Back to Blogging...

2010-08-07T22:51:00.002+08:00

Looking at my blog history, I realized that I haven been blogging for almost a year liao...Well, it has been quite a busy past year for me...Been busy with my work and school, trying to catch enough rest and balancing between work and school. I must say it is very tough, burning my energy on both ends. After 2 and half years of studies, I finally graduated this July...I must say all the Commencement thingy (buying plaques, stage photos and family photo) is quite nostalgic to me...After all, I graduated like 6 yrs ago...How fast time passes by....

On my studies, I have reached another peak, but on my career, I felt like I have hit the rock bottom. I used to get praised for my work in the current project but now, I cannot even recall when my boss has praised me recently...Lately, I found out what ppl always meant when one mistake can erase all good done...Guess my lack of confidence is my undoing...need something to divert my attention...

2nd yr anniversary

2009-08-31T23:36:00.002+08:00

Haha...if you are looking for some "exciting" news after seeing the title, then you are going to be disappointed liaoz...

Today marks my 2nd year of leaving my last company...Time seems to have pass so fast...One flick of an eye, I am going to be 2 yrs in my current company...

What I really missed about my last company is the companions and atmosphere. Experienced all the warmth that my ex-colleagues gave me...Birthdays are such fun events there. But this year when I went back to have a look, the company looks as though a dead city...Everyone doing their own stuff, just like in my current company. After all, the fun people are all already gone in their separate ways.

My current company lets me learn a lot of things but is a bit lacking on the human touch area. I seldom joke and talk with my colleagues. One whole day can only talk that 1 or 2 sentences...super boring one lor...Most of us are super busy all the time coz biz too good...Well it is a good thing in such an economic times I guess...

Reality Check

2009-08-30T01:12:00.002+08:00

Soon I will be turning 27...yeah...nice figure...

At 27, my buddy is going to have his 1st baby.

At 27, most of my friends are getting married.

At 27...what am I doing?

I think I gotta start to plan my 下半辈子...

Love is hard to get for me...friends love to comfort me saying I just haven met the right one...

But I know there may not be the right one for me in this life.

To me, a Libra, family and friends is the core of my life...others are not as important...

Maybe when the time comes, I will sell off everything I have and move into old folks home bah...so gotta start end lotsa money to do that...

Every year, my birthday wish is to find someone...but seems like the more I wished, the further I am from my wish...so ironic...

Exams over!!!

2009-07-13T22:56:00.002+08:00

Exams is finally over for this semester...Gonna start another semester soon...end of this month...

This semester's exam is a first time for me...I never take leave for the whole week to study due to work committments.

First exam on Wed turns out still okay...

Second exam on Thurs is harder than the first one...1 mark question need to justify...a bit guo huo...

For last exam on Sat, although my company is very nice enough me to let me go on leave to study on Friday, it turns out that I am still ill-prepared for it...just hope to do okay for it bah...not very high hopes...

Yesterday, Sunday, is one of my closest friend's wedding. She sits in front of me in secondary school. We can talk about a lot of things back then, from sch to personal. Happy she found her Mr Right. :)

Recovered!

2009-05-22T23:29:00.002+08:00

Yeah...I recovered from the dreadful chicken pox...feels so good to be able to scratch again!!!

Today went to see doctor, even got a letter of proof that I have recovered...hahaha..

Anyway, thanks to those who have send their warm "get-well" wishes to me when I am sick. You all do not know but they meant a whole lot to me. Thanks for all the concerns, makes me feel so good to have u all as my friends...Will not forget u all...muacks...hahaha

Well, once again, I am faced with reality...and it hurts.

Linger （蝴蝶飞）

2009-05-22T00:28:00.002+08:00

Recuperating at home from my chicken pox, come across this movie they are playing on cable.

Always wanted to watch this coz that time (1yr or more ago bah) a lot of advertising on it.

Today finally caught it on cable. Cannot believe I cry siah...got a very long time since I am touched watching some movie/show...Well what it touches me is the talking about regrets, regrets over love, regrets over family...Guess the male lead, Vic Chou really brings out the sombre mood of the movie...I guess there are certain regrets that I connect to...

Haiz...really dunno wat to write liaoz...gonna sleep and face reality tml....

Facebook and 终极三国

2009-04-14T23:25:00.002+08:00

Recently has been using Facebook a lot...been the "happening" thing in town now...almost everybody/thing is there...so go in to have a peek inside...hehe...actually, quite a fun web app where it can link u to other apps too and of coz...meet a lot of friends lor...too bad Friendster kena a bit "hacked" liao...so not so fun le...think gotta switch grounds...hehe

终极三国 is a new tw drama serial...like it coz very 无理头...very funny way to depict 三国 story in kiddo ban...but what really grows on me is the song...够爱 which is originally in 终极一家 but got sang by 曾沛慈, a 星光二gal...very young and tall gal with a very nice voice...below is the lyrics...got chance can go look for it...quite nice...like the yellow portion especially...

我穿梭金星木星水星火星土星追尋
追尋你時間滴答滴答滴答答滴身影

指頭還殘留你為我擦的指甲油
沒想走你好像說過你和我會不會有以后
世界一直一直變地球不停的轉動
在你的時空我從未退縮懦弱
當我靠在你耳朵只想輕輕對你說
我的溫柔只想讓你都擁有

我的愛只能夠讓你一個人獨自擁有
我的靈和魂魄不停守候在你心門口
我的傷和眼淚化為烏有為你而流
藏在無邊無際的小小宇宙愛你的我

你聽見了嗎我為你唱的這首歌
是為了要證明我為了你存在的意義
世界一直一直變地球不停的轉動
在你的時空我從未退縮懦弱
當我靠在你耳朵只想輕輕對你說
我的溫柔只想讓你都擁有

我的愛只能夠讓你一個人獨自擁有
我的靈和魂魄不停守候在你心門口
我的傷和眼淚化為烏有為你而流
藏在無邊無際的小小宇宙愛你的我

愛你的我不能停止脈搏
為了愛你奮斗就請你讓我說出口

Serious Food Poisoning

2009-04-14T23:08:00.002+08:00

After Sunday's night dinner, I woke up on Monday morning 4am due to a terribly upset stomach...

At 7 am, I told my mum I cannot make it for work already...feel so weak man...then after she woke up, also the same thing happens to her...Turns out she is more serious than me...eat anything also puke out...and LS at the same time too...
Then my bro came to fetch us to see doc...doc immediately gave her a jab, then ok...My bro keep telling us he is ok as he is trying to find which food caused the thingy...but who knows...he kena the moment he fetch us home...by the time my dad is home, he gotta fetch my bro to see doc and I also break out a fever last night...lucky the doctor's antibiotics strong sia...take le slowly recovering but today still too weak to go work...

