It’s rather funny communicating with some of my german counterpart; when you write them an email and they reply with things you completely cannot understand, and when you call them up to clarify, they ask you to write them an email.
What the.
I spend one whole week to clarify the whole matter. One moment she said she didn’t receive the parts and request for me to send again, another moment she say it’s not necessary to send ‘cause she will use the remaining parts she has, next moment she say the parts MUST be sent over, in the end when I send her the parts, she said it’s not necessary.
Miscommunication.
All my colleagues who are in the cc loop were like wondering what this lady wants!
Her English is okay, her words are all easy to read, but the problem lies in her sentencing. Her sentence just makes no sense, totally, you can’t figure out what she’s trying to say!
My boss was angry (to me) as well, ask me to call her up and double confirm with that lady and make sure that the ship date still remains, but everything just sounds so stupid.
“Hi Nicole, do you need me to send you the parts?”
“Yes, of course!”
“Okay, what is the minimum required quantity?”
…..
“Can you wait a moment?”
…………………………………………. 5 mins pass by………………….
“Hi Val, do you still need me?”
“… Yes, I was asking you what’s the minimum quantity you need for the parts.”
“Can you please write me an email?”
…
In the end, I wrote her an email again and there was like totally no reply! Ouh, okay soon then I sent her the parts again and she finally replied like, “Thank you for shipping the parts but ….. We don’t need any further parts.”
SAI SAI SAI.
Luckily she is just standing in for one of the lady who went away for vacation.
If not, maybe I will quit my job.

Sickkk
Ouh, i was sick on thursday. It's been nearly a year before i last took my mc i guess?
Throat infection. Fever 38.6. Body ache.
So finally i took a day mc and spend the whole day at home, erm, doing nothing. I have got unexpected call and super sweet smses from my colleagues, but all these appear so fake to me.
Pure concern is enough, too much of it makes it very pretentious.
Imagine one of your colleague who is from other region and not really close to you, give you a ring and say, "oh heard that you're not in the office, how are you? Getting better? Oh just call to see if you're fine."
I'm not dying, i'm just sick. And the point is i'm not even close to the person! I was like rolling my eyes when i'm on the phone.
Then next coming up is ABB, with super super sweet sms asking me to switch off my phone, say i need rest and drink more water, make sure i keep him posted of my condition.
eh... helo?
Are you sure you want to know?
I know the sms definitely sounds very sweet, that's why all the girls in the office are falling head over heels for him. I know him best, and i know such sms are just his way of making one to have good impression of him.
Then during evening time he really did sms me again, asking me to update him about my condition.
I replied his sms, then of course, there was no reply. Seriously it doesn't come from the bottom of his heart that he is really concern about his sub, it's more like following a template. And you know what, all his subs are following his style; that's why the call from my regional salesman.
Even my closest colleague and boss didn't go to the extent of it, i mean of course, i'm just having a fever, not as if i'm hospitalised or what. If i am, probably i will be happy to entertain their call or sms.
Okay, maybe i'm just sick, that's why i'm feeling lousy.
Ouh, now cough and flu coming...

The dinner was great and the company was definitely good! I believe all the jie meis had so much fun on that special day! and now I'm dying to see the video.....! Haaaa =D
Really glad to be one of the jie meis; thanks sylvia for picking me! Hehe, want to say a big thank you for letting us share your a little of your happiness. =)

I’m having… high cholesterol!
Now I know what kind of unhealthy lifestyle I've been living. Ouh, sad to know that I have to cut down a lot of food that contains high cholesterol.
I think this also mean no more kway chap for me… have to stop eating for a little while yeah. No more seafood… no more oily food… no more egg yolks…
I need to eat MORE VEGGIES now!
Even my fav egg… I can only take 3 eggs per week. 3?!!??!?!! That's going to be super miserable for me man. BUT I must endure~~!!! (Imagine Ya Kun’s golden eggs…… *drools)
Very poor thing hor me!
Although I have a change in diet, that does not mean I’m slimming down because I don’t feel any fats shedding off! That’s quite upsetting huh.
OK, it has only been 3 days. HEHE.
If you are thinking to jio me for some good food, please please please! Better don’t. I don’t think I can take the temptation… HAAAA.
Okay lah, I hope I can maintain a healthier lifestyle… anyone joining me? :)

Lost then, Found now.
I think i'm rather lucky in the sense that, nearly one month ago i lost 2 very important things and i considered myself as SUPER DUPER UNLUCKY during tt period. I dunno what the hell is wrong with me 'cause things just keep missing and everything around me seems to be in chaos.
Firstly, i lost my company's chq at our event! I was holding on to the chq when some of my colleagues need my help to open the storeroom, then i think i left it on the table and puff! i forgot all about it.
After that, i lost my brand new wallet (barely used for a month) on the bus. Think when i was taking out my ezlink, my wallet dropped on the floor since i was carrying so many things in the bag: my super thick and heavy organiser, my adapter, my mp3, my phone blah blah blah.
I really feel i was kinda idiot to lose such a big wallet. I mean hey, it's not those small kind 'coz it's quite big and i totally have no idea i dropped it until when i was walking back home. La sap.
Things started getting better when my angmoh colleague (very shuai please) called me up and told me he found my chq after the event and he promised to bring it over to my office like on the very next day! I was sooooo touched i tell ya!! HAAAAA and the best thing is except for my shuai colleague and my boss, no one knows i lost it so no one reprimand me! HAAAAA.
Then it was yesterday, when my dad suddenly called me on the phone, with SUPER serious tone that, "two polices came..." and before he could even start with the second sentence, i got freak out 'cause i thought it was link to downloading mp3!! i seriously thought i was finished and i'm gonna declared bankrupt and pay for the fines the rest of my life. Haaaa then my dad continued the sentence saying they found my wallet. ARHHHHH!! i was jumping here and there when i heard it.
IT'S THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD SO FAR.
Finally!! But the not-so-good part is that the whole wallet ended up in a litter bin at blk 320 i think. SADDED. I'm going to have it cleaned tml so i can start using it next week! Wahahaha, sorry for the new replace wallet i've just bought. I'm going to keep you and i promise you will still be of service to me. :)
So I've found the 2 very important things and also had my lesson learnt. Haaaa now i promise i wont be so muddlehead again. YAY!
********************************************************
Ouh, today is xue's bday!!! Erm, wanna wish you a happy yr ahead and stay young forever!! Save up for Taiwan okie!! Haaaaaa dun splurge on uneccessary things lah! Keke

This weekend we had my cousin and her 4 "adorabies" (adorable babies) all the way from M'sia to pay us a visit!
Proudly presents Natasha on the left, Nateline at the back, Samatha on the right.
Kinda the same picture but take a good look at Nateline... she is so fast!!
Little Nateline.. only 4 months older than our Hazel babe. Super A.C.T.I.V.E.
TADAH! Girl girl is sitting at the other corner with my dad, clapping her hands. :) I must say, GOOD PERFORMANCE TODAY!
WOOOM~

Natasha sticking her tongue out during photoshooting. Girl girl kept snatching her toys away from her... *naughty.
ENGROSSED, when my dad is talking to them. =D
