Discharged on 31 Jul....
I was so glad I am out of that horrible place....
with dirty and smelly toilet....
.......................sleepless nite.....
.....................................restricted movement.....
Need I say more?..Anyone will be glad to be out of hospital....
I was resting at home on 1st Aug(Wed) and wanting to go back work on 2nd Aug(Thu)...Who knows....
Fate is making fun of my life....I am readmitted to hospital again....on 2nd Aug(Thu) after my diahorrea came back at 3am in the morning....
My mum rush me to hospital at 7am in the morning......
I spend my time in the A&E with several dose of painkiller....and only reached the ward at around 5pm as the ward bed was not ready......
Gosh......I was thinking...how it is going to affect my work again....as I am sure this time round if I am admitted the doctor will not discharge me so soon till my tummy is totally cleared and can accept solid food well.....
Next few days was a tortured on bed.....I spend my few days confined on bed...with dose and dose of pain killer to suppress my pain....only today 04Aug(Sat) that I felt better and was able to sit up to blog...
My face was swelling like a pig head due to the side effect of the medicine. Arms and hands are covered with brusies and needle poke....
Doctor just came..as expected...he said he wanted me to rest my gut without food...so that my gut will not be overworked...
Well as expected, he mentioned I got to be here in hosp till at least next tue/Wed(7/8Aug).
I just hope that my tummy....will be more obedient.....don't give me so much problem and let me recover faster and go back to work..so that I will not make my family worry and be a hindrance to my company....Don't know why only I am always so down on my luck to have all this.....Everyone ard me is always up and running happily.....Is this my life???Is this what I have to go through for the rest of my life?
Nontheless, I want to thank my Bestie Pris also for coming to visit me on Thu(I was sound asleep due to my painkiller effect) and cancelling her dinner gathering with her frends to visit me on Fri again.
Thank you all who visited me and show concern for me one way or another and Cheri who called all the way from Aus....during my dark and painful period.
Pray for my speedy recovery!!! Sometimes I really feel like reaching out to God....But somehow I have no faith and can't feel much from him after so many ordeal. Is it just all in the mind?
May God Bless me!!!!

I was admitted to hospital again on 28th Jul.It was a sleepless nite with repeated times of diahorrea....
Unable to take the more than 20 times of diahorrea anymore, I decided to go the the A&E and NUH...
I guess that is my only choice......
I was in A&E with several jabs of painkiller before I was transferred to the ward.....
I was shouting to the roof top when I was transferred to the ward at about 12pm. The pain is killing me.
Finally after waiting for a long time for the nurse to inform the house officer(doctor) they gave me a strong pain killer jabthat managed to relieve my pain..shortly I feel asleep as the side effect will make a person drowsy.....
when I wokeup, my pain has subsided....it was much better...however, I still feel very tired and lethargic as I didnt sleep the prev nite and was running to the toilet the whole nite....
Next few days was lying in the hospital waiting for the my stomach to recover....and doing nothing lying on the bed.
I was bored to tears..and so frustrated..I hate to have nothing to do......
Furthermore, beside me came a new patient..she was about 80 years old lady..moaning and moaning...well as you can guess that I am very sensitive to noise, the new few nights were sleepless long nite...
My client company good frend Chelsea was very nice...she sent me a birdnest flower hamper saying that hope it will cheer me up...Well I thank her for her thoughfulness...
A few friends came to visit me as well....And I really appreciate it....
As usual, there are some frends that will jsut say "send my regards" or "take care and hope you discharge soon"..I guess you can tell this frends are those that will not be so worthwhile for you to keep in touch with...not even the mentioning of dropping by to take a look at you....Well I don't really care about that also...at least I knowwho are the friends that is worthwhile to keep in touch with and who are just the Hi-Bye friends whom you cannot depend on or talk more things about...I guess there are the other kind of surfaced friends.
Anyway I don't really care about the surface friends because I think I am lucky enough to have quite a few friends that have been known me for years and people that really show concern or worthwhile to keep in touch with.
However,I must really appreciate my current company and boss for been accomdating to the fact that I am not well. As ever since I join my current company, this is the 2nd time I was admited in hospital. First time was anaemic. This time was stomach infection.....Gosh...I wonder how many employer will accomdate that.
Although they aks me not to worry and take care of myself to rest well..But sigh..sometimes I wonder what will they think deep inside them....Am i makeing them lose $$ in terms of earning when I am on mc?Because of the fact that my contract with client site is chargeable for the days I work, it means each day I dont work, my company is losing a sum of $$ everyday.
Hopefully I be discharged soon.....I will be well on my feet again....Of coz I always pray hard that all this misfortune does not befall me...But somehow....this illness and troubles liek to associatethem to me.....or find their way to me....
Gosh...how optimstic can I feel...with all this misfortunes befalling me....Guess the only thing I can do is to stay happy....so that I can recover faster.
Great I am finally discharged this evening.....31July...after much pleading with the doctor...I will be back to work on 2 Aug.

It was a tiring weekend. Sunday 22nd Jul was my niece birthday (Not actual day).
Her mum wanted to have a small celebration at our house by having some home-cooked birthday food....
I have to start preparing the ingredient from morning....
Hmm...What's the yummies for the celebration???
Chicken Wings, popiah, mee hoon, fish ball...etc...
I have to preparing the ingredient from morning for making popiah....
at close to 1030am, I have to go over my sis's house nearby to pick my niece to our house for lunch....
after lunch, as usual..I play with my younger niece Evee for a while...
She is growing bigger and more adorable by the days...I love her sooo..*Muacks*
She just manged to learn to sit and learning to crawl and stand...
This is the most fun stage of a toddler...
As usual, Sunday is a household chore day for me...
After my sis and nieces went home, I have to start ironing clothes (This is one of the chore I hate most)...Mop the floor...and time really flies...is almost 3.30pm...
Have to get my elder sis to help me in wrapping the popiah with me....

