Mentally Drained

What a wonderful day. Able to receive emails BUT unable to send out!! This is totally crap..i want to suicide..So many important emails today that needs my attention but i can't reply to any of them..OMG!! My boss come over to the site office and experience my tongku. Lol. Also good to let him know not i dont want to work, it's can't work.

Wanted to go home earlier to send emails but have to do OT tonight :( another upgrading project. Guess tonight at home is specially for work only. First time i realise the importance to be able to send out emails.

Dying...............................
I want to sleep.................

What I Feel

For the past few days, my left eyelid been twitching. Then i've found out it's due to stress. The unknown stress that strucks on me without me noticing it. Did some research and found out that stress comes in 3 forms. Physical, Emotional and Behavioral.

A physical stress might be an injury , an annoying sound or an uncomfortable chair. Emotional stress includes things like fighting with a friend, or the death of a loved one. Behavioral stress might come from alcohol, caffeine, or poor sleep.

Probably i'm mentally stress at work and emotional stress. I thought i handled it well but turns out the other way. Didn't notice it after yesterday's dinner. Rushed over to the ulu bali village near PSA for family dinner. During the dinner, i can't get hype up. Totally no mood to joke or play around. Tried to but can't.

How to relieve stress?

Dulan

Can't stand people why they keep chasing things which i already promised to do. I'm not a SUPERMAN. How much do you think one person can do at a time? Just tell me 1 time and i'll do it, just need more time. You dont need to inform the upper level to remind and question me. FUCK UP!

For these people, once u did that once to me. I'll remember that. And don't expect me to treat you the same as before. Hate 2 faces people.. One face say 'Thanks for your help. Very appreciate', another face just 'complaint and backstabs'. Diu! So for now, you can complain whatever you want..need my help? queue for it!

Tuas Episode 3

Went to work this morning. Saw the doors are activated with the card pass thingy. And the problem is 'I DONT HAVE THE ACCESS CARD!' Zzzz have to knock the door everytime i want to enter. Then in the afternoon, i was forced to attend a safety class. To understand the safety at construction site. Just 10mins. 10mins, my eye lids closed. The speaker is a 'ah neh', the way he talk made most of us go activate sleep mode. During this time, i manage to find a good way to sleep without getting caught. Is to keep your head up at all time, with the eyes close. Gotten through with that cos the room is rather dark.

I thought the safety class is over. But this time, they gave out a paper. It's a Test!! Woah..i was sleeping all the way and now attempting to do the test. lol. Lucky the paper is easy. The only ppl who fail are those without common sense. Hope i'm not one of those.

Tuas Episode 2

Had a very nice nap on the way to Tuas. After reached Tuas West Drive, the bus uncle went crazy. He drove damn fast. lol. sif someone is chasing him. After alighted the bus, went up to the office. Still in blur condition. 2 words makes me high 'NETWORK DOWN'. Straight away awake. Manage to bring the network back within 1h30mins. Not too bad hur. Busy morning.

Rain just now at Tuas. Super heavy man. Monsoon rain like that. Even with umbrella still will get wet. So i got drenched just to board my boss car. =.= Station at IBP in afternoon to settle some stuffs. Suddenly felt like i'm so important. haha. but travelling 2 sites are very troublesome.

Damn. I really like my customer. He's a Norwegian SVP. SVP wor..Just helped him settled his email thingy, and he's darn happy. kept shaking my hand and say thank you. He really appreciate that. Kana praised by him makes me happy too..lol..so many ppl look at me i also paiseh..cos he has a 'loud' voice.

Have to go work now...

First Day

What i like about working at Tuas.

1) Can sleep in bus for like 35mins from JE to workplace.
2) Can sleep in bus for like 40mins from workplace to JE.

What i hate about working at Tuas.

1) Wake up at 6.30am.
2) Squeeze bus with people.
3) Weather cold in the morning.
4) Food is more expensive.
5) 2 choices of food. Fried rice or Sandwich. wth.
6) Here and there also bangla.

Boring

Ok good. Cancelled my tennis session today. Forced to cancel it. Becos have to go work in the afternoon. My colleague gave me a ride to TUAS site office.

On the way there, saw a truck overturned and covered 3 lanes!! Is it hinting us not to work today? Had to go 1 big round to reach the office. Boss say, target to leave office at 5pm. In the end, 6pm then can leave =.= overshot 1hr. And things are still not completed. Sian..

Prepared to die tomorrow. Forsee the coming busyness. Wish me luck. Thanks.

House Warming

Went to Dorothy's place for housewarming. It's a cozy and nice place for a family of 3. The location is very very good. Just 10mins bus ride to reach Orchard? That's super fast. Heard that it's not cheap because of the location.

It's really nice to see Isetan ex-colleagues. Brings back memories. Feels great. But one thing, i found out that i forgot most of their name!! what happen to my brain? has it automatically formatted their names away? Sian..wanted to call by their names but somehow just can't remember.

Have to go back to Site office tomorrow afternoon. On SUNDAY!! Things undone and all need to operational by Monday. Kinda sad right. My manager said this 'No choice. We're in IT line'. I totally agree with that. IT job isn't as easy as what you think. So, don't bully IT personnel. Sacrifices are often made in terms of time. I'm still not ready.

I want to keep all promises i made. And this is what i want. Never an empty promise from my mouth to someone i love or treasure.

