Got my desktop last Friday and it has been a nightmare since then. :(
I bought 2 games, Majong Solitaire and Crystallize (games is like Bejeweled 2) to download at home to play. Bought a Reading Program Disc for Rachel as well. Initially, first 2 days was still quite okay. But on Sunday nite when Jonathan came back from his dad's place, aiyoh! It's war time.
Rachel do not allow Jon to play and they were screaming at each other bcos both of them are snatching the mouse and pushing each other off the chair. Once, Rachel was so angry when Jon refused to let her play, she started boxing him till he cried. Poor boy!
Since Monday till now, every morning, Jon woke up very early, wash up and change into school uniform, next thing is he's at the desktop playing games. Best part was my mum, instead of getting Rachel ready for school, she was standing beside Jon, watching and telling Jon where to click etc. Sigh! So now, every morning, I got to rush them out of the house.
Then comes evening time, both kids will rush through their dinner and homework for JOn. After that quarrelling starts, over the PC again. Sigh..
Not too sure if it's a good thing to have a desktop at home now.. :(

9th day at Work..
I have been working here for 9 days.. but it seemed like I have been here for months. So tireeeeed..... :(
Now for the time being, (I think this week only, hopefully) I have to work from my boss' house in the morning, to setup his clients files, and in the afternoon, back in the office or out to meet clients.
For the past few days, I'm only in the office for like 2-3 hours! Running about like an adviser. I think I met more clients than my ex-colleagues. Some how, I missed the office desk-bound job.. but definitely not the FILINGS!

My First 2 Days @ Work
Started work in my new office yesterday. Was late on my first day! Reached office at 9.15am.. Phew! What a start!
Yesterday was a busy day.. since morning. Calling the insurers to find out clients' policies details etc. Lunch with my ex-agent, Linda Lee. She wanted to buy me my farewell lunch. After lunch went to Sim Lim Square to buy namecard scanner for my boss. Afternoon, doing the insurance summary for one of the clients. Took me around 1 hr to do it.. too slow for my standard. :( By the time I finished all the things, 6pm liao... Time to knock off liao.
At around 2pm, I received a call from my ex-boss. She said my replacement girl tendered her resignation. My God! Me here starting work first day, over there was my replacement's last day of work. New secretary claimed that she cant take the workload there. Too much work to do, and messy filings. Told my ex-boss that filings, cant be helped. It's not messy as files were all labelled.. Just that all the papers not filed in yet, so it's messy. ;P She said ya.. she understand. When I was there, I really got no time to do especially if she's running for her sales. So now, she has got to do all the things herself.
Today, second day at work.. Quite boring. Nothing much to do lei. My boss running in and out of the office. He's going for his reservist next week and therefore got to do his sales by this week. He told me:"Sorry hor.. this week you got to swim on your own here. I'm too busy to coach you." Good for me lor.. no government here! ;) But if this continues, I will be very, very bored.
My office environment here.. young agents but they dont seems to be very friendly type. Luckily I do have friends here. They will drop by and chat with me for a while, or if I do need some help, I can approach them. :) Cannot eat/munch in the office. So I'm going to lose more weight! Die lah! Cannot munch! Well, but i dont care.. anyway, munch only in the afternoon after the cleaning lady go home. Ha..ha..
Yesterday morning, I took a packet of biscuit at my desk, cos I didnt know about the rules yet. The cleaning lady came and told m
e that I cant even eat biscuits at my desk I was quite shocked! Well, since then, she has been watching me with her eagle eyes!
My boss room is located like 8 rooms away from where I'm sitting. He will intercom me as and when and I have to walk over to his room.. First day of work already got blister on my feet. Asked my boss if I can wear slippers here. He said ok, except when I'm meeting clients. No problem at all man! He..he..
My desk space is so small.. so miserable compared to the one that I used to have. Only got space to put a laptop and some papers.. that's it liao..
Overall here, it seems okay.. but a bit boring lor.. I miss my ex-colleagues!! :(

