Sick

ooh it's been a month since i last blogged huh
no no no, i've not given up on this place so fast. it's too beautiful to be deserted :P

some updates:

- finished running one conf3rence last week both in Singapore and Hong Kong
- worked OT almost every night before the conf3rence
- fell sick the weekend before the conf3rence, visited cok doc (more stories on him later on), finished medication but still sick
- fell very sick during the conf3rence
- didn't enjoy my hong kong trip
- got shot by boss while in hong kong thru email (happens every other day)
- came back and had 2 days MC
- back to work today

seriously... i'm very sick of working in this company already.

let's name the co "P/C" for short now. P/C has these 2 very short sighted bosses namely Mr PMS and Mrs Ju-On. They are husband and wife. Mr PMS and Mrs Ju-On have gotten on my nerves so many times that i have contemplated throwing my heels at their faces and leaving the company on the spot. i have also imagined, for a thousand times, to flip their tables and break their laptops whenever they pissed me off. and as usual, i have cursed them to "lao-sai" for 15 years many many many times already.

Some examples of how they really made my blood boil.
- Mrs Ju-On can scold me for half an hour over a HUGE AMOUNT of S$20 which was incurred due to a speaker's fault.
- She has also scolded me for one hour due to a mistake in spelling, where I spelt "PR's" as "PR'S"!! (see the mistake? Aprostophe S should be in small letters....)
- Mr PMS would type long long emails "shouting" out our faults whenever he is stressed by his Mrs Ju-On (I say "shout" because he would end his sentences with "!!!")
- He would also send emails of only 1 sentence to ask you to do stupid things when he can obviously see that we are busy like hell

last week, as we had to fly to hong kong, we were commanded to pack our things into a cabin bag so that we can hand carry the luggages on flight, instead of checking in our stuffs... all these to prevent excess baggage. my colleagues had to fly to another country after hong kong and they had to squeeze all their belongings into a small cabin bag, just for the sake of minimising excess baggage. we came up with alternative plans and suggested to Mr PMS and was shot to death by a nasty email which rejected the suggestion. in the end? no charges were incurred as we broke our bones, stretched our muscles and torn our tissues with the handheld luggages for all that's not worth - bosses that we hate.

if there's one thing i love about P/C, that would be my lovely colleagues. times at the office would have been terrible and intolerable if not for these fun people. there are no office politics - only us as a whole, against Mr PMS and Mrs Ju-On.

as much as i love my wonderful colleagues, i'm seriously sick of this job and this company with it's terrible management.

seeking greener pastures?

The Phantom and the Ghostbuster

I went to watch Phantom of The Opera at The Esplanade yesterday! Thanks to Shell, we had fantastic seats and quite a good view of the great musical. I've been wanting to watch this musical since I was in Secondary school.. but i was too broke to watch it last time and after waiting for 10+ years, it's finally back in Singapore!

The backdrops and effects were amazing.. Casts were perfect. I can now truly understand the magic that makes Phantom of the Opera tick. Oooh ya.. I've never clapped so long in my life before.. *sayang hands*

After the musical, I took a cab home from City Hall and I met the weirdest cab driver ever.

He started off by asking if I went shopping.. I said no, I went to watch Phantom of the Opera blah blah blah...

(Here are some snippets of our conversation. Those in (brackets) were my thoughts at that moment)

Driver: So have you seen the REAL phantom before?
Me: You mean..ghosts? Nope..
Driver: So is your inner spirit strong enough for it?
Me: (o.O) What do you mean? Like scared?
Driver: Ya!
Me: I think so! Definitely!
Driver: That means your inner spirit is not strong enough....

Me: (..........) Er....... so have you seen it yourself?
Driver: Of course! I've seen lots and lots.... Have you heard of Ghostbusters?
Me: In Singapore? Nope!
Driver: Well.. I'm one..
Me: Oh...... (Right....)

