LaST BloG foR YeaR 2004

Last day of 2004...last day of the month..of the year..

I guess many company is on 1/2 day.. my sis is at home happily watching new tv programs from the newly installed starhub cable tv..JF is on one day off.. didn't know Jap company is so generous in giving off days... this is the first.. so good.

similar "quietness" as x'mas eve.. both fall on friday...haven tot of where to go later.. see fireworks at esplanade? colleague said it has been cancelled.. mm... i bet it'll raining in the evening just like any other week day this week.. cooling day.. so pasir ris makaning cancelled.. stay indoor..


Forgotten to send greeting card to aunty Jackie during x'mas.. so now.. sent a new year card to her..heee..

Happy 2005 to all !!

JF into Blog-ING

Today not as free.. cases need some concentration.. i find that i start to have lesser n lesser control on my hpux skill as i seem to pass many cases to backline than solving it myself.. sigh.. how if i dun touch on hpux for a month or so. i think i'll forget all the command line in no time...

today JF gotten her own blog.. she already had 4 blog in one day.. haaa.. i guess i shall see more of her blog only after she come back from her holiday in year 2005..



today.. gotten to know that K actualy appealed to management on the bonus matters.. that explained why there r so much discussion goin on btw him n managers.. they explained that it's techinical fault that he din get the bonus.. BULLSHIT.. what a lame excuse.. and small KH said he is not the one deciding on the bonus.. and big KH said the bonus depends on immediate manager's PE.. all bullshit.. pushing the responsibility.. such a lousy management.. i'm glad i choose to leave.. sick of them..

Another piece of news.. A will be taking the assignment to go to Pakistan.. he will leave in early Jan and be back end of Feb.. sob sob.. wont be seeing him anymore as my last day will be end of feb..All the best to him..

D the new s/w rce. seems to be very optimism abt his job... good thing.. but the bad side is he has been very updated abt us (older rce).. he heard abt our bad bonus.. abt why we r leaving and stuff..i guess this isn't something we can control.. we cant b stopping these from letting him know.. can we? haaaa.. as least he is prepared for the worst..

Anyway..today pretty tired.. zzZzzzZZzzz... another day that i feel time is stopping...

AfteR-ThOUghT..

Went for the rescheduled interview today.. this time round it's the company VP who is under the weather.. very unusual interview.. as he din ask any 'techinical' q.. and a lot of silent moment.. ended up i ask him questions.. he n the hr keep going through my resume..as if thinking very hard to come out with a question..weird..

Here are the questions asked ( write down before i forget )

Firstly, give us a brief introduction of yourself

He said Curious, why i will go into OS since not many people will actually do OS..told him this is my first perm job since out of U.. so happen to get this job.. naturally i start off my career in this area.. im not keen in pragramming, thus this job suited me

She asked me basically what i'm doing for my current job.. give her a brief explaination

A long pause, they r running out of qs i guess, so i ask

Basically, what will this posiiton be doing? administrator servers ? internal servers?

--> he then briefly explained to me about the job.. the company.. where r they heading..
--> from the description, it seems like it requires in-depth network skill <<-- he said yes
--> they r using linux n windows servers

my turn to ask, as i;m curious, in my resume i dun have experience in windows or linux.. what make him thk i;m suitable for this job ?

-> he said window is easy to pick up.. linux almost similar to hpux.. unix is more valuable.. mmm.. okok.. aceptable.. as i thought the same.. heee

Then, he asked

what make me want to leave current job

--> since i cant use "oracle" as selling point, so i tell him i've worked with hpux for the past 2 1/2 years.. i knwo i still have so much to learn but as we r in IT line..we should continuously upgrade out skillset.. thus,, i went for courses and decided to move on from current job..he nod nod said fair enough?!?

tt's all we have i think.. then he said they will have few more days of interviewing session and will definitely keep me informed of the status.. positive or negative.

anyway.. this job definitely require strong network skill. which i fear i may not be competent.. anyway.. shall not let this trouble me.. will think abt it if only they decided to hire me

2 more days and it's end of 2004...so i'm left with 2 months more to get a job..and i have lesser n lesser motivation to work...

J has been idling these days.. each day she chatted with her chat fren n posted all kind of funny qs.. that does provide some entertainment to both of us..she said she will pick up her Japanese..next time if she is out of job... she can teach Japanese..

so.. what's my plan in case im out of job... this may happen 2 months later..sigh.. i told her.. maybe i will go n learn yoga.. teach yoga instead.. everyday twist n turn..heee..

mum is around.. everyday can have home-cooked food... so nice...mum always the best !!

BEaCH Day-DREamiNg..

