IT'S A NEW DAWN; IT'S A NEW DAY

Yesterday, I tendered my resignation letter.. This is my first time by the way.. And the feeling is......unexplainable.. Somewhat peaceful, felt as though the weight on my shoulders has already been swept off.. And i can't stop laughing and smiling..

I am hoping that with me resigning from this current position, I will be more relaxed and, less like Jessica-at-work... Gonna do some changes in my life.. But couldn't think of anything yet.. To some people, New Years' are usually the time they do changes and "redecorate" their life.. I will not be those.. I want to be special.. I want to make changes and "redecorate" them whenever i choose..

But at the moment.. Haven't got any clue yet.. :)

LAU YANG YANG

I came home from work today feeling happy because it's hubby's birthday tomorrow and also because i will be on a week's leave soon... And as usual, when i am in a very good mood... She started to go crazy...

It all started when i was playing and talking with my cat (who was sitting next to me) and i was asking whether does she wants to eat fish... My mother should know very well that i was just teasing my cat... She is usually fine about me teasing my cat like this.. And sometimes she would also join in the fun.... But tonight is different... She just asked me 1 single question... Which i had ignored her because during then she sounded casual.. Like how she and i use to speak at home...

Then when she got off the couch and was heading to the kitchen, the cat jumped down from the couch and ran towards her leg and kept rubbing her while she was walking, rubbing her feet constantly with her body and nose, etc... She started to sound annoyed and kept yelling at her... Then when they were both in the kitchen, she used something heavy to scare her off by throwing it on the floor a couple of times... I was not really pissed off at that time because i knew that she won't hurt this cat.... She is her favourite...

So the cat ran towards me and slept on my leg... She was clearly very scared... But i calmed her down.... But as playful as every cat is, she walked back towards her after seeing my mother came out of the kitchen... And that is when i was in total shocked and could not believe what she had done... She back kicked the cat and it hit it's nose... The cat ran into my room and slept on my bed... I couldn't control myself and i yelled at her... In front of her husband... Even her husband could not believe what she had done... She kept blabbering saying that her leg is having those rash spots again...

FYI, she always has a panic attack whenever there are rashes on her leg or she accidentally kicked on one of the table's or chair's edges... She will keep saying the word "DIE"...

Anyways,when i was in my room with my cat, i couldn't stop crying because i felt sorry for her.... I felt her heartbreak... She looked so disappointed and sad... There was nothing much i could do other than petting her and kept telling her that i was very sorry... I even kept asking whether is she ok... Asking her to at least make a few noises to let me know that there is nothing wrong with her...

Hy.. I'm so sorry Yang Yang...

EMPTY PROMISES

Last Friday i called her to ask whether does she wants to have lunch with Esther, KC and i.. But i did not tell her where.. She just says that she's busy so she is going to have a quick one in our cafeteria.. But when we went to Serena, she's there... With her Accounts friends.. So i went up to her and sarcastically said that i did not know that Serena has already changed and became our cafeteria.. She then tried to explain and of course, why should i listen.. And i went off.. She is pissed off about it... Until today..

I always thought that she will never change after she has been transferred to Accounts Department.. But everyone asks me not to be so sure.. Well, it's true... She has changed a lot..

When she was in Accounts Department the first week, she came and promised not just me, but Esther, KC and Poon that she will assign a lunch date with us at least once a week... But that did not happen...

She promised to take Esther and i to the Korean home cook restaurant but until today, no freaking news..

She always mingle around with the Accounts team and when she saw us passing by, we are all translucent...

Curse very frequently..

Always talks dirty jokes..

The main priority always goes to Accounts Department first.. Everything has to be quick, new, super clean, spotless, flawless, etc...

I just cannot take it anymore with her empty promises and change of character...

RUNAWAY SUE

Have been feeling uncomfortable the whole day all thanks to my soar throat and cough...

I don't get sick easily... But when i am really sick, i really can't concentrate on what i am or should be doing... For instance like today... Since this morning i have no mood to work already... I just want to lay on my bed and rest... But i couldn't because Ahmad needs to go on MC and my sis @ work, Esther is on vacation with her hubby...

