Rain.. Rain.. Rain..

It had been raining heavily since last evening till now… my feet and pant was never seem dry.. feel so cold in office.. The weather just reflected my mood.. I hate rain when I have to go to work.. I should work from home today.. but I need to report in due to my stupid laptop.. It is finally pronounced “dead”.. IS department have officially issued a "PC dead" letter for me to requisite a new laptop.

And my two guppies died last nite when I return home.. This morning, the others two died too.. wanted to buried them this morning.. but it was raining heavily. I feel so bad. When I brought them back, I told them that they are so lucky to come home with me.. I’m totally wrong. I killed them.. they could have live longer.. they must have suffered lots for the past few days… I’m sorry fishes.. I thot I gave you a new home :-(

Poor fishes.. What have I done wrong? Not enough oxygen? Too much foods? No clean water? Last nite, the other two are still alive.. I changed the water and gave them more oxygen balls... this morning, they are found up-side-down. I'm so helpless!!

Be Optimistic

~*~*~*~

How do you see the half glass of water, half empty or half full? If you do not believe you can do something, you probably won't be able to do it. If you do believe you can do something, you probably can.

How optimistic are you about exceeding your goals this year? Believe in yourself and believe in Northwest Airlines; there are great things happening with both.

ACTE 23-24Aug

I was out of office 2 days attending the Association of Corporate Travel Executives Conference (ACTE) at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

It was a nice break to get away from the daily routine work.. and I had a good times with our alliance partners (SkyTeam).. Gals as usual, we hanged around together chatting all days..

Lunch on 1st day sponsor by SkyTeam so we had a VIP table..

Day 2, the gals decided to hang out at the Marina Square Billy Bombers.. My first visit to Billy Bombers.. have been wanting to go but the foods portion is really huge..

My first try on Mango coke.. smell like mango but taste like coke.. Ann-Marie had the same drink as me.. Dahlia and Janice ordered coffee coke. Evelynd was less adventureous.. she ordered ice coffee.. We had cheese fries. The manager was so nice.. he gave us a plate of complimentary nacho with salsa and cheese.. Maybe we gals are too noisy.. ha!ha! It is a nice place and we are going back on 22Sep for Janice's farewell party..

The manager also give each of us a S$11 voucher.. (only valid when the bill is S$22, then can less S$11).. not bad.. that is consider 50% discount lor..

"Working in the airlines industry is really great.. the people are so damn fun"

Stress Management

Life have been tough..
I’m stress up..

When I face unhappiness,
I need to prove that I’m strong and independent..
I need to take one day at a time..
I need to learn to reinterpret negative meanings into positive ones..
Stop, step back, and think – what do I really want for me and for the person with whom I’m upset?

I like to withdraw… give up… turn away…

Tian Zhu

Dear M's mummy got me this Tian Zhu bracelet..

A bit big cause I too skinny liao but I like it very much.. Thank you! ;-)

Sunday: Sun Burn

Went to the swimming pool near Chinese garden.. Entrance fee only S$2 for all day.. Got slides, wave pool, idle pool, olympia size pool, jacuzzi...

Didi called me on Saturday morning... he is booking out but I have BBQ tonite so cannot meet him.. Didi spained his leg.. still not ok. He damn kwai.. dun even want to "keng".. He heard I got BBQ on Fri & Sat.. immediately ask me to drink liang teh.. he worry I'm too heaty.. later lost my voice again. ha!ha!

Yes.. bbq again on Saturday at Changi Rise. This is twice yearly bbq that I have with my "usual" colleagues.. May, Amanda L, Shirley and Evelyn.. everyone will bring hubby and kids for gathering except May and me *lone ranger*.. ha!ha! It is always nice to see the hubby talking to each other and the kids playing together.. Some day when the kids grow up, they will have their own bbq and maybe can include us.. ha!ha!

This time, we have special guest.. Pat & Yasuko (his Japanese wife)... Pat brought Japan corn for bbq.. all the way from Japan.. *fresh, tasty, juicy and crunchy*

Assorted hot dogs (my fave cheese hot dog), fishballs, satay, pork loins, sambal olek prawns, chicken wings, fried rice, otaks, corns (both Japan and Malaysia), sweet potatos, dessert - watermelon, longan & grape fruit..

Nice foods but I didn't eat much.. cos I went to Parkway Parade for mini steamboat and had Andersen's macadamia nut ice cream at 3pm.. so bloated that day..

How Can We Improve Ourselves?

~*~*~*~

Each of us has little power to control our end product, whether a flight is on time, if the meal tasted good, and if the flight attendants were courteous. But each of us do have infinite power to control ourselves and to make ourselves better salespeople. If we want to continue to improve our results, we must continue to make ourselves better salespeople. If all of us do this collectively, our results will improve.

How can we improve ourselves?
Be Optimistic
Be Goal Orientated
Enjoy the Challenge
Have a Positive Attitude
Enjoy Competition
Focus on Continued Improvement
Seek New and Better Ways of Doing Things

Bon Voyage

My baby bro has grown up.. He is going to travel alone to Bangkok today. I'm always a worry sister.. to me, baby bro is forever baby.. in my heart, he'll never grow up..

I sent him off today.. mom decided to give it a miss since I'm going to take care of everything *beams*..

My baby bro is so excited.. We went to the check-in counter for TG economy class and my baby bro actually told me that we are on the wrong queue.. I gave him a smiley look ;-)… then he says I’m not on economy class, I’m on high class *LOL*..

After check-in, we went to Bangawan Solo to get some kueh and I banja him for lunch at Popeye.. lousy service and foods.

As usual, I nag and nag till boarding.. I nag the usual stuff.. keep your passport/money probably, call me if anything happen.. "must" call me if anything happen, dun call mom.. dun scare her.. reach SIN, call me.. maybe I will come and pick you. Remember to call mom when you're at the boarding gate, call her when you reach BKK, off your hp onboard.. and all the above was repeated over and over again...

Bye bye.. and I gave him a kiss on his shoulder.. (cos that fellow too tall liao) *LOL*..

My blue black... yes, again... haiz! What a Sunday.................

Saturday: Marina South

Went to Suntec with Dear M to meet Darling Vanes & Didi Jerry... cos Didi Jerry wants to check out Casio watch. I think the G-shock/Baby G latest limited edition white dolphin and whales is the best.. Didi so tan nowaday therefore he looks great with the white color watch.. the contrast is huge..

Everywhere is crowded cos Saturday nite mah.. We tried to make reservation at the rice table but it is fully booked.. The waiter offer to help but he can only give us table for 6pm till 7.20pm... cos someone reserved it for 7.30pm.. Don't want to have a rush dinner. So we proceed for BBQ/steamboat dinner at Marina South.. can see fire works from there.. Today is the Italy team firing the fire works. Next Tues, will be the Singapore team.. Marina South is damn crowded.. we settled for Chong Pang steamboat instead of the other one that is more popular..

An expensive dinner..cos we kana "sam man" for illegal parking.. sigh! :-(

Working Late on TGIF

I’m still in office… everyone has left for the day. This new office is so comfortable… I’ve so much work to clear.. I'm a bit “siao”.. Every time my manager not in office, I work late .. Work so late also she don’t know.. I’m so stupid.. Should stay back only when she is around to see… hee!hee!

Maybe I’m bored.. No plan today.. Meow Meow, Rebecca and frens are going to Holland V tonite.. Darling Vanes going to have chicken rice dinner with her family and aunty from Hong Kong. All ask me to join.. but I’m going home to rest.. good gal ah!!

My 1st time locking up this new office.. There is a 40kg safe in my office so must really lock properly… ha!ha!
