If I Never See Your Face Again

"..If I never see your face again, I don't mind. Cause we've gone much further than I thought we'll get tonight..."

My favorite song out of Maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" album with a twist!

Rihanna is in it! Whees~ I couldn't believe my ears when I heard it on the radio while bathing. I thought the DJ must have made some mistake. UNTIL! I heard Rihanna's voice.

Well....I don't think their voice goes with each other's. But this song is meant to be a "duet" so it sounds more right and sexxay with a lady voice!(:

The video is not that fantabulous. Rihanna looked sexy in a few selected scenes. But the lead singer looks pretty good.

Anyways, ENJOY!

"...you're not my type but you can make me sway..."

Nicest Colleagues(:

Ever since yesterday afternoon, my mood has (had?) been pretty lousy. Probably due to a combination of factors such as the weather, fatigue and coke withdrawal.

I guess I must have looked and sound less cheery and bright than usual. My colleagues (or the uncles and aunties as I like to call them) noticed.

They are quite nice about it too(:

There's this colleague called Mr Koh whom I find pretty scary. He has those no nonsense kind of look and never talk to me or even smile at me like the others. But today, he came to my cubicle (my desk) and used the excuse of passing me a ATM instruction manual to talk to me(: And he smiled at me!

And then, another uncle and auntie came to my cubicle and offered me cakes! (: Chocolate and blueberry cakes at that!!! Whees~

Of course, my supervisor came over to pass me some chocolates from Switzerland!

Ohmy. How am I suppose to keep my chocolate ban? :D

The Twitter Dilemma.

I am feeling emo. And so as not to translate my emo-ness here today because this is a non-emo blog! So, I saw this pre-prepared post from 2 weeks ago. Here goes :

How useful Twitter is (are?) to you all boils down to the people you follow.

I mentioned in my AB214 presentation that one advantage of using Twitter is that you can receive/hear about news before they break. And you can hear the stuff that is not usually published on newspaper.

All these advantages are only yours IF you follow the right people.

But, how do you know who is the right person to follow? Unless you have been dabbling in the circle (locally and globally) for quite some time, it’s pretty hard to dice out and sieve out whom to follow. Especially if you are a newbie like me.

Of course, you can follow everyone who follows you and occasionally “snoop” around your friends’ followers or people they are following. Or use TweetScan to search for people who have the same interest as you (absolutely not reliable, in my opinion. find out why at end of post).

Eventually, you will end up following a huge number of people. Flooded with tweets left, right and center. Important tweets, useful tweets, garbage tweets. All these will end up flooding you and covering up tweet updates from friends.

So how? Any solutions? *shrugs*

To me, I am getting slightly tired of Twitter? Don’t get me wrong. I still like it because (as previously mentioned) I can post my snapshot thoughts there. But it’s not catching on with my friends! And I am shy(my friends are so going to die from laughter) and anti-social (okay, I just take a long time to warm up to people) so I am lazy to go actively hunt for friends.

Then there’s all those problems is facing these days.

It’s starting to irritate me *sigh*

I am sick of seeing this:

It used to be kind of cute! But after awhile, it's just BLEH!

Ok, Huishan, over and out!!

*Now, I know TweetScan allows to search for people to follow based on keywords or topics. But how reliable is that? For example, I am looking for someone who is as much of a ANTM fan as I am. So I go to TweetScan and search for "ANTM", and say..I found one and I decided to follow him since I think he likes ANTM too. BUT! It turns out that THAT was the only time he tweets about ANTM. It's a total waste of time?

WITS Presentation.

You know presentation is my first love after chocolate got dumped a few months back.

My supervisor very nicely invited me to a WITS presentation today(: WITS was a very HUGE deal back in secondary school. And apparently, it's quite a HUGE deal here too.

ANYWAY! Today is the day where teams from all the departments came to pitch their presentation to the judges. The winner team will move on to compete with teams from other boards.

