Miss. Neat & Organized VS Miss. Messy & Lazy

[ 林俊杰 & 金莎 ] 被风吹过的夏天

What a happening and tiring week... and thank goodness it's finally weekend!!! ...I need to start learning meditation soon... to relax the body and mind!

Our company has been restructuring the past weeks and the renovation has completed during last weekend... We all came on Wednesday in casual comfy clothing because we had to move into our own Team... I am in "The Nitro" North Team... Hohohoo... I am quite happy to be in the North Team because those people that I found it hard to work with are in either South or West team... *Hiak Hiak Hiak*...

Anyway, I was busy cleaning up my South Jobs (that I have been working on for the past 6months) to have them ready to pass it on to South Team... In the mean time, I have to start follow up with the North Jobs which is yet to hand over to me next week... It's hard enough to take over jobs that I am not familiar with... and it is even more frustrating to find out that particular someone (who have been working on North jobs) is so unorganized and she doesn't journal things that she's done on the system (so I have no idea what she has done, and what she hasn't!!).... I get frustrated when I have to take over messy stuffs... #@$@$%...

Talking about messy... my only supporting admin (who will do all the paperworks) is a very very messy girl... Her desk is forever messy (papers can pile up here and there and I don't know how she could work in such a messy desk)... Anyway, the past few days I have picked up so many missing documents in the file that she's been doing... She has never improved the past 2yrs... and I find it hard to have her supporting me because I am such a neat and organized freak and when I told her nicely that some documents are not in the file (cos she forgot to photocopy them, or photocopy not enough copies), she'd become sooo damn defensive (she used to slam the files loudly on the desk and stormed off to photocopy more documents for me)... =/...

Seriously, to those people who always find short-cuts, who is not responsible, who is lazy and messy and not organized and ended up not able to perform their job well... Do they really not knowing they haven't done things correctly?? ...Doesn't conscience catching up with them at all? ...

Anyway, enough of that... Gotta relax and enjoy my weekend for not doing anything!!!!

Food Food Food...

[ howl j ] perhaps love

I think I'm craving for all the unhealthy food again... like KFC's crispy skin... Hungry Jack's juicy burger... rich creamy sauce pasta... pizza full of salty anchovy & olives... hot and spicy kimchi... tasty fries... chili lobsters or crabs... and everything that is very rich and tasty...

So far I'm still trying to be healthy conscious, but it's darn hard... Imagine a week of eating tasteless food or congee (due to haven't been feeling well for the past week)... Anything that's salty and spicy would excite me... The thought of those food already makes my drool now...

I don't think I could ever give up food just to lose a few kilos... It's terribly hard to give up food for health (but I'll TRY my best now... very very hard!!)...

Anyway, this morning I was looking forward to lunch time cos I felt like eating something else (other than my packed lunch)... and when I finally bought something from a take-away shop that I thought I might enjoy... it didn't taste ANY closer to what I had imagined it would taste like... Perhaps I expected too much and I craved too much for great food that I was so disappointed when it wasn't even that nice at all... URGH!!! ...

I can't tolerate food that is not nice... We shall only eat those food that we enjoy eating... especially having a meal now would only means that we have one less meal in this world to enjoy... heeeeeee...

[宮] 野蛮王妃

[ howl j ] perhaps love

I have just finished watching this Korean drama called "宮"...

All the background & deco are so beautiful... All the fancy dresses and outfits are so pretty... and of course, all the casts are so lovely and beautiful...

I wish the original casts would make a sequal...
Can't get enough of it... muahahahahhaha...

Mobile phone calls or SMS?

[ moulin rouge ost ] el tango de roxanne

Do you prefer phone call or sms?
I personally prefer SMS especially when there's nothing that urgent...

When there's nothing urgent... I guess an SMS would be more appropriate due to we'd never know if the other party were available to pick up your call or not... At least an SMS would seems more appropriate especially if you wanna respect their privacy... That's what I thought anyway...

Sometimes my phone would ring at the wrong time... and they would ring again an hour later when they didn't hear from me... Would it be that hard to even send me an SMS if it was that urgent which they had to call back an hour later? ...Am I obliged to return a phone call just because I had a missed call?

I guess I'm a little weird in some ways because I think constantly calling people's mobile phone and not leaving any SMS or msg was rude...

If you truly care, leave an SMS because there's time when I am not feeling too well to pick up the phone...

What Are You Allergic To?

[ gwen stefani ] wind it up

My god-son Brandon has just turned 1year old end of last month and he always had a bit of rashes every time I saw him... (*ahem*! ...I probably shouldn't be using "every time" cos I have only seen him twice actually... =( ...Hmmm... Would really love to fly to Sydney more often though... Will surely do so when I feel better =)) ...

