Tired...
I can feel the tiredness in my body!
Last nite, received a call from Mum. SB Auntie passed away yesterday night slightly after 11pm.
I immediately informed Sis & Bro. Sis told me to call her and both of us sobbed uncontrollably while i was conveying the news over the phone.
I immediately went to a room and thank god for ending Auntie's suffering and chanted the sutra.
Somehow, i can't get to sleep even at 1am... It was only after concentrating on my breathing that i managed to lull myself to sleep.
Now, i can feel the tiredness in my body. My parents had gone over to my Uncle's place to assist in the funeral rites and stuff. Auntie s 出殡 will be on this coming Saturday. Uncle is grieving inside and he is making himself busy with the funeral rites to numb his grief.
Mum is upset that her best friend and confidante has passed away.

Sheesh...
Sheesh, something that is supposed to be P&C and unintentionally discovered by me.....
Then this morning, another dept colleague emailed me about this P&C stuff and asked me about it!
Conclusion => The more you wanna hide, the more it is being exposed! Come clean about it!!!
*PS: Anna is weird today and i gotta put on my armour that made me invisible!

Pinch marks
Yesterday, I received a call from the childcare centre and the principal apologised to me. Claire was being pinched by her classmate.
The principal related the incident to me, the teacher was throwing the used diaper of her classmate and the moment she turned her back, Claire was being pinched by the classmate. It was quite serious as I saw the pinchmarks on Claire's arms (there was scab being formed & reddish)
The principal commented that Claire did not scream or cry in pain. I told the principal that Claire might have done something to provoke him to pinch her but it was unseen by the teachers. Based on Claire's personality, she will only cry if its very painful and she wont dare to cry or scream if she knew its her own fault. Plus, Mum has witnessed her disturbing her classmate before... Thus, she deserved it if she really went to provoke her classmate.
My colleague even proposed this theory (which i found might be true), if the classmate has not put on his diaper yet and Claire out of curiousity went to touch his privates or stuff, then it is understandable that he pinched her coz the principal also din tell me whether the boy has his diaper on or not!
When i went to fetch Claire, the principal apologised again. I got a shock when i saw the pinchmarks, i think the boy's nails were not trimmed. Claire screamed in pain when i applied tea tree oil on her wound. Haiz, this gal of mine!

Company Jokes II
By a twist of fate, I heard facts = jokes about my company & learnt something from the veterans aka ex colleagues in the industry.
One ex colleague who was relocated from Singapore to Hong Kong, she resigned during the time of company takeover and came back to Singapore. She later went on to join our competitors. My company offered her a position (same level as SS) but pay wise, it is less than what she is getting at the competitors.
On cost cutting measures, the operational dept actually incurred more costs than before and no directives were issued to them on this. This has became butt of the joke for our competitiors.
This is not all but the rest are too juicy and confidential to be posted. I really feel sad for my company. They had failed to retain good staff and at the same time, made themselves looked like a fool in the industry. This is the only company i worked whereby the ex staff still borne so much grudges against it.

Punchbag
As my Sis flown back from London last Thursday, i was recounting to her the incident that happened at work recently about some joker who LOVES to vent tantrums on me! Sis' comment: "Jie, you got to stop them from doing this to you. Either at home or at work, you also kena such shit!"
During dinner, I kena one again from my cousin D! Before dinner started, Mum instructed me to foot the bill for dinner. Cousin D made eye contact with me and I can't fathom what it is. Towards the end of dinner, I sneakily went to the cashier & foot the bill.
As i walked back to the table, Cousin D was talking fiercely to me, "I told you not to pay the bill. Come with me to reverse the transaction, I m paying the bill with my Paragon card so that I can redeem my free parking!"
At the counter, Cousin D was getting the cashier to void my credit card payment and used her instead. The cashier was reluctant to do it and this angered Cousin D even further, she lashed out on me again. It was uncalled for and I told her that my Mum instructed me to pay. So she stopped and she told me about how bad the service was etc etc.
Then I went back to the table and HK Aunt was about to lecture me again on footing the bill, I just told her, "Dun get started on it, I had enough from both of you." Afterwards, I told Mum about this. Mum also shook her head and I told Mum that I dun want to be anyone's punchbag.
Conclusion, perhaps i should just distance myself away from Cousin D.

Pineapple Tarts Story
Pineapple tarts, something that became extremely expensive and popular during the Chinese New Year.
Colleague A, sent an email to the rest of my dept to collate $500 (free delivery) worth of orders from this bakery, Le Cafe. Their pineapple tarts are the size of the golf balls and tasted better than Bengawan Solo but their location is a bit out of the way. So, my dept including myself ordered 8 bottles of the pineapple tarts.
A later called us and inform us that we need another extra bottle to hit the $500 target. So, Anna of my dept gallantly offered to take up this 1 bottle. Later on A called to inform us that during the schedule of the bakery, the bakery could only deliver the tarts to us after 4 Feb & before 14 Feb, thus the price of the tarts has increased from $18.80 t0 $19.80. Thus, we need to make the decision whether we still wanna order.
Anna, who "gallantly" took up the extra 1 bottle was lamenting about the $1!!! I was thinking to myself that $1 is nothing but keeping my bloody mouth shut & face expressionless. After much ding ding dong dong, we stuck to our orders.
Then the next day, A checked with us whether anyone of us could write a cheque of $250 to the bakery (50% deposit). Anna heard that and LAMENT BIG TIME about it. I was thinking to myself again, "Din ask u to pay, why you lament for what!"
All along, my gut told me that Anna is a calculative cum temperamental one. Judging from the recent incidents and events, her true colours are slowly coming out and I wonder how long will SS be able to tolerate her behaviour?

