Mum Hospitalisation

Had not been going back to my parents' place for dinner for a long time... Especially because of the 7th month. Last Thursday, received a call from my dad early in the morning and heard a shocking news that my mum was hospitalised in CGH.

He said that my mum had very bad tummy ache and was sent in during the night. Gonna had her x-ray done in the morning and was updated in the afternoon that she cleared her x-ray. The doctor cannot find anything wrong...

Told Louye that we would be going back today to visit her. Maybe, it was due to the stress ba... Her new work might be less tedious but it certainly added to the stress being have to be on high alert all the time.

Changing like the weather, she used to drink a little wine and chicken essence. Now, we bought for her. She said, "No... no... I dont drink..." Haiz... Nevertheless, we left them there and told her to drink because the tonic will benefit her health.

我們都老得太快 卻聰明得太遲

把錢省下來，等待退休後再去享受。結果退休後，因為年紀大，身體差，行動不方便，哪裡也去不成。錢存下來等養老，結果孩子長大了，要出國留學，要創業做生意，要花錢娶老婆，自己的退休金都被拗走了。


當自己有足夠的能力善待自己時，就立刻去做，老年人有時候是無法做中年人或是青少年人可以做的事，年紀和健康就是一大因素。小孩子從小就告訴他，養你到高中，大學以後就要自立更生，要留學，創業，娶老婆，自己想辦法，自己要留多一點錢，不要為了小孩子而活。


我們都老得太快卻聰明得太遲，我的學長去年喪妻。這突如其來的事故，實在叫人難以接受，但是死亡的到來不總是如此。學長說他太太最希望他能送鮮花給他，但是他覺得太浪費，總推說等到下次再買，結果卻是在她死後，用鮮花佈置她的靈堂。這不是太蠢愚了嗎？！
等到 ...... 、等到..... ，似乎我們所有的生命，都用在等待。


「等到我大學畢業以後，我就會如何如何」我們對自己說
「等到我買房子以後！」
「等我最小的孩子結婚之後！」
「等我把這筆生意談成之後！」
「等到我死了以後」
人人都很願意犧牲當下，去換取未知的等待；犧牲今生今世的辛苦錢，去購買後世的安逸。


在台灣只要往有山的道路上走一走，就隨處都可看到「農舍」變「精舍」，山坡地變靈塔，無非也是為了等到死後，能圖個保障，不必再受苦。許多人認為必須等到某時或某事完成之後再採取行動。
明天我就開始運動
明天我就會對他好一點
下星期我們就找時間出去走走
退休後，我們就要好好享受一下


然而，生活總是一直變動，環境總是不可預知，在現實生活中，各種突發狀況總是層出不窮。身為一個醫生，我所見過的死人，比一般人要來得多。這些人早上醒來時，原本預期過的是另一個平凡無奇的日子，沒想到一個意料之外的事；交通意外、 腦溢血、心臟病發作等等。剎那間生命的巨輪傾覆離軌，突然闖進一片黑暗之中。那麼我們要如何面對生命呢？我們毋需等到生活完美無瑕，也毋需等到一切都平穩，想做什麼，現在就可以開始做起。一個人永遠也無法預料未來，所以不要延緩想過的生活，不要吝於表達心中的話， 因為生命只在一瞬間。


記住！
給活人送一朵鮮花，強過給死人送貴重的花圈。每個人的生命都有盡頭，許多人經常在生命即將結束時，才發現自己還有很多事沒有做，有許多話來不及說，這實在是人生最大的遺憾。別讓自己徒留「為時已晚」的空餘恨。
逝者不可追，來者猶未卜，最珍貴、最需要即時掌握的「當下」，往往在這兩者蹉跎間，轉眼錯失。人生短暫飄忽，包得有一首小詩這樣寫：高天與原地，悠悠人生路；行行向何方，轉眼即長暮。正是道盡了人生如寄，轉眼即逝的惶恐。有許多事，在你還不懂得珍惜之前已成舊事；有許多人，在你還來不及用心之前 已成舊人。遺憾的事一再發生，但過後再追悔早知道如何如何」是沒有用的，「那時候」已經過去，你追念的人也已走過了你


一句瑞典格言說：「我們老得太快，卻聰明得太遲。」不管你是否察覺，生命都一直在前進人生並未售來回票，失去的便永遠不再將希望寄予「等到方便的時間才享受」我們不知失去了多少可能的幸福不要再等待有一天你「可以鬆口氣」，或是「麻煩都過去了」。生命中大部分的美好事物都是短暫易逝的，享受它們、品嚐它們，善待你周圍的每一個 人，別把時間浪費在等待所有難題的「完滿結局」上。


找回迷失的生命，死亡也許是免費的 ─ 但是，卻要付出生命的代價。
勸大家一句話：把握當下，莫等待。

你會伸出哪根手指戴上戒指?

