My biggest hobby in life
POSTED ON Sunday, March 24, 2013 AT 3:34 AM \\
Today I shall talk about my favorite hobby which is........SHOPPING!
I know I must sound like a mountain tortoise but today my sister introduced me to qoo10.com and OMG, I nearly went crazy with the amount of stuff they had for sale!
Qoo10.com was formerly known as gmarket and they've been around for ages. I might have heard of it before but never really got down to browsing through their site as I'm aware that some waiting time is involved because of shipping etc and I'm just the really impatient type! Now I realized what I've been missing all along!
Anyway I managed to get 7 items for under S$100! Here's what I bought:
1) It's skin Babyface Finish Beam in Pink
2) It's skin Babyface Petit Pact
3) It's skin Babyface Pore Powder
4) It's skin Babyface Petit Blusher in Pink
5) 2-in-1 Hair straightener/curler
6) Petitfee Gold EGF face mask
7) Petitfee Gold EGF eye and spot patch
Isn't it such a good deal? 7 items for less than 100 bucks!!! For the curious, the it's skin cosmetics cost about S$7 each, whilst the hair curler/straightener was about $22 (not inclusive of $3.80 delivery charge). I've been looking for a hair curler recently and this is so afforable and in such a pretty pink color as well. Reviews about the product were all quite positive so I think it should be a rather good buy. All in all I'm just super excited and can't wait for the products to arrive at my doorstep!
I've been in a bad mood and retail therapy is just what I need! =) So what are you waiting for? Shop to your heart's content at q0010.com now!

Another random wordy update.

Hi! Feeling kinda bored so I've decided to come fill this space with some nonsense/random updates.
Day 3 in Moscow now and my stomach is feeling much much better. Had a kaya bun and milo on my first day here, then I had 2 kaya buns and a milo the next day and today I actually ate some room service. Happy to say that I kept all my food down, though it was with much difficulty cuz my body kept fighting it. I would take a few nibbles then stop, because my body was threatening to regurgitate the food I've eaten.
However I'm all better now, so much so that I thought I could indulge in a chocolate milkshake. I was wrong. To be honest I wanted to have a milkshake because I was feeling REALLY DOWN IN THE DUMPS. I know right, like again?! 'Amanda when will you start growing up and learn to let go?' Sorry it just doesn't work that way for me. X has been very patient with me but even I can tell that his patience is being severely tested. He told me 'ok you've been maligned. It's unfair. GET OVER IT.' I was bawling my eyes out as I read his message. Don't get me wrong, it's not him being harsh or un-empathetic because he was merely pointing out the truth. That I had to learn to deal with it and not let such petty people/ insignificant things get to me and spoil my otherwise not-too-bad life. Plus it's been like almost a week now and I know I must sound like a broken record constantly harping on the same subject over and over again.
I felt horrible at that moment because I was hundreds of miles away from Singapore and I wanted nothing more than to curl myself up in X's arms and just cry myself to sleep. The comfort and warmth I was desperate for is literally unattainable and I couldn't even FaceTime with my husband because he had unwired his router due to a problem with his home PC. #FML. X is seriously concerned about my emotional state of mind now and he's aware of how affected I am over this matter. It's like a dark cloud following me everywhere and I can't shake it off. I'm letting it take over my life in a very unhealthy manner by constantly dwelling on it. I could be okay for a few hours and then suddenly the angst just takes over without warning. He even advised me to seek some counseling because I can't seem to let go. Suddenly I'm the one with a problem when it's some stupid f**king bitch who started it by writing in a false complaint about me? I know X means well, but I don't need counseling. What I need, is revenge. And don't tell me success is the best revenge, because that's not true. REVENGE IS THE BEST REVENGE.
Anyway I did some research on this and it's disheartening to know that Singapore has no legislation on workplace bullying. So meaning what? Your boss can just accuse you of some wrongdoing, wreak havoc on your life and just get away with it? I know WTF right. Dead end. I can't sue that bitch.
Let's move on from the negatively depressing to something more positive instead. Many friends, people whom I didn't even think cared, actually bothered to contact me and give me words of encouragement. It made me really touched. I'm not a warm, friendly sociable type of person by nature and I'm happy that people cared enough to show their support for me. Eternal gratitude guys, really. I'm also thankful for my great husband, because despite all the shit I'd put him through, all the lack of appreciation for everything he's done for me, he's still sticking around. I know this bitch must be so bitter because her husband probably doesn even give a shit about her, that's probably why she tries to make other people's lives miserable. I will not let you have the pleasure of succeeding muahaha!
To X - 'It seems like I'm pushing you away everytime some shit happens. But I'm not. I need you more than anything but I guess a lot of my anger got in the way. I'm sorry, I know I've made a mess of things and got you really worried about me. I've always been the immature and impulsive one, and you, you hold me down like an anchor holding down a ship. I don't even know what I'll do without you. Once again, I'm sorry and I love you.'

Neglected this space again and I apologize for getting too caught up with other things in life.
Besides marrying a great husband who's ever sweet to me despite my gigantic flaws, nothing has really gone well recently.
Work-wise, I can only say I'm sick and tired. Literally and metaphorically. Physically and mentally. People think flying is a glamorous job but it is in fact nothing of the sort. NOTHING. If you've been reading yahoo's part 1-3 stories on cabin crew, it's all true. The part about traveling getting old fast, how all you want to do is check into the hotel and sleep for 24 hours before checking out for your next tedious 8-14 hour flight. The only story I didn't quite care for was the sob story of the girl who got herself into major credit card debts due to her vanity.
Anyway the physical lethargy isn't the main reason why I want out. Not being home and spending enough time with my family isn't the issue as well. The straw that's threatening to break the camel's back? Politics. Workplace bullying. I know it exists everywhere in every company, in any line of work, but NOT LIKE THIS. Our workplace is like being in army 24/7. 101 rules to follow, drill sergeants ready to come down on you for the slightest thing, talking down to you like you're some
school kid, and basically just thriving on a reign of terror. I'm not saying everyone is like this, but when u encounter one, just ONE person who has it in for you, it's enough to make you reconsider your options outside.
I guess leaving just because of one lousy bitch who made a false allegation about me seems rash. It may seem weak as well. But judge all you want. All I can say is I've been working damn hard for the past 3 years without taking a single day of medical leave. I take pride in my job and put in 110% every single time, and I've always played by the rules. I've been bullied a few times and I get over it but this time, it's different. I'm not angry. I'm FUCKING angry. Not just at this bitch, but my anger is also directed at the system which claims to be transparent but isn't. The system which basically protects and supports the crew of a higher rank in any situation. Like they even care about fairness and the truth. It's like fighting a losing battle and getting faulted for something I didn't even do is just sickening. It really makes me sick to think that I've put in my heart and soul for this company only to get treated like I committed a capital crime. I'm not even allowed to look at the email containing the actual complaint about me. Tsk. For some reason it's too difficult to press a few buttons just to forward the email to me, and I have to go down to the office if I want a copy of the email in question.
Duh.
I'm going to be away for another 10 days, and I've been fighting a stomach flu of sorts. Having difficulty keeping any food down and my stomach is gurgling and churning away. Ugh. Needless to say I've been eating very very little these few days and it really sucks. I just feel weak all over and I can't wait to get home so that X can take care of me. I really miss him and I just want to apologize for my atrocious behavior towards him recently. This job should be the one to go, not him. I'm sorry that I've taken out my anger on him. He most certainly doesn't deserve it.
Ending off here. Hopefully I'll be back with a happier update soon.
