Life still goes on although it's sucks

It has been quite sometime I haven't been blogging..Am I busy? The answer is "YES" I am...The other time, I was complaining time passes like snails and now it's just as fast as a rocket. Lots of things happened. Thoughts kept running through my head. Perhaps I just summarise it here.

I really enjoyed the moments celebrating the last CNY with my parents and friends. Although it was just a 2weeks vacation but its really means a lot to me.. Keeping in touch with old friends, ex-cols and family always brighten up my days.

Eleven months passes and I've recently tendered my resignation where my last day will be on 17th June. In fact, I'm a bit reluctant and regretted to leave my company. My manager was a bit shocked when receiving my letter and offered me to stay and of course pay revision accordingly. I should have accepted my Manager offer and continue working peacefully. Although there are some bitches that I don't really like to work with them but overall they are still okay.. No matter where I go, internal politics will still be there... But again, I don't really like to make that "pay" as a bargaining tools for me to stay and thus I've finalised my decision to leave on the next day even I was given 3 days grace period to think about the offered. Decision already been made and I won't change my mind for any reason..That's me. Perhaps this could be one of my weaknesses.

Well, whatever things happened, there will always be good and bad. Agree? So, I should look forward for my new employment. Hopefully, I can learn more and pick up some skills and knowledges with others senior engineer. The worst is I only have 2days break before starting my new job..I suppose to leave my company a week earlier which I can offset my remaining annual leaves but unfortunately things aren't always seems what I've planned. If I were allowed to leave earlier, by now I should be at my hometown sharing the greatest moments with my parents again.

Hmmm, another changes in my life would be moving to a new place. I will be moving to my other frenz unit by end of this month. The place sounds great, 3storeys Semi-D landed property with 5 rooms and each equipped with personal bathroom. Again, there is always be pros and cons.. The good thing is more privacy where I'm staying alone in a room with my own bathroom. The worse is not much amenities around that housing area. Asking me why I am moving without my current housemates ? Indeed there are something happened between us which I don't really wanna say it here. So, I would rather separate with them and starting my new environment.

Ever since I'm back from CNY break, I've been busy with my examinations and thanks god, I've passed 3 modules so far and another 2 more left. My next exam will be on 23 July. Hopefully, I can get everythings done before end of Sept. It's hard and tiring where you have to work and study at the same time. But no choice, life-long learning is the trend here and especially where you are in IT line. Things always changed and you have to keep yourselves updated all the time in order to compete with others and the market requirements.

Caught up some movies yesterday with my cousin at JB. I was supposed to go banking but unfortunately I was late. When I reached JB, it was already 11:45pm and everybody knew that Bank officially close at 11:30pm on Saturday. Quite jammed at the S'pore Custom area and 1st time ever I've queued up for more than 40 minutes before my turn. I think, it's time for me to apply the Access Card which only cost 30bucks per year. Else, next time when going to JB with Brian & Cherlyn, they will sure nag at me again..Watched the Mr & Mrs Smith at 2pm and continue the next show The Ghost Train at 5:15pm. Whoever haven't watch the shows, I will recommend to watch the Mr & Mrs Smith but not the Ghost Train. Almost fall into sleep while watching that movie. Not as freak as I thought and dunno what exactly the stories is about. Looking forward to watch the Initial D, next week probably.

Went to Gym with my cousins just now. Guess, the last time I visited that premise was about a month ago. Spent 2 hours sessions there and I'm feeling very tired now. I've yet to take my dinner because don't have the appetite after having some energy drinks. I can feel my muscles pains and like what Johny says, "feel like sausages". The pain will be getting worse tomorrow and it's Monday again..Really Blue's Monday again because I got to guide the new guy who will replace my position starting from tomorrow. Wow, didn't know I've write so long. May be I should just put a stop here...

A Little Reminder To Guy

Quite T..r..u..e..