Initially I thought I will be done with the cooking in half an hour....who knows....
I only managed to finished cooking around 5pm.....
Took a quick shower + Washing toilet bowl.....(Gosh my hands are all rough)
and have to rush out to start putting the dish nice nice on the plate for serving.....
Celebration started at 5.45pm and ended around 7.45pm...

she especially order those "HELLO KITTY" birthday banners from US....and it ain't cheap...can't remember how much thou....
Haha..I only vaguely remember I had a big birthday celebration at 7 yrs old when I move to my new house in Clementi....That was the most happy birthday celebration I had ..as far as I could rememeberwith a bit 2.5kg Mickey Mouse cake..."Aren't I xinfu"...Well both my sister didn't had any big birthday celebration....
My stomach nearly feel like exploding...after all the yummy food.... considering that I don't eat a lot usually...
Well Folks...Sorry no photos of my niece...coz my sis doesn't like to post her kids photos online...
Can only display some pics of the food and banner.....
Wahahaha...this blog seems rather boring..isn't it?

I was down with flu since Fri the 13th..... it's been a week and I have not recover
On sat, I have to force myself to go down to MBR for my first fitting with a bad headache...at 2pm
I tried on about 10 pcs of WG and 10 pcs of EG....
Finally after 3 hrs of trying, I decided to call it a day.
On sat, I have to force myself to go down to MBR for my first fitting with a bad headache...at 2pm
I tried on about 10 pcs of WG and 10 pcs of EG....
Finally after 3 hrs of trying, I decided to call it a day.
I am in a dilemma to choose between 2 WG. One was a WG that I set my eyes on the very first time when I went down
to the BS to try.
The other one was pretty unique as well....which is pure white....and
will look extremely gorgeous in the ballroom.
Finally I decided to settle down with the first WG that I first set eyes on.
However..till now my heart is still unsettled..thou I like the design
and lace on the WG I have chosen, the colour of the gown is more towards
ivory...
Colour wise will not look as outstanding as the gown in pure white....
The other WG design is much more simpler but it looks more outstanding
probably due to the pure white colour.
As for my EG, it is a total disappointment....I tried sooooo many of
them, and almost 90% of them looks so flamboyant....
I got a terrible backache wearing and taking out the EGs......KT was
disappointed as well...He said none of them impressed him...
which I agreed 100%......
Now I have to go back on the 2nd Aug to see if any suitable EGs for
those BTB in end Nov OTR...Perhaps I could take their EGs....

Else, I will have a headache to MTM my EG as I do not have a design on my mind....furthermore, what was designed on paper may not be really what you want.
Not only that I had initially wanted my PS to be in Oct as from Nov onwards, I believed I will be busy with quite a lot of things. The sad thing is my PS is on end Nov as the Oct slot is all fully booked. ..Sigh......

I pray hard that it will not rain as well during the end Nov period.......

I finally bought the watch that I have been wanting to buy....
Is my Omega Constellation(MY CHOICE). 
The sad thing is the watch is not automatic. It is a quartz watch. The Omega watch of the same series that is automatic is of a bigger size which I don't like. No choice I have to settle with a Omega Quartz watch. But I just love the diamonds around it....*I love it to bitz*
Battery can last only 2 years....and each battery change cost $120..which I think is quite expensive as well...I went to Hour Glass on 27Jun07 to buy my Omega. Hour glass was flooded with people....As if they are giving awaya free watches....
I wonder do Singapore really have that many rich people who is so willing to splurge on branded items? I only buy a watch that is less than 5k and I can feel the heart ache le..I guess that is the one and only expensive watch that I will buy...
Others are spending more than $10,000 on watches like Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Frank Muller...
They don't even feel a pinch...I think they must be really earning big bucks..that why is nothing to them...I have a colleague who says a diamond watch for around 5k? THAT'S CHEAP....
Haha....wat can I say?

I spent my weekend at Bkk last week. Well....actually nothing much to do there..except to eat and sleep.
Suprisingly, I could sleep pretty well there...maybe the hotel room is much more quiet and comfortable as compared to my hse....where I can hear the vechicles sound even thou I have alraedy close the window and door tightly...
This is really irritating...because even when I am dead tired, I can't sleep well with all the noise pollution...
You know when I sleep well, I feel extremely alert...When I don't I feel extremely moody and I will have pain and aches everywhere.
Day 1
The first day we arrive at Bkk, we did some shopping...and it was a sumptuous meal at Chinatown.
Too bad I am not a big eater...else I would have order lots more dish...as the food just looks yummy....and most of all it's cheap
Steam seabass = SGD9
Sharkfin soup = SGD13
BBQ Big Prawn = SGD7
Well didn't get a chance to taste the good tom yam soup there coz I was too full to take in any more stuff....
After dinner and a short walk for digestion, we settled down at Nam Sing for Bird Nest...
Bird Nest is suppose to be cheap in BKK....but I don't think so le...
a small bowl cost SGD$15...and it doesn't taste nice...It seems to me like those fake bird nest.....
Enjoying my dinner
Guess KT really "Kiam Chai" life..so happy and satisfied with that plate of bean sprouts...=D
Enjoying my bird nest

Day2
Went to Jatuchuk in the morning as it was a sunday and the strange thing is Jatuchuk is only open on weekend. Actualyl I dont quite like going there....because it is hot and stuffy....But co KT since he wanted to go .....in the end, I bought stuff instead of him....and he appear bored throughout the stay at Jatuchuk....We only stayed about 2 hrs there and went back to the hotel.