Head Getting Bigger

Don't know what to say..but my head is like can explode anytime. Too many things to be done at work. and no one to share the load with me. (Kill me)

Tired..feel like giving myself a break today and slack it throughout. Dont want to think of anything. Don't want to work on anything. (Dream on)

Got dragged into the fired up conversation between VP and Director. Their firepower is too huge for me. Luckily got a small file to act as a shield to minimize damage. (Siam ah)

And damn! I hate Norway IT. Give me nothing but problems..Diu! (If you come Singapore, i'll make you eat 50 white rabbit sweet)

Headache

Whole morning i'm not sure what am i doing. Keep running here and there. Problems keep coming in. Norway IT keep delaying the things i want them to do. Sian.. Their IT are so complicated. Outsourcing here and there. Then i have to do the contact :( This big fish is not easy to support.

Heard that they just rented 2 more units in the same building to cope with the incoming employees. Damn..getting more and more ppl to handle. They are directors and managers level. Let's hope they are not too hard to deal with.

Headache..headache..and headache..

Pawned

Just received an expected sianness news.. I have to go to TUAS to work from next week onwards for like 1-2-3 weeks..depends...OMG??? TUAS is a deserted place. It's totally lifeless over there. SIAN......

And where is the new colleague that my boss promised?? He's suppose to station over at TUAS and not me. I gonna pump all my skills into him when he comes and throw him there :(

I'll start to miss..
1) waking up at 8.20am and go to work.
2) slowly walk to office with no time constraint.
3) the straight bus to office.
4) the directors who took care of me.
5) the food bribes by the customers.

What a news to spoil my day....

Roaring Night

Stormy night yesterday. The lightning was terrible and strange i would say. It doesn't sound normal.. It woke me up in the middle of the night at 2.30am. And so hard to get back to sleep. Sian got disturbed.

First time ever, got intimidated by the lightning.

Saturday
Mamamia. The movie not bad. Thanks bl for the treat :) Didn't know they got so many nice songs. Haha. Trying to find the album and download. :P

Had Tian Tian Steamboat. It's really Ohh Myy Godd! Seriously, the rating i give a 100% fail!! Don't ask why. Just don't go there eat. Zzzzz....Yet there are so many ppl. They really advertise very well. That's the only reason i can think of.

Friday!

Let's hope today is another good and slacky day. Whole of this week don't have any mood to work. Not sure why. Have to slack as much cos my friday have to get burnt again! 3 weeks of OTs on friday. What is this? So good to burn my fridays meh? Diu! Migration of servers at Gateway West tonight. Think about it, it's quite expected that most of the fridays will get burnt when working in IT industries. This is my ricebowl, no choice. Want to switch line? i believe it's too late. So let's keep working. And do the best. Build up my career.

After yesterday's lunch, still kinda tempted to eat grilled salmon again.

Okay. Today is friday. Readers, do enjoy to the fullest tonight!! Ciao.

OMG, i want to beat up the singtel guy which i mentioned previously. His fucking attitude totally piss me off. Pui! Sibeh dulan! Talk like that to customer. WTF?

Lunch?

Today very slack in office. Not much things to do. Then my customers brought me to a place to eat. Omg! The place high class de lor. It's a Thai restaurant near PSA. The ambience is good. The food still not bad. Especially i like the Morning Glory and Grilled SALMON! Btw, morning glory = kang kong. I didn't know it's called that. Haha. The salmon is really fresh and nice. Love it. I paiseh to take pictures cos i'm eat with Directors. Cannot do things like that. :( I didn't manage to see the bill but i believe it's quite expensive. Think the price is around $120. Just for lunch. They say it's a farewell lunch for me and one of the director. Cos both of us are going to TUAS soon. Sian..

After the lunch, went to Vivocity to buy a power bar. Really a relaxing day. Go shopping after lunch. At Vivo, took a look at the Simont display items. It's really nice. But pricey. Walked until 3pm then head back to office. What a slacky day...

Sian

Sibeh sian..things not smooth this morning..a singtel manager chasing for a phone datacable?? is he too free?? this is really annoying. kept pestering me to return him. if i got the cable i would have return it, why the hell i want the cable for??

Then i'm too free today..went to chat with the user.. accidentally talked on what i'm not suppose to say..stupid me..better keep my mouth shut..

One more day to Thursday.
Two more days to Friday.
Three more days to Saturday.
Four more days to Sunday.
Five more days to Monday!! Another week...

Sian................

Physically tired after the jog. Legs dont feel like mine. Want it to move also no energy. Overstressed my legs. Sian.

Can't Stand

Sometimes can't stand the management people. C'mon this is a newly setup company. What do you expect. I know your position very big. But everything needs time. Stop telling me about how good your previous job is. Don't tell me how many PA you got in the past to help you do misc things. And now complaining need to learn alot of things. In that case, don't change. Stick to your job!

This particular user is getting too free. Keep on giving me small problems. It really doesn't affects anything about his work. He's like a Microsoft software tester, keep telling me bugs here and there. I'm not a programmer, how the hell i know how to solve it. Diu!

Recently, my schedules are tight. Not much time to enjoy or relax. Too many things at work to think about. Weekends are short. Just one blink! And it's gone. Help!!

Want to get myself high on drinking one night. Just one night.

