The cutest guy around.. Love his dimples (besides Chilam's).. Fantastic actor. One of the best - besides Tony Leung. 
Monday, December 25
Then you will say on that day, "I will give thanks to You, O LORD; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, & You comfort me. "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust & not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength & song, & He has become my salvation." Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation.

It's been raining continuously since Sunday. Fantastic! Wonder where did all those water came from! Yesterday's was really the heaviest! Floods all over.. They said it's the monsoon season. Dunno true or not.. Haven't heard of this word for so long.. Is this really really the monsoon season? Thought the "weather" has all shifted over the past years.. Haha..

Watching "The Apprentice" now. Being a busybody, I went to check on how many children he has.
Three marriages & five chidren. Hmmm.. 1st marriage - 3 kids - Donald Jr, Ivanka & Eric. 2nd marriage - Tiffany. 3rd marriage - Barron William. By the way, I think his daughter Ivanka is rather good-looking.

A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type & started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house & asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do. "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?"
The blonde said "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed & told her that the paint & other materials that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation & said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should, she was standing on it."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "& I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"& by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."
A blonde was going on a plane trip to New York. When the attendant came by & asked for her ticket, she told the blonde, "I'm sorry. Your ticket isn't for first class. Could you please move to your seat." The blonde replied, "Im blonde, I'm beautiful, & I'm going to New York."
The attendant said, "That's fine miss, but you'll have to go to your seat." The blonde responded again, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, & I'm going to New York."
This conversation continued, always with the blonde's same response. The attendant got so upset that she went to the captain & told him about the blonde. The captain went & whispered something in the blonde's ear & the blonde immeadiately got up & went to her seat in coach.
The attendant asked the captain how he got the stubborn blonde to move. He said, "I just told her that this part of the plane wasn't going to New York."

Undecided..
I can't decide.. I don't know whether I should move to a new blog..
It's come to the end of the year, today being the last day & now with just 15 more minutes to 2007..
On one hand I'm very comfortable with this present blog.. not much setting up required. On the other hand, I'm kind of "itchy" to do something different because I think I've kind of stereotyped my blog..
How? Sigh.. Indecisive me!

Romans 12:19-21
Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Hari Raya Haji

Many of my colleagues are Muslims. At least 8 of them. So I asked some of them about their practice for this day.
Hari Raya Haji is also called "The Festival of Pilgrimage". Seems it's celebrated by the Muslims on the 10th day of the last month of the Muslim calendar. This is an occasion celebrated marking the conclusion of the annual Haj - the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, when the pilgrims are given the title of Haji for men and Hajjah for women.
It's also called "The Festival of Sacrifice". Thanksgiving prayers are offered in the mosques. An animal (usually a sheep, goat or ox) is sacrificed whose meat is distributed among the relatives & the poor. In Singapore, if they wish to sacrifice a sheep, they usually have to order in advance. Can cost about $200 per sheep (from Australia).
Tragic!
Jz heard my brother telling my mum that it'll only be a matter of time that he & his wife will get a divorce. Sigh.. What a lousy piece of news at the end of the year.. How come they can't learn to manage their marriage leh? Really T R A G I C !!

Pastor's Saturday SMS
The joy of the Lord is your strength (Neh 8:10). Do not worry but commit everything to Him (Php 4:6). Stand & see the victory (Ex 14:13).
Verse of the day..
“[Jesus Comforts His Disciples] "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”- John 14:1-3
Laugh.. Laugh..
The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said.
The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could."
When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.
The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could."

"If you are too big to be willing to do little things, you are too little to be trusted with big things."
New Year's Resolutions..
High time to start thinking of my resolutions for the coming year. Likely will be a long list but hopefully not too unrealistic or unachievable! Will give serious thoughts to it.
In the past, I'll never ever do something like this cz I know I'll never follow through. But now that I've lost all my youth & vigour, I feel it's high time I start doing something for myself rather than always "living for others". Hopefully, it is not too late :)
You can do all you want for others but it is not necessary that they will do the same for you, especially when you need them most, they are always not around for you. Afterall, time & tide wait for no man.. so it's really time for me to take stock.