Pets from Jatuchuk...Isn't that KAWAII..
Next we went to Emporium...suppose to go sukumvit for a massage....But guess is an unlucky day...coz the massage was fully booked and it rained suddenly....
and I did not bring my umbrella with me...
As we have nothing much to do, decided to catch a show call "PATHFINDER" for about SGD$6.50.haha...the big cinema only got about 30 people
well suppose to have a nice Japanese dinner after movie...BUT....sigh...I guess I made the wrong order....
I had the worse curry udon I ever tasted.....It just sucks....

Here's a photo of a cake I took at the bakery coz I felt that it is co cute....and I haven't seen such cake in SG before.
After dinner, went back to the hotel at about 1030pm...........
Day3
Went for a massage at "Health Land Spa" near Silom...It was recommended by KT's friend. Well apparently a lot of locals went there for massage so the prices there are local price...
only 450bhat for a 2 hr thai massage.....It was really shiok..I feel so much better after a few days of muscle ache...
Guess what...after the massage, we proceed on to the newly open Central shopping centre.....
hmm..kind of disappointed as I would be expecting more out of it....especially the food court..the food just sucks...for its price....coz is not cheap for a food court price...
Well but I will strongly recommend MBK foodcourt. The food is really nice and looks more hygienic as compared to street food.
After buying out local food and tibits from MBK to bring bk to SG, we went back to the hotel at about 6pm..Isn't that early for a last day in BKK?
Day4
Breakfast and pack up....
Took some photos of the hotel....The hotel is call Siam@Siam. It is a boutique hotel, quite new as it was opened only in dec06.
Took some pictures for your viewing...
Well, I quite like the hotel except that floor is not carpetd and the toilet bath tub is too high for a older person....even for me, I find a bit tough to go in and out of the bath tub...
Tat's all folks..

Went back to doctor this morning on 24Apr(Tue) for my CT scan result.
It was a blessing in diguise...I heaved a sigh of relief......The intense pain on my pancreas is actually caused by my gallstone that is creating a blockage at the pancreas...
So far no damage has been done to the Pancreas yet......I quietly heaved a sigh of relief....I was damn sad and worried for the past 1 wk when my blood test shows sigh of abnormality on my Pancreas...
Doctor gave me some painkiller to relief my pain and ask me to see him in 3 weeks time....
He ask me not to eat too much or oily/deep fried food to prevent my pancreas from overworking.....
If the pain does not subside in the next few weeks, then I might have to go for OPs....
I quietly tell myself that if my pancreas is alright, I will go back for church service....
well..Guess I will keep to my promise...and go back church service...see if I will regain my faith again...
Now I am just hoping for the long weekend to come.....as I will be flying off to Bangkok...
Too bad..I can only go there to relax and enjoy the massage...No good food for me....
But that's alright..most importantly...is my health condition did not worsen.....

Now I am just hoping for the long weekend to come.....as I will be flying off to Bangkok...
Too bad..I can only go there to relax and enjoy the massage...No good food for me....
But that's alright..most importantly...is my health condition did not worsen.....

Weekend wasn't fantastic....
Had my CT scan done on Friday(20-Apr) morning....
Initially had wanted to go back to work after my scan. But it ended quite late and I was rather tired...so decided to take the day off for a good rest.
Reach the hospital at about 9.30am.....did some blood test before proceeding to register for my CT scan.
By the time I have finished registering, it was already 10+...
I was called into the nurse room where she inserted a plug onto my hand.....for the contrast to be inserted during the scanning...
I was also given a bottle of barium to drink for the next 2 hrs....The purpose of the barium is to allow CT scan to clearly see my organs clearly when the barium flow through...
To begin with, of course the barium doesn't taste nice and what make it worse was that I feel quite bloated and still have to swallow that big bottle of yucky barium.
Scan ended at 1+ in the afternoon, decided to take the day off since I am feeling unwell and it will be quiet late by the time I reach office.
Slept eary at about 1030 pm as I wasn't feeling too good.
Sat and Sun wasn't fantastic either.
Tummy was painful throughout the weekend thus didnt sleep well at night. Had to constantly feed myselfwith tramadol(painkiller) to reduce the pain......I can only weep silently.
Well I guess by now you should know I have been spending my weekend lying on bed...not even have the energy to walk around or even talk.
KT ask me to have faith in GOD..and I will heal...apparently since the ordeal 10 years ago, I have lost all faith in GOD.
In anyway what I don't understand is....since he is a believer of God, he can pray for my recovery ma....and it should work right...
Why must the victim itself to be believer before it works...then what is the purpose of christian always saying..."I will pray for your recovery"?
Anyway...I was dead tired....and in pain....not even the slightest energy to think further.....
Going to see doctor on Tuesday(24-Apr) for the result of my scan to determine the amount of damage that has been done for my Pancreas....
I am just a simple girl..with a simple wish..that is to stay healthy...now in this situation..I don't even know...if my little wish of having a baby of my own can be fulfilled.
For people out there who have read my blog...and are believers of GOD....do say a little prayer for my recovery.
Wish me luck in my fight against this painful ordeal.......