Nothing much

Played tennis on Sunday. My strokes are getting better :) More consistent. I remembered i didn't feel any tiredness during the session. Now i know why players wear cap during hot and sunny weather while playing. Not for only for cool looks, and also prevents you from getting tired easily. It really helps alot. Try it and you'll know.

Yesterday went for my weekly jogging. So far so good. Just that towards the end, my lower legs and feet almost got cramped. Probably i stressed my legs too much for the 2 days of exercising.

Although my working life everyday is busy. But at least it kept me occupied and not letting myself think too much, which i think it's good in a way. So far things are going on smoothly and getting better. Customers are seeing me more as a friend now. Working with ang mohs sometimes can be good. They are more courteous when need help and of course, i provide them my best support.

Working environment, colleagues, customers plays an important part to make myself feel at home when i'm in office.

Grumbles

Have to reach office 7+am this morning. Woke up as early as 6.30, didn't quite get use to it. Still very tired although i tried to turn in early last night.

At first, thought i could have a quick nap in the server room but well, plan failed. Norwegiens started work as early as 7am sharp. That's their culture. Work early, off early.

These few nights have been doing much OTs. Too many things need to be done. Seriously i'm drained. So are my colleague. Morale and mood got affected due to tiredness. Hate this. Can't really get my mood up.

Can we really balance work and life? Not easy i guess.

LOL

One of my colleague is going to Malaysia for 2 weeks from tomorrow. Working trip. Now left 2 of us, myself and my AM. Both of us are supporting the biggest customer.

Our schedules are very packed due to alot of things need to be done. And shortage of 1 manpower can be deadly. He said this to me, 'Please don't die on me for the next 2 weeks'. Haha. Cos he knows i'm having slight flu now. I'm not so easily go down one okay. Just have to be careful with my diet. This is one hard thing to control :(

Free lunch today :) Pizzas~

Headache

Had to reach office 8am this morning but i'm unable to. Due to headache. Ate panadol and went back to sleep for another hour. It gets slightly better and drag myself to work. At first, thought of getting MC but there are simply too many things to be done today. I can't just throw everything to my colleague. I sibeh nice hor. Hope he appreciates that.

Things are doing quite well till now. Most of the important things are settled at the moment. But there's still alot of bits and pieces of things need to be done too.

Hope i'm doing fine at the end of the day.

Not again!

After a tiring day of OT-ing for implementation of IP changing, it failed. Have to rollback. Waste my time!!

Took a cab home after that.

I HEARD THE SAME WORDS AGAIN!

天啊,放过我吧

Can people don't be that polite please.

What a day..

Irritated

I know this sounds strange but please don't say '谢谢你' to me anymore. You can say 'Thank you' or any other languages but in mandarin.

Why?

Yesterday took a cab home, the driver keeps say these 3 letters to me. On the way back, he said 10times. Really irritating lor. A word of 'Thank You' didn't know can disturb me so much.

This morning came to office, helped the user with some problems. AGAIN, the 3 letters appeared. Bah..

Whats wrong with me?

Realise

I'm adjusting myself to a slower pace at work. If you worked too hard, you'll only get yourself tired easily. And when you're tired, you'll not be able to focus and mistakes will occur. This is what i'm experiencing now. You don't need to multi-task, handle alot of things at once. Only need to complete and focus things one by one. If you're not a multi-task user and try to be one, tough life will be waiting for you.

Doing things slowly doesn't mean bad.
Doing things perfectly is something people will remember.

Think about it.

Why?

I'm not sure why my abdomen hurts after jogging. Is my breathing technique wrong or other reasons? Yesterday, i didn't push myself to the limit. Don't want to get too tired probably. Alot of things come across my mind during jogging. I hate that. It makes me unable to concentrate.

MZJD is a nice and funny taiwan drama. 2 more episodes to finish it. Guess i'll just slowly enjoy it.

Randoms..
My life..can say it's smooth-sailing. Except my studies. Haven't been through any big Ups and Downs. Lucky i guess. Or probably i'm conscious in protecting myself. Close friends around me get hurts, especially when relationships comes into picture. Sometimes i felt helpless. Wanted to help but don't know how. What i can do is to accompany them whenever they need me. As a piscean, i'm born to be a listener.

Dinner at Summer Palace

Dinner at Summer Palace Restaurant at The Regent Singapore. As usual, big bosses always comes late. We, the small fries, will have to wait for them 30mins before starting the dinner. Had some wine session during the waiting period. I like the red wine they served, very pleasant taste.

Okay, i was informed that my team has to spread out the sitting arrangement. To socialise with them. Just when i'm deciding where to sit, a very kind, nice lady customer pulled me to sit with her. Had a good chat with the people around my table before the dinner starts. It's more like sharing cultures between us.

Total is 8 course meal including dessert. I like their fish, it's really fresh. And of cos, their dessert is superb. Combination of mango, aloe vera and sago.

It's a long way home from the hotel. Tired.

Embarrass

Back to stoning period. Will always have that after jogging. Working with a stoning condition is not bad in a way. Don't need to think, just execute. Eventually, all things will be done.

Coming Thursday, got invited to have a dinner at Summer Palace Restaurant, The Regent Singapore. Didn't know where is that place but sounds like a high class restaurant. Maybe can check it out later on websites. Heard that it's kinda pricey.