女 孩們總喜歡在指上帶些晶亮亮的戒指,金的、銀的、玻璃的、小碎鑽,甚至各種可愛奇特的動物造型等等,琳琅滿目之餘似乎也更添女性幾分柔媚的美感,而其中最 特別的,該是情人所贈、用來表達心意的情戒吧!如果你是位男孩,你會將戒子套在你情人(或是意中人)的哪只手指呢？或,如果你是位女孩,你又會伸出哪根指 頭讓你的情人戴呢？

A.食指
B.中指
C.無名指
D.小指


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


A.食指:通常食指是用來指東指西、使喚人的,所以會選擇這只指頭的男女,很顯然你們與情人間存在的是一種尊卑、上下強弱的情感關係。就男孩而言,將戒指 套在情人食指上,正顯示出你覺得自己配不上她,她就像個高高在上的女神般令你不敢妄?,你對她與其說是“愛”,不如說是仰慕、崇敬。至於女孩,若只願伸出 食指讓情人配戴,則很顯你是個挺自我尊貴的人,你愛自己勝過於愛你的情人,很可能與他在一起,只是為了滿足你指使的虛榮與炫耀心理吧!當然,也有可能是尚 未遇到令你鍾愛之人。通常這類型的男女,感情都不會太順利。



B.中指:是所有指頭中最粗長的一隻,因此含有某種隱約的性暗不在其中,會選擇中指配戴的男女,大概對你的情人不免有性的祈求與渴望吧!很可能你對你們目 前的親密程度不是很滿意,希望能來一次“激情的交會”,但這樣的熱情來得快去得也快,不妨多花點時間在彼此感情的交流上吧!



C.無名指:無論男女,你對你的情人可是充滿了濃情密意喔!如果一對男女同時選擇配戴無名指,很可能你們認為彼此都已有很深的信任與瞭解,默契已為,感情也很甜蜜穩定,已有互許終生的意願了,那麼,缺的可能只是一張結婚證書囉!祝福你們啦!



D.小指:小指的特質是纖小嬌柔。會讓情人配戴小指的女性,很可能是個需要男性殷勤體貼與照顧的小女人,而因為你的稍帶戀父情結,你會去選擇較年長而體貼的男士來關愛你。

Happenings And Plans

Yesterday, Pastries came over to my workplace and we had a short simple lunch together. Long time no see her... :) Was so very glad that we were able to meet up. Both of us had been so busy with work and family commitments...

She bought me a gift - a parenting book which I had browsed through yesterday night and believed would come in very handy/useful in the near future. Hehe... She also brought me her home-made kueh lapis which I had for breakfast this morning. Yummy yum yum! I took a big slice, think it would be finished up in no time at all. :p

Sent Dar dar to Bedok Camp for his IPPT earlier this morning but the sky looked so threateningly gloomy. Hopefully, there will be strong wind to blow the dark clouds away. Hope he will be able to complete his tests today so that he wont waste this trip and had to go down again. Get it over and done with. Lol...

Planning to stay over at Sengkang tonight. Planning to go Ktv with Rara tomorrow. Wondering if Winy Chicken wants to join us... Had asked her the other day but no response... Hmm... I need to book the room leh! Else we go there cannot sing because all the rooms had been fully booked. :p

Such Coincidence

=====================================================================

★☆ 喜歡紅色(隱藏的性格)☆★

喜歡紅色的人是屬於精力旺盛的行動派。不管花多少力氣或代價也要滿足自己的好奇心以及欲望。你充滿精神的態度,會感染你周圍的朋友。但由於缺乏耐性,常常 稍微不順自己的意,就會生氣。不過天生樂觀的你並不會因為挫折而悶悶不樂,而總是想辦法當場解決。對於阻擋自己幸福的人,則懷有很深的敵意。一旦有事情發 生,你總是先怪罪別人,這點對你相當不利。如果對別人能夠以更寬大的心對待,相信你的人氣會更旺。

喜歡綠色的人基本上是一個追求和平的人。卻害怕獨處,喜歡群體的生活。也因此你擅長與周圍的人保持良好的和諧關係,總是給人親切溫和的印象。而周圍的人也 對你十分信賴跟崇拜。不過,因為對每個人的態度都差不多,所以有時候也容易讓人誤認為是個八面玲瓏的人。喜歡綠色的人十分上進,但因為不喜歡在團體中太過 突出,所以也會要求周圍的人一起奮發向上。



★☆ 喜歡粉紅色(隱藏的性格)☆★

喜歡粉紅色的人常常想讓自己呈現出年輕、有朝氣的感覺。甚至希望在旁人的眼中是個高貴的形象。喜歡粉紅色的人大多不是俊男就是美女,散發著一股讓人看到就 很舒服的魅力。因不擅長向人吐露心事,常常躲在自己的小天地之中。又因不容易接受別人的意見,也不喜歡和人爭論,也常被當做是優柔寡斷的人。另外,無法忍 受現實的難堪及曾被信任的人背叛的人也會喜歡粉紅色。



