the good and bad of life

life has been good and bad recently. lets start with the bad part first.

my delivery cocked up today. i was withy johnny at scdf doing a presentation and i have already prepared my documents and passed to sy already, telling her which are the boxes for delivery. and this morning wen mike came, they cant find the key to unlock the back door. mike waited for about 30 mins , buay tahan and went off. he called yvonne to complain that sy and hynta very blur. when he told them theres no key to open the back door, they jus stared at him blankly. they only called yvonne when mike asked them to call. i dunno lah. but im starting to get irritated with sy already. hynta is a student, she blur, i can understand. but she is a staff, even if she blur, she also have to act steady mah. how can u blur with the student? there needs to be a line of diff between staff or student right, no matter how new you are. if u are blur, then the student lagi more blur right? den the more DL thing is that when i got back to office, hynta come and tell me actually she is holding thte back door key all the while but she forgot. wah lau. so i otld her: u were here for 3 mths and only till the last 3 days then u kno u were holding the back door key. and when i called mike later, he was CP-ing to me over the phone, this and that. and i LL have to let him CP cause its indeed our fault.

matt has been not in too good shape too lately. he is in his "grumpy and easily flare up" mood. the mood i most feared, though over the years i kno more or less how to handle him when he is in this mood. i know what to do to avoid the bombs and explosions and ammunituions. but a sometimes still will kana little scratches. sigh, what to do, he has tahan my mood swings and pms. so i should do my part on his mood swings too.

my cough is getting form bad to worse. my voice has become like an ah gua. and as if that is not enuff, now block nose joins the club too. so everynight, i can sleep soundly cause i have problem breathing smoothly.

begining to feel irritated with my momo too. matt and i knocked off at 8 yesterday and he rode to sscc, while i rushed a cab down. the meeting starts at 8 and we reached at around 8.30. and the 1st thing momo must say is: u all come to chant for 5 mins only ah. wah lau. i kno we are late but we already rushed down. and we are late because we are working, not because we go jalan jalan or what. cant she appreciate our efforts rushing down? and then later i asked her to join me at the kpt opp sscc cause i havent eat dinner and matt is going home straight on bike, so he os not sending me home. so aft i ate, we can go home together. and she kept insisting that i buy mac back to eat. and there was her friend, who kept saying why dun i go 85 to eat. wah lau, i jus wanna have a quick dinner nearby so that matt can keep me company and then go home. like that also cannot? why they wanna bother what i wat. cant i even decide where i eat? sometimes i cannot stand these aunties. really gets on my nerves, and on matts nerves as well. and he is already not i good mood.

enough abt the bad things. heres some better things. lets start with nicholas wedding dinner.

initially i plan to knock off early so that i can meet up with matt early. at ard 6, i called matt and he told me no need to come down so early, to take my own sweet time. and so i took my own sweet time. i did my make up and everything in office and i left office by 7.45. by the time i reached, its about 8 liao. i looked around for matt and i saw him. almost couldnt recognise him!! he was wearing coat, pants, with a black shirt and black tie. 1st time i see my dear dear so smart sial. so dear dear brought me to greet his parents and to all his other relatives. his father and mother side aunties and uncles and cousins. after the show around, matt was called to the ball room cause there was some cock up in the sitting arrangements. so i was left alone at the lobby. matt asked me if i wanted to sit at the table 1st. we were sitting at the VIP table and the table was empty. it would be so weird if i sat alon at the table. so i chose to sit at the lobby, sms-ing power and trying to keep awake. i was damn tired. aft a while, i decided to go to the toilet. at least i can dool myself a little. by the time i was done in the toilet, matt was free too and so he came to find me and we went to the table together. matt was saying that his mum was looking for me, saying how can matt leave me alone. haha. by the time we reached the table, they were all seated. seated on our table were: me, matt, his mum, dad, ah mah, 1st and 2nd aunty, ah hong and of course, the bride and groom. i sat beside his dad. abit hum sial. haha. after awhile, the dinner started. i was damn hungry by then. one good thing abt sitting at the VIP table is that we are served first and the waitress will serve us individually. so everybody gets a fair portion. and we are served a bigger portion cause the bride and the groom are not eating. matt kept me company throughout the dinner. his mum says he dun need to go entertain the guest so that he can keep me company. haha. and then everybody starts asking us: so when is your turn huh?? ur brother already get married. u also not youngh anymore. cant understand why everybody like to ask this question. anyway, the dinner was not as bad as i thought. i talked to matt, joke with ah hong and talked to his parents and aunties. i even tah with the bride sial. and she even called me da sao. haha. i felt so old sial. i think we can get along well. after the dinner, matt went to shake hands with the guest and i stayed behind, busy drinking. haha. i drank red wine and beer. the red wine was damn nice sial. i usually dun like red wine. but that red wine is good. no wonder the whole 2 boxes of red wine all gone. after the whole thing, we took some pictures and matts parents send me back.

took leave on tues and went to matts parents place to look for him. he wanted to show me the uncensored version of hollow man and to my dissapointment, theres nothing much. aft that, we stayed to chat with this mum and dad for awhile before we went bugis. we were shopping around and i saw pple from mediacorp news. there was the news anchor on channel 8 and a camera man. they were at bugis junction shopping centre. haha. matt says quickly siam and so we went to the 2nd floor. matt wanted to look for cargo pants and he said go giordano. so we took the escalator down and as we were approaching the ground floor, i can already see some promoters walking towards us. so i told matt to be prepared for the promoters and i was wrong. turns out they were students from SP and they wanted to do a survey on the scent that they have created. matt and i forgot all about the camera till they said they needed to interview a couple on camera and matt was telling them no and was about to walk off when out of nowhere a camera was right infront of our face and the reporter was right infront of us. so she asked us some questions and i started mumbling in my ah gua voice. i was excited that we would apprear in the news but we didnt. must be my ah gua voice. haha. aft that, we went to catch the movie, torque which i dun really fance. it wasnt my type of movie. i prefer movies with storylines. after the show, we went to meet power for dinner. we had dinner at dan ryans. the food there was good and the serving was huge. i didnt manage to finish my food and my stomache was about to burst already.
