My parents have a quirky sense of humour. Drove home one night last week to find this.
My dad said it’s to let me know when to stop the car. I told him, “Aiyoh. I’ve been driving and parking at that spot for the past 6 years. If i was going to crash into the living room, i would’ve crashed it long time ago.”
Sigh.
P.S. In case u’re wondering, the sign that Ronald McDonald is holding says “Gong Xi Fa Cai”. *Rolls eyes*

Forgot to add… my car kena scratched by some moron who must’ve had farking lousy parking skills. The carpark lots at Blk 248 Simei are so damn big. But this stupid moron can still manage to leave a long scratch along the driver’s door. What kind of stupid asshole is this man? Cars have reverse sensors nowadays leh! Wah piang! I could even tell it was a silver car that scratched mine ‘cos there was paint from the culprit’s vehicle left dangling off my car door lor! ASSHOLE!
Not only is this Easter weekend, it is also the first weekend of the Qingming Festival. Finally made it down to visit my grandma’s grave at Lim Chu Kang. Didn’t manage to go the past 2 years ‘cos of various reasons.
Crawled out of bed at 5:20am this morning… but didn’t complain. Somehow i felt it was my duty to be on time even though i was never close to this grandmother. (This is my paternal grandma). Was closer to my maternal grandparents when they were alive. (Never met my paternal grandfather ‘cos he passed away when my dad was a kid).
Took some photos… i was quite amazed by the rows and rows of gravestones.
Oh and in case anyone’s wondering… i didn’t offer joss-sticks though most of my relatives did. Would have written about why i don’t want to hold joss-sticks now but i’m sleepy, have a few posts that i wanna post, and there’s nasi briyani waiting for me downstairs…
The rows and rows of tombstones.
Cleaning up my grandma’s plot. (She’s the oldest amongst all her neighbours… born 1913, departed 2002).
Everything’s nicely decked out, and we left.
BTW, the lease for these plots are all 15-year lease. Sigh. Freehold is rare in SG. Whether for the dead or living.
HD: Is your client a loser?
Me: Of ‘cos not.
HD: What kind of name is _ _ _ _ _ ?! Lousy name.
Me: What’s wrong with the name _ _ _ _ _? I like the name. It sounds nice what. Better than D_ _ _ _ lor. So common. I have 3 D_ _ _ _s in my address book man!
HD: Ya. But there’s only 1 HD!
Me: So? HD also stands for Happy D_ _ _ _ what. What’s the diff?
HD: That’s true. Hmm… Happy D_ _ _ _ and Canto Gal.
Me: Yeah yeah.
My goodness! My boss just called to see if i got home ok last night, and asked what happened after he left. He DOESN’T remember leaving… everything is hazy for him. HAHA. Asked if he said bye to our client and me b4 he left. Hahaha. Goodness… if anything adverse did happen to me… i think… after the lapse of 12 hours… i would’ve been quite dead ya? *Rolls eyes*.
Reading the blogs of some of my friends who’re working overseas now. (Wait… it would be more precise to say they’re all in China!) It’s funny but i sort of miss them and i wonder how’s life like in a different environment, different culture, etc. Glad they’ve posted lots of pictures on their blog. 🙂
I shall attempt to visit a new country every year! I wanna leave my footprints all over the world!
Sigh. Friendless today. My BFK Azure, is meeting some of her ex-colleagues, sayang Iceman is in Shanghai, HD is don’t know where, Buddy is most probably basking in his newfound love so that leaves me with my blog.
Which isn’t a bad thing since i had a crazy night yesterday. Totally made up for my (in HD’s words) domestication the past few weeks. Had drinks with my boss and colleagues at Boat Quay, then at Eon Canteen, then Balaclava, where my big boss, his wife, 2 nieces, and even my client joined us.
Saw Dentine and YY at Bala but didn’t have time to talk to them much except for a cursory “Hello, how are you? Heard you joined Miss Universe Singapore?†and “How much does a tooth implant cost?†(Ans: about $3.5k).
