fruitless is boredom

many people thought that i'm overpaid and under worked. which is partly true... that i must agree. but, having almost nil work to do is not as wonderful as it all sounds. i used to get up every morning and know that i've got work waiting for me in the office... and when are the impending deadlines. now, i get up every morning with no true purpose in life. that's the reason why i've been taking leave or mc.

every morning, i come to work, eat breakfast, make my coffee, read the papers online, read blogs, chat on msn / yahoo, write blogs, read more blogs, surf the web for interesting articles and wedding stuff for my friends who are getting married. lunch time! after lunch is worst! trying to just stay awake. when i have nothing to do at work, i feel really sleepy.

last year, when there was no work, i wasn't complaining because i had my wedding to plan for. i could still design stuff at work and that can help me pass my days and weeks. but now, with nothing really to plan for or design, work becomes more of a workload than joy. i used to enjoy work a lot... especially in chicago. everyone there greets you with a chirpy "good morning". there's a flat screen lcd tv at the reception area facing the bar. so, we could've breakfast there while chatting with colleagues. and wednesday morning meetings never go by without coffee and bread from the bakery downstairs. i think i better not write about it anymore... if not, i'll be packing my bags and flying to chicago right now.

so, when i thought of all those fruitless days and lack of job/career/monetary satisfaction here, i made up my mind to take on the new job. of course, i've yet to collect my letter of offer which i will tomorrow. i would love to write about all this in my blog instead of here because i felt like this is kinda personal, but i'm afraid of the people in the office reading my blog since they know my website. so, i'll let it sit here instead.

*no charges for rental, please....*

old fashion

this morning i went to buy some bread for breakfast. and saw these cakes. yummy yummy, it's really difficult to find these cakes in the market anymore.

i always loved these old fashion cakes (i know vp loved this too). i find those secret recipe cakes not nice. hmm, i like la manilla though.

Sun and Fun?

hey guys,

just wondering when will we have another session of sun and fun for the kids? if not, shall we bring them to Kidsports one of these days to meet up? Say Saturday or Sunday afternoon? (better go to 1U early as there is no parking after 1pm)

please advise, sat and sun is getting close...

sorry sorry sorry

sorry sorry sorry.

yes i know i was bad to not go to lil ivan's party. hmm, we all got dressed up at 3pm getting ready to go. i have tried putting re to sleep earlier, but no luck. his eyes were as big, and he was as active. then when we were about to leave the house after calling vp, he didnt even wanna get into the car. he was crying & crying & crying.

i have no choice but to get him back into the house, to the bed. and he slept...

i'm terribly sorry, sue...

i really wanted to go. re always loved birthday parties and i have my birthday book to fill up. sigh. looks like i have to wait till august for the next birthday.

oh and we'll have to meet up soon - need to pass you the present, and od's too. and awaiting the party photo...

the debate

somehow, rakuzen has became our hang out place. or should i say - a place for debates / conferences. hahaha, vp, kl, julie, od, rena, uncle & i went there for dinner. we had a great dinner, the table was filled with food.

then, the debate began... it was a fairly friendly one, though. a debate between husband & wife. communications, respects, temper, tolerance, egoist, understanding etc etc... at the end of it, both kl & uncle were almost in silence. uncle find the debate more interesting than world cup.

rena (didnt wanna get involved too much) sat there helping julie, vp & i to our plum wine.

soon we left for m-bar to watch world cup. bro, pauline, IS, gary & a lot were there. we watched the ukraine game, had a few glasses of beer and left for home hokkein mee with bro & pauline.

beef no more

hmm, for those people who knows me well, knows that i've alwiz loved beef. but somehow one fine day i decided to stop eating it. yes, and vp was surprised when i told her this in rakuzen.

when asked, i answered it's because i pray to kuan yin and it's somehow against the religion. the truth is - it's a return to "something" i've asked/prayed for. u guys dont have to ask what it is - the picture tells...

deep in my heart, this is the least i could do...

the malaysian "geisha"

hehehe, yesterday we had a little get together in rakuzen again. as usual, i arrived the earliest (fyi, my office is the furthest of all). anyway, after we bought what we wanted, we went for our dinner. thank god we were given a room, cause the noise we made... i think probably they will not welcome us anymore.

anyway, we all ordered our stuffs. and thanks to ss, she accompanied vp to drink sake. cause she dun get to drink when she comes out with us. we ate & talked & gossiped. We talked bout our kids, looked at vp's beautiful pictures, saw izac's big round eyes, screened throught the crocs brochure, decided to have the train jelly instead of powerpuff, etc etc.

ss was a little quiet listening to us gossiping, but after a few more shots of sake, she blended in. after dinner as usual, it's time for photo taking. i took a photo of the geishas - why am i not in the picture? as usual, i was holding the camera & without a ciggarette. hahaha.

hmm, just look at the picture - pay attention to the legs and the hands...

where is the "S"

well, i dont think anyone of you notice - except vp & i.

VP's sweetpie - i put. well, notice anything wrong? i knew it the moment i changed. but i was really lazy to amend it. so i leave it just like that until one fine day, when vp finally msn me

"why VP's sweetpie and not sweetpies???"

then she said i'm so pin sum. hahaha, well, it's not like that, it was a mere typo error.

and now i changed it... sorry reeve!!!

gotcha

i know these 2 ladies are back in kl yesterday. after the conversation with vp, she assured me she bought my "look expensive but cheap" shawls.

so this morning i sent od an sms, greeting her return and it went something like this...

me - hey r u back? or paid 700 bucks and still there?
od- still here wanna come, in the city now.
me - huh really ah?

and after somemore idiotic smses, i called vp right away. she too didnt know anything bout this. hmm... and knowing her well enuff, she could have stayed there. hahaha, anyway, i caught her on msn.

and yes i was being gotcha... damn it!!!

anyway, i want my shawl and chicken salt... thanx a million!!!

be xtra careful, ladies...

this morning, i stopped in front of my parents' house to drop off some stuff before heading to work. my maid and i carried the stuff in. the next minute, i saw my maid running out and wondered what happened. she told me that a guy on a motorcycle tried to open the back passenger car door. i'm not sure why because my bag was in the front passenger seat. but, thank goodness i locked my car door even knowing i'll be out in a minute. because that's all it takes for these people to steal your property or hurt you.

so, please please be xtra careful!
