Someone asked me this

So someone left at the other office and there was an opening in the CSR. Today I called this man and he asked me this question about him thinking if I would apply for that position. He was disappointed to learn that I didn't apply for it. However, I felt honored by his words as to asking why I didn't applied for that position. He was looking forward for me to join them and he was pretty sure that I would get it if I applied it. It felt at that moment that I have accomplished such great deal. I have win people's heart in some way. Supportive of me. That feel great! That is money can't really buy. Anyway, I said that the position was a bit lower and wasn't what I really want so I didn't applied for it. There will be other chances I said. One thing is that this feeling will never last, would it? A brief moment of fulfilment!

Finally SOLD...

After 2 months, two offered but wasn't at a good price.

Finally one came yesterday and second viewing today and offered and we decided to say SOLD! Though wasn't exactly what we have planned the price we looking for but at least it meets the market price. It was sure a relief! However, this is not the end of it.. 14 days later to see if they got the loan and paid up the balance of deposit. Thank you GOD for blessing me :) and I believe it was that I prayed today that made this come through.. it was all such coincident that everything went into place. The couple reminded me of when I was young getting our new house. They both have same identification alphabets as us. Surprise!

X'mas Shopping at work

Today is X'mas shopping for the company event. Sigh .. what can I say.. I just make jokes about it lor to get through it even though I don't like shopping with the people.

Sickening...this woman wants to be dominion; control everything. The other feels like taking this and that... sigh... sickening shopping with people like that... Last time already..I tell myself.. let the person go take the shit next time. Sickening and selfish person only think about herself. I hate working with people like that but have to put up with it. Irritating ...at least going to end ... tiring day.

Walking back in time

Have this on my list for a long time already and always never have time to get to it.

Finally, today clear leave coz end of the year. Gotta make myself do this. So first on my list to do is visit my kindergarten. Took a bus ride there; glad I met with a good person who noticed that where I was going as I was holding the paper of directions with highlighted indication, told me I that I have hop on to the wrong bus. I get down immediately and went on to the right direction to where I was heading.

Ok .. first thing I noticed when I reached my destination - Serangoon Circus, the junction of Lorong Chuan turning into Serangoon Circus, there still stood the SHELL Station. It was then there and now still standing. Ha ... amazing, I smiled. Next, the food court, still at the same old place but change though... how not to coz of hygiene. THE HONG KONG SHANGHAI BANK .. that was what they used to call it. Today, still stand at that very space my mother once took me to, to do her banking. Chomp-Chomp, still there but don't open in the day time already. All stores are closed.

Well, sometime back I wrote and e-mail to the kindergarten I used to attend about a year book that dates back 1979. Went to my kindergarten and was hoping that I could find the year book of 1979. However, didn't find it coz the person in charge wasn't around. DISAPPOINTED! I did take a brief walk of the place while waiting for the admin to arrive. Wow... it has grown HUGE!

Second in line was to visit my primary school. Wham... still standing there. I thought MOE have removed the building but I was wrong. It is now taken over by Lycée français de Singapour. However, still the same just that color have changed. They both still facing each other like it used to. The roads the same still just that it is blocked and now more houses and a small park next to the school. The gate that used to link to the houses still there. No more canteen tough. The roof we used to play one legged games, was taken off but all else seems so familar. I was filled with contentment.

So that position taken up already by someone I know

So is it irony or what? I told her to apply and she say no lah... but then went to apply. Somehow, today I found out she got the position. Hahhaha.. what irony hor! Should I be jealous? No lah but my heart say yes. Why should I be jealous? Like I suspected this position is reporting to this person. There isn't anything wrong with this person just that I didn't want to lower myself then but why should I now? Sigh ... take lor... no big deal lah... I will get over with it lor. Besides, I am waiting for a bigger fish to come through. Hope this time GOD don't fail me already lah if not I really got no more faith left in me.

Disappointed with BC Centre

Sigh... I thought I found another centre which could be cheaper but I was dead wrong. Made an appointment to try this BC centre for trial. Went there today, and found it to be good coz they have a circular of exercise using equipment and platform. However, here comes... they pressure you to sign up for their membershop NOW! Not tomorrow but NOW! They offer to give you waive off of this membership of certain amount and it sounds very tempting but then I still said NO! Lucky I came prepared! So they are the same like any other centre.. collect money first. Sigh so disappointed! After so many scams out there I thought I found one that I could actually pay by montly basis but no. So I don't think so I would go back and let them pressure me.

Still trying to sell my house

Into 3rd week trying to sell my house. Many have come to visit. In fact it's aready 5 group of people have come to view my wonderful place.

Ok we again got our 1st appointment after the cooling off period and agent want to push the appointment earlier again after the failed attempt to do so. Keep pestering us to re-sign the OTP but we rejected her. We feel that since the 1st failed attempt you think by re-submitting will work?

Its getting better and better?

HR send me this internal ad to be posted at our plant. At the look of it, I already know who the position belongs to (who is resigning) so I confirm it with that person. Hahhaha... I was right! You think I would be interested in applying! Well, no!

They once offered me but didn't take me and now want me to go beg from them? I don't think so! Please... I believe I deserve better than this! I don't need to lower myself for position like this.

