the only thing that saved me on a monday


because some people really are that stupid

thanks alfy boy for opening our eyes to this super awesome world of fail-ness
now if only we caught that dude on the lazy boy yesterday
the dude practically flipped the lazy boy over
buahahahahahhha
roffel roffel roffel

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

as i half limped my way to the lift for lunch today
thru that freezer of a CBJ 2R
a thought struck me

u know when people say
fate only takes u halfway
u gota work the other half yourself ...

as opposed to
u can only do so much
u gota leave the rest up to God.. have faith...
that sorta thing

well in a way iv always been more type 1
im a do-er
i cant bloody sit still
so for me to NOT do anything
is really the challenge

perhaps this is the lesson to be learnt
to have faith

T for try
T for tougher than it looks
thicky thicky thick

"oi.. enough la. ur puttin on too much"

no but seriously.. im not

they are so dry, i can use half a tube a day ... but i wont
ironically enough, iv never been one to slap it on very often
they've always been kinda dry, but nothing like this!

so iv gone from zero to hero
u may call me...
captain vaseline
*slideeeeeeee*
these chicks dont even know the name of my band
Thursday, March 26, 2009

uhuh

it was only amusing to see that fat dude dance in the back


so iv been on these pills for close to 3 weeks now
im not expecting some overnight miracle
but the side effects sure aren't shy, thats fer shure

read: dry lips to rival an autumn leaf

potent pills = woohoo side effects
part n parcel hey?
plus, to each her own
to some - dry skin/lips
to some - nausea
to some - loss of appetite
to some - depression

who is to say which amongst this attractive menu of ailments i should be lucky enough to enjoy?

im starting to wonder
if my decreasing appetite as opposed to my increasing fatigue has anything to do with these lil purple pills that i be downing
then again.. its always easy to blame it on the drugs
for all i know. its just me

hah


all in the back
Monday, March 23, 2009

#$%^&*(~!

my. back. hurts. like. a . fckin. bitch.ugh.

the only thing im capable of thinking of is
how in the bloody hell do i alleviate this pain?

tempur mattress
i dream of u
catchin' my breath

is all im tryin to do
u know how it feels when ur just THAT tired
breathing alone seems like a great effort

random colleague next to lift: "so Nur.. how are you?"
*bleah* nur: "eh? okla. just exhausted tho. everythings moving so fast. am struggling to catch my breath"
random colleague again: "wah.. that bad ar?"
*still bleah* nur: "nah, i wouldn't say its bad. its good.. just very tiring is all"

correction - very.. very ..tiring


don't get me wrong though
i love being busy
idle hands + idle minds = bad news for hyperactive person such as i
but even i do need a break after a while
like now...


its been non-stop for weeks now
and just when i think
"yeah.. next week should be better"
then... something else pops up
if its not work, its other new projects, or reconnecting with old friends, or keepin my psychotic exercise regime intact


iv said it before n i'll say it again
why do i do this to myself?

oh but u know what
strangely enough
its times like these that i feel most alive

the contradictions
the ironies
all at once

one word - balance

dear god i think im runnin up a fever

holy. mother. of. god.
or.. of mine for that matter...

nooooooooooooooo

mom: eh, i need your help la. can u help me set up a facebook account?
nur: o_0 . huh? why?
mom : nola, so i can check nisa's photos out & since my friends have been telling me about it and sending me stuff. apparently i gota get an account in order to see
nur: ...
mom: ya, (she goes on about how another friend offered to help her set it up... )
nur: *panic panic nowwww*
mom: so yeah, i might as well get u to do it for me. besides, u know all my account names & passwords anyway
aha!

on the slightly bright side. if i do set up an account for her. i could periodically log into her account n make sure that none of my bizness gets shown there n i will know exactly what portions she can see, and what she can't...

of course.. in an ideal world, all parents wouldn't have any business being even slightly aware of the existence of facebook, much less have their own accounts.

YA SURE.
pfft!

such talk of the non-existent shall not continue henceforth...

taking a shitty situation n making the best outa it.
trying to see the good in everything.
looking on the bright side.

all of the above is all there is left to do.
i know of someone very near & dear to me who lives by these very phrases.
someone whom i call my HERO
someone who deserves nothing but the very best in the world
a someone so rare with a heart of pure gold

my thoughts are with you always...

as for my mom
haih
i'll deal with it
what else can i do right?

that double edged sword stabs me again

i fool myself into thinking that i have got my armour on
when i know i don't

if u could know what i know
if u could only see what i see

every waking moment
even in my sleep

its only been days
but perhaps forever more i must wait ...
huh?

is my normal reaction to.. most things
so i've been told

and ok fine. i do realise it too hence...
im writing them down

things that made me go "huh?" this morning
  1. the first e-mail i read said "Be a Super Secretary"

-_- it was a forwarded invitation to attend this training course meant for exec. secretaries, PAs aka people like your's truly

nothing like a reminder of just how mindless a part of my job can be, and of where i truly belong in this mega ass huge organisation - right at the bottom, just above the mail boy

hiphip hooray!

2. the annoucement that there is to be no more smoking on the 3rd floor balcony as of 2 weeks from now. to which made bee join me in our 'huh?'s. closely followed by a 'demmit/cibai'

3. yet another forwarded e-mail that i was apparently supposed to receive, although i don't quite see the relevance. but yeah ok... *hits delete*

4. a random funny proposition via sms from Mira "Nurry! Be my amazing race partner?" , to which i said, yeah why not. but still absolutely random. haha

on another note.

i have decided that i will go to india in november for an exchange friend's wedding. and i have also decided that i am dragging christine & laura chan with me

wheeeeeeeee!!! omg the joy :))))

tired on a thursday
why?

physically exhausted
with fall out boy on replay all day
an aching back
and the image of my bed + my book + my nightlight stuck like a screen blocking out any other thought from entering my brain cavity


ah bliss

and tonite. i shall give in

no fuck it
in an hour i will
yesssss
whoa woman whoa

literally jaw dropping speechless kinda like whoa

was me
for most of the past 2 days

what started out as a means of office escapism for 2 whole days turned out to be abso-fuckin-lutely awesome
n this is coming from someone who really isnt into all these conference type things *groan*
all this sitting down quietly, listenin to a whole buncha ppl tell u how u should live your life like how they did and hear them brag
boo

but.. but...

this one was different
these women were like bloody superheroes!
through immeasureable adversity, countless doors slammed in their faces, ostracism right down to death threats, they went on
they persisted
they strived

their message was simple
they could do it
so can you
for no one can stop you.. but yourself

u shape ur own destiny
the only question is...

how?

i stumbled across this random person's blog
when i was searching for images today

his thoughts hit more than a few notes

i like

i will read again

http://ssimplethoughtss.blogspot.com/
do you really?

notice how much goes into the tiny details,
the little tasks
the small conveniences
that we do?


brainless
tedious
tiring
to say the least

but it is what we do
what.. everyone else takes for granted
and what everyone else doesn't want to do



did i really need to go to school for this?
nah

am i proud of what i do?
nah


but its a part of the journey
we all gota start somewhere
and for me.. that somewhere is here


altho i do wonder
do they notice?
my guess is .. they don't


but if and whenever i get there
i will

cos in everything.. its the little details that truly count
approve what?
Monday, March 2, 2009

on what authority?
haha

i still find it amusing how people send me stuff for 'my approval' at work
i mean yeah.. of course la i'll approve it
but i still think its funny cos really...
who died and made me the expert?


if they only knew..
that im just as clueless as they are

haha

okla
i can correct their english la
fullstop

:P
