CNY's nearing!

Yups yups, another year and it's the Snake's turn to be the King!

My dearest friend who is always informative on horoscopes especially for a new year has been sending me predictions for Ox. Hmm, they sound not bad after all. But predictions for the Monkeys doesn't look good this year. Whatever~

Vendors that I deal with often never fail to surprise me. First it was Chartis Insurance who sent me 2013 calendar and planner with well wishes for the new year and now, D'Associates who sent me a pretty CNY card. The pretty envelope caught my attention initially when I see letters in my in-tray. Then it was the pretty stamp's design. The moment I opened the envelope, I knew it was good stuff. The good quality card is definitely one of the PRETTIST card that I've received!

Though I'm not sure who signed off in the card, but I'm pretty sure they got my name correctly. =x Well, it'll be embarrassing if you received a card but was attention to the wrong party in the card, right?

Notice the "3D" flips on the card? That's the reason why I said it's good stuff!

Receiving this card means CNY is nearing! Counting down, there's only 2 weeks! Though I'm done with spring cleaning my room, it feel like so much more needs to be done. I'm feeling lazy this year again, so I'm not going to wrap any wanton for the reunion dinner steamboat. 😋 Think what's left are the last minute shopping for flowers, frozen stuff for the steamboat, and of course the thing that I need to complete by this week, mailing out of CNY cards to some of my dearest friends and ex-colleagues!

My adorable ex-boss, Hon Hon texted me about the whereabouts of my Christmas Card last year, and I told him frankly that it's gonna be CNY card that he'll receive this year. So.... I MUST send them out this year without delay!

 

 

I always have the habit to reply with a photo of myself to my sis whenever she send me Justin's at-the-moment photo. So this was what I've sent my sis (meant for Justin's pleasure viewing~), of course with some editing on the lighting. Turns out, my face look ubber fair can?! 😞 That's not the skin tone that I want to achieve~ *sads* 

It's Masking Time!

The guys went for backpack trip to Taiwan/Japan (for Ah Bang) and as instructed, they brought our masks back home! Thank you guys for the effort!

I was already looking forward to collecting my masks when Ah Bang (my "caretaker") showed me a picture of the masks that he got for me. Good Job boy! Think the masks can last me for a period of 7 months, that'll means a period of 8 months supplies for me including the remaining ones from my previous stock and some that Phyllis gave days ago.

 

The 7 months supply of masks! The ones that I'm focusing on are mostly on hydration, moisturizing and firming. Not so much of whitening as friends who know me will understand how a weird lady I am, trying all means to have a healthy tan on me.

 

 The consolidation prize for buying so many boxes of masks from the shop. Well done dudes! I would not have thought of taking any samples packs from the store!



Was thanking the guys in our group chat and applauding their effort in sourcing for the masks we "ordered" and got a reply from Ah Bang saying "Do you think I'm good in hunting those masks? Mask is a stranger to me...". That was when they revealed they've got the store assistants to help them gather the masks from the store with the picture we took for them. Haha! One store assistant for one guy each. Not bad huh~

Apparently Lion got a blur blur store assistant. Jan was whining that only 3 out of the 7 masks pictures that she gave are correct. The rest that she got (the packaging was cute though); she have no idea what brand and what uses they have. 😝 Well well, it might turn out a bonus for her! The effect of the masks' solutions might make her look great! 😉

Laughing my Belly Off!

LONG TIME NO SEE SinneeIsCrazy!

I have not stretched my laughing muscles without her around in the Office these few days. She's here without giving any warnings today and mygosh! My belly almost broke bursting into roaring laughter with our conversation. My "tenant", Paku even ask if he can source for other place. How dare him! (>..<)

 

 

Collected the lovely and yummy made with 💕 pineapple tarts from Vic Pa yesterday and decided to pack them for the 'It's a complicated' group in our meet up tomorrow. A little sweet new year goodies to stuff Lion's mouth from his joke-sarcastic remarks. A little blunder here when I texted Baby on my way home yesterday, leaving my tarts in the, fridge.

 

Me: Baby! Imma put the tarts in fridge ok hor? Bag sibey heavy, tmr den bring home.

Baby: Fridge? Noooo~ No need fridge. They are not supposed to be in fridge Baby~

Me: Ohno! They gonna camp in the fridge liao...

Baby: The taste will change ley baby~

Me: I defrost tmr first thing I reach office!

Baby: Defrost can but taste will change and cannot keep for long. Cos will grow water.

 

*Cry die me*

 

 

 

On the way to the post box, Sinnee Is Crazy caught hold of me and we got the shock out of us! Don Don in businessmen suit?! My gosh!!! Stunning to the max! And he looked great in this! Different from his usual "sloppy" jeans and polo-T. Hahaha! His hair was styled specially for this day too! Wish him all the best and of course it will 99.9% turn out well for him. 😇

 

P.S. I seriously don't know what's with every one who tries to bend their needs or crouch when they take pictures with me. 😒

 



P.O.S

A new nickname for the useless partner of mine. I can seriously never force myself to see and respect her as my reporting officer. She simply "enhance" the definition of "POS" each day.

