Trouble at work .....
"Don't let your girl get to close to the xxx guys" warned my supervisor said xxx (actual name of the user has been withhold to protect the identity of the user)This was what I got this morning from one of the users. She mentioned that her supervisors highlighted that they observed that some of the counter users are a bit 'too' friendly with us. I was not surprised at all by this news. Why? Some people just can't handle over friendliness ;p (kidding)
I did warn my colleagues, leave the users to do their stuffs. If they got problem, go to their respective supervisors don't help them on every single thing. On the other hand, my boss kept wanting us to provide the best support we can give. I guess it's hard to give the best support yet maintaining a not so friendly attitude towards users for some. Sigh.... just hope we will get out of the place soon and let this issue subside with our departure.
Tomorrow is Kiat's ROM. Used to be just the 2 of us, single bachelors, going for weekend swims. Looks like I just have to go swim alone these day... Wait! I have been swimming alone these days :-(
Congratulations to him for FINALLY found someone who wants to settle down with him... wahahaha... oops.. evil me ;p My sincere well wishes to him.... for surrendering his freedom.
好久不见。。。
Again.. I met someone I know at work today. This time round was my poly classmate. She's here to bring her second child to see a doctor. Again the same question asked "married? attached?" How come 来来去去 the same old questions. aaarrrggghhh..... Why can't they come up with something else.
I boarded a non aircon bus on my way to class this evening. I don't know was it due to the fact that aircon has become Singaporeans daily lives or non aircon bus don't seems to exist anymore that made me felt weird taking the non aircon bus. Not that I need the aircon but it's just seems so distance to me, like something I would experience when I am still in my secondary school days.
Oh well... maybe I am just getting old ;p Time to sleep and tomorrow will be a better day ;)
立伟 ？？。。。。
I met my secondary school crush at work today. She's there with her 3rd daughter, yes THIRD. Time really flies, those were the days when I will go to school early, stayed back late, just to be on the same bus with her since both of us stays in the west. She knows that I fancy her but as what it has always happened to me... those I fancy don't fancy me :-( besides my friend was interested in her then so..... it was just a crush. An innocent crush between school children :p Come to think of it, I don't know what attracted me so much about her. Anyway, 往事只能回味。
We chat for an hour while her husband waits for their number and her cute daughter runs around the clinic making friends :p We talked about who's married, who's a parent, where she stays, how's work, how's life, gossips etc. Mostly things you would talked about when you met an old schoolmate.
She's asking why am I still single etc etc... I don't seems to be able to avoid this question :-(
Everyone seems surprised that I am still single. Frankly speaking, it's not my choice ;) but
why rush?
Happy Father's Day
Today is Father's Day and for some reasons, Father's Day don't seems to be as widely celebrated as compared to Mother's Day as least I speaks for my family :p
Since it's Father's Day, I shall dedicate this blog to him. He is a good father and a good husband which I really can learn from. He never really shouts at my mum even though my mum always nags and complains about him. Everytime, they argue (I don't think they even really quarrelled) my dad will use the 'keeps quiet and walks away' approach. To me, it's a good approach. 2 person in the heat of an argument will blurt out things that can be very hurtful to each other so the best way is to go away and cool down first. Everytime it works because after a couple of 'cold war' days, I will see my dad fetching my mum to the market or my aunt's place in Malaysia etc Since I was born, my dad has always been playing the 'good' guy role who hardly nags at us while my mum's the punisher. Once in a while, he will give us 'lectures' on what's good and what's bad in life.
Another good example set by my dad is that he don't smokes, drinks beer occasionally and don't gamble (if 4D, ToTo and Big Sweep is not counted) until recently I introduce mahjong to him but then it's only leisure gambling with my relatives.
One thing sad about my dad is the fact that he is never good with money and planning his career. He started he career in construction back in the 1970s where the construction industry was blooming in Singapore. If he had planned and expand his business right, I might have to take over his business now instead of waiting for my paycheck every month. Nevertheless, I am not complaining because not all the things in life are so smooth sailing. Who knows what I might have become if I'm born with a silver spoon.
