Looking forward to Next Week
Next week will be a busy and fun week. I hope. *fingers crossed*
Because I'm going for a 2D1N staycation at RWS Hard Rock hotel.
Universal Studios Singapore, here I come! (Thought I still hope to visit the one in Osaka)
And the next morning after the staycation, I'm flying off to Hongkong for a 5D4N stay!
Flying off in an aeroplane. Yippee!
This is a very last-minute decision because hubby will be busy with work all the way till Sept (no long leave!) and the only available slot is the original Japan trip slot, so yup, Hongkong here we come~
Actually both of us have been to HK twice already, but well, there are still some places we haven't been to, so I'm sure we will have a great time!
The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the radioactive winds that are blowing in HK direction!!!
Yes I know the quantities are like really minute, but just can't help worrying that the levels will increase. Praying hard that the wind will change direction or slow down or whatever, just please don't reach HK and Macau (at least not any higher quantities)!
Luckily the weather is cold there because I will definitely cover myself up. Haha. I'm paranoid (and everyone knows).
Hopefully things will take a turn for the better for all people!
*Actually Singapore is the safest now, no idea why i die die must go overseas, crazy me...blah blah....*

My workplace is Dangerous.
I always know that my workplace is a dangerous place, with all the chemicals and biological agents that we are handling. However it never really dawns on me that it can REALLY become Dangerous....until this tuesday...when there was a spillage leading to brown gas spreading inside the company building.
Luckily it happened during lunchtime when most people were out for lunch, including me. Everyone was evacuated and then after 1 hour of waiting at the opposite grass patch, we were sent home. Luckily there was someone at home because I went home with only my wallet, handphone and an umbrella. Those who left their keys or important stuffs inside the building just had to wait few hours before they are allowed to go in.
Sometimes it really needs something to happen before you can really know how good your safety emergency measures are. For my company, I think it sucks. No alarm (doesn't mean no fire then cannot ring the fire drill what), evacuation done manually (by security guards going around asking ppl to go out). What if the gas is some really toxic or poisonous gas?!! Horrible. And no one informs the crowd gathering outside of the situation inside the building, just let us wait and wait. After that still don't tell us what had happened until someone asked. And they told us the gas is not toxic. Lame. Brown chokingly pungent gas. Not toxic? Want to bluff who. It may just be not that dangerous in small quantities but certainly harmful in one way or another. *slaps head*
Anyway, I will certainly look out for myself now more than ever during work. Because it is really Dangerous.

Emotions run high...
I have been in a mourning state for the past few days.
Mourning for Japan and mourning for myself (my cancelled trip).
Processing all the cancellations is really heart-breaking.
I feel really sad to email the hotel/airline to tell them I have to cancel my trip because something so terrible have happened in your country (I think they should be feeling much much worse than me).
But still, I must say we are still lucky, we did not suffer any loss from cancelling the trip, instead still able to profit a bit from the exchanging back of currency (something I still cant understand how). And I have donated this money to the Red Cross for the disaster.
And by the way, I must really praise ANA, they really have good service; at the first moment, they offer to fully refund everything (flight fees (even promo fares) and JR pass fees) without any conditions (don't even charge you processing fees). And Japan hotels don't charge you anything if you cancel early (even promotion rates). I'm surprised because I do know some countries' hotels will still charge you certain % for normal/promo rates. As for websites selling flight tics and hotel stay at cheap prices, sorry this is business for them. So I'm rather glad I'm a skeptic person who doesn't really trust these websites.
On another sad note, my sis's longtime close friend just passed away yesterday. So sad, she just lived opposite our block (my parents'), I will also bump into her occasionally in the neighbourhood. Such a nice young girl. What a real pity and sadness. Gastric discomfort, 3 weeks' stay in hospital and sudden demise. She didn't even suffer any terminal illness and docs couldn't find out what's wrong with her. Life is so vulnerable. My sis is devastated and I also dunno how to console her. I can only hope that may her friend rest in peace.
So, please treasure your loved ones. Work is never-ending. Spend some time with them. Spend some time with yourself. Don't regret.

So much evil in this world...
I just realise what a "Humane" world I'm living in.
Humans are indeed very dangerous creatures, you never know what/who lives in there.
Can be an angel or a devil.
And the brain is the most dangerous organ, you never know what will come out from it.
Pure goodness or pure evil.
Living is already so difficult in sooo many ways.
Why not make this world a kinder one?
You never know who gets the last laugh.
I just wish for a better tomorrow with my loved ones around me.
C.h.e.r.i.s.h.

A Really Bad Week
First, I have moved back to my parents' house to stay yesterday. No worries, nothing wrong with hubby and me. Still remember the bugs' revenge?!! Apparently it got worse, both of my legs got really badly bitten by some unknown insects. And after calling the pest control company again, they will be coming down this week to spray the house again. And we cannot clean (aka evacuate) the house for at least a week, so we decided to move back to our respective parents' houses for the coming 2 wks. Praying hard that every bug/insect inside the house or near the house will be fully exterminated this time!!!! *Fingers crossed*
And secondly, I will be cancelling my Japan trip (which I'm supposed to go end of this month).
It's really saddening, for Japan and her victims, as well as to me.
Thinking of this trip for 1 year, planning for 6 months and then cancelled in 1 day.
Really no fate. But no choice.
Apart from the quake and tsunami, they are facing an imminent nuclear power crisis. I mean how do u convince yourself to go in such situation...
And feel really terrible watching/reading the news coming from the affected areas, I really hope and will pray hard for Japan to get through this disastrous crisis. I really do hope to go there someday. Soon.

Revenge
I think the bugs wanted revenge.
The pest control company came on Monday morning to carry out the fumigation massacre AND I got bitten on my leg by some unknown insects the next day!!!!
And now I'm itching like @$!%&*!
No idea if I got bitten by bed bugs (not likely since hubby is fine) or by whatever bug that hid in my jeans to carry out the revenge plan.
Infuriated...agonized...
You bugs, if you think I will let you go so easily, you can wait and see.
(Went back yesterday night and scalded my jeans with boiling water)
And why on earth is that I got bitten after the chemical fumigation??!! Isn't supposed to KILL ALL THE INSECTS??!!
I think I'm really down on my luck....whatever...ARghh...

What an expensive month! (For my house)
First, contacted Da*kin to remove the bird nest from my air-compressor. (Finally!!!!)
Luckily they are very kind to charge it under general maintainance which means no payment needed! ^_^
Second, I just contacted Rentok*l to come and fumigate my whole house to kill all the bugs!!!
Costs a bomb! Hopefully will blow ALL the insects up!
Third, I have made arrangements with my contractor to remove my bathtub which is breeding bugs too.
Costs a lot more since we need to patch up the bathroom! *heartpain*
Lastly, I hope all unwanted guests (yes, i'm referring to u the irritating bugs!!!) will be gotten rid of now and forever!!! *praying hard*
Why can't I have some normal insects in my house like ants instead?!?!?!?! $#%!@!
Give me some peace.
