It is the long weekend for me as I was on leave. With so much time on hand, I tried to clear my long to-do list as I have been busy with work and other stuffs. One of the first things I did was to clean up my wardrobe! There are a pile of clothes which needed ironing and my wardrobe was a mess. And I found a sexy lingerie which I had bought a long time ago but never had time to wear. Next I have to clean my room as well as my shoes rack!
The other day I have bad indigestion after my heavy lunch. I felt that there was a lot of wind in my body and yet it was difficult to get them out. Thus I went to Guardian pharmacy and bought a few sachets of Eno to relief indigestion.
I found one with Ginger flavor that could expel wind and relief indigestion and quickly grabbed it. After drinking it, within 20 minutes I felt better! But it was still there, just not too bad.Today I felt that I have a lot of wind in me again as I wanted to burp but couldn’t do so. I remembered the ginger tea that my colleague bought and made half a cup. I could burped better after that.
Indeed, ginger helps to expel wind from our body!
When I was in the office today, I suddenly remembered the time I was being asked my previous employer to help out at headquarter in Singapore for a couple of days or weeks at times. I was there mostly for customer support as well as training.
Thinking back, I think I was rather bold and committed with my job. Most of the time I have to travel on my own to the customer site to give them training or for support job, like implementation or fixing the software that run into some issues.
When I was there, I would be given a list of customers that faced any issues and I listed it in my folder. Then I would call them and tackle one by one, solving as many as I could before I went back. There were many times I took the MRT train alone to the customer site. I have to find out how to get there as I wasn’t familiar with the places.
There was even once my stingy lady boss wanted to save on the cost and taught me how to take the bus to a customer condominium to fix the printer services. It was a long bus journey and I was worried to get lost. Upon reaching there, I was impressed by the security of the condominium and went to the customer’s place to help her with the printer.
I was so familiar and know well about our software to be confident enough to visit them. And to do the training as well. There was many ups and downs in the job as there were different types of customers, some were sweet while others were monster! And I remembered the office was very cold that many of us wear our Berghaus Jackets to keep warm!
But anyhow, I really missed the old time and the job!
One of the reason I dislike having my meals at the hawker stall is the many sales people disturbing you while you are having your meal with their products. It could be lottery tickets, watches, promotional pens and sometimes they even ask for donations for various charities. I know that some of them are just scams, using the word charity to mislead you into donating to them. Well, we just need to be extra careful and not to be deceived by their appearances!
My friend and I argued again on her plan to lose weight. She told me that she is dieting but from what I observed she eats larger portion of food than me every time we have dinner together. As we are very close friend, I criticized her on her high calorie intake that jeopardizes her own diet plan. We have this same argument for many times but I didn’t seem to get my point to her. Well, now she is thinking of CLA to lose weight. I just hope she will be more persevere to achieve her ideal weight!
When we are buying a new house, one of the thing that we find out is the home owner insurance that we have to buy. I remembered the little girl’s house that my owner baby-sit was burnt down last year due to short circuit of an electronic item.
Nobody was at home during that time and they lost all their belonging. Thankfully they have home insurance that cover most of their losses or else it would be a real tragic. But they have lost many of their important documents and personal belongings too.
I was surprise to get another parcel this morning when the delivery man asked for me in the office. It made me wondered what it could be since I have not been ordering anything online since the bags which have arrived a couple of week ago. After signing the form, he asked to borrow the stapler and to my embarrassment we were running out of staples! I have to ask the admin to stock up the office supplies since everything seems to be running out!
Ended up, the parcel is for my housemate who used my office address as it wasn’t convenient for her to receive delivery in her office. I thought there is something for me. *disappointed*
It is the end of the year again and guess who is calling me? My insurance agent! She always called me at the end of the year to promote new life insurance quotes for me as well as to collect my annual insurance fees.
It is the only time of the year where I will meet her and we update each other about our lives. Maybe I’ll need to readjust my insurance premium this round. =)
My friend recently got a job in Sony and able to get the products at staff price! He offered to buy a few electronic items for me at lower price. I wish I can get the Sony Vaio from him but even after a little discount, it is still too pricey for my budget.
But I am eyeing on the new Sony MP3 player that seems very cool. Perhaps when my iPod breaks down first, then I shall think of replacement. I have to keep reminding myself not to spend so much for the economy is real bad!
I try to drink some milk every morning for every other week but I have heard of so many milk myths that makes me a little doubtful. But after checking it out, well, some myths are just..well, myths! It is not true.
For example, milk is bad for asthmatics which is definitely not true according to the American College of Nutrition Study as there is no scientific evidence to back it up.Milk causes kidney stones - University of Chicago shows that 600mg of calcium which is equivalent to two cups of milk a day doesn’t up the risk of stones forming at the kidney!
Drinking milk doesn’t cause you to gain weight as studies shown that people who consumed diary weighed less and has less body fat than people who don’t.So drink up your milk confidently! =)
