Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitutes for tendereness.

:: Tension of Opposites ::

2011-12-20T11:52:00.001+08:00

Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet youknow it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted

A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of uslive somewhere in the middle

痛！

2011-07-16T17:12:00.002+08:00

肚子突然之间痛了起来。那一样的痛已经很久没来找我。。不知是肚子是知道我在等着，不想我一直看电视所以就痛了。但是，这个肚子一痛就痛一个小时多！坐也不是，躺也不是。去了厕所好几次，但什么都没出来，还一直疼痛！时间不知不觉就这样过去但还是一直痛。痛到我哭了起来，脚都无力去看医生，还吃了药，但还在痛。我以为我就这样去了。还好，不知是因为肚子说不要和我玩，在我们两个小时的震痛，分分秒秒的开战，它离开了。嗨！我真的很不想它又来找我打战。。。

人生之得
當以知識之得為得
當以智慧之得為得
當以美好的親情、愛情、友情之得為得
勿不勞而獲勿貪得無厭
人生會遇到太多的誘惑
不懂“舍”棄就只能在誘惑的漩渦中喪生
人生有太多的欲求
不懂“舍”棄就只能任欲求牽著鼻子走
人生有太多的無奈
不懂“舍”棄就只能與懮愁相伴
坦然面對得失
需要一顆平常之心
一顆淡然之心
一顆感恩之心
一顆博愛之心
這樣才會快樂
才能得到幸福
擇自：舍得

:: simply hate long wkends ::

2009-08-10T22:21:00.008+08:00

as when i grow older, i hate long wkends. seems wierd? no is not and i happened to know some frens have the same feeling as me. Since when i was in sec sch, bad things keep happening during those wkends. i didnt say always... but usually bad things will happen in those public holidays esp. you can say me superstitous or u can just tell me off is just coincidence!

for instance:
- my aunt passed away decade ago on one of the hari raya
- my paternal grandma passed away 7yrs ago during national day eve.
- dad had his operation last yr to remove a lump on his back due to stupid doc in polyclinic give wrong instructions. actually is just infection but since we at A&E then, we decided to do operation.
- and this year! dad had another operation on the 7th Aug as after the treatment the tongue didnt seems small thus need to make the tongue smaller. lucky is a small operation and he has discharged within 2days. but worries is still there when i reached the same hospital, the same ward 2days ago. Nah, that not the main point. On sat morning, we went to temper to respect my paternal grandma. Realised 2 aunts are not there and who knows 1 of the aunt hospitalisd cos of eye surgery and another aunt's husband hospitalised too! somemore already in hospital for a mth. oh my gosh! what happen??? why suddenly so many ple hospitalised. After chatting, mum decided to "drop by" see 2nd aunt's husband since is the same hospital. As u know lah, now is not tat easy to go up to the ward but since we are visting dad, we "drop by" to see him as well. Lucky, things goes well for him too, he discharging soon. :)

Are all these simply coincedence?? hmmm hope so

:: Touching Lives ::

2009-05-29T18:45:00.004+08:00

Touching lives
Just days before 2008 ended, Gwen’s young life was cut short by a congenital
disease. But a belief that the 16-year-old would have wanted to help others even
as death faced her led her parents to donate her organs. To the eight people
who received them, Gwen was the angel who touched their lives – and gave
them the gift of hope as a new year was beginning.

“MUST learn French.”
“Must study in Australia and Europe.”
“Must learn to ski in Korea.”
“Must go holiday in Antarctica and
learn to build igloos and snowmen.”
“Then settle down in Canada.”
The wonders of the world reached
out to Gwen Tan. But the young girl,
poised on the cusp of teenhood, would
not have known that in just another few
years, those dreams would quickly slip
away from her grasp.
On a hot December day last year, the
vivacious 16-year-old, a triple Science
student of a top school, would fi nd herself
suddenly collapsed in a train station,
slipped into a coma, and days later,
was pronounced brain dead.
The cause: Cerebral Arteriovenous
Malformation (AVM), a congenital
disorder that interrupts blood fl ow in
the brain due to abnormal connections
between arteries and veins. In Gwen’s
case, the disorder sent a massive blood
clot to her brain.
Yet the promise of a young life cut
short would not end at death - but has
led to a new beginning for many others.
The belief that Gwen would have
wanted to help others led her parents to
off er her heart, liver, kidneys, lungs and
corneas for donation, giving a new life to
eight people.
The recipients - fi ve men, two women
and a little girl - came from diverse
backgrounds. One was as old as 61 and
the youngest was three. Several were
single, a few were married with children.
Some had waited for years. The two men
who received her kidneys each waited over
seven years, while the child – born with a
rare life-threatening condition – waited
one-and-a-half years.
Th e lung recipient was able to sit
upright, a day after his operation,
smiling and waving to visitors. Th e
split liver transplant was successful, a
feat not repeated since more than eight
years ago.
“I told myself that everyone has
a mission in life. For Gwen, it is
probably to save that little girl,” said
mother Mrs Tan.
“I believe she would be happy to know
that the act has transformed the lives of
so many people. It was her nature to do
so. She lived her life to the fullest and
that was our consolation.”

