ITS LUNAR NEW YEAR!

Hurray! Its the Lunar New Year again.... time of the year to have the biggest excuse to binge on goodies, have more shopping treats and collect more red packets! Wahoooooo..... but truth be told, ur value decreases with age. Keke. Yes its true. If you're still single and not married by the age of 30, some can forget about getting red packets. That's sad. Ha.

Anyway, thats just the bait to get us to do house visiting. At the same time, I am also looking forward to gatherings of relatives of whom we seldom get to meet (and convict ourselves to hours of "interrogation") - like do you have a bf? when r u getting married? duh. like our lives do not get any more interesting than that. :P it gets boring when you get 10 similar qns like tt in a day, i reckon it will be better if our answers were being recorded as well so we can play it over and over again.... heheh.

Well, thats it for me during the next few days. More visiting and binging... and hopefully more angbaos. Cheerz!

congratulations? MY ARSE!


Dear colleagues

I am pleased and proud to announce the promotion of XXX to the position of Project Director (LS Events).

For the last few months, XX has more than held fort for this position and has grown to be the asset we need to spearhead and bring the LS events to further heights. Do join me in congratulating her on her appointment.

Regards
Chief Executive


^^ words like "asset" and "spearhead and bring the LS events to further heights" - overstatement. earlier on during the day, this news was being mentioned at one of the meetings... but after it was being said, it was pure total sweet silence... HAHAHAH. imagine that! no one even said a word of congrats or gave an indication tt it's a piece of happy news. but think we care? No, we don't give a shit.

Its a brand new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone out there!

Another year just wheezed past like that... another yr older and hopefully wiser too... keke =P

Guess what?! Our office has decided to put an end to IM in the office, no MSN, yahoo, ICQ or wadevers not... "WOH GNIROB!" [read it backwards ;)] hehehe... kinda attracted to this trick from Cecilia Ahern's new book - "If you could see me now". another brillant works of hers... truly enjoy reading it... not the kind that guys will fancy (not that they read anyway, though I happen to noe one and tts my baby hee)... but definitely this is a must-read for ladies. Nice!

From the internationally bestselling author of PS, I LOVE YOU, a lively and romantic novel about two lost souls who find each other in the most unexpected way. Everything in Elizabeth Egan?s life has its place, from the espresso cups in her gleaming kitchen to the swatches and paint pots of her interior design business. Order and precision keep life under control?and keep Elizabeth?s heart from the pain and hurt she has suffered in the past. Being a reluctant mother to her six-year-old nephew while trying to keep her business on track is a full-time job for Elizabeth, and one that leaves little room for error?or fun.

Until, one day, Ivan unexpectedly comes into their lives. The mysterious Ivan is carefree, spontaneous and always looking for adventure?everything that Elizabeth is not. If You Could See Me Now is the extraordinary tale of Ivan and Elizabeth. Of how Ivan meets the love of his life before she even sees him, and how he teaches her that life is only worth living when it's blindingly colourful and the occasional mess. Yet just when Elizabeth is starting to trust him, it turns out that Ivan isn't at all who she thought he was.Playful and at times intensely moving, this is a novel about how seeing isn't always believing. Full of Cecelia Ahern?s trademark warmth and poignancy, If You Could See Me Now is a story of enormous heart--and just a little bit of magic.

OK, i kind of side tracked there... well ya as i was saying our office have blocked all IM programs... well i guess this is kinda like the last resort as they have already sent out multiple warnings which have fell on deaf ears... and now we'll have to once again use email as the only form of communication for our gossip sessions (if any). did i mention we're quite devastated? lol.

alright... gotta get back to work now... more to come in the months ahead but well wth... bring it on... guess will just have to handle the shit one at a time... anyway whats new right? we can already foresee more shit, more work, more miscommunications, and more shift-blaming... so if there's a course out there on "how to save your own ass effectively"... pls sign me up. i'll be more than willing to take it on. ha.