First encounter of the day...

The irresponsible temp staff that was supposed to report work end of the month replied my email, rejecting the offer as he have found himself a full time position offer. Well, can't blame him for taking in this offer, but surely he must have the basic courtesy to inform the HR right? Never mind him, I told POS on this news and she told me to wait for HR 's notice before we source for the replacement. YOU KIDDING ME?! She is the one idling everyday, rushing my poor colleague for the status of the 107 trips' closing reports that she have to check, yet she does not see the urgency and importance of having an extra helper for the peak period?!

My rebellious attitude is striking and I ignored her instructions and went to inform HR on this news. HR told me she is left with 1 temp staff still thinking whether or not to submit his resume. See what will happen if I had "obeyed" her instructions? The only remaining temp helper will be gone!

Second encounter of the day...

An email on PETS enhancement specs was sent out by our IT colleague to her for comments in Dec 2012 and he waited so long for her reply till he asked me if she have forwarded it to me for my follow-up instead, out of curiosity. Well, she didn't until the 3rd reminder from the IT colleague today who pressed on his final note for a reply by this Wednesday. So she forwarded me the email telling me to reply on the specifications by tomorrow morning. Real POS!

She is fortunate that I've been following on this project way before she was here; not much time I'll have to take to digest these enhancements.

Third encounter of the day...

A circular that was only disseminated to the SPM suddenly appeared from no-where and we realized we've been approving and processing payments wrongly. The staff came to inform this POS and she lazily told her to scan the document and she'll inform the AP Team.

Isn't she experienced enough to work with her brains? Isn't she curious to know the background and weigh the implications on this non-compliance? And isn't she not concerned for the team if people challenges us when we start rejecting claims because of this overlooked from the past that we're trying to rectify now?

I'm seriously disappointed in her attitude and behavior as a working partner. It'll be better if she had continue working as a home-maker, taking care of her 2 precious children.

And if you're (readers) are wondering what does P.O.S stands for? It simply means Piece Of Shit.

Bangkok With The Colleagues

A short trip was what we needed before we slog for the ADC Papers and the preparation work for the year end Audit. So we decided to have 4 days retail therapy at Bangkok, and oh oh oh, we worked especially hard during this trip with only 4 hours of sleep each day, sleeping at 2 and waking at 6am consecutively for 3 days.

Few of us flew a day before and a picture was taken to show-off to the other 2 who are still working hard at work before we board the plane. It was only the first day, we've not reach the destination and we're already spending our money at CAT1. Goes to show how much we needed to release our stress.

Flying flying on the plane... I realized this was what most travelers will do when they go in the air. Snapping shots of the "wing" in the sky.

 

 Ooooh Yeah~ We're in BKK! A "welcome" figurine spotted in the pickup, on our way to the Grand Diamond Suite beside Platinum Fashion Mall. Hotel was comfy and it's a real good venue! In the middle of the BIG fashion mall the day and night markets.

 

Started our first BKK Retail Therapy at Platinum Fashion Mall. Loads of deals to buy, loads of items to see. Our legs were screaming in pain and we decided to rest and indulge in the Thai Milk Tea (MUST-TRY) at the Black Canyon Coffee Café in the mall. *slurps*

 

 

Woke up to a hearty spread of breakfast buffet at the Grand Diamond Suite Restaurant. We need to fill our stomach before we "exercise" in the Pratunam Market.

 

Lunch was at Terminal 21, an interesting mall with the concept of various countries' terminal in one. Saw the (MUST-TRY) Thai Mango Sticky Rice and I knew I had to have it for dessert.

 

 

Finally we have survived the day and we're on our way for some Massage. Look at my tired puffy eyes. My gosh, my eye bags are out! (>..<)

 

 

Had to detox my body so ended my breakfast buffet with my all time favourite, Meiji Strawberry flavored Yoghurt! 💕

Day 3 was pretty relaxing with Jatujak in the morning and Asiatique in the evening. Pictures taken was blur, but that was on purpose. I'm loving these blur pictures more than the clear ones. Dreamy dreamy feel~ The ones below were taken at Asiatique.

 



 Hate to end the trip that fast, but have to.... So we decided to go for something different and sinful before we leave for Home. Macdonald Bacon & Egg Pie for breakfast (MUST-TRY!), A&W meals for lunch and Sticky Doughnuts from Missy Doughnuts (MUST-TRY!).

 

These postcards caught my attention when making my orders. Macdonald Postcards only in Thailand that goes to the Charity for every card purchased. Each card cost 20 Bhatt and I got 5 for the one that I know will LOVE it, Toby He san!

A&W Float that's missing out in Singapore..

Chewy Sticky Doughnuts

 

Ending the post with a picture of my loots from BKK!! Enough to spread it out at fleas? 😎 Not all are mine of course~

 

More pictures in my camera, and I shall upload them in Facebook soon.....!