I missed the first two presentations but the rest of the presentations are pretty okay but disappointing as well?

Presentation slides have poor color coordination, unreadable slides, improper alignment and all the little tiny faults in presentations that I hate and is/are essential to ensure that the PowerPoint will flow. I mean, RED background and BLACK words! HELLO?

Aesthetics aside. Their presentation skills are dull? They didn't stand up to present. They read from the script. Zero eye contact. No vocal texture. No body language *sigh* They didn't explain the charts!!

Into the project. I realised all of them need to attend HP102 and AB213 badly. To ensure the validity and reliability of their research and to increase the impact of their presentation(:

Okay, there's one team that is not too bad. But they are the only team with youngsters in it. So yeah. No offence, if any!

Anyways, it seems that the judges are set to have that team win even before they present? It was rather obvious because they just kind of schmooz and jump over the "comments from the floor" part.

HEY! I had some questions to asked! Like how do they attribute the increase in visitor counts to the website is unique? How do they ensure that the increase in number of tickets bought is because of increased number of buyers and not increased tickets bought by the same buyers? The figures are really questionable!

But the Q&A session was fogged over and I didn't get a chance to ask?

This just in! The young team won. BLEHS! I was rooting for mine!

*sigh* I thought I will be wow-ed away by my first exposure to "professional" presentations. But I'm not.

Anyhows, going to this presentation makes me realized that.....I miss presenting :(

When I'm 64(:

Been hearing it quite alot on Perfect 10. It's such a sweet song eh?

I'm such a sucker for oldies(:

the brother unit and I are angry.

The brother unit and I are angry with (at) my sister tonight.

Because as usual she is acting like a kid again. Both of us are angry at her and at our parents. We are angry that they pay attention to her every wimps and moans. It makes us feel kind of stupid for always forcing ourselves to be independent when they are more than happy for us my sister to be reliant on them.

We are not jealous.

Just angry with our sister.

Tonight, for example. She's got a toothache. Okay, fine. Maybe it was really painful. But it's 9pm at night! And she whines and made such a fuss over it that my mum got worry. So at 10pm, both of them rushed down to some dental clinic that opens till late.

Then the dentist told them that it's a wisdom tooth and they can have it removed tomorrow. But no! The sister wants it to remove now! Ignoring the fact that my mum is probably tired. So okay, they had the tooth removed immediately. And they just came home at 1am.

And when she came home, she keeps going on and on and on about how painful it is. She tried to not only whine to the parents but to the brother unit and me too. But both of us are pissed off at a) how inconsiderate she is to my mum and b) for acting like a kid. So we just ignored her.

Then she went to cry to my mum and my mum got mad at the brother unit and I. She asked us why we can't we be more considerate to my sister. And we are like o.O

I mean, come on! The brother unit removed 2 of his wisdom tooth on the same day last year and he could take care of himself! I had 4 of my teeth removed for braces and I took care of myself! I don't need my mum or dad to bring me my painkillers. OR! Worry about me! OR! Keep asking my mum to bring me back to the dentist because the pain was unbearable.

It was pain. But so what?! DEAL WITH IT!

Seriously. *sigh* Bed!

Bitch.

This is me. Ranting.

I really cannot stand couples. HUH? Yes, COUPLES!

Call it a case of sour grapes (吃不到葡萄，说葡萄酸) if you must. But I really can't stand couples.

Then again, maybe it's not couples that I can't stand.

It's the whole....erm....weak part that I can't stand. How should I put it?

I think the independent and bitchy part of me is at work again.

I feel like slapping people who are emo. Feel like slapping people who pretends to be helpless. Who victimize themselves. Who are wishy-washy. Who are not direct. Who play games (not games games. But you know).

Because to me, these people are just attention seeking lo*coughs*sers.

I detest them and they get on my nerves.

Get over yourself. Get things done.

Whatever.

It's precisely because of my character that I am not a girlfriend material. Most of my guy friends tell me that. I am more fling material. Haa bloody haa.
