valentine presento
Posted by: sherry on: February 9, 2009
V-Day is coming soon. Any ideas what sort of gift for your significant other on this Valentine’s day yet? How about this special rose? Better than the real rose itself cos….
the real rose withers away meaning love is slipping away
plastic rose does not withers away but love may be fake
this special rose does not withers away and not plastic fake
but spice up your loving union… 
rose rose open sesame and tada, becoming ……. a sexy undergarment!
economy recession

Every headlines, every forwarded emails are really negative these days – news about the downward-spiralling global economy, the never-ending wars in Gaza, job lay-offs, pay cuts and even safety tips!! Ya know, nowadays I’m quite afraid to drive to places alone at night. My friend got mugged the other evening (7 something, after work) whilst she stopped at the traffic lights. A man in a motorbike smashed her passenger window and took her belongings. She had some scratches on her hands (luckily not her face) due to the flying broken glasses. She was in shocked. Sigh! When economy is bad, people lose their job and some people are capable of hurting another just for living and survival.
What lies ahead in the year of 2009 does not look very rosy. Switching job or career change have to take a back seat even though what i have now is not my dream job. A colleague told me several times not to make a hasty decision to resign last year and I have to admit he was right. All those bad news has become a reality in the year of 2009, the year of ox. An acquaintance told me that in the month of february his company will announce d’ layoffs list. He hope his name is not in the list as his wife is expecting their third child this year. Another news is that many companies are having 3-4 work days and 1-2 days deduction from their annual leave. When there is no more leave left, it’s pay deduction for the non-working days.
Thus far, nothing of that sorts happening to my team, we are still able to claim overtime and have free delicious lunches delivered from outside to us during our hectic days. My current job is more routine, less satisfying, too easy and involves simpler programming skills. My previous job was challenging and very fulfilling, it allows me to be creative and the projects are usually big, plus i have more “power” or authority in my previous employment. This economic downturn thing has spoiled my plan for career change. I was angry and unhappy and distracted until two days ago. I learned from a wise friend that despite whatever else 2009 may bring, I should change and be more optimistic and enthusiastic. These are the keys to have a clear mind, staying focus to see through the dark gloomy economy clouds. I supposed I need to be thankful for at least being employed. Other people may want my easy job.
On the last note, do you know that the year of Ox seemed to be THE YEAR of economic recession? 1973 and 1985 was the year of a worse economic downturn and they are the year of oxes. Coincidence?

boo hoo… in crutches
Posted by: sherry on: January 18, 2009
Sprained my ankle last Friday on the 9th January. I saw my ankle swell, growing like balloon right before my eyes! It was bloody painful and I couldn’t walk or even stand properly. Rushed to Lam Wah Ee Hospital and luckily no obvious bone fracture according to x-ray. Phew! But I would need crutches to move around.
Hmm, 2009 doesn’t seem like a good year for me. Do you know that I slipped and fall on the new year day? 9 days later, *boom* I fall again and this time I couldn’t pick myself up and needed 2 people to “walk” me. Damn! Read the rest of this entry »

To new beginnings
Posted by: sherry on: November 30, 2008
if you are a dreamer, come in.
if you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
a hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer…
if you are a pretender, come sit by my fire,
for we have some flax golden tales to spin.
come in!
come in!

Her handphone sound at seven. She woke up and her hand automatically went to her phone to switch the alarm off. She went through her daily routine like a dream. Her car caught in the jam after the bridge toll. She pushed and squeezed her way out at the crowded area almost like in automation. At work, she knows she must not lose too, she will not allow anyone to pin her down. She must keep running to win in this rat race called life.
Till one day she woke up. She threw her handphone and smashed it into pieces. She smiled as she lay back on her bed. She smiled as she decided not to inform her boss that she was not coming to work that day. She smiled thinking of the things she wanted to do on that day.
Tomorrow she had to buy a new handphone. Perhaps the HTC Touch 3G phone she had always been dreaming of. But that was tomorrow, another day. Today was her day and nothing would come in her way today. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath in relaxation. She opened her eyes.
Finally she realized, that she was in a dream and today was Sunday.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written for this blog, more than 5 months to be exact. As you can see, I’ve removed all the old posts. Don’t ask me why, I just felt like it.
Anyways, to new beginnings…… Cheers!
