No More Nuaing...

Rose’s boss is coming back tomorrow. It’s the time that Rose’s friends will see the ‘Busy’ icon on her MSN everyday from next Monday till the day her boss goes back to where she was.

Just got an email from HR that Oct 23 will be off-in-lieu, as Deepavali falls on a Saturday this year. Whooppee! No need to take leave for my Phuket trip! This is Rose’s first beach resort holiday. Don’t laugh ok! Yes, I have not been to any beach resort in the many decades I have been on this earth. Sounds very sua-ku, I know, but then, Rose is not a person who likes the scotching sun to shine on her quite-fair skin for too long a period of time. So it is not very surprising that Rose has not been to any beach resort mah. Even in Sentosa, Rose hides in the shade most of the time while her super-hyper ST dashes madly all over the beach. So what does Rose want to do in Phuket, if she doesn’t like the sun??? Erm… Lemme think… Rose will still go under the scotching sun for a while, maybe 15minutes? Hahahaha. Then ill probably spent the rest of the time running after her super hyper nephews and niece. Yes, that’s her mission for the trip! Babysitting! Well, its ok. Me and 2nd sis have been preparing ourselves mentally that this is not a have-fun-snorkelling-island-hopping-suntanning trip. At most it will be a eat-and-relax-and run-after-screaming-kids trip. I am sure we can still have fun. Afterall, this is our first almost family trip. Bro cannot make it this time, so it is still not a complete family thingy.

Yesterday was a pre-birthday celebration for 2nd sis. We had a simple dinner nearby our house. Elfie gave that sad puppy look when we were about to leave the house, so we decided to bring him along. With Elfie, we did not have many choices for dinner venue, so we ended up at the coffee shop eating zi char. We ordered Marmite ribs, Sam-wong spinach (spinach cooked with egg, salted egg, and century egg soup), signature toufu dish for the stall, claypot seafood, and Bro added a sweet sour fish cos he felt there wasn’t enough to eat. The food was not too bad. But I was slightly distracted by this half drunk man sitting behind me. He came slightly after we did. And chose to sit at the table behind us, cos I think he wanted to see my cute Elfie. Then he sneezed with a loud ‘Chooooo!’. Now, Elfie has a funny habit. Whenever someone in the family cough or sneeze, he will run to the person and give him/her the why-are-you-making-such-a-funny-noise look, and are-you-ok look. All the time without fail, when he hears a sneeze. So when this half drunk man behind me sneezed, he got Elfie’s full attention. And in order to get Elfie to focus on him, he kept ‘Choooo’ing all the way throughout our entire dinner. I was thinking ‘what the hell this man thinks he is doing’, trying to get the attention of……….. a dog??? 2nd sis was facing th man, so she mouthed the words ‘He is trying to attract Elfie’s attention’ to me. I gave her that ‘WHAT!!!’ look. But I did not turn back to glare at the man, bcos you never know what half drunk man can do. So we all quickly finished off our dinner, and went off hurriedly.

Bro paid for the dinner first. I wanted to pay him back my share (Supposed to be a treat from him and me to 2nd sis), so I asked Mum to ask him how much. Mum looked at me and said ‘How come you cannot ask him yourself? He is just in his room. Our house not very big what.’ I looked at her and said ‘You ask la’. She shook her head ‘You 2 enemies ah?’ I just smiled.

No, we are not enemies. Just some childhood feud. Somehow, me and Bro have not spoken to each other since… Primary school days? I have no recollection what happened. It just transited from me bringing him to and from school to we not talking to each other. But then, when it is time to talk, we still do. Like when Pa was sick, we did talk and communicated very well. But things will soon go back to normal (normal being, we don’t talk). Really, I think I talk more to his girlfriend this past year than I talk to him in the past 20 years. Maybe this is our own way of bonding? Hahahaha

Ok, its time for Rose to switch from “Nua’ mode to “On’ mode. Do not panic if you do not see Rose posting twice or thrice a day, or maybe not even once, during this period. She is still alive, just no time or too tired to post. She will be back!

Rose Rose Rose

Rose needs something or someone to spice up her life. Rose feels bored everyday!!! Nothing else better to do than to go read other people’s blogs everyday till there is nothing left to read, and Rose has to beg them to update their blogs. Pathetic Rose.

Matchmaking

Rose is very excited, bcos she had just bought her first box of meal replacement! Ok, yes I know this doesn’t sound very exciting to most people, but bcos Rose is determined to slim down, she made up her mind to go on a diet soon. And drag Bubbles to suffer with her hahahahah. After work, we went down to the Guardian pharmacy just below our office to check out the brand. I had wanted to try Cambridge Diet, but strangely, that Guardian doesn’t carry any… We saw Xando instead. There are 2 different kinds – one that resembles milkshake, but to be consumed warm, which Bubbles and I felt weird; and the soup kind. We bought the soup pack, which we felt was not too expensive – 7 packs for $34.

Rose met mum for dinner at the central yesterday. Mum wanted to get some pants to wear at home. Rose wanted to check out GNC for meal replacements. I had fish soup bee hoon. Disciplined right? Then we walked past Guardian pharmacy, Rose decided to check if there were any Cambridge there. And there is! Each box consists of 21 packs of milkshakes with different flavours – Cuppacino, Vanilla, Banana (yucks!), Strawberry, Chocolate, Butterscotch, plus there were 4 packs of FOC Chocolate Mint and Fruit. All for $108. Quite ok la hor?
Mum went on to choose her pants at the shop next door. Rose was browsing through the merchandise when she saw these cute little boy cut panties. Only for $1.90! BUT… they are all FREE SIZE. How can panties be free size? How can they expect butts of all sizes to fit into panties of only one size?? In any case, Rose wanted to buy them bcos they looked cute. She is going on diet what, right? So one day she will be able to fit her fat-but-going-to-slim-down-soon-butt into those cute little panties.

Oh, Rose registered herself in this online-dating web. Yes, I know. Call me desperate. I am lor! Checked out some profiles of the men with Bubbles in the office yesterday. Bubbles seemed to always be able to ‘see’ people’ quite well, so Rose trust her judgment. Bubbles went ‘this one not bad’, this one looks fit’, ‘this one very machi with you leh!’. So, should I send them messages? Well…. Bubbles typed one for me and said if I felt comfortable then send lor. Hack la. Send first then got reply then say la hahaha.

Today this very tall guy (186 wor) sent me a message. So I replied lor. Then we chatted a while on MSN. Not bad wor. He is an internal auditor (with KPMG if I am not wrong), and travels frequently for work, which is also why his ex dumped him (according to him la). Well, lets see if we have this Yuan and the Fen la. If not, just make another friend lor. No harm right?

