Mum arrived back tonight almost time for dinner. She is darker. She enjoyed herself so much until she said those places she went are so much better than KK. I am glad to hear that.
She left here with two bags and came back with four bags. She bought a lot of winter clothings while she was in KL for her upcoming trip to
When I first started working in my current job, I wore skirts to work. But after those skirts ran their course, I did not get new ones and have since been wearing pants until today.
I only sometimes wear high heels on Sunday and never during work. In fact, most of my colleagues wear slippers as soon as they arrive at work. I am the only one who wear my sandals and do not change to other footwear.
After the new air-conditioner had been installed, I feel better and migraine does not occur as often as before.
At times when it was raining outside, I was cold. So from today onwards I started to wear socks during work. And I do not feel cold anymore.
The only other time previously where I wore socks was when I was exercising, either working out in the gym or doing other physical activity like playing badminton.

We had a good time of chatting with Aunty Alice as well after dinner.
Today is the last day of training for one of our trainees. We had lunch in the office consisting of curry chicken, sweet and sour fish, mixed vegetables and bean curd.
The trainee JL excused himself around 11a.m. and told me he had to go out from the office for a while. Half an hour later he came back with two plastic bags, one on each of his hand.
I only discovered an hour later, he went to Big Apple Donuts & Coffee to take away two dozen donuts of different flavours.
After lunch, with an already full stomach, I took this donut on recommendation from one of my colleagues.
This is a durian flavoured donut, with real durian in the middle of the donut.
For someone like me who usually does not eat dessert, It tasted ok but I would not rush out to Big Apple Donuts & Coffee to buy one anytime soon. I can live without it.
This morning at 7.40a.m. mum accompanying by her youngest sister Linda attended an interview for her application for

At 11.13a.m. I received a phone call from my sis-in-law telling me that mum has obtained her
Yesterday Aunty Linda called me to tell me that she and mum were shopping for winter clothings for mum in KL.
About half a year ago, Contractor Wong CZ’s (WCZ (the one who gives me angpow during CNY)) company was tendering for a project under my company. He has the confidence that his company will be awarded the project. So he told me if the client awards his company the project, he would treat everyone involves in the project to a trip overseas.
Today finally we received the news from the client and Contractor WCZ’s company was awarded the contract. I tried to call him to tell him the good news, but he did not pick up the phone. He was probably busy talking on his mobile phone.
When I told the boss the news, he called Contractor WCZ right away and beat me in being the bearer of good news. When I finally talked to Contractor WCZ, he told me he already knew yesterday because the client had called him directly and told him.
After congratulating him, I jokingly told him if he still wants to treat the whole team to a trip overseas, I would rather mine to be in the form of cash. He laughed and asked, ‘Like that also can?’. So I told him ‘yeah, why not?’. Haha
He said he will probably plan a trip to
Today before lunchtime the following conversation took place between my ex-colleague JC and I.
JC: “Kung Hee Fatt Choi”
Spinxie: Hey, you only know how to wish but where is my angpow?
JC: I’m not married what.
Spinxie: Got 4 kids already, still do not want to admit you are married!
JC: Hey, where got 4 kids? Do you know who I am?
Spinxie: Of course I know who you are. You are JC.
JC: How come you know it’s me? Anyway I am calling to ask you for Company X’s phone number.
Spinxie: Hey, you think I am a walking directory?
JC: I have been thinking for a long time where I could get that number from and only today I finally thought of you.
Spinxie: Yeah, me the walking directory. The number is xxxxxx.
JC: Hang on, let me save the number. Can you repeat it once again?
Spinxie: xxxxxx
JC: xxxxxx?
Spinxie: Yeah. Before you hang up the phone, can I ask where are you attached to right now?
JC: I am still with ______ _____. But I have resigned already.
Spinxie: Oh, starting your own company?
JC: Yeah. Small renovation company.
Spinxie: Oh, after what you had learnt in Company S, now you are starting your own company.
JC: Yeah learnt renovation from Company S, design work from Company XXX. I am starting a small company only but I need some advice from you.
Spinxie: Ok, shoot.
JC: Do I need to keep every document? How do I differentiate which documents to put into different files?
Spinxie: (advice given)
JC: When are you free so that I can see you to ask you some more questions? Can I call you again next month after I set up the company this month? Maybe we can go out for lunch or meet up on a Saturday.
Spinxie: if Saturday, then have to be afternoon cos I am working in the morning. Btw, my expertise is not cheap. When our ex-colleague FW asked me if I want to join his company, I told him unless he paid me double my current salary. And he said ok.
JC: What? You cut throat until like that?
Spinxie: Of course, afterall he’s a rich man’s son.
JC: Hey, but I am not. So please do not do that to me.
Spinxie: Why? You have a post for me in your company?
JC: Yeah.
Spinxie: But I am sure you know a lot of other friends who can help you.
JC: But I rather have you to help me.
Spinxie: See how first.
I do not mind extra income from doing part-time work for him. But I would not count on it. Afterall a lot of people like to make passing comment and do not mean it at all.
I am happy that he still remembers me though.
