barbie girl in a barbie world

i have admitted defeat to this world of blog!

oh my oh my...

i still haven figured out how to put my photos



"i'm a barbie girl in a barbie world...it's fantastic...life is plastic..."

welcome to the bimbotic world of PINK PARASOL.

say cheese!

yippee!

today i finally gotten myself down to the print shop!

it's been so long since i came back from peking...

and i haven gotten the chance to develop them...



the trouble with digital prints is that often the pictures get neglected in the camera...

i'm always too lazy to download my stuff to the com.

even when i do get down to it...

it stays in the hard disk for months..

waiting to see light again...



my pictures..dying to be printed on paper...

a R E F I N a L L Y H E R e ! ! !



i'll try to download it here when i get home...

cos i'm being firewalled by our IT techies here...

old sayings...

there is this old saying which my colleague was telling me that day...

and it made me ponder for awhile.



"jiu de bu qu, xin de bu lai..."

literally translates into...if the old doesnt go, the new will neva come...



is it always better to have new things, new environments, even new partners in life?

what happens if we can neva adapt to the 'new'?

what happens if we still live in the old....so accustomed to what we used to have?



the new is often exciting as we percieved it as something fresh, a novelty...

the new often brings little surprises and happy smiles

the new carrys hope and sometimes even a future...



at the end of the day...

this old phrase dawned on me...



"jiu xie bi xin de hao chuan"



i'm still stuck between old and new.

i love my old shoes and they are really comfortable...but i also always constantly looking out for new shoes...

the one

this is a first for me,

the one to be read,

the one that begins...



if this is the first,

then will there be a second?

Irritating with a capital I

some people are really very irritating! take for instance, a craftsman who is doing something for you and suddenly out of the blue you asked him to stop his work and to do another craftwork for you. Okie, he listens to you and stops whatever he was doing and went to start on something fresh. *time ticks on....*

One hour later. You tell the craftsman that u want him to go back to what he was doing previously. hello! you idiot or what? This time round the craftsman said this:

Actually all these are quite easily done. Why don't you go home first missus? I can manage better on my own than to have so many people around me.

Get the hint?

No...You still ask him to do his previous craftswork. And he unwillingly agrees. Sometimes it's easier to finish one thing at a time than to jump from one project to another. i totally agree with the craftsman. I even pity him. Next you ask Indomee to plant numerous trees but to take them out again and drill more holes on the other site. So what is going to happen to those holes without trees? So smart of you. You tell Indomee to sand the balsa wood to powder *eyes rolling* and fill them up. *argh* rights, so the rest of us quietly goes back to helping you plant your trees. And because you keep walking up and down, checking on everyone's neck, you clumsily tripped over a whole glass bottle of ethanol. The glass broke, the ethanol sips through the entire floor underneath our model with lots of wires going pass and poor Indomee's rubber shoes were dissolved. Literally. We had to go downstairs, hunt high and low for a Mama shop to buy a pair of slippers for Indomee. How idiot can you get?

Now the whole room reeks of ethanol, making everyone dizzy and unable to work. We had to open all the doors and windows, on all the fans and stop working. We vacated the premise to downstairs. So you suggest bubble tea. Great. After bubble tea, you tell us...

Er...actually there isnt much for us to do aredi. I think we can go home soon. Dunno whether should we all go for dinner? Cos my other half is jamming, dunno when he will finish...i better call him first.

So just becos your bf is jamming so we are all stuck here to accompany you as spare tyres till your bf is free to meet you? *double argh* this i cannot take it anymore. I AM GOING HOME. But before i left....you started to find faults with the craftsman again and make him do another task. I can see that his patience was running dry.

Craftsman: I can finish these by tonight. No problem.
You: No no...can you do it now. I want to see it now.
Craftsman: ok...*he brings the model over*
You: No...this is too big.
Craftsman goes and measure. And wince. He suggests You come and take a look for yourself.
You: *Hesitate* ...er cant you just make it smaller? And can you finish up all these now. Cos i really want to see it now. The trees doesnt matter now.
Craftsman: Is it that i don't finish this now for you, you will not leave?

if it was me, my face will turn red. But YOU's skin must be seriously thick.

Survivor Day 03

Pinky is down with a right red eye. Must be the late nite over at exile island. What a terrific way to celebrate Vday. After she went back to her tent, pat the dog who was crazily wagging his carrot tail, showered, packed her bags (yes she and wj are spending 2 nites at the scarlett hotel!!! yippee yeah yeah!) Anyway the minute she hit her bed, she fell asleep snoring.

Yesterday Spekkie had the most heated and verbose argument with Planty (member from GreenIsland). They were complaining about each other's working attitudes, shouting and raving. Yes infront of everyone of us here at dpislands. Oh wells, so much drama at conference island. The twins were the first to leave conference island as usual. Next was ahHuay (must be rushing to meet the other half), followed by Floppyhair (another Vday's date) and finally Spekkie who announced that if he doesnt leave then he will be in trouble.

Shinyhead left next together with Pinky and wj. IndoMee was the last to leave. Pinky and wj had their 'fast' dinner at Carl's Junior (830pm cos the challenge took so long and still not completed) along with many other lovey-dovey-eyed couples. They look so out of place and very uncouple-ly like cos they were tired and still have to go back to conference island.

Currently, Pinky is sent to plant numerous gazillion amount of trees at exile island. Good luck to her and her swollen eye.
