Spend last night trying on the gown. Final fitting, the seamstress had tighten the gown for me as she had actually made allownce for me in the first place. Even my mum likes the gown...hahahaha..... simple and elegant....

Sigh... at least I can go on leave without worrying about closing this round...

Sleepy Tuesday.....


Couldn't wake up this morning, overslept slightly and ended up reaching office 10 mins before 8.30... lucky still have time for breakfast.

Continue to check on figures, task not completed from yesterday. Colleague called from HK saying that the figures don't seems to tie between 2 of the systems that we are using. Futher divulged that it could be due to her not having set up the system "rules" to allow the flow of the data to the correct accounts. Is this my fault then?? Now I have to recon the figures and let her know which accounts are not receiving the correct figures. This is too much!!!!!

NVM, going on leave again real soon. Should not get too worked up on matters like this. Will get the accounts settled for her so that she won't say that I won't help in checking.

Aaarrrggghhhhh... back to checking the figures now.

First day back at work


After 1week's leave at home, it is rather shocking to see 127 emails waiting for me at work. have to clear most of it by Tuesday at least as I will be on another 2 days leave this week.

Just have to bear with it today and get everything done. Hopefully, there won't be as much email today.

Till later.....

End of my Nice Little Holiday


Today is Friday, the end of my nice little holiday break that I gave myself. Looking back, I have spend time with the kids, went shopping with them and alone, slept (just love to sleep when I have the time), watch serials and whatnots.

Need to be back in the office on Monday, wonder if the office mailbox had exploded with emails when I am not around. If I can clear up everything before the weekend... as I will be taking another 2 days leave next week. My galfriends will know why...

Both Anne and Mabel are away for their Sun and Surf trip to Bintan. So envious of them. Anyway, Anne will owe us a treat so...hahaha.... it is ok, will wait for them to be back and get my treat from her.

Time for dinner, afterwhich will be glued to the gogglebox till zzzzz time. That my schedule the past few days and all will change come next week. Better be mentally prepared for work soon if not I will be falling asleep in the office...sigh.....

Simply lazing around


This is a day that I simply laze around at home. After visiting the dentist and getting my new pair of contact lens, came home, surf the net and will read & finish my book later.

Wish that I can still take whole week leave in the coming months... it is so relaxing to be home and doing absolutely nothing expect to read, sleep, watch tv, surf net and eat...

That's all for now... going to finish off that book of mine....

Till later.....

WEEK LONG HOLIDAY


Well, this week is the start of my week long holiday (on leave for the whole week)...

Monday - Brought kids for movie, Madagascar, Jasper was laughing as loud as the rest of the kids if not louder, kids really like that show. Went shopping after that and teabreak. Went home in the early evening. Was checking my phone when I realised that my colleagues had left me messages when I was in the cinema. The Australian HR manager needs a file and even told them that he is prepared to open my cabinet to look for it.....

My colleagues told him that even they have no idea where my files are kept, it will be better if he were to talk to me first. Can you imagine, I have been passing him in the corridor the whole of last week but he never told me that he needed any file, yet on my first day of leave, he is prepared to open my cabinet.

This is too much, will call him tomorrow to ask actually what he needs.

Tuesday - Woke up early just to call into office. Was directed to his voicemail each time I called. Got really P***ed off as I would like to get back to sleep but was thinking if he really can't find the file, I would have to make a trip back to office to get it for him.

Called his secretary instead, managed to get her and she was looking for him too, managed to speak to the guy (interior decoratior) who works with him on the office renovation to know exactly what he is looking for. The HR manager actually had a copy of it but apparently, he had misplaced his copy as it couldn't be found in his file. So that is why he is so "prepared" to open my cabinet to look for that file. He had lost his bl***y copy. Is it my fault that his filing is so bad that he loses his files and documents?

Told the decorator where to look for the document and said that I will call him back in half an hour's time to confirm that he had found it.

Took my breakfast, read the papers and started calling the office again to see what is the progress of the search. Couldn't get secretary or the decorator... what if they can't find the file??? D**n, will have to make a trip back to the office and it is in the west of the island. Don't want to go into the office....

Kept calling, finally the HR manager answered the phone, they found it, thank god... is there anything else that he needs from me? I asked him, he apologised for disturbing my leave and thanked me for following up on the issue but they have got everything they need.

Went out in the afternoon to Compass point, shop around for a while then went home. Read my book, took a nap, had my tea break, watched more tv and finally finished dinner when I sat down to write for the day.

Hopefully, there won't be any issues till I get back to the office next week.

Muffins....


Just got my muffins, they look yummylicious even though they are mini-muffins. Bringing them home for the kids to eat...which I am sure at the end of the day, I may end up with no muffins for myself.

Will be going shopping tomorrow for stuffs. Don't really want to do it but have to. Wonder if I can get good discount for the things that I want to buy....

Was also thinking if I should bring the kids to watch Magadascar tomorrow or on Monday. Nope, shall spend tomorrow shopping instead, watch the show on Monday. If not, they will complain that they don't have any activities on Monday.

