小不點看世界

Yes! Its one month to Christmas!!!

Ermmm... no plans yet for Christmas, but yah I just like the season... :P haven't done much shopping yet, still clueless what to get... *headache*

Xmas is coming.... FT bought some Xmas socks and put up at our cubes... and my "golden retriever" has worn the reindeer hairband to add in the fun.... hmmmm, I feel like finding a small Xmas tree and put it up in our cubes.. but where to find them?

and now I'm thinking of what to but and put in the Xmas socks for the rest.... isn't Xmas just fun? :P

Yesterday was our ROM anniversary... Time flies... it has been 2 years since we are legally married... we didn't really have much celebration, cause we are both tired.... it was a working day.... i'm still thinking of whether to post-celebrate this weekend... not an excuse, but I think we both need to really spend time alone without "life" catching up on us....

but with our tight budget, i'm still wondering what we can do...

A few weeks ago PS posted on her FB status that she has a bad experience talking to the customer service officer from Citibank... and I can only agree with her... I always hated calling them... anyway today I just make a call to them to cancel all my card with them, since I realise that I have stopped using them for a while...

anyway, I was quite happy when my phone was picked up at the 1st ring.. cos in the past when I called them, I probably will be put on listening to their music for a good 15 minutes before a customer service officer is available to talk to me... so I'm kinda of happy that I have got luck today... but my happiness was short lived..

as I have 2 cards to cancel, I called and state the number of the first card... and problem one happened... they need all the verification which i gladly told them... until it come to the part of the credit limit.... i can't remember and i had to login to my internet banking to check... and to my horror, after i state the amount to the CSO, he told me it was wrong... and he even told me that the credit limit for each card is the same.. i mean WTF, you think i'm some idiot or something? i can't read what is on  the screen.... and I'm stupid not to know what is credit limit?? and I told him off that I'm looking at my electronic bill right now and this is the amount stated.. does he need me to print it out and fax it to him to verify that is what is showing on my screen? i think that pisses him off a little and he tries to cut in to what i was saying... *rude* of him...

anyway he asked for my mum maiden name for another verification... which i told him and he told me the amount reflected on his screen... and i gave him another round of "lecture" saying that there is some problem with their system.. it clearly stated on my screen that its not the amount he mention... so he blah blah blah and went on to "process" my cancellation... and told me it has been done...

and the 2nd problem came.. i told him to cancel off my Citibank SMRT card too... and apparently i think he is unable to find that card under my name... and he asked me what card is it? hello, i just told you its the SMRT visa platinum card right? do you have that much SMRT card??? then he asked me is it under my name? o.m.g.... does he really think that i'm some blur f**k.....

i volunteered the number of my SMRT card... and i think he manage to "find" it in his system... and best part? he asked for the number of the first card again!!!! and he repeated the cycle of all the verification again!!! i tot for the SMRT card, but no! it was for the 1st card and also the SMRT card... *o.m.g*.....

my guess? i think there were two "accounts" of my card in their system.. one is the old old one which he first found... and later when I provided my SMRT card number, he manage to trace to the latest "account"... how did that happen in the 1st place I'm not too sure... but i'm sure their system sucks... i'm just glad i have already cancel all my card with them and I do not have a savings account with them... i wonder will their system mix up the money inside too...

That day, he asked me whats on Keitsu's mind.... cos I haven't been updating my blog for a long long time... i guess mostly because office is still blocking vox... and also I'm so drained of energy these days... when I'm back home I just do the routine things... and I will be in bed early early.... no energy to blog... no energy to read books... no energy to do much things....

Anyway some updates...

We celebrated Mum's bday yesterday at Pu Tien restaurant.... Although I see my parents every week... but yesterday I kinda of suddenly realise that my parents have aged alot... there were so much white hair on their head.... I got kinda of emo... but yah I know its normal.. since they are already 60 and 57.... and I'm also approaching my 30s.... I'm just glad that they are still healthy and hope that they will remain so for more years to come...

And we caught a movie on Friday.... its been like months since I last stepped into the theatre.... we watched the "Astroboy Movie".... I would say it was pretty good.... I cried at the part where he realise that he was a robot and his "father" didn't want him any more... *awwwww*... and the part where his friends realise that he was a robot and didn't "want" him.... i came out of the theatre with red eyes... :P

Work have been progressing well so far... had my appraisal done for 2009... and some of the things my PM told me set me thinking.... what should be my priority... i guess i can't find the answer right now... and can't come to a conclusion.... with the unknown being unknown I guess I can only take it one step at a time.... leave the worries for the future? can i even plan or prep myself for it in the 1st place? mentally possible.. but without being there doing it, whatever mental preparation is only very limited....

I dunno why... I have been thinking about New Zealand these few days... probably because the pple around me are all going on holiday... :P I dunno why... i'm not thinking of going other countries but back to New Zealand... it wasn't a fantastic trip.. probably because I just miss the pace of life there?

anyway X'mas is coming!!! i really like this time of the year.... but I'm on a tight budget this year... and with my project team growing, its really difficult to get a gift for everyone... but again I really appreciated their help over the one year... so i'm still contemplating what to do... I have tot of baking some cookies for them.... but I know some of them don't really eat cookies... or maybe I should just leave it to my PM for the gift exchange... :P this year I didn't get my sis friends to make any scrapping stuff... so I guess I have to start shopping around for gifts le... :P I wonder if the mafians are holding any celebration this year...

Thats for now... I wonder when will i blog again?

My blog has been left unattended for a good long time... cause my office blocked Vox... oppps.... (what does this mean? :P)

Anyway, today when I login to my Gmail and realise that Gmail Chat is back, I decide to try out Vox.... and Viola, its not blocked.... i dunno if it is just temporary or permanant.... i hope its staying for good.... I miss blogging....

so much have happened in the past few months... so little energy to blog.... :(

長周末就這樣瞬間的過了。
因為他出國了，所以這個長周末並沒有什麼特別的節目安排。
待在家裡３天。

第一天，就一直猛睡覺。因為也沒什麼事好做。
第二天，開始看「絕對男友」。
第三天，看完了「絕對男友」。

就這樣，什麼也沒做的，過了一個寶貴的長周末。
感覺好像在虛度光陰。
浪費人生。

可是我又能做什麼呢？

Have always wanted to watch this "docu".... but never remembered when it was shown... so today, when i was having dinner just happen to switch to channel U and saw the show...

I must say... I'm afraid.... I look at the way they describe how "tian shan" glacier is melting away... and how the desert is expanding at a rate of 1/4 the size of singapore every year... i really worry for our next generation... will they have any more greenary? can they survive in such a condition?

so what can keitsu do?

There are a few things she tries to do:

1. Bringing her own bag when going groceries shopping... but there were also times where she forgot... and it does happen quite often...
2. keeping a "recycle bin" in her room.. she throws all paper packaging, letters, adverts etc into the bin... and where possible plastic bottles that can be recycled.
3. she tries to avoid printing unnecessary documents and tries to reuse the blank side of documents.
4. she switches off the power supply to her desktop at work on friday....

1. Not on her laptop the whole day on weekends, where she is not always using...
2. Convince more pple to take part in recycling... like her MIL....
