Happy Retirement Mom

Being a proud daughter of a teacher who taught Form 6 Add Maths for many years, I took a liking in the subject and excelled in my Add Maths.

Being the head of Science and Maths department in a school, she earned much respect, but also gave her much burden and work that sometimes were too much to handle.

She had been teaching every since she started into the working life. Though its not the career she exactly wanted, yet she still stuck with it till the end. 30 years of teaching, facing pressure from naughty and stubborn students, I really respect her for having that kind of patience. Well, being the very good kid myself, I didn't give her too much trouble... there're just sometimes that I don't clean, don't listen, don't care..... haha! :P Alright fine, she has great patience for me too.

She is retiring soon... end of the year to be exact. Her students and fellow colleagues came together and made a little celebration for her. I wasn't there for the celebration, but according to her, they practiced some dance for her, shows, speeches, and gave her loads of presents. Many of which she don't even know where to put, or when to use them. Some of them are quite funny. Cute cow cup enough to hold one shot of espresso, a musical box which is not exactly a box, a green jade bracelet, a kiddy photo frame... We certainly had a good laugh from some of these things!

Some were really nice... some were quite expensive too. I was amaze at how the people were willing to spend for the gifts and to put in so much effort for the celebration. (A student contacted me secretly to ask for her young-time photos) I guess my mom did leave a very good legacy behind.

And I think I'll strive for that too. :D

Free time

My boss isn't here today. He took Monday and Wednesday off. And because of that I would have to take shorter lunch today... because one of us have to be here at least... in case something happens *touch wood* Oh well, I'll just ask my senior to take away food for me. Kesian... *sniff sniff*

Because of that too, without that watchful eyes, I would have plenty of time blogging today! muaahhaa!! shh....... Of course I make sure I finish my tasks 1st la.

Now what shall I blog about?

Hmm... its hard to get inspirations only when I sit down in front of my computer and blog. Normally I get inspirations when I'm in the shower, in the toilet or right before I fall asleep. And hope that I will remember whatever I wanted to say the next time I blog. But well, it doesn't really happen that way.

Maybe I shall bring with me a notepad the next time I go to the loo.

hehe!

To bump into the same cute guy you're eyeing at several times, is pretty exciting.

To get stared back at by the cute guy you've been staring at a couple of times, is breathtaking.

To be approached by that same guy.... is totally mind-blowing!

Guys with PMS

Oh man... Is it just me? Or does anyone feels that sometimes guys have worse mood swing than girls?

I don't know why it has become so obvious to me. Maybe I just happen to be around some really moody guys recently.

One moment, he would be all smiley to you, joking and laughing. Just when you turn around, he could be cursing, scolding or grumping about something! *hides* Or sometimes I wonder what could have offended them in the morning when they greet you good morning with that I-couldn't-be-bothered look. What's his problem!?

Sometimes we'll joke about it and say that the guy is going through some sort of 'PMS'. But really... it isn't normal for a guy to have 'PMS' right? Or has the world changed? Maybe evolution caused men hormones to have temporal mood swing periods too! Aiks!

Sigh... due to this... I think even the most good looking guy sometimes just doesn't look that attractive anymore.

Something is wrong with me....

I think there's something wrong with me...

During lunch time today, we went to have a look at the Harvey Norman warehouse sale which doesn't have much things. We left after walking around the place for 10 minutes. What a warehouse sale, and they charge RM1.50 for the carpark. Well, anyway that's not what I wanted to talk about.

As we left the carpark, I had to turn right and cross a busy road to get to the other way. I waited there for more than a minute, then saw this bike coming at average speed. Well, I could have crossed easily if my mind was clearer. Instead I hesitated, wait for 2 seconds, accelerate, and break. OMG I ended up in the middle of the road. What in the world was I thinking? The guy on the bike was so confused and angry, he would have showed me his finger. My friends asked me what happened to me after that, but I couldn't answer them. I didnt know myself! What was I thinking? Suddenly I felt so blur. Like I couldn't think properly. Brain clogged or something.

After that I couldn't help but felt that something was wrong. Like some kind of disturbance, maybe like something was going to happen? If spiritual attack feels like this, it is freaking scary. Even when we were at the eating place, I felt uneasy. Bad mood? PMS? Or 6 sense maybe? huh.... o.0

Well, something did happen. Right next to where I parked my car, there was an accident. The road was quite squeezy because there were cars parked by the side, causing a lorry to drive into an aiport limousine taxi, scraping off part of the taxi boot, leaving half the boot door hanging. Hard to imagine I know, but taking a picture of it was far from my mind at that time. Nobody got hurt of course. And I quickly drove off my car to park at another place.

Then suddenly Yian told me she had a nightmare last night. And I remembered my nightmare last night. I dreamt of accidents in construction sites. Something from a kind of truck/tank/mover snapped and the whole thing overturned, killing the driver on top of it. The scary thing was, I didn't dream of one accident by itself. Instead it was like watching a documentary of all accidents similar to that. Different place, different people, same accident, driver dies. One after another. Urgh... My heart jumps a beat whenever I think of it. Its like watching the Faces of Death!

Now do you think I'm crazy? I think I seriously need a dream interpreter or maybe a psychiatrist.

Today....

.....my presentation is postponed again. Donno whether I should be happy about it or not. I don't have to go through being nervous and all today.... but yet I have to prepare for the next time.... go through the slides again and again... think through my speech again... but well, practice makes perfect.

.....is going to be my 1st time going for gym(in Msia). Finally, after months of consideration, I've took up initiative and signed up for the Jackie Chan California Fitness. Although I don't have the right exercise wear or sport shoes, I guess I'll go well with whatever I have. And I'm gonna build up my muscles and show the true colours of a chilipadi! muahhaaha!

.....there was electricity outage again. sigh.. donno what's wrong with TNB! Can you believe it? 3 outage in 2 months! This is bad... baaaddd.....

Paiseh Incident!

ARhh!! I did a super silly mistake today!

Previously my table was occupied by other colleagues before me. And many colleagues used the same phone extension number, as the one I'm using right now. And so happened previously the accountant sat here b4.

Today I got a call from Maybank to confirm a cheque. I got calls from them before, so I frantically searched through the telephone list and gave them the front receptionist number to call.

A minute later, one of our emergency phone rang. Since its the emergency line, you can imagine tension building up among the escalating team. So one of the guys picked up, went stunned and said out loud, 'Maybank?!'. You should know by now, I gave Maybank the wrong number!! And gave the whole team a fright! hahahah!

OMG! So paiseh! Now everyone is making a joke out of it, asking me to give the senior's number to call next time! I need to find a hole to hide now... byebye!