Genting Trip - 22 Dec '-06 to 25 Dec '06
Spent this year's Christmas in Genting again. This year, Genting is extremely cold. Maybe because it's year-end and monsoon season. We woke up at 5.30am to get ready and left the house at 6.15am. It was raining that morning but when I called the cab and went downstairs to wait for it's arrival, rained stopped! ;) The coach left golden Mile Complex at 7am sharp. Journey was ok, maybe we have got used to it after travelling to Genting so many times.
We arrived Genting at around 2.30pm. Supposed to deposit our luggages at Genting Highland Hotel and wait for my cousin Raymond, his baby Hazel (5 months old) and my aunt, Priscilla to arrive at 4pm. The 3 of them travelled via SQ to KL airport and limousine to Genting. We created a boo-boo cos we deposited our luggages at Genting Hotel instead. :P
There were 8 adults and 3 children, all squeezed into 2 hotel rooms.. 3 to a bed, 2 slept on the floor. First night there, my mum, cousin and my aunt went to gamble first cos I need to look after Rachel. I went down to gamble at around 12-ish am till ard 4-ish am. Took only RM $150 to gamble.. Limited funds, sigh.. Luckily won RM$600 but in the end lose another RM$300. Decided to call off for the day when there was still some winnings. My mum better still, went to Genting without changing any RM. Gave her RM$300 to spent there and she went to gamble, first night lost. Second night, she won RM$700+. Told her to pay for the X'mas Dinner which cost RM$250 per pax!
On the third day, my mum went to gamble again.. in form.. won another few hundreds.. She was so happy. Bought a pair of Seed jeans (RM$109), 1 Soda top (RM$39), 1 gold ring (RM$136)! Happily spending money there! As for me, I only gamble on first night and for another 1 hr or so on the second night. Too tired to gamble. In fact, spent of my time there sleeping and bringing Rachel for her rides and games.
Rachel enjoyed herself during the day except that night time she will miss home and Jonathan. On our first night there, she told me before she slept that she wanted to go home now and sleep! Told her, too late liao. No more buses to send us back home. Finally she was too tired and went to sleep.
On our second day there, I brought her to First World for her games, rides and went to the Child Care Centre that she likes. Of cos, when she was at the Child Care, I have to stay with her becos she's too young and small size. We stayed there for 1 hr. Initially she was a bit scared of the height of the playground. After 5 mins or so, she was ok cos I climbed up with her.
We had our Christmas Dinner at The Olive on our third day, 24 Dec '06. Small portion of food on big plate! First time eating Fresh Oysters. Tasted not bad. Ha..Ha.. Me and Rachel likes the desert most! Nice decorations and there's a scope of ice cream, with Christmas Minced Pie and Pudding. Rachel cant wait for the Dinner to be over. Well, kids cant sit down or stay still for too long! After Dinner, Rachel and me went back to hotel for our beauty sleep while the rest headed for Casino. Initially I wanted to go down after my mum went back to the room but was too tired to get up. :P
On our last day at Genting, not much time to do anything cos we have to catch the coach at 2.30pm. Luckily there was no jam at both causeways. Arrived in Singapore around 9.30pm. So far, the trip is nice and relaxing for me. :)

Counting Down...
Finally.. last 7 working days with my current company. So many things not cleared, filed, thrown and hand over. Still in the mist of employing a new capable, trainable secretary.. Please... Come in asap or NOW! So that I can do a proper handover job.
I had an Admin Asst for 2 and a half DAYS. Not a very good experience though. Guess maybe she and me really cant click on the very first day. So now got to advertise and start calling for new candidates for interview.
This coming Fri (22/12/06), I will be going to Genting for my Christmas Holidays with Rachel and my mum. Rachel's looking forward to this trip as she gets to wear her new clothes, Snow White Princess shoes and socks. Finally into the Princess category.. not so much of Barney. And for me, it's a break for me as this Dec is really a horribly busy month! Hopefully, will be able to win some money while I'm there.. :)
Heard from my aunt, Priscilla, that my cousin, Raymond, has booked for Christmas Dinner at Genting for all of us on 24 Dec '06. Price is ard S$100+ per pax - go Dutch! Aiyoh! Such an expensive dinner. :(

I'm Down with Fever :-(
Now, it's my turn to be down with Fever.. after Rachel. :-( Got the fever bug on Sat, took Panadol Cold Relief tablets and thought would be fine. Who knows, ganna very bad sore throat.. the kind that it's painful even when you swallow saliva..
Still gung-ho, continue to go to work on Monday. By lunch time, cannot tahan liao, took half day leave back to rest. Finally decided to see doctor last night. Given a course of antibiotics, cold tablets (1 for runny nose, 1 for stuffy nose), fever tablets and 1 bottle of cough syrup. Given MC for today, but no choice, no one to cover up for me especially now that I'm clearing my stuff, so got to go back to work.
Today, my boss just told me to remember to write out a cheque for my AWS this Fri! Hurray! And she will pay me my salary after Xmas. To me, no diff lah! At least, still get my AWS now that I have already tendered my resignation. :-)
