Le Cabaret Night

Standard Chartered Le Cabaret Night on 12-Dec-2008 at Suntec Convention Centre

My lunch kaki - Liping & Joey (we did try to rent cabaret costumes at first. however, we were too late. most nice costumes had been rented out. so, we were left with limited choices and those costumes were really CMI. therefore, we decided to just dress up with some accessories. hmm...we might not be exaggerating enough...i think we were not bad though.)

Ladies (wow....so colourful!!)

The lucky man - Shawn and his act-cool pose :p

Another lucky chap - Jerrod

Our vainpot 'sister' - Mark!! He was the best dressed guy in our team.

ETS Team A

Our table number (too bad it was only 3 digit...if not, we can buy 4D! wahaha...)

Cold dish!! One of my favourite dish for the dinner...another one was the crispy roasted chicken...also the fried rice...and the dessert too! Overall, all dishes were great. So yummy!! It was one of the best dinner among all the D&D that I had attended. Where are the photos of other dishes?? Hehe...my camera and I was too busy with photo-taking session then. :p

Taken with big boss - Stephen (Guess which one is the boss? Hints: bosses usually do not need to squat and are always standing in the centre. Got it?)

Yum Seng!!!

OMG! What are they doing?!

Shawn suggested this pose and surprisingly I agreed to it! Crazy....

With Thomas - I love this shot as I looked slimmer in this photo

Just myself here...see how purplish I was...even the heels, hair clip & earrings! haha... :D

I have 2 more parties to attend this Thursday and Friday...more partying photos to be uploaded. Stay tuned...

Team trip - Bangkok

Our team went to Bangkok for a 4D3N retreat in end Oct. We flew with Jetstar Asia and checked in Ramada D'MA Bangkok hotel. Each person cost about S$448, which S$300 was subsidized by Standchart and we topped up S$148.

Ramada D'MA Bangkok hotel should be a 3.5 star hotel. We paid for 2 nights and got our 3rd night for free, inclusive of buffet breakfast. I think it was a good bargain. The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is great too as it takes only 5-10 mins taxi ride to the shopping belt.


We went to Jatuchak for whole day shopping on our 2nd day. My boss was crazy about the place. He spent most of his time at the antique/woodcraft corners. Other colleagues shopped more for the clothing and accessories. I didn't spend much there as my previous experience telling me that the cheap clothing would not be of durable quality.


The itinerary for 3rd day was shopping as well. For gals, it was the BRA day! All of us, except Joey who couldn't find her extremely large size (38D), we all bought about 8 pairs of bra. Sometimes, it is lucky to be small. Hahaha...

Half-time @ Central World

3 of us cam whoring in the toilet!

We had a sumptuous meal at a famous Chinese restaurant located at China Town on our last night. We had shark fins, suckling pig, seafood and bird nest. The meal was rather reasonably priced. (photos to be uploaded soon...)

Fortunately, there was no riot during our stay in Bangkok. We enjoyed the trip very much and look forward to the next trip! :)

Late payments!! :(

It has been consecutive 2 months that I have been forgetting to pay my bills.

Last month, I received 2 late payment reminders. One from SP services and another from Singtel. Luckily, the charge is only S$0.50. One more late payment but I didn't get the chance to be reminded which is the credit card bill. Late charge S$40!! Ironically, it was from my bank!!@#$%*

Just now, I remembered that I haven't cleared my phone bills again. Oh gosh...I should just apply Giro for all bill payments. I will do it next week...I swear!!

Busy...Stressed...Worried...

These 3 words best describe my feeling now. Busy hunting for right customers...stressed about how to hit target...and worried if there will be tomorrow or next quarter. Am I frightening you? Haha...so far my bank is still fine and business as usual, according to my boss. However, we still need to prepare for the worst. My motto always applies: Give my best and leave the rest to god. :)

Unfulfilled birthday wish

I was back from JB last Wednesday after my grandma's funeral. Being away for a few days, I didn't check my mailbox. I actually expected darling to collect mails for me but he didn't. I was too busy to ask him why too. Last Sat, I finally got time to walk a few more steps to pick up my mails. Surprisingly, I saw a romantic yellow envelope addressed to me. My first thought was...could it be my secret admirer? Haha...

