It has been such a long time I almost forgotten how to log into xanga to access my webblog. Felt this urge to blog today, felt like i wanted to share my worries and problems to somebody. Have been thinking alot recently, about what i feel about my job, about my objectives in life and about the people around me. I met my first obstacle at work. Being taken out of jobs and finally, getting informed about secondment to the tax department. I can't help my question myself am i not performing up to expectations that's why they are doing this to me? Then again i went through the appraisals on all the jobs i did from July 08 to now, i don't agree that i'm at the bottom, because my appraisals tell me i'm doing well. When the manager asked me whether i am interested in the 4 month secondment to tax department because of their peak period now, i did not give him an answer immediately. I asked why. What was their criteria in choosing people? He assured me it wasn't based on performance but more of the overall impact if one was to be removed from the engagement, he said for me the impact i would cause is minimal, as the jobs i have in April, May and June are new jobs, not continuity, so they could switch me for somebody else easily. Furthermore, he showed me the email sent out by the tax department requesting for help in the audit department because 4 people just resigned and they are in need of people. I wasn't upset about the transfer, on the contrary, i was feeling excited in going to a new department! Afterall, i knew that i didn't want to do audit for a long time, i wanted exposure in different things so i can finally find my interest. Perhaps God is giving me this chance in trying out tax, to see if i like it or not, and i believe that he has a plan for me, and i will follow his wishes and do my best in whatever challenges ahead. The only thing i'm worried of is my promotion in July. Hmm.. but see how ba, wait till the time comes then say lo. One step at a time, no point worrying now also right? At the same time, i feel the care and concern from my loved ones, how they were there for me when i needed a listening ear, and when i needed assurance in the decision i made. There's like negative sentiments in the entire company now, and all of us are feeling demoralised and disappointed in the new policies they have pertaining to toil, promotion and salary. The future in this company seems bleak... i hope i have the courage to stay positive... :)
Korean dramas have been so popular that they have successfully taken away the lives of all the housewives in Singapore, ok, maybe not all, at least my mother was one of the victims. Well i must admit i was hooked onto korean dramas at one time but i never watched dramas with more than 30 episodes i swear. And my mother? She's currently watching this never-ending korean drama and i never fail to ask her everytime she watches it, "WHEN is this show going to end huh? U watch very long already eh!!" Finally today she told me.. this show has about 80+ episodes - she's at her #55 episode lah. *Cheers to her patience man* So today, i decided to watch it together with her to witness how good a show this is. Apparantly, the storyline is as usual, female actress very pitiful from young, lost her parents, finally gets married and finds out that her parents are still alive. Blah blah blah *trust me, it's not a happy thing* Then the jealousy between women, like so many women in the show, but too little men to go around for all of them. The part i hate most is when the couple go out pak tor lah.. super BTH.. keep smiling at each other like siao one, then a little bit luff, a little bit say sorry, a little bit say thank you.. Piang... see already also super bek chek. Oh, the most infuriating thing about the show is that they like to replay the same music at the same chorus ALL THE TIME LAH. It's ok if the music is nice.. but this damn music is getting on everybody's nerves, even my mom! To the extent she mutes it whenever the music comes out. LOL* Mabbe i should try to d/l the music and put it on my blog so that everybody can judge for themselves. But it would be more fun if i were to put it as my mom's ringtone without her knowing it. MUAHAHAHA.... *hmm... that's prob. what i'm gg to do!! LALALALALA*
Anyway, i woke up with a sprained foot today. Sob... I have difficulties in walking now.... :( Let alone jog.
I was abused by "oh sooooo cute doggie doggie Coco". It scratched me real hard with it's freakin sharp nails. What was its master thinking by not cutting its nails lah. I just wanted to fling that whole pet away. Abit cruel, but look what it did to me!!!
Undeniably adorable i must admit, but equally naughty. Just 2 months old, my cousin bought it for $500 and brought it back a week ago. Just like the baby of the house now, everybody's attention was on it - aha! That's the problem, Coco knows ok! Coco knows that *he is the jewel of the house, so he is damn spoilt lah, constantly pounding up against my mom and me and i conclude he is a pervert puppy. WHY? Cause he loves to rest on e breasts area.
Dun get me wrong, i love the dog, just that he has got to be punished for doing such a monstrous act to me.
My dad, on the other hand, detests him terribly. He claims that:
1. My cousin was being selfish in bringing a puppy back when he clearly knows my maid is an indonesian = muslim, and it is prohibited to have a dog because they are 'ritually unclean'. 2. However my maid is cool about it because she draws her salary from this family. She has NO CHOICE. 3. My dad is afraid of eating dinner one day to find that there's dog hair in his food. 4. Plus he is afraid that the dog might pass some disease to him. 5. He hates it when mom and i plays with the dog. 6. He warns me about the consequences of bringing Coco back to my house.
The anticipated movie of the year 2008 - S.A.T.C is FINALLY OUT. And no way i'm going to lag behind, it must be the opening night or never! And so there it was - GV Grand. Can i be abit more yaya? GV grand had an exclusive 30 min S.A.T.C footage. Lalalalalala....!
The date is of utmost importance! See! I caught it on the 29 May~ To Saf: See i'm obedient, i didn't upload the photo we took together.
Today officially marks the last day i can indulge in nice food - and i really go all the way out la. Yummy curry chicken for lunch, followed by chocolates and cheescake for teabreak, finally ending with duckmeat for dinner. But all this would have to be put on hold, because i am going to follow a one month intensive diet plan drawn out by Hubby. Here's a small printscreen of it:
People who have known me well enough would probably know i do not have enough self-discipline and determination and i give up super easily when it comes to food. So Hubby added some fineprints at the bottom, one of which i found quite funny.
"I) If you cheat or dont follow this diet / exercise plan, it means you dont love your hubby anymore."
&
"E) Fruits include apples / oranges / pears / bananas, no durian / mango etc"
But i like mango!!! It's my favourite fruit! And now i can't eat it. So to be reasonable, i gave myself a limit of one month too see if his diet plan does work out for me. Let us 拭目以待。 And he is damn smart lah, this plan is only for me. He can eat whatever he wants and not exercise. Not fair when he is so fat too!
So please friends, if we are going out during this one month, please do not tempt me with fatty fried food, because i SUCCUMB to temptations!! Thank you so much~!~
Lifetime
