sick.....i didnt noe that airlines chg the check in procedure timing....i use to check in like 40-30mins prior to flying time, and there was no problem....tonite, i meet my colleague at 8pm, we are suppose to fly at 8.40pm. the counter told me that the flight is close for check-in alrd!!!
and unfortunately, they could not finalise my colleague's visa, we have to go on the next flight.....hai....sick....now....10pm, we have to wait until 1am for the next flight.....
and her husband gave me a black face, like i cause the whole problem!!! sick....
Rush thru my maggi mee breakfast at 11am and meet livingstone and elmo to go JB yesterday. There was a jam, and guess wat, i saw a cute open-roof mini truck/jeep (i dunno wat im suppose to call that!), it has Louis Vuitton leather upholstrey for its 4 seats as well as the dashboard, and is driven by 2 guys in stripped polo tee and sun shades. I think that was cute but insane...hahahaha...imagine driving to JB telling pple "hey, im rich, rob me!" hahahaha....
lunch was delicious at jln tampoi, bak-kut-teh , fish-soup, pig throtters and pig kidney, yum yum!! the 'factory tour' at Gan-Seng was indeed impressive!! those gigantic machines, finishing works done by hand by those workers, automated processes....wow.... maybe i mountain tortise, but gosh, i was really impress with the systematic process they follow. Machines really work wonder sometimes...i saw the printing and making of paper bags, carbon copy invoices, hot stamping, offset printing, die-cut.....wow.....
chia and carol were so nice as hosts. we were brought for shopping and food till 12mn.....their house,....omigod....it is so spacious....a 2 storey private apartment, just the 2 of them. Every bedroom comes with an attached bathroom. It is soooo cosy. and it was really affordable! RM700k, freehold. Now I fully understand why more and more singaporeans dun mind staying at malaysia. One more thing!! guess wat!? their water bill....RM5 every mth! they must be kidding, but take their words, they are not. RM5??? did they bathe?....hahaha, ya, they showered 2 times a day. hmmmm....
this morning, woke up to find ryan restless and sad sitting on ah-gong's tummy, head lying on the sofa. something must be wrong....ya, he had fever. we rush him to doctor ho. poor bb, jus before cny....anyway, betta then having it on cny huh....
my flight to sydney is 8.40pm tonite, my luggage is still not close, so lazy. before i had this job, i envy pple who travel at work. Now that i got what i wanted, it doesn't feel so wonderful. I joined the coy last march, and im already feeling sick. R&R is a bonus, but work is still priority in a foreign land on a business trip. My inner self is hinting that i shld do something abt this.....heh heh....wat do u think?... =)
KL is sick and would not be able to join us in sydney....in-sha-alah.....hopefully she recovers before cny...
I'll be back next friday....lucky it's sydney, and lucky agn its an exhibition....hopefully there are no hiccups....in-sha-alah, i hope wat happen in California's cargo in nov 04' do not happen in sydney this time....in-sha-alah, in-sha-alah....hahaha, say a few more times, hopefully really in-sha-alah....hahaha
see u guys.... smILe....
congratulations to my dear xr who delivered a bb boy yesterday evening....i am sooo happy for her....too bad i can't visit her today....another time perharps....