Usually when i am in the office, i listen to all my song collections that are being saved in Grooveshark (thank you for recommending hubby)... And today, i suddenly felt like listening to Runaway Sue... I got a little emotional while listening to it... Throughout the whole song, i have been thinking about the fun and happy times that i have had with Mr Lau when he and his friends were doing their rehearsals for their mini concert in 1992... I remembered that he brought me to their rehearsals every weekend.... I even made a few friends and learned a little bit of ballet (just messing around, really)... Remembered that i shared a packet of char siew / siew yuk rice with him... I was so naughty back then... I asked him to feed me while i was running here and there-playing the piano, drums, percussion, etc... Just anything that i could get my hands on.... I had also remembered he looked so proud when he was introducing me as his daughter during my first time meeting up his friends...

Thinking about more of those moments really made me feel sour inside... Then slowly, silly things started to come to my mind... Questions to be exact... Example, "How will i feel if he got really sick and being hospitalized?? What should i do?? What if he dies?? Will i ever forgive him???"

There are a lot of times where i really wish that i could speak to him like how we used to.... But it's just too difficult for me...

RECENTLY

RECENTLY, everything at home seems peaceful (at the moment)... I don't mean to sound negative... But when you think about when a person has taken away your freedom to hang out with your friends (in an unwilling manner), how would you feel... Sometimes i would think whether is hubby feeling the same way because he has not been hanging out with his friends for quite some time now (even futsal)... Actually it's not because i don't let him hang out with his friends... It's just that i'm very scared that something bad might happen to him while he is driving to the destination or home... And of course (i won't deny), i feel insecure when he is not around me... At any time, the word "INSECURITY" will pop out of my mind out of nowhere... It's not just because he has lied to me before when we were on practical training, but it's also because i am very scared of karma... I have cheated on my previous boyfriends and i just hate the phrase "what goes around comes around"...

But on the brighter side, hubby and i have been very happy and been very playful no matter where we go... We kept making each other laugh and tickling each other with our words and actions... Lovin' it... :) *2 thumbs up*

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DEAD

This morning I noticed that there is nothing in my tank already (other than the dead bodies).. But anyhow, i am not giving up... I'll leave it up to dry and then refill the tank... And we'll see whether does it really reborn...

FYI, it has been more than 30 days already... So it did not disappoint me... :)

GAMBATEH!!!!

DAVID FOSTER AND FRIENDS

Last night on our way to have dinner at our favourite Korean restaurant (Jung Won), hubby's backside itchy and called Lite and Easy to play the guessing game (Who Am 'I')... And he just tucked his phone to me and ask me to answer on his behalf... I was like "WTH!!!"... I kept pushing his phone back to him but he was giving me the best excuse ever - i am driving!!! And while we were pushing the phone back at each other, Rex (the DJ) picked up.... So i have no choice but to give him my details and answered the question... I was very pissed off during then... But after knowing what I have won, i can't help but to feel SUPER HAPPY!!!! I have always wanted it... Honestly I wanted to buy the DVD... But it's expensive... So I think double CD is just as good... Hehehehehe... :)

Thank you baby... Mmmuakkksss... Mmmuakkksss...

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 28

As of this morning, there are only 4 left... T-T

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 13

Am back to work again!!! Serious Monday blues!!! Because today i have to rush for so many things... Inventory, closing, etc.... Plus i am quite sleepy today.. Can't really sleep much last night... What a waste... Coz it was a cool cool night... :)

But anyhow, Ocean Monkeys are in their 13th day now.... And the numbers had decreased.... To more than half... I could even see those dead ones at the bottom of the tank - black in colour... Those that are still alive are now swimming in normal pace but some are just swimming very slowly...

Hmmm... So worried that it'll not work out... T-T

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 9

Today some of them stop swimming already... Just floating around... T-T

Yesterday Esther and i noticed that some of them was swimming slowly... Then we were wondering what caused them to be like that... Is it because the tank that i have now is too small?? Is it because of the water?? Or is it because i did not give them enough food???