Guess who was the sender? It was my darling! He wanted to tell me that he was not sad that we were not able to go Macau this time as we could have lots of chances to go there as and when I wish. The trip was meant for his birthday treat from me. I didn't buy him any present this year as I promised that I would bring him to Macau. In the end, it was not fulfilled. This really made me feel guilty towards him. But, he didn't complain at all. Instead, he sent me a card to comfort me. So sweet! :)

My grandma passed away

We didn't manage to proceed with our trip on 11 October. While on our way to airport, we received the news that my grandma passed away. We made our turn back home, a sudden and drastic change of mood within a second. Sigh...that's what we call 'LIFE'...

My grandma fell down 2 or 3 days before our departure date. My parents visited her then. She was still alright. But, she passed away in peace later. :(

A special meal

Darling said I was the queen on my birthday. Though it was one day after my birthday, he extended the privilege for me. He prepared dinner for me!! Hmm...let me recall...he should be the one and only boyfriend who ever cooked for me. I am so blessed.

He spent about an hour preparing:

1. Pan-fry sausages
2. Roasted sweet corns
3. Stir-fry xiao bai cai
4. Poached broccoli
5. Plain rice

He was not an expert in kitchen but the dishes were still edible. I would rank about 7 out of 10. Not the taste that brings him the score but his thought, sincerity, efforts and love. He did the grocery shopping, preparation and cooking all by himself. I was not helping him at all as I was working then (he took a day leave to run his errands in the morning that day). By the time I reached home, he already had all dishes ready for me. After the meal, he even helped out washing dishes and cleaning the floor. Where else can I find this kind of guy? I must have done something good to deserve him. Hehe...

I've got it

The above photo should be self-explanatory regarding what I've got. Yeap, it's iPhone 3G!

We walked in to Hello shop, thinking of registering my name for the iPhone. In the end, we were told that they accepted walk-in customers as well. Then, without hesitation, we immediately bought one on the spot. Darling said I was impulsive shopper. Hehe...dear, I have always been like this...don't you know? :p

Anyway, I am not regret for my decision. It's a great phone indeed. A real 'mobile' phone which allows you to go online wherever you are. A very entertaining phone that keeps you away from boredom during waiting time. You may read ebooks or news. You may listen to music. You may view video from Youtube. You may play games. You may log on to MSN or Yahoo messenger. You may login to Facebook. You may access emails. You may do a lot of things with iPhone 3G!

iPhone 3G

Have you reserved one with Singtel? I missed it!! :(

In fact, darling actually reserved one for me in his name. A very sweet thought of him that it was meant for a surprise for my birthday present. However, we just checked out with Hello shop and found out that the reservation was not transferable. This means I won't get it... :(

Not giving up yet...we will register in my own name at Hello shop tomorrow...hoping that some reservations will be canceled and I might get the chance to buy one.

My younger brother's graduation :)

This should be the happiest moment for my parents. Their most precious son, my youngest brother, is going to graduate from his college tomorrow. Though it's just a diploma, I am sure the joy my parents have will be greater than my sisters or I obtaining our bachelor degree.

Why my brother is not getting a degree? Not because my parents are biased, just that they feel he is not sensible and independent enough to take care of himself. So, they sent him to Sunway College which is located in JB. They might consider to send him to university in Adelaide as my elder sis is living there. Knowing my parents so well, they will not let him go to somewhere where he will be alone. This shows how precious he is, right? :)

For me, I feel really glad too. Seeing him from a baby till diploma grad, it is truly touching. He's grown up! I hope he can become sensible soon and further his studies within next 2 years. Then, he can begin his life journey. My parents' satisfaction will be even more complete.

I have been so busy this week that I forget to call my parents regarding the timing of his graduation ceremony. I would love to be there to witness the moment. I must call dad tomorrow first thing in the morning... :D

Wedding is off!!!

