Black "Bread" disease...

Just when I thought I finally see the light, darkness suddenly fall upon me again... Grrr....

I am currently dealing with a Black "bread" project... I have lost count of the number of Black "bread" that I had made for the past dunno how many weeks... For the first time in my life, I think I am actually feeling sick of the color black... :(

I have been dealing so much with black "bread" that as I told my colleague this after I ate the sesame paste my colleague bought.

Me: You know, I think I got poisoned by the Black "Bread".

S: What makes you think so?

Me: I was eating the sesame paste in the pantry when the thought that the sesame paste looks like the black "bread" thingy that I am doing now comes across my mind.

S: -_-'''' I think you really got poisoned...

Cham... I hope I can finish this blackie business soon... I hope the black "bread" syndrome will go away soon...

Sometimes it is good to be Kiasi...

I was reading the headlines this morning about the death of the 5 National Dragon Boat paddlers. I feel quite sad for the families who lost their sons or brothers through this incident. I am still somewhat amazed that they actually went for the competition without wearing their life jackets. Being able to perform in a competition is important, but I feel that safety is still more important than anything else. After all, if you are safe and sound, there is still always another chance for you to take part in that competition again if you lost. If you are dead, there is nothing that you can do ever again...

Reading about the incident, it brought to my mind about a report that I read before saying that most of the time people who drown are those who can swim. It may be insensitive to say this but I guess it is most probably because people who can swim may be over confident of themselves and feel that they can do without their life jackets so it is during this time when mishaps happen. For those people who can't swim or who can't swim well, they are more kiasi so they will make sure they take full precautions to ensure that no mishap will happen to them. Or in some cases, they do not even engage in water sports so as to reduce the chance of anything unfortunate from happening.

I guess sometimes it pays to be a bit more kiasi...

I pity this woman..

I came across this thread in a forum about the blog of this woman whose husband leave her for another woman after 8 years of marriage. I really think that guy is a bastard because firstly, he is leaving her for another woman after 8 years of marriage. Secondly, his wife is pregnant during the point of time when he left her. Even though I may be reading the story from the wife side, the way she wrote it is so heart wrenching that I don't think that this is all just made up by the wife. Furthermore, there should be no reason why the husband should leave the wife especially when the wife is now pregnant. Is he able to sleep well at night without feeling guilty? Does he actually have a conscience at all to treat his wife this way?

I read from the forum that the plight of the wife had spread to other forums like HWZ. I heard those people even found out that the husband and the 3rd party is working in which bank and how the 3rd party looks like and etc... The wife posted some pictures of her husband and her in her blog before so everyone who went into the blog knows how her husband looks like. However, if I am not wrong, she had removed those photos already. I think the wife looks quite pretty... I bet it will take only very little time before the company where the guy and the 3rd party works in knows about this. Internet is really amazing... It reminds me of the things people in SPUG dig out about the boy who have the online ordering of Dunkin Doughnut business just from the internet...

Who knows may be one of these days, this story will come up in the newapapers..

Bootlicker...

I am sure that there is at least one or two bootlicker in the company no matter whether the company is big or small. For me, I cannot be bothered to be a bootlicker as I see no point in doing that. Being a person who rarely pay any attention or maybe you can say that I am not a very observant person, thus it must be damn obvious in order for me to notice this bootlicker's actions... :P

For the longest time, I have kept that question in my heart about suspecting that guy "por-ing" my director. However, I did not dare to ask anyone the question whether that guy is really "por-ing" my director or is it that they are really good friends to begin with.

After a certain "incident" that happened on friday, I finally decided to ask my 2 other colleagues who are quite close to me that question. "Is he por-ing our director?" One of my colleague look at me in amazement and replied " You mean it's so obvious that even you noticed?" I quoted the incidents that occured and told them that it's really damn obvious lor... I must be blind or really insensitive to think otherwise... I dare not ask my other colleagues about it as I know they are quite close to that guy. Since this 2 other colleague of mine are not as close to him, so I decided to ask them...

Wah... It's either I am getting good at observing or it's really obvious... I guess it's the later... What do you think? :P

Metal Thief in my Block!

It is becoming more and more common to wake up one day and find that some metal in your house or in your neighbourhood stolen. I remember a while back, a thief stole the joss stick urns outside my bf's house. That thief did not steal one or two, he stole the whole block's one...!