Embarrassed moment. This morning as usual, wake up on time and go work. After boarding the bus, the bus captain points at my pants. (point for what?) Then i realise that i didn't zip. Omg~ Zao Geng liao.. Quickly zip it back before anyone hurt their eyes or becomes central of attraction. Bah..

Going back to work. Ciao.

Terrible Monday

As usual, Monday is always a busy day at work. I'm tired. Did a mistake that can make my head drop. But well, i managed to skip that. Can't imagine if i didn't go work for just 1 day. Work will piles as high as a mountain. (Diu)

Went to jog after work. Body condition isn't that well. Abdomen starts to hurt after 10mins of jog. Tried to hang on, push myself to run but only manage to run 30mins. This is only half of what i should jog. Muscles aching now. Bah.



Okay. This is the picture which i didn't manage to upload in the previous post. (Nice packaging isn't it?)

East Coast Park

This morning, Olympics 4 x 100m swimming relay. Michael Phelps demonstrated his perfect Butterfly and won another GOLD MEDAL!! And set another world record. This is his 8th gold medal in Beijing Olympics. Outshined Mark Spitz who has won 7 gold medals in single olympics.

Went to East Coast Park yesterday. We walked from McDonald to seafood centre, which took about 25mins. Lol. Been quite a long time didn't go there but nothing much has changed. It's great to see the crowds having gatherings and playing games together. I missed that alot. To organize a big outing it's very hard especially when everyone is working and studying. As ly suggest, we should have a gathering after 10 years after graduate, which is 8 years later. (Good idea isn't it?)

Finally we reached our destination. The Seafood Centre. So many restaurants which one to choose? We ended up in No Signboard Restaurant as ly has good recaps that their food is nice. We ordered Stir Fried Vegetables, Claypot Beancurd, Honey Sauce Pork Ribs and Prawns.

Tada..managed to clear everything, very full. Overall satisfied with the food. After dinner, went to take a look at the watersports by the side. It's water-skiing. Each time when i saw them trying to ski over the platform, i'll say 'fall ah'. Haha.

Found a place to sit down, relax by the seaside. The moon is so round and bright. Gave ly a surprise gift. (Somehow blogspot unable to post up the pic now). The chocolate is really nice and soft. It melts the moment you bite on it. After that, we did alot of 'lame' and funny stuffs. Shhh....

Enjoyed the night with you.

Olympics

Opps he did it again. Yes. Michael Phelps won another gold medal yesterday and set another world record. This is his 7th gold medal in Beijing Olympics. Making 13th gold Olympic medals in his career.

Congrats Singapore to climb to the Finals in Table Tennis. Korea is indeed a very hard opponent. Their playing style has not changed since Athens. Slice and slice and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes. But, well done Singapore. Heard that Singapore will have one day off if Singapore were to won a medal. :)

Went out to town yesterday. My friend bought a bear from Forever Friends. It cost a bomb but it's kinda worth it. Very nice to hug and to play around. And me, i bought ............

Late night, my friend wants to chill at a pub. At first i thought something happened to him. So i agreed and decided to go Railmall(i'm tired and sleepy). But when the time we reached, it's closed. Wandered around the area still unable to find a place to sit down, talk and drink. In the end, ended up in Clarke Quay. First time, wearing so 'Lok' and go to town. People looking at us as if we're aliens. Good experience. Chose Asylym among all. Good view along the river. Windy in the night. Nice place to relax.

What a tiring night..

Pulau Redang

I can sense the peace today. Hope nothing big pops up in the middle of the day.

Guess it's time to organize my work inventory and stuffs.

These are some random pictures on Pulau Redang.

White sands, bluey water. Isn't it beautiful?

Someone please bring me there.

Needs and Wants

Fully packed at work today. No time for lunch too. Still got alot of outstandings not yet solved. My brain is out of juice to think. I need to be rejuvenated.

Finally weekend is coming. I want stingray. I want to relax. I want to travel.

Malaysia Redang. What are you waiting for?

Blah

Olympics opening ceremony just now. The fireworks are fantastic. Their themes are meaningful, showing the 4 greatest inventions in China.

Michael Phelps is the best Olympian in history. Receiving 11 Gold medals(updated) in his career. Breaking World Records.

The little girl from the Olympics is very cute. But felt sad for the original singer.

New office will be ready soon. Probably will be able to move in next week. But the smell of glue after the renovation is too strong.

I still like Sony Bravia.

It's getting late. Time to sleep. 9am meeting. Ciao.

Shopping and Stoning

Don't know what to blog today.

Went to IMM to shop for 40 inch LCD TV for the customer. Viewed several brands, i still like Sony Bravia. The color is more vibrant compare to Samsung. But in the end bought Samsung because it's cheaper. At first, thought going to cash and carry it back to office. Luckily not =) They'll free deliver it tomorrow.

Just a few hours of shopping, work piles in office. These few days so many visitors and new employees, couldn't remember all their names. Somehow they still remember my name. Gosh. I have to try acting that i still remember them.

My stoning continues in office. So many things to do, but i just sit there. Lazy to think and do. Hope tomorrow i'm good.

New employee comes today. Below is our conversation.

She: I met you somewhere.
Me: Is it?
She: Yes, u look so familiar.
Me: But i don't remember seeing you.