In the end, the wedding is being called off. K can't overcome his fear for the commitment. That's what J thinks. But I think otherwise. K is just an OLD INDIAN PLAYBOY thought he is already at the age of 44 with a big belly and a bit smelly (that's my impression about Indian).

Besides S, he has been SMS flirting with his female colleague lately. He even confessed that if that lady is not her colleague, he would have slept with her!

I feel glad for J, my friend. This might be heart-breaking moment for her. But, I really rather she sees his true colour than marrying to him blindly. J, you will find a better one. Don't mourn over K as he never deserves you.

I curse the day he was born!!

3 months ago, J happily announced her wedding to us. We were so glad for her that she had finally found her soul mate, K, at her 30's. K was indeed a good catch, holding a high post in an offshore bank and earning approx. S$30K per month. He was charismatic and romantic. Guess how much was the proposal ring? S$30K!!! To good to be true?? Yes, it is!!

2 weeks ago, J received a call from a lady who claimed she was K's 16-year girlfriend. We name her S here. S had been staying with K all these while, but in separate room in his apartment. She revealed that K had been playful during their 16 years relationship. K betrayed her many times and the last time she could remember was K with her best friend. Over the years, K had always had cold feet for marriage and that was why they were not married. Until 3 months ago when she found the certificate of J's diamond ring in K's room, she finally realized that K was going to marry someone else!

J was stunned when she heard from S. She had thought that she was so lucky to meet K in her life. A wonderful man that she really really loved a lot. Even though K had not introduced her to his parents, she still accepted his proposal after being together for 2 years. In this new era, we might not need to seek permission from our parents for marriage, but at least we should inform them and introduce our partner to them, right? It's a manner of respect. But, K didn't. J thought it was because he was too busy with his work schedule and hence delayed again and again. Never she could expect that it was due to the existence of S!

He explained that he had no courage to tell his parents that he was not going to marry S whom they always thought was their future daughter-in-law. So, he had been 'secretly' dating J for the past 2 years yet J didn't notice that at all? They had been to public places together. J even stayed overnight at his place sometimes while S was living at next door? Seriously, I can't believe a man who is so successful in his career can be so fucked up in personal life! He not only messed up his own but another 2 ladies' lives! Scumbag!

The latest update is S has moved out from K's apartment, not totally as she still leaves some of her stuffs there. K promises to bring J to meet his parents tomorrow morning (after dragging again and again) and hope that they can still proceed the wedding as planned. J is half-hearted now and doesn't know if she can trust him again.

I realize I didn't tell you guys that the wedding is scheduled in mid Sept. Do you think it will still be in time?? Sigh...the whole episode reminds me of 'Sex and the city'. K is a real life version of Mr. Big! Honestly speaking, I won't be surprised that he might be the run-away groom on the wedding day if they ever proceed with the wedding...

Returned mail box

This is 3rd or 4th time within last 2 months that the returned mail box at my block is deliberately damaged. I hope the town council is investigating the matter and the culprit will be caught soon. It is rather annoying to see this happening again and again!!

Close the deal!!

He made a right decision in the end. My colleague helped me to contact the customer. He explained to him how the facility could benefit his business and urged him to discuss the details with me rather than avoiding me. In the end, the customer finally agreed to meet up with me. Of course, I wouldn't let the chance go easily. So, I invited my boss to sit in for the meeting. She is always great in closing deal and she succeeded!! Yeah~~ :D I am closer to my target! Gambate! Gambate!! Gambate!!!

Don't regret...

A customer seems like avoiding me after his trade facility has been approved. He was so desperate and enthusiastic initially. I don't know what makes him change his mind so suddenly. I have been trying to talk to him but to no avail. He doesn't pick up my bloody calls!! My patience has reached its limit now.

I am seeing a great offer slipping away from him. I hope he won't regret for his decision after this. His case is very weak. I didn't really expect approval when I submitted it. So, this approval is a miracle and I doubt miracle can happen again. Mr. customer, hope you wake up your mind soon and call me while it is still not too late. Else, OBIGOOD!!!

Water treatment

A useful article to share with you guys...