AVM silently waiting
Brain AVM often
shows no symptoms
until the tangle of
dilated blood vessels
rupture to cause a
haemorrhage.
On the morning
of Dec 20, mother and
daughter were on a bus.
Mrs Tan showed Gwen
a news article, to which
she replied “You know I
can’t read on the bus. I get a
headache.” Little did Mrs Tan
know that the complaint was to
be her daughter’s last words.
Later on a train, Gwen began
to show signs of discomfort, and
developed a headache. Th e pain seemed
quite severe. “I tried to massage her head
but she stopped me,” said Mrs Tan.
Other than mild childhood asthma
and occasional nosebleeds due to a
thin nose membrane, Gwen had always
seemed healthy. Mrs Tan didn’t feel too
worried at that point, and decided to take
her daughter to a clinic. She was given an
injection and medicine for giddiness and
vomiting.
By the time her husband, an engineer,
arrived at the clinic to take them home,
Gwen was no longer able to see things
clearly.
Her elder sister Jane opened the gate
for her and she bumped against it. “You
can’t see properly ah?’ Gwen just smiled
and went to bed,” said Mrs Tan.
Late that night, Gwen vomited again.

Her parents decided to send her to the
hospital.
A computer tomography (CT) scan
showed a massive blood clot in the left
lower back of her head. Th e doctors
suspected AVM and transferred her to
the intensive care unit at around 1am.
She was hooked up to machines to
induce coma, so as to minimise her brain
activities.
Th e next morning, Gwen had a probe
inserted into her forehead to monitor
intracranial pressure. Doctors said her
condition had stabilised.
But the respite did not last. Overnight,
the pressure shot up. An emergency
procedure was done to remove part of
her skull to relieve pressure on her brain.
Farewell to a well-loved friend
Th e neurosurgeon told Mrs Tan that
part of her left brain was damaged – the
part that controls speech, vision and
psychomotor skills.
Th at afternoon, a senior neurosurgeon
showed them a scan of another abnormal
artery vein at the top of her head. Th e
bed of capillaries connecting the artery
to the vein was not formed.
“According to him, she was like a
walking time bomb. As the high-pressure
blood acts on the vein, the thin wall of the
vein is being stretched. It’s only a matter
of time before it burst,” said Mrs Tan.
Another consultant told them that
Gwen would “be gone” the moment she
was taken off the life support machine.
On Dec 24, Mrs Tan informed Gwen’s
classmates of her critical condition.
An outgoing and sporty student,
Gwen was well-loved by friends. She
played the clarinet for the school band
and trained with the badminton as well
as soccer teams at her secondary schools.
She would sometimes stay up till 1am to
complete her schoolwork, waking up for
school at 6.30am the next day. To top it
off , she occasionally volunteered to tutor
under-privileged kids and for charity
organisations.
“She was a lively, cheerful and
thoughtful person, always remembering
friends’ birthdays, taking care to buy and
wrap gifts, adding a drawing or note,”
her mum said.
Dozens of Gwen’s schoolmates
visited, along with their parents and
teachers, fi lling her hospital room with
cards, presents and a softboard with
drawings and get-well messages. They
prayed hard. They prayed for a speedy
and complete recovery. They prayed
for a miracle to happen.
“Question is not why we donated…”
On Dec 25, the doctors told
the Tans that they had done their
best. Her hormones had become
imbalanced – a sign the brain had
lost its function. The following night,
Gwen was certifi ed brain dead.
As Gwen was under 18 years of
age, she did not fall under either
the Human Organ Transplant Act
(HOTA) nor the Medical Therapy,
Education and Research Act
(MTERA), which allows for organs
to be recovered in the event of death.
It was up to her family to donate
her organs.

“Whenever we hear that a
donor’s organ is available, we
get very excited for our patients
who have been on waiting lists,
some for years. When we’re
activated (for a transplant
surgery), we drop our routine
work to concentrate on the case.
Th e gift of a transplant organ
is second to none for these
patients - their lives are centred
on this one phone call.” - Dr Tan Yu Meng, Surgical
Director, Liver Translant Programme,
Department of General Surgery, SGH

But the thought of removing Gwen’s
organs distressed the family. Th e family
consulted a shifu – a Buddhist nun – and
she explained the nobility of the deed.
“We initially felt that it was too cruel
to remove the organs. A long cut has to
be made from the chest all the way to
the abdomen,” said Mrs Tan.
“But the question is not why we
donated. Rather, it is how we would feel
if we didn’t donate, knowing that many
are suff ering from organ failure. We felt
it was something good that we could do
on Gwen’s behalf.”
The Tans signed the donation papers
on Dec 26 – coincidentally, a day rooted
in the Christian tradition of giving gifts
to the less fortunate.
“As she was wheeled into the
operating theatre, we told her that we
were donating her organs and not to
fear the operation.”
It was only after the procedure that
the family knew that Gwen’s donation
would benefi t eight people.
Cremation was held on a weekday.
Many family members, her classmates,
temple volunteers and well-wishers
crowded into Bright Hill Crematorium
to see her for the last time.
Today, the Tans continue to grieve
their loss. In particular, Mr Tan, who
used to drive Gwen to and from school
every day, misses her greatly. Friends and
neighbours share their grief. “Call me if
you need to talk. I will stop whatever
I’m doing and give you my time,” said
June, a close friend of Mrs Tan.
During the Lunar New Year,
the family went to watch a fi lm, a
yearly routine. “There happened to
be a vacant seat next to my husband.
Filled with emotion, he said the seat
was supposed to be for Gwen,” said
Mrs Tan.
The family is starting to come to
terms with their beloved daughter’s
departure. Mrs Tan who used to have
vivid dreams about Gwen said she is
getting fewer such dreams in recent
months. The family has donated
much of Gwen’s clothes, shoes and
accessories to the Salvation Army but
is reluctant to make changes to her
room. Jane wants to keep her younger
sister’s soft toy piglet and doggie a
little longer.
The family has also grown closer.
Buddhists, they go for chanting
sessions together every Tuesday night
at a nearby temple.
“She was an angel who couldn’t
even kill an ant. We love her very
much. We hope to meet each
again at the Western Paradise.”

