sleepy friday

managed to drag myself out of bed at 6am today... the power of the thought of macdonald's sausage mcmuffin with egg... real hungry as i only tabemasu durian for dinner last night..hahaz..yummy..my neighbours always buy baskets of durians from malaysia and they'll offer some to us too.. it was really good.

paid 5.80 for a mc's breakfast meal..so ex! never really feel justified to be spending 5.80 at macs.. never liked to eat anyways..just occasional cravings. hehz..guess that's how mac's survives... their customers are made up of many many customers with occasional cravings. sighz..no coupons but craving for mac's..too bad for me lo. heh.. sitting in front of the comp now..full and happy but can't stop yawning.. and it's only 9.06am now. been checking out websites for cheap airfares to sydney.. checked out the cheapest is chan brothers offering 829 bucks...err.which is not very cheap also.. tax alone is 291!! last day to enjoy this 'offer' is like....today. looking at my pending leave application.. no way to expedite at all..see how it goes then!

just got some chocs from a colleague..her last day today..so she's giving out her farewell tidbits.. we get these nice little snacks a few times a month.. wonder when it's my turn to give it out..just waiting for that day..keke

btw, NKF is a disgusting organization. yes, no matter how much they have helped the patients with the funds they raised with those acrobatic charity shows, they still cannot justify the fact that they came up with ridiculous statistics in order to bring in more funds. CEO drawing a 12 month bonus, driving branded cars. not that he can't do that just becoz he's a CEO of a charity organisation but more like he had completely dashed public confidence in NKF. people fork out money to make a donation if they can foresee a need, backed up by the stats that these organisations provide. Misleading shouldn't be the way to go. and building luxurious structures for your organisations is a no-no if you had announced that you only have reserves sufficient for patients' medical bills for only 3-4years. saw an article in TODAY..a guy wrote in to say why CEO can't draw a high bonus if the NKF really wants to retain him and the organisation is doing well..and why should the public make such a big hoo ha forcing him to quit. that is beside the point. singaporeans had placed so much confidence in NKF but turned out,our goodwill has been taken advantage of. not a good feeling at all.

i received a call from this customer who had been making a monthly $500 donation to NKF by a standing order through his credit card. he called up enquiring how he can cancel this order.me being outdated in news as usual.. didn't think too much into this request and merely advised him to approach NKF to cancel this instruction. such kind people around..amazing huh.