11.05pm, guy and gal were chatting happily, when guy uncontrollably yawns

bad example
============

gal (sounding out): you feeling sleeping??
guy: yeah, tired from work...
gal (sounds concern): ok, shan't disturb u, go and sleep lah
guy: ok, you have an early nite too..
guy hangs up the phone.
5 min later, phone rings
awaken by the phone rings, guy: hello?
gal: .............
guy: who's this?
gal (feeling unjust): you felt very bothered by me is it?
guy (confused): huh? what?
gal: .............
guy: why? what happened?
gal: you find me very bothersome is it?
guy: bothersome? why you said this??
gal: ..............
guy: what's the matter? how i would know if you dun say it out?
gal: we are chatting halfway, and you yawn, and went off to sleep...
guy: b...but, you are the one who ask me to go to sleep...
gal: you already said want to sleep already, what else u want me to say?

guy: haiz... if you wanna chat, just say so... what for tell me to go sleep, and feeling unhappy in the end?
gal: since when i'm unhappy?
guy: isn't this unhappy? ok ok, i won't sleep the next time, will that do?
gal: what's the point? i want you to chat with me willingly, and not because afraid that i will be unhappy...

in the end, guy spend another 25 minutes comforting gal, actual sleep time is 11.40pm, plus the earlier argument, he did not have a good sleep. what worse is the gal may argue with the same thing again the next day.

good example
============
gal (sounding out): you feeling sleepy?
guy (tired vocal, but sound interested) : abit, tired from work. but you
have not finished talking, carry on, i will be listening.
gal (felt consoled): orh, but since you are tired, go and sleep then (still sounding out)
NEVER fall into the trap and hang up the phone
guy: there's no afternoon break today, indeed more tiring. how abt i give u a call tomorrow morning. let's chat awhile more ok? (tells the reason, and offer make up measure)
gal: oh ok. go and sleep now, you must be tired.
gal is willing to let guy go sleep, but guy must do a bit more than this

guy: so what time you are going to sleep?
gal: not sure, probably a bit later.
guy: ok, but not too late, not good for health. i will be heart pain one hor...
gal (feeling loved): ok lah...
guy: i love you the most! (even if eyes are shutting also must remember to say this importantt words, else all effort wasted)
gal: i loved you too, have a good rest! (happy till can float liao)
guy: ehmm...
gal hang up the phone

in the end, 11.10pm. guy sleep peacefully, and probably a morning call from gal the next day...

conclusion 1:
female wants feeling and care. most of the time, FEMALE'S LOGIC CANNOT BE FIGURED OUT WITH A REASONING MIND.

conclusion 2:
say a few more touching words, concerning lines, will save you more than Xhr of precious time

conclusion 3:
when encounter the above situation, must always let the gal hang up the phone first. else it will be disastrous...

conclusion 4:
if your gf isn't like the one in the example, then congrats to u! treasure her!
but if otherwise, dun accuse her of being unreasonable. what she wants is very simple.

Holiday Mood

I guess this is my 1st time ever blogging during my working hours. I really don't have the mood to work at all especially when ppls now should be busy hanging around the shopping centres preparing for the coming festive season while I'm still sitting in front of this computer doing nothing just to wait for the time to clock 5.30pm. Today, it's an official working day for my company. It's a replacement working day for the 3rd day of Chinese New Year because company shut down on that day. Why shouldn't they plan other week instead?? All my others colleagues and I myself still puzzling the question why the management decided today as the replacement day. Stupid management!!!

Tomorrow I'm gonna fly back to my hometown but I have yet to pack my stuffs. So many stuffs to bring back and really dunno where to start. Arh..my frenz they all should be around city areas at this point of time . Can't wait to join them later... Still have some stuffs need to buy and today would be my last day to hunt for it. Promised my nephew to buy him a toy plane but till now still can't manage to find one. I'm gonna hunt at Carrefour later...

