I Love.. And I Hate..

I love...
- Hayao Miyazaki's animated films. They made me smile, laughed and cried.
- smartly groomed men (Korean men's ruffled hairstyle optional).
- loved going on business trips.. I could ogle above-mentioned men without denting my pockets.
- angelic voices from unexpected faces.. faces people deemed not pretty enough. Bravo to Susan Boyle.
- Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong dramas & movies.
- kooky dance-and-sing sequences.
- to complain. J called me the Complaint Queen. *shrug*
- men who can take my grouchy no-talk persona in the morning before I have coffee.
- men who listen to my complaints without any complaints.
- men who just shrug when I spat out Ribena just a centimeter away from their sleeves.
- men who drag me off to coffee breaks when I was depressed & frustrated with imbecilic colleagues.
- men who invite me along for business trips and feel immeasurably guilty when he can't spend time with me on the weekends.
- men who share my love for Hong Kong and distaste for Taiwan.
- men who chat me with on MSN while he's sitting hust in front on me.
- it when people say "go to Sylvie, she'll know what to do.."
- watching people dance. Sadly I have 3 left feet.
- sweating toxins out of the body in Hot Yoga.
- buying skincare products. My bank balance is sighing in disgust.
- to travel, and travel.


I hate...
- watching Hong Kong movies in Singapore. They are all dubbed in atrocious Mandarin!
- going to highly rated eateries cos Singaporeans' tastes inevitably suck.
- people who go to sleep the second they see heavily pregnant women/elderly folks/ parents with kids boarding the train. Karma, people.
- bossy people who think they know everything. Hello, I got tested with Mensa, OK? No numb brains here, and I don't claim to know a lot of stuff myself.
- people who just spew things they read/hear on the way to work to sound knowledgeful. They sound too desperate instead.
- colleagues who acted blur and pushed their responsibilities. WTH, I joined the company two years ago and you're still saying "we're still learning" after the 10th year in the company. Dun make me laugh and puke at the same time.
- men who took off their shoes and rub their feet at my cubicle. WTF?
- men who dig around their shoes sole for (hidden) nuggets of gold. WTF?? With our European counterpart looking on in bewilderment.
- people who come looking me to me to solve their problems. WTF? Am I your boss? Or your mother??
- people who expect me to catch every bloody mistake other people make only 10days before all my new product launches. WTF? Aren't they supposed to be their own job? Since when was my job scope include validating GLOBAL business unit & REGIONAL marketing stuff? The last I heard, I'm in the engineering department.
- people exhorting me to agree to a 5% pay cut when they themselves are getting 10-400x monthly bonuses at year end while I get a measly half-month bonus.
- it when people say "go to Sylvie, she'll know what to do" every hour of the 5 working days. Use your blain, people or they'll rot.
- being tickled in the waist. Even by the best friend. I specifically TOLD her not to do it.
- people who acts blur and refuse to pay up their debts. Karma, people.
- drinking latter with milk. Euuww.
- owing people money.
