My B-Day = My Mum Suffering!

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Now its is 1.44pm and jus enjoyin my usual internet surfing after lunch..before i start work proper..Been feeling so tired the whole morning..Guess its because i spent the day outta in the sun yday and dinch get enuff rest the afternoon after..But its kinda nice to be outta in the sun coz it had been so loong! Wanted to stay for like 2 hours or so in the sun but the sun was way way too hot to stay more than an hour! So after an hour, i was like “I have to go before i am baked!” ahaha..:P

Yay its October already and you know what that meant?! My big bird-day!! ahaha..Well, the day for me to grow old again but oh well, its the day where i get to celebrate! ahaha..:P

Was in taxi last week..which i cant remember which day exactly but remembered hearing this DJ i think it was Class 95..Jean or someone saying something abt bird-day..Saying something like..Your b-day but have you ever thought that today is the day where your mum is suffering for a whole lot of probably 10 hours or so just to give birth to you? So b-day is actually the day where you should celebrate it with your mum and something like day that belongs to your mum and not you..

Hmm..that message just kinda lingers in my mind for the whole week till today..Well, i guess what she said is true since our b-days are really the day where our mums suffered for a whole lot of time to give birth to us..And somehow our greatest mums are forgotten on this day! I do agree with her on that though..No one really remembers our mums and its always about ourselves..hee hee..

But hey that doesnt mean that for this year, am gonna forget abt myself..It is still gonna be me me me me!! ehehe..Just that this year i will especially think of my mum during my bird-day..and probably i will get her something nice..:)

Hello..this is small company..u think MNC issit?!

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

Cant help but blog this stupid incident that just happened at work..N not around at home coz she was on MC so no one to bitch this thing about..My annoying jr is so annoying!! Argghh..Well, we have this document in place which we would need translated into Chinese and bcos she is from our dear mainland CHina, obviously she is the choice to do all these..so the document was like 7 pages and she had to finish translating by tomorrow afternoon as my GM needs to have a final look before i can forward the document to some journalist..So being unhappy that she has to do all these kind of stuff, she complained and dropped an email to my GM.

Quote & unquote:

“Ok. Will do that.

Hi GM (name has been removed to protect privacy), just to clarify is translation clearly defined as under my scope? Because I have been doing quite a number of translating and vetting work. The time spent on this is actually not short. If it is indeed in my scope, then please define it clearly. If it is not, I would appreciate all translation work needed my assistance to be limited to no more than 2 pages.

And now with such a tight timeline for a 7-page document, it means all the other works I’ve been instructed to do, like Board Meeting data preparation and Academy have to halt to meet the timeline. Please understand I’m not trying to push this job away, I will do it this time and will meet the timeline. But for long term, I don’t think this is productive.”

Wah very serious leh..actually wrote this email to my GM! never die before lor..hello this is a small company and we do not have distinct job scope lor! if you wan distinct job scope, go join an MNC lah..wat the fish are you doing here?! Just bcoz she is helping my very big boss to do some of the work, she thot she can siam all the work..and jus bcos she is dating my Director’s wife’s nephew and calling him “Uncle (surname)” at work, she think shes some mighty big shot..Excuse me miss, this is work lah..u think yr family business huh? u think you can choose and pick your work issit? Can die you know..somemore shes like what? join the company only for a year and already avoiding all sorta of work..i dont even dare to make a noise when i was asked to do things that are not under my job scope man! can die..

But my GM was very diplomatic by replying:

“I agreed with u. Unfortunately such work crops up from time to time.
Technically speaking, would need your assistance as u r the Board. Secretary. We keep it short.

Next time, we will get shenzhen or shanghai side for help or external agencies.

Okie with u? I know everyone is loaded. And I certainly appreciate all that u have done. U can resurface the translated doc for this by tom evening. I will look thru at 9 pm in the hotel.”

He, being a bit bitchy yet trying to angkat her at the same time..ahaha..But hey i bet he has taken a totally different perspective of her now..she also lah..tink shes some mighty big shot issit? Even my GM has to do job that is not in his job scope!