原来

2009-04-13T00:02:00.002+08:00

原来你跟其他女孩都一样。
原来我还是那么笨。
原来我并没几个朋友。
原来告白后，根本都没有可能是朋友。
原来这世界根本没有永恒的友谊。
原来我还是那么自不量力。
原来我这么讨人厌。
原来好朋友也可以出卖我。
原来大多数的人只是同情我。
原来我是那么的寂寞。

First Quality Audit

2009-04-12T23:53:00.002+08:00

After slogging for the past few months, gathering user requirements, doing all the documentation, it is finally our team's first quality audit by the school last Thursday. 2 more audits and 3 presentation to survive...

Well, the quality audit turns out to be not bad at all...in fact we a bit overdo until lecturer asks us to reduce the amount of paperwork...Yeah...u see it right...hardcopy of documents...feel so sinful killing so much trees...hope the school can recycle the papers sia...

This Thursday is our first presentation of our project. Well, our project domain is quite niche, so I think the panel of lecturers will not be asking too much on biz domain but on things like technology and project cost...

Well, it is just the start...more tough months ahead...it will be work, school, home, work, school home...Hope I will survive this tough period...

Stupid irritating virus!!!

2009-03-16T23:42:00.002+08:00

Ya...if you guys can see my status on facebook a few days ago, I kena a stupid irritating trojan that refuses to be removed despite me downloading an array of removals...apparently, my armoury not enough to keep out the stupid trojan...Zonealarm + AVG...

In the end, I gave up lor...rather than spend time removing it, I decided to reformat my C drive leaving my D drive intact. After the reformat, I tried to do Windows Update but to my horror...the trojan still there or maybe infect my PC again when it is most vulnerable. So...reformat again...so far now still ok...crossing my fingers...Now I KS liao...AVG + Spybot + Zonealarm...damn the trojan!!!

拜天公

2009-02-02T23:02:00.003+08:00

Today is the eighth day of the lunar new year...To us Hokkien-dialect people, after finish praying to 天公 later at 12am, the Chinese New Year is considered over for us. Can still remember when I am young, whenever my parents pray, they will use a special incense which makes one's eye keep having tears...like tear gas lydat...hahaha...I will always "shed" a lot of tears...Now older liao...house bigger liao...can hide in my room until time to pray...hehehe

Today also my 1st day of my 2nd year in ISS...This year is gonna to be hard year...balancing between personal life, work life and school life...Naturally, personal life is going to be affected lo coz work and school cannot be sacrificed...but you all know me la...when it is neccessary, I will not let my friends down too often...:P

Seen Ling-er and Grace's baby...both are so cute...reminds me of my own little nephews...Makes me also wanna find a gal to settle down soon...hehehe...

Ok la...gotta prepare to 拜拜 lo...

First post for year 2009

2009-01-01T22:58:00.002+08:00

Today is the first day of 2009...beginning of a new year...must admit 2008 is not a fantastic year for me but rather an okay year...

Work wise, my project has finally launched into market and everything is progressing quite smoothly although still not very happy.

School is getting tougher nowadays...Did quite well for my first semester but second semester is a tougher nut to crack, especially my core paper...Actually find it a bit useless...hehehe...
School has been taking up a lot of my leaves and I do not have enough leaves to have a proper rest...No wonder my "big sister" says it is going to be no life...

Personal life more or less the same I guess...still no special one and most other friends got their new families liao...Gotta start looking for new friends for social circles...else will become anti-social soon.

Anyways, I do really hope 2009 is going to be a better year ahead for me, my friends and rest of the world. Economic turmoil and violence had been the headlines most of 2008...Hope everything will be back to normal soon.

Mama Nana

2008-12-29T23:12:00.002+08:00

With 2008 coming to an end soon, today marks a new birth of a baby boy for one of my close friends in Integro. Along with some other gals like both of my "big sister", she has just been promoted to the rank of Mother. Visited her today at TMC...she dun look that tired (still can poke fun of me) which is a good thing. In fact she is grinning from ear to ear. I guess that is the joy and happiness a baby brought to a family. Baby is very healthy...with a good weight too...a good solid 3.3kg...

During the visit, caught up a bit with Yenn...coz she say I look more and more sombong...hahaha...ok la...next time ask u out for dinner la...dun say i sombong liao ok...hahaha

好兄弟結婚了!!!

2008-12-22T23:00:00.002+08:00

Yesterday is my very good buddy, Junyong's wedding with Peishan.
Wedding dinner was hold in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. My whole family is invited because I am quite close to him...My mama has known him since our uni days together, can say quite familiar with him. Must say Junyong has been a very good friend to me since uni year 2 days. During my uni days, he is there with me thick and thin...We took the same modules, same projects...After uni, we worked in the same company for a few years after which we went our separate ways...he stayed on and got promoted very fast whereas I joined a new company.

Junyong, hope you and Peishan have a very happy marriage life and quickly have BB soon...

Some pictures I took during the wedding...

Birthday

2008-07-09T23:32:00.000+08:00

Today is her birthday...

Thought I have missed it coz concentrating for exams...

Suddenly heard on radio a dedication from someone to a gal whose birthday is on 7/7 then the DJ said...well, a little late but late better than never...

Then that sentence like strike a lightning on my head...OMG...I have missed her birthday???

Quickly check handphone...Wah...just nice...9/7...

Sent her a birthday sms...Hope everything goes smoothly for her...

Dunno why...her birthday brings me to tears...

Maybe it is the thought that surely her close pals will remember her birthday and celebrate for her bah...

Feels so nice to have such close pals...

Suddenly think of myself...Where are mine?

This is the stage where all my friends, getting married, starting their own little family...but I am still in no man's lands.

Haha...suddenly tot of a metric to measure my own popularity...(putting my software metrics into use)

Celebration

2008-07-08T23:15:00.001+08:00

With the imminent rollout of our project to production, our client has very kindly offered a celebratory dinner for all of us, including people from their company. Seriously speaking, this client has been one of the nicer clients that I have met...Trust me, I have met worse clients who thinks they pay us, so can call us come and go whenever they like. At least, for this client we are like business partners, most of things are negotiable.

Well, we went to Cuppage Plaza to eat Kazu Yakutori...日式串烧...Quite a nice restaurant...very crowded though...muz make reservation before going one...and they are not stingy on green tea...Keep refilling my cup with green tea...Food is very nice too...confirm one of those restaurants worth re-visiting.

Food is good, so is the client...suddenly all the efforts I put in finally have some payback...Nothing is more satisfying than to have client recognising our efforts...

Hand Pain

2008-07-08T01:05:00.003+08:00

Yeah...One thing I felt after the exams...Hand pain sia...never written so much codes in my life so far...Imagine, hand writing all the C# codes and flipping through the pages for references...Oh my gosh!!! Cannot imagine myself writing so much codes...

Well, the paper did not turn up to be that easy...at least for me la...quite ill-prepared student...But at least 1 paper down...2 more to go...Thursday is my next paper...Gonna see Ms Harimau in exam hall...Good luck for ur paper Harimau!!!

Exams...

