I strongly believe some people came to this world with only one purpose in their life.
That is to annoy and irritate the hell out of anyone that comes in contact with them. Attributes like 'nice', 'accomodating', ' smiley', 'patience' had never existed in their life and these are perputually replaced with their antonym-ies.
I think these people find joy and feel achieved when they have succeeded in bullying or creating some kind of unhappiness to the other party.
Such people or better labelled as 'pesks' are such a waste of resources..take up space and consume our depleting resources and contribute to making life harder for everyone..
Unfortunately there are such people everywhere..One of them succeeded in spoiling my mood..just momentarily, thankfully. I didnt allow it to affect me long, that will be too great an achievement for such pesks man...NO WAY...
Good on you jo! I deserve a pat on my back! :p

Interesting..
Here is something interesting i chanced upon..interesting to me at least..
Based on an ancient agricultural calendar, the system is based on the influences of the different forces. Although the exact origins remain a mystery, legends abound on how it came to be.
One has it that on one of his birthdays, Yuhuang Dadi (the Jade Emperor of Heaven) invited all the animals on earth and heaven to join in the celebrations. But only 12 turned up and the party animals were Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
For their effort, the Emperor honoured each animal with a year of its own. It was also decreed that henceforth, those born in the year of the animal would assume the nature and characteristics of that animal influenced by the different elements.
And if you are wondering why Rat became the first animal in the zodiac? Well, Ox was in fact first but Rat, clever animal that it was, laid a bet with Ox. Sitting on Ox's head, Rat said "Let us take a walk around these heavenly grounds and see who will emerge as the 'big' animal."
Good-naturedly, Ox agreed.
"Oh, what a big, awful-looking rat," screamed one of the fairies and shook her head in disgust.
"See, I told you. Even fairies think I am 'big'!" declared Rat to Ox.
No arguments there and the tolerant Ox conceded.
Now why is there no cat in the line-up? Well, in those heavenly days, Cat and Rat were good friends. They both received the invitation to the birthday party but Cat was lazy and decided to ask Rat to reserve a place for him, while he stole a couple more hours of sleep.
"No problem," said Rat and off he went.
At Heaven, Rat got into a game with Ox and duly forgot his promise to Cat. When he returned, triumphant, Cat woke up to the rude reality that he was forgotten. Cat, of course, never forgave Rat. By the way, that's also why cats always catch rats.
I am down with the stupid cough and bad throat..quite serious leh i think..my phlegm had some blood in it this morning..arrgghh so heaty..

Is he the one, or not?
I once asked my married colleague, how do you that your husband is the one for you? Her reply - 'Frankly speaking, it is not easy to know he is the one or not lah..its just a gamble'
Another colleague who has an almost decade old relationship says " I don't believe in this now, esp in our times now.."
I so agree with the both of them..
Two can be happy together now, and later before you know it, you are weeping over a broken relationship..
How to trust again when trust has been broken? How to keep the bad memories at bay when things around you are not helping the situation?
How do we know the partners we have now are the ones suitable for us?
What if as time goes by, differences start to emerge and the right way is to let go..but our heart just can't bear the pain..How will the relationship turn out to be?
What if one has already tried to give but still feel unhappy? Is there such a thing as getting used to?
Sighz..i guess everyone has their own way of answering those questions...I wished I could answer them myself..

A Receptionist's Life
Think ever since I have graduated, the most working experience I have had is as a receptionist. Yesh, I am pathetic lah huh, I have friends or rather acquaintances telling me ' u graduated for some time already, still dont know what you want to do?' OR, 'huh, jobs nowadays that hard to find ah?' Ya Ya..bring it on lah..Jo is so used to hearing such comments mah..
Its not that I dont know what i want..I do have a rough idea and a goal but I am still unable to reach it and also still unsure if it is the right choice for me. And yesh, I am also one of the rare species who DO NOT THINK that going into a career unrelated to my field of study is a waste..But it is certainly much harder to get into the job without any relevant experience..Sighz..Think sooner or later i will end up working as a dietitian liaoz lah..
As if anyone can be more worried and stressed about my OWN career path other than myself..
Anyway, this entry is about my 'eventful' stint as a receptionist..If some of you think that being a receptionist is easy peasy..think again!! I used to be like one of those who thinks that recept duties are just picking up phone calls and greeting vistors. HAH..i was very wrong!!
I have learnt how to run through telephone lists asap to locate a person's name and transfer the line..also, it is a standard here that the phone should not be allowed to ring for more than thrice!
Of cos, we also have to usher visitors/clients into the correct meeting rooms, serve drinks, and then tidy up the rooms after they leave..Must book meeting rooms, arrange for courier service, sometimes book a cab..frank mails..haiya..etc..
It bores me to type it all out..dont want to put my readers to sleep too lah huh..
Anyway point being, recept job aint that easy lah huh..and also there are some fucked up pple around who are racist and too snobbish, bossy and unaccomodating for their own good..Oh well..we are talking about the heartless corporate world lah huh.
But I take this as a learning ground..and for those who thinks that being a receptionist is easy, think again ya..and do slow down and look around for the unsung heroes e.g courier men, delivery men, tea ladies etc we have in our company...they contribute alot to the interlinking processes of our daily business activities too...
