Apr 28 - Worried for Nothing

Since tonight got dinner, I wore my heels. Luckily my back is ok liao. Can jump or run, but better not ler. I wore pink top…come to think of it, I've been wearing either pink or black this week.

Meow's dad hospitalized, I couldn't go, had to work and later had to attend the dinner invited by Sales Director…kena 'give face'. Told Meow I will call him after the seafood dinner.

Dinner was ok, sat with the director. We had lobster with cheese stuffing, dry chili crab, assam ko prawns, steamed fish, etc. The shark fin soup was the best. Gavin and I were late as we had to settle some issues before going to Oriental Seafood at Gurney…this restaurant kena ‘tsunami’ last December. Before dinner ends, I excused myself to the ladies, made a phone call to Meow. He said he was driving, so I told him I would call back later.

Back home, 10.30pm liao…we didn't join them for karaoke after that. (Heard that they sang till 3am). I tried calling Meow twice, no answer. Sent him sms asking him how was everything and his dad. He replied that he would call me back later without giving a hint on his dad's condition.

Well, I went to shower with many things in mind…mostly worried about his dad...I mean like why he cannoy answer my call...something serious ? He never delay calling me for too long...this is the first time. I got more and more worried.

Later I joined my dad downstairs watching A. Idol's result. Constantine's out and Paula Abdul shed tears for his lost. Hmm…I dunno, I prefer Bo. I have a feeling Carrie might be the winner, she never got the bottom three so far :)

I gave some green pear to Yoda and Sky Walker, they were so happy, juicy and sweet…yum yum…of coz, I finished the rest.

After the programme, I was tired, went upstairs and ready to sleep. Meow finally called. I asked what happened; I mean what took him so long to return my call. He said he was on the phone with his bro (in KL) and later went to play badminton. What??!! I got so mad…I was worried like hell…and there…he was too busy to return my call b’coz he had to see his captain and play badminton. Damn upset. We weren’t really talking on the phone…both angry. Later, sent him SMS to ask for his dad’s name…wanna say prayers. After prayers, I dozed off…too tired liao. Had to prepare for next day, most hectic as I foreseen lotsa issues due to last minute download of orders by Sales. No energy to argue…dunno la, lately we were like almost arguing…but did not really. Kiss and make up…fight liao…upset nya…what for.

Apr 27 - Love less liao is it?

** Oh dear, I cannot remember what I did on Wednesday, have to crack head liao...sigh ~! **

Today better liao, can stand straight, but still...have to walk slowly and just to be safe, no heels.
I remembered going back early after work. I needed to rest. Had quite a hectic day at work. Counting down to Friday, last day of Qtr end.

After dinner, Meow went out to have a drink with an old pal. Great, I got to blog. Have to la, otherwise if I leave it for too many days, I cannot update my 'online diary' ma...what to do, poor memory...or in a nicer way, I've got selective memory :P

Meow came back and my sensitive nose detected cigarette smell ! Grrr, break promise again and again !! I was very sad and disappointed. :[

Last time he said he will quit because he loves me...does it mean now he loves me less ?

Apr 26 - Blogging's a Must

Waking up from the bed was tough, not to mention going to bathroom and walking...every single step/move hurt ler. I had to walk very slowly and hunching. My god-bro saw me and teased that only thing missing was a walking stick. Celaka !

I wanted to take MC but cannot ler, just joined back, some more Quarter end...lotsa things to follow-up closely.
Pretty hectic day for me. I tried minimise cat-walking walking around. Can u imagine...I only had a cup of coffee instead of my standard 3 cups per day ?

I called the company nurse to check for panel clinics...

Nurse : Yes Joez ? ** sounds like very bz **
Me : Hi Ju...er...actually I sprained my....
Nurse : Nope, doctor's not in today!
Me : ...back. I am not looking for doc, just wanna check which clinic I can go...
Nurse : bla bla bla....** sounds like TYM (having period) **
Me : Ok, thanks.
Nurse : ** CLICK **

Didn't know this aunty still having TYM...she might already have few grandchildren.

Lunch time, Gavin wanted to bring me to Klinik Malaysia at Kg. Jawa, but heck, no place to park...so we went to BJ...where the famous Pan Mee stall is. I told him not to worry, will go after work. I met S.Imm my classmate. She still looks the same...I mean still young. Not sure if she's married yet, didn't ask.

It was really a torture sitting in the office for hours...and I can't walk much, sigh ~! Jason offered to carry me to the ladies...siao ~!

After dinner, went to Klinik Public in Sg. Ara...so many ppl...my number was 17 and it was only patient number 10 then. I asked Meow to go back first and come back later. I saw his grandma few minutes later. Chatted with her, she was there to have her blood pressure checked and get her medication which she stopped some time coz she lazy to wait. I told her cannot stop. I exchanged number with her, hers was 22. Half hour later, reception called for Num 17. I followed her in...just to hear what doc has to say...and best was I dun have to wait till 22. Doc said for a young lady like me...it's serious to have injured my back by cutting mango. Eh...I was smiling inside la...he said 'young lady' wor. And he's not that old too...mid 30's I guess. Told him abt the pain on my right wrist which I've suffered for 2 years liao. He wrote a letter for me to go check-up with specialist. If serious, might have to do physiotherapy or worse...operation !

Later Meow came, told him to keep track on his grandma's pills...he set a reminder on when her medication needs to 'top-up' again.
Meow sent me home coz he had badminton. Told dad abt my back, he said will massage for me later...FYI, my dad used to massage for ppl...he knows quite a lot abt reflexology. Too bad, he got company...a couple...the guy seeked my dad's help to fill in Income Tax's form. I couldn't wait...I went to bed around 12.30am after typing my blog. It was quite tiring and painful sitting upright but I dun wanna postpone too long...as u know, I have poor memory. : p
Blogging has become a part in my life now...can't live without it...teng ~!

Brochure in Toilet

I wanted to blog about this for some time but kept forgetting every time I went back to my cube.
U see...whenever I need to answer Nature's call...I usually go to the new toilet. When u pee...u dun exactly look into the bowl all the time right ? So, I was looking at the door and there's this brochure on the latest model or promotion (supposingly)...right in the middle at eye level.

I dun understand what those marketing ppl had in mind...come on, u dun expect us to read thru the brochure ma? Some more the font size 10 nya...as if we give a shit to the new promo bundles. Curious, I looked at the date...apala...promo ended last month. Hmm...only possible reason I could think of was...the brochure might serve as other purpose after all. Perhaps it's for us to wrap our 'yee ma kan' (sanitary pad) or maybe for emergency use...esp. when the cleaner's too busy to put in new toilet roll...so, use it to wipe ass ah ? Maybe lo...

But today...I noticed, the brochure's gone...perhaps someone ran into that sort of emergency, hehehe.

Apr 25 – Mangoes the Cause?

Jeans and flat shoes, no heels as feet too painful, had been walking too much with heels, esp. when I went shopping on Sat. Hurt every step I took…this is ‘Oi Leng Em Oi Meng’ (want to look nice, dun want life – direct translate). I was almost limping liao.

I had on a pink top with maroon cardigan over it. Jimmy said I look ‘bright’ today while my god bro said, good choice of colours. He would mess my hair every time he passes by my cube. So, I know, he likes to see women in colourful or bright colours clothes. No wonder he called me ‘Aunty’ when I wore dark colours.

Gavin joined Sales for lunch, Chris also got date, so I got to join Meow for lunch…with his 2 female colleagues at BJ’s coffee shop. Try to guess what he had for lunch? Yeahh…Laksa again. Soup pun habis (finish).

After work, I quickly settle my Income Tax, photocopied forms, statements and receipts. Asked Gavin, P.Ling and ex, just to be sure I filled in correctly. Luckily got E-Kalkulator, so easier for me. Haha, I dun have to pay, in fact Govt should pay me back.

I couldn’t leave when Meow called. So, he went for his badminton while I continued working till 8pm. Just minutes before I shut down my laptop, the Sales’ Country Manager came over to say hi and told us about more deals coming in. Gavin helped me to check with Materials before leaving, He dropped me home, on the way back, his hp rang non-stop, work-related…soon…it would be mine ringing…meanwhile, let me enjoy some peace first.

Had shower and swallowed 2 packs of Nasi Lemak bought from Bakery before left office. My dinner cost – RM 2 only.

Earlier, when washing clothes, I felt my muscles on my right shoulder tore…dunno la, but very painful ler.

I called Meow asking him to come over after his game. He had to sign the last page of his Income Tax form. I was cutting ‘Sor Nya Chu’ when he reached. Halfway cutting, I felt terrible pain on my back, must be the spinal cord…I couldn’t stand straight. Had to walk like old lady, hunching all the way. Pain was almost unbearable. I thought would feel better if I lie down…if I could move my body right, probably will be ok after a ‘krackkk’ but no wor…cannot ler. I had to shoo Meow home early coz I cannot wait to lie down on the bed.

Believe it or not, I was on bed by 11.30pm. Managed to clean my son’s home before I lie flat on my bed…every move is like a torture. Could almost feel my tears.

Half asleep, waited for Meow to call, but I couldn’t wait by 12.15am, I called to wish him goodnite before I board the ‘train’ to Dreamland. But journey postponed for an hour as Sis called to chat. It was nice to talk to her again. She couldn’t do anything as Ryan didn’t wanna sleep. ‘Talked’ to Ryan, could hear him ‘baby-talked’ back. Sis said maybe will come back end of the year…can’t wait for then. Miss her !!

Apr 24 – Marriage Registration

Crazy or what, we went back to same place for lunch. Meow ordered same thing, while I settled for Curry Mee wit extra chilli…the whole bowl looks so red…damn ‘kick’. The coffee shop’s always packed, we had to share tables.

After that, ‘tah pao’ Muar Chee and sweet corn, leong fan and buah ciku. We reached Che Hoon Khor Moral UpliftingSociety early, so we picnicked in the car for half hour before going in for Shereen’s marriage registration. Supposed to start at 4.30pm but we had to wait for other couples before Shereen and Timmy’s turn. Shereen looked pretty with her simple make-up and gown. After tying the knot and ‘forced’ to made some donations, it was photo session. Ended at around 5.30pm. Gigi gave us some ‘Sor nya choo’ (mangoes)…Meow damn happy…not me coz I dun take sour fruits.

Back to his place to rest before we had dinner at Relau. Then, as usual, he was busy with his PDA while me on my blog. Dunno why time passes so fast on a Sunday…it was time to go home. I had lotsa things to take, including my two sons. Sad to let Meow leave, I hug till ‘kao pun’ (enough) before bid him goodnite.

P/S : Wow, short post eh ? This is what happens when I dun blog for few days.

Apr 23 – No worries, just shop and eat!

Feel nice to wake up late and not having to worry about work. I wished I could sleep longer but had to go take my transcript at Informatics.

Meow was supposed to have his picture taken for bagde but he said not on the way wor. I was happy to eat my favourite ‘Tor Phui Mee’ or ‘Tai Lok Min’ (Fatty Noodle) at Genting. Shared Laksa with Meow while he enjoyed the yummy Char Koay Teow. Seems like everything tastes good there. We packed back 7 boxes of ‘Tau Hua’ (soya bean curd).