*Names were changed at the family’s
request for privacy.

dad unable to eat cos he alot of plegm stuck in his throat.
we bring him to see doc.. and tell doc that his stomach is pain too.
as he has bad uclers, the doc suggest us to go see dentist... but we told him dentist direct us to hospital instead...
i took urgent leave den go national dentist center together with my mum (as i knew she cant handle it esp going to hospital)... we registered as private patient as not referred from polyclinic... no time to tink of all this, we need to settle the stuff and we proceed to register as private.
A lady doc came to see the uclers and ask him to take some xray. Then, she asked other doc to see the xray after it has taken (can see she is new bird..) then followed by a senior doc, Dr Pek. Dad went for a small surgery on tat day to take some sample for them to test. while we are waiting for the operation, Dr Pek came and talked to us... He told us he will bring to his fren there as he suspect sth but cant cfm. Mum was shocked as she can suspect sth nt good. We heard familiar voices, is dad. The doc ask him abt some qns... and we went in. After making the payment and collected the medicines, Dr Pek bring us to see his fren. Mum recognised the road to a place we all dun like, as yrs ago my youngest auntie was there. Mum was agitated when we walked into the building... i just can tell her "to face the fact" if it is instead of cursing and swearing... we went to a room and Dr Pek talked to a doc and direct him to give the letter to Prof Soo. Things getting worst when that Doc talked to me (in english) and i tell him we want a Chinese doc so can explained everything to them, esp my mum... instead of me translatting to her... he told us to come in next day (the soonest if not will be on wed morning) for detailed scanning etc... my mind went blank for that min esp the doc tell me what he suspecting... but then i cant show my weakness esp infront of them... i breathe and listen patiently... but at that sudden, i knew my life has change...

Rat born in: 1924 1936 1948 1960 1972 1984 1996 2008

May be power hungry, petty or greedy, Bright, sociable and highly ambitious. A true opportunist to reach the target. Passionate and good to her lover. Yet likes to gamble and spend lavishly.

The charm of the Rat personality is as universally known and loved as the Walt Disney character, Mickey Mouse. He could be forthright and honest but in such a disarming manner that you find yourself at a disadvantage.

Remarkably easy to get along with, hard working and thrifty, he will be generous only to those he is inordinately fond of, so if you get an expensive gift from him, you should certainly rate yourself high in his esteem. However, in spite of his penny-pinching ways, he will never be found wanting for admirers as he emits such fantastic appeal.

Your Luck In Year 2009
Overall Forecast
The earlier phase of the 2009 is relatively a favourable one for you, especially in relation to wealth matters. Even though illness and sexual stars are present, lucky stars shine collectively to aid those who are brave enough to make proper and committed changes. Thus, where one seize opportunity to develop oneself , this year will be one where you can invest in properties and gain reputation/fame.

Manage your finance prudently. Guard against vile persons. Watch your health. Caution against dangers. Have more tolerance and be more affectionate with regard to love affairs.

Career
A favourable year for you to be entrepreneur, to invest, where things will have a good turnout. Be on guard against vile persons. Avoid gossip circle, do not be too trusty, and rationally discern the words of others. Those who born in the year 1948 and 1960 can have great achievements for this year. Whereas a person born in 1972 can grow exceptionally well due to romance and can also fail miserably due to romance too. The 3rd month is a good time to grab opportunities.

Love
You enjoy a sizzling and affectionate year. Sparks with the opposite gender appear readily, especially for those born in 1972. Seize opportunity when there is any. Married couples have to build up mutual trust and strong affections for each other. Moral discipline have to be upheld nevertheless.

Wealth
Wealth luck is terrific. Joyous star is present to bring much joy, investment gains and wealth both from the proper income and lottery winnings. Opportunity may arise to purchase properties or to move house too. But you have to conserve for raining days. Avoid dark lanes. Secure your valuables well.

Health
Illness star is lucking by to cause you harm. Do not over consume alcohol and cigarettes. Caution on matters regarding blood pressure and the intestines. Take extra care when reaching for stuff stashed high or when on traffic. Hectic social networking tires you.

