Happy Father's Day

Father's Day last week. Though its over, i still would like to write an entry about this topic. Just for the sake to remind myself.

It all started from the love of one American lady Sonora Dudd towards her father whom have taken on a dual parental role after her mother died. Its sad to know that should Sonora decided to just take her Daddy out for a simple dinner and not do anything. We would still be celebrating only Mother's Day today.

Since the beginning of the era, men have been a breadwinner in most household, yet the acknowledgement of their love and efforts have always been place many many levels behind that of a mother.

Since young, ive always place equal effort when it comes to selection of mother's day & father's day gifts. And hope that all of you out there would do the same as well. (But of course, subjected to a case-by-case basis)



Back home early on a Sunday afternoon. Its just 2pm.
I can't believe myself either.

Forgotten to bring my mobile out this morning, went home straight after service with R to get it. But when i saw my papa sitting in the living room watching DVD alone, an unbearable guilty feeling overcame me.

Thank God for letting me have the most understanding boyfriend. We agreed that since we have no particular destination to head to, we had a delicious lunch of Big Prawn Mee at Kallang Bahru and than its HOme Sweet Home for me.

Perhaps its because my parents are getting older or perhaps its because my siblings are both married and has their own commitment. I often feel that the responsibility of taking care of parents lies on my own shoulders. In fact, i often felt i have not done enough for my parents to repay them for bringing me into this world.

Though i knew im extremely blessed to have parents that do not depends on me for financial support, but i do knew that they have always desire these one thing from us. TIME.

I feel angry at myself sometimes, because i knew that in the past years i have let my own enjoyment and my worldly life influence my behaviour.

Since secondary school days, my sundays were reserve for my Father. I would stay home on sunday as much as possible, to clean the fish tank with him and my siblings, to clean the house, wash my school shoes and to accompany him for lunch, VCD watchng, karaoke or just be there to help out with anything.

But when i entered poly, things change, and i suddenly decided not to 'waste' my sundays on him. I spent my time with boyfriend instead. Looking back, i truly regret my choice. My father's mood swings throughout these period, whenever i spent more time at home with him, he would be more willing to attend church occasionally, eat proper food, and be in happy mood. But when i start hanging out late outside, he would lock himself in the room to watch VCD alone, refuse to attend church service and start eating heaty and unhealthy food. He would often lure me in spending more time with him by asking what is the latest movie.

Its the same way as to how ive been treating God. Throughout the years, i knew there were many times, i choose to not attend service, to not attend cell group. I gave myself reasons for all these actions, and i always tell myself, "Tonight i will pray and spent time in his word" But when night falls, the sleep demon always become even stronger. I would spent 5 -10 mins and than Zzzzz...

Though i knew, God wants me to spent more time in church, to make more effort in having a stronger prayer life, i have allowed myself to give excuses after excuses. Though i told people i am a person of strong perserverance, towards God and family and many other areas, it simply does not shows.

In church today, a particular verse in the worship song touch my heart.

"Break my heart for what breaks yours"
"Show me how to love like you love me"

My Father in Heaven so much reminds me of my Father on earth.
Looking at myself in this jobless situation, facing disappointment from people whom i have started placing trust in. The various rejections Ive faced. I knew it hurts my Father in Heaven as much as it Hurts my Father
on earth.

I can't stop but ask myself.

Who hurts more? Myself or the father that loves me.

My father asked me yesterday " So, how's your job?"
I answered "Still finding ar"

The silence that follows was the most horrible sound i have ever heard.

Endless Interviews

Im so Tired~~

Been walking here n ther so much think my legs muz have shorten by a few milicentimetres.

Have been attending so many interviews i'll prob dream of myself repeating my exps.
But the sad thing remains that many are not what they describe.

STRESS~~Need some face mask, ive been neglecting my face recently, and pimples are sprouting, oh no :(

Ive received a phonecall recently from this young gal whom claimed she is from this ulu ulu job agency, Forward Express.
Told me that she obtained my resume from job website and asked me down for a profiling interview before she decides where to sent my resumes too.

HeLLO~ shouldn't I be the one deciding where and what i want to work as? My resume state clearly my past job exp so she should have a clue rite?