Proceeded to Info for my transcript…damn, the counter guy asked me to fill up some stupid forms for survey and keeping my information (potential master courses). I told that guy I dun wanna fill in coz I graduated and dun intend to further waste money study in Informatics. Lousy and poor management, I’ve even written to USQ to complain, but no action taken. They are only concern about $, dun give a damn to any important matters/date pertaining to our courses, assignments or notes. FYI, I never had any class, yet I paid the same amount. Reason given was not sufficient student to open a class.

Anyway, back to the form thingy, the guy at the counter said it’s his duty to ensure the forms are filled and kesian, he looked like he might get scolding if I dun fill ‘em up. Ok, so I wasted some 10 mins filling….more like scribbling….there’s a part where the question went like this :

Would you recommend your friends to study in Informatics?
As u can guess, I choose ‘No’.

Another part was asking for any Comments.
I wrote “ Very Disappointed with Informatics’.

There…done…smiling…I handed to him and ciao ~! That was my last time in Informatics which had to do with my course. Adios ~!!
On the way out, Melissa introduced her bf to me, not sure if he’s the new guy or her ex which she said probably back together. Anyway, I had to excuse myself as Meow was waiting for quite a while liao.

Next, to Prangin Mall…yeahhhh….shopping time. Poor Meow, had to follow me into almost every shoes and clothes outlets. I didn’t buy any clothes but got myself two pairs of heels…one for dancing, another pair (3.5 inches) for my long slacks. I asked Meow to wait for me at Starbucks when I bought the last pair. It’s hard for me to get shoes, size 8 not that many left. I envy those ladies with small feet, they can just try on any shoe on display while I had to think and confirm about the pattern before asking the salesperson if they have my size....80% of the time, none ~!

We lepak at the sofa till 6pm before we left for….ROJAK at Esplanade ~! Yeahh….it’s food and shopping day ;)
The stall just opened for business at 6.30pm. One medium plate of mixed Rojak (u can find Rojak’s picture at 5xMom’s Penang faces blog) – RM 5 and ordered one separate plate just Bali Pineapple and ‘Sengkuang’. Yummy ~! This time we got to sit nearest to sea…few ppl fishing down there.

On the way back, dropped by my place to pass a box of ‘Tau Hua’ for dad and took my kids over to Meow’s place. I cleaned their cage and later had headache figuring how to fill up stupid Income tax forms. Meow was busy transferring video to my notebook before burning into CD.

Late dinner at outside’s coffee shop. Meow had Tom Yam…eee…sour stuff again, dunno why he likes sour food. I opted for Fish Maryland,,,ooops, fattening food again !

Sorry No Posts

I wanted to update last nite but I sprained my back, so will be MIA for few days.
If u see a not so old lady walking like 'Ah Po', that might be me ler.

Apr 22 – Quit smoking for me

Am trying to get use to my new cube. Lotsa ppl would pass by to get water, there’s a water cooler just about 4 metres from where I sat. I tried not to be so kepo to look up whenever some pass by. I got few greetings when some who know me, stopped to say hi or chat. My god-bro would shake my head every time he passes by. Teng !

I talked for a while with my new neighbour….damn, forgot his name. I have difficulty remembering Chinese names. Anyway, got to know he is on job training, still waiting to complete his degree course. So, I guess I will have a new neighbour in another 2 months’ time when he’s done with his training.

It’s Friday and usually it’s pretty hectic for Sales, and if Sales is busy, I will be too. More MWD cases to follow up and a few mails on expediting shipments. Can’t ask Gavin much now coz sitting in different row…our backs are facing diagonally. Will have to shout a bit if I am lazy to walk over to his place.

As I mentioned in my previous posting, I met Mr Fragrance in the morning but he acted as if he doesn’t know me when I greeted him. Saw him again during lunch at Batu Maung. But I wasn’t sure if he saw me, coz I only saw his back when I was about to finish my economy rice.

Came back from lunch, Jess bought me a cup of Nescafe from old pantry’s coffee machine. Machine ‘khi siao’, RM 0.10 per cup…and guess what ? There was long queue buying Nescafe/Milo. One guy very can…used the microwave’s plate as tray, salute ~ !!
Gigi perli me, she said the machine could sense me coming back.

Last time, I was working OT at night, I went to buy coffee with my RM 1 coin. I was really thirsty for Nescafe…slotted my coin but it went right out into the change box…tried another 2 times, same thing happened. Damn…I was disappointed and a little ‘boh kam muan’, so I pressed the Nescafe button hoping for magic…mind u…there was MAGIC afterall ! Out came a cup and hot water plus nescafe mix started filling in….voila…there, my nice aromatic Nescafe ~! Cool. Then I looked at the amount display – RM 0.13 ?! Weird…puzzled…I hit the button again without inserting any coin…and out came another cup…cool eh ! I started feeling excited, placed the 2 cups on a nearby table and ran to Azian’s place, asking her to follow me. She had no idea what I was up to. Like a small kid and feeling proud, I showed her the ‘Magic’. Wow, that night, I had free coffee…two cups only. Siao meh, even though free…cannot drink so much ler.
Next morning, on the way to my cube, I saw long queue at the machine, and some with file’s tray (u know those tray where u labeled ‘IN’, ‘OUT’ or ‘KIV’) and some with frees be (used as tray). What a whole lot of kiasu and al cheapo…haha, Malaysians….anything free…u will see us. Celaka, I got teased by my colleagues, they asked me to go do something with the ATM machines in the cafeteria, so that got cash coming out without ATM card…ya, like I very the can !!

3pm, I was supposed to have a short meeting with the CA gal but she was too busy. She promised to take a look on the soft copy summary I sent her and will get back to me on Monday. Since no meeting, I went to Alvin’s place to lepak for a while. When I went back, Jason MSNed me, asked why I went toilet so long….haahaa…what la…passed by pantry, then used another path to go back my place…he thot I went to ‘pang sai’ in the toilet kut. Cehh ~!

I still cannot get use to the table’s / chair’s height. Maybe later will bring a cushion to place on my butt. Now my table still clean and not much décor stuff. Hopefull can maintain la…I always kena perli having most things on my desk compared to my few close colleagues. Well, I feel more ‘at home’ if I have lotsa things…dun u think so?

After dinner, Meow wanted to play badminton, so I had some time to wash my clothes, pack my stuff, sorted my Income Tax’s documents (yep, I know, dateline is 30th Apr). Then I wash hamsters’ cage before I caught a few winks till Meow called me. Supper, joined his badminton friends. I wasn’t really enjoying my Char Koay Teow…luckily Meow understood, we left as soon as I finished. I knew Meow smoked again…every time he goes badminton, he smoked. It’s sad that he breaks promise again. If he goes badminton 5 times a week, then it’ll be 5 cigarettes at least ! I told him how disappointed I was, and he kesi-kesi tried to avoid eyes contact with me. Hiyo…how ah ? How to make him quit…last time he said he quit for me…I was so ‘kam thong’….but what about now ? Sad la.

Bumped into Mr Fragrance

I am too lazy to update my blog, been reading some blogs..giving priority to those in my Nescafe Blogs ;)
Anyway, just wanna update on Mr Fragrance. Actually I bumped into him on the way to bakery in the morning. Our eyes met for 2 seconds, I greeted him "Hey"...guess what was his response ?

Well...nothing...he continued to walk into the Employee Entrance and pretended he never saw me or never knew me.

That bad huh...well...I dunno la, I will still say hi to him if I ever bumped into him again. To acknowledge me or not, up to him la. At least I've done my part in letting him know that I am still his friend, as I've promised him before.

Apr 21 – Friend or not?

Got to sleep an extra hour today, Public Holiday ma, so can go in a bit late…I was in office around 9.15am. Still…I felt sleepy…even Jimmy could see, he said my eyes looks swollen…damn!

Before lunch, I got a case from Sales, shipment not arranged with forwarder due to Invoice not ready. Logistics claimed that Finance did not provide invoice while Finance denied and insisted that the former did not check or highlight to her. Sales was mad and demanded for apology to customer…and me ? I was like referee…trying to make peace and reminded them we are to resolve the issue and to come up with preventive measure. Each of them at fault. Finance for being rude and not cooperative and not to mention, almost screaming, Logistics for not reverting sooner or cross check with Finance; and Sales for not calling them (hey, it’s common sense ma, if emails no response, just pick up the phone la).

Ever since the first day in this role, I began to see that ‘Tai Chi’ skill is indeed practiced widely. The hours passed by with more shits thrown at me.

11.30am, tired with so much shits, I called Meow to wake him up. He picked me up an hour later. No parking space around BB…probably ppl out to SSQ for shopping ler. Went to food court next to market. I bought 10 packets of different fruits for Gavin’s old team…guava, pineapple, papaya, honey dew, jackfruit…little tomatoes for myself. Was back in office by 1.20pm.

Since there were quite a number of ppl waiting for lift, I walked the stairs…which then I had to pass by my ex’s cube. Chee Ming’s sis saw me and asked which dept I am attached to…I saw my ex from the corner of my eye since I was facing her, I could see him. Just 5 – 6 steps away from his place, I heard my ex called out to me, I turned around and saw him waving, signaling for me to walk back to his place.

He asked what was it I asked him yesterday which he didn’t respond…he was away. I told him nothing important ler…just sought for his opinion whether what I wore made me look like ‘Aunty’ boh. Waa…he seemed like so sincere…giving away his opinions, advice some more…and as expected, said I should ‘kiam phui’ (Slim down). If he wanna sponsor, I dun mind la. We chatted for about 10 mins…also told him about Mr Fragrance. He said I should go say hi to him personally instead of sending mail. Yesterday, I sent a mail to Mr Fragrance
(nope, it’s not about his odor, but his name rhymes like fragrance).


I have this habit that I cannot accept anyone hating me or angry at me. I saw Mr Fragrance almost everyday, but each time he saw me, he would glance away and pretended not to see me, even when I was just directly in front of him. I wasn’t sure if he will be all right if I go say hi to him, hence I decided to send an email :

Hey,

How are u ? just wanna say hi…I am not sure if u are comfortable talking to me…but I still think I should say hi.
If u dun feel comfortable, it’s ok, just ignore my mail.

Cheers.

An hour later, he replied me :

I’m ok, thanks.

I wanted to reply back…but I wasn’t sure if he was really ok since he only replied with 3 words. Seemed like not ok at all….what do u think ? If yes, what should I say ? Or maybe like my ex suggested, say hi to him in person?

I moved to my new cube, facing South, good for my health, but not satisfied, I shifted my drawers to another end so as I can sit facing South East (best direction for personal development). I can switch between these 2 positions anytime I like…oh, these positions only apply for me or female dragons. Satisfied, I continued my work and managed to write out summary of an escalations for my meeting next Tues. I was busy concentrating, I barely paid attention to the power cut off at around 6pm. Half hour later, I was done and happy…ooops, I forgot Meow was waiting for my call~!

Left office 7pm+, had yummy ‘Mee Udang’ (Prawn Noodle) at Teluk Bayan. Normally I won’t eat there coz my clothes and hair would smell….but since I would be heading straight home, I had to give in la…Meow insisted to eat there…ok la, once a awhile…as long as I can go straight to shower after that.

