Relaxing..

... until I have to iron my clothes that is.

It was a pretty long week, even though Wednesday was a public holiday.

Tuesday evening, I didn't leave my office until 9:30PM. I and my boss had to make an overseas call to sort some shite out. I was really exhausted but I was loving it. My boss was cool. I mean, he's our Director. He could have told our staff what to do to solve the problems. But he was so kind to ask for my opinions. This's awesome.

I didn't go to the pub after work that day. Too knackered. It turned out to be a good call as my friend told me a couple of days later that someone who I never wanted to see was at the pub that night. Lucky me. :D

Thursday night, I was talking with my friends about going to see Lee when he plays in Singapore sometime soon. It should be fun. Same old sorry faces, my friend. Just one day, we'll be there and scream and sing along, even though you're not that good! Heheheh. That should be fun.

Oh well, I worked hard for the rest of the week. And Monday, I'll get paid! Yippeee!!!!

Walk me out of here..

.. I'm in paiinnnn...

Yeah, tomorrow is public holiday. It's 6:02PM right now. But I'm still at work waiting to make an overseas call about work. My boss will be back here in less than two hours. And all I need is just to bugger off and go home to sleep.

I couldn't really sleep Sunday night. Saturday was my National Washing Clothes day. Sunday was National Ironing Clothes day. I stayed up late on Sunday night ironing my clothes like mad. When I was done (not really done, but needed to bloody stop) around 1:30AM. But I couldn't really sleep until 2:30AM. Might be because of all the adrenaline. Told you I was going mad. :D And woke up again around 3AM when my dad got home. Total time I slept : 3hrs 30mins.

It's kind of weird though that I wasn't too tired in the morning. I worked my arse off all day and went down to the pub in the evening. Spent hours chatting with my friends. It was pretty quiet there at first. But getting better on the second set.

So, I came home late again, but went straight to sleep. No online!! Total time I slept : 5hrs.

I could hardly open my eyes this morning when my stereo started screaming. Actually I fell asleep again. And I woke up 15 minutes late. Oh.. shite..

It must have been my gaurdian angel. The traffic this morning was not too bad. Not bad at all. So, I made it to the office in time. 9AM sharp. Unbelievable. And I didn't even run after a bloody skytrain. Uh la la..

Anyway, I was cranky (excuse my Yankee language) all day as I have been dead tired. I am now totally knackered.

I had planned to go straight home after work. I mean.. 6PM and I was flying out of the bloody door. But nah... my boss asked me this evening what I was going to do at 8PM this evening. I told him I should be arriving at my place - with a big smile on my face as I was actually thinking about ripping my clothes off and jumping into my bed.

Then, I saw an odd smile on his face. And it hit me.. I had heard him talking about phoning our staff overseas... Oh no... not today... not when I was so looking forward to sleeping...

But work is work. It's really important for us to make this phone call. So, okey dokey boss! Let's stay late and help our staff get her shite together!

Well, my boss has been out for a meeting, but will be back in about an hour. Maybe I should go get something to eat first...

I can't help it. I need to sing Robbie's song again.. Help me sing, willya?

"WALK ME OUT OF HERE... I'M IN PAAAIIIINNNNNN..."

:(

Yawwwnn..

I woke up late today.. with all the pains in the world. Arrggg... Save up, save up! I'll move into town!

Too bad I spent all my savings during those months that I was out of work. For what? Don't let me start on that one...

Anyway, I had a really good rest. I did nothing in the afternoon as I was, errr, sleeping again. Told you I would just sleep this weekend! Hehehe. When I could get out of my arse, I went to Muang Thong Thani to pick my kid sister up and to get dinner. It's not too far from my place. Only 10 minutes by car. I drove past the lake in there too. It's where the Carnival used to be. My English mate worked in there for months. But I hadn't got the time or power to go see him there. We're trying to meet up next week though. Gotta meet him again before he buggers off to some other country.

I was being a good girl today. I only slept. And woke up to eat. I did my laundry too! I just had to. I hadn't done it for at least three weeks and my closet was nearly empty. I just had to... before I emptied my sister's closet.

Thursday last week, I got all dressed up to go to work. My colleague asked me if I got a date. No, I hadn't. I told her.. whenever you see me overdress, that only means I haven't done my laundry and I'm running out of clean clothes. :D

So, now, I've got some free time. I've been chatting with friends. So far... the admin of my forum.. my Thai girlfriend.. Lee.. and now my super ex.. I've just realised, other than techie stuff I chatted with my admin, I have been talking about my latest heartache non-stop! I'm even telling my super ex about this guy! Holy crap... what's wrong with me this weekend...

Right.. I should stop now. Or I'll tell the whole world about him too. :D

I've survived..

... this bloody week

Farkin' tired...

