T.I.R.E.D

sigh. tired of coughing.
tired of having headaches and backaches.
then again, it offers me a mini reprieve from work.
however, work will pile on.
meaning that i'll have to put in extra hours to make up for it.

=(

trying to do some work.
but my head's spinning.
sigh. thinking of all the work i have to do just overwhelms me.

sobs. and missing u doesn't help things either.

Filtered

there is so much to say, so much to blog but as i sit here in my room typing this, words just fails me. few days back, i wanted to blog so much about office politics, the injustice, about the stupid idea to merge departments and how politics at my department itself was getting back but now with the so-called-intergration, politics just worsen. i wanted to blog about a certain someone or about how i hate work (which is probably nothing new) from day 1 and it's now approximately at least 1176 days since i ve started work and unfortunately, am still stuck here. i wanted to blog about how stupid our government can be or how stupid inconsiderate drivers are on the road and i hope they all die a horrendous death.

then again, who am i kidding? what is freedom of speech? i used to blog more openly. i may not specifically mention names or specific circumstances but at least, i blogged more freely. Now, i just blog superficially and about nothing of much importance. but then again, that's life isn't it? we're all so focused on the surface, the superficial. your bosses or managers only want to see the outcome. they don't give two hoots how you get it but they just want to see results.

we have so-called-debrief meetings where we air our grievances or rather our disgruntlements but at the end of it, we all know, it's all talk and no action. we waste our time on these meetings when we know that the managers nor partners will do anything about it at all! do they even give a damn??!!

this is malaysia for crying out loud. who cares about overworked staff? who cares if you work hard and long hours and don't claim OT or any other compensation? perhaps if you had certain "kulitfication" or a certain connection, u can get away with well... maybe anything! and now, they've decided not to promote ppl who are due for June promotion. Well, that's swell news for those ppl. oh well, then again, that's the "fairness" of working life.

now, if only we will stop bitching about it and actually do something. i mean, if EVERYONE in the department actually go on strike on Monday and not work at all. I am sure that will probably lead to an outcome somehow. We can also invite the press, after all, tv3 is just next door!! then again, the phobia would be we might get fired but do u really thing that that would be the case and leave others to well, pick up our work when they're already overworked themselves??

hmmm.....

Ralph Lauren: Fashion Icon

Why He Is A Fashion Icon

---

Ralph Lauren became fascinated with style at an early age. As a boy, he worked to earn money to buy expensive suits and his love of style was rivaled only by his drive for success. Quoted in his high school yearbook as saying he hoped to become a millionaire, Lauren’s personal aspirations equipped him with a firm understanding of peoples' needs to project an air of accomplishment. So in 1967, as a young man with a vision, Ralph Lauren began selling neckties he designed himself under the Polo name. Following the release of his infamous Ralph Lauren polo shirt in 1972, Lauren became a household name almost overnight.

The fashion mogul now leads a $900 million business that includes some 300 stores in the U.S. and approximately 100 others worldwide. A chief reason behind Ralph Lauren’s success is that what he sells is far more seductive to consumers than any particular product because he sells a lifestyle, and he was one of the first designers to do so. America’s most successful fashion designer has more branches of his label under his belt than you can count. Having long moved beyond apparel, the Ralph Lauren brand has expanded to include fragrances, a home line and much, much more. In 2007, the Council of Fashion Designers of America honored Lauren with the American Fashion Legend Award: one of the most prestigious accolades in the fashion world. The embodiment of the dream he stands for, Ralph Lauren’s ability to continuously innovate while staying true to his image makes him a true style icon.
 
Dress The Lauren Way
To dress the Ralph Lauren way is to have an appetite for fine living, American-style. Rather than making one’s achievements or ambitions glaringly apparent with flashy apparel, a Ralph Lauren enthusiast opts for elegant, easy-to-wear pieces in luxurious materials like wool, silk and cashmere. He also has a closet full of timeless, impeccably tailored basics that exude good taste and can be mixed and matched for a variety of uncomplicated yet polished ensembles. Examples include suits, smart blazers, V-neck sweaters, neat polo shirts, and crisp dress shirts. However, don’t worry that you’ll have to spend a fortune to dress this way. In fact, this brand strives to encompass all price points and, therefore, it's accessible to everyone. The message is clear: Buy the best you can afford and keep it classic, not trendy. But because it’s boring to keep wearing the same staples over and over, style icon Ralph Lauren has two strategies to help keep your look fresh: The first is that only one trendy item should be worn at a time and it should be paired with your standbys. For example, if you’d like to try wearing a bright hue, buy one boldly colored polo and ensure everything else you’re wearing has a simple shape and a subdued palette. Second, if you’re interested in trying out a popular new style, search for an approximation to a classic - like this Rugby Wool Shawl Cardigan with rugby-inspired cuffs - so it won’t quickly become dated. 

One last point: The Ralph Lauren lifestyle is an active one, so steer clear of apparel and accessories that look nice, but are impractical.