Dad was away at church, so I had the whole house to myself after Meow left for badminton. After ‘kao tim’ my kids, I made a nice cup to tea and read the newspapers, then I ‘makan lagi’ (eat again), bought some kuihs earlier,..cham liao…how to ‘kiam phui’ eh? But my food digested ma…wash this and that…’penat’ (tired) wan ler…

I was disappointed that Anwar Robinson was voted out from American Idol…sigh! After the programme ended, I cannot stand the heat, it was so hot…I continue typing my blog back in my room.
Dad’s gf called to chat for a while…told her I still have yet to receive the parcel from her. Meow still not back home…I shall wait for his call while I try to post this.

Finally, I finished my blog updates after more than 1.5 hours. Phew ~!

Oh…btw, Bitch Ms Brainless called Meow thrice today. During lunch, I had this instinct that she would call Meow, she always call him on a Public Holiday. Meow admitted she did. I asked Meow during dinner…what she wanted. He said first time…informed her TmNet ok liao, 2nd time, asked abt connection thing (I guess) and 3rd time asked about MSN setting. Sigh…’memang kek khi’…I told Meow, if she calls again, I am gonna ‘chien’ (fry) her !

Mr Fragrance

Mr Fragrance (nope, it’s not about his odor, but his name rhymes like fragrance) from same company but different department. Let me rewind back to 4 years ago…before I got together with my ex. Mr Fragrance is a very quiet, low self esteem guy. Me, being ‘kay poh’ (busybody) and ‘ho sim’ (kind hearted), kept encouraging and saying good stuff to him. Since he didn’t have much friends in Penang (he’s from other state), he took my concern for him by mistake. He expressed to me…but I rejected him politely, telling him we could still be friends. He would come by my cube when I worked till late, sat next to me, staring away…I had hard time pushing him away coz I dun wanna hurt him by being too harsh. He called me often to chat and usually, he was quiet and told me to talk coz he just wanna listen to my voice. He kept asking me to promise that I would always be his friend…I got so frustrated…I told him, once a friend, always a friend…unless someone treated me real bad. I got scared when he started crying and begging me not to ignore him. I felt bad, guilty and hopeless…I didn’t know how to help him.

Once, on my b’day, he sent me flowers to the office but I was on leave. He knew…hence he asked my colleague, Ning…to help receive the flowers on my behalf. Ning said memang pai seh…flowers not for her, some more had to go take…in the end, she asked Allan to take, hehehe. I was quite surprised when I saw the flowers and kena perli (teased) for almost a year leh. I didn’t dare to bring home or throw the flowers away (after dried up), until few months later, when I was pretty sure he was back in hometown, I finally got rid of the flowers. Sorry la…I just dun wanna be reminded, some more that time already with my ex liao. The reason I had to wait for him to be away was because I wasn’t sure if he would see the flowers in big rubbish bag carried by cleaner…cleaner usually picked up rubbish from my area and moved towards his place…so I dare not take the risk.

After seeing me with my ex, he shunned away from me, acting like we were strangers. I think he must’ve hurt badly. He did email me once to apologise when he did not respond to my ‘hi’. He explained he didn’t know how to react when he saw me. Later, I got to know he was interested in Ning….and Ning feared him even more, due to his aggressiveness.

Apr 20 – Miss me…miss him

Too lazy to think of what to wear, so I slipped into a pair of jeans and blouse. Met Kevin and he called me ‘Aunty’ again, this time I called him Uncle back :P

Yesterday’s MWD case which was brought to GM’s attention, still cannot end. Big shot from Sales not happy, wanna do ‘post mortem’ on the case, so I had to initiate a meeting for ‘war’ among involved parties. Next Tues…die ler…all VIPs…got show to watch liao.

I didn’t join my lunch mates today coz Meow SMSed me just before I left for office to date me. It was so sweet…he typed :

Dear, later I wanna have lunch with u…
Can or not? b’coz….
b’coz… I miss you!!!

And this is not because he has read about my previous post on “Too Much Love?” coz last nite when I asked him; he said he didn’t read my blog yet. Only at lunch time he asked me something from my blog.

I was melting liao…I replied to him while on the way to office. He replied me thru email not long after I sat down. Met Chris on the way to my cube, told him I won’t be joining them for lunch. Later, he MSNed Gavin said he too busy to go out, asked to ‘tah pao’ lunch…said anything is fine…but then, make sure no cholesterol wor…waaa, siao meh…I told Gavin, buy him a bottle of mineral water can liao. :P

Meow came slightly after 12, could sense he misses me…maybe because won’t be seeing each other until tomorrow liao. Lunch at new Tasty Corner, had XO noodle…quite nice but oily also…never mind, medical report not in hand yet…still can dump in non-healthy stuff.

Back from lunch, Gavin helped me to take my medical report…surprisingly, my blood cell and level ok…although I always feel dizzy…maybe now better liao. Turned out that Gavin need to pay attention to his red blood cell. Mine…as expected, insufficient calcium and water. Cholesterol level, healthy wor. But I suffer from Rheumatoid Factor…something to do with my joints…I guess the RSI on my wrist quite bad. I need to go check up on this.

Called Y.Nee to date her for dinner. She seems better, able to talk more although most of her SMS replies were short, really short, like one word. I hope she ‘heals’ soon. Dinner at the food court near my house. Initially we suggested ‘Good Friend’ seafood, but dunno how Chris perceived as ‘Old friend’…he thought meet at old friends’ place. Worst was both Gavin and I waited and tried to reach him, but he left earlier…teng! I think Y.Nee slimmed down a bit, esp. her face la. She was quiet most of the time, felt awkward coz we were always yakking non-stop. I wish I can help her…but she needs to help herself first. Will pray for her…special request from God…I pray for everyone in this world…but sometimes need to mention names la…if special case wan…just to be sure ma.

9pm, home…catch up with 3 days’ news on The Star. Too lazy to change the tissues for my kids, anyway, look like still clean to me. Gave them some papaya and then mini corns…aiks…mini corns didn’t eat wor, but very clever, know how to carry and place onto the bowl (for food).

I sent Meow SMS, told him to call me when he comes back from Taiping later, no matter how late. Dunno la…I cannot sleep with peace until I know he is back home, safe and sound. He called me a quarter to 12…said having dinner and will start journey back to Penang right after that. I miss him…didn’t get to hug him for 2 days liao. Dun care, tomorrow must hug ‘kao kao’ (enough).

Apr 19 – Lok Lok again

Pretty busy day for me at work. Big ‘hoo haa’ pertaining to MWD case, had to chase and coordinate here and there. Again, involved Ms KYM…I guess I have to start smiling (fakingly) at her more often although I dislike her. She must hate me…but can’t blame me…her agent not doing the job fast and efficient enough wor.

MSNed my ex that I had the CD and map for him. He came over to take it before lunch. He returned the CD around tea time, so fast wor. Passed to me at the new pantry area. We chatted for around 10 mins before I excused myself. I had a funny feeling, felt like we were both very careful with our words. Maybe because it’s in the company.

Celaka, my god brother called me ‘Aunty’. Hmm…is it my hair…or my clothes? But I thought the grey sweater looks nice wor.

After work, joined Meow and his colleagues to Pulau Tikus for Lok Lok. Dunno why everytime I wear thick clothing, they wanted to go for Lok Lok eh…so as u can guess, I was damn hot and started sweating a little when we were almost done eating…luckily I don’t sweat easily. Bought APOM (thin pancakes) for dad.

We did not head home right after dinner, instead…we ‘lepak’ at new Segafredo opposite SS. Five of us (including Roger, YT and Bruce) enjoying the nice environment upstairs. Got 2 cute waiters, even the waitress looks pretty.

P.Lin called just as I laid my butt on the chair, so I walked away to chat with her…when I turned back, aiya…Meow turned on my laptop…they were busy searching for information on Taiping’s Night Safari…planning to go next day as they dun have to work on Thurs (Prophet Muhammad’s birthday). Then, YT was busy with Meow’s PDA…and then Bruce on his hp, we looked like a bunch of ‘show-offs’….’itulah’…. always condemn ppl…now ‘sendiri pun sama’ (I am no different). Oopps! Actually I felt a bit pai seh…luckily not many ppl around.

Noticed ladies who patronised the place wear sexy and fitting clothes, regardless thin, slim or fat. Meow ‘curi’ snapped a lady’s butt crack (borrow term from Mike)…uueeekkk !! Not nice but I guess no pimples la. Too bad my hp not back yet, else can snap the handsome hunks.

Was dead tired when I got home, 11.30pm, still had to wash my clothes and take care of my babies…goodness, they eat a lot and shit a lot too. No matter how nice I laid the tissues for them, they will tear the tissues and sleep underneath the pile of papers, eat there and shit there too.
Fed them some papayas…they love it.

I didn’t turn on my pc, very good girl, went to bed by 1.30am. Oh, forgot to mention that C.Hong SMSed me from Sydney. He wished me Belated b’day and asked how me and my ex doing wor…sigh…I told him broke off liao, he told me not to worry, company got lotsa guys…haha. If I am single also I won’t put much hope, there are so many other girls…some more young and pretty. Actually C.Hong is a nice guy, we had dinner few times when he sent me home…but he never did approach me directly. That time I just broke off not too long with 1st ex. Maybe he could sense I treated him as good friend lo. As a friend, he’s really nice, sincere and helpful. I hope he finds a gf soon.

Apr 18 – What does she wants this time?

Wow, bitch sent me mail to congratulate me and asked how I am doing back in my current company. Wonder what is she up to again. But now that she doesn’t ‘kacau’ Meow (unless I do not know about it), I will stop calling her bitch, I dun like to call ppl like this. Sorry…maybe I was too boiled up last time. What to call her? Ms. Brainless ? Hmmm…she’s 22 nya after all. I wonder if Meow and her keep in touch through MSN at work or not? Or maybe emails and phone calls ? I hope they better not. She’s good at pulling him…she has done that and I am not surprised if she ‘attacks’ again. Young and sexy, she has more than 10 boyfriends before…but I hated how she treated Meow (before Meow and I got together). She’s really good…her tactics. Guys go crazy over her but girls hate her.

Oh…second mail, she asked “Do you still have hard feeling on me?”

I replied “Why do u say so?”

Next, she replied after lunch : “Dunno….coz when we meet at this over sat at tesco you give me a feeling that you dislike to see me….”

Me…in the midst of doing reports and screening mails, replied to her : Oh ? Less than one minute, u can conclude…wow….i remembered saying hi to u…didn’t I ? Maybe late liao, sleepy….Any reason for me to dislike u ?

Checked with Meow, she did MSNed him in the morning asking if I got beh shiok her. Meow said dunno.

3.30pm, she replied : “Can you promise on thing? don’t tell ‘Meow’…

He told me that not to call you or talk to you coz you have hard feeling on me….

that’s y I wanted to call you but I not dare to do so as I don’t want to hurt both of you…”


My reply ? Well, I wrote this : “I think you are too sensitive…now go back to work :p”

Hers : “really kah??? ^_^
ok la I listen to you laaa
so we still freeend ok?”

Me : “Since when we were fren ?? Hahaha, just joking….
I thought, once a fren, always a fren….u cannot undo ‘frens’. U think like kids meh…”dun wanna fren u liao”.”


Then hor, she replied “okokokook I will change my attitude…that day you went to tesco beli apa??”