Anyway, the parents took Little Brandon to see a specialist and they found out that he is allergic to cow's milk, high allergy towards egg white, mild allergy towards soy, fish and nuts... OMG!!! ... How many allergies a baby could have or take?? ...Poor Baby... Anyway, he is now drinking special milk formula and really strict diet... so that he could grow faster, grow stronger, become more cute and adorable when I see him the next time... =))

I'll have to give up eating Nuts before I see Brandon... cos according to the doctor, nuts particle might get to him and cause a reaction? ...I have always love Crunchy Peanuts and Peanut Butter... I could eat spoonsssss-ful of Peanut butter when I watch TV or when I feel like having a munch... Anyway, I'll make sure I give up peanuts before I fly to Sydney next time... heeeeee =)

So, what are you allergic to? ...Any?

I am allergic to people who winged and complains a lot...
I am allergic to people who is "popo-mama" and long-winded...

News That Came Early & Unexpected

[ 金莎 ] 不可思议

: : Tuesday : :
It was surprisingly peaceful in the office today... not as bad as I expected (as per my previous blog)... all of us felt a little weird because the tension was absolutely in the air, but there wasn't any cat & dog fights at all... the whole day was quiet and there wasn't anything to talk/gossip about (for us to kill some time?)... My manager had several talks in his office with my team leader but they didn't raise their voices (hence we couldn't hear anything that we could talk about) even the door wasn't closed (normally if anything serious, my manager will close the door)... hehe... no juicy gossips, no spicy fights, no banging doors, no nothing the whole day... Awkwardly peaceful...

During lunch time I received a phone call...
I stared at the monitor for hours due to the unexpected news...
I became very positive again only when I was on my way home...
Maybe there was still hope cos he said "possible"... it wasn't definite, yet...

: : Wednesday : :
Work, work and work... Work occupied my whole day and my mind...
Maybe I was actually in denial... I was going to make a few phone calls but works kept coming in and I didn't get the chance to use my manager's office to use his phone to make a few private phone calls...

Reached home and received a letter which they had booked me in for an appointment on coming Friday... Efficient... In a way, I felt better for I get to find out more pretty soon... On the other hand, having them booked me in for an appointment so soon seemed serious... Anyway, I didn't really worry too much cos there's no reason why I should be worried when I know nothing yet...

: : Thursday : :
My team leader emailed me to express how relief and how good she felt now that she has sorted things out with my manager... Well, that's a good thing... but there's still tension in our office as the other girls still alienated my team leader... It's funny because they were previously complained about my manager, and now they turned against my team leader when my manger is back...

This is the reason why I didn't like to get involved in any office politics nor any problems in the office... because I will never know how the wind blows or when the wave turns...

: : Friday : :
I waited for an hour before my name was called (the appointment)... He told me they wrongly booked me in... but I found out the "definite" result from him... I drove around in the city aimlessly wondering what I should I have for lunch... Subway? ...Salad? ...or shall I even call my manager and take the whole day off? ...What should I do if I don't go to work? ...

I decided to go back to work... I bought Chicken Caesar Salad for lunch... It was terribly busy at work because we had to prepare contract for the first time (due to the lady who usually prepared contract was away)...

I wasn't that happy with my colleague cos she asked me to sit for the Contract Training last time together because she wanted me to back her up if she missed out any details... and now she just dragged me and wanted me to prepare contract WITH her... I wasn't meant to do any Contract at all... Damn it!! ...

After work, met up with Andy, Kevin and Kelvin... Why on earth there's so many people like the name -- "Kevin" & "Kelvin"? ... I think I have met so many Kevin and Kelvin in my life it's not even funny at all... Anyway, we went to Jade Restaurant for dinner... and The Coffee House at Chapel Street for coffee... I was very worn out by the time I reached home at 11pm... Sooooooo tired...

It's probably a good thing that I was that tired... cos I slept well...
It's probably a good thing that I had a busy Friday after the definite news...

Back To War-Zone

[ 張學友 ] 但愿人长久

: : Saturday : :
Had steamboat at one of my ex-colleague's place... Having steamboat during cold winter is the best! ...Lotsa food, lotsa laughters and the night seemed quite short... Anyway, I was feeling quite tired and all I did was eat and eat and eat... hehehe...

: : Sunday : :
Brother and Winnie came by for dinner... Brother always had this impression about "Apocalypto" is similar to "Passion of Christ" (because they were both directed by Mel Gibson) and he refused to give it a try... So I took the chance and played that movie and sorta forced them to watch it... HAH!!! ...I think if it wasn't because it was getting late, they would probably stayed and watch the whole movie here... *muahahhaha*... Anyway, he took the movie home and I'll find out if he is Jaguar Paw's fan soon... =P

: : Monday : :
Spent the day watching a few Korean and Cantonese series (since today is Public Holiday - Queen's Birthday)... Time passes by so fast hey?! ...My long weekend has came to an end... and I'm stressed about going back to work tomorrow... Why? ...because my department is now a war-zone... There's so many things going on and it involves my manager, my team leader, and one of my colleague...

