I was too tired and slept at 9.30pm last nite… By the time I woke up was 7.30am and it was raining cats & dogs… Tot that after raining, the haze will go off, but the sky and buildings were still as blur as before the rain… Sigh…
Don’t feel like going work, but no choice and to drag my feet to take the bus & train to work…
We had lunch from 1pm to 3pm… A nice weather to rest, chit chats and sits around… haha... Everybody was so slacky when Jen was not around...
20/10/2010
L was on MC again… Jen will be on leave for the next 3 days, so we all can slack abit… haha… CY2 was out of office to coordinate for the NTS exam since 12pm, so the whole office was very quiet… I almost dozed off after lunch, really eyes closing and almost sleep on my desk that kind… Can you imagine that… haha…
The haze was very heavy, almost every buildings you see were blur… Can even smell the burning smell… Nose was abit blocked, throat was abit dry, a slight cough as well… Not sure this heavy haze will cause how many people to fall sick…
L was on MC again… AG told me that L sent her the Admin minutes yesterday evening and AG told me that she suspected that L had already planned to take MC to do her wedding stuff…
I was abit angry with CY2 due to the Convocation letters… That time he proceed to print and sent to the GDFM tutors I already dun care, now he received a call from one of the graduands saying that he didn’t receive the letter… Guess what CY2 told that doctor? He said he need to check when the letter was sent out as we sent in batches… When he approached me to ask about this, I told him straight in the face that we all folded, pasted stamps and sent out the entire batch of invitation letters together on 8 Oct, why was he telling the doctor that we sent in batches… He kept quiet and walked off…
After awhile, CY2 received another call from another doctor asking if we received his fax on the RSVP… CY2 didn’t check the fax and told the doctor that we didn’t receive, RT heard this while walking past the fax machine and commented to CY2 “dun anyhow say without checking, this is his RSVP reply, we just received the fax”, CY2 then told the doctor that we received…
Very what right?
I was tired & wanted to sleep early, didn’t go and take a look at how’s the reno going on…
Today is the 1st day of house reno and WK told me that we kena complaint bcos of the noise level of the hacking due to exam period now… But he said no need to worry since his company had gotten the HDB permit…
Due to a minor change in the design of the house, we will be charged a small amount for the additional 4 items… I am very particular in the terms & items stated in the quotation so I called WK to clarify on the additional items… My another concern is the hacking of the left wall by the kitchen entrance, so W told me that he will only ask his worker to hack that wall after we had gotten permit from HDB…
I was on half day morning off and wanted to accompany my grandma for breakfast as usual as I was overly busy and missed having breakfasts with her for the past 2 weekends… I sms-ed my 叔叔to ask him to help inform my grandma that I will be going over ot her house shortly… After awhile, my叔叔 called and said that today is my grandma’s bday and that she wants to cook 面线 eat… I was shocked that I totally forgotten about my grandma’s bday!!! So you can see that I am really very busy with the wedding and the new house lately that I had forgotten a lot of things… Therefore, I last min arranged a dinner at 8pm to celebrate her bday where the whole family will be present…
After the breakfast, I brought my pa to CGH for his acupuncture session as well as the speech therapy appt… The therapist said my pa had slight improvement and suggested him to go for a throat xray to review if he really improves in his swallowing…
After reaching home at 12.45pm, I changed into my working attire and went to work… On the way at int, I bought vegetarian lunch for AG & myself then we eat in office…
After work, I rushed back home and bought a coffee cake at Bangawan Solo while on the way… I gave grandma an angbao after the dinner opposite her house… She insisted not to take but I insisted to give her as a token so she got no choice but to keep… haha…
After the cake cutting, we all went home and rest…
I can sense that my grandma was delighted that the whole family was able to be present for the dinner as initially she only intended to have the dinner with my 叔叔, 姑姑 and姑丈 bcos she doesn’t want to trouble us to wheelchair my pa… Anyway, the dinner was just so nearby and we all just take it as another family gathering…