We really don't know... We'll see how things goes... :(

A DIRTY COLLEAGUE

I have been having a dirty colleague sitting next to me... Although it's no biggie to some people but i really cannot take it... This morning, like any other mornings if i came to work early, i always sees him rinsing his spoon using the distilled water dispenser.. And there will be water dripping everywhere on the floor... This morning he kept saying that he'll mop it later and ask me not to be mad at him...

And the thing that i hate most about him is that he always eats on other people's desk )usually nasi lemak)... And he makes the table very messy... When the owner of that table notices the sambal stains and the newspaper marks on the table and asks who's "work of art" it is, he WILL admit it, but he will never stop that habit... I really don't understand how a person could be that irresponsible and just doesn't care what other people thinks about him...

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 6

Am back to work today and they look the same (unfortunately)... But it's ok... I have time... Hehehehe.. Just as long as they don't die on me... :)

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 4 & 5

Cannot see the progress these days because i am not working (Saturday & Sunday)... :(

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 3

THEY'RE FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!! Our wait is over... Hahahaha... There are a lot of them... I think there are roughly 30 over of them swimming and floating around.... KAWAII NEH!!!!!!!!!

I really like them so much!!!!!!!!

IN OFFICE TODAY

I quite like the time spent in office and having a very nice lunch full of laughter with Esther (my sis at work)... I really like making her laugh like today.... At least i won't feel that i keep stressing her with my attitude in office... Because i know that sometimes i go berserk and go quite off with my anger but i am harmless - most of the time... ;) And i am lucky enough because she is always here for me when i go crazy all the time........ *so touched!!* T-T

Thank you siao po... :)

*hugs*

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 2

I have just inserted the eggs into the water now... And Esther and I are waiting for the Ocean Monkeys to pop out from the eggs.. Hehehehe... Very anxious!!! Every now and then Esther and I would take a look at it.. Hehehehe... Silly little girls.. :)

OCEAN MONKEYS PROJECT - DAY 1!!!!

I HAVE A NEW PET TO PLAY WITH NOW!!!!! And it's now in the office with me... But i have to wait til tonight only i could insert the eggs into the tank... Hehehehe...

I have just come upon a couple of comments through other people's blogs that it dies within a week.. BUT who cares!!! Because it can be reborn again!!! *AWESOME!!!* Hahahahaha...

I have always wanted it since the first time I had laid eyes on them in Petsmore... And now i have it!!!! All thanks to Joey and Janice!!! Hehehehe..

ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!!!!! :)

A VOICE AND SONG THAT MAKES ME MELT ALL THE TIME.. WITHOUT FAIL!!!

FOOLISH HEART - STEVE PERRY

I need a love that grows,
I don't want it unless I know,
With each passing hour,
Someone somehow,
Will be there,
Ready to share...

I need a love that's strong,
I'm so tired of being alone,
But will my lonely heart,
Play the part,
Of the fool again,
Before I begin...

Foolish heart,
Hear me callin',
Stop before,
You start fallin',
Foolish heart,
Heed my warnin',
You've been wrong before,
Don't be wrong anymore...

Feelin' that feelin' again,
I'm playin' a game I can't win,
Love's knockin' on the door,
Of my heart once more,
Think I'll let her in,
Before I begin...

Foolish Heart,
Hear me callin',
Stop before,
You start fallin',
Foolish heart,
Heed my warnin',
You've been wrong before,
Don't be wrong anymore,
Foolish heart...

Foolish, foolish heart,
You've been wrong before...

Foolish heart,
Hear me callin',
Stop before,
You start fallin',
Foolish heart,
Heed my warnin',
You've been wrong before,
Don't be wrong anymore,
Foolish heart...

Oh foolish, foolish heart,
You've been wrong before...

Foolish, foolish heart,
Foolish heart...

LIFE IS SHORT... APPRECIATE IT!!!

Today at work, there were 2 colleagues that adviced me to steady down during work... Don't stress myself too much and don't get angry easily... It's difficult because it's in my blood.... But i'll try... Thank you both so much, Miss E and Mr I... :)

But what made them say that to me it's because something happened at work last night... A lady colleague of mine (from another department), went berserk around the lobby area... She was playing the koi pond's water and under the rain, singing and shouting at the people around her... Then when the security arrived, she was being dragged away and ended up being brought away by an ambulance a few minutes after that....

