The worst sorethroat ever
Date : Monday, November 26, 2007
Time : 9:58 PM
It just wont go away!!!!!!! It has been like wat?! A week ored?? And Geezz..... i start to think its more than a sorethroat!! It must be some evil throat biting virus, trying to build their cosy sleazy nest inside my throat. WAAAH!!!!! Suely, my brazilian colleague decide to roleplay as my personal GP. Except for a stethoscope, she got everything a doctor needs - the prettiest smile and the gentlest tone one could ever imagine. My sweet GP prescribed me some pills and lozenges for me, and i half-heartedly surrendered under her charmingly smile and that sincerest caring look in her eyes. Lets just hpe those green pills do help, then i could finally swallow my own saliva with that heart-piercing pain NOMORE!!Labels: Brazil, Days of My Life, Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..
Saturday Luncheon
Date : Saturday, November 24, 2007
Time : 6:06 PM
Went lunch with some Brazilians colleague at the newly opened bistro located in the famous Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum on Saturday.
That gotta be the longest luncheon i ever attended. The whole lunch took me 4hrs!!! From twelve thirty to four.. We spent one hr sitting in the restaurant waiting for everyone's arrival, the next two and the half hr eating, drinking, laughing and chit-chatting( Well.. when i said chit-chatting, i actually meant THEY are chit-chatting in Portuguese, while Ivy and I listened in complete puzzle awe), and when everybody finally decided they had talked their hearts all out, filled their stomach all full, drank to their bladder almost burst, we called for the bill AND spent the next half an hr waiting for the waiter swayed gracefully across the room to hand us our damages. By the time, i reached my lil' apartment, its already dinner time nono.
ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!! I m deadbeat by now and i can assure u.. its even tiring than shopping non-stop for four nice consecutive hour. Picture to be loaded soon.. i m in serious need of rest now. (X_X) Labels: Brazil, Days of My Life, Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..

Time : 10:38 PM
=( Just got back from HongKong-the fragrance harbour, yet i was told to fly to Brazil within the next few days.It has been a hectic year with hell lot of flying.. As good as it might seems, the past few months were actually quite exhausting.

I hv got so many pictures piling up.. so many stories to tell and i just dunt hv a hella one/two hr to blog. Thats kinda frustrating and sad to say i gotta signed off here.xoxo and take care till we see each other again. Love, ZeeLabels: Days of My Life, Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..
I dun mean to see ya naked
Date : Monday, May 28, 2007
Time : 9:42 AM
'AWWWWWW!!!!''PONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'An ear-piercing screeeeeaaam + a door-slam at less than in inch from the tip of my nose. Erbbbbb... I m deaf + shocked + stunned for a good 10 seconds or more.
I can register the image of a round, shapely and maybe smooth butt in my pupils a minute ago and then kaboom a pink color wooden door just shut the full monty behind. WTH!!! I din mean to see ya naked anyway, watever u hv i oso have. Imma aint a pervert who enjoy watching you doing ur big proj in the loo!I have lost count of how many times i encountered this situation since i came to work in Brazil's office. I dunnoe WHY this particular lady in my office can nvr remember to lock the door properly before she start to undress. Sometimes i wonder, are you really dat rush?? If that is the case, why must u wait until the last minute then looking for the loo??!! The worst part is: it isnt my intention/fault to disturb you in your midst of ur system-clearing project. You are the one who din lock the door in the first place, y still shouted like there was an alien-invade. I m pretty sure I m not the only one who knocked at ur door. You shud hv seen that happen since it is not the first time you left the door unlocked! Duncha think you are being inconsiderate and if I were to have a faint heart, i would have suffered from a heart attack by ur life-threatening scream.This happened in Singapore too. Once, I was looking for the restroom inside the cinema just after the show. There was only one ladies restroom near the exit. The moment i pushed open the door, a gal inside screamed and slammed the door in front of my face, attracting all the attentions of the leaving audience. I felt like to hide into a hole immediately if there is any in front of me. There was also this incident when i was on my flight to Chile. The lavatory's light was green so i pushed the door open, and hell... i caught a brazilian gal with her pants half-pulled. I was kinda awkward but the Brazilian gal was kinda polite. She came out in a minute, fully-dressed this time, smiled at me and apologised. I dunnoe if this happened in the Gents too. Anyway, people, the point is: try not to wait until your tank is fully loaded before you start looking for a place to release. Even if you are in a rush, please do remember to lock the cubicle's door. By doing tat, u can take your own sweet time, indulging in ur private moment without worrying any unwanted interruption. You dun want to embarass yourself neither do others, BE CONSIDERATE! Also, try to look underneath if u can see any hanging feet before u push the cubicle door, just in case.Labels: Rumbling..