27th December.. Monday...maybe most people still holidaying.. maybe in Phuket or Maldives.. not many cases dropping in..went through HL's India's trip picture.. 900 over i guess.. my eye-balls almost drop out... nice pictures but too much at one go..

2:34 pm...still so quiet.. bored.. really bored.. took a case..but everything seems to slow down.. like the time been stopping for awhile..what can i say.. just bored..

Started to thk of Port Dickson...we already booked the resort for CNY.. last time went there.. we've been to the beach, night market and ostrich farm .. if not mistaken.. as i don't remember seeing any ostrich.. but snakes.. rabbits.. horses..and the camel.. poor camel.. he looks so dry under the sun.. and thin..ohh.. i think i saw ostrich.. now it came to my mind..even took picture with them...


How i wish i'm at the beach now...


Longed to have sun tan.. it's been very very long since i have any sun tan... i haven gone to swimming for ages too.. wonder if i can still swim...sigh... if not the beach.. can i have the bed ? how i wish i'm at home lazing around.. sleeping.. with my smelly garfield..

i'm just feeling.. bored.. no mood to work...no motivation... zzZZZzzzzZZzzzzz...

PiccY to share..

Friday.. A brought his oh-so-impressive camara.. the one i longed to have.. but too heavy for me.. i prefer something that i can easily carry around.. but this camera of his is cool.. when carrying it.. anybody will look so professinal.. and here are the pictures taken..

First snap.. BK and i.. heee.. 2 gals in Software Solution Centre
Pic 1

Second snap.. BK n i again.. this time showing more of her huge tummy..baby on da way
Pic 2

We were saying.. she looks so motherly like already.. heee.. i look a bit pale..must b cos too pressure in front of her tummy.. ghaaaa..

And lastly.. the photos of my 3 new colleagues.. the gal suppose to replace me..takes over my seat.. my PC.. my dustbin.. my cubicle.. well.. she can have it all..heee

NatuRAL DisaSter..

I think yesterday's news was catchy enough to make me stare at the TV for at least 10 minutes.. Described as the strongest earthquake in the world in 40 years unleashed flash floods and giant waves on South and South-east Asia.

Affected countries...mostly coastal areas in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and the Maldives..



Airports are closed.. flights are cancelled.. they were showing this s'porean who is planning to go phuket.. he was frustrated over the cancellation as there will be no refund for the plane tickets.. he said "UNFAIR".. am thiking.. then send him over to phuket and let him drown in the sea.. some showed sign of relief, if they were there at that moment.. they might be the victim of the disaster..

Life is so unpredictable..

so live it to the fullest and appreciate the time we have while we have.. You never know what will happen the next minute to come..

2005 New YeaR rEsoluTiOn ?!?

Yeah yeah yeah.. new year coming.. and time to recap the whole of year 2004 and prepare for the year of 2005..

start to dread about " New Year " ..each new year means i'm one year older.. sigh... where were the days when i'm eagerly looking forward to each new year..??!!

Anyway... when get older.. new year is celebrated differently.. a more passive way..hoping for health and happiness..for people i love and people who love me..

JL was asking me what are the few new year resolutions i have for this year. as he jokingly said his new year resolution would b "not to work too hard"..

i have lots.. but i dun intend to list them out.. as listing them out means i'll have to accomplish them ? putting invisible pressure on myself..

Looking through the year of 2004.. i think i have some achievements.. i din specifically determine to do them.. just go along with what comes along.. and what i initially plan to do..

career & studies

Decided to enroll in informatics IT professional courses in Nov 2003.
Completed the whole of Oracle9i and the certification in Oct 2004
Currently still struggle with the cisco courses... argg..

Intend to leave current job and look for better job opportunity else where..Tender from current job without a job in hand in December 2004

Current worries:
Can i smoothly get a "Better" job with better salary ? Will this job too stressful? will i still have my own time like now?.. when can i stop worrying..


Health & Life

Lost my dad in January..been in my paternal history that we inherited diabetes threat since my grandfather's generation..a few of my aunties were suffering with diabetes too.. so i decided to watch what i eat and do more exercise,keep my heart pumping .. happened to know HL and i guess i join fitness centre b'cos she is there.. easier to keep to work-out routine with gym buddy..now my sis is out gym buddy too... way to go..

The next best thing has to be goin steady with JL.. muaksss.. not sure what he has, that keep me around...i guess must be his so-down-to-earth and modest character? which i seldom feel it from my other frens..we have gone as far as we can go..hopefully we will be still together for the next 20..30...40 years to come..