After that, i walked away. Lazy to talk cos i'm still stoning.

Stoning

After an hour of jogging session. And now i'm stoning.............................

Physically not tired but mentally yes. Not sure why.

After dinner, i got more stone.

Sad

How do you feel as a parent if your child is accusing that they are ill-treated to your close friends or colleagues which is not true? (i'll be very very sad especially when i dote my child alot)

Kids are getting more intelligent. Is it a good or bad thing? I wonder..

National Day Parade

Is this the first rainy National Day for Singapore? Watched the parade over tv, everything looks so normal. The themes are not interesting. Nothing special duh..

The fireworks really very nice. Should go there to enjoy the 5mins of dazzling night. Although it's just 5mins, i bet it sure worth it. Fullerton is a good place to view the fireworks. This year, they added some special fireworks which i've never seen before, it's beautiful. If you're rich enough, can book a room at Mandarin Oriental, which is just behind the parade ground. Don't worry, we still have at least 1 more chance to view fireworks at Marina Bay next year as the New Stadium will be ready in 2010(Youth Olympics).

My brother is complaining about how bad is the parade compared with the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony yesterday. I haven't watch the ceremony(still downloading). Bet the opening ceremony is very grand and spectacular.

Yesterday

Dinner at Pizza Hut. Ordered clayfish spaghetti, super hawaiian supreme, and drumlets. The clayfish spaghetti looks good and tasty. The pizza i felt that it's thicker than normal. Both of us were full after stuffing all those. Haha.

Watched 'The Mummy' with ly last night at JP. Rated the show as 'not bad' or 'normal', nothing special. But there are several things we felt odd.

1) The son 'Alex' looks too old to be Rick's son. (don't you think so?)
2) Michelle Yeoh is better off speaking english. (her mandarin don't sounds good)
3) Isabella's english not bad. (quite clean and fluent)
4) Jet Li is speaking alien language when in mummy form. (totally don't understand a word)
5) Anthony Wong actually understands alien language! (what is this?)

What will be my next movie?

Last but not least..

Happy Birthday Singapore

Another Winter Day

It's cold..................I can't off the aircon, cos it's link to the aircon in the server room. Gosh. But luckily i bought my 'Armor'. Haha

New office will be ready next week. Finally can have my own table to put my stuffs.

Randoms

Browsing through GV websites found out that there are quite alot of upcoming movies.

1) Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (watching tomorrow, can't wait)
2) Journey to the Centre of the Earth (this should be quite interesting)
3) The Love Guru (another comedy i suppose)
4) 12 Lotus (we'll see how)
5) Space Chimps (if nothing else to watch, i'll watch it)
6) Meet Dave (comedy by eddie murphy)
7) Forgetting Sarah Marshall (i want to watch!)
8) 4BIA (thai horror movie, directed by director of Shutter)

Want to watch 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'. Hope will be on the screen soon.

The office is really cold, my hands numbing. Have to keep rubbing my hands or go to CR and use their hand dryer. If you are wondering what is CR, it's called Comfort Room aka Washroom. The term CR is used in Philippines, they don't say toilet or washroom. Didn't know toilet can have such a nice name huh..

翡翠菠萝包 from customer. Touched..

Another Day

Leg muscles are aching after the jog session on Monday. Thought of jogging tonight but seems not possible.

Reckless driver almost hit me while im attempting to cross zebra-crossing. This auntie jus sped off, only manage to see 'SFX' plate :( How can one be so reckless! Luckily, i'm alert enough, if not i'll be lying somewhere else.

Busy day started the moment i stepped into the office. I heard 'William!! Help!!'. No choice but to rushed over and take a look at the problem. After solving this, another issues need me to attend, that's how things piles. How i wish i'm a supaman. Felt that one person can only do this much, no matter solid you are. Half day gone, just to solve new problems. Hope the rest of the day is peaceful.

This particular lady from finance, i finally told her off after giving her chances. Don't want to talk much into details.

That's all for now..

Jogging on 7th Month

After work, went to jog at around 7.30pm, but sky went dark earlier today. Brought my buddy 'Zen Stone Plus' with me. Run along the running track near my house, the whole stretch is link to Lakeside, but i manage to finish it and run back :) Didnt know my stamina can be that good..Bet MP3 really helps alot, took away the boredom while running..Jogged for nearly 1 hour with minimum rest..

While i'm running on the track near Lakeside, suddenly i felt the coldness..Don't know whether is it the wind that causes it..EERIE and not much people there too..didnt bother that much at that time, continue to run and listen to Jay Chow songs..haha..But frankly speaking, i did speed up my jogging..come to think of that now, it's abit errr....

Don't jog too late in this month..Especially with alot of trees and lake by the side..

Why am i always so busy at work? I'm not slacking!
Why so many clients find me when they got problems at work? Cause i'm always there.
Why till now i still can't finish my onhand job? Things just piles up.

Below is the solution.

Work Smart and not Work Hard

失眠

钱不够用2， 一部很感人肺腑的制作，描述现代人的想法。自私自利，或为他人牺牲的精神。我强忍着眼泪，不让她落下。。有些剧情还真让人哭笑不得呢。。一定要看!!

