new toy!!!




registered and proudly named : le kinks or as nicknamed Ah Keen.

j@e at work trying to wave away work tediousness.

one can only plan..

che. markedi has gone for about two months now and since then we've been adjusting to a new boss. a lean snarling 62 year old tiger who snaps just because he can. the changes he made around was swift. he just had to say go and he'd expect things to just fly themselves into place. needless to say i hate his guts but at the same time admire his balls haha!

jokes aside, its been a tough few weeks. i'm pretty drained.

consider this as a list of things i've been up to lately:

1) drag my feet back home everyday afetr wrok feeling like hot steaming fresh shit.
2) entertained with those who matter :- movie, diner, drinks, 5-6 longish phonecalls, ciggreate breaks, playing host to weekend sleepover, weddings, saved kicked-out kids (which resulted to a scuffle between thier father in a police station), swam at the pool and yes many many msn chats with biks too.
3) saw a physical meltdown and doubted myself if i really had nursing abilities. poor kama had to deal with a chick on domesticity overdrive.
4) bought a kinldle! and won the office raffle becoming the proud owner of a toshiba regza at1s0 tablet!!!! \YEARGHHHH!/
5) battling with loading my vpn installer at the workdesk and tablet so that i can surf on amazon in peace! damn you U.S my ASS stupid capitalistic aims!
6) in despair over the measly 19 titles (it seems suspicious that it says 23 items on my kindle now) that i have on my kindle:-

  • The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1859-1930
  • Alice's Adventure In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll

  • The Idiot, Fyodor Dostoyevsky

  • A Scarlet Bride, Slyvia McDaniel [read: it was bad that i kept asking myself why the hell do i read thrashy novels like this]

7) gained a wee little brother in getting to know mr. comando the intern at work. 
8) really in awe of the humourous and happy people on g+. they puctuate my work days with mirthful laughter and make it bearable (urgh!) 
9) working my ass off with biks at the gym and yoga mats, of which i've missed the last 3 classes and managed to lose 1kg in 2 months. heh. 
10) watched tons of cat videos, gifs, notes and every what have yous memes online. 

so simply tired and in need of a head to toe treatment of the only kind from the tomcat but i'd settle for an overnight stay with at least 6 hour long spa treat in batam! *le sigh* well respite is at least this weekend where its no work, no terrors and hello~~ bongonia. plan is to sleep, play with cats and seek a spot of sun. hopefully we can both will the strength (please weather be fair) to commit fully to doing nothing at all. 

bestest sane,