Today... lunch? People noticed that I wasn't joining them? Hahhaa... not that I really care. I was too angry to even go in and join them! Why? Isn't it obvious! They already have someone helping so who am I now? Invisible? Forget it! I'd rather be doing things! Don't think I can't tell from pretenders and non-pretenders! Don't fake it!

Boss is promoted!

So it is offical! It is time to get out of here!

Announced made via e-mail that my boss is being promoted to Vice President. What does this means? It means the tarot cards gave me the answer I needed. Its time to leave. Why? I have an agreement with my boss that she let me leave at 5pm and follow the company transport. In return, I will take only 30 mins of lunch and the other 30 mins to replace the time I owe them. If reports change, this thing will not be valid. So time to hunt for a job and leave.

Demoralized at Work!

Lately I have been rather demoralized at work. Why? The reason being someone stab be bad again. The worst part is this person who stab me is a Christian. This have made me wonder Christians... yet they can stab another sister in Christ. So where is justice in that? He can still act that nothing have happened? That is really sad!

Still, not forgetting this woman who claim to be close to me, having been doing some obvious small acts that even blind man can see what she is trying to do. Stop putting an act! She is obviously eyeing for my position. Everybody seems want to please and carry favor to my boss. They are jealous that I am reporting to her and I am doing good at what I do. & should I even pretend I don't know? Should I just resign so let her have this place or should I continue to pretend?

Also, people have been taking for granted. I feel like I am a maid more than a support in this company. Sigh .... ordering food and ordering food and cleaning up the place... feels so depressing with no more challenge.

Finally Settled!

Today, we finalized the OTP of the EM near Woodlands. Finally the hunt is over...and at least I hope so when HDB accepts the ratio at that area in 2 weeks time. If HDB doesn't... at least we still get back what we have paid upfront. After 10 years of staying here, we finally give up with our neighbor. Came home and then they hang their lights over to our end. Sigh.. having neighbors like that really sad! However, we didn't make noise due to it is Deepavali.. and we hope that they will know to remove it after that!

Mis-leading Ads or is it just another good strategy to attract customer?

If you were following my blog, I am still on the topic of hunting for a new home. It haven't been easy and filled with frastration as some housing agents mislead you with believing that there is really a block that is selling but there isn't. They called it "Fake Ad". How it works is that, you see this ad and you call them, and they will either tell you that is sold or they tell you that is fake. Then they try to reel you into viewing another one of the exisiting one they have not sold.

Still, I also noticed that some ad states that it cost so much for this flat but when called, they some how changed it to View To Offer. HELLO!!!! Asking Price indicated and View To Offer isn't the same. So I asked an expert and he says that this is to make it more attractive. Well, to me, it is a mislead ad. People are so desparate even to resort to this way of advertising. Is it even legal? Perhaps I don't understand why must they resort to do this but I do know that it is not right to do that just to get customers and this is what I called "ETHICS". You only waste other people's time in trying to call to make appointment to view and end up not meeting their budget.

Hunt for new House still in progress

Despite the announcement in drop of COV in the Straits Times, things don't seem to be on the bright side. Nothing much have moved nor improved. We are still on the hunt for a new home. Haven't quite seen many that are nice enough we can actually consider buying. Those we like we really can't afford coz they asking a bit high than what we budget for.

& the hunt continues

冤家路窄

This is really 冤家路窄 I think I saw someone from my past. Someone who I used to attend college with. Someone who think she is like very clever and put people down with her cynical laugh. Glad I didn't come face to face to her.

House Hunting - Begin

Sigh.. house hunting can be a stressful thing in thi aera. Why? 20 over years ago, when moving house, we don't even have to think much and just move. However, these days we have to consider the available place to transfer children's school before I start hunting for a house.

You thought hunting is easy but not so espeically when there are so many advertisements out there stating to sell their house but how many are really genuine? Now I realize that! Some even advertise and then even when they sold the unit, they don't even bother to have the ad remove from the internet. Each time you search, their listing comes up. I would check the posting date but some don't come with it. Sigh ....

There is another down side to house hunting... people are asking way over evaluation . The condition of house ain't as you think it would be. At least should have really move-in condition but some not even come close.

& the hunt continues until one suitable one comes up!

My Poor Son knock his head at Child Care AGAIN

Just that day, Wenesday, I received a call from school again on my way back home telling me that my son have knock his head again. Third time in 8 months he have knocked his head in this Child Care Centre... my words is Sigh.....

Later, when I reached home, I was shocked to see that it was so near his eye and I was furious why this have happened. I am not trying pin someone down but feel that tough children run up and down all the time, couldn't they be more careful in avoiding accidents? Sorry to say... but I am one person who always foresee some stuff as potential accidents whereas others don't ... Sigh... he stoped school for a day coz I want the his injury to heal first before he head back. LORD knows what would happen again. Now, I have concern if this is repeated again. I have to look for other school to transfer him again. Argggggghhhh...

Demoralized Day so find Motivational Quotes to perk up!

Thomas A. Edison Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Confucius Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.

Will Schultz Joy comes from using your potential

Norman Vincent Peale People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.

Jim Ryun Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going

BabySitting Service hard to come by?

I used to use this Babysitting Service agent but today came to realize that her business no long exist from ACRA. I have been recommending her business for so long but never call her myself coz I don't need it but others do.

None the less, there are also other agents that have set up similar service like hers. No wonder her business can't carry on. Perhaps this is not the reason, who knows? Its Singapore! Business are hard to do coz there is too much competition around!

