I had a very tired Tuesday today. Had some event at another place and headed back office after lunch. I have also expected to receive many emails and indeed, quite a number of emails received when I was away.
Feeling bit breathless today at work but still able to manage. I guess I am still tired. Haha. Have uploaded some pictures in my FB which was taken by my handphone and hopefully by Sunday can upload even mores in both FB and Picasa which was taken by my dearest. Hehe.
Hmmm tomorrow is another busy day as the actual event starts.

The tour journey begins:

2nd day - Dali (Regent Hotel Dali)
3rd and 4th day - Lijiang (Sightseeing Hotel Lijiang)
5th and 6th day - Shangri-la (Sightseeing Hotel Diqing)

8th day - Kunming
And back to Singapore on that 8th day night.
They have different culture, different tribe, foods and even environment. Will upload some pics up once they are tidied up. Hehe.

Saturday blues?
I guess I am having Saturday blues. Haha feeling kind of frustrated over some things at home. Haiz.
It is raining outside now, hoping it will rain even longer. The past few days, weather wasn't really good. Hmmmm. Work have been relatively alright. Sleepiness at night wasn't quite good because for no reason I have been waking on and off at night. And resulted into sleepiness and tiredness in the day.
Just finish washing my bedsheets, jacket and bag. Hehe... Having a short rest now before I continue to do some of my blog and web stuffs. =)

Mr Pig's Story
One day, there was a pig who possess many capabilities.
It will wake up every morning and "cook-coo-ru-kooo" like a rooster and wake its owner up.
It will go and catch those mice that eat the cheese and the cat standing at the side looking upon, feeling lucky that the cat was not the mice.
The pig knows how to manage a heap of sheeps.
Other animals will ask the pig why it was so kapo. The pig replied "why are you all so stupid? In this culture, you must have more capabilities if not how to survive!"
But one day, the owner catch hold of the pig and plan to kill it.
The pig unbelieving asked the owner "I have so many capabilities, help you do so many things but you do you still want to kill me?"
The owner then replied "no choice, I only want to eat pork chop."
Mr Pig says "It is all up to the boss on what you should become and not what you should do."
Mr pig - When boss make mistake, who to bear?
One day, the owner told the the pig: "Tonight I got dinner event, go and prepare some biscuits."
The fat pig work very hard and start making biscuits.
The owner says to the pig: "The fire is so small, how long do you need to bake? Switch the fire bigger." The pig replied:" If the fire too big, will be easily burnt." The owner scolded the pig: "What does your pig brain knows about. I say what means what, you just have to follow then you are correct."
In the end, the biscuits are burnt.
The pig is worrying what to do is the best way.
The pig is shivering with fear to be ended up for that night's dinner.
Mr Pig says: "Whatever it is, bosses are always not in the wrong. Even if they are wrong, you will be the one who will bear the fault.

Save, save and save
As usual, the weather is still so hot today despite having quite a heavy rain this afternoon.
Suddenly I have this thought in my mind. SAVE. Hehe... Don't ask me why, but I just have a sudden thought of it only. Hehe. Feeling sleepy now but unable to sleep.
Today breakfast was quite simple home cooked and dinner was from yesterday dinner's beehoon and BBQ chicken wing. Save quite a bit today as compare to previous Sunday. Hehe. Feeling happy as well as glad. Tomorrow is Monday, meaning another weekend is here. Hmmm...
Y is on leave tomorrow, meaning area near me will be quiet, because Uncle Pung not in also and Y on off-in-lieu... Ooohhh... Might be trying to sleep later on after reading some email and doing blogging. Saw a newspaper article today on those freelance models having blog of their own. Wow... pop in to have a look and first thing came into my mind is - WOW, like so business-run-company's website. So colourful, so many ads, etc. Some of their blogsites, looks messy. Hehe.
Anyway, blogging is a way of a online diary where you can update your whereabouts to your relatives and friends. It is a good way of communicating with close friends too. Everyone is busy in this society and not everyone are able to meet up so frequently, hence I seriously feel that Blog is one of a way that everyone can view each other whereabouts and keep each other updated on their lifes. But of course, online diary meaning personal details might or might not disclose and it is all up to individual to reveal or not to reveal. Afterall, internet is a very common thing now where all office and homes will have access to it.

SSSaturday
Today weather is as usual, so hot and stuffing. Went to Jack Place and utilise my voucher. Hehe feeling happy to eat Ribeye. That is part of my favourite food as well. Haha.
Yesterday, finally the gift for Uncle is here. I was quite pleased with the actual in the end. Indeed Noel Gifts is a nice and worth to buy. You can customise, ask for quote and re-quote. They will cater to all your requirements. I just need to describe to them who is the intended recipient and TA-DA.... they quote you with some range and prices.
This uncle was a nice and friendly collegue. He is of the same age as my dad. Whenever I see him, he reminds me of my dad. He looks a little like my dad but he is more funnier and high tech as compare with my dad. From the first day I see him, first thing comes into my mind is --> My dad. No reason why.. but just the feeling of it. Hehe. He is clearing his leave and next Fri is his last day.
All the best Uncle Pung. I guess everyone of us surrounding us will miss your jokes. We are all happy to know you. We will still be in the same sector hence, do keep in contact ya. Hehe. =)

Tired week
I am feeling kind of tired this week. Many urgent matters to clear this few days and quite a number of work to clear. I guess I was too busy to notice the time for lunch and going home time. Time flew very fast for me this week.
Someone "feedback" to me that I seldom blog lately. Hmmm... =p
AGAIN today I had a very terrible bus ride. The bus driver drove the bus bit funny, causing the bus keep on jamming brake and the bus was so packed and smelly. ~yucks~
Past few nights was so hard to sleep. Kept waking up in the middle of the night quite a number of times. Hmmm... Lately weather was so hot as well. I think this will result into easily getting unwell because of the weather. Planning to sleep soon already after reading my emails. Zzzz