Confession of Pain
My colleague went to watch "Confession of Pain" this evening. Wanted her to feedback to me on how she rates the movie. Well, she liked it. In any case, she's an ardent fan of Tony so she's a little bias lah. But nonetheless, she claims that it's a good movie - one of the better ones though she still prefers "Infernal Affairs". Hmm.. who doesn't?!! Hehe..
Romans 12:9-11
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 13:11-12
And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
Vijay called..
Problems again! Even though I've rented out my flat legally, that silly neighbour nextdoor is still making so much fuss.. The officer called today to inform me that they have received a complaining email from him claiming that he has filed police report twice! Haiz.. Don't know real or not. But the complain is genuine lah.. So now got to forewarn these people in case they go check on them.
Holiday mood..
Apparently everyone is kind of in holiday mood already.. Some even took time to go for post-Christmas shopping during lunch. Boss is also ok with it.
Office now is 真空!Only 小猫三四只。。
Some more I'm not feeling well today :) Gastric pain, abdomen pain, tummyache.. Sigh!
Isn't it supposed to be "tis the season to be jolly?" How come I don't feel jolly at all leh??!

"End of Honeymoon"
Beeg-Boss came back to work today thus endeth the so-called "honeymoon period" :(
Actually not really true but better than having her around to stress everyone. So far so good today. Appears that she's pleased that RR has shown marked improvement. And she attributed the credit to me - for being a "good boss" to him. Hehehe..
And I'm also helping to handle her clients for the 2 critical projects - RCA & IA. I actually felt some job satisfaction lately cz I think I'm doing ok. Just don't like the fact that... Hmmm.. Haiz..
What shall I say? 既来之则安之again? 叹!!

Bumped into ex-small-boss again!
This afternoon while out on lunch with RR, we bumped into her & her husband, just about to finish their lunch. Had some small talk, then they "rushed off". Kind of "superficial" leh.. Don't know how come our paths cross so often of late :0)
Sean Lau


Seems he is very down-to-earth & easy to get along. Happily married to his wife, Amy Kwok, 1991 Miss Hong Kong. A very compatible couple.
Has a great sense of humour too. Some years back when asked about having kids, he said should he have a son, he will call him Andy Lau. Haha.. 

Besides all the wonderful TV series, he's also acted in numerous good movies. He's really a pleasure to watch.
His "The Greed of Man" is presently showing on cable TV. It's one of the better TVB productions. Rather violent but it's a all-star cast. Rarely will find such production & storyline anymore. Either too old, left or died :)
New Blogger
This new version is really more convenient. Not as time-consuming as publishing is almost instantaneous. Putting up of pix is also easier. Posting is now a breeze. Plus it has the added capability of changing colours for the fonts. Cool! Think there are other new features, but got no time to explore.
Thinking of moving blog by year end liao.. Jz that I'm so used to this blog & everything's already set up. To start another blog requires more time & effort. But need to 迎新弃旧 leh.. In preparation for the new year.. 旧的不去,新的不来!

Today's Boxing Day!
This is the Day after Christmas. It is not celebrated in Singapore (as in it's not a public holiday) but its origin came from England. Since Singapore was once a British colony, some of us would like to keep this tradition (excuses.. excuses..) 
So how to celebrate this day? Well, found some "instructions" online -
STEP 1: Attend a sporting event.
STEP 2: Remember those who have provided a service to you during the year. The postal delivery person, the newspaper delivery person, & employees of your household or business should be remembered with a tip, bonus or gift basket.
STEP 3: Remember those in need. Tradition has it that on Boxing Day in Victorian England, the poor went from house to house bearing boxes that were filled by compassionate home owners with food, clothing & gifts. Give canned goods, clothing or your time to organizations that help the needy.
STEP 4: Go shopping. Shopping is a popular Boxing Day activity, & the malls are usually filled with people taking advantage of after-Christmas bargains.
STEP 5: Celebrate with friends. Provide food & drink, or organize a potluck get-together for friends & family. Make it low-key, as Boxing Day should be less hectic & more relaxing than Christmas Day.

