終於搞點(掂)

搞點(掂)個notary public exam 喇。快樂過神仙。

一早出發。考試場地係 downtown，此區比我返工既 midtown 殘好多，不過New York feel 多d。

9:30am開始既試，我8:30am就到。人地帶一支筆，我帶夠10支。其他人10分鐘做完走人，我check 完又check，坐夠一個鐘先走 - 穩陣王!

考完太開心勒，好似放下一舊責左個心成年既大石，合唔合格？唔理亦唔諗lu。兩星期後先有通知。之後吞朴去downtown shopping。覺得自己似遊客。

 

South Street Seaport

Brooklyn Bridge

Chinatown - 一個我每次去都必迷路既神秘地帶

有d好平既菜檔

細個食過既炆花生，估唔到係度見到

Lunch 係 Chinatown 同Dondon食越南野。平時lunch淨係食幾塊餅既我，飽死。

返到office已經成兩點，諗住打機打返夠本，可惜比老細欽點去上個fire safety training course。又一舊豬頭骨。雖然眼訓但我都好專心，因為我從冬冬處學會要尊重人。

成個禮拜無幫Dondon煮飯。

4/6/2011 WEDNESDAY DINNER

沙嗲菠蘿牛肉

蠔油菜心

豬骨羅宋湯

 

特別鳴謝Big Daddy 比我既 past paper。如果合格請你食放題!

 

 

大節目

係香港節目多籮籮，總之一踏出門口就好多選擇。返到New York 再無呢d朝9晚9既生活。今日星期日，我既'大節目' - 逛新開超級市場Keyfoods是也。足以令我興奮一天。

好大啊!

一入門口充滿春天氣息

鮮魚部嚇然見到個大劍魚頭

淨係牛肉都咁多選擇

Cereal品種比香港多好多。梗係喇，香港咁多好野食，駛乜食cereal做早餐？

我的favorite - 大大bagels

唔岩我既芝士

麵包都成排

有sushi - 鬼佬版

夜晚返6k，無無聊聊試下清個恐怖衣櫃

去舊 -

迎新 -

Dum 完d衫 - 咦？恐佈依然？!

學懂說不

這星期對Dondon黎講真的好難過。

1. 佢表姐一家黎New York玩，住係佢度，Dondon整個星期招呼客人，管接管送。


2. 這些表姐還真會喧賓奪主，日日叫埋Dondon大佬一家過黎開餐。


3. 但Dondon這禮拜要返第二份工，夜晚做到9點幾，唔多夠訓。


4. 工作忙之餘，亦要準備星期三既面試。


5. 最慘仲係佢患腸胃炎，一日屙足幾次。


6. 唔單只咁，佢大嫂呢幾日會生，呢三晚都false alarm，連續三晚半夜call Dondon過佢屋企幫佢睇住個仔。

Dondon太可憐，成個人落晒型。不過衰d講 - 佢有d邏黎。佢大佬係個100% take and not give 既人，Dondon咁多年黎都比佢佔晒便宜。

今日表姐一家走喇，Dondon又比佢大佬點左去一齊飲茶，實則搵佢去埋單，跟住又要Dondon 送機。美好既weekend又無左勒。

今晚我唔過Dondon道過夜lu。間屋比佢表姐一家搞到污煙彰氣，我知去=幫佢執屋。我希望Dondon知道佢要對自己"大方唔計較"既性格負責。

 

後記 - 結果比Dondon tum 左去1k。嘩，果然無估錯 - 食物清晒，到處污糟邋遢，廚房門竟然有灘嘔吐物。用左2小時清潔消毒。蝗蟲呢個形容詞佢地真係當之無愧。

Dondon為答謝我買左點心比我做lunch。咪住，似食淨打包喎。

4/2/2011 SATURDAY DINNER

越黎越無懈可擊fatty冬冬蒸蛋

肉碎椰菜

豆腐白菜大眼雞湯。點解煲極都煲唔到白色魚湯既呢？

4/3/2011 SUNDAY LUNCH

白粥炒麵

4/3/2011 SUNDAY TEA

自製salsa，點墨西哥粟米片

Dondon見我琴日執屋清潔咁辛苦，比左個獎勵比我 - 啪完唔嬲lu，仲對自己既小氣有dd內疚。玩完讀書，多謝Dondon!

