生命不能 Ctrl+Z

Ctrl+Z 是电脑打字操作语言，功能是 undo， 有“回到过去”的意思。

打了一段文字，要回头看之前输入了什么，安

Ctrl 键再按 Z 键，就回去一次。如果再按 Ctrl 键不断按 Z 键，可以回到十多次前的过去。

这是电脑最厉害的地方之一，因为现实中谁也没有回到过去的本领。

Ctrl+Z 用多了，有时会产生错觉，话刚说出去、情侣刚闹分手、玻璃刚打破那一刹那，脑海总会闪过 Ctrl+Z 的念头，多么希望当下能够 undo 。之后才惊觉自己失态，唯有一声低叹。

时间，从来就不受人类意志力控制，为所欲为，可寻的迹象是太阳东升西沉、潮起潮落，以及万物的生长和老化过程，但城市人的时间观念，除了几点上下班几点约会逛街几点播映什么电视节目之外，几乎没有觉察到自己正被它一点一滴地腐蚀着。

最显著的提醒，大概是来到新旧年交替、更换日历的时刻，这时才恍然大悟上一年有太多的怠慢与错过。

生命不能 Ctrl+Z ,多少人因此领悟到要珍惜当下?

珍惜当下是什么意思，怎么用一生贯彻?

这也许是人生最容易不及格的科目，因为我们擅长光说不练、光想不做，而这，其实是对自己最大的辜负。

Watches

A friend showed me these pictures of watches. These watches remind me of KC. He loves to collect watches. If we are still in contact, I'd have share with him these watches. However, We have not been in contact for long. I wonder how is he getting on now. He chose this way, nothing I can do too. Sigh...

OMG! So Funny.. :D

Today I took MRT train home as usual. When I was about to tap my Ezlink card, I saw a woman tapping her Ezlink card on the left of her gantry door. At first I didn't notice what was wrong. However, when I was about to tap my Ezlink card, my gantry door suddenly opened!

I was stunned for a second and was wondering how come the gantry opened even before I tapped my Ezlink card. Then I realised the woman tap on the wrong side! LOL... she was looking around before she realised she tapped on the wrong side. She looked like a China Nationality. Not sure if it's her first time taking train. But it was sooo funny. First time encountered such an incident. I couldn't be bothered either, just tapped my card and walked through my gantry while there was already human jam at her side :P

La Mer Lifting Face Serum

THE LIFTING FACE SERUM & THE LIFTING INTENSIFIER

A totally new and paired approach to reawakening the appearance of youth, The Lifting Face Serum and The Lifting Intensifier are designed to work in synergy, immediately and visibly lifting the skin and restoring clarity and brightness.

At the heart of The Lifting Face Serum and The Lifting Intensifier is a rare blue algae that flourishes in pristine waters fed by ancient glacial waters and underground springs. Its exceptional lifting energies come to life as it journeys through a meticulous bio-fermentation process, boosting its efficacy far beyond anything previously imagined. A network of proteins within the Blue Algae Lift Ferment stimulates skin’s own internal building blocks while other proteins help prevent their premature breakdown. Skin’s ability to renew itself is greatly enhanced. A youthful smoothness and bounce are tremendously restored.

The Lifting Intensifier is specially designed to boost the lifting benefits of The Lifting Face Serum. Key to this targeted treatment is Azurite, a crystal formed in sea beds that helps promote the collagen and elastin network where support is needed most. As The Lifting Intensifier permeates the skin, this mesh-like matrix physically upholds the skin from within. Over time, The Lifting Intensifier trains skin to sustain a smooth, resilient, more lifted appearance. Precious marine proteins, sea-derived enzymes and botanicals within The Lifting Face Serum and The Lifting Intensifier are amplified and delivered through La Mer’s exclusive Deconstructed Waters™, empowering their abilities as never before. Skin is infused with energy.

The appearance of discolorations is visibly diminished as powerful anti-oxidants help prevent the appearance of future discolorations. An unprecedented new clarity, tone and brightness is achieved. True to La Mer’s heritage, the visible benefits are immediate and continue to increase with time.

USAGE:
The Lifting Face Serum: After cleansing and toning, tap several drops onto fingertips and sweep over face and neck. For best results, follow with The Lifting Intensifier.

The Lifting Intensifier: After preparing the skin with The Lifting Face Serum, use the wand to dot onto areas support is needed most. Smooth into skin with a light patting motion. For best results, follow with Crème de la Mer and The Eye Balm where appropriate.

WORKS WELL WITH:
The Face Serum : A silky elixir that revive’s skin’s youthful clarity and brightness.
The Eye Concentrate: The ultraluxe eye tre atment that works wonders on impressionable skin.

Crème de la Mer: The legendary Crème that has inspired a cult following.
The Refining Facial: A Multi-action complex that instantly smooths and boost skin’s radiance.

Enjoying making remarks

I hate going to work by train. It's always so packed! Can't understand why those people just like pushing and squeezinig in the crowd. Is it just so fun to do so?

Yesterday, there was this guy whose gf was so FAT that she kept bumping into my bums. I was rather annoyed and i bumped her back. She seems to be so FAT that she couldn't feel it. I swore to eat FATTER so that I can bumped her FLAT! It was so annoying...

After work, I met up with HP for dinner. We went to Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe located at Plaza Singapura level 6. There was this couple on my left who ordered a barrel of soya beancurd that cost $5.90++. When the desert came, we thought it was silly to order it as it was much cheaper if bought from Jollibean.

Then the couple on my right. The guy looked not bad but the girl wasn't pretty. She was drinking her glass of fruit juice and there was sooooooo little left in the glass. Yet she insisted the bf to finish up for her as she couldn't drink anymore. I told HP it's so stupid of the girl. There's not much left, yet still want to finish up till the last drop. And asked the bf to drink when it's just 1 sip left. Silly right? Can't understand why there are goondu people around.

We shopped for a while. Then went to Carl's Junior for its Hand-Scooped Vanilla Ice Cream Shake. It's very nice and cost only $5.90. It's thick and saturated. Taste much nicer than McDonald's.