AMK issues
Just found out the housing agent didn't transfer the utilities account to the tenants. How inefficient can one get? She promised both parties that she'll get it done but apparently didn't. Haiz.. Who has time to do follow-up. Imagine I only found out after so long.. since March leh!
Tenants called last week to inform that water heater brokedown. So had to get them a new one. Told them I've no time to do it so they need to go settle it themselves. Good thing they are pretty problem-free tenants. Phew!

Christmas Dinner
Had Christmas dinner at HongKong Cafe.. Well, at least these people take the initiative to arrange for one. Mummy's happy. Very full. Had been eating a wee bit too much of late. Really think I'm now a glutton. Must stop this else..
New Year's resolution - To lose some weight? Physically & mentally? Hahaha.. Wanted to follow my brother to go teach in China. Too bad I don't qualify. Sob! Anyway, seems the pay is also not that fantastic. At least not for an overseas posting.

December 25, 1987
Yes, I was baptised on this day. That's 19 years ago? Yes. Praise the Lord. Thank God for my salvation. But do I get to keep it for good? And what's happened to me in these 19 years? Only God knows.
19 years of struggle is a long time. I really do not want to be like you-know-who who had to wonder in the wilderness for 40 years! Don't think I can survive another 20 years..
In Year 2007, I MUST put an end to all my years of wondering.
I pray to be out of my rut in my 20th-year of Christian walk. Christmas 2007 MUST be a significant one. Amen!

One of Curie's favourite verses -
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
(James 4:7-8)

Seven Deadly Sins ?
Most people understand the list of the “seven deadly sins” to be:
Read Proverbs 6:16-19 which declares:
- pride
- envy
- gluttony
- lust
- anger
- greed
- sloth
Read Proverbs 6:16-19 which declares:
“There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
(1) haughty eyes,
(2) a lying tongue,
(3) hands that shed innocent blood,
(4) a heart that devises wicked schemes,
(5) feet that are quick to rush into evil,
(6) a false witness who pours out lies, and
(7) a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.”
Demise of Ex-Cell Leader's Dad
Received a sms from her that her dad passed away unexpectedly at 12.34am today. Felt sorry for her. Will probably attend the wake tomorrow. Hope that she's not too badly affected.
It's tragic that such things happen. But looking at it from another angle, it's good to be home with the Lord.
In other instances, like my friend's favourite grandpa who was unsaved, passed away some years back, it was pretty devastating for her. It was a double-blow because he actually passed away on her birthday. It's really kind of hard to take :(

Christmas Eve
Feel very lethargic today. It's Christmas Eve & I've got no programs at all! No mood to do anything. Think I've lost all purpose in life. So sad.
Having problems with everything, especially with this blog. Can't put up pix. Decided to switch to their new version since they kept prompting me to do so. So now instead of logging in with my hotmail, I need to log in with gmail. Haiz.. Problematic!
TV spoilt, aircon spoilt, fridge spoilt, VCRs spoilt, me spoilt.
Last night heard that brother will be leaving for Shanghai on Jan 2. He'll be teaching English to the primary school kids there. For the first 2 months, they will put him up at a golf resort. Haha.. Good for him. Never imagined that he would end up as a teacher. Wonder how his wife will cope with the daughter in his absence. The daughter sticks to him like glue.
Oh, just remembered that today is Curie's baptism. Seems it's at 8.30am in the morning at her church's outdoor pool. Too bad I didn't manage to attend. Very happy for her though.