Hmmm…did I ask her to change ? Wow, didn’t know I have such power…hahaha. Anyway, me just ‘eng siu’ (entertain) her, replied “some grocery stuff lo”.

There…hopefully she gets the hint and not write anymore. Coz I still beh shiok how she ‘kacau’ Meow and I. I dun wanna talk about her la. Talk more, spoil my appetite for dinner nya.

This morning, Gavin came and I gasp !! Same hair colour wor. But he said his was a disaster, should be bronze, dunno why turned out maroon.

Shereen, Gwen and Peng gave me a RM 50 Parkson’s voucher. Hmm…pai seh nya…I dun like the idea of ppl spending money for my birthday. Wish can liao, it’s the thoughts that count ma.

Lunch time, followed Chris to order his new Kenari. Ever since his medical report was out, he has been watching his diet. He had poh piah and laksa. So kesian. Sat, Gavin couldn’t stop laughing, he had to call me to peril Chris. Chris had a plate of Kai Lan. He said no meat, no fried or oily stuff. Mine and Gavin’s medical report still not out. We were so excited when on the way to clinic, mana tau, belum ready, ceh ! Never mind, can still eat without much worry hor, hehehe.

A few commented on my hair. Said ‘ngam’ (suitable) me wor…but dunno how sincere la. Anyway, I still feel it’s a bit too bright.

I think either I had lunch too early or I catwalk too much. I was hungry by 3.30pm, really hungry, I think got orchestra inside my tummy. So, I went down to bakery, wanted to buy bun…ei, got my favourite curry chicken bun - RM 1.30, but wait….fried bee hoon looks yummy too….RM 1.20. Of coz I didn’t buy both, wanna be ‘tau phui too’ (big fat pig) meh? The chilli on top of bee hoon attracted me more…hehehe. I went to makan in the new pantry. Pai seh la…later everyone around my cube smell liao….wanna offer also not right, dun offer also not right.

Signed my Performance Plan, am forced to add BPI project, sigh….seems like cannot run from BPI ler. Have to be Green Belt certified wor. Hopefully can la.

Meow called to inform he has to stay at Solectron until late. Dunno what time can finish, ask me to get Gavin fetch me. Gavin wasn’t sure what time, so I asked my ex, but in the end I decided to wait for Gavin. Dun want Meow to think I always ask ex, later he jealous again.

Jason came over to talk to me…nice catching up. Last time was too busy and pek cik to even pee, at least now I can breathe and go talk here and there, part of my job ma.

I had Korean instant noodle, was done eating by 9.30pm, SMSed Meow, told him not to worry about me, and that I miss him. He called short while after that, said will finish soon and will tah pao something for my dad. Ok, so here I am, typing this and will also go backwards few days, I still have not update my last Thurs – Sun’s postings.

Just now SMSed Y.Nee, asked how she is doing, but no reply from her, either she is asleep or watching TV. Hopefully she is ok la.

SMSed Meow no need to tah pao liao since he still in mainland. Dad fried sausages for himself. I was too full with noodles, cannot eat too much, weighing scale showing good signs lately, hehehe. I was updating my blog from 11pm till 2am…Meow called around 1am. He had late dinner with 2 other colleagues at Bukit Minyak. Poor thing…luckily tomorrow he can start work later than usual. Eh…me no wor…so I better quickly post this and go zzzz.

Apr 17 – Too Much Love?

Meow thought I wanted to go for the blogger gathering but he didn’t wanna join, so he had called his buddy Wong for breakfast. I told him I was too tired, so I slept. He was back by 10.30am and I woke up few times, saw him bz on his PC and PDA, downloading s/w, installing and configuring this and that. I had like 10 hrs of sleep.

I said to him “Waa…how many hours u spent on yr computer?”
He got angry, he thought I complained. I told him I was concerned with his health…not tired meh? 4 hours straining his eyes and back there. Why ah…lately we seem to have communication problem.

Late lunch at BJ’s cos I wanted to have McD…suddenly crave for beef burger and fries. But McD packed wor, so I ‘tah pao’ while Meow bought a Malibu Dream, we had our lunch at Coffee Bean, hehehe.

Elton said Benny didn’t bring my hp over, he called Benny and told me to wait an hour. Went hunting for my dancing shoes, couldn’t find any nice or suitable one. Ended up buying a grey sweater. Poor Meow, he looked bored and tired, but when I asked, he didn’t like it. Well, to me…I thought maybe he was too nice or shy to voice out, hence I would ask him from time to time, yet, he said I dun trust him.

An hour passed, still no response from that Benny, I told Elton I want a WUR (whole unit replacement)…he was speechless…we walked away, too disappointed. Let’s see how long it takes again, and it my patience runs out soon enough.

Back to my place to feed my sons before going back to his place, but ended up he was busy installing Video s/w.

We had some talk, I found out that Meow felt suffocated with too much love, kisses or hugs. I was like stung by bee. Never did cross my mind these would come from a sentimental guy like him. And I couldn’t hold back my tears when he reminded me of my ex. Am I the problem ? I was deeply hurt. Meow did comfort me back. But I really dunno what guys want. Sigh…being in love is so difficult. Maybe I should start acting ‘hard’ hor…sad saddddddddddddd. All this while, I thought the kisses n hugs before leaving the house were ways to show him I love him very much and I couldn’t get enough of him. I told him, I wanted these coz u never know what happens next, like if there’s gonna be a tomorrow. He didn’t tell me earlier and just dropped the bomb…why ah…why they all like this wan eh? Teach me how ? I am such a failure…

Dinner….wanted to go Taman Pekaka no parking, so back to his favourite place, Supertanker foodcourt. I met Sukanya with her husband. She was from Thai Sales. She asked me if got vacancy, wanna go back.

I tah pao Char Koay Teow for dad and sweet corn for myself. Back home, I gave some sweet corn to Yoda and Sky Walker. They seem to love it. Meow went back after dropping me off. 10.30pm, ironed clothes and sweated for an hour. I still managed to update 2 postings after my shower and attending to my kids, not bad la…but got too engrossed with other blogs till 2.30am. I must remind myself to sleep earlier.

Apr 16 – Celebrate Belated Birthday

I called Allstaff to question about the letter. Was very annoyed with how they wrote the letter. Meow was giving me the queer look, I think I must’ve sounded very fierce. Er…this one learnt from company’s customer wan…hehehe.

We had late lunch at Yee Hong. I was hungry, so had economy rice. Just before lunch, Meow’s colleague called to inform him that they need to go to Solectron again. I told Meow to drop me at hair saloon near my house so I could walk back after done. But he insisted on fetching me back when I was done with my hair cut.

In the saloon, I saw one aunty having her hair coloured. Since Meow would be working, why not hor ? So, I told Meow not to come back, have some rest before he went to mainland.

Told hairstylist I wanted maroon shade. I finished browsing whole Women Weekly’s magazine. Then, I stumbled upon a hair fashion book. Ei, that model’s highlighted hair not bad hor. I asked my hairstylist if she can do the same…she said since mine is maroon, highlight will be red wor. Ok, I told her as long as not too obvious. Too late, she convinced me that more is nicer, not so Ah Lian wor. Walau eh, turned out very very red ler. Dunno if dad will disown me or not. Finally, after 3 hours (including waiting), I walked back.

P.Lin still didn’t call although earlier we agreed on 6.30pm. I had quick shower, with some spare time, I cleaned my babies’ cage. Called P.Lin again, engaged…called Gigi, she said P.Lin would fetch me first wor….oh oh…I ran down the stairs…peep at the gate, there she was, in the car waiting with her friend.

I called her, asked her to give me 5 mins. She went back to her new place to get my present before picking Gigi. It’s a lovely pair of earrings…diamond and white gold. Very nice and am actually surprised P.Lin got good taste with jewellery.

We had nice dinner at Siriwan…my treat. Have to la, pai seh they bought present. Thanks girls for making the effort on this gathering and also the present. Meow came over just as we finished. Initially we wanted to watch Pacifier but time constraint. Anyway, Rojak was more important. I missed Rojak since last month. P.Lin and Shirleen did not join us. Meow and I ‘kidnapped’ Gigi to Esplanade. Will came after his shift work. Goodness, I was very full. Since movie cancelled, we decided to meet at Tesco.

11pm shopped till 12.30am. Gigi and Will left before us. Met H.Hwan with her hubby and baby. Her daughter very cute, long eye lashes, just like E.Keung’s. Just before I reached the pay counter, I bumped into bitch with her bf. I gave her a faint smile to acknowledge her presence. Then Meow and I kept walking without uttering a word about her existence. I dun wanna spoil our outing.

I took a Mentos (RM 0.89) and a Smarties (RM 1.49) for Meow’s nephew. Usually I don’t check my receipts, but having read about Tesco’s cheating article recently, I decided to give it a glance. No Mentos was billed, instead, Smarties was billed twice. I know it’s just a small amount but hey, I have my consumer rights ok, so I ‘thick face’ went over to the Customer Service counter to get my RM 0.60 refund. At least I can still buy a cup of Coffee at my office’s pantry and still save RM 0.10 :p Haha, me damn al-cheapo hor…actually, beh shiok kena tipu like this.

Back to Meow’s place, he was busy with his PDA again. I got to browse my blog for new comments, read some blogs before Zzzzz. I dared not read too long, later Meow think I dun bother about it.

Oh, hope Lucia enjoyed her birthday. She invited me but I couldn’t go. Happy Birthday Lucia.

Apr 15 – Sports is the Priority

Friday, casual day. Can wear jeans, yeah. Actually we can wear jeans on other days also la, but most ladies prefer office wear from Mon – Thurs. But some wear jeans whole year round, esp those in IT. Dunno why, maybe IT guys dun give them motivation to wear nicer kua. Perhaps they are sitting too far from Sales to feel the pressure of dressing up.

I told my ex I cannot find my CD again, he was doubting me…he thought I didn’t want to lend him. I passed him KL map.

Chris got his medical report…quite shocked. He was so health conscious but seems like his cholesterol and some others quite high wor. So now we have to ban McD, KFC, all fast food. Told him better not skip his ‘hamster’ breakfast. He used to mixed oats, nuts, almond, seeds, etc for his health drink. Look pretty much like what I feed my hamsters ma. I think stress also affected his health. Now, I am worried about mine. I hardly drink water, I think one day, less than 1.5 litre, but coffee cannot be less ler…but my coffee not thick, so it’s still ok. Ai seh…self console.

11.40am – Me – typing typing….suddenly….familiar Nokia Ringing tone (the Entertainer)…me paused…my ex called ? Look next to laptop, my hp idle…oops ! Not my hp ler. Sigh…that tone I set for my ex last time, of coz now no more…but just now stunned for a while. Can’t blame me ler…that tone I heard for 2 years ok.

Last time slept around 3am. Cham liao…everyday 4 to 5 hours sleep, very fast ‘chan’, SKII also cannot cure. But me not so lucky like Lilian, she got her ATM to buy her whole set…me only bought the Miracle Water, some more from own pocket ler. Finishing soon….will wait till next month before I buy la. Maybe will ask Yen Nee to use her member card so as she can add points.

I didn’t join Gavin or Chris for lunch today. Instead, join my Agilent colleagues at Pizza Hut (SSQ). Slow service…spaghetti ordered almost an hour liao but still not ready. Anyway, it was nice to see them. They can see that 3 of us, T.Way, Coral and I looked happy and fresh compared to last time when in TIS. Juliana and C.Jing didn’t join us though. Wow, 5 of us from same department left within a 2 months and all meet in current company…hehe.

