Weekend Coming

It’s Thursday now, nearing the weekend again. Whoahaha… excellent! Genting tomorrow, another weekend getaway *whistle*. I have been writing this week, till I have nothing more to update now. Hehe.. Saw the new show on the posters outside the cinema – ‘Shoot ‘em Up’. Not sure if I have spelled it correctly, wanted to watch that yesterday but the timing is too late. This seems like the only good show worth watching these days. We went to the arcade, couldn’t find my favorite ‘photohunt’ game, he ended up wasting $3 on Pooh watching. It’s such a con machine, the grabber is so loose that they couldn’t even hold the Pooh. Wanted to get one cute one wearing pyjamas in Mini Toons, he says get it another time. He didn’t like so many toys in the car (have had Foony there already, but I can’t get to hold it cos he laid his arms on it when he drives).

We wanted to get a globe (3D puzzles) to put into his display shelf, but he thinks it’s too expensive being such a small one costing $60+. I told him I’ll buy for him but he put it on hold. We get that the next time I guess. We still have another 3 x 500 pieces puzzles (lousy quality, just finished one) back home. We need to fix these before we will buy the original 1000 pieces Pooh. I guess another few months to go. We have been staying back home on Sunday just to do the puzzles while watching TV.

We went to the steamboat place for dinner, $15 nett each. It was really not that fantastic but I just love to drink soup. But seriously, I would rather buy my own steamboat with all the ingredients I like plus the packet chicken soup, MINUS the work and trouble. Hehe… actually, I didn’t mind the work also, like the feeling that everyone in the family or maybe just the 2 of us, get together to eat steamboat. I was bloated, I think I must have taken about 8 bowls of soup (Tom Yam & Chicken) and a glass of bland lime juice. We went to Carrefour to get a bottle of lime juice and 5 bottles of Vitagen (with Collegen) as I was extremely thirsty. But we only managed to finished the bottle of lime juice and each a bottle of Vitagen.

I drove back home yesterday, the second time I drive his car. I think I’m still not used to it, I’m dangerous and I have bad judgment. I didn’t brake when a car overtakes me and I swiftly changed my lane to the right (I did check) without slowing down. And there’s a time which I did not stop in time, I did slow down and brake hard after that when I realized it’s not going to stop in time. I keep too left, should have keep in the centre, but I had a bad gauge.

I can’t park for nuts and I can’t stop near to the kerb without hitting it, I had bad judgment, can’t gauge well if I’m able to squeeze through the allocated space. Women is already bad driver (I know, it’s not all) by nature and without training and familiarization with the car and road, it’s worse. I think I like much more practice than I expected myself.

We are going to go to the theme park and take the cable car this time to Genting. But still it really depends if we can win some money to cover the expenses before we have the mood to enjoy and shop. But I always enjoy our weekends get-away together. This time his colleague and his wife is joining, hope that’s not an issue.

I got a sms from a ‘tao’ friend when I work in P. He doesn’t usually contact me at all unless we meet at the pub or when he sends me home. A few times, I tried calling him (not for me but for boss), he didn’t bother to pick up, he then sms me to ask wad up. Another customer called him and he picked up the phone straight away. I find him a person too proud and weird. Why does he have to act this way, anyway not that I’m a stalker, my boss just want him to get something for her. Anyway, as I was saying, he asked for my email address, I think he have missed me slightly since he hasn’t been able to catch me in P. Well, it doesn’t matter to me anymore. I’m happily (??) attached and I do not want this unnecessary trouble now.

He has been very nice to me, but I’m training him to be better.. hehe… he wanted to get me a necklace, a mobile phone, pay for our trip to Australia etc. I don’t really need this monetary stuffs (but sometimes it’s nice to have them) as long as he’s nice to me. He gives in to me but he didn’t know when I’m angry, when to say what to make me happier, or even what to do when I’m angry.

Well, I do understand that he has not been attached ever since in army, about 20 years old. So it has been 5 years now, so got to teach him some people-people relationships and how to humor a girl when she’s angry etc.

Coffee or Cup?

Although i don't really like coffee, but this is really meaningful.

" The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect."

* A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.* Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.* Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -> porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.*

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones.* While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves,that is the source of your problems and stress.* Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.* In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.* What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... Then you began eyeing each other's cups.*

Now consider this:
- Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.
- They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the qualityof Life we live.
- Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us.
Enjoy your coffee!."

* The happiest people don't have the best of everything.* They just make the best of everything."
1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.
5. Leave the rest to God.

You are the miracle, my friend; Your life either shines a light OR casts a shadow! Shine a light & Enjoy the Coffee!!!

