Out of the Rain

Yesterday, I went to visit my father with my two helpful neighbours. They were very kind to offer to join me and contributed some items too.

My father looked healthy and more cheerful, less aggressive than he used to be and my neighbours earned the credits. They were able to communicate with him using his dialect, which I was unable to do it.

He seemed to adapt well to his new environment and I was slightly glad and contented that I had made the right choice in the first place. This happened to be one of the knots that had me trapped in the storm for weeks but since yesterday, I was finally able to see light peeking through the dark clouds and the storm had become a drizzle.

The storm had stopped roaring but the rain will still be pouring down but atleast, I am feeling good now.

For this moment, I feel like I was out of the rain.

Extra-Ordinary Encounter

Phew!! What a tiring day. I had just reached home from work. Actually not much of doing work, it was actually a discussion between me and the bosses, regarding the way of management for the office in future.

Since it ended up quite late, I had decided to take a cab home. From the moment, I got on the cab, the driver began to communicate with me, through singing. O_O!!!! Every question he asked, was through singing and every answer he replied, was through singing as well. And I have to admit, his singing was good, in fact, very good. I was impressed. His singing style was more towards those in the early nineties.

So he sang throughout the whole journey, till he reached home. First time, in my life, a taxi driver sang to me.

Out of Course

Finally, yesterday was the third day and last day for my skills upgrading course, as per assigned by the Company!!!! However, I went for the fundamental course, there are still advance courses but my boss is unlikely to send me for it. I guess I have to try and error on my own. :S


There was an unexpected encounter with an ex-schoolmate on my way to class yesterday. Not a word spoken between us before, in school or outside, and we found ourselves, sitting opposite each other, talking away yesterday. It was sort of weird and a bit excited. I mean, it is always good and elated to meet people from the past that you once known but lost contact since we left school.


Recently, I was so hooked u with playing Final Fantasy Tactics that I spent my last whole weekend on it, and every night after I reach home. I am getting addicted to it. I am unstoppable now!!! hahahaha...


P.S. Thanks to my friends who gave me some directions and ways to search for the Olympics 2008 Women Table Tennis Final video. ^______^

This is so depressing~~~

There was a live broadcast of the Olympics 2008 Women Table Tennis Final last night but I didn't manage to watch it because I was still on my way home from work. T_________T

The fact is that I sort of forgot that last night, there would be a broadcast and I thought that the match is either today or tomorrow. Arggghhhh!!!!

I tried to watch it online but most of the websites are china website that required to install certain programme, in order to be viewable BUT I didn't dare to install as I have a prone-to-ganna virus fate whenever I use a computer T_____T

Can someone advise a suitable website that show the match if come across??? @~@ Onegaishimasu.

Rainbow

Today, I was on the bus, on my way to work, as usual. Staring out of the fixed glass panel beside me, I was dozing off and on, with my ipod on and stoning away. Out of a sudden, I saw a rainbow, spreading across the white-blue plane. It wasn't raining at the time but the road was wet, hinting there was a downpour earlier on.


The last time I saw a rainbow, I was in Perth which was almost one and half years ago. This is not the first time, I saw a rainbow, obviously. But, recently, my life was full of ups and downs and I happened to listen to a Japanese song " No rain, no rainbow" so this phrase sort of perking me up, hoping for something good to come along, after in the mid of the storm for a while.


So, I guess I felt something special, sentimental when I saw a rainbow out of the blue today. ^__^

Olympics 2008 - Table Tennis Team Woman

I had just finished watching the live broadcast of the Table Tennis Team Woman Final match. It was impressive. It was China against Singapore. After 48 years, Singapore was about to get her 2nd gold medal in the Olympics history but China was ONE that stood in her way to victory. Singapore Team already did their best, in getting a silver. \(>o<)/ Congrats!!!


Frankly speaking, I don't really follow closely on the Olympics 2008, except for the impressive grand opening and the earlier live broadcast match. It was always my brother who told me alot about sports when we watched together. Therefore, I was really shocked when I saw Wang Nan playing in the first game tonight!!! O_O!!! Since years ago, I had heard and been told that Wang Nan was ranked No.1 (2001 - 2002) in the Woman Table Tennis Game, although her ranking had dropped now. Zhang Yining replaced her as the world's No. 1 ranking. After watching her (Zhang Yining) playing tonight, I had to say she is worth that.


It always makes me excited when I heard about all the top ranking Athletes (regardless of their nationality), envied of their talents and admired their efforts and hardship in achieving what they are now.


