One
Yoppo, Carrie and I went to Movieworld last month. It was one of the Energex’s company event. Most of the Disney’s characters did came out and strolling around the themepark that night.
After photo-shooting session with Scooby-Doo & friends, Fred from Scooby-Doo talks with me while Yoppo is taking pictures for his colleagues.
Fred: “Hi. Where do you come from?”
Me:” Malaysia.”
Fred: “Oh…do you like here?”
Me: “MovieWorld you mean?”
Fred: “Yea.Do you enjoy yourself tonight?”
Before I can reply him the third questions, Yoppo has approached us and he said,” She is my wife.”
I was like ???. I saw Fred went ??? too. Oh dear!!! Yoppo, that is so out-of-topic!
I asked him why. He said that he is possessive. *Funny*
Two
Yoppo and I attended Melbourne Cup Lawn Lucheon last two weeks. This time, it was one of my company’s events.
I was standing with Yoppo and we were taking. Donald, one of my colleagues, saw me from far and I waved to him. He came approached us then he gave me handshake, and a side-by-side-cheek-kiss. I was pretty shocked, probably due to too much alcholic and a sudden western greet. Shocked but not forgetting about the manner, I introduced Yoppo to him.
Donald: “I heard that you guys are going to get married?”
Yoppo: “No. Not going to. She has registered with me!”
I can feel that he went funny again. Perhaps I should be happy because he cares. But I find that he is funny more than I should be happy.

I was quite sick in last two weeks. It started with a headache, then fever comes and sorethroats, cough & flu joins in.
When I was really sick, Yoppo constantly boil chrysanthemum tea. One day when I just woke up from my rest, he asked if I feel comfortable with my Koala’s home slipper. I did not know what he means till he turned the slippers over.
Weee! There were two holes on each side of the slipper and now they are sewn. I did not throw it away because they are my favourite slippers. The garment he used to close up the holes and the stitches looks funny. But that really helps in recuperating.

For whatever tasks I accomplished at work, the accomplishments and the credits were never belonged to me. My manager took that all from me. He presented all my results/ analyzes/conclusions to my department manager by saying those were his work. No matter how hard I work, it turns up to be nothing for me.
That’s a crime on intellectual property! I want to file a claim from him! With people like him as my manager, I don’t think I can go any further in this company.
I have been confiding into Jas. Two options she suggested. One, go far far away from him. Two , leave the company. I already opt for the second one. Anyone who has any ideas on what to do for the time being, please 过两招 to me. I need that now, really.

There was one night in last month, through the phone mom said someone told her that I am suffering in here. She told me that she is upset about it. When she heard this, her heart sank. Mine either.
Why would people do this? I mean, why he/she comes to this conclusion saying that I am suffering? And what does he/she base on? I don’t get it. I guess it must be from my blog’s entries. I do realize that there is an entry about illustrating myself as a maid. I admit that I felt like a maid at that time but I don’t see as a negative thing because I know I am learning to take up a responsibility.
I also do realize that there is another entry saying I am not adapting to the working environment. Does anyone blend into the environment in just a week when they had a drastic change from Asian working environment to Caucasian working environment? Maybe other peoples do, but honestly I don’t.
If someday you really want to be a messager for me and my mom, try not to be too selective and just share my discomfort with her. Because that will make her worry. Also, please understand the fact that those downs are segments of life and discomfort is just the beginning of a new skill.
Meantime, I will also understand that I was the one who wrote those entries so I will bear the consequences. But that won’t change me. I gonna be truthful to my feelings.
Or maybe, if you really need to discuss about it, whatever it is, I am here to listen. ^.^
