My days after a shit job are definitely more meaningful than serving a boss like a slave and ended up not being appreciated and being accused of a bad hand-over. The boss has no people management skill, not to mention his pathetic interpersonal relationship skill. Now I have no doubt all about the high turn-over, why ex-employees ignore calls from the office number and would rather not mentioned they have ever been in this company at all. This is serious, and this company (especially the boss) should certainly qualify to be in the top 10 blacklisted companies in Singapore.
Anyway enough complaining about that, it is all history. I must say on the last day, I almost screamed at the boss for his desperate, unreasonable and demanding behavior. I'm not going into details as some things are better left untold.
Time spent with my friends are 1000 times much happier than a day at the office. This afternoon, I have done my laundry, researched online about laptop (though still undecided) and made egg mayo sandwiches - pretty happy that I did all that in a few hours.
My biased view towards Toshiba is somehow hindering me from considering Dell, Acer, HP, etc... I don't know why, but after using Richard's (my ex-boss) very old Toshiba Portege machine while he loaned me in London, somehow I felt like I have a debt to repay - To get myself a new Toshiba Portege machine. I know this is hilarious but it is true. I am immensely attracted to that model, and even though the price is a bit steep... I'm praying I can get a good deal on the last day at Sitex.
By the way, John Little Sale is on and unfortunately spending cannot be curbed... I blew a 100 bucks, but mainly on health supplements! Ohh, so did Lisi... Poor us, whenever we go out shopping, we just have to spend!! :(

We lost 5 of us
Am I blind or something.. now it said only 780 posts...! I can't believe I see ghost.
Anyway, never mind about the number, they aren't really important. Today, my mood sank when I watched the news on the bus. 5 bodies found. The 5 Singaporeans whom went Cambodia for the Dragonboating event were drowned. I couldn't help but somehow feel that loss.
That horrible way of dying - drowning... That is so so scary! Tell me when you're struggling for air, for something to hold on but couldn't find any. Tell me when you try so hard to swim but only have your muscles failing. Tell me when you feel totally breathless and weak, unable to save yourself. Tell me when all the happy moments and thoughts of loved one suddenly flashed across your mind. Tell me when you do not even have the chance to tell them you love them and say goodbye.
Sigh. I feel for them. And at the same time, having joined dragonboating for a short period of time, I do really think that it is a tough sports. Even the best swimmers can drown, so why are people not given life vests. And when I think of the snorkeling trip I had without a life vest, I vow I will strangle the next person who's not giving me one!

800th
It's my 800th post!!! Yeah, what a nice number even though it isn't an accurate record of how much I have written since I have moved the majority of my entries from Blog City. Anyhow, this is where all should be...
I am finally 3 days away from the end of work, boy, am I glad! I can't predict the mess over the next few days, but guys, please pray for me that things will go smoothly and they will not bother me thereafter. No matter what, I can't wait for that day to arrive...
My knee is badly bruised. The other is green from my fall. This is bad, because even a fall off the bicycle during my downhill cycling at Pulau Ubin, I had the miraculous escape. But last Friday, I didn't have the slightest bit of luck. Even blindly typing an SMS could make me tripped. It was embarrassing. I had to bear that bloody wound and stinging pain for an hour on the bus without anything to clean it, I felt like dying... (not so bad lah, but actually I'm a very hygienic person so that could kill me if it takes too long) Back home, I had to endure the pain the whole night, it was horrible and even worse when I had to change my dressing - it hurts like hell!!!!!!
Saturday. Amazingly I could walk the whole day with the girls... I guess it was the company and I was able to enjoy that limping. It's Sunday now, my wound has dried up but it still hurts and I dare not even apply the medicated oil on it. It's swollen around the wound and I wish I can just have 3 days of MC!!!!!!
Please make the 3 days go FAST!!
Parents are outta town for 3 days!!! It is exciting to see how messy the house can get if my sister is living alone.. ahaha, luckily she has another two "useful" sisters! I have done my own laundry and another of theirs, and then went grocery shopping with my little sister to get our own next-day-breakfast and stuff to cook for today's dinner. Guess what we have done... it took us about 2 hours to do 3 dishes for 3 persons. Thanks to my sister's idea of making her own breadcrumbs and mashing the potatoes. But it turned out kinda nice:))
Parmesan chicken, buttered broccoli and breadcrumbs-covered-mashed potatoes.