I find such agency pretty inefficient, so far out of the many many job agency that ive applied before, NONE has ask for a profiling interview, its usually just phone interview thats it. Buts theres one that ask for a pre-screen interview BEFORE he sent the resume to his client, but a few hours later, i realised, ive actually already BEEN for an interview with his client 2 days back through another agency.
In the end i was called up and asked to go for a 2nd interview that day.

So tell me, which agency has been more efficient?

Anyway, back to Forward Express. This gal called me up and said "Hello, JESSICA KONG? So you will be coming down for interview at 2pm right?"

With that, i gave her an excuse and did not turn up for the interview. I totally H8 it when people called u by ur full name without a salutation, it simply screams outright rude.

Anyway, from our conversation, she does NOT have any company in mind to send my resume too, and they don't even have a cpy website at all. So in times like this, i simply do not wanna waste my time and money on such dubious recruit agency.

Pigs that Fly

Its finally done. Ta-Da, my new blogskin. Have been procrastinating it for ages.
Simply lurve this new skin, a refreshing soft change. My blogging mood seems better already. Been spending so many hours on this, my butt is aching.

Much has happen in the past few days.
Been injured by my neighbour's cactus plant
Took pic with a human size pig,
Been to some interviews
Been running at East Coast Park
Been to a primary's school gathering, turnout rate wasn't that well, only 7 turn up, oh well better than none,we are used to it anyway.

Went to EastPoint on Sat with Miss P, saw an event run by the Australian Air flown Pig that is sold in NTUC. Didn't know even Pig meat uses events for publicity, modern pig meat sia, but looking at the pics, its kinda obvious the response is a little disappointing. They are selling the meat at $4 for a pkt, about 1kg i think, is that consider cheap?? Hmm..













Gonna poison the cactus one day, stupid cactus, inconsiderate neighbours.
No wonder her daughter is becoming a nutcase day by day.

Every day is a busy day!! Tml is another interview, can't wait.
Been receiving calls from financial company on a regular basis.
Will all these financial company stop calling!!

I'M NOT INTERESTED TO BE A FINANCIAL AGENT!!!STOP CALLING!!!

Sad commercial

Came across this ad whlle surfing Blankanvas blog, if the Beautifully Imperfect ad got your nose swelling, this should make u truly tear. It make me tear, makes me think twice again about God, myself and people around me.

Thai Life Insurance TVCs




These ads just amazingly beautiful.

The One

I had forgotten to blog about the most important piece of news this week.
Went to the PC Show 2009 on sunday. And

I HAVE A NEW LAPPIE~~~

Fully sponsored by my Baby. Love you so much~~

MUACKS MUACKS MUACKS~~~ u r so worthy to be loved honey.

Its not a laptop actually, to be exact, its a netbook.

I gotten myself a ACER ASPIRE ONE D250!!

Mine was a cool stunning passionate red. Finally, a computer that i can call my own.
We gotten it at a great deal too, $588, with freebie of optical mouse thrown in.

Its so slim and thin and light. With a screen size of just 10.1" and weighing just 1.1kg, its super handy. The most incredible thing about this cutie is definately its long lasting battery power. It can last up to 7.5 hrs, and ive already tried and tested this at home.

No more scrambling and fighting with students and China kids at macDonalds or Starbucks for the nearest power outlet. Now as for me, I can just stroll into any Wireless SG cafe, find myself a good seat and whip out my netbook and be well-entertain for the next 7.5 HOURS!!!

Frankly speaking i had no idea whats the difference between a NETBOOK, NOTEBOOK, LAPTOP, POCKET PC and i believe perhaps many of u out there doesn't knows too.
So i google up and heres the answer.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NOTEBOOK & NETBOOK
Netbook generally has a screen size of up to 10" from corner to corner. Has a slower processor speed and does not have optical drive. Designed for more basic task such as FB, Twitter, Blog, Checking of emails, Microsoft usage, Video-watching on Youtube and msn. Basically they process less things and as a result,these babies usually has longer battery life and speed. Photoshop and Gaming can be used in netbook but they run much slower.

