You have the right to remain silent.

Why do things always happen during & after Parties? Is it because of the excessive eating & drinking? Last weekend we were invited to a house warming party by one of the senior staff. Big beautiful landed property & lots of food & drinks. I enjoy myself.

As usual we went pretty active on group chat after the celebrations to share pictures & comments. I found out some people are just not meant to do that! I should have sent out a warning like this before things happened:

You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right & post comments that " seemed funny at the time" you will be the target of ridicule until someone else within your social network does something worse."

Yup you guess it. Someone made an insensitive remark about the Boss's secretary in one of the pics & he'll probably live to regret it for the rest of his life in the company ....lol... She's a powerful & influential person, & you don't want to mess with her, no one does. Even our Boss listens to her. She lords over us all ...lol... Good Luck !!!!

Diversifying ????

Went to Popular to buy some pens & guess what I found there?

No your eyes are fine! you are not seeing things, yes Popular is selling rice cookers!
Well, we'll call it diversifying ...lol... But who'll buy a rice cooker there? It's just so odd ! Well stranger stuff has happened !

Misa Travel closed , so sad ....

I was shock to read the news of the sudden closure of  MISA Travel. Ever since day one, I've been getting my plane tickets & hotel reservations with them. They were always pretty good. Even when I started migrating to online reservations, it's always back to them when it's needed.

Like the recent promotion (flights to Hong Kong ) between DBS & Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong. I bought my tickets to Hong Kong through Misa Travel. Came back end of May & this happened. How sad!!! On one hand I'm sorry for those who were caught stranded with yet to 'fulfilled obligations' from the company, on the other hand, I hated to see a local established company fold. Hope everyone bought insurance.

I for one only buy insurance during the last minute before the trip itself. This really taught me a lesson. Buy it asap, right after booking & paying for anything, in case something like this will to happen again.

Sad .....

Morality in the workplace

Yesterday I caught/witness Corinne putting a bunch of office pens into her Chanel handbag 'again', to be taken home obviously. I guess it's common that many people treats the office as their personal Back To school shopping mall.

But for most employees, moral questions in the workplace are the same as moral questions in life. And in the end, if you wouldn't want your spouse to find out about it, don't do it. If it makes your kids think you are creepy, don't do it. And if it's gonna end with a grainy photo of you posted on Facebook & your name being used as the punch line of a joke about farm animals, don't do it!

And now back to office supplies ...lol... hmmm... that falls into grey area right? Since it wont hurt the multi- billion banking industry even a tiny bit just to 'contribute' to employees' home stationary use, most if not all employees will naturally treat office supplies as part of an entitlement of sorts. After all it's just stationary, I've heard of people taking home toilet rolls ....lol... yes, but never witness it though!

The new guy.

All the senior staff seriously hated this new guy that has joined us a month ago. He's looks as if he's only 20, settles all our techno problems & still has time to clinch big accounts. The Boss even invites him to his pent house to check his system. Yesterday Boss has another problem, calls him, he spend 5 minutes, hits restart, reminds Boss to do updates, & floats out with little wings on his back.

I don't mind him though, yesterday he showed me 1000 ways to utilized my I-phone .. haha....

                                                    

Please Don't kill yourselves at the Leaning Tower of Pisa !!!

Have you been to Pisa, Italy ? If you have, you will definitely have taken a picture of yourself holding up the famous leaning tower, one way or other. A small group of my friends are there now, I couldn't join them as I've used up all my leave for the year. Anyway they were sending me pictures in 'real time' of themselves in relation to the Leaning tower of Pisa. They were desperately trying to create these  images they found online to various degrees of success ....😆😆😆

This seems easy all of them could recreate this

Jim sprain his ankle doing this, the rest know better to even try  !

They suffer More injury trying to recreate this ....lol....

 What happened to them now ???? Let Just say, I'm glad they had travel insurance ...LOL....

Am I a monster ?

Yesterday after work, my colleague Pat came to my place, as she wanted to look at all the stuff I bought online. We bump into my neighbor at  the guard house. My neighbor was taking her baby & her dog for a walk. Pat cooed over the baby as I pet the dog. When my neighbor left. Pat asked me,
" Is the baby a boy or girl?" Well I didn't know.
"Do you know the baby's name? "
"No... Her dog's name is Snowy. "
" You're horrible !!!"

Am I?  Look I'm not a monster. I like babies for all the obvious reasons. They are cute & soft. They do cute things. And even if they throw or bang spoons & knives in restaurants, poo all the time or cry in the plane, I'm fine with that. I'm not the least bit disturbed as they are not mine. I felt almost desperate to defend my position to my friend as to myself.
Is there something wrong with me?

Snowy looks something like this, cute right?