Wedding Bells..*ding* *ding*

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Okay..not me! if that is the question that is poppin in yr head rite now..:P Just these 2 days been receivin weddin news from moi frens..Yday was the first when one of my best buddies from sec school MSN to ask me whether i am free in Dec coz she wans to invite me for her weddin..so gave her a call and had a short catching up session with her..Boy was i surprised..havent heard from her for so long and the first news that i heard from her was that she is gettin married! Hey am happy for her really! :) She and her bf has dated for like 2.5 years and now gettin married..pretty surprised but am happy for her..:)

And this morning..again on MSN..one of my ex colleagues MSN me and asked me whether i received her email weddin invite..wah..i was shocked! Hmm..not shocked coz she is gettn married coz already heard news about tt last year when she was still in my company..jus shocked that she invited me..hee hee..well, its not for dinner like my best bud but rather church weddin..in dec also! Wah..best month to get married lor..:P wasnt really close to her so was a bit surprised when she asked me to go for her weddin..kinda nice of her to invite me tho..:) She and her bf..lets see..probably a year plus or 2? not very long lah..

earlier this evenin had dinner with my two best gfs from JC..and one of them told me that her bf has proposed so they would be gettin married not so soon since they are waiting for their flat to come first before they get married..well, they been together for 7 years..me and my these 2 gfs started in the same year, jus different months but well, they are both still together with their bfs but not me..7 years and goin strong! Think i should be hearin weddin bells from the other one soon also..hee hee ;P

Wah..wats with this period lor..everyone is gettin married..also saw some of my frens from school or clubbin, status : married and marriage photos displayed everywhere in their frenster lor..wah..i think its the age lor..pretty soon i shld be receivin baby invites! hee hee..have been receivin weddin invites 2 years back..but dinch quite bother me coz tthe group that me close with do not hav anyone gettin married and now my best gf already has a ring on her finger jus wah..Now it makes me wan to get married also!! ahaha;P Jus last nite i had a dream that i was pregnant lor! scary leh…can practically feel the baby in my stomach..so scary!! gosh am so not ready for that..ahaha..

Well, if i were to be with my ex, probably weddin bells are ringing also..ahaha..but well, i am not with him so no bells for me..:P Hwever i do feel that you cant go into a relationship for too long and not get married, once you passed that stage, then everything jus goes all wrong…so cant pak tor for too short nor too long..a lesson that i have learnt..

Right nw, jus feelin the bells man..ahah..i think its the season..ppl around me gettin married..pregnant..jus makes me wan to get married..ahaha..:P Dont think will b that soon yet..ahah….but would be quite nice to have my own place and also someone to go home to though..hee hee ;P

“Would you marry me?”

SURPRISE!

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Was feelin really well today and not even bothered with what was goin on in the company..hee hee..Well company is gettin really political these days and kinda sucks..Favoritism, bias and unfairness is jus everywhere! How life has changed since i last joined the company..

Oh well, had a free lunch from JC this afternoon at Sushi Tei and was all geared up for KFC for dinner..dunch dare to pin much hopes on meetin my B since i know it was highly possible that i wunch be meetin him..dunch wish to pin too much hopes and end up being disappointed..so was jus planning my own dinner plans with KFC and probably som yummy ice kachang from my fav hawker stall near my place! But received a really nice surprise when i was about to knock off work..

6.17pm
B: Wats my b doing? Going off soon?
Me: Hey baby..:) Yea i guez..u? where are u? busy huh?
B: Ya lo..Bz waiting for my big client..Dunno wat time she cm down also..haiz
Me: Oh ok..thot u miting me..hehe..hw big is she?
B: V big..Cn do business for life ..haha
Me: Serious huh? hehe..how come got so big client?
B: Hmm..know her relatively lng..Nt a bad person n quite supportive also..Hope she cmes down earlier…I abit hungry le..
Me: Oh ok..gd luck!:) Hmm..go eat something first..dunch starve yourself k?
B: Cnt..i waiting for her to eat leh..
Me: Oh ok..sighs..i miss going out 2 eat with you..:(

Haha..and guess wat? i received a call shortly and someone is actually downstairs at my office waitin for me! ahaha.:P Wat a surprise! When i heard that i was like aiyoh..why you so mean and bluff me…He was goin round and round and actually he was talking abt me! At that moment, i dinch know that he was talking abt me..seriously, i thought he was talking abt his MLM client..hee hee…but again, i feel so sweet and surprised..ehehe..he dinch really tell me in advance that he is meetin me so i was surprised that he dropped by..that jus totally brightened up my day! :D
So we wen for dinner at our favorite haunt at CCK..a pretty nice place..away from crowd..romantic coz it is outdoor and got candle lor..:P Food is pretty good and aint too expensive also..:) Had fun jus hanging out with him..he complaining about how his day of sales went while me..jus listening with my occasional grumbles about work..hee hee :P
He dinch come over coz he had to go back to camp to pack his stuff..so only met him for dinner but am jus grateful for this short period of dinner with him..:) He did apologized for neglecting me and also not havin dinner with me anymores..And treated me to a nice dinner..:) Coz he said that he made some sales today so decided to pamper me with some delicious dinner..:)

