Going back

Yesterday was an adventure. The night before, I had a very vivid dream that I was diagnosed with terminal kidney cancer. Tan Tock Seng doctor referred me to private hospital because they were shorthanded. Then funnily, the private hospital was just opposite our 713 flat. My younger sister accompanied me to see the dr whom she happened to know. Then the Dr started performing rites on me...then I woke up, and when I went back to sleep, my dream continued. I was trying to settle matters but those matters kept hindering me and I could not get to my Dr appointment.

Felt very tired when I woke up, so decided to laze around and I was looking forward to a very long lunch and sheng xiong shopping. Well, after I finished and got back home, I received a message from my ex supervisor.C. She asked if I was open to go back to work as a temp. Told her am keen if just 3 days. She would find out more from HR if such an arrangement was possible.

Anyway I did not pin much hope because our HR was quite sticky about things so till today, I still don't pin much hope on them to agree to such flexible arrangement.

Anyway no harm done, my work for this week is with ESS. Play by ear, if nothing come to fruition, I just continue doing what I am doing - juggling 3 jobs :)

Concert

My first ever concert in life... goes to Waikin.

Haha I had an opportunity to attend a concert with my friend and her friends. Nowadays it is getting harder to buy concert tickets. 

I roughly know what I would be like, reserved. Thoroughly was humming along or singing along with the songs. I am not those who are hyper during concert.

I realized I prefer jazz or blues occasionally whenever I feel overwhelmed. Not into the concert vibes, I prefer having a drink and listening to jazz or soothing music. I guess it is an age thingy. Or maybe something I learnt from my dad, 一个人喝闷酒。

I am happy to have a corner and observe or listen to nice music. That is what I like.

Waikin concert and swimming

I decided to buy swimming costume and accessories. This was on my mind because I keep having phobia of waters as I cannot swim . Emailed a school. My stuff should come by first week of August.

Secondly, today marks my 人生第一个演唱会 - 周华健. My friend jioed me and I agreed to it. This year there was many first - first musicals, 话剧 and now concert.

Tmr should pen down my thoughts if any.

Nearing the finish line

Today, me and my aunt went to lawyer wong, the 6th time to settle my 3rd uncle sg assets.

She also decided to close the dbs account since she would be transferring her sgx shares for me to sell. 

Coincidentally my bro whom came out on fri, also was going back to muar, so they were in the same 霸王车。

What is remaining is the transfer of shares, and i also need to go ask about UOB dividend warrants (got 10). Hopefully my aunt need not come out. I could wire her the proceeds from uob after the sale of her shares.

She gave me another angbao 500. In total, she had given me 2000 for me helping her. I didnt want to take anymore but she insisted. She only took back 9.6k from the dbs bank account of which she had given me 2k. Of course there still 30++k that would go to her eventually but somehow I still didnt want to take the monies. 

I wanted to help both mother and son, cos after all, she didnt do anything to us at all. It was my 3rd uncle we hated.

Something wrong - fatigue
