A test to me!

It s really a test of patience to me!

This morning, Ms Piggy really pushed boundaries to the max. I was in the kitchen preparing food for her lunch and i went out to peek at her.

Her potty was overturned, her urine all over the place and she was playing. Usually, she will inform me when she is done with her small business. I was so angry that I shouted at her for misbehaving. I punished her by making her stand at the corner of the house.

Later on, I explain to her why I punished her and why her behaviour was unacceptable. She refused to look at me or acknowledged me. So I extend her punishment longer, after a while I heard move (from her anklet sound). Apparently, she was tired from the standing, she climbed onto my bed & rest!

Wow, this really riled me up! I told her to come down from my bed and I used the cane on her. This time, she really cried and she cried for me followed by my Mum and Bro (both of them are not at my place). When her crying subsided, I went to talk to her and explain to her. This time, she was willing to acknowledge me and apologise to me.

I could say Claire is real stubborn and really a tough nut to crack. I really must be hard hearted and teach her some lessons if not, she won't learn and might end up being a spoilt brat. Haiz, now my only hope is that PK will cooperate with me on teaching her!

Random

Here are some recent random stuff of happenings....

1. Called Ms. Piggy's childcare centre this morning, received a fair bit of feedback from the principal. Piglet loves to walk up and down the childcare centre, thus the teachers tend to carry her so that she won't disrupt others. Also, she inherited my impatient streak (why can't she inherit PK's patient streak!!!) ... She will have the tendency to snatch things that she wants and when the teachers told her to wait.. She will bang the table to protest...

Guess, I have to further learn how to control my temper and be more patient!! Jiayou jiayou, I can do it!

2. Work, felt extremely relieved when i made the decision. Now, i just do my work and bo chap others. Just kena another flare up from Anna and Anna wanted to flare up at SS when SS is trying to explain stuff to her.

Also, I m surprised at myself too... When Anna flares up at me, I did not feel much anger and i think that Anna's flare up at me is just making herself upset only. Next target, must try to avoid being being the target of flare ups....

3. Sis called this morning and looked for Mum but Mum is not in. Sis told me that she has been having high fever for the whole week and its yoyoing up & down. I told her that its viral fever and suggested she drink salt water and lotsa water... N not to mention to get the "ling yang" from Chinatown to brew. Then her fever will go off... Later on Mum told her the same thing!! I guess she just wants to teh Mum bah.

I think Sis' desire to come back Asia will be stronger. She just mention to me that she might want to re-locate to Hong Kong!

Lose weight~~

I need to lose weight liao!

My clothes are tight and not to mention being mistaken for pregnant so many times!!!

Only problem is i m too lazy to move my ass!!!

Grr, must find a way out of this!!!!

Company Jokes

1. In the ladies
Colleague A was merlioning like crazy. Colleague B saw it and asked, "R u okie?" Colleague A's reply, "What do you think? Isn't being pregnant like that meh?"

Colleague B totally stunned! Well, we find it funny lah but Colleague A also one kind, people shown you concern plus your side is on the plump side... How do we know that you re pregnant?

2. In the fishtank (my dept)
CFO came in with a NTUC plastic bag. I teased him by asking him about morning grocery shopping at NTUC. From the bag, he gave us some chocolates he bought from Hamburg. When he left, colleague C commented, "Scully, he really bought the chocolates from NTUC!" Colleague D said, "It's the thought that counts!"

Me find it funny to see him carrying a NTUC plastic bag lah... but i doubt the chocolates from NTUC coz the flavour as bit too sweet plus weird for my liking... Conclusion, it is definitely from Hamburg!

Contradictions

Dad was out of his last job recently. He was employed in a security firm that outsourced staff to SMRT for those security personnel in the MRT stations.

He lost his job as a passenger (got checked twice by SMRT security personnel) wrote a 3 pages long complaint email to SMRT. The exact story, I m unsure as Dad was just giving me snippets here and there.

Yesterday, at Redhill MRT station, I saw a Security Personnel (older than Dad), a passenger and the SMRT station control staff. The passenger was complaining to the SMRT station control staff and I overhead his statement, "I dun like the attitude of his, talking to me like that.." (pointing to the Security personnel)

From this 2 incidents, I figured that folks like Dad's age should not be hired to do such job as they might be hard of hearing thus, speaking to folks slightly louder that translate to shouting to our ears unless those used to old folks at home.

I find it contradicting whereby the government strongly encourage senior citizens to work and firms are hiring them as they are considered "cheap labour" yet, they can get themselves out of job easily like such instances.

My conclusion, really must save $$ for retirement as noone is willing to hire senior citizens to work. Such is the reality of life.

The Basketball wounds will continue...

PK gave me the shock of my life on Wednesday. Wednesday is his basketball nite, a night of freedom where he can play basketball, have dinner with his basketball kakis and a night of freedom (Ms. Piggy & I usually stay overnight at Mum's place every Wednesday except during my month end closing or any special occassions!)

On Wednesday, I went home with Ms. Piggy as for the past few weeks I had been camping at Bedok during the week days. I called him at 9.30pm to check on his whereabouts while on my way home. He told me that he was on his way home as he "errm" me. My radar was up and my only thought was he must want to continue chit chatting with his friends.

When I reached home and finished showering Ms. Piggy, PK still had not came back. So I called him twice and twice, he cut my line off! I was furious! While making milk for Ms. Piggy, he called home and I asked him where exactly he is.... He told me that he is at the A&E in Mt. Elizabeth hospital! This totally threw me off and I "scolded" him for not telling me the truth!

Apparently, he was hurt during the basketball game and the wound (near to his left eyebrow) required stitches that the GP was unable to do it for him. Thus he was referred to A&E in Mt. Elizabeth hospital. This is not the first time he got hurt during his basketball games!

And he still has the cheek to tell me that since he is an old bird at getting hurt. Ice is always the best to stop bleeding and bruises!!! The moment he made this statement, I warned him that NO BASKETBALL GAMES till his stitches are removed and the wound completely recovered. He protested by whining.... but the wife wins for the time being!

Anyway, I think if PK is uncautious, he will continue to get hurt during his basketball nights. I really dunno what to say..... :(
