Chow Chow or Bear

Anyway this morning my boss told me this story about buying dogs from Chatuchak market in Bangkok. Her brother in law's friend went to JJ market to buy a chow chow. They brought it back to singapore, cleared all the inspections and quaratine by AVA. Its cheaper than buying a dog in singapore after all cost factored in. (Take note dog lovers)
After a few weeks, he realise that his chow chow is eating alot and he asked his friend how his dog's appetite is. The other dog didnt seem to eat so much. So he brought the dog to the vet for a check up.

I thought they found worms in the dog....but.....

The vet said "This is not a Chow Chow, its a bear!"

Its now in the Singapore Zoo. Dont know true or not, sounds absurd but my boss say one leh. Should have some truth in it. Maybe AVA trying to hid their mistake thats why we dont see it on the papers.

My first day at work!

Today 13th Jun 2007, my first day at work. Started really well, my boss as me to join them in the pantry for breakfast although its 8.30 am already, the time im suppose to start work. So I followed and she introduced me to other colleuges. There are about 10 of us in a team. I was offered a packed of kuay teow, dont know if its supplied by the company or somebody bought it. But there were many packets, too bad I had Macdonalds earlier.

In mid afternoon there was this aunty giving out packets of fruits (pear and orange) for today. Apparantly every wednesday they will do this. Sweet isnt it?I think work is going to be busy after i learn the ropes. Today I spent my time surfing net, waiting for people to chat to me on msn, smsing, reading economist. Its all because my mentor has to close all the postions by a certain timing and has not time to teach me stuff.


Tried calling Hong Kong banks to match trades and I got a hard time understanding them because their Cantonese accent is so strong. "We buy you sell" "We sell you buy" They speak so fast I always cant catch what they are saying.

This is the treasure trove in the pantry. Wah never in my life have i worked in a company with such a pantry. Full of stuff. And after lunch there is snacks of pasteries and tidbits bought by the employees. How to not grow fat working in a company like that? Well check on me next month see if I've gained weight.

Looking forward to work tomorrow!
