THE END.   

I am working in a company where technology is the primary focus of the business.  The company has many market groups and within the market groups the business units need to have good collaboration software for their business needs to meet their goals.  This is where Epazz, Inc. comes in.  Epazz is an enterprise-wide software company that provides tailored web application for your business.  From integration to backend systems, Epazz will set it up.  The integration will be seamless and the results are a powerful collaboration and workflow improvement, and most importantly, it will enhance communication among managers and employees.  Epazz is currently giving out a 30-day free trial of their software.  Epazz will work with you from the beginning to the end.

Now that I have tickets for my 1st segment of the trip, DB is itching to get his, too.  He spoke to his boss and he has the green light from the Mr. Dictator.  Mr. Dictator was nice enough to give him 2 weeks. 

DB wants to leave with me on November 16 because the following week is Thanksgiving week and travelling on Thanksgiving week is a no-no.  His stay in Ipoh will be shorten by a week at least.  He wants to save up some of vacation for the rest of the year (his company’s fiscal year start July-July).  He was able to look for lfights from MSP/SIN but his return flight SIN/MSP is the only one that is killing him.  He wants to leave SIN on December 2 but no non-stop direct flights.  The same with December 1.  There are non-stop flights on December 3 but he is not sure if he wants to leave on a Monday and return to work on a Tuesday.  So “char poh” (troublesome). 

He is already driving me nuts – picky with his choice of flights.  All the flights with 2 – 3 stops he is complaining they are all stopping over in Detroit-let, and arriving in MSP in the evening…..the complains went on the whole night till I said, “you deal with  it and I’m going to bed.”  It was 10:30 p.m. and it way passed my bed time.  When he came to bed at 10:45, he still has not bought his tickets yet.  I don’t why it is so tough for him to decide what day he wants to leave Ipoh and if he is willing to sacrifice a day or not to sacrifice at all. 

We were making conversation over dinner, he said we will be at each others neck before we reach Ipoh.  Amen, brother, you got that right.  He is already asking what to do during the time between we arrive in SIN and the flight to KUL.  I told him we are not checking in into that transit hotel.  Instead we will be going for a shower, make phone calls, eat, take pictures, and blog!  He thought I will be checking in to the hotel so we can chill and relax for a few hours.  I am not paying $100+ just to shower and sit on my butt!

 I think I better stock up on Zoloft for this trip!

I see end of summer sales every where I go .  Summer is coming to an end this weekend, after Labor Day.  From clothing, shoes, gardening supplies, hardware store, to nurseries, all are cutting their summer goods prices down.   Even online stores are having big sales on their summer products.  Online Discount Mart is having a end of summer sales to get rid of their summer goods.  When I was out grocery shopping last weekend, I saw some Wind Chimes that are made of bamboo, on sale.  Online Discount Mart is much cheaper.  You save 10% off on checkout.  Plus, since fall is just around the corner, check out their fall decorations for indoors and outdoors.  Order them now and catch the 10% discount for all items.

Tonight I made this one-pot-cook all rice, Yau Mei Fan.  I think translated to English is Savoury Rice.  I saw my sister and Pearly cooked it for her family, I thought I will make it, too.  I added Chinese sausages, Thai chilies, garlic, chicken breast, and dried shrimp.  Obviously, when I was cooking it, DB said it smelled really good.  When he ate it, it was fine, he will pick up all the sausages and spooned them to me till he chewed on something which he asked, “What did  you put in here differently from last time?”  I said, What did you taste? “Something fishy.”  Looks like I cannot get away with dried shrimp even though I drowned them with sesame oil and garlic.  Darn it! :-(