Travel & Open my eyes

Since in school.decided to travel to at least one new location overseas each year to widen my perspetive of life.. see new things.. new cultures..new food.. new adventures..
This year.. we( Mum, sis & i ) went to Shang Hai .. that was a great trip i must say..first time in china.. nice screnary and natural landscape.. really amazing.. n the people there.. their life-style..but i think i'll NEVER stay in china.. cos i still prefer life back here.. one thing i miss the most when in china.. COFFEE.. they only drink tea...how to live !!.. haaa


My next travel country ==>Hong Kong


So..i guess my 2005 new year resolution goes like this..No obligation.. list out does not mean they have to be accomplished.. but BEST if can..but it's ok if not.. heee..

live healthily. exercise regularly and eat more greens.. wanted to lose few more kg.. 5 is the best..kekek

Spend within limit.Keep track of my spendings.

Explore all places in s'pore..including bird park...botanical garden..

start new hobby.. such as bead making.. cooking..

Make my bed every morning

Housekeep my table more often..

Concentrate on things i do..short memory.. i thk it has to be my lack of concentration

Spend some time thinking of our future..future with JL..

Cut down on coffee in-take.. from daily to just weekdays? or maybe to just weekend.. casual coffee taker..

Think of what will b my next travel destination..

Start Yoga ?? been delaying this..

take time to clear my wardrobe..i'm still wearing the same clothes i wear to work 2 years ago.. time to get some new clothes ??

Trying to understand how my mum is feeling at her age.. interesting..as i'll b in this stage 30 years later..."retirement" comes to my mind .. where will i be and what will i b doing?

send more emails to aunty Jackie..keep her updated of my life and vice versa

....the list continuessss...

i'm thking.. maybe i should learn to meditate .. clear my mind.. like server "RS" then will have a better room for "improvement".. heee..

S'pore NeW SculptuRes

Started to notice new sculptures in explanade.. suntec.. some bronze ( nearly black ) sculptures lying around these location... The first observed is the plump lady lying happily in suntec exhibition hall..

Second is the big head of some artist


The rest are located in front of the millenia tower.. near the river bay... if not mistaken, there are some along boat quay..

Yesterday...while trying to cut through some building to go to city hall.. saw this couple sculpture..interesting.. happen to have my camera in hand.. there u go..1..2..3.. say cheese.. snap snap..



heee.. happy hunting for nice pictures..in s'pore..

X'maS Eve..

Plan to go shopping.. have nice dinner and catch a movie with J & HL today.. but HL was caught up with work..can tell from her tones that she is not in great mood in that cust side.. we waited for her to book the movie ticket..when she called up around 5pm ..seems like too late to make any booking ..

J suggested to go her place since her housemate will b having some gathering n will prepare food.. just hang out at her place.. well.nothing much to do.. agree to go along..I was thking of goin orchard and checkout the heeren bead shop G mentioned... but J keep saying will sure b crowded like last year...

Flash back what we did last year this time round.. met up with J,S and B.. we had western food..x'mas must eat western food..hee.. took pictures with some x'mas trees at orchard.. and met up with W n his pal.. not a bad x'mas as we had great time together.. n finally met my icq pal..not exactly how i expect him to look like..anyway..not sure i'm being nice or not knowing how to reject..i ended up buying insurance with him.. sigh...


Back to 2004.. J n i went to shop for her new phone at JE... she got herself a sony ericson k700i.. with second battery + handsfree.. for just $289... not a bad deal.. 2 years singtel contract..i think i wont chg phone for the time being.. cos i still like my current samsung N500..

After some light shopping..we went back to her place.. ther housemate started their so-called christian gathering.. J & I with her another housemate stay in her room to watch "Wu Zhong Xian" guess guess guess.... funny.. nothing much to do actually.. their house was so stuffy that i really feel like going home.. so i make a move around 9 plus...

Reached home.. still the best place to be.. comfy and smell familiar... so..that's how i spent my 2004 x'mas eve..as simple as that..so..i guess tmw then i'll go n search for my beads to start my year end project.. mum coming next week.. she may be my great helper.. as she is good in these stuff..

nitey....shall not sleep early.. as i'm still so stuffed with food.. especially "PIZZA". i dun thk i'll have pizza for at least a month now.. burppp...

BeaD-inG

Today xchange x'mas gift with G & B.. the most unwanted gift voted via radio that i happened to buy was revealed.. heee.."photo-frame"..nice frame... i like it actually.. heee.. hope they like it as much.. n the worst thing is that stupid sales ger din peal off the price tag.. really nothing to say abt these sales person.. hopeless..

STOrY boOK..

3 days MC.. got some time to finish up my story books..i always likes to read.. just stay at home n read a nice story book.. with nice cup of coffee..this is considered a luxury to me..


The title of the book "Staying at Daisy's" by Jill Mansell

Not a bad book though.. talking abt this lady.. once married .. not a happy marriage.. husband was drop dead gorgeous but was fooling around.. he was then died in a car accident beside his girlfriend.. what a news to Daisy..

