Ok, maybe I’m just over emotional over this, you be the judge.

Where I work, there are a few of us who are agency girls meaning that we are temps. For about 2 weeks now we’ve been working together and when you work together, you talk about life and such. I don’t know if I mentioned this before but one of the girls there actually lives in the NEXT street from me. Like where I’m at, she’s right behind me….where exactly she is, I’m not sure but the thing is, her place is just a street away.

What I find most weird is that, although I don’t expect her to, after she knew where I lived, she never once offered me a lift to or from work. Sometimes, we finish at different times so it’s quite ok if you can’t take me home. BUT we start at the same time, so how come she never offered me a lift? To me, it’s just plain courtesy. It’s not as if we are total strangers after working with each other for more than 2 weeks. Now that said, of course I don’t expect her to, and honestly, if she did, I would have declined the offer anyway coz I don’t quite like her.

It’s the principle [so to speak] that I’m talking about. If I were her, I would have offered her a lift even if I didn’t like her coz somehow, that seemed the right thing to do. Ajak-ajak ayam also something la! I think a couple of reasons could be because she also dont like me, she may be afraid that I won’t pay for my ride whether in cash or kind and perhaps, she just isn’t the type who offers lifts. Who knows eh?

O well, this is just me and my over-emotional side getting the better of me. It may well be nothing at all, but hey….going back to work definitely reminds me of all the crap I have to face when it concerns people. Gee, aren’t a bunch of loonies in our way, eh?

How many of you actually get a free massage at work?? And I’m not talking the kind your friends give you during tea time while you sit in your chair and then they scurry back to their desk when the boss comes around the corner. I’m talking about a proper massage when you lie face down, somewhat topless [had my bra on] and have a professional massage therapist work on your back. O yea, it was definitely something different!

It was sometime last week after the major bulk of enrolments were done and our team leader had arranged for each one of us to get a 10 minute massage from the people she normally goes to. And boy was I surprised by it!

I was more nervous getting undress for the boy who was also doing backs so I cleverly positioned myself so that I’d get worked on by this friendly, Chinese lady. When it was my turn, I told her quite honestly that this was something that is new to me and that I didn’t what
to do or if there was something I had to do. She was kind enough to explain it all to me which I was very thankful for. So after the small chitchat and telling her that I had back issues, I got half nakkid and waited for her to come back in. And when she did, she was just so friendly trying to keep my attention off the pain coz she really used her bull strength to get at my back muscles and knots.

After that, it felt good but sad to say, I was sore and tender for days! Even now, I can feel the slight soreness on my lower back. I don’t know if it is meant to be that way or not, but one things for sure, I won’t be going for another back massage any time soon!

2 of my colleagues at work are pregnant. One is almost due with just a few weeks away from her due date while the other one is just 4 months pregnant. As usual, when women who’ve had kids come together, there is always talk about the birth and what happened during labour, etc, etc. And it was no surprise that we all shared a fair bit of our experiences.

S is the one who is close to her due date but doesn’t look it coz she is slim [alsmost close to being too thin for my liking really] and tall, hence her baby bump is not so noticeable. I knew there was something not so right with her as I personally felt that she was a little bit pushy and apparently she is a control freak so to her, not knowing when bub will come really gets to her. I told her that she wouldn’t a big baby coz it’s no fun trying to get her out. Bub is a girl. And trust me, I know!

L on the other hand was someone I thought was fat but didn’t mention anything until she said that she was preggers!! lol How humiliating is that?? Thank god I didn’t say anything….hehehehe. Anyway, she’s got 2 kids and the younger one is 12 years old. It’s quite a gap coz apparently she had them young so now, it’s her 3rd.

She’s had monster babies!! First one was like 4.1kg and the other was 4.5kgs!!! What was that woman eating?? I bet she had prenatal vitamins for breakfast, lunch and dinner to get babies that size. Gawd, and here I was thinking that if I had another and it was bigger than KR who was 3.28kg, I’d most likely pass out!! lol

I definitely told her, ‘Power to you, woman!’ when she mentioned her babies weights. I found it just so scary man. In my opinion, when you’re having a baby, small is the way to go. You can always fatten them up after they are out.

I dont know if I’ve blogged about this but I thought I mention it again. The whole of last week, I was on a rabbit’s diet but I guess you could also call it a colon cleansing diet coz I was mainly on vegetables! That whole week, I had salad and a little bit of roast chicken and on Thursday, I had salad as well but with Tuna instead of chicken. I thought it wouldn’t be able to keep me full but boy, was I wrong!! Just in case, I even had backup food like loats of muesli bars, Up n Go [a sort of breakfast drink] and fruit. I was that scared of getting hungry. LOL

Anyway, my salad consists of carrot, cucumber, alfalfa, tomatoes and roast chicken. And on another day, it was the same except that I added fresh mushrooms and used tuna instead of chicken. Apparently the thing that kept me full was the protein from the chicken. So healthy right? lol If you knew me, you’d know that this is not what I normally eat, heck…I honestly feel like a rabbit! But my sis said, to make me feel more sexy and better about it, I should say that I feel like Jessica Rabbit!

Although I wish I could carry on this diet, I think I’ve had enough of it for now. On Monday, I’ll be taking ham sandwiches instead, I think I need meat. I miss it!

Do you have a special email set aside for official purposes like job applications or college enrolments? If you do, good on ya! If you don’t, now is the best time to get a proper email with proper username for the said purpose. Why? Simply because – this coming from experience working as an office admin, what email you use will potray how you’d like to be treated. At least this it what it speaks to me.

If I had someone walk in the door for a job interview having an email addy like exotic_gem, spanish_dude69, etc….my first impression would not be a good one. And that is the absolute truth! I just feel that they are not taking things seriously if they can’t be bothered to get a proper email for official use. Hence, I myself have a few emails, an official one using my real name and the other few are for my personal use and blogging. I think this is the best way to go about it. At least, the other person won’t be shaking their head as I was doing when I came across there inappropriate emails.

So Lindsay my dear…since you are in the midst of that San Diego job search, remember what I’ve told you and get a new email address, your Lil_Saint won’t cut it!

This what happens when your 2 year old forgets that she’s got a baby sister who sits on the floor most the time, picking up things that she isn’t suppose to.

What you see if KR after chomping down on a non-toxic green marker that Arianna uses to color. I’m not worried coz its non-toxic but even so, it’s looks so scary! I know my Mum would freak out but never fear, Nanna…it’s all good. Washes out very easy and well to!
