六月在六月注册

Today is Ms June's big day...It is her ROM day. Missed her solemnization ceremony coz the hotel's carpark is so hard to find and also big traffic jam at CTE AMK...So paiseh...
I am very happy that she has met her Mr Right and settled down. One thing that I learnt is actually touching a girl can be as easy as making her toast every morning and sending her to work. That is such a simple yet touching move. If I am a gal, I will be touched too...but too bad some gals juz dunnoe how to appreciate things like this. To them, all this are part of courtship and guys should do that, like taking things for granted. I guess a successful marriage is comprises of such small yet touching gestures that either the husband or wife should do.

我的公司七歲了!!!

Today marks the 7th birthday of our company. The organisers are from Operations. Originally, it is only an Operations function that every 3 mths we had. Since the timing is just nice, it is expanded to a company-wide event, indirectly making the organisers more stressed. But I wanna applaud their hard work put in for this event. The event was quite well done, given the fact that the organisers are doing it for the first time. It was held at Bora Bora Beach Pub near Palawan Beach. We all were allowed to go off at 5pm. Since I am driving, I drove a few of my colleagues to Vivo City where we took a tram to Sentosa. The evening is filled with catching up with each other, sumptous food and award-ceremony. Below are the winners :
Best Dressed Female : Hwa Ling
Best Dressed Male : Alvis
Natural Enemy of Environment : Mark (Coz he print a lot of FS n RS)
Everybody's Kaki : Me
Bottomless Pit : Zenn (Gan Ma)
Messiest Desk : Big Big Boss
Lol : Vishnu
Cafetaria : Lini
Basically, the night was great, the organisers did a very good job...juz one personal regret for me bah...What regret I wun say here coz i oreadi shared with Gan Ma...Btw, I sent Gan Ma n Intern to Woodlands MRT as (to my deepest regret) I dunnoe how to make my way back frm her hse, so dropped her there.

Virtual 1-man show

Today, I will be chairing the weekly status with my new client in India. Though Yong is available for the meeting through teleconference, I am still a little bit concerned that I cannot handle them. Meeting will be held at 5pm and I gotta do minutes for the meeting.

To curb my uneasiness, since today operations side so little ppl available for lunch, so I psycho Gan Ma to accompany me to visit our high-end lunch location, Sakae Sushi. We chatted a lot, mainly I doing the talking bah...coz I really really need somebody to talk to. There are some things I can talk to Gan Ma quite freely but not to Yong and vice versa bah. Recently the things bothering me have been like a demon devouring my soul. Even Yong also dunnoe what is bothering me...Talking to Gan Ma is like an angel's touch...neutralizing the demon. Sometimes, I feel that Gan Ma knows me even better than Yong. Some of u may think...how abt "her" leh, din I write that she is one the person I wished to share my feelings with. Yeah, when the day I wear skirt bah...

對於我而言,最痛苦的是我把你當寶,妳把我當草.

Foursome...

Dun anyhow think hor...This is describing the number of ppl in our lunch gang today...Yeah, it has reached four of us...Soon bah, it will be mi alone eating liaoz...Today most of my lunch kakis are over at the clients' place...Gan Ma also nt ard...Yong...still in KL...Went to our usual haunt at Amoy, XH spotted Yenn sitting on the 2nd lvl. Yenn n gals gang have made their way there much earlier than us, so when we arrived, they oreadi finish their lunch and we juz took over the seats...

Found out that actually I am a very bored person to 'her' bah...This week 2nd time I sit with her ler, she will juz flip the newspaper instead of talking to me or asking how I am doing in the new proj. Juz need 1 word of concern from her. Even that is hard to get. Guess the newspaper news is much interesting than toking to me bah.

After lunch, went to buy a webcam/microphone to facilitate my communication with JY. Got anything then can call him via Skype to ask him directly. The shop's webcam cannot make it...so bought a microphone instead. While browsing, I came across a mouse that works on magnetic mousepad...looks cool...so bought that also...

空城計

Quite sometime ago, a friend as well as mentor gave me some general advice...

Do not expect your friends to be behaving in a way that you expect them to be.
Because they too have their own thinking and mindset.
So accept who they are.

Today, Yong is back in SG after 1 week of work in KL. By right, I should be very happy to see him but when I thought of the 空城 that he left for me to guard, I can hardly bring up any smile. Last Friday, I made a trip to KL, thought of having lunch with him der...in the end, din even haf lunch with him coz I guessed they waiting for some 大人物 to have lunch together. Since I booked a cab for 3 hrs to enter into KL area, time was also up when 大人物 came out. So there goes my lunch...Actually juz wanna haf lunch with him only then find out how he is doing over there. So hard meh? Haiz...

Talking abt the 空城, I am even more angry...promises were given to me but all are "bounced cheques". Supposed to have handover one...now dun haf coz of Yong's involvement in the new project. Supposed to have 1 person to give walkthrough...still nowhere to be seen. Supposed to have 1 advisory to help me whenever I need...haf liao but she seems more busy than me...What am I supposed to use to guard the 空城 when there is not a single weapon is in sight. I am not "consultant-level" of person, so pls provide me a weapon...even 諸葛亮 also had a qin in his hand and a song in his head. Today went to a training session...I cannot even understand 1 god damn thing the person say...3 more weeks to go be4 i hit the ice-berg...3 more weeks to hit my tolerance lvl...3 more weeks to find a job...3 more weeks...

Sometimes, I feel like telling all this to someone close to me face-to-face instead of writing here...people like Yong and her...but the 空城 has strained our friendship. I felt very betrayed by him. How can he abandoned me just like that when he know that situation is so bad? As for her, I think she is juz happy with her own gal-gang bah...where got time for me? Sometimes I dunnoe what is up with those "all-girls" only thingy...Can't we guys contribute to a gift for someone whom we all knew??? Sorry arh...all-girls lunch...all-girls outing...all-girls discussion...all-girls trip...all-girls gift...all-girls gathering...all-girls...Why seggregate until such extent??? I cannot understand...

我很累...真的好累...好想一睡不醒...

At last...

At last, I am learning something abt my new project. Need to absorb as much as possible...A very heavy responsibility now since Yong flew me kite to join the Development team and another teammate is going on maternity leave soon...1-man show on a project that is several times larger than the previous project i done. If I say I am not worried, I will be kidding myself...so far, the little domain that Yong passed me, I oreadi can roughly grasped but that is only the tip of the ice-berg...

Navigator : Ice-berg ahead!!!
Captain : How to steer the ship??? No one taught me!!!
Navigator : WAT?!?!?!?!
Captain : Abandon ship???
Navigator : Not enough life boats!!!
Captain : Die lor -.-"

拜拜

Taken leave today to go back to Batu Pahat, Malaysia, to offer my respects to my 外公和外婆. Think it has been a few years since I went back to offer incense to them ler...This year, I am more free, so made the special trip back...Brother is being dragged by mother last minute to go back coz Lele (my nephew) is going to be 1 yr old liaoz. Since he din take leave, mother, father and me went in first. Brother will make his way in later.

Reached Batu Pahat at 4+, headed straight to the temple to offer our respects. Hope 外公和外婆 will 保佑 me.
