Oooogre.

This is an email sent to me recently:


Photobucket


You see my name as an addressee in the email, but you don't see it in the cost tabulation table right??!! 'Cause I am Princess Fiona. -_______________-


I have mentioned here why my colleagues call me Fiona! To recap: someone commented that I look like Fiona Xie (a Singaporean celebrity), and my colleagues found it SO funny that they call me Fiona... and the name stuck on. T___T


At first it was just two of my colleagues, Calvin and Shenton, who are total idiots, who started the name-calling wtf. But soon, the whole department knows about it, and everyone refers to me as Fiona! -__- And the best part is, I am so used to it, I actually respond to the name. T__T


In fact, once my manager overheard a colleague calling me Fiona, and she asked me, "Hmm, your English name is Fiona? I didn't know about that! Should I call you Fiona from now onwards?"
And I had to come up with some lame excuse about her hearing wrongly and quickly run away. T_T


And of course, there are many versions of 'Fiona'-esque names that came about. There was once I was sitting quietly doing my work, when my colleague next to us dialled the extension of another guy just sitting across us to ask him for lunch. And they said, right in front of me, "Eh, ask Shrek's wife whether she wants to come along too!" -______-


But I am super sporting la. Accepted my fate already WTF. For instance, there was once I nearly got banged by a car whilst crossing the road (due to my low agility and acute blurness wtf), and my colleague nagged me, "Fiona!! Don't know how to cross roads is it!"
To which I mumbled, "Sorry la, they never teach in ogre school". And everyone threw their heads back in delight wtf.
Haiihh why do I always attract people to laugh at me. T_T



In fact, 'Fiona' has became somewhat a legend WTF. Whenever I say something blonde, or trip over a step, or something idiotic like that, my colleagues will go "That's so Fiona!" or "Eh, don't Fiona me la!" hahahahahah.


During our department lunch in this cozy Italian restaurant, we had awesome chocolate chip cookies along with our coffee. And somehow, the boss came over and gave me a small plate of extra cookies! *shy* And someone went: That's the Fiona charm. Hahahha.


Haihhhh, how la people. I am always not that keen to get an English name (despite countless people egging me on to get one), 'cause I feel that Hui Wen embodies ME. But now apparently Fiona does as well. -__-

The only thing I can do is to make sure that the the Princess Fiona reference to me is before her transformation into an ogre WTF.

Sitting cross-legged.

Updates at Boudoir-Boudoir!


*waves*


Thank you for all the lift-me-up messages! *grateful face* I have started working since I woke up today, and only left office at about 9pm!! It's a Saturday ok. T__T But aah, I am just so happy to be finally clad in my tatty PJs, and tapping away at my laptop mindlessly (for something other than work). The past week has been intense, to say the least. I don't recall having a single moment when my mind was not on work, how sad is that! When I am commuting in the train to work, I plan about what I want to do for the day ahead of me. When I am travelling back home after work, I plot about to-do things for the next day. Even when I sleep, I dream about work!! 'Cause my brain is super wonky, my dreams usually consist of what my last activity of the day is! Which is why during exam time, I will usually dream of examinations and tutorials, haih. I told my friend about this brain condition of mine (wtf), and he asked me "eh so if you have sex before you sleep, whole night you dream of sex ar" WTFF. -__-

And just in case you think that I have become a workaholic, that is not true k! I will have you know that I am the laziest person alive wtf. Just that sometimes, a girl's gotta do what she has to do. T_T


OHHH, btw, I tried to change the date of my flight! And Tiger Airways put me on hold on the phone for half an hour, I might add. Rawr! Anyway, to change each flight (I bought return tickets), will cost me a penalty fee of SGD50 each, and that's excluding any additional fare charges for my replacement flight. Which is really expensive! So I thought, screw it, and forfeited my flights. :(



Pictures of my last weekend at home! If I have gone back this weekend, I could have shown you all new pictures *sour*




Waiting for Jing to fetch me to the boyfriend's place.


Looking quite radiant here, but in actual fact, right this moment, my eyebags can fight with Lin Hui WTFFF. *click for an extremely interesting article hahahah*





Pouting so that my lips can be the same size as his HAHAHA.





Haihh what has the world come to. Girl waiting for the guy! *tsk tsk*







I was very happy 'cause the boyfriend brought me to a new place! Solaris, Mont Kiara! :)


Err, probably almost everyone knows where the place is, heh. Sorry la, I am very out! All along I thought Solaris is just a cafe or something in Mont Kiara. I didn't know it's a whole area itself! The only reason why the name Solaris sounded vaguely familiar to me is 'cause it sounds like Solero Shots (the ice cream wtf). It's sort of a cross between Telawi and Hartamas, for those of you who have never been there. Loads of boutiques, spas and eateries can be found there! :)


We went to Ole Ole Bali, which serves Balinese food. I got a little confused at first, 'cause I mean, isn't Balinese food same as Indonesian food ar wtf.