Eyeing the muffins now.... should I start eating them now... getting hungry... I shall control, take 3 and keep the rest for tonite. Don't want to be a fat little piggy.

Semi-Lost


Saw Lost last nite but as I was also busy explaining the story to my son about why there are people on an island and parts of an aeroplane lying on the beach, I am missing part of the show.

Kids and their whys...

Why are they building a tent? It is for the injured person.
Why is the person injured? He was struck with a piece of metal when the aeroplane crash.
Why must they collect water when it is raining? Becos there is no fresh water for them to drink.

After a while, he asked "Can we watch something else? It is a little scary."
"What is scary?" I asked him. "Don't know but it is scary."

So I told him to snuggle up to me and we will watch the show together which we did till it ended.

Point to note : Sometimes it is not that the show is scary but just that the kid wants to snuggle up to their mother...

Half the day have gone by.....


Half the day have gone by and I am still reading the business proposal for one of the major investment that the company is investing in. Eyes are getting tired and starting to get a little hungry...

Will pop over to the cafeteria to grab a bite later. Someone is taking orders in the office for muffins. Placed a order for 22 pieces of mini muffins to be collected tomorrow. Just thinking of it makes me hungry. Stop, must stop thinking of it.

Counting down the days till weekend, will have a lot of time onhand when I go on leave next week. Must ask around for interesting shows to borrow to pass time.

Just remembered that the show "My Restaurant Rules" will be shown tonite if it is still showing, will clash with Lost. Hhhhmmm, Lost wins, shows on renovations can be watched at other times.

Why is time passing so slowly today? I want to go home to watch my show.....

Mr & Mrs Smith.....


Went to watch Mr & Mrs Smith last nite with Mabel and her friend, AJ.

How should I describe my feelings for a couple that have kept secrets from each other for 5 or 6 years? They are either very good at keeping secrets or they are totally unaware of what each other does or they are too wrapped up in their own world to noticed their partners.

Won't you feel strange that your spouse never ever introduce their colleagues to you after 5/6 years of marriage?? And they won't let you call them in the office?? Or you have never visited their office at all.....

I will feel that something is wrong if my hubby don't mention his colleagues to me at all or tell me about his work, I mean, I don't need details but at least you need to know what he is doing at work in general.

That is all for now... till later

Rainy day.... and I feel a headache creeping up on me....

Came out of Outram MRT this morning and found that it was raining... Didn't expect it to rain as there was no sign that it will rain this morning when I left the house. Anyway, hop into the cab and went to work.

Was reconciling the intercompany charges when I first felt the headache starting. Mild little thing that last till I returned from lunch and it had turn to a dull ache now. Need to pop a Panadol coz I will be watching a movie with Mabel & friend later. Not going to let this headache spoil my evening entertainment.

Two more days till the weekend and I will be on leave the whole of next week... Can't wait for the weekend...

Tired.....

One of my supervisors is back after 1 weeks leave... Told me to give him sometime to settle down before he comes to me... That is fine with me. Anyway, I have got all the data ready for him.

Restless nite last nite, kept waking up all the time. So feeling tired this morning, and what makes it worse is that I feel that a sore throat is approaching. I don't want to be sick now.

Must drink more fluids. Sleep early tonite... hahaha fat hope, most probably I will be watching some movie till 11 plus before I feel sleepy...

Watching the time passing so slowly, can't you move any faster. I want to go home......

Lost - this time in marriage traditions......

Getting married is really no joke, especially when you have to follow all the traditions that were set way back in time...

There seems to be 101 rules that you have to follow and things that you have to get for your marriage...

Firstly is the Betrothal presents that the groom must send to the bride... you would have thought that after having married off a daughter, my future mother-in-law would have an idea of what must be needed when it is her son's turn to get married but no, she kept telling my mum that she don't have any idea what needs to be given and since my mum wants to keep it simple this round, just asked for the minimum things. She expects that my future in-laws will know that they will have to send over a pair of old coconuts (to signify that my father-in-law is still around) and a betelnut (something to represent the groom if I am not mistaken)...

But after considering that she seems to be totally clueless about stuff needed, I told my mum not to expect that from them as they will most probably only send what my mum had told them, so in the end, my mum had to go look for the betelnut, which took a good part of sunday afternoon, we are lucky that we managed to find it over in Little India.

But that leads to another problem, I can't find my in-laws the whole of yesterday. So now I have to make a trip to pass the item to them.....

Lost ~ In Thoughts

Caught in the new series "Lost" last nite... had actually fell asleep waiting for the show to start but managed to wake up before 10 to get ready for the show...

This show really have all the twists and turns of a roller coaster... the person who I thought is a convict isn't & who would have guess that the convict is actually the girl. The Korean couple is out of place in the show, I mean, if both of them can't speak English at all, how did they communicate with others when they are in the States? And the husband is a MCP... imagine him not letting his wife have a bite of food when he goes round asking others to eat the food he prepared. Come on, she is your wife, you know!!!!! Don't you need to take care of her first??

Anyway, I will definitely mark my Thursday nites for this show. There are just too much stuff to discover and solve...

Starting out....

Nothing much as this is my first attempt at blogging... will try to post something later...