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

Water treatment:
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
*Notes: Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
*Notes: Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily.

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. So, it is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

How much do you know about girls?

When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind. When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply. When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around. When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine.

When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying. When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered. When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it. When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.

Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person .... Find a guy ... who calls you beautiful instead of hot. who calls you back when you hang up on him. who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who ... kisses your forehead. Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats. Who holds your hand in front of his friends. Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! "

Being molested in a dream

What the hell!! I actually dreamed of that!! Being molested by my male customer...a dirty old man. So disgusting...

I felt quite uneasy with my first meeting with this customer. He talked a lot and more ridiculously he talked about sex topic with me. I don't know how you gals would handle this but I was too shocked to respond then. I let him go on. Super dumb, right? Luckily, I got his business in return for the sacrifice.

Recently, I contacted him for business again. He didn't talk about sex this time. But, he always found excuses to ask me out for meals. During the meals, I tactfully kept a certain distance from him. Whenever he came closer, I would shun. That was really stressful. Well...after all, I protected myself rather well in the end. But, to think I would dream of being molested by him! :( Remarkably, I was braver than my usual self in the dream. I scolded him loudly. I stared at him fiercely and told him that he found wrong target!

I told some friends about this dream. They warned me to be more careful if going out with customers, especially him. Haha...know what? I am going to meet him for lunch again tomorrow as I need him to introduce his company secretary to me. Sigh...钱真难赚！:(

Hey...you've put on weight!

Sad and shameful to announce here...but I really put on some weight since last year. Nobody to blame but myself as I have been quite lax in managing my diet.

2 weeks ago when I met my landlord for signing the 2nd year lease contract. She bluntly said this to me "You have put on weight. This means the Feng Shui of this unit is quite good. You know, all my previous tenants put on weight after they shifted in." Seriously, I never really think put on weight is a good thing to me!! I felt rather down after her comment. Another day, darling's friend also felt that I had put on some weight ever since we last met. My god! I can't take it anymore...I hate this line... :(

I always tell darling that I wanna lose weight. He always says he likes 'fleshy' gal. He has a very traditional thinking that a 'fleshy' girlfriend will bring good luck to him. Though I put on weight, he says he prefers me this way as I look healthier now. Is that so, darling? Can I continue putting more weight? Is that what you want?? Tell me...

Whatever it is, I have decided to control my diet. I really mind every word that people say about my weight. So, I must lose weight fast fast fast!!

Upcoming trip - Macau

So excited...I will be going for a trip early Oct, with my dearest parents, sister and darling. Yeah! :D

Ring (my sister) has booked the air tickets at a damn low price of RM350!! Best deal from Air Asia. Each ticket costs only RM6 for 2 way and the tax/fuel charge is about RM 340. Ring and I sponsor our parents for this trip. In addition, I am also paying for darling as this is his birthday trip. Thanks to Ring's great efforts, I really save a lot of money for that. Also, thanks Air Asia for the promotion. :)

It will be a free & easy trip. So, we gonna arrange the hotel reservation and itinerary on our own. We have made our decision for the hotel. For the itinerary, as the NATAS fair is coming soon, Ring suggested we go to collect some brochures for reference. Haha...exactly my sentiment! Both of us are so cheapskate!! Typical Wong's sisters...Hoho!

Hope this will be a memorable trip for us. :)

The tortoise and the hare

There once was a speedy hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, Slow and Steady, the tortoise, challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.

Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line.

After that, Hare always reminded himself, "Don't brag about your lightning pace, for Slow and Steady won the race!"

====================
I am telling this story to remind myself not to repeat the hare's mistake. Previously, I was like the hare. I always saw the finish line earlier than others but didn't manage to win at last. Why? I was too complacent! My greatest weakness. Now, time to change, Vicky Wong!! You have a very good start. Don't waste it. Work harder, run faster towards the finish line. Win the race. You have lost too many times which you are not supposed to! Now, prove yourself to those who think you can and to those who think you can't! More importantly, prove to yourself.

