Hubby ask me why must people have kids? Do I want to havekids? For him, he feel if no kids, we can save a lot of money, every year wecan go travel, but he wanted to know how his child will looks like. For me, Ican have or without kids. Its not a must for me. Most people give the reason was its natural for married couple to have kids, parents wanted them to have kids. Some is because they like kids.
Its not easy to feed a child in Singapore. Money is a bigissue, how much must a family earn before you can really take care of a child?I believe we will use up all our savings, and what we earn every mth will alsobe use up, means we have no extra money to save. From childcare fees to food,wear….especially baby milk powder is so expensive. 1 mth can use up to or morethan S$1K. Still need to give both side parents money, home bills…
At the end of the day what do we have? So far no one cangive me a good answer why they want to have kids. Some choose not to have kidsas they feel they are happier without kids. They can save more money and buywhatever they want, do whatever they want, they have all the freedom. Those that have kids will complain how they feel, regret having kids.
So why have kids? Because everyone having kids so I alsomust have? Parents want to see their grandchild so have kids? Because it is astandard, married and have kids, it’s a procedure? Do I like kids? Not really very like, cute childens sure everyone like. Sometimes I find them very cute, sometimes I findthem very irrating. So I cant say I very like or don’t like at all. No answerhaha… So everytime I will only say its ok with me. Want or don’t want also can.Of cause I don’t mind to have a kid of mine. Most important is my hubby decision too, he want I am happy to have to. If he don’t want I am also ok.
Sometimes I also will wonder how my child will look like. Especiallywhen you see all your friends starting to have their own kids. What is thatkind of feelings of having your own kids. I may have a different thinking whenI have my own kids, most people say that. The feeling is very special. Anyway,leave it to nature, if have than have lol, if no also nevermind. If its mine itwill be mine.
Our Wedding
My Darling Hubby
I have written on so many things but I haven’t reallywritten about my hubby. I don’t get to know him through friends, nor at workplace, both of us are totally unrelated. Many people ask how we get to know each other. Not like most people, they go to the same school, or are excolleagues, or get to know each other while outing. When we tell them we kneweach other online, most people were surprised. I won’t elaborate how and which website we get to know each other.Friends start asking me, you not scare meh. Online friends you dare to meet? I told them ask long you are careful, no need to worry somuch. I can’t say I totally not scare, so I would try to chat more often than arrange for a meet up. Our 1st meet up was in AMK Hub, and he waslate haha. Our 1st meet up was ok, impression of him not bad. Forhim should be the same ba haha. I don’t remember how long later, both of usdecide to try it out. Of cause in the beginning our relationship wasn’t that strong, as time goes by, we get to know each other more.
We started our planning, to apply for flat, at 1stwe wanted to buy resale flat, but feel its not worth it, so in the end we apply for BTO. Till now still waiting for it. Than arrange for our wedding dates,most of it are settled so right now waiting for our flat to come only. Afterall these years, there are happy and sad moments, my hubby is not that type ofguy that will always sweet talk to you, nor will the word I Love You come outfrom his mouth. But I know he loves me, his actions show. I kind of love him more and more, I can’t imagine life without him.
Of cause I sometimes hope he will say some touching words to me, he will say very “rou ma”, he cant say itout haha. Its ok for me, I rather have a faitful hubby than those always sweettalk to wife but outside having an affair. I don’t need a romantic proposal, I only need a blissful marriage life. As long I know deep in hubby’s heart, I am the most important of all, that’s enough. Many things he do have already shown how much he care, action speaks louder than words. Sometimes my darling can be rather emotional, me too. But just give and take, every relationship are the same.
I am looking forward to our new flat, currently now he willcome over on Friday to Monday, Tuesday to Thursday he will be in TPY. Usually Iwon’t look out of the window, when I bath finish, he will wash up and driveback to tpy to change to his company van. Before he leave I will give him a bighug, going to miss him haha. I happen to look out of the window, saw himwalking alone towards his car, I suddenly feel very sad. I kind of miss him somuch, seeing his back view I don’t wish him to go… haha. That was silly of me. Its just my feelings suddenly realise how much I miss him.