无言以对如果会后悔
就该学会在爱的时候
用智慧盖一座堡垒
收藏你的美

一进一退流过的眼泪
不算白费谎言和是非
有点累心痛只在回味

月光下我们走过的那条街
当时的手还牵得那么直接
是你不再留恋还是美好终究善变

月光下回忆在我身边穿越
你会不会残留着那感觉
熟悉的体温留下的指纹
别过问

那天凝视你的双眼不说一句的吻你的脸
喔~
谁的出现打断了永远

:: Kota Tinggi Trip 26/07/2008 - 27/07/2008::

2008-07-28T18:36:00.014+08:00

After a mth or so of planning with sock to see fireflies... we finally set a day free and booked 1day at Kota RainForest [http://www.kota-rainforest.com.my] and Ina and Weisiang joining us too.

Sock morning call me at 6am and me as usual rush like mad as need to pack, bath, eat etc... sock give me couple of missed calls when she reached my place(as i've put my hp in silence mode). Ah Lee(the driver) picks us up at our hse and bring us there. Ina and WeiSiang need to settle sth so we wait for them at downstair for half hr... and we didnt inform Ah Lee abt it and he went to take a nap (somewhere near e voik deck) while leaving both of us in the car(having cat fight and arguement! - trying to minimise as much as we can). Everything (include the journey at checkpoint) was smooth... no jam at all. After passing the checkpoint, we went for breakfast in nearby coffeeshop. We had bread, drinks, otah and you-tiao. Ah Lee sit another corner having his breakfast (few bowls of noodles)... he muz be very hungry. Then, he told us we can buy durians back to resort or SG. Yeah! we are so excited after hearing that... and we keep looking for durians stall when we on e way to the resort. After half hr plus of driving, we reached at the resort. After putting our stuff, we went to "resturant" inside the resort to have our lunch. We ordered a plate of fried rice; noodles; 4 chicken wings to share... As e food is very oily, we keep eating the vegetables in the noodles... who knows nightmare came! I picked few vegetables, and i happened to see half worm beside it. Oh my Gosh! Can anyone imagine, 1 of us have eaten the other half or the "juicy intestine" already part of our noodles. We dun make any complain as is at Malayisa i think is quite common for tat to happen :(

After lunch, we went to net fishing. We tried an hr plus catching 4 fishes. Thereafter, we went to waterfall. It is beautiful. We went up and enjoy e cool-ing "spa". The water is so icy that we keep freezing... and we 3 gals stayed half emerged to water while WeiSiang keep swimmming like a fishes. He managed to catch a prawn in the waterfall. Then, i remind WeiSiang to purpose again since sock nv see the clips or heard anything from me yet... and this round he able to catch some fishes. We asked the resort to pick us at 6pm but cos of Sock camera show 6pm while is 530pm! My Gosh... make us waste our half hr there. But lucky there got snack shop and we able to eat tibits. Ha-ha.

During dinner, we had bbq dinner... and me ate alot of fishes(ard 6-7) and gotta "serve" sock for the fish. Whenever i ate the fish, the cat will just sit around me. Arg! Disgusting fellow... make me so gan-chiong. Afraid they will jump over me to snatch the fishes. After dinner, we went to see fireflies. It look like xmas-tree infront of our naked eyes. But some singaporean aunties sit infront of us went to shake the fireflies off from the tree >>> SUCH A CRUEL SCEEN! Lucky, there is an auntie pass us e firefly so we can see and "touch" them in my bare hands! Woo-woah! Such an unforgettable nice time... hopefully can see them again.

We watched the movie show - 21 when it was meant for citibank group staff to watch [within half hr, e citibank group staff all went back to their rooms and enjoy... oli left a grp of kapo, us] with our tibits and "beer".

We even give nicknames for the citibank group like xiaobai, spy, greenman etc... hope i wont c them here...

On sun, we went to Jusco to eat and shop... and we had seafood for dinner. We bought durians (tat cost RM 16 per kg! and each durian like ard 2kg) and i bought 3kg rambutans too.. it was so sweet! and my stupid mum say e durian so-so oli and she dunno it was so exp!

sock even bitten up by sandflies>>>http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/IG081.

2008-06-23T13:54:00.009+08:00

Ever since i heard abt the place abt Redang, i been aiming to go there see the view and holiday.
And now, i really went there with Ina aka Mummy, WeiSiang aka Daddy, DeWei aka Mdm Tan and Yan Li (and 2 MIA ple - QiHua and Mieow Feng due to unwell so unable to go with us)... Horray and here i am at Redang!

