OMG! Today's soooo crazy! I had trouble sleeping last nite and woke up VERY late this morning (at 7.40 AM and work starts at 8 AM!!!!!) just to find this! My stubborn eyes straightaway opened wide wide and yupe. I was WIDE AWAKE.

That was such a great wake up call. Muahahaha. Out of nowhere, endless of energy kept pouring into my being. I was fully charged! So happy to just have 5xmom writing that, with my name and blog addy inside. Wah. Tenkiu so very much 5xmom! It's an honor! For me. Really. =^_______^= Feels like advertisement lar wei. Hidung kembang kempis wor. Waseh! Feels so dang good. Today my nose also feels higher instead of its normal penyet penyet short short ugly self. And the ceiling looks lower than usual. Wakakaka. Uh...

LATE LATE LATE

*looked at the time* ---> 7.50 AM

What?!!!!! OMG I'm gonna be so damn late!!!!

With only 10 minutes to get ready for work, I quickly rushed through everything. Brushed teeth, washed face, pansai panjio (translate : means shit and pee in hokkien), changed clothes, dumped my Lappy, adapter, charger, handphones, car keys, house keys and wallet into my backpack, then scrambled for my safety helmet, safety jacket, wore my socks and safety shoes, carried everything threw them into my car and sped all the way to work like a siao jar boh (translate : crazy gal).

Left home at 8.04 AM, reached office before 8.10 AM. Niceee.

FYI, my office is very near my house. My site too. *2 thumbs up* Supah nice yo!

Walked into the office feeling so light and the moment I sat down, something just felt so wrong.

What was that?

It took me a while to figure that out. My eyes! Bit bit puffy and slightly grayish in color. Like panda eyes! OMG I never had that before even if I stayed awake for 3 days and nights straight! Why today?!

MEETING

Within 10 minutes of sitting in the office I learned that we had meeting with Client at 9 AM.

O.o Oh dear, it's a miserable day I tell you. Meeting with client so early in the morning. I shoulda bring my bullet proof jacket instead of my safety jacket. Ma-deh.

Dragged my feet miserably to Client's office. But upon reaching there hor, I walked like the big big important boss into the building. As if I own the building. Muahahaha. You think that's snobbish? Nope. That's called stood to your ground. Be sure of what you're doing. Hold yourself high and stood by it even when volcanoes erupt and skies came tumbling down. Have pride and high esteem in your own being. Even if you make mistakes, it's not the end of the world ok. Life goes on. Nobody's perfect.

The meeting was over in a flash. Mr. Mousie was so nervous that he called in the whole gang of peps from our side. Ma-deh. Like a mouse calling 100 of its friends out to surround a giant cat for the last brave fight over. Do you think the cat's gonna shudder at the sight of 100 mice surrounding it? Far from it. I bet it'll be grinning from ear to ear. Such a feast! Uwah.

*rubs cat paws together*

*ties napkin around neck*

*reaches for fork and knife*

*feral grin*

PARTY TIME!

JOB OFFER

On the way back to my office from Client's office, I got a call from my ex-boss SC. He's asking me to join him again. This time, he wants me to resign within 24 hours and joins him straight tomorrow!

He's bloody serious. I'm bloody shocked.

He wants me to agree on the spot. I refused to. Grrr. This is my career we're talking about. What's so easy to resign. I worked half dead to get where I am right now you know.

Told him I need time to consider. He was disappointed. I hope he won't give up just yet. If it's really good then I'll take the offer. Right? If it's not and I take it then I'm so gonna kill myself over and over and over again.

SITE SITE SITE

Reached site and noticed that there were many animals there. It's... complicated. The best illustration I can give you is this : Imagine a tiny white bunny hopping its way into a garden packed with a tiger, a bear, a poisonous frog, a bee, a mouse, a hippopotamus, a snake, a pig, a cicak.... and many more.

Now tiger and bear are dangerous ok. But they don't cincai attack wei. I'm ok with them. Poisonous frog too. Froggy is, up to now still ok. Mr. Bee is nice to everybody cuz everybody's a flower mar. The mouse and hippopotamus are plain annoying. Sir hippo always wanna brag and blow hot air baloon. Mouse ler always wanna show off but scared kena attack by the rest of the animals. Snake always wanna ular lor so very sien. The cicak very kaypoh one always report here and there. The pig is just like a pig lor. Oink oink here and oink oink there. But hor, mouse very good with pig wor. Snake very good with hippopotamus wor.