Spiritual belief

Spiritual belief is so powerful. I don't know how much you believe in that. But, I really think it works for me. Nowadays, I pray 2 times to Guan Yin Buddha everyday, morning and night. I chant a bit too.

Almost 2 months ago, I almost collapsed due to continuous bad luck. I cried very often as my hard work were not paid off. All sorts of problem could occur during that period. I was so helpless. Then, at a crucial timing, I met this person namely C. She told me why I was so unlucky. She advised me to pray more. She lent me a CD of chanting song. She has guided me to more positive thinking. Thereafter, I feel better. I stop crying. I feel my luck is picking up and accordingly my business. Till now, she still very concerns about me. Occasionally, she will call to ask if I am doing fine. I really appreciate her help, advice and guidance. Without her, I might still be trapped in the negative world. Thanks, C....Also thanks to Guan Yin Buddha for the blessing... :)

Rude colleague

Our team leader implement cross checking system to the team. Every case that we are going to submit needs to be cross checked by another team member first.

Just now, IL brought his case to us and asked if any one of us (MC, LP or me) was free to check his case. As MC and LP were busy with their cases, I volunteered to do it for him. Well...I regretted taking the responsibility. First of all, the terrible handwriting. Secondly, some missing details in the application form. Thirdly, no counter signing on the corrections. Fourthly, his attitude.

I was checking the case like it was my own. I checked the forms and ensured all documents were attached and in place. The next thing was to ensure the accuracy of the calculations and analysis. I went into details by asking him how he derived his figures. He showed me his impatience and talked in a harsh tone. I told him not to talk to me that way while I was putting my heart checking through his case. Apparently, he didn't appreciate that. He thought the case was error-free and just wanted me to roughly go through and acknowledge that I had vetted his case. He said he gonna rush home. Hello...Neither did I have a lot of free time to do this for you!! I gonna cancel my date with bf because of your unwelcome case, F***! So infuriating! I never wanna check his case again...I just can't tolerate people who don't take pride in their work and still being yaya-papaya!

Love is...

Love is...
when you are coughing, he gets you some water...

If it's yours, it'll be..

A customer who had been running away from me for past 2 months suddenly called up. I was surprised that he would call me again. He told me that his another company might need to apply for trade facility from me. Again? Last time, he told me he needed trade line too but went MIA after that. He avoided my calls till I gave up. So now what? Deep inside me, I couldn't help to wonder whether the episode would repeat or not. :p Of course, I didn't turn down the business. I still met up with him and his partners, putting the past behind. This time, I really hope to close the deal.

God, bless me!

Unreasonable customer

I made a call to an idiot this morning. It was meant to ask him for top up for his existing loan. After explaining the details and procedure to him, I asked him when I could collect relevant documents from him. Cheapskate as he was, he asked if he would get any free gift if he signed up the loan with me. I told him that it was not our practice for business banking dept but I could offer him our organizer and calendar out of goodwill. However, as greedy as he was, he said it was very insincere of me. Apparently, he wanted something with greater value!

Hey boss, do you know how much I earn from your loan? It is miserable 1% for my overall target, ok? Do you think I am that stupid to buy you something out from my pocket just to get this small deal? You must be out of mind!!

I insisted that there wouldn't be any free gift. He then said that my colleague also called him for the loan top up earlier on, even earlier than me. He claimed that my colleague promised a free gift like consumable product. Out of doubt, I probed further. He revealed the identity of the salesperson to me. I had no idea which dept and which branch she was from. I then told him that I would check with my boss later if there was really a promotional campaign ongoing which was not to my knowledge yet. He then felt panic. He accused me that I was trying to spoil the salesperson's trick. I denied but he went on with his accusation by making such statement that "You are very bad! If you are unable to close this sales, you also shouldn't report her to your boss...you are mean!" Hey hey...Hello!!! Do you think I am that free to care about this kind of unscrupulous salesperson. This kind of people are just like worms to me. I can't be bothered with them, ok?

