My first week at Nielsen

My last day at Caterpillar was on 31st March 2009. and I had like 5 days of rest before I start on the new job at Nielsen.

the 3 weekdays after my last days passed super fast. I was out every day from Wednesday to Friday. Having enjoyed a tai tai life for that 3 days!! haha.. high tea, rather, was drinking my coffee bean as usual...

I was in Orchard on Wednesday, buying, spent a BOMB!!! and took a cab back home as I told Dear that I wanted to cook dinner..

Thurs was out with Dar, to Vivo, shopped like no one biz there also..haha

Friday, was in Orchard, again. went to collect all the travel documents, air tickets, travel insurance, hotel confirmation. After that, headed to Raffles Hospital, for my pre-employment check-up. and I waited for like 2.5hrs there.. Did a little shopping at Bugis, nothing to buy. Met up with Thurga, for dinner. Wanted to shopped at Marina area, but we are not in the shopping mood, as nothing seems to captured our eyes. So decided to have dinner and some catching up..haha

Sat night went out with Dear and his friends for drinks..after that was supper and home.

Sunday was slacking at home, watching tv,sleeping, etc...

Monday was my first day at work at Nielsen, and its located inside Revenue House, at Novena. It takes me 1 hr to reach my work place...Dear came and pick me up on my first day...

And almost all of my friends are working in town, and I never went back home straight after work!!! Basically, every day is after work, meeting up with them for lunch, or dinner...A short work week, cos its Good Friday on Friday..

I am into my 2nd week, and every thing is fine. Enjoying every moment of it..The best part is that, I can dress as pretty as I like, without feeling out of place..so every morning its what to wear, which shoes to go with, which bag shall I carry...haha..totally a super vain pot now! (was already a vain pot in Cat, and now, it has become worst!!)...

Shall update more, when I have time. Till Then!

Is there a class sepcially for people who don't know how to dress both UP and DOWN????!!!!

THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL VIEWS!!!!

I have seen to many to pen down this entry......

But I have to admit that I am quite boring when come to dressing, maybe because 95% of my stuffs are in black, like almost every one who knows me says:" black is my "uniform""..haha

I think some one should really set a school which will teach people (from young to old) with no dress sense how to dress like a human or normal person.

I am not saying about being glamorus or something, at least something that will suit every occissions. And through "trial and error" to find something that will bring out your best features, and not go blindly with what's in and what's hot.

I am some one who will not care what's in fashion, to me, dressing up the way I am comfortable will keep me happy for the whole day. I have no problem with which heels to which outfit, which bag to which, blah, blah, blah, blah, because, all my heels are in black, and my bags / heels are to go with whatever dresses/tops I have at home, and not the other way round. Cos, heels and bags are easier to buy rather than tops and dresses.

If I feel that I am underdress for a shopping trip in town, I will just refuse to go, and if I go, I will most probably show a super black and pissed off face. (Every one can vouch for this)

I am a strong believer of this RULE: If you wear a revealing top, you should wear a longer bottom, and if you are wearing hot pants, you should wear T-shirt, a nice top with sleeves, a tanktop. But, this is purely out to the individual on how "covered" is their "covered".

For the young, its understandable, cos we have been there, and done that, but for people who are 40++, 50++ and still dresses like young gals, short shorts/skirts, spag, off shoulder, tank top, I really think there is a problem, this is regradless of how slim your are. Cos no matter what your face, skin texture has "played" you out. Unless, you are those super rich tai tais, that can go facial, botox, spa, etc, etc, almost every day, to maintain that youthful skin. But then again, did you see any tai tais, dresses this way?? Short, revealing stuffs???? These short, reaveling stuffs, when you wear at 40++, 50+, these are more suitable for those standing in Geylang. Even if you are 20++ towards 30, I still find it not that appropriate to dress revealing tops, n short shorts lor..also like thoes in Geylang..(Pardon me, I know I am bad!!!But a lot there are like this mah.)

Not that I am saying, you can't wear revealing tops or short shorts, but these doesn't really go hand-in-hand. Like what the RULE states (I am sure almost every one knows about this, but there are a lot who dont go with this), "reveal" only the upper half, or the lower. Revaling both can be quite an eyesore.

I am not conversative ok, I have lots of tops that are revealing, but I make it a point to wear with jeans/pants. I don't want to look as if I wanna "sell meat".

I remembered there was once on the train, I saw this ah ma (60+), she was wearing a bright pink long top, the lower part of top is the "pom pom" kind, a hot pink tights, a purple cardi, a red and white poka dots hairband, a hot pink shoulder bag, a pink shopper bag...I nearly "fainted" seeing this.

Also, one gal, having a "currypuff" on her head, and she still wear hairband. Common lah, decide on whether "currypuff" or hairband lah, duhz.

And also, one gal wearing a shawl with a super short dress, that nearly show her butt. (and she is not those slim nor meaty kind, its ***).

I think I better don't comment too much on what people wear...karma..haha..

You muz be thinking, I keep saying this wear not nice, that wear not nice, so I am the perfect one with no sala, wrong, bad dressing day.

Common lah, I have lah, we are just human ok. I wore my hairband with a chanky earings, mind you, my hair band is with dark crystals not the simple one color kind lor. And I really look like a "siao za bor" with too much things on my head.

I wore a short dress, and that "showed off "how fat my legs are lor. I was rushing for work, and I can't find my tights. And in the end, I was pulling and pulling the dress down just to make it longer. Ok lah, its actually the ok length for every one, about 5 fingers above knee, but I have got fat and fair legs and I am going to work and not to some party...I just feel super foul mood for the whole day, and went straight home after dinner.

And also going out with my gaisha/opera makeup in T-shirt and shorts to neighbour shopping area. I am so used to makeup before going out. I only intend to apply a bit of conceler, loose powder, but its all so naturally to apply my full make up. Yah, but these happen only like less than 5 times when I am at home. And I dont apply make up while going down to my house market for food. And there are more..hahaha...

Yes, I complain on how bad people wear, and did nothing on how well people dresses. Please lah, its always the ugly things that we will remember. Pretty things, they won't leave any much impression, or rather, who will complain about pretty things??? *winks*