许纯美,何许人也?
许纯美出身贫寒,19岁遭富豪强暴并下嫁,共经历三次婚姻。如今的许纯美骨瘦如柴,体重不足40公斤,化浓妆,自称“上流社会”,在媒体面前搞怪调笑,早已不是从前的这位标志佳人。
Her younger days & now at 49.
纯美 means "pure & beautiful". 不只是肯定或是讽刺,哈哈!She was badly beaten up by her latest boyfriend who's 25 yrs her junior. She went through plastic surgery recently & after that she claims she's prettier than Vivian Chow & Penny Hou. I think the above is her post-surgery pix.
身份一:身家超过百亿台币、住台北最好的别墅区、出入台湾最豪华的酒店、一月购衣费就超过百万台币的台湾“上流社会”女富豪。
身份二:因为抛弃亲身女儿,而被全台湾媒体追访,其丑陋形象和无耻辩驳,引来公众愤慨,却意外导致电视收视率飙升,进而被各大台湾电视台争相邀请出镜的台湾娱乐圈另类明星。
身份三:接过三次婚,自爆曾被老公捉奸在床,以“前任去世丈夫很帅,只能接受帅哥”为由,专泡帅哥男模,却屡屡上当受骗,两度被年轻男友骗走千万台币,更遭遇家庭暴力,但依旧好色不改的49岁爱情白痴。
身份四:自认貌美如仙,实际形如枯槁;满口台湾腔国语,却自称演讲冠军;标榜时尚尖端,可被旁人嘲笑为“依然活在五六十年代的人”,依旧每日我行我素的超级自恋女人。
身份五…台湾媒体称她为“上流美”。
她自己坚称说长得像林青霞,后来又说像王祖贤外,旁人都知道她是个身高160多厘米,体重却只有35公斤,一张瘦脸、两个高颧骨、突兀的大眼睛加龅牙的49岁女人;她自称演讲一流,能歌(台语歌)擅舞(国标舞)外,谁都知道她满口台湾普通话,唱歌一般舞姿做作;她说她很有钱,可有钱为什么还来演艺圈混呢?看来,许纯美唯一能和娱乐圈沾边的就是她特有的笑星(台湾称谐星)气质了。可是许纯美却从来不认为自己搞笑,而当她一本正经的做出这些原本搞笑之极的举动时,全台湾的电视观众都为之“疯狂”。现在就让许纯美自己来说说她在娱乐圈的“生存原则”
。
许纯美的另一大特点就是毫不掩饰她奇怪的爱情观,“金钱和帅哥”和这样一个近半百的单身女人联系在一起,给人以不伦不类的感觉,可她始终要将这些挂在嘴边,这种物质至上的心态,和毫不掩饰的吹嘘,让观众可谓是恨到牙根发痒却又不能弃之不顾。

身份二:因为抛弃亲身女儿,而被全台湾媒体追访,其丑陋形象和无耻辩驳,引来公众愤慨,却意外导致电视收视率飙升,进而被各大台湾电视台争相邀请出镜的台湾娱乐圈另类明星。
身份三:接过三次婚,自爆曾被老公捉奸在床,以“前任去世丈夫很帅,只能接受帅哥”为由,专泡帅哥男模,却屡屡上当受骗,两度被年轻男友骗走千万台币,更遭遇家庭暴力,但依旧好色不改的49岁爱情白痴。
身份四:自认貌美如仙,实际形如枯槁;满口台湾腔国语,却自称演讲冠军;标榜时尚尖端,可被旁人嘲笑为“依然活在五六十年代的人”,依旧每日我行我素的超级自恋女人。
身份五…台湾媒体称她为“上流美”。

许纯美的另一大特点就是毫不掩饰她奇怪的爱情观,“金钱和帅哥”和这样一个近半百的单身女人联系在一起,给人以不伦不类的感觉,可她始终要将这些挂在嘴边,这种物质至上的心态,和毫不掩饰的吹嘘,让观众可谓是恨到牙根发痒却又不能弃之不顾。

Pastor's Saturday sms
You are the head & not the tail, above & not beneath (Deu 28:13). You are blessed coming in & blessed going out (Deu 28:6).
"Family Dinner" with Jasmine & Henry
Yes, sister's daughter is married. Went for dinner tonight. Initially told us dinner's on Dec 6, then changed to Dec 23. Venue initially was supposed to be Riverview Hotel, now changed to Garden Hotel.. And we were only told of the change 2 days back. Sigh!
Met her husband for the first time tonight. Quite a decent guy. Think they both have 夫妻相 :)
Also met my nephew & his wife & kid tonight. Think we have not seen him for eons! And it's the first time we are being introduced to his wife (we were not invited to his wedding). His wife also seems quite decent. She's a church worker - childcare teacher with the church. Their baby boy is 2 yrs old. Blur-looking but very chubby & cute. Looks rather "well-bred". Musically-inclined too.. When the church's children choir sang, he was listening so intensely to them.. Hmmm.. Not bad at all. And guess what? His baby's supposed to call me 姨婆!Can die, right! Sounds sooooo old!!!
All in all, dinner was better than expected. Had Asian buffet there. Ate so much, especially fresh prawns. Hehe.. Think I've gained 2-3 kg, and added tons of cholestorol.
Sister & mum were the happiest. Sis finally saw her daughter happily settled & mum saw all her grandchildren & great grandchild. Haha.. and my 4-yr old niece is now an aunt to a 2-yr old nephew (my grand-nephew). Woahahaha..