2008-07-07T14:01:00.003+08:00

Yeah...4 more hours to go for my first exam since graduating from NUS...As usual, feeling the jittery because this exam is also under NUS...Taken leave this whole week to do last-minute preparation...actually also never been preparing much...Weekdays is busy with work, saturday already given to my course...Only left Sunday, but I am so mentally drained out...Only started revising on saturday for today's paper...really hope I can pass it or better still...do well...

KK...time to hit the books again...Zzzz...Will update again once I get home at 11pm or 12am...
All the best to myself...hahaha...

If everything goes smoothly, things will get better soon...looking forward to it...

六個月過了

2008-03-09T23:21:00.002+08:00

~~~How time flies~~~

It has been 6 months since I changed job. So much things, happy or unhappy had happened. Seriously, I am still adapting life after my last company. Culture of my new company is totally different. So far still quite happy with the change coz I learnt a lot of new things such as Spring, Hibernate, Apache Tomcat and learn how to design properly so that codes can be easily changed to adapt to new logic. Another happy thing is I seem to be able to spend more time with my friends and a lot of good news keep coming like pregnancy, birth of new babies and of course marriage. Of course very happy to hear such good news but it also awakens a portion of me that I put to "sleep" after "losing contact" with "her"...

Oh! I am also now a part-time student with ISS, studying Master of Tech. Good luck to me...heeheehee

二零零八的情人節

2008-02-14T22:05:00.002+08:00

二月十四日, 星期四, 晴天.
今天是情人節, 各花店最忙, 收入也是最多的一天吧.
到處都洋溢著一股愛的氣息, 就連音樂電台所播放的歌都是情歌.

至於我嘛, 今年又是一個人過. 今年比往年來得多一點的寂寞因為沒有許多好朋友在我的身邊. 往年都會趁午餐時, 去附近的店買几朵玫瑰花送給公司的女性好友. 今年換了公司後, 已經無法送她們玫瑰花了, 所以只好用簡訊代替. 哈哈哈...

今天也得知有一位舊同事向另一舊同事求婚. 真替他們開心. 祝你們永遠幸福哦!!!

Happy 2008

2008-01-30T22:40:00.001+08:00

Haha...I know this post come a little bit late coz now the 1st month of the year almost passed liaoz...Let me see...it has been a very long time since I blogged liao...think got about 2 mths le bah...So much has happened in the last 2 mths...

Basically, December 2007 was stressful, demoralised yet there are a few happy moments.
Stressful coz of work lor...Somehow, things cannot get right for me, keep changing my design. Guess that is coz no proper design is done on my part and too new to Spring and Hibernate. Boss has already fallen sick a couple of times in December, never seen him fall so sick before. This made feel a bit guility coz I wanna help my boss by coming into the company and not add on to his worries. Feel a bit helpess...But boss like his usual self, is very sensitive and keep on encouraging me. Where to find such a good boss? I guess this is also one of the strongest reason why I joined him from my previous company.

December is where Christmas is. Last year christmas, I had 2 private gathering. One at my "Sis" place where I catched up with a lot of my ex-company's colleagues. Going to her gatherings is always an enjoyable thing for me. The other gathering was at a close friend of mine, also an ex-colleague. We had a gift exchange at both gatherings but the 2nd one was more special for me. Dunnoe is fate or luck, I got "HER" present. How ironic...in the past, I always wished that she would give me an xmas present and it never came...but this time, when I did not harbour such thoughts, I got it...Although not her wish to give me, I will still very much treasure it.

Attended a farewell lunch for Erna, my good friend in Integro...at last she also left that forsaken place...hahaha...I was able to make it coz I was given offs to rest. After the lunch, went to the new Integro office at braddell. Hmmm...very big and comfy...looks very empty coz only Operations has moved over for the time being. But sad to say, Operations seemed to lack the passion and human touch that used to have. Everyone is only concerned about doing their own things. Seem like a very "cold" place now. Haiz...quite sad....

One very happy news on xmas day...my 2nd nephew xixi is born!!! Become uncle for 2nd time...

Last day of 2007, I met up with Yong to watch "I am Legend" and met Auntie Fiona outside the cinema. Still sound very TEH~ but seems like has become more matured...haha...Movie mah...not that great also...ending was a bit duh...but anyways, that was how my year ended.

Yet another OT day...

2007-11-24T23:36:00.000+08:00

Today seems like another OT day for me. Going back to office and do work...Been having such kind of OT days quite frequently recently. Need to complete quite a bit of work in a fairly short amount of time. Pushing myself to expedite things up.

Today it is a first for me...first time opening our company's door...in the end kicks off the alarm and the alarm guy gotta call me to tell me how to deactivate it. First time OT-ing alone...quite fun...Playing Jay's new album songs and singing to it loudly, makes me feel that I am not like OT-ing...Coz of that, I am able to achieve what I wanted to do today. Pack up happily at 5.30pm and head for home...First time able to see sun setting on my way home...but something juz destroy my day...

I have a habit of tunning to 933 during my journey home in the car. The DJ is reading out some sms by a listener to another person, asking that someone to wait for her while she sorted out what she gotta do. Then the DJ said something which direct hit on my soft spot...No matter how beautiful things are now, there are still ppl out there experiencing unhappy things or waiting for happiness, so treasure all the beautiful things you have now. I almost cried.

Back at home, watched this movie on cable toking abt our purpose in life. Want to achieve something great or just a simple life...I prefer the latter...

Patience...

2007-11-11T23:38:00.000+08:00

Patience is running dry for me nowadays...Been rather impatient to my family and friends recently...Has a feeling that I have been pushed to the edge liao...1 more push and I will blow... Dunnoe what has changed me... maybe work...maybe food...maybe environment...maybe the tot of growing old alone...maybe too many things are being decided and done in the last min...Sigh...I also dunnoe...Has a feeling that I keep chasing for time and my body is tired ler... Signs...

Talking abt tot of growing old alone, I remembered a close gal friend of mine (around my age) who always used to say this to me whenever I grumbled about not finding my Ms Right. Today is her big day...Ms Banana...We are very good friend and colleague in my previous company...Can say that she helped me a lot in areas which I needed her help...Really glad and happy for her that she has found her Mr Right.

Another who is going to have his wedding is my good buddy Yong...Ya he finally proposed to Shan aka sao zi... Really happy for them... They are really a pair of 金童玉女.

Gaming Session @ Settler's Cafe

2007-11-08T21:55:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I met up with some of my friends for a gaming/dinner session at the Settler's Cafe @ Central. Although juz met up with some of them maybe 2 to 3 weeks ago, but feel so happy to gather together to play games. Somehow, during the games, the little kid that still lives in a portion of our hearts took over and we all are shouting and teasing each other like never before. Unknowingly, such good times always seemed to pass so fast...and soon its time for all of us to end the session and headed for our home...Sent Yong home to Tampines...Wanted to see Emily who is sick but she already slept and resting...Hope she will be well for our next session. Looking forward to see her next session.

Dinner @ Tonkichi (Suntec)

2007-10-24T22:24:00.000+08:00