Wanna See My Pic?

Bubbles say this foto of me is cute, so I post it here hahahahaha!

Lazy Weekend

The weekend was one of lazing around and surfing the net. Saturday morning was spent on Sentosa. Actually only 1 hour la… Cos my hyper dog ran and ran till he was tired for the 1st 15min and he spent the other 45 min checking out GRs and lying on the sand. Me and my sis, not wanting to go into the waters or suntan, decided to bring him home.

On the way to Sentosa

Some company's family day. See the Wonder Woman? There was a Batman too! Elfie resting

It was an early barkday celebration for Elfie. I bought him a Strawberry Cream Cheese cake and an assortment of cookies from USDB. We did the usual sing-song-cut-cake thingy. Elfie was curious about the cake and kept sniffing at it, almost burning his nose doing it hahahaha. My mum was skeptical about eating the cake at first, but I managed to persuade to try it. Afterall, every ingredient is still, edible by human mah. Only thing was, it is much more bland than human cake, cos dogs aren’t allowed sugar. The smell of the cheese was rather overwhelming though… Overall, OOOOOK la…

Elfie's Strawberry Cream Cheese Cake!

Elfie checking his cake

Sunday was spent snoozing, VCD watching, and more snoozing. Typical lazy Sunday. Bubbles had lent me a couple of DVDs lately. I had borrowed from her to keep my mum entertained over the weekend I was in KL, BUT… the absent-minded-mind-only-in-KL me left them in the office…. So she only watched it after I came back. Mum had become smitten with Rain, the now popular Korean artiste. She had finished the series before me, and she watches it again every Sunday night on cable. I also bought another Taiwanese series, Bumped Off Lover, by Angela Zhang. Quite good. Abit draggy and boring in the beginning, but once the mystery started, it makes you want to keep watching. I had read a little about the storyline before, and was sort of anticipating what was going to happen next. I kept thinking, When is she going to die man… Its getting boring! Am I sadist?

Godma Irene baked Elfie a meatloaf and specially delivered it to my house. So sweet of her right? She even cut some carrots in the letters of Elfie’s name and arranged them nicely on the meatloaf. She really 有心.

Mum was craving for KFC. We wanted order for dinner last night. But when I called 62353535, the recorded message said : Thank you for calling KFC and Pizzahut. Sorry, all our operators are busy at the moment. Your call will be attended to in approximately 7 minutes. 7 minutes? Since when do people need to wait for 7 minutes to place an order for KFC or Pizzahut?? Ok, nevermind, my mum craving, so I WAIT. When I finally heard an live person saying something, I just said : I want to order KFC. And the gal made me more fed up by saying: Sorry, ma’am, due to overwhelming response, KFC is not delivering at this moment. We can take your order and you can collect at your nearest outlet, which is….. Bukit Merah. What the…. I told her no, and hung up. Ok… Its hereditary, me and mum are both too lazy to walk over to the central to buy or collect. So we both just settled for chai-bng downstairs.

Bubbles logged in to MSN at night. She was supposed to work, but had no mood to, so we started chatting. I told her I was getting desperate, how come got man go after her in batches, I don’t have?? I am not that bad what, right? Then she laughed and said I have built a wall around myself. Really? Maybe. ‘Bad experience’ I told her. Well, in an attempt to get more man to come after me. I decided that I should dress up more, make up more, and slim down more. Bubbles asked me what I am wearing on Friday (Oh we are celebrating her birthday + Gangster’s holiday back here + Gangster’s promotion + JB-ren’s promotion all together). I told her probably jeans and a top I feel beautiful in. Why the fuss? Bcos we are going to party again, after a long few years’ break! And to attract men, of cos must wear nice nice la.

Last Friday, I met up Ms HP and Teacher for dinner. We went to this Italian restaurant called Amxxx at HV. The ambience was quite good – quite cosy and romantic. The only minus points were the size of the restaurant and the smell. The whole place is quite small, so there is only a narrow walkway left for the waiters to walk around, quite squeezy. And the kitchen is not covered, so can imagine the smell that will linger on our hair, clothes body when we leave the place.

During dinner, I suddenly popped a question that startled Ms HP and Teacher. We were all trying to enjoy the meal when I just turned and asked HP: Ei, you got bf or not? She opened her eyes big big and say : NOooooooooooo. Teacher was laughing her head off. I quickly eaplained that the questioned was a prelude to my coming proposal: Join a matchmaking agency. I read from FP that there is one at Peace Center quite strict in their ‘selection’. But still, I quite shy to go alone lor… So hoping that HP can go with me. But she doesn’t seem to be kan chiong at all. Cool… Maybe I more deperate than her ba hahhhahaha…

Inefficient

I have been slacking in the office. Kept myself busy surfing FP and reading blogs. Blogs I have been following:

http://verypoisonouslady.blogspot.com/ this gal is quite lian, but I like to read her blog
http://estherthegorgeous.blogspot.com/ this gal quite swee, now she seldom update liao
http://kissesfrombeigirl.blogspot.com/ this gal always travel and can get quite good travel tips from her blog
http://intoxicated-michelle.blogspot.com/ this mei-mei quite pretty
http://prettybabe-me.blogspot.com/ this gal is the famous tammi (hp video saga lead) hear her swear!
http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/ er… this one no need to intro rite…


I haven finished reading almost all these people’s entries, now I am clicking on the links in their blogs to other people’s blogs. Hahahah, that’s how bo liao I am. I started reading this:

http://www.limbueytor.com

I found him so funny that I intro him to Bubbles. Bubbles, entertaining right?

From his blog, we gathered that he is a rich man’s son, staying in a bungalow in Tanah Merah with a pool and backyard. He is damn skinny, and is currently going after this gal who blows hot and cold. Well, I don’t really care, as long as he keeps me entertained hahaha.

When I was enjoying his blog halfway, my boss called. She wanted this CDP Account number. Not being someone interested in stocks and shares, me have no idea what it is lor. And I flipped frantically through her personal file, where she said it can be found, no have lor. Being a typically impatient female boss, she started sounding irritated. So I said I will look through the file and call her back. Flip flip flip flip. DON’T HAVE!!! I thought of calling Secreteriat, no, I actually called. The gal said it is personal and she doesn’t have it. Maybe I can try calling SGX and check. But then, such personal info, I am sure SGX will not disclose through the phone right…. Then I thought of HR. Bcos have to submit the form to HR mah. The I turned my head. That area is pitch dark. I looked at my watch. Its only 4.10pm. All gone off already???? Shit! Now who can I ask? I ran back to the room, and searched for anything remotely related to shares/stocks. I took out this file randomly and flipped flipped fliiped. AHHHHHHH…. There it is! How lucky can I get???

