Helping VS Responsibility

Recently the term "HELPING" seem to have a whole different meaning to me! I have offered to help many people in terms of work wise, not like I brag about it. However, helpful does have a price to pay coz people start to change it to be a "RESPONSIBILITY" thing. Not sure which dictionary they are using but this isn't my kind of definition. It is at times like this that makes me think that Helping is not a good thing coz it only brings more trouble to you. So much for the kindness and that is why people like me tend to lose or HUMANITY and become Ruthless BEAST!

Reconcilation

I always hate doing Bank Reconcilation coz it is always so tedious when comes to the ending part of balancing part. Checking is alright...

And recently I have to do a reconcilation for something else which again is HELL... nonetheless, I manage to survive. YIPPY? Not sure ;)!

希望 -> 失望

希望 - also known as Hope 失望 - also known as despair, loose hope, disappointed

Many times we put hopes into something we very much wanted but to find in the end we end up being despair and disappointed when it didn't quite came through for us. Thus, the saying would go, 不要有希望 ... 就不会有失望! Elimate the hope and then you will not feel disappointed.

Recieved an SMS over the weekend

I recieved an SMS message on my mobile phone over the weekend in the middle of the night. This is no regular SMS message from a friend. It states that she is divorced and a free person.

After receiving message like this, I didn't quite reply to her. Well, what can I say? "Congrats that you are a free person"? Doesn't really sound right? It does disturb me some way as to why she send SMS announcement like that but can only guess that she don't want someone she know asking her about her husband. Guess I should be happy for her that she is happy? This is just wierd and mixed feelings. Just one thing to add which is "SPEECHLESS"!

If I have 1 Billion Song

This song is very popular especially in the Teochew version. Just this morning the radio was playing this song but it is in Chinese Version. So I asked the Uncle who was driving me to work is this song's lyrics the same as the one in the Teochew version and he replied yes.

The lyrics states that if I have 1 billion smackroos, I will do this and this and that..... somethings that was listed in which he will do includes eating SuShi everyday, buy shares, drive a Benz... the funny part is if he spent it at this rate, his 1 billion will turn into zero. Buying shares? It is so risky and practically throwing money into drain if you do not know what to buy and what not to buy.

For me, if I have 1 billion, I would buy land or even set up my own company to generate more money. I will spent it on buying property and many of it and have it rent out or even stay in it for awhile to enjoy life. After bored with it, sell it and I am still rich. Buy a car, may be not coz car depreciate too fast down here so it is not worth it. Thus, the idea of money make more money so that money won't run out that fast.

Final Episode of Reaper - Finally Caught Up

With busy schedules and no time for television like ever since my second child came, I finally able to catch up with my favorite show "The Reaper". Thanks to Technology people called Internet.

My Review for the final episode? SUCKS
Stupid ending! Andy sold her soul to the devil for Sam and stupid Sam go blow his chance to buy his contract for his soul with the devil. Then he broke his hand when he shake his hands with Steve the angel. Steve is an angel and he do that! Unbelievable! Ending with both looking at Steve go up to heaven gaining his wings coz he broke Sam's hand. How can this be a good ending. No wonder it was CANCELLED.. abrupt ending!

Tarot Card - My Fortune Told

Ok... I have a tarot card of my own and so I laid my cards for a reading for myself and the guidance I needed. Been feeling the so sick of the job coz I have travel far, the stupid bus uncle
with his always late bus and always running up and down the stairs to do support. I laid the cards several times in fact and each time the answer is the same.

The Intepretation Says

Financially Stable
Things will change
Promotion (few occassion got this interpretation)
Patience

Ok the financially stable I do agree. Things will change, I will also agree coz the last time I laid it when I have issues, it came through. I don't quite believe in the promotion part though and laughing about that - definitely no me! So .. results is guess I have to hang in there and try to move pass the impatient part of having to wait for the stupid bus. I do wish that SBS will come back to Jurong Island with their service. At least they wouldn't be late!

Tough Week Survied

This week was a tough week with guest here at the company. Then there was issue with colleague who have back stab me coz a cheque I mentioned that they should have communicated and came all at once so that I could help to get my boss to sign them once without having to interrupt her all the time just to sign 1 miserable urgent cheque. Thanks for the "not so understanding" and so much from me for helping them. This is it! I no longer want to help them - but I know it is still not my style to do it. Anyhow, this stupid girl have totally no sense of e-mail etiquette which she send e-mail due to the cheque to irrelevant parties.

Annoying Guest last day - Yippy

Have two annoying guest who are so bossy hanging around in the company for the past few days. Am glad that today will be their last day. Always got last mintue request. Hello this is not your grand-mothers house hor. Please make up your mind hor.

Just glad they are leaving.

P/S: today I have to take taxi to come to work early coz the Auntie Cleaner is sick and couldn't help me make the coffee. Time like this I am sick of working in Jurong Island coz cases like this, I have to get up early and take a cab to work. Haiz

Again another Challenge

This week is a busy week for me as I the maid around the company. Thanks that I have a little help from the Auntie Cleaner. Started the week PEEVED coz of the guest. Then came the all the last minute request from the guest too. So annoying! However, I tolerated it!

The intention of resigning have come across my mind several times this month. Why? Filled with so much frustration on the transport to get here and out of here! Still, sitting at the front desk like a watch dog like that is not bad enough, people annoys me continuously by asking did you see the bus pass by and what time is it. I sit at the front desk but don't mean I watch for everything all the time. I have other work and issue to focus on then other your bus coming already. & for this very reason, I always never like the part about having to be the receptionist part. This is what happens when you are the receptionist. People take you for GRANTED! HEY I ain't no watch dog hor!