6 months plus into our marriage life, so far still ok, and ever since I switched to a normal office hour job, we have more time for ourselves. Somehow I still feel not enough time together. Maybe because we haven’t really got a place of our own. I kind of looking forward to my new home, waiting and waiting for HDB to pass meour keys! They are really damm slow, think the snail crawl faster than them.Anyway, what I can say is I love my hubby more and more each day and I believe it’sthe same for him too.
I will do my best to make our marriage a blissful one. I never forget what our solemniser said on our marry day, this will be the hand you going to hold forever, no matter what happen, never let go of this hand, till you grow old, hair all white, no more teeth, this will still be the hand you holding…forever.
Company Event
Every year there will be afew times where company will arrange an event, hoping everyone will attend. There will be a talk by the boss, feel free to ask any question, all your questions will be answered. Send your questions via email to the HR Manager, she will consolidate all the mails and send to boss as anonymous. Well well, who really dare to ask? I dont believe boss wont know who ask what questions.
Seems like this time round not many people ask questions, I was told that always a lot of people ask questions, but this time is to email to HR Manager, so no one really want to ask. Why? It seems like not many people like her and feel she cant keep secret, she might just tell her boyfriend and soon whole dept will know. (BTW, she is married, her boyfriend also married) Saying boss wont know, do you believe it?
My colleague ask me how? Her director ask her to ask questions too, she told me she got nothing to ask and don’t dare to ask. I agree with her. To us, very simple, everything is about money. What we want is money only, other things we are really not interested. Will people ask if boss will give bonus? How many mths bonus? Increment alot anot? I think this type of questions will be put aside. In the end she didnt send email at all, she will just say she didnt have time to send if they happen to ask her.
Lucky i dont have to send any email, i hate this kind of event, really a waste of time, sit there hear you talk, i would rather go home and talk to my poohs... hug my pillow and sleep. They are going to give speech for at least 1 hour plus, than its buffet time, by the time everything clear will be almost 9pm. Reach home 930pm to 10pm. Isnt it a waste of time?
Too bad have to stay.
Lets meet up!
Recently meet up with 3 ex-colleagues, 2 of them have changed a job, 1 is with me in the same company, the other 1 just started a new job not more than 1 month. Asking her how she feel, she said she has no regrets at all and was glad she made this decision to change. Paywise much higher and normal office hour job, which means she she have to work on weekend, also admin job. She feel she have alot of new things to learn, like before to others, what we do in the old company, the experience we have can only go into customer service line.
If you want to find admin job, not that easy as we don’t have enough of admin experience. When our only ex-colleague who is still staying said she want to gain more admin experience, the other 2 laugh at her and tell her impossible. The little bit of admin things we do are nothing to the outside world. To the outside world we are considered no experience at all, its only you go into that line than you will realise there is so much to learn, and learning are never-ending.
Of cause till now i am still learning, gaining experience, i am not sure how long i will stay in this company, but confirm have to stay at least 2 years to gain the admin experience. I suddenly remember what all my ex-colleauges told me when they left, they all say the same thing, there is so much to learn, so much that you will never learn in my old company. I now agree with them. I didn’t say much about changing job to our this ex-colleauge, afterall she has to make her own decision, our ex-company afterall still ok, i can only say everywhere is the same, only is to see what you really want.
She wanted to change as she wanted a normal office hour job too, sat and sun she can have time to spend with her 2 kids. Thats what she say, but she didnt really take action in looking for a job, but i feel our ex-company is also ok for her, as she often need to take leave as her mum wants to go back and no one could help her take care of the kids, she can actually arrange herself to off or take leave, as long there is someone to cover for her. But because of shift hours, she will not have much time to guide her kids in their studies. So there are good and bad points, if she change to a normal office hours job, all sat and sun off, work till 530pm and go home, she will have more time for her 2 kids, but if she have to take leave, will the company be able to allow her to take so often? There are times when she need to take alot of leave within the same mth, others might want to take leave too, sometimes in a department cannot have 2 person go on leave on the same time. So she really have to think carefully. Up to her to decide, no one can make a decision for her.