Well, to the point! Found two babysitting service agent

Suddenly.. I realize the below words came from my e-mail and meant to comfort me. First verse, "Sorrow or pain.." - God already know that the sorrow of pain I am going through by betrayl & have send this words to me

Second verse, "manipulate truth for selfish gain" - this JERK who betrayed me did just that!

Feast: St Monica: Friday 27th August, 2010 (Lk 7:11b-17)

Dear Friend in the Lord,
Jesus’ Compassion: Jesus’ compassion led Him to raise the son of the widow of Nain to life . Do not limit the Lord’s compassion for us. So, if you have any sorrow or pain, pour out your heart to Him in prayer. His compassion will surely transform you and hope and peace will return to your heart .

F r Philip Heng,S.J.

St Augustine, Bishop, Doctor: Saturday 28th August, 2010 (Mt 23:23-26 )

Dear Friend in the Lord,
Hypocrisy – Daily Living: In today’s Gospel, Jesus condemned the Hypocrites. There are different degrees of hypocrisy – the mild ones are those of us with impure motives. It becomes grave when we deliberately manipulate God’s Name, His Truth and Love for our selfish gain and glory.

Fr Philip Heng,S.J.

The truth will set you free - AMEN!

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

The Christian is to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, always. Once again, it is an issue of integrity. Let's begin by defining the word itself. What is a false witness? A false witness is anyone who bears witness either through conversation or testimony a word about another that is less than or different than the total known truth. You can be a false witness in a court of law, in a personal dispute, or in idle conversation. You are a false witness if you repeat one idle word of gossip that is either untrue or unnecessary to the conversation.

You are a false witness if you, by word or deed, undermine the character or integrity of another to another other than the one in question. You are a false witness anytime your words or facial expressions indicate an unhealthy attitude towards another while you are pretending to be to that person anything different. Anything you say or do that consciously or unconsciously could be used against another makes you a witness against them. If it is unnecessary or at all less than true, you are a false witness. It is an issue of integrity. The Bible has a lot to say about bearing false witness. Let's take a look at some of those principles:

Principle 1- God hates it. God hates it when we bear false witness or bend the truth in any way affecting another. Proverbs 6:16 tells us that there are six things that are an abomination to the Lord and seven things that God hates. In verse 19 the list includes "a false witness that speaks lies".

Principle 2- A false witness is deserving of whatever penalty the wronged defendant would suffer. Deuteronomy 19:16 says this -

16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong,

17 Then both the men between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges.

18 The judges shall make an inquisition and behold, if the witness be a false witness and hath testified

falsely against his brother,

19 Then he shall do unto him as he had thought

to have done unto his brother. So shalt thou

put evil away from thy midst.

Healing in Process

Everytime I talk about what happen I cry! Anyway, I breakdown again! I will pray for your soul that God will have mercy on you when you die!



- I am healing. I have been hurt bad if you have been reading my blog. I have given back the money asking to the JERK for buying alcohol chocolates from Germany. He didn't take but I don't care. I still shove it back in his face! I don't owe you anything. Don't try to be holy coz you rott in my books already.

Confession

So I was sadden and hurt by this thing. BETRAYL! That is why I lost my believe in "friends" they are never true. Helping people and don't expect anything from them except that they treat me the same but it always never happen

& I confess that I have commented something and am wrong. I told father I not sure if I being a Catholic is a correct path. I seen things ... things I don't understand. Things I feel hurt about but not within control. I ask our GOD or LORD.. why have you shown me this? I said already I wish to be blind to see the ugly side of human. I am not saying that I am perfect! I have flaws too but I do try to practice what I could. Still, trying today to perfect it.

I try to

1. Bring laughter to everyone
2. To help people when they are down this also have been taken for granted. In turn, I been treated more like a maid. Sad but true!
3. To try to be their mirror but guess this have several time been mistaken with evil intentions

& still I refuse to believe that the world has die of good people who really practice what they believe in. Am I wrong to say this? I really do not know! GOD perhaps you need to help me out! Father have said that I need to distance them. May be he is right coz they giving me all the bad vibes.

Betrayl

I am saddened by my comments to someone I trust have been travelled into my boss ear! I know my boss not angry but I think it is my fault for trusting this person. Now, I really feel that so STUPID! I think that I should let a religion "C***"go coz it has been quite disappointing to work with people like that. Sorry no offence! I have seen many of the same religion and my mum also the same! It makes me wonder that if I should continue to being in this religion after distance for so long! SHUT UP OK!

Beauty World @ Bukit Timah

15 years ago I used to go to this place called Beauty World at Bukit Timah quite often as I work near there. Today, I still go there but not as often as before. There resides this three store that consist of a good Chinese Mutton Soup, Fried Oyster, Rojak, Roti Prata and Teh Tarik. They are all in one stretch which is my favorite. They have been there since then and perhaps even longer!

Beauty World, used to be a place where there are many things you can buy. Things are cheap there. However, today, it seem to be like a forgotten shopping mall that no one wants to be caught dead in! Hardly any people goes there, no crowd, and just some wide space for kids like mine to run about. I don't know how all these people can survive! I think most of them are either closed down or move out as the traffic there is always nuisance to get to the shopping in this area so business isn't as good as it used to be or like to be. Besides, the carpark is also old and was caught people being break into their car. Thus, people generally left thinking of coming here to shop. Still, not forgetting there are more shopping malls these days near home. Besides, weather these days are typically weird and exeptionally hot. People then would rather choose to stay at home or shop near by.

