一种米养百种人

一种米养百种人...how true this is....last night, i received a very weird email.....someone from the europe team set up a meeting for everyone around the region...US, Europe and Asia...and expected all of us to attend...the problem is, he set it at 4pm HK time...which means, it was 4am in US and 10am in Europe...well..that's one problem...the second problem is the asia team has an important meeting with client set long long time ago and obviously there was a conflict in schedule...so, all of us politely declined his invitation and said there was a conflict of schedule...thinking that he might just check our schedule again to make sure we were all free and resend another invitation...who knows, he sent an email to EVERYONE saying that how could all of us declined the call and now the call couldnt happen~...oh my...i didnt expect that...i wonder how would he expect us to attend when initially he already set at the WRONG time??? so i politely told him that we could make this happen if he tries to schedule it some other time other than 4pm on that day....GEEeeezzzz....there are all kinds of ppl out there man....oh well..i might have ppl complaining abt me as well...im just sharing my experience and one kind of ppl i met :)

落井下石 - double trouble

I bit on my tounge one day while having my dinner.....OUCH...i'm sure you know how painful that is~~~well, i guess one pain wasnt sufficient enough, the next day, i woke up feeling even more painful on my wound and found out i had an ulcer on my wound...it was really really painful coz it was at the edge of my tounge..couldnt talk properly, eat properly~~so i drank a lot of chinese herbal tea hoping to get rid of the ulcer at least...who knows, the next day, i felt even more painful and checked my toungue..OMG OMG, i had another ulcer on the other side of my wound!!!! double happiness???!! crap...it was like someone putting salt on my wound!! sigh~~~took 3 - 4 days for the ulcer to go away...

see the weird thing on the right side of my tounge? even making my tounge uneven!! poor me...*SOB* *SOB*

Innovation - Chilli crab

was in singapore last week...of coz one thing on our agenda was to eat the famous CHILLI CRABS...so our very nice and handsome colleague brought us to one of its famous CHILLI CRABS restaurant...it was a cool monday night and we went off earlier just to avoid the crowd...yup, we made the right decision coz after a few mins we sat down, the restaurant was flooded with people...*phew* there were so many choices..black pepper crab, chilli crab, hot pot crab, whatever "crab" you can think of :p my colleague said the hot pot crab in that restaurant was good but i wasnt about to give up chilli crab..so he suggested to have TWO crabs...OMG, luckily we went for chilli crab only or else, you know what will happen....it was really really really really good....the interested part is of coz not the chilli crab...well, something related....it was such a big crab and there was only four of us...one gal ate like bird, so we had to take k of the rest....after digging in so many food (not yet in the blog)....there were 3 pieces of crab left...same part (the body of the crab)...can tell why nobody likes to eat it coz it's too troublesome to eat...all of us were lazy...but we had to finish so each of us (except for the small bird lady), we took one each and started eating...what was interesting was for the same part, 3 of us eat it differently and from there, i analyzed our personality....here's the result:

1. guy 1: tearing all of the shell of the crab to get the meat...his plate was full of bits and pieces of the shell and of coz, he managed to clean it off => will do anything to get what he wants..typically boy, violent (><), just do what he wants to get what he wants
2. guy 2: having the crab on his left hand while trying to use chopstick to dig as much as possible. anlysis: he's very neat and organized, careful of image and approach...so slower in achieving things 100% because of concern to mess up things
3. me: having the crab on my left hand while using my fingers to dig in to get the meat. Analysis: try to work around problem by using whatever i have available. Not so neat and organized....

don't know how true my analysis is...unless you think differently, drop me a comment or two or more :))

unique Singapore

Am in Singapore office this week....and came across some really funny stories....yesterday, we met a really humourous taxi driver...we started off the conversation about my colleague's tiny hotel bathroom complaint, then the driver started to ask if we know what "ERP" stands for....FYI ERP is written everywhere at the roadside....originally, it means something like electronic road payment or something...the driver said, nope, in singapore, it means EVERYDAY ROB PEOPLE... >_<

the second story is: this morning, i was in a hurry coz i need to call my boss....before i got in office, i have to pass through guard house...and i did a short cut by walking through the drive way...ngam ngam a car was coming out and the bar was lifted up, so i just walked pass it carefully (not wanting to have my head knocked by the thing)...who knows, i heard a shout behind me, asking me to not use that entrance...it was the guard...he asked me to go out and use the walk way next to it...DUH~~~i was already inside and now i had to do it once more time...so instead of arguing with the guard which i knew i wouldnt win the fight, i decided to do what he asked me to do...oh well..he was just doing his job and hey, it's singapore.....they follow rules...no one can try to be creative!!!

