It took me a while to actually sit down and write this small chunk of words.
On 23 Nov 09, my uncle passed away. He was at home when he collapsed. Attempts to resuscitate him were to no avail. Went down to the morgue later that night and the thing is that, lying on the metal table, cold and motionless, my uncle looked exactly like my late grandfather.
I don't think I can continue writing now. Will be going to the funeral/wake after my facial appointment.

On the bright side, this time's appraisal was much better. It's probably due to the new building manager, Ernest. Although he might be just in for a month, but at least he does know what I've been doing.
Looking good....

You would've thought that with a staff strength of less then 20 people, a management office would've been a nice place to work with. It's just two of us girls and the rest guys, and the thing is, the whole place is even more complicated than 'America's Next Top Model'.
It might've been due to the fact that most of the staff are old and/or stubborn, but still...would it be too much to expect some maturity?

- okay
I'm flattered that Eric remembers my birthday. It was kind of nice to have gotten a message with best wishes from him out of the blue and after so many months of not hearing from him.
Although it would've been better if he were to stop tagging the word 'dear' after every sentence.
- mom's condition

stressed
Doc says Mom is suffering from a case of kidney infection, brought around by not drinking plenty of water. The thing is that he can't say for sure what kind of infection it is.
Currently, we're waiting for the results of the urine test done today, the information will be made available to us three days later.
I'm now wondering if her condition had anything to do with the first batch of drugs that was prescribed by the doctor from SGH. He did mention that there were going to be some side effects, but as to what kind of side effects, it remains to be seen.
I know that there are side effects to every kind of medication, but still, I just can't shake off the fact that Mom's being used like a test subject, like on a trial-and-error experiment with different kind of drugs to combat her rheumatism arthritis.
I feel so utterly WTF and Goddammit...
I noticed that lot of things had been happening to me lately, it leaves me to wonder, am I not allowed to be happy even on my birthday month?
ETA :Got Mom's test results. It turns out that her kidney condition stamped from a case of urinary tract infection left untreated, which lead to her sudden spike of fever. How she'd managed to endure the pain and let things escalate before seeing a doctor is beyond me. She's currently on antibiotics for her condition - which is a relief.

weird
The Roman Polanski story. It looks like more and more celebrities are joining in the protest to free him.
I wonder if these people are even aware of what they are actually protesting about. Would they have still done it if they had read about what really happened? Would they have protested so strongly if it happened to someone in their family? Or perhaps it meant that by supporting and thus freeing this man, they might have chance to a starring role in his future works?Taking away all the hoo-ha and news surrounding the whole thing. The bottom line is, in 1977 this man pleaded guilty to drugging and raping a 13 year old girl. And he being arrested for his crimes is not something which should be protested against.
Perhaps in

- amused
Ever come across those people who would go on and on at a mile a minute about a particular subject and still ended up saying nothing at all?
Got a call from Reggie from the procurement department - let's see, during the 15 minute conversation with him, I've managed to picked up on the words 'uniform', 'Lee', 'is he from security?' and 'link' - before totally blanking out.
The thing is, before calling me, dude called my other colleague from another department, asked her for her name, twice, and then asked her if I'm around. But not before talking about something else entirely.
My poor colleague to suffer through like 20 minutes worth of nothingness before redirecting him to me. Even his ending speech to her took about like 5 minutes.
I would've find him amusing if I weren't that sick this morning. Gotta love these folks from HQ.

I've always known my father to be a miser. But to have that fact rubbed in my face over the last few days? Well, it serves me right for hoping that he'll be a better man with age.
As at to-date : 20 May 09 : I finally realized that there is no hope for the matter to take a positive turn. The man that I thought I knew is gone.

Great.
I've forgotten the password to my webmail service. Hoo-boy...
Have decide to shelf it to one side and go watch some DVDs - namely Bolt and Changeling.
Argh. Turns out that I shouldn't have watched Bolt first then Changeling. The latter is rather sad and disturbing and I've got no happy shows to cheer me up.

It's getting warmer and warmer over here.
My air-conditioner's down as it's blowing copious amount of hot air and it looks like the fan is my only hope.

Just learned that the property manager had put up a complaint to the area manager. It's about me not topping up the drinks in the fridge.
*is speechless*
I have a junior sec. - obviously she's not helping.
Obviously the property manager needs a kick in the balls.

shopping list 100% completed
The trip to 2 day 1 night trip to Melaka (or was it known as Malacca?) was short but eventful. Was sorry Linda couldn't join us since she had to accompany her mom-in-law to China.
All in all, we managed to get most of the stuff in our shopping lists - which consists of salted fish, dried prawns, nonya slippers and kebayas...
Note to self : Never ever wear bermudas unless you wanna feed the mosquitoes in that area.

Had a meeting with GC and ASY concerning my goals for Yr 2009.
And there we have a classic case of WW taking advantage of the fact of the economic slowdown to dump more work on us.
The whole meeting had been a joke. Was hard pressed not to shake my head and start sniggering.

I suppose this might be rather late...some relatives are visiting, so I haven't been able to go online.
Here's wishing everyone a very happy new year, may your resolutions be met with success and your wishes come true!

Am back from our building's tenants' year end party.
It was a combination of three buildings, which made the whole place, aka our main lobby extremely crowded and noisy, as well as being hot and stuffy. The food ran out by the end of the first hour due to marketing's miscalculation of the no. of people, and we had quite a number of partially drunk and happy tenants.
I wouldn't say the whole affair was a failure, since there were the 'some drunk and happy tenants' but the still the whole thing could've better if there were some serious/proper planning done.
I'm just glad to be home at last on a Friday night.
