Mundane days = Bitchy days

Life has been pretty much of a routine recently and it's kinda boring =( Time flies at work (especially last week) and 一转眼, it's Friday! TGIF! What else can I do other than bitching in my thoughts when my days are boring enough??

I have been conducting interviews and interviews every other day and it's seriously taxing. Especially when one of the major criteria for the candidates is that they MUST look pretty. It makes me feel that in today's society, if you are neither pretty nor rather pleasant looking and does not make the slightest effort to dress up, you cant get a decent job, or rather something that pays you pretty decently and in a nice environment. Reality is harsh but it's a fact.

天下没有丑女人, 只有懒女人.

This is definitely true to a certain extend as if one does not even have the energy to make themselves look presentable, how hardworking can one be? EVERYONE loves to look at pretty things, be it human or items (Don't talk me about inner beauty. People judge you by the first impression and if you are fat, bad complexion, deep eyebags, no makeup and with BO, NOBODY will think that you have inner beauty as no one, or rather, no man will seriously want to consider "exploring" whatever inner beauty you think you may have.) 

After speaking and looking at 392761655389201 candidates, I simply can't understand why will some people can actually turn up for interviews in shorts and flip flops and absolutely zero makeup, exposing all their acnes, eyebags and seriously bad complexion that is shouting for 995. Do they even think that it is seriously appropriate(C'mon, its an interview! Especially when I put "makeup required" in the ads!)? If one have beautiful complexion and features, I am seriously fine with them coming in with minimal makeup

I am starting to feel sick even looking at them (I know I sound like a bitch)! Let alone wanting to even speak to them. These are seriously inconsiderate as they spoils my day (I am a bitch who Loves pretty things) and makes me feel so demoralised! They should seriously do some self reflection as they are bringing negative energy to this society! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..

I'll just pray that I will have good candidates later.

God bless.

Shopping Sunday

Did I mentioned that I was really excited about going for a shopping trip on Sunday? Well, I was really excited about it as my entire Saturday plans was spoiled all thanks to you-know-who(if any of you doesnt know who I am talking about then it's too bad ;p) and I gotta be in my office to settle some stuffs throughout my entire evening.

My torturous Saturday pasted and Sunday finally arrived! I went to Ion and chiong into Zara. Guess what?? I seriously think that Zara had a change of buyers! 75% of the entire shop carries clothes that is seriously targeted at all the xiao meimeis!!!! The material and designs are so trashy! I couldn't believe my eyes when I was browsing through the collections! They even carry dresses that looked like what a lot of people are selling on the blogshops! Dresses that looked like it's a 2 piece outfit and sewn together. Top is black/white with floral bottom! OMG!!!! If people can get the almost exact same thing for $20, why would they pay $60 for it???? Plus, the material sucks.

Well, people might say that Zara has the TRF collection, Zara and Zara woman collection and not all of them are bad. BUT, only 15% of the Zara collection are normal which means they carries the basic wear like basic pants and cardis and the rest, seriously, are not worth looking at.

After Zara, I shopped around and still didnt manage to get anything. Maybe like what BB says, this season of clothings are just not suitable for me or rather, just not me. We went to rest our feet at TWG.



The ambience is pretty nice and it will be even nicer if it's not so cramp :) Other than the ambience and it's normal tea, I don't think I will go back for any other reasons. Maybe it's just me as I am not an extreme tea lover and I simply don't know how to appreciate foie gras. Alot of their bites consists of that and I seriously don't like the taste of it plus, they have too much 'tea' in everything..even in their macaroons, which is a major turn-off for me.


BB was being adventurous as usual and ordered this lychee with some rose tea (can't remember the name) and it all sound so good! Well, never judge a drink by its name. This drink is super bitter! Yes, BITTER. It looked so innocent, nice and smooth and who will expect this lychee drink to be bitter??

I ordered the Club sandwich which is not too bad, except that all the ingredients (tomatoes, egg and chicken) are not being placed under one portion. It comes in tomato sandwich, chicken sandwich and egg sandwich. Well, it's a club sandwich afterall as it is ALL being placed on a plate. -_-"

Lastly is the macaroons. I am excited as I love macaroons! Well, maybe it's a suay day for me as even the macaroons are not to my liking. The macaroons are infused with tea flavors...and it tasted so weird!

Being deprived of shopping and having an extremely bad day, something finally cheered me up. I finally bought a pair of nice earrings :D


I've been wanting to get a nice pair of earrings for a while and I am glad I didn't get the one from Chanel as it's a little too loud plus there are a zillion people wearing it (both real and fake ones). This pair is sweeter and I like the dark green swarovski crystal with a little "D" hanging over it.

Finally, at least I found something that I like and cheered myself up a little :D

Hope this week will be a great great week! :D
