how to deal with negative people

This type of species is everywhere....

But now, I'm gonna use this tips on myself... Balik from holiday terus stress + overwhelmed... I better find solutions before I go off attacking innocent civilians out there!

Oh yeah, I already stick my Singapore Itinerary on my cubicle wall so that I have something happy to think of.

- I bought few mineral makeup from lovingminerals - I'm in love with mineral makeup! I think it's much more natural than regular makeup, plus it's less cakey/pasty-looking. I bought Lumiere finishing powder, everyday mineral's blush as well as the kabuki blush. Since I don't go to shops that much anymore, all shopping is done at the comfort of my bed. How convenient...

- Last week I had supper at grace point. Went to Claypot to order Ginger Beef... After paying RM6.50/RM7.00 for the food, 15 minutes later this is what I got....

Few ketuls of beef,

and.... a full bowl of onions!

OMG Memanglah not worth it..... So- don't go to claypot in grace point. I don't mind paying more for good food, tapi this, sudahlah mahal, it doesn't even taste good....

- Went to Focus Point 1Borneo to make lenses for my glasses. After talking to the salespeople, somehow I terbeli the transition lenses. After picking it up, I realize that the lenses are not high index, it was actually the same standard as NORMAL lenses, index 1.50---- I blamed it on the sales people.... I feel soooo ripped off. After talking and discussing, I already mentioned that I would prefer high indexed lenses yang sangatlah nipis. Now I feel like throwing the glasses in the garbage!!!! And after spending hundredddsss on it, I feel sooo wasted... I mean, money doesn't fall from the sky okaaaY! This is totally pissing me off! The sales people are not experienced, they probably would prefer people buying expensive stuff rather than giving people choices of what's best! STUPID!

- It costs me rm400 to fix/paint my car! Honestly, I wouldn't even mind driving a car with a minor scratch as long it gets me from point A to point B. Tapi to avoid nagging and hours of lectures, I'd rather pay the extra 100 to avoid all those.... Why can't people think like Randy Pausch when his wife wrecked his car? I mean rather than lecturing one on how to be a safe driver, why can't they think "bad things happen to good people too". (hehehehhe)

This is from here.
"Nobody likes a negative person. Listening to complaints from someone with a pessimistic, mud-slinging, doom and gloom attitude can drain your energy, push your patience to the limit, and impact your mental and physical health."

So solutions:-
- don't get it get to you.... The only difference of a grave and a rut is how deep it is...
- find solutions.
- don't bother to stay after 5pm when you don't even get paid OT. What's the point right?

and finallllllyyy... Chillleex..... go chill someplace nice and have nice cuppa hot chocolate....

update

I am on leave today... Oh my, how I miss waking up late. I know some people who get up early even on weekends, but I'm sooo not one of them. It's such a cozy feeling staying in bed until 10am (that's not late ok). After that, I babysat the kids at home, OMG, penatnyaaaa... I burned all the calories I had from DoubleCheeseBurger.

For those men out there, women do keep scores. Men who think they got 10 points from ONE expensive gift, they got it wrong. This is how women keep score, gift 1 point, card 1 point, breakfast in bed 1 point, surprise message in our jacket pocket 1 point... Oh yea, don't forget we deduct marks too - so please be nice to your ladies so that you'll look good in our books.

BIM 2009 is coming up in October. So, do join me for half marathon. This time, I plan to train properly... Itupun see-lah if work is letting me out early (how to train when leave office at 7pm?). I think joining this is certainly a good motivation to get moving and keep an active lifestyle.

Anyway, congratulations to my 2240 housemate, R (ala GG pulak), on her engagement recently :) I'm expecting a save the date card early...

getaway

Sorry I had been m.i.a for awhile. Nothing much had been going on, just had been occupied with work which is draining me like crazy!~

Although I am excited to say I am going to have a getaway with my long lost travel buddy, Mel to Singapore next month! You know what's the beauty of going oversea- office can call you, but you have the perfect excuse to not pick up. Roaming charges are very expensive okay? Plus, it's a good way to get away from the mundan-ess of daily things. I always need a good getaway to recharge.

It's at that time of the month and added with the mounting of stress- I am as hell frustrated and moody. So... here are notes for future references:

1) Have a clear expectations of myself and other people, and make sure the other person is clear about it. This includes personal and professional issues okay?
2) A good plan can save you plenty of time and energy later
3) Make a note to other people to not annoy/irritate me with annoying remarks or questions when I'm moody (this is esp for guys. Why they do not get the sign that we obviously not interested to be chatty?)

Okay.. gotta go!

dbkk TH

Me and Josie are looking for team members for dbkk treasure hunt which will be held on 22 February. Because of I'm being "last-minute" this time - most teams are already constructed or people already have obligations... We probably would need someone who can drive- I definitely cannot be driving (can't think and drive at the same time-hazardous!)...

Info can be find here ....

This is the info from last year's...

So, who wanna join our winning team? Heheheheh....

v-day

The supposedly daily-updated blog has become the twice-a-month updated...

Anyway....

Here is tisha on her 2nd birthday. She cried because of the loud pop! So kesian... She got a barbie cake- tapi this time the cake wasn't that kembang (bantat eh?)

Baby Farish Hilman, a new addition to the big family! This was him two months ago-such a smallie-
This is after one month and half months... See how fast he's grown! The last picture just say it all... Stress... Bad (horrible) traffic... Sleep deprivation... just lead to this!

Oh yea- after the minor accident, I find justification to get days off. Eventhough, I won't be celebrating V-day (as usual-working), I am still rooting cheap fares to go somewhere.

The only time I can get off-days is when I get away and have flights booked!

So any interesting travel plans?