I aint Hobbit u noe!
Date : Friday, May 11, 2007
Time : 7:40 AM
Some of you might know i stay in a studio apartment in Rio, its actually paid and rented by the company. I love the beautiful seaview outside the window, i heart the convenient location of my apartment and i simply cant complain more of the ideal space which is perfect for a single bachelorette who doesnt have a maid to make up her room.However, there is juz this small lil' flaw which i cant stand with any further- why would one design a shower room juz huge enuff for a hobbit?? and where in the hell will people buy a house with such a tiny shower room????
See.. this is the plan view of my shower room, a pathetic space of 0.8m x 1.2m which even I (a shortie) could not stretch my hand straight. (Hey, its not even a sweet square/rectagular area) Okie.. so why does this cute lil pettite shower room annoyed me soo much?? All the sorrow caused by the stupid protruding door knob!!It has been the 3rd time within this week i knocked my elbow on the doorknob while hving a sweet time scrubbing and massaging away all the sleepiness n tiredness. Can u imagine i was like humming n singing in my favourite tune, hving a high time stroking my smooth n fair skin, and here it came a huge, gigantic 'BANG', followed by a numbing sensation and soon a tragedic 'Awwwwww.....................' surrounding the four-walled space in the middle of hualala-ing water splash, waking up all the other tenants who is drifting happily in th lala-land.
Hey mind u!! Its not a light bang like 'pom' but a cold,hard,steady big 'POOOOOONGGG' can!! Dun be surprise if u see a single-handed lil' devil jumping ard one of this day, as i think my right hand is paralyzing. Eww.. how un-kewl its gonna be, a small red devil wif only one hand?? I cant handle the heavy devil-fork wif my left hand. =( Single-upper-limb image is only suitable for irk-evil-uncute-sloggish- pirate head!So people, the lesson du jour: dun ever buy a house wif a small shower room. You dun wanna risk ur hand i assure u, yuck!

