Fruit Cake

On Chap Goh Mei, I did not went to any lake to see people throwing mandarin instead my brother suggested to make fruit cakes which last time I did before. It is for my brother's friend farewell cake. We might not make as nice as the cake shops but I think the taste not bad. On that night after work, we wanted to have a simple dinner but then my mother called and said that daddy wanted to have dinner with us(me, Ah Wah and korkor). So we went to Desa Petaling to have dinner with my mother, daddy, aunty, brother and sister. That dinner took so long to be ready. When we finished our dinner it was like 9.10pm. I am afraid that we won't make it that night because we still have not bought the ingredients yet. We rush to Mid Valley hopefully we can buy all the ingredients that I wanted.
The first supermarket that came to my mind is Carrefour. We bought everything that we need there except for the most important one that is ovalette (sponge cake stabilizer). We have no choice but to ran to Jaya Jusco to see whether they have that or not. Luckily they got sell if not don't know what have become to the cake. Although the steps to make the cake looks simple. If you do not have experience you will have hard to time to figure out what to do next. So I am the instructor and I have 2 assistant that is Ah Wah and korkor. The first step is we bake the sponge cake first then only we cook the custard. We pour the custard onto the cake then finally the fruits arrangement and then at the end is the jelly topping. It was not easy yet not very hard. This time we did a very successful cake. Image as below. And the taste is nice not too sweet. ;)

MP4 Player

On my Valentine's Day this year, me and Ah Wah did not have any special dinner. But both of us took the money that we wanted to spend on dinner to buy a MP4 Player. On that special day both of us went to Low Yat Plaza to have a browse on which model we like. we bought one "STORM" MP4 Player. But went back, there is some error. So we took back to the office and change for a new one. But I do not wanted that model anymore because it is quite new model so they do not know got any problem or not. So I took another model. Not bad. It have camera also. Although not as good as digital camera but better than my phone camera.

Mickey Mouse

Today my roborovski hamster died. There goes both of them. I really felt guilty and bad on how I treat my hamster. I am really sorry that I neglected you. My hamster died of dehydration(thirsty). When I found out that it is dead I am still wondering how come so suddenly die wan? Because the tray there got plenty of food. But when I saw that there was no water in the water bottle. Then I felt so sad for my hamster. I am really a bad master. I wanted to get a new pair of hamster that I can bring it out to play with because the previous pair of hamster, they are too hyper active if they ran away I won't be able to catch them back. I wanted to get a new pair that is more decent and cute. But I am not sure whether wanted to get a new pair or not because I am afraid that I will neglect them again. Sigh. I am really really sorry for not taking good care of both of you. Gomen. :(

Am I that fat?

Do I looks like 70kg?
I am really sad when today during lunch my boss said I am 70kg. What the? Anyhow see also doesn't seems like 70kg. I know I have gain weight. But not that serious. I already gain from 50kg to 53.8kg. My uncle weight for me yesterday in his clinic. Digital somemore. Should be more accurate right. I just couldn't believe how I can gain such a weight. I try to slim down but to no success in it. Now I am skipping my breakfast because last time studying I can't eat breakfast early in the morning. So now I skip my breakfast. But people said breakfast is the most important meal for the whole day. But I can't skip lunch nor dinner so I sacrifice my breakfast. ;)
My uncle somemore said I am underweight. He ask me to gain more weight to be healthy. OMG!!! Gain somemore I will be crying leh. I think I need to do more exercise such as jogging, sit up or playing badminton and etc. What do you say?

Story Books

I have already finished reading the book "One for My Baby" by Tony Parson for like 2 months already. I wanted to get a new story book but I just don't know what books to go after. I would like to search for books that contain love stories or romance but just don't want those sexual description. Any recommendation? Have no idea what kind of books to get hold of? Reading story books can really improve myself. This is what I think. Last time when studying I don't think I am that keen to read story books but now I think I am more keen to find something to read.