And this morning someone told me that it happened since she was waiting for the train in Ampang Park LRT Station... She was yelling and shouting at all the passerby and even the wall also kena!!! After her ordeal in the LRT Station, she walked all the way back to hotel and continue around the lobby area... It sure had frightened the customers but it was just a short shocking moment... Other than getting to know when it happened and where she had started her "attack", we had also heard about what triggered it...

It's because she have been working for almost 10 years in this hotel, and have been hoping for a promotion... A few years ago before i joined this company, she had 2 months cross exposure in sales department... She enjoyed the working environment there and so, she requested for a transfer... But unfortunately, her then boss, did not approve her release... And like any normal employee's mindset, if your boss wouldn't let you go, that means you are really important to them and also to the organization... So she stayed and persevered.... Stayed extra long hours without complain, always do everything as quick and as neatly as possible.... After so many years had passed, an opportunity finally came forth... An exec position was posted out, just recently.... She was very happy and expecting that she would be the one that will be allocated to be in that position.... But unfortunately, that position was given away to a much newer male staff...

I guess it had not just broke her mentally, but also her heart.... I really would not know how to handle it if i'm her... You have spent so many years in this company and you're not being appreciated... This really bites.... Hy.... I guess this is life.... Nothing is fair...

FYI, she is now being strapped down on the bed in one of the hospitals in KL because her condition is quite serious...

REPLYING INNER THOUGHTS

Hey deary.. Read your blog and i just would like to share a little thing or 2 about what i think...

First of all, the old HAPPILY EVER AFTER ending, yup.. It's overrated... And as a matter of fact, it cannot be applied and it's not relevant in the real world...

Secondly, you will find your true love someday... Mark my words hun, "YOU WILL!!!" :)

Thirdly, pushing the blame to someone is actually, believe it or not, it's imprinted in all of us... It's human nature... I'm not saying that you did wrong for concluding that it's his fault and also, at the same time, i did not say that he's wrong for concluding that it's your fault... But IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO (you should know this, right??)... Although if you tell me that you do not know how to tango, fine!! Learn!! Learn together... After every arguments / misunderstandings, always find an initiative to solve it on that day itself... Never drag the problem because it could only gets worst... TRUST ME... I have been there and i really hate that feeling... It suffocates me...

Fourthly, be comfortable with your partner... Know his habits, the way he speaks and understanding his body language... It could actually minimize the arguments and misunderstandings...

Last but not least, spend more time together.... Understand each other more... No time?? FIND TIME!!! No agenda?? SURPRISE EACH OTHER!!! For me, not everything has to be planned out when it comes to spending some quality time and just plain sweet talking to each other... Have dinner together more often... Go for trips and just stay in the hotel room plain cuddling and chit chatting...

Therefore, it really takes two to build a good and healthy relationship... We'll talk more when we meet ya.... Maybe we'll try smoking again at Times Square's Starbucks behind Jeff's back... Hehehehe... (^-^)

Can't wait to see you soon.... *hugs*

Love forever and for always,
Jessica

DIABLO @ DEVIL

Hubby and i went to Leisure Mall early this evening to watch a movie based on M.Night Shyamalan's brilliant idea and we came out of the cinema SATISFIED!!! Hehehehe.. Hubby was usually confused with M.Night Shyamalan's movies and will usually asking me questions constantly after we came out of the cinema or when we got into the car (like how an innocent child would).. But not this time though.. So i think it's either the movie is not complicated or maybe hubby's afraid to ask.. ; )

But anyhow, this is the link to the HD trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXJpBuMAt1U.. Hope you guys will enjoy it as much as we do... :)

MARRIAGE

To those who are married, .. Not married .. and
soon to be married, I hope you will be touched with this story... It definitely made me cried uncontrollably..


MARRIAGE

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.. I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me,
you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted
to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory
answer; she had lost my heart to Lily. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.

She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Lily so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Lily.

When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.

She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door every morning.. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.

I told Lily about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully..

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me.

On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Lily about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.

Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...I walked upstairs. Lily opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Lily, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead.. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Lily, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each
other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Lily seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead.

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.

If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

FRUSTRATION

I was kind of having a nice weekend.. Considered that i get to take Janice and mom out for a late night movie on Saturday... But last night, was a horrible one... I really am very frustrated and tired of my mother's attitude and behaviour already... I had enough...

When Janice, hubby and i got home last night, the house was very quiet and cold... But we're getting used to it now... We got home, did what we should, and in the end, i was on the couch stitching, Janice on her lappy and hubby (as always) reading newspaper... Then, Janice went to the ktichen to wash her hands or something... She was shouting from the kitchen asking why is the kitchen basin's handle is gone.. Mom says that she was trying to fix it but then the whoel thing fell off... She was looking for a substitude in the house but she has forgotten where she has placed it.. So we have to tolerate it for a while... And other than that, she was complaining how she had given up on the old man and this and that in front of Janice... Janice got tired of her same old issues and complains everyday, and walked away... Less than 20 mins after we got home, that old man went out... To where, nobody knows... Recently he would just leave the house without saying a word... Upgraded version of him... Previously he would inform everyone that he is going out... Maybe he knows that we do not care about him anymore...

But later that night, my mother informed us (again!!!) not to switch on the balcony lights before we go to bed... I yelled at her... Saying that both Janice and i know what to do... She does not have to remind us again and again..... You have to forgive us for being rude to my mother.. It is because other than shouting at her to make her stop this nuisance, there is nothing else we could ever do.... She keeps reminding us EVERY SINGLE FUCKING NIGHT the same thing over and over again... And on top of that, she also adds a few complains about that man.... If she had not accept him back the other day, then nothing like this will ever happen...... She will not be this frustrated and unhappy... She would have got her freedom back....

I really do not understand why sometimes she could be this shallow and sometimes she could be so smart.... I guess this is what happens when you are torn between your children's happiness or your own's...

SOMETHING CRAZY!!!

This morning i was half asleep in the office.. And when i was checking my emails (as i usually do every morning), i found that i have CC-ed to the wrong person.. The email was sent by Miss A.. But i accidentally CC it to Miss B.. So i think Miss B is quite pissed off with me right now.. Or even hate me...

I was forced to say so because Mr C called me up yesterday evening asking about why Miss B sent an email to him to confirm a couple of liqour orders.. Then i keep telling him that maybe Miss B just wants to double confirm on the order or to let him know that htere is such order being made... Then at the end of the whole conversation, i realise that what he is trying to convey is, "You guys got no communication ge meh?".. This question has been hanging around for quite some time.. And i do feel that we really do not have good communication skill amongst ourselves.. Hy.. What to do.. We tried to change the situation before, but it did not work..

So because of this question (which really upset me), i replied Miss A's email and bashed Miss B... And at the end, Miss B found out because i accidentally CC-ed to her... I felt sorry at first... And wanted to apologise... But when i come to think of it, Nah!!! ... Because i really feel that she do not communicate with me well... She do not come forward to ask me about anything.. She just likes to ask some other people or the end user themselves... Which apparently, she will get bashed too... Hy... Really difficult to work here...

Someone please save me.... T-T

JOHN'S WEDDING DINNER

*too bad Sam has to leave early*

I honestly never expect that John would invite my family and i to attend his wedding dinner.. But too bad Mr and Mrs Lau could not attend - but they definitely wish them well.. And it was totally fun.. Having to see one of my best friends getting married (especially him).. Hahahaha.. He had also given me and my Len Sen buddies a chance to get together in a complete group because whenever we come out for tea, it is not always a complete set of members (especially Sam and Tiger-always busy and not around).. :(

Other than telling everyone how much i have enjoyed last night's dinner, i would also like to thank my Len Sen buddies for being so nice to my hubby.. He was scared that he wouldn't be able to mix around but they made him feel comfortable with their jokes and messing the karaoke sessions a bit.. Hehehehehe...

And to the new Mr and Mrs Teh, wish you both all the best, take good care of each other and we are now waiting for the next good news ya (pregnancy)!!! Hehehehe..