Beauty World, no longer what it used to be. It now stands there with only memories for those who can remember it! Alternative, a place for those who maid agency and other employment agencies. Sad but true!

Waffle @ Prima Deli Jurong Point

After work, I always drop by Jurong Point and noticed that the basement Prima Deli always has a que form there. Why? People are queing up to buy this waffle that spreads with a few selections which includes kaya, chocolate, cheese, peanut butter. So, after passing a few times without buying and always having to endure that aroma, I finally thought of gaving it out a try.

I waited in the que for 15 mins and while was in the que, I keep noting what flavor most people order. I realize that chocolate seem to be the most popular one. Thus, when it was my turn, I did the same; ordered chocolate. So.... my feedback? Well, it is just an ordinary waffle and it isn't crispy either. I wonder why on earth there would be a craze for it. It isn't all that fantastic and it cost me S$1.70.

Opportunity to Grow?

Just came into office not long and my boss came to look for me. What is it? Well, she said that our new boss mentioned that there are intentions that this particular department in future will expand and was wondering if I could help out. Then, I wonder why this thing came out and why me! I thought is was creepy at first coz this was in my plan for the future when my exising reporting boss no longer works here but later, I gave in some thought and realize that what was going on.

Some time back I did mention some things about my plan to this particular person. Guess when management ask for help, she came through for me.

So.. I just said to my boss ... I will give it some thought. Meanwhile, I also took this opportunity to ask her how she feel about it. I am indeed glad to hear her side of her story that really indeed show she appreciates me alot and definitely hate to share me with others. However, she did leave the decision to me.

Thus, over this weekend, I have list down the time spend on my work. What I want to say to my boss and what are my requirements are if I were to extend my help to them. Hey.. what can I say... this is to protect me hor!

U Family Talk

Sometime back I registered this talk "Motivating your child..." by U-family also known by NTUC. It is a lunch time talk that last for an hour.

Went there to hear the talk today and found it an hour was really short. The presenter sped through the presentation like a train. Very informative though especially when he mentions about the four pillars in a child. One thing he did mention that seems to apply to my child is the problem sometimes kids don't write their words properly. He mentions that this is due to the "Visual Pillar" is still weak. Generally, many attend this talk! Perhaps they work nearby and need not apply leave like I do! Hahhaa

After which this talk ended, I am suppose to give an evaluation. NTUC, this feedback is for you! Want a feedback, provided a pen but the pen don't even work; NO INK! Well, I also learn from this that next time.. put a pen in my bag.

Came home to do some research in how to improve the pillars and found that there isn't much to go on but only to eat more nutritious food also known as "Brain Food".

Long in line Project

Finally my long in line project, one of which many, is finally moving. Sigh... with all the time spending on resting after falling sick and also busy schedule with kids and after tired work, my projects have been on hold. Not moving .... always trying so hard to get it moving but somehow am always taken up by something else in line.

Sigh... think some spirit is attaching to me coz I am always weak and also angered easily. As if this spirit is feeding on my anger to make it stronger. Not sure is this just my intuition or just being sensitive. However, I never felt so easily angry before. Perhaps that was when before I have kids to drive me crazy! Hahahhaa

Still in line projects include
1. making the bag
2. Trainings plan this year

Training ... Business Analyze Report using Excel Course

Ok.. I found this over the internet the other day and recommended it to my colleague who is looking out for more courses. Then, he turn around to tell me to attend instead coz he feels that it would be benefit more. He also suggested that I bring up to my boss to pick this knowledge up from her. I like " ?" Interesting.... yah would be great to learn this... and then hahhhaa... gave it some thought for a moment and said... are you kidding? Yah it would be great to learn this but if I put it across to my boss, it would later become my responsibility. I like NO WAY! Besides, I have no intention to climb the co-operate ladder why should I be learning to do this? Sorry ... I'd rather be doing something else. Besides, HELLO ..... I am already doing so many things for other people so don't need this to be value added to me... I'd rather pick something else to fulfil my "value added" to the company.

Feel good to Fire Back

Chinese have one sayin that goes, "I don't open my mouth, don't mean I am a sick cat!" Thus, today I open my mouth and fire back the person I am so angry with.

WHAT you think I am? I am no punching bag hor! Although you manager don't mean you can punch me hor! JERK! Anyway, why I write e-mails becoz you got an uncontrolled temper ... so GO AWAY!

"D" Stands for Donkey?

No Offence to those with name that starts with "D". This post is direct at some people that I happen to work with. So, here me rent as I write this.

Somehow, I seem to dislike the "D"! Names with the "D" seem to represent Donkey! They are pissing me off! Just today one "D" got fratrated and start venting his anger on me. I take it cool and say... ok whatever.... then SMS and tell the other "D" what this "D"have told me. Anyway, I don't really care! I leave it to them to fight it out. It is just that it is so sickening to work with people like that!

CEO's Visit

Well, today is an important day coz the CEO of my company is visiting! So .. things have to be in tip top shape, needless to say!

Got the cleaners to come ... as usual... they didn't do a good job and have to made them come again to do up the rest. For this reason, I never push this until the very last day to do coz there is always something against things. Perhaps is the Feng Shui.. never know but never care either.