Then came this couple. The guy was very skinny and the gf was fat. HP asked why do skinny guys like fat girls? We can't understand why too. Probably they are nice to hug. HP said the girl is already so fat, should not be eating fastfood again. Instead, she should take salad. Haha..

We also observed the shoppers. Some just cannot make it lor. Some so fat... HP said those should really go slimming already. It was so funny and bad of her to make the comments. I had to keep telling her to lower her volume in case later people come and bash us up. Hehehe.

Updates

Nothing much to write about. Everyone seems to be very busy. I'm BUSY TOO! I want to go holidays. Either timing clash, or can't find anyone to go with. I'm just so sick of everything.

Envy people who can go holidays. I'm just living an isolated life, a meaningless life....

I'd rather nobody reads my blog so that I can vent all my frustrations and complaints here. Don't have to bother what others think. It's a world of my own here, why should I have to consider others' feelings? Not happy then don't read my blog lah. Heck care how you all feel! Why should I be the one to accomodate people always?

Another inconsiderate person

Met up with a friend last night for dinner. We went to have Sushi Tei as she wanted to. She's rather a big eater and sometimes I'm just on the losing end if I were to go out dining with her. Probably it would be much worthwhile to have buffet instead. But nevertheless, I went for the appointment as we haven't met up for long.

As usual, she kept comparing my salary with hers and commented that I should enjoy eating more as need not save so much money. From my point of view is that I'm not a big eater and if I were to overeat, I'd throw up most likely after the meal. And I save for rainy days, not that I'm being stingy. I spend in other areas too which she didn't see. She likes to go for those cheap services. For me, I don't. I only go for those which I think is convenient for myself.

Then during dinner, she told me that she had to go off at about 9-10pm as her friend would be coming to give her a lift home!

Well, both of us are staying in the west and can't she just either ask the friend to give me a lift as well and drop me at somewhere in the west? Or couldn't she just take train and accompany me too? She expected me to stay with her until when her friend was ready to go and pick her up.

Chey! She thinks I'm goondu or what? Of course I wasn't happy about it and it's written all over my face. She still had the cheek to ask me why was I looking so grumpy. I told her I was just being tired and wanted to go home. She said that it was only 9pm and I wanted to go home so soon. I told her the shops were already closing and there's nothing much to shop around.

I went back and she went to look for her friend to pick her up. Sometimes just can't understand why are people so inconsiderate. Annoying.... >.<

Insecure relationships

Just met up with a friend last night for dinner, learnt from her that one of the ex classmates got divorced. I was rather surprised as they were a model couple in school days and the husband was a goody boy from my school.

Well, from the looks of it, things are really unpredictable.

Another friend, J, told me he got divorced was because his wife and he had long working hours and that both of them seldom meet. One day, he could not withstand the loneliness any longer and asked for a divorce.

At first, I thought that he was just not being understanding as both had to work. Both of them should salvage their marriage. Communication is the key factor. However, until recently from what I encountered, I really truly understand how J felt. That kind of loneliness could be unbearable. If there's communication and interaction from each other, be in MSN, SMS, or any other means, I guess even without seeing each other is alright. But with no response from the other party is as good as he is dead!

It always holds true that only until when we are in the position of the person's shoe do we understand how they feel.

I rest my case.

Do I belong here... or... ?

It's one of those days again. I just can't find anyone to go out with. Sometimes I wonder if I just belong to this world. Maybe one of these days I'd just leave this world quietly. Anyway, nobody would even notice my absence. Nobody would even be bothered to entertain me. It's just quite meaningless to live on. I'm just sick of all these nonsense where everyone gives the same excuse of being busy. It seems that I'm the most free around. If I'm really that annoying, just tell me off! Don't have to shun away from me! Idiots........

28 Sep 2008

I haven't been feeling well since Friday night. Started to get a little emotional. And then yesterday morning, LG happened to be online and I poured all out to him. He's often unreachable. I came to know that actually his work is very busy and he encountered some problems at work - a costly equipment of theirs sank. Investigations are now taken place. Their audit is coming in another week's time. I guessed he's rather stressed up too.

At noon, I went for my facial session. As usual, the staff there are very blur. HP and I share the same package. I made the appointment but they called HP up to confirm the appointment made. HP was so pissed with them as she was going on call. She told them she was working, how would she be able to go for the appointment? She told them to call me to confirm instead. But the staff wanted to cancel the appointment made since she was not able to make it. No wonder nobody called me to confirm the appointment. I had to call them up to confirm with them the timing instead! Poor service!

After having their black glutinous rice for dessert, I couldn't even walk well to the bus stop. Partly because my stomach already wasn't feeling very well due to the cramps. Then I think there's some indigestion too. At night, I felt so lethargic and slept at 8pm+!! I couldn't really sleep as my stomach was feeling so bloated and it was painful. I woke up at 11pm+ and headed for the toilet. Then came out and watched the F1 on TV for a while. Hee.. still got mood to watch F1 :P

I went back to sleep after the programme ended. Slept till this morning and woke up at 8am+ The pain subsided a little but it was still painful. I still have to attend HN's wedding dinner today. Sigh... Not sure to go or not. I even bought new blouses to attend her wedding dinner! But now... how to go like that? I also can't eat a lot. Hmmm... will see how bah.

Dining with LG

It's the 2nd time we meet up for dinner. We met at Tiong Bahru Plaza and went to Xiao Xuan Feng for dim sum the first time we met. It's a small cafeteria. The food was not bad though and the price was reasonable.

Last evening, we went to Holland Village. LG came to pick me up at Queenstown MRT station. At first LG suggested that we should go to The Rail Mall if I need to work late. However, I tried to assure that I'll try to turn up as soon as possible after I completed my work.

We managed to meet up at 7pm. We went to Holland Village. LG suggested going to Wala Wala but it was so crowded. There was no available seat. Ultimately, we went to an Italian Restaurant nearby - AMICI Authentic Italian Restaurant.

AMICI was a cosy place. The ambience seems nice though the place where we were seated was rather dim. It seems a place for fine dining though LG said it was not as he was in casual wear (bermudas) and may not be allowed in if it's a place for fine dining :P

LG ordered 1 eggplant parmigiana for our appetizer. It consists of layers of sliced eggplant filled with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil. An ideal choice for health-conscious diners indeed. Then we ordered a Spaghetti Nero Di Calamari E Merluzzo (Pasta with squid ink and fried cod), Lasagne Al Forno (Oven-baked minced beef with layers of pasta) and two drinks.