Seriously, I never like to deal with customer like this. For a moment, I felt like hanging up on him. I was just wasting my breath and precious time talking to a worthless customer. I stressed to him that bankers are not supposed to entice customers with presents and we are also not supposed to accept presents from customers for any reason. I told him that I didn't wanna comment about the way that salesperson closing her deals but I definitely would not choose to be like her. I have integrity. You know what he responded? I almost exploded due to that! He said "You do not have business ethic and people like you can't go far!". Fucking hell...who gave him the rights to curse people?? Who the fuck he thinks he is?? Fucker!

We ended the conversation unpleasantly. He threatened that he wanted to complain to my boss as he thought I was rude. For all I care! I gave him the number and hang up. He thought I would apologize or fear? No way, I still think I am right! You may complain to CEO or Prime Minister or President or even to God. For people who has done nothing wrong, we have nothing to be afraid of!!

是否常吃鸡脚?

Got this from a forwarded email...not sure how true it is but I am sure that I will try not to eat chicken wings too often.

无论已婚或是未婚的女性同胞都要小心注意喔 !

最近艺人夏祎于子宫位置长了 (巧克力囊肿 ) 以及胡晴雯开刀割除的瘤,即是瘤内积满血,
且血呈深黑色! 满以为割了之后会完全康复, 殊不知短短几个月间又再复发。

于是即向妇科医生求诊..医生随即问她是否常吃鸡翅,朋友感到十分愕然 ....为何医生会知道？

原来，鸡的激素或抗生素注射部位通常在鸡翅、鸡颈位, 而鸡脚则会囤积抗生素。
故此，常吃鸡翅或鸡脚 再加上女性荷尔蒙分泌影响, 令爱吃鸡翅或鸡脚冻的女士们特别容易患上子宫部位的肿瘤, 所以奉劝大家少吃鸡翅或鸡脚冻为妙。

现今社会女性有80%都容易得到子宫肌瘤及巧克力囊肿 , 真是可怕ㄚ。

Wedding dinner phobia

I helped out during Mark's wedding dinner last Saturday. I was the receptionist, a challenging task when Mark's guest list was very vague. He named most of his guests with surnames or nicknames. Fortunately, he got another 2 friends to share my stress later. I 'conveniently' left the task to them by acting busy collecting angpows there. :p There were times we needed to drag him out to verify the table number for his guests. Quite chaotic actually...But good thing was Mark handled hiccups very calmly though he had thousands of things in his mind at the moment. I couldn't help to imagine how I would react if I were him. Ho.....I imagined myself throwing tantrum with gloomy face. Haha...thought of that made me trembling. I hope I can skip this. :p

The proceeds of angpows were not sufficient to cover the banquet cost. In the end, after so much hassles, it was a LOSS! Hmm...was it worthwhile then?

Moreover, every time I see couples marching in and smiling to people who they hardly talk to in their life like distant relatives & parents' friends, I can't imagine myself into that situation. It is so awkward! I really hope my hubby, my in-laws and my parents will agree to let me have a much simpler wedding dinner if there should be one. To date, I know darling and his mom are at my side. 3 of us share the same sentiment that wedding dinner is too much works to be done. Lazy huh? :D

Let's just do nothing & think nothing..

This weekend, we are going to KL to attend his younger brother's wedding. I feel so excited, partly for the happy event and partly because I can get away from the work stress here. It'll be just 1.5 day but I am happy still. It's quarter end for Q2 and I shall need to recharge myself for the next marathon run in Q3. I need this break desperately as I really didn't take a break for some time.

Darling has been busy with a few projects too lately. He is rather stressed. Hope he can take this chance to have good rest. I suggest to him that we do not plan much activities for the weekend. We can just laze around, do nothing and think nothing. :p

After this, hope I will have more energy to run full force and hit the target next quarter. Gambate! Jia You! All the best!!

Seatless

Due to space constraint, I have to share desk with my colleagues. I will sit on whoever seat when they are not around. It's been 3 months that I am working with such a condition. Honestly speaking, besides DP, I don't remember I ever needed to share PC/desk with colleagues in my former companies. So, it was initially very hard for me to accept this. But, I slowly got over it and bear with the situation which I didn't like. While I thought everyone was accommodating, in fact some people felt otherwise.