“Tah pao McD for Gavin. He was too busy to eat lunch, Q end, lotsa things to rush. As for me, I have yet to be dumped with more responsibilities, so can still relax a bit. Managed to settle few issues…so, at least weekend not so ‘pek cik’.

Today bumped into my ex twice in the pantry, he was sitting there alone with a cup of coffee…trying to get some peace, away from his agents. Asked me about Micasa Hotel, so I told him the service not so good but room is ok. He’s planning to go KL meet some friends.

Meow messaged me that he was on the way back and would go to my place directly. And that time, I was still in office, so I thought he meant Office when he mentioned “your place”. Teng ~!!

Luckily ex still in office. Followed him, Birdy and KY for dinner, near my place, the yummy economy char bee hoon. Birdy was too busy on his hp, so we left first. Ex was telling me he wanted to ‘upgrade’ his car. Waa…ppl ‘ho seh’ liao. Now that he does not have to worry about saving for marriage (at least not so soon), he can spend more lo.

Meow didn’t ask who dropped me. I SMSed him that I would have dinner with my colleagues (hey, I didn’t lie ma, they are really my colleagues) and asked him to go ahead with his. Called him when I reached home, he was getting ready for badminton. I was a little disappointed coz he said he won’t go for Friday’s game, yet….sigh! So, no Rojak for tonight. He said he wasn’t sure what time I would be home, that was why he wanted to go for badminton. I was actually hoping he would turn up at my house, but nope. I guess all my guys are the same. Sports > me.

I was too tired to feel further disappointment, so I quickly shower and ‘kao tim’ my sons. I did not even turn on my pc or laptop. I was flat by 11pm. And for the first time, I went to bed before 12 midnight. Had slight headache too.

Meow called around 12 something when I was halfway boarding train to meet ‘Mr Chow Kun’. He could hear my sleepy voice and said never mind…I asked where he was, he said nearby, so I asked him to come over…actually he was just 2 mins away. I let him in…dad couldn’t finish his Korean Spicy noodles, so I helped out in while still half awake. Even the spicy soup couldn’t ‘wake’ me…dad kept warning me about the chilli…but still ok to me. Still manageable…hey, I ate cili padi when I was very young, 5 years old or may be younger…cried non-stop…mom gave me cili padi :p So, dun play play ya. But still cannot beat Meow, he bite and chew cili padi as if he’s eating Twisties.

Meow also tired…he decided not to have supper after shower. He slept at my place. We were both knocked out. At last, I got to pay back my hours of sleep over the week!

Apr 14 – My Memory Sucks?

Chris couldn’t join us for lunch, too busy. But Chuah (who is also my sis’s college mate) decided to join Gavin and I. Chuah is a very different guy. He’s quiet, pessimistic most of the time and very reserved with his opinions. He always said we are funny, it’s fun to hear us talk. Sometimes he ask questions like “Why humans need to work? Why do we need to eat? Why girls only wants rich guy ?” He likes to stereotype too. Poor guy, we think he needs to come out more and mix around. He’s quite humble and not bad looking. He’s tall, almost 6 feet but he hunched. His eyes always on the ground when he walks and he won’t see u, even if u smiled in front of him. Once, I asked why he hunches. He replied “I am tall, if I walk straight, ppl will think I am being snobbish”. ** faint ** ~!

Sometimes, we very ‘kek khi’ talking to him, nevertheless, we still enjoy his company. I wonder if sis faced such problem during her college times, hahaha.
Before going home, I stopped by my ex’s cube. I told him I found the CD liao. His expression was like so teasing “Where….where u left it ?”
One hand 90 degrees on the seat’s handle (upside down L), another thrown up front with palm faced upward, like Indians’ favourite gesture….waaa….like he already knew the answer. So, I told him I found in the CD-ROM tray and asked if he has left it there, but he denied using my PC wor. He kept insisting that CD we bought together, but I was pretty sure I bought it after we split. Dunno la…maybe there is another CD, somewhere out there. But that night, I couldn’t find the CD again, forgot where I placed it last night. I was busy with my kids, so I dunno where I left it again, sigh !

It’s Thursday nite, so Meow will not miss his badminton game on a Thurs. He said the players are more up to standard, so more fun. So, regardless, badminton he must play !

Apr 13 – Nescafe a MUST !

Reached office early again. A little sleepy, luckily got Nescafe 3 in 1. Favourite is still prefer black coffee. However, morning morning, I usually take with creamer/coffee mate. Black coffee is usually the second cup of the day.

Lunch at Tesco, bought Nescafe Gold and Nescafe Latte (ready, instant mix). Gavin and Chris bought sushi to eat at the food court. I had Nasi Lemak plus a California Roll. The Nasi Lemak very small, some more so expensive, RM 3.50. Got some yogurt and a big box of Soya bean milk.

Back in office, I have this craving for Nescafe Black but hor, no sugar? I didn’t buy earlier coz I already had one bottle, ready to bring to office tomorrow. So how ? I MSNed Gwen, she doesn’t have, called Chris, none, went to Gigi’s place, she also tak da…but hor, she was so nice, went to get from someone ! Yes…nothing taste better than a cup of hot Nescafe black :)

Went back home to switch on the lights first before we go for our dinner. Meow and I had ‘choo char’ at ‘Leng’ (pretty) Aunty’s place. This time, only 3 dishes. Steamed Tom Yam fish, Fried Asparagus with Chilli, Tau Eu Bak (Pork with Soy sauce). I called her ‘Leng’ because she still looks good, slim in shape after giving birth to 5 kids. Oh, all also males. Now, all grown up, youngest son already 11 years old. Eldest in college liao. All her sons help out in the seafood business. Youngest and eldest are better looking. Their dad is the cook. So, it’s a family business. Leng aunty has seen me with 3 different BFs. And today must have been the first time she saw me with Meow. She must be puzzled like everyone else, how I am attached with 3 guys in the same group, one after another. Duh…I also dunno…God’s arrangement…so dun question ok !

Found my Korean CD, had been searching for days liao. Guess where is it ? In my CD-ROM tray wor. But weird…I dun recall placing it in there…could it be my ex when he came over to help feed my dogs? Dunno la…anyway, happy to have found it.

Apr 12 – Beauty Sacrificed

** Due to poor memory, I shall write very briefly. Sigh, what to do, lately too busy and tired to update my blog **

Meow fetched me to work today and tomorrow. Had to wake an hour earlier than normal days. I reached office around 8am, very few ppl around esp. near where I sit. Mostly start work around 8.30am or 9am (for Sales). Went to take hot water, make coffee ma. Saw that handsome ANZ (Australia & New Zealand) Sales. Hmm…no longer look handsome compared to 10 months ago when I first saw him. Perhaps ‘chan’ liao. Usually, we would tell new comers to take a good look at their badge’s photo. If they dun take good care, half year later, look much worse than that picture. But then again, depends on which department u work for. If those who can ‘goyang kaki’ (shake legs), I bet they look better as time passes. Now, I am a little worried, will I look ‘chan’ again ? More lines and dark circles ? Choi ~~!! Hmm…must remind myself to splat my facial cream every night. Me always too lazy to apply ler. Buy that time ‘shiok’ (fun) la…after some time, those bottles seems idle, collecting dust :p

After lunch, went to have my finger scanned. Luckily queue not too long. Saw LL from Sales came down to clinic. LL is someone I would very much want to avoid bumping into. Not that I am scared of her, but I dislike her attitude ( I know many who dislike her too ) and after what happened between my 1st ex and her. I dun wanna talk about her for now. It will be too long a story.

Boss MSNed me if I was Ok, asked me to go home. I told her I was fine. She knows Sales threw me some issues, she is afraid I am stressed out. Told her I am all right, only thing that stresses me out most if Office Politics. She got shocked and asked what happened. Oops, I scared her, I hasn’t finish typing, so in the next sentence I typed “which I am glad does not happen in our team”. Honestly, I am happy to be in this current team and boss. I am thankful to God for arranging this path for me. I pray that whatever happens…I will have the strength and faith to go on.

Meow did not go for badminton tonight. I had to go home and switched the lights. Meow had a nap while I fed the dogs. Was almost done when dad came back. I headed for shower before I took care of my kids. Packed my stuff and headed to Meow’s place.

We had supper at Relau. His badminton friends joined in as they just finished the game. They asked why Meow didn’t go…he said no one wanted to play with him. Last week, he went for the game but the rest was afraid to play against him. Meow is too good for them. He won company’s tournament before and a few local ones. There are a lot of trophies in his home/room. Badminton ia in his blood, while Coffee is in mine, hehehe. I was quiet while I chew on my burger. I dun feel comfortable being surrounded by so many older guys.

I couldn’t really sleep…maybe because I miss my bolster.

Apr 11 – No Monday Blues

Felt sleepy when woke up, but when I thought about my new job, I feel refreshed. Long time didn’t feel like this liao…last time going to work was a dread. Once I was under this lesbian boss, going to work was like the worst fear. That time had to be on queue line taking calls, she limited our talk time to 3 minutes per call…siao! Greetings…requesting customer for system’s id, search and wait for id already more than a minute…not to mention some idiot customers dunno where to find the tag number. Oh…I dun wanna talk about this boss la, spoil mood nya.

I still receive positive comments from colleagues who know me, said I look prettier and slimmer wor (ceh…kembang liao).

** Actually hor I cannot remember what happened on Apr 11 coz when I am typing this, it’s already Apr 15, what to do, too tired to type ma, now different liao, no more TV, no more late nights till dawn, so I guess I will just type what I remembered **

I start to receive ‘sampah’ from Sales. U can really see their ‘tai-chi’ skills…pushing responsibilities to other functional areas or me ! Interesting indeed…I also have to learn this skill fast fast…and wear masks whenever I go near them. Memang susah (difficult).

Still can go home early, so we had early dinner before Meow goes for his badminton. I didn’t have time to rest within the 2 hours. Ironed my clothes, washed clothes, cleaned hamsters’ cage and shower…then Meow called just after I sat down for awhile…time to go. Went over to his place coz next day he will fetch me to work, dad got presentation/training ma.

We had supper before sleep…I think I had about less than 5 hours sleep. Never mind, Nescafe will help in the morning, hehehe.

Apr 10 – Communication problem

We woke up quite late. Last nite me busy with my blog thing while he was busy with his PDA. Kinda weird, we communicated thru MSN/Yahoo in the same house and some more in the same room, just 1 metre away, haha ! He was watching Chinese show downstairs while I was in this room, typing and also chatting with Peter Tan, the famous blogger. I told Peter that he looks like Tse Yin. In fact many agreed when Sinner’s Ark blogged about it. He is a very nice and humble guy (Ladies, sorry…this guy is taken though).

Meow and I had late lunch at Sunway Tunas. We were too lazy to go anywhere. Back home, he was back busy ‘poking’ his new PDA. After a while, I started bringing out my laptop to update my blog (sien - boring ma)…that was when he decided to turn off his PDA and asked if I wanted to watch DVD downstairs. I dun feel comfortable going downstairs esp. when there are always guests around playing mahjong. I said I dun wanna go, but before I managed to explain further, he went down, ignore me wor…like no shiok with me liao. That spoilt my mood, so I did not type anything, just checked my yahoo mails and went downstairs to accompany him. Although there were surround speakers, still cannot beat the mahjong players…I can’t even hear what the actors were talking about.