Sad....
Mum called n mentioned to me that SB Aunt is hospitalised and her daughter, cousin SH (based in KL) is in SG to accompany her. I asked Mum whether SB Aunt will make it through CNY, Mum told me that the chances are slim.
So I emailed Sis to update her, Sis is coming back next month for CNY celebrations and visit all the relatives in SG, HK & KL. After sending out the email to Sis, Mum called and told me that SB Aunt insisted on being discharged from the hospital. SB Aunt's logic => "At home also pain, at hospital also pain... Might as well save $$ & pain at home."
2 hours after the sent email, Sis called me. She was upset to hear about SB Aunt's updates and intend to push forward her trip back to SG. I supported her decision but told her to check with her superiors first as she just switched firms in London and it might not look good either.
I guess after much discussion with Mum & stuff. She texted me at 9pm to inform me that she will be taking the night flight and will reach SG tomorrow. I immediately, "HAR" when i saw her SMS. Mum chided me for being loud and I told her about Sis' decision, Mum "HAR" even louder.
It was really sad. In these recent years, Aunties who had seen us growing up are diagnosed with cancer and passed away in pain. Now its' SB Aunt, she is such a strong lady. She speaks with gutso and we din expect her to have cancer. She was okie for more than 5 years after her chemotherapy & stuff.
Now within 6 months, the discovery of a lump in her womb. After a scan, it has spread throughout her body. I only wish that the pain she is enduring now will be gone soon.

Sick....
It must either be the weather, lack of rest or both...
The Ang Family is down!
Ms. Piggy is down with running nose & cough. Her nose mucus is super thick & greenish and not to mention the phlegm heard while coughing.... She has not attended childcare for 2 days and I dunno when she can resume school.
PK, kept on hearing him coughing and with a blocked nose. I did not nag him to see a doctor but i did nag him to sleep early. However, i think he might see a doctor eventually. Guess i gotta psycho him to drink more water & sleep early.
Myself, due to lack of sleep & stress.. Been having this horrible migraine on and off, yesterday was the worst and it continued to this morning! Not to mention accompanied by LS... HAiz!!!
Conclusion, the Ang Family must drink more water & sleep early!

The weekend....
On Saturday, the Ang Family went to PK's fren house at Katong. PK's fren - L is someone you wont forget! She towers at 1.83m tall and is full of energy! PK went to fix up her PC while I went there to kpo her place.
Her apartment is a condo (not too new nor too old) and located on the 21st floor. Her place is a whooping 1,700 square feet and she lives alone. The sea view is fanastic!!! She brought me around her place, i tell you her apartment is MOST GIRLS' DREAM! I will use the Heinken ad to describe it! :)
Claire has a ball of time running around in her apartment as L told me that she has not totally moved in as a portion of her stuff is still at her old place. I jokingly told PK that he should work hard and let us move into such apartment. PK's ever ready reply, "Dream on!" Both of us admit that the view is definitely breathtaking!
On Sunday, we went to Mum's place for lunch and stayed there for the whole afternoon! HK Aunt & her son in law, H bought Kendrick to Mum's place around 10am while cousin D went to work. We had fun playing with Kendrick even though Ms Piggy displayed several bouts of jealousy. Ie, if Mum, me or HK Aunt carried Kendrick, she will also want us to carry her! What was the most shocking thing is, she gave Kendrick a sudden smack on his head that scared the wits out of us. So we explained to her why she can't do that, Mum further made use of this chance to "scare" me that I should have a second child sooner coz of the jealousy.
Afterwards, we went to Vivo to have our dinner. HK Aunt & Kendrick went to our place while H & D caught a movie at Vivo. Claire was playing with Kendrick and Kendrick was laughing at Claire's antics of throwing the ball in the air. At our place, Claire did not shown much outburst of jealousy, she was behaving very much like the "Big Sister" that i was telling her to be!
Thus, I must say the Ang Family's weekend was an extremely busy & interesting one!

Property Check...
Five years - the time period that the Ang Family has to occupy our Redhill HDB apartment.
This is the 5th year, ie we can sell off our apartment in 2011 and move to Bedok or anywhere that is nearer to my parents' place.
So i have been checking out this website, www.propertyguru.com.sg and this site is really the best as compared to others property website. The layout are good and the information is extremely updated.
From this website, I realised how hot the HDB Apartments are in my Mum's area and how expensive they can be especially for a 30 years old ++ flat! Some of the prices quoted by the sellers are ridiculous and its no wonder that their apartments have not been sold yet. (They placed the ad for at least 3 months.)
Anyway, I m monitoring the property prices and plans to move might change subjected to alot of other factors... In the mean time, i just keep my fingers crossed that the Ang Family will be able to move to an apartment at a right time and a right price.

Bobbles, bobbles...
Ms. Piggy has been telling me, "Bobbles, bobbles!" on and off during these past few days while getting her to sleep.
"Bobbles, bobbles" refers to bubbles and at home, PK will use this to distract her from crying or getting her to be bathed by him. So I guess Piglet miss this bubbles fun very much!
True enough, it has been a while since PK or I bought her outdoors to play with the bubbles. So i told Ms Claire that I will let her play with the bubbles this Saturday when we re back home. I dunno whether will she remember about this promise when we re back home on Friday night.
One thing for sure is that I will definitely let her play with the bubbles over this coming weekend!
