Overweight

When someone is being described as "overweight" by others, it's not a good feeling... especially when that someone is not "overweight" at all in the first place~

In order to prevent such "mistaken identity" issues from happening, let me share with you on the acceptable weight range for some heights... *hehe*

Wedding Planner

Preparing for a wedding is so troublesome, so expensive and so hectic... lucky I'm only helping out my buddy, with the assistance from Shirlene of course *phew*

The couple gotta find a hotel with the most acceptable deal among 6 choices, comfy and huge enough bridal suite, spacious ballroom with the least or even better, no pillars, and then bargain with the chosen hotel for more freebies and discounts before the contract is drafted out.

Next come the bridal shop... lucky we only stopped at the 2nd one and then it was done. Hehe... anyway the couple gotta bargain for more poses in the main album (in simple term - photos) in exchange for some stuff that they do not want from the package.

Then the couple need to crack their head on who to invite and who not to invite... and had to worry about the overall expenditure incurred on the whole thing... *tsk tsk tsk*... so hor... whoever read this post and are invited to their wedding (I think none wor *haha*), better prepare a "big" Ang Pow for them... cos they had been pressurizing me (non-stop) on that issue.


It was, however an honoured role assigned by the couple to Shirlene and me, to be able to follow them throughout their whole wedding process, from the proposal up to their honeymoon... *haha*... yes! I didn't type wrongly on the honeymoon part... both of us are invited to their honeymoon trip (on our own expenses of course... you think they so good meh? *haha*)

By the way, I wonder if I looked too "capable" to them... cos I am having various potential roles in addition to the wedding planner:
  1. Valet parking (dunno why also)
  2. Security counter for Ang Bao Box
  3. Soft drinks front-line defence for the couples (cos I'm non-alcoholic and I love soft drinks)
  4. Montage assistant (supposed to come out with something special)
  5. Security guard for Ang Bao Box (better dun come and hijack me hor)
  6. Videographer (cos I am one during their Proposal Surprise and Solemnisation Event)

I feel so multi-tasked in this wedding preparation wor~

The Knife

I just discovered there's a knife on my back... with compliments from a fellow colleague~
I had once again trusted the wrong person... and this is just part of the bad luck I'm having since the start of the year... or should I say since February 2008 to be exact.

I gave the 3 files (1st belonged to mine and the rest were his) to him on 12 Feb 08 to help me deal with it... cos I was on course from 11 Feb to 13 Feb and since we shared the same case, so it was part of his responsibility anyway...

We were supposed to revert the file latest by 14 Feb 08 since the Deadline was 15 Feb 08.

On 13 Feb, I was on MC and I was told that he had not submitted the file yet. He said "worst come to worse, we submit on 14 Feb lor, kena scold only mah"... Ya thanks for saying that... but I will be the one to be blamed cos they only target the name on the 1st file~

On 14 Feb daytime, I asked him if he had settled the file and he said he will try and see how...

On the same day at 11pm, I received an SMS from him, asking me to send the files to see the Senior XXX on 15 Feb 08 morning cos he couldn't make it last min. When I took over the files from his desk and looked at the minute he had typed to our OC, he stated "I am assisting GPS (referring to me lah) to prepare the file for...", and the BEST phrase is this "the delay was due to GPS attending course last minute and she was on medical leave on 13 Feb 08".

#@*#@* I passed the files to him on 12 Feb 08 leh!! He sounded as if I had sought his help last minute and it was purely all my fault!! I was fuming with anger... but I only have myself to blame... cos I didn't see the blade piercing through my back~

I haven been able to spend much time at home for the past few weeks since the new year started... I remembered the Fortune Teller Master Chen said to me... that I would be very very busy with my work for this year and I should be careful with the "cunning people" (小人) around me... Hmm... this is so true~ so for those kind souls out there, help me look out for my back k?