Last friday, I met up with my ex-colleagues for dinner to celebrate the birthday of two young and pretty gals, Grace and Choo. This time round I am the organiser as Grace organised my birthday dinner on 28th Sept. Feel a bit paiseh coz the gathering is called at the last minute on last monday. But can see from the response, Grace's 面子 is being stretched to the max. Hehehe...

Very happy to meet up with them and chat from topics from sky to ground...Food is ok, company is great.

Recently can sense some changes in me...I will like to meet up wif my ex-colleagues more coz they form the core of my group of friends, especially Grace and company. Meeting them, I need not "act" coz I am truly happy when I am with them. I treasure them much more now, partially also because I do not many friends in my new company.

I also decided to stop maintaining friendship with "friends" who do not make an effort to maintain friendship with me coz I am too tired now...tired at doing things on my end only...for now, I am juz glad to have Grace they all as my good friends.

二十五

2007-09-29T22:36:00.000+08:00

Ya...that is the age that I am starting from today...

Personal Reflections :

Career : Now in my 2nd job doing development. Work like crazy but a lot of satisfaction. Bosses in my new company are not stingy with praises in recognition of our long hours of work and committment to the project. Can sleep with a grin on my face. 1st job is history to me liaoz...but I did learn a lot from it and it really help me in my current job.
Family : Bro has his first bb boy last year...and expecting his 2nd bb boy this year...Gonna have 2 nephews...So nice to have kids around...at least Mum and Dad are very preoccupied with the little one...more fun more lively...
Love :

Yesterday, met Grace, Ling-er, MC and XH for dinner near my ex-office. As usual, the "time-less" me is late again...So paiseh sia...still need Ling-er to come out and bring me to the restaurant. Well we had Korean food for dinner...Appetizers...yyyyuuummmm....Steamboat...Superb...Jeremy, Lieyung and HX all kena stuck wif work, so cannot come...a bit sad but they have no choice too...believe that they will be here if nothing crops up...During dinner, Grace and Ling-er (my "sisters") said they were going washroom. Then 10 min later, they return wif a birthday cake for me and sang birthday song for me...hmmm...a bit shocked...coz din really expect them to go to such extent...Very very touched by their gesture...Words already cannot describe my feelings...Makes me feel that these are the people who really care for me. Having them as my friends is like 上一世修來得福...

Next gotta thank those people who remember my birthday and CARE to sms me happy birthday. People like Yong, Tho, PK and Nana...actually I am quite touched by such of gesture because I am being remembered as a friend to them...That is why I always make a point to wish ppl on their birthdays coz it shows that I treat them as my friend, ppl whom I care. As for gift, I tink I can live without it...as long as I get to see my friends...I am already very very happy...Even a simple birthday sms means a lot to me...

Expecting a few more ppl to sms me but have not receive...Feel a bit down...Maybe this is heaven's way of telling me who can accompany me thru my long journey of life bah...

被愛是幸福

2007-08-06T22:19:00.000+08:00

Think it is sometime 2 weeks ago bah...I am having my tea break with one of my colleagues (and also a close friend) ...Discussing on a topic...Is being loved more blissful than using your might to love someone? For me, my answer will always be the former bah...Being loved is definitely more blissful. But then again, if there is no one to love you with his/her might, then you will not be loved bah...It is something that requires both parties to act upon bah, a give-and-take scenario. If someone does not treasure that affinity between them, just walk out of the relationship bah coz ultimately, there will only be one person who is affected, the one who uses his/her love to maintain the relationship. Once give up, then dun look back bah. I am also trying to do that now. Wish me luck bah...

First day without Gan Ma

2007-07-23T23:54:00.000+08:00

Hmmm...today is the first day w/o Gan Ma in office. Yong was in office but flew off to KL on a 8pm flight. Somehow the atmosphere is funny funny der...Suddenly everyone is so stranger to me. Haha...maybe is coz gan ma gone ler, no one to share my secrets bah, so I have been keeping to myself the whole day. Also dun feel like toking to other ppl also. Looking for someone to go tea-break with today but all seems so busy...Think I am the only one who is free...LOL...Think if Gan Ma is still wif us, we oreadi enjoying our tea-break liao...no need to think of looking for company...Aihz...still missing her leh...lunch w/o her is so not fun...w/o her, no tea-break company, office w/o her is a bit 死氣沉沉.

Hope tml will be better bah...

再見, 干媽...

2007-07-20T21:36:00.000+08:00

After 7 or 8 months with our company, Gan Ma is leaving our company liaoz...Today is her last day in the company. Of coz, personally, I am very very sad coz she is really 1 person whom we can share my 喜怒哀樂 with. Can say we have build up a very strong bond. To her, I have my full trust in her...so most of my secrets, I will share wif her. She will always give me advice on certain matters and I really appreciate it...Life without her will surely not be the same anymore. Below are photos taken during her farewell...

Family Reunion, 2 sons with their mum...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

2007-07-18T01:38:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix the movie at GVmax in VivoCity with Yong. Hmmm...2nd time this yr watching movie...must say it was not really up to our expectation again...Wondering I should watch the 3rd movie anot...Next movie maybe aim for Jay Chou's movie bah. Heard he not only act but also direct the movie...So who shall accompany me??? This time I watched with Yong. We purchased 1 combo (1 popcorn, 1 drink n 1 Lay's Potato chips) and shared among ourselves. Haha...ya...I know it sounded a little bit gay, but that is how close we are bah. Last time, we bought sweet popcorn and cannot finish it, so this time we go for salty popcorn and little sweet popcorn. And we finished it halfway thru the movie...Think we r quite hungry bah...

After movie, Yong went to buy 2 shirts for his bro coz his birthday is coming. Then after that, we go buy farewell gift for our Gan Ma...Bought 1 BIG pooh bear and 1 piglet bolster for her. Hope she like it...Today she also give us a little souvenir coz she leaving soon...Really quite sad that she is going to leave us...but anyways, we the godsons will wish her all the best and we know godpa will give her his best.

打敗了

陵晟八點 , 我被命運打敗了...

Bye bye Kimchi...

2007-07-13T23:43:00.000+08:00

Today marks the end of another colleague and good friend of mine in my current company. Her name is Kim, affectionately called as Kimchi by us. Like others who have left us, she has moved on to another job. I hope that it will be a greener pasture over there for her. It seems like it is juz yesterday that she joined the company. She is hired by my ex-boss, handling one of the projects in our department. She is an avid lover of tea...Before we moved to the new department office, we used to exchange tea packets and drink tea together. At those days, me and Yong were very mischeivous with us teasing her, saying she is "mountain turtle". As she used to tie up her hair into a ponytail, it tempted me to pull it every morning. Coz of these, she always used her pillow to hit us. Of coz, nt only we "bully" her, she also got go "bully" others too...That time we had a senior consultant whom always kena "gu ci" by her. Come to think of it, those are such wonderful days...But after I am kena relocated to my client's place early last year, seems like I lost touch wif her a lot. Actually my relocation has made me lost touch with a lot of people. People like Kim, Banana, her and the others, I suddenly found that we all lost the close bonding between us. Anyways, I will always treasure Kim as my good friend and I will miss her a lot. People may have misunderstood her, but I truly believe her. I do...Goodbye my friend, wish u all the best in your career and your romance...

