I have now created a new post due to a new assignment given to me. Read all about the post Life in Arizona

Prev Co ask for Help

2011-08-18T21:36:00.000+08:00

So my x-boss approached me for help and I send him some. However, no reply saying at least "Thank you!" at least I know that he received it and I was of some help? Guess, there goes an ego thing again. I have seen it in many and I also seen it in him too. For this reason, I knew that I would not be able to work hand in hand with him like I did with the boss that has left. Sad indeed but have to learn to let this go to.

Back on track!

2011-08-13T10:38:00.002+08:00

I have left my company and in search of my new given assignment by God! I am indeed sad to leave but some things overweigh it. Still, the frastration of things at company always gets to me. The frastration of this particular person taking me for granted that "I will always do for him" and the other would be a great pretender.

One thing I am really glad about is that, my boss rewarded me something I was thinking if I would ever get. The farewell for me was indeed a good one. Let's say that I am extremely happy once in my life coz it shows that I am being appreciated. Another goal in my life I have complished.

The girl who took over my job wasn't really interested. Always not around. Took me for granted that I would help her out. Made so many calls without even trying to use her head. Not sure if she even got one or she just one that wait to be served. I am suprise that she was once a PA. Must be sit on the boss leg type one if not how she managed, I really do not know. Nonetheless, as I predicted, she got fired eventually! Guess she never know that never play this company for a fool coz they are not local company that would tolerate such outrageous behavior.

GOD indeed has his plans for me!

2011-04-22T08:07:00.002+08:00

If you have been following my blog, you will noticed that we were to go US in year 09 but somehow due to some selfish jerk who contest at the last moment, we never did. I was in so much anger ... but I continued to move on and be happy.

Now it is all clear! God indeed has his plans for me! I came to work in this far away place in Jurong Island thinking it was temporary only and landed up working there 3 years. Who would of thought of it. However, in one month time, I am leaving this place. Why? Plans from God have come true or through for me. AMEN! Why I say that is that perhaps it was my boss who ask God for help and God heard her call and send me there to help her. God didn't want me to go as it is not time yet and she needed the help in which I can render to her so much. 3 years pass and she is now being promoted and soon moving on to US and soon news for my husband to go US too came too with someone powerful enough to help him out. Co-incident? I think not! Guess, we are indeed BLESSED! AMEN! So God you haven't forgotten about me and my prayers! Ah-Li-Lu Yah!

Son's Birthday @ School

2011-03-29T10:31:00.002+08:00

Today went to son's school to celebrate his birthday with his friends. He was very happy! Its Tuesday and there was suppose to be an assembly. As I was there, he tried to escape it. I tried all to trick him into going but failed. Sigh.. this boy is really hard to teach. The cake was huge and couldn't finish. Again I leave the cake there for later the teacher can eat. I had a hard time carrying it over to school coz it was heavy and I had to carry the goodie bags and take the bus. Lucky bus not crowded. The day before I collect the cake at Northpoint Yishun after work, people at the bus was very in-cosiderate coz no one give me the seat even they say me holding the big cake. The world have lack of good people these days. Anyway, lucky one woman stand up and give me a seat .. inside one... though I prefer outside one coz my cake is big how to seat on my lap? It was uncomfortable... at least she offer.. so I take...

Someone from past 3 years

2011-03-10T20:51:00.002+08:00

Ok.. bump into someone again from my past!

Alex Saw.. I remembered! Can't remember the other Alex's last name though but I remember he also Alex... I remember my boss name Teo Kok Sin hahhahha... he saw me but didn't recognized me.

Wow.. I not borrowing money from you leh. No need to run so fast. If I bump into you, I can just ignore you but I tap you to remind you. Guess .. you too busy. Then you still say the same thing as last time. My guess was right... I only have to say I am doing well, they will be on the rush.. Never change coz it happens to everybody... Sigh ... & that is why I never stop the person I catch eye while walking on streets coz this is what I know would happen. Can't really blame them. I would do that too!

Failure as mom ?

2011-03-09T23:29:00.002+08:00

Just came back from the hospital! Sigh .... so my son let history repeat itself. No Thanks to my girl! She dropped some cotton buds on the floor and my son picked up and stick to his ear.

