3 days to a week

That's how long the CNY holidays were. Funny it seemed much longer before it began, and now there's only one day left. I've accomplished most things I wanted to do during the holidays, except work. Didn't touch it at all.

Got good news over reunion dinner. Cousin's wife is 1 and a half month's pregnant. I'm gonna be Auntie Angela ! Imagine that huh.

These days I've been excited about organizing Yee Joo's wedding. I don't know why. And it's not even in the process yet.

Well I guess I do know why. I was inspired by this.

And this.

Pardon me MsRedd and Sonia (if you happen to be reading this) for the lack of permission.

I long for that feeling of seeing her walk down the aisle with tears trickling down my cheek.

Ok, back about CNY, today's karaoke totally rocked hard. And we certainly had fun during our Glee marathon. Even the aunties enjoyed it too. That's a first.

Kinda disappointed today though. Was supposed to hang out with the BC. But the plan got canceled. Anyways, hanging out at my cousin's now, and watching My Sister's Keeper for the second time, kinda feel like crying. It's so touching.

Well, till next time. Ciaoz !

Minute worries

Today I feel like ... a kid, particularly during my primary years, when I couldn't remember the multiplication table (the 11 & 12 multiples especially) and it was almost my turn to recite it to my teacher ...

I received an email today indicating that my leaves in June were disapproved due to incomplete submission. I already knew the reason why. You see, it's the policy of my firm that any application of leaves for more than 3 days would require 3 approvers: the verifier (admin personnel), the scheduling manager and the partner. And that is if you are not already booked for a job. If you are, add in another approver: the engagement manager.

As you can see, getting a week's of leave approved would take some time. So in order to escape the bureaucracy, I staggered my leave application. I applied for two days of leave in one day, waited for a few days or a week to pass and put in another application for another 2 days.

Well, my plot wasn't successful. (but it was last December, I got 2 weeks of leave) The manager discovered my plot and has requested to see me. Couldn't see her today as I wasn't at the office. So I instant-messaged her, but she wouldn't discuss the matter over the net and has insisted to see me.

So now my Chinese New Year is officially doomed. Can't stop the lingering thoughts of what she might have to say. And what if my leaves doesn't get approved ? I've already bought my tickets to Melbourne. And it's like something I'm really looking forward to. Arghhhh ...

Anyways, it's my entitlement what. Plus, I've bought the tickets and applied for the leaves 6 months before the date and even before I'm booked for any job. So should be ok lah ...

Worry No.2 : My ACCA ! Result's coming out end of this month. I really hope I wouldn't fail. Retaking the test would be painful and expensive !

I raised my voice on my colleague yesterday. He is just super irritating. Always act as if he's a know-it-all. And then he wants to review my work, when he's not even my senior ! We're of same rank but he joined much earlier. And bloody hell said that I did it wrongly when he was actually mistaken. It was such joy to correct and having him admit his mistake. Muahahaha.

Ok I must admit that he is much more experienced than I am but his attitude is totally unbearable. Even the client's irritated with him.

But aih, I should have been more patient. Now I have to worry about what my other colleagues would think of me.

I really need to shut up

I don't know why, but these days I'm extremely blunt. I really do speak my mind. Just when those words are blurted out of my mouth, I find myself shocked to have said that.

I really need to shut up. Oh please stop in time before thoughts turn into words !

On a lighter note, Chinese New Year's just around the corner. Haven't got any new clothes, guess I'd just have to put on something red.

Looking forward to Ang Paus.

This was what she had to say about me

There are many things that I disapprove of. One of those is my sister going off to study in Australia. It's just that my parents can't afford it and that it would place a great deal of a financial burden on them.

Anyhow, my Yesman father said yes. The plan was for her to do her final year over at Tasmania. But I have recently come to find out that she now has plans to go over earlier, that is to complete her final two years of degree in Aussieland.

I decided that I would not argue anymore. And so I kept mum about the issue.

Today Dad forwarded me a message that went like this:

'Hey Dad, what we talked about the other day concerning the early transfer thing can u not bring it up during reunion when sis is around. Keep it between us ya. Thanks.'

'Dad, ur going to subject me to HELLISH days at home if we bring it up in the present. She won't understand. Let me figure things out first. I thing it's best that only after everything's confirmed i.e. I can find the most viable option of paying everything then we'll discuss with her.'

I didn't know that I'm capable of subjecting people to hellish days.

Multitude

Alright short one so that I could start my day early tomorrow.

Work is piling up and there's nothing I can do about it ! Bloody client is understaffed and has no time to entertain me. And I need to finish everything before Chinese New Year, which is near to impossible as we too are understaffed and without someone experienced enough to lead us.

Aaaarghh ... That's how I feel.

Client's place is super far. I've gotta refill petrol every 3 days and that's RM 45 once.

Ok, enough ranting. Have you guys been listening to Redfm ? If you have, you'd be sure to have heard about the game 'Word up'. It has been on for the longest time ever and the cash reward had actually snowballed to an astounding RM 17 k.

All you have to do is guess who's the celebrity who said the word 'blog' in the audio played. Each day RM 100 would be added if no one got it right. So who was the mysterious celebrity ?




Ah ... 17k ... so much I could do with it ....


On another note, though I had to work today (on a public holiday !!!), I found myself smiling through the journey to work. Somehow, scenes of my karaoke session with the Bitches kept replaying in my head.

Sweet Dreams ... or Beautiful Nightmare ....
