Thrifty Lifestyle

Early of the year, I have realized the raise in price of lots of daily stuffs. I have try to control my spending. I spend less in my skin care and hair care, I stop the health supplementary, I seldom back to hometown, I back home once a month now. Mum will call up and urge me back. :s Driving back is very costly. :( Erm.. Maybe this is only an excuse, I don't like to go back home, there is chaos in my house, I can not stay there in peace and have a quite day. (although not really quite in PG either, but better than my hometown.) I cut the budget for cloths. Normally only go for window shopping in the mall.

After the fuel price hike, the situation getting worse. If I drive in the morning, I will not turn on the air-cond. I not dare to press the fuel pedal too hard, I let the car pickup the momentum slowly, I become more patient. I consume less food, erm.. good for me, can on diet and slim down. hee.. Less meat and less rice in my diet. I reduce the usage of plastic bag. I bring my own container when I packs the food from hawker. I use a recyclable shopping bag.

One thing that I will not hesitate to spend on... traveling :D Well, at least that is happiness that can be bought using money. hahaha.. ;)

There is another way to pass the time, an easier and cheaper way... I hang on the web more often. Soon or later, I will become spider-woman. :P

Waiting for Specialist

I had a follow up medical check up of my thyroid symptom. The blood report is good. :) Previous visit to the hospital, I had spent 5 hours there for doctor consultation. This time break the record, 6 hours!!! I was in the hospital at 7.30am. The registration was started at 7am, I thought I was pretty earlier, but after I got my number, the registrar told me, my estimated time of consultation was 11:55am... oh no, have to wait so long... again???!!! Sigh... I went to their cafeteria to have breakfast. They serve vegetarian food only. I had porridge and soya bean milk, light breakfast, so that I won't fill too stuffy when sit and waiting. Read newspaper to pass my time. Buddy called me at 10.30am... haha.. just about time, I was so bored, we went for Lor Mee at Burmah Road, inside Kedai Kopi Hai Beng . The serving was fast, within 3 minutes after order. :P Or maybe at that moment, not many customer. Buddy was very tempted to try this Lor Mee few weeks ago, finally we had it. You can...

Weakening

Why I always have endless tasks on hands? One haven't done, boss assigned another one. And the next day, assigned a new task again, seems like he forgot I still have non completed assignment. :( Oh ya hor.. He recalled, "never mind, that one can wait, do this first." Oh oh.. I hate that excuse. Wait wait wait... eventually, I need to complete them somehow. The longer the time, the more tasks accumulate. He never consider how many effort I needed to complete the task, always think I can do magic, all task can be completed by fingers click. I extended my working hours, try to complete the assignment by the end of the day. Everyday, I will have to deal with many unexpected issues, if I do not solve them within a day, the next day might have new issues, and next and next.... arghhhhh.... headache.... I am so tired, I feel so weak, mentally and emotionally weak. Recently, people around me keep on telling me that I look so pale. I think I really look terrible. I know...

太委屈

工作受委屈了,心情低落到谷底。在办公室强忍着泪水,把手头上的案子都处理好后,已经快九点钟了。开着车,终于崩溃了,一路哭着回家,一直哭到深夜。没好睡,隔天起身,心情还无法平复。回老家的路上,泪水还是断断续续的。 一朝得志,就忘恩忘本。上司曾经走过我现在这个阶段的路,但他似乎已经忘了这工作程序,竟然质疑我的能力,认为我不尽责。火爆了,别人可能不了解,但他是过来人,竟然不了解我的工作制度!!! 我不知道我还可以撑多久。。。 回老家,有家人在身边,感觉好多了。虽然,我不会对父母提起工作的委屈,但,有家人在身边,我不会觉得孤独。