Went for coffee (actually we had earl grey tea…) with my client at Pan Pac Hotel after. Hope this doesn’t spark off any scandal ‘cos my boss loves to have me associated with single guys. Sigh.
Thought of going shopping today… want to buy some shorts that i can wear in Ho Chi Minh… and some dresses that i can wear to work. But am feeling REALLY sleepy now. Not forgetting that i didn’t collect my car from Simei last night (Client sent me home. 😛 Said he couldn’t answer to my boss if anything happened to me. I would’ve turned down the offer usually since he stays damn far – Bkt Panjang! But at 4am… ok lah. Decided one cannot be “gey kiang†all the time.
Sigh… what should i do now? Take a nap? Collect my car? Go shopping?

Forgot to add… my fave cousin AKKK was at Bala with his friends too. Haha. I was hopping between tables as usual… something which i love doing. Classic ADD behaviour! 😛
Had relative fun today. Was a stressful day at work… which affected my mood a little when i met HD at 7pm. Was so busy i didn’t even manage to make it for FJ break with HD. Had dinner at some duck rice place at Pasir Panjang… then went Cold Storage to buy snacks, then on to birdland for Sin City.
HD dropped me home after that ‘cos he was on his way to the airport to pick up some friends coming from HK. On the way to my place, HD said that Mr. T sms’d him earlier to ask which gal he was taking to birdland. HD said he told Mr. T it was me. My immediate response was, “Whope! the scandal deepens!â€
Called HD after i got home to keep him company while he waited for his friends a the airport. I was joking about how i have many friends whereas he only has OFCG (Only Friend CG) and that i didn’t lunch with him the past 2 days ‘cos i was “spreading my love aroundâ€. HD said i cannot do that… ‘cos he wants all my love. Pui! I said, “Wah! getting territorial uh?â€. And he said yes, he was. That’s it lah. Let the scandal fester man.
During our department meeting today, i got allocated all new biz that Banker was supposed to be doing… with the exception of 1 or 2 rather dormant deals that my boss said we could leave for the next person who joins us to do. As i was taking the minutes for the meeting, i looked at my boss and said, “So what do you want me to put down in the minutes? TBA? As in To Be Arrowed?”
My boss laughed.
Such is the class of humour i’ve been inundated with lately…
Last Tuesday night. Was complaining to HD about having to call an underwriter in Bermuda to discuss something. HD then said, “route another guy in and u’ll get a bermuda triangle…”
Lunch with HD on last Wednesday. He suan-ed me about something and i glared at him and jabbed violently at this french fry on my plate. HD then said, “Hey, hey, hey. Don’t take it out on him. He’s just a *pauses for effect* small fry.”
Coffee break on Friday. We were talking about movies and i said i loved movies starring Hugh Grant and HD said, “to err is Hugh-man, to forgive is Divine”. (Though i vaguely recall this joke being circulated before.)
Sigh.
It’s 12:42am and i just finished doing up the stupid minutes from our last meeting ‘cos i need to table them before our next meeting which is on Thursday. Argh. Now i know why Banker has been so slack in his work – he probably planned to resign from the company eons ago and hence he just dragged his feet over everything and now WE have to cover his duties. Asshole.
Not only did he NOT do his scope of work, he had to go piss off 2 underwriters as well… as of 7:20pm this evening when i was about to leave the office, my big boss was explaining matters and mending fences with 1 insurer… and my boss showed me a email complaint that just came in from another underwriter. (Ok… this latter u/wer is the bitch that i had the cross of words over email before… but in this case, Banker was the one at fault… so we can’t slam her back even if we wanted to. Bleah!)
Argh. Tired. Sleepy. 🙁 Oh well… tomorrow another day. Another day another destiny? This never ending road to Calvary? Sigh. At least there’s Sin City at birdland to look forward to! Yay!!
🙂 Sigh. Sweet dreams people.