The food was not too bad but probably because I don't have a big appetite, I was actually slightly full after the appetizer. Hehehe.. In the end, I didn't finish up my lagsane, which is quite wasteful.

Below is the link for AMICI, though the interior design doesn't seem to be the same as advertised on the website :P

Actually quite enjoy dining with LG as I think he lives to eat. Can see how he enjoys eating. Hmmm.. at the rate we are dining, I have to watch my weight then... hehehe...

Reasons for Uninstallation of Game

I came across this website www.arcadetown.com and downloaded some games to play. I thought those were 1 hour free trial games, however, after playing for some time, I went to have my dinner. When I came back, the game was still running. It would already have been past 1 hour. So I thought probably this game is free trial perpetually, probably some kind of outdated games.

This morning when I wanted to play the game, it couldn't start! So I reckon that once the game is closed after playing for 1 hour, it will not resume. Hence, I went to Control Panel and tried to uninstall the game. It brought me to a website to complete the survey for the uninstallation.

There is this field which asks for "Reasons for uninstallation". I could think of no better reason, and stated "Trial Expired". Hehehe... :P

Unhygienic Food Vendor!

I went to this S11 Food Centre at Bukit Gombak which is facing the MRT track for dinner just now. I went to order Mushroom Fishballs Mee Pok. There was a customer in front of me. When his food was ready, the vendor tried to put some cabbages into his bowl but some cabbages dropped onto the table cloth. The vendor picked it up. I thought he was going to throw it away. Guess what?! He put back into the same container of cabbages! Wah piangz!

When it was my turn, I was keeping close watch on the vendor to make sure that he didn't put the cabbage into my bowl. When the auntie served me my noodles, I quickly stopped her when she was about to add cabbages into my bowl!

Don't expect me to eat those dirty, unhygienic cabbages! >.<

PASS LOR!!!!

YESH YESH YESH! I've passed my exams and graduated! FINALLY! :D WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO~~~

Enjoyable Sunday

Today I went to meet up with YH. We hit it off quite well, and have lots to talk about.

We went to Waraku at Marina Square for lunch. After that, we shopped around Marina Square, then proceeded to Suntec and had a drink there. Then we took a train to Bugis. While at Citi Link, I bought two pairs of shoes at Nose.

It was already raining when we were at Suntec. We actually intended to walk from Suntec to Bugis, however, had to abandoned the plan as it was raining. Hence we took a train there.

At Bugis, we went to the shops where the steamboats are. I wanted to go Chuan Yi Pin but it seems to be full house and I didn't want to sit at the basement level. So, YH suggested that we go to the Parklane Deli House for its steamboat.

The food and chicken soup base was not too bad. The tom yam soup didn't taste as it should. It didn't have the taste of tom yam and it was too sour. However, we still enjoyed our chat over dinner.

YH bought a set of pins for me from her business trip to Xiamen. It's the Beijing 2008 Olympic characters! I simply love them! :D

Friday 22 Aug 08

It seems to be a boring day, yet unforgettable one.

YH is coming back to Sg today. I'm glad we'd be able to meet up soon :)

We had a meeting on Monday with FD. A decision was made. On Friday, FD would break the news to GE to ask her to leave. GE is defensive at times and careless in her work, causing us annoyance. I was annoyed with her for submitting work with mistakes. She also couldn't be bothered to arrange the supporting documents in sequence before submitting to me for checking. I had to remove the staple and re-arrange the supporting documents myself. This wasted some of my time. I reprimanded her for two days due to her sloppy work. However, she seemed to have put in effort on the past two days. I felt rather bad that we have to ask her to leave but since she couldn't get along with most of the colleagues, it's pointless to have her to stay.

There is fireworks tonight. I wanted to go and watch but couldn't find anyone to go with me. Whenever I want to ask someone out, it's forever so difficult. Everyone is just SO BUSY to spare me a little of their time. No time for lunch, no time for this and that. Seems that I've the most time and am the most free.

I don't need to be kept in KIV list when going out with you all. I'm a human being and I've feelings. I'm not a spare tyre who will go out with you all when your priority is not free to accompany you!

I just want to vanish in their world. Take that we've never known each other before. I'm upset that these people treat me like this. I'm sick and tired of such treatment.

I called to make appointment for the manicure and pedicure treatment. The lady promised to call me back shortly. However, she called back only 1 hour later to confirm with me that they have no free slots for this evening and suggested that I make an appointment with them tomorrow. I declined. Who would be so free to go down to town for manicure and pedicure? And she promised to call back shortly but it took her 1 hour to return my call. I supposed she's not interested in doing my business.

I headed home, watched Olympic Games. Now waiting for YH to reach Sg. Feeling so down and upset now. There's no one called FRIEND. Since I'm just a spare tyre, I'd make sure I'd just disappear. There is no need to keep in contact anymore.

Poem

Once a lifetime, once a dream.

Dream of you, dream of me.

Dream of days, of you and me.

It came once, and now it's gone.

Dream I wish, will you come again?

Poem

Each day pass by like breeze
but each thought of you remains.

Each thought reminds me of you

but each memory brings bitterness.

Because each thought is joy

but bitter are the days without you.

Let my bitter days be sweetened by that sweetest presence of you, I wish.

Sheridan's

I tried this liquor. I only poured a bit, just enough to cover the base of my mug. Hehe... becos I've allergy to alcoholic drinks, so cannot take too much. It tastes really nice! :D

Poem

People says loving you is an err,
I say loving you is a joy.

Though loving you is pain,
but no gain without pain.

Agony being without you is great,
hope of the future lifts me up again.

Never hope for a great future,
but just days of you and me.

Poem

Knowing you is a coincidence
but loving you is my choice.

Knowing you seems easy
but loving you is a process.

Never will I let thoughts of you ever slip off my mind
because you really matters to my heart.

No matter what happens in future,
cherish what is now as memory for the future.

Poem

Keep your lovely face ever before me,

that never fail to bring out a smile.