昨晚本来想去Timbre, 可是找不到那的地方。走了走，打算随便找个地方小喝几杯。CHIJMES Laviva, 一个西班牙/墨西哥餐厅。。气氛还不错。。我们点了Sangrila，觉得不太好喝。

送她回家后，我也回去休息了。。

我应该是满累了, 还以为喝了小酒就可以一觉到天亮. 可是睡了一会儿就无法入眠..胸口突然觉得很闷,感觉很不好, 就在床上发呆了4个小时..到天亮..

胸口闷时, 在想你安全到家了吗? 虽然送你到家楼下,可是还忍不住担心起来..

呆一会儿,就要去打网球..要准备了..

你是我的眼

如果我能看得见
就能轻易的分辨白天黑夜
就能准确的在人群中牵住你的手
如果我能看得见
就能驾车带你到处遨游
就能惊喜的从背后给你一个拥抱
如果我能看得见
生命也许完全不同
可能我想要的我喜欢的我爱的
都不一样 眼前的黑不是黑
你说的白是什么白
人们说的天空蓝是我记忆中那团白云背后的蓝天
我望向你的脸
却只能看见一片虚无
是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了帘
忘了掀开 你是我的眼
带我领略四季的变换
你是我的眼
带我穿越拥挤的人潮你是我的眼
带我阅读浩瀚的书海
因为你是我的眼
让我看见这世界就在我眼前

累

很累的一个礼拜。。每天都在忙着工作，差点都喘不过气来。。还好一切都过去了=)

今天要做什么呢。。朋友约我去钓虾，要去吗？不然真的没有地方可去了。。还在想。。

其中一个董事刚从日本飞回来。买给我了铜锣烧和芥末花生。 还真有口福哦。。我要去日本！！可是没钱 ：（ 还在等公司派我去那公干，这样就可以剩下一笔钱了。。哈哈。。

这个周末的节目都排得七七八八了。。希望不会把自己搞得太累。。

日记

开始习惯常写日记了。打算写我的一点一滴，我的心情，我自己。。

所以，很快我就会把这部落格封锁起来。。当是私人日记。。

可能，我不想让太多人知道我的内心世界吧。。另一个自己。。

伤心

我被回绝了，还真难过。可是我想被拒绝了一次，不代表永远都会失败。
而是应该更加努力。。希望有一天会感动到她。。

相识相知便是缘。。人生就像神话一样。。
梦幻，虚无缥缈，酸甜苦辣。什么都有。
在漫长的，交错纵横的人生道路上。
我应该这样寻找自己的路呢？
有时候我常常想，我真的怕失去自由，失去我的理想，
失去我现在的一切一切。那将是多么可怕的事情。
所以我一直在努力寻找自己的人生目标，
但是想归想，现实总是那么残酷，真的不知道这么面对。
我想说人生就像一场梦，
实验是检验真理的唯一标准。
可我的人生经得起实验的检验吗？

兄弟

什么是兄弟？

我了解的是，不计较金钱，互相体谅，有事情尽量帮忙。。可是为何我的兄弟跟我就好像陌生人。。不能敞开心扉，谈心事呢？

为什么在兄弟间，要谈什么金钱？ 又不是几千几万块，而是几十块。。工作赚来的钱又比我多还跟我算得这么清楚 。。人啊，计较这么多干嘛呢？计较这么多会开心吗？

我这个人很随便，不爱计较。。可是不要当作是理所当然。。需要帮忙的话，如果在我范围之内，我一定帮。。可是在兄弟间，只有我一个这样想是不够的。。

我累了。。

我好像尽快搬出去。。离开这个地方。。再呆下去真的没意思。。

我

这几天，想了很多。。有好的，有坏的，有开心的，也有难过的。。

今年，好像经历了很多事情。。

第一季，在马尼拉奋斗。。看了很多，学了很多。。在那工作，才知道家的温暖（我觉得这是最大的收获）。。还记得新年时，我得在公司上班赶工。。这感觉真得不好，好寂寞，孤单。。当下有冲动想回家。。这时，我爸打通电话给我。。问候我，关心我，真得很开心。。现在才明白一通电话，是那么的重要。。

第二季，回返新加坡找另一份工作。。我目前做得还蛮开心的，有打算在这公司这奋斗几年。。

虽然现在过得不错，可始终觉得我的人生缺少了什么。。

是不是在等另一半的出现，能与你分享喜悦，为她付出呢？

又或许就是她，可是没勇气表达爱意。。

我好喜欢下面这句话。。很有意思。。

世界最远的距离，就是我在你面前，而你却不知道我爱你。。

我的秘密花园

听说在白沙浮附近有个很特别的一个餐厅。。叫做我的秘密花园。。

这个地方还真难找，果然很神秘。。如果没仔细的找，还真找不到哦。。

就昨晚，在那享受了美丽的烛光晚餐。。

好美的气氛，好味的美食。。好完美。。

Salmon Steak

Cod Fish
Hot Date

今晚的主题，就是鱼了。。好喜欢他们的鱼，很新鲜，口感很好。配上他们的酱汁，有助提味。。

接下来就是餐后不可缺少的甜点，选了‘火辣约会’。。还蛮好听的。。

这一道甜点还真特别，又热又冷。。真的很不错。。好想点其他的甜点，像‘罪恶之爱’，‘提拉米酥’。。没关系，来日方长。。

**给特别的你。。希望你喜欢我送你的生日礼物。。虽然有点迟，应该没关系吧？

生日快乐！！

一首歌

林俊杰 - 期待爱

my life 一直在等待
空荡的口袋
想在里面放一份爱
why 总是被打败
真的好无奈
其实我实实在在
不管帅不帅
想要找回来自己的节拍
所以这一次
我要勇敢大声说出来