" You rear what you sow" Once, my primary school teacher used to say that and since then, I always believe in it, making myself to believe in it, even though I will lose my faith when I have fallen.

Withering away

Three days without coffee, (kopi siew dai) I am slowly withering away~~~

Adjusting & Juggling

It has been a while since my last entry.


Well, I have been busy adjusting and juggling with my life, especially family and work. I really need to reflect on my working attitude, speed and concentration. I seemed to be very stressed out but unable to find out what was causing it, and this was somehow affecting my work performance. I realised I had made a few mistakes which I would not make in the past.


Things are different now, as compared to the past, more projects to undertake, a higher level of work scope and more responsible and more stressful. Although, people do make mistakes but I don't really like it when it happened to me, especially concerning work. It will sort of making me feel a little demoralise and getting more stressed out and anxious. I


However, I hate it when I made mistakes, and these people will just complain to my boss. I rather they come to me. I don't like others to take the blame. I don't need to take credits for the hard work that I had done but I hate it when others start to doubt my capability.


I think I need time to adjust my mood, my mentality and to juggle with my work loads, stress from all fields.

Office

The airconditioner unit above my desk was leaking water!!!! What the hell!!!??? I had to get a bowl from the pantry to store the droplets that were dripping down. :S What a start for a brand new day!!! Arggggghhhh!!!

Grooming Session

Yesterday, Min and I went for our eyebrow trimming appointment at Orchard. It had been a long time since I trimmed my eyebrow and it was out of shape and bushy. =___=

Then we went for dinner, finally I got to eat handmade noodles (Bian Mian). Yumyum ^___^

Min wanted to get a concealer so we went to Wisma to check it out and we happened to go to Fan cl counter and the salesgirl offered to do a skin analysis for both of us. It was quite an amazing scene to see the structure of your skin so closeup till I could see oil, lots of oil floating!!!! O_O However, the salesgirl commented that my face was not superb oily otherwise it would cause outbreak which I didnt have, so the condition was acceptable except to do more masks to get rid of the dead skins. =D

Embarrassed moment

This is kind of an embarrassment!!!


Just finished my lunch, so decided to make myself a cup of instant coffee.
I took the cup with me, out of the pantry and used my another free hand to take the Sudoku book I had been trying earlier on. Then I realised the pantry door is not closed. Therefore, strolling over and intent to close the door with the hand which was occupied with the Sudoku book.


I tried to close the door but the strength was too weak to push the door and from my back, I heard footsteps and there was someone, walking out of the office door. Then, standing there like a fool, struggling to attempt to close the door when I saw a shadow casting over me. I turned up. Oops, it was the guy, who was doing part-time for the company upstairs!!!!


He should be going out for lunch, because I saw his boss earlier on, who told me that. However, he actually stood beside the door and showed the sign of wanting to enter the pantry. This is so ....... ... $#&%*#%^&^% although I guess he was indirectly, trying to help me. (maybe??) =.=

Daily Routine

This morning, there was a site inspection so I left from home straight. I was able to wake up one hour later than my usual time. ^^ When arrived, the Project Co-ordinator was already there, and he actually commented that I had lost quite a weight, as compared to the past.

Heehee...cannot help it but I think everyone will sure loves to hear this kind of comments and I have been hearing it since months ago. ^^ After that, I went to run an errand at Tanjong Pagar and collected my Bleach and Naruto Chara Fortunes along the way. (I will try to take a picture of it, if I remember)

I love Tanjong Pagar, especially the hawker centre!!!! \(>o<)/ A lot of cheap and delicious food!!! So I packed back office to eat, and bought my favorite coffee "siew dai" (meaning less sweet) and while munching my food, I was trying to solve the new Sudoku, this time, it was rated 4 stars out of 6. :s Now, I am at office, half doing my work, half updating my blog and half sneezing away.....zz..zz


As mentioned, here are the pictures for the Charafortune for Naruto and Bleach respectively. I finally remember to upload the pictures after months. Hehe~~

Where's the trust and honesty

Nowadays, these business people are setting traps to make the consumers pay more than the required.

Before the contract or transaction is done, everything is okay, no problem. Even tomorrow is the end of the world, is still okay to them and they are very fast to process. However, once transaction is made, paid or contract is signed, suddenly everything is not okay and it takes them years to just reply to even one of your question.

That's not the way how things work but everyone wants quick money nowadays, and no maintenance period. :s
