Job Change Woes
Published on Wednesday, April 30, 2008 by WishBoNe Trying to change jobs can be tough. It took a friend of mine a year to totally change hers. It's going to take a whole lot tougher for my case as I'm seen as someone who is more of a technical person due to my IT background than a writer. Perhaps I'm hoping for too much but rejection from the same company twice is too much for my ego. I believe I have the talent for ... Read More »

An Open Letter to HSBC
Published on Monday, April 28, 2008 by WishBoNe Dear HSBC, Thank you for your enthusiasm in getting your agency to contact me so that I can receive a credit card from you. The first time, I applied, I was rejected. No reason given. Fine. Thus, I decided that it wasn't worth the effort of contacting your staff to verify why. The second time, I was contacted about a few months later by one of your agency that I was... Read More »

Day 3: Lasik Recovery
Published on Monday, April 28, 2008 by WishBoNe I'm seeing less clouds now. Although I am resisting the tendency to rub my eyes with each itchiness attack on the eye lids. Using the eye drops at regular intervals is a little difficult when I'm out. However, I have to be consistent for a month. This two weeks will be critical for my recovery from the operation. The second review will be coming up next and I hope my... Read More »

Day 2: 1st Lasik Review
Published on Sunday, April 27, 2008 by WishBoNe I woke up this morning unable to open my eyes due to the dried tears clustered on my eyelids. Terrible. I blinked a few times to get them to open a bit and finally managed to after a while. I needed to clean my eyelids with the eye swaps soon. Image via Wikipedia Took a while to get rid of the dried tears and my eyelids were swollen, ouch. At least I looked decent e... Read More »

Day 1: Lasik Evaluation and Operation
Published on Sunday, April 27, 2008 by WishBoNe I arrived late at the MRT due to my animated talk with my youngest brother. Was supposed to meet HF at 9am at the platform. She arrived at 8.54am while I was just packing to get out of the house. Oh my. I half-ran to the station and managed to meet her at the escalator. Image via Wikipedia We proceeded towards our station for the eye evaluation for Lasik at Paragon ... Read More »

Walking Milo Ad
Published on Thursday, April 24, 2008 by WishBoNe I'm a walking Milo advertisement for today. No, I am not wearing green. Neither am I wearing its T-shirt. I had simply spilled half a cup of good Milo over the desk, chair, top and pants. The trip didn't start well either. The train I took was silent. It didn't announce the stations, even if it did, it was too soft. Something told me that I would miss my stop. I did. ... Read More »

Meme: Whatever is This Supposed to Be?
Published on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 by WishBoNe I shall have to think of why some one thought of the idea of meme. It's freaking scary because of the huge numbers of ways they can come up with just to get to know the inner you. *shudders* Thanks to modobs, my love thinker, I have one strange meme to do. Not as if it's the first time though. My roommate and I once … what roommate? Never in my life have I done a... Read More »

The Management Has Been Right for 40 Years an...
Published on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 by WishBoNe I am seriously wondering if there is something wrong. Or perhaps, nothing is wrong. It's just that when one has the power or authority for more than 40 years, one tend to be led into thinking that it can be used in any way and the powers that be should never, ever, be doubted. Are we doubting it now? Perhaps. Since all these years, it has never, ever, said it was wro... Read More »

My Ex-Boss: Professor Manager
Published on Friday, April 18, 2008 by WishBoNe I used to have this manager who treated us very well. He would also be environmental conscious, which is very rare for a company although it is ISO 9001 certified. There was once we had to keep some keys temporarily and he produced clear plastic bag from magazines. The ones that magazines are kept in for sending. Our jaws dropped. He has a mean streak when playing ba... Read More »

Convocation Family Portrait
Published on Monday, April 14, 2008 by WishBoNe It took me a few rounds of phone calls before finding a studio that had a free slot before 3pm. Of all days, it had to rain. Heavily. I settled on Gloria Photo Studio in the end as it was able to have a slot before 3pm. The photographer was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. Even the brother who loved to give stern faces for each and every family photo smile... Read More »