期待期待你发现我的爱
无所不在我自然而然的关怀
你的存在心灵感应的方向
我一眼就看出来
是因为爱
我猜你早已发现我的爱
绕几个弯 靠越近越明白
不要走开
幸福的开始就是放手去爱

不知从几时开始，渐渐的喜欢上这一首歌。。
为何喜欢这首歌，我也不知道。。
可能是玄侓，也可能是歌词。。
或许有其他原因使我爱上她，只是我还没发觉。。

Happy Birthday Jeremy & Shirley

This is absolute disappointment. Had dinner celebration for Jeremy's birthday at Bali Thai. The food is not fantastic but definitely the price did surprised us. Paid this amount for this kind of standard :(
Nvm, let's not talk about that anymore...

After the dinner, went to Plasma..It's Shirley's birthday celebration..Was surprised that so many ppl were thereand packed..had some beers even though i'm on MC. Don't dare to drink that much cos afraid can't wake up next morning for work.

Work life...let's not talk about it...take a break :)

Next. i'll talk about 我的秘密花园。。请期待。。

What's Wrong?

Today at work, things ain't going smoothly as i hoped. Made some small mistakes dues to my carelessness..although it's just a small one due to my inexperience, somehow it has impact on me. Blaming myself isn't going to help, guess i have to be extra careful next time.

What a demoralising day..

Dell XPS M1330

Soon to receive a brand new laptop from Dell as a replacement. Don't ask me how or why. Because it's 不能说的秘密 and i'm too solid :) Since i've got a laptop from the company, therefore i decided to let go. Any interested parties?

Tiring Week

This week isn't my week after all. Requests keeps coming in and working alone is tedious. There's a new secretary just joined, at first thought she's just another normal user but i'm WRONG! In 1 day, she can call me up at least 5 times on asking IT related issues. 5times!! Isn't that too much? This is getting absurb, hope my new office will be ready as soon as possible.

On my last post, talked about MWG Zinc II. Singtel gave us new sets but battery problem still exist. I did all the settings recommended by MWG, and the battery lasted for just 10hours, without any phonecalls. I guess don't need me to say anymore about this product. Disappointing.

Why does people get redeye so easily? Jealous? Even vying over which models of laptop they holding. Like today, i replaced a laptop for a lady director, another director happened to saw it. He called me, "When will mine be ready?" I was like huh? I didn't receive any instructions to change it for him. Just a laptop, whats the big deal.

Dell Latitude D630. Just received this brand new toy from the company. Overall the performance is still good, it comes with 4GB Ram and Nvidia graphic card. But the weight isn't that attractive, like carrying a dumb-bell to work :(

MWG Zinc II

This phone originally is from O2 but now is under MWG as O2 has withdrawn from Asia market. The design looks cool but..tons of problems. Directors have been complaining to me about this phone for about 2 weeks even when they are at overseas!! Help me kill MWG please.

Let me list down some of the problems.

1) Battery Life can't even last ONE day without Phonecalls, Bluetooth, Wireless. (Superb!)
2) Intermitten lost detection of SIM Card. (Solid!)
3) Phone hangs. (Well..new phone eh..)
4) Gave Blackberry charger for one of the set purchased. (King!)

Seriously, the phone only looks nice and nothing else..Kinda disappointed with MWG now..

Something Interesting..

There's a quiz link i saw on LY's blog, find it quite interesting..Decide to test it out too..

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself:
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Does the quiz really tells who i am?

Dinner @ Xing Wang

Met up with polymates last night to have dinner @ Cineleisure. It's been very long since we last gathered which is like almost 2 years. Feels like we're back to poly times..haha..

The above pic is what i've ordered..Dry Seafood Hor Fun..It's really alot lor, i can't finish it but lucky Adam helped me clear some..maybe he's still hungry after eating his baked rice..the hor fun is quite value for money..After the dinner, we talked about alot of stuffs..about studies and work..

I realise most ppl after their NS, they're lost..in terms of which path to take..usually i'll tell them, if they don't know what to do, and parents are able to support your further studies..GO TO STUDY!! Get a degree then say..this path confirm no wrong..

Most of my friends, including myself are interested in taking Business course..and i believe this is a good choice. And also not forgetting about Finance, this is a good one too..SIM now offers a new course 'Human Resource Management' this falls under business too and this will be a very good degree as HR market is booming..

I want to study but money is the main concern which kept me off. How i wish i could take up study with no worries on school fees..

Being independent is hard but once you have overcome it, a newborn yourself will appear.

Sushi-Tei @ Raffles City

Ly has a sudden urge to eat sushi, then decided to eat at this outlet. I like their design of wooden path and the lightings by the side :) it's unique and can hardly find this type in shopping centres.

Went in and saw some queues, thought the queue can clear very fast. Indeed very fast, bcos manager is taking down the names and contacts of the customers and will inform them once the seats are available =.= Waited for 45mins for the seats to be ready. Waited for 45mins at least give us a better seats please and not the seat infront of the chefs, i don't need to see them cooking ler..but at that point of time didn't think that much as 2 hungry ppl are dying..