I happily called my boss back. And she said ‘You so slow. I got it already.’ What the…. It was barely 10minutes after I said I will call her back, and not knowing what or where to look, I think I quite good already what, no?? Well, maybe lor. *Shrug*

Burst..

Latest Update... I did not strike Toto yesterday.... *lagi sulky face*

Fate..

Here are some pics of the Summerhouse Doughnuts I bought yesterday.

I find them so-so only. Not very fantastic. Disappointed…. *Sulky face*

Me and my sis bringing Elfie to Sentosa tomorrow to celebrate his one-year-old birthday. Actual day is Monday la, but I want to let him run abit. He loves to dash around on the sands. But he HATES the water! After the first time I threw him in, he refused to step in anymore! Hahahaha…

At times, I feel that Elfie is a blessing to me. Bcos he is a good companion when I feel lonely, and there is no one I can talk to. At times, I feel guilty that I cannot spend more time with him.

I realize that I have few friends. Hi-bye friends, plenty. But there are times when I wanted to find someone for dinner, and there is none. I can scroll down my phone list, and despite having few hundreds of names in there, there is no one I can ask for a dinner date. That is after screening away those that I am avoiding, those that are avoiding me (hahaha), those that are out of town, those that are in town but I don’t wish to meet, those that are in town but don’t wish to meet me, those marries/attached ones la. Am I fussy or what??

Well, according to superfate (forwarded by Bubbles):

在人生的旅程中，您的戀愛或結婚對象很有可能是先經由親友介紹或相親而認識，因為您對於愛情比較不太有經驗，也不善於包裝自己、行銷自己，有時更怯於表達自己的感情，碰到喜歡的人也多半停留在欣賞的階段，不僅不容易給對方一點暗示，更不會表白或倒追，因此不僅錯失許多機會，更在心中產生既期待又怕受傷害的感覺，反而更不容易擦出愛的火花。您若是對象還沒有出現，不要心急，在您身邊確定有人正喜歡著您，只要您真心誠意給對方一點暗示，幸福就在您身邊。

To translate, my marriage partner is likely to be introduced by friends or relatives, or by matchmaking (*roll eyes*), bcos I have little experience in relationships (??), and I am not good at packaging myself or ‘selling’ myself (okkkkkkkkk), and sometimes am afraid of expressing my feelings, so even if I meet someone I like, at most will admire him at a distant, making it hard to hint to him that I like him, and I wouldn’t express myself or make the first move, thus missing out a lot of opportunities, creating the want-but-afraid-of-getting-hurt feeling, this makes it difficult to create ‘sparks’. If your partner has not appeared yet, fret not, there is definitely someone out there liking you now, just need to give him a little encouragement and hint, and you will live happily ever after.

Ok.. if this is really accurate, so my SO will be friend’s friend? Or do I have to sign up with SDU or something??? Wait, it says there is someone liking me now, but I need to give hints and encouragement. But… I DON’T KNOW WHO HOW TO HINT AND ENCOURAGE????? Come on… Make me kan chiong only!

Nevermind… I be patient…

Doughnuts

Ok… After working for a morning… I think I need to blog!!!! Take a break can??? Ok, I know I have been blogging excessively, but I cant help it. I think I am addicted…. Is there any cure for Excessive Blogging Disorder???

Ei, I asked a question in one of my earlier post… Who knows how to change blogskin?? No answer yet. I guess those reading my blog all don’t know how to. Can someone tell me how?

I am craving for doughnuts now. Do you think Spinelli sells doughtnuts? *Runs down to check* No doughnuts…. Saaaaaaaaaad…

Summerhouse Doughnut… Looks good… * Quickly calls to order* Collecting after work. Yeah! *Shows victory sign*

Some people think that the world cant go ob without them. Or maybe she thinks that I am completely incompetent. Maybe. Cos I have been slacking mah. Hahahaha. You think if I wanna do my job well, you got chance to check my work meh?! I cannot be bothered with you only! Let the whole world think your are good lor. Yes I don’t deny you are good at what you do. But your Let the whole world think your are good lor. Yes I don’t deny you are good at what you do. But your personality SUCKS big time!!! Act so sweet & innocent, but actually so gossipy.. PUI!!

Sighhhhh… Ok… I shall stop complaining…

PMS....

Me PMSing… I can feel it…

My dear friends are getting from bad to worse… Only good ol’ Da jie bothered to reply me in the email… and Bubbles… Sms dun reply, email dun reply… Ok… so am I supposed to call up everyone of them and ask them one by one? Or they simply cant be bothered anymore? Or, they are waiting for some other better, more interesting activities/people to jio them, if not they will join us? We are reserves???

I am getting tired ok… Try organizing once and you know what I mean… For those who read my blog, YES I AM TALKING ABOUT YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

Ok… give them the benefit of doubt… Its still early…. Its next week mah… Maybe they are busy… Maybe they haven check email yet… Maybe… I WAIT!

No Mood...

Bored bored bored….. Super bored now…. How??? Ok I shall take some photos of my workstation….

And here is Bubble’s workstation, right behind mine… We are both quite neat la huh? Hahahaha

It’s a boring boring day, plus I don’t feel like working today… Hell, I don’t feel like working everyday can? Someone up there, please bless me to strike Toto first prize this week! And I want it all by myself, no sharing ok! Then I will Q.U.I.T.! And do what I like. Travel. Bring my mum to where she wants to go. Go where I want to go. Get a companion for Elfie baby. I know he is lonely at home all the time. Invest in some business with Bubbles and JB-ren (If they are interested la). Write a book. Yes I know I cant fucking write anything interesting, neither do I write very well, but WTF, I LIKE OK! Who cares if no one buys my books? I strike Toto what! I can even use a one hundred dollar note to wipe my ass if I like hahahahah…. All this is IF I strike Toto la…. Sigh…

Oooops! I think I am too vulgar. Better tone down abit.

Ok, so if I really strike Toto, what do I really want to do? Let me have a serious thought about it. If not I will feel very lost and insecure if I really strike. Hahahaha!

Whats the prize? *Quickly check the Singapore Pools webbie* S$1.5M! Ok. That should be quite sufficient for me! After deduct all the taxes and whatever, I think still got $1M ba. Ok, lets estimate based on $1M.

