Actually tried to update something here yesterday, but I guess there was something wrong with the site. I hope you guys can see this today.Finally, a chance for a long weekend, but not before a barrage of nasty comments from my colleagues, yet again. The Personal Tax (Form B & Form B1 are finally streaming in). I wonder how I can cope with it, with the extension deadline coming just a month apart of each other. I guess just take it as it comes along.I have decided to start my revision on 30 April. Hope my load will be lighter by then, not like the last round, where I was quite cooped up with my work, therefore I flunked 1 of the papers.Stella won't be joining me for the Taipei trip, as her manager had refused to grant her leave. I told her I will ask her along next time. Some anger over the travel agent's arrangements though, the agent has put us in a 4 star hotel, not a 3 star one that we have asked for. The reason being, the 3 star one is full. I guess its their way of pocketing extra commission. Haha..:)Went to volunteeer for the Income Tax filing session at my Community Club. It was quite a boring session as not many people came by. (Maybe the deadline is not very near, and it was raining heavily yesterday). I told the club manager that I will pop by to help him if I am free. He gladly appreciated.After that, I went to Suntec City, to meet a long-time net friend, Alexandra. It was her birthday on 25 March. I waited about close to 2 hours for her, so she decided to treat me KTV. Well, for people who know me, I do not accept treats from people without giving something in return, espsecially during special occasions. So spending my time wisely, I shopped a present for her. Thankfully, Suntec has many shops for me to run around. In the end, I got a watch for her. She was quite surprised as the price don't come cheap. She decided to top up some more money for a more sporty watch. I told her she was lucky as I work around the area, so I will always pop by Suntec City, therefore I know what I wanted to get for her. :)After singing close to 3 hours after that, we headed home

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