Hmm, guess my mom and dad will be very exciting waiting for my return tomorrow. I missed them very much... I missed my mom's cooking...Here, S'pore foods really sucks!!!! I can't wait to taste my local hometown foods. Just went to eat Wantan Mee for my lunch at Geylang Lor 13 where ppls saying this stall is one of the Best Food in S'pore. Inititally, really tempted to know what so special about their Wantan Mee. After trying, I would say "NO" and NO for next time too. Waited for 20 minutes before we were being served and almost caused us late to work. I don't find any specialities about their Wantan Mee at all !!!!! The wantan smaller than "mouse ball" and each of us only given 3. The Char Siew a bit dried up and as for the overall, I will rank it SUCKS!!!!! I don't know how this stall can get the S'pore Best Food Awards. Are the ppls who reviewing never eat Wantan Mee before? Or does it mean all others Wantan Mee stalls in S'pore even worst and that's the reason why they get awarded? I'm pretty sure ppls from Taiwan, Hongkong and M'sia especially who had tried before will totally agreed with me.

2 weeks holiday wouldn't be enough especially spending valuable moments with your family, relatives and friends.. For me, I will only back to my hometown once a year and I think it's really fair enough for me to take such a long breaks. When telling my others colleagues that I'm gonna out of office for 2weeks, they were like "har!! why so long?" Why can't they understand my situation? Some even curious why my boss allowed me to take such a long leave. For the past 3 years, I've never took leave less than 2 weeks and no different for this year too although I'm new in this company.


I can imagine how my mom would react during our family reunion dinner. She would have cried. This year, the table for 4 persons will have an extra seat which used to sit by my beloved sister who passed away last Sept. So, I don't think we will have a happy reunion dinner for this year and for next few coming year as well. My mom still sad and can't accept the fact that she is gone forever. The only thing that I can do is trying to stay longer with them and of course I hope I can be back for good ASAP.

Well, after writting so much I still have remaining 1hr 20mins to go...Time passes like snails today..For the next 2 weeks, I guess I won't be online since most of the time would be spending with family and friends... Happy New Year!!! and hopefully this year will turns to a great year for my family and myself..

Rooster Year Countdown

Oh..shopping weeks just over and only left 3 days i'm gonna spread my wings back to my hometown...3hrs flight and gonna wait for another hour for the transist could be quite tiring and dull if i'm gonna spent it alone...Luckily this year my frenz is going back too..Still remember how bored it was on last CNY where I was alone. Has been shopping for the past few weeks but didn't buy much..Ok let me update my list again.

Shopping bags Checkout

Most probably on this coming Friday after office hours and if my frenz can make it. Too bad, this coming Saturday I need to work for whole day (replacement working day for 11 Feb) and Sunday will be heading back. Don't thing have enough time to fulfil my needs.

1st Feb 2005, just delivered my babe on the road. Really look forward to feel it on my own. My dad & mum are enjoying on it now. I can imagine the feeling is totally different when driving your very own babe compare to those belongs to your guardian or frenz..Guess, you guys out there agree with me too. 1St time ever I've spent so much on 4D for my plate no. but too bad, the results just not look what I supposed it to be.
Anyway, gambling will always either win or lose. Just can't imagine if I strike and my babe will be totally FREE!!!! What a fake hope!!!

2nd Feb 2005, completed all my daily tasks documentations and sent over to my colleague who is taking over my jobs during my absent for 2weeks. Got my very 1st "ang pau" from my Manager. The red packet looks fabulous but not the ingredients inside :( Compare to my ex-company, they will always give out to all their staffs at least 100bucks..I thought all Japanese firm has these type of practices. I'm totally wrong!! Just found out, my current company doesn't offer dental benefits too. So, everything has to be on our own. I'm not feeling well today. Just took some medicines and feel a bit drowsy now..Guess gonna go to my bed earlier as tomorrow gonna travel to Indonesia again.

ROOSTER Year COUNTDOWN!!!!
