Bangkok friends
The two lovely girls, Boat and Bam are here in Singapore for a shopping trip. Came here on sat and going back to Bangkok on Tues, just in time for the countdown to 2009.
Thank you Wendy, Tenny and Winine for accompanying me on the shopping routes. I would be quite bored alone without the three of you.
Also sorry Winine for making you so tired just the evening before your first day of work at Siemens. Hope you will make new friends there so that working time passes more easily for you.
I am going to bed soon too, i have been walking around the malls since 11am.
My legs and feet need their well deserved rest. Good nite.

What a birthday!!
I am elated today. With so many surprises instore for me. All from my dearie cousins. I thought after last year birthday which is a major milestone for me, this year would be plain and i'll simply pass it off.
In the morning, my youngest cousin Jazli called and said "Happy birthday, we love you." I was already very pleased because he is sooooo sweet.
Good friends and colleagues also remembered, they called or text me bdae wishes.
Then afternoon, i received the precious handmade album from Tenny containing alot of my lost memories and the lovely birthday card from Wendy and Winine with something inside which is very useful to me*)
And lastly the surprise birthday song and cake on the 31st floor of Swissotel Stamford hotel, all of you together with Boat and Bam. It caught me off guard totally. I seriously thought Tenny was having diarrhoea in the toilet since she is taking such a long time inside fixing the candle on the cake.
Thank you, the three darling cousins and Jazli. Love you and all the rest!

What a morning!
My boss called me on my mobile this morning... on SAT! First time in almost 3 years. Did i do anything so wrong that he cant wait till Monday?
My heart missed a beat when i see his number on my phone. I was downstairs when he called. So i call him back after i see the missed call.
In the end, all he wanted was to obtain some information regarding a property in SFO.
Wow, scared me!!

in 15 mins' time...
...Merry Christmas!
I just came back from Orchard Road, after an afternoon of karaoke singing and whole night of shopping with dear cousins. Was caught in the human jam though when we wanted to escape home through the MRT. Had to walk a big round around the construction of ION Orchard just to get to the train station. Only consolation was the train wasnt that packed.
And to celebrate christmas, silly me bought a grande cup of Iced Latte with lots of whipped cream from Starbucks at Eastpoint mall at around 11.30pm. I just felt like having something from Starbucks to feel the christmas mood. I dont know, maybe Starbucks is from the states and that is the country where i feel most strongly during this season. I am having it now as i type.
I also learnt something new tonight. I can get decaffinated drinks from Starbucks. So even if i drink latte at midnight, i can still fall fast asleep....
Zzzzzz...

Hygiene
Second post today...
I dont understand why some people can cut their nails in public especially inside public transport. Their nails are flying all around and it is a health hazard for the rest of the passengers.
What happened if we accidentally swallow the nails? or fly into our eyes? Inconsiderate.

Housefly
Mr K who has transferred to my dept and is sitting 2 cubicles from me has so much things to talk....
An example:
Today, i was so irritated that i "told" him off. Again so many times already for the past 2 months, he was talking non-stop with my colleague who is sitting next to me.
I just had a meeting in the morning and i want to rush out the minutes before i go off so that i dont forget the important points. While i am trying to summarise and remember what was being said and include them into the minutes, he was beside my cubicle talking and talking.
I thought maybe i will give him 15 mins to finish what he wants to say. Otherwise i would seem selfish. But after 15 mins, he is still very "into" his topic. So i called my colleague on her phone thinking that i can break off the conversation. Finally he walked off to the loo.
After probably half an hour later, he comes back to talk to my colleague again!! Wah lau, i really cannot concentrate and i cannot finish my minutes.
So i started to raise my voice and say "heh you all very noisy leh, i am trying to write minutes. Can you all talk another day? I cant work!"
That stupid goodoo still dont catch my hint. Still talked for abt 5 mins until my other colleague who was with him said that i complained abt the noise so they better stop. Then he became embarressed and got back to his seat.
Actually he is not noisy as in like talking loudly. But he is talking in small, whispering, constant sound and its very irritating. Like a housefly flying near your ears and you cant concentrate on doing your things. I dont know if you have encountered before.
I suspect he is the kind of person that you have to tell him straight in the face. Otherwise, he wont get what you mean.

Stone
Already not in a fantastic mood today. Woke up at 5am yesterday and slept at 2am on the same night. All because of the day trip to Batu Pahat, Malaysia. Not to complain- the trip was fun, we enjoyed ourselves except for poor Tenny who got sick during the car ride. Hope you get well soon.
Anyway, i am very tired today. Was supposed to meet Huiping for dinner, also had to postpone to tomorrow. *sorry
What made it worse was i "genna" reprimanded by my boss before lunch. Ok, i admit that it was my fault. I shouldnt be a smart Alec. I should have cleared with him before i send out the email. I was affected by his frustrated and impatient face. But i had good intentions, thinking that since he is so busy, i should just settled the matter on my own.
Argggghhh, all i wanted was for the day to end so that i can go home and sleep...Zzzzzzz

High school gathering
I met up with my secondary schoolmates today. We had lunch at TCC, terminal 3.
2 of them, i have not met them since i graduated from school. It's a good 15 years?
Anyway, they have not really changed much. in terms of looks. But they are doing quite well in their career. One is in IT and a mother of 2 big boys and the other is in digital marketing. Interesting.
They couldnt remember my name initially although they recognise my face. I must have very low profile in school and also changed quite abit. Definitely not as chubby as schooldays. My dieting efforts worth it.
It's good to update each other. And hear news of other classmates as well.
Merry Christmas my friends!

Workplace roles
This is an interesting observation.
We are like 藝人 in the company.
My manager really acts like our 經紀人, always helping us to schedule, organise our work, what we should do etc. You know, the usual things that a manager does. I dont mind that seriously. He can be quite comical when he is doing that for us.
AND our vp is the 狗仔隊. Always hot on our heels. Chasing us for updates and every little details. We are so stressed up by him.
The previous one never does that. He will leave it to us and even solve the problem for us. Never chase us and he trust us to settle the issue. I miss him!!