I could see she feel very stress, she have to learn to overcome that. If she cant take this stress, how is she going to face the stress in the outside world? For me, i like the freedom there, only the hours i dont like and i dont like to face those customers, bosses seldom come, only my manager comes. And for bonus wise, they are quite good. As for politics, everywhere is the same. Only see how you handle it. There are also good and bad, so it doesnt really matter that much, what i want is the experience, if i happen to want to change a job, at least now i have experience in being a admin.
Duing our recent meet up, we heard there are some changes, don’t know its good or bad, but the one to suffers are also the front desk, as we are the one facing customers. Somehow I feel abit glad I was no longer there to handle those customers. Other changes i feel is abit funny, but if i am still there, i wont really care. I will still do what i want haha. I really should go update my resume, add in this new company haha. In case I need it in future, I might forget the date I start work. So its best to update it 1st. Where did I save it in? Must go and dig liao.
Anyway I like to add that recently I heard one colleague kena disturbed by ghost, I just wonder why don’t the ghost disturb that HRM hahaha…..I would like to see her scared looks… :p
No choice of food
Being the only carteen here inside loyang offshore supply base, the chinese store that sells mixed veges and meat was terrible. No one complain? Or I am the only unlucky one. First time incident was the rice they gave, was smelly. It seems they the rice overnight but didnt put it in the fridge. It smells and uneable, the sour type of smell. In the end i only eat the veges and meat.
After some time I decide to try again, everything was ok until last few days, I bought porridge, cabbage, egg, meat. When I taste the porridge, alamak…the same smell, spoil! Ok so I only left with the veges and meat. I almost finsih all my veges than i saw something inside…a housefly! Really jialat, whats wrong, my colleauge saw it too, she look at her rice, than she decide she stop eating and throw it away. Hers seem ok, so can I say I am the only one?
Its seem like being the only stall in here selling mixed veges rice, they can do this kind of things, selling customers this kind of food? Its lucky i didnt have tummy upset. I think for a very long period i will not buy from them, or never buy from them again. Maybe i should report them, should i? Anyway its over, no point saying anything. I will only eat malay food, slice fish bee hoon or chicken rice.
Maybe i will start bringing veges over to make salad for lunch.
Better to be busy or have nothing to do
Is it good to be busy or better to be free and nothing much to do? Of cause its better to relax than having many things to do, can serve internet and play games. It would be good unless there is no one to supervise you, no boss around to see what you are doing, dont have so many eyes trying to spy you.
You may though no one is looking, but there is always people looking and you may not notice. Especially in open office where there isnt much privacy, too free and if you pretend you are busy, people will start to say things. So its best to be really busy in this kind of environment, problem is i am rather free, so many times i have to act busy. But how long can i act? Its really tiring to act busy. So whenever i got things to do, i will do it slowly.
Maybe the things I am doing takes only 1 hr to finish it at normal speed, I try using my slowest speed (provided the thing is not urgent) to do it, try to drag for afew hrs more. In my situation, its best to have something to do, in afew days time we are going to change our seating position, which i dont really like, as this new place has 0% privacy.
So its best to be busy, with work to do and I can take my time to finish it in time rather than being too free and try ot act busy. You will feel timing pass very slow, slow till you want to die. Unless I am in an environment where I have a lot of privacy, too bad, i dont have.
Something eerie happened
I was staying back last night to OT, it was almost 930pm when Colleague A came and ask me if I am going off. There was still another 2 colleague at the other end. I was still deciding weather to continue stay or go home. In the end I decide to go off with colleague A. Packed everything and went downstair with colleague A, we did not awitch off the lights as there are still people a level 2. If we are the last person to go off, we would need to switch off all the lights.
While we were at level 1, the office lights at level 1 are still on, colleague A went in to see who is still there, I follow too. Colleague B was still working.
Colleague A: Oiii….you still don’t want to go home ar?
Colleague B: Going off soon, another 10 mins, you all go first.
Colleague A: Ok.
Colleague A: Ok.
Colleague A helped me to call cab while I call my senior to inform her I going off liao, as its 930pm and no more reports coming in. We walked to the main gate to wait for our cab and Colleague B called Colleague A saying she going off now and wait for her. While waiting for colleague B to come out, colleague said to me: "She siao one, left her alone downstair she still don’t want to go home." When I heard her say these words I was abit shocked.