17 Apr(tuesday) went to see doctor for regular checkup. Well.....it wasn't a fantastic thing to be visiting hosp regularly
Did some other blood test today as I was having tummy pain last 2 weeks....
After the morning checkup, I proceed back to work. At about 3pm in the same afternoon, I received a call from the hospital. Asking me to go back today(13Apr) as the doctor wants to talk to me.....he said...my blood test was abnormal and there are damages on my PANCREAS.....
I was at a loss when I received the news. I do not know what is the functionality of PANCREAS nor what is happening to me as it comes too sudden....my "Amylase" and "Lipase" test was exceptionally high out of range.
I check up the internet and realise that PANCREAS is use for digestion and according to doctor damages in PANCREAS will lead to diabetics easily in future.....sigh..."Is Life FAIR?"
He tells me...now he can only wait for the scan result next Tuesday to see how much damage is done to my Pancreas before he can decide on the next step to take......
I still haven't get married, have kid,hubby and a happy family of my own.......I have always yearn to have my own kid since I was a small child....now with all this happening...is my dream going to be dash...I am just a simple woman with just a simple wish.....But why is all this happening to me..."Why has life been so unfair to me"
Since I managed to live on after the ordeal 10 years old, why issit that GOD cannot let me live my life peacefully and create all this ordeal one after another for me.....
When is all this going to STOP

The weekend really sucks...
First it begin on Thursday nite....It was supposed to be KT buddy birthday. His buddy wife "Ms A" wanted to organise a suprise dinner for his huby....
The meeting time was supposed to be at one of the restaurant at 7.15pm at Marina Sq. Well as usual, the punctual me arrive at 7.15pm and was seated in the restaurant. KT has already informed me that he be arriving approx at 8pm due to a last min meeting at Yio Chu Kang.
Of course the understanding me is not the least unhappy.I sms the "Ms A" at 7.15pm upon seated.....Guess what...she called me at 7.30pm...and told me she be slightly late....I ask her what time is slightly late because the restaurant is very packed..and I don't wanna sit on a big table chopping seat alone not knowing what time they arrive ...The weird thing is a person knows she is arriving late and cannot inform me beforehand...must late already then inform ...isn't that weird??
This is our dialogue
Ms A: I be slightly late
Me: What time is slightly? Can you give me a approx time rather than tell me slightly...
Ms A: Now is 7.30pm and from Bugis to Marina, there might be jam should i be slightly late but I do not know what time.
Well I was pissed now....
Me: So you cannot tell me what time you reach? I don't want to look silly sitting here and disrupting people from doing business. I am going to rebook the table at 8.15pm.
Then I put down the phone......
I was damn pissed alraedy.....There was supposed to be another couple who was supposed to be there as well.....
When I left the restaurant, I met the couple at 7.45pm somewhere in marina Sq....They were strolling slowly towards the restaurant. When they met me....first thng they say is they are late because they need to collect the cake...Well I told them I have cancel the booking and rebook at 8.15pm. Come back later...I said.....
Think they know that I am pissed...Well of course I think that is not a good excuse. Is not the last min they know they need to collect cake. Why do you give the excuse that you are late because u need to collect cake? Nobody inform me what time who is reaching...I seems like a stupid fool lor.....
In the end..guess what time they reach..?? 8.15pm..which means they were late for a total of 1HOUR.....Lucky I was thinking right not to sit tn the resturant and wait...
Well we had to rush off for a show at 9.30pm at MS. The movie is call "SUNSHINE". The movie sucks...is a science fiction movie....I thought Michelle Yeoh was in the movie and thought it be some action packed kind..starring Michelle Yeoh. So it be nice...who knows...sigh.wasted my $19 and almost fell asleep in the movie.....The newsaper still talk abt how nice is the movie..."PUI"...
Give me free I also don't want to watch..rather stay at home and sleep...Well...it was one of the worst long weekend I had for this year....

Attended my Cousin's wedding on 11 Mar at Chijmes....
It's been a long long time...since I attended a relative's wedding.....
Apparently, most of my cousins are already married.....or...left with those cousins..that are still at schooling age......hmmm...let me count...
Well..putting aside those schooling cousins, I think I have only one cousin that is slightly over 30..that is not married...and the next one is me...=P....
Well....not sure..when I be able to attend a relative's wedding dinner again...
In fact, most of my good friends...are also 90% married or with at least one kid......
Guess...I am the only one left on the shelf now....sob......*Lelong*.....*Lelong*
Well, but I still think that it is better to stay single than to marry the wrong man right?
Yesterday wedding at chijmes was a super boring and long winded luncheon......
1) Firstly, the wedding started about 45mins....later than the specifed time....I think the couple should just go ahead and start on time....rather than to wait for those late comers.....
2) Secondly, the pastor preach for about an hour or so......apparently, nobody was paying attention to the pastor....guess he couldn't really make a good speech or capture the audience attention
3) Sound system was really bad.....I can't even hear the words of the pasotr clearly....I even had to strain my ear to listen......
4) Most of the time, the food are quite cold, service by the waitress wasn't good either....Example, I ask for soya sauce, they actually told me the bottle of vinegar on the table is soya sauce.....I think even me as a guest knew that....no banquet would put a bottle of soya sauce on the table. They will only pour a bit in the small dish.
5) Always have to wait for quite a long time before the next dish is serve which is not quite typical of a banquet.
6) The wedding itself is super boring.......it started with one hour of preaching by the pastor, then start to serve food.....no games organise by the bride or bridegroom wedding...or performance by the couple or whatever or .... *Super quiet wedding*
Finally is over....ended at about 3pm *Yuppie*.....

