work part II + TGIF

me! still in my black and white theme.. and.. the boredom at work continues! haha, I fell asleep (as usual i know) at my desk after finishing an ice mocha. here are the pictures to prove how free we were. we even left at 3pm on thur!


swan! ur doll travelled from bangkok-s'pore-china. its with me at work. :)
oh my office is at the 51st floor of Raffles City, so we have a great view. the pantry's pretty nice although i normally just grab coffee and leave. its been pretty gloomy these few days so i couldn't give the view justice.
the guy with the big hair is yuri, a polish intern who was equally bored with me.
SO!! it was finally weekend!!

on our way out from home.

our italian meal, which was unbelievably cheap. escargots (upper right) was 15rmb, 3 freaking sgd. spaghetti was 9rmb, less than 2 sgd. crazy right! we even had tiramisu and chocolate mousse.

on the way home in the train. wrapped like like a bao eh? these are the other s'pore girls, not living in my house though. left wenjie and sharon.

the sardine can
when the door opened, the 3 people infront of me managed to squeeze out. when i looked up, i saw a swarm (and i mean SWARM) of people rushing towards me. they didn't care if you're going out. the girl could look me in the face and push me back inwards. it was so packed you couldn't really breathe. girls, remember the disgusting countdown we went at suntec? it was like that! i even heard them telling some other people, 'next stop then get down la' in chinese. i had to take one stop, and take it back. wah, it felt like i've been through some storm man, CULTURAL SHOCK to the power of infinity.
and by the way, this is probably an everyday event here. im just lucky i experienced it after 4 days i guess. when i get back to s'pore, shenton way crowd is going to peanuts man. well im safe in the office now, wasting another day away. everyone in my noc group hates me cos im getting paid one of the highest and probably doing the least work . ahah, i think its me, wherever i go the company seems to be not doing alot of work.

end of freedom
well work started on monday at Grundfos and to commemorate my lost of freedom and the start of this blog, im going to wear black and white the entire week without repeating my clothes! so here's the evidence: monday (left)tuesday (below)
so how was work?? it was so boring im amazed i stayed awake the first day! the list of things i managed to complete at work:
- write a poem
- find out where to go for chinese new year
- had coffee with the polish intern
- learn from him shanghai's clubbing hotspots, chitchat for about an hour
- visit local clubbing and hip places website
- find a useable web-based msn because my stupid company blocks skype and msn
- chitchat with 5 friends at a go cos everyone's bored at work
good eh? to prove how bored i was, i managed to even take pictures of myself acting busy!

i look so serious right! to prove how i can angle the camera at myself due to free time. haah what's even better, my boss is in s'pore from today to next tues! more time to kill.. i didn't know it was that tiring to do nothing, like i get stoned from wasting my brain away. hahah, all's good i guess!
the occupants

first pictures featuring my housemates!! from left: my roomie Shane aka the mama of the hse. next, charlene then wilfred and haojie, the 3 smokers and drinkers in the house. things are really great at home. the guys cook! 3 meals so far already and i mop! haha cos i don like to wash plates.
this was when we were furbishing our house with the necessities. felt weird to buy bedsheet, quilt and all. felt so adult all of a sudden.

A literary day II
The Snake
Elegant and beautiful
Smooth to the touch
Deceptively harmless
Exquisite with charm
Everyones confidante, stranger to none
Talks and laughs all around
Shes everybodys clown
heres a blow for your mind but
none for the heart
darkness unveils another side
movements which never sees light
dont ever let your guard down
you might wake up unharmed
so play with her for all you want
but never hand her your heart.
deceptively harmless
youll never have a snake's heart
--
lousy right? at least bloggin occupies my time and hope i didn't waste 3 min of your life! ahha, i shall put up pictures when i get home tonight! its 9 min before i end work and run out into the cold. bye!

A literary day
yes, im rhyming (if u haven't noticed) and if u haven't already guessed, im referring to my sisters! ZHUO PEIYI and ZHUO PEIFEN. my first china post is dedicated to you 2! one big ol' emotional one who can't stop tearing and makes my heartache. The other supposedly cool one who did a huge post about me [i think i saw u emotional at the airport! :) ] and who's about to embark on a journey of her own.
why is it literary? cos here's a poem dedicated to them. enjoy :)
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
--
i do miss you guys and don't make me want to come home even more! although it won't be home since fen's not there. may all 3 of us be strong in the coming months. Its a test on the zhuo sisteres! do what you have to do alright, work, study, play (or all). we're the charmed ones! we can do it! im only a call away :)