First I will get a roof over my head. No need too big kind. Maybe a one bedroom apartment. That will be how much? Half a million? Ok. I have half a million left. I think I should get another HDB flat, maybe a 3-room flat in a popular area, and rent it out. Earn the rent. That will be another $400,000? No, then I shall stay in the 3-room flat and rent the apartment. Lidat can get higher rent right?

Wahlau, then I will only have $100,000 left! Shit! Why is property so damn expensive here? Although the above is just a rough guide, but I think the numbers are close enough. Shit! What can I do with $100,000? Ok la, still can travel to some places. I know Mum wants to go Melbourne (to Yan-jeje place), Texas (to cat kaofu place), to London (Pek jeje place), to Hong Kong (cos she asked me recently). I think I can still afford to bring her to these places la.

Sorry Bubbles and JB-ren. No more money to invest in your businesses! Ahahahaha! And I think I will still have to slog for another 20 years before I can retire. SIGH……..

Oh, and I think I can still afford to get Elfie a companion. Male or female doesn’t matter la, cos I will spay them both anyway hahahaha. But I am afraid I will be biased. Cos I love my boy very much now. What if I love No.2 less? Or, what if I love Elfie less? Either scenario is not good. Sigh…

Elfie is soooo cute! I can never get sick of playing with him. Yes he is stubborn and playful. And he hates to bathe hahahaha. But sometimes he knows something is wrong, he will warn you. Oh, I think I did not blog about this before! Must tell!

Last week, I was warming up something in a claypot, and I TOTALLY forgot about it! Still happily chatting on MSN and surfing FP. I did smell something, and I still thought ‘KNN! Which house burnt their dinner?’ Elfie became very funny. He kept pawing me. I thought he wanted to get up on the couch, so I carried him up. But he pawed me again. I thought he wanted to get down, so carried him down. Then again. I cuddled him and asked him ‘Why? Whats wrong baby?’. Of cos he couldn’t answer me la. Then I went into the kitchen AND I SAW IT!!! I saw the pot and I remembered I was heating it up! I quickly turned off the fire and when I opened the lid, WAHKAU! The contents were all BLACK man! If I discovered it a tad bit later, I think they would have started to burn. Then maybe I wouldn’t be here blogging away anymore…..

Thanks Elfie baby! You saved my life!!!! Mucks!!!

I love the way Elfie flips his ‘hair’ when his fur was longer. Like a chio bu! Hahaha! But then, he is also a messy dog. He loves to go to corners and stuff his head there for dunno what! And end up getting black and dirty all the time. Worse, he likes to get wet in the bathroom then stuff his head into corners! Make sure the dirt stays on his head! Pity his mummy me! Have to bath him twice a week! And it is always my turn to bathe after that, cos he gets me all wet! Ahahaha! Sounds provocative huh!

Here is a photo of him when he had longer fur.

And here is one of him now. Botak! Hahahaha!

I LOVE Elfie!

Hong Kong? Redang? Sentosa?

Thailand is chaotic now. Do you think everything will die down by the time we go Phuket? Hope so man! Our first family trip and this has to happen… GRRRR! Can we change place???

Rose has always been a very straightforward person. I may be quiet most of the times, but if asked for an opinion, Rose will always give an honest one. Rose is always the Devil’s Advocate. I will say out all the negative but true facts, which unfortunately, most people hate to hear. So maybe that’s why Rose is not a very popular gal hahahahahaha…. Well… Maybe Rose should just keep her big mouth shut huh…

A Tribute to Beach Gals - Part 8

Ok, since I am not in the mood to work, I shall blog more today. But I shall just post them one by one… If not Bubbles will finish reading very fast and pester me to blog more hahahaha.

Director is one of the Beach Gals that I don’t get to meet very often, reason being her work schedule is sometimes so tight that she dont get to sleep for days. Director is not really a nick, cos she IS a director in MediaCorp. That explains her crazy schedule huh.

When I first knew Director, I thought that she was very AA. Cos she was always very loud, and always the joker in the class / school. Maybe being the quiet one, I felt that she was much too loud. Until we got into the same class in Sec3, we started hanging out more together (The ABC theory), it was only then I got to know her better. Why I started talking to her was bcos we discovered that we both love watching Hong Kong series. It was still the era of renting video tapes then, so we discussed a lot about the storyline, and who we loved or hated in the show. I remembered she liked Kitty Lai back then.

Director’s 2nd language was very strong. Which is probably the reason why most chinese teachers adore her. Actually, most teachers adore her, simply bcos she makes people laugh. Plus she was always a smart and diligent gal, which teacher wouldn’t like this category of student?

I used to think that the things Director sad were very profound. There was once she, me and Vampire were sitting on the beach or something, and talking about life. I really cant remember why I was with them, bcos I was not exactly close to either of them. And we were discussing something so serious. I can vividly remember Director said ‘don’t see me always laugh, actually I feel empty sometimes’. Wow, this is like my first heart to heart talk with her. Since then, I changed my opinion of her totally. I learnt that being the joker doesn’t mean you will be always happy all the time. Even the funniest joker is afterall, human.

After graduation, Director got into the industry she had the most passion for – Media! She climbed slowly and steadily to where she is now. We always liked to pester her to tell us about the gossips in Mediacorp, and call the artistes by their names as if we know them so well hahahaha. She will always oblige us, cos she knows that we will not anyhow pass the gossips on to unreliable people (we really don’t ;p).


We used to think that she is lucky, to be able to find work in something that she likes and has a passion for. But then, every job has its own 酸甜苦辣. She has to handle people from all walks of life. And put up with their cockiness and / or airs. Somehow, I guess people from the entertainment circle will tend to think that they are up there, and everyone has to give in to them. Yes, of cos during interviews they will say ‘Oh, we are just normal people’. Well, then behave like one lor!

Director met her hubby, where else, in Mediacorp. She has had her down times too. I remembered she got herself drunk one Christmas Eve, and we had to drive her home, although her house was only like just behind Mohd Sultan! And she kept breathing hard (she is asthmatic) like she was gonna have a heart attack anytime! We are all abit freaked out by her then. Luckily, it was only a scare, no major issue. So that’s why sometimes I feel that the more bubbly you appear to be, the more hurt you tend to be, when you do get hurt. So, do show more care and concern for those around, whom you think is never sad at all, ok?

