deustch to use! think I better bring along my german english dictionary! (Just in case)
Anyway.. looking forward to my trip!!!!!!!!
And of course, thank you Zim for making my wish come true...(I really do appreciate it!)

Geneva...
Zim's going geneva again in Nov and I really want to tag along...
I dream of myself sitting in an outdoor cafe somewhere along the streets of geneva, slipping a cup of hot chocolate, reading a book and occassionally lifting up my head to check out the people walking past me in the streets. To simply just laze around the place, visiting museums, monuments and parks, strolling along the Geneva lake alone, waiting for Zim's work day to end before heading over to a decent restaurant and enjoy good steak accompanied by red wine. Holding his hand in the cold weather as we walk along the streets of geneva, discussing his workday and how wonderful it would be if Singapore would have the four seasons too. Window shopping in Malls and boutiques that sell goreous but sadly, unaffordable accessories.. and of course, shopping for gifts (probably in the form of chocolates) for friends and family and collegues... Just spend a week, just the two of us in a laid back country before returning back to reality...
Of course, in reality, dreams are expensive... Afterall, I only just started working... my pathetic savings can cover no more than the air ticket to Frankfurt, not to mention the transfer flight to geneva. In addition, going for this trip would set us back from our plans to go US next year.. Unless, I'm willing to eat air and drink water for the next few weeks, even months, it's gonna be financially impossible for me to pay for the whole trip (inclusion of air fare and expenditure and lodging). Spoke to Mom about it and she suggested that I could ask Dad to sponsor me. Honestly, I'm really tempted to do so. But again, I feel kinda bad, afterall, I am supposed to financially independent now. Maybe a loan from Dad might just work out.
Keeping my fingers crossed on another issue - whether I'm able to get 1 weeks' leave from work. Since I started working in the middle of the year, I'm only entitled 8 days of leave, of which I already took one. So thereotically, I could take up to 1 weeks' leave. But still, the CC operates on a shift basis and the absence of one staff would mean reduced manpower and thus, the rest having to cover up my duties. Although I seriously doubt that the CC will 'die' without me, I'm still a little concerned if my boss is willing to grant me the approval for my leave.
With so many obstacles in place, there's a high chance that my dreams ain't gonna come true this time round...
Oh well... that's life...

Top five in KeY's heart...
Yap, I'm very eng today, finally got a good break from work and no friends to go out with =P... LOL... so I decided to update my friends on what's the love(s) of KeY's life right now...
Here it goes....
Here it goes....
Number 5...
Something I cannot leave home without... KeY's ipod...
I'm a 101% music person.. I cannot imagine life without music... and of course, I absolutely hate travelling without music! Hence, I swear by my ipod! Was a X'mas present from number 1 (now you know who he is) and it's been with me throughout the past six months. when I'm slogging for my final exams, when I'm flying in the plane away from him.. at least this was what kept me company...
Was watching oprah just now (one of my sinful indulgence)... felt like she was endorsing ipod.. kept mentioning ipod here and there... Well, the main point is she was asking what songs the guests on the show were playing on their ipod.. Hee, Hm.. got me wondering.. what am I playing in MY ipod...
Actually..though I've a 30GB ipod... the amount of music I have is less than 1GB.. (sissy was complaining that I'm totally under-ultizing my ipod and insisted I swap with him so that he can do the ipod justice =P no way sista!) and the best part is... for the last 1 week.. no matter where i go... I've only 1 song on repeat mode... yes, which means.. I've been listening to the same song over and over and over again....
LOL... and the best part is.. I'm still not stick of the song.... =P

Number 4...
Latest addition into the Loo family...
Finally bought my own pair of blades... I'm sooooooo in love with her right now... (decided to use 'her' as she's afterall a womens' skates) I guess it's the sense of accomplishment that I bought them using my hard-earned money (though i seriously think i overpaid) and Of course, her gorgeous appearance and her ability to let me skate with speed...
Can't wait till my next blading session... wooo-hooo...

Number 3...
We have a love-hate relationship... Though it was love at first sight.. there were sooo many times when you pissed me off with things you can't do that other laptops can.. And of course, there are as many times you wow me over with the cute little stunts you can do that others can't... Hence, you are still number 3 in my life.. Can't imagine life without you..
*Laptop bag's a samsonite!! hee.. thanks to number 1 who bought it for me on a working trip to Indo.. That way..my apple baby can rest comfortably when I'm not using it...
A gorgeous red cover I bought in taiwan.. doesn't it just make my apple baby so chic?
Have to admit.. did spend quite a bit dolling the macbook up.. think i spent a few hundred dollars just to protect it...but honestly, each time I look at it... i'm totally convinced that the money's well spent...
I love my apple baby~

Number 2...
I was contemplating whether to put them in the first or second place... But after some thoughts..(and the possibilty that number one will sulk for a day if he ends up as number two) I decided to put my two little babies in the 2nd place...
If it's your first time seeing them, let me introduce.. They are two little PIGS. (I repeat, PIGS)... had them for 14 years.. came to me as my birthday present (well, mom forgot to buy me presents when I was 9, so before she came home from work that fateful day, she popped by watsons and paid $3.90 for one of them -ah ping. Few days later, she popped by watson again and saw one last pig left, and she decided to pay $3.90 again to buy it for me - ah pong..Guess if she had foreseen the attachment issues I have, she probably wouldn't buy them for me if she could choose again... ) Too late.. well, they came as little pigs that were bright pink in colour and even had a cute curly tail.. but after a few wash and a decade.. they are uniformly grey, and the cute curl in their tails were washed off...damn~
Definitely one of the most precious things in my life.. Can't believe life without them... Hee.. managed to catch them in action searching through Zim's pile of magic cards...
The one in green stripe is called Orson (aka Ah Ping) while the one in the brown white shirt is called Orwin (aka Ah Pong)
Believe me, I can go on and on about their personality and stuff... but to spare the readers the agony.. that's all I'm gonna brag about here... Hee.. moving on~
*Oh, and just if case you're wondering.. I'm definitely sane~*

Number 1...
Yap.. no surprises as usual... and of course, once again, formality...
But nonetheless.. he's the man behind KeY! Or rather, KeY is the erm.. woman behind him...(no chen qiwei, think straight).. Yap... been a great support (emotionally and of course, financially =P) for the past 3.5 years of my life and definitely many more years to come...
Maybe I should try to not ill-treat him so much... =P

It's finally here!
After waiting painstakingly for one whole month... it's finally here!
KeY's very first own credit card! Muahahahahahahhahhha
It's pretty exciting having my very own card finally.. at least I won't need to account to my mom each time i use my supplementary card..(the price to pay using a supplementary is havin' the need to patiently explain why you had to use the card, what you bought, why do you have to be the one to foot the bill for dinner blah blah blah... to the person who is going to get the bill, which in my case, is my mom...Definitely a process I detest) BUT! From now on, I have only to account to myself... and that totally rocks...
Presenting....
(thanks to zim who reminded me that I've to remove the serial numbers on my card.. I was so ready to just post the whole card online..LOL... stoopid key)
Anyway, no doubt I'm a little concerned about my lousy financial head... but thank god for my personal finance consultant -Mr. Zim, i've slightly more confidence that I will not overspend...
hee.. looking forward to using my UOB lady's card!!!!
