Lip Gloss Freak Reload

Lip gloss freak comes back!!! She brings two tubes of lip gloss back home tonight.

One is the Dior Addict Ultra Gloss, 'I can use it in every working day, the hue can enlighten my little pale face inside a freezing office.' She thought.

Another one is Kiehl's Lip Gloss (Golden Berry), 'The price is reasonable' she justified. 'This sweetie golden berry tone is perfect for weekends and no make up days, the texture is creamy and moisturized, and I love its mango scent...I have also chosen Pink Rider for my sister, the lovely pinky colour should fit her very much'

Lip gloss freak has already gotten 4-5 half-used lip gloss and at least 3 lip sticks, but she just cannot wait to buy the latest one in the market.

'Wearing lip gloss makes me happy, and it is something you just need to spend a hundred more dollars you can get a very high quality one', she insists her behaviour is rational .

Bikini vs. Bandage vs. one-piece

I was trying to find a reasonably well covered Bikini but what I could find from ROXY and QUIKSILVER are those EXTREMELY little and non-supportive swimsuits which formed by 3 separated tiny pieces.

Are the manufacturers believing all Hong Kong girls are having flat chests and they used to wear bandage when they are on the ground? And I will never consider those selling to department stores which are very 'tai-tai' style - Eye -catching floral prints in neon colours with a mini skirts to cover your fatty bottom etc etc, you know what I mean.

I do need a new 'functional' swimsuit - the one I can wear for swimming care-freely, but I am afraid one-piece is my only choice.

Violin Lessons 2

As Lucas was sick last week, I did not have enough practice of violin. You know, I was really upset and my violin skill were still not good enough for me to convey my saddness between the strings. Instead, everyday I just spent as much time as I can to him.

Therefore, I was disappointed to my performance during the last lesson due to the inadequate of practice, and I was not concentrated at all, surely the teacher also sensed it.

To remedy it, I practiced much more in the last three days, each day I played at least 45 minutes. Well, I cannot see the significant improvement, but at least now I can play one piece of Bach's music, a simple song which will be taught in the next lessons.

I will not allow myself to give up this time. This is the goal I set for myself.

By the way, Jeff complains that my 'working bee' entries are boring, I will try to write more other things else.

Oh, how come I become so customers' oriented???

Super good appetite

What happen on me?? I am craving all the time, now I am having midnight cookies.

And this morning I could swallow a whole bowl of noodles during lunch time, this is unusual to me as I used to have leftover.

Oh no......

I can see a bright and sunny day

Phew!! Lucas is getting much better and I do not feel that depressed today.

'Perception is reality' - this is true. You will feel better if you think positively. Tin Tin is the one who taught me this famous quote, he mentions this in his EVERY presentation and the clients are seemed to be impressed. He said being a market researcher we should have something like this in our fingertips.

I am sure what in his fingertips is much more than that... he is messy but with extraordinary strong memory on findings, and he can draw a conclusion even the fieldwork is not yet kicked off, we call him the 'magician'.

Feel so tired in these few days, many ad hoc works on top of the current one, different clients were pushy on various missions, luckily most had been settled down, I can schedule some time to have a field visit tomorrow, in a hospital. It is nice to get away from my chaotic desk for a while.

Cross my fingers, hope all my works in field are so far so good.

沮喪一星期

剛過去的一星期,心情長期處於谷底. 今天天朗朗病情開始好轉. 心頭大石稍為放下.
沒有心情寫太多,希望再回來是快樂的我.

Shiny marine blue Mascara

Lucas is sick, but I cannot take a day off to take care of him because I should manage many works today. I am not in very good mood these few days. However, I should not let myself grumbling all the time, I believe that making some little thing changes from the routine can make myself feel better.

Therefore I applied the Ipsa shiny marine blue Mascara today. It brings out the subtly light and shimmering blue colour on my eyelashes under the sun, and which highlights my eyes naturally.

Colour Mascara only works well with fair skin and light make up, otherwise it will be awkward and unmatched. (Some waitresses in Chinese restaurants like to wear peacock blue mascara which looks so old fashioned with their heavy make up). Thanks god that my skin condition is pretty good.

Okay, cheer up!!!

A lunatic

I believe this is the right word to describe this woman, this irrational, irritating, unreasonable moron.

She is that client I mentioned in my last entry, the worst client I have ever met. Her only aim to stay living is just causing troubles to everyone, she takes everything personal, she is weak at problem-solving but with strength in problem creating. Frankly, I think she is psychopathic.

