Walking Brinjal

wah finally finished reading a set of notes on some operation guidelines.

But that's not important (anything that requires reading at work is not important).

What is more important is that I am dressed like a freaking brinjal! I didnt realise the colour combo until the last minute when i was about to go and took one last look at the mirror and I am in purple...and green!!! GAH!! Well, I shall sit quietly behind my desk for the rest of the day and if I were to walk around the office a.k.a the loo, my manager's cubicle, the counter...etc...it SHOULD be done promptly and walk quickly/run back to the table.

That aside, I wanna talk about my mum's erratic behaviour recently. I think I have talked about this before but I just think it's getting a little off the hand recently with her spewing vulgarities over the simplest thing. I did not get for her the peanut soybean pancake last Saturday and got her crab nuggets instead and she threw into a hissing fit. She practically was scolding and scolding till she was practically tearing from all the anger and accused me of being selfish and only think about myself and not her. Well she never have the habit of telling something properly and goes round the circle so whatever I can catch of what she said, I just take note of it.

But of course, there is such a thing called forgetfulness.

Okay fine, if she wants to reprimand me for not buying exactly what she wanted but she made such a big HUGE fuss over it like it's almost confrontational. Even my brother cant stand it and while I was at the doorstep eager to buy that damn pancake to stop her from spewing those vulgarities but she was like 'NO NEED TO BUY LA! YOU GO BUY YOU DONT COME BACK!!' but yet again she was so so so not over the matter and keep on harping on it that I was like 'you want me to buy or not?!' I just trying to save her from creating more sins.

Anyway, big shout out to my brother for his willingness to accompany me to go buy the pancake at about 8.30pm at night despite my mum's angry retort at him to not follow me. But he was like..'hrmph..I don care..I cant stand all the shouting'..and he went out quickly and put on his sandals and about to slam the door shut..haha.

I mean really...I have been putting up with her nonsense all these years but at times, it can get unbearable and I feel like screaming at her back in BIG BOLD WORDS but she's my mum...you know what I mean?

Well, today is Monday. Big fat yawn there. Normally I look forward to a brand new week but nowadays, it seems to be an emotional ride between 'one more week to payday!' and 'groans'. Mariah my chat buddy is on medical leave so Im bored. But then, she hasnt been chatting with me the past few days also as she is bogged down by work while yours truly dont have quite a lot of work to do ever since the start of the school holidays except to correspond with the parents and guardians of the students who applied for the school's admission tests. Anyway I dont expect to have a totally uninterrupted chat with her coz our chat sessions are very random although it wouldnt kill for each one of us to drop lines every now and then.

Trust me, when the work comes in fast and furious, I hardly have time to have a proper lunch. Suddenly they will come in drones and my table will be like the aftermath of world war II.

Oh well...let's hope Mariah will get her chat mojo back so it will not be quite a drag for the day to end..with our without work on hand.

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