★☆ 喜歡棕色(隱藏的性格)☆★

喜歡棕色的人個性拘謹,自我價值觀很強烈。很怕因外來因素的介入,而必須改變自己。但外表及處理事情的態度上,卻給人有一種很大的信賴感。對人與人之間的 厲害關係劃分的很清楚,所以容易給別人一種冷漠的傾向。不過因為你耿直的個性,讓人很信服你,不知不覺中支持你的夥伴會越來越多。



★☆ 喜歡藍色(隱藏的性格)☆★

喜歡藍色的人是個很有理性的人。面對問題常常臨危不亂,在起衝突時總是默默將事情化解,等到該與以反擊時,一定會以很漂亮的手段讓人折服。乍看之下應該人 緣不錯,不過卻不擅與人交際,所以只和志同道合的朋友自組一個小團體。常因堅持崇高的信念而受人尊敬。絕對的堅持己見,對旁人的意見欠缺採納的雅量,所以 與人意見相左時,雖然表面上不會顯露出任何不悅,但其實心裏很介意。



★☆ 喜歡紫色(隱藏的性格)☆★

喜歡紫色的人通常很多都是藝術家,容易多愁善感。但機智中帶有感性,觀察力特別敏銳。雖然自認平凡,但相當有個性。在公開場合中顯得沉默而內向。但常常容 易濫用你的感情,以致造成很多不必要的誤會,這種不是惡意的濫情,在事後別人告訴你之後,你會很認真的反省,但也容易再犯。



★☆ 喜歡黃色(隱藏的性格)☆★

喜歡黃色的人富有高度的創造力及好奇心。關心社會問題甚於切身問題,喜歡追求崇高的理想,學問淵博,你也引此為傲。看起來你好像社交家一樣,其實內心很孤獨。所以,你絕對不會背叛朋友,也絕對不做沒有把握的事。

喜歡黑色的人通常很積極。對未來會做很好的規劃跟努力。即使外表不修邊幅,看起來還是很優雅、高尚。在旁人的眼中,你是個有主見及應對得體的人,而你也希望在別人眼中是個不平凡的人物。



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



★☆ 討厭紅色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭紅色的人不喜歡別人跟他太過親近。因為如此,對於突然來臨逼迫式的愛情你會臨陣脫逃。其實你心裏是渴望激烈的愛情的,但由於這種矛盾的性格,使你在感情的路上一直波折不斷,這些波折也使你對愛情更裹足不前,以致錯失良緣。



★☆ 討厭綠色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭綠色的人在心態上一直不希望變成大人,所以在戀愛上來說,是希望備受呵護跟注意,希望對方不斷為自己付出。因為這種不容易替對方著想的性格,常常說出傷人而自己又不自覺的話,最後只會讓情人心。



★☆ 討厭粉紅色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭粉紅色的人在戀愛上給人不夠坦率的感。常常會對另一半所挑剔,即使對方送了禮物給你,在說謝謝之前,還是會挑三撿四的說了一堆不該說的話。老實說,你就是希望對方把你捧上天對你服服貼貼的。



★☆ 討厭棕色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭綜色的人在戀愛上採取放任的態度。喜歡主動、直接強烈的愛情,當遇到個性龜毛的物件,就會顯得急躁。由於好奇心太強烈,常會被很多新奇的事物給吸引, 以致常常忽略了情人。而且想到什麼就去做什麼,人緣很好,這一點會讓你的情人感到不安。和朋友相處的時間遠比情人還多,所以你的情人總有一天一定會離你而 去。



★☆ 討厭藍色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭藍色的人在愛情上尋求互補的對象。如果自己欠缺才華則會特別崇拜有才華的人。對你來說,擁有自己所沒有優點的人,會讓你的生活更加精采刺激。但這種性格很容易呈現疲乏,一旦遇到更厲害的物件,你馬上又會移情別戀了。



★☆ 討厭紫色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭紫色的人,喜歡在戀愛上採取主控權。與其說是為了愛而企求對方改變,不如說是希望按照自己的希望去塑造情人。在愛情上的你很強勢,愛控制人,讓你的情人會忍不住想逃離你的身邊。不過,因為你很有自信,所以就算情人離開你,你也不會太難過。



★☆ 討厭黃色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭黃色的人在愛情上,喜歡將自己的價值觀強加在對方身上。因此,尋找的多半是和自己相像或平凡的物件,而絕對不會對無法預見未來的藝術家產生興趣。但是跟自己太相象的人在一起久了,又覺得缺乏某種刺激而希望改變現狀,實在矛盾極了。