Lunch with Angela
Had lunch with Angela on Wednesday. Have not seen her since last year! She's started working for this online university since August this year. Seems it's a very prestigious set-up & everyone there has impeccable qualifications. Wow!
She almost flipped when she heard that I turned my boss down initially citing the reason as not knowing how to do powerpoint charts. Woahahaha.. She just stared at me in amazement..

A tough week..
Actually I thought this would be a peaceful & relaxing week because: (1) it's close to Christmas; (2) boss is on leave - out of town with her family; (3) her secretary is also on leave; (4) most things are pretty "settled".
Surprise, surprise!! On Monday, received a call from HY & that's it! "Honeymoon week" is OVER! Another problem now. Just dunno when this will ever end. AL really left quite a bit of xxxx. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, it's still a hugh big fat.. S I G H !
Feel so like quitting cz of all these unexpected nasty turns. Then again feel that I've done so much & gone so far.. Such a waste to give up now. Am actually quite pleased with myself so far. Hehe..
Aiya.. dunno lah.. It's already Friday & long weekend's coming. Before I know it, everyone will be back from their holidays. It's gonna be work, work & more work all over..

Is asthma contagious?
I've been feeling pretty asthmatic of late. Every morning when I wake up, I feel that I have problems breathing & I sound wheezy.. RR has been asthmatic all these years & especially during the haze period he had asthma attacks very frequently. Have been working very closely with him. Now I am having all these wheezing sensations.. not only in the mornings, sometimes even in the middle of the day, or even now.. Xiao liao.. Mayday mayday!!! Help!
Cried in office :(
Because of V-girl. But she's not the sole cause. It's the work attitude of the staff. Never expected that I'd have problems in this area - people. It's really the last on my list. I was angry cz I felt she was disrespectful; upset bcz of her indifference; sad as I felt unappreciated; disappointed with their mentality.
Told her that my kindness has been abused. If this continues, I would feel that I'm not a good "head" & perhaps it's high time I leave. Wanted so much to help them improve their working environment but apparently I've not been too successful. In fact, I've failed utterly :(

我在暴饮暴食。。
When I went back to work in Sept, I was very stressed & lost my appetite. My diet became highly
irregular & I think I actually lost a bit of weight. Then eventually I regained my appetite but now my diet is still irregular. I skip breakfast, take lunch around 1pm & dinner around midnight. Now, I put back all the weight that I've lost & likely is heavier than before.
I'm now a glutton & a 大肥婆!Hmmm.. 大肥婆 sounds terrible.. Think I'd rather be a 大胖妞. Hehehe..

Laptop problems again :(
Of late it keeps shutting down on its own again.. Then after that I have problems re-starting it. Gets kicked out of the system.. chatting halfway & suddenly gets cut off. Blogging halfway & all of a sudden black-out :( Don't know if it's because it's over-heated. Hope it's not going to die on me.. like both my maomaos..
Think I've not gotten over their deaths. Come to think of it, think I still haven't gotten over my daddy's too.. Haiz..

922nd Posting
This is my 922nd posting. Just wondering if I'll reach my 1000th posting by year-end. Thinking of closing off this blog. Hmmm..
My Mummy & the National Anthem
I really don't know what to say. Do you know that whenever you hear the National Anthem you are supposed to stand to attention? Well, I guess many youngsters don't that practise that these days or they are not even aware of this.
But my dear mummy.. I really don't know how to describe her.. Simple-minded? Unthinking? Or patriotic??? Each time she hears the National Anthem, no matter what she's doing or where she is, she will stop eveything & immediate stand at attention! Great, right? Don't know who was the one who taught or told her that!!? Don't know whether to be proud to have a mum like that or to cry.. Sigh!
But nonetheless, I must still feel good that she displays such absolute patriotism to the country. Perhaps the government should give her an award or something :)

Doanld Trump


Welcome to Doomsville
I think my blog is becoming very boring & too depressing. I need to stop this trend soon or I'll be destroyed forever.
So I've decided to change to a cheery picture. Hopefully it'll do some good to my present disposition. I've been a positive person all my life so I'll continue to be one. However, I believe being positive is no longer enough. I really need some great restructuring in my life.
I need to take stock of my life. This will be my resolution for the new year. 2006 is history. Will start a new chapter in 2007.. by the grace of God.

