Recycled Monitors @ Home & Office

-
I got a pleasant surprise as I stepped into the office today. The monitor that I have been craving for has been changed. It seems that boss has took out the monitor from the audit supervisor's room as I saw that her workstation without the monitor.

Maybe my boss was appreciative of the efforts that I have stayed behind to finish off the income tax returns for Year of Assessment 2006 on Friday (I actually stayed till 9pm) to fill up the Form C and submit together with the accounts.

Maybe you can say that I am easily satisfied but I know that my boss won't really get a new monitor for me! At least, I can say that the monitor is another one of my favourite brands for monitor, Samsung

I finally got my ex-colleague R to change a used CRT monitor for me to use at my home today. He was telling me that this 17 inch monitor that he gave me can still be used until it is spolit. This means that I can delay my purchase of the LCD monitor for the time being.

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...
