Facebook is evil

Posted by baby ele on November 22, 2007

Dear Readers,

You know, not much goes on in my life besides work. And if anything funny happens, its usually related to family, and I have been asked not to write about them.

So dilemma, what to write in a blog when my life revolves around work and family, and where I can’t write about family, and it’s not professional to write about work.

Bah.

I’m seriously contemplating opening a business blog.

Facebook is evil, it collects all our information via personality quizzes and IQ quizzes, or whatever other applications that collect our data, then they collate the information and profile us.

I’ve been reading so much about facebook.com I’m seriously starting to dislike it, I just removed all applications that ask about my personality.

Wait, save for one,

BRAINFALL.com quiz, I love my results!

ah…you win some and then you lose some…

Will update you all on my new blogsite next week,
Yours neurotic penpal,
Stacy

PS. The colours of this blogsite are horrendous (that looks wrong, my spelling sucks??)

Feel like Browsing?

Posted by baby ele on November 19, 2007

No I don’t feel like browsing at all, but what the heck. just used it as a title.

I had such a whirlwind day at the office! Emotions like a rollercoaster.

Anyways, yesterday I made up this ridiculous rule, how sundays are my ‘binge’ days. As in days where I can eat and do whatever I want.

Seriously, this is bad news, I feel so guilty about it, will take away that rule starting next week.

I think I figured out my new year’s resolution, I really need to grow thicker skin. (Metaphorically of course, my skin is HELL THICK now.)

Any suggestions?

It’s been a long while

Dear Readers,

Okay I have fallen off the map again. My bad.

Do you ever have days where (when?) you know you have things to do but you rather curl up in your bed and rot?

Exactly.

Lots of things have happened this last month. I had 3 layoffs (as in I had to have the ‘we have to let you go’ speech 3 times), I had a dispute with a supplier, um, 3 groups of friends visited me, and um, so far i’ve had ZERO terribly bad days!

This is a huge improvement.

Last weekend was a whirlwind, Wels, Kathy, Gilbert (if you guys remember my singapore blog, they are my singapore Elizabeth Towers family) William, Lea and Marcus came on thursday night. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so nice to see everyone (everyone minus William and Lea. I can’t stand them) Especially Marcus!! I haven’t seen him in 7 months!

It was non-stop hussle and bussle til Saturday morning when they left. I really gotta get myself a digital camera because I hardly took any photos!

Grr.
I dropped them off at the airport (ahh, so sad to say goodbye again, I just wanted to cling on and keep them here with me, or have them whisk me away to singapore) and then rushed to meet Jeab and Neha for lunch, took photos in the park (I LOOK HORRIBLE) then met Rachel for dinner!

Phew!
I slept half of Sunday.

Something bugged me the whole day. Yesterday, Dad casually said that people born with beauty marks/moles on their shoulder means that they always carry a burden. And just as he said that, we all checked our shoulders and

I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH A BEAUTY MARK ON MY SHOULDER.

Actually, Dad doesn’t believe in this stuff, but says we shouldn’t fight it. Maybe I will get it removed sometime this year.

I really do feel that I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Dad says that family isn’t a burden, and I guess I agree, family is my responsibility.

Lots of my friends say that this is the way I am, regardless of how chips fall into place, I would had taken this responsibility anyways. But on rare occassions, I have guilty wishful thoughts that this responsibility isn’t mine to have.

I’m serious about my shoulder pain,
Off to bed,
Stacy
