Evil?

It’s funny.. I was just thinking about the nature of a marketing personnel’s jobscope..

Are we doing everything and anything to get sales?

And if you are familiar with my personality, I have to say I really tried striking a balance while at work.. But of course, I couldn’t deny the “happiness” within when we see the growth in sales..

Seth Godin came out with this article: Is Marketing Evil? I’d say it’s quite amazing..

Random Tots Fill My Mind

Random thoughts before boarding plane in about 36 hours:

1. Ning asked me go Japan find kakkoii guys.. But this morning my Japanese boss asked “you changed your hairstyle? looks more kawaii!”.. =.= I think I always attract ojisan.. SO……..

2. I haven’t bought tights & chemical warmer for winter..

3. I haven’t done my research – what cosmetics to buy in Japan, where to go in Tokyo.. Anyone has any idea, PLS let me know..

4. I haven’t gone through my stuff, just in case I get any question during the meeting.. Ya know, cannot malu..

5. I haven’t charge the new camera I got during X’mas 08 lucky draw..

6. I haven’t pack my luggage..

難得 – aLin

Had been listening to different singers and songs lately, because I need to find out the “different ways” of how a note can be sang..

Teeheehee.. Actually it had been a great while to have taken up the vocal class.. Not apsiring to be a “singer-wanna-be”.. But it truly made me look at singing (contemporary pop) differently..

: P

I particularly liked how aLin sang this song + the ending of the MV.. Usually singers need to sing louder in chorus, but in the first chorus of the song, I can feel the “compressed” voice which expressed the pain even further.. (I hope it was not the machines at work)

我還記得 我挽著你的手
天冷時候 一起躲在棉被中
那時我們不害怕犯錯
那時以為天空多遼闊

朋友都說 你后來變真多
總是避談 純真坦白那時候
體貼的人 不再追問我
只說你也有夢 他也有夢
雖然難得 不必心痛

我以為我成熟 以為從此就自由
我嘗試著快樂 快樂卻不陪著我
愛沒有回來了 你已經離開我
回憶緊緊纏著我 像當初不肯放手

我以為我成熟 以為我能好好過
我嘗試著墮落 當我想你的時候
愛不會回來了 你已經離開我
卻一直住在我心中

如果傻傻的承諾 現在還在一起嗎
情侶齟齬常常有
如果寂寞的時候 已經學會去推托
他也有夢 我也有夢
雖然難得 不必心痛

我以為我成熟 以為從此就自由
我嘗試著快樂 快樂卻不陪著我
愛沒有回來了 你已經離開我
卻一直住在我心中

愛不會回來了 你已經離開我
卻一直住在我心中
這樣的愛實在難得

New (Permed) Hair

I permed my hair. (OMGOMGOMGOMG)

Following the permed hair disaster, like 4 years ago, which was eventually straightened after my Melbourne trip, I never permed my hair again (walao, wat a long sentence.. ahahahha)..

This picture looks like I have black hair, but in actual fact, I colored it.. It is dark brown with copper tone..

Teeheehee… I think I officially look like my age, if not, auntie.. Hurhurhur..

Don’t call me xiaomeimei anymore!!

My hairstylist nearly fainted when his colleague asked if I am very young..

Oh, and I think Milani’s mineral compact is really good.. A 3rd person complimented my complexion again (while washing my hair, hahahah)!

Woohoohoohoooooo

Got my air tix today!

Travelling by JAL, and our ED’s secretary is very nice – She gave us the business class lounge passes (FREE FOOD)!! Wahhahahahaha..

Now I need to confirm my outfits, go buy the luggage, chemical warmer, toiletries, leggings, flats, ziplock bags, change Yen (I hope the equivalent Yen of SGD 1.2k is enough).. Maybe I need somemore sweaters.. Heard the temperature is quite low.. Gosh…..

Oh ya.. Sidetrack, but I have received compliments on my complexion these 2 days! I think Milani’s mineral compact is really amazing..

I met someone who was proposing sponsorship to us, and she said she thought I was a Japanese ‘cos of the “fair complexion”.. Wa sei, how nice of that person..

Oh…. And I am perming my hair tmr!!

Double woohoo!

Gila Swiss???

Me and colleague laughed until stomach pain + tears rolling down this afternoon..

I was browsing through the new magazines, and happened to see this feature in FHM Mar-09 issue..

It talked about this “watch” made from the ruins of Titanic.. I seriously do not know if this is real, or if this is a joke.. FHM labeled the watch THE IDIOT, and was so sarcastic! LOL.

It was said that the watch canot tell the time, except to tell Day & Night (which very obviously everyone of us can know).. In between the paragraph, I actually saw PIANG EH.

Hahahhaaha..

Somemore…. The brand was…….

