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...

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.
