Busy Month for September & October

-

It has been a while since I last blogged as I have been busy due to work. My manager has been on long medical leave due to an operation. She is likely to be going on another round of long medical leave as there were some complications. Let’s hope everything will be okay after this.

The good thing arising from this is that my boss is delegating more control to handle my work within my job scope, instead of asking me to handle the “dirty jobs”. She says she hopes to train me up to a management post. We shall see how it will pan out as some things have happened at work recently and made me a little pissed. It took me a while to let it go and acknowledged that its part & parcel of work. It makes you wonder why some people do not know how to mind their own business sometimes.

I was invited the 2018 Silent Heroes Award Dinner on 29 September as a past winner cum Alumni. It was nice to catch up with some of them since the launch of the alumni early this year.

I also met up with my ACCA classmates for our once a year meetup on 5 October, not forgetting celebrating my volunteer friends’ birthdays (Jasmine & Meiqi) on 1st October.

I had been asked to perform 2 songs at the Silver Generation Ambassador Appreciation Nite on 13 November. Luckily, the songs that I have chosen will match the theme for the night (Shanghai Nite).

Looking forward to my break soon. =)

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...