I love the interior! Especially all the teak wood furniture and the happy yellow walls.



I want to paint the walls of my home yellow next time! I just think it will make a house look so cozy. *hugs self* But the boyfriend said no, 'cause he thinks it is a very 'hot' color. -_- Bah! *kicks boyfriend away*



Another reason why I love the interior is 'cause..




We got to sit on the floor! :D :D :D


Haha, I know, I am really weird! But I love it when I get to have 'comfy-seating' at restaurants! Such as couches, arm chairs, sitting cross-legged on the floor... :P I just prefer it to sitting on hard chairs at proper dining tables! I am not a very lady-like girl, I like to sprawl instead of sit, heh. :P




Happy 'cause the boyfriend offered to take the floor seating.


He is usually quite reluctant to! 'Cause he is quite tall, and sitting on floors or couches would put him in really akward/uncomfortable positions. But what to do, he has a girlfriend with weird fetishes (seating fetishes ar, don't make wrong assumptions! T_T)




The boyfriend's ice-blended pulut hitam.


Really nice and refreshing! I wish I was as adventurous in ordering...




.. cause I stuck with a good ol' cappucino! I was in dire need of caffeine, 'cause I was busy packing up my room till 5am the night before.






Told you I like to sprawl and be comfy! Stacks of cushions make me cheery too. :D





Playing footsie! *miang*



Our food:


Ok, I suck, 'cause I can't remember the names of the food we ordered. :(


I *think* this is the Nasi Camput Ole Ole, which the boyfriend ordered! It's like Indonesian mixed rice, with grilled squid, grilled fish, chicken rendang, grilled skewer thingy... It cost RM33, but it's heaps of food! I think 2 people can share this. *thoughtful*





My grilled/fried chicken thingamajig! At first I thought it's just deep fried chicken, but it was served with a lot of Indonesian condiments, vegetables, yellow rice! And we are talking about 1/2 chicken here! Really generous serving. Which is great for my appetite! *greedy*





The boyfriend's favorite part of his dish-- the satay-like skewer.






I think the food is really quite delicious! Though I am not sure how authetically 'Balinese' it is ('cause they serve burgers and pastas as well -_-), I must say I enjoyed my meal. And though prices are rather steep (expect around RM30 for a main meal), the portions are really generous, so sharing is definitely acceptable. :)

And hey, you get to sit on floors! *whee*






Hehe, I like how the bill came in a hand-shaped container! Maybe I should get one of this, and use it to ask for money from my mom and the boyfriend, HAHAHA.





FLOOOOOOOR. :D

You notice that I was sitting on cushions? It's 'cause I am so short that without the cushions, I am seated real low-- chin touching the table wtf. T___T



And remember I said that there are plenty of spas in Solaris Mt Kiara?


Check this out:



Kids nowadays! *shakes head, but actually secretly jealous wtf*


I am really keen to go to one of the spas there! Like I said, there are quite a few spas there, thus the prices are quite competitive. Furthermore, I observed a lot of promotions going in those spas (such as 'bring a friend, and get one spa package for free' that sort of thing). Who wants to go with me! I need some pampering and TLC. :)



Last but not least, outfit pictures! :)




Green crotchet beanie: Forever 21
Blue plaid tube romper: Miss Selfridge
Cream knitted mini cardie: Forever New, Melbourne
Multi-layer pearls and chains: Diva
Vintage-esque tan pumps with crotchet lace trimmings: Bangsar
White nappa leather bag: Miu Miu





I miss dressing up. :(

The saddest girl.

*update*

Current location: Singapore



At this time, I should be back home, either eating supper with the boyfriend, or gossiping with Jing on her bed.

Tomorrow, I should be on my way to Port Dickson with the boyfriend and his friends.


But I am not. Boo.


Blog properly tomorrow k. Need to sleep now! 'Cause need to work too tomorrow! T___T



*/end of update*






If not the saddest, at least very very sad. And very very tired. :(


I have been working so much! Work late, work too much, sleep too little.


In fact, I got dropped a bomb today-- I have to work the weekend too.




So guess what.
I will have to forfeit on my flight back to KL this weekend. :(


So so so so sad.
But I am actually too tired to feel anything now. How contradictory.
