Paul's Fulfilling Life

Received an sms while I was on my way up to office from my long-time net friend, Alexandra that she had given birth to a baby girl yesterday morning. After some thought, I decided to pay her a visit after work. I got her chicken essence as she was complaining before the child birth that the baby was grossly underweight. People who know me well will know that I am not the type of person who goes to a friend's happy occassion empty-handed. Took a bus there, and took some time to find the place. I was quite stunned to find Alex to have ballooned so much, which I think was due to the weight of carrying the baby and the water retention in her body that made up the additional weight. I managed to see her husband as well. He seems well at ease with the baby girl. The baby stopped crying once he was carried by him. I was telling Alex that the husband was going to have a hard time if the baby gets used to being carried. The baby looks pretty small and fragile, maybe due to Alex's lack ...

I hate to be at home even on weekends nowadays. Why I say that? Mum was asking me she was planning to ask one of my friends to be her god-daughter, since she can't be her daughter in-law. I just told her that I feel that this person is not suited to be one as she choose to appear or disappear whenever she likes. So I am not sure if this person would fit the bill. For me, I feel that she doesn't as I felt that my mum was making a judgement just after seeing her once. Fortunately, I didn't tell her that I met up with some new net friends, otherwise she will be hinting for me to chase them again.

After a stressful work week that made me lay stumped by my boss' questions as he came back from his Europe trip on Thursday, it made me look forward to today. Intitally had no plans today, but brother was complaining his E700A handphone was giving him problem. Since the handphone was going to be 3 years. Guess that it was time to change a new handphone for him. Went to Singtel Comcentre and got the Samsung E730 for him. It came complete with a new number as well, as we were quite disappointed with the service provider that we previously had. It used to be good, but it got worse as the years went by. My brother was so happy with his new toy. Let's hope he treasures this handphone that my mum & I gave to him.

After I kept highlighting to my boss & LB that the auditors and/ or typists kept making mistakes on the company registration no or tax reference no. Logic will tell you that if the number is wrong, ACRA or IRAS may not accept the set of financial statements. How my bosses acted today? Mr Yee wrote on my working paper " What is happening?" and threw it on the typist table and got her to amend the error. LB scolded the prawn & the rest of the audit team, by saying " Why is this happening? The tax dept keep pointing out that there is error in company's registration no. Can you all check carefully? This kind of thing can't go wrong unless you are talking about the newly incotrporated companies in 2003, 2004 or 2005. That one I can understand. Are you all sleeping & checking your work at the same time? The prawn tried to push the responsibility to the typist. I was there thinking, how could you push the blame to someone who has no basic accounting knowl...

This was my Award Winning picture that I took at Revenue House that day, when I won the award. I just received the picture by post today. Hmmm. ..... How do I look?

I was running through The New Paper during my lunch break when I saw this piece of news that attracted me. Student shout vuglarities at teacher Teacher demands student to publish an apology in The Straits Times I was personally quite stunned when I saw this. The story continues that the school principal had already discplined him, and the child's parents were not able to raise the money for the apology in the newspaper. The principal has since said that it was a misunderstanding. The article goes on to share another student who had been punished to go without food by the teacher. The teacher hails from a reputed school. I just wonder what has become of the world these days. Has it gone upside down?
