The area of attack is my throat.
It seemed to like my throat so much tat its settling down (2weeks+)
I had never had such an unwelcoming guest b4.

I hope the bug will leave me soon, i missed my junk food/ice-cream/chocolates!!!

The bug has also multiplied and attacked my neighbours. Olive and Wong also sick.
Hope they are recovering.

WHAT KIND OF EMPLOYEE ARE YOU?

Its accurate for me man!! Read on! I listed only some horoscopes that i have friends that falls under them :) I am cancerian!

Aries Employee Profile (march 21 - april 19)

Aries employees make excellent troubleshooters. They'll usually want to be out in the field at a variety of different work sites fixing things. They certainly won't be happy for very long behind a desk in a 9 to 5 schedule. The bored Aries employee who has been forced into a square hole will typically be restless, angry, and careless with details. No amount of money would compensate for being stuck in a routine job. Money in fact isn't why they are working at all. They do want to be paid fairly and need a status position to satisfy their competitive tendencies--but even more importantly, they'll want challenging new projects They typically like to have a sense of responsibility and need to feel needed. In return, they'll give their all and provide detailed, consistent work. They will literally work themselves to exhaustion to prove themselves. If you want to keep your Aries co- worker productive and happy, you'll want to give them the opportunity to work independently or let them help and lead less experienced workers.
Cancer Employee Profile (june 22 - july 21)
The Cancer employee isn't at work to feed their ego -- their job is just a job and a means to get paid. They work steadily and are usually very reliable. You'll be able to depend on them to show up on time and do what is necessary. They won't get involved in power struggles or get upset when someone advances before them. They are able to accept the situation because they see it simply as a rung on the ladder up. Their motivation is security. They'll want more money the longer they've stayed at a job. They don't want to have to worry about how they'll make ends meet tomorrow so they'll need a stable position without much risk. Cancerian workers can slip into some dark moods on occasion. During these periods productivity tends to drop-as well as everyone else's in the office. Their moods can be so strong everyone becomes affected. To avoid the frequency of these occurrences, managers and co-workers should try to make the work environment as homey as possible-keep it well heated, cozy, and friendly. Don't press them to reveal their true inner thoughts-their tendency is to be secretive and protective, and they could see prying as an attempt to disturb their security.
Leo Employee Profile (july 22 - august 21)
Leo workers want to be first and at the center of the office.Even if they can't lead, they'll look for every opportunity to increase their own status - and if someone else seems ahead of them, look out. They will make it clear that they aren't happy by pouting and complaining. They want advancement so much that they'll take on more responsibility and carry a heavier load than anyone else does in the office. And they are self-promoters. It is likely that they are telling everyone in the office what a great job they are doing as well as giving everyone unwanted advice. They know they are superior and want everyone to know it as well. This arrogance can sometimes cause problems when working with management. But typically, they are just hard workers out to demonstrate just how good they really are. They thrive in sales positions - they can promote a product or company just as well as they promote themselves.Their strength and arrogance isn't just show either. In a crisis situation, Leos really demonstrate their true courage. Leos want to lead and will be pushing for more responsibility and rewards. They are happy to train and mentor new co-workers as they enjoy giving advice and being in positions of authority. If you are trying to manage a Leo employee, you'll need to give them plenty of praise, responsibility, and independence. They will certainly want to help lighten your load of management responsibilities. Just be careful- the next thing you know they could be taking over your job.
Libra Employee Profile (september 23 - october 22)
Libra employees are detailed, dedicated workers with sensitive natures. Managers and co-workers sometimes find them difficult to get a handle on. They pick up the energy of the office and are unable to prevent it from affecting them. Loud noise, flashy colors, and discordant vibrations will put them off so much that they will have difficulty fulfilling their obligations at work. One day they may seem like the most bright, hardworking, ambitious employee around. The next day they might be down, irritated, and unable to produce. Co-workers shouldn't fret when Libra employees are in a dark mood. It really won't last, as a happy state of mind can come over them just as quickly. When Libra employees are in a balanced frame of mind, they can be a powerful presence at work-they