fulfilling promises

Last sun had a company lunch at MBS Todai restaurant. Actually there is 2 days to choose from. 1 at MBS Todai on Sun & another is at Marina Aquamarine on Sat. Chose d MBS cos tt sun more free.

S dear gotta work & couldnt go, though only I eat foc, he wished to go too but too bad. However, he seemed really keen & was like quite disappointed tt he couldnt go. & so I promised to treat him thr when he isnt workin.

& there I go again though jus 6 days apart to treat him today aft his class & we r really filled to d max w alaska crabs (red crab, snow crabs & king crabs), sashimi (tuna & salmon) & many others. & dear is v satisfied w his meal today. :)

Oso cos tt time he was unwell & d royce chocolate was expiring, I finished up but promised to get for him when he's well. It'd been actually like 2 mths since but I nvr get chance to buy. Since we r at mbs, we went to buy 3 diff boxes of royce chocolate. I m so glad I m able to keep & fulfil all my promise. Hehe.

a long long post

It is actually almost 2 months since i last update again. Times felt jus too short s usual. But w d change of job, it seems even shorter. Unlike workin in research lab, though thr could ve many experiments concurrently tt lunch may seems difficult, there may b times for ownself when durin some incubation, etc. However tt may not b applicable for all working in d lab. Mayb cos i was jus a staff rather than a graduate student, so my ex-boss nvr push me to read scientific journal & to think alot for new ideas though thr may b at times. Nw, work is really work. No time to pause or relax. D only time would b lunch. Ya. Thr r times i m alone for lunch but i would choose not to eat & go back immediately cos tt would b my lunch break. If i m back in office, other ad hoc tasks can come, ppl may need to purchase things or i b ask to cx on certain things which may disrupt wat i had to do & wat i planna do. It s really a challenge but so far i m cool w it though i was told i face weird or funny situation which my colleague who was in charge of wat i m doin also nvr face b4. i m really takin it s a learnin opportunity.

I oso must remain my cool & use some thoughts to deal w certain ppl. Ppl which could b guess by many others. Lol. D only thing i don like is tt my precious time is wasted due to tt certain gp of taichi great grandmaster & grandmasters cos i put in effort to cx in details. & i m really afraid cos of tt, i would ve to rush my other tasks & end up w many mistakes which i m not surprise if it really happened some day.

Durin work, time is limited. Aft work time is oso limited. Cos i can spent hrs a day on travelling & back hm, will still need find time for chores, assist dear if he need for his studym & oso need to try go back at least every weekend to my parents' place & even in-laws too. so really still feel lack of slp s ever. Mayb worse cos i always couldnt open my eyes while dear drive me to work. But though tired, i will try to rush all d chores at 1 go so tt i can try to catch some rest ltr on.

Jus last sat, while dear's at work in d afternoon, i practically did all d chores before headingback to dine w my parents. Also cos sun got staff lunch at MBS. Was actually plannin wat ti do aft i got hm & i expect to get home by 3. Was plannin for a nap, den sew dear's pants & serve d net awhile & watch drama. In d end only reached hm at 5.30 & couldnt do much. At least the lunch was fun.

Anw this week is a week of feast. Sun buffet at MBS Todai restaurant,  today a colleague's farewell lunch. & think fri thr is another lunch fo dk wat. But this is oso a week of deadlines... & I m glad I bought back an email to read & drafted out my JD form last night. Or I think I m really behind time. But it will stilk b a no no to bring work hm unless necessary. So far able to manage to cope on time though I may reply mail late.

I m nw tryin to save my leaves too. Think will wipe out all accumulated leaves in mid june cos b gg Europe. 1st time to travel to d 'west'. Though I don shop & nvr go for branded stuff, heard fr many tt d bags thr r cheap. But still no time for me to try do some research. Jus tot of getting cos since all d way thr & somemore it b so much more ex in sg s always heard fr ppl. So b wasted if I don right. But of cos not anyhow soend la.

My parents b gg taiwan & hk durin similat period & my dad asked me to help jom check-in to d airplane via online while I m at work & I never do b4, & w no info, & w criteria tt don fit fr d online check-in FAQ page. Great. Wat a wonderful task & timing.

Actually, at work, I realized parents always seem to be too reliant on their kids esp for all tech savvy issue & etc. I really hope I can keep up w at least d major trend sp I can jus rely on myself only in future. Cos I do ve d feelin impatiency & grumpyness when my parents assumed I noe it all & should & must help them & they may even b unhappy when I dk. Like s though I don wanna help & jus give excuses.  It is really not a nice feeling of d 'kid' lo. & I hope tt isnt wat my dad felt again this time wgen I told him I dk & need him to cx details so tt may I can try better but definitely not durin work.