Later I found out Meow actually wanted me to sort of ‘show my face’ around his parents, that was why he wanted me to watch DVD downstairs instead of enjoying the privacy in his room with air-cond and being braless (mind u, it’s really uncomfortable wearing bra at a home – that’s y I prefer to have my own place). He complained I always ‘hide’ in his room and dunno how to communicate with his parents. But I told him I am like that ma. I hardly talk to my 1st ex’s or 2nd ex’s parents…oh, not to mention, I dunno how to talk to my dad. I only learnt to talk to by dad when my sis went to Canada…even now, I am still learning how to talk to my dad. But with friends, I cannot stop yakking away. Weird hor? I guess I got this from my dad ler…he’s also quiet at home but with his members…walau eh, sometimes shocked me…completely different person.

It was just a lazy day for both of us. Dinner, we had ‘loh bak’ and ‘poh piah’ nearby his house…where there was Chinese stage show for ‘Ang Kong’ (Chinese Gods). It was still early when we went, so it was ok for me. No joss sticks smell or loud ‘tong tong chiang’ yet. I cannot stand the smell and smoke from joss sticks, smell will make me sneeze, smoke will irritate my eyes until tears started flowing. Am glad I am not Buddhist liao.

Had supper at Relau and bought dad ‘Siu Mai’ plus ‘Lor Mai Kai’. Brought my kids home, cleaned their cage….walau eh…so late liao, I sleep after 2am again.

Ap 9 – Getting Older

I received calls and SMS from cousin Sue, Gigi, Intan, Noor, Daniel, Sherley (same day), Mako, Sis, dad’s gf, Allan and P.Lin. Thanks for remembering my birthday and thanks for the thoughtful wishes.

Was waiting for Gavin to call but till almost noon still didn’t ring me, so I buzzed him. He was still Zzzz wor. I told him it was ok, we go for movies next time.

Meow wanted to have McD for lunch ( I just had McD yesterday but nvm la). I had beef burger again, hehehe. With Meow, I dun have to worry about taking beef coz he doesn’t pantang…not like my ex, he will not kiss me if I eat beef…what to do, godson of Kuan Yim Ma’ (not that evil Customer Service lady, but real Goddess of Mercy)…if u pray to KYM, no beef please !

Meow accompanied me shopping for clothes. I got 5 pieces of tops, mostly cardigans, all for less than RM 150.00! After that we lepak at Coffee Bean…yap, eat again lo…Choc Fudge cake and Ultimate (we share la). Food digested from walking around…u know la, when girls go shopping…hehehe….considered exercise also ma, burn calories, as for Meow, he did too…helped me carry my shopping bags. Hehehe.

Went to collect my DVD player which I sent for repair earlier. Meow bought 5 or 6 DVDs, I doubt if we have time to watch all. After that back to his place to rest. Celaka, my hp still not ready.

I gave my two sons bath. Had to carefully wash them under the running tap in the sink, I used a little shower foam as well. As for their head, I used finger to brush through…scared wet their eyes or noses ma. Yoda and Skywalker looked so skinny and cute when wet. Dried them and placed them back in the cage…they started licking and ‘combing’ their fur…hehehe. Yoda was shitting endlessly during the entire bath. Maybe excited or scared…I think I wiped about 10 pcs of his shit, haha.

Dinner, I was so hungry…I had this big appetite for Nestum Prawns, yum yum. I told Meow I wanted to eat ‘Choo Char’. We had dinner near his home at Sg. Ara. Two of us ordered – Nestum Prawns, Fried Vege with Chilli, Ikan Bakar (Grilled Fish), ‘Yok Choy Thong’ (Herbal Soup with Chic) and some more Meow add rice. So, u can imagine how full we were…and the food was good and cheap. RM 40.50 only for 4 dishes. The main branch at Batu Lanchang there, near the field before u reach KFC junction. If we go makan steak, might cost double or triple and maybe not so fulfilling ler.

I didn’t really celebrate but happy to spend time with Meow although I feel a bit bad leaving dad at home. I told my friends not to remind me of my birthday next year coz no front number change from 2 to 3 :(

Apr 8 – No Sunshine Square Foodcourt Please!

Friday liao, casual wear …Blouse and jeans. Sales started to send in requests as Gavin had send out announcement yesterday about my new role. I went to Customer Service first thing in the morning regarding a part shortage case. Talked to agent who handled the case, she told me supplier no response and she couldn’t call them coz QA dun allow them. Hmm…weird…customer escalating as they stick to dunno what sort of rules. I made her promised to feedback by end of the day. I sent out mail to Sales Country Manager (SCM) on my findings. SCM demanded action from CS agent. By 4pm, CS agent said they managed to source for backup parts from Part Sales. Hello ?? After almost a month then they found this solution…to source from Part Sales !! OMG!! I thought that should be their first source of solution…sigh~!! And to think their CS agents wor. But couldn’t blame them…under ‘Kuan Yim Ma’s’(Goddess of Mercy) guidance…what to expect. Excuse me…I dun mean to offend any God or religion, but this nickname was given to her by Ken. He said she damn action, thought of herself so high, like as if ppl worship the ground she walked…so pure…so pretty…so so so damn ASS la ! She has this habit of carrying her handbag on the top of her elbow, arm 90 degrees, butt sway left, right…walked….paused a little....another hand flicked her long hair over shoulder, head ‘kesi-kesi’ (pretend) to turn a little (to see if anyone was watching her), then continue to repeat the swaying and head turning episodes…see liao can puke wan. So that was how she earned the title lo.

I dun really dislike ppl for such attitude. What made me boiled was she was close with a shorty bitch from my previous department. This shorty bitch damn free, she only eats and play games at work. I was handling reports that time, so I had to extract lotsa data with 2 PCs, hence I was seen doing nothing during office hour. What ppl did not see was when I worked till 10pm or when I did not go home and when I came back during weekend or when I worked from home. U see, my department damn kiam siap (stingy), dun wanna get me workstation or server, I had whole lot of data to extract and compile plus analyse. So this shorty bitch stabbed me from the back, gossiped to my lesbian boss at that time and her good fried ‘Kuan Yim Ma’ (KYM).

I knew about it when I applied for transfer to Jen’s department. I found out later from Jen coz the big boss asked Jen if I was such terrible person as mentioned by KYM. Luckily I got the position. Shorty bitch, KYM and lesbian boss were surprised I was leaving the most politic department.

Oops…got too carried out talking abt KYM. Back to Friday hor. Time passed fast when u have things to do. It was lunch time while I was busy figuring what to do first. Chuah, the shy and quiet tall guy joined us for lunch. Had McD at Sunshine Square. No way I would eat at the foodcourt. I banned the place coz clothes and hair very smelly when back to office, really cannot stand. Allan, Gavin, Ken…many others like to tease me during lunch time, they would purposely (and pretend to) choose SSQ foodcourt. I always said ok, I will meet you guys after lunch. Haha.

We eat near SSQ coz wanna buy Oral Aid and Coffee Mate for Allan in Xiamen (Alice to bring to him). Oh, back from lunch, saw Chuah talked to Rosalind (sister’s college mate). Turned out that Chuah was my sister’s classmate. I wonder if my sis still remember him.

Meow reached Penang slightly after lunch, had short nap before fetch me after work. We wanted to go for Rojak but was too tired. Brought my sons over to his place as I won’t be going home till Sun. Meow helped me configured my laptop, so can use the Wireless at his place.

12am…Gavin called to sing me birthday song. He was the first to wish me. Then I received dad’s SMS. I was surprise to receive Jason Mumbles SMS too. So touched.

That night…Meow and I talked. I could sense he was not comfortable with my ex sending me home, so I asked if he thinks that my ex still likes me or I still cannot let go of my ex. Meow said Yes wor. Hmmm….I dunno…I guess I dun wanna think too much. But sometimes I wonder too, dunno how to explain…but can feel lo. Anyway I told Meow he’s the one I love now and it’s not possible to be back to my ex liao. I know my ex, even if he still likes me, he will never come back, he has too big an ego !

Apr 7 – Favour from Ex

3rd day liao, still doing my ‘Miss World’ wave and smile. Haha…yes, ‘Miss World’ was and is my nickname in this company…thanks to Ken la ! Sometimes they call me ‘Catwalk’. I dun purposely sway my butt ler…it was natural I guess….not excessive though, otherwise ppl will puke !

I am not gonna write in detailed coz I cannot remember much liao (It’s 2am 11th Apr when I am writing this).

Well, let’s summarise a bit. Waa…my readers must be happy to know it’s gonna be a short post.

Meow went to Ipoh with another male colleague and back only tomorrow. I’ve asked Gavin to give me a lift back but he has to work a little. I wasn’t comfortable due to my AV…I wanted to go home ASAP. So how ? I called my ex and asked what time he planned to leave, he said to let me know later. At around 7pm, he told me would leave office at 8pm. Ok, anything la…luckily that time tummy not so pain liao.

I brought back my laptop first time. Ex saw my Targus bag, said not suitable for ladies to carry. Actually I dun really bother, as long as easy to carry, anyway, that bag cost more than RM 100 ler…of coz no need to pay, comes with the system ma, charged to cost centre.

We had dinner at Jelutong…aiya, favourite Char Koay Kak not open wor. I had Hokkien Mee while he had those fried stuff like spring roll and kuihs (dunno how to call la). He didn’t eat much coz tummy not well. Earlier Meow called just as I was about to enter ex’s car. Told him I was taking a lift from ex…Meow’s first question was “Gavin can’t fetch u meh?” Oh…oh…I sensed jealousy. He did not ask further, told me to call him when reach home. He was in hotel liao.

Back home, I called Meow…indeed he was jealous. I ironed some clothes before shower. Called my ex to ask something ( cannot remember what liao ). Then as soon as I hung up, he called back. He asked if I still have the Korean CD he bought. Excuse me ? I thought I bought wan leh. I told him I dunno…but I have another Korean CD. Later I tried to find…dunno where I placed liao. Until now (11th Apr) still cannot find, not in Meow’s car wor.

I called Meow again after I shower and ‘kao tim’ (settle) my kids food and cage. As usual, I slept late again. I didn’t even have time to on my pc to update my blog. Too tired liao.

See…as promised…short post nya. ;P

Apr 6 - Excited

Second day at work, I still feel excited. I was wearing black from top to toe. Black spaghetti top with long sleeved cardigan over it, black skirt and black heels, oh not to mention, black handbag. But all were of different shades of black. I love black most for my clothes…white, blue, beige, grey…ya…u can say I am quite conventional type. I dun fancy colourful clothes. I prefer plain or simple stripes/patterns. That is why I have difficulty shopping for my office wear. I dun like frills/lace. Hmm…maybe gotta do with my age ? Sometimes I wonder …those aunties in 50’s and above, wearing what I believe was targeted to teenagers…u know, those bright coloured, with shining designs tops ? I find boutiques are selling either teenagers or aunties clothes….what about us in late 20’s and 30’s ? I am slowly trying to blend in…no choice ma…so, nowadays, u can find some red/pink tops in my closet. But one thing for sure, no big, funny, obvious patterns !