have a way of gracing everything they touch. Underneath that mess of moods, they really are basically happy and stable people. They are capable of profound logical thought and evaluate all sides of a situation before acting. They are one of the most intelligent Signs around. They are expert researchers and mediators. And their sensitivity to their environment makes them naturals at keeping things looking great. They will easily help others resolve conflicts and can act as a go-between with workers and management so that everyone ends up happy. If you want to keep your Libran worker smiling, give them the respect they are due and put them in a position where they can project their great charm and diplomacy. They won't be CONTENT to take orders for very long, either- make sure they are given increased responsibility.
Scorpio Employee Profile (october 23 - november 21)
Scorpio employees usually exude a quiet self-confidence. They are self-sufficient and do not depend on others for a sense of self-worth. They keep their private life separate from work and take complete responsibility for their actions and their situation. They don't make excuses; they just take care of business and expect everyone else to do the same. Those who don't, co- workers and managers- will have to endure the Scorpio wrath. They don't mind being completely vocal about what they feel is wrong with any given situation. And if you tread on their fire be sure to expect retaliation. They won't take insults or opposition lying down. If you manage a Scorpio employee, be sure to follow through with your word and don't break any promises- Scorpio is keeping track and building up some heavy resentments against you if you do. You may not even be aware of it until too late-but when Scorpio gets too much, you'll be sure to know. Scorpio employees will react towards those around them exactly as they are treated. When they get what they want, they will be very accepting. If you are trying to work with or motivate a Scorpio coworker, be sure to treat them respectfully and act professionally. Give them challenging work that allows them to utilize their awesome self-confidence and courage.
Aquarius Employee Profile (january 21 - february 19)
The Aquarius employee can't tolerate unfairness in the office. Hair brained schemes will get the positive attention they deserve if an Aquarian has anything to do with it. They'll try to help everyone see the good side of a bad situation if it's the last thing that they do. They are so smart-they can't help but hold management in disdain if they feel that they are being unfair and unintelligent. It isn't that they are overly ambitious and think they could be doing a better job- just that they think people in power should know better. Most Aquarius workers are still looking for themselves and will want to try their hand at a variety of jobs in the workplace. Whatever they are doing, they will do conscientiously. They usually have strict personal codes that include a strong work ethic. Their bright, off-beat intelligence and trustworthiness will typically gain them many friends-in and out of work. Beneath that sometimes odd-ball behavior is solid, concrete thinking and sensitivity to co-workers. Keep your smart Aquarius co-worker happy by giving them plenty of opportunity to learn news kills. Raises are less important to them. No amount of money will make it worth their while to stay in a stagnant position. Don't let them get too bored or they will simply find another job as easily as they found this one-their genius is easy to spot.
Pisces Employee Profile (february 20 - march 20)
The Pisces employee can be a loyal and hard-working, if unconventional, worker. In the right position, they are able to keep their daydreams in check and buckle down on the detail work-giving their all to the boss and corporation whom they feel are worthy of devotion. On the flip side, there is no image of extreme misery like that of an ill-placed Pisces worker. They will act as though their cubicle were a prison cell as they daydream of their own business or next vacation. Unhappy Pisces workers usually won't stick around too long. Often Pisceans will drift from one job to another looking for that ideal environment to which they will be able to commit and feel a sense of purpose. And if things are going in a bad direction at the office, Pisces will be the first to sense it. They'd rather pick up and leave then wait until the problem reaches a head. Pisces are often misunderstood by their co-workers. Typically timid and introspective, they usually keep their true nature hidden, for fear it wouldn't fit with the corporate culture. What motivates a Pisces employee to not only stick around but also excel? Try compliments. And show them how their work impacts the entire organization. They need to know that what they are doing is worth something on a grander scale. Acceptance of their unconventional organization and planning will be necessary. Just because their sales report isn't in the typical format doesn't mean it is any less effective. Keep their environment bright and upbeat; and an after-work cocktail wouldn't hurt.

