Saw this over at Little Miss Drinkalot and decide to try it out... No guess what my card will be...

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Just had a breakfast chat with one of my male colleague. He is a funny guy with a lot of funny ideas/theories.

The moment he sat down for breakfast, he asked me what do I think about the phase “人死不能复生”, so the first thing that came to my mind as “what done is done, there is no turning back” and told him that this is what I thought about this phase.

He then told me that if in a movie trailer, Person A says this to Person B, and Person B draws a gun and shoots Person A, it should be a blockbuster. I looked at him and asked if there is such a movie trailer, he stopped for a while and said “No, but I am thinking about it.”

I asked him if he is trying to be a scriptwriter and he told me that he had actually sort of written a novel but it is incomplete but he did complete several short stories and one was even printed in the Philippines when he was younger.

I have to admire him for being able to write stories and getting them published.

Attending a teleconference now, listening and blogging at the same time seems to be rather easy. Anyway, as this is the Phase II deployment of a system, it is a repetition of what we had heard before. Done deal to them, just letting us know what they have done and there won’t be any input from us that they will consider. So in a sense this is a
one-way kind of communication. “We tell you what you can do, don’t tell us what you need the system to do for you”. Basically, there is no point in listening but there is this thing called “for show only”. Just show up for the talk and listen to what they allow us to do.

Going for lunch soon....Yummy....

New Place

Had finally moved back to the 2nd floor, but the sitting arrangement is totally different. Still situated around the accounting area but towards the back of the office with the entrance /exit within easy access.

That is a good thing because I won't need to walk so far just to get out of accounting.

If I were to peek over my workstation, I could see my Boss' office, can't see her but at least I can see the weather, if it is raining or bright and sunny.

Still feeling miserable, puking before and after food. Hopefully, the phase will end in another 3 or 4 weeks.

Taxi, Taxi....

I have been lazy lately, in absolutely no mood to bring the laptop back from work, so no blogging at home.

Taxis are hard to flagged down these days. Last Sunday, James, Jasper and myself went to Festival Market for grocery shopping and when we are done, it was raining cats and dogs.

Our normal practise is to walk there and take a taxi home afterwards. So we joined the queue for a taxi. After a while, I noticed that the couple in front of us is standing a distance from the queue in front so I asked them if they are waiting for a taxi, they were surprise that they were standing in the queue and asked us to move in front.

After moving to the front, I noticed that the mother and daughter in front of us were also standing a distance from the queue. So I checked with them again and they let us moved to the front as they were waiting for their transport too.

Then it is a long wait for a taxi. Taxis were coming in bits and drabs before we were in line for one. When a taxi came to let someone alight. An Ah Beng actually wanted to get board the taxi with his girlfriend. The driver was busy indicating to him that there is a queue and he can't pick him up but he don't bother and wanted to open the door when I spoke up and told him off that there is a queue and that the taxi was mine. I was tired of waiting and cold from the wind blowing around me due to the rain.

He glared at me and I glared back at him. Why, are you trying to show off to your girl that you can get a cab without waiting and queueing??? He reluctantly moved to the end of the queue and continued to stare at me and I know that he is staring at me as I was loading the grocery into the cab so I gave him a final look when I settled myself in the taxi.

He is not the only one who can glare. I can glare perfectly well too especially when I am pissed with people who thought that they can have their way without queueing for it. If others can queue and wait in line, I absolutely believe that you can do it too. What gives you the privilege of cutting queue.

Have to start work soon. Was told that we can move back to our office by next Thursday. That was really quick as we were told previously that it will be towards end of November that the office is ready.

At least, I can get my own place soon. Feels weird over at this place as the people here is really quiet most of the time.