6th Week in Office

This is my sixth week here in my new company, 4 weeks on the floor, had like 12 files. Everyone is just so busy working on their currently load and the new system pre-work and I does feel bad that I do not have so much to do. I guess more files will come after my way soon, after the system is up and running.

Yeah! I’m going Genting again this weekend! I think this is the 4th time this year. Opps, I know, like I’m sure a gambler but no I don’t really gamble that much anyway, I’ll just stand around and watch Dear play, I’m only there to earn points. Hehe. At least this time his colleague is driving up, so we can save on the petrol.

Hmmm, should I say a business trip to KL again? It’s just not advisable to tell my parents that I’m going Genting or away and they are sure to know who I will be going with. I think I will pack my bag tomorrow and Dear to collect on Wednesday so that he can pack his stuffs in. I am still thinking if we should take the cable car and play the theme park. Cos only when you are winning, you will want to leave the Casino for some play and shopping, so we shall see how it goes.

We celebrated my brother’s birthday on Saturday, went to Vienna for buffet lunch. They serve international seafood and teppanyaki. We had the lunch for almost 3 hours, from 11.30 – 2.30pm. Mind us, we really can eat, don’t we. The food are quite good, they served a good range of seafood, prawns, crabs, scallop, oyster, baby lobster, abalone, crayfish, sushi, sashimi, soups (Buddha jumps over the wall, ginseng fish, crocodile and sharksfin), some dim sum, satay, teppanyaki, salads, cakes, ice-cream and juices. It’s quite good but buffet is always too much for us, except for my brother. It’s about $29.90+++ per person. I have asked Dear to buy the mooncake from Prima Deli before he comes to my house to pick us up. At least he has something with him when he comes visiting and not empty-handed.

We went to Ikea on Saturday to get his display shelf, which cost $259, plus $40 delivery and 5% assemble charges, turnout to be $311.95, which is not exactly cheap. It seems that he do not have extra cash for that cos he was talking about us getting our salary soon etc. so I decided to buy for him instead, since he bought us the couple watches the other day. I think my credit card will shot up this month.

I bought Raffles Hotel’s mooncake for Dear’s parent and his grandma. Actually, I also feel that there’s no need to buy for his grandma but because she is always in the shop and she often join us for dinner and spend quite a lot of time with his family, if I don’t buy for her, it’s quite embarrassing when I pass the family the mooncake. His grandma did mentioned that we are not married, so I do not need to buy these gifts and asked if my mum taught me to buy gifts. I guess I’m sensible enough at my age plus my godma did teach me these “chu si dai ren” relationships and also I’ve been working since very young, which adds on to my experience.

But I know there are certain things which I did not do it right from the start and it’s funny if I start doing this now. One will be inviting them to eat at the dinner table. I did not realized it the first time I ate with them cos everyone just eat when the food arrives, even Dear. So after a while when I realized, it’s already too late. Since then, I have not been inviting them to eat at the dinner table.

Dear do not know of all these, I guess he was not taught as well. Luckily, he does listens to me, so sometimes I did teach him what to do, or what to say and not say. There’s a time when his dad invite his relatives to eat at a restaurant for his birthday, he just took the dish when it’s his turn, he did not noticed that the dish is not sufficient for the guest and his dad turns out not eating that particular dish at all. He still argues that sure enough lah, everyone ask him to eat first etc. But he listens eventually, which is a good thing.

His parents are both busy working, on one really teach him on all these, everything he wants he gets, but at least he is still controllable, not joining the bad company and he listens. His niece is even worse, full of attitude, did not greet anyone or selective ones, do everything her own way, she will just cry, scream to get it her way. Her parents do not care at all, give in to her and this is bad, this will not help her but harm her eventually. Next time, she will grow up to be a demanding and unreasonable person and still thinks she is correct because no one corrected her when she did wrong when she’s young.

Well, this is their own family affairs which I do not think I should interfere. But I will make sure my children won’t be like this and make them aware this is wrong. His grandma was not any better, always thinks I’m the bad guy and nags a lot, regardless those were necessary or not. Hopefully it can only gets better and not worse.

My Poor Big Toe

A little kid stepped on my toe on Sunday, the impact is so great that my nail nearly came off. I didn’t know that the damage done by a kid can be so great. Anyway, what was worse was that the liquid keeps on flowing out from my big toe, it wasn’t bleeding. But the liquid turn yellowish today, I’m just afraid it will get infected. I try to exert all my strength on my right leg instead when I walk, but turn out that my right leg gets tired easily. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better otherwise Dear will bring me to the doctor already.