My boss did a funny thing! She told me she called the CEO to come down to shook my hand. I like errrrhhhhh... I do am happy that she did that for me coz as she said.. not many people get to shake the hands of CEO. I am so touched by her gesture to do that for me! Well, at moment like this guess I should consider myself really lucky to be working here. Is this God's way of telling me that this is my final destination in a job? I do not know but only hope that is true and God will make it stay this way forever. However, things are not always predictable whoever knows what will ever happen tomorrow? Things change ... people change...

Saw past colleague

Everyday I pass by this taxi stand near Admiralty MRT and on some days I saw an x-colleague Don Wang standing there waiting for a cab. I ask myself why is he waiting for a cab; thinking he is still in the x-company I was in. I haven't been in touch with him for quite sometime. Why? Read on to find out why!

On many occassions it ever came across my mind to walk to him and say a "Hello" and even find out about how the other colleagues I concern about are doing but somehow I changed my mind. For one thing why I change was that.... it's morning peak hour and rushing for work.. where got time! Anyway, what really hit me most I once read in this word of wisdom book, it states that friends come and go all the time so don't be so worked up about it if they leave you behind. It tells me to move on! This statment have been kept in my mind all along and thus I walked away instead of even saying "Hello". Besides, they chose to believe in the "someone" who have hurt me bad. They chose to believe in her words against mine and never took the time of the day to even keep in touch with me nor hear my side out. Guess... they took her words against mine. Sad but guess it is also good in which allows me to cut off the memory from the past and really move on without hanging in the past. Guess you call that blessing in disguise? I do!

Feeling better

1 week have past and I am finally doing much better already from the gastric pain I had last week. I have stopped coffee for the time being especially morning intake. Have switched to drinking milk to stop the acidic in stomache. Drink quite frequent ginger tea to help ease digestion. Take my vitamin pills to perk up back my energy I lost during that past 1 week of illness. Now I am better but must continue to take care. Am eating bananas whenever I feel hunger to also help ease the stomache pain from coming back.

Major Gastric pain

The Chinese Fortune stated that this year I would be strike by the illness star. The least did I expect it to come so soon.

In the early morning of Sunday, I got this hunger pain. So got up to cook some instand noodles and cover the hunger and went back to sleep. Later, the pain become stronger. Ok... went to see doctor in the morning.. got a jab... took medicine.. until end of the day.. the pain didn't go away. Went to check myself into the hospital at Tan Tock Seng. Got another two more jab. Contributed some blood to be tested, and was on drip for two hours. Just after the jab was injected to me I immediately show some allergy reaction with rashes. However, it just clear up after half an hour or so.

For the next one week, no oily food, on horrible medication to reduce gas and have to vomit feeling. Still, like that is not enough, the pain of gastric is draining me dry until my legs are even too weak to walk to work nor climb up the stairs. I struggled for the whole week. Plus towards end of the week, I strain my neck, got backaches all over and was having flu and also mences came at this time. You see .. how can I not be drained from all this illness all at the same time?

Why Catholics eat fish on Friday

As a Catholic, I always try to follow the ways of a Catholic like eating fish on Friday. I don't know the real reason behind it but I know is a penace we have to pay back. So I just so call follow blindly with tradition.

Just the other day, I was taking lunch with my Catholic colleague and he started to talk about what is the reason behind it. So got me into this adventure to find the truth.

Well... this is what I found
=================


Christians have fasted (gone without food) and abstained (gone without certain foods, especially meat) since the beginning. The Book of GenesisNoun 1. Book of Genesis - the first book of the Old Testament: tells of Creation; Adam and Eve; the Fall of Man; Cain and Abel; Noah and the flood; God's covenant with Abraham; Abraham and Isaac; Jacob and Esau; Joseph and his brothers
Genesis teaches that all the plants and animals Plants and Animals are a Canadian indie-rock band from Montreal, comprised of guitarist-vocalists Warren Spicer and Nic Basque, and drummer-vocalist Matthew Woodley.[1] They are signed to Secret City Records.
that God created and entrusted to human beings are good, especially those given to us as food (Genesis 1:29). Jesus taught that nothing that a person eats makes him or her evil (Mark 7:18). So why then do Christians fast and abstain?

What then is the significance of abstaining from meat? And why eat fish? The tradition suggests a number of reasons. Some say that forgoing meat was forgoing a luxury, as meat was relatively rare for most people. This certainly would have been true in the ancient Mediterranean world in late winter-our time of Lent. Today this hardly seems true, since seafood is the luxury and hamburger costs pennies. And besides, the tradition is to abstain fromabstain from
verb refrain from, avoid, decline, give up, stop, refuse, cease, do without, shun, renounce, eschew, leave off, keep from, forgo, withhold from, forbear, desist from, deny yourself, kick (
meat, not necessarily to eat fish. Eating vegetables suffices.

The practice of eating fish is related to the day we typically abstain from meat: Friday. This is the day that Christ died, so abstaining from the shedding (and consuming) of blood seems appropriate. Friday, the sixth day, was also the day that God created animals, so abstaining from meat is a symbolic "stay of execution" for cows, pigs, and sheep--just as the cross saves us from eternal death.

