Backdated: The CNY open house

Have been putting together the RSVP, the menu and list of to-dos. Sounds like a big event? nah, it was just a simple get-together for my colleagues, well at least before i leave, will like to invite them over for a makan.
Ordered some food, cooked some, ate some. Bout 20 of them came over, current and ex colleagues, too bad Ms Zha Bo couldn't make it though, it's been a while since i last saw her.. the ever huggable girl. :)

It was the typical CNY kinda thing, they ate, drank, and gambled. oops. behind closed doors of course. As I entertained them happily, my heart was also busy thinking about someone else, and really wished he came... but i knew the news that i broke out to him, was too much to take, and i shouldn't expect his presence. I could only wonder if there'll be another chance in the future.

Most of them left only bout 7pm, after dinner, Jo & Steve stayed on to play mahjong with mom. addicted liao.. haha. but no money was involved in the progress of course... if not sure kalah teruk d.

So that was it, the get together that i wanted...

It's about time

It's about time for me to update my blog. hehe

Have this really bad habit of writing my post halfway, and leaving it there in the dark corner.

It's been 2 weeks since we got the bad news bout Aunt Jenny, now that mom is back, it's ok to write. The anticipation for mom's return was such a dread, cannot find the words to break such a bad news to her. But it's been done and mom is ok now.

Mom's trip to Vienna has indeed been a very fun one, from the stories she told, and the pictures she took, not to forget the many things that she bought, and of cos.. the explicit amount of money she spent! haha. We were saying that mom complains about how expensive it is to have a slice of Secret Recipe - RM6.10 ? well at least that was how much it cost when I last bought it.
But there in Austria, mom paid 10 Euro for a slice of cake and a cup of Espresso. Over there, it's considered cheap i guess, but if you do convert... it's a shocking 50 ringgit ! what an experience for mom. Wish I had the funds to go too :(

Work has been a bit slow, the fact that boss is not around. Well, at least things are less tensed. Not sure if that is entirely a good thing though. Me , n the other hand, am preparing for my trip. It's a few more weeks away, and lotsa preparation still !

A sombre mood

There was a blackout at work yesterday, and it meant both ways...

Power was off for bout 1 hour, and it that dark and gloomy hour, 2 of our colleagues got cut. The team leaders were nervously waiting, and hoping that our extensions will never ring, as we know the calls would be from the management. Each time my phone rang, I jumped to my skin..
The fact that boss made us pick the weakest in our teams last week, we know that the person might be sacrificed.
Boss came back into the department at 12 noon, and it was a sigh of relief, that no one else had to go.

I hoped.

We were all sadden by these 2 colleagues leaving, one of them, a very very dear friend to me. I hope she will be fine. God bless her..

There's been a lot of changes lately, and my emotions has been goin up and down the scale..

Another incident today, tops it all up.. but i'm not ready to talk about it yet.. There are some who need not know yet..

I need a hug.. terribly..

:(
