Its going to be another blue monday
Yes, and its not even here yet.
I just lost my freaking handphone for the first time in my life. Yeah, I dont even know how its being done. I would usually forgot to bring my handphone to work almost 3 times a week and I will have to go back home to retrieve it. My work depends on the phone because I am usually outside and my parents find it amazing that I can actually go out without the phone. You know when I was young, I would forget to bring my school bag when I go to school. =) Thats Ms Koh for you.
This is the 2nd day and tomorrow will be the 3rd. I am slowly starting to enjoy, being handphone-less. I was thinking can I make it a week? Boss would probably start jumping and maybe be kind enough to buy me one. Wishful thinking.
When was the last time you go without your mobile?
Its such a gloomy SUnday already, can you imagine what happens when Monday comes?Labels: monday blues, Random post

AT last, a monday that is not blue...
If you know me, you will know how much I dread going to work on Mondays. I simply turned BLUE. You know Violet in Chocolate's Factory? That is what will happen to Joanne on Monday, she becomes Vioanne and I wonder how you pronounce it.
Somehow, today was different! Early in the morning when I reached office, I received an email from someone who reads like this:-
Dear Joanne,
How are you doing? I hope you are enjoying your work at XXX.
I am planning to write a paper on the use of tracking devices, based on your UG thesis plus some info that I have collected later. I would like to put you as my co-author. Let me know if you agree with this. You need not do any work on this if you have no time. I will do all the writing.
Regards
Joanne's Uni Sup
!!! My first thought is OMG!!! You mean you google scholar for Ms Koh's name and you can find a paper with my name?!?! After that, I cannot breathe. (I know I am such weakling.) I tried to stay calm so that I will not start screaming in office for whatever reasons and I called Mr. BF although I know he should be sleeping because its a school hoilday today.
Me:Hellllooo!! Are you sleeping???
BF: Ya...
Me: XXXXX just EMAILED ME!!! *proceeds to tell him whole story*
I was shouting whispering or whispering shouting because I am so damn excited!
=) So i replied the email and tell him I am perfectly fine with the arrangement and will be happy to work on it. I dont know whatever that co-author means but I suppose it must be something good? He is really one good SUP and the whole afternoon I went daydreaming again (even though I have never ending meetings).
Where did my dreams went to? =) I dont know but the dreams were definitely trying to give my brain the possibility of a permanent head damage.
So exciting and later in the afternoon, its more projects coming in again. Argh...
However, this Monday is not blue. =)Labels: monday blues, Random post

Its all random...
Read about this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_FamÃlia
Yeah yeah, read about that. My first thought was Fwahhh, this is crazy. Designed by Antoni Gaudi, this building is scheduled to be completed only in the year 2026!!! The La Sagrada Familia, gosh gosh gosh...Please read on to find out when construction started and they said 2026 is disputable. You know what, people like me, where we are in the construction industry, we actually hate designs like this, construction unfriendly and can you imagine the labour and money put into it ,but think about it, without architects like him, will there be memorable buildings that is worth those unspeakable feelings you experienced when you are there?
I actually have plenty to say. You know, of the Olympic and stuff... But well, work is tomorrow and i am lazy. If there's a reason why I posted Antoni Gaudi today, thats because I have take on some design work for some public toilets and I aspire to be HIM. Yes, me, completely knowing nuts about design. Hahaha, riiiiight. I am sure he never started out with toilets before. Imagine what he will do with toilets? Yes, I will let you know where so that you can pay a visit if it ever materialise.
Pardon me but I actually is in a midst of a very serious discussion with Ms XJ now...