Oooops...

Lunch wif 小金...

2007-07-04T22:53:00.000+08:00

Abandoned Yong and the rest of the lunch gang today to have a private lunch with Kim aka 小金...Seems like it has been a long time since I had lunch with her ler...Today finally got the chance liaoz...coz she is gonna leave our company soon...Of coz as a good friend, I am very happy for her but cannot help feeling sad as we have built up such a strong bond with each other. Whenever I see her unhappy, I will go up and lend my listening ear to her, to let her pour all her troubles on me. Hmmm...can still remember the early days that we will have our mini pillow fight each morning...and her tickling Meng Chain...We all had such a good time back then...Can say that she is one of those that will look after me, other than Yong, Pei Ling and Gan Ma...Really appreciate their nice touches...

Well, there is a saying in chinese that depicts that there is no never-ending feast in the world (direct translation) -->天下無不散之宴席...I sincerely wish her that she will be happy in her new job...and if u find it unsuitable, u know who to find *wink*...

Captain : *Thinking* At last...after wondering in darkness for so long...

Navigator : Shall we change course to the direction???

Captain : Yes...But we need to know what kind of light that is...Will it lead us out to another vast ocean or towards a waterfall?

Navigator : Full speed ahead?

Captain : Nope...Slow n easy mate...

六月在六月注册

2007-06-30T23:57:00.000+08:00

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!!!

2007-06-30T01:06:00.000+08:00

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.

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.

LeLe's 1st birthday...

2007-06-24T23:00:00.000+08:00

Wah...how time flies...my little nephew Elric is celebrating his 1-yr old birthday today!

Today we gather a lot of relatives to go up to my grandma's place at Tampines to celebrate Elric's birthday and also offer his respects to my grandpa.
Since morning, mother has been preparing some makan for the relatives. Makan include her special fried bee hoon along with all the side dish like mini taiwan sausages, bird eggs, cabbage and 蝦米 to enhance the taste of the bee hoon. Father also din slack on his end...he bought roast pork, roast duck and roast chicken up. My bro is in-charge of buying ang-ku kueh and birthday cake.

Elric's Birthday Cake

Elric cannot wait to set his foot on the cake?

At last his foot is clean...time for family shoot...

2007-06-21T23:07:00.000+08:00

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

2007-06-18T23:56:00.000+08:00

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...

2007-06-07T23:56:00.000+08:00

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 -.-"

New life?

2007-06-04T23:53:00.000+08:00

Today is supposed to be my first day in CMS, but still doing BIB stuff...Din managed to learn anything on CMS today...Yong busy doing CR, no time to teach me anything too...sad...:(

拜拜

2007-06-01T23:30:00.000+08:00

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.

Vesak Day

2007-05-31T23:26:00.000+08:00

Today is Vesak Day...Public holiday in Singapore...We have been arranging to go to Jui Hung's (our ex-boss) house for a gathering. So today is quite an ideal day, but response is so-so only. Only Steven&Sharon, Erna&Hubby, JY&me, PK, Jiahui and Kim are available today to go his house. Hehe...arranged to meet at 1pm but as usual, I am late again by 30 min...Food came at 1.45pm. After food, 1 group of us had our little mahjong session in one of the rooms while others enjoyed their DVD session. Toking abt the mahjong session...really 邪門 siah...the first 10 consecutive rounds, no matter what the total number of the 3 dice is, surely start taking from my side one. Faintz man...think I won only 2 rounds, Yong won 1 round and Sharon won ard 2-3 rounds too...others??? Jui Hung's wife won...super li gu...Can say she is quite pro wor...During one of the rounds, Jiahui and Kim came in to watched us play, then Yong says I 偷瞄 Jiahui...Kaoz...I din lor...-.-"

Well, Jui Hung's house is quite well-furnished. Looks very very clean for a 2+ yr flat as compared to mine...hahaha...mine is super messy sia...even Yong once step into my room also said the same thing...

6pm, me and Yong has another appointment with Jeremy&Grace, Jarod&Emily and Mui Choo at a boardgame cafe at Holland V called Settlers. Had a fun time with them...glad to see all of them again especially Jeremy&Grace coz they r like my 哥哥和姐姐...Below r the pics we took on that day...

Yesterday's Operations Team (2004 December)

2007-05-29T23:54:00.000+08:00

Taken on Xmas 2004

Hmmm...is looking through the photos I have taken just now. Come across 1 picture of the Operations Team nearly 2+ yrs ago. How time flies and how drastic my company's operations support team has changed...No doubt now our team is larger but gotta admit that it is not cosy as it used to be liaoz...Well...cosy-ness and size is always inverse proportional one bah...Looking at the pic, I really missed those memorable days that I spent with the rest of the support crew.

2007-05-25T02:20:00.000+08:00

Yeah...today is the day where I will be going with 2 gals for a movie...Very long time since I have been to the movies...Cannot remember when did I go movie with female friends ler...Haha...I think I never wor...Pathetic siah...Anyways, I am looking forward to watching movie with them.

I left office at 6+ because our movie started at 8. Thinking of having dinner at the shopping mall but too bad, the traffic jam is very bad. So, we reached there at ard 7.15pm...Hmmm...after collecting our tix we are left with 30min before the show start. Hence, we go have some ice-cream at Haagen Daz before going for the movies. Only 1 gal and me had the ice-cream while the other went to do some shopping.

We went in at 8pm to watch Pirates of Carribean 3 after buying popcorn and soft drinks. Hmmm...after the show, we all think that it is nt good as we expected it to be. To me, the company is already quite good, so overall I quite enjoy the nite...After the show, I sent both of them home. Tonight, I felt that I have a life...Thanks to my gal friends. They looked after me like I am a small kid to them...Kinda like this kind of feeling bah...hehehe

My seat...

Her seat...

Tonight, although I did not have my dinner, I will be able to sleep with a smile on my face...Thanks for making my day...

Not anything better...

2007-05-24T23:09:00.000+08:00

Mood is nowhere better today...
Morning went to client's site today with a few of my colleagues and my project manager...
Stayed there for almost the whole day before returning to office with my colleagues...
Reached office around the time of knocking off...While walking back, we saw other colleagues across the street, coming back from tea-break, I supposed...
Monotonous end to my day...Still feeling upset but yesterday bought the movie tix for tml's 'date' with 2 gals. Hope tml I will have an enjoyable time with them and forget all the unhappy things.

From bad to worse...

2007-05-23T23:47:00.000+08:00

Actually yesterday afternoon, after having lunch with Ah Mi~, my mood got a little better...Ah Mi~ though only know me like for 5 or 6 mths only, but she really knows a lot about my feelings...Can hit on the spot almost instantly...Haha...I know some of u might be thinking that I am carrying a torch for her but u r wrong...I admire her is because so far she is one person who managed to know how I feel and I can tell her a lot of things. Ya...pour all my feelings on her be it happy or sad. I think other than Yong, I cannot find another person who knows me that well.