Petty Man

Ok... this is hilarious! No offense to all the guys in this earth but I have really never seen a petty man before. So what happen to gentlemen these days? Have they all disappear or is it just me who never get to meet them?

This issue again started with this IT manager refusing to let go even I told him to coz of different views. So you think news don't travel in office? DEAD WRONG! News travel and if you think that what you say would not travel then you are wrong. People don't have to use phone nor television to get news these days. They use air and mouth to travel. Hahhaa to technology!

Ok this petty men didn't let go and he just let go to another higher person. Then, somehow, God seem to help me or is it some instinct told me that I need to tell this story to this person and then BAM.... he told me this petty guy did this thing. Ok... I got pissed off and past ...... thinking about it.. I feel that this petty person is stupid .. and I pitty him coz for doing this petty thing... he will deserve to be punished just that it haven't come to him yet but it will all in time. This will be his 报应

Fair?

Well, life isn't always fair! I learn that long ago and have learn to accept it. So again, my colleague always claim "like this not fair what". Then, I ask her, you want to talk about "fair", it is never fair in this world! & I continue with the below

If life were fair, I will be a rich woman sitting at home and enjoying life.
If life were fair, I no need to work, endure crap out of bosses and end up hopping from one job to another.
If life were fair, I would be wearing a 20 carat diamond on my finger and not caring if it is heavy for my hand to lift up
If life were fair, I have maids to serve me without having me lift up a finger
If life were fair, I will be driving BMW or limo
If life were fair, I will be living a three floor semi-detach house.

But I didn't have any of the above that I have thus far mentioned. So don't tell me what is "fair" coz life isn't FAIR ! So don't think about being FAIR in this world coz there isn't one to begin with!

Training Over

Ok.. I asked for this training and today is offically over. I feel a bit sad :( .. fun ended so fast.

However, the training was interesting. I thought I was organized and after going through this course Staying Organized in SIM, I noticed that I can be even more organized and thus the course name "Staying Organized" hit me. So ... though you may be organized already you can go and upgrade to be even more organized.. Hhhahha funny!

The instructor Lynn Hayden was fun and she made this course very interesting. She share her experiences and even bring in examples to show us. She even create games to make us think.

Disney Birthday Book

I send my son's photo with his details to disney playhouse 1 month in advance to appear in the birthday book for the month and that day I receive a mail from disney playhouse informing us that my son have been selected to appear in the disney playhouse birthday book for the month. However, the catch was that they would not be able to tell us exactly what time his photo will appear on television. We have to keep watching. Finally, after 3 tries or so, I think, we caught hold of my son's photo in the last one of the day which aired at 10:25pm. Hahhahha...

Stupid Service & Stupid IT People

Sigh... this IT person came barking at me coz a stupid vendor is too lazy to do paperwork. What is up with this world? Vendor provide bad service and can bark at my door? This IT Manager commented that "Customer is NEVER right" I think something is wrong with his head coz the kind of service he gets is lousy service then that I can understand why he likes that kind of lousy service. I never like lousy service and never pay for lousy service either. Only stupid people do stupid things like that! & that is why he is IT Manager and never a customer ... hahhahahahhha....

10 Million Dollar TOTO

Ok results out for the 10 million dollar TOTO... so was I even one of them?

Answer: Ofcourse not! If yes, guess I won't be writing this blog ever again! I will be doing something else like buy a HUGE house and gloat at it. Hahhahaa.... and I don't even have to check to numbers .. just have to check where the winning ticket come from coz if it doesn't appear, likely that is not the ticket you bought from and you are not the winner. Pooof! There goes my dream of 10 million out the window just like a german gas.

Company Dinner & Dance

After almost 2 years in the company, finally there is an Annual Dinner & Dance. I should be happy and excited about it in which I was. Why I used past tense, well... here is the story...

Ok.. Shanghai Suprise was the theme.... so have to wear Cheong Sam...One thing about wearing Cheong Sam, if you don't pick a good one, it may make you look fat or even worst make you look old. Sigh... good ones..errr... they are expensive... Cheap ones look just as nice but may certainly not beat the good ones lor.

They serve the food at almost close to eight after the speech. Boy! I am starving and I think most of people there are too. Anyway, I sat with other people from other area of department. Not due to this I am not happy with ... it is always the people that spoil it for me :(... First of all getting to the dinner is one thing... so anybody take care of me ? HELL ....NO! And that is what I get paid for all the 'thinking about other before myself' does. Perhaps I should stop that! I haven't quite learn the lesson that it doesn't really pay to be good to others at times especially those that always ask for favor from you and hardly ever return favors back to you. I am really sick of this but does it even matter? Some did ask but can't do much. One got ask but too late I found a good man to drive me there.

Second, I got drunk for the 1st time. Perhaps is becoz I was so hungry that I kept drinking the wine so that I can leave early to have my kids picked up. Head was heavy and really drunk when I bring my kids home wobbling on the way back home. Hahhahaha lucky managed to stay in one piece.

One small thing in which I was happy about is that my table got a gift. Yippy!

Pains in the back lately

Went to see Dr. Loh on Friday and told him about my long term pain in the back near the neck. Cervical pain.. send me to go SATA for an X-ray and spend $42 bucks. Sigh .. no choice... 3 days to come back with results.