Hehe..oh well, he is forgiven for the neglect for the weekend..:)

His surprise jus sweetened my heart and brings a smile to me..:D

Monday, September 17th, 2007

Monday..a day back to work and it is lunch time now..:) Yum yum..would b going with JC for lunch at Sushi Tei..jus nice..have a huge craving for some Japanese food dipped with wasabi!! YUM! You can always count on yr girlfrens for some craving satisfying!! ehehehe..:P

Well, am feelin so much better today and no longer that grouchy and sulky like what i did over on Sat nite..ahaha..wanted to go partyin on Sat nite coz was so pissed with my dear B but decided not to as i know that i would drink a bit too much and that would totally ruined my Sunday which i had wonderful plans for..So stayed at home and dear B did come and visit me much later at around 11 plus..Was feelin a bit sian when i saw him but somehow that feelin jus wen off after a while..no longer feelin angry, pissed or sian…Jus felt comfortable with him around..Oh well, i guess i am jus a gal who needs some sayang-ing..hee hee :P
Had lots of frens msging me over phone and MSN askin me how i am..hey guys thanks for the concern! :) Your dear fren is feelin great today..hee hee..probably coz i have decided to look at this thing in a different light. :) But then i have decided to drop some hints to my beloved to tell him that i am being neglected by him..and hey it works! Saying that i felt ignored by him and being replaced by his MLM thing..He did apologize and say that he realized that he has neglected me so much and he is sorry about it..I do agree with him that things at the beginning are like that..and jus hope that things will get beta as time passes..:) Its not that i am against him doing this MLM thing but i just want some time with him..Jus dont want to be totally neglected and ignored which would not be very healthy for our relationship..I am supportive of what he does..I guess it is better for a guy who has drive to work towards a goal or career than havin someone who simply has no drive and dreams rite?

But hey, at least he did realized that he has neglected me..but agains, then why he doesnt do anything abt it? ahaha..:P Oh well, let’s just hope things get beta but hey i do not put too much hopes of seeing him much this week..so that i dunch get disappointed and end up bein upset! :)

Do i have a boyfren?

Saturday, September 15th, 2007

Right now it is 9.05pm and on a Saturday..Wen down to Great World City fo the Installers’ Challenge that i was supposed to be covering JC who is unable to make it..So was supposed to meet my dearest B for dinner much later but guess wat?! At about 4++, finally a msg came from him and he said that he could not meet me at 7pm which was our initial time coz he had somethin to do..so sensing what it is, i asked him and he told me that he had some meeting for his MLM thing..argghh!! That jus totally ruined myday! So PISSED!!

Last nite i thought he went for his MLM meeting so dinch meet me and i msged him after i got off work at 9pm and realized that he is actually at home!! What the…it was okay..hes at home, saying that he just woke up and goin down to his dad’s market area for some networking..and by the time he finished, it was like 3 plus in the morning..am like wondering..so late still got ppl there meh? Never mind..since he would be meetin me today during dinner..had some plans of catchin a movie after dinner..and when i saw his msg..god i was so fishing pissed! Right now am just so non-existent in his life?! i was so lookin forward to meet him today and this came the msg..sayin that he can only meet me at around 11 plus..11 plus? well, that means we only lik spent the nite togethe and he has to return home tomorrow so basically we dunch get to do much stuff together! And hello! i just got back from China and i dont see you for like 3 days and was so looking forwad to this weekend and this is wat i get?!

*SIGHS*

Friday, September 14th, 2007

It’s TGIF and it is 7pm on a Friday and at this very moment, i am actually still in office finishing up some work that has piled up over my existence from work over the past few days..Been clearing the tons of emails and load that i have to settle before tomorrow sets in..

And its a Friday so how come i am not out? Hmm..i wonder why also..Right now my dear B is so busy with his MLM thing that i have become non-existent in his life?! Was so pissed with him last week when i fell sick and dunch even feel any care and concern from him..Well, he sorta realized it and did apologize to me later of the week..But now, am feelin so much that agains..