K always comes to work around 2 or 3pm (no one gives him this permission but I just rarely see him coming in early). So, I always occupy his table during morning time. I always unplug his laptop from the cables and replace with mine. When he comes in, usually I will plug back his laptop and move to somewhere else. Yesterday, as usual, I did the same. Unfortunately, his laptop got hanged because of the unplug & replug motions. So, he vented his anger on me. He violently throwing things in front of me and said nasty words. It was very clear that he wanted to let me know that I was not welcomed to use his table. Simple as that! Hence, I don't think I will ever wanna use his table or trouble him anymore.

No more KFC for me??

This is my 2nd encounter at KFC where I am told that they have no chicken breast meats or ribs. What's going on?? I never like to eat thigh and drumstick. But they only have those parts. Sometimes, they might have chicken wings. So, for people like me should never patronize KFC anymore? !@#$%^&

Father's day

I nearly forgot to update my blog for father's day celebration. Too busy.... :p

I bought a LG blue tooth headset for day for his present because I knew that he just bought a new phone for himself and it didn't come with the headset. Unfortunately, the headset that I bought was not compatible to his new mobile phone. So, he gonna use it with his old phone. :(

We were supposed to have dinner on Sat night but Ring couldn't make it. We celebrated it on Sun night, at Don Sushi Restaurant. We ordered a family set meal which was a promotion on Father's day. It included 4 dishes: Cod fish soup, Tempura prawns, Baked scallops & Teriyaki chicken. The portion was quite small but it was alright because we were almost full after the round of sushi.

Cod fish soup (Yummy...the Miso soup base is my favourite)

Tempura prawn (S0-so only)

Baked scallop (Why were they in pink?? What were they made of?)

Teriyaki chicken (The sauce was too sweet. Not nice!)

Hope dad enjoyed the day! May him live in good health and happiness always.

Blog = Memories

Blogs help me to remember my memories. Now, we still remember what happened yesterday, last month or last year. As we age, we might not be able to keep these memories clearly. Hence, I blog. My wish is to show my blog to my kids. Let them understand how we go through stages in our lives, how we look like when we are young. Should be very interesting. :)

Another reason, darling has poor memory. He always forget where/how we celebrated our valentine's days, anniversaries, birthdays etc. My blog will remind him of all memories we had.

P.S. I don't think he really forgets, he just likes to tease me. Right? ;)

Best new comer

We always have our sales meeting on Friday. This was one of the absurd conversation yesterday:

Boss: WY, how's your sales? Can you be my best new comer this quarter?
WY: Boss, I hope to but I am not sure if Vicky allows me to.
Me: Huh??? I don't think I have the honour. Maybe you should ask the rest of the new comers? (I arrowed him back by telling that he had humiliated the rest. Smart?)

Sales persons are always competitive. We always view our colleagues as competitors because we all wanna be the top sales. However, I think WY is being a bit personal. I am NOT doing well even though I am currently the top new comer. I predict any of the new comers can beat me sooner or later as they have pending cases to close next week while I have ZERO! Honestly, if I am doing well, I think I will give him a bitchy answer like: Why not you try harder next quarter? Haha! I don't have this chance as I am really in shit now!

I really hope I can do well next quarter and if he dares to throw the question again. We shall see. ;p

KL or SG?

Last night, darling made an unusual request. He wanted to go somewhere for a drink. I then suggested Clarke Quay (as it is the nearest to my workplace :p). We went to Hooters (where all waitresses having big boobs and sexy butts) for dinner and drink. After dinner, he asked if I enjoyed the night and the life in Singapore. Hmm....I guess he was trying to make me love staying in Singapore for another 5 to 10 years.

Lately, I have been telling him that I hope to go back to KL, saying that I am sick of being here. I need a place that gives me a sense of belonging. He knows that I am not doing very well with my job lately. As smart as him, even though I don't tell, he still knows that I am trying to find an excuse to run away from my job. He always read my mind.