Let your cheery heart always surround mine,

that brightens mine from the very inside.

Show me your comforting embrace,

that warms my being wonderfully.

And stay every so close to me,

that I may know you are there for me.

Poem

Knowing you is a fate.

Liking you is a great.

Loving you is a joy.

Missing you is a pain.

Losing you is nothing but agony!

If time can reverse,
let it stop at where like meets love.

Poem

In a moment of time,
images of you slip in.

Images of you form,
beautifully in my mind.

No matter how hard I try,
images of you never leave.

Truly you are someone,
special in the core of me.

Poem

Each day a thought comes,
thought of your lovely face.

Each day a desire comes,
desire to have more of you.

Each day a hope comes,
hope that you will be mine.

But when hope is gone,
desire goes too.

All that is left behind is a lingering thought of how lovely you are to me,
a thought that keeps me alive.

My New Friend!

I've been playing this online game called Viwawa. One day, I was playing with this player. I thought the nickname seems like a guy's. So I confirm with the player but she told me she's female!!! A bit disappointed though ... hahaha.. cos I thought I might get to know new guy friend from Viwawa :P

She seems a nice girl. We have a lot to chat with and we seem to clique very well with each other. We can MSN for many hours per day. But hey! I'm straight and she's straight too! Kekeke.. in case people might think we are lesbian lovers, better get this clear here.

She's now outstation in Xiamen and would be back next week, I suppose. Oh ya.. this is the hotel she's staying put now. Looks very nice wor... http://www.xmmandarin.com/360/hy1.htm

We are planning to meet up when she's back in SG. She loves Japanese food and I like the one that I went with TLY the day before. There is also this Waraku Japanese Restaurant at Marina Square too. Perhaps we can go there when we meet up. :)

Enjoyable Night

Yesterday Mum didn't cook dinner, so I went out with Joanne to have our dinner at Marina Square. We went to Azabu Sabo at level 1. Joanne and I ordered curry rice. The curry was nice and I'd give it an 8 out of 10. I also ordered dessert - Green Tea Ice Cream in a Bowl of Dumplings & Red Bean Paste.

After dinner, we went to shop around. Then we saw Kareen's sms. She was at Paulaner Brauhaus. We went over to join her. We had a wonderful time there as she was actually with her colleagues who were having a farewell gathering for her business associate. We had so much fun talking :)

There goes our $8 million Toto..

The $8 million TOTO results were out last night. My colleagues and I have pooled to buy TOTO. However, we didn't strike any rows despite having invested at $10 per pax. So disappointing... need to go back to work on Monday again... :(

:P

Embarrassed Moments

Today someone called to look for my Finance Director while he was not in his office. I took down a note and got him to return the call when he got back his office. I went into his office to pass him the caller's contact number. When I was about to come out from his office, my shoe flew off from my foot! >.<

It was so embarrassing. In my heart, I was thinking "Oh shit! -.-" "

I held on to the side of the door and quickly flipped my shoe over with my toes and wore back my shoe. It was such a funny scene. I'm not sure if my FD saw my shoe dropped. I pretended to look calm and acted cool while I retrieved my shoe, then walked back to my seat as if nothing had happened. :P

If my director had seen what had happened, he'd probably shook his head and slapped his forehead, thinking "This girl huh... -.-" "

Whahaha... :P

Still Sick.... (Part 2)

I went to see doctor on Tuesday night as I couldn't see clearly. My visoin was blur and there were discharges from my eye. I was so worried and quickly went to the 24 Hrs Clinic at CCK Central.

The doctor diagnosed that it was eye irritation due to contact lens. I had doubts about it. However, I sent my contact lens for servicing to play safe.

I still don't get well and decided to go to the Chinese Sinseh this morning. The doctor felt my pulse and after some time, told me that my liver is too heaty and that's why it affects my eye vision. I've taken the medicine that he had prescribed and I feel much better now.

I informed my colleagues that I'd be late for work today as I had to go for consultation. They were fine with it and told me that I can take time off. My current company is not so particular with staff reporting for work on time. As long as there's valid reason and not too late, the management is fine with it.

I am glad that I'm able to claim the medical fees that I've incurred for the past week. I went for 3 consultations and spent S$99! However, I only claimed S$79 which I went to GP. Hopefully I'd get well soon after taking the medicine prescribed by the Chinese Sinseh. Being sick for almost two weeks isn't good at all...

Still Sick....

I went to see doctor last Wednesday. Today is Monday, but I'm still sick! It's been six days already. My cough is getting worse, and my flu is starting. I sound so fluey now. Gosh... some guy friends still tease that I should sound quite sexy now... Duhz...

I've Fallen Sick!

Ya, I'm suspected of getting viral infection. I felt unwell in the afternoon while Pris and I were at the seminar at DBS auditorium. I felt cold and was shivering. After the seminar, I went back office and asked for a panadol from my Accounts Executive.

Today's tuition class was cancelled as my fever went up to 38.5 degrees when I went home to take my temperature. I quickly went to the family clinic to see a doctor. I am given a day's sick leave for tomorrow. I know I shouldn't be taking medical leave during probation but the probation period is six months long and it's not easy not to fall sick within these 6 months. This is in fact the first time I take medical leave during probation and this is my third job.

I do worry how the other colleagues would see me as I haven't joined for a month and I'm already down with medical leave. Luckily both other Accountants are understanding and asked me to rest well at home. :)

Poem

Love is like candles, brings light to lives

Love is like flowers, speaks sunshine to lives

Love is like bus, people come and go

Love is like time, every second counts

Love is like seasons, each a unique flavour

Extracts from Wu Dan Ru's Journal (9)

对女人大方是绝招

一个男人如果愿意大方，他必然能够赢得女人心。很多骗色之徒，都已经懂得这个技巧。

以前的女人比较容易被“迷信”所骗，只要扯到骗财骗色，常与神棍有关。只要说，你背后有婴灵，或不改运的话全家会倒楣、不斩桃花感情会不顺……女人多半会姑且听之，意志消沉的就会上当。

从现在的感情诈骗案看来，很多年轻的网络骗子，似乎都研究过女性心理学:不管时代怎么变化，女人都容易被男人的慷慨所打动。如果男人长得又不差，她很容易觉得在爱情路上中了大奖，理智就全会被编织未来幸福梦想的冲动所取代。

男人常说:“女人最好骗。”女人哪里好骗?通常为了漂亮，为了感情。而女人是懂得感激与报恩的动物，只要她有一点喜欢你，而你对她先施一点小惠，她常会以为，自己是进了皇宫、即将遇到王子的灰姑娘。

New Job, New Environment

I've left STT for 2 weeks and proceed on with my career of a greater height in an MNC company.

