Lunch on a working day

I usually prepacked my lunch to the office.  There are seriously lack of places to have food in the Plaza that I work and I am not willing to go under the hot sun and cross the busy road just to find lunch and come back to the office with sweat to continue my another half day of work in the office.

On  the days that I do not prepack my lunch, I would go to find food at the staircase stall (this stall is literally under the staircase with slanting roof just on top of their heads), it is operated by a pakcik, I guest the rental is very minimal.  But the stall was closed.  Another eatery shop nearby was also closed.  I ended up at 7-Eleven to find my lunch and settled with these buns (RM3.90 in total) with a mug of Min Kaffe.

Vanilla filling bun from Gardenia

Jagung Sweetcorn filling from Gardenia

 Can't really see the sweetcorn filling paste in the bun because its colour is similar to the bun.  Very sweet.

Red Beans paste filling from BTC Bakery

The red bean paste filling is just alright, prefer it to be less sweet too.

I couldn't take in the vanilla bun anymore after finishing the red beans and sweetcorn buns.  I took home and stored in the fridge and I totally forgotten about it over the weekend.  Got to check on its expiry date when I get home this evening.

Lunch on office desk

Munching lunch on office desk is a norm for me.  There are limited choice of eatery around my office, I usually bring ready packed food from home or buy some bread or buns before I come to the office.  I will have rice for lunch once in a while. Not for diet purpose but for convenience.  Lunch time is time to take a break and surf the net.  

   

Yesterday's lunch, not as healthy but will keep me full till dinner time.

Stress in the office

Stress...when I have to handle my own jobs and other's job tasks at the same time.

My colleague has gone on leave for a week..asking me for a favour to help in her job tasks during her absence.  For the last time I agreed to help her as I will be transferred to the other company effective this month, by right I do not have to handle her job task..but I agreed so to allow her to have a good holiday.

The stress set in when I have to contact one of the government bodies which the answering machine will do the talking, asking me to press buttons, telling me again and again that their operators are busy and still busy, please hold and finally the machine operator informs that the holding period has ended, please call back again.   I have redialed many times trying to contact the officer until I gave up.  Waste of my time and increase my stress level tremendously...I guess this is one of the Malaysia Boleh situations..

 Enough..I don't want to think more...it's lunch time.  Simple snacks in the office to cool my stress down a little and TGIF.

Goodies from the Phillippines

It is great to have thoughtful colleagues in the work place.  Once a while they cheer us up a little by bringing  back goodies whenever they travel.  When come to think of it, it is not all that bad for not being able to travel to places of interests as I wish to because I still got some goodies.

My colleague, Marlisa, just came back for a week of holiday in the Phllippines last week.  She shared with us some cakes and biscuits.  Besides that she bought each of us a gift.  And I have got a bracelet from her.

 a green and clear beads bracelet, a combination of wealth and health, that's what I need.

 cakes and biscuits, gonna share these with my loved ones at home

 my girls would like this cheese cake

 Knorr product brought all the way from the Phillippines??   But at 2nd glance, I noticed that this is different from what I normally see in the supermarket.  It's Pork Broth Cubes.  Haven't seen it being sold here.

All The Best Rosie

After near 5 years of working in the company, my colleague, Rosalind, has finally called it a quit and to start their family business. I guess she must have thought it over and over again before making a decision, it is not easy to come out from the comfort zone and go into the unknown, especially to venture into a new business. 

Rosalind, far right in black "love Malaysia" T-Shirt

We had a farewell dinner for her at Promenade hotel last Friday, it was heavy downpour that evening, we nearly postponed the dinner, glad that we carried on as planned. The weather in KK has been unpredictable, it hard to find a fine day for the occasion. The buffet dinner was superb that goes well with the company of our colleagues, it is our good gesture to wish Rosalind succeeds in her future endeavors.