Arghh.....is so frustrating to work with this XXX guy...my team member.....
I thought things could be better after 3 months.....WHO KNOWS....
This few days was a down period....because data was not available to do SIT and user have not got back to us on the requirements of some fields to changed....
I know that my team member is quite free as well..can see that he is surfing net....
Well of course I would have expected him as a developer to have finish his UT documents and necessary stuff that is to be completed by the deadline....
To my atonishment..he has not complete his UT documents...my question to him is what has he done the past few days?...Well..of course he will tell me he do this thing and that thing..as usual...but i doubt he is so busy that.....he is unable to finish the UT documents....
and guess what..the inital part of the UT document he did...
He actually use my UAT test case for his UT test case....and overwrite my stuff...
Now I had to redo my UAT STUFF.....
A developer will surely know what to write for a UT document right??
I guess "COMMON SENSE IS NOT COMMON"after all....
Below is our conversatiom
CAT: Do you know what is expected to finish by when?
XXX: "HONESTLY I DON'T KNOW"....
CAT: Do you know you have to read the project plan on task deadline etc?
XXX: Yes I know.
CAT: Then?? Why you never read it?
Well he keeps quiet.................
I seriously dont't know what is going on in his mind.....if he is so uncooperative....and lay back....is going to pose a big problem to me.
Well..of course...I can't tell this to my customer PM....coz is problem with our own internal staff....
I just write in my blog..to let go of my frustration......

Arghhh.......this is getting frustrating.....
Is 2.30am SG time, 1 Mar 2007 . I been unable to sleep since 1am......Been turning and tossing on bed and this is getting frustrating.....
In fact I been unable to sleep well for "past 3 days"....hmm..issit because my boss is in town...am I stressed out.....haha......hopefully nope...coz my boss is a nice guy..and never add stress to me....
So far, I still enjoy working for him....with some silly jokes from him once a while....
Now I am thinking....is going to be a hard and long day for me tomorrow......as it's the consecutive third nite....that I am not sleeping well....
Well...if I can't sleep in half an hours time...I think I am going to pack up and proceed to my 7.15am Hot Yoga session...Super hardworking rite......haha......
Well....since I paid for it..and unable to sleep...might as well make full use of it and do some exercise....
Today my boss told me, he will need me for another project after this current project which is finishing in May...which means I may be at this project site....till end of 2007...hopefully...
I am OVER THE MOON
Anyway I do enjoy working in this project site...although there is sometimes 1-2 black sheep around. But what most important is that your boss is understanding and you can work with him right?

He is the busiest man I ever seen, can't contact him on phone....take several days to receive his email reply

my PM ...is the nicest caucasian I ever met....

*Ahem* think you can guess his age..more or less...*wink*
4) he is always willing to listen to any problem I face and brainstorm with me on solutions....not leaving me to face the music by myself....
*so touched*

This time round nothing...."minus 1 point"
6) He is approchable and hmm..funloving...doesnt behave like those stern old man.....wahaha...

Feb 18 ..First day of Lunar New Year...."Year of the Golden Pig"......
This year is supposed to be a joyous year for my family....Why? Because my sister was supposed to give birth to 3 babies piggy in May 07.........
However Feb 18 turn out to be the most tragic and sad day of my year 2007.......
My beloved sister...my most dearie....goodie sister....the kindest and great sister I ever had....was hospitalised...on 15 feb...after much stomach cramp....
Don't understand why good people...also does not have good returns..
while bad people...always live long and have good fortune...."Does God really exist"....
The stay in hospital wasn't a fantastic one.....she has been under painkiller injection and medicine to stabilised her 3 babies....
Finally....the day come 18Feb...Monday night...the last call from my sis....she is resting well..and pain has subsided...is ready to be discharged on 20Feb when the Gynaceologist is back from holiday......Then at about 11pm...received a call from my brother in law(BIL)...Could hear my sisterbcrying in pain....my BIL says her water bag has burst.....we all know...it's gone...coz it is only 21 weeks to her pregnancy......the baby will be too small to survive outside mother womb.....
I and my mum rush down to the hospital immediately.....when we reach...my BIL says...the first baby...was out of the womb...and didn't survive as expected....
outside the labour ward..I could still hear my sister groaning in pain...
"My heart really aches for her"..and there is nothing I could do...
Thou skeptical.as I know...all this is just a spiritual support..All I could do is to pray for her.... "I pray for the god to hear my prayers....to lessen my sister pain....let her keep her babies.....at least 1...."
After the 1st baby was born and pass away...I went in the labour ward...to console my sister and to calm her down...as she was really in pain and in great discomfort...in the ward, I saw the corpse of the baby.....he was already fully formed..with the cute little fingers and toes....my heart goes all out for my sister and the death of my nephew......
We thought the 2 babies left in the womb..might have a chance of survivial......I nearly wanted to break down...and cry when I saw my sister groaning in pain....nothing I could do..All I did was held her hand and pray inside my heart....to plead for
"God to hear my prayers ...lessen her pain and let her babies stay with her"...God didn't answer my prayer again..I wonder...does God really exist??
Or is jst some myth that people just hold them in their spiritual support?...
Ever since I almost die 10 yrs ago in the hospital....I know "God never exist". Neither has it lessen my pain in the hospital or for the past 10 years....
"I survived with my own strong will and determination"....When everyone thought I was going to die...I pass through the ordeal...and survive.....I remember my sis told me during my ordeal 10 years back. u..This is a something that has never once...leave my mind....coz it just show how great she is as a sister...and how much she is willing to sacrifice for me.
1 hour has past and she is still groaning in pain..then her 2nd water bag burst again..This time round.....both 2nd and baby was born and pass away....it was the saddest moment of my life...ever since my ordeal 10 years ago...
By this time..my sis no longer groan ......but I could see the devasted look on her face......and I saw the other 2 body of my nephews...
"May the 3 of my nephews rest in peace". You always be in my memory.....
Went home at about 3am......
Everyting is over..however, I don't feel one bit better....in fact..sometimes...tears will just trickle down my face...when I think of it.....even when I am writing this blog now....
Just don't understand......why is life so unfair..some people can have kids easily..and just abandon or abort their kid / babies just like trash..while others try so hard to have one...but turn out to be nothing.....
The journey forward will be tough for my sister.....But I am sure all will turn out well for her...and one day..she will be able to fulfill he wish....
Much as I wish for, I also hope that one fine day...I can also have a baby of my own..no matter how hard it takes for me.....
Just hope that God will make life fairer for human beings.....
This year is supposed to be a joyous year for my family....Why? Because my sister was supposed to give birth to 3 babies piggy in May 07.........
However Feb 18 turn out to be the most tragic and sad day of my year 2007.......
My beloved sister...my most dearie....goodie sister....the kindest and great sister I ever had....was hospitalised...on 15 feb...after much stomach cramp....
Don't understand why good people...also does not have good returns..
while bad people...always live long and have good fortune...."Does God really exist"....
The stay in hospital wasn't a fantastic one.....she has been under painkiller injection and medicine to stabilised her 3 babies....

