小人 vs 贵人

生活中到处都是小人。如果还有贵人相助，那还不至于太可悲。

Finally got the FS out today, phew. Tomorrow is the filing deadline and the report was only signed on 30.07.07, 8:20pm. What about the printing and bindng?

It's unreasonable to request ppl to work on it at this last minute. Especially some ppl is not really welcomed by the department, the ego kind of person wouldn't make such request. Then who's going to do it? Me again... For the third times I requested the Report Department to buy me this favour. It's irritating. The supervisor is not easy to deal with. When she's not in good mood, you'd better shun and don't go kacau her. But luckily, for all these while she's been my 贵人. If not because of her, I don't know how bad state I'd be in.

Again, her usual way of tone:

"Hey! You sent in at this hour and there are so many works ahead, can't you see? Ppl have been queueing before you long long time ago! All need to be out by tomorrow morning you know? Look at the workload, I don't know what time I'll need to work today. Until 3am also cannot finish you know?"

Yeah... I understand.... I stumbled in words. What to say? Although I very wish she could help me. Then she opened her mouth again:

"Today no matter how you beg me, I'm not going to do it for you. Tell your manager to wait until tomorrow."

Okay... I thought it's just hopeless to get it done by tonight. There were really a lot more printing and binding piled up there and true, they queue before me. I gave up, I didn't want to pressurise her.

Then 5 mins later, here she came again:

"Queenie, last year we issued 18 sets leh, you only want 8 this year?"

Hoho... I saw light in the tunnel. She's soft-hearted still. I knew she merely grumbled sometimes... in the end she'd still do it for me.

"So how? Settled? At least an xin liao huh.. can go home now? Don't keep it as habit huh."

Yeah..... At least it's not a burden to me anymore.

Big thanks to Jenny - for allowing my last minute request and jumping the queue, again and again.

Rashes~ rashes ~ arghhhhhhh

The rashes on my leg really upset me!!

I thought it's been getting better last week as it was not so obvious on Sunday after I applied this "万金肤宝" - a cream last bought in Beijing. As I return Singapore, it becomes pinkish in colour again! Argh! What's wrong with the room huh? I wonder. It's really irritating.

Talking about the rashes, this pig very "got heart" sent me sms asking me how it goes every now and then. Also, very the "househusband" kind asked me get an anti-dust mite mattress protector. Not just once, but a few times! *so nagging* But seriously, it's not that I don't want to get myself a mattress protector, just that I don't know how long I'll be staying here, so what's the point of getting more and more things into this room? Here goes the conversation:

KC:
How. Got bitten? You should get a mattress protector. Can buy in Jusco.

Me:
Dunno. Din go and see carefully. Eh... mattress protector just one piece of cover on top rite? Can prevent dust mite meh?

KC:
It's one piece of thick clothes. Think maybe got treated with special thing to anti dust mite. You need to choose the one with anti dust mite. Mite won't climb.

Me:
But the bed sheet will oso got dust mite one ma. Rite?

KC:
Jie jie, you can wash the bedsheet with detergent and put disinfectant to clean la. Who ask u to throw bedsheet? Then when it's cleaned, put protector first.

Me:
Wat is disinfectant? Wa... U really househusband lei. Noe so much abt housework.

KC:
I bet you da xiao jie never do housework that's y breed dust mite. Walao, go Giant buy dettol liquid clothes disinfectant la. Add in together when wash clothes.

Then, there's another blood vomitting conversation which I laughed till die:

Veerla:
Eh.... got bed sheet? got double bed sheet cover??????

Sau Jun:
Apa??
double? don't have

Veerla:
I wanna change my bedsheet.. last night I slept on my jade mattress without cover leh..

Sau Jun:

Daniel:

Veerla:
Eh.. cheap??? walao.... one cost at least $50 lor. Last time we bought at $50 rite WSJ

Daniel:

Veerla:

Daniel:

Veerla:

Daniel:

Veerla:
hahahahahahahaha

Daniel:
eh, u should buy anti-dust mite mattress protector, u know? About 30+ SGD. Cheap nia.

Erm.... Now then I notice I always got myself into dilemma. Not resolving problem at all. Why so many worries??

But anyway, thanks for the info. At least I know there is this anti-dust mite mattress protector and disinfectant in this world and where to get them. HA~

Dragon fruit tree flowered!

While everybody's crazy about durian.... my dragon fruit tree finally flowered!! It's one and half year wait. But only one fruit... okay... slowly... See? My Ah Mai sms me as she saw it. haha.



This is a giant species from Kahang. How I got this? There's one occassion I went outstation to Kahang and Rompin for audit. Having known that I like dragon fruits very much, the friendly and nice estate manager brought me 10 seedlings, 6 white fruit seedlings and 4 red fruit seedlings (a free lunch as they came at no cost). When come to planting, great strength is required as you'll need to dig a hole as deep as 2.5 meters to bury the hanger (usually hard wood or concrete). Then the 3 or 4 seedlings surround the hanger at 1 meter depth. I must say digging the hole was really tough. (err... I wasn't the one who dig the hole.. hiak... )

Every month, you must feed the dragon fruit plant with fertilisers. Of cos, watering is also essential. Must make sure the plants get enough water. Days continue as long as one and half year and you'll see the flower.... *wink*

Mr.Chiew asked me to call him when the dragon fruit ripe. I'm gonna give him a call these days to thank him.

Besides dragon fruit seedlings, Mr.Chiew also gave me 2 papaya seedlings (err... it's a special species from Indonesia, can't remember the name of the species). See the tree is so big and fruitful now. It's been "producing" fruits every now and then. Hmm... another seedling died cos don't know which clumsy stepped on it when the plant was still young.


