Administrative Professionals Day

Administrative Professionals Day formerly known as Secretary's Day is an unofficial holiday observed on the Wednesday of the last full week of April, to recognize the work of secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists, and other administrative support professionals.

Our team gave our Mother Judy a surprise lunch at Yishun Safra to show our appreciation. She play an impt role in our workplace and we do recognise her efforts in all ways. Kudos to her!

How long does it take to form a habit?

Depends what one is taking. Coke, heroin, crack etc. are easily habit forming because the feeling of pleasure is so great. Before you know it - habit! Cigarettes and alcohol, well, they take a while longer but still addictive. Don't forget that the personality of the taker is important, someone with an addictive personality will fall under the spell faster.

It takes 20 days for ur brain to consider sumthing routine aka a habit, same with breaking a habit just reverse it.

Why am I talking abt habit?

Because I really cant stand CBM anymore. CBM sleeps whenever he wants, spends most of his time sleeping and lazy around on the bed. Once it become addicted.One is burnt out. Without being aware on what is fantasy or reality in time. Hope to see improvement in him! Time is precious, makes use of it, treasure it and don't waste it so easily.

Temper, temper and temper

I have been in an absolutely foul mood since two weeks for a variety of reasons, chief being a bad bout of PMS which has utterly messed up my hormones and turned my state of mind upside down. In fact, I've rarely had PMS so bad. Some people may beg to differ and insist that I'm temperamental most of the time anyway, but besides the haywire temperament this month's PMS has brought with it the full works.

I'm so stressed up with quarterly month end too and with all the shitty thing done by our office's resident Mr. Incompetent (who shall remain unnamed) fucked up. Mr. Incompetent caused problems between me and my buddy colleague. A little confused about orders and which was exacerbated by Mr. Incompetent sitting around on his ass not doing anything to fix the mistake for a month.

I was horrified. Don't ask me why, since my mood was already foul and I could feel that my temper was getting unstable, I even cried in the office. Oh my god! Is not a professional way to release my stress in the workplace. -Room for improvement!

Conversation btw mummy and me.

Mummy: When are you going to settle down? You're not young anymore!
Me: To be honest with you mummy, I am perfectly happy being single.

Mummy: I don’t think you will stay single forever. I’m sure you will find someone when you least expect it!
Me: Oh really! But being single is fun and can be wild too.

Mummy:You need someone there to “lean on when times are rough”
Me: No worries mummy, I got a lot of friends for me to lean..Hee hee... I can still select who I want to lean.

Mummy: Wasting my time talking to you! I would rather talk to a dog and he wail his tail to me when I talk to him.
Me: Mummy, you're wasting my time too. But hor, dog cant give you monthly allowances and address you "mummy"...hehehe..

This is how we communicate! ha ha ha...

Birthday Surprises- 2 bouquet of flowers!

What surprised me the most was that "A" & "B" actually got me flowers, and made sure they were wrapped in my favorite color, purple. i haven’t received flowers since… valentine’s day? while most singaporean guys are saying “flowers are a waste of money”, "A" & "B" were like “every girl deserves flowers on her birthday”. Kudos to that! Singaporean guys should try to learn this instead of lamenting the fact that girls are ending up with their caucasian counterparts.

Bangkok Trip for the Perfect Birthday Getaway

I’m going on a birthday getaway holiday further than Malaysia this time! Whee! I’ve booked the tickets to Bangkok in early March! I'm going with my mummy and gu gu, 3 womans from "Choi" family.

Bangkok trip was great! To me, it is one of the shopping paradises! The previous time I visited Bangkok was in 2004! One thing, Bangkok ladies are becoming prettier as compared to the previous time I was there! Anyway, it was a shop-till-you-drop-dead-trip for us! My legs were about to detach anytime by Day 3 in Bangkok! Haha, I know I sounded exaggerating but this was how I felt by then! And most amazingly, we only ate 3 meals per day! So, can you imagine how much we have walked and shopped for the 4 days trip?Ok, no need to go into explicit details how we done our shopping! I would just summarise what we have bought! Hehe

Here’s the evidence!

And I have yet to unpack my stuff! Someone helps me unpack, please?

Happy birthday, Amy!

Ist Celebration @ Office

Happy Birthday! I just celebrated my xxth birthday last week with a mini ice-cream party instead of a birthday cakes from Andersons. I just love their chocolate ice-cream which is so yummy. Mmmmm...

I’d like to thank especially my colleagues for putting much thought and effort into my birthday celebration as well as their gifts.