GILA SWISS WATCH.

Hahahahha!!!

I should scan that page sia….

Edited: OMG. It’s a real “watch”!

Only One

I’m feeling quite “no life” having blogged so many times in a day (hahah)..

Anyway…. I have always been very “obsessed” or gan chiong over the feeling of “loss”.. I don’t like uncertainty, and the feeling of “possibility of losing” something or someone..

But since I have let nature take its course, I feel happier..

And I realised, perhaps after all, I have not lost “it” yet.. Perhaps all this while, it had always been within my grasp..

*loved*

你的好 我从前怎么看 不到
看不到 总以为爱在天涯海角
回头却在 你温柔里 找到
渴望被你拥抱 可以爱你 多好

不明了 你从来不说你 累了
你累了 也预留肩膀让我依靠
你的笑倒影 了我的 微笑
我会有多重要 因为有你才知道

也许这101次错过的玩笑
只为遇到你温暖的怀抱！

Only One, Only Love
You’re everything I care
把全世界放掉 又有什么重要
Only One, Only Love
You’re the only one I love
现在只想听到 你亲口再说 一声好

究竟 要转多少次
那生命 的转角
才感觉到 爱情真的 来到

Only One, Only Love
You’re everything I care
把全世界放掉 又有什么重要
Only One, Only Love
You’re the only one I love
现在只想听到 你亲口再说 一声好

Say yes…

Fashion House

So I was out almost the whole day..

I am grateful to our boss, for “planting” me into the meeting today.. ‘Cos one of the staff from Tokyo HQ came for market research, and today they were supposed to have meet-ups and discuss about fashion trends in Singapore..

And it so happened I am totally clueless about the street fashion brands that they brought up.. ‘Cos I am too commercialised (hahha) – I only know Zara, Mango, Forever 21, Topshop, etc..

A lady asked me: are you familiar with the fashion brands?

I swear I almost die from embarrassment in the cab.. >.<

My ex-mgr who hired and oriented me, ever mentioned to me that our brands are in the “young fashion” category…

Well…..

FASHION…

‘Cos I have been frequently mistaken as younger than my actual age, I often try to dress more “maturely”.. It was only recently I realised that from “mature”, I gradually shifted to being “auntie fashion”..

I must jump out from the lao auntie mode!!!!

我心動了 / I’m Sorry

I’ve been listening to old songs these days…

Realised there were so many songs that I used to like, but had forgotten about.. My memory is freaking me out..

順子 & Ben – 我心動了

我怎么形容 心中的感受
用一个眼神 一个动作 你都懂
越来越渴望遇到 会 懂得我的人
却越来越难遇到 在 我生活之中
我怎么形容 你给我的感受
不只像朋友 比知己浓
不会错 不会错 我心动了
只有你的手能抚慰 我 多年的寂寞
只有你的吻能解开 我 过往的忧愁
我们都尝过 爱情 给的挫折
流过了泪 躲藏过
直到心愈合 冷静 等待结果
谁能真懂我 让我心动

順子 – I’m Sorry

常想起来你和我那段爱情
我总掉入深深的沉默里
我很久没有流泪的勇气
和爱情保持距离

i’m sorry, so sorry
如果我曾伤你
i’ll borrow your sorrow
当爱已远去
我发现我习惯隐藏忧郁
也许是怕泄漏了原因
已经过了那么多个冬季
不应该还惦记着你
i’m sorry, so sorry
我是如此爱你
i’ll borrow your sorrow
痛一直到如今

偶而我还在梦里
一如往昔你紧紧拥抱我在怀里
心中充满了太多感慨
一切都从新再来
永远都不再彼此伤爱

i’m sorry, so sorry
如果我曾伤你
i’ll borrow your sorrow
当爱已远去当爱已远去
said i’m sorry, i’m so sorry
我是如此我是如此爱你
i’ll borrow, i will borrow your sorrow
痛一直到如今

Shills Black Mask + Milani Compact

Bought these yesterday!

Somehow I feel that it is not really worth the price.. It’s selling at S$ 21.50, but it feels very “empty” inside.. Like when you squeeze the contents out from the tube, you feel like there is alot of air inside..

I also bought Milani!! Weirdly, as Milani came into Singapore when my passion (and time) for cosmetics sizzled off, I didn’t buy any of Milani’s items..

I hope it’s good; it’s talc-free mineral..

I was wondering if I should buy less of counter/commercialised skincare and make-up, to switch to more organic skincare/mineral makeup..

And yes, the rose day cream I bought from bud Cosmetics is quite nice! It totally soothes my flaky skin from the eczema outbreak.. The cleansing milk makes my skin very smooth too.. Teeheeheeee..

Right.. Haven’t you geddit?

The bimbo in me is backkkkkk.. LOL.
