452: Back to blogging :)

I quit blogging for a couple of months, have no idea why. I think I should start again. I think it's important to me. I used to keep a diary for a few years when I was a kid. I used to love writing. But now I don't. I don't know why. I think I'm tired. But I'll try. :)

Went to the zoo this morning. He was grouchy and grumpy and sleepy for having to wake up early. The zoo has become boring for us. Same old things all the time. No changes. Boring place. I think we'll have to visit the zoo once every 2 years for it to be interesting for us.

I'll be doing back-end admin work soon. I think it's good for my career. But I'm afraid of the changes. I'm not one to adapt to changes quickly.

We applied to ballot for a flat here at Toa Payoh. I really really really hope we can get a ballot queue number that can allow us to choose the flat that's just opposite my parent's place. I think it's a good move for our relationship. We're moving on. :)

I think I've matured quite a lot. I think I've grown up.

Moved. :)

451: Looking on the bright side :)

Let's all look forward to work okay! Let's all keep up our cheerful spirit, just like last time! We know there are so many changes now. Every word that they say, we have to listen and follow, even if we don't like it. But we are all together in this! :)

Enough about that. I don't have much things to update on my life, except that I feel that I'm actually at a very happy point in my life. We are on the search for an HDB flat! My parents don't mind, I think. I told my ma, my ma told my sis. I think my pa knows too.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! :):):):):)

450: Babies

I wonder how Xiao Ah Min or Xiao Meng Meng will look like.

I think they'd be round round and filled with love. ♥

449: Bloodsuckers

They are bloodsuckers who want to suck us dry. We are underpaid, overworked, and unappreciated.

But they expect even more out of us. 

How can you expect our sales to be as good as last year? Hello, have your watched the news or read the papers? The world right now isn't economically healthy you know?

Or do you need someone to drill that into your thick skulls?

If we are "skiving", as you said, the sales would be of average about $2,000 a day.

When it comes to setback, you threaten us. We only feel demoralized. You should find solutions and encourage us, so we will continue to fight as a team.

We fight for you, you don't appreciate us.

From now on, you are the bosses, we are the staff, there will be a wall between us.

As management, you fail.

448: Date

Today is my off day, so met the BF here at Toa Payoh. Went to walk around in search for black socks, because tomorrow will be the first day for me to wear the new uniform. We went around and around but stupid me forgot that there is a Bata shop here, until we saw it, then we dashed inside and bought 4 pairs. Then we had rojak and ban mian for dinner, and after that he came over to my place and we chose the photos that we took in Genting that we were going to get printed.

I'm going to buy some photo albums andprint lots of photos to keep them as memories, the old fashion way. Because we may forget the events that pass us by, but photos can be kept to preserve the precious memories. :)

447: Back from Genting! :)

Returned back from Genting last night. Reached home and about 7 plus. The BF came and stayed over another night. He just left. I think this is the longest period of time I've spent with him. From Tuesday until today. Anyway, going to meet him later again, after he's unpacked everything. :)

Took about 270 photos. :) But am lazy to upload the photos into blogspot, uploading photos into blogspot is a chore. :( But uploading into Facebook is easy, but the limit is only 200 photos, so I've uploaded only 200.

448: Update

Been looking forward to this day for quite some time, because we're going to Genting tomorrow! And today is the first of my 5 days break from work. Work has been hectic, because of the school holidays. But sometimes we wonder, why are so many people still going to crowded places like the zoo, when the germs of H1N1 are flying around? People are sneezing and coughing but I don't think anyone seems to care, except for the number of people I can count on one hand, who are wearing masks to the zoo.

No more talk about the workplace now, because I'm freeeeee!!!!!!!

Later I'll be meeting my partner, we'll be going to pray at the temple for a safe trip. And we're going to the money exchange and also buy some stuff, then he'll be staying at my place tonight and we'll leave for Genting at 6am tomorrow morning!

447: 20th June East Coast Park Outing

Went to East Coast Park with Orlina, Jia Xian and Joey yesterday. LOTS OF FUN! :)

446: 19th June Crab Dinner

Went to have dinner with the Kidzworld staff, Auntie Eng Hwa, Auntie Belle, Su Yi, You Tai, Zhi Xiong and plus me and Huiling at a seafood restaurant in AMK. I LOVE THE CRAB! The pincher was the size of my hand! 

443: Our new furry friend!

We have a new friend! Auntie Alice found her yesterday at our shop's backyard. I assume it's a female because when I lifted it's tail I couldn't see any "thing" down there. She must have lost her mother during the heavy rain yesterday. She's a little baby squirrel and she's freaking adorable! I'm in love all over again. We fed her some food and gave her some water and left her in the rat's trap last night before we left. Because we didn't have any place else to keep her.

Someone let her go this morning. I understand we have to do that because squirrels are wild animals and shouldn't be kept as domestic pets. So they let her go. But in the evening, she came back! She must have been unable to find her mother or family and was starving from running about the whole day, and came back to us because we gave her food. The poor thing. Once again, we gave her some food and water. We absolutely HAD to take photos. And I put her inside the Merlion Light Up Pen box and put the box inside my stupid Venus Fly Trap Project (don't ask about that, everyone at work knows that it's a huge failure).

I hope that she'll be warm and snuggly and full of love when I arrive at work tomorrow. She's something new to look forward to. I've decided to name her 小毛. Nobody's keen on that name. I have no idea why.

PHOTOS! :)

442: Shopping with Ah Khiam

Went shopping with Ah Khiam in town just now. Walked around and around and around. My purchases were 1 tube top, 1 nail colour and 1 top coat, and 4 bras. Haha. ☺

441: Random Part 2

It's 10:27 now in the morning. I uncovered the Lipton tea bag box. I thought the beetle bug thingy was dead. But just when I was about to get something to remove its corpse, it started walking away, like it was trying to escape! 

So I covered it up with the Lipton box again, and this time I put my iPod on top of the box, because I'm now charging my Omnia.

Am going shopping with Ah Khiam Khiam later! Yippeeee!!!! ☺

440: Random Part 1

A beetle bug thingy just flew and landed right beside my laptop. I found a Lipton tea bag box and made my sis cover the beetle bug thingy with it. And I put my Omnia on top of the box.

439: Plans

My partner and I are going for a Genting trip next month!

HOORAY!

At first my family was like, "我们也要去!!!"

I think they sensed my disapproval straight away. Because they shut up after that. I want to go with my partner and romantic romantic lor! They can come with us the next time, but this time around. There will only be the 2 of us. I INSIST.

YAY I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!! ☺

438: Hello World

Oi blogger, I've been neglecting you again. Sorry lor. 

I've got motivation to blog again. :)

Okay, here are the latest updates on my life. I had 2 days of MC on Tuesday and Wednesday, because I've been feeling sick since last week. And I didn't really want to go to work anyway, so I went to the doctor. I didn't realise that I was running a fever until the lady told me after she took my temperature, which was 37.7 degrees celcius. The doctor asked if I wanted 1 day or 2 days MC, I was like, "Errr...." The doctor said, "Give you 2 days lah, because you have a fever. You must let the fever clear up first." I went, "Ookaaaaay...." But inside my heart I was bouncing like a hyperactive bunny. I know you must be thinking that I'm not really sick right, I just didn't want to go to work. But I was sick okay. But a part of me didn't want to go to work. I guess that part has always been there, teehee. 

So, 2 days of MC, plus 2 days of off. I'm now on my 2nd off day. Went to meet Elaine, Auntie Eng Hwa and Auntie Su at Bugis for lunch. We went to a nonya buffet restaurant called Chilli Padi which was located opposite the National Library. The food was alright, but I particularly liked the nonya kuehs. And after sitting there and talk and eat and talk and eat for about 3 hours, we went and walked around until Auntie Su had to go for her aerobics class, then me and Elaine and Auntie Eng Hwa walked around some more and then we went our seperate ways.

I took the bus home. I was sitting near the front of the bus, then an old man boarded the bus. He looked around for a seat, but all the seats were taken, so being the nice, considerate, polite, courteous and adorable citizen that I am, I gave up my seat to that old man. At first he said, "不用啦,你坐." But seeing that I was making no move to sit down myself, he gladly took the seat, thanking me. A few stops later, he got up and asked me to sit down, saying that he was going to alight at the next stop. So I plumped my ass on the seat again. While waiting for the bus to reach the next stop, he stood beside me and told me, "谢谢你，你真的很好。有些人都不管我。很少人会让位给我。" I politely smiled back at him. Then he said, "你知道吗？我 80 岁了还在做工。" I was like, "Har? 真的啊？" He said, "对lor，看不出hor？" I was flabbergasted not by how I didn't believe he was 80, but by why the hell was he still working at the old age of 80 years.

Then the bus stopped, so he got down. After he alighted, he turned around and with a huge smile on his face, waved me goodbye. I waved back too. Too bad our friendship ended there, I would have liked to know him better. He sort of made my day, and in a way, I think I did the same for him. ☺
