@2:31 PM
Sunday is supposed to be my busy day but amazingly, you can find me seated at the comp table for almost the entire day today. *lol* Like what I've told you in my previous entry, it feels weird indeed to be at home on sundays cos I wld usually be out by 12.30pm den for mus'art band prac and be back home only by abt 9.00++pm. Oh well. However, I deserve a day break like this so tt I can take on a longer journey ya? In mandarin, we say," xiu xi shi wei le yao zou geng chang yuan de lou." Tt's precisely what I meant.
This coming week gonna be a hectic one again; Work for five and a half days as usual. On top of tt, I've to rush down to Jurong on Thurs and Fri from my workplace for mus'art band prac with Hardy Mertens. And the worst thing happens when both practices gonna end late at ard 9.30pm. On calculation, it'll be abt 11.00pm by the time I reach home, provided tt there's no transport or any other means of delay.
Frankly speaking, I dun mind the lateness. In spite of tt, the issue here is tt I've to wake up early in the morning ard 7.15pm the next day to work. *sigh* Whether I can survive the following working day or not is still a question here. Moreover, I dun wanna take a day off on Friday cos it's certainly meaningless since after all I'll be leaving HSBC on Sat, as in 5th Feb. *sigh again* Mmm..What to do? All I can assure myself is to keep an optimistic outlook and everything will sure turn out fine. Yup! =D
For once I cld wake up at 11.00+ in the morning ever since I've started working. *lol*
Read thru Sunday Times while having breakfast and learnt abt news on Indigoz again. *dots* Lotsa complicated matters going on as investigation is carried out on this company. Well, from the response of the chief executive and founder of Indigoz, Mr Patrick Teng, it seems like he's pretty confident of wining the case.
Well..I think tt his entire plan abt I-cheques dining vouchers is too perfect to be true. As a matter-of fact, the I-cheques movement benefits all parties involved; the producers, the consumers as well as the respective dining restaurants where these cheques cld be used. Sort of a win-win situation for everyone. Hence, it's no wonder tt suspicion from Commercial Affairs Department(CAD) is aroused which led to investigations to be carried out as the company was alleged to have fraudulent business conduct. So now what happens? Pple have to make a special trip to bank jus to get their refunds. And as a staff there helping them to get their reimbursement, I'm also inevitably faced with exasperated customers who are certainly difficult to deal with at times. Oh well. I feel that it's time for certain greedy consumers to do some self-reflection instead of putting blame on others for such mishap to happen. Should they purchased jus enough for their own disposal, there wldnt have so many extra unused cheques when the whole movement came to a halt in mid Jan.
Alright..enough of all these I-cheques stuffs le. Think I've been hovering ard this issue for quite a number of my blog entries. *hee* Guys who patronised my blog must be more or less quite educated with this thingy ba? *lol*
Anyway, how do you guys find this fresh outlay of my blog? Hmm..it took me lotsa effort to get the html- a complicated, and is a once alienated thing to me, to be done. I've analysed how to go abt changing the blogskin the proper way the entire afternoon! *triple dots* Fortunately I've a good helper, X.H to get certain formats in place..else till now, I dun think I can change the dull blogskin to a beta one like tis. Thanks alot X.H!
But while doing all these,I had a good chat over at msn with Xingwen and Kim Heng. Long long time never chat with them like this le!! Haha =D Well..I truly look forward to 19th Feb when we'll be having our very first NYJ 03A6 gathering after like 1 yr plus plus of not seeing one another? Xingwen, Kee Hui, Siew Chen, Ziyun, Huiping, Xin Di, An Qi, Yueh Chinn, Kaiyan, Kenneth, Qiong Hui, Yong An, Kim Heng and Wally. Miss these pple Soo muCh!!=D Wonder how're those whom I've sort of lost contact with doing. Hopefully everyone is doing fine! =)
Tt's all for today's entry. Later gotta read Naruto comic. Have been quite slow these days in catching up with the volumes that I've borrowed from Pohpoh. Cos' I cld only read it on my journey home after work! Den when I reach hm, I've shows to catch on tv. Haha. ^-^ lotsa things to do lo. Sometimes when I only pull out the comic bk from my bag and havent even started reading, I've welcomed a few stares of amazament from pple in my vincinty. *lol* Is it weird to read comic in my formal wear? I dun think so. Aiyah..can't be bothered with it. Hee..=D
Btw, for the benefit of those who have been wondering what's 'tenene', it's actually my way of expressing exasperation. *lol* This is sort of a trademark for my MJ beloved class, S310. =D To pronounce this expression, it goes like this (in hanyu pinying): Te(3) ne(2) ne(1). For non-mandarin speaking buddies, err..I apologised for not being able to explain to you guys using English terms. Will tell you when I meet up with you!=D
Yearn for the days of innocence
