Dinner Outing..

Last Monday, I was invited from my business team to have dinner with them and one of my customers.
Since i had nothing to do and I was kinda of broke on cash, dinner with the business team and customer seem like a great idea!
It started out innocently having dinner, talking about "current" affairs and fully business.
Till one of the sales exec decided, "Lets order beer!" and turns around to the waitress...
"Tiger please...keep it coming..!"
In the back of my mind i said to myself
"Ah Ju ah Ju..Don't drink! Don't show them your true colours"
Then the business unit head voiced out..
"Juliana!! you have to drink..
can drive cannot drive don't worry i get one of them drive you home"
Walao... So we ended up drinking damn a lot of bottles..
(but it was not close to comparing what we usually have with the ppl of TB)
And alcohol helps open up peoples relationship..
Hence.. we all ended up singing KTV and dancing and..
lots and lots of laugh!!
I survive the night without a stick of cig..
I think if i stick to them more i can quit for sure!!!
hahaha..
Anyway here are some bad bad quality pictures..Hands were moving.

James, Choy Yee and Myself (3Mers)

Luncheon at Eastin Hotel

Red....Red....

REDBOX!

Yup last Thursday i think it was, Sheena asked me to go Redbox Sunway Pyramid.
Honestly, I didn't want to go.
Cuz i had a whole body aching from gym..
I went anyway... Had fun and realized its been awhile since I sang :)

Thanks Sheena for inviting me!

Batman and Robin

Okay due to the request of Batman wanting to stay anonymous i have to write this.
Pretend Batman is a girl and Robin is a guy.
And Batman and Robin has been dating 2 and a half years now.
So they both went to Europe to travel.

When at Paris, Robin brought Batman to the Eiffel
Tower Batman has fear of heights but didn't want to upset Robin so they went.
When on top, Batman realized Robin's hands were all sweaty.
Batman presumed Robin had fear of heights also..
When Robin said, " You know what I'm going to ask you right?"
Batman instantly pointed at one direction and said,
" Toilet is that way!"
She thought Robin needed to puke and wanted to know where the toilet was.
Robin paused...
and then he proposed!



On the Eiffel tower... Ain't that fucking romantic eh..
And they plan to have their honeymoon in South Africa 2010 during the world Cup.
God damn it girl..


Congratulations!!!


ps: you know who you are :P

pps: I know this sounds gay but open up your mind! :P

Depressed! on ..

This is why i want to do diving...

So at last Andre came online..
After 4 months not seeing him, and 2 months not hearing from him.
Suddenly he came online again. Msn that is.
If you are wondering which Andre I'm talking about,
It's this one...


He told me he was at Dubai on his way back to Portugal
and MIGHT come back to visit in 3 months time.

WE were chatting as always then he showed me a picture of when he was diving.
What he encountered.... which reminded me why i wanted to do Diving so badly.

Look how awesome that view is.. I mean..
You get to see hot asses, Big fishes and beautiful waters :P
What more do you want?

Aussie Mates..

Last week i had a visit from an Aussie friend i met a long long time ago.
He came down with a few friends. And the last time i remembered,
When i met him 3 years ago he came with his dad.
I worried i couldn't recognize him.. Phew.. lucky for me i did.
Co-incidentally, the next day Elaine asked me to come support
Nicol in her semi-Finals at the curve.
So i asked the guys if they would want to go catch my friend playing.
They were okay with it. Then later, we found out Nicol was playing against Australia.
Guess what the guys did?
They wore thier Australian jerseys, had an Australian flag
BUT
was sitting with the people that were closest with Nicol.
You could imagine how funny it was, every time we cheered poor Darren had to cheer with us. When he cheer for Aussie we stared at him.
LOL Well Nicol won of course, and off we were for some dinner.
It was great i could meet up with high school mates that i haven't seen in ages.
Elaine, Stefanie, Nicol and OMG OMG... DOREEN! She is a Doctor already.
We went little Penang to eat, then when we were done, Nicol was hungry.
So we went to Marche for another round of food. Well i had beer :) Anyway here are some pictures.