Ordered quite alot of food, main dishes like cold noodles and japanese curry rice. Side dishes like chawanmushi, sashimi, temaki, and some random sushies which i forgot the names. Quite disappointed in their curry rice as it taste totally like maggi-mee..i reckon maggi mee curry is better =.= Ly ordered the cold noodles with mixed ingredients(like chinese wedding, first dish is called Leng Pan), quite nice actually in terms of looks and taste :)

Overall like the food and maybe the ambience if we are given better seats..haha..

There's more Japanese Restaurants i have yet to explore. Like Hanabi near CHIJMES and 2 other restaurants in Cuppage Plaza. Who's interested?

Blogging

It's been 2 months since my last post. Probably ran out of ideas and stuffs to blog about. Just got myself a job at Jurong International Business Park, quite a nice environment to work in. It's a Norwegian company, and they are really nice people. At first, thought i might have some communication problems with the Norwegians because of their accent, surprisingly their accent isn't that strong :)

Every job, starting is always the same..BORING..but time flies fast, tick tock and it's time to go home. Maybe i should start a habit of updating my blog whenever i'm free.

Next i'll update on my trip to Genting Highlands and dinner at Sushi-Tei Raffles City.

Mushies...

If there are 100 people in this world that loves you, i am definitely among them...
If there are 10 people in this world that loves you, i am definitely among them too...
But if there is no one else left in the world that loves you...
That means i am no longer on this world because i can't have you...

When is your birthday?
The day when you were born...it's possible that it might be raining heavily...
Why is that?
Because the heavens were weeping over the ONLY angel descending onto earth...

Today when i return home...
I will go get a Global Positioning System (GPS)
Why is that?
Because i realise that i'm lost inside your heart...

Love is like a can...
Even though it will go out of shape, but it will not be destroyed...

Even though i dislike spring, but i like the flowers...
Even though i dislike summer, but i like the rain...
Even though i dislike autumn, but i like the falling leaves...
Even though i dislike winter, but i like the falling snow...
Even though i dislike the world, but i like you only...
(You are the whole world to me)

Do you know what's the color of the shirt that he is wearing?
Green...
Is that so?
Since i met you...
Other than you, the rest of the world is black and white to me!

Do you know why i'm looking at you like this with my eyes?
To me, the moment when i blink my eyes is very precious to me as well...

Every night i go out for a walk...
At 9pm, i'll walk to a place, do you know where that place is?
Where is it?
Inside your heart...

Another Day

Yesterday went to a coffee place near California Fitness in Somerset. Order their Cafe Mocha, it's really quite nice..guess i got addicted in drinking coffee in Manila :(

Question: Why i got addicted in drinking coffee?
Answer: Our dear Nicholas(蛇王), always asked me out to snake during office hour, and hang out @ Starbucks or a Cheesecake house drinking coffee..that's why..

After enjoying the coffee and played some games @ Cineleisure, sat down outside the building. I actually enjoyed looking at the people around, looked how they dressed and present themselves. Saw a couple, the guy was wearing very 'Lok' and the ger dressed up well, is this the trend? Can't really stand that when the ger put in effort in dressing up and the guy don't..

Yeah it's dinner time, had Japanese food at Cuppage Plaza..called '饺子王将' if i'm not wrong.. their Japanese Curry Rice is really nice and cheap, just $8/$9 for it..and their pan-fried Gyoza is nice too..didn't manage to take photo of those cos i'm too hungry to think of that lol..i'll recommend eating there cos it's really worth it..

As suggested by my friend, we went to Plasma, a ktv pub near Parklane..had a drink and chilling..manage to know some new friends through the 'Queen of pub' haha..she's the boss of the pub :)

That's how the day ends...kinda boring eh.. sobx..hope to have some things or people that will light up my life...

Back to Singapore

Finally i'm back to Singapore on 8th March 2008. Left the company due to quite alot of reasons..i better dont list out if not all will be sleeping back there..

Been in Manila 3 months, not too long and not too short, exposed and learnt alot during this trip..in terms of life and work, they're totally different from what i see or learnt in Singapore..

I shall talk on my colleagues..
Nicholas(烂人一个）- This particular guy talks alot of meaningful things to me and my other colleagues, which i totally agreed on what he said cos he's been through all these..when he's eating snake, will MIA at least 1hr lol, sometimes my boss also bey tahan..really glad that i came to know this person..he can really talk alot..imagine both of us sitting @ starbucks for 6hrs of chatting!!

Henky(Prince of Ayala) - Ayala is the condo i stayed in and well he's the prince..not sure how he got the title but he got it before i'm there haha..he's shortest among us, another slacker, everyday ask me out to smoke cos smoking is his only way to eat snake..and I DONT SMOKE!! he still ask me every now and then =.= then i became passive smoker duh..if i die young, please blame him..lol

Daniel(大牛) - Quite obvious how he got this nickname haha..he's a nice guy, my roommate who joined later than me..the only guy that i shared most of my stories with..he too has shared alot with me too..after he heard that i'm leaving, he thought of quitting too but somehow i persuaded him to stay and gave him as much support as possible..

That's a short summary on my 3 colleagues..

Revived!!

As suggested by LY, i shall revive the blog...