19-06-2008, Thursday
Took 3hrs timeoff and went back home to pack my stuff. But when the moment i went back home, i took a nap till 7pm! And i gotta meet the rest at 830pm Lavender mrt control station. Oh no!!! Can guess how i rushed to eat my dinner, pack my stuff, bath etc... Basically i just grab whatever i can see from my table and from my view.
Then, faster take bus to Lavender and meet them.
It was my first time travel with 3 strangers... feels so panic and yet excited. At 9plus, we sat on bus and ahead to checkpoint and to Redang Reef Resort ...
Time passed very slowly. It was cold and quiet esp when he speed and make me feel reluctant to sleep. Eyes close, listening to mp3 and start to fall asleep... i dreamt. A mix scenes but i can’t recalled anything now…

20-06-2008, Friday
After 11hrs of long and cold journey, we reached the Kuala Terengganu Bus station. Thereafter, we were picked up by the Ms Chua (quite a pretty lady with strong Malaysian accent) to office to rest which is ard 10min journey. After putting our bag, we went to have breakfast at a coffeeshop which is just opposite the office. The bread was delicious... (it seems a normal kaya toast bread, but i think we were too hungry then! :p), we ordered a plate of bee hoon too and happily enjoyed having our breakfast, taking pictures and see how the "experts" boiled the eggs, making coffee, milo etc... After breakfast, we went back to office to have a rest and waited for the driver to take us to the ferry. At 11am, we took the boat at Ferry and enjoyed 45mins of ferry ride to our Resort. At 12plus, we reached the resort, having feelings for excitement and excitement***... We had our lunch once we reached the resort and proceed to listen to briefing by Steven. Uncle Steven keep smiling as a group of gals (18yr old mei mei) called him "Handsome Guy"(in dialect). After some stupid briefing, we went back to our room to rest and waited for snorkelling time.
At 2.30pm, there is announcement saying "Snorkelling time". And we hurried went down and meet the rest and there goes my first snorker experience. Wearing the life jacket and goggle.. Adjusting and adjusting the correct posture. After few minutes, there we go to snorkelling. Can imagine u swimming in an peaceful ocean, full of different kinds of fishes, corals etc, birds flying... and a complete silent with jus enjoying in the water. I dunno how to explain the feeling but is awesome! I just love it. Suddenly, just in love with the ocean! The first step to the water is full of mixed feelings... curiosity, anxious, excitement etc...
After the snorkelling trip, we went back to have our tea break. (We seems like a pig - eat, snorkelling, eat snorkelling...) and we went to see baby sharks! Swimming lively underneath and thru our legs... Oooo.. So scared they will bite us. Time pass very fast and is time to eat again. We went back to our room and change a dry clothes b4 we start our dinner. The food they provided is just Ok... i dun think anyone will mind if you are hungry... After dinner, we went to the beaches to stroll and take pictures. Our first stop is Xia Re Mo Mo Cha. Our camera seems never stop flashing and taking the pictures and some movements from the movie seems to be appeared again. We are seems like shooting a movie where there is main actor; actresses; camera man etc watching show; rehearsing; eating; gossiping etc.

21-06-2008, Saturday
Basically just eat and snorkelling twice (one in the morning and the other in e late afternoon). In the late afternoon, an impt and happiest event has happened -'Propose'. No one will expect WeiXiang will think of this day [21-06-2008] which is their anniversary. The 3 of us like busy thinking of ideas and see which the nicest spot is. At last, we tot the sea is the best spot. Isn’t it romantic? Think any gal will say "I Do". Things go smoothly after all even WX never use our whole idea. But slightly use a bit...he purpose at the sea the place where we saw the shark... Oh it was so loving that can accompanied with the happiness by fishes, the group of Kapos (we all, esp me?) and the big ocean to witness the couple.
After dinner, we went to small ktv area which is just next to our dinning area. YanLi and Ina decide to sing for us. But who knows... thunderstorm just come to us when they sang half way. The auntie actions are very cute. Busy keeping her stuff and told us she need to close the store immediately. After saying, there is a BLACKOUT! Oh no... Then we went to our separate ways (rooms) to rest. They (Ina, WeiXiang and DiWei) came to our room as their side is having black out. We played games and the worst part is i always the loser and kanna alot of beatings. Oouch... my poor hand!

22-06-2008, Sunday
Suppose to stay awake to see sunrise... but dunno at what time(ard 2-3am), all start to doze off. Lucky, DiWei managed to wake up at ard 6plus and our phototaking job start again. After all the photo taking, we went to have our breakfast and packing. At ard 10am, we all start to say GoodBye to Redang... and back to office.
We ate our lunch and dinner at the same "restaurant" (a few stores away from the office) and we almost ordered all the food. The food was delicious and amazing i able to eat all those spicy food (basically not that spicy la... if not i sure cant make it. Haha). It was pity that they only open at Malaysia. Hope next yr, when i came over the restaurant is still there. After lunch, we went to supermarket just "hidden" at a corner - The Store. Basically, the guys all grab everything from the shelf and make me pay! (Cos none of them bring extra money) We ate again - one tub of icecream (it seems so sinful as the whole day keep eating. Me seems getting fatter and fatter!) We continue our game at Mac...(The No. 7 game and cards game) while waiting for our bus came at 830pm...

Honesty speaking, is damn fun at Redang. Nice place to relax... and of course with these enjoyable frens ard... Hope we can go there next yr again!

:: When is the best day ::

2008-06-09T16:38:00.001+08:00

The constant demands of office life can make one day seem much like the next. In fact, there is a rhythm to the working week – one that savvy employees can use to their advantage. In a study, psychology professor Debbie Moskowitz of McGill University in Montreal found that “People begin the week all fired up, but as Friday draws nearer they realise they will have to compromise.”

Monday finds office workers more demanding and aggressive, so this is the best day for delegating, organising and setting goals, following your boss’s direction and avoiding conflict.