Plus points of NetBook: Convenience and Speed.

Notebook in general is simply a thinner version of a laptop.has the full feature of a laptop. Thats as simple as it is.

A laptop is well a laptop. Portable computer that sits in your lap.

Pocket PC is somethin really tiny like a remote controller, depending on the brand, some has really strong processing power. It usually cost higher than a netbook.

The minus points of this baby is that, my eyes gets tired easier coz i had to squint my eyes and get accustomed with the small screen, my back ache from bending over. But im sure these problems r gonna be easily solve once i get used to it.

Fusion Dinner @ Holland V

Had a hearty dinner just now. I had a new understanding to the word fusion today.
My dinner was truly a fusion between western and asian. Join R and his friends for dinner at Holland V's Club 211 restaurant. Its an outdoor roof-top restaurant. DBS is having a 1-for-1, so our meal was super value for money.

One main course + drink cost each of us just $15!! Their food taste great and being located at the roof-top, weather felt great and its a perfect place for hangout with friends.

Overall Review:
Food taste fantastic
Price incredible due to card promo
Cooling and not noisy
Has many smoking seats available~

We went to a coffee shop in Ghim Moh to have black pepper, chilli crabs and Prawn paste chicken. Yummy Yum.

Looking forward to more hang out sessions with them in future. Think they going prawning soon. Oh Boy~

Uniqlo

Haha dunno y, just feel like jeering Uniqlo rite now. Im so evil..hiak hiak...
Remember my April 11 Entry on Uniqlo? Haha as expected. The queue outside Uniqlo has TOTALLY DIEDED. The shop has like less than 10 customers when i went in on fri evening.
And its been just 2 months....Singapore, Suuupper competitive man. Many enter, but little survive in this fast-moving retail industry.

Argh~~~ Anyway im like super jaded now lor, i missed out on the Trust Me's event with Wacoal!!! Stupid me lar, too lazy to login or monitor Cozycot for the past few months, didn't even notice Wacoal had an event with CozyCot in the month of April, the event is mainly for the launch of their Ayumi Hamasaki endorse series 'Trust Me' (SEE SEE~ I jus knew they r launching in SG).

Sianzz lor, all the brochures and booklets that contains loads of Ayu's pictures, argh!!!! I want I want lar....
What ive missed

Ayu~~




Yes Ma'am ive got that long ago. Best Bra ive ever bought man. Really incredible support & comfort. Recommended for both the well-endowed & the NOT.
Hope they gonna launch more range in Singapore. The one that Ayu's wearing in the poster is not available in SG..so sad one...


The corset i wanted!! Im sure at the event, they have sale on it. HaiYa~~Wasted...

Music played in Cab

Took cab to work today.

I listened to Malay music throughout the journey, despite the fact that i look totally Chinese. Shouldn't all cab drivers be sensitive enough to change the channel at least to an English channel when he saw that his passenger is of other race?

Which then got me thinking,hmm...the cab fare i paid, to what extend does it covers? Just the service of shuttling from Point A to B?

Well from the last reports that ive read,cab companies always likes to justify their escalating cab fares by emphasizing on their amenties like aircon, cleanliness, good service, entertainment like a small tv, better comfort vehicles(more car models modified as cab)and more, so WHY ISN'T RADIO PART OF THE DEAL?

I never speak up to them, as i find it awkward & a little rude to be the one to make the request. But shouldn't cab drivers be more sensitive themselves?

Anyway, im freed once again. Back in the race, shall continue sending resumes. haha maybe God is trying to tell me something.

June Birthdays

Celebrated June's birthday 2 days back,went Cafe Cartel.
Had a great time narrating to the gals about my new job. Haha.
Rive Gauche's strawberry cake taste jus MaRveLous lar.
Fresh strawberries yum.



My Favourite comic (Little Candy) So happy to see its DVD. Thanks Baby! Read the comic book during my primary school days, all thanks to my pri sch bestie Candice and has fallen in love with its plot and the various characters in the story. Definately one of the best i have read.
Its super value lor, $24.90 for full 12 DVDs,115 episodes.