Well, to make things short, my manager had been away the past 5 weeks for Jury Duty... and my team leader probably crossed the line by trying to get higher managers to "warn" one of my colleague but things got a little ugly and my colleague is now leaving our Dept...

My manager came back to work on last Friday seeing our Dept has fallen apart and he was pretty upset to learn about what my team leader has done... and my team leader was sick on Friday (coincidently) and so was one of the higher managers... My manager was told by another higher manager that he is not allowed to talk to us on Friday regarding the matters until they came back on Tuesday... So it'll be quite a day tomorrow... =/

I hope I'd be able to stay out of all this... cos I know my manager wants to speak to me on Friday but I managed to sorta get away with it... Hmmm... Will I manage to escape tomorrow? ... =/

楊宗緯 VS 蕭敬騰

[ 萬芳 ] 新不了情

Lately I've been watching this Taiwanese program called "
超級星光大道" religiously... and this is one of the best episode... I like both their versions of this beautiful song... I think 蕭敬騰 (1st singer) is great cos he made that song his very own version (and that's quite hard to do)...


A Taiwanese Program called "康熙來了" had 蕭敬騰
as their guest...

Yummy Doc

[ thirsty merc ] 20 good reasons

I'm not sure about other places, but I reckon in Melbourne, most of the anesthesia doctors are so darn handsome and cute and cool and oh-so-my-type!!! ...

Today I had bronchoscopy done... I wasn't too nervous about it actually... not until the anesthesia doctor brought me to a room to explain to me the anesthetic procedure...

OMG!! He is soooooooooooooooo good looking!!! ...He has this very cool surgery hat sorta covered his clean shaved head (hehehe... I always have a thing for guys who looks cool in shaved head)... anyway, most of the other nurses or doctors there were wearing the standard blue surgery hat, except my anesthesia doctor... his surgery hat looks quite simple yet stylish and colorful... (It tells me that he is not the nerdy type of doctor, nor overly funky too.)

Ok, so he made a few jokes and made me relaxed a little, and I told him I started to get a little nervous... He then assured me that after he injected the drug, he will hold my hand during the whole procedures to make sure that I'll be fine... (Owwww... So sweet neh!!!!)...

At that time I had already changed to the hospital gown (yup just stripped down to my own socks & undies and covered with the hospital gown)... He was so observant... cos he spotted my tattoo (which only exposed just 0.5cm off my socks cos I think I stupidly pulled my white socks up way too high off my ankle, and I surely look so nerdy and funny!!!)...

So when he excitedly asked about my tattoo, I smiled and looked down, and saw how daggy I looked in those white socks which being pulled so high up... and noticed that I didn't apply any lotions on my legs today and my dried skin were all exposed and I could see some HAIRS on my legs too!? ...OMG!!!! ... I was so embarrassed!!! ...cos if he could spot that tiny bit of tattoo which was 95% covered by the socks... he surely could see my HAIRS and dried skin... HOW EMBARRASSING!!!! ...*faint*

Anyway, when they finally call me in to the theater... He was still so attentive to me, and made a few jokes that made everyone laughed too... He cheekily asked if he could see my tattoo... So I let him and he asked a few questions about tattoos as if he was also interested to get one as well... hehehe... Ain't he lovely??? ...

Well, I wanted to think that he was there holding my hand when I passed out... hehehhe... but I didn't get to see him after I woke up... and that's my 3hrs "crush" on my anesthesia doctors today... *muahahahhaha*

A Dream

[ edith piaf ] la vie en rose

It's been 4 days or nearly 5 days...
It's such a long time living the days without knowing what's the meaning of "living"...

I dreamt of something beautiful today...
How I wished that dream would come true and exist...

There was bread shop next door, there was noodle shop next door, there was dessert shop next door, and there was this sticky rice stall and night market hawker food stalls two blocks away (just like how I remembered those stalls from KL)...

We had a great time and walked back all the way in the middle of the night... It was dark but I wasn't afraid... It was cold, but I wasn't shivering... There were many $5 on the road side (some hanging from trees and on the roadside) that people couldn't be bothered to stop aside and pick it up...

We were happy... There were trust and believes... There were smiles and happiness... There were love and warmth... The sense of security and the feeling of "knowing"... Knowing that is "it"...

I hope I'd remember that feeling and the background settings in that dream... I hope I'd still feel that way when I remember this dream someday.... cos it's really like a little paradise to me... I know as time goes by, I will forget about having this dream and being there feeling like this... but now I just wanna crawl back to my bed, and feel that dream again...