I remember seeing another guy inside too, he was sitting at the desk at the end face facing down doing his tihngs, looks very busy, cant see the face, only his head and hair. He looks abit like Colleague C. Than colleague B join us, I notice she switch off all the lights on level 1, I looked at her.
Me: Why you off all the lights? Still got a guy inside.
Colleague B: What? No people inside, only left me alone.
Me: No, when we go in look for you, I saw a guy there, looks like colleague C.
Colleague A: No, when we go in only left her, no guy inside only her alone. Colleague C went off at 5:30pm.
Colleague B: Only me alone! I got check no people liao than I off all the lights!
Me: But I saw a guy sitting down there, if not colleague C than who is he?
Colleague A and B: Maggie your cab come liao..go..go…quickly go home.
Me: errr….ok…
Colleague B: What? No people inside, only left me alone.
Me: No, when we go in look for you, I saw a guy there, looks like colleague C.
Colleague A: No, when we go in only left her, no guy inside only her alone. Colleague C went off at 5:30pm.
Colleague B: Only me alone! I got check no people liao than I off all the lights!
Me: But I saw a guy sitting down there, if not colleague C than who is he?
Colleague A and B: Maggie your cab come liao..go..go…quickly go home.
Me: errr….ok…
I keep thinking I really saw a guy there, why both of them no saw him? Something wrong with my eye? Maybe my eye got problem.....maybe....
When i am old
Hubby always ask me how will we look likes when we are at the age of 60. I told him I have no idea. Hair all white, shagging skin, teethless and become shorter? Or we wont live to the age of 60? Hubby asked me why must we grow old? Can we grow old but remain our young looks? I told him he can go for plastic surgery from top to bottom haha. I believe everyone are afraid to grow old, but we don’t have a choice, this is life.
I also did wonder how I will look like when I am old, will i look very ugly? Will i become shorter? I am already very short. But most important is to be healthy. No point to live so long if your health is so weak and unable to do anything, cant work, cant walk, sick everyday, in and out of hospital. It would be so torturing, no only that, you will need to spend alot of money before you die. Will you have so much to spend?

It would be so torturing, no only that, you will need to spend alot of money before you die. Will you have so much to spend?
If I were to die, I hope I could die in my sleep, without those suffering. We cant affort to be so sick here, we will never have enough money for medical. My mum told me her sister's husband relative had stroke, admitted to hospital and her hospital fees almost reached $20,000! As it was very serious, need to be hospitalize for a long period, that means more $$ will be needed. So stay healthy, don’t be sick. How you looks like when you are old is not that important afterall. No matter how good you look, without health, its mean nothing at all. Is weather you have the health to enjoy anot when you are old.
Actually I didn’t think of how I will look like when I am old. I think of when i die, where will i go to? Will i know what is happening around me after i die? Is there really heaven and hell? Every religon have their own beliefs. I have heard a lot, but are they true? Till now I don’t really know, after I die, where will my soul goes to? Will i be able to feel any pain? Will my soul be standing there looking at my own body? Haha..... Those that says will go to hell or heaven, have they seen it before? If not how do they know? Well, till now i am still wondering.
If there is next life, i want to be born in Taiwan or Australia... :)
Office Politics
Its better to be in a big company or small company? What are the good and bad benefits? I feel its not easy to work in a big company, the bigger the company is, the more people you have to encounter. Every company, you have to face the politics inside. When a company have too many staffs, there will be a lot of problem. Its never easy to work with so many people, althought most are in different department. Some people can be very busybody, they cannot seems to mind their own business. Dont understand why they cant do their own work, why must create trouble and make other poeple life difficult.
Even in different department, they don’t mind their own department business, they would like to mind everyone's business, walk here and there looking around, trying to spot if anyone make mistake so that they can go stab you. There is always this kind of people, which best to keep your distance from them. Some can be so nice to you that you will feel scared, you wont know when they will stab you... you can see arrows shooting in the air hahaha.
No matter how hard they try to befriend you, never trust them, or I can say there is no one to trust at all. Everyone wear a mask, everyone looks so fact. I also wear a mask to work haha. Alway pretend to be friendly but actually i dont like that person. Some people like to be the bella of the company, not a problem, anyway none of my business. I am here to work only, every month got $$ take can liao.