I've been on the phone.. replying to tons of emails.. checking up on our spa therapists working overseas.. getting ready to send two more to Europe.. translating stuff for my bosses.. managing a trip for one boss down to Phuket.. VERY TIRED! But still, that didn't stop me from going to the bloody pub. :D

Well, I burned a CD for Lee. So, I had to give it to him. Told him what to listen and practice. He complained the song was so long. Lots of words to remember. Arrggghhh!!!! Whining whining!!!! Has he come this far by complaining?!? Lazy bugger.

He kind of liked the CD though. It's Ronan Keating's 10 years a thousand bloody hits or something. Well, Irish pub.. you gotta sing Irish songs, my friend. Gorgeous Irish singer's songs, if I can be fussy.

I was a really lucky bugger that I got to see Ronan's Live in Concert a few years ago. Front row. I forced my then boyfriend to go see with me. He nearly cried though asking me WTF I was thinking dragging him to Ronan's concert?!? What's wrong with Ronan, you tosser? He's gorgeous. He's sooooo sexy. He's a great singer. He's a great producer. He loves his wife and children dearly....

Oh.. I know now.. He's Irish. Bugger. We just can't have a perfect man, can we? :D

Back to the present..

So, there you go. I went to the pub again yesterday evening. I ran into a girlfriend. But I didn't talk to her much as I was running around the pub looking for Lee. I didn't plan to stay for long....

But once I got to talk to Lee.. I then ran into a few other girlfriends. And I kept yapping away. Lots and lots and lots of things to talk about (read gossip). Jesus Christ.. don't you ladies know I am supposed to go meet another friend? :D

Well, I left the pub to go see this guy. Englishman. I hadn't seen him for so long. About a year I think. It was always nice spending time with him. Well, after letting an American screwing up my accent, now it's time to get back to proper English. :D

Ahh... I worked my arse off again today. Time flew. And now I'm just about to start enjoying my weekend. I'm going to just sleep, sleep and sleep this weekend! Watch me!

Work is grand

Oh man.. I'm so knackered.

Valentine's was nice. I spent the whole evening with my mates at the pub watching Lee Shamrock. I bought flowers for my friend Aime. And for Lee too. We really had a great time. We also met a new friend there. She's Thai. And we chatted all night. Who said we needed a man on Valentine's? :D

Lee Shamrock


As insane as I am, I got back home late and so I got to sleep only four hours. Woke up at 6AM to get to work. Grrrrrr... pain in the arse.

Work has been fun. It's been really long couple of days at work. I even worked through lunch today. I don't mind working hard though. It's kind of fun actually. It takes my mind off things. Well, if there are things on my mind at all.

My boss the Aussie man has been giving me a lot to do. So, my day went by really quick. Everyday. 6PM, and I was totally knackered. The fact that I didn't go to sleep until 2AM three nights in a row was a pain in the arse too. But at least, I had a great time with my friends at the pub on both Monday and Tuesday.

We also met Tets from the Celtic Colours last night. He's a sweetheart. He's a really fantastic violinist. And really nice and friendly Japanese man. He tried to get me up on stage to play something with Lee. I mean, some musical instrument, you naughty bugger! Anyway, I told him if he played his violin, I would play something. Too bad, someone was using his violin upstairs all night. Maybe next time, Tets! :)

My friend Aime sings with Lee pretty often. And sometimes with the Celtic Colours too. She has been persuading me to get up there and have some fun for quite some time now. Maybe lady.. :D

Speaking of the Celtic Colours... hmmm.. I want to see them. Mia the female singer is really really fantastic. I love her voice. Damn, they all are fantastic. I love them.

I just burned a CD for Lee. There's one song.. well, if he wants to practice and play it, I can sing this song! Mind you, my voice is pretty good too. :)

Ahh.. time for bed now. I'll stop by at the pub again tomorrow after work. Should be fun. I'll wear a really nice outfit tomorrow. I dressed really nice last Tuesday. So, jaws dropped and heads turned. I'm going to do it again tomorrow. Hehehehe.

Right... bed is calling...

A new week's coming up

Sunday night again. Another work week is coming up. It's going to be totally challenging at work from now on. Well, I have been "the new admin" for two weeks. "The old admin" has been babysitting me all these times. But tomorrow will be her last day at this company. From Tuesday on.. I will be just "the admin".

Well, I will survive.

I had a good rest this weekend. Fab. But dad asked me to go out shopping for him. He needed to buy a bloody laptop. I went out to check it out on Saturday afternoon. The one he wanted was nowhere to be found. So, I brought all information about other models home for his consideration. Yeah, I went back to the shopping centre again today (once I managed to get out of my arse) to buy one. While I was waiting for the computer guy to install the softwares, I buggered off to those little shops for a little shopping.

