Hate Being SICK!

Okie, I know no ones likes being sick but this is really terrible. Been down with god knows what over the weekend and played Doctor with my own prescription of Panadol, Clarinase, lozenges and Woods but sigh ....I am STILL sick ..so have to make the inevitable trip to the polyclinic. It was super crowded I tell u ... feels sick just sitting inside cos every now and then, someone is coughing and blowing their noses.

What makes it more irritating is my new company/colleagues are not too kind when it comes to absence like that . Especially since I am considered new. But it is ridiculous, a person is sick then must take MC right ??!! Such insecurity ... and I can imagine I will BE the topic during lunch time gossip. Can't pple just make use of their time more constructively ?? Medical leave entitlement is given for a reason, not just a show to staff that the org "cares". I am one who objects to any org who gives monetary rewards for being MC free. I agree it has its merits but many a times, pple come to work sick just cos they do not want to have that marked against them and in the process, spread the virus around to their colleagues! Totally irresponsible I must say.

In any case, some of you might have thought the fever has burnt some of my brain cells which has resulted in my raving ... fear not, I am still very sane ... except a little irritated cos of the work related sms I am getting . Arrggghhh ..... and its all under my personal account for your info .

Come to think of it ... maybe the above is the words of a hungry woman ....hahahaha .. time to make my bread soaked in tea ... I know its very ah Ma-ish but I can't swallow so cant be helped right. Short of mincing all my food like a baby ...hahahaha

Interesting Pics over the week

Freedom FINALLY .... *taken on San's last day at work* .... hehehehe

Message from WWF (not World Wrestling Federation lah !) : When trees die, animals die too. Liked the subtle implication cos we must love the EARTH ...

Gives a whole new meaning to 忍到脸青 .... bet Mr Vodoo feels all relieved on his "throne" now .. =p

Tit bits & Peppermint Peckers anyone ?

Who says one can't have FUN at work .. check out these toys I snapped in the Office .

Dedicated to one of favourite colleagues, BARBIE!!

Hi Barbie,
Just realised that it will be your last day tomorrow and I can't be there to give you my hugs and kisses and Hi Fives ... yes FINALLY !!! hehehehe ....

Will really miss you .. in fact have been missing our entire team lots for the past 4 months ... think my frequent emailing and gossiping attest to that ! = P

We were such a great team together & I can't ask for better pals like you girls. Love all those whacky moments when we made so much noise and our shrieks and laughter can be heard from all corners of the office (finally the long awaited peace has come now that we are all GONE). And not forgetting our growing mama shop with loads of turkish delights, meiji chocs, rocher, sour creams chips & etc etc etc ... remember our motto ...We live to eat & eat & eat ....hehehe

We'll definitely stay in touch cos you still owe me a picture of a pretty bride (hint hint) and so this is not goodbye but just see ya later !

Lots Love,
Hainanese United! Muack !

Breakfast For Dinner anyone ?

Yummm .. here I am munching on my cheese (calories ladden cheddar no less) on toasted multi grain bread (my redemption factor ... healthy what) accompanied by a nice cold cup of HL milk and oh, not forgetting my 3 blistery looking (dunno why it turned out with strange bumps) sausages ... cest la vie ...

In case you are wondering ... no this is not my bkf but my dinner for today! Guess I am one of those weird folks who likes to have bkf for dinner (you know, like cereals and oat and pancakes and toasts .. you get the picture) , fries dipped in Macs strawberry sundane, eats harshbrown with raspberry jam and thinks M&Ms with rice can be quite yummy. You think I'm mad too dun you .. admit it my friend ...hahahaha

To say that I am adventurous with food ? Nah ... I dun agree cos I am not the 1st in line to try weird ,and I really meant Fear Factor worthy kind of weird, food when I am overseas. Think the furthest I went was to eat fried grasshoppers along the streets of Bangkok (very oily and salty) & steamed sikworm cocoons (reek of ammonia man) in Korea. Pretty mild I would say.

Was just discussing with my colleagues who just came back from China on the kind of weird stuff she has eaten and apparently fried bees & scorpion are pretty good and she stop short of eating 田鼠 and dog's meat. Have seen signboards promoting cat, donkey, crocodile's meat and my uncle even tried monkey's meat which I thought was totally gross. Heard in parts of Msia, sparrows are BBQ and served... sigh ... always believed that some creatures are created not for human consumption.

Having said that, it is not only the Chinese(not being discriminatory cos I am a Chinese too) who eats weird stuff .. even the westerners have their own delicacies which I find it tough to stomach .

This article is pretty cool on both end of the spectrum so check it out http://www.maxent.org/ch/exotic_food.html

Wild Nite ... woohoo !!

NEWS HEADLINE : Too hot to handle .. 4 supposedly sober girls went wild and lost all inhibitions in a little Karaoke Room at Bukit Pasor !

Think thats not groundbreaking news ??!! Not when the dancing quartet comprised of *GASP* Ah ma ACBG doing her soy milk grinding dance moves , Retro Ms LS rolling her way with every beat, Flabbalious Wenz doing what comes naturally .... wriggling her flabby arms uncontrollably & Corny Monkey with her award winning transvesite impersonation coupled with a spinning Fusia Pink umbrella! What a sight to behold!

Yup, 1st hand witness, Ms cutie pie wannabe was reported stunned beyond words with the strange encounter and secretly video the entire "ritual".

Reliable sources have revealed that the quartet was last seen drinking some beverage which they claimed was hot honey (yah, as IF !) but suspicions are rife that there is more than meet the eye.

Interested parties who are keen to have a sneak peek of the video.. do drop an email to
WLL@youwish.com and special arrangements would be made.

If you are unable to reach me, this email works too ... its WaitLongLong@youwish.com

Skype is Great !

Am now on skype with Ms Monkey (yes , finally I managed to coerce her to download) and we are having so much fun chatting. Only thing is that she doesn't have a camera so she has the unfair advantage of seeing me in my PJs & messy hair ! No fair ... donch care ... tomorrow she MUST get a camera too !! hehehehe

For those who are not on skype, try it ... that's how I get to see my baby cousin & grannie over in China so often .....

Warning : This would also mean that you jolly well look good on screen lest SOMEONE starts critizing you on the flowery auntie PJ you wears!

See this pic taken off skype of my cute cousin ...Jun Jun .... = )

Medieval Wedding

Awww ... am watching CNA on "I Do, Let's Eat!" one of my favourite weekend shows and its the final episode featuring a medieval wedding. So magical right ? And the groom and bride calling themselves KING & QUEEN along with homemade thrones with 12 ladies in waiting and 12 knights ...imagine that! And all the guests were gamely geared in medieval costume .. wish I could attend a wedding like that . Love thematic parties ...

And of cos not forgeting the most important part of a wedding .. the FOOD ! Yup, it was all done in medieval style along with a huge roasted pig (like our suckling pig) and the weirdest of it all must be the Fish & Fruit tart below ...and apparently the most delectable dish of the night !

Here's some pics I have taken from the show .. yup, I do love my camera ... = )
