Happy Mood....

Mich~

I think the air and weather recently are not too good, no wonder a few of my colleagues fell sick...However, because MD is not around, all of us are generally "less stressed" in the office. Even lunchtime, we can afford to eat a little longer and be a bit late in going back to work....kekeke...time for a little indulgence....

Moreover, remember the bonus we just received? Hmmn...with that, the general mood in office is still happy...and u can start seeing people mentioning about sales, buying stuff..blah...

Today, I finally got the chance to tell my boss about my heavy workload, and what is gonna happen during the transition period. I am referring to the period before 1 Jul, 'cos a few of us would be rotating our jobs, and the effective date is 1 Jul. But I suppose the change cant take place overnight, it would hv to be phased in slowly....Of course, I am also one of the affected persons, thus I thought of voicing out my concerns...and whether the handover would commence gradually..........hmmn, in the end? Boss said he would discuss with the other bosses and get back to me.....so? Let's wait and see lor.......

Da Vinci Code

Mich~

Went to catch Da Vinci Code last Saturday with my ONE..and was pretty tired and shacked after the midnight show. Actually, before I watched the show, I had very little understanding of the Dan Brown book (yes, must admit), so I was pretty apprehensive about what to expect.

I guess the main plot of the show was trying to solve the riddle which dates back to centuries ago, about a conspiracy surrounding the Priory of Sion, a secret society dating back to the days of Sir Isaac Newton...Tom Hanks and his partner...(hmmn, "Neveau" something) had to race against time to solve the puzzle before the answer is lost forever.

I guess as a non-Christian, I could not fully appreciate the meaning / messages the show was conveying. But I guess the nice architecture of Paris and London (churches, museum..) somehow made up for it. There were also hilarious moments, such as the female lead driving backwards to get away from the police...(mind u, it was in the busy streets of Paris!!)..and the character named "Silas", who was eccentric, and kept appearing out of the blue to try and kill people...and Tom Hanks' friend/foe "Leigh", who mentioned that he owned a plane!! Phew! Somehow, I felt that Tom Hanks had aged quite a bit in this show, or is it because it has been so long since I watch a movie acted by him?? I do not know if the full context of the book was being captured correctly, as I am a novice to this.....but the watch did help me to gain some insights into history....??

p.s. Decided to add a picture to my blog...getting more and more dull..

Weekend.....

Tom~
Well, today, nothing much has been done for me, I have been bumming around at my new home, watching tv and cleaning up the household items. I have make-up lesson from 5pm till 8pm.....so boring....:(
Tonight, I would be watching The Da Vinci Code midnight show with My Love. I heard from friends that it is a nice show but some christians might have something to say about it. The story seemed to reflect certain untruth stories about Jesus and Christianity. Hopefully, we can enjoy the show and update everyone about our review.
Tomorrow morning, I am going to Marina South to play soccer with some old men....hahaha all 30s' to 40s' years of age (Colleagues) vs Distributors (Reseller).

GSS + Bonus!!

These 2 days, the mood in the office is generally joyous..'cos u know why? Everyone is expecting their bonus to be credited to their bank accounts by end of this week...yes!! It is indeed something to look forward to, after one year of hard work. Guess it is a motivation for everyone, in one way or another. Of course, none of us openly share how much we would receive, and discussions are restricted to very general statements...

I only shared openly with Ah Gou lor, since she is my confidante all these while (in office). But of course, we promised not to reveal to anyone.....For me, guess the $$ would come in handy, for new stuff for my new home, and some goodies to reward myself during the GSS...Of course lah, since Great Singapore Sale is here!! No lah, I have no idea what I would be getting for myself and my Love yet, just initial thoughts. So will I go "chiong shopping" this weekend? I do not know yet, keeping my fingers crossed.....

Check out the GSS below!

Arrghh....

I get very bogged down by work recently. To add on to my sorrows, my 2 direct bosses (don't ask me why, I just hope it is an interim period), kept giving work to me. I can sense what are their kind intentions for doing so...(it is still a secret, will let u know in due course)....Hmmn, are there no other staff around, who can do the work too? Now, I feel drowned by the work, but there is no avenue to let it out...sigh..just glad that TGIF!

Then, I had to keep helping long legs with her job leh..she simply refuse to take ownership of her job, and always "act blur"..(a lot of people can attest to that). She simply shuts down her pc on the dot, and leave the "sh**" for people to clear. Today, I just walked off from her cubicle (was trying to help her solve problems), because I think if you do not make the effort to learn and complete your work, then why are others doing it for you? "Chocolate" also cannot "tahan" her, and kept hinting that she was doing work for long legs....arrghh....!

