Allergic to work ;p

Filed under: Uncategorized — by efatrie @ 9:29 pm

Got a little agitated in the morning as I read some emails.

Felt so “wronged” but I have to admit there’s really nothing I can do.

I hate being out of control. When work is the only thing that I can try to do “within control”.

Long weekends make going back to work immensely painful.

Pain until I feel like I have stomach flu -_-

Felt so nauseous that I had to retire early for the day ;p

How to Touch A Girl – JoJo

Filed under: Songs I Like — by efatrie @ 11:44 am

I don’t usually listen to English songs..

But there are a few singers I like, eg. Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Carrie Underwood and JoJo!

Saw this vid while youtube-ing.

 

I think I could like you
I already do
Feelings can grow but
They can go away too
You’re takin my hand
Lookin into my eyes
Don’t be in a rush to
Get me tonight

Feel somethin happenin
Could this be a spark?
To satisfy me baby
Gotta satisfy my heart

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what’s on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You’ll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl

Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

I think I could like you
But I keep holding back
Cause I can’t seem to tell
If you’re fiction or fact
Show me you can laugh
Show me you can cry
Show me who you really are

Deep down inside

Do you feel somethin happenin?
Could this be for real?
I don’t know right now but tonight we’ll reveal

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what’s on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You’ll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl

Bring me some flowers
Conversation for hours
To see if we really connect
And baby if we do
Ooh i’ll be givin all my love to you
Ohh

Do you know how to touch a girl?
If you want me so much
First I have to know
Are you thoughtful and kind?
Do you care what’s on my mind?
Or am I just for show?
You’ll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl

Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl? (yeah, yeah)
Do you know how to touch, know how to touch a girl?

You’ll go far in this world
If you know how to touch a girl

Happy – Leona Lewis

Filed under: Songs I Like — by efatrie @ 7:28 pm

 

Someone once told me that you have to choose
What you win or lose
You can’t have everything
Don’t cha take chances
Might feel the pain
Don’t cha love in vain
Cause love won’t set you free
I could stand by the side
And watch this life pass me by
So unhappy
But safe as could be

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear myself
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I’m just trying to be happy, yeah
Just wanna be happy, yeah

Holding on tightly
Just can’t let it go
Just trying to play my role
Slowly disappear, ohh
All these days I feel like they’re the same
Just different faces, different names
Get me outta here
I can’t stand by your side, ohh no
Watch this life pass me by, pass me by

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear myself
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me
Cause I’m just trying to be happy, ohh, happy, ohh

So and it’s just that I can’t see
The kind of stranger on this road
But don’t say victim
Don’t say anything

So what if it hurts me?
So what if I break down?
So what if this world just throws me off the edge
My feet run out of ground
I gotta find my place
I wanna hear myself
Don’t care about all the pain in front of me

I just wanna be happy
Ohh, yeah, happy, ohh, happy
I just wanna be, ohh
I just wanna be happy
Ohh, happy

If you believe I am too “good” to be real, then probably I am

Sometimes they say, friends may not need to speak a word, yet understood what each other wanted to say…. I totally understand how it feels..

: )

Thanks Lala for meeting up with me so impromptu-ly (hehe), and hearing me speak my mind..

Silly girl actually cried while hearing me, and ended up both of us cried at the table..

;p

Met up with some other of their friends before Lala’s bf sent us back.. I realised I had never laughed like that for so so so  long..

*contented*

I will be strong, my dear.. Thanks for your advices, they are really handy..

I will try again : )

My Not-Very-Typical-Day Day at Work

Filed under: Arghs Work — by efatrie @ 4:10 pm

I guess I feel better after trying to shift my focus.

Though work is insane, I am glad I have some colleagues who are of the same frequency as me.

I asked one of them, is it normal to have never-ending tasks to do. She said yes. And she told me she realised she lost time & friends, as she had to spend lots of time at work during weekdays, and 1 of the weekends to sleep to replenish rest.

I guess the things that are keeping us sane in midst of these insane tasks, are our passion and support we get from each other?

I am not sure about other fields, but very often I realised people from my field needs to be positive, dedicated and passionate about what we are doing, and have power to “multi-task” (which I am still learning! haha!).

When I was in my first job, I often got into conflicts between my work and personal life, simply cos family & friends are not able to understand. I still remembered my then-manager-now-turned-good-friend advised me not to take their comments too personally and just do what we think is right.

I find it so uber useful now, and I am thankful for being in my first job few years back, that shaped me into a determined, positive, cheerful and strong person now.

My close colleague mentioned that we are, perhaps, employed to sort out the messy-ness, and to put things right. It’s tough on us I guess, given that most of us are only in our mid-20s.

Sometimes I feel drained having to cope with my own work – admin, coordinating, executing, communicating and planning – while meeting requests by others. I have yet to reach planning, simply cos the daily “fire fighting” leaves me brain dead before the end of the day.

Just imagine running an A&P department of an “MNC” alone – of coz la, my boss oversees my work and helped me when I am flooded with work that I overlooked.