I bought breakfast for dar at his house, then we went to choose the new house’s wall & floor tiles for kitchen, living, bedrooms & toilets by WK’s car… After that, WK drove us to Balestier to buy kitchen n toilet accessories which cost us closed to $2k… Next was the buying of lightings for entire house at $600+… Really broke liao…
Everything ended at about 2.30pm where dar & I had our late lunch at Velocity Square, Novena… After that, we rushed down to Chinatown to meet his parents and my mother to enquire and shop for some wedding stuff… We went to 2 shops opposite People’s Park Complex and snacks at one of the café inside OG building…
After resting for awhile, we moved on to Hong Lim hawker side to continue shopping… We stopped at one shop and dar saw the same set of mattress covers which he saw at People’s Park so we decided to buy that set together with the comforter… My mother paid for it as traditionally, the bride’s side will have to buy and return as a gift to the groom’s side…
We were tired so we decided to take CT18 back to Bedok where dar’s parents wanted to continue shopping… However, we met each other again at the bus stop and thus sat together in the bus… Dar’s mother kept talking to my mother and we did overheard some contents from the row in front where dar & I were sitting… Dar helped to carry the set of heavy mattress covers to my house before both of us went for dinner (Long John Silver) at Bedok int… I can sense that my mother was abit unhappy but I do not know the actual reasons why (I guess it might be some thing which dar’s mother told her?)… When I reached home, my mother seemed alright liao… So I guessed she must be tired, so I also didn’t ask much…
Dar & I had our pre-wedding photo shootings today :)
10.15am:
reached JHC for make-up and hairdo, changed into kua and took studio photos
I went for waxing beauty treatments at Katong yesterday… After that, I slowly walked to Parkway for a drink while sourcing for a red shirt for dar and a 2-way cake for myself for photo shootings
Just now, I had another session of beauty treatment: manicure & pedicure… I was late for the appt, so I didn’t have dinner and hunger till 9pm… Luckily the venue was just opposite my house, so I ate straight after I reached home…
CY2 is really very the strange… When it is official matters, he gave his hp num to doctors… When it is personal matters, he used office phone to make calls…
RT was in bad mood, even when we tried to talk to him, he also didn’t answer us…
I was so sleepy, sian & no mood to work… sigh…
We were having lunch when L walked in and informed us about her ROM on 23 Oct... She also gave us the invitation cards… After that, we were all discussing about what to wear and how to go to the venue (it’s at Sentosa Palawan Beach)… On her invitation card, her ROM website was also stated…
I applied leave for 22 Oct afternoon and attached the CGH prescription as proof that I will be bringing my pa for botox injection… Before that I already checked with Jen that L is not taking any annual leave on that day as it is just one day before her ROM… Jen said so far L didn’t apply for 22 Oct and she nly applied for 26 Oct… However, Jen commented softly that she just worried that L will take urgent leave or MC on that day… No special reason but mainly bcos Jen herself is on leave, CY2 will be out for NTS exam and then I will be taking half day afternoon leave…
I hate the way CY2 talk especially his talking patterns are “yes yes”, “thks thks”, “ok ok”, sometimes he even talk back (Jen also kept commenting on this) when he overlooked something…
13/10/2010
8.15pm:
I met dar at our new house while waiting for WK to come… We finally signed the reno agreement and the reno work will officially start on 19/10/10 :)
Looking forward to our new house after the reno :D
13/10/2010
CY2 acted as if he knew about dismentling PC, somemore he still commented saying that the unit that he pointed to was the harddisk, I told him that was the power supply… For a few occasions, he also showed that he was aggressive, to certain extend his reaction was so fake & big when doing work… For an example, he received an email then he will “ohhh haha” so loud as if he want to let people know any thing…
After lunch and the Admin meeting, Auntie C came to deliver a medical book to Prof, CY2 just play a fool & act arrogant bcos Auntie C is his aunt (mother’s sister)… Any big deal?