Indeed, very bz.
Fortunately, i've hnin (attachment student) to share the workload...
2 more controller boxes for Dubai project...and omigod, I won't be in the office next wk, and the shipment needs to go out next tuesday! nitemare.....drilling, screwing, clamping, crimping, soldering, circuit assembly.....omigod....all in 1 day, i didnt even have the time to wash my mug to drink today's water....
so guilty, i was suppose to meet miss quen and bud at bugis tonite. We were craving for steamboat today. however the work makes it impossible for me to leave early as planned, miss quen decided to chg the venue as i still need to bring the items for sydney and my laptop home before i can meet up with them...had our dinner at Holland's NYDC instead .... friday nite, as usual, it was so noisy, we almost had to shout in the restaurant
to tok to each other, hahahaha....
dunno why i didnt have the appetite for dinner tonite, probably too tied up at work that i lost my food sense....
something worth mentioning: it is hnin's last day of attachment today, we bought her a winnie the pooh softtoy that she likes very much as a farewell gift. She was soooo happy and excited when she saw the gift. She was the most hardworking female attachment student we, or rather I, had worked with. Maybe she's a foriegner, she tends to be more dilligent and curious. I must say she's quite smart technically, and has a sense of survival. hmmmm....but she's still not so exposed to career politics and handling the kind of smart PR in the office....hopefully this attachment has enriched her....all the best hnin....i hope we left significant footprints in ur path.... =)
at the same time, i also realise that lili is indeed a special HR/Admin lady i ever met. im impressed when she always go the extra mile to make sure we get our flight details, claims, and etc in the soonest possible manner...even after office hours....she left a footprint in my path...
it is the last i will see May in the office today considering that i wun be back in the office next wk, and her last day is next fri.....we'll wait for the old man to come back then we'll go chill out again....All the best May!!! may u find true significant satisfaction in ur next job.... =)

But i was happy....I got myself some cute bikini bras and some cuties....heh heh...all for 40% and 70% off....now it pays to skip pump class....hahaha
we were discipline though, we went for combat class at 8.50pm, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT WILLIAM DID NOT TURN UP FOR THE CLASS! make us waited for 15mins...in vain.... %^(!#^(_+
Have u been to the new ITE @ simei? guys, u got to drop by if u happen to drive by, have ur lunch at the canteen! It looks like a foodcourt, with good food, good rate. I had a big serving of katsu don for only $3.50. I was well fed...im going back for more...heh heh, ITE students are so fortunate. =)
As i walk past a muslim car in the car park, i saw the car sign that says "God Prophet Muhammed says 'God has no mercy for those who has no mercy on others' "
hmmmm......
After so many err....weeks!....i finally get the time to shop decently....heh heh... =)
hasnt got much things to buy for myself,....only got a pair of earrings....was more bz catching up and toking to adoh more than browsing for clothings...
*couting my fingers*...it was 3 months plus since i last saw adoh...we definately need more time than tonite to catch up!
when i was in the bus on my way hme tonite, one mid 20s young man came up to me in the bus, show me his phone and ask me "miss, ta-jiang-shen-meh?" (i.e wat she say huh?) , i was stunned by his question, becos the sms on his phone was "why?"....i looked at him, doubting that he was blind, after which i told him "why lor"... then he say, "ok, thanks".... he went behind me to sit after that, and was singing like nobody's business...... *scratch head*
my body is aching after last nite's workout.... arghh....
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
Darn it! I lose my stamina for the body pump sessions after missing it for like 7 sessions...*cry out loud*
CFC must have generated lotsa business lately,cos the gym was so bloody crowded tonite!!

Question: How do u decide if this person is ur soul mate or Mr right?
By look? By conversation? By guessing? By chance? By luck? By frens? By then? ... or .... by time?
many pple told me "You will noe when he appear"
is that really true?
if this is exactly true, why is the divorce rate so high these days?
After all, courtship is always sweeter than sweetest. what if u meet ur Mr/ Mrs right only after u sign that dotted line and got married? Is it right for u to say u wanna re-choose after that?

Finally touched down at 7am this morning. Did someone jus bathe with Gucci Envy in the airport? hahaha, singapore smells so nice, smells like home. =)
I almost couldn't make it back with Yan last nite in Dubai. The customer wanted me to stay for another day for the customer's training. "In-sha-Alah**",our partner managed to convince the customer to have the training conducted after their EIT holiday and it will be conducted by our partner. 3 cheers for those who helped to make my return happened!! =) Thank u so much....
Tired. not enuf sleep. not enuf rest for the past 10 over days. work work work....so no life....the only time i can catch some rest is between the journeys when we travel from 1 city to another in UAE. It at least gave me at least 1.5hrs to nap in the car. we rush thru lunch almost everyday at abt 3-4pm. By the time we had dinner in dubai at 9-10pm, we were too tired to stay in the best appetite.
Nevertheless, this was an enriching trip and expereience for me. Now i noe how the arabians work....heh heh
**"In-sha-Alah" = Arabian forr God's willing
