Have you ever noticed...???

Have you ever noticed that once you get married, all your friends suddenly stopped contacting you when they used to? Have you ever wonder why?

Have you noticed that once your friends get married, the person they become closest to is their spouse & all of a sudden, you are left out from all the details in your friends' lives??? When once upon a time, you knew all the intimate details over a cup of drinks & shared so much laughter together?

Have you ever noticed that once your friends get married, they will do all they can to protect their marriage, so they do not let you know of any unhappiness in their lives; they fight hard to put up a good show in front of you- that is, if they ever contact you in the first place.

Annoying neighbour upstairs!

Aargh! I have been outting up with it for 5 years. This time I could not take it & I stuck a notice on the elevator wall requesting that a certain neighbour living on XX unit to refrain from hanging her laundry out to dry early in the morning when it is still dark (because my dear, her bamboo poles make a lot of disruptive noise & is disrupting my precious sleep!!!). In Singapore, we hang our clothes on bamboo poles & hang them out to dry. Of course we normally do it at an earthly hour, not when it is still dark at 5am! What an inconsiderate neighbour! I guess she must have knew we were referring to her coz the notice was taken down the very next day. I sure wished it had been left there a little longer. Anyway, she has shown great improvement in her behaviour because when she takes her laundry out early in the morning, it is not that noisy anymore. Hip hip hurray! No more irritating noise disturbance!

My relief teaching...

It annoys me no end when a teacher changes her mind a few minutes after asking me to come down to work. And another few minutes later, changes her mind & asks me to come to work! This is what I mean:

LL: Hi, tomorrow can you come down to work from 9 to 1pm? We need a relief teacher.
Me: Ok, I can make it.
LL: Thanks so much, Nana! See you tomorrow.




(A few minutes later...)

LL: Hey hi Nana! I am so sorry but I don't need you tomorrow.
Me: Oh, it is all right then.
LL: So sorry about it. I will call you next time.
Me: Sure, no problem.


(A few minutes later...)

LL: Hey Nana! I am really sorry but I still need you to work tomorrow from 9 to 1pm.
Me: Oh? Is this a confirmed assignment?
LL: Yes it is. Please come tomorrow. I am so sorry.
Me: Ok. I will go tomorrow.

It's like, what the #$%^&! Can't you make up your mind about needing me or not? If you don't need me, don't call me. If you need me, then stick to it & don't change ever so frequently! This has happened on more than a few occasions. It is so annoying coz I cannot plan my day ahead! Don't u think so???