I would say the environment and culture of the new company is somewhere in between my first and second jobs.

First job environment was a very disciplined one. Everyone was focusing on doing their work.

Second job environment was a very carefree and hilarious one.

I'm coping fine and well in current company. The only thing I dread is doing the management reports which are so tedious and time consuming. The accounting software isn't really user-friendly and information needs to be extracted from many sources before the reports can be done. However, the company is looking into the problem and thinking of how to improve the current situation.

I find myself no longer late for work... hehe.. maybe it's due to a change in the environment. In fact, I reach office before 9am! :P

I am actually quite lucky with my jobs as I get to use brand new computers when I joined those companies. The same goes for this company. They bought a new desktop computer for me even before I started work :)

Yesterday was STT quarterly company gathering and my ex boss invited me to the BBQ on my last day with them. I do miss some of the ex colleagues. My new colleagues and I usually go to Maxwell Food Centre and Chinatown Food Centre for lunch. Whenever I pass by near to STT office, I would have this longing feeling of bumping into them. I guess these 3 years and 10 months in STT have given me a lot of memories.

It was nice to have met up with Sam, Uncle, Shermaine, Jason and the rest. Everyone enjoyed themselves at the BBQ. It was indeed an enjoyable time with them too! :)

Kungfu Panda!

HP and I went to watch Kungfu Panda on Sunday. I think it was more of a lame show, though some parts of it was quite amusing.

Poem

Each day passes by like wind,
but each thought of you stays on.

Each day speaks of new changes,
but each thought of you never change.

Each day gives way for new thing,
but each thought of you is always new.

If thoughts of you evolve from love,

let hope of having you evolve from each day.

Poem

Morning breeze is a sign, sign of a brand new day.

Evening ray is a sign, sign of an end to day.

Between them is life of thoughts, thoughts of you which fills my day.

Every thoughts never fail to bring, bring tears of longing just for you.

鄭欣宜 - 真的愛你

在我生命中的每一天

千万别像男人的老妈

每个女人都怕男人说她像自己的妈。而每个男人也都很害怕: 情人越来越像老妈。据我观察，男人会觉得情人越来越像妈，并不是她变得唠叨，关键在于: 他很不舒服，或他情绪上需要安慰时，她就像一个老妈对待成年的儿子一样，只出嘴不出手，用话语让他的情绪雪上加霜。在他很累时，还要教训他，说一大堆话疲劳轰炸。

如果对话能改得温暖而充满关切一些。或许或许她就不会让他感觉像他的妈了。

“还没吃饭吗?我帮你弄点东西吃好吗?”

“感冒了吗？好可怜，我帮你拿药好吗?”

“好要工作啊?我真舍不得你这么辛苦。”

同样的意思，但听者感受差很多。

Missing Someone You Love

Each day I yearn for you, every day every night.

Living a life without you, what will it be all about?

Each day when I think of you, all I wish is glimpse of you.

Not knowing when will I see you, a life will just be one of pain.

What Are Kisses About?

Awake from sleep every morning, your lovely face is all I see.

Lying sweetly besides me, heart within yearns more of you.

As your eyes gently open up, what greets is a lovely kiss.

When my lips start to meet yours, what a heavenly exchange?

A Poem About Love

Distance between us though short, but your presence seems so far.

Your life may not shine for everyone, but it definitely lights my heart.

What you had done may seemed trivial, is a spark that set me on fire.

What you had said may seemed usual, are actions that melt my very being.

Nothing you had done, will make me close the door.

For the door to my heart is not close, always open awaiting for you.

If life is all about love, let me be your life.

一起终生为爱沉沦

如果没有一些共通兴趣， 感情很难走得久远。 天宽地阔， 两个人会在一起， 总有一些“合拍”的地方。

感情影响一个人实在深远。虽然说，现代人的命运都是自己决定的，但人在无意之间，选择的情人往往影响之后的命运。

他是黑的，你白不了。

他是倒楣的，你发不了。

他想要向下沉沦，你向上不了。

一个好情人让你的眼界变大，越活心胸越开阔；坏情人使你心胸狭窄，一起沉沦，还不知大好时光已经悄然远走，只见岁月的嘲笑。

Happy Birthday To Me~

Today is my birthday.

Yesterday, HPF asked me to meet her after work as she wanted to pass me something. Then we arranged TLY to come down to meet us too.

After that, TLY and I went to Gloria Jeans for some snacks and coffee. Then we headed to the PartyWorld at Shenton Way for KTV session which we have not had for a long time. We were not in the mood to sing. Not sure why, maybe too long never sing together. I ordered Shirley Temple and peppermint green tea while singing.

By the time I reached home, my stomach was feeling unwell. I ran to toilet and had diarrhea, passing out all the fluid. Luckily I felt slightly better after that.

What a way to pass my birthday -.-"

非凡人生

平凡的人想过不平凡的生活，不平凡的人却向往平凡人的安宁。

人因为得不到想拥有而难过，一旦得到了想要的，又有新的麻烦和困扰。这不是自相矛盾吗?

人人都想要有非凡的人生。究竟非凡人生是什么呢? 静下心来想一想，心灵的愉悦才是非凡人生。

世俗之人普遍把有成就，辉煌腾达视为非凡人生， 所以人人在求。然而， 这些所谓非凡的人也付出了代价；泡一壶好茶、 下一盘棋、听一首悠美的乐曲， 对于所谓非凡的人似乎是一种奢求。 整天追着名利， 哪有时间停下来喘一口气， 等到有一天支撑不住， 就是累倒的时候。

有人认为，努力就可以得到自己想要的。努力本身没有错，但努力不一定能得到自己所要的。 得不到的时候，不必过于自责、 难过。 别人享受荣华富贵， 我可以享受悠游自在的乐趣。 谁也不输谁。 你得到物质的富足， 但我得到的是心灵的丰盛。 一样都是富足， 只看你的心如何去面对周遭的环境， 调适自己的生活。

在平凡中有别人所没有的不平凡心境， 那就是非凡人生!

