Sunburnt on Wednesday, April 27, 2005
These days i have become an active listener to a new radio station, AUNTIE 05 station. Every lunchtime becomes episodes of laughing fits, distorted facial expressions, as well as teasing.
My colleague Lilian passed me a card which was encased inside a white envelope. She had cordially invited me to her daughter(k1)'s birthday. She resides in Toa Payoh by the way. And now i have to ponder over the gift of a small little girl.
Yesterday over lunch my colleagues were on the topic of my ear piercing. They had amazingly thought i had pierced my ear since i was a kid. According to them, some children were uncontrollably mischievous that their parents had their ears pierced, for goodness sake. Erm, that is the first old wives' tale that i had heard.
Then i upon being asked, i had to explain to them that i had pierced left after asking frens around about the significance of being left-pierced or right. I further told them that perhaps those who with 2 ears pierced are juz super vain and HIAO. The next minute, all the 4 ladies glared at me unblinkly.
Adeline: YOu wan to die is it? Wat hiao?
It was then i realised, oh ya, gals confirmed pierced 2 ears ma, and i actually were referring to guys. Oh well.
They always like to seek opinion of education stuff, army, and sometimes juz ask about my family in general. I guess they juz treat me like their brother lor.
Good lar, at least now can disturb them, life in the company wun be that mundane...
Today Lilian actually made a comment about how good life i was, to have a room to myself. This make me feel so guilty...The fact that i have an own room is coz there weren't enough and i bo bian have to use their Operation manager's room , and the manager had resigned.
I juz finished 2000 entries to be keyed in a span of 2 days. From yesterday till today. Woah, i was in a daze after that...erm..and i play pin ball for a couple of minutes oops..
I can't believe my colleagues actually tell me there's no filing nothing much to do today. Perhaps except to wait for order lor. They came every few hours.
I realise that i have been doing alot of sales related and accounting related stuff. Pretty good exposure. At times i t seems dull and make u feel so sian but i always go to the pantry and eat something or drink something. Not eat snake ok.
This colleague of mine, Adeline is really a typical singaporean mum. She thousand over dollars per month for her 2 children's tuition. Both son and daughter taking piano and swimming. Swimming now attained gold (for both). Son primary 5, daughter sec1. Mind you...she went to this tuition center where all the teachers there are all ex- HODs. Goodness..and she had her daugher being tuitioned english over there.
She talked alot of how she forked out the money to send them for this and that activity. Of coz i kept quiet and listen. All that we agree was that kids nowadays dunno whether is HAO MING and ER YUN.
No doubt the mother had their general interest at heart. But i guess life does get a bit packed, and there might be some missing childhood links which make the children complete. Juz a personal opinion.
Been sneezing like mad these few days. Sian..
TOday read NEW PAPER and saw this ridiculous news that only NEW PAPER is capable of publishing. It was about this notifying poster that was pasted at the lift of a 4o storey high HDB flat. It said that all the lifts would be out of service on this date from this time to that time. The residents reacted by complaining to HDB. THe poster though had ended with a "from hdb" but actually it was printed by the contractors.
The reactions of the residents no doubt were kind of clowny. One resident was relieved that he does not have to run up the 40 storey apartment in a marathon race.
Hmm how come this kind of things muz be in newspaper ah. Informative meh? tsk tsk.
Was watching this 7pm channel 8 show about this dim wit...nice drama series. Down to earth.
