Some people can only be colleagues....

Some people can only be colleagues....

I approached a colleague regarding some sharing regarding the work in which we were partnered. I wanted to talk to her regarding the project. My main concern is that the results obtained by some clients are not up to par and I am sadden by the fact. I was yelled at because in her mind, she performed not as well as me (thought it is untrue) . All i am sadden is that the performance is not as good, all she is concerned is how hers is worse than me (supposedly).

The issue is that we cannot share feelings despite being on the same project sharing the same clients, she draws this very obvious line btw hers n mine. Worse is that it onlys happens with me. I now am know for sure that we cannot be friends, we can only be "friend-ish" on the surface n she dislikes me :)

Is it time to leave my burrow?

Is it time to leave my burrow?

There are many things that are weighing heavily on the mind.

A new addition in my life also made things very hard and it made me want to leave my current burrow.

Should I really leave my burrow or take things easy to just pass the years in this stinky burrow of mine?

It is that time of the year again =)

It is my first winter holiday!

I am usually worried about going to countries with winters because I cannot take cold temperatures well. Due to work this time round, I will have to try my best to withstand the cold and perform my duties. Beneath my worries, I am actually very excited and doing a downcount to the date. The preparation work is already a large part of the fun, I did research on whr to go on my R&R days. Now i cannot wait to go. USA here I come!

Where is my Fairy God Child?

Where is my Fairy God Child?

Why did I fall sick? cos my fairy god child was away sneaking strawberries while she should be taking care of my welfare. It is great to blame someone instead of me for getting sick.
From all the fairy tales that I was fed since young, I always imagined that there will be fairies, elves and pixies alive. As I grow up, I realise that they are not alive or around us (or maybe they are juz in hiding :P). Then I was influenced by anime such as my fair goddess and really hoped that I had some too. My take on the fairy/mini goddess. :)

A feeling of great "sianzness" also known as "emo"

A feeling of great "sianzness" also known as "emo"

Feeling rather down at the moment, there are alot of things weighing on my mind. The sad thing is that it is not only external stresses but there are some from my internal state of mind.

At this moment I simply has no mind to do work or even try to be happy. Others had been through worse than me and more. They took the stress in their stride n made the best happen. I wish i can be like that too. I must not be a failure.

I took a breather just now at cafe cartel to draw. Initially I wanted to bring out mian yang mei to console me.. but i do not know why.. when i put my mind to drawing. a bucked tooth rabbit wanted to be drawn n here it is. Maybe it is a sign that the rabbit has to be out when I am sad.

There goes:

I am back

2009-01-08T23:27:00.004+08:00

I am back

Not really in a mood to blog so much as there is alot weighing on my mind. So this is a summary of my return n my "spoils of war" from the Xue Ping!

We spent so much that we had to go back to the hotel to check how much we had left when we realised that one in our number had only 200 NT left. But needless to say we had visa.. n we had a money changer in the hotel so crisis averted :)

This is what I had been up to

2008-12-15T23:07:00.005+08:00

This is what I had been up to

Busy with work commitments, last minute fire fighting, enjoying meself and of cos preparing for my trip. I have sorta drawn up a list to help me pack in case I missed out anything.

Mian Yang supporters, The ram will be back on the 26th n give her a break till till then ya

Take care ppl, i hope i will be inspired to draw more, i am already inspired by a swimming cap vs shower cap story. n thr is also the past lives of mian yang part 2 coming up :)

The Past Lives of the Mian Yang (Part 1)

2008-12-10T23:22:00.005+08:00

The Past Lives of the Mian Yang (Part 1)

Before the evolution of Mian Yang into the current form that she is assuming now ( a fat vengeful looking person wearing a ram's skin), she used to have a few past lives in which she took on various forms that suits her best at that point of life.

I am going to resurrect two or three of them to introduce them as mian yang will not be where she is now without her past lives. First up will be Past Life No.1 from my JC era.

Introducing Past Life No. 1

A Surprise

A Nice Surprise

I had been searching for a good sketch book so that xiao mian yang can be drawn on a decent sketchbook instead of post its or random pieces of paper. I had some problems with the sketch books as the decent ones are priced exorbitantly.

Today, one of my good friends gave me a sketch book out of the blue :) and it is the kind that I wanted. It's really a pleasant surprise :)

Thus I will try to sketch out my friend, be warned, I am not good at drawing human since my JC days.

Thank You ... You know who you are *winkz*

I had the chance to collaborate on a drawing today

I had the chance to collaborate on a drawing today

Today I was invited to a friend's birthday celebration and we proceeded to a cafe for small talk after the celebrations. On the spur of the moment, I passed a paper and a piece of paper to the small artist and we started drawing together. I hope that one day in the future, I can be doing the same thing with my own daughter :) Meanwhile, I will cont to draw with the little artist.

P.S. Thanks little artist for the chocolate pack, it is the first xmas goodies i was given this year.. *winkz*

The Usual "Bootlickers" in meetings

The Usual "Bootlickers" in meetings

I had the luck to be in the long meetings without decent food (or without food at all) for the past few days so I had more time to doodle and to form impressions while the management was busy brainwashing us sheep on the NEW changes to come for a long long time till almost all zoned out.