Not that I am thinking in a "xiao ren" way, this is the fact, everyone is selfish, for their own good they will by all means try to climb up the ladder. You die your problem, as long as they survice. I am also trying to survice too, everyone is my colleuage, but they are really just colleauges to me, they will not be my good friend, as long as in the same company, no one can be trusted. There will be also alot of stories to hear in a big company. Its seems to be a secret, but its a open secret.
Like who and who together, who likes who… even thought married, they still want to play around. There will be a lot of gossips, you can see with your own eyes as most of the gossips are quite true, maybe added some salt and pepper. These people are damm free, its really a waste of time, I only interested to know if the bonus are good? Pay increment? The rest, leave me out. Although i not sure if i have kena shooted anot, you never know, you may know kena shooted but dont know who shoot you.
Good about working in big company, you can learn a lot of new things, you can also ask for internal transfer if you want to. I am wondering after a year or so, if i have a chance, which department to go to is the best? Or to remain in Admin dept. Big companies maybe more stable, maybe wont need to worry too much on increment and bonuses? I am not very sure, but i hope its true.
So what about small companies? Some small companies i believe are very stable too. There will be less peoples, but also will have politics, but wont be as much as big companies. Is weather you can survice anot, sometimes small compines can have more politics than big company. I feel in small company, increment wont be that much or really depends on how well the company do. If your boss willing to give more.
My previous company pay increment quite ok, bonus too, only the timing wise, need to work shift sat and sun too. In this new job, pay wise and timing not bad, sat sun off, not sure if able to get good bonus anot. For now, i have to work hard, be careful, dont trust anyone, i can survice longer haha.
Increment how much?
While we were
having lunch today, a staff from Account side was telling us about her increment
this year in Jan 2012, she got S$300 increment. Both me and my colleauge was: WOW!
So much.

My Dream Country
From young, i have always wanted to go to Australia. This was one of my fav country. Don't ask me why, cause i also don't know. So many countries out there, i just want to go Australia. Dont know if i have a chance to go anot.
Last few years i thought i have a chance to go, as my childhood friend said she wanted to go. But end up not going as she unable to apply leave. I was damm disappointed, i cant find any friend that want to go as most of them have been to australia before and have no intention to go again. So i could only give up my hope.
If compare Korea to Australia, i would rather go to Australia. I wanted to visit Gold Coast, Perth. Can go visit the nottis too.
Hubby want to go taiwan again. I am ok lal cause i love taiwan too. After that our flat will come, don't think we will have much money left to go Australia. Will i still have a chance to go? I just hope before i am too old i still have a chance to go Australia for a visit.
When do you want a baby?
People are asking when you want to have a baby? You are not young anymore, don’t have baby too late. Actually we knows, I also worry I will be too old to have a baby. Hubby have his own plan, wait for our flat to come, move in for a few months than try for a baby. At 1st i dont quite agree with him, as we all know, things dont alway goes as you plan. You want that period to have a baby doesnt means you will get it. I have heard many people talking about it.
Most are the same, have planning, but when try, its often different from what they plan, when they are trying to have a baby, its wasn’t successful, later on they give up on the idea and they got pregnant. At 1st they feel rather lost as they decide to stop trying for the time-being. Now they accept the fact they are going to be parents. I even know 1 girl, she was pregnant, she didnt want to have it as she feel she wasnt ready, her hubby feel since pregnant than just give birth. But the girl mind set was "NO", she really wasnt ready to be a mum, i think she end up eating too much medicine and the baby was gone. I wasnt very close to her so i didnt ask her about what actually had happened. But i feel its really sad, there are some who are trying hard but just couldnt get a baby. Maybe she really not ready to be a mummy and she is still quite young,not mature at all.
Hubby's ponit of view is that if I get pregnant now, it will be difficult for us as old people will say cannot do this cannot do that. We might get our flat this year, if I am pregnant I will not be able to move house etc… I believe we have many things to do on reno, buying of furniture and how we want to display our things. So its best to wait for all these to settle 1st. Move in than try to have a baby.