November babies
Today is my sister's birthday, and we (a whole lot) are celebrating dear Grandma's birthday as well. I have no idea how old she is... arghh. I just realized my Facebook has too many birthday notifications since October. I found a group of people sharing my birthday week and now in November this particular week is as well.
Happy birthday BS...
Happy birthday Sis..
Happy birthday ah Ma!!!
Joy is back and we have been having fun so far... We met the first day she was back for her brother's wedding dinner, were at the brother's condominium for a swim & DVD, and visited the Tampines IKEA (which made us feel like in a foreign country) for yummy wings and that salmon dish I am addicted to!!
Angela's illness has affected me. Her infectious shopping disease has me began my online shopping spree. Fate somehow didn't encourage it at all as my online purchase was unsuccessful (not only once, but twice). And... so Angela became the saviour as well as my 损友 hahahaa!! She encouraged my shopping!!!
Anyway, I reckon it's good to be nice, totally nice to oneself once in a while. It doesn't happen very often. I shall hopefully put the online shopping spree to a stop and let me concentrate on more holidays planning and saving. Most importantly, work is coming to an end and Fab4 reunion is nearing and nearing with each passing day!!!

Weddings
Kavitha got married on the 27th October. For those whom have missed the glorious event, I have some pictures to share. By the way, this is the 1st Indian wedding I went.
I still remember the polytechnic days, we used to gossip about men, discussed about projects and even went ice-skating together. She had a fall and a little knock on her head then. But it all boils down to good memories. It has been years since she went on, studied, opened a shop with the other girls, worked, and now married, becoming a teacher... and maybe a mum (I don't know how soon)?!
A bride is always stunning on her big day! I am totally charmed. I can't help but you know, happiness is infectious, so are smiles. She has spreaded them that day to all of us who were there to witness the event. Congratulations, big girl!!
This coming Monday, I have yet another wedding to attend. This time, it is the usual Chinese banquet dinner... and again, this is another old friend. I'm looking forward to see some familiar faces at the table!

November... the first call
It has been a while... and too much have since happened.
I have grew an immerse dislike for my job, in fact, it is more than the job, it's the XXXX, XXXXXXX, ... I wonder how the others whom have left managed to get away scot-free and happy but I am pretty sure that relief is going to be a heavenly satisfaction. My boss, has not only once, but twice, not acknowledged my letter. In fact the two other persons I have "cc" it to have also not said anything. So what else can I do but to wait for the grand lord to be back and have it face-to-face. I could already imagine his face charcoal black, sprouted with his maggie-mee alike hair, and his bloodshot eyes. How eerie, like the thing, that is haunting our office... (sorry, no offence)... But it is true that our office is haunted, colleagues have been talking about the stories too much and now going to the toilet becomes a "who-is-the-quickest" competition.
Our 3 year old PC has fallen sick, in fact, it isn't a major problem. It's just a hardware problem and I reckon it's the graphic card but I couldn't troubleshoot it this time. I have helped it recovered so many times from illnesses but now, I felt so helpless. He's here, not dying, just sick and terribly awaiting for someone to help him. I wish HELP can come soon...
The other night, me and beloved Syndy went bar-hopping. In fact, it's the first time... we did 3 different places, had almost 6 drinks each. John and his housemate, Duncan, came along and it continued for a while. From 830pm to 230pm... I think we have done a pretty marvellous job. At our last stop, I met Mr Nokia (so I call him, as he works for Nokia). I enjoy meeting people, talking to them, but when someone invites you back on the first night you met him/her... What do you do?? I went with my instincts and left with my friends instead. Oh well.
Dearest Joy is back on Sunday, and it has been a forking long time since we met. I'm so looking forward to it as well as our December reunion which will be here too soon! Babes, here we gather again! Party! Drink! Xmas exchange! Gossip!
p.s: The fortune-teller in HK told me my luck will change for the better at the end of the year... I want to call it bullxxxx; somehow it's better to trust yourself and things in your own hands than to believe what someone so random has said.
