Socks for Japan

My oh my, once a month's update is not doing good in maintaining a blog Ms Verniela.

Oh well, was it that the novelty of blogging has subsided or I'm simply busy with life? It's the latter of course. Even if this blog isn't a blog, I would have sought avenue to write my thoughts, somewhere in cyberspace...

From the last, MIL is recuperating from her major operation and thus in a matter of days or weeks, she will commence her radiotheraphy and I am seeing it as all good and awesome. I'm elated.

In fact for the past 1 week, I have been feeling happy about things despite small glitches here and there but then again, there is no such thing as runway smooth in thing thing call life. I'm at least happy about work so long I dont' get breath-down-the-neck to submit some stupid deliverables that is execuriatingly pain in the ass or getting hammering from my Boss for some funny looking crap numbers. While Loser has tendered his resignation, now it's the Keropi who is taking over. Oh, so be it as so long it doesn't make me a penny poorer, why should I be concern? It's work after all.

We (colleagues and friends) collected a good RM4K and by the good hearted means of my colleagues, purchased some 800+ socks for Japan given that they were lack of basic neccessities like this where peeps often forget to donate. So all in all, with others who donated socks and money, we managed to gather a total 1000+ stocks. The interesting part about this is, with the socks, there are still work to be done. We had to pack them individually into plastic bags and stick encouraging notes on each socks. Imagine the factory production line we went through getting this sorted. Haha. But it was fun. Of course, the pain was it when Jee and gang had to do the socks shopping. Imagine having to carry the hundreds into the car, to the office for us to all pack up. Fuh!!! But like every charity work, there is always someone or some souls who are pain the ass. Those peeps who do nothing much but acted like they were the peeeps who did the running around and organizing. And so much so that acted as if they champion the entire cause. I hate peeps like this. Hate to the core despite the fact that I know this is a strong word to be used on someone. And the best part of it all is, like I was in Collections, it is peeps like this that can't stop taking pictures so that they could eventually show off to other uninvolved peeps that they are doing something about it. But I find that there is always the fine distinction between peeps who want to account for the things they do to enable them to inform fellow donors where their contribution have gone to versus those that wanted to show off. Sad. I supposed in every goodness of the many peeps, there will always be 1 or 2 idiots who would remind us, don't forgot they are assholes too just when you are feeling life is great. These are the very peeps that knocks reality into your senses when you are in Cloud 9. Haha. However though, there is so much in life that one can be bothered to remain sane and happy. So you need to discard such idiots but mildly be reminded. Haha. However said, for me, it was nice having to see those socks folded with a message attached, getting packed into the many plastic bags, then transported into the car, then to the courier company, then being packed into the DHL boxes, then sealed, then having Michelle to filled in the dockets that addressed them to Sano Tochigi and knowing some hundreds of peep over in Japan will be kept warm!!! It's a super duper feeling. Well, so much for now. Back to running. Catch ya.