Money also plays a part. Its not easy and we need to spend quite alot on house. We need some time to rest awhile, having kids isnt going to be easy. I agree with him, although many voices saying no good for me, because of my age. But its not that simple, now its totally out of the question. With me just switch to a new job and still under probation, its totally impossible.
Even after confirmation, I cant right away get pregnant. At least afew months more. By that time i may have move in to my new house, than it will be the right time. Its also not very convinent for me now, i dont want to carry a big tummy to squeeze and push into the bus 965! Now i can squeeze and push my way in, run after bus, wait for bus till my blood vessel want to explode. Can i still squeeze and push my way into the bus with a big tummy?
As long as I move into my new flat in punggol, it will be easy for me. The company I work in provide transport from Sengkang, so I only need to travel by mrt from punggol to sengkang. In the morning, hubby can send to to Sengkang, at night I will go back by myself. I can even walk back to punggol. So in the end no matter what others say, we will continue to stick to our plan. Will i get pregnant anot by than, i will not think so much, let nature takes its course. If its mine, it will be mine.
I want to be a lollipop girl
Yesterday noon, a ang mo manager bring some of us out for lunch. Of cause we go, not wanting to eat the same food from the carteen. So once there is a chance to go out, we will go. While we were out we need to speak in english as we have a ang mo with us. But while talking the channel will automatic change from channel 5 to channel 8. :) The manager will just give you the "What are you talking about face." But over all he is quite a nice guy.
While he was driving, we happen to see a worker holding a "GO" sign, his job was to stand there and hold the "GO" sign. The manager told us in Australia this is call the lollipop man, 1 year he can earn up to S$35,000 (converted from Australia dollar). Because his english too good i cant confirm if i heard wrongly, i remember hearing him say convert to Sing dallor is S$125,000. Did i hear wrongly? Or he said S$35,000? I remember he said per annual earn that much. The amount was huge that we all "WOW!!!" Every ones mouth form a "O" shape.

He said if you work in Australia, no one will scold you, unlike in Singapore you will alway get scolded over little things. Min than asked him why he want to come here work, he did reply, but we didnt manage to understand what he is talking about. Actually i have a difficult time trying to understand them, they are speaking too fast and their english too powerful. He talk alot but most of the time, i dont know what he is talking about. whenever the directors talk to me, i wanted to run away, i couldnt catch what they are trying to say. When i told them sorry can you please slow down, i dont really understand, they will say "Oh i am sorry, i am tying to tell you...bleh bleh bleh..." I think i really need to go for english lesson.
Back to the lollipop topic, I told him I would like to go Australia and be a lollipop girl. Standing there and earn so much. Hey, i really dont mind to be a lollipop girl. Can you earn this amount in Singapore just by holding a "GO" sign? In Singapore you can never earn this amount if you don’t have much working experience and do not hold AT LEAST a Diploma cert. I think now a diploma holder can no longer get a decent pay job. With so many Degree holders around, how are you going to compete with them?
I really find it hard to believe. Just holding the sign can earn so much? If its true, than how much does the bangladesh earn in Singapore for standing there holding the sign? I don’t earn so much per annual, less than S$25,000. Am I too lowly paid? Anyway my change of job pay wasnt very much different. But my ex colleauge change of job pay was quite a big difference. But if want to compare to the pay that manager said....we can only say "HAIZ.... this is Singapore!" If you stay here you can only accept the fact, its either take it or leave it. No wonder everyones trying to get out of here. I wonder will i see this scenario that all singaporeans left here and here leftover are all FTS.

But if want to compare to the pay that manager said....we can only say "HAIZ.... this is Singapore!" If you stay here you can only accept the fact, its either take it or leave it. No wonder everyones trying to get out of here. I wonder will i see this scenario that all singaporeans left here and here leftover are all FTS.
Just yesterday morning, when I was in the bus to Sengkang, a PRC quarrel with an old uncle as the uncle accidently touched him while standing. Uncle was very angry and told him off, he said :"bus was moving, with so many people standing, sure will have movements. You dont have to shout at me! You think i like to touch you! You come to our country stand on our land and shout at me? " The PRC didnt comment annymore but just stare at the uncle. Even old uncle also fed up with them. Since he dont like people to accidently touch him, he can consider travel by CAB! Dont travel by bus.
