Monday Blues

What is it with Mondays? They always make me blue.

Don't get me wrong. I love my job. But still... sometimes, I'm just blue.

It was a pretty long week at work. It's not easy already to complete all my jobs on a daily basis. Sometimes, others just fcuk up and give you extra work when you least need it. Well, if we ever need extra work at all. Like last week, the very last minute at work, someone from another company just fcuked it up big time. I had already confirmed everyone the schedule for Tuesday. And that certain someone just fcuked it up and told me the last minute of the week that we have to change it to Wednesday. Thank you very much.

Next week is going to be crazy as usual. I hope the atmosphere at work will be all right. We're all stressed out. But we still try to keep our senses of humour. Well, maybe I should try to keep mine with me though. Seems my sense of humour is a bit too dry sometimes.

I'm planning to go away next weekend. It's long weekend. Yippee. At first I thought I would go to Pattaya for two nights as it's just so close to Bangkok. Then, my friend Aime is going to Krabi with a few friends. Uhhh.. tempting.. tempting..

I'll try to decide quick as to where to go. Should be nice to go to Krabi though...

So it wasn't me

I've been chatting with a few friends of mine - friends who I totally trust - about the whole crap in my earlier entry.

So it wasn't me...

It was them playing mind games with me...

It was them lying to me...

It's kind of sick that they basically baited me. They wanted my reactions about some certain thing. And they did. Now, one is totally mad at me. The other is still being quiet after I've confronted her with the lies. What's wrong with these two? The whole thing is pretty sick in my book. Even a very level-headed friend of mine said it's wrong of them to play with me like that.

I just hope that if I run into her tomorrow at the pub, things won't get too ugly. I am not very patient. Very little when I'm dealing with liars. But I'll try to stay calm.

That poor bugger - Lee - will probably have to tie me up. :D

Anyway, I've made a decision. And I stand by it.

Good riddance.

Things seem to be wrong.. still..

Is it me or people, sometimes I wonder?

Everything in my life seems to still be wrong. Well, not exactly everything. Just almost.

People who have never heard of the word - Considerate.

People who are into backstabbing.

People who lie through their teeth.

People who treat me like a retard.

People who play stupid mind games with me.

Oh.. I guess I should use Friends instead of People so you'll get a better picture.

I've chatted with my friend Ian... that diplomatic friend of mine... about it all. :D

These people are really good at confusing me. They have their own ways to make me wonder if it was me. I've evaluated the whole thing. Well, things. To see who to keep and who to go. I can't afford having backstabbers around. I just can't. Some people are just not worth it. And I am even more sure when I discovered more lies.

Deception..

I mean.. It's not supposed to happen among friends right?

So, I now have less friends than this morning. But I guess I can live with it.

Good riddance.

Happy Songkran

Last day of the festival.. but well.. I've just recovered.. I mean, trying to.

If you have never heard about Songkran, you can find some information here..

I worked only on Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday was really slow at work. Everyone was looking forward to the big holiday.

Since the holiday was coming up, I managed to go out with a few friends on Tuesday evening. We were really pissed. I had to stay the night at a friend's place - as I would be pulled over in 5 minutes if I drove.

The next day (Wednesday) was for recovering. Bangkok was really quiet. Lots and lots of people left the city to celebrate Thai New Year elsewhere. Be it their hometowns, or just a holiday.

On Thursday, I was heading to Pattaya with Cameron. We were going to meet a few more friends there. One of our friends, David, owns The Blue Factory. So, we tend to go there every now and then to get pissed. Cool place. Great music. One certain musician to be mentioned is indeed Lam Morrison - Guitar King. Just every time I was there, I had to ask him to play Somewhere Over The Rainbow. That's my favourite. He simply took my breath away. No words to be sung. Only his guitar... and the band.

Songkran in Pattaya was quite fun. But I have to say that it used to be crazier. I spent a whole Songkran in Pattaya before. Probably 2 or 3 years ago. It was totally mad. Traffic was a real nightmare. This year... of course, I got all wet. But the whole thing wasn't as crazy. Traffic wasn't as bad. Odd. Maybe people went up North more this year.

Bad news, I didn't take my medications with me. So, after staying soaking wet in the heat yesterday, plus getting pissed at the Blues Factory last night, today I feel really bad. My head hurts. I feel like a cold is coming.

If everything went all right, it wouldn't be my life. So, of course, there was a misadventure (or two) during the whole thing. But that's not supposed to be published...

Happy Songkran, folks.

Stay wet!

Oh.. finally.. my weekend..

Oh my beloved weekend.. you have no idea how much I was looking forward to meeting you..

It's been a very odd week at work indeed. Everything seemed to go wrong. Very wrong. I didn't scream at anyone though. But the first time since I've got this job that I really did want to cry. And actually I nearly did. That was Thursday.

Bosses were nice and supportive. So I just tried my best to handle it all without shedding any tears.

In the evening, when I was still so down, I was getting ready for a date. My friend, Ian, was assuring me I was going to have a good time and I would feel better. I sat at work until 8PM trying to get some work done, but I was so down I couldn't focus on anything. Time to leave, so.. I left.