When she announced her wedding, we were all so excited! Partly bcos we were of cos happy for her. But mostly bcos we could see stars at the dinner! Hahahaha. Dajie kept asking if 715 was attending, and she wanted to sit at the next table or better still, next to him! Hahaha… Too bad he didn’t turn up. Bubbles and Rose made the most effort and spent the most money. We dieted for like 1 month before (I think Bubbles even longer) just bcos we wanted to look slim beside all the stick thin actresses. Spent money on our dresses, made appointments for manicure and hair saloon. I even booked a hotel, just to make ourselves look pretty for the night.

When the day finally came, the excitement somewhat died down a little. We were still enthusiastic, but of cos. We had to help cos her other ‘sisters’ were like for show only. Maybe they are inexperienced hahahaha. We let them have the fun cos we had been through many customary weddings before (Oooops, does that mean we are O.L.D.??). Director looked really sweet and pretty that day. I think since after JC days, that was the first time she has properly worn a skirt / dress. Who says not all brides are pretty? In my opinion, as long as you put in the effort, you can look pretty anytime! So all the 懒女人out the, start doing something ok!!

Director’s family, to me, has always been a very friendly bunch. Maybe that explains why she turned out so bubbly and comical. But hey, not true, not all her sisters are like her. I knew there were times when Director had to settle problems for her siblings, or parents. Those were the not-so-happy side of her. But she seldom complains about them, just that when we asked, she will tell. One thing about her, she is not ashamed of her family (Not that there is anything to be ashamed of la, you know what I mean). For me, it took me a loooong time before I first confided my insecurity and problems to my dear sisters. Well, better late than never huh.

Director’s hubby is a really sweet guy. Well.. at least in front of us he is rather sweet la hahahaha. He treats her really well, and they are both accommodating to each other, so I guess Director has finally found her happiness in him, and vice versa. And they live happily ever after!

A Tribute to Beach Gals - Part 7

Rose was away from office last Friday, and when I came back this morning, the pile of paper on my tray was super high. Ok, it has always been high, but it just got higher. And the inbox was all red. Many emails from Rose's boss. Wah, very rare, cos boss very seldom check email one. So Rose better see what she wants man!

But before anything, Rose realises that she has been MIA from the Beach Gals series for some time, so better do one now ;p.

Rose has been close to Ms HP, maybe bcos we stay near to each other. Its easier for us to do impromptu stuff, like dinner or a movie, usually in the neighborhood. Then we can head home on our own. Our favourite hangout - Tiong Bahru Market / Plaza, or GWC.

Ms HP has always been a very sweet gal, patient, never throws her temper, easygoing. Why do I call her Ms HP? Bcos she works in HP mah (LOL). And she is very dedicated to her work. Everytime I log on my pc and she is online, and working. Unlike me, log on to chat or go into forums only ;p. We always ask her what she does, but despite having explained so many times, we still cannot really understand her work hahahaha. From what I understand - she does financial analysis / budgeting on project basis. So she always has lots of deadlines / monthends to meet. Right? So whenever it is nearing month end, or beginning of the month, it is not a good time to jio her out.

Although not so active, Ms HP is always game for something new / adventurous. She likes to travel to places that have nice scenery, or of great historian value. I remember she has been to Nepal, and trekked up the mountains. Me? Only for shopping and food or clubbing hahahaha. She is quite sociable too. Can make friends anywhere, anytime. She can go on a trip with some strangers, and still enjoy it. Unlike me, can be darn anti-social at times.

Ms HP is a collector. She collects postcards, or nice cards, long-legged birdie soft toys, birthday bears (these sometimes she gives away la), limited edition toys (like those Mcdonald kind), and lots of other stuff I cant remember now. I asked her before what she intends to do with them. Her reply - Next time I will display them / I can use as wallpaper in my new house. Well...... Maybe I cant understand the joy of collecting. I never collect anything special. I have limited space and I need every inch available for my shoes and clothes and skincare and books and other stuff! Oh, and recently, Rose did something bad - Rose introduced scrapbooking to Ms HP! More things to add to her collection hahahahah!

Recently, Rose kenna complained by Ms HP many times. I think it sort of started from the time Rose dated Uncle (Ex now). Ms HP complained that Rose is very hard to date, and has no time for her. Well.... It so happened that Uncle had only so much time for Rose, and Rose's mummy happened to be away most of the time during that period, and Rose had to take care of her baby boy. And even after Rose's breakup with Uncle, Rose had been busy with baby boy. Rose has become a homely person. Cant help it cos Rose has to do lots of housework nowadays. Maybe Ms HP felt neglected.... Sometimes when I can make it, she has made other plans already. I can sense the tension between us sometimes, but I know I just cant make everyone happy..... I dont blame Ms HP for finding other friends, bcos I know that I cant spend as much time with her as before....

Rose has never heard of Ms HP's romance before in our 18 years of friendship. Either she is damn good at keeping secrets, or she has not met that special someone yet. Rose sincerely hopes that Ms HP will meet a nice, caring man who will take good care of her soon.

Ms HP, call me anytime, if I can make it, I will definitely be there!

Rose's KL Trip

Rose is back from KL! Totally enjoyed the trip, though there were times when not everyone was happy. I guess that’s the problem with traveling with too many parties. The most stressed one I guess was Bubbles, bcos she had to take care of her 3 friends, as well as, ME.

We took the 8am coach on Friday. The coach was ok. Got toilet one, but we did not dare to use it. The seats were quite spacious. Fade was cool throughout the journey; Bubbles and Rose kept talking and laughing along the way. They served us mee goring, which was not very delicious. After like 3-4 hours, we all got tired and slept for the remaining journey.

We reached KL at about 1pm. Blueman was supposed to fetch us from the coach dropoff point, but he was nowhere in sight. Bubbles and Fade called him and his reply was always ‘on the way’. Okkkkkkkkkk… Thought his office was near the coach station? Hehehe. Ok, I know how bad the jam in KL can be, so I did not comment lor. Finally when Blueman showed up, we were a little hungry already. He wanted to bring us for this very famous Char Siew, but when he found the way to it, it was CLOSED! Exactly the same period as IMF, so we assumed they were invited to the conference ^_^. He wanted to bring us to this other place, but then got a little lost, so we settled for beef noodles at Jalan Alor. Not too bad, but Bubbles had not much appetite. I ate like a pig…..

After that, we checked into the hotel. We stayed at the Regent, which was right smacked in the tourist shopping area. Just a stone’s throw away from Bukit Bintang. Bubbles and I washed up and went shopping. Fade wanted to rest, so we left him in the hotel. Bubbles was very targeted, she just wanted to see Vincci and Mango and Seed. She bought a very nice tube top from Mango, but did not see anything else she fancied from elsewhere. Rose bought 2 pairs of shoes from Vincci. That’s about it. Basically did not do much serious shopping la.