The boys with Nicol @ Marche

Penangites + Aussies @ Marche, The Curve.PJ

Me and Stef @ Marche

Me and Nicol @ Marche

Me and Miss Doctor Doreen @ Marche

Then we moved on to Cynna Bar for some dancing..and of course ended up drinking. Till all of us went back very very tipsy.

Meet Andrew. The Half Malaysian/Aussie friend i met 3 years ago

Meet Darren his partner in crime :P

Meet Hon, my si tao :P

Hon and Darren, drinking too much

So much for drinking and clubbing in Cynna Bar. It was a great night. Had major fun Made loads of new friends. There were suppose to be more pictures. But im too lazy!

Gym Babeh!~

At last I decided it's time to lose it.. The weight!
So i joined a gym where was convenient for me to go.

Which fitness first? At ...

The Curve

And all i need now is a pair of..

Running shoes eh? Which i will get this weekend in Penang.

*Crosses finger and hopes moms buys it for her *


Monday is the first day I'm going to go
And to my surprise many of my colleagues are being very supportive
They are all going to go with me to give me encouragement!
What a funny thing to celebrate huh? :P

Target weight to be lost : 10 KG
Target Date : Jan 2008

Mark in KL

At last Mark, came to KL. He should have come for the weekend then that way, it won't be a repetitive thing like the last time Tuck came.
Anyways, Mark complained about my snoring. Just like Tuck.
But c'mon guys, You know your sister here is fat. And i DID warn you I'm a snorer.

First night, after the "trying-to-control-not-to-snore" mode, at last i fell straight into
Lalaland, at around 3 something. And it felt like a snooze when my alarm started beeping.
Damnit... 6.30am already.

Off to work..sigh.
Being very moody and insulted and pissed at myself
I managed to complete a whole days of work without screaming at anyone.

Then I went to Centerpoint to meet mark and have dinner.
After that, Mark insisted on going for "1 or 2" beers.
Which of course ended with a few buckets.
I brought him to Bamboo this new club in TTDI Plaza.

Which AC joined and he and Mark kicked it off.
After that night in drinking.
I will not go any further for the aftermath..
Anyways here are some pics..

It's Friday!

Yes! At last, Friday and my salary is out. I have so much work i don't know where to start.
Apparently, The faster you type doesn't make it the faster you finish your work. That saying doesn't apply to me anymore. It seems, the faster i type and the more i check my personal e-mails and stuff, to THEM i have no work and I've been given more and more work to do.
I don't mind the work, honest! but I don't feel I'm getting paid enough to do what i am doing. Maybe that's asking too much but hey! It's my opinion right?

Loads of people think I get paid a lot working for an international company but ... ermm i don't.

I'm contract remember?

I can't wait to retire in 5 years (fingers crossed)
Hopefully I'll marry someone who doesn't need me to work.
But what if i stay single :(

ARGH!!! I'm turning crazy due to recent break off and i can't get over it! NO!

World Music Festival - Penang

Dawn told me about this rainforest world music festival in Sarawak since 3 months ago.
I was so excited BUT i knew i couldn't afford to go.
Then a few months later passed by. Totally forgetting about it,
I decided one weekend to call dawn out to have some drinks.
"Ah Ju I'm at Sarawak le.. World Music Festival.."
"I tell you Ju you come here, you would forget who Per is lor"
This girl ah, always know how to get to me.

Days later, Meng comes on msn and asked me,
"JU! This weekend world music festival in Penang wanna go?"
After hearing what dawn mention.. the only sane answer i could give meng was "ON!!!"
And so we went back to Penang,

And the party begins...

Started out drinking absolute Vodka at Vigs.
Just Me, Meng and of course Vig.
And then we went to take-away the 3 for RM 10 beers.
Chucked 6 in the cooler and started opening the cans while Meng drives.

On the way, I really needed to go to the toilet, So i requested Meng to stop by
He suggested "Berjaya Hotel?" And Vig started laughing
"Meng you wanna go also right?"
Meng admitted and off we went to the basement carpark of One Stop.
After releasing what we had to release, we decided to finish 1 can of beer before continuing our journey, and...we got tipsy..at last!
lol...