Dear was very nice, to fetch me from the office, willing to send me to work when I asked for it (which I did not effect that), offer to come and fetch me today after my facial and after his jog (I didn’t want to wait), and trying ways not to let me walk more by parking at the destination instead of parking nearby which we usually will.

Updates for the week - 11 Sep 07

We had a bad fight but good talk about on Tuesday, didn’t sleep till 3am and him 4am. Actually, I didn’t want to ‘fight’ about it, it’s when he asked if I ok to let his colleague used my points to booked for a room in First World, Genting. I did felt that he didn’t asked for my opinion when he just tell me via sms earlier in the day that his colleague will be joining us to Genting and asked if he could use my points to secure for a room, but it didn’t occur to me that he did not even bother to ask me if he can come along. I started to blow up when he asked if I’m ok to let his colleague used my points after he had used it to book the room.

I asked if it’s too late to ask me after he had used them. And in the first place he should check if I’m even comfortable to ask his colleague to come along together with us and also his friends. He should at least ask for my opinion since we are both going together. This is a form of disrespect for the other party, similar to the case when he holds my hand while staring hard at other women. This is definitely a no no in a relationship isn’t it?

Then I brought up the fact that he did not take note of my likes and dislikes especially when I’m angry with him, what are the things that appease me easily and what are the things that I will fumed up even more when he says or does. As he will just say the wrong thing or did not say the right thing which kept us hanging. We will just remain silence for a long while and I’m still angry or angrier. This shows how much I mean to him and the importance in his heart. There are many times/ chances where we had quarrel and he is not able to do or say something quickly to appease me, hence I felt he did not bother to take note of me.

Things that he does when I’m angry, which is a no no:

Kept quiet
Apologize in an insincere or unapologetic manner (eg. Dun get angry leh. Sorry lo, I know it’s my fault, but dun get so angry la.)
Tickle me
Huh (eg. Expect me to say something.)
Talk about other irrelevant stuff or things to divert my attention (eg. Change topic.)

He keeps saying the things he promised me, he will definitely do it, but the fact is that there are some which he did not do. He said there are improvements and he’s trying. And I told him that saying that he dotes on me all the time does not mean anything if his actions don’t shows. He cried when he said he doesn’t know he has so many weaknesses. I told him this is not really weakness but shows more on how important I am to him. After the long 4 hours call, I decided that’s enough, I tired and decided to relent. He promised (again) he will change.

He came to pick me up the next day from my office with donuts which he queued for 15 minutes. I told him only when I’m angry then I will have such privileges huh? He said he will come and fetch me everyday if I want, just pay for the ERP charges only lo. But well, maybe I wouldn’t, it’s just so expensive to work in CBD area.

My day said that they felt earthquake in the evening. He thought his eyes are playing tricks on him and my bed said the bed is shaking. I was in the movie then, around 7plus but I didn’t feel anything.

My colleague felt a slight shake again on Thursday morning, I said I did not feel anything at all, think my skin are quite thick. My director then came up to us all and announced that the senior management have decided to closed the office for the rest of the afternoon. So I ended work at 12noon yesterday. Whoaa...

I went shopping happily but sadly alone, spent more than $200 within 2 hours in Wisma and walk around for the rest of the 4 hours while waiting for him. We walked around Orchard into the expensive shops, Tiffany and Co, he wanted to get a necklace for me, but I think it’s too expensive and the designs are not really nice or fantastic. I believe for the price that we are paying, we can get some diamond necklace at those jewellery shops with better designs and cheaper as well. After 7pm, we went to City Chain at Marina Square and got the Solvil Titus couple watches which we have been looking around for a nice one for quite some time. I offered to pay for half the price but he declined. Hehe, free gift... ;-)

Anyway, today is his dad’s birthday so we are having dinner together with some of his relatives as well. I didn’t get anything, not sure what to get, but I will get a cake for him. Hopefully, all turns out well.

I asked him to go for my brother’s birthday lunch with my family next Saturday as so far, he had not join my family for meals before and hardly even comes to my place. Hence this might be a good time to see each other, know of the existence. I asked my sister to check with my day if he can comes along, my dad agrees and asked my sister if he is those stable kind. Hehe.. Since he didn't have much encounter with him, didn't know how he is. I have told him to fetch us all there to the restaurant.

He had a drinking session with his colleague next Friday, I have asked if I could go to Plasma while he’s out. Hmmm, seems like he’s not willing to let me go, he might just asked me to go with his colleagues. We shall see.