This species of papaya tree is short. The fruit is sweet and it doesn't come with the smell. You know papaya come with a smell, which I really don't like it. Is it the smell of enzyme?? I don't know.... I only know it's somehow disgusting. This papaya doesn't have that kind of smell. hehe.

Err.... durian trees also got... but no interest in durian.

光说不做，只能在原点盘旋

A word from yiqi:

V, 没办法.. 你的工作就是这么分秒必争.. 一堆狗屁Deadline .. 真的会让你work until died.
晚上和你MSN你说你在working, 晕倒! 没日没夜的赶.. 有时候觉得你的工作时间比我还要长百倍! 你是有理由有资格抱怨的. 已经听你说多次要去走走..
那就去咯!! 等Deadline完后就去咯! “光说不做，只能在原点盘旋” .. 希望你也体会一下..

Agree.... 光说不做，只能在原点盘旋...... Thanks.

Actually yiqi, it's not that I don't want to make it true. Do you know I have actually blocked 2 weeks leave? Last week and this week. But see? I'M STILL WORKING. For your information, I have also blocked 3 weeks leave in July but was informed another deadline to commit in July today - another bomb. Let's see if I can go on leave in July...... But I don't get high expectation.

SIAN !! -_-

Another coffee session....

"Queenie, when's your last day?"
"Tomorrow..... "
"Ohh... not next Monday meh? I thought of getting you to get the FS signed on Monday. I think it's something that can make you happy before you go. By the way, any chances that you'd take back?"
*smilling*
"hmm... what's holding you back now? Is there anything I can help?"
*wordless* *smilling*
"Come... let's go for coffee..."

I had another counselling on the second last day (Gosh... still not giving up). This is the second time this AM had ever talked me around regarding my resignation. First round in office and now at Coffee Bean. I appreciate the time he spent on me. I also appreciate he actually shared his experience (he tendered before), his frustration with certain ppl and his mindset. I'm moved.

The other AM also offered me an IPO engagement. I mentioned to her that I need a break to revitalise my energy but the break would clash with the IPO engagement. She's kind enough to let me go on leave (if I were to take back the letter) and she'll also find somebody else to supervise the team during my absence. I suddenly feel that I see some light in the tunnel.

After the Japan reporting deadline, I find myself can calm down a bit and get my mind clear. I could have tendered without proper consideration. I feel better also when the stress is over. In addition, having so many rounds of counselling I feel that it's a blessing when I have managers who really care about me and offer me opportunities. There are many other ppl in the office who also suffer alone without any blessing. Many ppl also told me that I'm fortunate enough to be in one of the best mentor group which is also bu xing zhong de da xing. Some mentor managers totally bo chup about their mentees one.

What am I trying to say here? I think I'll take back the letter...... since I know that I'll be working with somebody I feel comfortable with.. who will not really stress me unlike the other manager.. why not give it a try right?

Unconditional help

It was raining cats and dogs this afternoon when I was having lunch at Amoy Street. None of us brought the umbrella. I felt eager to go back cos I had stupid things to rush today but due to the rain, there's just no way we could walk back to the office at that moment. Since nothing can be done, so I might as well buy myself a drink while waiting the rain to stop (which I think it's going to rain for some time).

Went down to the coffee stall and bought a cup of Teh-C. I don't quite often have lunch at Amoy Street due to the crowds. This coffee stall was also my first time visit.

Auntie said: 小妹 (hmm.... ya.... xiao mei again.... )。。。 你要什么？
I said: Auntie, 我要Teh-C。。。 带走。。。
Auntie said: 小妹。。 拿好好。。。哇，雨下很大。。
I said: 是咯。。。
Auntie said: 你没有带雨伞啊？？你要雨伞吗？ 我借你。

I was looking at her @_@ like this. Huh? Did I hear it wrongly? She's lending me, a nobody to her, umbrella in the believe that I'll return her. Then,

I said: 可是Auntie... 我们有3个人。。。

Auntie looked around and said: 不然我借你两把， 可以吗？

@_@ UNBELIEVABLE........... then I asked if I'd need to return her by today.

Auntie said: 不用紧啦，你下次来这里吃东西的时候再还我。。 不急的。。

Ohh... I can't believe it! Bringing a cup of Teh-C and 2 umbrella, my colleagues were very shocked to see me carry 2 umbrella also. They also got a shock of their life when I told them that it's from the coffee stall lady boss.

Auntie really made my day today.. Especially when the work life was grey, auntie gave me a rainbow to balance up. I really wonder why she'd lend me the umbrella. There were so many ppl standing around and waiting the rain to stop, but why me? It's like striking toto first prize. Hehe...

Seriously I can't recall the face of this Auntie now... but I'm really thankful...

*Opps... my colleagues asked me to buy toto today since they said it's a lucky day to me... I thought of buying today's date, which was 1804.... did this number come out?? I hope it didn't...

Some encouraging words..

This guy asked me to remember what he said.... so I decided to blog it....

"表逃避...表被生活的种种的不愉快给困扰着...
人活着就是为了寻找快乐...
因为快乐而活着...
当我们察觉到自己能在困境里找到快乐时,那就意味着我们已朝快乐的方向行走了...酱就能活的更开心哦..加油"

"一但做了决定就别后悔
后悔又后悔会很烦的
所以你就要保持立场...
这是解脱..."

I cannot imagine he'll say something like this to me.... (Yes, you don't look like one.. keke) Well.... Thanks anyway...

There's another guy who said this to me: If it's a wrong move... 那就将错就错吧。。。
Hmm... although this was followed by an email like this later on:
"UBI ...........!!!!! NEXT TIME...... DON'T WASTE TIME ON THIS KIND OF"BLOG"............ WHEN U COME BACK, I WILL PUNISH U LIKE A BEAST............ " -_-