Went KBox Lucky Chinatown with Lil Foot & gals today, great choice venue. as we do not need to squeeze with big crowds. Gal friend intro this lozenges to me. The packaging looks damn hilarious.

Oh My! I look at the old man pic, wah lao, speechless.But this sweet is really pretty good, never judge a lozenge by its wrapper!! Ifelt an immediate cooling sensation rush through my throat, feels shiok.

We went back to tampines1 for lunch at Thai Express. Service at the Tampines1 outlet was superb. Salute the staff for their Great service rendered, it certainly make our meal really pleasant.

Went to Coffee Bean where we had our nice chill out session. It has been so long since our group had a good long chat. Hope we can have this often, instead of the usual patronising birthday celebrations.





Durian Cake from Angie The Choice. Yummy Yum. So much cakes recently, super depressing for my waist man..

I enjoyed my day, Happy Happy!!

Looking Forward

Well. Im happy. Im satisfied. Im looking forward.

I hope what i have heard is true. And i look forward to seeing it become a fact.

If what is in my head were noise, i look forward to a total extermination of those noise.

I am asked to be patient and to just receive. And thats what i will do and am happy to do.

Who doesn't wish to be guide and receive discipleship

If things dun work out eventually, than i truly know perhaps im not cut out for marketing.

God, i look forward to taking your lead.

On a happier note, remember the Wacoal new line that was endorsed by Ayumi Hamasaki?

Its officially launch in SG!! I think la. Coz i saw it in May issue of Style Magazine.

Wah gorgeous advertorial spread. Hope there are new designs, but from the look of it. No.

My calf is better now, mopiko doesn't works and i resort to using this balm 'Nixoderm' which is great for all insect bites and infections of the skin and scalp. Its super cheap. Cost just $3++ and is available at all leading drugstores and those Ah Neh diam. This was introduced to me by a Malay friend many years back, and i turn to it whenever i had serious pimples that dun respond to my normal acne gel creme. I applied it last night, and the bite red hump on my calf reduced to a small dried up hump the very next day! Im gonna apply it for another day, coz the itchiness is still there sometimes.

New Path

Starting work in a new place in a few hours time, dunno why, but dun really have a good feeling about this...

Do u have the same experience when u r starting a new job?

How should one feel on the night before u embark on a new career?

Dunno y, feel like changing new blog template. This template seems too dark, too black.

I haven't been writing much entries about my boy lately, feel so bad la coz he had been doing so many sweet things for me and yet ive left him out. Haiz.. I seem to have spent so much time on everything else, until the time spent always seem to be just quantity & not quality.

His exams are finally over. For this semester.

I have no idea why i myself keep harping on the topic of marriage. Perhaps its becoz the inner me desire to have a breakthrough in this relationship. I simply want something new in our relationship. I can't remember when's the last time we had a mushy mushy lovey dovey, sink in his arms moment.

I WANT THE SPARKS, THE CHEMISTRY!!!!

Look forward to a holiday spent with him & friends. But most prob it wun materialise, coz im startin my new job. Sux man....

My calf feeling mighty itchy now, kena lotsa insect bites during the photo shoot. quite serious i think, they have blister over the insect bite. Only me kena bite, Joyce & Winnie dun have....why lidat....

Attend a friend's father funeral jus now, its scary. Scary coz it suddenly occurs to me im already 25. My parents seem to have aged tremendously.

The biological clock seem to be ticking louder.

Say Cheeze

Had a great time at the photo shoot yesterday, it was really tiring leh, went to 3 locations and had like 3-4 different hair-do, i feel like a model! haha. Dream come true la, to be dolled up and taken pictures by professional photographer. Feeling is just SHiOk!

One of my look over here. (taken via my mobile phone)


I really really dislike my lips and bugs bunny teeth la, think it looks super prominent and ugly. And my nose~~argh....no amt of highlights seems to be able to give it a 3-D look. But...haiz...no choice la, my face is not link to my rice bowl anyway....and i read from online that lips lipo is terribly painful. Like slow death..Yikes.

Looking forward to seeing the blogshop launching soon. I dun have the URL yet, but will place the link once its up. Do support support k.

