J was asking if I wanted to ask the 2 guys along…
I told her they seem to be MIA-ing as there is no response to my sms for Xmas and a call to one of them…
I dunno but the feeling is not good…

Believe it or not

Most friends who know me knew my love for having fortunes told…

I went to a lady last week who told me:

I can’t marry early (at least 33 or after)
I must find a man much older than me; the older the better
Lucky colours: Blue, Black, Grey, Silver, White
Colours to avoid: Red, orange, purple, green, yellow
Lucky numbers: 4,9,1,6
I have affinity to go overseas

Many of what was told many years ago seem a little diffrent…ie. lucky colours
Somehow, some of it remain…(marrying age and man)

And yes, I have shifted office…
And survived a VVIP visit, together with the endless stream of VIPs to come…

And I got a interesting picture to share…
Whoever finds the mystery gets a peck…lolz

unlikely visitor

what did i do today?

too many things have happened recently…
to be precise, too much happened in the last week…

after a ‘therapeutic’ (and impromptu) gathering last night which lasted till 2am…
i woke with a sense of determination to accomplish tasks on my own…

itz been a long while since i traveled alone to do things alone…
I went to Waterloo Street to pray at the temple…
For a peace of mind…

Too long a while i last had a haircut, so i went to the nearby hairdresser…
Surprised that hairdresser mentioned my hair was thick at the bottom…
Only thinning portion is at the crown (sighz)…
The more i see my reflection, the more convinced I am in need of a new rebonding job…
Almost had the impulse to do a makeover for a new hair colour…
Fortunately, good sense din forsake when i saw the remaining colour ends of a dye job from 3 years back…

At home, i decided i needed a good cleanse on my face…
Did a peel-off mask, followed by a clay mask…
Will do another sheet mask tonight…
Hopefully, that can delay my pennies from going the beautician…

I can’t stand whiney guys

To me, guys are to lend a shoulder to lean on…(even when they are not well built)
Or at least, offer a listening ear (regardless it is active listening or not)

The very last thing they should do…is to whine incessantly.

If you are an adult, behave like one.

“My arms are aching, you need to give me a massage” is not something to tell your female colleague. (especially when she is older than you and is NOT within interest area)

“I’m so tired from the workout” is not something to tell outright to your boss, just because you overdid the routine at a new gym signup.

There is really a thin line to tread between being friendly and whiney.

Thank you for:

Flattering me when you proclaim you will miss me when you leave. (though you arrived barely for 2 weeks)
Helping out with some manual tasks

But you need to do a self-check to stop the Big Baby Syndrome

P/S: Maybe slacking off the gym membership could save your hide at work.

Why I fired my secretary…

Last week was my birthday
and I didn’t feel very well waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast
hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,
“Happy Birthday!”,
and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out,
she barely said good morning,
let alone
” Happy Birthday.”

I thought…
Well,
that’s marriage for you,
but the kids….
They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast
and didn’t say a word.
So when I left for the office,
I felt pretty low
and somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office,
my secretary Jane said,
“Good Morning Boss,
and by the way
Happy Birthday ! “
It felt a little better
that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o’clock ,
when Jane knocked on my door
and said, “You know,
It’s such a beautiful day outside,
and it is your Birthday,
what do you say we go out to lunch,
just you and me.”
I said, “Thanks, Jane,
that’s the greatest thing
I’ve heard all day.
Let’s go !”

We went to lunch.
But we didn’t go
where we normally would go.
She chose instead at a quite bistro
with a private table.
We had two martinis each
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office,
Jane said, “You know,
It’s such a beautiful day…
We don’t need to go straight back to the office,
Do We ?”

I responded,
“I guess not.
What do you have in mind ?”
She said,
“Let’s drop by my apartment,
it’s just around the corner.”

After arriving at her apartment,
Jane turned to me and said,
” Boss, if you don’t mind,
I’m going to step into the bedroom
for just a moment.
I’ll be right back.”

“Ok.” I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and,
after a couple of minutes,
she came out
carrying a huge birthday cake …
Followed
by my wife,
my kids,
and dozens of my friends
and co-workers,
all singing “Happy Birthday”.

And I just sat there…

On the couch…
