A very short vacation

4D, anyone?

Condolences

Looks like i often have the mood to blog only during the late days of the week. Yes, it's another friday here. Gets so tired on this friday, somehow. Hubby's aunt passed away on Wednesday midnight. Attended her funeral at havelock road last night. We have visited her in hospital days before as she had a swollen and painful hand which we thought it was only an old ailment for the aged. She was still able to talk, joke and move about in her bed. Never did we know that she was warded to ICU just days after we visited her. Everything was so sudden. She was not her usual self anymore, tubes and needles, supporting system were all over her. Her eyes were closed, breathing was difficult, body were not moving, only seems to be nodding her head when we greeted her. 2 days after ICU, we were informed that she cannot pull through anymore. The tubes will be removed, supporting system will be switched off. Their families may have their last words to her. She can only hear but not able to response. We were told that tears flow from Aunt's eyes. She had moved to another paradise.

Life is so fragile, once you lost it, its lost forever. I truly believe do or say what you want to your loved ones. You may hear the last words to you on your death bed, but you are not able to give them your last words before you go. Cherish your every second. Life is precious.

I wish Aunt rest in peace, may she be happy in her world of paradise.

Moody Friday

What a moody friday. I thought i am suppose to be happy receiving the weekend, but no, i can't find that feeling right now, why uh? I guess perhaps it's due to work again. Have 1 or 2 seminars to settle, 1 programme to arrange. Doesn't seems alot but after all the events, i would need to clear the shits. It can be interesting working on events but there are too many adhoc things to consider. Getting course outline from lecturers, applying subsidy from company, sending out flyers, receiving applications, getting notes from lecturers, printing of notes for participants, booking of venue, catering, informing students on change of venue, compiling attendance list, receive payment, reimburse subsidy, printing of certificates, send for signatory and finally send out to participants. phew..interesting job but this is not the only jobscope, have to work concurrently with other task given. Sigh...

I woke up at 5.30am today, all mind thinking about the work i need to do today while lying on the bed. GoSh, Grandpa Zhou doesn't allow me to play chess with him until my alarm sounds. Luckily i slept at 11pm day before, else i would be in my dreamland while blogging here, hehe...

Hmm..i miss my primary and secondary school days. No $ worries, no family worries, no work worries, everything went just so smoothly during the school days. No wonder our parents always tell us that school life is always the best, we should be happy and glad that we are still studying. You will only come to understand them when you are a working adult. Yes, i love my family.

Bus....

Compared to people going to town area, i may be lucky enough that i am working near my home. Just take a 15mins bus ride and i can reach my workplace. Dislike working in town area 'cos you will have to squeeze and endure the pushing from other commuters during peak hours. Not to mention about lunch hours in town area, you can hardly find a seat to satisfy your hunger. Those are the reasons why i prefer working at tuas or unpopular job locations like tuas or somewhere seems "remote" for others.

As mentioned above, i just need to take a bus to reach workplace. All the while, i took a 15mins walk to interchange to catch bus 179. For those who took buses from interchange near the bus 179 stand, you would know that the queue is never-ending. Fyi, bus 179 stand is at the very end of boon lay interchange, the queue stretches all the way to mrt station! I can't see where it ends, as i have already given up looking for my queue halfway through.

Ok fine, i'm glad hubby notice another stop near our home that i can board, bus 199 (ok, this bus in interchange too, but i always thought it takes longer hour to reach). Took 10mins walk to this bus stop, and was happy there were always seats for me. Happily tried for few days and am glad that hubby discover this stop, hehe..But my nightmare comes soon after! The bus becomes crowded whenever i board at the same timing or even earlier. Urghh..You can witness 2-3 buses passby in front of you due to the crowds in the bus. Testing my patience! Sigh..I don't mind standing in the crowd 'cos it took only 10-15mins to reach workplace but it doesnt feel comfortable especially when i have my AF or feeling weak!! Sobz.. Can we have more buses to cater for the crowds please...sobz..or rather having free shuttle buses for employee to reach their workplace, hehe..('cos my prev company cater free bus for us to pioneer sector even though the public bus stops directly outside the company only leh, hehehe..)

Well, enough of my lamenting, just wishing for an impossible here, haa..get back to work, tommorrow's friday! Jiayou !!!

I love this!

Sea Land Air

With the pairs of Land Sea Air side by side, ain't they cute? hehe..These pairs have been with us for as long as 7 years! The first pair - Koala is the first gift i bought for my hubby-then-boyfriend 7 years ago. The centre one i called it Sotong, is bought by hubby before we dated, and the last pair - Owl we bought it together to make it a complete set of Sea Land Air. These pairs have been shifted from one car to another since hubby bought his first car. From Singapore Nissan, to France Peugeot, Honda, Nissan again and lastly back to Singapore Hyundai. They followed every car we changed and own, haha..However, the 3 pairs are currently residing in our home 'cos we've sold away our car 1-2 weeks ago. They are like pairs of guardian angels witnessing our relationship and ensuring us a safe journey throughout. We will definitely display them on the dashboard again if we have the chance. Cheers! v(^_^

Duhh...

After all the hassle of going for the PO after the ITQ, getting the correct account for the overseas advertising and CCO approval, NOW school wants to cancel the advertisement due to poor response in earlier intake. Duhz..See, what is the exact procedure? If you are not advertising the advertisement, you should not have approve the ITQ earlier, that saves all the trouble for me going to different department personally for the signatory due to the urgency of the ad. Given up...if not for my character, i would have blow my top.

But i am actually happier that there won't be anymore overseas advertisement. That means i don't have to process the next step and repeat the procedures. Thank God! I should go home and pray to my God...

Finally it's Thursday, i'm going back home now. Only weekends makes my day, haahaa..
