Thursday was elder sister's birthday. Happy birthday to you and may your soul be blessed for eternity! Love ya lots..Muackies. (I am straight hor and dun walk crooked road..muahaha)

On that similar day, I took leave from work and thought I could enjoy a day of retreat from the hassle and bustle of life. Once I woke up, Jasper left me with a missed call..and my sixth sense told me something was amiss. So I sms him " You didn't tap my card hor." (My company has this policy of tapping our card to record our clock in and clock out from work every day). Then Jasper sms me back " Call me la."

My heart went through a sudden tremour of shock.

Jasper: ExxonMobil had an serious explosion leh..and there are people dead

Me: Huh, is it very serious and are KW, SQ they all fine (my thoughts ran wild)

Jasper: Hmm..i sms them and they are fine. You sms them again ba.

Me: Oh, ok.

Jasper (with a long pause): Eh...i tapped your card this morning.

Me: But I am not working today ma. Then how, my supervisor will sure ask me to explain about my attendance today.

Jasper: But I tap your card out again a few minutes later. You just tell him that you dunno who tapped your card lo.

Me: Huh, okie. But I did remind you many times that I will not be going to work today.

Jasper: Aiya, my memory is poor and I am not good with numbers..you see.

Me: Oh ya hor, is alrite.

On that similar night after I settled all my family matters and was back home, I received another sms from him again " Call me if you're free." Sighz, how many times must I call him and I am 100% sure that it's not something good either. I reluctantly called him and was wondering why must I received so many unexpected new at one shot.

Jasper: Tell you something, you don't be sad k.

I feel like hanging the phone immediately...

Me: What? Tell me lo.

Jasper: There are people in our company who are saying that this batch of NP students' performance are not as good as the previous batch.

Me: Who told you?

Jasper: Eric they all lo.

I have done and tried my best in work and so does Jasper. So lets take this as a feedback from them and continued to work harder. My rice bowl does not depends on them and I will listen to dad's advice for once: Don't take life too seriously and don't choose to let such rumours or news ruin your goals in life. 你要快乐的追求人生而不是追求快乐的人生. Thanks a lot for your advice.

There are plenty of rumours in office lately and rumours are really POISONOUS and TOXIC. A large lethal dosage of rumours is harmful for health if you choose to believe and worry over them. People are saying that San Duo Hua (Three Flowers) are resigning soon from my lab. Initially, they said it was middle of this year but later it soon became either end of this month or 2 months from now. At first I choose not to believe but after seeing the "political upheaval" in the lab and workers being assigning new tasks..how can I choose not to believe?

The absence of San Duo Hua in the lab means great changes, some negative and some positive. The uncles mentioned casually to me that my workload will perhaps be heavier. But that really depends on whether my boss or the San Duo Hua is willing to teach me new tasks since I'm not a permanent worker there. I am kinda worry cuz if my workload is reduced further, it will affect my reports. But if it means the opposite, then it would mean better prospectives.

Recently being watching the TVB Drama " Under the Canopy of Love" and it's superb drama that touches on family ties, friendship, office politics and how fate and destiny can bring about romance. The theme song is great so wanna share it with all of you. Haha.