Rose was supposed to meet up with Mr. A for dinner on Friday, but he flew me a big 747, so Rose joined Bubbles and her friends for dinner instead. Luckily I made that decision, if not I would have missed out a not-too-bad meal, and an experience of an over RM1000 dinner. Blueman brought us to this Italian restaurant in Jalan Alor. It was just a small place, but very exclusive. We had LOTS of meat. Salty meat. And I had lots of wine. I think I had about 4-5 glasses in all? Blueman’s friend Sleeper and brother Soon, joined us after that. Bubbles had heard a lot about this Sleeper. He had this weird illness that sounded rather dangerous to me – the sleeping bug can catch him anytime, anywhere. He can just fall into deep sleep any moment. Even when he is eating or driving…. Dangerous right? Sleeper speaks with a strong British accent. Basicaly Rose’s impression of him wasn’t too good. Bubbles agreed that he was rather AA – attract attention. But super generous. He footed the bill at the restaurant, which we felt bad about, bcos he arrived late and only had leftovers.

After dinner, we headed for this Jazz pub called No Black Tie, also in Jalan Alor. Basically Rose does not know how to appreciate such high class music, so was quite bored hahahah. But still kept drinking whiskey coke. Blueman kept refilling my glass, and I kept drinking. I haven’t drank so much for a very long time. By the time we left the place, I was ¾ drunk already. Blueman brought us for supper at this wanton mee place. There was road block on the way, but luckily, Bubbles was sober. As in not that Blueman was not sober, but Bubbles did not drink any alcohol mah, so even if kenna stopped and checked, wouldn’t kenna fined or charged. Rose fell into a deep sleep after washing up on the first night in KL.

Day 2 – Supposed to go up to Genting. This was something not everyone was happy about, but I guess someone had to be accommodating, right? Fade wanted to go up to gamble, so up we went. We woke up at about 9, went for breakfast at Bukit Bintang. Bak Kuh Teh was nice. Fade packed duck noodles for Blueman, who was still snoozing in bed. Bubbles and Rose went for some last minute shopping.

Fade’s friend was supposed to drive us up. Appointed time was 12.30pm, then became 1pm. But at 1.30pm, we were still waiting at the lobby. All of us were getting impatient. Finally, they arrived… in a 5 seater. There were 6 of us, so 4 of us had to squeeze at the back. Blueman had long legs, so it was a bit torturing for him. Fade was also suffering from a one-sided-purple butt. Bubbles had insisted that both of us sit comfortably.

Genting was not a good trip for Rose. It brought back not too pleasant memories. Plus there was nothing much to do up there. My anti-socialness crept in silently, and I just wanted to get away from the casino. Athough I knew Bubbles wanted to stay, she kept me company. Blueman joined us after a while, and we went to Coffeebean to relak. Blueman is a fun guy to be with, or maybe bcos I am Bubbles’ good friend so he treated me quite nice la. Hahahaha. He is a joker and made me laugh a lot. Bubbles made Fade agree to leave at 5.30. He had lost quite abit, so maybe it was a good thing Bubbles insisted too. Fade’s friends had something to attend to so he went with them. Blueman, Bubbles and Rose went back to the hotel and prepared for dinner. In actual fact, Rose wanted to dress up more and put on some make up for the partying la. Shhhhhhhhhh...

Sleeper came to pick us up, and we had this super nice Korean meal at Jalan Andamas (?). Bubbles wanted to bring me to do some serious partying, cos she felt bad about the Jazz place the night before. She had promised me the clubbing scene, and she wanted me to enjoy. I did not stop her cos I knew that if I don’t let her be, she would feel bad. But I was feeling anti-social still. Maybe Mr. A affected me a little. Just maybe…

We headed for Velvet Underground at abut 11pm. The place was freaking cold. I was like shivering the moment we stepped in. But as the crowd came in, and as the booze took effect, I started to warm up. Rose and Bubbles started dancing. And Rose continued drinking. As I picked up my Who-knows-its-my-number-what glass, Blueman whispered to me ‘That bottle costs a freaking $800’. I nearly spat out whatever was in my mouth. $800???? Do we need such an expensive drink??? BUT, Sleeper picked up the tab again. At first Rose felt a little paiseh, cos she has not offered to pay for anything for the trip. It was either Fade, Blueman or Sleeper who paid. Bubbles paid for the Korean dinner. But then again I thought they must be doing this all the time, so WTH, just eat and drink and be merry la.

Rose was almost gone by the time we left Velvet. But I made myself walk as straight as possible. Bubbles had wanted supper, but Rose couldnt, really couldn’t do it. Bubbles washed up a little and went to look for Blueman. But Rose could hear her come back after a short while. She said Blueman was gone too. Hahhaha… I was not the only one.

The next morning we had to catch the 10am coach so woke up early to wash up and pack. Bubbles said she had a disturbed night, bcos Rose grinds her teeth! Hahaha… Sorry, I should have warned you beforehand.

We went for breakfast – Bak Kuh Teh again. I didn’t mind bcos I needed something warm for my booze-filled stomach. Then Blueman sent us to the bus station before returning the car to his office. Then he came back to meet us. The coach set off punctually. This time, Bubbles and Rose slept most of the journey. Guess we were both tired.

Overall Rose had fun in KL. Bubbles smsed me that she was apologetic if the trip had not turned out as fun as promised, but I did not feel so. Maybe just that there were too many ‘strangers’ involved, and too many obligations to fulfill, thus creating some kind of tension (that was my reply to her too). I also felt that Bubbles had somewhat too high expectations of her friends, therefore felt a little disappointed. Plus she had me to take care of. She kept worrying about me. I am/was apologetic about that. But I knew if I declined her concern, she wouldn’t have felt at ease, so I accepted it. I could have made things better, if not for my anti-socialness. Well, next time la. I am sure I will improve hehehe.

Yes, I enjoyed my trip! Look forward to our next trip together!

Frequent Flyer

Rosie is going to KL tomorrow! With Bubbles and her 2 long lost friends. Feel abit excited… Also will be meeting Mr. A for dinner, if he doesn’t fly me another 747, that is. Looking forward to it! Can do some shopping also. Go clubbing. Go eat nice food. Too many things to do! 2 days is too short! But, I have a mission to complete when I come home on Sunday, so I have to make it a short one.