Thank you all once again, take care and we should come out more often ya..

Love you guys very much.. :)

SUDDENLY FELT LIKE DEDICATING THIS SONG TO SOMEONE..


When your down and troubled,
And you need a helping hand,
And nothing,
Whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me,
And soon I will be there,
To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,
And you know wherever I am,
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.

Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
All you got to do is call,
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
You've got a friend.

If the sky above you,
Should turn dark and full of clouds,
And that old north wind should begin to blow,
Keep your head together and call my name out loud now,
And soon I'll be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am,
I'll come running to see you again
Oh yes i will see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall,
All you got to do is call,
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
When people can be so cold.

They'll hurt you and desert you,
Well they'll take your soul if you let them,
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.

Oh babe, don't you know 'bout,
Winter, spring, summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.

Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

SURPRISE!!!

Just when i thought that everything is getting better between she and i, suddenly i have received a news about her being transfered to the higher floors.. Sadly she is not allowed to say no... Although sometimes i am angry of her, argued with her or stopped talking to her for a couple of days, after everything had passed, we will be happy again.. Joking and making loads of noise in the office and sometimes laughing because of something minor.. I just cannot believe that after working with her for quite some time and already getting used to her way of work and her mood swings, she has to leave... Sometimes thinking about it makes me really want to just leave without a notice.. But that is just too childish.. I will see how things will go after my trip back from China with hubby.. If my "new boss" is as nice as how i have worked with him before i was being transfered, then i might just consider hanging around a little longer..

STUPIDITY

After his Beijing trip, i thought that he will turn to a new leaf.. But it seems that he is still the same old Mr Lau.. The first week after his trip he was doing ok.. Showing some improvements.. But after that week, he starts his routine again.. Until today.. It is getting worst and worst each day.. This morning, he came home at 6.15am.. He did not come home after bringing mom out to meet Janice at her camp and taking mom to dinner.. And as usual, after dropping mom home, he went out... Until this morning 6.15am.. He thought that mom and i would not know about it.. But he was so damn wrong... How can he be so stupid to think that we are dumb??? I think he should know that i have caught him coming back this morning.. The funniest thing is that if he got the balls to come home early in the morning, why can't he just open the gate and the door as usual?? Why must he be so discreet on opening and closing the gate like how you would see in slow moving clips???? And when he heard mom's alarm clock rang, he just rushed into the bathroom and pretend as though he has waken earlier (GREAT!!!!)... He even changed my cat's potty this morning (which is quite rare)...

I really cannot help but to keep wondering where he went and what is that that made him so hooked up... I am very curious.. If you would say it is because of the current badminton match that's been going on or his favourite snooker and his fucking booze, i seriously doubt it... There must be something else...

I know his tactics really well... I think mom knows about it too... If he comes home in the wee mornings, he will open and close the gate slowly and then change into his pjs and goes to bed as making the impression that he had came home around 1am or 2am.. But not this time.. You have been caught by your wife... I reckon that this is great.. I even can't wait for the real drama to begin... Call me wicked but this is how i am... If you have crossed the line, i will make sure you pay for it dearly...

MY NEW VENTURE

I have been trying to make my own tiramisu and finally have succeeded!!!!! Last week was ok but this week i am more confident.... Thanks to hubby's and Janice's taste buds and willingness to be guinea pigs... But too bad we did not have any pictures of the result... But Janice did take a couple candids from our first experiment.. Hehehehe... I really love it when we are all packed in a small small kitchen doing a small project... :)

MOVIE REVIEW - MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY


Other than The Fall, i had also fell in love with Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day and have been watching it over and over again these couple of weeks.. It is a romantic movie about a middle-aged London governess, finding herself unfairly dismissed from her job.. In an attempt to gain new employment catapults her into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse..

