Karma

I am still kind of lost in Lala Land. No news yet! Whether will I be transfer out? I am too tired to think about it or to fight for the opportunity. Let the course be natural! So long I got my salary & no resident complains on me. I am satisfied. This sound like I am “Xiong Wu Da Zhi”.

At times, I do not understand why people can bear grudges and have personal interests to towards the things they do. Why they can’t draw a boundary between work & personal grudges.

They keep emphasize issues like:

- Personal belongings that they placed at common area were stolen. It must be the cleaners have stolen it & why security not doing their job. (Shift back to HDB flat or buy land property if you have $)

- Things were still not done. It has been dragging for months. (Hello, it is just 1 month only)

- MA was lousy. Works not completed in time. (Merits that we have achieve, you totally forgotten?)

- MA treats the estate as training ground. They removed staff as & when they like. (Then my CM should leave earlier than me.)

What they really care for is their personal interests and not the welfare of the estate. They are just selfish and heartless people!

Aren’t they afraid of KARMA ???

Suay

I am rather fed up with my job. Now I am like a LALANG heading no where. I am given a hope yet going to be destroyed soon. So shitty!!!

My duty roster changed. There must be a least two staff working on sat with effect from this week. No more alternate sat off anymore. Why why why????

I am not HAPPY! My next Sat off is on 17 June 2006.

Uncertainty in life

At times, seems like certain things are beyond our control.

I might not be able to leave The Orchids.

Decision does not lies in me.

I just don't have the say.

Please don't threaten me!

Don't pushed me to the extreme!

There is a chinese saying

" Ren zhai jiang hu, shen bu you ji"

I received this perfume from Olive, my new resident. Thank you for appreciating what I have done.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am encountering a kind of weird feeling from Mr. T.

Seems like is chemistry.

Too bad wrong timing.

A CRUSH???

[E]verything

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you,the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time

How [I]ce can tighten pores & refine your skin

Ice Diving

Fill the bathroom sink with cold water & two trays of ice cubes. Pin your hair back or use a shower cap. Dip your face in to the icy water for as long as you can hold your breath. Blot almost dry, then apply your moisturizer.

Lemon Freeze

Combine stained fresh lemon juice & water to the degree of astringency you prefer. Partically fill an ice cube tray (your frozen cubes need not be more than one-half an inch thick) freeze, pop out & store in a plastic bag in the freezer. To use: lightly rub one of the icy rectangles over your face. Tissue off the excess lemon liquid, then apply your moisturizer.

2. I will soon become a poor gal after Isetan Sales.
3. 4 days 3 nights trip is short.
4. Any other alternatives than Thailand?

[L]ife

Having live on earth for 1/4 century, I have been experiencing a lot of ups & downs, laughters & tears. I can't really recalled much of the ups as compared to downs.

UP:

1. Those clubbing nights with my buddies in Devils.
2. My beloved grandma gave an ang bao on my 21st birthday.
3. EH who cooking for me in the past.
4. That tree who KP drew in my autograph book.

DOWN:

1. Crying over spilled milk for someone worthless.
2. Memories of my grandma.
3. When mummy accidentally knocked her head.
4. Drunk to make myself feel better.
5. Times when I cancelled my hoilday trip.
6. Hard up for money.
7. Being betrayed.
8. Tired of beautiful lies.

My theory:

1. Treasure your love ones specially your family.
2. Do remember family ties are most important.
3. Remember that friends are for life.
4. Relationships are just parts & puzzles in life.
5. Family are forever.
6. Say "Sorry" when you really mean it. Forget it if you think your dignity is more important.
7. Be truthful to everyone including yourself.
8. Be responsible of your words & actions.
9. Put your thoughts into actions.
10. Don't leave regrets in your life.

My Quote

To live happily & be beautiful every days till I depart this world!

Mich given her "Virgin" to me!

