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.