After lunch, got a news which led to another shocking news yesterday night...Seems like everytime I will always receive shocking news....9 years ago, my close friend also gif me one shocking news. Shocking news bring my mood to rock bottom today again...Yeah, all hell breaks loose on my feelings in my bed...tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably...putting my head on the wet pillow, I fell asleep...

This morning woke up, still feeling the aftereffects...but gotta control my feelings at work, so I tried not to think anymore and put all my concentration to work.

Today went to tea-break with Yong only...Saw one ang moh couple...at first only notice the chio bu...in Yong's context (WAH WAH WAH) After taking a few glances, I noticed the guy...kaoz...the guy is chao shuai der...like Tom Cruise wor...liew~...even Yong and I (2 guys) feel that means the guy is shuai dao bao!!! How I wish I could take a photo for u all to see...both of them really is like a heaven-made pair...

Horoscope today...for Libra

2007-05-22T10:12:00.000+08:00

Yesterday went home early, had some rest and went to bed early. This morning, woke up thinking I am feeling better. The fire yesterday seems to have extinguish. Morning driving to work starting to feel fire burning again...Oh no...By the time I reached office, fire is back and burning...really 不爽.

Then go to see my horoscope again...This is what it said...

Your peers may judge you harshly today, but don't take any criticism in an overly personal manner. Others are likely being more supportive than you realize. They are telling you what they think you need to know in order to be a better person. Listen with an open heart; save your defensive posturing for when you need it.
Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Haha...Open my heart today???

Unbalanced Libra...

2007-05-21T21:23:00.000+08:00

Today, this Libra-ian is super lob-sided...and my horoscope completely agrees with me...

It isn't easy to contain yourself today, for you are dreaming about the endless possibilities of what you could accomplish in your life. Sometimes it's hard to set your mind to do anything about your dreams, for you believe that your hard work will be wasted if your goals aren't realistic enough. Now, however, your efforts will be rewarded. It's time to go after what you really want.
Monday, May 21, 2007

Ya...today I couldnt find my usual self...The one who is nice and considerate to others is suddenly gone. Felt like my heart got a fire that keeps burning...My emotions is still within my control but not for long...Can feel that it is gonna go out of control, so today come home a little earlier to allow time to do some soul-searching. My head now pain like hell and I have been ignoring her MSN messages to me...This is highly unusual. Friends know me long enough will know why it is so unusual. Now really feel like another person/thing is taking over me...Like what is being portrayed in Bleach...Ichigo dare not open his Bankai coz he is scared that the Hollow within him come out and take control of his soul. Even the cold shower cannot wake me up. Sanity is getting further from me. Help...

Rush rush rush

2007-05-18T21:56:00.000+08:00

Colleagues from Malaysia

2007-05-17T23:41:00.000+08:00

Today, 2 female colleagues from Malaysia came to Singapore to learn the product that we have been supporting. Alvis is in charge of training them. But afternoon, he got something to attend to, so he is unable to train them on some aspects, so I took over. That is the "program" after lunch with them at Lau Pa Sat.

After lunch, got them network connection to prevent them from being bored while waiting for "program" to start. Program started from 2 to 4 pm. After that, got them a cab to go hotel for a rest coz they have been out since 5am... Poor girls...

After sending them off, our dear customer called and request us to go down and try and find out what is happening. Ya...at 6pm...went down as Mark-ge's team....My issue sort of resolved at 7+ pm but Spacey's one still cannot detemine the cause. We went home at 9.30pm and Spacey needs to go down tml to try and resolve the issue.

2007-04-25T23:36:00.000+08:00

My hospital checkup today...
At 9+, I got a missed call...dunnoe from who...coz driving...never check HP.
Reached hospital, first thing to check my HP who called...Strange...it is Banana, one of my colleagues and good friend. She seldom calls me...so I tot maybe she call up the wrong contact bah.
At 10+, another call came while I am waiting for my consultation. Checked the caller ID...hmmm...it is Banana again...strange...twice liaoz...so I picked up the call...

Banana : Hihi, sorry to disturb you while you are on leave.
Me : It's ok. You looking for me?
Banana : Yeah. Do you have Dory's house number? Coz she is missing, she din come to the bank with the rest of us.
Me : *pause* Yeah I think I have. You all tried her moblie liaoz?
Banana : Yeah, cannot get her either. Can you sms me her house number?
Me : Oh...ok...

Very worried abt dory...worried something bad may have happened coz she is not those irresponsible type of person. Couldn't put my HP away...waiting for news whether they managed to call her anot...After a long and gruelling 10 min, I received an sms from Banana that Dory is ok...juz overslept coz her HP low batt and so the alarm did not go off...Now then, I am relieved...*phew*

Lunch with Han Jie

2007-04-24T23:09:00.000+08:00

First lunch with Han Jie today after he left our company and it is only the 2nd day since he left. Actually, I also missed the days of having lunch with him and Spacey, where we will crack those cold jokes...

Anyways, today's lunch is filled with laughter with Han Jie teasing Spacey a lot and got to know that he is enjoying life in his new company is a comforting news to us. After lunch, my tooth hurts like hell...the one that I visit the dentist last Saturday. Gan Ma advised me to go see dentist tonight, so I did...

Waited at the dentist until 8.30 then my turn...then dentist in the end say the medicine is still intact. Might be the "debris" from Saturday that is making me feel the pain. But he advised me to extract the tooth rather than filling it again coz it is causing so much pain liaoz...So haf to see what choice i made this sat lor...Extract or fill...anyways...tml is hospital check-up...hopefully everything remains good as last yr.

OT...

2007-04-23T23:32:00.000+08:00

MSN

2007-04-22T23:22:00.000+08:00

Been MSN-ing the whole afternoon with one of the team members whom had been called back to do work yesterday...Seems like morale is a little bit low, but the team is hanging in there...Really hope the fire will be put down soon and everything return to normal. These few weeks had been very tense for our department. Resource going and reallocated. Everyone is so tight-up now. A little spark will just spark a resource "leakage".

Dentist...

2007-04-21T23:36:00.000+08:00

Dental day today...Woke up at 10+...Had a light breakfast before heading to my dentist appointment in Ang Mo Kio...Arrived at the dentist at abt 11...Long queue...Ard 12+ then reach my turn...Told dentist filling has pain...Dentist said got crack, so she took out the filling and applied medicine for me, instructing me to go back after 1 week to refill the hole in my tooth...

After dental, got an urge to go Temple pray pray coz I think quite long never go pray pray ler...Recently, a little 不順 also, so better go pray pray to 保佑 me that I can smoothly change project, stay healthy and hope that the team that is called back today will safely extinguish the big forrest fire.