12/10/2010
2.30pm:
I was on half day afternoon leave to bring my pa to CGH for his Physio therapy, acupuncture session and the rehab med assessment appt
4.45pm:
After the rehab med appt, I went to the CGH Pharmacy as instructed by the doctor to reserve the botox prescription which pa will be using on nxt Friday… I also checked out the payment mode for the botox injection: 85% medisave + 15% cash
8.00pm:
Finalizing WK’s quotation for reno and to sign on next day, Dar’s parents also came… We need to prepare 5% deposit as part of the agreement
12/10/2010
CY2 emailed whole office to update on APPCRC which I got nothing to say, but for matters not relating to everybody in office he also send to all, sometimes really cannot stand him… He really duno when to do wat…
AG’s office CPU was spoilt and couldn’t even boot, so I configured the spare Compaw laptop for her temp use 1st, I called Dell technical support to enquire on the extended warranty… I went to update Jen about this, she also duno whether to extend the warranty as it is quite expensive… I told her if dun extend warranty to repair then might want to consider to DIY one CPU just like RT’s, she was quite stressed with accounts & council mtg stuff thus she sounded sterned
10/10/2010

02.00pm:
Dar & I went to JHC straight after visiting dar’s grandma… Bought along the final fittings items such as my new silver 3.5” wedding shoes, Dar’s shirts, ties and new shoes… After the fittings was done at 3.30pm, we took a bus to Bugis to have our late lunch at Mos Burger
4.45pm:
Went to facial treatments with Dar at Far East Shopping Centre… It’s a 1+1 promo where each of us only paid $28… Dar even went to use their spa facilities and took a bath there… haha
08.30pm:
We took train to Paya Lebar to have dinner then want to Aero Furnishings to take a look at the sale… Ended up, we bought a Q size bed + mattress and of course a wardrobe total to $3k+… Dar was stressed as he needs to pay for the reno and also this credit card bill… In fact, I was very affected by his reaction… Maybe in the 1st place we shouldn’t rush into the wedding and made our life difficult… Not sure if it is a right choice… I was quite upset bcos I didn’t save up much to help in the financial part… sigh…
9/10/2010

8/10/2010
CY2 went to print the Convocation invitation letters for my GDFM tutors without telling me… This task was assigned to me by Jen when she did the task list for everyone… I was thinking in my heart: Since he liked to do people’s work, I also dun care, he wana do then let him do all he want… When Jen heard that he had printed out the latters, she asked him if he had let her vetted liao, CY2 still ask her back “dun have meh?” Then Jen was abit speechless and pretended to beat him as punishment…
I emailed Marina Bay Golf Course to request for use of premises for our outdoor wedding shootings…
7/10/2010
Dar told me that his mother wanted to go buy the 4-piece jewellery on Sat and wanted me to go along to choose... Not sure if she will bring up the unhappiness again, anyway I can't run away from this since we will be staying at the same block (lucky not same unit)...
So I had already prepared myself that I will just have to bear with whatever she will say on that day (if any)... For me, if she didn't mention it again, I will not mention it also, else I do not know if there will be anoher unhappiness...
If I tell u that I don't put it to heart, it's a lie... Normal people will still rem the unhappiness that happened bcos the affair is supposed to be a happy event but it became a spoilspot... It should be an once-in-a-liftime happy affair, now it left an unhappy mark there which will take time to forget...
I don't like people to confront me or to vent anger at me without valid reasons, especially if he/ she does not respect me as a human... I am not a dog, I have my own thinking and the way I want my wedding to be... I don't care whether that person is at bad mood or purposely pick on me, please look at yourself if you have the rights to do so before you action...
Just hope to get over and done with for this wedding... To certain extend, I feel happy but to certain extend it is causing me stress, unhappiness and tired (mentally & physically)...
7/10/2010
Perhaps I am just too stressed recently that I dreamt of being "chased" by a cockroach on my bed and I 被吓醒... :(
----------------------------
I told AG they all during lunch about my dream and they laughed at me... AG said she was also dreaming that she was being chased by a octopus and she went to buy 4D on it bcos her godfather said will strike... She still curse and swear bcos she bought the number for 1mth then said that this kind of dream where will so accurate...
We were talking about the Convo and the APPCRC... Jen said there shouldn't be much IT or AV stuff to do for the APPCRC at Gallery Hotel, then I jokingly said that I can sit around and watch... She then said since I did a good job to settle the Starhub bills, she will assign me to oversee the receiption table which RT and AG will be assigned to handle the attendance and payment...
Anyway, she has not finalise the task list and role responsibilities for Convo and APPCRC yet... As we all know and were told that our year end bonus will much depends on these 2 events, so we must work hard and prevent any cock ups on that 3 days...