The make-up artist says that my skin was very good and the make-up adheres without the need for much touch up the whole day. Yippee. All thanks to my latest buy - Estee Lauder Hydra Series.




See the beautiful blue cosmetic bag, its free, i like the bag, the material is good and is really roomy for lotsa stuff. Now i just need time to re-organize my dressing table so that i can fully utilize this thing.

To prevent contamination and over-clutter of my fridge space, i transferred small portions over to my Laneige travel size cream jar and used directly from there. But everytime i open the small plastic jar, the contents seems to be lesser than before.
Perhaps the transferring from acrylic jars to plastic jars leads to vaporisation. Creams like this could contain up to 80% water, so vaporisation doesn't comes as a surprise to me.

Im using it sparingly now, and since both Clarins and Laneige last me for 3 mths & above, hope this can last 3mths too, coz its so ex... Really lurve the Estee Lauder Hydra Complete Hydra Eye Gel Creme. It gives a slight warm sensation whenever i patted it on my eye contour area, the same feeling i felt when i tested Bobbi brown eye creme. Hmmm...a good investment made. yeah~~~~

Went to Bali Thai restaurant at Tampines Mall with Miss P last week, the prices are surprisingly low. A set meal that consist of a main course and 2 side dish & a drink cost just $13.90++
For a restaurant that comes with great service and quiet ambience, its fantastic place for couple & friends to hang out.What i dun understand is that why do i seldom see a great turnout at a great restaurant like this??

Pics to share.




Following the beetle bug saga, the Kong Household has been invaded yet by another creature from the tiny land. Spotted a hungry lizard out to eat my sponge cake.



I threw the cake away...duhz....

Break a Leg

Ok im back blogging, hanging out at a new location now. Im glad we change places actually, over here there's better wireless connections, less salty fries and most importantly no screaming and over-enthu students.

Read a news article on thursday. An Australian lady Hajnal Ban went through limb lengthening procedure in order to be 8cm taller. In the article, it was stated that doctors had break her legs and attached her limb onto a stretching frame.

Doctors fed 14 wires through the flesh, soft tissue, muscle and bone of both legs to suspend them in circular stretching frames, before breaking them in two places.Over the next nine months Ban's legs were stretched every day as the broken bones healed, eventually boosting her to a height of 1.62m.

The whole operation took a full year and cost a whopping fee of US$30,000. When
i read that article, i can totally understand what makes this young lady take
the risk to go ahead with this operation.

I totally support her quotes

Barns

'I think harnessing or using surgery that's out there for cosmetic applications is acceptable if it makes people feel good about themselves.

'I'm an advocate for women feeling good about themselves by whatever means necessary and available.'

And for that, im gonna start saving up for a better nose, bigger eyes, thinner lips, smaller and whiter teeth, slimming procedures that will give me slimmer calf which in turn i believe will give the illusion of taller limbs.

Hmmm...Hahaha ok ok im kidding...hahah...but who's not out for a better smile?

Good news

IVE GOT GOOD NEWS!!!!

2 PIECE OF FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!

INCREDIBLE NEWS THAT ALL HAS BEEN

WAITING!!!!

Its hard to describe my feelings now, i dun really know how should i react right now, coz my future superior seems like a demonic boss that is super vulgar and super ya-ya and expects his staff to work all day & night and devote your entire body & soul to the company.

But than, im not gonna judge right now, coz like what i wrote in my previous entries, people who seem to be the most nasty person may end up be your most trusted and best get-along pal at the end of the day.

And the next good news.

Gonna be a blogshop model for my friend on sunday. Photoshoot this sunday. Yikes. suddenly my tummy looks so bulging, my arms seems so jiggling, and most disgustingly, my calf seem to have multiply in size and my knee caps seem to look exceptionally dark and dirty. Hope the photographer not gonna have a shock when he saw such a poor quality 'model' like me.

Oh Oh and i finally set up my own Twitter account. It seems that many has it, so i thot oh well, perhaps its really really fun. Ive got no one following me at the moment, so dear friends, if u got a twitter account could u pls pls add me, so that my twittering moments could be more lively, more interactive and of course more fun & meaningful.
