Loopie - Joop

got my letter last night. in monetary terms it was better than i'd expected. i guess i brought it upon myself thru my wilful ways. switching divs was such a relief then, but now, i think i've derailed my prospects. what to do? made that decision, i have to live with it. woohoo... had a prep talk from my colleague after. she meant well, but i wasn't in the mood to listen. it's now really up to me. should i actively suss out projects to do? to do the monkey business of show and tell to bosses? i obviously have no projects this year, so how to show and tell? do i really want to?

Just returned from my colleague/long-time-friend's wedding at marriot. she looked very pretty, all grown up in her wedding gowns... saw so many of those ppl whom i'd worked with too.. haha they're the same happy bunch. sad to say, dinner at wedding dinners are seldom good. the best i've had so far was at sheraton towers. tonight's dishes were a little below par. looking forward to planning for our own wedding. should be pretty simple. prob a long trained gown for the wedding rite, then a shorter gown for the reception. we're not planning a chinese dinner, so 100 times less hassle. just need:- photographer/videographer caterer gowns/suit make-up and hair That's it. that's all. shouldn't be that difficult right? of course will need some help ushering and coordinating the thingie. but not that bad right? was looking at some of the photographers. avenue 8 ( www.avenue8.com.sg ) seems the most promising. will check that out soon. was thinki...

Went bonkas when i heard that the consultant at denticare wanted to charge me $500 per bottom wisdom tooth and up to $100 per upper tooth. yikes! sounded damn painful even before the process of extraction had begun. didn't buy the argument that a) he's that good and b) bottom teeth are very hard to extract. in any case did not hear of ppl paying through their noses for dental surgery. so made some calls, hao-e made some as well. and found that in order to qualify for subsidies, i had to get a referral from the polyclinic, then make my way to natl dental care at outram park to see the dentist/surgeon there. the costs would not add up to a thousand and after medisave subsidies i should pay only less than $300. sounds good to me. except that now i have to queue up at the polyclinic at bedok, prob spend half a day there to see a doctor just to get a referral letter from him/her. sighs.

Slept from 10pm last night, after nodding off during the movie "Qian Ji Bian" (some hong kong show that had ppl kicking vampires' butts). it was supposed to be a nice movie. but then, i was too too tired. damn. will watch it again tonight. awoke at 2am to switch off the telly and put chewy back in her cage. she's so endearing nowadays. jumping onto our laps and snuggling between us. hope she stays this way for a long time. i think we'll be very sad if we lose her. am reading this book called "Anyone out there?" by Marian Keyes. she's my fav author. she's irish and very funny. i'm at the low point in the story now, where the protaganist is trying to come to terms with losing her hubby/soul-mate. so it's not so funny now. i've read most of her books, they're not like the shopaholic series (which i was crazy about a few years back). not bimbotic, more neurotic. all the same, i was disturbed by this story, cos i can...

It's official, my 4 very unwise teeth are to be axed. gulp! now for the timing. when shall i do it? april? or may? better book my holiday first. then decide on a date like 2-3 weeks after. how's that?

Much Ado about Nothing... that was all of today. i'm a paper churning machine. i write for a living. ppl depend on what i write. therefore i'm a writer. right? yah right

i'm blogging from home... cos of cramps . took the morning off, now thinks mornings are so short... looks like i'm going back to work again soon. sigh.. will be off to the dentist (the dreaded one) later at 11.00am for an x-ray. see how many unwise teeth i really hv... projected arr time: 12 nn. opg finish at: 12.30 pm. back to office for quick bite and off to BT again. sigh... need a break. i'm going back to sleep
