Lost a dear friend.

Had a call from my friend Wendy and could not hear a thing she was saying cos she was crying at the same time. She slow down and told me that Freddy is gone...................................... I was not sure cos there was no sign of any sickness. So I called his office but the office dare not confirm it, so I asked for the eldest son's handset number. I called and he confirmed it.

Freddy and wife Stephanie has been our close friends for the past 35 years ........... way before we (both couples) got married. Each time we have dinner together, he would hold my hands and tell me how much he appreciated our friendship. Each time I think of his words, tears would just flow down my cheeks whether I am in the office or in the car or even when I am on the phone with my daughter. Shireen was very concern and ask me not to go to the funeral parlour because my health this year is real horrid BUT I just have to go and see him for a last time.

It is so sad the way he died. He collapsed at the bank and NONE came to his aid. The post mortem shows that if someone would have just gave him a hard push at the chest area, he would have been saved. Worst was, there was a doctor at the bank at that time. He was only 59. It is so hard to accept his death. And I know it is worst for Stephanie who share most if not all her time with him.

But I pray Stephanie will be strong to go through all these as she still has four sons who need her most at this time.

Meanwhile, Freddy, we will all miss you very much and may you go in peace. Bless all your love ones who you left behind.

WHAT DO U CALL THIS???

I was asked to leave the company when I wrote to my boss for an increment after working with him for 9 years. Earlier there was a decrement and thanks to my immediate boss who recomendded my increment back to where I started just before he left the company.



When he asked me to leave somewhere in December, he said that he will give me enough time to look for another job and will compensate me 3 months salary. Then just before chinese new year, he gave me a cheque and told me that it was my bonus and I said a big TQ.

Comes March before he went in for his heart operation, he gave me a letter which states that he is giving me the 3 months salary he mentioned and one month of which I have taken in advance during chinese new year.

This really shocked me as much as it upsets me. In the first place, I did not asked for any advance pay so why should he consider that as an advanced payment?????

I suppose that might have caused the heart attack which I supposedly have without realising it which was confirmed by my heart doc. Oh yes! if I had died then, I would take it to grave with me. Can anyone tell me any reason why I shouldn't??

Each time I think of it, I get very very upset cos I feel so cheated.
Well, you can't blame me for hoping that the same thing will happen to the person who does this to me cos the world is round and EVERYBODY has ups and downs in one's life.

HALO

Hi! Been silent for a while because I just did not think of any interesting to say.

Went back to work in a totally new enviroment. Must say that it is an eye opener for me. Did not realise that there are so many things to learn in that industry. Been there a month and sad to say that I still have not learnt 5% of the trade. I must thank my guru though. She has been very helpful cos my boss is not in most of the time. Thank you - Angeline.

Was not well recently and got myself worried sick thinking it is my heart which causes me to have difficulty in breathing. So I had to make an emergency appointment to consult my doc. He checked and finally found that it was the new medication that I took for balancing my hormornes. So he gave me something else to ease it. Phew!! I thought another angioplasty.

Another sad news. My uncle (late ah yee's husband) passed away on 28.6.07. If I had been a healthy baby, I would have been given to him for adoption. He adopted my half sister instead. He loved me as a daughter anyway cos I was a good girl since young. Ahem!! Ahem!!

I feel very sad for him cos he actually worked till he die. I believe many people goes through the same but then this uncle had a daughter who was married to quite a wealthy guy. She probably could not buy him a bungalow or employ maid for him but I am sure that she can offer a trip to nearby countries when he was ok, or maybe help pay some of his medical bills. When I went back to see him some time ago, he actually cried when talking about her.

I may sound cruel or maybe cocky but I just cannot accept her. With her is just hello - goodbye. Nothing more nothing less.

Hard to believe there are such children. Pray that God will wake them before it is too late. Hope that whatever ill-feelings there is between parents and children - all will be forgotten after a good sleep.

First day at new job

After 2 solid months of rest after my surgery, have become kinda of lazy. Started worrying 2 weeks ago whether I can get up that early as I have been getting up at 9am, or whether my rusty brains can pick up the tasks.
Comes 30.5.07, told the whole world (my family - hehehe) that I have to sleep early so that I can get up in time to go to the new office which is a couple more miles from the old one. Aiya! lagi teruk, toss and turn the whole night cannot sleep. And when I finally got to sleep, the alarm clock and my handphone reminder rang.
Surprise the road was not that bad - of course it is school holidays now. Manage to reach the office at 8.08am. Hope the traffic flow can maintain like this all the time.
On the way home, I paid the toll and turn wrongly to the federal highway and join the jam again. How stupid. Grrrrr!!!!!!