I headed to the pub to meet my date. We've known each other for years. But he's not based in Bangkok. So, I sometimes flew down there to see him. Or we just met up here whenever he came up to Bangkok.

We sat and chatted at the pub for an hour. With some friends coming to talk to. He called me "Ms. Popular". :D

Then, we were off to Vertigo for dinner. We argued most of the time in the cab as to which way to go to Banyan Tree. :D

I said right. He said left. I was 150% sure we had to turn right. But he believed it's left. The cabbie was on his side. And at the junction.... my date pointed at something on the left and went.. "Oh.. Look at that building. It has Banyan Tree's logo on it! See the green thing?"

Get stuffed, sweetheart. :D

On the way up to Vertigo (on 61st Fl.), we were cruising the lobby and everything. Very nice indeed. I'd reserved a table for us, under his name. The staff were really polite and pleasant. When we were shown to our table, we couldn't be happier. It's just perfect. It's on the top of the top. Right in a corner. Very romantic. And no one was blocking our view. Spectacular.

We had a great time. Enjoyed our evening so much. The food wasn't impressive. But I just loved the view.. the fresh air up there.. the sky (even though we couldn't see more than three stars).. It just made me feel like.. I was so very close to the sky..

Ian was right.

It was a very lovely evening. And it made me feel so much better...

Rude people

I went down to the pub to see my friends yesterday as I kind of wanted some entertainment. So I did.

It was a fun night. Until late... people were getting way too pissed...

I was getting ready to go home as I was really knackered. So, I went to the Ladies. When I got back... Oops... there's this strange cable on the floor? Where did it come from? So, I paused and looked carefully where I was going. Then, someone pushed me. Real hard. I was like.. WTF?!?

I turned back to see who pushed me. It was some drunk French man. Apparently, he was chatting with the Manager and I happened to pause between them while they were chatting. Therefore, he pushed me to get out of the way!?!

The Manager saw the expressions on my face (and plus "What the f..." that I slipped out), she said "You know him. Nothing personal, Kay."

I sat for a while to take it all in. Then, I realised it was downright rude and I didn't really know him. This jerk needed to learn a lesson or two. But the Manager was trying to cool things off before. So, I walked up to her and told her "This time I'll let him walk. But if he does it again, I won't bite my tongue."

She understood. And I promise, if he gets nasty or rude to me again, he'll regret it for the rest of his life.

Jesus Christ... and he pushed me so hard that it still hurt even an hour later!!!

:(

Exhausted

I am so so so knackered. Last Thursday, I was really busy at work. As our client was at the office all day, I couldn't leave the office. I had to ask the maid to go to the bank for me - as it was pay day. But it was fun though. The client was really pretty and nice. Had good fun at work, even though pretty busy.

In the evening, I had a party with my friends. It turned out to be a fantastic night. We had loads of fun and laughed most of the time. More people turned up than I had expected. Cool!!


Party Posted by Hello


My good friend, Cameron, just got back from Cambodia. I was totally happy to see him again. Last time I saw him was... October last year. He's had so many ups and downs in his life too. But he's a nice bloke, nonetheless.

Cameron & Me Posted by Hello



When he walked in that night, we just hugged each other tight for minutes. All good friends of mine were there. I was having a blast. I even drank! Three pints! Even Cameron noticed I was more lively than usual. Believe it or not, I'm pretty quiet in real life. :D

David, Nat and Me Posted by Hello



After closing time, we moved on to some other place and had another beer. I was so pissed. Lightweight you say? Oui! Give me a break! I haven't been drinking THAT much lately! :D

I stayed the night with Nat (again) as I was too pissed and it was way too late to go home. Besides, Nat's (actually it's Aime's place) was closer to my work than my place was. So..

By the time we got to the apartment, got changed, did some talking before bedtime... it's about 4AM already. I was so going to be late for work in the morning..

And so I was...

I showed up at work looking like shite. Totally like shite. No make-up. Greasy hair. Lack of sleep. Hangover. Terrible..

I made it through the day though. 6:20PM, my boss asked me why on earth I was still at work. "Go home to sleep!" and my colleague told him I might have another party later in the evening. So, he asked me if that's the case. I said "Yeah!". And he rolled his eyes. :D


Me and Nat Posted by Hello


I was going to meet Nat and a few others for a drink - while I was actually too tired and only wanted to sleep. It turned out to be a very bad night. Shit happened. And it made me totally pissed off and cranky. Nothing I could do about it, as it wasn't my own problem. Besides, I realised I forgot to send a couple of important emails. And it made me cranky even more. So, anyway..

I slept in today. And got up to go to the office to send those emails. I managed to meet up with Nat. She was flying out this afternoon. So, I took her to the airport and got something to eat there.

I came home to eat a bit, took my medications (which I hadn't taken any for days), took a nap thinking I would go out by myself tonight...

I woke up at 8PM feeling totally knackered. My whole body hurts. So, I thought I'd better stay in tonight. Oh well, Wednesday next week is a public holiday. So, there's another time.