A friend

i ve become someone i never saw myself to be.

lies become truths.

white and back blurs to grey.

i can't believe u replied me. i hope and yet i daren't hope.

hope that maybe things will change. that perhaps, u'll make up for those lost years.

i can't believe u remembered those years...

smashing lights, u breaking ur tooth. childlike escapades.

i thought u had forgotten them. that i didn't matter anymore.

after all, i was ur past.

do you remember after watching a bruce lee movie, we said we'll play imaginary boxing without actually punching (touching) each other but i accidentally punched u n u bled?

do u remember how u'll imitate movie characters n my mum will retell it to others?

or how we will write the names of our "puppy love" on a piece of paper and swap papers?

do u remember how u tore my bro's RM5 note cos u were pissed over sth?

or how he hid ur wallet or was it u, hiding his?

do you remember how we would play in the rain?

or make paper boats n run out in the rain to the big drain, letting our boats be swept away?

and i always wondered why did dogs bite u?

i wonder if things will change or will it remain the same between us.

whatever it may be, i m always here.

somehow, this is part of me.

being hurt and yet still being there.

maybe this is my calling. my purpose.

even when i feel like a spotlight or a third wheel.

i try to be understanding and still be there.

it's tough. that's life. perhaps i m a sucker for pain.

there are lots of ppl out there who just needs someone.

an ear, a shoulder, a hand, a friend.

and that's what i try to be..

a friend

life

if you keep telling yourself a lie; eventually it becomes a truth.

Thigh-high boots are "in" this 2009

Pants might be over as we know it. Thigh-high boots emerged as the hot shoe for fall, landing so far up the leg they doubled as leg warmers. Is this designers' collective attempt to save the world from the pantless ladies everywhere (Lady Gaga and Lindsay Lohan)? Designers even tacked on a few bells and whistles to their boots: Hussein Chalayan added garter belts, Prada made rubber waders stylish, Antonio Berardi lined his in fur, and Stella McCartney's faux-leather leggings were actually boots that pulled up to the crotch.

Thigh-length boots, known also as thigh-high boots or simply thigh boots, are boots that extend above the knees. Other synonyms include over-the-knee boots, and especially when cuffed, pirate boots. Lengths vary from reaching just over the knee to reaching almost to the crotch (referred to as crotch boots).


But are we ready to embrace the implications of this phenomenon? Pants as we know them are losing popularity. And with the surge of thigh-highs, rescuing them is even further from our reach.

Missing you

I just got back from office. yup. at 3.15am. And yes, I went to work on a public holiday. And yes, i have to wake up by8am which would be in 4 hours time. However, while waiting for my hair to dry, I have to look through and prepare for my new client tomorrow.

It's just fantastic as I have to submit my work to my manager by Thursday meaning I only have tomorrow and Wednesday to complete my work. Sheesh. I have to work late but I can't claim OT due to my so-called-senior status. Ridiculous isn't it that at this level, we can't claim anymore OT as we're only supposed to review our juniors work and not work late. Such balderdashness.

Then again, who am I to complain when lots of other people can't even claim OT at all. Guess, I feel so because I need the OT hours as I have utilised my annual leaves for my upcoming study break in April. I hope I pass both papers this round as I won't have any leaves left and I am so sick of studying something that I feel is of no value to me. It just goes in and out. I don't know why I can't seem to absorb and even sometimes understand all this theories and technical stuff. I wished I could take my exams in the land down under but the last core paper is tough and well, I'll need to look for a study group to discuss the case study. Sigh.

Dread that I'll have to work late again tomorrow night.

It's generally hard as I still am missing you terribly.

My goodbyes

there are so many goodbyes to say..

Goodbye to 2008 yes.. i know that i m late in my faretheewells. However, it's always better late than never, right? Well, 2008 wasn't a year to shout about. i was seconded to JB in Jan-March. Visited the bf in July. my family bought a new house end year. Beyond that, it was a pretty uneventful year. Resolutions weren't kept and met. I am still in the same job. I still look the same. Think the same. Act the same. Then again, perhaps not.

and of course Goodbye to no.29. i miss no.29. I am not referring to the dust and the mess and the chaos but to the space, the familiarity and the memories there for the past 20 years. my childhood years. kindergarten, primary, secondary life. the 16th and 21st bday party and also the christmas parties held and so on and so forth.

i always knew i had to say Goodbye to my dear but knowing and saying goodbye doesn't seem to get any easier everytime we part. Neither does it spare me the sadness and the tears. Everything and wverywhere reminds me of you. When i watched a movie just now, it reminded me of you. When i went to Wah Sek Kai @ SS2 for dinner, it reminded me of you. Just looking at bolsty lying on my bed now, reminds me of you. And how i miss your smile. your hugs. your presence.

I guess it goes without saying that bidding goodbye seems to be a necessity and part and parcel of life.

With a goodbye comes a future "hello" and i hope i can say that "hello" to you sometime soon.

for now, I wish i could stop feeling miserable.. the hollow ache in my heart.. but it's hard and there's no one to turn to.
