Filled with Anger

Sigh... another day filled with anger.

First, read e-mail and there sat an e-mail saying "....I will do this and revert". I thought I said it very clear that there isn't one? Some people having amnesia and still younger then I am. Didn't you hear me clearly when I said it or is it your instructions not clear again? Argh.. please give clear instructions hor if not I don't understand! Pissed off! So called the manager and clarify. Hate it when people do that!

Ok... then came another e-mail later in the day that says " Welcome so and so for joining the company" Argh... this is so BIAS! You thought working for a foreign company would have better treatment but NO WAY! They don't send out e-mails to say welcome so and so "CONTRACTOR" to the company. That is why I HATE BEING CONTRACTOR!!!! Actually there isn't anything wrong with the company it is always the people BEHIND the company that have the BIG PROBLEM!

& don't tell me permanent and contractor is the same! They don't have same treatment. This is an example. Not bonus ... not benefits ... and most of all definitely not better treatment either. I am no IDIOT to accept they are both the same. But anyhow, I can care less about this liao... Thank you so much for demoralizing me. Now I know where my decision should go!

Still, the managers here are so "inconsiderate". They see you down the road waiting for bus and they don't even offer you a ride! They can even pass by and wave good bye to you at the bus stop.

At least those managers I used to know they see me waiting on the road for my ride would even ask me want a ride. I miss the managers at Chartered esp AS & AH! Although they talk dirty at times ... at least they are HUMAN! The people here I work for are not even human! They are so insensitive ! You can't see the steam coming out of my head but it is steaming HOT

Step Back in Time - Baby Me


This is the "Baby Me". I am stepping in time lately. So much fond memories! That is my mom behind me. She has abandoned this photo. Sob ... sob...

Cousin's Wedding @ Raffles Hotel

Another wedding dinner @ Raffles Hotel! This wedding is my cousin's wedding. Went to help at the reception today as requested by my Aunt. I sat a corner. Fend Shui don't seem very good. Many people never come to me to ask for their table seating. I wonder why but glad too as the music was too loud (musician playing music). Can hardly hear them say their name. I guard the ang pows though. Don't seem to enjoy that joke about "guarding the ang pows even if I go toilet" . Har Har har yeah right!

A dream Wedding Dinner to be in. Always wanted something like that when I was young when at the age of one day going to get married. However, that dream never came true. So hate attending weddings like that coz it always make me jealous why I don't have!

As I understand one table cost about $1,200.oo. Wow that is a bomb to spent on solely one table. Is it all worth it? Thinking ... I ain't that rich to spent my money on this. Guess it wasn't meant to be! Who tell me not to get born in a rich and wealthy and status family. Sigh... story of my life in which I can tell so much already lor. Souvenior is pewter... wow. damn no wonder it cost that much! But VERY NICE HOR though not very practical lah!

Courses

Again am itching to upgrade myself by attending courses. Ok ... after several hunts I thought I would like to settle with this

By British Council

Know it – Teach it: Grammar 20 credits
Explores the major areas of English grammar and typical student error. Helps you build your confidence in presenting language clearly and set up practice activities. Lets you try out a range of interesting student-centred activities.

Thought this would be interesting to attend. Brush up on my grammar also benefit my child too i future. But guess what? Price of course = S$895.00 ... DAMN that is costly man! can I get subsidy for that? I doubt so! Ok... not good sign... what is worst ... 5 weeks to complete... and in night time classes... no full time classes... That is not good! Still, again classes are only held in Napier ... and so does most classes... Sad.. So Sad.... so may not be my choice then. Unless there is subsidy to that and have day classes. Think so highly of British Council and they disappointed me by saying " Sorry no full time classes; with a period "

Look again at the Bristish Council website, there is one class I can also attend, I thought.

Exam Skills – Oral

Analyses the skills and language that students need for oral exams. Looks at some innovative ideas for preparing learners for the three components of primary oral exams.

And it cost $88.00 only. Call and ask them... "Only open to teachers" Sad again... so sad... and when I finally found some cheap course to learn and benefit from it, again being shot down. Is there no classes in which I want can allow me to attend? Is there no longer any flexibilty? I want to perfect my grammar to benefit not only myself but also my children. I can teach them although teachers might not do be able to. But there is no way ! There goes my dream! Thank you so much !

Ok I give up... be STUPID !

Courtesy Cat

If you are a Singaporean, you'd remember this. However, if you don't let me remind you then!


We used to have this Courtesy Cat that goes out not only in school days but if I do remember it correctly, it used to be very popular and every where you can see it. We also have this Courtesy Week. They used to promote so much about it and the Courtesy Cat as the escort. We also have a song for that and it goes


Courtesy is for free .... Courtesy is for you and me.... and I forgot the rest. Can't even locate it over the internet as there isn't any courtesy left in all of us!


So what happen to the cat? I most likely think that it have been amputated! Hahahha... and that is the reason why lots of people have forgotten about it and also lack the "Courtesy"!


And how does the Courtesy Cat look like is below:
