Posting for 24- 29 Dec (more Xmas Presents)

Finally have time to sit down and blog abt recent happenings. Had done some more e-scrapbooking to beautify my pics. haha

24 Dec

Met up with Fannie and her bf at Marina Square. "The Grasses" were supposed to join us but cant make it. Received a "very ikea" Xmas present from Fannie.

Now then I realised i did not took a pic of the present before i "disassemble" it. so no pic to show. Ooops.

We ate at Imperial Restaurant. In short, we just find their service pale in comparison to their rival -- Crystal Jade. Unless u are a Tai-tai, u will then be treated like someone from the Imperial. The waitress who took our order sounded snobbish too. The three of us only ordered two main dishes and two side dishes, as the couple were not very hungry and the waitress was like commenting : "你们只叫了一碗面?" .

The noodle I ate was too starchy , couldn't finish it. Well... can see I din enjoy my meal.


Went home around 5+pm and then went out with family for a free dinner (worth $32 each) at Organic Cafe Xperience (Dad had 4 tickets sponsored by his company).
Shall put up the Menu at a later date, after I had manage to get my scanner link to this notebook.
*Updates: Menu is attached below:




25 Dec

Met up with Flutterby for dinner at Citylink before we went to Muchuan to attend Monsters 2nd Birthday Celebration. Wanted to try out the New York New York Cafe but the queue was too long. So we had our dinner at the Ninja Restaurant instead.

(had been eating good food for the past few days.)

The service was not bad, much better than Imperial's, but could be better. The interiors of the Japanese Restaurant seems posh ; we initially tot that the food might be too expensive for our budget , but it was reasonable.

Flutterby and I exchanged xmas gifts and I received this:




Charm bracelet. Her creation!

I also given her something DIY and similar but din take a pic of it. hahaha.


Had not been to Monsters' performance for months, hence i din wanna miss their important performance. Can see that they really put in a lot of efforts for that night. Ah-du 还出动了他的“二奶”。

To link to their 2nd Anniversary, they prepared lots of duets and came up with medleys. I love medleys. hahah. As for duets, some of them are classic duets which we din hear them for a long time -- 天下有情人,流言。 Hmmm, 好怀旧哦。

I wondered which Monster came up with the idea of giving the audience a "How-well-U-Know-Monsters" quiz. I just passed it with a score of 4 out of 8. Flutterby got 1 mark. So, for the Chibaboms who are reading this, u can see the quiz wasn't tat easy...




More presents received. (click on the pic for a larger view) The purple hippo is a magnetic memo holder. My fav shade of purple!
Pearl necklace and xmas card were from Eileen. So sweet of her to buy "some beady stuff' (as she puts it) cos she knew I like them.

And on the bottom left, there is this Snoopy pin from Ximei which gives out flashing red & blue lights.



29 Dec

Had 2 great meals. One was the company lunch at Da Dong Dim Sum Restaurant. har gao, siew mai, carrot cakes.. . despite we only taking a piece of each , we were feeling full towards the last few dishes, cos they were all abt the same....prawns prawns & more prawns. kekeke


Had steamboat dinner with my "SPH Gang" friends. Yes, we had dinner at the chong qing steamboat resturant @ beach Road. Ever since some saw how I did my Family-taught "腐乳 marinated "style of cooking , they wanted to try out the method too.

Receive by belated Xmas presents from them. So happy. Cos it seems like I was receiving birthday presents too, cos Ah-ka, clownette & Nana all gave me presents which are in my fav colour:




Thanks a lot.

Was preparing my bombs (resignation letter) to throw at Monster boss on the first day of work in 2007.

Kinda stuck in the midway as I want it to be a “bullet-proof” one, so that Monster boss cannot play any tricks . Consult my friends and one joker friend said:

“1st sentence: It is with regret that I have to leave this lousy place since a great talent such as myself is not appreciated here…”


ehh…. Trying to be funny huh…

My 8th Polar Bear

Decided to post this section at a seperate post , in case I need to track back this entry in the future.

Weeks ago, while shopping for xmas gifts, i happened to chance upon a shop selling TY beanies. Was wondering if i could find any new polar bear to add to my collection ( for my collection, pls refer to ths post:
http://harmoniewong.blogspot.com/2006/04/shit-anti-depressant-polar-bears.html)



And true enough, I saw this cute polar bear by the name of Chillingsly with the birth tag: 21 Jan 2006.



Needless to say, I bought it without hesitation. ;P

Lots of things to update on Boxing Day

Foreseeing I'd hang out late on Xmas nite,before I told Monster Boss of my resignation, I had already applied for a day leave for today, 26 Dec, which is also know as Boxing Day.

As I do not have many boxes to clear, hahha, so clearing my blog debts.

1) 孺子可教也

The little brother of mine has an interest in arts. When I was making my Xmas cards, he would like to hang around to see what I am doing.

The one day, he asked me if I have any spare scraps and cards to spare cos he wanna to make xmas cards for his friends. I was busy writing the cards and shooed him off with a few pieces of coloured paper and 2 leftover scraps.

Later, I wonderwed how could he manage to come out with 5 cards with so few materials, yet he said the materials i had given him were sufficient.

That very night, he stayed up late to just to complete his cards. Perhaps it runs in the blood cos I often stay up late to complete cards too. Once the ideas start flowing, I 'd rather work on the spot than to lose those inspiration after a night's sleep. The only thin he asked for help was when he was writing the words in a different from the usual handwriting.

The next day, he proudly showed me his creations:






heh heh. Not bad uh, Considering that he is just a 16 year old kid and his first attempt in making cards. Seldom see guys willing to handmake cards for friends leh.

Also, he knew how to make use of materials. He even had this bright idea of using the punched dots (from the hole punch ) as snow on his card.

2) My Acer Aspire 5610WLMi notebook







Just did this simple page for fun. How can I not 'style" this pic after all I had used my hard-earned money to buy this gadget.


3) Christmas Presents

With reference to my previous post, these are the presents I had received from friends and colleagues (if i have remembered to take pics of them)

Clockwise from top left (click for a large view)

1) This was the 1st xmas treat I had received this year, on 6 Dec if I am not wrong. The gummy is still in my room. 舍不得吃。

2) This was given my monster boss, who just conveniently bought a ready-wrap chocolates from the Watsons near our office. 没诚意。The brand of chocolates reminds you of soap --- Dove.

Ok ok, i know I sounds bad. haha but i did repay him with a hand-made card and belgium chocolates from Candy empire. 才不要欠他咧!

3) Another box of belgium chocolates from my colleague, (actually we refered her as "ah-neh" ). Brough the box of chocolates back home and it was finished within 2 days.

4) This is actually "part 1 of 2" of the Xmas presents given by my colleague Annie. It is actually a hand-painted tile with a magnet attached behind





Then feelin lazy to take individual pics of xmas gifs, I make space for a "gifts corner" on my desk. Purposely blur the pic at the edges as I realised my name was crealy visible on the gift tags.

Now, theere u can see the box containing 枇杷膏 which had mentioned in my previous post. oh I simply love the cute figurine container.

And not forgeting this present ;



3 boxes of Melty Kisses Chocolates!

Posting for 22 Dec




Had a Christmas lunch gathering at office on 22 Dec. As usual, we ate the buffet kindly sponsor by the staff welfare and exchanges gifts. After that the two divisions ("the upper & lower class") went to gather in their own groups.


Took quite a few picture with my fellow colleagues in the supporting department. A colleague mention hat we better take pictures since big bosses are not around and i will be leaving my company soon.

Oh right. Perhaps after me, one by one will leave too.



We tried to make funny poses , so that we can show ff the charm bracelets with "K1" (we have two colleagues with names starting with K) made for us. And K1 put on the necklace I had made for her. But pictures did not turn out well, cos of shaky hands ad we kept on fidgeting .


True to the news reports, chocolates are the most popular Xmas gifts. Presents I had received include Belgium chocolates, dove chocolates, rocher , Melty kisses chocolates (3 boxes!), a magnet, a cute figurine container, Guylian chocolates, big paper clip bookmark and a bottle of 枇杷膏.


Yes,枇杷膏. An unusual present right.
This was given by my prev-boss. (not the monster boss) Maybe he had seen me taking 枇杷膏 in office whenever I had sore throat.
But still who would expect to receive 枇杷膏 as xmas presents.

maybe it might come in handy , cos of the chocolates I had received.

Time to let go

"you realize that what you are clinging to so dearly really is not all that important to you. It's time to let go and begin anew..."


也许,真的要开始“手放开”了。

ouch my knees

Had a total of 3 days MC starting from yesterday, due to a swelled kneecap. The medical term, as I saw from the X-ray report is "Joint effusion".

Need to whine abt the Monster Boss I have. I started putting this phrase "I have a monster boss" together with my msn nic. Ex-colleagues (aka SPH gang) had asked me abt that when we met up last Friday. This Monster Boss is far worse than the "dowager" .

Not goin to mentioned the past 'tortures" i encountered, shall talk abt what happened yesterday. I had a fall from the bus on sat night (kanna tripped by a passenger behind me who was too eager to get off the bus. and while i dumbfolded, due to pain, she was liked shouting"oh mi god" but walked off after that). Initailly though that it was minor injuries (small cut on the left knew and a big bruise on the right kneecap)

however yesterday, ine the mrt train ride to work, I felt tat something doesn't seem right with my right knee. Thouht that maybe it was because I was standing throughtout the journey (couldn't get a seat and ) that caused by legs to hurt. And i could feel pain as I walked.

Things seems to worsen after i reached office. Find it difficult to bend the leg. even as I turned while sitting on my armchair, the right knee hurts. Comments from my colleagues made me even more worried. They mentioned that my right kneecap was very swollen and seemed different comparing to left knee.

Thought that i can ask 'boss' for time off to see chinese physician (which by the way, previous boss and my colleagues' supervisors all allow them to take time off), yet he claimed that must check with HR and said Chinese physican not approved. If I want, I have take leave.

pissed. Even when I had showed him how serious was the injury of my right knee to prove i was't lying. I remembered I was given time off by my prev boss to see optician at the other end of sngapore when my glasses broke and my contact lens was missing. Other colleague were also given time off for things not related to medical reason to. As long as the supervisor can answer for it, normally HR won't question anything more abt it.

Think Monster boss purposely want me to waste my leave so that he can make me come back to work on 31 Jan.


He could have given me extended lunch time for tat day, so that i can see a doc nearby during lunch, or to let me off at 5pm instead. But he didn't.

Well , I know if i leave at that time, i would have to apply for a day leave even though I had worked for around 3 hrs. Hence I purposely wait till it was passed lunch time then i drop a ote tah i am gg to see a chinese physician and will apply for leave when I return to work.


Went to the Health Centre which treated my sprained ankle years ago, but looking at my condition, they entioned that they cant treat it and direct me to other physician. Imagine I have to limp all the way and endured stares by other passer-bys.


anyway, in summary, chinese physician said that the cold air in my office could have worsen thepain. After giving me some chinesse medicine and wrapped my knee with a plaster, she suggested I went for x-ray .

A long wait at the polyclinic, when it was my turn to see the doc, the x-ray department was closed for the day and I was made to return te next day.

So gotten a day MC for yesterday and another 2 days MC for today and tomorrow. Doc actually asked if I wna 3 days MC, but i think i will faint at the amount of work to clear upon returning from a 3 day MC.

And u know what, Monster smsed me and after my fellow colleague called me, saying Monster ask her to with with me regarding something. More likely that he want to know if i am really at home.

I just post to say.......

Just got a new lappy and using it now. Finally I have a computer after so many months.


But this left me ard $1250 poorer (managed to get a free mouse, but i have to buy a thumbdrive and dvds).

Got lots of things to set up liao.

I though I can be independent, eg when buying my digicam, I can research on it and make the purchase myself. but not when it comes to computer. I dun even understand the specs. So really gotta thanks my guy friends who had helped to answer my queries all these while. And special thanks to J, who had helped to keep a lookout for me on the offers and K. who accompanied me to make the purchase & dealing with the follow-up queries I have.
Thanks a lot. :)

Ir's a long day. So tired now. Nitez

I wanna break free.


我真的好累。



These are the lyrics I can think of that reflects my feelings towards my current working life.


Things just got worse.

Indirectly hospitalized because of him. And some people almost believe it when I told them it is because 他弄我气到吐血。

Am supposed to clear 16 days of leave. Dun even let me take. Purposely schedule a lunch (when I did say I don’t wanna attend) at the late week of Jan, right after my planned holidays. What is the meaning of this? Behind my back, he dragged the other directors along, making me having no excuse to clear leave on those days. Darn.


Lots of “vomit blood”, “volcano-erupting” incidents which I can list out, but better not do it here.

I am not the only one facing problem with him, another colleague who is older and more matured than me also feeling exhausted.

How I wish I can really throw the resignation letter at him!!


On my last day of service I shall happily declare:
不再做你的傀儡。


**************


some people are not that innocent.
Purposely try to 挑拨离间。
Dislike people who are not truthful….
Tired of people whose words always have a hidden meaning. At work, already have to face one. Yet in social circle, also have to face such situations

我真的好累。

最近比较冷

slightly outdated post.


可能是办公室的冷气越来越越冷,冷到我最近说话也越来越冷。

Incident 1:

那天,听了姐姐说 师兄看到人一直说:“Hey I know you " , 可是他却不记得一位姐姐的名字。我突然灵机一动,就把 童安格的那首《其实你不懂我的心》 的歌词改成:

你说 I Know you
But you don't know me
其你不懂我的名~


原本歌词是:
你说我像云
捉摸不定
其实你不懂我的心


Incident 2:

那天刚好是农历十五。 接进午餐时间时,一位同事来到我们的部门,讨论当天要到哪里用餐。听她大声地说:“我要吃素”, 我又发挥了我的“冷功”。

"你要吃啊。 Ok, 你吃,我吃。".


Incident 3:

That happened on a staff KTV gathering. 有一位很高的同事点了梁静茹的《勇气》来唱。我就说:“那首歌不适合你唱。"

“为什么?” 她问。
“是给矮的人唱的。你那么高不可以唱。”

by then, another colleague got the joke but she didn't and asked :“为什么?”。

“因为chorus 有一句; ‘矮(爱)真的需要勇气’。 哈哈哈。“

Have lots of stuff to update, but was too busy doing so. Guess now I’ll have to write abt them briefly

1 Dec

Drop the bomb on my boss. I thought I was already kind enough to give him 2 months notice when I can tender on 3 Jan. Cos I know if I tender on 3 Jan, my unofficial last day of work is 11 Jan, and he is unlikely to let me off then.

But I was wrong. He expect me to be ard in late Jan, even when I told him I intend to go overseas. He said wait till I had bough the tickets then discuss further. Kaoz , I need to show my proof huh. These 16 days of leaves are my entitlement leh. Who would wanna to be back in office after holidays. Especially when one is leaving the company.


Sianz.


2 Dec

Met up with little grass for a shirt while to pass her my VCDs. She mentioned that she and giant grass were wondering why I din jio them out for a long time. Sorry lah, if I dun jio u, u all can jio me mah. There are times I am free but often I think it is too last minute to ask friends out. And if I have the spare time, I’ll find things to do lor. Need to make cards and necklaces leh.


3 Dec

有机会跟师兄通电话。好紧张。哈哈。

5 Dec

Met up with 师姐for dinner. Thanks 师姐 for your treats.


6 Dec

I dunno whether to vomit blood or to laugh at stupidness when I saw the email from boss , asking me to compile a list of my work (this I intend to do), hand over to my colleage, get her to sign (?!!!!) and he will witness the signing. (??????!!!!!)


Whao since when does a staff handover his work requires a signing ceremony?



Anyway, I attended the ABC concert with features Cheng Sheng, Pin Guan and MayDay in the evening. Thanks S for the tickets and E for the snacks.

Have a good view of the stage as were are in the premium standing area. The only disappointment I have is with my camera. Really need to invest in one liao.

Shall report abt the concert another time.
