Farewell, take care

Someone say i'm not updating my blog often. But that someone updates slower than me.
So I dig out some photos to ease her boredom.


Changi Airport Terminal 3... おきです


Do, Re, Mi, Fa


My aunties, my sis, my mom and me


My dad printed out this photo and frame it up. Looks better on paper. The color's abit screwed here.
Repeat after me

"I must not call people dumb."
"I must not call people dumb."
"I must not call people dumb."
"I must not call people dumb."
"I must not call people dumb."

Argh... dumb ******!!!

Are you happy?



Well, another tear-jerking terminal disease, dying lover movie. Nevertheless, it's a good movie. I cried. Realize I like watching this kinda genre? Makes me wanna appreciate life more. It's not sad-ending in my opinion, it's a touching ending. Watch the video clip, the song lyrics can be found on my 23rd Dec entry.



What's the most precious thing to you? For me, it's memories. Something you can never have again, that's the most valuable.

Few days ago, I met up with my buddies for dinner. Gave them a treat and pamper them a bit. After dinner, we sat down at Mac and had dessert. The same topic that never fail to bring up, money not enough. (thinks: jack neo's movie) Maybe I've been brought up differently. When I was young, I always ask my parents why I dun have grandparents. I remember mommy's reply was always the same. "If you have money, go find them, else they wun even wanna see you." Having this impression in mind, I grew up detesting people who cares about money more than kinship. Sadly, it's hard to find anyone around me who doesn't get tempted by money, myself included. Yes, money's not everything, but without it, you're nothing.

I've heard stories of foreigners childhood days as homeless people, single parent, having the burden to bring back cash as young as junior schoolers. Stuff that doesn't really happen here sine we have such wonderful government who takes good care of the less fortunate. And I look at myself, pampered like shit. I'm really really fortunate to be me. I have almost whatever I want. Yet, I yearn for more. *Sigh* Feel like slapping myself at times. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, since I live in a very much developed country. Materialism is 2nd nature. But I make it a point to give back to society. I might not be doing enough, but at least I'm making a difference to at least 1 kid I'm sponsoring. Just sometimes, I just hope people around me give thanks more than procrastinate. That way, we will be happier right. I hope my friends are happier. As long as we can still sit down and afford a meal at MacDonald, money is enough. Well, whatever happens, I still love everyone. *Smiles*

Now, here's my wishlist :

Haa... *read my mind : ... I wan a synthesizer* Thanks!

P.S: No, I'm not touching my hard-earn bonus. That goes to the rainy days fund. =)

Work work work

Ok, I'm going to rattle on and on about work so basically everyone can just skip this entry, I just need to vent it all out.

I arrived at work today, not surprised but still shocked and amazed yet again that things are in a mess again. See, I'm taking care of this super long staying corporate group and their reservation, billing etc are rather complicated and requires another set of SOP instead of the usual check in and out stuff. So I walked over to my table where the night manager and day manager is at, and showed them the 'mistake' done by the night shift staff. After I walked back to another table to continue my morning checks on this group, the night shift manager went to 'correct' the staff mistake, BUT... it only got worst. Instead of linking an individual profile, he link to a group profile. Totally wrong!

Obviously, I'm not a very morning person, so I expressed my double shock out loud. Alas, he was gone in seconds. When I started to get ready for work at my table, I open the hotel general email (which I take care of during office hours) only to find out there's 43 unread emails. This is not the first or second time already. It's more than my hands and legs combined.

The reception was busy today, so I went out to help, along with the other managers. Every time I stand at the counter, something is bound to displease me. Be it the tidiness, the attitude of the staff, the stock at the counter, etc. Helping a guest to make photocopies of their passport on a recycled paper. And it was revealing another guest's room rates and other charges. Leaving 2 guests standing at the counter and attending to another guest. Doing cashiering when staff does not have cashier rights. Why do they not have cashier rights? because they are not train or equipped with enough knowledge to handle payment. If anything were to screw up? Who will clear the shit? Me...

Am I expecting too much from everyone? I'm simply just asking all to do their job correctly. Instructions given to follow. Is it that difficult? They can fight about who goes for first break and all, but when it comes to work quality, they simply cannot be bothered. God knows what's gonna happen once I step out back to the counter. It's either they break down or I break down. I can simply faint with disbelief merely standing at the counter for 15 mins. The things going on in this department is beyond anyone's imagination. OMG... where is the powerful team we once had when I first joined?

Or maybe someone should take away part of my brain, so I wouldn't think so much? Why must I even spoon feed a manager? OMG...

Save the Sharks!



Definitely watching this movie.

