Hubby terminated

For the past two days since I'm back at work, there seems to be a change in my working hours. Unofficially and unpaid, I was in the office till 7plus. Reasoned as I have to learn how to manage the office since my manager will be holidaying in Africa next week. Seriously there haven't been anything worth my time. We were just bonding and she came up with A (everyday-it-gets-longer) TO DO LIST. The management gave her a lot of pressure to cut cost so I MUST help her manage her stress level. IF that is the actual purpose so what eh..Powerpuff Yann to the rescue!? We were reminded to stretch our abilities to the max and perform our best. Apparently, due to insufficient manpower, we dealt with even more overheads.
I suggested to take stats and make my branch do without the extended hours which we are paid overtime. Hopefully it works. =P Recession affects everyone. Being in the front line and hearing so much of financial problems from my customers, I feel that stability means so much to me. I really do not wish to be without a job that pays my bills. Talk about retrenchment is no joking matter. What does being employed means to you? To me, it makes sense that people work to earn a living. Quoted by a customer,"You want to live, you work till you die!" Unless you are being provided for, I suppose. Just when we think that times are bad, do count our blessings! I'm sure there will be better times ahead.
I looked through my contacts in the cobwebbed multiply account. I knew everyone except Ahgu Gu. I stared and sweared at our relationship status. "ahgu gu is your husband Singapore , Singapore" How on earth did I even accept his add or not realise our married life in multiply? I do not want to be associated with such a dumb name! I tried to do a change. It shows "Please choose your new relationship. ahgu gu will receive a message describing your change and asking for confirmation. Your change will not take effect in our system unless confirmed." This is crazy. I deleted my account. 'nuff said..

homely Sat

Awoken this morning by my family's excitement of wanting to go Sembawang with the rest of my cousins and families. My decision, not to follow them ended up with an almost at home all day. Out near noon to collect a book reservation and grab lunch. The rest of the day was spent hanging on the phone line with Phil who is home all day too cos of his sore foot. I feel so free not knowing how else to occupy myself.

Now that i need not study anymore since the last paper last evening marks the start of my school holidays. This term break seems to be something worth looking forward to. Will chill and look forward to my results on 22Nd Dec. Hopefully I'm blessed again not having to take any supp papers. Did my best despite the usual mental blocks when i attended to the questions. Like what Ian said in my c-box , the results will show how I fared. Will be back to work on Monday. The week went by fast while I was busy preparing myself for the exams, thou whilst doing so, I managed to watch Body Of Lies. =P Hoping for a fine Sunday since Ophelia and I made plans to embark on another cam-whoring adventure in that little island I belong.

Got a call from an ex-classmate on Friday who started his conversation by asking if I have migrated to Singapore since I'm his Uniquely Ubinian friend. =P It made me laugh cos I actually answered I became a Singaporean when I turned 21! It has been 10 freaking years since secondary school days I last spoke to him and it's weird he called to ask if I knew what time does the money changer opens till. Since when did I turn into some kind of information counter?? .. Now back to my reads..

boohoo

Done with HRM paper which got me f***** Apparently it felt like the revision lecture went terribly wrong! Seriously both Hiddy and I tried our best to go thru past papers, read up on our notes and paid more attention on the so called tips.. I think i'm 18/20 certainly right for MCQs and the rest of my 80% are no-kidding-me crap!!! I wrote and scribbled nonsense literally. Checked on how my overall will be assessed this morning before breakfast. I was so bothered about how the paper was. It states 30% from my project assignment. 70% from the unfortunate paper. Hiddy suggested we go into the White Tigers' enclosure. If you guys do get updated news about the recent tragedy in the zoo,you'd know how suicidal Hiddy was. I was telling (grumbling non-stop rather) Phil that he'd throw us on the roads instead but make sure no traffic! hehe I want to have time and opportunity to get cold feet and get the hell outta traffic. Like the late cleaner, he didn't have the chance to live even when he fought his regret. I assumed he was suicidal based on the initial reports. Come on.. who in the right state of mind would go near the tigers who can jump 10m?? i was at the zoo late last month and i remember making fun of the distance the tigers are capable to jump, in comparison with my miserable long jump results. Nevertheless, my condolences to his family who got to see the video clip on the horrid last moments, which supposedly would be a closure for them.

love

For the past month, despite the madness of getting my projects done, i really had fun! Thanks to the lovely company which I'm privileged to have. They include the lovely animals, zombies, bats, witch, pumpkins in the night safari, more animals in the zoo, art exhibits in the museum, my two lovely members for the website project, of cos my beloved family members who put up with my cranky mood swings and not forgetting, my man who gets the ultimate nonsense from me when anything else upset me. oh yes.. I received a lovely present from bf for our anniversary. One more week to exams. I'm having a lot of fun learning and practicing my Accounts which is also enjoyable now that i understood the topics and clarified almost every doubts with a really helpful classmate who coached me after lecture last night. I'm gonna do my best and look forward to lots of fun after the papers. Don't we all love holidays?? I'm working towards a new career goal and my student has already left the company. Nevertheless, I'm still feeling very blessed and i do have a feeling that everything will turn out well! Till my next update, keep stress bugs away and may joy be with us always!

their send off

up at 5.30am this morning to get ready to head to Uncle's place early. He and his wife are leaving us to perform Haj. It had been an emotional Sunday. For Mama, especially. Uncle has been seeking forgiveness from her. He has always been my joker uncle who never fails to crack us up with jokes, lame ones included. Yesterday while in school, they had a gathering at his place. I was told he shared the truth about how much Mama sacrificed for family and his regret. This morning he spoke to his beloved nieces and nephews again, reminding us to perform our prayers, be filial to parents and how bad he was before which he is very thankful that Allah has given him a chance to repent and God's willing, he'd be back again to talk to us. Everyone were in tears. We took a few pictures. I shall upload one.





The airport was pretty crowded. Since this is the first batch, there were reporters and photographers. At this very moment, my two proud sisters are freaking happy THEY ARE ON TV! hahaha ok la me included was there...... in my tudung,so chances are hardly anyone'd know it's me lol so hell.. My eyes were puffy. Lucky it's just a quick snapshot in the news. Saw a clear one on my Uncle. I miss him already. Though we seldom meet, he is after all Mama's only brother. Insyallah Mak Esah and Bapak Enal dapat menunaikan ibadah Haji mereka dengan sempurna. Amin.
