Travis' injury

For those have been asking after Travis, thank you so much for your concern. I have finally met up with the tow company and RM last Thurs to settle the issue and resolution was pretty quick.
The manager of the tow company took a look at my car & the documents and subtlely admitted it was their fault by agreeing to pay for re-spraying.

Now lies one more problem, I need to let them bring Travis to the workshop and there is NO Way I trust their tow trucks anymore. What's more, they intend to come to my office to tow Travis away .. can you imagine?? I will probably be the talk of JBL if that ever happens. ... sigh ..


Travis' injury ... see the ugly green paint....

Car Wash !

Finally my poor car had a wash on Saturday after being subjected to his daily "pepper mask" from JBL for the past weeks. For a moment, I have forgotten that my tyre rims were silver cos they were so coated with dust and mud and what have you that it was BLACK !!! Arrghhhh ...

So here are some "evidences" that we REALLY did wash Travis okie ....No prizes for guessing who did more of the hardwork ..hahaha ... No hor, it is equally tiring sitting inside the car cleaning okie .. = P

Some pointers from this car washing experience:
  1. Never do a manicure BEFORE you decided to wash .. nails were all ruined!!
  2. Always bring some drinking water when one decided to dedicate 2 hrs under the hot sun! (Yes,yes, my fault .. we were so desperate that we nearly drank off the pail ..hahaha)
  3. Always check where "Maria" is cos you DO NOT want soap dripping on your head!
  4. Never try washing your car away from the washing bay cos will kenna FINE man. Thankfully, some kind soul warned us of that while we were happily having a foam party.

Covergirl

I know, I know ... I SHOULD be asleep by now, knowing I have to attend a meeting in the morning (yes, on a SAT morning at 830AM, can you imagine!!) ... what kind of company does that ?? hahahaha .. actually many companies do right ?? (make me feel better pleeeeaasssseee...)

Anyway, strange but true but think I have the label "COVER GIRL" stamped on my forehead. Pretty glam right ? Yah yah, I know I hv the au natural flaire ....But wait till you find out that its cos I am always COVERING someone else's duties !!! Faintz .....

Proof ?? Previously, I was known as the CCO aka Chief Covering Officer, with bits and pieces of work thrown on my lap .. "can you cover this B4 the new person comes in" .. "can you cover that in the interim since no owner identified" is my daily fare but I 忍

Now that I have moved, its coming back to haunt me again ! "Can you cover the SQA Cat 4.1 ... oh by the way, maybe Cat 4.4 too " ...."since you hv experience, can you take over Expat Mgt till Aug " ... " Oh, your staff resigned, pls cover her duties too" .... Arrrggghhhh .... see what I mean ?!

1 Person , doing 3 person's work = Cheap labour .... 认命 man hahaha

Now that I said my peace, I can go sleep .....hahahaha

Its raining mud in JBL !!

For those who do not know where in the world is JBL (which is impossible cos its where I eat, live, breathe & sometimes complain for at least 11 hrs a day !) ... welcome to Jalan Boon Lay aka the place where the air smells funny... it is TRUE! Some day could be weird chemical fumes/exhaust/pollution what have you but most days are COCOA days where smell of supposedly "purest" form of cocoa lingers in the air . Takes a bit of getting used to the sourish scent but after awhile, it kinda grows on you but trust me, it is NO WAY near the smell of chocolate which you are used to. Keen to find out, come visit me at JBL then!muahahaha

Oh yes, back to the topic of raining mud in JBL ... My proof ? Look at my TRAVIS !! Okie, I know you can't see so let me describe. Travis WAS one SPOTLESS Dashing little Ford idling his way in the JBL carpark in the morning, happily minding his own business and chatting with his fellow Japanese neighbours when all of a sudden, a huge downpour descended upon him and the aftermath ? Little brown dots spewed all over him (okie, that was a exaggeration .. maybe not ALL over but significant enough). Initially, I blamed our fowl friends for not controlling their bladder well but unless its having a diahorrea in flight, there is no way, the spots could be ALL over the car. This happened on both days so my "logical" conclusion is that ... its raining mud man. Now I know why there are very very very few white or light coloured cars in my carpark. Sigh ....maybe I shd suggest to the Mgt for a sheltered carpark... yah right...I wish