6/10/2010
Jen updated me that College will grant 2 days of marriage leave to L and myself for each of our wedding :D
So I can save on my annual leave to bring my father for his therapies liao...
----------------------------
Trying to DIY to dye my hair instead of going to the salon... Tried once with my small sis on 2 Oct, but it doesn't work as the colour was not very obvious... I bought Sweet Pink for 1st time...
I tried the 2nd time on my own with Grossy Brown and it turned out to be slightly coloured but not very obvious especially on the hair end :(
6/10/2010
The moment I stepped into the office, Jen showed me the 2 pieces of left-overnight printout (from the printer) and gave me a weird expression... It's L who printed the 2 pieces of paper stating her solerminisation date & programme sheet for 23 Oct... Jen then commented that she tot L's wedding is on 6 Nov... Then I said maybe her ROM is on 23 Oct follows by her wedding on 6 Nov? Then Jen passed the 2 pieces of paper to AG, AG was also giving me a weird expression and asked me what she needed to do with the 2 pieces of paper? So we decided to put on the 2 paper on L's desk and pretended we never seen them...
During the Admin mtg, Jen was going through the Convo flow with Dr P when CY2 interrupted Jen and talked about last year's flow... I was thinking in my heart that he only joined here in May 2010, what the heck he knew about 2009 Convo and somemore commented so much as if he knew every single thing that happened last year... Really cannot stand him...
Jen wanted me to help RT on the Starhub bills after I suggested to list out all the service ID into columns and state the bills which we had paid so that it will be easier for us to debate with Starhub... I did the calculated and also explained to Jen & RT on the columns which I had done... They fully understand what I was trying to explain and also convinced, thus Jen immediately called Starhub and asked for waiver...
5/10/2010
After collecting the tickets, I slowly took bus to Paya Lebar Mrt then to Bugis to pray... I bought vegetarian rice from Bugis and slowly took bus 12 back to office...
Reached office at 1.30pm and ate my lunch while checking mails... CY2 sent a couple of emails and all forwarded to whole office including those emails not involving most of us... I jokingly told him that no need all emails needed to forward to everybody one, then he said since he was forwarding the emails, then might as well shun bian send to all... I really got nothing to describe him... Sigh...
5/10/2010
Went to collect the Detective Dee's free movie tickets & poster @ Scorpio East Building :D
Was worried that I missed the timing which the redemption sms stated that the collection timing was Mon-Fri, 9am-12pm & 2pm-6pm, I took a cab to the building which costed me $6.40... Although I paid $6.40 for the cab fare, but I still benefit bcos 2 tickets for watching movie on weekends will already cost $20...
5/10/2010
Brought my father to polyclinic for blood test bcos the previous results showed that my father's glucose was abit high so the doctor wanted him to take blood test again...
We reached the polyclinic early at about 8.45am and the lab was soooo overly crowded! No choice but to wait for our turn... An unexpected incident happened and I was damn pissed off and wrote a comnplaint... Initially I wanted to send to Singhealth Polyclinic and MOH, however I couldn't find any email address of MOH, thus only send the email to Singhealth Polyclinic... Following is the content of the complaint email:
On 24 September 2010, I accompanied my father for his usual blood tests at Bedok Polyclinic as requested by the doctor in-charge. One of the laboratory assistants called for my father’s queue number. As my father was wheelchair-bound, thus having to squeeze into the room was a challenger, so usually we will wait outside the room for his name.
My father was being served by one of the laboratory assistants (a young Malay guy with glasses) and when he tried to extract blood from my father’s arm, he couldn’t manage to do so and at the same time making my father in pain. I think that this is totally unacceptable of a laboratory assistant and definitely not a professional one!
The laboratory assistant pulled out the syringe and inserted the same syringe on the same spot of my father’s arm trying to extract the blood, and again he was not able to. At that moment, he commented angrily saying “Your father kept moving, I can’t extract the blood, you ask the doctor to do it”. If it is because of his lack of skills in extracting blood, which is a basic skill one will expect of a laboratory assistant, he has no right to make such comments at the patient’s family, not to mention his rudeness and attitude!
