The March End

As the month ends, we look upon the upcoming month of new things and new experiences.Sin and Wong have gone over to PPWC. In their place Hasli and Wang have come over to PH. As neither of them possess a class 3 licence(or any other licence for that matter),it looks like I have to be the one going out and doing PE inspections from now on.
Yvonne also joins us. She will help to lighten the load of Ai Khim, Ko Koh and Dr Ali. Lyn also returns from her 3 month maternity leave. At the same time Mr Yong is on leave until his imminent retirement. All things being said, he was the glue that kept the various volatile elements of PRB together. Without his presence it will be interesting to see how the egos here get along. As a consequence of Mr Yong not being around, Mrs Yong (aka the Wild Bitch) will be playing a bigger part in the day to day running of the section. PRB, being the ugly step child, will probably be overturned as she seeks to mould it into her image. Gonna be interesting days ahead...

ICT from the 10th onwards. That means I have only 6 days to prepare Wang and Hasli for their work. So alot will depend on Hasli. And Ai Khim. I do not know what to expect from this ICT. A new unit and new friends to make.

Today and tomorrow will be striving to sell off the remaining hamheads.

Later we will be going to see the adoption dogs at East Coast and then catch a movie , Mr Bean's Holiday. Then maybe dinner and home for time with the bunnies.

Agnes not been well throughout this week.She should take better care of herself. Me too. I had the flu. So been feeling miserable. The medications I got also make one drowsy. But at least the runny and blocked nose is gone.

Was planning to take time off for a little holiday to take advantage of the Good Friday holidays long weekend. We both needed a well deserved break and thought of going up to Malacca or some place like that. Then it dawned upon us that we had already booked our tickets for the Phantom on the 7th which means we can't do it without having to make a quick rush up and back to make it on time. So we will enjoy ourselves in Singapore. Surely we can find worthwhile things to do. We still have a long list of To-Do things that we just cant find the time to do.

oh..and did I mention I got promoted? Ko Koh and Sin too. Think it is a just reward for all the hard work,dedication and effort we have put into our work. With this promotion I have jumped the bar(and hoops too) to a division II officer. The pay raise is meagre at best(to me). But better than nothing. At least it shows my hard work is paying off somewhat. Which makes me wonder about my plans to quit and start my own business when I seem to be doing well in my career. Just got a 1 month performance bonus. The highest amongst my group of colleagues. There is also talk about a pay increment in a couple of months time. Not sure if I should stay and enjoy these benefits, or go out and strike it on my own.

Amazing Grace...how sweet the sound...that saveth a wretch like me...twas blind, but now I see...

Things that are outstanding:

- we have yet to plan or set a date for our return trip to the infamous Jewel Box.
- paste the new car decals and take down the old ones
- watch a movie other than TMNT (which rocks btw)
- pay my phone bill
- submit my photo for my membership card to AAS
- buy bedding for the rabbits
- read the rabbit books I borrowed from the library
- watch the DVD's I bought with my dar dar
- bring all my old magazines to the office
- change my bedsheets
- change the bedding for the hamsters and rabbits

Not been well again these last few days. The flu bug has hit again. Yesterday it was real bad. My nose was running like a tap almost. Today is much better. Agnes has been bugging me to go and see the doctor about it, but I have been self medicating so far. Maybe if things do not improve tomorrow I will go and see the doc.



Watched TMNT yesterday. Not bad the best of the 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies thus far. This was how they should have done the other 3. Animatronics is so passe. A good fun movie that I would recommend to anyone to watch.

Rating:4 heroes in a half shell out of 5

Looking for some way to shield the bunnies from the elements. Mainly the heat from the sun and the rain. Too bad they have to be outside because of the cats. Maybe I can change the orientation of the cage to be against the wall rather than against the table. That way there is some allowance between the cage and the the outside elements. Saw a lorry sized sun shiled at Carrefour which may be a way to go. But that in and of itself would only be a stop gap solution. Am looking into something more permanent....

Places I want to visit someday:

I am really into nature, history and culture so the places I wanna go to would almost have to have all 3 things.

GREECE/Athens- one of the truly beautiful countries. Wonderful architecture and history abounds...


Turkey/Istanbul- a melting pot of east and west.


Israel-My favourite place.

Egypt/Cairo- Another country that is so filled with history.


Grand Canyon- one of the natural wonders of the world


Niagara Falls- acclaimed to be the most romantic place on earth.


Antarctica- to watch migrating whales


Africa- not sure where exactly on the Dark Continent. Maybe South Africa. To watch animals roaming free in the various national parks.


Paris- the city of lights


Rome- to do as the Romans do


Angkor Wat


Penang- Only because I have never been there

Sarawak- heard so many good things. have to go.

Sure there are more, but I will stop here for now...