Driver: I've seen lady ghost, seaghost, Japan ghosts, black genie, ghosts with only head and intestines, no body....
Me: Oh.. so do some of them actually look like real man and woman?
Driver: The lady ghosts look like normal human.. but they cover their face with the hair.. only the LUCKY ones can see their red eyes.. *Laughs hysterically* In fact, I've driven lady ghosts before, one sat behind my driver seat that time.
Me: Erm... that's where I'm seating!! ($%#$%@%)
Driver: I've even had passenger died inside my cab before! He waited for 4 hours and came up into my cab then said "Bye Bye" and died.
Me: Oh my gosh, let me down now! Haha... (Someone save me please.... >_<)

Driver: Long long time ago, in another cab.. I had a passenger who dress like ancient martial arts master. He sat beside me and began to tell my fortune.. About 95% was correct! Then he asked me for my car number to help me with 4D.. but I rejected him lah, cos I don't want to win this type of money. Next day my car number really 1st prize! And you know where I dropped him? LIM CHU KANG! *Laughs hysterically again*.. and "poof" he disappeared in front of my eyes!
Me: (urgh...................)

Me: So you drive in the day time and catch ghosts at night?
Driver: No, I drive 24 hours! I seldom sleep lah, only go to the mosque to sleep 1-2 hours sometimes.. I don't sleep at home, cos I need extra protection.
Me: Oh... (Am I gonna get into an accident cos of his lack of sleep?)

Driver: Once I got into a curse! Someone from KL sent a curse, my right eye was blinded while I was driving.. Totally cannot see!
Me: Oh no, then how?
Driver: I drove the passenger home and went to the mosque to pray.. after 8 hours battle then my eyes ok.
Me: (1stly got ghosts in his cab before, then people died before, and he doesn't have enough sleep, and he might get cursed anytime? How safe is this ride?)

Driver: There are more black magic in Malaysia than Singapore. And they can send the curses all the way from KL, you know! Have you seen flying eggs?
Me: Flying eggs? No!
Driver: Nowadays Singapore no more...but Malaysia a lot.. Once they sent flying eggs to Singapore, with needle inside. This is very dangerous ah...we battled it for very long... because, if got 3rd party very strong also, he can intercept the egg and make it change direction!
Me: Oh............ That's very dangerous.. (speechless)

Driver: Next time when you see black snakes in your house, like cobra or python, don't catch it first! You ask it to leave..by saying "if you are evil, leave.. if you are a snake, don't leave"
Me: Erm... English or Mandarin it can understand?
Driver: The spirit knows what you want to tell it, so it's ok one.. you try 3 times to ask it to leave.. if 3 times it never leave, means it's just normal snake....
Me: ( =_=|||||)

I suspect he was really having fun with my reactions.. and mind, these are not all that he said. He added stories of his family being in curse before, his nephew being cursed in Malaysia and his numerous battles with the evil.

Phew... I'm only glad that I reached my destination safe and sound.

Tissue Lady...?

Some people have been asking me, why name your blog "Tissue Lady"?




Once upon a time............

There was a young girl with sweaty palms.. The little girl would always carry a lot of tissue with her everyday when she was studying in her primary school.
Slowly, everyone in her class started calling her "Tissue Lady". Even her primary school teacher approached her for tissue!
And..the little girl grew up with her sweaty palms still sweaty and still carrying a lot of tissue with her wherever she goes.

.................and she lived happily ever after.

Up & Away!

Tada!

Pretty pretty!

I like this skin.. there's an optimistic feel to it - which i like and need.

So, lets pin our hopes up HIGH!! Sky's the limit!

The Sweet Beginning

Have been reading up a few blogs recently during my free time and got envious of people who own pretty blogs filled with photos and thoughts of their daily life.

So here I am, with my 567815263th attempt to set up a blog of my own. Alright, I'm taking in bets to see how long this blog will last.... :P

I will dress this place up when I have more time! :)