Mummy asked me yesterday, I ever mentioned that I was going to Hong Kong, when am I going? I looked at her, and told her ‘Mummy, I went to Hong Kong almost 4 years ago’. She said ‘Oh, I thought you are going to bring me’. Is that a hint? Ok, after our Phuket trip in Oct, maybe yearend we go Hong Kong lor. Just like what we planned. During Christmas maybe? In that case, I better save more money and stop spending like nobody’s business. If not, I can only afford to send her there, while I stay in Singapore. Hahhaha

Yesterday Bubbles sent us a link for online fortune telling. Some of us tried it and found it quite accurate. Mine said that I will marry someone who respects me and loves me a lot. And that there might just be someone who is admiring me now. WHO IS IT? Come out and let me see you la.

Well, I guess such things cannot be rushed. If the time is right, everything will just happen accordingly, right? Right. I shall wait patiently for my Prince Charming to appear.

Gotta go back to work. I will continue my Beach Gals series soon. Stay tuned!

Courage

My ex-ex-boss’s father passed away yesterday. I remembered when my pa was ill, she was nice to let me adjust my working hours so that I can visit him in the hospital then. Once she even drove me to the hospital after a meeting. Not many bosses would be that nice, or willing to let you work flexible hours. I am lucky that she, and my ex-boss, are nice and understanding people.

My pa had cancer of the pancreas. It was a trying and painful process for all. Painful for my pa – he always said that we did not know or understand how he was suffering, what kind of pain he was in. Trying for all of us – we were all exceptionally careful in what we say, what we do, what we eat. We were afraid that something would trigger his emotions, which is what we did not want. Mum had the worst of it all, being the main caregiver to Pa. We all knew, including pa, that he did not have very long to live, and wanted him to just be happy for these remaining days, no matter how long or short it is.

Pa was a typical Chinese father – conservative, stern. We, as his children did not help alot by not communicating much with him. The distance between Pa and us just grew wider as we grew up. Only in the recent years, we were more willing to give in to him, go for more family outings etc. But it would never make up for the years we have lost.

Although Pa was always not very expressive, we know that he did love us. Whatever he did or did not do, I believed he strongly believed that it was for our good. He did little things that touched my heart. Like I briefly mentioned that I liked to eat fish. And every meal after that, there was always a dish of fish, be it steamed, fried or just a side garnish. Mum said that Pa always said ‘Ah zhi likes fish. Lets buy some’ whenever they go marketing on Sundays. I do not know whether it was enough, but I try to show my appreciation by finishing that dish all the time.

Pa had always been a very proud man. He would never admit that there is something he cannot do. Therefore he would always try his best whenever he was given a task to complete, be it work or a personal favour. Though he did not say it, I know that he must be feeling terrible during his last days, especially when he needed help to go toilet. Most times, it would be mum helping him. But there were times when she was busy with something else, we would help. When he needed to wear adult diapers, we would also help change him. If he had a choice, he would never want us to. But he was strong till the end, he did not once express his despair to us.

In Tuesdays with Morris, Morris had gracefully accepted the fact that he needed help when he was sick, and graciously accepted the help offered. In real life, how many of us are able to do that? Many of us, I believe, would rather die on the spot than to let someone, maybe even a stranger, or someone who always looked up to you, see you naked and help you clean up.

I salute those who can do it. Especially you, Pa.

RA Post

RA Post!

I did my virgin wax yesterday! Initially was so afraid of the pain that was so much talked about. Some even bled. And it was advised not to do it one week before your period, and I am getting mine soon… Felt a little nervous, but still went ahead to do it. I went to Honeypot at Pacific Plaza, recommended by some fellow podders. The gal, Jolene, who attended to me, was nice. She asked me to change into the tube top and get onto the bed. After I changed, I looked the bed. It was VERY high lor. I had to like jump then can get onto it. Then I thought, what position should I be lying? Should my legs bent like delivery pose, or flat down? I decided to pretend to be busy on my phone and wait for Jolene to come back to the room.

She was like ‘Ei, you havent lie down yet.’ I looked at the bed and said ‘so high leh’, then she laughed. She said ‘Ya I also have to jump then can get onto the bed, Nevermind la’. So I jumped lor. Then I looked at her with many question marks on my face. She knew… And told me how to position my legs. Hahahaha. First time is like that one, she said. Don’t be scared, its not that bad. She kept talking to me, which helped to distract me from the nervousness. The she applied the hot wax onto my V area, and talked some more. Then she pressed, and explained that have to do so that the hair would stick to the wax. Then kept talking to me. And then pulled the wax off! Woohoo! Honestly, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would. Jolene said bcos I do not have much hair down there. So the pain might not be that bad. The second layer was abit more painful, cos the pores are opened already. Slowly I got used to the hot wax and the pulling it off part, and not so embarrassed, having someone, a total stranger, examine your V area so closely. Jolene will really look at it under white light to check if there are anymore strands left behind. If there is, she will tweeze them off.

Next was my underarm. I had purposely left them to grow so that I can wax them off this trip hahahah. Hot wax also used on this area. The pain was nothing. Next!

Leg was next. This time was a little different. Jolene used a strip of hot wax to run through my legs, like applying glue, you know. Then she stuck a strip of paper firmly on the wax… And yanked it off! This was the painful one! Ouch!!! Jolene told me some places use this method, strip waxing, for the V area and underarm too, which is much more painful than hot wax. I wonder how people can stand the pain, if it was so painful on my leg, imagine down there…. Jolene also said some places use cloth instead of paper, and that was like 10 times worse, cos cloth is harsher then paper. I don’t even wanna think about it man….

As Jolene was finishing off my leg area, she asked me ‘Wanna do arm or not?’ I looked at my arms. It was definitely the hairiest place, cos legs and V area I do shave, but not my arms. What the heck, since I am already there, might as well do everything right? I asked her to do all the way down to my fingers.

After Jolene finished everything, I could see the look of satisfaction on her face. I laughed at her. She said ‘Ya, I cant stand hair!’ hahahaha. Then she looked at me real closely and commented ‘You very lucky leh. V area and legs not much hair, but your eyebrows and hair quite thick hor. Your hair grow at the right places’ hahaha I was like ‘huh? Thick meh?’ Nevermind, she say thick then thick lor. Hahahaha

It is an experience. I never felt so smooth in my life before! Hahahaha … But I guess I wouldn’t spend so much anymore. Maybe just go back and do my V area next time. Legs, arms and underarms, can do myself la…

Gals, go try it!

Selfless..