Brought him to the old house 24 hours clinic as the My Family clinic was already filled with people. Haven't had my dinner yet and have to deal with this going on in my life again. Doctor struggle for past 20 mins and son was hysterical when he see the pair of scissors going into his ear to pull whatever is stuck inside. Doctor lost his patience and was scolding him. Hahhhahha... at least someone knows the aggitation I am going through. Arghhhhh... son refuse to co-operate. So, no choice, bring him to KKH (Hospital down here that deals best with kids). Catch a cab there after leaving my older one with nanny. Where the HELL are the cabs when you need them? Waited and waited.. God .. finally came one. Lucky he didn't say not going.

When to hospital wait again... ok.. noticed people are blocking the damn number! Can you quit it! I am watching for my number. Arghhh... Finally took out a bit. Still have to see the doctor the next day again to see if he can remove the remainder. Then also son not co-operative... Argggghhh... ok... Monday have to go back hospital again and in total $60.00 bucks spent... plus this monday cost $ 420.00 from Medisave. All these have not include the cab fair. Sickening! Why my life is always like that! GOD .. haven't I suffered enough.. you must test me time and time again? I head can't take the stress already! Have MERCY!

2 weeks new home

2011-03-03T20:44:00.001+08:00

2 weeks into new home and neighbors seem very unfriendly. Never seem to see them with a smile on their face. As we owe them money! Never mind at least no more the stupid irritating neighbor.

Travel Test!

2011-02-21T20:21:00.001+08:00

My girl wake up early this morning and she came to the room to wake up. I look at the clock and it shows 6am. Her usual wake up time is 6:30am and sometimes I could hardly make her get up from bed without screaming at her coz I need to rush to get to work with dropping them off and catching the bus. It seems all so hectic with life!

Tried to wake my son up too but he didn't wake up. So, I bring my girl to the bus stop to catch a bus to school. It took us 10mins to walk from our new house to the bus stop. The bus came fast and we arrived in short time. No one on board the bus when we boarded it. All came out just fine. Reached home, son have woken from his beauty sleep. Ok feed him breakfast and send him on his way to child care. I came back exhausted and start unpacking things until the Singtel guy came and also the open net to do the fibre cable. Open Net... your guy is bloody RUDE! Didn't you train them any manners not to touch people's things? Should I even call the police to have them checked? Singtel guy was polite and extremely young chap. So much potential (I meant in a good way)! & perhaps the previous owner didn't mention that they are all using Starhub? The poor Singtel guy have to spend so much troubleshoot my internet and telephone line. They managed to get both up! Thanks!

Grandma Pass Away

2011-02-21T19:57:00.000+08:00

Good-bye Grandma!

God have finally given the peace you have asked for!

Rest in Peace

Finally MOVED!

2011-02-20T20:12:00.002+08:00

The move take place at about 9:30am in the morning. The movers came in and start wrapping and moving our boxes out. Three full truck loads! They break for lunch. We finished all the moving at about 3pm. House is filled with boxes. Some store room, some living, some upstairs. It was a chaos. We have to watch what needs to go where. VERY STRESSFUL & TIRING! What else you want me to say? Give me a break! I have to balance work, and children, it is all wearing me out.

Finally this is out of my way! However, there goes the convenient and have to work out the travelling part from nanny's place and to school. Everytime I think of this, I feel hatred coming into my heart ... I move becoz of bad neighbors! Curse them! This needs time to heal and until then I am enjoying my house.

1 week to moving!

2011-02-14T04:56:00.003+08:00

Finally the new house is all done up!

So much work have to be done especially the Kitchen until I am tried! Let my husband go do the kitchen coz I phobia already! The first time we just took over not long, I started cleaning the kitchen and landed with so much leg pain, I could hardly walk at all. I inner thighs was in pain and strain.

I enjoy sitting at the staircase at my home coz it brings back the memory when I was in my school days. I love sitting at staircase watching people come and go and also watching out the scenery outside.

Chinese New Year ... Bad Year!

Ok.. once a year I always look forward to happy ending for Chinese New Year but doesn't seem so this year. Ok why?

Chinese New Year

2011-02-04T17:15:00.002+08:00

Chinese New Year! I should be happy but aren't! Kids drive me crazy and my head goes spinning and even this very day it does not get better. Sigh ....

2 weeks left to moving

2011-02-04T17:08:00.002+08:00

Time Flies!