Then we were off... To James house, we were expecting a bigger jam but there wasn't any.
Hmm..so anyways, we went over to James, to pay a visit to his toilet..lol
Bladder issues i tell ya!Beer issues!
We also managed to talk james into cancelling his plans in Soho to join us at the festival.

Upon arriving, we had to walk so god damn far!
Thinking that there wouldnt be any parking deeper in, but we were wrong.
Dawn was already there waiting for us..licking off her aiscream
Being tempted, we joined the aiscream gang.

And then we walk in, bought a can of beer and the party begins!

James cancelled his plans and joined us, Vig's mom and her gang was there too.
Here are some pics.
Meng, Vig, Bee Chin, James
Me and Aunty sue
Vig looks super eager
Meng,Vig,Me and Dawn
2 Very Excited Boys
I got VIP!
That's the bomb

Donut!

Well this was last two weeks ago.. Or was it last week?
When Tuck and Mark missed their flight and had this and that delayed to China they ended up having a one day trip to KL...
So Ian,Sheena,Vig, Na-o-mie and myself decided to meet up with them and have a yum char session.. Yum "English" char in Laundry.. (Beer!)

After a few rounds, I find myself strongly drawn to worship the porcelain goddess.
After the 3rd visit to the porcelain temple, I noticed this yummy donut shop called "The Big Apple" What a name for a donut shop. I mean, I would expect a name like that in Malaysia to be maybe a souvenir shop of NYC or perhaps a clothing apparel. No... It was a donut shop! :P

It looked yummy so i thought... hmmm why not?
So i bought 6, Vanilla, Belgium Chocolate, Oreo's, glazed, mango and durian! B24 grade wor.
So we started having fun with the donuts.. :P Honestly it was way yummier than i expected.
It was way better than dunkin donuts...

Sorry i forgot to take pic with Tuck or Mark >.<

Cleavage

So i wore a little low cut to work yesterday..just a little..i swear
But I had comments about my cleavage from 8am all the way to 8pm
Comments i gotten were quite funny...
Things like....
"Wah longkang besar!"
"Chau kung le... aiyo."
"Hmmm...Tetek besar lor"
"At least your boobs are bigger ur tummy"
" Jealous le.."

So most of the time i was walking covering my cleavage with the cardigan i got.
then my all time favorite comment came out...

"The more you close, the more i want to discover"

WAh i tell you i totally paused there.. didn't know what to say

10 counter-intuitive career tips

This was forwarded to me by a 3M-er in the office.
Just wanted to share it with everyone.. quite interesting

1. Don’t be the hardest worker.
No one can work 70-hour weeks forever without losing their mind – or at least their perspective. You need to pace yourself. Besides, at this kind of pace, you may not always the best worker, but you’ll surely look like the most desperate.

2. Hire people you wouldn’t want as friends.
Diverse business teams are more successful than homogenous teams. Creating diversity doesn’t mean hiring one guy from each fraternity. It means hiring people who scare you, disagree with you and think in totally different ways than you.

3. Don’t fear failure.
Most people who have wild success have wild failure first. Have your failure early and significantly so that you’re primed for success.

4. Learn to write direct mail.
A resume is a piece of direct mail. At best, it will get a 10-second scan from a hiring manager trying to decide whether to interview you. Know how to control what happens in those 10 seconds. Hint: You don’t want the person to spend that time reading “References available upon request.”

5. Bake cookies for your team.
Surprise people with your caring and kindness. They will view you – and your mistakes — much more generously. Also, showing your soft side at the office is risky. Cookies are softness without the risk that you’re revealing too much.

6. Give the brand of you a rest.
You cannot get to the top alone, so stop looking at yourself like you’re a one-man show. Education is the No. 1 factor in determining who will be successful. The caliber of your stable of mentors is the No. 2 factor. So start looking outside yourself. You need help.