Ok.. haven't been sleeping well either and it is due to worry of the results. There is pain on my lower back. Don't know why coz it just came lately and I am not sure is this even due to the cold I am having which seem to be a minor one compared to the many colds I have in life. hhahha

團圓饭 - Reunion with incomplete family

Ok... this year reunion dinner is on the actual day. Almost didn't made it on the actual day coz brother-in-law wants to have it 1 week early so that he can get to his father-in-laws place in Malaysia. Last year, we did that to accomdate him and this year, he tried his luck again. WHO ever eat reunion dinner so early as 1 week? If you call that reunion dinner, I call it bull-shit! What happen to TRADITIONS? This year we all got FED UP and say if you want to eat reunion dinner early, might as well not have one coz you are not even sincere eating together with your family so why even bother?

Well, my husband did the cooking coz I have to look after the young one. He sticks to me so a bit difficult to cook. Anyway, was a bit disappointed with the mushroom with black moss coz it didn't taste right. Sigh ... there goes my expensive mushroom :( sorb sorb.... didn't quite eat much... not sure why..But at least we have reunion dinner ... just without brother-in-law.

The Hunt for Cheong Sam for D&D Event

Ok .. today on leave to run errands again. Try to squeeze some time to go to some place to check out some Cheong Sam for the coming company D&D.

Checked out Chinatown Cheong Sam and wow they got a few but no price tag to it neither did I ask how much was it. That was stupid of me :(! Perhaps I was hoping that I could find some better designs than the one in Chinatown.

So went down to do other things before landing up in Centrepoint. Damn... so much changes ... didn't know the so called Specialist Centre is no longer there. The building is gone and got few buildings up. Suah Koo ....!

Anway, went to check out

Lady Xiang... HELLO... the door is close and no one inside? Hey ... no doing business har?

Mazzario ... heard so much fans online... They got fans from Facebook too... Besides.. their Cheong Sam design when I seen it online was like WOW! So went down to take a look coz they didn't even care to reply enquiry. May be don't want to tell me the price and want me to come down personally to see. Ok.. went in.. stood there and look at a few of their Cheong Sam and like erhmm... not bad leh... design is very nice .. I like it... errrrr but price hor... very expensive! $200 bucks at most. Lucky not $500.00 plus plus... Guess not within my budget :( so left. I would wonder if their service could be a bit better. I was there standing browsing ... nobody even bother to ask what I am looking for. However, I like it this way at least I can check the price... hehehehhe

Other Cheong Sam store at Centrepoint like vultures! I step in and the sales girl keep following me like I am going to steal her Cheong Sam and run out of the door. No pleasure in shopping and I left :(.

Anyway... if I have the draft pattern, I can make one Cheong Sam for myself without any difficulty but just that I don't have the time. So ... not fruitful on hunting a Cheong Sam guess have to hit Metro for help.

Fortune for Yr 2010

Every year they have this fortune for each category eg. career, wealth, health for the twelve cycles of animals. So I read my fortune for this year like every other year. This year, it says that for my animal, career wise, it advices not to change job coz no wise to do so. For health, need to take more supplements, more exercise (does that mean I need to continue with Amore exercises, need to decide that in Jul) and watch out for my health zone. I have benefactor star with me eg seniors for advice and the illness star is sticking with me this year. So it means I need Feng Shui cure. Although I look forward to death but I'd rather choose to die in sleep then suffer with further pain.

Clay Cove

Ok.. like I say.. this year is about training! I seem to be itching again for courses to take up. I got one through company but seem that isn't enough to satisfied my desire to upgrade myself in some way or another. I seem to have the idea of venturing in the creative stream this year.

So .. was suddenly interested in the arts like pottery and clay. So did some research and "Clay Cove" came out in my several research results. Not forgetting another one Seni Kraf, also responded to my e-mail to my enquiry about clay. Both responded to my e-mail unlike some other company who may be business too good to answer my e-mail enquires. This is what I like about businesses.. they need to respond to e-mails otherwise don't shouldn't have business e-mails.

Clay Cove have this two part course called the Create & Paint a Clay Gift meant for adults. I started the class today and found it to be interesting. Tough? Not really! They do not have the throwing technique like other pottery courses comes with it but that does not bother me coz I only am interested in the basic.

Still, they don't use water to smooth out the clay which I find it a bit hard coz it is harder to smooth out when the clay is starting to dry up and crack up. The other part about how I find this course is, it comes with limitations of projects you can do. None the less, I found one that makes it interesting for me to even enjoy it.

It would be great though if they allow the creativity to the customer but then this wouldn't be a beginner class, now would it? Another thing which bugs me, why if I come a second time to buy the material and use their furnace it still cost me the same price? I don't actually need to instructor's help if I already know the basic method. Shouldn't it be slight cheaper? Never the less, it was interesting to know a place like this exist and many children are picking the skill of pottery. Long live to Craft like this! I like the place too coz it's at a shopping mall; comfortable and convenient. Last, they have flexibility! They even accomodate to my required time slot. My review is Clay Clove ROCKS!

Amore Cupping Theraphy Menu

Today I tried the cupping theraphy from the ala carte menu. Was disappointed with the kind of price of $88.00 and there wasn't any fire to it :(. Totally not value of money. Never mind will never try this with them again.

Foot reflexlogy... quite ok. At least this is new that doing foot reflex lying down instead of sitting up. Relaxing!