Looking forward to weekend!! Yes, having a mini gathering with my good friends this weekend, and I am very happy to chill out with them...yeah!! One of them is a soon-to-be mum, so guess we will just gossip about her bb, health, and pregnancy updates...... :)

Vesak Day...and Long Weekend!

Mich~

On Fri night, the eve of Vesak Day, I went to the Kong Meng San to pray for good health and peace in the coming year. It was really crowded with all the devotees, and many of them were performing the yearly ritual of (san1 bu4 yi1 bai4). I do not know what it is called, but basically, the devotees would walk 3 steps and kneel down to pray. I really admire the people for their tireless efforts, because it is a physically challenging task. I guess with the faith and determination, one can definitely do it! For us? No, we did not take up this challenge. We prayed, and stayed there for a while to walk around and ate their vegetarian food, and went off at about 1 am.

And the long weekend was spent on shopping and more shopping...heehee. At the end of today, my wallet has depreciated by 80 bucks, just on a pair of shoes and a bag. Haha.. Just a trip to Marina Sq cost me this much. But beware, because the parking fees there has increased. On Saturdays, it is no longer $2 per entry as it used to be. I just found from their website that it was $2 for first 2 hours, and $1 for the subsequent half hour. Wow!! Things ar getting more expensive now.....In the end, we paid $4 for parking there, close to 3 hours ++. My ONE and I also bought a slow cooker at C K Tangs, because we needed some new stuff for our new house, and our $50 voucher would expire soon. Hmmn, lucky us, there was a sale at C K Tangs, and all electrical items were less 10%. Not bad, we got a small bargain....(better than nothing)!

What a happy and relaxing long weekend!! Sad to say, it would be ending soon...and the next holiday?? In Aug, I suppose...that is a long wait..... :(

This is my new shoes and bag...keke :) Actually, the bag was quite pricey...$37 leh...(heartache).

Yes!! Finally Recovered!

Mich~

Glad that I recovered, but guess this serious bout of sickness had taken a toll on my health. Mum says that I should eat less oats now, as oats have a damaging effect on my stomach...? Hmmn, guess there seemed some truth in what she said, so I will have to reduce the frequency of my oats intake from daily to probably twice or thrice a week. Phew! What a price to pay for trying to lose some weight for the big day!!

In the end, i recovered after a third trip to the doctor..and this time, to a chinese one. His medicine really works, and I must say he has been a trusted and reliable chinese doctor of my family. Apparently, he is quite well-known with my colleagues too.

A big thank you to my ONE, who has been tirelessly sending me to see the doctors, and staying by my side all this while. I really admire him for his patience at times, and wonder how he does it...("ren...ren...ren...")

Today, I just attended a training for the issuance of some "wallet" for your corporate personal account. This wallet acts like a thumb drive and key to all your emails and system applications. This means that once you log on to your PC every morning, the key will remember your applications' passwords...phew!! Thus, you need not remember so many passwords, instead, you need to physically secure this key!! Arrghh..meaning everytime you go to the toilet or meetings, you need to carry it with you....? Right? This is the result of advancement of technology, causing more and more "burdens" in our daily lives.....

Sick again....

Mich~

I have not been feeling well since Sat, and today is already the third day I am sick...sigh..really do not know why, maybe it was the food I ate on Sat. However, nobody in my family seems to "gana" it as seriously as me. I am having the runs since Sat, feeling feverish, and a total loss of appetite. Can you imagine? I was practically rushing to the toilet almost every 10 mins....a real serious case of diarrhoea and dehydration. Till now, even after 2 visits to 2 different doctors, the diarrhoea would still plague me, but at a longer interval. Sigh, the doctor said the medication would only reduce the number of times I visit the doctor, but would not stop it immediately. So when?? He told me it would stop when all the "toxins" have been purged out from my system.....

I have not been consuming food since yesterday, and once I see food in front of me, I would get cold shivers, total loss of appetite. But my body seems to have a fair bit of toxins to clear..how can it be? No input, but there is output????? Puzzling...puzzling.

In the end, the doctor had to give me some salt and sugar supplements, otherwise, according to him, my body would lose all the nutrients....dehydration?

Worst of all, yesterday was my future BIL's wedding, and for the whole day, I was practically "operating" like a zombie....I was at my MIL's place since 9 am, but instead of helping her, I had to rush to the toilet every 10 mins. I was truly "paiseh" about it, but i cannot quite control my bowels...At the wedding dinner, I was so unwell that I felt like going home. But I was tasked with the table reception job, so I told myself to hang in there and persevere. In the end, I gritted my teeth and stayed on. I did not eat much food, even though the sumptuous dishes were served before me, the fish, prawns...shark's fins...etc. By the time I reached home at 12 am, I just jump onto bed (yes, practically), covered the blanket and slept till through the night.....what an eventful and terrible day I had!!!