Missed those days when I will challenge my dad to a game of Chinese chess and he will give me the advantage of having a 'Pao' (cannon) less on the chess board and those days when he will bring us to watch the latest Jackie Chan movies in a drive through cinema.
Nowadays, I don't challenge him to a game of chess anymore, in fact I don't even know if I still remembers how to play Chinese chess. How many of us are guilty of taking our father for granted? Have you have a good chat with your dad recently?
Since my dad is a durian lover, as a Father's gift, we get him some durians today. Hope he like it. Besides that, I like to say a BIG thank you to my father for setting a good example for me to follow (eeerr... Hope I can do better on the career part) and you are the greatest dad I have seen.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.
Friday night out
Last night went suck on one of these things at Kazbar. Didn't expect so many people to turn up for this event that I didn't really organise. I just posted it up a forum and ended up with around 20 people showed up when I only reserved a table for 10. Felt so bad that some have to end up standing for most of the night. Being the so called 'organiser' for this event, I was shamefully late. It wasn't my fault, stupid system have to 'sabo' me at 6pm and went dead so end up I have to write a report before I can call it a day.
Anyway, finally made it for the event at around 8.30pm. Settle in and got myself a pint of Hoegaarden. Though the seats have changed but the price of the Hoegaarden remains at $10 a pint during happy hours. A value for money drink especially on a Friday night when you need a cooling drink.
Went supper at Lao Pa Sat after that with some of the remaining guys and heads home after that. I must say the bear eats anything judging on the way he slurps on the cockles without even needing the chilli sauce. How can anyone find that 'bloody' dish tasty.
Its a bright shining Saturday today. Maybe I should go for a swim and work on my school assignments.
Pissed!
yet another day at the client's place.
Check the price on Australian Air to Bali in Aug once I reach the client's place and to my horror, the price jumped from 270 to 1430! Anyway, I asked my RO if I can take leave, she said okay initally but then realised that in Aug, our taiji master going to give birth and the temp staff starting school, so we are 2 staffs down and I can't take leave liao. DAMN! Bali dive trip on delay yet again... wonder when will I ever get to go Bali.
Today, something a patient mentioned pissed me off.
"wait to see doctor is okay, waiting to pay is not accetable" What a groundless claim! I wonder where's his common sense. If HE have to wait for an hour to see HIS doctor and there are at least 4 other doctors seeing their patients, what make him so special that HE can make payment immediately after he is done with his doctor? Not forgetting that these same number of patients will spend a certain amount of time 'bargaining' with the counter staff on their next appointment. aarrrgghhh...
Went Sim Lim Square after work but nothing to buy but asked the price for Olympus E300 digital SLR camera. So tempted to get it... should I go get it at Harvey Norman and pay via installment? Damn! I can't be spending like this... bad bad!!
Missed Underwater Hockey tonight. Actually feel like going but I think I better let the bruises I collected last Friday heal first before I collect more. Will miss this Friday's game due to an outing at Kazbar. Have not been to that place for sometimes liao. Hope the belly dancer is prettier this time round ;p
Mr and Mrs Smith
Watched the movie today at Plaza Singapore before heading to Rice Table for Agung's belated birthday dinner. I like it! Not only because Angelina Jolie is in it but also the actions mixed with comedy plot. I think there's some 'interesting' part being censored :_( IF I am Brad Pitt, I will give up Jennifer Aniston. Who can resist Angelina Jolie?
We went for a drinks at Que (how you pronounce this word?) Pasa. Had a bottle of white, I must say the wine there are good and comes with a reasonable price tag. At 10+, we decided to call it a day and head home. Guess the fact that we have to work the next day kills the mood to party till late.
Can't remember
I thought of something to blog even the title but now after I log in... I can't remember what should I blog about. Hope this has got nothing to do with the increasing number of candles on my birthday cake.
Anyway, I was woken up unwillingly by noise from under my block this morning. It's Total Defence! and there were exhibits and demonstration of how Civil Defence personnel handle terrorist chemical attack. The siren of the police car, fire engine and ambulance all sounded at the same time sure can bring the house down plus the person with the mike shouting away... DAMN! There goes my Sunday morning's waking up late policy.
A bloody hot day again so I went for a swim and enjoyed the sun.