Call me Tuna
Date : Friday, April 27, 2007
Time : 6:33 PM
I wonder if this is wat we called 'Karma'.I m a huge sandwich lover. i love bread more than rice or noodle. If u know me in person, u can probably see me munching sandwiches for meals, in between meals, right after meals. It muz be Karma-came-to-fruition-day. Hv u ever seen how the tuna paste being sandwiched between the baguette? That's exactly my situation now. I m the tuna paste in between two slices of fat & spongy breads, which was being squueeeezed until oozing out.Why cant the managers communicate among themselves. If they dun want to talk face-to-face, they can always use phone, sms, msn, emails and hey even post it up in their blogs (provided they hv one) . Why must I be the messenger????!!!!!!!!This is the email i rec from Manager C--Dear Zeon,
please print out hard copy of attached form and get Manager K to access Section C(i) and sections D & F. He should then sign off and e-mail back to me. also please remind him to confirm that he will do the same for xxxx by next week 3 rd May07, Ask him to get all forms signed and e-mail back to me.
Regards,
Manager C
Doesnt he know that an email can send to multiple receivers???? Doesnt he know there is such thing called 'cc' ?????? And who am I to direct Manager K to do all these???????And yet I thot 'Communication' is the 1st Chapter we learn in Management Lesson?
Now you know why we need all these delivered to Brazil??--A parcel I received in the office today, thru UPS:
Jimmy too got a bag of goodies hand-carried from Singapore to Rio:
Lets take a peep at wat's inside>> Salonpas pain reliever-patch, panadol and herbal tea... AND ... RED LABEL!!! Mmm.. i think Black Label will be betta?
Reason being: We're vomitting blood and bleeding internally constantly under the 'HARSH' environment of the poor management!!Labels: Nutshell Inc., Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..
THE proj is coming yet again!
Date : Tuesday, April 24, 2007
Time : 8:24 AM
Date of my departure hasnt been fixed till today. For reasons being that i have this plummy project to coordinate. Now this project is gonna be out of my way, things are more or less finalised and i can finally book my return ticket.
However, i got the news that THE mega project has made its way to the drawing board AGAIN!!! THE project is nonetheless the project dat almost drove me nuts few months ago. Wasting my time in preparing the bid, fighting wif the Hungarian Ah Lau for almost a yr which then the customer decided to shelf THE project- make me boil still when i think of it. Betta reschedule my return tix to an earlier date, juz dun feel like to put my hand into that mess again!
before i continue grumbling, thank GOD for creating omelette. Gimme a nice one for breakfast, and i'm now as happy as a lil' gal again =)Labels: Nutshell Inc., Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..
Pointless Scribble..
Date : Friday, April 20, 2007
Time : 12:27 PM
For obvious reasons the news of the last couple of days has been dominated by the bloody rampage at Virginia Tech. The bit about there being no restrictions on the purchase of assault rifles eg the AK-47 is highly baffling. It's one thing to sit a thousand miles away and scratch our heads at the happenings yet the fears are real for friends who stay in US. I can understand the feeling perfectly after a year in Rio. Luckily, gun is still not so accessible to the citizens. You might be able to get one, but its most likely not thru a legitimate way. Aint it scary if you were to wake up one day finding ur neighbour holding a gun at ur head while you pick up the morning milk delivery? Isnt it irony when u make out to the world that u would kick up a storm defense against terrorist yet allowing the potential massacre from happening in ur own land?? Wat a terrible world out there!Labels: Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..
I'm sick...
Date : Thursday, April 19, 2007
Time : 7:56 AM
..of being sick. My voice is still as sexy.. my persistent cough and stuffy nose still plagueing me, luckily i m not burned with fever anymore - in another words, i m ill and haggard AND not HOT animore. =(
when ur folks told u not to talk to strangers - they're prolly right. talk too much and u might end up losing your voice. juz like me. Yet i m still chasing all the vendors like there isnt tmr, making tons of call daily.. arrgg, i hope i hv not scare 'em away by my 'telible holible' voice. Wat needs to be done got to be done. i juz wish to quickly finish this fast n go back to my wee home.
Fortunately.. all these blowing nose, sneezing and coughing do not really can dampen my excitement! Keke.. there is a wedding part-eee to attend tomorrow, hoolaalaa.. my first Brazilian Wedding Dinner!! Cant wait to see how its gonna be!!
Now the onli prob is wat to wear??!! According to PP and the rest, dresscode for Brazilian Wedding Dinner is super formal: guys gotta wear tuxedo or at least suits & tie, where ladies gotta put on their best nite gown. A paradoxical nightmare come true - a full wardrobe yet absolutely nothing to wear. Dun u scoff, i'm serious. My wardrobe in the apartment is full of summer wear n casual oufits and some working suits, not even a piece close to. I cant even remember if i brought any dress with me this trip back to BZ. Stupid me, shud hv at leat brought one of the lil' black dresss over. Hmm... now my wardrobe is in dire need of a grownup chic crossover, seeking classic timeless additions. But how?? time is running out, Oh God, pls gimme a cinderella's fairy!! Labels: Brazil, Days of My Life, Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..