How about the bunny? The bunny is very good with the tiger, bear, frog and bee. Only so so with mouse, pig and cicak. Had very bad impression on both the snake and hippopotamus. Nearly hired hunters to shoot them down. Really!

Do you get the story? Muahahaha. Told ya it's complicated!

PART-TIME LECTURER

Anyway, besides that, I became sorta a part-time Lecturer bringing two new trainees around the site for a briefing. One of them is a QS (young guy) and the other is a Civil Engineer (young gal). Like me. Except that each time she speaks, I literally cringed. Dun like her voice. It's like this high pitched squeak. Euuuuu!

LUNCH

I'll be honest here and tell you this. The best thing going out to lunch is to go with middle aged VERY EXPERIENCED people. Those who has been to all sorts of places and meet all types of people and experienced anything that your measly brain can think of. They are SO ENTERTAINING I tell you!

I love listening to their stories of other countries. Of tribesmen. Their cultures. Their food. Their hunting and surviving skills. Their superb intelligence.

I enjoy their company so much cuz they really know when to switch off the "work" button. They talk about everything and anything but work. It's such a great relief. With them, you really get to know them. Their fav food, outings, hobbies. It shows very clearly on their face. The passion they exhibited when they talk about their beloved hobbies. Fascinating I tell you!

And while watching them chattering ever so excitedly like a bunch of teenage boys going out on their first outing, it makes me realize how very much human they really are. Underneath all those hard layered shell that they'd built with such pain and hard work lies a human being.

I'm relieved! Hahaha! It's good to know that you're not spending so much time with total robots that has no feelings.

SUFFERINGS - SKIN ALLERGY

Sien liao. Remember my spare spec/glasses? Well it's incompatible with my skin. The part where it comes into contact with the metal frame of the glasses is allergic to the paint. Since I sweat a lot at site, the allergy worsen and now it has festered till producing pus. Damn. Hafta go to the pharmacy to buy ointment. Such a waste of money. *sigh*

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#
PHARMACY

Went straight to Pharmacy to buy the much needed ointment. Applied it already once I get back home and after taking my bath. Was told not to wear glasses for several days. I'm typing without glasses. Such a pain in the ass! So difficult! Aiyoh!

Had KFC for dinner. Nothing special to write home about.

BLOGGING

Yeah. That's what I'm doing now. After coming home from dinner, took a bath, settled everything and then started surfing and reading blogs and blogging and posting comments. I'm so tired. I'll realy try to sleep earlier tonite. And hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep.

*looks back*

It's a crazy day indeed. Ugh. How I wish it'll rain as heavily as possible. It's so hot! *sigh*

About a couple of weeks ago, the dustbin at my office mysteriously disappeared. You know? The green coloured rectangular type of dustbin being distributed by the Council several years back? My secretary informed me of this matter after it has been missing for several days. My first thought was : What's the matter with thiefs nowadays? Dustbin pun mahu curi??? Wah lao eh!

We searched high and low for it. Tried to imagine all sorts of place it could end up at. My secretary suspected the culprit to be the construction/renovation workers working at the unit/floor below us. We're at the second floor. They are at the first.

I was like, 'Really? Why tapao our dustbin all the way into their place? That's too much. We need the dustbin too, and it was ours in the first place!'

We never really bothered to go and ask from them though. Until we needed the dustbin that is. So two days ago, I sorta brought the matter up with my Safety Officer (SO). Told him to handle this matter. I jokingly said that without a dustbin, it's quite a health hazard too..haha. I mean where are we supposed to throw our rubbish, right?

My SO did a bit of poking and finally confirmed that the culprit was indeed the renovation workers downstairs, and guess what they used our precious dustbin for?

To bancuh simen. (Translate : To mix cement)

Huh? wtf??? They use our DUSTBIN to bancuh simen??? Wah lao! That's a first. I mean, how creative can you get? geeezzz... -_-''

My col has to carry the rubbish all the way to the nearest dustbin for dumping. Really thankful to him for that. My first reply though when I heard that was 'Aiyah. Apa susah. Buang tingkat bawah sana lar. Dia orang pakai kita punya dustbin bancuh simen, kita pakai dia punya bilik tikam sampah lar dohhh...'

Hehehe... of course, I said that in a joking manner. Not that I wanna cari gaduh with them, but really lar... How low can you get? Aiyoyo...
