AAAAARGH why won't you talk to me???

also known as: why do bad things happen to great people

I have spent from 11pm to now, 11.30pm loading, unloading, logging in, logging out, refreshing, a single login page to lodge a billing enquiry to my dear phone company...
I spent all day yesterday with my mobile clamped to the side of my head on hold, being transferred, in the phone queue for the same billing enquiry...
My own fault I didn't go to the store today to ask them to do what I know from previous times they will say, "oh, you must contact customer service"

Apparently, the explanation for why I cannot contact the excellent customer service reps is because the company's products and services are so wonderful that they are experiencing longer customer call times then anticipated.

I.E. everyone quit, went on holidays, and the rest are already stuck with miserable people like self on the phone asking as many questions as possible before they get put on hold or transferred or hung up on...

I spent so long on this phone bill that I even managed in the meantime to sort out my gym membership AND send feedback to Fitness First enthusing about how wonderful the customer service guy was..
I even managed to lodge a cashback bonus with HP for my new laptop
I went to gym with B
I sorted all my mail
I checked facebook.com (still boring)

Tonight I concede defeat, I will return for battle tomorrow! Armed with icepacks for my elbow and a prop to hold mobile to left ear (I am left handed and left headed)

BTW if you are insinuating that the bill was overdue.. I understand why you would suggest that, and I will forgive you right away for not taking my side and tell you, it is due on 30th November...2007 not 2006

So there

So will you be on my side now???

Re: re : yourself

poor bambi!!! ugh how useless of prada,
have to say...after the movie if feels like they are sliding..
or perhaps i'm just distracted by all the colors on LV bags...
after DVF this morning i am further from 3digit clothes than ever...for work anyway...
and sabotaging chances at loubotins this year hand over fist...
top it off...seems like my IBM laptop is finally had it, the battery won't recharge..if i am right, i have 20 minutes left before i need to buy a new laptop HEH
i don't like intrays...i don't have alot in them, but they are still very messy....
and apparently not in alphabetical or chronological order. so it is just this pile of paper that someone is topping up for me...
i cannot cope with paper that is not filed or categorised...even a postit that says "to file" would please me...
when i was on the phone with someone's secretary.. i called her patricia...
her name is wendy...
i don't know how it happened...
i told her i was getting senile in my old age and i was just thankful my voice was still so youthful...
and then i hung up and had hysterics
my workmate's growing nervous breakdown is contagious...if only her constant weightloss was too...
i get pilates on thursday lunchtimes.. haven't been gym or yoga in weeks..i start again on sunday...
obviously i would have liked new gym gear to celebrate...
ohhhhh did i say paul smith??? i saw those clothes too.... ugh... i will need to choose several categories i thi nk for top 3s...

dear diary

last day before the exam...

the good : got some study done
the bad: did not get all study done

the good: found time to buy a new toothbrush (battery powered way-hey! yes i'm lazy to move my hand)
the bad: also found time to buy new dvf

the good: it was a DVF!! half price!!
the bad: i know only one person who knows what a DVF means

the good: it was DVF!
the bad: had to alter it...

the good: a TAILORED DVF!!!
the bad: worried the label will get snipped off

the good: auntie said she would be careful since she understands my self-admitted kiasu/snob problem
the bad: can't concentrate any longer until DVF comes back

Birthday girl

it is my bestie's birthday soon...
whilst i won't be there, for some reason i am
looking forward to it.

people get so wierd when they get old.

i mean, starting to think of other people?
feelings of generosity...

it is all very odd and unlike me.

obviously in addition to a present,
i will be
returning her khaki vest that she left behind
hehehe

i have given up on del's chips though
i don't think they exist in this country..
so much for them being australian allegedly

oh! almost forgot!!!


one can never go wrong with a big ribbon around their finger

letter for you

hope you are having a good weekend,
and work is treating you well.
how's bambi?
can you believe people are STILL getting brand new
ruched prada leather bags here?
and you have had yours for so long you sent it to HK?
and i still want one...
hehe
i'm exhausted from working out what to wear to work,
and getting to work on time (8.20am!!) with coffee, with
the right outfit (can't wear the same thing twice in a week)
or on the same day aslast weel...
you didn't tell me about that?
i miss singapore..
one day i'm just going to leave my desk and just fly over
because i can't stand it any longer..
i miss that chicken rice place
that you and del took me to.
i eat so much laksa because i miss singapore and there's nothing else to
eat. although my friend at work likes maccas...
so we eat that alot...
i lend her my sex&thecity dvds..
are you going shopping this weekend?
i put a deposit on a dress in Scanlan, but i haven't picked it up yet..
maybe next week after my exams...
xoxox
love you miss you
love love!
why is it that it takes longer to email or text than for me to do this?????

all i want this weekend ...

the emperor's new clothes

one feathered clutch by ferragammo
one pair of glitter encrusted loubotins
no clothes necessary
no one will notice

tuesday work nights in sydney

yesterday was Melbourne cupday..

LITERALLY the day everything comes to a shuddering standstill

suddenly all the phones in the entire office stopped ringing at quarter to 3pm

everyone had a glass of champers or a bottle (plus two stored under the desk for later) of beer in their hands

and a ticket with bizarre horse names in the other...

it didn't end after the races either, everyone hustled off to the bar for drinks...

most bizarre of all: everyone said hullo to each other

why i would like a time machine...

have you ever said something that you wish you could take back???
every idiotic text message, voicemail, drunken dial, drunken text, drunken email, sober email (even worse)...
that sensation of utter stupidity
and then the dawning realisation that
"i shouldn't have done that"
ironically enough, the very first episode of sex & the city i then watched to console stupid self, evolved around the theme of
"are there times when women should just shut the f*** up?"
where were you 25 minutes ago?
i can't wait for the sheepish behaviour tomorrow
combined with pretending nothing happened...
soooo convincing
and how annoying, everything started with good intentions

surprise! i'm materialistic, who knew?!

there's nothing like retail therapy to cheer the downhearted...


even better, i like having people complement my choices..




so i made bad decisions in guys before


big deal


my shoes always looked great




so i'm only a trainee on probation to start,


big deal


i'm the new shoe queen in town

the shoes that finally had me officially labelled once and for all... brazillian made. they invented carnivale, and redefined waxing...they definitely know their shoes.

but with great power comes great responsibility.. so they say..

or am i just coming up with new excuses?

can you blame me???
