Lock your drawers when you’re not around! Yes, LOCK YOUR DRAWERS!

After 9 days of Chinese New Year break, I started work again on Monday. Everything seems to look normal in my cubicle, well apart from my plant which looks a bit dry. But I suppose after 9 days without having any water, it’s only normal that the plant looks dry.

Ok, that doesn’t bother me much anyway. Instead, I was really shocked that someone has been going through my drawers when I was away. My new box of chocolate was opened and eaten; and having chocolate wrappers left on top my CPU which was underneath my desk! I went totally crazy, looking everywhere for the culprit who did this… I asked all my neighbours who came to work during the CNY period, but no one witnessed anything…

The thing is I really don’t mind at all if my colleagues were taking food from my desk, but man, not going through my drawers! There are so many personal stuff in my drawers… my pay slip, bank statement, bible, letters, etc… Now everyone is gonna know how much I’m earning or how much I have in the bank or even other personal stuff..

That’s why I’m telling you, LOCK YOUR DRAWERS when you’re not around! Even if it’s only a one-hour lunch break! LOCK THEM!!!

It was Valentine’s day and I didn’t wanna go anywhere since I am single and since traffic would have been terrible everywhere in KL. Having to get home from work has already been a huge problem as traffic has backed up all the way at Jalan Duta. Bumper to bumper crawl has really made me an impatient driver that evening. Therefore, I strongly insist on staying home watching tv during Valentine’s.

Hong Liang called that afternoon for urgent help in his Spanish coursework and needed to come over in the evening to discuss on it. I invited him over since his work needed to be handed in the following day. He came by at around eight and we started working on his coursework. Everything was going rather smooth but he then told me he had forgotton something in car and needed to go downstairs to grab it.

Ten minutes later, my door bell rang and as I opened the door I saw him holding a cake, with everyone else in front of my door greeting me happy birthday. I was totally shocked and extremely touched by all the effort they put in to organise a suprise party for me. It really was a warm and wonderful feeling.

Hong Liang, Ian, Lam, Susie, Joshua, Joyce, Kok Leong, Prakash and Winnie… I don’t know if anyone of you would read my blog, but I really wanna thank you so much for the suprise party and everything! I have been so blessed knowing all of you guys and I thank God all time for having friends like you.

I never had a suprise party in my life before, and this would be something special I’ll always remember.

After getting home from church on a lazy Sunday afternoon, having nothing much to do, I weighed myself and really can’t believe that I’ve put on a kilo of weight when I wasn’t even eating much all these while… Oh well, life sucks when this happens..

Anyway, a friend then dropped by later in the afternoon, and I just couldn’t help complaining about it. He sent me a funny and rather interesting sms later at night which goes something like this: "Do you know that the gravity is actually stronger today, so that’s why you’re 1kg heavier than usual. If you don’t believe me, then try to make an egg stand.."

Well well, wether it is true or not, it doesn’t really matter, cos I really like the idea of blaming everything on the gravity! I’m sure that during the Chinese New Year period, the gravity is gonna get so much stronger than usual, that it’s fine to gain more weight! Hehe~!