Tuesday can be the peak day for output and efficiency, although a study by fish4jobs suggests that Tuesday afternoon is the top time for online job-hunting. “We see a spike in traffic just after 3 pm,” says chief executive Joe Slavin.

Wednesday Workers are relaxing into the week, but are not yet exhausted. According to business coach Gladeana McMahon, it’s the best day for creative thinking. “Hold brainstorming meetings and think about the future.”

Thursday Professor Moskowitz thinks “it’s the best day to ask people to do things” because workers are relatively more submissive and open to negotiation. So it might be the best day to ask for a pay rise!

Friday Go carefully – workers take more risks and have more accidents today. It’s a good day to confront colleagues with a grievance, suggests business psychologist Alastair Hamill: “They can come to terms with what you’ve said before seeing you on Monday.”

LIFE IS LIKE THAT

Butch, our dog, hated taking his medicine. After a lot of trial and error, my father eventually figured out the simplest way to get it into him: blow it down Butch's throat with something called a pill tube.
So Dad put the large tablet in one end of the tube, forced the reluctant dog's jaws open and poked the other end into his mouth. Then, just as my father inhaled to blow, Butch coughed.
A startled look appeared on Dad's face. He opened his eyes wide and swallowed hard. "I think I've just been de-wormed," he gasped.

If there's a competition for Worst Waiter of the Year, I've got a candidate. He was working at my aunt's favourite restaurant when we took her there for her birthday.
This guy messed up every order. She asked for pork. He brought beef. We requested beans. We got corn. And so on. At the end of the meal, he asked, "Would anyone like dessert?"
My aunt said, "What do I have to order to get a piece of cheesecake?"

Visiting the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, my sister and I were admiring a beautiful tribal head-dress that was decorated with eagle feathers. A man came up to us and identified himself as Native American.

''Do you know how warriors got those?'' the man asked, pointing to the feathers we were admiring. ''They covered a hole with branches, tied a live rabbit on top of it and hid underneath. When an eagle swooped down for the kill, they would grab its wing or tail.''

''Fascinating, '' I said. ''You learned that from your tribal elders?''

''Actually, no, '' the man confessed. ''I saw it on the Discovery Channel.''

A golfer was way behind in the championship game when he hit his ball into the rough. Bending to retrieve it, he came face to face with a leprechaun.
"Want some help with your game?" the leprechaun asked.
"That would be great!"
"OK," said the leprechaun. "But for every time I help, you'll lose one year of your sex life."
The golfer agreed and won the game.
Getting into his car later, he found the leprechaun sitting on his dashboard with a pad and pencil. "I helped you ten times," the leprechaun said. "That's ten years. Now, what's your name?"
"Father O'Malley."

2008-02-11T15:16:00.000+08:00

This morning, there was lion dance at HQ and at our level too - which is another building (all thanks to investment dept). We are asked to "join and see" the lion dance. Those drums beats was loud and it seems "scary" too especially they come near u. Was told that the lion wont walk to our section... but somehow was wrong. Sl stand infront and attacked by lion and i faster stand behind the pillar to hide... suddenly, they went in and walk one round and attack HY and me after. Woah liao! and there dead ends, i cant run to other side... so suay! And after that, they went to other rows of our section to "attack" ple. Aiyo, my heart beat race very fast thereafter... sigh.. what a terrible experience.
Thought, after the attack and i win toto as tonight winning was $3million. I even bet $3 hope i can win at least 4 numbers... but who knows i only won 3 numbers. sian waste my money... nvm will try next thur toto, $10million. Hope i can win tis time!

:: The 11 Times Trick ::

2008-01-19T00:56:00.000+08:00

We all know the trick when multiplying by ten - add 0 to the end of the number, but did you know there is an equally easy trick for multiplying a two digit number by 11? This is it:
Take the original number and imagine a space between the two digits (in this example we will use 52:
5_2
Now add the two numbers together and put them in the middle:
5_(5+2)_2
That is it - you have the answer: 572.
If the numbers in the middle add up to a 2 digit number, just insert the second number and add 1 to the first:
9_(9+9)_9
(9+1)_8_9
10_8_9
1089 - It works every time.

2. Quick Square

If you need to square a 2 digit number ending in 5, you can do so very easily with this trick. Mulitply the first digit by itself + 1, and put 25 on the end. That is all!
252 = (2x(2+1)) & 25
2 x 3 = 6
625

3. Multiply by 5

Most people memorize the 5 times tables very easily, but when you get in to larger numbers it gets more complex - or does it? This trick is super easy.
Take any number, then divide it by 2 (in other words, halve the number). If the result is whole, add a 0 at the end. If it is not, ignore the remainder and add a 5 at the end. It works everytime:
2682 x 5 = (2682 / 2) & 5 or 0
2682 / 2 = 1341 (whole number so add 0)
13410
Let’s try another:
5887 x 5
2943.5 (fractional number (ignore remainder, add 5)
29435

4. Multiply by 9

This one is simple - to multiple any number between 1 and 9 by 9 hold both hands in front of your face - drop the finger that corresponds to the number you are multiplying (for example 9×3 - drop your third finger) - count the fingers before the dropped finger (in the case of 9×3 it is 2) then count the numbers after (in this case 7) - the answer is 27.

