A sms conversation... Me: XX can't send emails. Pls check if it's has anything to do with space on server cos another colleague could. No reply. Tried to call him and the line was engaged. After a while... He: Saw her email... Checking... Me: Don't call her cos it's ex! -- I was merely passing the message He: Then how? She can claim from company later right? It's the settings or her computer... Need to test out... Me: Text la! -- if not what? Write a letter?! What's next is classic.... He: Then it will prob take the whole night. I try.... Wow!!! Texting someone to solve a seemingly easy problem will take a WHOLE NIGHT!!! Me: Whole night??? That's very efficient! Me: Pls email her instead. At this point, he was calling me persistently and I simply refused to answer. Then he continued to throw me questions. He: Do you know if she's using Entourage or Outlook? -- hello?? Do I look like I'm beside her or if I'm still the ...

I believe most of us have valued friendship more so than kinship at one point of our lives. But I also believe that as one grows older, one would agree more to the saying - blood is thicker than water. Maybe not but still... Yes, most of the time, there are no or maybe I should say less strings attached when friendship is involved. Less expectations and less conflict cos you don't have to live with each other. But is it also because of that that some people does not treasure friendship as much as some of us do? Seriously, how hard is it to spend that few hours in a year to catch up with old friends? It wasn't easy for the one to coordinate/organise, to make sure everyone's schedules fit so pls, at least give that person some credits will ya? Why do I feel like I'm the only trying here? It's not like I'm hard up for friends, ha. I'm the married one so if anyone is 'busy', it should be me, no? Oh well, different priorities I guess. Anyway, the meet...

Ho Chi Minh otherwise known as Saigon is NOT the capital of Vietnam. Hanoi is. And I think a lot of people got them mixed up. I've not been to the capital but a lot of people told me it's worse than HCM so I don't think I'm ready anytime soon. This was a impromptu trip, planned 2 weeks before. Quite a number of firsts this trip... First backpack trip. I didn't think I could pull it off but I did. Pat on shoulder. Actually it's because we were going the budget way and didn't want to pay for check-in luggage, ha. Plus it doesn't make sense to bring a trolley luggage to a resort, no?  First time travelling with a colleague.  First flight experience with Vietnam Airlines and its propeller plane freaked the hell out of me. Luckily the flight from Phu Quoc to HCM was much better.  First time staying (and paid for) in a huge-ass sea-view bungalow at a luxurious resort - Chen Sea Resort.  First time to Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam's biggest island. About ...

I ought to slap myself for saying I'll not return. At least not so soon. But I'm going to HCM and Phu Quoc Island. Let there be sun! Also, I've started using sun block today. Like finally.

Soon-to-be ex-boss resigned instead and her last day is on Monday. I think it's a relief to everyone except for her pet. No more back-up so let's see what's he truly capable of. She needs a break and we clearly need one, from her. And the past week had us mostly clearing shit, rushing for the campaign that she has sat on it for a while, working late, stepping up for a bigger role and responsibility and ultimately believing that we can do it, it's worthwhile doing what we are doing. I feel the stress and am aware of the challenges and obstacles but I will bear in mind what YYBJ said, that perhaps this is my other door ... :) I will do my best to prove myself! ______________________________________________ Was hoping to end my Friday night with a little catch up over dinner, some drinks and even mahjong but Friday the 13th worked its magic for me. To you, while I may seem like the insensitive, not understanding, not accepting, conversative, judgemental and p...

I see a battle coming. And in case you blame it on the election that has sparked off our urge to oppose you, just like how you blamed it on feng shui when two of your very capable managers decided to leave; or how you would always blame on anything or anyone when shit happens, IT IS NOT. I read this from an article, that today we are not voting for the opposition but simply an alternative. But I asked myself what alternative do we have today in the company when you, behave just like the men in white and there's no WP, NSP, SDP, SPP, RP or SDA? Why is it that I've made it loud and clear not once but several times that I'm not happy with the way you distribute work and it still happens the way I do not want? Why is it that you can insist that I shouldn't say "I don't want" - do I not have any rights as an employee? What happen to "talk to me" and "I hear you" when you can't deal with the truth? To be fair to you, yes, you wer...
