Season for resigning

I am quite shock to learn that one of my closet colleague/friend is going to resign so soon!!
Although, I have been expecting it as we have always exchange our thoughts, I thought it will
be some time later.
However, it is some thing good. I sincerely congratulate her on her move for the better.
Just wish that the next one is me! And my resignation wish is simple ; to leave with a
24 hours notice and packed off! No goodbyes , no lot of questions, no ‘must-have-it’
artificial farewell and some superficial speeches …… and pretending to be sad good byes.

I really don’t mind having farewell gatherings with my friends and not with some
fellows who are in it because it is a normal practice. Or am I having these thoughts
because I know that I am or maybe not liked by many in my dept? So in order to save
myself from disgrace in case there is no turn up in my farewell gathering that is why I
rather don’t have it? And also about the superficial speech to give? I am definitely not
a speaker at all and don’t speak well at all. What if I say the ‘wrong’ things ie.
Saying what is in my thoughts? Then half a dozen of people might want to strangle me!

Well, I just hope one day I will be able to do it especially the 24 hour-notice part.
I can just shed off all the donkey’s work immediately and walk off laughing aloud!
How I wish ………..it will happen real soon.

p.s. There are 3 person who have hand in their resignation this month.

Ghost Festival Month

Hungry Ghost Festival also known as the Ghost’s new year.


The Hungry Ghost festival started on 1st day until the 14th day of the 7th lunar month every year.
(Coincidently it is 1st of Aug to 14th Aug this year) to commemorate the dead. Paper or hell money and paper paraphernalia to the deceased be it related or non-related.

Food offerings , chanting and prayers were performed before paper money and paraphernalia were burnt for the deceased.
Not forgetting the homeless one , on the 14th day, paper money was burnt and food offerings were given to the wandering or ‘homeless’ spirits/souls in order to have a harmonized neighbourhood between the living and the dead.

Further to the story about HP the dog: she is having a phobia to enter the lift now.
It happened when she tried to follow my mom into the lift yesterday. As mom was carrying
a lot of things, she was unable to hold the lift for HP, the doors closed while
HP was entering the lift halfway.
It was proven today, when mom called her to follow us back to our flat. HP stopped right near
the lift, and while mom dragged her by the collar she just sat and wouldn’t move.
So dogs do experienced phobia too!

Having her beauty sleep

This pic was taken on the second day whereby she followed me without hesistation after the first encounter. Dropped to sleep for almost an hour before I 'woke' her up and led her 14 floors down the stairs.

Last week, I managed to 'lure' HP to my flat. I have been 'dreaming' up various ways of getting her to my flat (without getting any complaints) and came up with so many scenarios.

Everytime, she would just follow me and stopped about 1 metre away from the lift. No matter how I tried to 'call' or waved to her, she would just lean against the wall and wouldn't barge. Sometimes, she wouldn't even look at me and pretended not to hear me.

It happened unexpectedly that morning; she followed me across the street when I went over to the newspaper stall but I managed to 'lose' her for I would not want to get her into any trouble.

Later, when I walked back to my flat, she saw me and just followed me all the way until a metre away from the lift. This time around, when I waved to her, she came to me immediately but she stopped abruptly just right in front of the entrance of the lift. She sniffed and paused for a long time, seemed undecided until I pulled her collar and she stepped right into the lift.

When I let go of the 'open' button, she wanted to shot out of the lift but the doors closed right in front of her nose; nearly crushing her head. I was afraid that she panic so I pressed the button to open the doors again to let her out but she did not. So, I let the doors shut and up and up we went. I put my hand on her to calm her down just in case she panic. That's how I managed to get her to 'visit' my flat.