It wasn't a fantastic week...at work....and I think I am feeling breathless again.....and my team member irresponsibility attitude...even worsen my condition...I have start to lose patient talking to him....
Well...this guy was supppose to complete something last Fri to be send out to my PM overseas....At6pm, he finish generating his files
Mr XXX: I finish generating the file. Can you check.
Me: Have you check?
Mr XXX: Nope
Me: Can you please check first? I will only check after you have checked your stuff.
Sigh...what kind of attitude is it....getting me to check his thing even without checking his own work....I seriously don't understand this 38 yrs old guy mentality......what is he thinking. Is he plain lazy or???? Yet he still keep telling me about how great how great is he at work...I seriously begin to doubt it long ago.....
Well..Then after checking at while, he told me after he change his codes, he realise many accounts are missing....So I ask him to find out the reason why, check already then send out to my PM overseas.....
This Tuesday, I had a chat with my PM. PM ask me why are so many accounts missing. I was at a loss of words.....so I said I will ask XXX to check as I have not view exactly what what he has send out..."I thought I could trust him"
Well, I ask him
Me: Thought you said you discover missing accounts? Why did you still send out the file despite that?
XXX: I debug for about an hour couldn't find out why. So i Send out.
Goodness gracious. How can he actually do that??? This is so irresponsible of him.
Me: so now have you found out the reason why?
XXX: I forgot to do a outer join link so all the base accounts were missing.
ME: I thought the most fundatmental checking.....is to check that the total accounts retreived is correct?
Well...he keep quiet lor.....as usual....he will explain many things and a lot of excuses to cover up for his mistakes....I already immuned to it. Just don't understand why he cannot admit to his mistake?? Is it plain egositic?
Back to Tuesday. My PM ask me what happen to the accounts. I told him XXX make a mistake in the codes and thus the missing accounts.
Well....that XXX knows about it and is damn UNHAPPY.....and had a heated argument with him....he says
XXX: Why msut I pinpoint him.
ME: PM already know he is the one who did the coding. So i just told him what is the error made on a high level basis....
XXX: Even I make an error. you don't have to pinpoint me and so personal to mention I make the mistake....
You could have tell him what is the techincal checks he have done to make sure such errors does not happen again.
ME: You think the boss is so busy and he is interested to know such low level techincal things you going to enhance? As a PM, you think he is interested to know all the techincal he did?
All he is interested is the final output and deliverables.
XXX: I still think you need to tell him that all the technical things he did.
ME: I think there is no such need if you want, you can write to him yourself.
Well..the conversation ended in a very unhappy and agitated mood...
Obviously I wasn't too happy. I went to tell him company PM(head) about what happen and he need to talk to his staff....
3 of us ended up in the room....
Well...his head...did agree that "The overseas PM will not be interested in those low level thing and no point telling him those things. What he wants is the deliverables."
He did tell his staff that me as team lead..I should also decide all this and he shoudl listen to me...
Guess what he add on?
XXX Boss: Aiyah sometimes man more egoistic. Like me I make mistake at home sometimes I also insist to my wife to give me face... coz I am a man.
Me: I told him..that is personal things between him and his wife at home...At work we got to be more professional...All this things about egositic does not apply at work....
When you make a mistake, you admit it and ensure the other party that such things will not happen again....
What is he trying to tell me???? Tell me to give face to his staff coz he is a 38 years old man???What is that Crap....*I very agitated le*...Not professional at all..
XXX Boss: Why don't both of you change seat? work might be better if we change seat...soemtimes..he believe in this feng shui thing.
Me: Comon. don't give me that crap. Is all about being professional and the attitude at work...I dont believe al this changing seat will change his attitude....
XXX Boss: Well I believe and I will do whatever it takes to make things better....
Me: And do you know besides telling XXX what to do everyday, I have to be liek his PA write his summary email on things to do for that day.... coz XXX say he is busy and too troubleoem for him to write down what needs to be done....What is that attitude...It is his own forgetfulness and he is not willing to do anyting to it...and I ahve to behave like his PA.
I was thinking to myself..Aren't I like his PA?
XXX: Aiyah...colleagues got to give and take ma.....help one another....
What is that crap again???? Obviously he is siding with his staff....Obviously I wasn't happy...
Well...I will see how things goes this week..continue to monitor his attitue...If things goes on this way..then sorry lor...not my pasar...he got to answer for his own attitude...
Well...this guy was supppose to complete something last Fri to be send out to my PM overseas....At6pm, he finish generating his files

