Bloody 'Suei'

'Suei' in chinese means bad luck.. and I am bloody 'suei' last week and even till this morning.

Got a page at 3am today to support a case. 3am!! Was handling that until 6 something. Thought I better not go to sleep as I would probably not wake up until noon. Had to come to the office to do the most important thing for today... i.e. to pass over the pager to someone else! Well..also to return the support laptop la as we share this. Later when my boss gets in, I am going to ask for a day off. The stress really got to me.

I think I should get some pomelo leaves, soak them into water and bathe in them to 'buang suei' (throw away the bad luck).

I love Mondays (actually just this one)

Never had I looked so forward to a Monday as much as I have this week. I just can't wait to get rid of the pager along with my whole week of stress, sleepless nights and irregular heartbeats. I know it will eventually come back to me again, but at least I can get myself calmed down before that. According to the support schedule, it won't be my turn until next year!

I leave you with an upbeat song by Melanie C (of Spice Girls) titled Suddenly Monday... to reflect the upbeat mood that I am sure I will have tomorrow.

Squeaky Toys

Nice daddy bought Axel the pug some cute looking squeaky toys. Axel seems to enjoy them and now and then, will select one to torment. He does have one favourite though, the hippo.

When he made them squeaked, he seemed to get excited. He would then let go, then sink his teeth into them again. He would repeat this for a period of time creating this silence, squeak, silence, squeak, silence, squeak sound.

Hmm...rather sadistic, don't you think?

What? Me a sadist??
