What A Bliss..

My dentist said he’ll be away for 10 days starting from 18th of Feb. I wondered where he went and out of curiosity I asked if he is going back to his hometown at Hatyai. He said no! He is going for a vacation and asked me to guess where he is going. I guessed many common travel places and he added that I won’t be able to guess where he is going for holiday!

Indeed I couldn’t guess! He is going to Middle East, Turkey!!! I have never heard of any of my friends going there and what a surprise. I hope he enjoys this holiday with his family as he really deserve it, working 7 days a week!

What would I miss in my current company? I think the thing that I would miss most is the environment and colleagues! I have many colleagues here and I got along well with quite a number of them! I have developed good friendship with some and it would be sad to leave them behind. Another would be the great working environment here with fast pc, free flow of drinks, office location, many events and benefit!

Well, in life, when we gain something, we would lose something! A basic principle that WL taught me many years ago! I shall look forward for my new life and cherish it!

I had my first farewell lunch at Nando’s with my department-mates today in this company. I remembered when I was leaving for the past 2 companies, I hardly have anyone farewell for me as the two are small companies.

My first company left barely few colleagues and I am the last one to leave in my second company! Can you believe that! Such a sad situation eh? Anyway, I have at least 3 farewell lunches here. Or maybe more to come!

I heard of a few other colleagues that are resigning lately! Four of them are going to a company in Cyberjaya with very good benefits, shorter working hours, free lunch and even parking & transport allowance! Gee.. I am tempted too but the thing is my house a little too far from the company! Maybe when I can drive well and have my car back, I could consider the company!

But meanwhile, maybe not all the grass over is greener! I need to stay more positive and loyal?

Today I spent the entire morning viewing the pictures and videos from the annual dinner last Saturday. So many people took many pics as well as videos! In the end, there are thousands of pics and videos for me to filter and copy! I also watched some of the performances that I missed when I was getting ready and putting on makeup!

Sometimes viewing and organising pictures could be quite tiring,don’t you agree? That’s why sometimes I stopped myself from taking too many pictures!

Feeling so hungry now. I only have 4 pieces of super-fibre-biscuit with Nescafe for my breakfast. And after that I had a small bowl of black gluten rice with sweet potatoes that my roomie cooked.

It is half past one now and Sam is buying lunch for us. During the weekends, my meals are not proper and I always tend to eat unhealthy food as I am lazy to cook. It is not healthy and I could feel that I am getting more and more skinny!

My friend thought that I am skipping meals to buy a new camcorder. But well, I am just lazy to cook and to pack on my own. I hope someone will just prepare my meals for me everyday!

Guess what I got for my annual dinner door gift? It is nothing small and handy but it’s big and long! Everyone gets one and I think its rather odd to have it as door gift but it is very practical and useful. So I got nothing to complain.

It’s a long umbrella! Yeah, fancy that for a door gift, that come a long with some orchids for you to put around your neck! It reminds me of my university year as we also get a long umbrella which I used throughout the 4 years there. The colour is almost similar, maroon colour.

Just what I need as I don’t have my own long umbrella!

After a long wait, the Isetan presales was finally here last weekend. I’ve been waiting for it to do my much-awaited-shopping! As usual, my colleague and I skipped lunch to have more shopping time.

I think this time we were there pretty early, thus it wasn’t very crowded; except for the ladies department where you have to queue a little for the cashier and changing rooms. Apart from that, I think it was quite a pleasant one as I managed to get some chicken essence and CNY cookies. I also saw my agent there and before she started to talk about term life insurance, I quickly escape! I hope she didn’t spot me in the crowd!

It’s been quite sometimes since I go back to my hometown and I seriously miss it! Though I’ll only be back two days, I have my weekend plans lined up.

Meeting up with my dear friend for tea and catch up with her new update. I suspect she got something important to share with me! I am also going to choose a new tv stand with my parents for the family room. Not to forget some serious shopping in preparation for the coming festival!

Not much time to prepare and get ready this year. but then again, I felt the same every single years! Shouldn’t they put CNY somewhere in March or April so we can have more time? No?

A colleague of mine thinks that I have some issues with my financial management. He said I ought to keep track of my monthly expenses and know exactly where my money goes each month. He even suggested that I should get health savings account.

Geez.. he said he’ll send me some information on financial management and send me his financial excel file that would help me keep track of my expenses so that I could manage better.

Sigh, is he a little too helpful or am I being ungrateful?
