Please remove me

I'm not sure if this is a trend that only exists within my company or if it's the same elsewhere. Basically, the scenario started when a lost soul forwarded an escalation email to a group mailbox that consists of many unrelated parties. Within a few minutes, all hell broke loose!

Common sense dictates that all you have to do is ignore and delete these unrelated emails since you're aware of the fact that you're not the intended recipient. Easy, right?


Please remove me! Me too! Me three!

But no! This is the very opportunity to make your presence known to all the employees within the company so you MUST reply to all and request that your email address is removed from the list of recipients!

What began as a single email that got itself sent to the wrong mailbox soon became a flurry of spam emails and before you knew it - congratulations - you now have 157 unread emails with the exact same subject line appearing out of nowhere like a virus outbreak.


It doesn't matter what the person below wrote.

Once in a while, a smart alec will take it a step further by replying to all with some small changes to the subject line like Don't reply to all! which ironically does not help the situation even the slightest bit since it's going to get ignored and thanks, that's an extra spam email in my mailbox.

-sigh-


To make this kind of joke when the recipient list includes directors and managers, this guy sure got balls!

3,338 days

Today marks the three thousand three hundred thirty eighth days since we began our relationship...


... and this was the very first flower bouquet she has ever received from me.

Surprised? Call me cheapskate or tasteless but truth to be told, she doesn't like the fact that flowers will eventually wilt and die. Yeah, I am completely aware of the fact that most girls don't mean what they say...


... but what good are 101 roses if they don't end up with a pair of wedding bands?

I think it's pointless to declare on the obstacles that we have to go through in order to reach this point in time since no relationship will survive long without conflicts.


Legally we're married, but custom wise, I guess we're just engaged.

If you noticed from all the ABCDE entries, I'm the type to take things in stages instead of rushing through them once and for all. After all, I need you guys to save up enough before I start distributing wedding invitations, no? :D


It took me almost three minutes trying to slip the ring onto her finger, only to realize that we've both got the wrong hand. *facepalm*

Ahem... if you still don't get it, here's the harsh version: You can save your breath instead of asking me when I'm going to hold the wedding dinner. It's not going to be anytime soon.


It was our big day, so how come we were not the ones to get to sit? :(

As you can see from the photo above, we only extended invitations to closest family members and friend as we have to keep the crowd to minimum.


Once we were done swearing, it's the Assistant Registrar of Marriage's turn to yada yada yada us into donations. :P

By the way - just for your information - the oath is very much longer if you recite them in English. Do opt for the Chinese version if both you and your partner are able to read Chinese. :)


The latecomers.

Seriously, I've been staring at the monitor for few hours now, not sure on what exactly to write. It's pretty awkward, since I always write stuffs that will eventually end up with -sigh- but for this particular entry, I don't think it's appropriate for me to do so. :P


Mr. and - semi - Mrs. Tan. :)