This time it's my block's turn to have metal stolen... The thief did not steal those urns, drain covers and etc. Instead, they stole... the cover from the rubbish chute!

In case you don't know, newer HDB flats have a centralised rubbish chute for residents to throw their rubbish into. The centralised rubbish chute is usually located near a lift. I was very surprised when I saw the rubbish chute without a "cover" when I was taking the lift. My KPO dad and mum had recce the whole block and found out that the thief stole the entire block's rubbish chute "cover". I bet they work in a group or else how can they carry so many "covers"?

They very brave arh... Not scare that someone will catch them in the act...

Flagging Down a Cab?

I have been taking a fair bit of cab back home after work recently. Actually it's not really a lot lah just that it's been quite a long time since I take cab home from work. With the cab charging more and more nowadays, it makes it quite hard for me not to feel a pinch if I take cab home from my work place. Taking cab home from my office will cost me about $18+. I feel that it's kind of expensive so most of the time I will rather spend more time taking bus and mrt instead of taking cab.

As I have been working late for the past few days, by the time I am ready to go home, I will be feeling too tired to make myself spend 1.5 hours by bus and mrt to go home. Instead, I decided to spend more and take a cab home instead. It is lucky that I later found out from my HR and finance that I can claim cab fare if I work until so late. Phew~!

With my taking of the cab home for the past few days, I came to one conclusion... I wonder who are those people who are complaining of expensive cab fares? If they really think it is expensive, then why is it so hard for me to get a cab? I tried flagging a cab along Alexandra Road for the past few days and I think it's almost impossible to flag down a cab. Mind you, I am not trying to flag down a cab during peak hours. I was trying to flag down a cab at 10pm! I thought it will be easy to flag down a cab then since it is after the peak hours but I am obviously wrong. I have to end up calling a cab which is not easy too since it is almost impossible to get through the call a cab HOTline. That line is really HOT lor... I spent 30 mins trying to get through the line and get a cab. Grrr... The next day when I had to take a cab home again, I automatically called a cab instead of trying to flag one down... It's just too troublesome... After all, my company is paying... So why not? :P

Long Time No See A&W...

My bf bought back A&W for me when he cam back to Singapore from Batam on friday. Hee... Wah... How I missed the curly fries from A&W... Their waffles with ice cream... Yummy... Too bad he can't buy waffles with ice cream back from there. I have been missing their food ever since they closed their last A&W store... So sad...

I was carrying the bag of food from A&W while walking in Orchard when this guy came up to me...

Guy: Excuse me Miss...

Me: (Looking at him in surprise because I definitely don't know him at all) Yes?

Guy: Is that A&W?

Me: Ya...?

Guy: Where did you get it?! (With his face lit up like he saw gold)

Me: Batam...

Guy: O... ok... Thanks... (Looking utterly crestfallen)

I think he is really funny... His expressions changed so much within minutes... :P

Working Overtime

I have been working until quite late for the past few days. In case you don't know, my work RARELY requires me to work late. The lastest that I had gone home previously was at around 9 plus. That was around 3 years ago when I was just on board and I was still not very sure of what to do with my work. Since then for the rest of the 3 years, the latest I have gone home is probably around 7 plus ba...

I worked until 10pm last night and 8+ this evening. I think it's really tiring... Ya... This words are coming out from someone who rarely OT so of course she will find it tiring lah... Told you I rarely OT liao mah... :P Sometimes I find that there's no point working late for the sake of working late. So if I know the work can wait, I will usually go home at around 5.30pm and most of the time it is on the dot... :P

I have no idea why but when I have work, it is LOADS of it. To make it worse, everything is urgent... So now everyone are chasing after me for the results. I have something that US needs by next week so by hook or by crook, I have to send it out by tomorrow. I am working on something that I have been working on for the past one week plus and I am only halfway through it. My colleague was already asking about it... I'm drowning in my work soon... Someone help!!! Sian... Work week is left with 2 days for me next week because of the Deepavali holiday and also I will be on course. I have no idea how am I going to finish up my work...

I still wonder how lots of people are able to work until so late everyday and still be able to drag themselves up from bed each morning and appear at work fresh. 佩服！佩服！

I hope my prediction that I will be able to leave from work at 6 plus is correct... I need a break badly...
