joelle's bday...

today is joelle's b'day... as usual, nobody will want to work on their b'days, and so, we took a day off today... after sending megan to her nanny, and after having bfast at mcd, and after a short rest at home, off we went to our usual b'day meal...

it has been some kind of a 'tradition' for us... no present, just having time for each other... and time is something that is hard to find nowadays...

anyway, off we go...

 

joelle had been craving for dim sum these few days, so we definitely going for a dim sum buffet today... and its at chinatown... but before that, since we were early, we went over to the 佛牙寺... the buddha tooth relic temple... its a very modern temple with lifts and air-conditioning... and the whole temple is full of buddhas... wonder if anyone counts all of them... :P

and the main attraction... the 4th storey room thats full of gold... this is where the buddha tooth is kept... a chamber full of gold... can't take photo in the room, so gotten this pict from the temple's website... (see, its really modernised, got website wor!) 2 words to describe the chamber... blink blink!!

okie dokie... thats where our dim sum gonna be... yum cha... :9 more photos at ningmengnaicha... but gonna take some time... keke

a very nice lunch... think dinner no need to eat liao... :P

after that, we still got some time and decided to head over to 珍珠坊 to do some grocery shopping and we spent over $100 buying toothbrush, toothpaste, air-refreshioners, etc... spent alot but its really cheap over there wor... :P

and... finally we're home...

dear, a very happy b'day to you... i'm really glad and thankful to have you all these years and can't wait to keep growing old with you... (omg, 好肉麻哦)... thanks, for being the supportive wife, friend, partner, soulmate who's behind me all these years... hey look, from now on you don't have to look at my boring back while supporting me le, there is megan looking back at you!!!

oh ya, happy b'day to valerie too... sorry val, can't celebrate with you like last year... :P

and also happy b'day to 黄天霸的爸....

fubar and dbb

was freaking tired and i really meant FREAKING tired... went back office to work on sat morning 10am, and only managed to get home at sun 9pm... feeling so bloody fed up... whats with the shifting of people away from the main office and then decided to shift them back? whats with not wanting to rent additional office space and then decided to again? whats with renovating and then tear down again, then renovate again? all these changes in just a year or more making it almost seems like having indecisive people up there who just couldn't make up their mind... feeling tired and disappointed, wtf... i'm just too tired to continue writing about work, it just make me feeling even more tired and disappointed, and extremely FUBAR...

anyway, last friday nite, i was watching the tv till late... and with megan sleeping beside me and joelle sleeping on the sofa... and how soundly megan sleeps...

 

 

 

and then, comes the bloody sat morning where most of the whole world rests, we work... cw, der, tc and myself, went back office to work our ass off, and the whole MIS department is overstretched now... not to mention, joelle having to take care of megan while i work...

and while working, i called home to check out joelle and megan... they were at my in-laws' place... its impossible to take care of baby by oneself... after talking to joelle, she passed the phone over to megan to let her hear my voice. to our surprise, when joelle removed the handset from megan, she cried and wanting the handset back... this is the first time she is reacting this way, and there's 2 possibilities:

1. she wants to play with the handset

2. she misses her daddy

whata you think? poll your answer!

and it made me so home sick... making the matter worst, got bad news from joelle that megan is having mouth infection and runny nose... how badly i want to get home... and when i did managed to get to my in-laws' place, the first thing i did, is to check out megan's mouth, and it is really mouth infection lor... and megan, when she saw me, lifted up her hands as if wanting to be carried... of course i can't, i was so freaking filthy from the freaking 34 hours of work... and when she realised i'm not carrying her, she cries... no choice, i carried her... she stopped crying and begin 'talking' as she lean on my shoulder, as if complaining or pouring her heart out to me... everyone in the house exclaimed "aiyo, so yang-or leh..."

and this morning, we took megan to see her pd... and indeed, she is having mouth infection, probably due to her touching and putting things to her mouth... which means, our home is kinda dirty... due to the fact that i didn't clean up often enough... also due to the fact i'm too tired from work... see! its about the god damn work again... poor megan, sick again... and more medicine this time, and more money spent...

 

and because of work, i missed this shot joelle took... now i'm FUBAR and DBB...

 

* fubar: f**k up beyond any repair
* dbb: disappointed beyond belief

i can't hear you....

ytd, i was stuck in the lift at concourse for some 30 minutes and got a fright of my life... the fright, however, didn't come from being stuck in a lift, afterall i did jump out of a perfectly working airplane with a parachute during my army days...

anyway, back to the topic, i was frightened by how frightening other people can get... i boarded the lift at 11th floor and it was kinda loaded with mostly girls from the upper floors... and when the lift came to 2nd floor, it kinda jerked and a loud bang was heard... and the girls went chaotic (thank god the lights still on, else i can't imagine the mayhem it might cause).

 

1st fright factor
after like 10 minutes, the girls begin to complain stuffiness, which of course, it wouldn't get so bad if they didn't start talking and yelling at the comms...

> girl stuck at lift "help~~~ we are stuck in the lift!"
> technician at the comms "dun worry, we'll send someone over to help you"
> girl "WHEN?????"
>technician, after a short pause "... now lor..."

(i can tell you, if the lift ain't that cramp, i would have dropped to the floor... my goodness, still ask them when wor!)

 

2nd fright factor
and then, someone decided to take out her packet of tissue paper and started fanning herself with that plastically 'pik piak' sound... whats worst? the rest follow suite and the whole lift was full of "pik piak, pik piak, pik piak, pik piak..."

 

3rd fright factor
after another 10 minutes, i begin to hear the girls mumbling..
"so hot here" the air con is still working thou)
"so hungry"
"i'm so scared"
"i'm not going to take concourse lift anymore"
i almost faint at the last one... not going to take lift anymore? hello, you all were like working at higher than 11th floor wor...

 

4th fright factor
another 5 minutes, and they started discussing how come the lift got stuck... and one of them saw the notice that only 17 people allowed and there're 19 of us inside the lift... then another smart lady beside me rebuff that claim by saying "but even each of us is 50kg, the weight limit is still not exceeded leh"... i turned to look at the girls and i turned my head back... (i dun think each of them only 50 kg lor... btw, i'm facing the door, else i dun know how to hide my facial expression...)

 

5th fright factor
then we started to hear some voices outside the lift, and the girls begin screaming "help... we're inside!!!"... i think i'm going to suffer from semi-permanent deafness at the moment... and i tot it couldn't get worst...

> technician at the comms "hello hello, is the lift door opened?"
> all the girls "NOOOOOO....!!!!!"

 

ever wonder how it sounds like putting your ears next to an exploding bomb?
what? did you say something? i can't hear you....

mirror mirror on the wall...

this morning, dun know where the hell i got so much energy to wake up early and give megan a bathe, do laundry, sweep and mop the floor... and so much energy that i damaged the mop again... so, off we go to get a new mop and also to have our blunch...

and so the very 不雅观 lor...

after coming back home, we tried to put megan on her 摇篮 and guess she wanna play more to sleep...

but eventually...

om, its going to rain, got to 收衣服了... taa...