Nowadays, he dunch even msg me in the day even when i was in Beijing! It was always me takin the initiative to msg him first and dunch hear much from him at all..Well, he came to pick me up yday when i came back from beijing even though it was like a 6am flight and he dinch even catch any wink..I do appreciate that..but before i came back, he did tell me that he would spend the whole of Thursday with me but guess wat? he went for his MLM thing at night..sighs..no matter what happened, we would always go out for dinner on Fridays but now bcos he is so busy with his MLM thing, that Friday is no longer a day for us..:( I dont mind coz he would meet me much later at my house after his thingy but today is no longer the case…i jus feel so ignored by him and neglected..:( And tomorrow? well, he is not meeting me coz he has an appointment in the day and can only meet me much later? Aint complaining so much since i have a work stuff to do in the day but am jus unhappy that me being neglected…

We no longer do the activities like going to Sentosa, dinner or watch movies anymore jus bcos he is so busy with his MLM thing..it is a good thing that he is looking far to earn more $$..but the con part is no time for me…Kinda affecting my mood for the day….:((

Beijing - First Encounter!

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Right now I am at Beijing and in one of the motel chains here..Hmm..nothing sleazy about the motel..a pretty well-known motel in China, with many chains all around the country..Pretty clean toilet and room so it is not as bad as I had imagined it to be..But the location isn’t that well..Looks a bit dangerous so am back in my room at 8pm right after dinner with my Chinese colleague..Kinda sharing the room with her but a bit strange as it is a double-bed and not twin..Hmm..feel kinda strange to share a double-bed with a stranger..If it is with my B, that wouldn’t be a problem or with J from work since I know her so well..But now, it is sharing with someone whom am not close with..so am still trying to get past that..

But seriously I dunch quite like the place..Firstly it is super duberb polluted with the whole city looking foggy every time, even at nite..And the taxi drivers..boy are they rude and dirty! And they all speak Chinese with no single knowledge of English..Gosh..i wonder how the ang-mohs are going to deal with it when they come for the Olympics next year! And they so-just spit outside the taxi without even bothering about peeps walking around! Gosh! Secondly the place is not so equipped with infrastructure..Unlike Bangkok, where I totally feel at home even though the peeps there also do not speak English..alrights, they speak simple english or even if they don’t, they understand what you are talking about..Over here..it is a NO NO when u speak English man..*sighs* Talking about infrastructure, yes, there’s no MRT sorta thing and you have to get to everywhere by taxi which is not encouraged if your Chinese, like myself aint good..coz the taxi drivers do not know everywhere! So practically you cant go anywhere if you do not stay near any malls…:(

Thirdly, all the TV Channels are showing BORING Chinese shows! Probably the hotel that me staying in which do not have cable so all local channels which are superb boring as well..:( Sighs..i miss my AXN!! HBO!!! MTV!!! Nickelodeon!!

My GM told me to stay with my Chinese colleague coz it is nearer to my Beijing office..well I don’t think so..The original hotel which I have booked for myself is so much nearer to the office man! But again, it might be a blessing that am staying with her since she can converse really well in Chinese and that solves my transportation problem on taxi..:)

Now it is like 10.16pm over here and boy I cant wait for Wednesday to be here..cant wait to get onto my 0005 Thursday midnight flight to fly back to Singapore, to familiarity, to my cozy bed, to my Ah B and of course to my beloved baby!!! ☺ Only a day here and am already missing him..whenever I get the free time, I would b thinking what is he doing back in Singapore….:)

Baby I miss you!!!!!!!!! Muaks!! :*

ANG MOH BF SIGHTED!

Monday, September 10th, 2007

This morning took the SQ flight to Beijing and boy was I glad that I am able to catch a SQ flight coz it is like 6.5 hours from SIN to BEJ! Can imagine that I would die if you ask me to catch those China airlines where I don’t have entertainment and would have to bear with all the noisy Chinese folks!

On my flight, lots of Singaporeans on business trips and ang mohs as well and there’s this Chinese National gal with her ang moh bf..goodness I cant stand her! She is like purposely trying to show off her bf right in front of me..standing in front of me with her bf to discuss about some English ads in the magazine speaking in her fluent English..god! can die lor..who the hell cares that she has an ang moh bf man?! I don’t give a damn..Firstly her English is not that damn fluent as compared to Sporeans, even though it was really good for a Chinese national..Secondly, she is not good-looking..nice features but a bit out of shape..Thirdly, her bf is not damn good looking lor..so what is there to show off?! I don’t understand man..But hey I know to her having an ang moh bf in China is a huge thing..even though I seriously don’t care..though she was seriously showing off in front of me..ahaha..
