Annoying interruptions

I have had at least 8 interruptions in the last 30 minutes of working on the company IT Budget.

I will never get any work done with all this going on.

Sleep Working

Like always, she nods sleepily on the dinner table, 'doing her office work'.
I am talking about my wife.
 
I said to her, "Today I discover a new variant of sleep walking - its called Sleep Working".  She does it again later while reading the newspaper.
 
This morning, my tummy felt bad.
It must be the late, fast food dinner.
Fast food and instant noodles - I must stop these 2 types of dinner.
Late dinners (after 8pm) - I must make a long term effort to stop this unhealthy habit.
 
Got up slightly late. Tummy upset.
This spun me into a slightly foul mood this morning.
 
Must go back early today. But I want to pick my wife back from work - and that means going back early would be impossible.
 
Hmmm..

Xie xie ni

 
108 persons turned up for my 40 minutes presentation on Security this morning.
Quite a successful presentation, I must say. (Pat on my back). Just emailed my wife about it.
 
Now the HR system vendor is here to install the software.
I have to wait for them to finish their discussion first.
Discussions, discussions..
 
Last night after some discussion over dinner at home, I licked up the last morsel of food on my stainless steel plate, turned to my wife  and said "Xie xie ni". [Thank you]
She turned to me, smiled and said, "Wuo na dan lai (hor)..." (I'll bring you the bill ?).
 
 
 
 

I will hunt you down, easily, wherever you are

 
"I will hunt you down, easily, wherever you are,
because you are such an easy prey", said Faridah Merican.
 
"Hey ! Don't underestimate me, ok, for not every prey is easily hunted..
so... don't play play !", said I.
 
"I can hunt you down whenever I want, and
I can hunt you down even when I don't want to...", said her again.
 
"Cause even when I called another Jason, I called you too, accidentally", said Faridah Merican.
 
 
 

Monday Blues

Had Bak Kut Teh for dinner after movies last night. This morning breath smells of herbs.
 
Legs still sore from the short run yesterday morning... Arghhh.
 
And its only Monday ! Grrr...

The Moon represents my heart

Thank God its Friday...
 
Reached office slightly later than usual, albeit still before office hours. My wife, however, is ten minutes late for office. 
  
Thinking of Theresa Teng's song 'Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo Di Xin' (The moon represents my heart)..
 
"Why ? Is it because it is cold and coarse ?", my brother in law asked .
 
Well, looking at the world and our own space in our heart, I guess he is right.
 
Stay alive... hopefully i can watch a nice movie with my dear wife this Saturday.
 
God, I need You Always.

Yawn !

What a sleepy morning.

Internet was down for almost an hour today. When asked what really happened, the ISP guys said, "Our router hung". Reminds me of William Hung.

Today, my wife has to attend a client meeting. This means I am going back early and I am going to have an early dinner on my own.

It has been raining dogs and cats outside since noon and it's showing no signs that it will stop soon. I need to do some grocery shopping. Need fruits for prayers this Saturday.

Yawn !

Emergency Brakes

Had to slam on my emergency brakes this morning at the traffic lights.

The traffic lights were showing yellow, I was speeding to beat the lights.
An old lady crossed the road pushing her marketing cart, despite the red lights on the pedestrian crossing. Did not knock her down, also, fortunately no car was behind me.

My car radio cassette was playing the Hare Krishna maha mantra.
Hare Krishna !

False Alarm

Reduced dinner volume by about 30% last night. My wife asked me to eat more. I just shook my head and say 'No'.

Had a Milo (chocolate drink) concoction of 30% thick, hot Milo and 70% low fat, UHT milk before I went to sleep.

My wife woke me up an hour or so later.
"Dear , the alarm", she said.
Only then did I realise that the distant sound was the house alarm and not the alarm clock...

We scrambled down the stairs.
I checked the alarm while she sat on the chair. Don't know why the alarm went off.
Learned something new - the hash key "#" resets the alarm. Then it was back to sleep.

Goodnite, dear.

Tummy discomfort...

I seriously must give my stomach a rest.

I have been feeling bloated for weeks due to much eating. Ever since getting married to my wonderful wife, I have been overeating.

Breakfast - 20% more than before, including the extra 2 piece of bread I bring to the office.
Lunch - same as usual.
Dinner - 15-20% more due to our trying "not to keep leftover food". I know this is a very bad habit and I remind my wife not to cook more than we can eat, almost daily. (And also not to buy more than we can keep/eat.)
Supper/Snacking - Don't know why but I am getting this tendency to snack almost every night. I feel hungry even after I just had dinner. Must stop !

So much gas in the system I could take off like a rocket soon.
And tummy is uncomfortable.

Have taken 2 different types of pill :
- B&H capsule, a herbal concoction to prevent stomach discomfort by means of detoxification.
- Pil Chi-Kit Teck Aun after lunches to soothe the gaseous system.

It seemed to help.

But, I must, STOP this food excess. I am hesitant, but I know, that I must stop BEER too.

Burrp...

"It's people like you who degrade the entire human civilisation !"

I define arrogance generally as
"expressing subjective, personal opinion to others in intimidating manners",
"putting down of others' personal opinion",
"trying to air superiority in your subjective, personal opinion in public",

"Personal subjective opinions" is emphasized.
Some subject matters are more clearly defined while others are generally grey, hence are more likely to subject to personal opinion of the subject matter at hand.

Subjects like
"What car should you drive",
"It is time you replace your car now"
are subjected to personal subjective opinions.

Hence, expressions like
"You should be driving a better car ! I make it a point to replace my car every 3 years"
are clearly arrogant remarks.

I have a colleague who talks like this.

Sometimes, it can be very irritating.

Maybe one day I should say to him
"It's people like you who degrade the entire human civilisation !".

Cheers !

Thank you, dear.

Everyone is sensitive to different things. I am sensitive to certain things as well.

For example,
I am very sensitive to negative comments on things I have worked hard for, especially if the comment came from persons very close to me.

When I work hard for my wife, the least I can expect is a 'Thank you, dear' from her. But sometimes, I get rejections from her.She said to me the other day "Maybe you don't have to send me back from work next time since ... (whole list of reasons)". It would be nice to receive praises for things you do for others, but this should not apply to a relation ship between you and your spouse as whatever you do for her should rightfully be in the spirit of a long term commitment. So, saying "Thank you, dear" to her everytime she does the laundry is, in my opinion, not in the spirit of long-term commitment. Of course, that does not stop you from saying "Thank you, dearest" to her every now and then.

I often feel rejected and dejected whenever my wife tries to 'find excuses for me' to avoid doing something for her. Imagine, you want to do something for her with the objective of pleasing her. But she tells you that you that don't have to do this next time. No appreciation, just rejection.

That kind of thing hurts me.

I believe in communication. I tell her how I feel. Hopefully it will correct both our attitudes for the better over time.

Have a good day !

Eat your rice

Don't hate life
Just eat your rice
Lies lies lies
Many of em lie
Eat your rice

Lies Lies Lies lies
More than your rice
A mountain heap of rice
Cannot be compared to a lie
So eat your rice