Recently my god-sister asked me if I know how to get the australian pr. Since I have friends moving to Australia, I might have some information. Another one trying to get out of Singapore. I agree with what she told me, and i understand too as we all face almost the very same problems! People are really unhappy here, unhappy to the extent of leaving for good! Soon all the people around me 1 by 1 trying to leave. I did think of leaving too, but its just thinking. When you are very angry, sick n tired of everything here. Its either leave or stay and keep quiet. Currently there is nothing you can do. Only to grumble and vent our angers complaining. After that, please go back and do your work! :p
Haiz……now can only continue to slog n slog……and do more OT if you need $$.

Taking package of Free n Easy
We are planning to go taiwan again, and hopefully if everything goes as we plan. We will be visiting taiwan this year in Sep. We don’t know by than will we get our keys from HDB. But we believe it wont be so fast, looking at its currentstatus, its still so slow and we dont want to look at it anymore. No point keep checking when they dont want to hurry up.
I am now waiting for my probation period to be over. I need to wait till 27 May than my probation period will be over. This month end I will be getting my 2nd pay heehee…Hopefully everything goes as we planned. After this trip, don’t think we can go for long trip within few years. With flat coming, moving in, many things coming soon. So its best to go travel now while we still can go.

I am plannig to go on Sat and back on next Sat, a total of 8 days. As I do not wish to take too many days of leave, if I go on Sat and return on next sat, I will only take a total of 5 days leave. Back on sat i can still have 1 day to rest before going back to work on Mon. Well, since I have been to taiwan before, why taiwan again? Because i love Taiwan!
There are still many parts of taiwan I havent been before, this visit I would like to go to Kending, Taizhong, Hualian, Ri Yue Tang, Jiu Fen and of cause Taipei. Now the only thing is that not sure want to take up package tour or free n easy again. If go for free n easy, i would need to do alot of homework which i dont have so much time to do now. If i dont do i dont think anyone can help me to do the planning.

It takes a lot of time to plan the itinerary, you need to plan, check the location, available hotel, transportation… If take up package, I wont need to do anything, just pay money. But usually people prefer free n easy, taking package may not be cheaper, they also will bring you to some places which you do not wish to visit, but its include in the package, you have to go and you
wont really enjoy yourself. Taking up free n easy, you can plan your itinerary your way, when reach taiwan, go straight to Kending 1st, than to Taizhong, Ri Yue Tang, next Hualian, Next to taipei, and you can plan your hotspring trip, shopping time, eat any time you want etc...
We are still deciding now, not very sure how, no matter how we need to wait till june before we can decide. Maybe if I have the time, I will slowly do my itinerary first. At least in the end if want to take up free n easy, I don’t need to rush to do it. My 1st taiwan trip i have been to Gaoxiong, so i can dont need to go there again. Anyway, who got a itinerary to borrow me? Heehee...Itinerary must include transportation and maps.
Desaru Trip Apr 2012
Beautiful Sun Rise view.We went to desaru on Good friday for a 2D1N trip. With our couple friends and hubby's cousin family. It took us 2 hr plus to clear the custom as it was super jam. Due to long weekend, everyone wants to go for a short trip. Went to have some breakfast than we proceed to our destination.
We reach there around 2 plus, checked in, we stay in Pulai beach resort while my friends stay in Lotus Beach Resort. Its just next door, 5 mins walk. But Lotus was much cheaper than Pulai. We went to walk around taking pictures. My hubby didnt really like it there as the sea water was not the clear type. I told him to go Phuket if he wants clear water heehee... At around 6 plus we drove off to another place for dinner. On the way, we could see the Sunset view...took a picture of it.
Time for our dinner.
Lotus Beach Resort. The room was quite big, downstair is living room, upstairs will be bedroom.
Pulai Beach Resort Room.
Our 2D1N trip ended, on our way back to Johor, we left at 9 plus, wanting to go KSL city for a walk. As we feel theres nothing much to do in desaru, its quite a boring place. Actually wanted to relax, but in the end i dont feel i really relaxed and dont have the holiday feel.