2 more weeks in fact and we are moving to our new house. I am not sure if I will be able to cope with the bringing the children up and down after moving but sure will hang in there until news have been offical that husband in going to overseas. After 2 years of wait, perhaps this is GOD's plan for us. No matter, he did came through for us this time just 2 years later. Still, there are other things that will go on but just take one step at a time and pray that he will continue to guide me as he always does and will never fail to help me out when I do need to be strong and need strength.

One thing is for sure is that I will definitely miss this ten year old house. Where I have grown to enjoy the peace ... the wind... the convienence. Although I am moving into a bigger house. All seem so strange to me for now. I hate the kitchen in the new house (it seem nice when I first see it but all these was hidden with the dirt) and also hate the bathroom in my new home at the master bedroom coz its the kind of ugly green. Hope to change that in future.

Fortune 2011

2011-01-15T17:42:00.003+08:00

So... this years fortune will it be good for me? I think I am not the only one who ask this question every year! Hahhaa

Well, after reading so many versions of interpretation online about Fortune 2011, things aren't as bad as it seems. Even so.. what can I really do? AVOID! AVOID! & AVOID! Hhahha easy said than done. However, after reading this, I really laugh .. like so true... it says that I don't feel like working hard this year. Ya.. I don't coz I am tired of working with people around me now! I am just buying my time there and waiting for my appraisal $$$ ... I am counting down to days of freedom.

Too much water Kills?

2011-01-15T17:20:00.003+08:00

Just that day I was taking the train back home and overheard this two students talking to each other about drinking too much water. They were saying that drinking too much water would cause the brain to blow up or something like that.... I couldn't recall but it sounded like a bit too exaggerated. Hhahhahah ... can that be true? Here goes my hunt for the truth.

Read this article.

Believe & you shall have...

2011-01-03T20:03:00.002+08:00

& I say " Believe & you shall have.. Try and try" What happen? He called to share the good news with me. I am indeed happy for him. At least he stand a chance. After fighting for it, he won the battle for an interview. This is what I call NEVER GIVE UP! Interview is a first step to an open door, an opportunity.. with that, anything and everything is possible.

Someone asked me this

2010-12-27T20:33:00.002+08:00

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!

LUCKY ME!

2010-12-23T20:24:00.003+08:00

Today was the X'mas event at the company. I was busy and I meant BUSY! After buying tons of stuff for this event with my colleague, I was looking forward to it. Came back with food and then they have already started the party. HOW RUDE! But I was angry at first but then ai yah never mind lah.. I soon got over it. Ai yah... last year already make it fun lor.. laugh it off and move on. I was filled with confusion again with the lucky dip.. hahhaha .. stupid me! Ok.. I was looking forward to getting the prize 2 which is a radio... while numbers after numbers were called.. I started to tremble ...errrreeerrr. will I drop the bowl... then I was the last one to call. & the 1st prize was mine! HHHAHHAA.. Thank You GOD for coming through for me... and who say prayers does not help? I PRAYED ! I think HARD and positive about it... and though.. never got what I want.. but something even better... & everyone was so jealous... hhehhheeehhe.. laughing my heart out

Finally SOLD...

2010-12-19T21:18:00.002+08:00

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

2010-12-16T20:58:00.003+08:00

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

2010-12-14T20:41:00.002+08:00

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

2010-12-06T20:08:00.002+08:00

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

2010-11-29T20:37:00.002+08:00

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.

So would it be better next year?

2010-11-26T10:02:00.002+08:00

I was thinking of moving on next year as with the moving house and the changes going on at work. Many of my resumes have been send out. No news yet! However, there is a change of plan. Will this time be sucessful now after the two years? What was suppose to be us end up some creep went and he still so arrogrant can say that he will be extended coz no one will put up! May GOD have mercy on your soul! Arrogrant PIG! U shall pay one day! Just it have not come for you yet!

Guess I will sticking around here for awhile until I see my new boss come in and old boss leaves. Hopefully Apr have good news!

Still trying to sell my house

2010-11-22T14:32:00.002+08:00

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?

2010-11-03T19:02:00.002+08:00

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!

2010-11-02T19:00:00.002+08:00

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!

2010-10-31T20:34:00.004+08:00

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!

2010-10-31T20:27:00.002+08:00

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?

2010-10-22T19:43:00.002+08:00

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

2010-10-03T17:12:00.002+08:00

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

2010-10-01T17:18:00.002+08:00

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!

2010-09-10T09:02:00.002+08:00

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...

