The Rambling Continues

When someone that you love starts taking up a hobby, one that is a positive one, why not just encourage them?

The hubby always encourages me to try new things, like photography and sewing, so I think it is only fair that I encourage him on what he likes, right?

He wishes to own a super bike so that he could use them on the weekends or during his rare free time, and although I couldn’t buy it for him, I would sometime snap some pictures of the nice super bikes he likes if I happen to see any in town, or send him links to sites with super nice bike photos. It’s the least that I can do, haha.

And one day when he does own one, I wouldn’t mind going on a trip (though not a fast one, haha) on his bike to show him my support.

But when that time comes, do we need to install suv bike racks to his 4wd in order to put the bike in?

…

Anyways, speaking of bikes, there is one type of bike that I wouldn’t mind riding with him..

The tandem bike!

Romantic mah!

I just have to salute those who works in shopping complexes.

Not only do they work from 10am to 10pm (those without shifts, that is), but they also have to mostly stand up the whole time and serve customers! AND with a smile the entire time!

I certainly learned about this firsthand during my 2-day experience of working in the hubby’s shop during these CNY holidays.

There were A LOT of customers those past 2 days, and so not only was I the cashier, I was also serving customers, trying to sell the toys with whatever little knowledge I know of those products!

And who knew I could sell stuff! LOL!

However, I certainly did not like the way the customers not answering or at least acknowledging us with a smile when we greet them, but hey, I guess that’s life, huh? Not everyone likes to smile. And who are we to them? Nobody.. just strangers trying to sell you stuff.

But still, the world would be a much better place if people would smile more though, is what I think.

So after work was over yesterday, all I wanted to do was get home and sleep! I was totally exhausted. My knees and feet hurt from all those standing around; even when I wore my super comfy sandals around, my feet still hurts!

So anyways, I understand a little bit more now as to why the hubby always comes back home feeling really tired and just wanting to go to bed straight away.

Don’t you wish you can have that certain yummy dessert at any time, anywhere?

If you said yes, then you definitely must check out this cheesecake site, where they have a variety of cheesecakes that you can order! And the best thing about it is, they also do delivery for cheesecake to whomever you want, wherever you want! Isn’t that awesome?!

If only someone would send me a cheesecake delivery, especially during those low times (or even for Valentine’s..?), I would sure be a happy camper!

*cough* Hubby *cough*

One more week to the Chinese New Year holidays! Have you guys planned your vacation yet?

How I wish we could rent one of those rv vehicles and just go for a roadtrip.. maybe to Sandakan..? We’ve always wanted to do that together; it just happened yet. But using our own car wouldn’t be so bad too, right? At least we wouldn’t have to worry about whether the rv repairs shop would be open or not. Hehe.

But I know that (or any holiday plan) won’t be happening this coming CNY for us, because the hubs had already told us that he would be working during both the 1st and 2nd day of CNY.

So that means.. no CNY celebration, and no visiting people’s houses this year.

I was definitely put to the test recently.

Organising and in charge of buying (as cheapest as possible) air tickets for a whole group, and getting everyone in the group to agree unanimously was definitely not an easy task.

Which airline to get, which days and time to depart, which hotel to stay, mode of transportation to go around.. imagine doing this for a few groups of around 10 pax a group on average. Pening!

To top if off, after amending the air ticket dates to different date, I was told by the airline staff that everything was A-Okay. So imagine my shock when I called them up a few days later asking for the new ticket itinerary, the departure flight was different from the one I requested!

So arguments after arguments, and being on the phone with them for days from morning until evening, the matter was still not settled, and with a lawsuit was just waiting to be processed, I was just told to change their flight to another flight AND pay the penalty fee PLUS the airfare difference.

Not our fault, so why should we have to fork out for the extra money right? So screwed up.

And other people asking for you to help buy their air tickets left and right non-stop, I actually broke down and cried at the office. I was just too stressed up. Luckily I had my own room, so my colleagues couldn’t see me.

Plus barging me with calls even on holidays asking me to check on their air tickets and other demands over the phone, using my own phone to call out? I don’t think so. Thanks to these inconsiderate people, I will now turn off my cell phone on weekends.

And asking me to do reports over the weekend? What am I, a report engine and that I have all the info needed stored in my head?

To top if off, after everything is done, there wasn’t even a thank you said to me for organising all these strangers’ holiday trips.

Sure makes you feel unappreciated, eh?

I’m so ready to call it a day on this job.

I had dinner with the family last night, and one of the stories dad told us was that big bro and SIL brought them to Kasih Sayang Resort and to another road so steep earlier that day, and they had to use the low gear just to drive down!

“Almost like Kimanis road!” he said, excited. Not sure if they used the lookalike truck gps tracking device on the car or not, though. I don’t think they went very far away from town that they need to use it.

The he asked me, “Does your car have a low gear? Because if not, you can’t bring your car there!”

Now that’s a good question.

I’ve never noticed the gears on my car, but isn’t all standard auto gears go from L-2-3-D-N-R-P? Meaning L for low gear lah right?

Must make it a point to study it when I drove home this evening. LOL.