Having some snacks in KSL.
At 3 plus we went over to eat our fav food...Sting Ray...satay....
The end of our trip, back to Singapore! Should have planned to go other place like Malacca or KL. Next time if there is long weekend, must really plan properly. No matter how at least we get to eat many good foods. :)A new friend joining me
Today there are 3 new staffs joining the company I worked in. One of them was my ex-colleuage Min from my ex company. Sometimes I feel fate is a miracle, its really amazing. Working in my ex company for so long, Min and me seldom chat on the phone, we know each other exist, but
didn’t know each other well. We were in the same company but different branch. We sort of like get to see each other when we go to our main office in orchard, but same, didn’t talk much. As I am not that type that goes round talking to other people, I am not that out-going. I am quite shy,
I need people to talk to me 1st. But now I trying to make a head start 1st, but I always run out of topic as I don’t really know what to say. So that explain why both in the same company for so many years and don’t know each other well.
Until recently I found a job in my current company. Through my branch colleauge Chevig, I know she wanted to have a change too, and wanted to get my agent contact. I gave her my agent email address and she emailed her. I believe its fate, she came to the same company I work in for interview. At that time I couldn’t tell her much as I am very new, our position are different too. At that stage I am very scared, being in a few days only. She can only decide herself, same as me she wanted a normal 5 day work job, off on sat and sun. If thers a change why not try out! She is still so young, no need to be afraid. It will be a stepping stone for her, working in account side she will
get to learn a lot, good for her haha. She is going to earn a lot in furture.
Since than we did chat more often, in facebook too we will comment and even meet up haha, my hubby pattern, match making, I actually introduce a guy give Min? Yes I did it, kpo haha. Min feels ok, as she don’t mind having more friends. My hubby's friend feel the same too, so we all meet up for lunch, chit chat. Anyway just be friends mah, it they are fated to be together, no matter how will be together. If no chemistry, than be friends. No harm having another friend. From what I heard, both of them did watsapp each other later on…mmmm….
I told her I will meet her today, since its her 1st day of work. Shw will be taking the same transport as me in Sengkang. She told me she is very nervous, I can understand how she feel. I feel the same as her when I 1st come work, feeling so loss and scared. I think I was more afraid than her. She still have me to talk to, wont feel so lonely. When I 1st come I feel so alone, but
slowly I feel better. Although I still have some fears, I learn to relax and not to worry too much. Cause by worrying also wont help much, only make me more stress and wont look forward to come work. So, let nature take its course. As long I did my best, theres nothing much to worry about. Always remember see no evil, hear no evil.
Later i will bring Min out for lunch, told her to relax and not to worry, its her 1st day of work only. It just bring back all the memories, I keep complainnig how scared I was, notti trying to convince me, my hubby keepsms me to see if I am ok. I just feel so sacred I totally have no mood. It took to 2 weeks and more to slowing get use to it and not to be afraid. 1st step is always very scaring, but if you don't try, you will never know if you can do it anot. At least you try, no matter fail or success, you did your best and there is no regret. Good luck Min and myself, lets work hard together and do our best!

Our KL trip in 2011
Wow...2011, now than post..haha. I was being lazy. I booked this free n easy trip last year, travelling in dec. Staying in Hotel Capitol. This is the 2nd time we are staying in this hotel. Price wise not too expensive, room is clean, toilet is clean too. Location wise was good too. Very near to Times square and many other shopping centres.Behind the hotel, there are many stalls selling great food. !st, have a look at the room, i booked Deluxe room, price i forgetton. Room rather big.
Depends with view you got, 1st time i get to see the twin towers, the 2nd stay, i didnt get this view. But its all right for me. Only that my side downstair there is a band, at night will be quite noisy, if possible request for high floor room.
Time to eat!! There are lots of nice food in KL.
Satay!!!
My Fav sting Ray! In singapore you can never get the same price!
A &W. You will never find this in Singapore anymore. Till now i dont know why Singapore no longer have A&W.
Time for some milk tea!
Buffet time! Why my hubby so happy eating in KL, Singapore have the same resturant. But the price...so much different. If you pay $30 per pax in Singapore, you will pay RM30 per pax in KL. The food quality same.