From my understanding, once the syringe was being pulled out from the patient’s arm, it should not be injected as it might be exposed to germs. The laboratory assistant should have used a new syringe instead.
Secondly, as a professional on frontline, he should not make such comment in front of the patients and family members. He could have seek assistance from his colleagues sitting next to his workdesk for advice if he is new.
Thirdly, I feel that he is not skillful in terms of extracting blood from patients and this need to be look into, and is absolutely unacceptable and uncalled for. No family will like to see his loved ones’ arm be pricked twice for the unnecessary pain.
On 5 October 2010, I accompanied my father for a 2nd blood test as instructed by the doctor. My father’s name was being called so we proceeded into the laboratory room. This time round, my father was again being served by the same male Malay laboratory assistant and I had rejected it. However, I was told by the Chinese female laboratory assistant at the counter that I can’t choose the laboratory assistant I wanted, so I had no choice but to let my father “suffered” again from the same laboratory assistant who extracted his blood.
After the extraction, the male Malay laboratory assistant told us to wait outside for ECG. However from my understanding, the doctor as well as the laboratory form did not state that my father needed to do an ECG.
Awhile later, the laboratory assistant at the counter called for my father’s name again and asked us to go into the room, so I asked her what else do my father needed to do. She told me that my father have not gone for blood test inside yet. I was very shocked and told her that my father already went in for his blood extraction. I followed her into the laboratory room to have a check.
Upon hearing that my father had already done the blood test, the male Malay laboratory assistant was in shock and quickly went over to the box to retrieve the bottles/ syringes that contained the blood for investigating. He just stapled the plastic bag containing the 2 bottles with the laboratory form without even checking with me for my father’s name. I strongly believe that one of the procedures for clinics and laboratory (before extracting the patients’ blood) is to double check the patients’ names before starting any procedures on the patients. Shouldn’t this be done? In this case, why didn’t the male Malay laboratory assistant check for my father’s name to prevent this kind of incident from happening. Personally, I feel that this issue is very serious. How do we as family members of the patients be assured of the accuracy of the laboratory results? The lab test is the basis of any follow up and cannot definitely not be taken lightly nor be confused with other doubt that the bottles might even be messed up.
I am in doubt with the polyclinic’s laboratory procedures. I do not know if there were incidents that happened like this before and cannot even imagine that it can ever happen when Singapore is selling proud of having exceptional medical facilities and professional medical team!! Proper training of professionals and handling of patients’ laboratory investigations related work should be very accurate to the point and allow for not a single point of doubt. What if the result is messed and the wrong prognosis and follow up is carried out as a result? Who is then going to bear all the repercussions, maybe even fatal ones?
I hope the management can investigate and give me a reasonable explanation on the procedures done by the male Malay laboratory assistant. And I hope the management can look into the professionalism & skills of the nurses/ frontline staff to ensure that proper procedures are done to patients. We will like to hear the accuracy of the results and seriously, I cannot trust the results again. If the result has a large variance from the previous results, we will definitely pursue this further with higher authorities. Who can accept such mistake to put the patient in a disadvantageous position and pain once again!
Appreciate your prompt attention and reply to this please.
Thank you.
-------------------------------------
On the way back home after the blood test, we encountered some frustrated issues like overly crowded lift and cyclists who kept ding-ing us on the pedestrian walkway... I even turned back and told them off "this is for people to walk, not to cycle!"...
4/10/2010
Called Dell customer service to check on the hardware failure of AG's PC... I was so pissed off with the way they answered my enquiry... Even giving them office number, they also doubt the number and asked if that's a Penang or KL phone number... I told them it's a Singapore number and they still told me the number starts with 62 should be Malaysia number... I was so fed up... Perhaps bcos of the unhappiness issue which happened that affected my mood... But work is still work, I still need to do what is needed...
--------------------------------------------
Met up with another reno contractor which we felt them sincere, however the ultimate will still depends fully on the quotations they can offer...
After the discussion with the contractor, dar & I went to Eunos CC to have a drinks and also minor discussion on our wedding matters... We just hope to settle the reno fast so that our new house will be on time for the 安床... Praying hard that we can find a suitable & sincere reno company that can match closely to our budget and can complete the work on time...
