Chinese New Year 2010~

This one is a really fun one! Fat Bond & Sis are back in SG and finally the family is reunited as one (not really, given with the current Parents' saga going on but better than nothing!)

Chinese New Year Eve - 13th February 2010
The Ang Family was supposed to go Bedok for lunch but we went to IKEA for lunch and got last minute food shopping at Anchorpoint. After we were done with lunch, we went to Bedok so that PK could collect his TM Lewin shirts while Sis played with Ms. Piggy. As dinner was at Bt Panjang, PK called the in laws and asked whether they could pick us up at Bedok to Bt Panjang for dinner.

Thank god, the in laws agreed and the in laws first went to their coffeeshop to settle some stuff. Guess what, one of my in laws' staff forgotten to lock one of the coffeeshop doors! Both of them were commenting that it was a fortunate thing that PK asked to pick us up at Bedok before going for the dinner.

During our dinner at Bt Panjang, PK went to get some stuff from the kitchen and one of his pockets got ripped off from his bermudas and it was a funny sight! He used scotch tape to tape up the hole!! :P

After dinner, we went home. PK & I were so tired but Ms. Piggy is extremely active. It took several "threats" before she is willing to sleep!

1st day of Chinese New Year - 14th February 2010
I went to the Guanyin temple alone leaving PK & Piglet at home before meeting them later to my in laws place. Then Mum called and I changed my plan of going to Bt Panjang after my praying at the temple. I went to Bedok for lunch after praying at the temple and was "shocked" to be informed by PK that Claire woke up at 11am!

Due to some timing issues & stuff, PK went to Bedok to pick me up to Bt Panjang! We went to PK's 3rd & 4th Uncle's place before going to SK's Auntie house and Ah Sou's place at Old Airport Road. Then Sis & Bro bought Claire's to Sis' friend hous for visiting from Old Airport Road. By the time we went home, it was close to 11.30pm!

2nd day of Chinese New Year - 15th February 2010
Mum & I arranged to meet at the Cheng Wang temple to pray. Mum was late and I helped her pray on behalf. We finished our praying around 11am and went to my place. PK was giving Claire a bath when we reached home. I cooked porridge and had our lunch before we went out to meet my siblings at Toa Payoh. My siblings are bringing Ms Piggy to Sis' friend place in Toa Payoh.

Mr. Smartie Pants PK relied heavily on the GPS of my iphone to get to Sis' friend place in Toa Payoh and almost got us into a car accident. Thank god that Mum was alert to inform the taxi driver and we managed to escape it unscathed... If not, i think we will be in hospital liao!

So, Mum, PK & I went to AMK Uncle's place after passing Claire to my siblings. It was fun to chat with my cousins and see that my Auntie is doing well after her chemo (she was diagnosed with cervix cancer). Afterwards, PK & Mum met up with my siblings to go Bedok as Mum is cooking dinner for us before we took our night flight to KL (Mum, my siblings & me only) while PK will bring Ms Piggy to his cousin's place after the meal at Mum's place.

I went home to pack my lugguage. On my way home, PK called to inform me to bring my orange suitcase coz Mum wanted an extra lugguage at the last minute. So, i meet the rest of them at Mum's place and we have a happy meal & time. PK & Claire left first to go to his cousin's place while we stayed a while to do our final packing before leaving for the airport.

That's my Chinese New Year for 2010!

Trying to be funny again!

As mentioned in my earlier post, I had resigned and serving my notice period now. (Another 33 working days excluding leave to go)

Due to some emergency, I had to take 1/2 day childcare leave 2 weeks ago and SS hesitated to approve my childcare leave as our dear HR needs to seek advice on the claims of the childcare leave & stuff.

I was definitely pissed off with the HR (not showing the buey song on my face), I told SS matter of fact that if i chose to be a SAHM, then I will be taken advantage by the company if they forgo my childcare leave. Upon hearing that, SS immediately approved my childcare leave!

Frankly speaking, i was thinking to myself if this co can spend on unneccessary stuff during this period of implementation of cost cutting, what is the childcare leave to them? Really no comments and even small stuff like this, they also want to take advantage of me!

Another conversation

My ex colleague texted me n asked about what's SS reaction when i presented her with the love letter.

I told him about it and his response:

Me: She asked me got job or not? I said no lah, then she asked me whether coz of the incident yesterday? If give letter coz of it, I immature lah

Him: Warrao, u should tell her that u dun like her face & that if there are too many incidents liao and it will take at least half a day to talk about it!

Me: Then i do the recommendation of Siao Onz to take over my major project lah. But she attempted to stop me by saying its her call. So, I told her yes its your call but i reasoned with her n said, U wanna train Siao onz to be your right hand person mah.. Very good exposure for siao onz, since Siao Onz got experience, familiarity & maturity to take on this project! Wow, the expression on her face is priceless!

Him: Mdme Wong u good leh!!

Me: No lah, i got ask my fren for advice on how to recommend Siao Onz mah....

Him: Feeling good & relief rite.. (Laughing all the way)

Me: Definitely lah!

D-day!

Today is D-day!

A sense of relief when i gave the letter to SS. SS was funny, the first question to me, "U found a job?" I replied her no and then she asked me whether its due to the incident that happened yesterday.

I told her no and that I had made this decision long ago coz of personal reasons. She was totally stunned. Anyway, even if i resigned due to yesterday's incident... I also wont admit lor! Anyway, I told her that i need to settle my personal problem and i might go to London!! Hahahah!!

Anyway, time to move on and find another place nicer place... cant wait to detox!

Evil Plot!

I m devising an evil plot for work issues...

And i m really to rehearse on how to put it across to SS so that it sounds Professional and convincing enough....

Now to mention checking with my strategist in the land of Aloha on the appropriateness of this evil plot. HEhe, looking forward to D-day!

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.