After pray pray, went to Thomson Plaza for a should massage before going for my lunch at ard 3pm and then headed for home liaoz...haa

Second Farewell in 1 week...

2007-04-20T23:08:00.000+08:00

Ok...time for photos taken during Han Jie's Farewell...

No prizes for guessing who is in front of the camera...

Black Thursday

2007-04-19T23:16:00.000+08:00

I know some of you may find it strange why I put the title as Black Thursday because it is very common to see Black Monday but not Black Thursday. Well, since it is black, that explains it all. Today can say is quite a suay day for me.

Today is the first day without my Project Manager whom has gone to Canada for his holiday. Standing in is our "zai" consultant, Alvis. He went along with me and Mark-ge to this afternoon's meeting at UOB. The meeting is quite a friendly session meeting as usual coz the a*****e did not attend such meetings and I hope he NEVER will. Erm...I think not only me, so does the other people also. We even joked that if he really attended, we will just say meeting has finished...What a "good" reputation this person has built.

Well, the meeting ended smoothly and taking a look at my HP, I noticed that it is already 6.30pm and that UOB wanna me to login and test the system after they restart their servers at around 7.30pm...Oh no...1 hour how to reach home? So I decided to go back to office to do the login since I am quite confident that the person doing the restart is very capable. Haha...ok lar...not only becos of login, but also to check out how she and her teammates are still in office coping with the "forest fire". Happily, I reach office at 7pm sharp. Not to my surprise, they are in the office. Seeing her charger hanging at my power socket (coz b4 meeting, I borrowed it to charge my HP), I plug it out and return it to her along with the pen which I borrowed from her too...She jokingly, say...

Her : Next time must charge u liao...
Me : I never hear anything...
Her : KNS!
Me : Walao...Must be learn from H***l one...When I help u that time (in my project) u never say anything also, now little thing then say I KNS...
Her : I in (the project) for so little time!!! (of coz u muz help me lar)
Me :

Maybe I am too sensitive bah...but I think that word coming out from her mouth hurts me too much. I will not say I put in a lot of effort on her but at least there is effort. KNS coming out frm her makes all the effort spent on her wiped off just lydat...Super hurt...

Angles...

2007-04-18T23:42:00.000+08:00

I still remember people told me before...Things can take different form when viewed from different angles. I think one of it is life...every stage of life must be viewed from different angle. When you are still a student, your angle revolves main on studies. When you go out to work, things got complicated, so your angle needs to be adjusted to things like finance, relationship with colleagues and so on. To me, I need an angle where I can cover a lot of things...Still remember a friend forwarded me an email...At this age, we are prone to quarter-life crisis where our goals get blurred, lost interest in a lot of things...

有时候,真希望你能在我这个高度看这个世界,而不是用高人一等的眼光.你会看到你以前没看过的观点.

Hat-trick

2007-04-17T23:49:00.000+08:00

Nonono...Dun get mistaken...(Kaoz...really sound like someone, someone I dun like...)

Haha...3 ones today...one more gone, one birthday and one treat...

Gone...today is "Auntie" Fiona's last day. She is a prototypist in my company. With her leaving and Hazel joining Operations, the only prototypist left is "Gan Ma" liao...Think the heat is going to be on her ler...But she got us, 2 filial "sons" behind her supporting, any heat, we will cool it down for her...hehehe...Think we will miss Fiona bah...coz we always tease her a lot during lunch time and she really can act cute sometimes, then Yong will imitate her and we all will be laughing until pengz...Anyway, Fiona, if u got read my blog, hope that u will be happier in ur new job and enjoy ur 1 mth as "tai tai". Muz pass us the bargaining skill once u perfected it on the fishmonger in the wet market wor...Muahahahaha...

Birthday...today is Kim's birthday...She is supposedly on leave today, but the "fire" is damn big until she is still working. Yesterday, she is supposedly on MC but also end up doing work in office...Feel quite sad for her, dunnoe what I can do to make her feel better also...she has been a very good friend to me and it really pains me to see her like that. All I can do is to rush her home to rest and remember to have her meals and also not forgetting my forte...a listening ear...Resource also has been reshuffled to help her out and I hope that it will help her to put down the "fire". Kim, if u also got read my blog, pls remember to take ur meals regularly n dun tire urself out. There is always a limit as to how much 1 person can handle also.

Treat...Got a dinner treat from Yong's "lao po" at Hans just now. Very long time never see her liao...Think since the ops outing in the middle of last yr bah...Yong and her really got more and more "fu qi xiang" ler...Well, it is good to know that she is doing well in her 1st job and enjoying it. Felt bad juz now also that me n jy keep toking abt our work and din speak to her much also...Anyway, hope Yong and her "zhong chen juan shu" soon...so do Yi Li Mi...haha...guess who is Yi Li Mi bah...wahahaha

After much persuasion by the female colleague, she agreed...Super happy der but then tot of my mother again...she has been following me to work n back from work. What will she know if my mum is in the car also...So I told her abt my mum...she immediately tried to call cab again...coz she become paiseh...kaoz...now my mum "ruin" it for me...makes me wonder how come she felt so unsafe for me to drive alone...I already drove from UOB to home at 1am alone liao...what is she afraid of? I really dunnoe...maybe someday I should sit down and tell her nicely that I am old enuff liao...can handle the car on my own...stop following me pls...Actually i like the feel of drving alone...Haiz...in the end, she managed to get a cab and I waited with her for the cab before I leave...Throughout the journey home and at home, felt the anguish inside me that I cannot leave the clutches of my mum...I really like to send her home today...REALLY!!!

Manager down...but good day...

2007-04-05T23:22:00.000+08:00

Project manager is down on diahorrea...But got a meeting later with the users. Manager asked me if I can handle them alone...I said if the users are alright with you not around in the meeting, I am ok with it...Anyway, I will be bringing the person taking over me to go to the meeting too, so I am nt alone too. Just that I will be the only one toking bah...Got a little worried of meeting the users as I am a little ill-prepared due to the recent involvment in several issues. But in the end, everything turns out to be just fine...Really is my day today...hahaha...Managed to ease the workload on our side by asking the users for some info. Well, every bit of time counts now given the tight resources I have on hand. Headache also...juggling between high expectations from users and training my resources...

Today, ate with her during lunch...forgot she dun like pork and bean sprouts...in end, her ramen left nuting except some bamboo shoots and egg...so when she passed me the pork and bean sprouts, I passed her my egg and fish cake...Happy lunch...hehehe

I explained once...2 get it but the "head" somehow keep rejecting the explanation to go into his head...duh...really 对牛谈情...A findings meeting became a heated argument between him and us. Really stupid a*****e to work with...Anyway he is getting to everyone's nerves, even his ppl also the same. Sianz...

Long time no Blog...

2007-04-01T01:36:00.000+08:00

