light in the dark

Ok ok. This may be my 1st time writing about my room renovation in this new blog, but friends have been hearing about this for the past 2 years plus. Hey, it's not easy converting a hyper messy room (ask all those who have been to my room 3-4 years ago) into my ideal room.. Ok, it's turned out not really my ideal room due to the sheer amount of stuff I've decided to keep: Rubbish that are filled with sentimental values. Anyway, this is gonna be the first time I showcase a newly done part of my room: the bed side.
Looks nothing special in the dark ...


Wala, the night lights are up, the obvious tall bamboo lamp and a hidden lamp underneath...

Ok, now the rest of my room.. haha.

munch, munch, munch

2nd last day of work, but officially my last working day. Tomorrow is not a work day for me, it's my clearing day... the day I get each department to give me the clearance signature. Today also the monthly birthday celebration of all the staff borned this month. Today's buffet was especially huge, mainly due to the concidence of our lady boss' birthday as well. 3 big cakes from Secret Recipes. I only had the chocolate one, which was so rich and dense.









Even though it was supposed to be a special day for all those borned in September, it was also a special occassion for me since everyone knows tomorrow's my last day. I had the most photo opportunity at the lunch function, more than anyone else!!









All gungho and ready to qiong for the food!! Photo with the Warehouse Department.


A pic with the guys.......



... and not forgetting a huge group of girls...

Tomorrow, I will bid these people (and lots more) goodbye. Bitter sweet, but definitely more excited then sad.

dont mess around with me

My last Monday with my current company. I'm still training my replacement. Everything seems to go on smoothly until I had to make a call to this Sri Lankan client. You see, this particular client has placed his order with us since 2 months ago, but has yet to fully paid up his advance. Due to this, we had to postpone his shipment last week to next month. He is supposed to have another shipment this week, but he hasnt paid up his advance as well for it. So after 2 weeks of constant pestering on a daily basis, I called him to inform him that he is required to fax to us his TT receipt by today before we allow shipment. 2 hours passed, and still no fax. I gave him the ultimum after consulting with my boss. I called him again to inform him that his initial advance will be forfeited and his shipments will be diverted to out other clients if we do not received his fax in the next 10 minutes. With that, he gave me the rudest remark any client has ever given to me: You are a mother fucker!

Before I can utter a word, he slammed his phone. Well, sometimes you really can't do much with uncivilised people. Even though I felt insulted, I'm glad that I got back in my own ways by forfeiting his over USD 10k advance with us(of course with my HOD's approval). Whoever says Sir Lanka is a nice and friendly place? When it comes to business, even the meekest person becomes a barbarian.

divalicious

I've finally opened my box of Godiva Chocolates after 1.5 months. Yup, tat's rite, 1.5 months. No choice. I was ill last month, and my sis was having a sore throat. And then after a while, I've forgotten about it totally until today. Suddenly, there were 4 forrest gumps in my family: my 2 sis, my mum and myself. We opened the box with anticipation, and each of us had different flavors. My sis gobbled hers down, while my mum (finding out that each small piece cost almost $4) savoured it slowly. My younger sis was there smiling to herself while she bite it little by little. Godiva chocolate is like Gucci or LV of the chocolate world... And true to its reputation, tat small piece was so intensed i tot i had 1/2 a bar of chocolate! Mutiply that to 15 pieces, the $50 spent on that golden box was well-spent.. haha.













Maybe I'll have my 2nd piece tmr..

sexually harresed??

I was at my neighbourhood centre with my mum this morning when this granny used her arm to touch my butt. At first I tot it was because the walkway was blocked. But I turn to find the walkway very spacious. The granny walked past me and then stopped around 2m in front of me. She turned sideways just to show half of her face. Then the creepiest thing happened... She smiled in an errie fashion. My goosebumps rose immediately! I realised that I might just hav been molested by a horny granny!! Oh shit!

I was pissed with the fact that I've resigned and yet have to force-contribute to the bithday fund of my bosses. My pissed? check out FORUM for all the juciy details.

forbidden desires

Today I'll finally get to watch the Forbidden City!! I've missed it twice, both times I was in Brisbane. So exciting... with new scenes this time somemore..

I've handed over all my work stuff to my replacement. Name is Shao Hao. Now, I really feel free.. haha.. I remembered I had only 1/2 a day of learning which was spreaded over a period of 4 days. Yup, sounds impossible to some. I did most of my learnings the hard way. I was scolded ridiculously by the veteren in my department. I created lotsa errors. And I finally learned the ropes. Funny, but it all seemed so darn familiar now. It was exactly like when I first took over my role during my NS period. And now, the handing over is a deja vu to me again. Lucky I had experience in teaching.. haha.. I had handed over or trained 5 guys during my stint in NS, and had almost 1 full year of Relief Teaching experience. Shocking to some, but I have handed over all my duties in a matter of 2 half days! Now I jus need to wait for my last day to come. How I wish my boss will jus ask me to go now.. haha... I feel like I'm a sitting buddha here.. basically just surfing the net and occassionally answer questions by my understudy...

my most exciting day

Finally, a casual blog to contrast my nagging political FORUM blog! The first entry, but a mandane one.. Almost end of the month, almost end of my 1 month notice. Life's really getting bored and stale. Today, some japanese guys came over to conduct some tyres knowledge. The unfortunate thing was, their English was so foreign you would think that they were still speaking Japanese. Well, it was over by 12 noon, so 1/2 day was gone. Then the usual web surfing. I've done all my handing over stuff, just waiting for my replacement to fully take control of things. But he is still no where to be found, now with just 1.5 hrs before my day ends at work. So sian. Nevermind, not my problem also. I've done what i need to do liaoz..

Really quite bored here since everything has been handed over. But I think many would love to be in my shoes: Go to work but do nothing and get paid. So if you are reading this blog, please msn and chat with me!!
