Wedding Rehearsal
Qin and I just had our wedding rehearsal. While we are lying on the bed that is. She was reading out the proceedure from the wedding preparation guide and I was saying out the vows and all that. We kept laughing... There's a part that the Pastor ask us to join our right hands. And I started playing thumb wrestling.. Then when pastor was continuing with the proceedure, I imagined a last minute guest just walked in and immediately pinched Huiqin and ask her "What colour?" Then after everything when it's time to lift the veil and kiss the bride, I lifted the imaginery veil and attempted to lick her nose.. Hhaaaahhaha.
Money
Qin and I were totally broke after our first appt with HDB. Paid up the COV and all our savings were wiped out. I was wondering what to do when I remembered that I have some claims that I have spent for my company before. Quickly I went to dig up the receipts and started doing the claims... And the total amount added up to be SGD 1001 worth of claims.. Ha, instantly I became 1k richer.. Hee, thank God I remembered to claim....
Happy Birthday to Me
11th of April is my birthday. This year's birthday's really unique.
Some of my church friends forgotten all about it and called me to apologized. My cell group gave me a pair of shoes which I just got the correct size recently. My card was in a bottle. It's still in the bottle as I cannot take it out. There is a person by the name of "Fake Love" who sent me an sms "happy birthday" that's all. WTH!!! So insincere. To be honest, I felt insulted. Such a cheap sms might as well don't send. "Fake Love" really lives up to his name. Even a system generated sms can do better than that. Then on the actual day of 11th, I was in the office working. I bought a cake myself and gathered my colleagues and asked them to sing happy birthday song for me. I then cut the cake while they all went back to their respective areas to work. I distributed the cake and begged them to eat. Some did some were too busy to do so.
Nah, some of the above are true some are not... Ha.
This is a bo liao post.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Ken.

Human Resource Management
As he came into the room, his tatoos were standing out like a rose in a desert. Under the warm light, his skin was glowing. Clearly, many years of hard work under the sun cannot be hidden under his simple T-shirt. As he walked closer, the tatoos became more obvious and the pictures start to come alive. It's as alive as the owner. Perhaps as dead...
The talk began and how heavy the conversation it was. Before long, tears flowed. Voices begin to change and the atmosphere shifted. The tough has relented. Relented under the power of the Dollar. It all boils down to bread and butter. It has already been decided. A decision that was totally uncomfortable and in my opinion, uncalled for.
In anycase, what can one person do? The vote has been casted. I was called in. Called in to do escorting. Something that was tough. The walk was so long and the silence was so deafening. The tension - unbelievable. There's was real stress.
I thought of his kid, my heart grew soft. He thought of his daughter, tears flowed. I asked "What are your plans now?" He only replied "Plans, What plans? No plans." What can I do? He is just one of the many to come.
Today I'm glad that payday is in another 6 days' time.
Today, I know a man is made jobless.

Parable of the 5 cockroaches
Ahmad, Ali, Faizal, Hoirul and Kamaruddin are 5 cockroaches. One day they decided to move their home to Blk 410 rubbish chute. As they cannot take it that people are throwing rubbish down at their faces literally, they decided to climb up to the top. As they climb and climb, they saw some light and decided to creep into a HDB unit that has a gap at the bin.
As they got in, they were so happy and started enjoying themselves to the food and drinks. They roamed around like no cockroach's business. Suddenly, the owner came back and switched on the lights.
Ahmad who was on the kitchen table tried to run and the owner tried to scare him away. Then it was Ali who was at the fridge. When the owner open the fridge, Ali courageously ran into the fridge and hid behind the ice maker. The owner had a hard time trying to lure him out. As the owner tried, the ice box dropped and Ali ran to the floor. Faizal on the other hand, was hidding amongst the clothes and as Faizal usually eats a lot, he was an obese personnel. Nevertheless, the owner spotted him.
While trying to look for the insecticide, the owner spotted Hoirul who was at the computer table and also Hoirul was just trying to flap his wings. Then there was Kamaruddin as well who was at the kitchen cabinet.
The owner was furious and threw newspapers at them. Then out came the insecticide. As it was for mosquitoes, the owner had no choice but to spray this useless insecticide at Ali and he made his way pass the fridge area to the next insecticide. This time, the owner got hold of the stronger insecticide. He started firing at will and before too long, the bottle of insecticide was totally expended. 1 mag of 30 rounds was clearly not enough. 2 bottles were used and the whole house was filled with insecticide. The owner went to bathe but still the smell was overwhelming. It was a Mansionette but it was still extremely smelly upstairs. The owner decided to bring a laptop to a nearby 24 hr Mac and recorded this incident on his blog.
End of report.

the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Since the DAY, I have slept a total of approx 10 hrs. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. There are people who make things happen and people who wait for things to happen and some wondered what happen.... I do not know why some people at senior positions can be so small in their thinking. No spirit of excellence. Cannot be bothered to think ahead. lazy. Incompetent. Some people are slow. They are very trying but seriously, you are way too slow. I want this piece of work done 5 hrs ago and you're still working on it? Poor IT skills. Is it my fault that you do not have proper training in IT? Sometime people like to blame everyone else for things. Is it my fault that you do not have a better education and thus cannot command a higher pay? Come on get real. This is life.
There are just so many things that I wanna do but cannot due to my time in work. Wonder how's Jan doing...Hope he is recovering well. Hope that everyone's BF will be fulfilled. Hope that Easter is well prepared. Totally no time to prep. I need to sleep. Working tomorrow. and probably the day after too.