★☆ 討厭黑色(戀愛癖)☆★

討厭黑色的人在戀愛上看來是個討厭被束縛的自由份子。十分相信自己的直覺選擇物件。尤其相信一見鍾情,即使對方已有對象或家室,你也會不顧一切追求他,這點相當危險。

Simple Get Together

Met up with the girls on Sunday. :)

Was going to rain heavily so Louye and Dar dar sent me down to Marine Square. Hehe... My dad reminded me yesterday night not to stay out too late during the lunar 7th month while Louye reminded me once again to be careful and came back early for the chicken soup. ^-^

Messaged the girls to see who had reached so that I can join her/them. Lol... Eneristar met up with me first. We went to MacDonald for a drink while waiting for the rest. Aqua joined us shortly.

The 3 of us went to Cafe Catel to have our lunch since it was late. Too much food. Lol... Luckily we had Deed coming to finish up the food for us. Hehe... Had a change of plans after lunch. Decided to start shopping right away instead of going Ktv.

Shopped all the way... The gals bought lots of stuffs from the Tangs Bazaar. I also bought a lot of stuffs - 8 bottles of the dry shampoo needed for use during my confinement period. Got 20% discount at Guardian mah. :p

Had our dinner at a quiet comic themed cafe Deed recommended. Food was okay, service was okay. The chicken wings were hot, freshly fried, the pizza had nice, crispy crust...

We didnt do much but I think it was a simple enjoyable get together. ^-^

Stress Release

I think I didnt go online to talk to Didi after his new semester started. You know how messy office was. How long had that been? A couple of weeks? Dar dar also didnt talk much to him... Being unavailable when he messaged him.

Today was the first time we had a conference call since then... He looked really solemn. Stress... No smile on his face when the gu chays talked to him. I guess they also knew...

Learnt that he was studying in the library most of the time. Sayang sayang... All the best of luck. Ng Gu Chay was saying, "No pain, no gain. No gain, bigger pain..." Of course. Afterall, this not only concern the amount of resources used to send him overseas. Most importantly, it affected his future.

I was glad that Dar dar and me managed to give him an outlet to stress release when we talked/made fun of each other in front of him. He smiled and he laughed... Didi, take good care of yourself ya... We will always be behind you. Jia You!

Messy

Things in the office had never been more messy than it had been now...

Boss wanted to make changes in the system, in the way we had been processing orders... Apparantly, he had talked to Bigger Boss but whether things had been official, I was not sure. But somehow, certain things were implemented before they were official?

Dont know what I have to do, what I ought to do... Things were neither here nor there... Really messy and lost. Bought some more black tourmaline to put in the office. Set up the 7th stars formation. Hopefully, they can help me to block block block! Total number of black tourmaline in office - 1 big, 9 small. Lol...

Not Assured At All

Never had so much meetings with Boss in my life at IKM...

Yesterday, Boss had a meeting with the 3 of us in the conference room. He talked a lot, especially on how he saw a major crisis coming due to oil crisis, food crisis, etc etc... He said he was not trying to make us not ask for another staff. Hmm...

I dont really understand what he wanted us to understand. Only that, he would like to get rid of the control imposed by the upper management and he was concerned if we would be able to cope with 1 less man.

1st thing this morning, got called into his room to discuss further about the control. Despite the meetings yesterday and today, I wondered if he really understand the amount of workload I had been undertaking.

I told him that I cannot handle the workload my sup passed down as I was already overloaded with orders, payments and shipments. Dont you understand? Myanmar's orders are increasing, payments and shipments are also increasing!

Randy offered to take over the responsibilities of obtaining the approvals for the order requests. Well... That is a major load off my mind but I wondered if it will last...

Boss stressed that he can make Gerald come back if necessary. I wondered if he will make him come back in time if neccessary... Dont wait till everything becomes heywired, now is not the peak season yet.

Transition period for me...

Flooded With Work

28th July, rushing out the documents for the containers over the weekends. Had wish to submit the negotiation documents to the bank on the 29th July because 1 of the L/Cs will be expiring on that day. Managed to make it. Also managed to rush out the whole bunch of Debit Notes to CSPL who requested it that day itself as their accounts was closing.

30th July, learnt that my Sup's last day was on 31st July. Rained down a whole lot of stuffs which I had no idea, head or tail. Completely lost... Tried to follow up, tried to make arrangements... Sorta instantly take over. Troubled. Stressed. Didnt sleep well...

31st July, more rained down... Myanmar asking for more stuffs. Still hopelessly lost. Frustrations. Believed I got Dar dar worried since yesterday. He came down to go out with me to cheer me up? By 10pm, I was completely "knocked" out.

1st August, 1st day without Sup in the office. Managed to be slightly more composed with the help of my other colleagues. Boss informed that he would be coming back next week to settle manpower/workload issue with us?