Then speaker after speaker came on one by one and purposefully started their talks with
"like what the management said",
"as mentioned by the management"
"I agreed with what the the management said"

or give statements justifying the management point of view.

They all look like this to me......

BOOTLICKERS AHHHH..

马屁精！！！！！

What is the most important thing in a boring meeting?

What is the most important thing in a boring meeting?

I juz attended some meetings in which the meetings main foci is on indoctrination on NEW ideas, rebutts and justification on the actions taken by management. Worse still, the managment shouts through the mic when issues are raised.

Thus the only thing to look forward to is the free tea break provided. But... guess what happened? ......

I think I cant really think cos of the lack of food.. alot of ppl was miffed by the food or rather the lack of food. According to the Maslow Hierachy of needs, our basic need is not satisfied. How to fufil the other levels of thinking?

Here management, ONE Up to you..
FEED your staff well if your meetings are CRAP.
COS we can tell WHAT YOU TRYNG TO SELL.. n if we dont care A HOOT,
make sure you serve good food so we will GO to YOUR SENSELESS meetings.

For Mr Significant

Wishing you many happy returns of the day!

The Demise of my MP3 Player

2008-10-23T05:23:00.003+08:00

The premature demise of THE mp3 player

Barely one week after posting that entry about how happy I am to got a mp3 player. here

The new addition simply died.

I think I will never go for this brand of player again. According to my friends' experience, their products spoil easily.

I will have to bring my mp3 player to be recarnated one of these days.

Weary Work

2008-10-20T21:00:00.004+08:00

Work is weary and tiring

Deadlines are neber ending and always being pushed forward.

Too many committments tugging at me;

I am stuck at office alone trying to complete the work with a bear in front of me

The bear reminds me of someone.... maybe it is cos the person n the bear both have pot bellies :P

Blissful moment

2008-10-19T16:34:00.006+08:00

I love high tea.

In the midst of work, i took sometime off to pamper meself with a cake, a curry pastry n a trusty cuppa coffee. It is really blissful to "have the cake n the puff and eat them" with the rain pouring outside. Once again, I really wanna thank "Zhu sheng niang niang" for allowing me to recarnate into this life as it is really not bad. Though we have dumb things to handle, the hassles of life and the stress of work (uncountable deadlines), I am really fortunate to have enough money to feed myself and to enjoy a cuppa. Life is really sometimes what we want to make of it really.

Wishing that you "have your high tea cakes and eat ALL of them"

Cheers~

Random Thoughts

The deadline for a task is once again pushed forward.

I remember telling the bitchy rabbit that if she pass me the work so late, i will not be able to finish up the work if the heads up there decided to push the deadline earlier. The bitchy rabbit said " no worries, if they pushed, juz tell me"

In my mind, i wondered. what help will it be?

Sure enough, the high n mighty pushed the deadline to one entire day ahead.. n what did the rabbit do?

She explained the rationale of why it must be pushed forward...

argh.... to use a term which one of my favorite friend use all the time, "oh well......"

My New MP3 Player

Had alot of fun playing around with the functions as it can play videos on its teeny weeny screen.

One day, I was playing it on the way to work then i realise that I am clapping in rhythmn to the song that was blasting from the player. I realised that it is a sign of how old i really am because I do not think the younger generation will do this. (-.-")

Do you agree so?

Terribly belated

2008-10-09T21:09:00.005+08:00

Terribly belated but anyway....

Happy Mid Authum festival, this year i had a happy time with my colleagues and friends. I still miss the teochew cheapo mooncakes that my dad got for my when I was young. But this yr, i cant escape the infamous durian mooncake.. last yr i had a hard time eating them but this yr, it seems much better and more fragant (or less pungent??). I guess durian mooncake is a acquired taste. Lets hope the festival next year can be as fun as this yr :)

Meeting time is when the brain will enjoy a ramble in la-la land

Brain in La-la Land

There was a meeting in the morning. I realised that when they start, my mind will wander, my hands will get itchy and i will also get the temptation to doodle around.

Thus I am only creative when there are boring meetings.
My latest doodle - post it up first, will photoshop when i get the chance to do so .

Post it drawn during the meeting on 21-07-2008

There is this man whom i cannot stand during the meeting n in my heart, i kinda fantasize about what I can do to vent out my frustrations.

Hence, the second episode of the irritable sheep who drove her flag pole through the throat of the offending man.

Seriously it is quite fun to draw this and I didnt know that i still have my powers of drawing with me. I guess somethings you simply cannot "forget". Somehow you can simply take up a pen n draw despite not drawing for donkey years :)

Post It for a moody monday

There is a meeting early in the morning that ruined my prospects of having a happy breakfast. Consequently, I was grouchy and easily irritated. A empty stomach ruins the mood for the morning.

Thus I went to the meeting as a irritable and hungry sheep which also has a incredibly "bu shuang" look.