Attention Seeker?!

Everyone is an attention seeker. Everyone needs attention. It only depends on how much one seeks for attention. Who does he/she seek from? Where does he/she seek from?

One may look very popular and claims that others are jealous of him/her, therefore dislike them. For he/she doesn't know that others dislike them not because of jealousy, but because they are really detestable.

开车门对女人很重要

女人会责怪男人追求她时和追到手后差很多，都是由小的地方判读的。有不少事情与开车有关。比如：开车门、接送、是否送到门口还是在对街，下雨天是否愿意从驾驶座走出来为她撑把伞等，就算原意接送她，答应的语气和速度快慢与否，差一点就差很多。

女人在男人追求她时，若曾经感动于他在小地方的用心，就更不能容忍他变得健忘的事实。然而，在小处永远不变，对男人而言是苛求。能够在这些小细节上一点也没变的，应该算是情圣了。就算是情圣，也很少能对一个女人这么细细伺候一辈子!

Finally ...

Ya... Jimmy is finally back! Hee... I think Meimei will be very happy if she knows Jimmy has appeared. But better don't tell her first, else she'll be calling me every now and then. I'm a little afraid of private number calls now. Now that Jimmy is back, I've one more advisor for opinions =)

Have a decision to make soon le. SIgh... quite a tough one. Think I'll probably just forgo bah. I still have time ... :)

当女人像千手观音

一个人再有能力，身心负荷都有限，不能无限运用。在我的观察中，事业成功的女人和男人有个最大的不同，就是: 男人会越管越少，女人越管越多。男人事业繁忙，人家都要他以事业为主，哪里敢拿小事烦他，总有人在背后收拾善后。女人事业成功后，亲人们反而会觉得:你连大事都可以做了，小事哪里烦得倒你? 这点小事不帮，就太无情了。她若本有管家婆个性，也会越管越多。把许多事都揽在自己身上。

难怪，抱怨“蜡烛两头烧”的，大多是女人。

Really Broke!!

This week's expenditure is so high... Got my mobile phone replaced. It cost me $268 as my contract has not ended. Then Karen's father just passed away. We also gave some token on the demise of her father. I didn't go to her father's wake as I had to attend my Primary Schoolmate's baby's full month celebration. I bought a little gift for her baby girl.

I thought of having a haircut today at the neighbourhood hair salon. The hair stylist recommended me to do hair treatment as my hair was rather dry. I thought neighbourhood hair salon charges won't be too high. I only expected it to be like $30+ for hair treatment. When all was done, I saw the boss entered $95 into the cash register. I was stunned! It showed on the price board that haircut is only $12. I asked the boss how much was the hair treatment. He said it was $80, which was one of the better hair treatment levels in the range. Piangz... I could have gone to more reputable hair salons lor. However, my friend said the products that the salon used is not too bad -- GoldWell. It's about that price in any other salons.

Sigh... really spent a lot this one week. Luckily nobody is getting married yet. Else have to give another big ang bao liao. >.<

幸福都在记忆里

成功显达的人常说:最怀念的是那段穷日子。不管是否功成名就，不少“现在的日子过得比以前好”的人，怀想起往日，都有一种甜蜜的滋味。

记忆总会将事实裹上蜜糖的外衣，如果我们随着岁月逐渐明白人间温暖，在命运对我们越来越宽容的过程中，也学会以越来越宽容的眼光看待命运。

这是“人生胜利者”的感伤。事实上，如果过去的穷困一直逗留在人生中，直到中年老年，恐怕自己更加痛苦空虚。只因他们有了成就，才会发现，原来幸福藏在那个曾经艰苦卓绝的过去里。

只有得到过，才知挣扎的美好。只有失去，才明白曾经拥有的可贵。

To Promote His Professionalism At The Expense of My Own Safety?

I saw a tuition assignment at some online website. It's a tuition assignment to a Sec 3 Express student in Marsiling for Accounting subject. The commission is only at 30% when the norm is usually 50%. Hence, I smsed to a number stated in the website to let them know that I am interested in the assignment.

In the evening, the agent called to ask if the student can come to my house for tuition lesson. I told the agent that it's not convenient to have tuition at my house. Then he said the student's brother suggested that I conduct the lesson at MacDonald's. I told him it's not possible as there'll be a lot of distractions at Mac. Agent said I can also conduct at library. I told him we can't even talk much in library, how to conduct lesson there? The agent even suggested we have the tuition at void deck!

Then I told the agent that I would forgo the assignment since it's so inconvenient. I asked the agent if the student's place was near the MRT station but he didn't answer my question.

A while later, the agent smsed me again if I would still be keen if the parents allow me to go over to their house for tuition. I replied him it's alright, I'd prefer female students and I thanked him.

He replied again, telling me to reconsider as he had already spoken to the parents upon my request and it's not professional for him to tell the parents that I can't make it now.

I've been taking tuition assignments for the past 10 years. It's the first time I come across this kind of agent. I felt like replying him if it's professional for him to insist a tutor to get an assignment when she's not comfortable with the student? OR would it be professional if the tutor taught for one month and quit the assignment?

This assignment is just so fishy. Why should I promote his professionalism at the expense of my own safety? I didn't agree to take up the assignment in the first place. He could have used his professionalism to tell the parents that he'll get other tutors in a tactful way. Most likely is that they don't have resources to take up that particular assignment. Given such weird requests, who would still want to take the assignment? Duhz...

My Mobile Phone Is Lost!!

I went to toilet before I left office and had my things all packed on my desk. After that I left office with my HR and assistant.

When I reached the bus-stop at People's Park Centre, I wanted to take out my mobile phone to listen to the radio. However, I couldn't find my mobile phone. I thought I might have left it in the office, so I thought I might just go back to office tomorrow to retrieve it since I'm working tomorrow. I was too tired to walk back to office as we also had our lunch at the S11 coffee shop behind OG at noon and we walked back to office!