5. Multiply by 4

This is a very simple trick which may appear obvious to some, but to others it is not. The trick is to simply multiply by two, then multiply by two again:
58 x 4 = (58 x 2) + (58 x 2) = (116) + (116) = 232

6. Calculate a Tip

If you need to leave a 15% tip, here is the easy way to do it. Work out 10% (divide the number by 10) - then add that number to half its value and you have your answer:
15% of $25 = (10% of 25) + ((10% of 25) / 2)
$2.50 + $1.25 = $3.75

7. Tough Multiplication

If you have a large number to multiply and one of the numbers is even, you can easily subdivide to get to the answer:
32 x 125, is the same as:
16 x 250 is the same as:
8 x 500 is the same as:
4 x 1000 = 4,000

8. Dividing by 5

Dividing a large number by five is actually very simple. All you do is multiply by 2 and move the decimal point:
195 / 5
Step1: 195 * 2 = 390
Step2: Move the decimal: 39.0 or just 39
2978 / 5
step 1: 2978 * 2 = 5956
Step2: 595.6

9. Subtracting from 1,000

To subtract a large number from 1,000 you can use this basic rule: subtract all but the last number from 9, then subtract the last number from 10:
1000
-648
step1: subtract 6 from 9 = 3
step2: subtract 4 from 9 = 5
step3: subtract 8 from 10 = 2
answer: 352

10. Assorted Multiplication Rules

Multiply by 5: Multiply by 10 and divide by 2.
Multiply by 6: Sometimes multiplying by 3 and then 2 is easy.
Multiply by 9: Multiply by 10 and subtract the original number.
Multiply by 12: Multiply by 10 and add twice the original number.
Multiply by 13: Multiply by 3 and add 10 times original number.
Multiply by 14: Multiply by 7 and then multiply by 2
Multiply by 15: Multiply by 10 and add 5 times the original number, as above.
Multiply by 16: You can double four times, if you want to. Or you can multiply by 8 and then by 2.
Multiply by 17: Multiply by 7 and add 10 times original number.
Multiply by 18: Multiply by 20 and subtract twice the original number (which is obvious from the first step).
Multiply by 19: Multiply by 20 and subtract the original number.
Multiply by 24: Multiply by 8 and then multiply by 3.
Multiply by 27: Multiply by 30 and subtract 3 times the original number (which is obvious from the first step).
Multiply by 45: Multiply by 50 and subtract 5 times the original number (which is obvious from the first step).
Multiply by 90: Multiply by 9 (as above) and put a zero on the right.
Multiply by 98: Multiply by 100 and subtract twice the original number.
Multiply by 99: Multiply by 100 and subtract the original number.

:: UPGRADE FROM BOYFRIEND TO HUSBAND ::

2007-12-19T21:30:00.000+08:00

Dear IT Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a
slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower, gifts
and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs,
such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5,
but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0,
NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply
crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these
problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate Housewife

Reply:
Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind:
Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an
operating system.

Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download
Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the
applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy
Silence2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Late Night Teh Tarik 6.1.

Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program that will create SnoringLoudly.wav
files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or reinstall another
Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash
Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited
memory and cannot learn new application! s quickl y.

You might consider additional software to improve memory and
performance.
I personally recommend Hot Tasty Food 3.0 and Tongkat Ali 6.9.

Good Luck,
IT Support

:: Company Dinner ::

2007-12-13T01:09:00.001+08:00

Eventually, everyone was forced to attend the seminar when in the survey they asked us to choose to attend seminar/dinner or both! It was so boring even they hired the duno top speaker to say abt income... the 6 steps of how to handle customer service(Basic, Expectation, Suprsingly, ...., ... - i forget the last few). I was not interested in the 2hrs talk! i trying my best to keep my eyes opened by drawing, playing tic tac toe wif shiyun. haha we are jus too bored! It was so badly organised that water is not provided at all! Can imagine we all seated at Raffles Convectional Hall. Finally, the talk ended and we went for walk as dinner resumed at 7.15pm. Everyone was waiting for the door to open and we all hungry-people going to rush in to eat. waited waited waited then "heaven-doors" opened. Everyone rushed in to our tables allocated (end up we swop seats) and waited for e food to be served. No water, no waitress, no waiter ard... everyone busy looking for seats and we grabed the menu on the table to see what nice foods they going to serve. The food seems nice as got shark fin, prawn, fish etc... but honesty speaking only first 3-4 dishes is nice...
As usual, CEO will give speech. A Long long speech tat last 30mins and our stomach "cries" but we willing to wait as he got mentioned abt the bonus.. After all the happy words, he commented that bonus will be announced on next Feb. What the.. waste our appetite our waiting for e news.
Guess wat, CEO went to every talk and "chit chat". When he was walking to our tables, we all act busy talking and eating. He asked if we enjoyed the food and asked wat dept we are. We said we are from IT dept but he heard it as Finance Dept. It is cos is gals table and sld be from finance dept? haha... who cares.

Don't worry, darling

One day a girl brings home her boyfriend and tells her father she wants to marry him.After talking to him for a while,he tells his daughter she can't do it because he is her half-brother.