7. Blend in.
Do not stand out for how your dress. Stand out for your intelligence and creativity. If you dress in a way that makes people look at your clothes, then you say “look at me for my clothes”. If you dress in a way where no one notices what you are wearing then you force people to look at you for your brains. Remember, though, that boring, frumpy fashion stands out as much as flashy, funky fashion.

8. Toss the business books: Read fiction.
Your career is as dependent on your people skills as it is on your professional skills, so read books and magazines that help you to understand people. Read novels your co-workers recommend, and you’ll have reliable repartee for weeks. Besides, most non-fiction tells you about peoples’ mistakes, but fiction describes what’s achievable.

9. Say no frequently.
Be choosy about how you spend your time so that each project you work on becomes a great bulleted item on your resume. Don’t work on projects that don’t matter, will get killed or are clearly mismanaged. When your boss asks you to do something you don’t have time for, remind her of her priorities and say you want to work on what’s most important to her. This is a professional way of saying no to unimportant assignments.

10. Ignore the urgent stuff.
Most urgent items on your to-do list are not big-picture items. But it’s the big-picture tasks that will make a significant difference in your career. So block off time each day to work solely on big-picture aspects of your to-do list. You don’t have to be a visionary at work. But if you aren’t a visionary for your life, who will be?

Sex and the city

I think I've been watching too much of sex and the city.
Here i am, Single in the city of Kuala Lumpur
But.. everything seems to be more boring than being in my little home island.
Expecting my life to be thrilled and adventurous like the chicks on HBO,
I am still greatly disappointed. I wasn't even close to being Miranda..
and to think i wanted to be Samantha!!!

Maybe I'm not as cut out as i thought i am...
Maybe my body is not as cut out..
Maybe it's Kuala Lumpur and not New York City..
Or maybe i really can't get over him.

Sometimes i wonder why do i even want to try and be someone else?
Trust me.. many are the same. Somehow we never seem to be satisfied with our ownself..
Why is that so?

I'm glad i stopped watching the L word at season 2. Else god knows who i want to follow?

Juliana

So there is this 1 girl in 3M. I found out we both had the same name.. Juliana.
And the company calls her nickname Juls...
but.. but...that's exactly what my friends call me.

Juls!!!

Weird thing is.. many people say we look the same, act the same...
Both Juliana's in 3M. Both outgoing, crazy and out of this world.
So the older colleagues made a pack..
"If we have daugthers, we are never going to name them Juliana"
So i asked them..."Why la?"
They all replied ... "Hard to control lar..headache only!"
Muahaha...

Anyways here is a pic of me and her..

Rest in Peace Uncle Loga

My deepest condolences goes to Aunty, Vig and Dasha.
He was a super duper great guy always filled with lots of love and happiness.
His days in this lifetime will never be forgotten.

I recieved a sms today from James today saying Uncle Loga was in critical conditon at 9.58 am.
So i decided to call at 10.57 am to see if he was okay and if everyone else was okay.
Vig didn't pick up the phone but instead Dasha did.
She was crying and i could hear the background everyone crying.
...shit!...Then and there i knew i called at the wrong time.
Dasha told me about Uncle Loga..
Suddenly i felt like time just paused...
I felt so weird.. I didnt know what to do..or what to say.
Only thing that went thru my mind was...
"I am going back penang tonight!"
So i walked into my superior's office and requested a half day leave.
Elaine, Sheena and ian also agreed to go back with me.

The schedule for this would be.
Leave work 5 sharp..
Go home straight wait for Elaine and Ian+sheena.
Start driving to Penang.. Visit Vigs house directly

Work at 1pm.
:S major orders coming in tmrw. ARGHHH!!!

Sms

So yesterday, while i was watching Shrek 3 in Summit.
I felt a vibration from my handbag.
I took out my phone to see "1 new message"
So i click..."read"
It was a message from Andre in Thailand.
Gosh you can't imagine how happy i was to receive it.
He told me he and Bruno were extending their stay for another 2 months in Koh Tao and asked if i was going to visit them.
Sigh.. i couldn't... work started :( Oh how i wish i could go there and get my diving license done .
Today the sms i received was sad..
*no more details for now*
Sms-es can bring a smile to a person but also bring a sigh...or tears.