A parcel of surprise
Date : Saturday, April 14, 2007
Time : 2:07 PM
Was juz ranting on my bad health recently and deng deng deng deng i receive this speedpost parcel from SG this morning.
A box of Panadol Extra and some vitamin C supplement. No name, no addressee nor any sort of notes. Its a surprice parcel and I hv no clue of who the sender is. Regardless of which kind soul out there, if u r looking at this post, i m expressing my deepest gratitude to you. I m fine now with no more fever. I lost my voice but worry not, i m gonna find it back real soon! Thanks for the concern. Gals are funny animals. We tend to touched by all these lil' acts which u guys might find it too dramatic or showy. For me, I m glad there is someone who care but it would be juz pure gratitude, if only the kind acts were shown by the people I love or care abt, then that is where happiness steps in.Prob age is catching up.. or prob thats becoz of peer pressure. Everybdy ard seems getting married within the next few years, and i ve been asked when is my turn coming. Beside giving evrybody a bitter smile, i cant find other words to say.. When i was a lil' gal, i believed tat the happiest day of my life would be my wedding day, and now.. its not tat i cease believing, it just dawn upon me that to find a soulmate that i can spend the rest of my life with seems the biggest challenge i hv ever met.Fren A: Its abt time.. just get urself out from the shelf and married off ur butt.Fren B: Dun u tell me u hv no woo-ers or BFs. Forget abt ur criteria lists and get realistic!!Fren C: Treasure the man in front of u! U'll nvr know, give it a shot.Fren D: Dun think too much, just go sign the paper and u will know hows married life is.Arrgg.. as if i m going to become an old spinster soon. I m still in my twenties.. aint it my time to focus on my career and embark on my next big thing in life? but somehow.. i can hear that lil' voice in the deepest corner of my heart, yearning for a stable and looking-bright relationship leading to a blissful marriage. But how do i tell if he is the right man for me? if I were at one time in love, what has changed that precipitated my falling out of love with that person? how do i find the spark back or izzit natural for the spark to go away and i might feel not in love anymore but Im just in a different stage of love? The main point is, if i cant sort all this out, wat right do i hv to jump into the marriage cruise and how far u think the ship can sail off?
There are so many doubts in my bombing head, and i juz cant seem to get 'em cleared. How i envious those who can be so sure of what they want/need in life and then fight hard for what they think they deserve.Labels: Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling.., Sacred Dungeon, two cents thot
Chocolate is far more reliable than men?!
Date : Wednesday, February 14, 2007
Time : 12:05 AM
Chocolates, cakes, cards and even romantic movie
s seem to be the order of the day 24 hours a day. Ew.. i feel the air again.. the love bug flying almost everywhere without a place for anyone to hide. I dun celebrate V-day. Nvr. Not even when i m neither single nor available. i hv a problem eating in a restaurant full of lovey dovey couples serving only v-day set dinner. I have to admit I have nothing against love per se. It's just the overdose of marketing drivel that I can't put up with. Price hike of all related products, ah... juz another mkt strategy to boost up sales volume. Everyday can be valentine's day, if you bother to top his/her days with some lil' surprises. You dun hv to do something big, a hug, a tickle, a walk in the moonlight or a little dance in the drizzle. Little things in daily lives which won't cost you much, all you need to spend is a little bit of love. So why wait till this day when everybody seems obligated to publicly showcase their love?
And dun u think its a high risk festival when the break-up rates is higher compared to usual? It could be an annoying Hallmark holiday, yet it still seizes itself upon the female psyche so that she is unable to not harbor expectations about Valentine's Day. The same old story of expectation leads to disappointment. Oh.. Not to mention how the day makes people feel when they are single, whether they want to be or not.
Nonono.. Get me wrong not. I might not find the day special doesnt mean i detest those who treat this day as the most important day of the year. No.. no.. no.. i m not anti V-day. I still find it sweet looking at couples holding-hands together, who are obviously deeply immersed in love. I just dun find it a day worth extra celebration. It will be a whole different set of story if its an official holiday thou =P. Of coz i dun mind if any of u all wanna shower some extra love on me.. haha. 'Happy V-day' to all couples n 'Happy Friendship Day' who gonna hv some great parties wif ur buddies. Also 'Happy Single Awareness Day' to those who is still searching or quit searching. Afterall its not juz a day of sweet romance but a day to rekindle the flame of love if you have lost it somewhere back then...
I shall go get some Royce Chocolate for myself and some doggie treat for Zico and Oh yea.. THEY are my all-season lovers!!