There are times when I tend to take for granted the things that I have. Like my mum. I raise my voice easily at her. Even though sometimes she really does deserve it (;p). But deep down in my heart, I know that she loves me. And I always feel bad after being loud. I try to control more now. But sometimes, it just comes out. I should think for 2 seconds before I get agitated. Yes, I should try to do that now. Please remind me ok….

How many of us actually can appreciate everyone around us? As far as I know, Bubbles does. I think that’s about it. All the others I know somehow or other takes people or things for granted. Not that I want to sar kar Bubbles, I don’t need to hahahah… But having spent more time with her nowadays, I do find that she is a really kind gal. She tries her best to help whoever needs it. I know that I wont be able to do that myself. Bcos I will start to ask myself ‘Why should I?’.

I know it is only normal. Human beings are generally – selfish. One will usually not put in any effort for matters that do not concern or benefit oneself. Who will actually go and spend time helping a total stranger? Onlookers, yes, a lot of them, but help rendered is usually scarce and rare. Oh yes, one of my uni mate was actually like that before. I have seen her help someone she doesn’t know at all find a book, even dug into the smelly dustbin to look. We used to laugh at her. But now I know. Being helpless is a terrible feeling. And whoever offered to help, you will be grateful. Although not all will be grateful la. That is where taking for granted comes in.
If it is you, will you offer to help look around if a stranger has lost his book? Or just give a simple ‘No, I did not see it’ and continue with what you are doing, or look at him look frantically for it? Yes I confess, I would do the latter. Check the dustbin? No way! Why should I??? See? The ‘why should I?’ comes out quite frequently. Next time you say it, think of when was the last time you asked yourself that question.

Wu Nai....

Its not that I dont want to help... i hv oredi done all i can... u dun wanna specify ur pbm properly, there is only so much i can do... if u wanna be angry, and think that i dun wanna help, there is nothing i can say or do....

I am back!

I miss blogging! Had been real busy this past one and half week. Cos boss back mah. This is my first experience of her workoholicness. Latest I have stayed back is 12+am. And not to mention the Saturdays burnt. But I heard I have not got the worst yet. I know there were times when people had to work till 4am in the morning just to meet with her! What kind of a boss do I have? And the best thing is: everybody gets dark circles and eye bags, except her! Really, I have observed, although she sleeps very little, she doesnt have abit of eyebag. I wonder how she does it....

Oh the good news is: I am confirmed! Finally passed my probation! Hahahaha... Had been a little worried before. I actually had a rather good talk with boss (Thanks to the encouragement of Bubbles), and sorted out some of our problems. And she told me that she had asked HR to confirm me one month ago! Where is my letter, HR???? Bubbles and I had a little celebration. She treated me to this nice Italian restaurant. Very posh, yet cosy. And the food is bagus! I had this Tiogliolini seafood in tomato sauce, and Bubbles had the nicest Caesar salad. Although the serving was not very big, we both felt very satisfied. Thanks Bubbles for the sumptuous lunch!

Now I am looking forward to my KL trip next week. We went to buy our coach tickets just now. This is Bubbles' first trip on a coach and she asked so many questions. Hahahaha.

Can we choose the seats?

You mean only can sit upstairs?

Got food one ah?

Oh can choose the kind of meal?

Where to board the bus har?

How long is the journey? (She asked this at least twice)

Funny la she... Made me wanna laugh out loud. Like a small kid going on a trip for the first time. Actually sometimes little things make her excited. Which is good. Bcos I feel that I have lost the feeling of excitement. Like nothing can excite me anymore. Am I getting bored with life????

Of cos not la. There are so many things I have not tried before. Just that now I dont have the means to do so many things. Must wait till things are more stable, then I will slowly do what I want to do.

Tonite am going home for dinner. Finally... I have not eaten with my dear mum for a week plus. She kept asking me: are you coming home for dinner tonite, and my answer is always: see what time my boss leave lor. She kept asking me how come like this, cos during her time, her boss dont make people stay when they need to work late. I told her 'Mum, you cannot compare now and your time lor. That was like 40 years ago?' hahahaha... Well, now competition is so stiff. If you dont work hard enough, or dont pretend enough to work hard (LOL), you get swept out of the circle very soon. That is the cruel but true reality. Its not just work for the sake of working, but work for the sake of survival. Sigh,... Ok. dont talk about unhappy things...

I have like 2 weeks break before my boss comes back again end of September. So I better make sure I enjoy these days man! Here I go, off to enjoy! But stay tuned for more Beach Gals series ya..

See My Blur Eyes @_@

Me really busy this week.. cos my boss is back... those on msn... I am not even chatting lor! You can see the 'Busy' icon on my name the whole week. But I really busy lor... But I am happy, cos I think I know what I am doing now. Yes, I may still not be very organized, but I am almost there! Prepare to applaud me ok!

Today nearly kenna again. If not for Bubbles, I think my boss would have screamed at me already.... She told me to call a person, H. So I flipped through the name list and was already dialling when I noticed this person is in Marcom. Why does she want me to call Marcom when she is talking Leasing? I was hesitating to finish dialling the numbers when Bubbles came over, and said, 'hey, she wants you to call this who right?'. I was like 'Yes, but why does she want to call this person?' Bubbles was like 'H is from BJ, you know?'. Of cos I didnt know lor. They even have the same surname lor! And I discovered I do not know this person's number at all! Luckily for me, Bubbles was there. She quickly called someone who knew the number and gave it to me. Phew!!! C, the CEO's secretary happened to be around as well, and she imparted her organization of telephone numbers to me. I must really do that when I am not so busy. Start tomorrow, infact. Do bit by bit. Hor? ;p

I had been praying for my boss to go back soonest possible (I was told there is no such phrase - soonest possible). I was so happy when she told me to book her on the Wednesday flight. Then it occurred to me that she had to attend another event on Friday. I was contemplating whether I should just book the flight as she instructed, or remind her of the event. Eventually, the responsible side of me won the war. I reminded her of the even and she went like 'Oh ya, I have to stay till Saturday then!' Sigh.. Ok, nevermind, at least I dont get into trouble for not reminding her, right? Right!

I helped out at the event today. I find that actually I am quite good at Customer Service. I keep smiling at everybody and tried to answer their queries as best as I could, although in actual fact I am blur as sotong! The other exhibition table dont even have anyone there, and I have to triple up as their customer service as well. Maybe I should switch line hor... hehehe... Consider...

I think I am a little intimidated by my boss. I panic quite easily when she asks me to do things. Don’t know why. Maybe bcos I know myself that I am not fully organized and prepared yet. Have to really buck up. Hope I don’t get into anymore trouble with her. Cross my fingers!

4 more days to go!
