Who knew packaging could be so appealing even by itself!

A visual feast for all brand whores!

Enjoy!!!

Due to the reshuffling of departments in my company, one particular department is shifting out of our care and moving off to report to someone else.

Once I heard this news, immediately I have the feeling of euphoria like as if I suddenly got myself out of a 'bad marriage'! Immediately, the image of all the things/pain that I won't have to face anymore came rushing into my brain and that really felt great! You see, that department in particular was quite isolated from the other departments. The entire department was in HK and basically due to the product which they are managing being very specialized, they virtually could just run their very own government there and no one would have any say to how they run their business. So whenever we need to get any stuff/info from them, especially during our quarterly testing, they would always be the last to provide their test results and not to mention the pain and headache they gave me when it came to the annual certification exercise which I am in charge of doing. So that was really one load off my mind. And I actually spend the rest of the afternoon, after hearing this news, trying to come out with the list of things that belong to them which are to be fully handed over. It's like trying to calculate how much assets you have and giving over what belongs to them. Much like how a divorce is in settling the money and settlements of property. And the relief was just so great! =D

Well, I won't say that I would miss the people there: I haven't really worked with most of them anyway, but the relief from them breaking off from us just totally outweighs everything else!

Last night I probably had 1 of the most horrific nightmares which involved a couple of my friends getting murdered (thrown off buildings and getting stabbed). And the way it was put through was like a detective story, whereby every time you suspect someone, that person actually turns out not to be the real murderer because he ends up dead after a while. Eventually, the real murderer (who turns out to be also a friend) did present himself and a bunch of us were actually present at his 'final' murder: he ended up stabbing someone to death. And while he was doing that, I (in my dream) actually realized that I had a knife in my bag, and I was actually contemplating on whether I should just stab him on the back before he stabs the guy to death. But you know what, after thinking a while, I actually did not do anything. Because I was afraid that after I do it, the murderer will turn his back to face me and stab me back 10 times as hard (yes, in my dream he is that frightening and strong). So because of the 'pain' that I imagined, I did not even try to save the poor guy that was being stabbed to death.

Which really got me thinking (in my dream and later after I awoke), when the time comes or calls for it, will I do the right thing? Sounds so 'heroes'...

Here's a blog entry! After a few months (only 2, mind you) of silence.

I realized recently probably why people might always have the very wrong misconception of me being very picky with guys. One of the reasons is that they might think,"Ok there are surely quite a few guys after her but she's just so picky (must be handsome [like Daniel Wu or Lee Hom caliber], must be interesting, must be able to sing, blah blah blah), that's why she is still single".

But hey! That is so NOT TRUE! 

Firstly, I must tell you, lately or rather since I started working, it has been very difficult for me to get to know new guys. Besides the guys in the office, there is absolutely no chance for me to get to know any other guys. (And mind you, guys from the office are almost all attached, so yes even if I do hang out with them very often and even enjoy their company, it's never going to lead to anywhere.) And because I don't club or excessively go for group outings whereby other guy friends of my friends will be brought along unless it's their boyfriends, I don't get to meet new guys. And no one is bothering to help me in that aspect. Everyone just goes,'Aiyah she's just picky so she is single'. But er... wait a second... how to be picky when there are ZERO choices?! 

But there is something I have to warn is that I actually do have a friend who loves to matchmake me, which I find quite, well, "distasteful". Ok that's quite a strong word to use. But hey, can't it be more of a intro this guy friend into the clique then see who he fancies or which girl fancies him back? It's called "Let nature take its course". And not doing the introductions just to matchmake them off. That's just plain awkward...
