Lunar New Year is coming, just one more week to go! Getting a little excited coz I can't wait to 包红包.. Silly goose right? Wahahaha.. Guess the subsequent years I will feel that I am mad this year to actually feel excited abt giving angpows. Spring cleaning (only my room) was done on Sunday, din realise that my windows were so freaking dusty and my wardrobe's also covered with a layer of dust! OMG.. So unhealthy. I'm breathing in polluted air everyday. Cannot imagine when our love nest comes and I need to do spring cleaning for the whole house! Joanne was saying that when it comes to cleaning, you will realise that having a big house is not a very good idea, especially when you have no domestic helper! Spring cleaning will have to start at least one month in advance!
Friday was Maglin's wedding at The Legends Fort Canning Park. She was so gorgeous! She took Silverlining Bridal and their expertise is on low back gowns, both Mag's gowns were super low and bare back! Very very beautiful.. Low and bare back gowns are suitable for her coz she's lanky, if I were to wear these kinda gowns, think I will look damn gross coz my fats and tummy gonna have no place to hide and the gowns cant lift up my boobs. But anyway not trying to compare her and my wedding, I am very happy with my wedding and so far I still tink my black EG is the most gorgeous! Hahaha.. It was a lovely wedding, and when she walked down the aisle holding the hands of Jason, I had the urge to whistle (not that I know how to whistle la). Such a beautiful sight, to have a handsome groom and a pretty bride.. Heehee..
Monday night Nel and I went to Century Square PINC to do our classic mani and pedi. First time in my life I do manicure I need to wash my hands MYSELF. Apparently its like a norm in PINC CS. An auntie came in later than us, she also had to wash her hands herself. WTH! Already not very song that I need to wash my hands myself. Then came the 2nd thing. When I called to make the appointment the week before, they told me that we need to pay the surcharge first to confirm our appt. So on Sat I was nearby, I dropped in to pay $20 ($5 surcharge for each service, so total of 4 services). Nel decided that she will only do the pedi, mani she dowan to do. So her appt is shortened since she has one less service to do, and thus they took in a walk-in customer after Nel. When we were going to pay, they refused to let her use the $5 surcharge to offset her pedi. They claimed that it is non-refundable. WTF! After arguing with them, Nel just said "Forget it, its just $5 only, give you lo. SUX!" They have been condemned. No more second time.
Work's been very stagnant lately, everyday lobo in the office. Play FB, read SMO forum, read SGB forum, MSN, skype. It's so boring to be stuck in office and I can't possibly go out and tuang every afternoon! Words of retrenchment have been in the air and I'm still lobo-ing in this manner. They had a mgmt meeting last Friday, there will be variable bonus but only in March, we're guessing that the retrenchment's going to take place in February. 50% of our annual leaves for 2009 have to be cleared and we can only bring forward 50% to 2010. Which means all of 2008's leaves have to be cleared pretty soon too, not that I have a lot of 2008 leaves, but somebody in the team has not cleared any of his 2008 leaves! I wonder why these people just keep and keep their leaves, only will cause disruption to the rest in the team when they so gan-chiongly have to clear their leaves before they forfeit the leaves and cause the rest to be unable to take leaves during their absence. Very unfair lo. And the CNY period, my partner will be going back to her hometown, so I will need to back her up for 2 whole weeks, and this bugger still wanna take leave when she's not ard! I am already covering 2 persons job since Sharon went on ML in Nov, and with Jolie going away during CNY, I need to cover 3 persons' work. And with this bugger wanting to go on leave, I need to wear my underwear on the outside! KNN.. Ok, admit that there shouldn't be a lot of things to cover with the shipment volume going down so drastically lately, BUT the fact is I still need to cover 4 persons lo! And it's always me me me! Why do I know so many pple's work? All coz of that asshole FH. Make me touch so many accounts, and now I end up having to back-up the whole world. I can't stand it when pple whine and act pitiful, why am I doing the same thing? Nope, I am not acting pitiful, I am just ranting. Sorry! Hahahaha...
Been extremely pissed with just some people in my lives. Wish to ask them to get the hell out of my life, but I know it's impossible. I dun understand why some people just cannot stop comparing and just wants to compare with me, compare what James could give me, compare my wedding to hers, compare what James and I have achieved, compare my situation to hers, compare every single thing that I have to what she has. Wanting to know what I bought back for my mum (I bought the New Moon Abalone, she bought back a can of limpets and a can of top shell. Each only worth at most $10?) and will want to compare and comment. Why can't these people be contented with their lives? If you are not happy about something in your life, stand up and make the change! It's no use whining and comparing and making yourself miserable. And learn to accept criticisms and suggestions, stop saying 'but' and 'cannot' and then continue to whine.
Just learnt that a colleague is preggy. So happy for her! She got married mid of last year and is in her 2nd month now. EDD is end August. Heartfelt happiness is brimming out from me to her! Baby dust is in the air~!
