Simple Thoughts of Mine

I am nothing special; just a common woman with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough.

A Ghost Story to Share


To those pple who work late...
read the story no matter u like or dun like ghost story...makes you
glued to your chair till the last sentence!
Prior to joining a new company, this guy A was working at boat quay
area.

In those tall building offices like UOB and such. His office was quite
High up the level at least 30 and above. Normally he will have to stay
Back for OT and in the evening, all the lifts will be stopped due to
security reasons. Whenever he wanted to leave, he will need to call the
old security uncle to activate the lift from ground floor to his level.
Then the uncle will send the lift up..

After sometime, he left the company and joined another place where his
office also very high up in the building. Hence if do OT, also need to
call uncle to send lift up. Then it came the day that he's working OT
for the first time at the new place. He stayed back till 12 plus am and
when he's about to leave, he called! the security uncle to send the lift
up. After packing up he went to the lobby to wait for the lift.
He waited and waited. 10 mins passed, Lift not up. He waited for another
10 mins and call the security uncle. S denotes security here.

A: Hello Uncle ah, have you send the lift up?
S: Yeah sent liao.
A: No leh I been waiting for 20 mins liao leh
S: No meh? okie okie I send again.
Another 5 minutes went by. No lift came up. The guy got worried. He's
the last person to leave and there's no one around. He called the uncle
on his handphone again.
A: Er... Uncle ah, you sure you sent the lift up?
S: Yeah I sent it up twice liao leh.
A: But I saw the lifts all on the first floor leh!
S: Aiyoh. Nevermind. I take the lift up and look for you.

Again, A waited. 5 minutes passed but none of the lift are moving. Then
suddenly, his hp ring. The uncle voice was on the other side of the line
sounding very weird.
S: Where are you? ! I am here. But I cannot find you.
All this while A was staring at the display of the lifts. All at level
1..... and the uncle is here.... shit something is not right.
A straight away chiong to the stairs and dashed down the building...
When he reached ground level, he chiong to the security counter and he
found out that....

He had actually called the old security uncle in the building of his
ex-company and not the security uncle of his new office -_- He work till
siao liao and was damn blur. Feeling very pai seh, he also never call
back to explain to the security uncle from the building of his
ex-company.
Blur cock and poor uncle. He must be the one who actually freaked out
going all the way up and saw no one there hahaha

Moral of the story - dun work till becoming like sotong.... Detress by
DANCING............. :-)


When I first read it (before I finish the story), I was like, 'Damn it, I have been working late alone in the office since Sunday. This story's gonna freaks me out! I may not dare to work late again.' When I finished reading the 'horror' story, it got me laughing my ass off. What a SCARY ghost story... WwwOOOooooo....Luckily, I need not call the security to activate the lift for my office when I work OT. Truth is, when you need to meet a deadline, all the fears are gone. =P

More time please...

Stranded on my own in my office on a Sunday evening. In fact, it is already past midnight and I can barely open my eyes now. There were a few others in the afternoon, but the number decreased as each hour went by. Didn't work the least bit on Saturday. Went to the gym for a good workout and did some window shopping. Think of getting a new mobile phone for myself as a X'mas gift. Saw this model Nokia E71. I like the fact it has this metal cover finishing and that it is slim and the review for this model seems fine. My dream phone will always be 8800 series but too pricey. I doubt I will get E71 as a present from anyone. Well, it doesn't matter much anyway. I hope the price will drop abit more by Dec.

Back to reality, another long night this coming week. *yawnz* Just gonna motivate myself by thinking of the coming festive celebrations and the surprises I'm planning for my family, friends and colleagues. I wish I have more time for work and for myself.

What's for Christmas?

Got myself 2 new cookbooks. One of them is ' Martha Steward's Cooking School'. Bought it after less 30% discount @ Borders. I wouldn't think of getting it without any decent discount. It is really a headache finding the 'best' cookbook. My cookbook must contain photos of all the recipes which is one impt criteria in choosing the book. Steps must be easily understood and ingredients must not sound too alien.

I am still studying my cookbook on what to prepare for an upcoming Christmas party. Cupcakes, cookies, molten chocolate cake... BRownies seem boring as I always bake them. I wish I won't be working too late on the eve of X'mas. I wish I can travel out of Singapore during the X'mas holiday. Too many wishes. Hahaha... Just wish that I need not work during the X'mas hols. Most probably I won't. :)

When's my next break?

Starting to feel stressed again. My new engagements have started. I've no break except X'mas break. I longed for another holiday. Hong Kong and Japan are on my Agenda. Hong Kong seems like a regular visit for me. Miss my good friend A. One of the many frds I made during my stay in HK a couple of years back. A never forgets anout me, always welcome me with open arms whenever I visited her in HK. Sincere and sweet and very down to earth.

When's my next break? Probably in June 09. Would love to go Japan with my family. Wanted to bring my parents to see the world. It's high time for them to enjoy life and relax. Can't hardly wait. Arrrgghh!!! Sigh... my busy workload always make me moody. Need to find some activities to colour my hectic lifestyle. Bought a book recently, called 'Don't sweat the small stuff, It's all small stuff.' by Richard Carlson. Read abit of the book, it makes one feel more relaxed and not take things too hard. Life is short anyways. Even after we leave the world, our inbox will never be empty as quoted by the author in the book. Maybe I should not fuss too much about the small stuff and learn to take things easy especially heartbreaks. Still can't handle them well.