I spent some money on stuff I still doubt I will ever use. But what the hell. I had fun. I will find one way or another to use some of those things. Nah, I'll use them all! :D

After waiting (and shopping) for nearly two hours, that bloody laptop was ready to travel home. That's grand. I was getting tired. Back home, I brought that bloody laptop to dad and gave him the change. He checked it and asked me if I was running out of money. You see, I'd been out of work for four bloody months. He knows I have been broke. Anyway, I told him I still had some. He gave me those money anyway.

Actually, right before I started working, he asked me this same question. I didn't answer him that time. And he was totally angry that I was broke but I wouldn't ask for help. I feel like I don't know my own dad sometimes. Very confusing around here. Mum keeps telling me he loves me dearly. But he's just odd and has a very strange way of thinking. Plus, bad tempers too, Mum. You can't forget that one. :D

Anyway, well, tomorrow is my babysitter's last day at work. I don't know if the bosses will take all of us out for lunch. The Thai MD said last week that she would. But she's a really busy businesswoman. Maybe. At least, the Aussie expat will be in the office tomorrow. And the Israeli expat should be in too. She just got back from Mexico this weekend.

Oh, and it's bloody Valentine's too. As usual, I don't have a boyfriend to go all luvly jubly with. I find it odd that, all these years, I could manage to keep a boyfriend the whole year. But when it's close to Valentine's, something just had to happen. So, I never celebrated this bloody day.

When I saw my Norwegian boyfriend, he worked through Christmas. On a bloody ship. Then, got back to Thailand just in time to celebrate New Year's Eve. Then, buggered off again a few weeks later. And worked on that bloody ship on Valentine's too.




When I was with my Canadian boyfriend, he managed to fly back to Canada ON Valentine's. And complained if I had told him earlier that it meant something to me, he would at least try to stay another day. Well, it's not that a big of a deal actually. We had been on holiday every now and then anyway. That was more important than Valentine's.

This year again... I am not seeing anyone. So, I will just work my arse off and go to the pub to see my friends after work. My girlfriend Aime should be there. And there is another poor bugger who has to work at the pub. We will keep each other company through the bloody evening. We'll eat. We'll drink. We'll chat away. We'll have a good laugh. It's just another day at the pub, honest. :D

But I might get something cute for my friends though. If I have time to go shopping tomorrow, that is.

They really did expect me to work

Honest. They did expect me to work when they decided to hire me. Dear me..

I've managed to stay "employed" for two weeks now. Impressive. Hehe.

It's been fun at work. That's really great. I had been out of work for about 4 months. Until I came round and realised I needed to work. After looking around for about a month, I got a job. Now I work for a spa consulting company. My bosses are two Directors (Australian and Israeli) and the Thai MD. My colleagues are nice and friendly. Thank goodness.

Nothing too exciting so far. Only lots and lots of stuff to learn. Soon enough it'll be more challenging. Yesterday was the busiest. My Aussie boss just got back from Mexico. He's Superman. He's so full of energy. Amazing. He got me a lot to do. So, my day went by super fast. It was fun. Being busy is always better than having nothing to do.

I still stopped by at the pubs to see my friends after work during the past two weeks. But guess that'll change from now on. I've been totally knackered from all that. I still live far away from work. That means I have to get up early to travel at least an hour to work and one more hour back home. And staying in town till late at the pubs didn't help. It just made me super tired when I got home.

Me, myself and the gang



So here comes my next mission. I'll try not to get sacked too fast. And I'll look for an apartment close to work. That'll cost me more than travelling back and forth. But it will save some grief from being stuck in the traffic for two hours on a daily basis. I think those extra bills will be worth it. The most difficult part in this is not finding a place, but convincing my parents I'll be fine.

It's just different here. Unlike the West that kids tend to move out once they've turned 18. Not here. Especially, if it's a girl. We're supposed to live in our big family until we get married. Then, move out to live with the husband. My old man is old-fashioned. This one will be tricky. I already told my Mum I would move out soon. She didn't like the idea much. But well, she knows me. So, she won't try to stop me.

I'm supposed to have an old friend flying in from Washington DC end of next week. But I haven't heard from him for a few days now. Don't know if we can meet up. It'd be nice to see him again. Yeah, he's a nice American. Wait until I ask who he voted for. I might have to take my words back. :D

GWB 

New home!

Well, finally, I've got a new home for me blog. Woohoo!

I've been known as elsie for quite some time from a forum. Due to some unbelievably stupid conflicts between two forums, I thought I would leave that old home and find a new one for me blog. So here I am. Start blogging away even though it's getting too late here in Bangkok.

Anyway, just wanted to get a new place for me blog - which I already did. So I guess I'm going to get my beauty sleep now.

See ya'll !!!