Sis wants me to take note of these verses
2 Peter 1:10-12
Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;
for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.
Therefore, I will always be ready to remind you of these things, even though you already know them, and have been established in the truth which is present with you.
Psalms 32:8
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
Isaiah 55:8-9
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Typically Singaporean
Went to Banu's place this evening for her engagement. Seems that for their culture, engagement is to be held at the female's side. They had the exchange of rings. Her ring looked very pretty. The dinner was held at the void deck. They had to do it in the next block as there was a funeral wake held at their block.
This is so typically Singaporean. Multi-racial society. Chinese wake with all the "cheng cheng chiang" & next block with a joyous Indian engagement function.

Banu's Engagement
It's pretty Banu's engagement today. I sprained my knee while on my way there. Took a cab, met up with Jojo at Jurong East MRT & reached there around 8pm.
Saw Faz too. She looked so different. In fact, both of them looked different. Faz's more matured now. Her son's already 3 yrs old. Can still remember those days she was with us in the office. Single, cute & adorable. Banu's sooo pretty this evening. Looked so different from the daily office look. She said she's so nervous. We were all teasing her.
Out of 15 persons she invited from office, guess how many turned up? Sigh.. one-third. Really feel sad about the situation. Nevertheless, it's a happy occasion for her. Heck care these people lah!
Here's wishing Banu baby all the happiness..

My Job (2)
Boss will be away until after Christmas.
Yesterday, she said she would like to confirm me earlier - to be counted in for this year's plans. But I appeared indifferent about it & she didn't seem happy. She wanted me to go tell HR that as I'm doing such a fantastic job & she's very pleased with me, she would cut short my probationary period. I told her that we should talk after she returns from Perth as once confirmed I'll need to give 2 months' notice as opposed to the present 2 weeks. She then said, "I'll just confirm you first lor. Even if you should decide to leave, I can quickly find someone in to replace you lor." Sigh! So what's new??!

D I S C
During the teambuilding session last month, they did a DISC test with us. It's supposed to be in a "non-work" situation. My result.. I was an "I". But I honestly don't think so leh. So this morning I did another test on my own online. And this time, I'm more "S" than anything. Next trait is a "C", then "D", then "I"!!! Good gief! An entire reversal. From a ISCD, I became a SCDI. Hahaha.. Wonder what that means.. Hmmm..

2 Blonde Jokes.. Jz for fun.. Hope no one minds..

The blonde said "How about 50 dollars?" The man agreed & told her that the paint & other materials that she might need were in the garage. The man's wife, inside the house, heard the conversation & said to her husband, "Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?" The man replied, "She should, she was standing on it."
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money. "You're finished already?" he asked. "Yes," the blonde answered, "& I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats." Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.
"& by the way," the blonde added, "it's not a Porch, it's a Ferrari."

The attendant said, "That's fine miss, but you'll have to go to your seat." The blonde responded again, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, & I'm going to New York."
This conversation continued, always with the blonde's same response. The attendant got so upset that she went to the captain & told him about the blonde. The captain went & whispered something in the blonde's ear & the blonde immeadiately got up & went to her seat in coach.
The attendant asked the captain how he got the stubborn blonde to move. He said, "I just told her that this part of the plane wasn't going to New York."
可以选择是一件好事
It's good to be able to choose. Unfortunately, more often than not, I'm always left with no choice :(
Come to think of it, hmmm.. I think I did choose afterall.. I chose to be put in a "no choice" situation! Sigh.. That's a really lousy decision. Woahahaha..
I always say, "If can choose, must choose." You'll regret when you want to choose also cannot choose.
No choice now liao.. How leh?
