I used to lose weight at work. But now, to the contrary, I'm gaining weight at work. If the stress level of my previous job is ranked at 9, my current job is 1 (or could be less than 1? Hiak.) Kinda boring.
Must do something at work! Stand up and do some simple exercise!

May day - Melbourne
I've been thinking of going somewhere for a short trip for quite some time, just that I dunno where to go. I really want to avoid somewhere hot. It would be good if it's a four season country. As yet, it would be best if it won't cost me a bomb.
As I saw this email in the morning few days ago, I quickly go and check whether I could grab this cheap ticket and take the advantage of Wesak holiday. Incredibly, the ticket cost me $468.32 only! So I quickly told my cousin, who apparently was the only I would msn before 8:30am. Who knows he's so ON and told me "go go go", which then pushed me further to call up my other cousin, brother and mum. Subsequently run into my boss's room and told her that I want to on leave. For the whole morning I was so busy with grabbing the tickets, over little bit guilty to say that I was not working at all for the morning. Not just the morning, in fact the whole day, cos in the later part of the day we 4 were very busy chatting in the chatroom. 史无前例.
Sis will be meeting us in Melbourne. The best part is she can also arrive in airport at almost the same timing as us, and fly back to Brisbane at the same time as we fly back to Singapore. Due to long hour flight, I can imagine how tiring it would be on the first day of arrival. Thus, we intend to laze around the city and collect some information at the information centre. In the belief that the two mothers couldn't sleep in flight, they can then rest in the hostel if they want to.

In the belief that the two mothers couldn't sleep in flight, they can then rest in the hostel if they want to. The draft itenerary will be as follow:
Day 1 - Melbourne City
Day 2 - Great Ocean Road
Day 3 - Ballarat
Day 4 - Melbourne City
Day 5 - Philips Island
Day 6 - Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley
Day 7 - Melbourne City & back Singapore
Frankly, I'd feel sorry for myself if I failed to grab the tickets at this cheapest ever price. In the afraid that the tickets on sale would not available should we late, we made the decision almost in half an hour which was really maddening. Except for my mum and aunt who used to be 婆婆妈妈, for which their tickets were booked few hours later, but still manage to grab at the same price. *winks*
Really looking forward to re-visiting Australia 4 years later.
Love fragrance
L'occitane lauched a new set of cherry blossom fragrance sometime ago. As I looked at the brochure I could "feel" the fragrance already. It's difficult that such design and the colour will not catch my attention.
Aiming at this set of product, especially the fragrance touch. 就是很爱香。

That's the fact
Just little bit of grumble.
It's factual that ppl do see things on surface. If you're incapables or not an expert in your field, never mind. Make sure you know to act. Act as a capable staff and you'll still be rewarded. Of course, make sure your boss sees your act. That would also mean that you can be slack at work when your boss is not around.
This made me think of one fine line concluded for relationship as I was told earlier: No matter how best a girl fit to be wife, she fails if she doesn't know to act in the presence of elders.
I've been pained by the fact but what to do? That's life.

