After all the thanksgiving fun, it was rather hard to get the biological clock to start operations at 6am! Yet, it has to be done. It was my first day at work! For this year of the Rooster.
Last night I spoke to a friend, lamenting on the fact that we have yet to receive our bonus. Rather sad….considering the fact that everyone needed the additional cash to make Chinese New Year a little bit more auspicious that what the Rooster can offer! Yet, our mother hen decided to pay naught a single sen yet!!!
After ten days of zzzzz, more zzzz and a lot of partying with friends and relatives, it is rather hard to swallow the fact that I shall be going back to the grind today! For an impulsive moment, I wanted to send an sms to darling boss and say that I want to quit! I want to quit working and bum around. Realistically, that will probably be blissful for a few weeks before I drive myself crazy with idleness!
In I walk at 7.15am…saw my colleague….greeted her “gong hei fatt choy”…laughed ….saw another colleague…waved and smiled and greeted…and continued smiling the whole morning! A bloody wonderful start to a I-get-the-feeling wonderful new year! At 7.15am, I am back to my bubbly self again! And DAMN, it felt good to be back at work!!!
And the good news kept coming.
Apparently, I came back in time for a Chinese New Year luncheon at Mandarin Oriental.
Bonus will be out real soon!!!!! MUAHAHHAHAHAH….this bloody hell makes me happy. UK is so bloody near now!
Darling boss gave me an ang pow….FULL STOP! I shall not elaborate more than to say that it was hefty.
Met friends for lunch. Bloody good to have seen them again! Miss my friends in this industry all together! Found myself warming up to a friend whom I once thought was a stuck up bastard. Now, I feel that the friendship is building in tiny particles…but what the heck, at least it is building right?
MrM called …. Arranging for our trip to Singapore next week!! YIPPIE!!!
Damn it! Today has been perfect to the tee!

Feb 16 2005….Hokkien clan rule this day! Kepong put the whole city to shame with such an extravagant display of fireworks…..it was the Birthday of God of Heaven. To most Hokkien descendents, this day of thanksgivings is the crux of Chinese New Year, overwhelming the importance of first lunar day of the Chinese calendar i.e. first day of Chinese New Year!
Happy Birthday God of Heaven!
If any of you have never experience this ceremony either in Kepong or Klang, I beg of you…..go and make some new friends who are specifically Kepong Hokkiens or Klang Hokkiens. If they are not, dump them and find someone who is of this identity! Also, specifically mention that you WANT to be invited to their open house during the next thanksgiving! Trust me when I say that it is a rather worthwhile experience to say the least!
Enough said. Next year, pls call me for an experience of a life time!