Maybe each person plays a role in this world theatre by their free will, so her role is acting a bitch who bites people head everyday - like those monsters appear in horrible scientific fiction... this is a really challenging act, you know.

A good client

If you are working in client-servicing sector like me or you yourself are a client, you know that my job sucks sometimes ~~ most clients are nasty, in reasonable or unreasonable ways.

That is why I should treasure the opportunities to work with client A, who I worked with for 3 solid years!! He is appreciative, supportive and fair.

I cannot believe that the incident happened last week - the 'confrontation' between me and his counterpart had caused him so much trouble~~ to make the revenge, that 'lovely' lady complaint him in front of his boss!!

I have not made any mistakes and apparently that woman swirled up all those mess, but I still feel a bit sorry to him. He backed me up and then he got the complaint. If this happens to other irresponsible clients, they can scapegoat me and leave me to bear all responsibility easily.

It is ridiculous that what my senior mainly concerned is just if I have offended that trouble-maker. Hello, I am the one being offended..

*****
Today we had a meeting with client A again. Jelly told him that we did good jobs recently that's why he is disappointed of lacking of chances to critize us. Then client A asked Jelly not to sound like that trouble-maker and bully us... Hahahahahahahahah!!!!

Say cheers to my mammy!!!

What a colourful family~~

Yellow, Pink, White and Sky blue!!! I am talking about the colours we wear in this picture.

To praise our almightly super mom, we held a small party on Sat. She still look like a little girl. As she is very petite, you will think she is a little girl when you look at her back.

Happy Mother's Day, the world needs Super Man, We need Super Mom.

杜依兒的新作

杜公子今天很有雅興,獨自到海運Shopping摩頂拍攝日落,以饗本部落格讀者!!請慢賞!

Norah Jones - Not too late

I've just bought the latest Norah Jones's album 'Not too late', because I love one of the songs - Sinkn' soon in this CD. The video of this song is captivating and special, at least, unlike other sexy female singers, her outfits in this video are sensibly wearable and appropriately covering her body.

I like both Norah Jones and Katie Melua because they are talented jazz/ blue singers, and both of them do carry special temperament which makes them outstanding among the blondies or hot babes.

Jerks are frightening of bitches

No wonder many men dislike career women... because lot of men are jerks, and a large number of career women are bitches - and jerks are frightening of bitches...

Thanks my direct client fighted for the justice for me today as I was being unfairly criticized by a bitch from his counterpart. Yeah, which does not violate my hypothesis - only Jerks are frightening of bitches, good people are not.

Correlation of banking attributes and fine lines

Am having a thick pamper-myself hydrating mask at the moment.

I looked really dull when I left office this evening, I was extremely tired. My productivity was high throughout the day, I had finished several tasks a day - I spent the whole day to play around all banking related attributes - to compile files of bank images and respondents' verbatim, and to translate dozens of card feautres. Oh, why don't I simply develop my career in banking in the future?

When I switched off my computer, my cheeks looked like a dried up apple. Gosh, several additional fine lines can be seen under my eyes. After all, I have to admit that I am 30, it is not shocking to have fine lines, given that I have all those little 'wrinkles' since I was 3, I just don't know why.

Jesus, I love Bridget Jones but I don't want my blog looks like Bridget Jones's diary...

That's why I am indulging myself in Clarins thirst quenching mask, its floral scent makes me feel I am enjoying a quiet evening in Provence, in spite of some riots are in Paris because Nicolas Sarkozy is just elected to be a new president of France...

Anyway, I am happy that I can manage to practice violin tonight, Jeff said I played very nice.

Violin Lessons

Did I tell you that I set some goals to myself for my coming 10 years?

One is to pick up violin again.

I regret that I gave it up when I was very young. The teacher said it was a loss because I had talent on it.

This time, I will remind myself to keep going, and it is never too late learn music.

I had the first lesson last Sunday, it was pretty good. This new teacher comments that I learn very fast and pick up smoothly.

Hope I will treasure the chance this time and don't give up easily again.

I dream I'd gone hell...

Maybe I predicted I should face tonnes of works in the working days. Yesterday early morning, I dreamt that I had gone hell, but still had to work there... for the Taiwan country manager. I should help him to source some premium for his clients.

Definitely it is a nightmare.

I am not sure if this is really my problem, I do not feel I get along well with the overseas staff. Language barrier could only contribute a little, but the tone we speak, the way we deliver our messages are different, which cause some unnecessary misunderstanding...

Okay, should go back to work, otherwise I cannot finish my works this week I should really go hell.