没有重点，只是沉重
这是一篇重360公斤的post.
他和她结婚13年。他们之间的问题在13年后浮上台面。
有一天在逛街的时候，她碰见了他。身边还有一个女人。他给两个人做了简单的介绍。她也大方的没有泼妇骂街，也没有质问。回家后，她问他到底要出轨几次。他说这次他是认真的。既然东窗事发，他索性光明正大不回家。甚至在白天把这个女人大方的带回家。他没有顾及到小孩的感受，天真的以为这一切对小孩没有多大影响。殊不知亲子关系已经走样。
这样的日子过了2个月。她反复的想，深知自己进退两难。可是她再也不能给她的丈夫多一丝的包容。这样的日子对她来说是精神折磨。所以她希望长辈可以为她做主。
在家庭会议，他说出了事情的经过。他一方面不想放弃这个家，却也不想放弃这个女人。可是，如果两者只能选一样，他会选择后者。他说，即使他之前有过其他的女人，那些都是逢场作戏，他没有认真。可是这次，他是认真的。。。 因为他需要的是这样的女人。一个旺夫，在事业上可以帮得上忙的女人。
这个女人出现了以后，他突然觉得运气变好，偏财运也超旺，事业蒸蒸日上。靠这女人的关系，他在中国也分到一杯羹。所以对这个中国女人疼爱有加。他不介意花钱在这个女人身上，因为他觉得那是值得的。只要和她在一起，花掉的钱一定可以双倍赚回来。这是他的观念。两个人去中国旅游加工干的时候，算命先生告诉他这女人可以旺他30年，现在的妻子和他却是刑克。算命先生的说法更加深了他对这女人的想法，也更加认定这女人的地位。他对她说，这些东西都不是她可以给他的。所以，他要这样走下去，即使他没有把握他会不会真的因为这女人成功。她只觉得他疯了。像被人蛊惑了一样。相信一个在芽笼卖的中国女人可以旺他30年，可以帮他赚很多钱。
他说他这些年来负担太重，而她在他最辛苦的时候并没有拿钱出来帮他。家里的费用也没有帮忙负担。听他这么一说，她觉得心灰意冷。女人得工作，得照顾孩子，得看好家等丈夫回来。如果自己赚来的钱没有拿给丈夫应酬交际，或者补贴家用就是对他没有帮助。这样的说法叫女人太沉重。
没有人支持他的做法。旁听者都觉得荒谬。显然大家对中国女人没什么好感。加上她是一个背景如此复杂的女人。用脚趾头想都知道这女人要的是什么。一个正经的女人不会破坏别人的家庭；一个有本事的女人不会去芽笼卖；一个聪明的女人知道要对谁下手。是他无知吗？还是身在迷雾中什么都看不清楚？脚踏实地的过日子不行吗？说这个女人旺夫就可以不顾一切的娶她吗? 有责任感点好吗？大人的事可能签一个字就解决了，但小孩呢？影响他们的用什么来衡量？
听到这样的一个故事，我愣了一下，不知道该说些什么。所谓的爱情没有天长地久，没有随着模式的改变而升华。反之，感情随时会因为一些外来因素而生异。夫妻若没有白头偕老不算夫妻。当爱情与面包相冲时，男人都选择面包。当然，也有女人可以为面包牺牲爱情。当然，世上不乏幸福美满的家庭，白头到老的夫妻。只是，现代人对婚姻的态度太过潇洒，潇洒得说结婚就结婚，所离婚就离婚。是我保守不时髦吗？我真的没办法认同。我始终认为婚姻是责任的问题。
题外话，人说女人好骗，我说男人更好骗。用美人计就够了。古代多少君王死在美人手上？吴王夫差就是一个。阴阳相克的命运，永远逃不过那纠结。

It's not safe!
Many will agree that it's so much safer and comfortable no matter how late it is. I, also take this for granted.
On Saturday night, my housemate was robbed in the lift of my block. She was badly injured as she fought with the robber just because she didn't want to lose her bag. Bruises are everywhere, on her back, hand, arm, waist and foot. Reached the floor where we stay, the guy snatched her bag as she walked out from the lift. She shouted so loud and nobody was lending a hand.
Heard from the opposite auntie neighbour, Kim Tian has not been a safe place. Robbery happens quite often around this area. The robbers seem to know the place well as they know where to flee. Right next to our block is multi-storey car park where it's also connected to bus stop and another residential area. A very convenient spot.
I recalled the days where I used to work late and it's spine-chilling. I could be still walking along the street at 12 plus when I had all my personal belongings, including passport and 2 cellphones, as well as laptop in one bag, carried with no vigilance. That's because I have taken the safety in Singapore for granted. Fortunate enough, nothing bad happened in the past.
This also made me recalled my nearly robbed experience in lift when I was working at Menara Pelangi. If you're in doubt, don't step into the lift; Or, if you notice the person is suspicious only after you step into the lift, look into that person's eye and talk any rubbish to that person just to buy time. Because the moment you voice, you'll shock the person who's going to do something bad on you.
Safety is not granted. Safety is about self vigilance and self protection.