I went to collect my laptop from IS. Was checking my mails…wow, I still receive mails from Data Warehouse, I guess they did not remove my email address when I resigned. Gavin came and we went for free medical checkup. I paid RM 50 for another 5 tests which include breast, colon, ovarian cancer. I forgot what the other 2 were. The nurse couldn’t find vein on my left arm, so she poke my right arm. She poked but no blood flow out, so she shifted the needle…here….there….up…down…walau eh…u think that’s joystick meh ? Luckily blood started flowing into one of the three bottles. When she stopped to change for 2nd bottle, no more blood. She said never mind, will take from first bottle. Phew ~~!!

Today my boss came from Singapore. She reminded me to claim OT if I work late. First lesson…Relationship ! She kept reminding that’s important to build rapport…haha…no problem I guess…one of my best skills ;)

Three of us (Boss and Gavin) went to another site in mainland to build rapport with Logistics and Production Control. We had lunch with one of the managers, got my ass on Harrier’s seat !! Japanese food at Auto-City. Boss treated us, saw her took out RM 300.00
I didn’t eat much coz I dunno how to eat raw food. We went across to buy 2 cakes from Secret Recipe for the 2 departments. After that, we headed back to Island and straight to airport coz Boss had to go KL for customer’s new office warming party.

Back to office, almost 4pm…time flies huh. Meow came to fetch me after work. He took his car for service and tyres alignment. We had dinner nearby while waiting. However, car still not ready and remember I was in long-sleeved cardigan ? I was experiencing sauna for more than 15 mins until I decided to walk back to his house. Although my feet were damn sore and tired, I would rather not die of heat. I called him when I reached and headed straight to shower. Later I found that AV finally arrived after 40 days !! Good thing was it didn’t come when I was in KL for my convo. Thank God for answering my prayers.

Apr 5 – First Day 2nd time

I wore my pink top with a black cardigan on to match with my black pants. Light make-up as usual. Reached office at 8.25am, first day, report to work 8.30am as stated in the offer letter. I rang Kim from EE. She asked if I know my way, of coz ! So, I told her I would go up by myself. My colleague not there yet. I went to old reporting team…no one also…never mind, I went to buy breakfast alone…saw Sue ('thong eh'– nuts loose, I couldn't tolerate her last time but after so long, I guess…it's always better to have less enemy)…invited her to go bakery. I took 2 curry puffs…she paid for me…waaa…she hardly treat wan leh…she said, that was my “Welcome Meal”.

Before I even managed to reach my cube, I met Gigi ! Sooo happy to see her. She too, I guess. She was on the way free medical checkup.

I gave one curry puff to Gavin but he was too busy to eat. Initially he wanted to go townhall for free medical checkup (Urine & Blood tests)…but he couldn't…anyway, tomorrow still can go. He managed to brief me a little. I was busy catwalking whole day. Thrice to HR department…twice to Security for my new badge…once to downstairs for fingerprint scanning (unfortunately have to wait till I have my badge)….oh…few times to IS to have my laptop installed / configured. And…few trips to the ladies and pantry (for Coffee of course!). I regretted wearing the 3 inches high heels. My feet damn tired and sore …walking to the car park at lunch time was almost killing!

Talking about lunch…Gavin and Chris were so happy when I brought out my tissues. They said they have not used any tissue for 8 months since I left. Just licked their lips…haha…so pity. I had Nasi Lemak at BJC's foodcourt. Gavin whispered to me “Thank goodness u are back, at least now I dun have to listen to Chris blabbing abt his work everyday”. It's not that we dun wanna be ears to him…but he was explaining in details abt how he structured those Mods in the database, how the bundles were tied in…er…maybe next time I should tell Chris why I chose to leave that Dbase Analyst position…hahaha…not my cup of tea.

I was stopped by many familiar ppl….mostly asking the same questions...I should've recorded my response on my hp. Funny why many asked “Hey, u are back ?” Yaa…of coz I am ! More practical ones asked which department I am attached to. Meow said I should try “Ei, u can see me ah ? U shouldn't be able to see me…I am not here….” Hahaha…will try next time. Shereen told me she misses my Bananas….oi, not ‘that’ la. I dun have…but when I was in the same department, I always buy them bunch of bananas whenever I go for lunch at BB coz the fruit stall is nearby only (near Sunshine Square). Gigi and Peng said they miss my dad's Mango/Banana Cakes.

I bumped into my ex on the way to IS. He asked where I sat, told him, he saw my notebook and peril said now I got laptop…different liao….not like last time, whatever, me just smiled and left. I felt good that day meeting old buddies…but of coz there were few I tried avoiding…those who back-stabbed, evils ones, bitches…however, now that my job requires me to have good rapport with Monkeys Salesppl, I had to wear masks from today onwards. I felt like being on MTV or Colgate Advertisement the whole day, smiling and waving every time I see familiar faces. Boy, it was tiring, not to mention the same response I had to repeat about my disappearance and reappearance.

Back home, I was kinda glad I had some time to post my blog after feeding my sons and cleaning their cage. Meow went for badminton. I selected what I wanted to wear for next day. I slept around 2am+ again. Can't help it…my brain just won't shut down.

Apr 4 – Medical Checkup

7.30am, Kim from HR called to confirm on the medical checkup which I had to go first for X-tray at Dato Kramat before noon, then urine test & blood pressure at the company’s clinic by 2.45pm.

I continued to sleep till 9.30am. Dad fetched me down. So many ppl waiting. I asked the receptionist, she told me some just came along to kepo. I had to stand, dad waited outside of the clinic, smoked his pipe. Saw a guy in grey shirt and black slacks…my guess, a candidate for the same company.

I waited for about 10 mins before I was called in. Had to remove my shirt and bra, skirt pulled down a bit….inhaled and held breath for about 5 seconds, done ! Damn fast. Was told to wait outside, another 10 -15 mins…got my film ready.

Dad brought me to Tg Tokong for lunch. Nice Malay food at this flat (Dunno what name), it’s next to Tulang corner which was hit by December’s Tsunami. Very laku, a lot of ppl came; luckily we reached the stall before 12noon. Two office ladies shared table (we were finishing). I overhead one saying that there were no Fried Chicken or Fried Fish…I told them there were some, but finished liao, they should come earlier. She said they thought they were already very early…12.20pm….well ladies, not early enough to get yr fried chic or fish ler.

Back home, I showered and had a short nap. Damn sleepy and tired. Woke up at 2pm, quickly put on my ICI paint make-up and dressed up. Reached Employee’s Entrance (EE) with 5 mins to spare as I had to walk from outside’s entrance (abt 5 mins walk – I was wearing 3 inches high heels.

Saw a bunch of guys with the same big envelope (X-tray film)…I think abt 5 of them then. They look comfortable talking while I was busy looking out for familiar faces. A technical training senior whom I once saw at the hair saloon near my house came to say hi. He asked whether he saw me somewhere…I told him…he didn’t know it was me then. Turned out he’s staying only 2 roads away from my house. Kim called the security to check if all candidates turned up, there should be another 6 (late comers !!) coming….overheard the guard said.

Upon hearing this, those guys went to sit at the nearby bakery. I continued to stand where I was…still bz lasering around for familiar faces when I was interrupted greeted by a tall, fair, Korean-looking (quite smart actually) guy. Wow, he decided not to join the other 4, instead started introducing himself as Sherman. Soon…we were talking like non-stop and were too busy to realize that the late comers have reached. I found out that Sherman was offered a Manager level position, he’s from another MNC factory, very nearby and that this current company we are joining will compensate for his salary in lieu at the former company. What surprised me was he has no idea what product/country he will be supporting. I managed to peek at his offer letter later as I was standing behind him…C1 level. He will be joining in mid Apr. In fact, most of the guys are joining mid Apr. Eleven of us (3 girls) are Chinese, only one Bengali guy.

We were brought to Clinic for the tests and there were abt 5 forms to fill. Chinese nurse very ‘cheong hei’…kept repeating her instructions. I didn’t bring my specs…didn’t cross my mind there would be eye test. I told Malay nurse I didn’t have my glasses with me. She asked me to try anyway, to read second last line. I wasn’t sure on only a letter …it was a “C” but I said “O”. She told me to bring my glasses next day and test again wor. Then she went into another room to check on the urine. She told Chinese nurse that I need to retake eye test before she went. As Chinese nurse (btw, both the nurses old enough to be my mom) is long-winded, she asked me again…I told her I managed to read except one letter…and I was without my glasses…she said…”Oh, then yr eyesight consider very good”. Damn the Malay nurse…luckily I voiced out, otherwise I had to go for second round and maybe wasted another day.

During the tests, Chinese nurse busy explaining what/how to fill in. There was this section about Habit. She gave examples….”u can put in your bad habits….like if u are heavy smoker, alcoholic, like to shake yr legs, always have headaches, bite yr nails when nervous, twitch yr eyes, sleep-walking, etc….write down, no worries, this is for us to know so as we can help u, we can help to arrange free tests for u”. Ya right, u think u are talking to 3 year olds, aunty ? Wanna trap us huh ? Not that ‘soi-soi’ (silly). I wanted to put none, but in the end, I wrote that I had trouble falling asleep, need at least an hour.

After the almost endless check-ups, we were brought upstairs to a meeting room in the new area…not enuff place, 5 of us, another 2 guys and 2 girls had to sit at the new pantry to fill up another 10 forms I think. I sat down, the 2 guys sat with me while the 2 ladies sat at another table. Only one introduced himself as Alex earlier. Both of them joining TS. I did talk to the ladies earlier. Believe it or not, we took 1 hour to fill up those stupid forms. I dun understand why we still need to fill up “Application form” when we were signing the Offer Letter already. Meow called and asked if I was ready to go, I told him to go back his office (he just left from customer’s site).

I managed to lepak at Alvin’s cube for a while. Saw Gwen (super big size)…she so excited…she came to shake my hand and ‘hayun’ (swing) non-stop…I almost fell off. Miss Water Tap (she is like CNN, she gossips and spread it very fast, also pro at back-stabbing, oh, she damn kiasu as well) damned ‘hao lian’ (show off)…pretended not to see/hear me until I called “Oi, wanna get married punya cha bo (lady)”….waaa…then she kesi-kesi (pretend) so bz and hesitated to turn her head around…memang ‘buey ta han’ (cannot stand) her ! She was the main reason I left that department. She tried influencing Gigi (my good friend of 16 years) to go against me. Saw her new specs…orangey red at the sides, frameless but the lenses damn thick….worse than her earlier ugly specs.

I had to go coz Meow called me liao. On the way out, I passed by my ex’s cube to say hi. Asked when I start work….next day !

I slept around 2am coz update my posts ma. Damn…will have to forego my Chinese and Korean shows liao.

Apr 3 – Convo

6.30am dragged myself to toilet. I think I barely slept. We had breakfast at Topas Restaurant….included in the package. First time I had beef bacon, not bad. Meow had 2 bowls of porridge besides the French toast, sausages, bacon…he couldn’t resist the ‘tau joo’. By 7.45am, we left for Hotel Nikko. I saw a lot of graduates snapping pictures with family and friends from lobby to 2nd floor (where the Grand Ballroom is). I registered and took the gown. Then went to ‘kepo’ on the photo package. Chose the simplest, 3 photos – self-pix, family pix, receiving scroll pix…RM 200 + RM 60 (for delivery postage). Dad bought me a cute teddy bear sold at the counter – RM 59 !! Those ppl really know how to make money eh.