 

一個頑皮的爸爸

細佬得閒會帶老婆細路同父母去旅行。但過去一年半因為老婆大肚+工作上問題，呢個節目就閣置左。

大仔BY成日追問佢爸爸幾時有得搭飛機，二女SY就問幾時可以住酒店 - 原來旅行對佢地黎講就只係搭飛機+住酒店

上星期細佬上網搵到d平機票去馬來西亞，即刻book左。

細佬兩公婆幾抵死呢，唔講比d細路聽，淨係偷偷執晒行理，話比佢地聽媽咪要公幹，要去機場送機。去到入閘喊晒個陣先踢爆，舉家齊齊出發! 似乎d大人享受呢個安排多d，細路心血少d都比佢地搞到精神分裂。

莫非比日本海嘯影響？個resort無人既？

偏心姑姑最愛的BY

上次返香港同BY 的情深對話 -

"BY，可唔可以比姑姑錫你錫到20歲呀？"

"不如100歲丫？"

姑姑 lur 飯應 -  "好呀!"

"不過到時可能你已經上左天堂喎？"

 

Happy April Fool's Day!

Re: Updated Travel Policy & Related Guidelines

The company is working in every regard to minimize operating expenses. One of the easier areas in which to make changes is in our travel policies.

Going forward the following policies will be in effect:

𠂃

On flights lasting 8 hours or less, employees may no longer purchase meals from the carrier and expense them. Please plan accordingly and pack snacks that travel well, Such as raisins and pretzels. Please do not pack nuts, as other passengers may have allergies.

𠂃

Meals while travelling will no longer be expensed if they are greater than 8 dollars (24 dollars per day). Suggested options that are within the budget include a bagel with cream cheese (no jelly) and a small coffee with milk for breakfast, a satisfying slice of plain pizza with a small fountain soda for lunch, and an array of dollar menu selections at local fast food restaurants for dinner. It should also be noted that certain grocery and specialty chains, such as Whole Foods, Longo's, Metro, Costco, Walmart, etc. often provide free food samples which can serve as snacks or meal replacements. Please note that when entertaining vendors (upon advanced written approval by your manager, their manager, the local head of HR, and the local head of Finance), you may also be reimbursed for their menu selections (not to exceed 8 dollars per person).

𠂃

When travelling distances less than 5 miles the company will require employees to walk. This is not only a good cost saving measure, but it also supports the company's initiative to be environmentally conscious and promotes the health and fitness of our employees. Alternatively, recent studies have shown that hitchhiking is safe method of travel as long as potential drivers are pre-screened, as such, this will be our preferred mode of travel in lieu of commercial transport when walking is not a possibility due to weather challenges. The Company will provide you with VIP Shopping Passes to provide to your driver in thanks for their time and assistance.

𠂃

Hotel accommodations may only be considered in cooler climates and inner city locations and only where local hostels are not available. In such cases, employees travelling together will be required to share rooms (up to 3 people per room) and the cost is not to exceed $100.00. In warmer locations, employees will be issued Esprit tents and camp out equipment. Alternatively, employees are encouraged to stay with relatives and friends while on business travel. This policy change provides a unique opportunity to get to know your fellow employees in a more personal way and/or spend time with family who you would not normally see, while providing the company marketing opportunities on tent sides and reducing our carbon footprint. VIP shopping passes will also be provided to friends and family that provide accommodations during business trips.

We appreciate your commitment and support of Esprit, the environment and your team members. Should you have any questions about the new policies, please contact your Country Head of Finance or Human Resources for more information. Failure to follow the revised policies herein will result in corrective action up to and including termination.

This policy is confidential and proprietary and not for distribution.

閉關一周

講左成年話去考notary public，一直的唔起心肝，次次櫪起本書就魂遊，再加上我怕輸怕失敗既性格，結果拖下拖下就一年。老細終於忍唔住追問我究竟幾時考，無得避喇。。。

呢個星期同Dondon請假，放工唔過1k煮飯，要努力讀書。另外Dondon d 表姐仲係度，可以照顧Dondon晚餐。

Big Daddy好好，鼓勵我話個exam會好易。但我確係覺得好難喎，仲越睇越唔明 -

" Except as provided in subdivision three of this section，official certificates and other acts heretofore or hereafter made or performed of notaries public and commissioners of deeds theretofore or hererafter and prior to the time of their acts appointed or commissioned as such shall not be deemed invalid，impaired or in any manner defective，so far as they may be affected，impaired or questioned because of defects described in subdivision 2。"

嘩，乜黎架？好似個個字都識，放埋一齊就變到一頭冒水。     我要加把勁溫習先得喇。

Dondon琴日開始病，食乜屙乜，非常可憐。我銷假一天煮左冬菇搖柱肉碎粥比佢食。

如果下星期三考試合格我實開香檳慶祝，祝我好運!