Just realized that I have not blogged for nearly 2 weeks already!!! No wonder ppl reading my blog is getting lesser by each week. Hopefully, I can be back on track to writing again.

The reason why I have not blogged for so long is coz of Spacey lor...haha...dun think "wai wai" hor...He introduced us (Tho, 阿陳, PK) an online game called 9Dragons. It has different clans with different kung-fu, like Wu Tang has Wu Tang Sword Play, Taichi Fist. So all of us are busy leveling up to get all the different kung-fu. But me a little lazy...keep playing and nt writing blog...haha...dun blame me wor...If ever anyone of u whom read my blog is playing, u can go and find me. (AnGongZi) Provided u are the good guys...hahaha

Ok...back to reality...a few of my colleagues has tendered their resignation letter...Think up to today, there are 4 who has done so just this month!!! 2 already left and 2 are in their final notice period. 1 of those in their final notice is Tho and 1 whom has left is the chio bu who sometimes featured in my blog...Emily. Feel kinda sad that they are leaving but all this is part of working life. People come and go. I sincerely hope that all of them will find what they are looking for in their new jobs and keep in touch with me. Speaking of people who has left my company, there are 2 people who haven meet us yet since they left. 阿陳 and Ling-er, let's try to meet up leh...Toking abt meet-up...eks...I haven even jio the ppl to go out with Aixuan yet...jialat...Gotta try to arrange next week...

As for work...remains the same...just that this week there is a Severity 1 issue which needs our attention immediately and so nice it falls on the day we are having dinner celebration for another project's successful launch...Lottery also not so zhun lor...So 9pm gotta rush to client's place and we stayed there until 1am in the morning...
Recently, 2 options for me to ponder on...to go another project and know more about other project or go to design the product for the project that I am doing now...Initially, very interested in the product thingy...but the solution architect really cannot make it and I think my company is nt interested in developing the product also. So 2 days ago, I decided to go another project and help Yong out. Dunnoe if it is right choice or not...Time will show...maybe in the near future, I may just follow the steps that Tho, 阿陳 and Ling-er took. Till then, we shall see...

三月十四, 白色情人節

2007-03-14T23:39:00.000+08:00

Today, while driving to work, listening to Yes 933FM's morning show, got to know that today is actually White Valentine's Day (白色情人節). So, out of curosity, I searched the web for a definition for this occassion and what it symbolises. Below is one that I feel that is worth sharing with all my readers.

其實，這是有關於日本的民間傳說二月十四號原本是女孩子對男孩子訴諸情意的日子，由女孩子送情人禮物給男孩子但是漸漸發展到最後，已經不分彼此，現在的情人節由誰主動送禮物已經不重要了。在日本如果一方在二月十四日當天收到異性送的情人禮表達愛意，而且對對方也有同樣的好感或情意時，就會在三月十四日回送對方一份情人禮物，那表示今年，彼此已經心心相印了。所以他們就把三月十四日這一天，訂為“白色情人節”。如果你也收到一份期待的情人禮物，那何妨趁著“白色情人節”這一天讓對方也感受到你的愛意呢？

Ok...attempting to translate the above...

Actually, in ancient Japan, 14th Feb (Valentine's Day) is an occassion for girls to show their affection to guys whom they are interested. Girl will normally buy gifts for the guy on 14th Feb but as society advances, whether girl buy gift for guy or vice versa is not that important anymore. In Japan, if either party receive present from another party on 14th Feb and has liking for the other party, he/she will return a gift back on 14th Mar. This symbolises that both of them are together. That is why 14th Mar is called White Valentine's Day. So if you receive a present on Valentine's Day, why not return a gift back to that special someone to express your love to them?

End of translation...

----- How I wish to get something back today...*dreaming* -----

地震二部曲

2007-03-06T23:34:00.000+08:00

Today at around 11.50am at client's place, while thinking about a production issue and also what to have for lunchie...looking up to the ceiling and felt that the building is shaking... Thought it is due to construction work near the building but in the end, got to know from my colleague from Robinson Road that actually it is the tremors from an earthquake. With that in mind, we all went for lunch thinking that it is a one-off thing. After lunch, I read from ChannelnewsAsia website that an earthquake happened at Sumatra and the tremors "flow" to Singapore. No wonder the feeling so familiar....if u guys remember, mi experienced earthquake tremors abt 5 on the Richter Scale while i am in Taiwan...Then near 2pm, another set of tremors hit SG again...I did not think of evacuating becoz the earthquake is SO MINOR! Yet a lot of reports are saying ppl evacuating from lvl 40....duh....C'mon lor, feel the Richter 5 one then tell me lar...Anyway, SG's buildings should not be so unreliable also. I guess if i did not encounter the 1st earthquake, I will be as panicky as others bah...

Today is 15th of the Chinese New Year. A lot of ppl regards today as the end of the Chinese New Year. Officially, after today, no need to give ang paos liao, a relief to those who are "promoted" to giving ang paos this year. Have not been blogging since the start of Chinese New Year coz have been busy receiving ang paos, "dry-swimming", visiting relatives and of course...work lor...

初夕, all the uncles from my father's side came to my house for reunion dinner, followed by "dry-swimming" session. Session lasted till over 12am...Then followed by receiving the Gods. This year I stayed up till 4.30am to wish for good health and prosperity for my parents.

Before I can catch a wink of sleep, it is time to set off for Malaysia liaoz...visiting my mother's side relatives. The whole family went in and can see my bro's wife really lost at giving ang paos since it is her first time doing it with such a big family. Anyways, my mum's side got ard 60 people bah...Quite hard to rem each one's name at once. I can rem coz got train before one...hahaha...

The next day afternoon, one of the relatives wan to send his wife back to her 娘家 for Chinese New Year. So mum tot that is a gd chance to bring my bro's wife to go around and have a look. So we borrowed a Honda Stream, one of the many SUVs owned by my mum's relatives and we embarked on a journey to Melaka and stopping at Muar for a sumptous Thai dinner before returning to Batu Pahat to rest for the night. When we reach Batu Pahat, it was already 12+ am liao...everyone is so tired...

Next day, we had yu sheng wif my Third uncle's family before returning to Singapore....

Last weekend, my mum's tuition pupils came and we played until 4am and juz yesterday, my sec sch frens came...With that, it spells all my activities for my CNY.

Today is Valentine's Day...As like last year, I bought the roses last minute at a shop near me. This year, I bought 5 roses...same as last year but difference is the 5th person has changed. Last year it is given to June and this year it is given to my Gan Ma, Zenn...Hope I dun receive lawyer's letter from Gan Pa wor...hee

Originally, due to work purposes, some of the girls are stationed at Commonwealth, so I plan to drive down to somewhere near there to have lunch with them. As one of the girl needs to return today to download some files, so they return to Robinson to have lunch with me @ Amoy market.

At around 11.45am, they reached office. Luckily, I managed to get all my roses by then. Gave 4 to the 4 of them who are at Ops office. As Gan Ma returned to the head office to settle something, we all waited downstairs for her for lunch. Then...it happened...one of the head office gal colleague who din receive flowers from me last year...saw me again with flower in hand meant for Gan Ma der...and she witnessed me giving flower to Gan Ma...In the end kena hit by her lor...haha...bo bian...but I enjoyed the gals' company for lunch...Thanks for having lunch with a lonely boy on V-day...hee...