3/10/2010
Unhappiness happened early in the morning that I had never expected it... At that moment, I was abit pissed off but out of respect, I was still trying to control myself not to say anything too much...
If it is meant to be a happy affair, then certain words should not be said to affect anybody's mood and spoilt the happy event... No matter how unhappy a person is towards anything relating to the event, he/ she should know where he/ she stands and whether confronting the other party is appropiate...
Like what people always used to say: Getting married is not a 2-person affair, it's a 2-families affair... There is nothing in this world that can please everyone, why can't we just have a say in how we want to organise the event... A very simple affair is becoming very complex with people keep adding terms in... I don't know what to do, but to follow what the seniors say...
To squeeze a 1-year preparation affair into 2.5-month period is not that easy as what you imagine... Tired is the best word to describe, we are both very exhausted by the amount of matters to handle, physically and mentally drained...
--------------------------------
Met up with 5 reno contractors at our new house to discuss on the design which we want... It's so tiring to arrange all 4 to come on the same day (of course at different timings) but we got no time to waste bcos the house has to be completed in reno by 21 Nov...
Hope the reno work will start smoothly and completed on time nicely...
2/10/2010
Dar & I did a window shopping at Fast East Shopping Centre from the top level to the basement level still couldn't find the shoes we wanted... Finally we passed by a shop called D & C and bought a pair of shoes each at quite reasonable prices... Dar bought a pair of black formal shoes and I bought a pair of grossy silver high heel shoes of about 4"...
So happy that we managed to buy the shoes which we wanted at the last minute before all the shops closed bcos we need to bring the shoes to JHC to let Jess see if the shoes match our wedding gowns & suits...
:D
2/10/2010
Accompanied my 叔叔 to Lusumu for a health screening after the last time which I "dragged" him and my 姑姑 to do one 2 years ago... The process was quite fast, about 20min and completed...
I helped my mother to make facial appt at Simei and also accompanied her there... I waited and roamed in the Eastpoint for 1.5hr while my mother had her facial treatment... I went to source for a harddisk external casing, high heel shoes, AAA rechargeable batt for cordless phone and the dye hair thingy...
Out of all these items, I couldn't even find suitable one at all! Haha...
When my mother was done with her facial treatment, we went for a late dinner at the NTUC kopitiam... After that, we went to Bedok int to buy my dye hair thingy and I dyed my hair... No obvious changed in colour after the dying was done!!! Wasted money liao :(
1/10/2010
My mother went for a 1-day trip to Malacca with my ah yi... She left house very early in the morning when I was still asleep...
I proceed to work in the morning and took half day afternoon off to bring my father to Polyclinic to take medicine...
--------------------------------------
Was abit frustrated with CY2 and his behaviour... He said he left office at 10pm the night before bcos he got sooo much work to do (which was none of my business), then he also went around telling people that he left late and then he got no key to lock the office door (which was none of my business too)... I just cannot stand his behaviour...
Now, he will keep everybody in the loop whether the emails concerned you or not, he will just forward to the whole office (6 of us)... My frustration was, when he forward emails, he only forward what he wrote and not what the receiver replied... So in this case, we wun know what other parties replied...
------------------------------------
Was so pissed off with the Polyclinic procedures... I was at Room 14 making CGH appt for my father to see the Rehab Medicine doctor and I received a call (a malay lady) from the Payment counter to ask me why I didnt' collect my father's medicine... I told her that I was at Room 14 making hospital appt and will be there shortly, she started to nag at me and said that why I only make payment for the consultation and not the medicine.... I tried to explain to her that the kiosk was not able to retrieve the medicine cost thus I only make payment for consultation 1st... Then I told her off and said I will definitely go over to settle the bill and collect the medicine...
We waited for awhile before the medicine was ready... The payment counter also cocked up when I wanted to make payment, the same malay lady told me that she cancelled the bill thus had to retrieve again so I was made to wait again...
-----------------------------------
Went to our new house to meet up with reno contractor at 8pm... I bought dinner for my father before I left house... My 2nd sis bought dinner for my small sis as well as the maid, so I met dar for dinner... I suggested to buy vegetarian bee hoon to our new house to eat :)
The feeling was good when you can actually have dinner at your own house even when the house is not fully ready for move in yet...