The same problem happens again four more times! The girl starts to get pissed off.She goes to her mom and says,' Mom...what have you been doing all your life? Dad's been going around laying every maiden in town and now I can't marry any of the five guys I like because they have turned out to be half-brothers!!!'

Her mom replies,'Don't worry darling,you can marry any one of them you want,he isn't really your dad!'

:: Back from Batam Trip 03/11/2007 - 04/11/2007 ::

2007-11-03T18:41:00.000+08:00

We reached Harbour Font at 9:45am and met Yanli at e control.
Went to the counter to take our travel documents and eat our breakfast while waiting for 10:05am to check in.
{Waited, waited and waited.}
We sld boarded and left at 10:50 but somehow the ferry havnet arrived. We boarded nearly 11am and reached there at 11am (Singapore Time, 12:pm).
According to the tour guide, we sld reached the resort ard 1hr later but somehow it only took ard 30min to reach the resort - Batam View Resort.
{Waited, waited and waited again.}
The tour guide prepared the 3 French ple and 2 Singaporean first before we can check-in. Welcome drinks only offer to 3 French ple. We super hungry and no one bother us. We also made reservation at the counter (S$ 5 per pax to the Maga Mall from 2pm to 4.30pm at the counter compared S$15 bucks on one way taxi fare).
After booking our bags, and let the receptionist to add in one bag etc... we waited again to 2ppm so we can take e bus to Maga Mall. We rushed in to find food when we reached and we find out that the Mall is JUST OPPOSITE THE FERRY TERMINAL. What the .... ! Why dun they told us to shop first and we go hotel after that.. sigh! Initally, wanna try their Pizza Hut as we saw the signboard when we alighting... but when we abt to step in, just a 45degree on our left, we saw a familiar sign - "A&W". Oh Gosh! Without delay, we just turn and walked towards the A&W and ordered food before we decided to find seats. Can imagine how hungry we are.... After lunch, we walked ard. Basically just a 4 level shopping mall... with 30mins u can finish walking. Oops! End up, we bought some food for snacks at hypermart.
At 4:10pm, we went to the entrance to wait for the bus and went back to resort. We rest a while till 6:30pm and we went to their Kelong Seafood Restaurant to eat. (basically, just below the resort) We ordered Pineapple Rice, Tom Yam Seafood Soup, KaGong with sambal, Beancurd and Kuay Tiow Thai xxx... We are so full before Kuay Tiow Thai, so we asked to take away so we can eat for supper. It is so nice when we ate ard 1hr later. it really worth $7 bucks!

:: A new place ::

2007-08-11T11:14:00.000+08:00

Never ever in my life thought of walking into Buangkok Green Medical Park even though sometimes I did pass-by this estate and it seems “chalet” to me. But I did today and visiting someone whom I knew...

A week ago when I heard this particular friend of mine, x admitted to this hospital due to relapse. Initially, I had an uneasiness of walking into this hospital as what we saw in TV that the patients are tied up in a room alone or making noises. Actually, the hospital is quite spacious and has secured doors in the wards; it was a very quiet place and I don’t think I can find another place like there that you can have a good rest and pondered… also it is quite windy there maybe it is in the evening when we reached~ and saw some joggers there.

We walked quite a long distance and reached the so-called block and entered the lift. Before entering the main ward, there is a door and need either a pass or the nurse to open the door. Immediately, after entering to the main door, we must go thru another door before entering the ward. When we entered, x was squatting behind the door. Surprised! Never thought x changed so much apart from the last time I saw x. Then, the nurse ushered us to a room and we sat and chat with x. Most of time, we just watched x and the other friend of ours conservation and this is my first time sawing all these… Shivering, spoke short phases, giggling, crying, weak, restless, distressed etc. Actually, want to share some stuff like my studies, my work, and my life with x but at the moment I was speechless. Totally, nothing comes into my mind but to observe what/how behaves or talking to us. The last meeting with x seems like yesterday and today x behave so different in front of us. The cheerful and chatty x now becomes so depressed and worn-out.

Right here, really hope x can recover soon and can go back home soon.

Suddenly, find some casio watches. Some range are quite cheap, less than $50. All on sales. So happy.. being agitated to buy all. Ha-ha! (we went for almost 1.5hr lunch :p) After trying some watches, manage to aim 1 watch and start 'hunting' which store selling the cheapest... and i found one that sell only $38. In the end, is only $1 difference! SO auntie sia. Ha-ha. >>>

Finally tried e food at Astons yesterday (after months of graving~). It is located opp Katong Mall. I ordered the Lemon and Lime Chicken Chop while they (YL and WY) tried the Black and Pepper Chicken Chop. Every set meal come with 2 side dishes. We ordered soup of the day - Chicken Soup (they served the soup hot and fully one bowl and cums wif garlic bread - Excellent!! Cripsy and nice!) and plain water (that cost 30ct each).
At the end of the day, we only pay $26.10. Woah! so cheap!!! Recommended!!!
To those who eat beef - u all gotta try their steak! Heard is very nice and is cheap too. Remember: No GST. No Service Charge. but... u gotta go there early; if not u gotta queue quite long.