When I reached home, I sent a message via MSN to my Customer Service Officer who was on duty to help me check if my mobile phone was on my desk. She couldn't find my mobile phone either. Then I tried to call my mobile phone and found that it was turned off. That's it liao... Most likely, it's lost as it can't be my mobile phone is out of battery as I still had it charged last night.

I've already called the Service Provider to suspend my line. Now have to spend money to get a new mobile phone. The most heart aching thing is I lost the 2GB memory card that Uncle bought for me as my birthday gift last year. I feel so guilty that I've lost the mobile phone.

I hope whoever found my mobile phone will return to me soon.

Clarified Things

Previous blog deleted. Things clarified. But I'm not regretful cos I'm moving on to a greater height. :)

Feeling More Peaceful and Calmed

After a night's sleep, I feel so much refreshed and I feel more peaceful now after having done what I've been wanting to do :)

Let the others accuse what they want to as my conscience is clear. I didn't do anything to hurt other people. Anyway, I won't be able to see those msn nicks at all! Ha Ha Ha! 采你都傻啦~

Okies... I'm getting ready for work as there's a meeting with OCBC Banker at 11am. See ya! :)

I have had enough!

I really have enough of everything. I dislike the workplace so much! This is the 6th time power trip again since we moved into office on 1 March 2008. On average, it's just power trip once a week. Interesting huh?

Things haven't been going smoothly at all. One of these days I might just do what I've been thinking of doing without giving any second thoughts. I'm really sick and tired. I wish to move on.

There has been no news of Jimmy yet. It's the fourth month he's been missing.

Jimmy, will you ever be back? When will you be back? We all miss you....

少奶奶不是命运是个性

如果你用别人的钱会不安，不是少奶奶的命。如果你觉得购物商场千篇一律，没耐心把同样的名牌一看再看，你也没有少奶奶的命。如果你对自己的人生很有意见，也不是少奶奶的命。当少奶奶没那么简单，要勇敢把命运全系在男人的肩膀，要恭恭顺顺对待公婆，乖乖巧巧扮演贤妻，还要无怨无悔的宽宏大量。

少奶奶当不当得，不是命运问题，而是个性问题，有些女人的个性，注定要当花木兰，在沙场上骁勇善战。

My Workstation

Ya... this is my workstation. As you can see, the space is so small. When I stand up, my chair will hit the wall-hung cabinet behind me. Whenever I want to open the cabinet, I've to push my chair out of my seat. Sigh... I'm really sick of going to work. How to work like this? The space so small... *Sianz...*

What Manager lah... PHUI!!! I think the Management just treat me as a clerk! >.<

I'm Late For Work!!

Yes.. I'm late for work today. All thanks to the guy who committed suicide at CCK MRT track at 8am. I got missed calls from Keat Hoon and saw her sms that the train from CCK to JE had broken down.

I panicked. I gave Keat Hoon a call. She said that when she was at Yew Tee MRT at 8am, she heard the announcement that the train to JE had broken down. The trains could only go via Marina Bay. The train breakdown would only resume 60 min later. At this time, if I were to take the train to Marina Bay, I'd definitely be late for work. Even the bus was already very crowded at my place even though it's the 4th bus stop from the interchange. Nevertheless, I still took bus to the interchange to try my luck. Perhaps the train would have resumed its journey.

When I reached interchange, to my horror, the interchange was very crowded. I quickly called my boss, he told me to either queue for the bus or take a cab. Take a cab?!!! Does he know how much it cost to take cab down to work? The previous time I took cab to Shenton Way already cost me $30! Kaoz...

Luckily Alan offered to pick me up at Tg Pagar MRT. I managed to reach office at 9.40am. However, boss came over to ask me if other than CCK MRT track is affected. Hey, come on lah.. the MRT track is a circuit system. One station jammed, the other stations are surely affected. He thought I want to eat his office time is it? Anyway if I wanna cheat his working hours, I could have gone for 1 hour lunch, and then spend another hour chit chatting in office (which is what I'm doing now :P)

Life is so bored in this job. I've to rush to work everyday, having to worry that being late for work will cause me a fine. We are in admin line leh. We can stay back if we are late for work, although I know that we shouldn't be late as we start work at 9.30am. But the thing is, does the management have to threaten us by deducting the fine from our salary? It's too ridiculous!

If I can find a suitable job, I'd have left this job with weird and idiotic management!

Look at the crowded at CCK Interchange this morning!

渴婚男仍然害怕渴婚女

自觉得条件不错的人都很挑。于是岁月蹉跎。虽然说是蹉跎，事实上， 生活在大都市里的单身贵族，只要对寂寞两字不敏感，又懂得调剂生活，也有一群和他一样自由自在的朋友的话，过得也还不错。婚姻或多或少会失去自由，所以更要审慎了。

“女人不应该一开口就说她想结婚，男人还是会因恐惧而失去他的正常欲望。”一开口说:我不想结婚，单身很不错，或许才是一个“引君入瓮”的好方法。自以为是的黄金单身汉，都有恐婚心理，都很循序渐进，不能第一步就被吓到了。

Hehehe...

I am on leave today. Alan and Melvin at first thought I was late and would be the first one to be fined. Then I still didn't turn up for work. They thought I so fast went on strike. They called and asked what happened to me.

Not bad mah... This shows that they do care for me Hehehe...

Frustrations...

I thought I could finally go for holiday with KH. Who knows she last minute decided not to go. Sigh... my last holiday outside Singapore was like 5 years ago! I wanna travel by plane! I miss taking flight.

Everyone seems to be real busy. Friends say will ask me to go holiday with them but they only know how to talk talk talk! They go without me! Wtf...

Yesterday's meeting, MD said to improve on the staff's punctuality, the management shall impose fines for those latecomers.

• Late for more than 10 min -- Fine $2
• Late for more than 15 min -- Fine $5
• Late for more than 3 times -- Warning letter
• Late for more than 5 times -- Disciplinary action

My brother asked what disciplinary action are they going to take? Wash the toilet? Since our office is now relocated to shophouse area and we have our own toilets.

