Counting Crows

Do you utilise the whole 24 hours in a day? A friend asked me this question, and it got me thinking. Ok, lets see... On normal weekdays:

• Sleep   =   6.5 hrs


• Get ready for work   =   30 mins


• Travel to work   =   45 mins to 1 hr


• Work + lunch   =   8.5 hours


• Travel to home   =   45 mins

Total time spend in a day doing routine stuff = 17 hrs


Wah! I only have 7 hrs left to myself for chores, etc? That's an eye opener.

Lunch After-Effect

Sometimes I wonder if there is a way to stay awake after lunch? Perhaps, not do lunch at all?? But that will lead to a whole other thing e.g. gastric, stomach ulser, etc. I feel so sleepy and wish I could zzz off for a few hours *sigh*

OMG !!

At last, I manage to create my very own blog template. It's not perfect, but it is all mine!! muahahahaha.

A new word learnt today, by accident that is. I was discussing with one of my bosses about his boxes of papers / rubbish that he dumped into another workstation the last time he moved office. I am to call our admin dept to get it cleared out for a new guy who is coming in next week. So, this boss was telling me "All this packing is rather cathartic". My reply was "Yeah, I can tell." With those 4 magic words, I managed to impressed him. He thought I actually know the meaning of cathartic. In fact, he said, he believes I'm the only secretary / admin staff who knows the meaning, even some "Sr Manager" do not know there is such a word.

*s h ! t*

Seriously, I don't. But I can gauge what it meant by the conversation we were having. I thought it meant either messy or tiring. So, because I do not want to look stupid now, as I'm suppose to know what it meant, I went on a quest to look it up. As my little Oxford dictionary words are limited, I went to Kinokuniya during lunch to get a peep of the word in other bigger and more powerful dictionary. Alas, I could not find it. Perhaps because I do not know the correct spelling. I should have trusted the internet to find the word right, because when I went back to my workstation, I found it at Dictionary.com .

So people, today you have learnt a new word. Please use it wisely! *wink*

La La La La

What an uninteresting lunch. I ate alone at my workstation coz me lunch buddy have to go to some birthday-lunch-thingy. I thought of getting some stationery but decided not to. Instead I went straight to 1901 to get a yummy bite of new york hotdogs. So, here I am, blogging for no reason.

Has anyone completed filing their income tax form B yet? I've done my part, just to go look for some receipts to get rebates for books and PC purchase. Unlike my DH who is ever so disorganize. I'm quite sure we will be fined this time coz we haven't filed our taxes for the past 2 years. I'm hoping the fine won't be too much. Will have to keep "nagging" DH for his EA form lah macam ni.

I'm meeting S this weekend. We're thinking of watching Matrix Reloaded at GSC Midvalley. And then do some shopping I suppose. I have to look for a new pair of black slacks (can't use the word 'pants' coz if you look in the Oxford dictionary, it means knickers or underpants, oh my!). And shoes. And a story book [Voodoo Moon - Charmed], too.

This morning, I noticed my next door neighbour have a pet! Its a cute little puppy. Will have to 'investigate' if I happen to meet her when I get home.

Back to work now.
