I know I haven't been blogging for a long time...no denials about that. Just that sometimes I think of what I want to blog, but when I reach home, all I can think of is to play my Sims 2. Haha. Talk about having no life. :P Labels: contemplatives, my life
Actually I'm quite contented with my current no life status, work, then go home play game! Then next day go back to work again. I really treasure the times I get to play game because although I surf a lot of net at work (shhh...) but there are still sites that are banned (like this blogger!) and I cannot read my favourite blogs anymore.
Strangely I'm more interested in other people's lives than my own. But then, I have no life! LoL. My life consists of controlling other people's life (aka my Sims 2).
I'm so happy because recently I went Hong Kong and then I bought an expansion pack to my Sims 2. So now I have 2 expansion packs, Nightlife and Open for Business!! Busy making my sims do business and go dating. Hahaha. How lame is that.
I'm hoping to get 1 more expansion pack (University!) because I want my Sims 2 study more and not grow old so much. My sis is going HKG this time round, so hopefully she can get it for me. Oh! It's much cheaper in HKG, these expansion packs, although they are made in Singapore. Strange isn't it??
On other matters, my highlight is...I got pay increment!! Yay!!! All that work had paid off. LoL. This year is a good year for my industry, so many people are getting promoted and getting a good increment. Mine is not too bad la...a little more than I would have expected. But I also worked hard for it, I should deserve it! LoL.
Office politics is a really strange thing which I cannot understand. Whereas there are some people whom you are not so gum with, but then against another person, when both of you dislike the same person, you will find yourself suddenly very gum with that person. It's quite childish, like last time in primary school whereas you will "friend" and "don't friend" people. Except that people's intentions are always hidden, you have to keep guessing what they are thinking.
Er, and people can be really really fake if they want to. Yikes. I guess it's really part and parcel of the job!!!
I should be popping down to Comex tomorrow...not to buy anything...but INK! I always like to go Comex buy ink because the discounts are good and they always like to throw in freebies like photo papers and the such. I like that a lot!!
Oh, and my recent craze about mineral makeup? I have like 3 different brands lying on my drawers, my 3rd stash is from Our Rock Minerals, and the owner is so sweet, I ordered like 7 samples at USD0.30 each and she still threw in another 2 more samples!! So it's total 9 samples for USD2.25, which is like SGD3.25. Jolly good!!
Anyway the exchange rate is now USD1.00 to SGD1.44, no good no good!!! In the past it's like, USD1.00 to SGD1.4!! And when I went USA early this year it was only SGD1.36! Arrrgh. TIme to curb my shopping a bit now...
Most people are guessing that the USD will rise rapidly after the Presidential elections, so I guess right now if don't buy more, next time the exchange rate will be back to the high times like USD1.7. Geez.
Learning to put mineral makeup is quite a challenge, so right now I still have quite a bit of makeup to use...I shall stop buying for now. In the mornings I still use the good old pressed foundation because it's faster. I'm a super fast makeup person...5 mins is all I take each morning to make up.
That's after the toning and moisturizing la.
Good thing is minerals are naturally occuring elements, so, it will not spoil even if kept for a long time, unless it's wet. That's because water breeds bacteria.
Lastly before I go...I want to share a good leadership phrase (I don't know what you call that) that I read somewhere this week while surfing net....
"A good leader is whereby when his subordinates makes a mistake, he will own the mistake. But when there is a success, the leader will let his subordinate own the success."
This is how a true leader should be.