Reality Fair
Date : Tuesday, February 13, 2007
Time : 7:48 AM
Talk about fairness and reality. Out there, where almost 16,000 children die of starvation each day(almost one child every five seconds); in Bangkok, there were people who paid USD25,000 for just a meal which they cant even finish. A meal of a life time ?? Or a meal at the cost of saving thousands of life?
I m not saying that we should all eat like a poor, I m no saint either and i reckon that i spend quite a portion of my earnings on dining & drinking. When it comes to food, we shouldnt compromise on its quality. Besides, we work hard enuff to deserve a pamper.
However, i just cant help wondering, when people are throwing some serious tickets of hard cold cash in so-called delicacies, is this meal really worth that much of money? I understand the art of culinaries should be respected and complimented, however if we were to fly all the way to a thousand miles away just for a meal( not-to mention the carbon emission), shouldnt we think of some better use of the same amount of money?? Well... I might not in a position to criticise, I only wish that if one day I could afford to enjoy the same level of privilege (which i seriously doubt so), I will not to carry away by the wealth and not thinking of contribute more to the people in need.

Ti Ti Kua.. Ti Ti Kua.. (PeeP StiLL)

Time : 5:57 PM
An intern in TTS hospital was sacked after he was caught filming nurses in shower.I think this guy also kukudu(stupid) la. Want to see can go internet or buy a FHM magazine. Cheap n good, why do this kinda thing?
Somemore kena caught red-handed, aiya... See lar.. now all the sweat and tears thru out the past six years all goes into drain.
According to the news report, the culprit set up the video to film through a hole in a pouch hanging on the staff's shower room wall. Sigh.. After so many years of study and hardwork, instead of turning into a promising young doctor, he chose to be a peeping tom. What a waste of taxpayer's money.Luckily he was caught while he was still a houseman, cant imagine how many gals/ladies would have kena his 'salt pig trotter' aka molest by this lecherer if he become a GP in the future( if only there is still a chance). A check by The Straits Times found at least three other doctors who have been caught for outraging the modesty of women. Two of the doctors have been struck off the register - one in 1982 and the other in 1998. The moral of teh story= Never ever judge a book by its cover, never ever trust ur doctor 100%!

Irritating chronic nonproductive cough lasts for three weeks. It all starts from a flu.
Had finished up PP's whole bottle of C
huan Bei Pi Pa Gao, but still no signs of recovery. Now i start consuming Boss recommended cough syrup.. Haiz.. hopefully it helps. KC strongly suggest i should pay a visit to the doctor, well.. considering the fact of my 'cannot -make-it' Portuguese n the 'half-cooked' English of the Brazilian's doctor, plus all the stories i heard fromPP and Dawn, I m tad tweeny bitsy scared to see the doctors here. Besides, i have to take the undecipherable prescription to the pharmacy where i have to go thru another round of gesturing n guessing games. Read Imsonity's post on dear Doc's handwriting, has anyone ever wonder izzit a tradition or a skill an intern has to master in order to become a real Doctor?? Need to ask Dezz when i see him next time rd. Boy.. i certainly wish the cough syrup can do the trick this time round!Labels: Brazil, Days of My Life, Rumbling.. Mulling.. Howling..

Taking Ferry to & fro Rio/Niteroi.. Having Breakfast at the Cafeteria near the office.. Carpool to work.. All these daily activities seems to hv lesser fun without companions. Not to mention ending the day coming home to an empty apartment, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
It suddenly dawns upon me that i hv been so used to surround by friends n families, living in the centre of attention thruout the past twenties years. I do still hv the local friends to chit chat wif, to go lunch wif which in a great deal makes the days past e
asier n faster. But sth is missing, i can tell.
Bad it might sound, thou tolerable still. At least, I'm trying to enjoy the hiatus, adapting to the new practised individualism.. Marching fwd wif a brave heart, at the same time contemplating for a new outlook in the near future. The following week might be a lot busier for me @ work. Pushing forth..Labels: Rumbling..
