Surprise Surprise, Boss Finally Acts!

-
I was quite surprised when my lady boss sent out a inter-office memo today, stating that one of my colleagues had resigned from her job after a meeting with her on Monday. I shan't reveal the name of the person involved as there is a gag order from my lady boss.

I was not at all surprised by what was written in the letter, as she has been gulity of doing all the things as said in the letter and I do believe there is more than an eye to this matter, not just a simple resignation. If you readers can understand what I mean by that? In Chinese, it means "事有歧窍".

I just hope that the memo from my lady boss serves as a wake up call to my colleagues about the bad points that this particular colleague showed in work. If not, I will not be surprised that there will be more shocking things to come from her as bosses are always concerned about the bottom line.

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 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...
