today we went to see grandfather at TTSH, he said he is much better now but my dear thinks he has grew thin. we were there the earliest and left last. those others who came and then left in a while, don't know if they sincerely came to visit him. i think if he got loads of money, i think everyone will just rush in and visit him everyday.

after that we went to Novena Square II which is behind Novena Square. it's quite big and much nicer than Novena Square. we bought a ducky balloon for ah gal. everyone was so amused by the ducky and kids just wanna get their hands on the duck.


they got duck, cat, dog, t-rex, panda, etc. but ah gal simply liked the duck and named her "quacky". after that we went to central shopping mall at clarke quay. it's also another new shopping mall in town but lots of shops are still not opened yet. after spending some time at the central, we moved on to clarke quay and then to Liang Court to get a new fan at Audio House.


we took a rest at the mcdonald and donated $2 for the Shrek's ears. it's so cute on our little gal but she feels odd when people looked at her n smiled. we told her it's ok because people thinks that she is cute and not weird.

when nights fall, we went to a restaurant at Riverside Point for dinner. we ordered Hawaiian Pizza and Seafood Spaghetti. intially thought might not be enough to eat but when the food came, we almost could not finish them. my dear said their food is so delicious and i think so too.



i hope they enjoyed themselves today. cheers!!!

16 May 2007 - Contract Worker

today at about 1730hrs, i was asked to go into meeting room with manager. did not know what happened at first until i saw an envelope in his hands and made a wild guess. happened that my wild guess was right, the contract for us are ready and he was supposed to show me, talk me through and witness me sign the document. i really do not feel like signing because by signing, i am bonding for 2 years but there's no choices for now.

then before we signed, i was asked if there's any questions i need to clarify. i thought for a while and replied "no". then he told me if there's any problem with work, must let him know and discuss. i think he feels that i am keeping things to myself and am unhappy at work. i told him there's no problem at work after thinking for a while.

actually i might be a quiet worker but i will do what a boss wants without complains. i very "chin chye" one but some might think i "bo chap". it's just a thin line between "chin chye" and "bo chap", so people who do not know me well will think i "bo chap". no choice, i cannot please everyone, so i try to please the majority and do my best to reduce the unhappiness in the minority.

my ex-boss used to say that i do things quietly too, he could not have found out if not for my team leaders who shared with him. he told me to do things more obviously so that my boss will know i am working, sometimes you have to do this in order to prove your abilities but i guess i am not fit for this game.

last sat, i accompanied him to the hospital because no one was free to bring him there. i was thinking, if others are really busy with something, i got nothing to complain, what if the others was not willing to bring him there? i stayed with grandfather till about 1830hrs before i went home. even though grandfather have not settled down but i know he was about to before i could make myself go home. i was sick too that day and so had to leave before he could settle down. i told the guy when i was tested for fever that i was sick before accompanying grandfather into A&E, he said i cannot go in but no choice, i am the only one accompanying grandfather, he must let me in.

today went to see grandfather at the Tan Tock Seng Hospital. he was there the 2nd time because his arms and legs are weak and doctors fear that it might be stroke early symptom. i was very sad to see grandfather in this state because he was always so strong even though he is now 82 years old. i really fear for the worst and no one wants to take care of him.

he told me not to tell people that we are related because he wanted to apply for some subsidies or something like that, but they need to know that he does not have relatives that can support him financially. was sad to hear this but guess he is doing this for our good, he does not want to disturb us. wonder what my stupid father is doing now, maybe exploring?

2 days ago, i was told that i am selected to go to china for official duties but only today, i was told that my name was out of the list. do not know what are they doing, last minute asked me if i can go and told me to prepare to go on this coming saturday but now told me do not need to go. but if i am still going, not much details were given to me, do not know who is going together, going which place, do what, etc. i thought i could have 2 weeks of disturbed sleep if i go to china, looks like i do not have the luxury of resting.