Yet, after talking to my boss about my feeling that I am not able to cope, she mentioned that perhaps I am giving myself too much pressure. I felt comforted although friends said perhaps she didn’t want to see me go ;p

Perhaps I am too overly concerned about maintaining the brand image and delivering to customers – this is what I am employed for, ain’t it?

Part of my job requires me to communicate effectively and be tactful – which I really really enjoy. This doesn’t come in-born for me, but I am glad these 4 years of working trained me to be a tactful person who considers others’ feelings while we talk.

But I was surprised, and I guess I shocked everyone else who were still in office yesterday night.

We were rushing for the email blast to be, well, literally BLASTED out to the database. Yet I had to stay and verify the contents (which is also my fault as I didn’t ensure timely submission of info).

I was supposed to meet the boyfriend around 7 plus at Tanah Merah. Yet I was still in office at that time, and my colleagues could literally see my face breaking down as I was frantically trying to refresh my inbox every 10 secs.

I was still held up, when it was close to 8pm. Yet I couldn’t speak to my boss cos she was on the phone talking about some tacky issues.

I stood up and declared I am going off. All my colleagues stared at me wide-eyed.

I didn’t care what they will think and what my boss will think. Of course I still delivered what I had to.

I checked my emails and the web on my mobile phone and tried coordinating everything on the cab and while the bf drove us to the SITEX. I was amazed, and my boss decided to leave after I left.

She said thanks for coordinating, and I am glad that she wasn’t angry, cos I left without saying much to her.

I “continued” work this morning as I left things undone yesterday – as I lugged information into my heavy bag yesterday (hahaha).

Haha, so yes, this is A&P for retail business. But, boy, I am glad to be part of the dynamic team (as cheesy as it can sound ;p).

雨爱 – 杨丞琳

Filed under: Songs I Like — by efatrie @ 11:59 pm

窗外的天气
就像是 你多变的表情

下雨了
雨陪我哭泣
看不清
我也不想看清

离开你 我安静的抽离
不忍揭晓的剧情
我的泪流在心里
学会放弃

听雨的声音
一滴滴清晰
你的呼吸象雨滴渗入我的爱里
真希望雨能下不停

让想念继续
让爱变透明
我爱上给我勇气的 Rainie love

久违的雨滴
一滴滴累积
屋内的湿气象储存爱你的记忆
真希望雨能下不停

雨爱的秘密
能一直延续
我相信 我将会看到
彩虹的美丽

分手的情书 – 陈伟联

Filed under: Relationships, Songs I Like — by efatrie @ 11:17 am

“Love” or “Relationship” may be the ever most profound thing ever invented.

How is it that Love is so important for people to give up everything, to risk having hurt, and embracing another person who is just so different from us?

Although I find myself going forward, hesitating and at times moving backwards, I am glad I still have the courage to hold on and explore.

And then I realised, it is not difficult to love me. It’s just difficult to love a person.

: )

* * *

海.. 是蓝色,
云.. 是白色,
树.. 是绿色,
花.. 是红色。
那爱情是什么颜色?

作词:林夕,作曲:陈伟联

聚要吃苦 散要受苦

我闻到你哭 那种温度
寒心得像抚摸 爱的坟墓

想到感情归宿
忘了人情事故
别为仁慈 创造残酷

眼前无路 心中有数
何必继续漫步
你该拥有更轻易的幸福
谈恋爱不是追逐难度
爱如苗圃 命如蜡烛
沿路烧到光秃
是我自私 放不下同甘共苦
也念不出分手的情书

爱值得付出 也能退出
来时紧成露珠 去若晨露
感情美得虚无 就当做身外物
不要让它 变成包袱

我本来是孤独的壁虎
你生来是掌上明珠

你的付出该换来更大满足
如果是这样 不如 不如…

不愛。請閃開 – 蕭亞軒

Filed under: Songs I Like — by efatrie @ 9:32 pm

Other than this mtv…. Elva is really hot!!!

LOL..

Goodbye Bye Bye Tonight 不爱我就 Bye Bye
再重来 火花也不精采
Goodbye Bye Bye Tonight 不爱我请闪开
不要耍赖 像个小孩

你的高姿态 比我高跟鞋还光采
(花心使坏 自以为很帅)
给在多名牌 都比不过噗浪阿宅
(陪我聊天说爱)
楚楚可怜并不是我的招牌 Oh
我的爱拿什麼都无法收买 Oh Baby
我不想和你上演分手擂台 Oh
因为你已被淘汰

Goodbye Bye Bye Tonight 不爱我就 Bye Bye
再重来 火花也不精采
Goodbye Bye Bye Tonight 不爱我请闪开
不要耍赖 像个小孩
Goodbye Bye Bye Tonight 我不是爱情乞丐
我的爱 比你给的慷慨
Goodbye Bye Bye Tonight 我没有欠你债
不想摇摆 不想再忍耐

一个人自在 不用再被精神虐待
(我的风采 只给真爱)
你想要倒带 重新给我一次未来
(你的头脑烧坏)
楚楚可怜并不是我的招牌 Oh
我的爱拿什麼都无法收买 Oh Baby
我不想和你上演分手擂台 Oh
因为你已被淘汰

 

也许连你自己都不明白
你才是爱情里的乞丐
乞求别人给你更多 更多爱