2010-08-31T13:28:00.002+08:00

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.

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.

Confession

2010-08-24T21:49:00.002+08:00

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.

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

2010-08-01T15:50:00.002+08:00

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

2010-07-21T21:51:00.001+08:00

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?

2010-07-01T18:48:00.002+08:00

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

2010-06-24T20:58:00.001+08:00

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

2010-06-17T16:31:00.003+08:00

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

Side track ...
Ok on MC today! Then something came up. Someone have by pass me and get my driver to do things for her. When I hear that I was angry! Why? This person is not one of our stuff and yet try to pull stunt like this. Sigh... have to find ways to put it gently across this person to tell her to figure out her things herself ... Sorry no more favor! Anyway, don't care if she even complain. I am sick and tired of people like this... They just need to be TOLD to BACKOFF!

Training ... Business Analyze Report using Excel Course

2010-06-16T16:37:00.002+08:00

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.

2010-06-04T21:20:00.003+08:00

Feel good to Fire Back

2010-05-25T20:12:00.002+08:00

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?

2010-05-21T11:50:00.002+08:00

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

2010-05-14T06:39:00.002+08:00

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

2010-05-07T20:37:00.002+08:00

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

2010-05-06T20:54:00.002+08:00

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

2010-04-25T20:47:00.002+08:00

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?

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

2010-03-30T21:04:00.002+08:00

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?

2010-03-30T20:54:00.002+08:00

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

2010-03-10T17:26:00.002+08:00

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

2010-03-05T23:01:00.003+08:00

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

2010-03-04T20:01:00.002+08:00

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

2010-02-27T02:59:00.002+08:00

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

2010-02-27T02:46:00.002+08:00

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

2010-02-14T08:08:00.003+08:00

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

2010-02-14T07:57:00.002+08:00

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.

收工晚餐

2010-02-09T21:36:00.003+08:00

Ok.. Today's 收工晚餐. Almost everybody join. It is on DUTCH! It was a fun night coz my boss ending up picking up the tab instead. We are all very happy. 谢谢老板!

The Hunt for Cheong Sam for D&D Event

2010-02-05T18:17:00.002+08:00

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

2010-01-31T21:14:00.003+08:00

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

2010-01-29T21:20:00.003+08:00

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

2010-01-29T21:10:00.002+08:00

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

2010-01-28T20:05:00.003+08:00

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

2010-01-27T20:10:00.002+08:00

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

2010-01-20T21:28:00.003+08:00

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

2010-01-16T09:50:00.002+08:00

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?

2010-01-13T09:21:00.002+08:00

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

2010-01-12T21:30:00.001+08:00

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

2010-01-03T21:52:00.003+08:00

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

2010-01-01T07:28:00.002+08:00

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

So disappointed with ColdStorage Presentation

2009-12-25T21:03:00.001+08:00

Pre-Ordered Honey Baked Ham from ColdStorage this X'mas but was disappointed with the presentation. I wasn't told that the Honey Baked Ham of 1 kg does not come with a box. When I collected it at the ColdStorage what they did was they took the Honey Baked Ham just like the counter purchased ham, pre-packed and put it into a plastic bag and handed it to me. I would ask for a box but they didn't even offer if I would like a box to be placed in it. Was so disappointed with the way they presented the Honey Baked Ham I ordered without a box at all.

My comment here is if it doesn't come with a box, wouldn't it be nice that I be informed about it? Is this the service ColdStorage presents to their customers? I have always trusted ColdStorage for its service but was disappointed to learn this is what they can do. If the Honey Baked Ham of 1 kg does not come with a box then how am I going to give it away as a gift? Lucky I am giving the Honey Baked Ham as a gift to someone who doesn't really mind without box. Another thing, if it doesn't come with a box at all, what for pre-order from them? I might as well get it from a counter as cut ones or even the whole piece. After eating it, I didn't find any difference from the picnic ham either. Can't even taste the honey! Guess.... next year can don't order from ColdStorage already coz makes no difference... save my money for a better X'mas Log Cake and it will not come from ColdStorage.

Christmas Eve

2009-12-24T20:48:00.000+08:00

Ok... Christmas Eve at work was half a day. Although no official declare but guess that my boss didn't have a choice either coz the bus company tag to with other company leave at specific time and no special arrangement after that.

