yawn! Thursday..... still got 2 days to Sunday.
Not like im looking forward to Sunday coz Monday is approaching. But its the only day i can sleep late.
Anyway, last weekend was rather sucky.
Y?? Y bad things always happened to me.. Good things... come.. approach me..

Last Saturday was supposed to be a fun day. My cousin wanted me to teach her knitting as she wanted to make a scarf for her friend. Haa... i was telling Yilin that im helping her to spread the knitting culture.
My cousin planned to stay over at my house and i was very excited about it. It has been years... yar years... that we actually did that. We used to be really close when we were much younger.. n had the usual "sister fights". You knw.. like jealous of each other toys.. hahaa... those were the days. So its kinda fun to have her at my house. "New" house.

During office, something really irritating happened. My boss emailed me a new task that i had to complete by Monday.
Which means..... NO WEEKEND FOR ME!!!! WTF!!! You guys may think that i am stupid. Yes, indeed im. But when it comes to work, i really want and will make it effort to do a proper job. What made me really mad is the attitude that my boss gave me. Suay, she got mood swing that day and wasn't nice at all. Talked in a very commanding tone.. machiam i owe her.

this is what she wrote:

Dear Grace,
Pls do the following:

1) complete your website design by monday 2pm.
2) compile the HP contact list of the members by monday 10am.

Thanks.
------------------------------------------------------------

You see.. if she ask in a better way like "Sorry for the late request.. this web design is very urgent. Would appreciate if you can rush this design by monday... etc... " i will definitely do it with more zest.


So i did the design.. with a very BU SHUANG attitude. I slept at 5am!! Same goes for my cousin.. but she was doing the knitting lah... hahaha.. Then we woke up at about 10.30.. she packed and left my house shortly after.... while i got ready to go out.

Had a sec sch gathering at Bishan Junction 8. Haiz... quite far from my house and I ended up taking a cab down becoz i was very very late. Nice to meet up with my friends.. though we are not very close with them to begin with. Just a simple lunch, some crapping and photo taking... and I left at bout 2+.

Hmm.. when i reached home, it was all on doing household cleaning again. What to do.. full time Maria.. free labour somemore. After that i had dinner and watched Spiderman... nice show... worth watching again. Then its back to my office work... do n do til 3+... by that time... im already very dead.... but im happy becoz i completed what i wanted to.

i thought monday will be a gd day... becoz i completed my task... but what i never expected....
a nerve-breaking news that is about to befall on me..

After lunch, i told my boss that i had emailed her the web design... and guess what she said:
"oh yar.. i saw that... erm.. KIV 1st.. becoz i dun think we will be organising the event afterall... its very difficult to do.."
guess whats my reaction??

i said " oh okie..." YES.. that all i could mutter! its like i no longer have any feelings.. any reaction... maybe im numb about that already. Indeed im very pissed, heart-broken that my effort have gone to waste.. but somehow i did not react like i normally will. Yar.. im still having grudge on my wasted effort.. else i wun be lamenting here.. i mean weekends are very precious to me.. especially now that im working as maria. Argghhhhhh~!!!~!~!~

haiz.. anyway, i was on mc yesterday.. a bit unwell... but more on the thought that i dun feel like gng to work.
i hope things will turn out fine as the weekend is approaching again.

Got 1 happy news to share. i participated in a design competition! Its the Digital Design'05. Design a skin for iriver mp3 player. Had fun doing that although i wish i got more time to do it. *back to cursing on my wasted weekend*. haha..
Not important if i win or not.. most likely not.. becoz it dun really fit into the theme... hhaha ..
the things i design is quite morbid.. and that is my style.. hard to change..
What im really happy is that i have fulfiled a small dream of mine and that is to take part in a design competition! keke..

Thanks to my great pal Hilary, who helped me with the writing of the description. Her English is so much better than mine.