Back to the topic, he says KL life is not as good as what I imagine. Staying and working there for many years, he says life is getting tougher in KL. Living condition is not better yet the living expenses are damn high. He prefers Singapore. Though he doesn't own a car here, he likes MRT system. He must be terrified by the lousy traffic at KL. He says NTUC provides cheap and fresh food items like fruits, milk, juices etc. Another thing, Malaysia is getting worse with its public security, basically every part of Malaysia. Financial wise, of course the pay is better here. He asks me to think thrice for going back. He evens suggests that I can go back to try out the life over there and consider my decision again. He wants me to take this decision seriously, I know.

Darling, I hear you, like you have heard me. Perhaps, I am taking every good thing in Singapore for granted. Just like how we take someone for granted time after time, we tend to forget how good the person is, how much we love him/her, what he/she has done for us. This afternoon, we will be going for high tea at Inter-continental hotel. Again, he is trying hard to make me like Singapore life. It is not that we can't go these places in KL. I guess his point is we are earning much more that we have extra money to spend in Singapore than in KL. :)

Vegetarian Thursday

It's vegetarian day for me on every Thursday. In fact, I have been practicing this habit since end 2006. Whenever I tell people this, they always ask me why. Well...it's partly for religion and partly for health. It's good to cleanse our body once a week. On another side, it's a good training for discipline and determination. So far, I am rather happy with my self-control ability. :p

Jump queue?

Last night, we went to NTUC Fairprice to buy some groceries. While queuing, I remembered that I needed to buy cornflakes. So, I went to get it. Thinking that the queue was quite long, so I took some time to choose the brand and compare pricing.

By the time I went back to the counter, I saw darling standing beside the couple who was first in the queue. Apparently, I took too long that darling had to let some people passing him. Since I was back, it should be alright that we took back our position, right? But, some people thought otherwise. Firstly, I saw that couple giving us a fierce look like we were trying to cut their queue. Kanasai!

Not just that, there came another irritating four-eyed frog who was standing behind us. He asked darling with an interrogative tone whether he queued for the line. Darling answered him politely yet he still gave us that kind of doubtful look. What the hell!! Do we look so uncivilized that we don't even know how to queue?

To clear our conscience, I said loudly to darling in front of the couple and the four-eyed frog: "Dear, next time you must stand in the line even if you gonna let people passing you. Otherwise, 'some people' will misunderstand you for jumping queue. The best is you can stand next to the cashier. Then everyone behind you will know that you do 'queue' for the line, OK?". Haha...Bitchy? :p

Racism in practise by Pizza Hut Malaysia?!!

Received a forwarded email. Quite infuriating...

Hello everyone. I have some interesting news.

I was in Pizza Hut (Sunway Pyramid) yesterday and suddenly my friend showed me the bill. The bill contains normal things la (number of person, bill number and what is ordered). But, what shocked me is that they had space called ' RACE ' . I guess since we were all wearing tudung, they labelled us as 0, which means MALAY. Later, when we went to pay…we had no service charge and no tax charge. Still in shock, I peeped into another bill in the counter. In that bill, under the race space, it was labelled as C (which I guess means Chinese). That bill had service and tax charges!!!

I started investigating. One of my Sri Lankan friends was labelled as Indian it seems and she also had to pay service and tax charges a few weeks back. What I ' m wondering is that…does anyone know about this? I find it rather strange that they charge service and tax charge using race in Pizza Hut, out of all the places!

WE SHOULD NOT GO EAT AT PIZZA HUT!

True love

This story tells us something about LOVE & LIFE.

My husband is S/W Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.

One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why? " he asked, shocked.

"I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered.

He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased. Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?

And finally he asked me: "What can I do to change your mind?"

Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: "Here is the question. If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.

Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?"

He said: " I will give you your answer tomorrow...." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but....please allow me to explain the reasons further.....

This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.

"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.

You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.

You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city. I have to save my eyes to show you the way.

You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.

You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.

You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... "

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting... And as I continue on reading... "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...

I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...

**************************************************
That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ...

Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship.

Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... AND THAT'S LIFE !

May all of us cherish the true love we have found by now. :)
