Firework Night? Busy Night.I think it's an omen,or a prophecy, which ever it is, just don't work on a night whereby you know that there is a firework somewhere at some time on that day in your country.
Ah Ma ended up going to and fro the theater almost 10 times on a weekend night which is kinda unusual.
Sigh.
I am very goggy now, *yawnz* my bed is waving her hand at me again....
Tata!

When Bad Things Happen, They Could Be Your Big Break
It's a fact of life - and of work: Bad things happen. Deals are blown, ambitions are squelched, things go to hell in a handbasket. But a bad situation doesn't have to be all that bad - if you know how to make it work for you.
First thing you have to do? It's like that song in West Side Story: Be cool. A level head is key; repeated bouts of guilt and self-recrimination won't get you anywhere.
Focus instead on what you can do to turn the situation around, then act swiftly and decisively to capitalize on the opportunities the circumstances present.
Of course, some mistakes are impossible to recover from. But if you're able to pull it off, you may wind up impressing people in ways you never could have if everything had gone according to plan.
Just consider the possibilities in these commonplace office nightmares:
No. 1: You screw up
The knee-jerk response Distance yourself from your mistake as much as possible. If you can, blame someone else.
The smart response Don't run away from a problem, run toward it. Own the mistake, showing how quickly and effectively you can fix it.
Last year Rebecca Greenglass, an executive at an office-supply wholesaler in Fort Lauderdale, blew a big job for a major client when she wrote down the wrong quantities of merchandise in their order.
"It was a simple mistake but a significant one," she recalls.
Instead of panicking, Greenglass took charge: She alerted the client to the problem as soon as she discovered it (before they found out themselves), moved heaven and earth to secure the supplies they wanted in the proper amounts and then personally accompanied the shipment to the customer.
A week later the client called her boss to rave about what a great job she'd done. "Of course, I wish I hadn't made the mistake in the first place," Greenglass says now, "but I developed a much better relationship with the client as a result of it."
"Recognize that you have a chance to impress with how you handle mistakes," says Arlene Hirsch, career counselor and author of How to Be Happy at Work.
Just because you messed up doesn't mean the game is over - it's just changed.
No. 2: You ask for a promotion and get rejected
The knee-jerk response Hole up in your office and lick your wounds. Stick pins in a voodoo doll of your boss.
The smart response Use the rejection to map out a clear path to achieving your career goals.
A few years ago I was working at another publication and felt I deserved a promotion. My boss felt otherwise. In a huff, I walked out of his office and did what any normal person would do: I complained to a friend who worked a few cubicles down.
He said, "Hey, this isn't so bad. Why don't you ask the boss exactly what you need to accomplish here to get that promotion and then establish a schedule to do those things?"
So I dropped the attitude, went back to my manager, worked out a road map and suddenly had a mutually understood plan that led to the promotion I was seeking.
"There's a difference between not getting something you want and not getting something you've earned," says Hirsch. "If you haven't gotten something you want, it's up to you to figure out what you can do to earn it. Make it overt and objective. That way, it's not about whether the boss likes you, it's about whether you've done X, Y and Z."
No. 3: Your office is losing people left and right - and you're still there
The knee-jerk response Get bitter. Talk smack about the company. Assume you're next.
The smart response Recognize this as a time to step up, make new alliances and take on new responsibilities.
About three years ago Bob Richardson saw his Newton, Mass. tech-consulting firm lose about a third of its staff to layoffs and resignations. Bob wasn't initially thrilled about taking on the extra work the departures created, but it soon dawned on him that it was, in fact, the perfect time to take on new tasks he would never have had the chance to do when his company was fully staffed.
"I started to realize that I was learning a lot more about the business than if I'd just been doing my old job."
Last year Bob was promoted. "It was rough going for a while, but I wouldn't have gotten the chance to move up if I hadn't stretched when times were tight," he says.
It's hard to be so coolly analytical when it feels as if the world is falling down around you, but it's what you have to do if you're going to take charge of a bad situation.
Doing well at your job when all is going well is easy. Doing well under fire is how you make a great career.

Another Sharing Session---如果你很愛很愛一個人 你一定要趕快說出來I was digging through my old diary and I happened to come across this which I wanted to share.「不必悲傷，不必掉眼淚，不要讓他覺得不安，不要讓他感覺悲傷。你不哭，不是因為你不愛他，那是因為你真的愛他，所以讓他知道，你也很好。最真切的情感，是要捨得的…」

Email to ShareThis is so DAMN true.
"well i enjoyed this thoroughly a shout out to the other nurses its so damn true!!!!
Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell??
It took her two weeks to realize she wasn't at work!
You know you're a nurse if.....
You would like to meet the inventor of the call light some night in a dark alley.
Your sense of humour gets more warped each year.
Almost everything can seem humorous....eventually.
You know the smell of different diarrhoea well enough to identify it.
You can tell the pharmacist more about the medication they are dispensing than they know.
You check the caller id on your day off to see if anyone from the hospital is trying to call and ask you to work.
You've been telling stories in a restaurant and made someone at another table throw up.
You notice that you are using more 4 letter words than you did before you started nursing.
Everytime someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on you.
You live by the motto "to be right is only half the battle, to convince the doctor is more difficult"
You've told a confused patient that your name was that of your co worker and to holler if they need help.
Your bladder can expand to the size of a winnebago's water tank
You find yourself checking out other customers veins in grocery waiting lines.
You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers in the mall for fear that they will drop near you and you'll have to do CPR on your day off.
Your finger has gone places you never thought possible.
You have seen more penises than any prostitute
If you are not a nurse and have been sent this by a friend who is, its just to help you understand our mindset and questionable mental status/sanity. Most of the time we function in spite of this sick sense of humour, fairly normally and very responsibly.
Scary huh?? BUT SO TRUE OF MOST OF US...."
This is an email from Ee Kian, so funny yet so TRUE. LOL.
