The day i died at work

Yesterday, i died at work.

I died because:

- I missed the LIG main comm dinner.
- Everyone at work was frustrated and tired.
- Repeatedly scanning 198 cartons is NOT GOOD AT ALL.
- Manual reconciliation of SO MANY CARTONS IS EXASPERATING
- My legs were aching because i had to stand for a few hours.
- I didn't have dinner.
- I worked non-stop until 10.45pm.
- Having 6 Managers and Senior Managers watch you type is NOT FUN.
- Some people at work have VERY BAD ATTITUDES.
- Repeated IT Problems is hair-pullingly and table-smashingly annoying.



And thats how i died.


I was so tired, i fell asleep whilst talking on the phone. 宝剑！ 对不起 ：（

GRAH-DOO-AY-SEE-OHN

All in a Noot-shell

So much has happened.

Graduation was wonderful. I thank my brother for coming. At first i was still thinking, maybe it would be better if he didn't go - its so inconvenient for him to travel so far, and it would be a boring ceremony for him.

Then after the ceremony was over, i was glad that i had family with me :)

So, Thank you Kor <3

Anyway, after Graduation and TONS of photo-taking. We (Gavin, Aaron, Gek, Nat and Myself.) met for dinner at La Mei Zi - MA LA HOTPOT!

It was time well spent. :) We ate and ate and ate. and drank. and wiped. (wiped off perspiration from our brow). It was wonderful. I enjoyed myself. After that we headed next door to HK Cafe to indulge in some REALLY good Milk Tea and Coffee and Bolo Buns. <3 Lovely.

Graduation has left me feeling accomplished but a little bit scared. Scared of the future, scared of leaving my comfort zone, scared that I won't be in contact with my Polymates. But i'm sure the Good Lord sees my fears, and He knows my fears. :)

Yesterday (at work), we were supposed to prepare for a physical simulation of the entire process flow (Information, Goods, and Documents) for the new warehouse. The Customer was supposed to arrive at 4, but they only came at 4.30pm. We dragged on and on and on till 7.45pm. Yes, OT.

And as i was playing with the system, there were SOO many errors - my goodness. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Especially when you're demonstrating to your customers. Tsk tsk tsk. So worrisome.

And then the IT dept keep promising the customer everything will be done by today. by today. by today. And today we're only working half day. WHERE ARE WE GONNA FIND TIME.

>.<

Misheard Lyrics :D

Sometimes Misheard Lyrics are the funniest things.

I've had my share of them.

As i was sharing with Gek and Aaron last night during dinner, i'm currently hooked on the song "No One" by Alicia Keys, which they totally dissed me for being outdated and everything. Who cares.

Anyway, when i first heard the song I was extremely puzzled.

I THOUGHT Alicia Keys sang:

"I just washed your clothes,
So you can stay forever."

Then i realised (after a few hearings), She meant:

"I just want you close,
Where you can stay forever."

And i laughed for a little bit. Then i remembered the other Lyrics i misheard - "Ghost of Me and You" By BB Mak.

I THOUGHT, there was a line in the chorus that was weird.

"It isn't love, it's rubbery.
I'm sleeping with the Ghost of you and me."

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD LOVE BE MISTAKEN TO BE RUBBERY.

Then i went online to check. Revelation.

"It isn't love, it's robbery.
I'm sleeping with the Ghost of you and me."



Hehehehehe.


I invite anyone reading this silly post to think of your own misheard lyrics. And laugh :D

I love the rain the most

Today morning was absolutely lovely. :)



When i alighted from the train, the sky was all gloomy with huge dark clouds. And after i bought my packet milo, i felt cold drops on my arms. It was raining!



I love morning rain. I can't find the right words to express myself. but i love morning rain.



It was all cold and chilly, strangely, the rain smelt like the sea. It was beyond lovely.



I saw that old uncle struggling to light his cigarette in the hair-flipping winds.



I saw the trees sway and the leaves ruffle.



I saw a very nicely dressed lady running across the road with her hands over her head - attempting to shield out the rain (which wasn't very heavy).



And i saw everyone enjoying the cold, strong winds.



It was a lovely morning.

I got on the (very) cold bus, and enjoyed the simple fact that i had shelter. I sang praises (people couldn't hear me because of the engine noises - and the fact that they were all sleeping - wonderful weather to sleep.), sang praises till i fell asleep.

It was a lovely morning.

Losses are hard to deal with

It seems as though everyone is leaving - people i care about, people who are dear to me.

Then i ask myself, why - why do i get emotionally attached so easily?

Not talking about Boy-Girl Relationships and all that. But even with objects and inanimate things, Why do i develop a dependence for earthly things so easily.

Every loss is hard to take, and i have had my own fair share of losses. People at work ask if i miss my mum - Of course i do. Every single day. I miss her. And they give me the sad face everytime i reply.

Psalm 103

"For He knows how weak we are,
He remembers we are only dust.
Our lives are like wildflowers;
Like grass - we bloom and die.
But the love of the Lord remains forever."

The bible says that the Lord will not put me through any test that is too difficult for me. And i believe that - with all my heart and soul.

I have many friends who are going through periods of testing - and it has resulted in alot of struggling and heartaches.

Let this be an encouragement.

Know that whatever test you're going through is put in place only to strengthen and mold you. God will not put you through an exam He knows you can't handle. So as tough as the "tough times" are, be encouraged, because God knows you're stronger than that! :)