PS,
Check out the theme songs as well.. Totally awesome!!! Especially "If I Didn't Care" - sang by Amy Adams and Lee Pace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-DhABLiirg)


SUMMARY:-
In 1939 London, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (played by Ms. McDormand) is a middle-aged governess who finds herself once again unfairly dismissed from her job. Without so much as severance pay, Miss Pettigrew realizes that she must for the first time in two decades seize the day. This she does, by intercepting an employment assignment outside of her comfort level as social secretary. Arriving at a penthouse apartment for the interview, Miss Pettigrew is catapulted into the glamorous world and dizzying social whirl of an American actress and singer, Delysia Lafosse (Ms. Adams). Within minutes, Miss Pettigrew finds herself swept into a heady high-society milieu and, within hours, living it up. Taking the social secretary designation to heart, she tries to help her new friend Delysia navigate a love life and career, both of which are complicated by the three men in Delysias orbit; devoted pianist Michael (Mr. Pace), intimidating nightclub owner Nick (Mr. Strong), and impressionable junior impresario Phil (Mr. Payne). Miss Pettigrew herself is blushingly drawn to the gallant Joe (Mr. Hinds), a successful designer who is tenuously engaged to haughty fashion maven Edythe (Ms. Henderson) the one person who senses that the new social secretary may be out of her element, and schemes to undermine her. Over the next 24 hours, Guinevere and Delysia will empower each other to discover their romantic destinies.

MOVIE REVIEW - THE FALL

Recently hubby and i have been crazy about a small and cute little girl from the movie that we have recently discovered, THE FALL.. This movie is totally amazing.. I have been searching anything and everything about this movie, the artists, the director, etc.. I have been watching this movie over and over again... And i have even managed to find a site for me to watch the whole movie.. This movie is basically about a small girl (CATINCA UNTARU), staying in a hospital and befriended a paralyzed stuntman (LEE PACE) and began their journey through their imagination of a story created by the stuntman..


SUMMARY:-
Roy Walker (Lee Pace), an early 20th century Hollywood stuntman, lands in the hospital after performing a dangerous stunt to impress his girlfriend. Bedridden, distraught, and suicidal after losing her to the star of the film, he befriends fellow patient Alexandria (Catinca Untaru), a young immigrant girl with a broken arm. He enchants her with a fantastical tale about five heroes: an Indian, an ex-slave named Otta Benga, an Italian explosives expert called Luigi, a highly fictionalized version of Charles Darwin accompanied by a monkey sidekick named Wallace (after Alfred Russel Wallace), and a masked bandit. An evil Governor Odious has committed an offense against each of the five, and they all seek revenge. They unite, and are joined by a sixth hero, a mystic, who is depicted emerging from a tree trunk. Their story is presented as Alexandria vividly imagines it; for instance, Roy's "Indian" is supposed to be a Native American, but she sees him as an actual resident of the Indian subcontinent, as she has friends among immigrants from India who work alongside her in the orchards of southern California (where her injury occurred as she was picking fruit).


Although Roy develops genuine affection for Alexandria, he also has an ulterior motive: by telling tales and gaining her trust, he tricks her into stealing morphine from the hospital pharmacy so he can attempt suicide.


As the line between fact and fantasy blurs, real-life people begin to populate Roy's fictitious stories and the stories themselves become a more collaborative tale to which Alexandria also contributes. A hospital nurse (Justine Waddell) becomes the center of a romantic feud between Governor Odious and the masked bandit, who turns out to be Roy. Alexandria herself becomes a character in the story; while Roy is the masked bandit in her imaginary version of the story, she is his daughter. Mesmerized by the epic, ever-changing story, Alexandria returns to the pharmacy to pilfer another bottle of morphine for Roy. While climbing on a ladder to reach the pills high on a shelf, she loses her footing and falls, injuring herself.


After surgery (depicted in an expressionistic stop-motion animated sequence by Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein, typical of their style), Alexandria is visited by Roy in the recovery room, where he consoles her and confesses his deception. He can now only imagine a grim ending to the tale, and encourages Alexandria to ask someone else to tell it. Alexandria insists on hearing Roy's ending.


Roy reluctantly begins the rest of the story. The heroes die one by one, and it seems that Odious will be triumphant. Alexandria becomes upset, and Roy insists, "It's my story." She declares, "Mine too," and in the end is able to exert some influence on the course of the tale. Not only does she change the tale; she helps Roy overcome his real-life issues.