Another 2 days and ......it will be 2 months I been in this project....
My PM here is good...and I like the environment as well...the only drawback here..is my team member....sigh.....sometimes..I feel additional stress to work with him.....
WHY? Simply because I am like his Mama....Can you imagine...."A MAMA taking care of a 38 year kid"????..My Goodness....worse than taking care of a baby.....
Well...the story start like this...I have a 38 yrs old guy developer.....Hmm...I must compliment him ..that he has quite a good technical background.....However, a developer is not just a person doing coding and nothing else......
I guess normal things like time management, updating status, basic writing email skill, phrasing sentences and checking data output from the written source code......is also a MUST KNOW....in the working society....
Morever, he has been working in this quite famous consulting firm for a few years...and he always like to tell me...."HOW SOUGHT AFTER" he is...and people from different project is fighting for him...to join their project....etc....and the complimenting of himself goes on....
Well..initally...I thought so...but now...I start to take what he says with a pinch of salt....
It all begins when...he is first suppose to submit his first deliverable....on XXXX day....well..he comes late....take long lunch break..and sometimes...disappear...in the middle of the day...for tea break...so I guess....he must have ample time...to do his things...and had planned his time well..to complete his task on time...
For me, I don't really try to constrain a person working time as long as the person is able to deliver.....
But now I seriously....got to keep a close watch on this person....Mr XXXX
The day when he is suppose to give me his deliverables, he didn't complete his work...and didn't bother to update me his status.....nor didnt preampt me that he is unable to deliver his work....
Of course I was unhappy as I will not be able to answer to my PM....
I had learn a lesson and ...Subsquently, I begin to check on him..every single day....on his status keeping a close watch just like a watch dog....Can you imagine how tired I feel...having to do this on a 38 yrs old guy???
The funniest thing is....I have created a issue log for our project...and send him email related to him on the project...he actually did not bother to read the issue log, email, related documents on the project...I got a shock of my life when I found out....How could such a experienced person...who have work so many years to display this kind of "DON'T CARE" attitude....
Well....as usual, when I ask him...he goes round and round...telling long story and giving all sort of excuses..to cover up for his mistake....after 2 months...I am more or less immune to his excuses....
Guess wat...10 times...out of times ..the work he deliver has got error or the data is inaccurate or wrong etc.....
Nowadays, I have to take extra effort and detail to check his work....Isn't that worse than checking my own work.....
To make matter worst.....whenever I explain to him some stuff, he will nod his head says he understand....few days later, when he deliver his stuff...."ACTUALLY HE DON'T UNDERSTAND" because the logic that was suppose to incoporate in his code is wrong..*faint*..
Then I realise he don't understand...
The strangest thing is ...Whenever I ask him to change something..before sending out the output to my PM or user, he will send out without changing...*fuming* ....."Am I talking to a tree or wall?? When I question him, he will say he forgot.....First few times....I still can tolerate....and I told him..since he is forgetful, then do something about it.
Like taking notes down on what is needed to be done...Guess what is his reply? "Aiyah..too troublesome"....goodness gracious....Is that the attitude that a MNC professional like him should display.....*VOMIT BLOOD*
Finally I have a 30 mins talk with him.....during the 30mins talk, I told him my expectations...his mistakes.. the standards in his deliverables.....etc...
Throughout the whole conversation and the 2 months of working with him, he will always comes out with all kinds of excuses for his mistake that I have point out..not even a "SORRY" or acknowlegement of his mistake....But jsut keep telling me "Aiyah sometimes a lot of things to do and change then forgot lor"......Crap....if it happens so many times...."DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT"??? Isn' that what a normal person will even do???
To be frank, I guess..in this world..everyone make mistakes...Most importantly is you must learn from mistake, admit you are wrong and try to change for the better....
Instead of that ....he displays a nonchalant attitude....that is what pisses me off.....Just like he feels....I am singing....."LALALALA".....
Well other than that, he is quite ok la....at least he is not scheming or political kind....same like me...just say what you feel....
Guess what nowadays when i ask him to do something, I actually have to send a summary note...to remind him on what needs to be done instead of he doing that himself....Don't you think that I am like a MOTHER now???
Well..I hope....is going to be over soon...else I will get High Blood pressure.....

Tuesday, December 26, 2006
Had 2 gathering on Christmas Day....started my day earlier by watching the Chinese movie "Confession of Pain" by Leung Chiu Wai........Hmm..my comments...Is not a bad show la...But can't be compared to Infernal Affairs.....coz in Infernal affairs...we have to keep guessing who is the spy..but in confession of pain, right from the start.....it already show who is the killer..sigh..lost the excitement gone when u continue watching......
After the show....rush to Eugene Lam's house for a xmas party.......it started with a real bad merry-go-round...near his house at Kimis Ave..his area seem like a maze...going round and round just to find that particular unit lor and it not the first time I been there...*hehe*....Eugene you owe me one...for making my head spin.....
*LOL*.....hmm...saw a lot of unfamiliar faces there...haha....actually...nothing much to chat with the rest...except chatting with Eugene lor and catching another glimpse at his beautiful wife.....*Bleah*......but his house is really quite nice....and talking about his family......kids is smart...and the wife is definitely very very pretty......but what a pity...didn't manage to take a picture of the wife.......Finally had a pic with him and his daughter....
Got a xmas cum birthday present from Eugene ...keke...but I thought it should be 2 instead of 1....coz is 2 occasion ma.....*Roll eyes*....keke....*Just joking*
Who I went with? Who else but......
After some sips of wine and 2 hrs stay at Eugene house...left for another gathering at Toa Payoh with his secondary classmate....
Before I forget, actually my project site had a small xmas party on 22Dec..keke....it was quite pathetic actually..with a cake and some chips, chocolate and wine...not sure if that's the culture of Swiss people celebrating X'mas thou....haha..but it's ok la.....I don't really fancy food...so is the mood and the fun involved....
This is the combination of 2 project team...can you see me hidden inside the urm.... the *blacks*...haha......*just joking*
O...and here's another lady......whom I think very "gum key" with me...working in CS as well....keke.....very nice of her..to buy me "a slice of birthday cake" on my birthday....
Can you believe she oladi have 2 sons..and the elder one is already 5 yrs old....Wah...must ask her for "mi fan" on maintaning her figure so well...
and finally..presenting...the PM of CS Markus....who has been really helpful....ever since I join....he is really really tall......and I always got a neck ache when I stand up to talk to him.....*Wahaha*.....

