Nothing much actually..juz doing up some excel sheets for a colleague.Originally posted by littlestream:No problem.
I just came back from the mall. Bought hubby some of those imitation cologne. Aiyah, he got good ones lah, but the way he spray, like spray insecticide like that, so better get him cheap ones for everyday use and then use the ex ones for outings.
No lunch leh but bought some nuts to munch.
You leh? Doing what work? Not appropriate to disclose here, never mind. You continue and we will play catching as and when lah hor?
Y no lunch? Kiam bui ah?

oh *&%@!!
i forgot i needed to do a report about an officer of mine who made a mistake... i guess i'll do it at work... -
Wah, Bear, so deep tonight ah? But know what? I can understand where you are coming from. No, not that I share the same sentiments.
It's all in the mind. How one "tricks" oneself into believing or accepting something. But life is short lah, no need to think too deep, right?
When there is unexpected or premature death in the family, one tends to look at life differently. One make do or just do the best one can and pray for God's grace while still in existence on earth.
-
nah.. not deep...
just that i've had these feelings all my life..
i guess i've never fit in anywhere at all...
and i'm fine with it...
but there's this wistful wish..
oh well... maybe one day, i will belong.. hopefully to someone i love

I'm back! I'm back!Originally posted by littlestream:Errr.......friend......it's been over an hour. Didn't see your shadow ley.
I was out too and it is lovely out there. No sign of humid index and the what nots (UV).
Decided to walk into the city for lunch with a good friend who works there. It's a 25-minute walk from my office to the food court downtown. It's a little on the warm side today (78°F) with moderately high humidity (65%), so I did work up a bit of a sweat getting there, as downtown St. Paul is a little hilly.
Yes, the "lunch hour" went a little over an hour, but I'll just make that up by working through the mandatory afternoon break.
Bear, have you repaired your a/c yet????
MG -
the repair dude will come on thursday...
it's okay tonight coz it rained like heck in the evening -
Orrr.......sorry hor, that one I cannot help you. You must open your eyes lah. Maybe got ley. Your vibe machine shut down is it? Sometimes....it's "far in heaven, near in eyes" and you still looking. Look around you closely lah.Originally posted by the Bear:oh well... maybe one day, i will belong.. hopefully to someone i love
Errrr...officer? What officer? You said you not regular mah. Officer in army is it? -
nah.. i'm in irregular
it's just something we are... officers on the job
and heck.. i'm too damned blur to know unless she physically falls into my arms... and knowing me, i'll probably end up being mortally injured if she does -

Wah, you sure clock your workout for the week, man! Your office got shower stalls or not? Can take a shower.
Mine got. I have colleagues who go to the gym during lunch hours. Gym is just across the road. Those a bit tight on the pocket ones, just jog around the block and they shower in the washrooms located in the office building basement.
Me? The only exercise will be my fingers.........typing posts in Sgforums. And the eyes too. That's it. Yeah, I know, got to get the body cranking. Okay, wait for the fall. I've signed up for badminton with hubby at the local community centre. You don't say....I was a player before, know? I mean badminton player!!! -
That's being sexist!! What if the repairperson is female?Originally posted by the Bear:the repair dude will come on thursday...

Yeah, I miss the torrential downpours in Singapore. Everything around always looked so clean after a passing thundershower....
...then the sun would break out and heat the ground, and the evaporating rainwater would turn the place into a veritable sauna.
Okay, maybe I don't miss the rains in Singapore!

Be careful with your usage of the keyboard; you are familiar with carpal tunnel syndrome, yes?

By the way, is racial profiling a norm? Remember my friends who moved from TO to the States? She had this experience. She called a company to get a quote for drapes. The sales lady came by her home and was surprised to see my friend.
The sales lady said "oh, I didn't know you are Chinese as you didn't sound like one over the phone. If I had know, I wouldn't have taken this call." Her reason was Chinese haggle over prices and told my friend she will not entertain that. My girlfriend was

Aiyoh folks, there's a worm around and we've been asked to be cautious about being on the internet.