Mercedes Cab

I have to pour out all this bad feelings first before i can sleep.

I don't like mercedes cab. Many bad experiences with them.

1) Car Door too heavy
2) seat too deep seated, not comfortable
3) Driver attitude sucks
4) I simple dont like

Today after a long hard day, I was walking towards the taxi stand and there I saw the Mercedes cab waitng first in queue. I PURPOSELY slow down my steps, hoping will all my heart that someone will come and take the cab. To my utmost dismay, no one was waiting for cab.

I took it. When Uncle heard my distination, he replied with at BIG SIGH: " 唉。。。越不想去的地坊,越会去!" Then he starts to complain my place is so WULU la, go there means stuck in that area, their most horror zone. He also say if from town there are customer going to my area he will refuse to take them. AIYO.... What kind of service is that??? Arent those who drove Mercedes cab supposed to have good manners and attitude?? WHAT A DISGRACE!!!!!

Besides this, today is not a good day for me... i scalded my hand in the morning when mum steam bun for me. The bun is burnt. I got lost finding my way to 五金店, under hot torching sun, so have to take cab... then i cant find the shop, walk aimless for a while, in fact i did a lot of walking today... Then when i am in town, on the way back in cab, my sis as me to buy stuff for her and i have to stop and take cab again.. which links back to my previous point about MErcedes CAB.

To pamper myself, i watch MONSTER HOUSE today with MeeC-min and cousin. Heh a nice show. I also bought 2 korean movie VCD to watch.. heh and i just finish one of it... its 2.29am now... i should go to sleep... after venting my frustration here, i think i will sleep v well indeed. :)

K800i


I have a nice afternoon loitering around esplande, taking photos with my K800i.

Me and Uncle SK were waiting to meet up with Ah Li and gang.


I loved the new phone. Heh... 3.2 mega pixels.

<--- see i have the skyscraper under my thumb!!






The photo depicts Me holding the Merlion!! haha ----->

Clarke Quay


My sat night was quite special... Clarke Quay... has changed!

With colourful lights luminating the skys,
With music and laughter in the air,
With pleasant sounds of people eating, chatting...
Mmm... Clarke Quay has changed!

The new Clarke Quay is happening, with new resturants/pubs and cafes.

The Gang arrived at about 9pm... all not very hungry (or actually quite hungry)
We went to a new pub resturant highly recommended by Shan. There are cute little rocking chairs outside the pub... nice.

We ordered a very expensive platter of kebah $35, It was the most overpriced meal... but we are hungry, cant seem to stop with just drinks and muffins. Thus we ordered chicken wing and chicken skewers, each cost $18 separately. What an indulgence!

After meal, we proceed to walk-take photo-walk-figuring where to go. We pondered over options like Newton Hokkien Mee (suggested by Shan), Rocher beancurd (latte gal and MeeC-min), Geylang beancurd/Orh-Ah-Mee-Suan (Uncle SK) and finally we decided to go to the nearest place, settler's cafe (suggested by ME)

We make a big detour to the place man... so by the time we reached there, we are hungry again. However, most of us have the mentality of "i rather die of hunger than obesity" in mind, so we only ordered a small plate of SOTONG BALLS, despite my attempts of trying to get them order a platter of most sinfully fried food, with an assortment of fries,chicken wings, sotong balls etc GUESS what happen? The poor sotong balls were devoured within minutes!

We played quite some games in the cafe, as we changed game quite frenquently... The most amazing thing is that we have to explain HOW TO PLAY HEARTATTACK to lattegal. Her memory failed her when we tried to explain to her how the game go. I thought this game is basically the most basic game we knew in sec sch... ALAS she only remember the murderer game. LOL___________LOL

We played for about 1 hr...and the time we spend most on was JENGA. Old game, but still as fun. Next time maybe I shall go for other games... if we have more time.
