Last day of work in my place ... in low profile

Friday was my last day in my old work place. There was no much fanfare about my leave. All my subordinates were still busying with their work.

I was still busy clearing old emails and papers that i piled up over the year. I should feel sad but i was not totally upset. All those postings to new places over the years have made me immune to this situation

I walked around looking at my subordinates...

Finally, the clock struck 6pm, my subordinates were eager to be released from work. Only a handful wished me good fortune in my new workplace. I have been wondering whether i have done my work.

My leaving of this place remained low profile... Sad.

Chinese New Year Plants

Chinese New Year is 1week from now. Everywhere is filled with CNY spirit. Economy is not doing well and everyone is worry for the job, but there is a saying, lian lian nan kuo, lian lian Kuo.

This year, i have decided to bring some flowers and plants to fill my house with CNY flavour. Bought 2 red flowers plants ($8 for 2 pots) from Sheng Shiong, 1 chrysanthemum plant ($6per pot) and a mu dan plant ($10). I did my part to spend so that others can have some earnings for CNY.

I repot the plants and also give my exisiting plants some fresh soil. Have attached a picture showing my happy plants.

Freed at last!!!!

Finally freed from home..

Yesterday, while i was repotting new plants which i bought from Sheng Shiong at ten mile junction, my house main door slam. i was inside the house when the door slammed hard. This was not the first time the door slammed hard as there was continual blowing of stong wind. I tried to open the door and found it was stucked. I tried to prise open the door but failed as there was anything i could pull from inside of the door.

I phoned my cousin, Jianxiong, for help. He was seeing doc at blk 259. While waiting for JX, i investigate what caused my door to stuck? Initially, I thought it was due to faulty lock. Alas, my door jammed by the door stopper which went in between the gap. JX came and pounded on mydoor. The door did not move. His efforts was in vain. Jianxiong approached my neighbour help. Finally after some attempting to dig the stupid door stopper, i was free!!

Thanks to JX and my neighbours (thought i dont know their names)

I have attached a picture showing the scratch marks made by my neighbour's screw driver