Stupid policy right? MD wanted to deduct the fines from our pay. I told him then where am I suppose to take those penalties into my accounts if he includes the deduction in the payslip? Brainless fool!

Where got managerment want to deduct employees' pay? This policy was set to counter the HR lah... She's perpetually late. She was late for 1 hour last week! She reached office at 10.33am. Steady bom pi pi!!

This is threatening employees leh... Didn't they study Maslow's hierarchy theory? Employees come to work late becos they are not motivated to give any commitment to the company.

Why doesn't the management reward us $2 if we are 10 min earlier and $5 when we are 15 min earlier instead? Stupid fool... MD thinks we are working for factory ah? Or in a Primary School? He's so money face!! Even staff's money also want to greed.

The funniest part is he told us he was late once in March too. He also wants himself to be included in this dumb policy? It's really a laughing stock to go to MD and stretch out our hand to get him to pay his late penalty. Whahaha.. siao!

If MD late for more than 3 times, issue warning letter to him? If he's late for more than 5 times, impose disciplinary action on him? Duhz

Demise of Auntie Xiu Mei

Auntie Xiu Mei has left us. Today is the day that her body is cremated. She's only 48 years old. She's my ex-neighbour's brother's daughter-in-law. Her husband suddenly went missing many years back and she waited for 10 years before she declared her husband dead. Her husband was said to be seen in China. Nobody knows if he's really still alive. Sigh...

Auntie Xiu Mei was a fair lady. She had cancer. When I saw her some time back, I thought that her hair was pretty nice as the hair has nice curls and colour. Only then did I know that she had cancer and her hair was actually a wig.

Mom called me on Friday noon, telling me that Auntie Xiu Mei has passed away. I was shocked then as it's so sudden. Her illness was under control and she was recovering then. Now suddenly she just passed away. I heard from mom that the virus attacked again.

I think she's a capable and strong woman who raised two children up on her own, and having to fight against her own illness. Now that she has gone, leaving 2 teenage daughters. It's quite sad actually, to be orphans at such young age. Hope that she'll be happier in another world, and blessing her two children.

女人翻脸 天使变魔鬼

角色不同，态度就不同。刚谈恋爱时，谁不想把最温柔婉约的那一面端出来给情人看。

就算是情人，对象的不同，也会让一个女人判若两人。

女人也像海底乌贼，会随周遭环境，改变自己的颜色。这是一种无法分析与言喻的神秘学。

Re-Hi

It's been almost a month that I've not been blogging. Not really busy with life, just that I've no mood to blog and don't know what to blog. I didn't know there's actually friends who will bother to come to read this blog of mine. Anyway, it's just some thoughts that I have on everyday life.

I came across this in today's newspapers.

不爱的人走了还是会心痛

相处那么久，虽然不爱，也是一种习惯了放弃习惯， 必然失落。发现原本很爱自己的人，忽然转头就走，或投入别人怀抱，也一定会难过，谁没有比较心呢? 莫非新人比我好，更值得他爱?还是他嫌我哪里不好，只是一直不说?

宽宏大量的人，可以祝福久情人“希望他过得比我好”，却很难祝福“希望他爱她比爱我深”，前者只需仁慈，后者违背人性啊!

Two months...

JIMMY CHUA!!! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GONE TO?!!

He's not only failed to turn up to fetch me from exam hall, still MIA for two months already. You said you'll help me pray for me to pass the exams... have you done so?!! I've failed!! !%@#^Y!#@%$^$

How do you want me to trust you ever again?!!

Another failure!

Ya... today is the release of results. Keat Hoon, Serene and Anthony have passed their exams. Me? I failed again. This is time umpteenth time that I've failed the paper. What has gone wrong? Am I really that stupid? Why can't I just passed it?!! I'll just invite gossips from other people.

I don't like my life. I don't like what I'm doing now. Can I have a change? What will my future be like? I don't wish to be stuck at this course. I'd like to do something different and be able to move on. I'm really disheartened. I feel I'm such a failure. Others may deem that I'm a stupid person, still failing after so many attempts.

I'm just lost. Totally lost. I wish to quit this job and have a break and continue to move on with the next phase of life.

Rude Banker!!

I called up my Relationship Manager (RM) some time last year to request for a reduction in the merchant charges. She told me that she would assist me to find the person in charge. However, she did not revert to me after that. Hence, I got the contact of the person in charge from Melvin and decided to call him myself.

I heard from Melvin that this banker is a bit stuck up. I was a little afraid at first and called him very politely, requesting for a reduction in the rates. This banker, G, was so pretentious and talked very politely to me too. G agreed that he'll help us reduce the rates as I told him the last revision was done in year 2001.

Few days later, G called and told me that he'll email me the details. I waited for a week but have yet to receive his email. Therefore, I wrote him an email on Saturday and in the email, I wrote:

"Dear G

May I check with you on the status of my enquiry on the reduction of the rates which was about a week ago? I've been expecting your email which you said you would send to me.

Would you update me on the status please? Our merchant code is xxxxxxx."

This morning, I received his email which said:

"Hi Chui Ping

Sorry for not getting back to you. I did call few times at your desk but could not reach you.

We're happy to revise the rate to xx% for the terminal facilities.

Give me a call if you have any queries and I'll be very pleased to assist you."

After reading this, I felt that he was pushing the blame to me! He was the one who called me in the first place, telling me that he would send me an email. Even if he couldn't get me at my desk, which I doubt so as I'm in the office most of the time, he could have emailed me, which was what he told me he would earlier on! What kind of attitude is this? To think this bank is Singapore's longest established local bank, yet I get this kind of service from them. I'm the client, he should know how to word his email! Is this the way a banker should treat a female client? Not gentleman at all!

I replied his email with:

"Dear G

Thanks for your email...."

I wanted to add on "I couldn't reach you at your desk too, hence this email..." but Melvin told me to save my breath with this kind of person. However, I'm just pissed with his damn bloody poor attitude! I replied his email and cc it to my RM and also Jason and explained to him the whole story. Luckily Jason sided with me and commented that some bankers forever need people to chase after them. He even gave me the namecard of RM's boss and told me to cc to him if needed. =D

I'm glad Jason is understanding in this issue =D