HOME SWEET HOME

emotions

Was watching a cartoon to relax myself and suddenly, the theme of the cartoon knocked me hard on my head that i too have the same feeling...have you ever felt that something was soOOOo important to you that no matter what and how, you would try to get it...when you have it, you are afraid to lose it and would do anything to protect it....and after time goes by and you look at it and realise that it's not so important to you anymore....and started to ponder why is it so important and valuable to you then and now, it's just an object....i remember when i was young, mum and dad bought us a few barbie dolls...we all love them and liked changing clothes for them, combed their hair and started to make up stories to play....i still remember that i vowed to buy as many barbie dolls as possible when i have money one day and i wanted to have barbie dolls all over my house....and after x yrs passed by, i found my then valuable barbie dolls are now sitting like junks in my junk box...now that i have money to buy barbie dolls, i just don't have the urge to have them now...i wouldnt know where to keep them and what to do with them...i also don't know why i was so in love with it....it's the same for a lot of other things...do you have the same feeling as i?

here's the cartoon that clicked my thoughts.....

A gift of LOVE

Bought this for my special someone :) i hope he likes it :) *BLUSH*

See the small small shiny word?

Endless 没完没了

苦苦苦!!! it seems like i'm always OT'ing in office...either early in the morning or late at night....and during the day when my boss is sleeping, i am in office making ensure all my tasks on my to do lists are done....my to do lists go on and on and on...and tasks keep getting added to my lists and of coz strike off as well...but it just seems like i have endless things to do...why? at this time, i started to feel the imbalance....i gotta let my boss know im overloaded....he keeps throwing things to do and what's worse...the deadlines are mission impossible...some of things are within my control, i can try..but some, it depends on third parties to help....that also means i have to give them impossible deadline!!! like last week, when i arrived office at 830am and saw this email from my boss asking HR to provide certain info and he wanted it today and now!!! crap, so i had to call HR and explain to them..despite they were really really busy with month end closing, they helped out..of coz they will also think i'm unreasonable la.... :'(

one night during a meeting, my boss mentioned that he has no life coz he has to work over the weekend (yeah, right)....i went silent for a while (thinking, look who's talking), and i replied, i don't have a life too....then we laughed it off (i assume, we just laughed it off, try to forget about it and i just have to accept the way it is)...

im now trying not to think about my life after next week...coz i would be darn busy!!! Seriously, i think i'm overloaded and underpaid!!!! HEEEEeeeellllppppp~~~~~~

Jane getting physical

YAAAHooo, i'm now going to the gym...have been giving myself zillion of excuses of why i couldnt join a gym membership before....and finally, after putting on so much weight and feeling unhealthy, i just joined gym....for FREE!!! you may wonder why i can go for free...actually, it's a free trial provided by the gym to citibank card holder la...and i can go for free for 6 months....have been putting this off for quite long and finally decided to go and have a try...it was really not bad and i will go back again...tada, see my temporary membership below? i'm so proud of myself for making my lazy bum went...hehehe..i didnt regret one bit!!! this gym uses Aaron Kwok as advertisement..yup, he has six pack!!!

Actually, the reason that pushed me to go is: i was watching a show one fine morning and there is this lady who is now 47 yrs old . She has become a body builder 2.5 yrs ago and started body building at the age of 45 and trains 6 days a week!!! she said she has to work twice as hard as the young folks coz of her old age...especially at her adominal area...she needs to put a lot of more effort to make it look so perfect...there~~~~my motivation...i realised if i don start early, i will have to work TWICE as hard...the thought of it just makes me shiver with fear~~~as a lazy bum, i think it's better to start early, than late....HIP, you know what i mean? hehehe..