Boss left early to go somewhere for a meeting. I gave her a small gift after struggling what is a practical gift to give her. As you can see... I am just complex... just hard to explain it. Anyway, I just didn't want to settle for a Ferro Rocher chocolate for a gift. Besides, someone else have given her that so ... can't repeat that, though it is a gift that counts. Not sure did she open it to see but when I pass by her office she seem to be very happy .. surprise to see my Christmas gift for her at her desk. She even gave me a hug.... I find that wierd though coz I never get hugs from bosses before but never the less... it feels very comforting just like a family feeling ... like my cousins and Aunties from my father's side; we too always give hugs to show we love each other.

So what did I buy? Working in a Petrochemical area, fire is a threat...if you can call that... so I bought her a Aroma Therapy that looks like have flame but it runs on battery and can even use the USB to give it light. No need to add water but have a so called absorbent so that you can add the kind of oil you want. Not really expensive but meaningful though. I even bought one for myself. Oh yeah... as I was saying Petrochemical... can't light up the fire there so this Aroma Therapy would be good... looks like fire but not "fire" and you can even have the kind of oil you want.. helps to ease your stress. Cool right? Besides, you can even blow it out!

This was bought the night before Christmas Eve. I don't usually go shop during Christmas Eve. The reason being... the whole of Singapore people all shop during this time. so CROWDED ... just hate crowds coz just slow slow slow... None the less.. I got through the crowded and messy shopping mall.

Am I a Sucker for being good

2009-11-30T22:24:00.002+08:00

Sigh... good people never have good ending! So am I a sucker for being good? Well, it does seem so to me! The things I do for people end up being stupid myself! People think otherwise and jump into conclusion that I am "the bad" guy. Sigh... at times like this, I wish to give up trying so hard to fight the battle. Fighting a loosing battle seems so discouraging. What can I say?

Trip to Bangkok

2009-11-27T22:22:00.003+08:00

After 2 years or may be more of not travelling, I thought this time would plan ahead and make this trip a fruitful on.

Bangkok have always been known for the cheap shopping and eating. Sigh... but this time round I think otherwise. I bring a my son to Bangkok for the first time. It was his first trip away from home and thought it would be fun for him. Yeah it sure fun for him but HELL for me coz he keep on disobedient; running around and not wanting to hold hands. Sigh... frastration .... and my older girl didn't help to ease the pain. Instead create more frastration then ever. Arghhhhh...

Ok I thought of buying and buying ... but end up shopping and shopping and never bought much. Why? Things there isn't all that cheap! May be a dollar or two cheaper then where I am staying but not like really dirt cheap where I can buy many back. Sigh... disappointed ... Still, thought I can enjoy tons of good food but miss the Thai seafood in which I didn't get to. The one which we used to go to, have gone ka putt (run out of business). However, we did enjoy the Japanese food and other food at MBK especially the fish maw soup. Yum ... yum...

Next time go there again? I'd think twice.

What is popular this time is handbags! Kids clothes.... don't ever think you can find it in Pratunam nor much at all in Pa Pong. MBK, more baby clothes then todler clothes and still not as cheap but compare with Pa Pong, MBK may be a place to consider buying from in the end. Went to R&D Fashion at the City Complex at Pratunam thinking of buying a nice dress for myself but there ain't any I like and disappointed, they hardly have any dresses in their shop there too :(.

Charity comes with a fixed price

2009-11-14T06:14:00.002+08:00

Recently I bump into a sales person, not sure if you'd call her a sales person for charity, but she was stopping people on the roads to introduce heart disease and stroke is the number 1 killer statistics.

Anyway, as the story goes, I told her to cut to the chase and tell me what she needs as I have no patience nor time to hear their story and she did. She is asking for me to donate some money. Then, I say ok.. but I can only donate $10.00 coz that is my budget and finally everything came out. The Truth! How irony is that! She say.. most people would donate on a yearly basis and at a FIXED PRICE! I like HAR! Then I say Sorry I can't do that... economy bad .. jobs not fixed... if no money how to pay charity.. I can't stop charity payment right? Then she say yes you can't stop the payment and I say No. What make me write this blog is.. what is happening to this world? You need the money and I gave what I can afford to you but you have a fixed price I have to follow? This is absurd. I may understand that you are trying to raise a certain amount but making it fixed price is juse too absurd for a charity organization. Plus, at a economy bad time, people are stringent about their money. Really funny how charity have come with a fixed price.