30/9/2010
Too tired and went to sleep at 10pm the night before...
Nothing much to do at work...
Was standby-ing at home to update a webpage at 2359pm, it's the Paypal section which is under the APPCRC website... RT needed to change the amount and my job was to verify the website to ensure the amount was correct...
29/9/2010
Hooray! TP has granted us permission to shoot our bridal photos in the premises :D
So happy!!! Lalala...
------------------------
I received a sms saying that I had won 2 movie tix for Detective Dee acted by Andy Lau :D
So lucky rite... Haha... So happy...
29/9/2010
CY2 showed his stun again by showing Prof the convation letters which he had drafted... Convo is a big event and it's a team work event where everybody is given some tasks to complete by the date... He showed Prof the letters during the Admin meeting meant that he wanted to show as if he is doing the event by himself and get credits...
As for me, I also drafted 2 letters for approval before I could mass print... I passed to Jen to show to Prof for approval instead of me showing Prof myself...
CY2 is always like that... Even for APPCRC, he also treat it as if it is his own portfolio... Same for Convo now, he wanted to do all the work alone... But please loh, how much you know about the event and how many hands you have... Even when Jen asked him if he needed help, he will everytime said dun need and just do all by himself... Trying to earn more credits? Trying to show the rest of us that he did more work or he can work better than us? Well well...

Dar had emailed to 8 renovation contractors which we found on HDB website on Sat night... I emailed to another 8 renovation contractors to request for quotations as well as to ask them to come for site visit before they give us the quotes...
I also emailed to Temasek Polytechnic (TP) to request to use the premises for our photo shootings... TP is the place where dar & I met each other 10 yrs ago during our studies, so it is a significant memory for both of us therefore we hope that we can go there for our bridal outdoor shootings...

We had arranged for 2 reno contractors to meet up at our new house on Thursday...
I didn't have much work to do in office, however I secretly do some personal stuff without letting other people know...
Before meeting dar, I went to Waterloo temple to pray and also to look around for a pair of 4.5" high heel shoes for our wedding... Jess told me to buy a pair of silver shoes to match the 5 gowns which I had chosen...
Dar & I went to visit dar's gma and also to inform her our wedding date... She seemed abit happy but we just worried about her health... Anyway, we will still wish to fulfill her wish and hopefully she will stay healthy till then...

I was working today on a Saturday... The venue was at NUS CRC from 1.30pm to 5.30pm... As usual, Garry and I took a cab from College to NUS and reached there 1 hr before the start of the course... Prof was there earlier than us and preparing the ppt slides...
After the tea-break, Garry and I went over to the NUH to buy some snacks for late lunch... I bought 2 tins of potato chips at $3.50... haha...
The course ended at about 5.15pm and we took a cab back to College... I settled some stuff and left office... Reached home at about 6.30pm, ate my dinner at home, bath and went to meet dar for movie [Legend Of The Fist: The Return Of Chen Zhen]...

Brought my pa to polyclinic for a blood test as instructed by the doctor (Dr STS)... There was this malay male polyclinic lab assistant who cant managed to extract blood from my father's arm and somemore injected the syringe twice then commented "i cant do it, ask the doc to do!"... @#%&$%#@%
I was so pissed off bcos pa was in great pain and kept moving... I told the lab assistant off "last time the other female lab assistant can do it, why you can't! Then let the other lab assiatant do lah..." Then he went to ask the female lab assistant if the blood extracted was enough, the female lab assistant shaked the syringe and told him it's enough, then he replied to me and said can go...
I was so fed up and wanted to write in and complain to Singhealth about this malay male lab assistant and his bad attitude...
Pa was hungry and having flu so we faster pushed him home and my mother went to buy lunch for him downstair...
I slowly make my way to Royal Plaza on Scotts to meet Anica they all for our monthly secretariat lunch... I was having bad flu the moment I walked out of the Mrt and on the way to the lunch venue...

AG told us that she received a letter from HDB saying that they can go select the BTO flat at Punggol... However she mentioned that if it's only left with level 2 or 3 then she is going to give it a miss... But based on my MANY experiences on applying for BTOs, I strongly encourage her to just select whatever unit that is available no matter on which level...