Mich given her "Virgin" cook to me on my birthday. I am so touched! Althought we waited for about 2 hrs for lunch, worth waiting then. She cooked a three dish meal.

1) Pumpkin croquette

2) Chicken & carrot stew

3) Pork ribs & carrot soup

This three dishes might looked simple but does not mean can cook fast. It required time, patient & effort. Most importantly, it must be delicious. And my dear Mich, she fulfiled all the criteria.

Mich, I am looking forward that you will cook AGAIN soon. Please don't wait till Dawn's birthday. That will be donkey years later...

I will upload the photos when I received it.

Natural Ingredients For Skin & Body Care

Almond: Face scrubs & masks from almonds can eliminate blemishes, blackheads & enlarged pores. Almond balms can moisturize sun-parched & flaky skin.

Apple: One of the oldest beauty aids, apples can be used as the basis of facials, hand creams, hair rinses, tonics & masks. Many germs are unable to survive in apple juice.

Apricot: Vitamin A, in which apricots are rich, is useful in facials, masks & body oils. This oil help to erase stretch marks & wrinkles. I mean fresh ones.

Avocado: Vitamins A & B, protein & natural oil, & lecithin (a protein that is good for dry & damages hair) are all found in avocados, which are ideal for nourishing cream & masks. Excellent for elbows & knee caps.

Banana: Rich in vitamin A & potassium (germs cannot survive in its presence), bananas are good for cleansing masks & hair treatments.

Bran: When it is used as a facial scrub, the minute & slightly abrasive particles of bran will penetrate deep into pores & remove specks of dirt, grease & dead skin cells.

Carrot: They are vital for healthy skin as they contain vitamin A. Carrot juice is good for the complexion, curing & preventing spots, as well as being good for the eyes & hair.

Cucumber: This is used facial masks to minimize enlarge pores & oiliness & can be used to soothe & heal sunburn.

Egg: Egg whites are astringent & gently stretch the skin, making them a useful addition to masks & creams. Egg yolks are rich in protein, which makes them invaluable in moisturizers for dry, flaky skin. Whole eggs can enrich the hair follicles, giving hair shine.

Honey: A vital ingredient of beauty preparations since ancient times. Contains high levels of vitamins, minerals & potassium (bacteria cannot survive in its presence), & it soothes, softens & nourishes, making it useful in masks , face creams & hand & body lotions.

Lemon: The acid balance of the skin is disturbed by daily washing, & lemon juice can restore that balance. Pure lemon juice has a drying action, which makes it excellent for oily skins, although people with dry skins should use it only sparingly.

Milk: Milk which is high in protein, calcium & vitamins, is absorbed quickly by the skin, leaving it soft. It is a useful ingredient in cleansing milks, face packs & scrubs & can be added to baths.

Oatflakes: The fine & gentle flakes of oat are very effective in removing dirt & grime when they are used in facial masks & scrubs, which leave the skin soft & clean.

Olive oil: As it absorbs ultraviolet rays, olive oil is effective as a screening sun-tan lotion. It can also be used to treat damaged hair, dry, flaky skin & weak nails.

Potatoes: A versatile beauty aid, potatoes can be used as a facial cleanser for normal to dry skins. Because they are gentle, they can be applied to swollen eyelids & to sunburnt skin.

Salt: A powerful cleanser, salt is most useful in dentifrices & mouthwashes. Sea salt is a tonic in the bath as well as being a good exfoliator.

Strawberry: An ideal ingredient of face masks, strawberries also have high pectin content which makes them very good tooth whiteners if they are eaten raw.

Yoghurt: The acid in yoghurt kills off harmful bacteria in the skin, making it very useful for blemish-prone skin. Yoghurt is used in face masks, scrubs & cleansers. It is also excellent as a hair conditioner or for treating a dry & scaly scalp.

1st Lesson

3 of us, Dawn, Mich & myself had our 1st swimming lesson last Fri. I do not know how to swim at all, therefore I am the weakness among the 3 of us. Please hor, I am not trying to find excuse for myself.