Bonsai finally Germinating

I recently have a flare for bonsai. Don't ask me why but suddenly became interested or curious about growing it. I have been into plants lately. I bought some bonsai seeds from a vendor and started germinating in since Nov. I kept on checking it see if it have germinated. Without any clue or knowledge about bonsai, I was willing to give it a try and also read up some knowledge about it and taking care of it.

Well, my wait wasn't in vain. Today I check the packet in which I have placed into the zip log bag since November and see that it have growth coming out. I am so happy finally it germinated :)!

Another colleague diagnose with Cancer

Just today my colleague came back to work after some time of medical and was sad to learn from him after his follow up for his surgery on the throat, it is cancerous. The suprising part is it is Nose Cancer! I like har! Didn't you went surgery on your throat how come it ended up in your nose? It is really sad to hear news like this from a friend. What you can say at time like this is very sensitive to the person. NO JOKES PLEASE! I comfort him and tell him to be strong no matter what it is.

MayBank Credit Card Finally

YIPPY! I finally got the MayBank Credit Card! BIG HOORAY! I tried applying for the third time already and BAM finally got it. I was so happy to receive it in the mail today when I open my mail box. I wasn't expecting that it would approve anyway I still go ahead and try ... if this time I used my bonus payslip to send it to convince MayBank I do meet their requirement and they still reject me, I GIVE UP! Ha and it works! Finally I can enjoy the many benefits MayBank have to offer. Will see if this credit card is really that worth it for my persistence!

Training Opportunity

I found a good training workshop over the internet. The last time I saw this, I have already past the workshop date but this time it was way ahead of time. So I download the brochure and was hoping that since my boss not sending me to any external training then I go find one myself. I grew tired of watching others get to attend other training, getting certifications, attending workshop while I sit here and just watch. So I decided this year to do otherwise; HELP MYSELF & Grab the opportunity. I suspect that the results come back may not be good but then I still insist on testing it. One never know unless you try! At most is cannot then cannot lor.

==========
So the few days later, I happen to go into my boss room to get some chairs and she mentioned that out of the blue that she has not forgotten about my training plans. She is checking with HR... I say ok with gladness and appreciation that she did come through for me after all. However, I a bit concern if it will come through again coz the HR person... she always try to spoil it for me.
========
My boss replied, something similar to...from SIM.. though not as good as the one I picked but it is good enough ... I would be stupid to reject it and have it later bite back on my face. Thus, I accepted it!

Bad Criticism or just plain Jealousy?

I took two Chinese Ang Pow made Lantern to be hanged in the office to give the office the Chinese New Year mood. However, my kindness was not appreciated :( I guess I expected that too! Anyway, I don't really care. If he could do better then why aren't you doing anything better then me? You are just jealous that you didn't think of it. What a JERK for commenting that. No matter... would not allow this to get to me. At most, I just remove and put it downstairs here lor.

What made me angry is that the Cleaner Auntie sing the same song too :(... but can't blame her coz she is always like that.

Event

Today an event going on at the company again. Again I was praised by my boss that she is happy that everyone is happy with the event. So called that the event is fruitful and smooth; nothing went wrong. I was thinking in my mind OK... don't I always come through... anyhow, I just gave a reply ýeah and smile :).

Ok.. interesting part about how a particular boss say hiring **** is better then Singaporean and will end up slapping her own face. What happen was she was late for the lunch for the event and her team didn't even leave food for her. I can let it be and leave her with no lunch so that she will wake up and know what kind of people work with her but it is not be to do this. So I went to tell her assistant and told him if he can please leave some food for his boss and was surprise to learn that they leave food for someone else who did not participate in the event and not for his boss. That is so sad!

Finally, I managed to pass through this event with a struggle as I was about to fall sick, I try to pull myself through until this event have pass through.

New Dryer

After 7 years of washing clothes and hanging dry, I finally can have a dryer to dry all the clothes. You can say I quit having to hang the clothes up as it is so time consuming.

I was planning to have a dryer that runs on gas but somehow changed of plans when the service level of the dryer SUCKS big time! We landed on a electric dryer instead. Besides, it is currently on offer. We settled of Bosch. Bosch is a well known brand and can say .. to be trusted brand.. besides it not all that expensive... however have yet to see if it really is energy saving dryer like it tested to be.

None the less, I got my dryer today and tested it. Its GREAT!

Ambitions

When I was a child... my ambition was to be an Engineer, a Doctor , or even perhaps a Teacher \.

When I grow up further, my ambition to be a Teacher grows with it.

But when I passed out from High School, my dream to be a Teacher has gone kaput... still I hang on to this dream ... and I gone into the Accounting line just like my Dad

Later... I met my husband who was posted to overseas and I got my overseas degree... again my ambition changed to becoming a Network Engineer or even perhaps even a Programmer.

Again, when I return back to Singapore.. things changed so much that I never got to fulfil that dream either coz of sacrifices I planned to make in life changed this dream to be.

Now.... my line have turn to Admin. Using the degree I have, although wasn't the same degree in this line.. I am going somewhere at least. Not a dream job but at least a good job in which I am satisfied with. Thus, I am settling with this dream... reason being ..

Its just a dream and when dreams don't come through...
perhaps its trying to tell you that its time to let that dream go!

No more want to be Teacher coz MOE don't want me
No more want to be Network Engineer nor Programmer coz no one hires without experiences