That Adrian....made us wait for so god damn long......so no choice lor...we got to start first..since Ms Pris is hungry......
We had dinner at the supposingly famous Bie Fu La Mian......it is well known for it's la mian....
But Yucks...the food sucks.....services even worse......and the price is not cheap as well...in comparision to sushi-tei....
First of all, we ordered some side dish to start with SHISAMO.....it taste lousy lor......and it was not deep fried...till crispy..... *bo standard*
UNAGI.....is not cook well either as the taste of the fishy smell is very strong..IKA...is even worse.....the flesh taste damn tough lor.....overall I would only give the food there 1 star.....I think very good liao....coz I find the food doesn't deserve a star at all..
Got this present....ermm....a story book lor..Thank you hor..Ms Pris..knowing very well...I don't read story book....guess the book is going to grow mushroom at home...

Oops I haven't commented on the services yet.....I ask for the bill...guess what the waiter told me?
Ms Prettie: Bill Please
Waiter: Aiyah..you give me you credit card first....
Ms Prettie: How can you ask for my credit card without even showing me the bill *puzzled*
Waiter: Aiyah, I won't cheat you la, wait I have to walk in and out. (The restaurant is damn empty lor)
Ms Prettie: I think you better show me the bill first.
I was complaining to Ms Pris lor... *You can imagine how piss I am*
Well, of course the waiter got no choice but pass me the bill before I show my credit card. Of course he wasn't please either.....not even a *Thank You* ok... Don't you think the services sucks....I promise myself..I will never go there again...and I spend a whopping $100 bucks there...for lousy food and services.

I was intending to sign up for a one year Yoga membership as I have severe neck and shoulder pain due to my work. Therefore I had a so-call free 1 week trial class at True Yoga.
The very first day I went to True Yoga, I was pestered by the Sales Consultant to sign up for a 2 yr membership. What is that crap. Before I even had the trial, I am already push to sign up. So ridiculous right. I hate people to do hard selling.
They guy will then tell you they waived processing fee, joining fee, etc....and add in this $$ voucher that benefits...and only apply for today.....I don't believe in that crap. Coz this promotion is like valid everytime you go there to enquire about membership.
So I told the guy straight on the face. I won't make decision on the spot and no matter what you say, I will not give in. Furthermore, I haven't even been to the trial. How would I know if I like it. These people really care abt $$$$ only.....@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#$
Actually I heard a lot of bad comments about True Yoga. On their sales tatic, they always push people to sign up and their service-staff are not customer oriented. Class are pack to the fullest during peak hours. So full that one instrutor in a class of 70 students are not enough. Especially for those beginner student, you wouldnt know if you be doing the postures right....
For me, I am lucky coz I wasn't a beginner and I am just interested in the Hot Yoga room that make you perspire more without much attention from the instructor.
Last night, I went to the Hot Yoga session. As the previous sales consultant that attended to me was not around, another XXXX guy attended to me. Guess what my class finish at 930pm. I was intending to reach home before 1030pm. After the class, the XXX guy bring me to the resting area....and keep pestering me to sign up the membership for almost 45mins and refuse to let me go. Worst of all, he didn't want to return me the 1 week trial class pass just because I didn't want to sign up on the spot.
I told him umpteen times that "is already very late and I am very tired. I do not wan to make any decisions at this point of time"...
I was having a sore throat then..so I really hate to keep repeating myself....
Finally....I couldn't take it anymore. I told him that in a very unhappy manner and of course my face don't seem to be happy. "I am the kind of person that if I do not want to buy means I wont buy. No amount of things you said can make me change my mind". I told him as well straight on the face I am "turn off" by the way he try to hard sell me and pestering me to sign up immediately on the spot.
Well...things start to get sour...and I can see his face and tone is changing...finally...after 45mins of pestering, he agree to let me go off...but not wanting to return me my trial class pass.....What is that crap.
I thought trial class is suppose to be 1 week free??? Why do you take it back just becuase I refuse to sign up immediately??
I seriously think that the management of True Yoga should disclipine their sales consultant well.
Sigh....however that's the only Yoga school that is conveniently located in Raffles...Guess I seriously do not have much of a choice.

*Goodness Gracious*....I realise one of my diamond earring is gone..*Ahem*
my birthday is coming soon....
I was admiring myself in the mirror....Next moment you could find me frantically squatting on the floor searching for my earring.....*SOB*......its's gone.....it's a gift from my mum....
I tried to call home to inform my mum the moment I notice it was missing.......My mum told me the back of the stub was retrieved from my bed.....Well I guess the front part of the diamond earring.....should be drop somewhere in the public since it is not be secured on my ear. It was a real bad morning....sigh...
Guess I have been real unlucky this 2 days...I said that because I got a reason.....
I was travelling back home on the MRT the previous evening.......when this fat woman.....couldn't balance herself properly...the next moment....her stiletto was on my big toes.....*Ouch*....I shouted loudly.....and a number of people on the train turned and look at me wondering what was happening. Obviously....is so painful right...*roll eyes*.....
Tears almost roll out my eyes....
I think this woman must be very jealous of my beauty....that is why she gave me a very hard step.....hmm......Woman's are weird creatures.......haha..
Always doing the most unexpected things