Once they are fully recovered, Roy returns to work as a stuntman and Alexandria returns to picking fruit with her family in the orange groves. The Fall ends with the showing of the film in which Roy appeared.

Hope you guys will enjoy it as much as we both do...
Thank you all a million...


WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!

This has been going on for 2 whole weeks already.. And still there is no progression.. So i have made up my mind to leave her sight after i am back from my Guilin trip with hubby.. But that is if i can keep my cool until then... I just do not understand why can't she just admit that she was wrong about the strong statement that she had said?? Rather than keep having that same attitude.. Everyone knows that the way she communicates to someone has a little problem.. I know i do too, and i am trying my hardest to change.. But the funniest thing is that she do not mind or care whatever people say about her... She will just be the same... Although i have told her a few times that she has to change the way she answers someone's question.. I just really hope that once i have left, everything will be back to normal and that she would change for the better..

TODAY'S THEME SONG

(how nice if i could cuddle up with hubby while listening to this song and watch the sun sets)

Baby, i'm-a want you
Baby, i'm-a need you
You're the only one I care enough to hurt about
Maybe i'm-a crazy
But I just can't live without...

Your lovin' and affection
Givin' me direction
Like a guiding light to help me through my darkest hour
Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me...

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Feeling all the while and never really knowing why...

Lately I'm a-prayin'
That you'll always be a-stayin' beside me...

Used to be my life was just emotions passing by
Then you came along and made me laugh
And made me cry
You taught me why...

Baby, i'm-a want you
Baby, i'm-a need you...

Oh, it took so long to find you, baby...

Baby, i'm-a want you
Baby, i'm-a need you...

MY SONG OF THE DAY!!!

Just a small town girl
Livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Livin just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anythin to roll the dice just one more time

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Livin just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin
Hold on
Streetlight people

Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin
Streetlight people

I LOVE MY JOB!!!! BUT.....

I have been having a hell of a week (or should i say 2 weeks!!).... Shit just continuously happening... I am just so sick and tired of people that can just simply twist and turn the truths and make people believe that all that she or he had said is actually true when what they explained are just creations from their imagination... But the worst thing of all, the person that received the complain do not even find out what actually happened and just straight away barking away towards my superior.... Luckily my superior is not as senseless as he or she is.... I am actually very proud and glad that I have such a strict but nice superior to work with... When someone is barking through the phone until i can hear that person's voice loud and clear even when i am 10-15 feet away from her, she just keeps her cool and try to solve the problem... Not barking back at the person on the other side of the phone... Other than that, there has been this pending and totally messed up shit that one of the outlets had done since last month... Still unsolved because that freaking motherfucker keeps taking mc, emergency leave or just missing in action (MIA).. And today, he was so proud to send an email to my superior and made it sound like it's our fault (another idiot)!! Of course this time, he had made my boss agitated with the irrespectful way he sent that email (he does not know how to respect to anyone whatsoever) and the work that he had delayed for a month... I have asked her to forget about that asshole because everybody in that particular department knows that the sender is being backed up by his boss... SO basically it is TOTALLY useless... No matter what we say, they will create a story to cover their asses...

Well, if you want to know.. First of all, the person that said, "Tunggu la.. Kita busy sekarang.. Nanti baru kita issue la.." Clearly it was not me who said it... But i know who... And i won't let anyone know because the way and the tone that it is said is not rude at all!!! Reason being, the person that said these words is the accuser's@dreamer's close friend... Plus, i do not need to explain myself... The more i explain, the more you will think that i am trying to cover something... Secondly, if you did something wrong (and clearly you did), even if you do not want to admit it, just keep your mouth shut, sit in a corner and let the person in charge wipe off your shit... Do not go making fake accusations and not letting your superior know what exactly happened and made him or her so shameful when we told him the real issue that started all these and found out that we were right...... Thirdly, please organize your work and prioritize what is important.... Being on MC, EL or MIA just like that will definitely make you sink really quickly in this world... Well, unless you do not matter whether will you be loosing your job some day though.... And last but not least, GET YOUR SOURCE RIGHT BEFORE YOU BARK YA?????!!!! Cheers...

SO, good luck guys... Including to myself...