Giving Thanks

I treat my buddies to a dinner feast today. The food is good. Love their soba. Double Lovely.

The call for celebration? Yes, double blessing at the start of the year. Finally my promotion has been announced and the bonus letter came today. Results of the bonus were beyond my expectations although the hotel finance controller told me personally my gradings already. But, I was still shocked. I couldn't contain my happiness and starting laughing away for a good 5 mins. Yes, I got Grade A. There's A to C and in-between. So far, everyone's getting different percentage of bonus.

Response to comments on previous entries:
Xinhui: Go get the chair if that's wat you wan. Haa, IKEA. Comfy Comfy
Annoymous: Ya, my table is actually a coffee table from IKEA. And the super big chair also IKEA. Lol... it's actually not that small, but my photography skills ain't pro. =)


This is it. I'm officially losing my social life. My 'workstation' is sooo comfy I can't bear to leave it for 1 sec. I 'stole' the lovely chair from the living room. Ops! and You wun wanna know the number of wires that run below that table just to connect everything together. My back almost broke doing just that. This is the final arrangement after weeks of shifting here and there in the middle of the night. Bless my neighbors who tolerated the noise.

Oh ya, my guitar finally got a stand... my dad force me to get one. Why? cos when he cleans my room, every time he picks up my guitar to clean the floor, he's afraid it'll fall when he puts it back standing upright. Haaa.. I remember my dad did cause my other guitar to tumble and broke 1 string cos he was attaching a wire to my tv a few years back. Now everything is all stable, no worries.

I need more reasons to get out of the house.

No Hard, Oily, Spicy

I was on medical leave on tuesday due to bad stomach cramps and several days of diarrhoea. Took an afternoon nap and felt better for dinner with F.L.Y. I'm currently still on medication, feeling rather restricted with what I can consumed. The list of stuff I cant take at present:

- apple (can't bite)
- milk (diarrhoea)
- banana (need I say more?)
- KFC (doc say no oily food)
- laksa (no spicy too)
- curry

and the list goes on. First I can't eat certain food anymore because of my braces, and now... かなしみね。

いますぐねる。明日勉強から。多分?(<-pardon my super broken jap... LMAO)
今少し寂し,仕事とか大きらいです。泣くいいですか?

Begin

My old habit is making it's return.

Sleeping late. Way... late. And my book on my table is stuck on page 23 for 2 days straight. Damn.

Work is horrendous. I just hope I need to endure till end of the month. No more delays boss... please~! Keeping a secret on the big change until it's officially announced. Some of my colleagues know already but I'm keeping it under wrap for others.

My managers wanna hire Feng Shui Master to take a look at our office. LMAO. But they should. Considering the shitty stuff everyone's going thru. It's taking a toll on the team morale, not forgetting my boss'. Hopefully, things will brighten up soon ya~

Monday not so blue

Someone commented I'm not updating frequently enough. So here I am. Writing more about my work+sleep life. Things in the office are the same. Had a impromptu meeting at 3pm and it lasted till 6pm. I had a major headache one hour after the meeting start and had to resort to banging my forehead with my palm. My boss (who was sitting beside me) immediately reacted: "ya... I'm having a headache too."

And becos of the loooooong meeting, I was late for dinner... again. Like what's new they say. By the time I reach MOF, their main course were cleared from the table already. I had to inhale mine thou cos I was way hungry. Desert was yummy, except for the sesame ice-cream flavor, it tasted too sesame for my liking. Sweet fen got me a white bendable keyboard all the way from Shanghai and sweet yin got me hand phone accessory with my nickname on it. *Thinks to self: Today is gift receiving day or wat*

Thank goodness I'm on leave tml to sign some stuff for sis. No work! Yippie!!!
I step on my own toe today. *Ouch*
How dumb can one get?..... This dumb.

축 생일


Appetizer?! (I'm learning to eat Kimchi.)


The Birthday Gal!


Hyang To Gol. Two Thumbs Up.


Still in a Christmas Mood. 2 more days left.

My apologise for not updating for the last few days. How did I spend them? Hmm.. I had a great xmas celebration back home. Den it's back to work my ass off. And it was abit teary for the last few hours of year 2007. I couldn't make it to dinner with lin and yin, and stretch my working hours until an hour before the countdown. And, the worst case scenario, countdown at work, again... for the 3rd year in a row. Hiak!

Can I officially call myself a workaholic?

Fresh new start of the year, hopefully, better things to come soon. Sis is flying off soon, fen and ruby is coming back tomorrow. I'm in a mixed emo.

New year resolution? Earn alot of money! Ha Ha Ha... Merry Christmas!