Today's Entry

Hmmm... I think it is not a good day. Early in the morning, I wake up at 8am to go to work. In the toilet, I roll a toilet paper into smaller size so that I can sqeeze it into my nostrils. And guess what, my left nostril is bleeding. This is not the first time it happens. Last time my left nostril bleed but actually it never stop bleeding. It is not like those movie, the nose bleeding so seriously. My nostril is bleeding innerly. And every morning the same thing. Blood inside my nostrils. Then one month back, until my right nostril bleeding but the left nostril did not bleed. But this month until my left hand side. You must be thinking...why so many problems de your nose? Haha.... Those friends that is close to me, they actually know that I can't sleep in air-cond room. If not my nose will have difficulties in breathing. So I took MC today. I called Shui Fen thought of can chat with her and she also can accompany me to my uncle clinic but unfortunately she have class today until 5pm. But its okie, I can manage to go to my uncle's clinic on my own. Just that scared of lonely. ;P
Okie finish with my nostril now another thing that happens today. After I came out of my uncle clinic, my colleague called me on my handphone and told me that my office being broken into. But actually cannot say broken into. The thing about my office is we have a grill door and a wooden door. Normally if we are in the office, we lock the grill door and the wooden door left unlock. The purpose is when despatch came to our office to deliver documents, they can squeeze the documents thru the grill and we do not need to open door for them to come in. For our safety purpose. And for our easiness, actually there is a key on the tray for us. When my colleague went out for lunch, they lock the grill door only left the wooden door unlock. The reason is because most of the staff do not have the wooden door key. I don't know whether this is the management problem or really our staff problem. When my collegue left for lunch at 1pm with my boss, a burglar came in and stole 2 cameras, one infrared distance detector(i think this is how they call it) and my drawer RM22. Sob sob my money. Damn it. And when my boss came back together with my colleagues found out that all our office desk drawer left unclose. Then he straightly said my collegue why she did not close the wooden door. Normally he is there seeing us lock the door, he did not advise us to lock the wooden door. When got something unfortunate happen that time, then only scold. But anyway I believe it is easy for us to catch the burglar because my office is equipped with CCTV. And only despatch boy that came to my office before only will know that we have a key on the tray that he can reach.
When came to say about my boss, I am very tulan with him leh. Every month we have to submit government service tax. So last month, the dateline to submit the government service tax is on 28th of every month. From early of the month, I have to check so many reports, bind and even send it out. I really have no time to do other things. On the 25th January, only I have free time to prepare the GST(government service tax). So I rushed to complete it before 28th so that I can submit on that day itself. 28th falls on Monday. So on the 26th January falls on Satuday. And that day, we work only half-day. So I still have a bit before I complete the form. On Monday I came to office at 7.30am but the office still close. Because I thought that office will open early because on Monday, Wednesday & Friday, we have cleaner that came early to clean the office. So when I went there, the office was close. So I went to my mother house to wait. And I message my boss that I need him to open the office for me to complete the GST. You know what he message me that time is 8.40am. And by the time he sms me, I already driving from my mother house to office. And the terrific part is I reach there earlier than him. That means no need to wait him larh. That is already office hour leh. That day afternoon he have meeting so he have to go meeting and won't be able to sign the cheque. And on Friday I call the kastam department, the staff there said that on Monday they will open until 10pm that day. Then I told my boss that. Then on Monday, he ask me are you sure the kastam office open until 10pm at night. So to make sure I call again, and this time the girl said the counter close at 3.45pm. And that time my watch shows 3pm. So I message him. And when he rush to office 3.10pm. He scold me what you know.
  • How come you said the kastam office open until 10pm and now you said the cashier counter close at 3.45pm?
    Eh... It is not my problem okie. The first time I ask that guy say 10pm mar then later that bitch says until 3.45pm. And later when I reach the kastam office, there is a notice written there that day they open until 10pm. Mother. My boss when he read the notice then he says how come just now you didn't ask them properly. You must tell them that day some guy says open until 10pm mar. If really later they confirm is 10pm close. Will he risk the money? Because if late payment will get a fine of 10% of the GST.
  • Next time you have to find some time to complete the GST before 28th.
    It is not I wanted to drag until reach dateline only do. It is that his daugther said that the report must send out by when and when. So you thought 2 admin clerk can do how many works. Somemore they raise valuer salary by RM300 and we admin clerk by RM200. Why the difference? We are not hardworking enough mar? Somemore valuer they can so their own things when doing inspection also what....who knows.
  • You definitely can do GST in between your works.
    Hello...he have not done it before definitely is easy for him to say so lorh. If I do half way and stop there, then I don't know where I stop. I have to find out where I stop only I can start. That is a waste of time. I don't like to do two times work.

I am just expressing my opinion here. I just sometimes felt uncomfortable but I meant no harm here. Just expressing nothing much. And I am those type of people expressing is the way to release my anger. ;)

But I know that my current employer are really good employer but no doubt human are ain't 100% perfect. If I have any problems, they are willingly to help us out. Just that because it is a family company sometimes family politics is in the office environment. You know something like my boss ask me to do this but the daughter ask me to do other things. And which one will you do first. Both also URGENT. But I am really fortunate to be able to work in this company. Less stress and good colleagues where else other place will have those with golden finger. Just to express what I am not happy with only. Pros and cons working in this company.