Meow told me that later I will have flowers…Sis and him pakat. Sis sent him money to order flowers for me. So ‘kam thong’ although she shouldn’t have, waste money ler. The florist delivery guy did not call Meow, instead he sent to the USQ registration counter…knew about it only after the ceremony when I asked about my cert (without signature). Poor Meow calling his sis and worried abt the flowers. Oh, the cert was a temporary cert for ceremony purpose coz I had received mine last year by post. However they did not send me my transcript.

We managed to snap a few pictures before rehearsal. My square-hat kept falling off, I didn’t bring any hair pins…forgot abt it…one hotel staff was nice, gave me a pack, said he heard me searching for pins…I thanked him, but as I went up the elevator, I opened the packet and turned out it was the sewing kit…he thought I wanted safety pin~! I managed to changed a fitting one just minutes before rehearsal started. I was seated at the last row, last person on the left side.

Guests queuing to go in at 10am. Meow, Sako and Dad seated quite far behind…but luckily the video camera we borrowed from Meow’s sis has damn good zoom. Only thing is, pity Meow, holding the camera high to shoot from the moment before I went on stage till I was seated back after the handout of my scroll. Thank goodness the ceremony finished before 12 noon, otherwise I would’ve fainted, so hot…and my own shirt quite thick.

There was light brunch buffet, Dad and Sako ate some, I was too thirsty to enjoy any food, couldn’t find water, only coffee. Meow went searching for my flowers…that was when I noticed my cert has no signature and went to ask about it, eventually found my flowers. 2 dozen of my favourite yellow roses with small white daisies and forget-me-not flowers…felt so heavy…I just weighed – 2kg!! Luckily my dad’s gf or Meow didn’t get me more flowers…else ‘tangan patah’ (broken arm). The lady asked me to return the gown right away…(but website mentioned return by 2pm). She said, no, have to immediately (no way…I haven’t taken any pictures with the flowers leh, some more so many others out there gobbling food…me not stupid ler). I put on my colgate smile and said, please….give me another 30 mins, wanna take pictures ma. She said, ok, 10 mins (ya right…u wait la).

We went to downstairs, took some pictures at each floor. There was a nice landscape with small waterfall behind a glass door. Glad the pictures came out ok. Waa…I think I smiled so much, I felt silly liao…hehehe. Returned the gown and collected my RM 250 deposit back.
We reached Micasa before 1pm. Aiks…elevator not moving up…checked with receptionist…she said it was because we had passed the 12 noon check out time. I felt like shaking that Mr Johnny, he was lucky not to be there then. Now, what boiled me up was that lady receptionist asked me with her darlie smile, “Would you like to extend for another day?”
Is this how u do business? I need to extend and pay more just to get my things away from yr hotel? I was trying to not raise my voice…but with a very annoyed tone, I told her Mr Johnny has agreed with the 2pm checkout time. Hearing this, she quickly went into another room for a while before coming out and give us new key. Hmmm…I think next time I might not stay there even though the room is satisfactory. I damn dislike the service.
After shower, we had rest, Meow took half hour nap.

We started journey back to Penang at around 2pm. I was hungry but can tahan (hold) till Rawang. We had lunch at a coffee shop. I had chicken curry noodles, Sako had soup noodle with lotsa cili padi. Meow had Wan Tan mee while Dad tried Meatballs noodle. A short while after we resume our journey, Sako was in pain…tummy upset, upper part of abdominal. We stopped to buy Pomelo and biscuits at Tambun, Sako waited in the car, she was having terrible pain. We had quite a lot of stops on the way back, trying to find her medicine…in the end, gave her Eno…but no help. I was sleepy but couldn’t sleep, coz Sako was really uneasy…and Meow was sleepy…he kept eating the sour candy…so afraid he fell asleep behind the wheels.

Took Sako to Klink Aman at Gelugor once we crossed Penang bridge. Told the lady at reception counter that my aunt is having terrible pain, if she can inform the doctor and let her in. She said got patient with doc and still have to wait for another child waiting with her dad. My goodness !! I will never step into that clinic again. After some 10 mins…my aunt was asked to wait up at the other side. That was when I saw Munira, an ex sch. mate. I asked if she was sick, she told me…she was waiting for her mom and grandma….oh…so I see…that’s y we had to wait so fucking long !! We waited like almost 25 mins before the doc attended to my aunt. Poor Sako, she was really in terrible pain…almost in tears. Doc said could be gastric, gave her a jab and some medicine.

Helped Sako up to her apartment, she said she will be ok. Told her to call me, later she did when I was in shower, she told Meow she is ok, sleeping after taking medicine. Dad went out for Nasi Kandar while Meow and I had Korean instant noodles. Actually I wasn’t hungry, was too tired…but ate anyway.

11pm, Dad’s gf called to asked abt the ceremony. My ex called while I was still on the phone…so Meow answered the call, asked him to call back later, but ex said he was about to reach my house, wanna pass me back house keys.

He came in by himself and was waiting downstairs by the time I finished my conversation with Aunty. Meow was in toilet. I passed ex the pomelo and biscuits as appreciation for his help. He told me he used my bathroom earlier when he came in to feed my dogs. He called at about 2pm, telling me he fed them. He asked whether I noticed the cup of water next to my computer…I did…I lied to him that I accused Meow, actually I suspected he checked some thing on my PC. Well…who knows…he might be reading this now ? Hmm…anyway…I dun really mind liao…coz Meow also reads…strangers read…so…if I post this on the internet, any person can read right ? Not that I purposely force them to read ma. However I wonder…why would anyone be interested to read my damn long posts? Can tell me ah ? For those who knows me…maybe sometimes get excited when I mention their names kua, is it ah ? Hehehe…

Anyway, dad came back about 10 mins after ex came. Both Meow and ex left soon after. And I was too tired to even on my pc then as I had to go for medical checkup next morning. I left HR a message to call me in the morning.

Apr 2 – To KL

I let dad sat in front while I sat with Sako (aunt) at the back…coz I know the two of them not really in good terms. Initially dad didn’t want to go…but sis and his gf managed to persuade him.

We had brunch at Ipoh. Yummy Dry Curry Noodles (choice of Hor Fun/Mee) near Lorong Panglima. Dad and Meow had 2 bowls each. Then we walked around the corner to buy thin slices of Peanut biscuits. RM 0.35 each, the uncle took about 10 mins to pack 4 packets of 40 pieces…very very carefully slot each piece into the plastic bags. Meow took video of the place to note down the landmarks (in case he forgets the way) so as he can ask his colleague to bring him there next time they go visit customers in Ipoh.

We made a few stops for toilet breaks, reached KL and checked into Micasa Hotel at aroung 4pm. I was disappointed when told my reservation was for 1 room. I booked for 2 ! Lady receptionist took my IC, photocopy…then, an Indian guy, Johnny took over my case and asked the same thing. We were tired and I felt bad as there wasn’t any sofa for the rest to sit while waiting…just 2 chairs at the registration counter. Stupid guy, he asked for my IC again…and went to photocopy. My dad shifted the earlier photocopied IC 4cm away from where the lady left it, right in front for Mr Johnny to see…but guess what, he appeared clueless and acted like it was okay to Photostat twice. Next, he asked me how many keys I wanted, need to deposit RM 20 per key. And dunno altogether RM 250 for down payment. WTF ?! I told him if I could pay by Credit Card and shouldn’t that be when I check out? He thought to himself for few seconds before saying ok. And he really made my blood boil with his next idiotic question. He asked for my Credit Card details !! ** Pengsan (faint) **. Showing annoyed face :

I said : I’ve given Ms Carol my CC details when I called to book, please check in your database

Johnny Ai-Bin (want face) : I need your CC details again

I said : (Saw my CC number on the screen display) Shouldn’t you have it in your record already ? (I so wanna whack him)

Johnny Ai-Bin : (Eyes searching round the screen for few seconds) Yup, but I need your last 3 numbers (walau eh, like that also can, cover his dumb mistake).

I said : bla bla bla…(I had to repeat 3 times).

I dun understand…nice hotel but poor service. And best idiotic thing was, that lady who served me earlier was happily chatting away with another bitch colleague, leaving poor Johnny with their disorder system. I should’ve choosen Sucasa (cheaper and better service), but settled for Micasa coz it’s much nearer to Nikko Hotel.

Got into the lift, got one cute Ang Mo (white Mat Salleh) in there. He was so nice, told me we need to fit the “button” of the key to activate the key. Standing there stunned and like a helpless child, I let Mr Cute took my key to activate the elevator for us, he went out at 3rd floor (I think) before passing back the key to me. I was still trying to gather myself, brain not functioning fast enough…then I felt so ‘pai seh’….duh…need a foreigner to help me in my homeland. Embrassing nya ~~!!

Our room at sixth floor…nice room, luckily it’s nice and comfy, otherwise I will complain. My Johnny called to check if we are ok with the room. We have welcome gift, cookies in nice box. Meow and Dad shared a room while Sako and I took the Master bedroom. Too bad our room not facing swimming pool. We rested for a while. Dad had a nap while waiting for his business partner. Sako, Meow and I went to KLCC. We only browsed about 2 floors before we decided to have dinner at the foodcourt. Called dad to check if he wanted dinner. His friend not there yet, so we packed Sate with Nan Bread for him before driving back. Saw dad waiting at lobby for friend, he told us he will eat dinner…so we shared the Sate thing for supper.

Sako watched CNN about Pope’s condition. Meow and I went for a stroll along Jln Ampang and we went in to check on Nikko Hotel. We saw a staff keying the function details for my convocation at the screen…so we went closer to have a look (which ballroom)…we were damn close coz we stared at a piece of paper next to the screen (coz he hasn’t keyed in the venue). Oops, we accidentally saw the package price paid by Uni….RM 57k ++ ! Wow ~!

Waited for S.Ping to pass me gift for my Convo. She gave me a cute small red dragon soft toy and jelly beans (in a bottle like pills from Australia). We managed to exchange hugs, she had to run as her colleague waiting to send her back. Meow and I walked back, we saw a Nasi Kandar Penang outlet next to Nikko Hotel. I bet it’s not as nice as ours in Penang…dunno, we were too full to try. Sis called when we were walking back. Felt so kam thong, so many called. She also very excited…some more said I should be proud of myself, for working and studying same time (no classes), financing half of my fees. Ya, it was indeed very tough to be studying when u work in MNC environment, fast paced and stressed out.

Dad came back just when we started eating his supposed-dinner. He ate a little too, and we finished off the egg tart and Seremban Siew Pao we bought at Ipoh. Wow, by 12am, all went to bed. But I couldn’t sleep…too cold…my aunt said warm wor…I was freezing cold…I couldn’t stand and went to squeeze in with Meow….ahh…better….but later…I felt a bit too warm…then back to Master Bedroom…so I didn’t really sleep.

P/S: I told Meow I went out with ex yesterday. He made a face, and asked if he go out with other girls then only tell, can ? Hmm…CANNOT !! I went out to makan, not date. :P