Dawn knows how to swim. She is learning how to stay floating in water (trap water?), so she can go Great Barrier Reef for diving.

Mich said she used to know how to swim & got swimming cert. But she forgotten how to swim. Funny right!

As for myself, I can "swim" with a surf board only.

I hate drinking chlorine water, hate to hold my breath in water & hate my make up smudge! But still I must learn since I want to switch job. I want more $$$.

Treatments for Puffy, Sore Eyes

Refresh your eyes by lying down, preferably in a quiet room, for 15 minutes with a slice of either raw potato or cucumber over each eye. Cotton wool pads soaked in iced water can be used instead. When you have had a late night or a long, hard day, relax with a couple of cooled teabags over your eyelids for 15 minutes. Tea also caused skin to tighten slightly, & this helps to reduce puffiness & to remove dark circles.

Dear dear? Darling? Dar dar? Or Dad?

I think Mr. A is 'straight'. Or could it be he is 'Zero' .

Anyway, I am not Mr. A's admirer. If not, I will sure cry...

Leaving the Orchids

Good bye...

I thought I'll be struck in Orchids for another one year or so... And I accepted the truth & fact that no human beings are perfect. Colleagues are colleagues after all. We don't talk about our personal life. The thoughts of resignation and request of transfer to other sites did flashed across my mind. But think back, to resign = foolish. Just think of my salary? Quite attractive... And I happy. To transfer = worse or better site. So I decided to stay on. Living in my own world: taking my own sweet time to finish up my works and stopped being too helpful!

Maybe that why God pity on me cos:

1) I flung my driving test again

2) I flung my interview

3) Ill-treated by my superior

4) Loney baby

Eugene, me, Khalid, Rachel & Annie

Finally, God answered to my prayers. My PM told me that one of his site staffs might resign & he will request to transfer me out of the Orchids. Sound great!

Now, the chance comes. I'll be transfer to Serenade in one month time.

I must learn to be more independent & work harder when I become a CM. I must look tough & nasty in order not being bullied by residents or contractors.

Tommorrow, I'll be going to Wing Tai with my PM for interview.

Yes! Interview again...

Fave Beauty Product[s]

This is recommended by Mich. Suitable for lazy people like me.

Idealist Micro-D is a gentle, at-home alternative to micro-dermabrasion. Delivers dramatic skin resurfacing benefits, plus deep, thermal action that warms skin to help open, purify and minimize pores.

With just one application of Idealist Micro-D, the radiant skin you want is revealed. Feel it: smooth and polished. See it: clearer, less visibly lined and virtually poreless.

A foam makeup base that is incredibly light in weight and texture to even out skin tone and texture, reduce redness and minimize the appearance of pores. Its mousse texture allows skin to breathe while mineral rich Depsea Water helps skin maintain its moisture balance. Contains a combination of exotic botanical extracts including Japanese Angelica and Officinale to protect skin against pollutants and damaging free radicals, as well as non-chemical micro-particle titanium dioxide to block UVA and UVB rays providing a sun protection of SPF 17.

Use prior to foundation to smooth makeup application. Wear alone for light, translucent coverage with UV protection to brighten skin tone and even skin texture.

By using a little amount of the foam, it enables to cover your entire face & you can use the remaining balance on your neck. What I like about this product: you need not touch up your make up throughout the day.

CHANEL TEINT CONTRÔLE COMPACT ensures a matt, powdered, luminous complexion. Specially suited to hot, humid climates, this compact foundation absorbs sebum, reduces oily secretions and minimises the appearance of pores. It ensure your complexion stays matt and your makeup remains perfect. The "soft-focus" pigments in the foundation even out your complexion and disguise imperfections, whatever the lighting: your complexion is luminous. The sun filter helps to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun (SPF20).

However, this foundation is going to dis-continuous. Chanel will be launching a newly improved range of this foundation at end of May 2006.