The story describes how she started her new life with her father (hotel owner).. frens (Tara) & x boyfriend (Josh)...

The story ended with happy ending .. all coupled with the right person.. n i suppose they will live happily ever after .. haaaa

There is another book.. which i dun thk i could finish reading.. due date is this sat.. so.. forget it..


Checking with J for nice books.. she is books collector.. but the books she read now.. is more on those about phylosophy ..abstract stuff.. she said not for me.. well.. she may b right.. as i'm not good at imaginaring things.. prefer things that i could picture..

ReLIeF..

No Dengue.. No dengue..relieeeefff


But still have rashes..the doctore keep assuring me that these ugly patches will definitely go away in no time.. he is giving me some pills which will cause drowsiness but effective.. we will see how effective it is.. i had injection n still the rashes stay.. shall now have lunch then eat emdicine.. then sleep through the day..

The third job called in, malay chap.. ask me some of the techinical qs.. blahh.. he sounded modest..not sure how he thk of me.. cos through phone not face to face.. cant read the expression.. he said will tell his boss and shall give me a call back.. finger cross..

Second interview was cancelled.. the hr din reply me to reschedule.. anyway.. no fate with this company lah.....

Shall keep applying..n may the right job comes by..now.. i need only concentrate on my health.. stupid rashes..

Still hate the chicken i had ..KFC must have injected soemthing to it.. that causes the rashes on me..

NePheWsss..

Yes.. i Am vERy free.. few blogs a day.. keeps the rashes aWaY ..


Tot Of sharing some of my nephew's photos..
First nephew 7 years old..
Yann

Second nephew 1 year plus
Chen

Closer to Yann as i have spent more time with him.. the very first moment when he was born 7 years ago.. we have waited anxiously for his arrival..and now he is this mischevious boy who is going to primary 2 soon.. which means his aunty, who is myself.. is getting older while he is growing up...Talking about aging...


Chen was born last year in August.. My father was there when he came to this world. but my father din have chance to see him grow old enough to call him "Gong Gong" .. sigh...He is such a darling now.. soooo cute.. much chubbier than his brother..


Cant get our hands off him.. cos too adorable.. The best thing is Yann loves his brother very much.. they r 6 years of age difference.. maybe tt's why... he miss his brother whenever he is away n play with him.. share his toys.. n not stingy to give extra food or toys to Chen.. hopefully thier brotherhood remain when they grow up..

My 2 nephews.. MuaSkkkk.. wish they grow up healthy n strong.. i can tell that they will b lady killer in the future.. heee.. watch out gers out there.. they r gonna break ur heart.. heee

ReD-NEsS...

cry my hearts out..morning got up.. was so shock with the red patches till on my legs n arms.. even on the hands.. lucky face is still clear from it..

Afternoon.. my face starts to get the red patches.. my back has red spot.. cannot tahan already... went to see doc again... temperature taken.. seems like i have 0.9 deg of fever ( 37.9 ) doc said tmw come n test blood.. the red spots n frver seems like symptoms for dengue ??? !!! Noooo...

he said 3 posisbilities
(1) food allergy <<-- less likely as all along i dun have this problem
(2) environment <<--- dirt .. mmm..office toilet renovation ????
(3) infection <<-- some infection he mentioned but the scientific term.. dun
understand..

he wants to confirm it is not dengue.. cos he said does not seem like it.. but to b sure better test blood.. more than happy to test.. but they closing at 430 so have to wait till tmw.. meaning my interview got to cancel.. sucks!!!



Worried.. cos i've been mc for 2 days.. tmw another day.. the longest mc i've taken so far.. recently.. everything is not that smooth.. so super bad luck..

Finger cross.. tmw result will not b shocking....got to watch what i eat !!

3rd OpPortUniTY..

Seems like my CV is not that bad kekke.. as the agent said my bakground is very interesting..he said the company ( data centre ) needs a juniour dba whom need to act as unix administrator.. sounds exactly what i want.. good..

The set-back is this is a contract job.. 1 year.. after that i may b out of job.. K said hers no mc, no leave.. 1 year too.. make me worry.. cos recently i fall sick too often.. like rotten apple..fragile..

that agent said i will have leaves n MCs.. as well as 13t month.. hoo.. sounds better now. So, i'm expecting calls ( tele-interview ) this evening or tmw evening.. got to quickly write down what i will ask.. n calculate.. if they ask to start early.. i've got to pay current company .. i think i'll try to ask for more.. if possible..

RAsh-eS day..

worried on the case.. but this is not that worrying anymore as i was attacked by super itchy rashes.. 'feng mo'..phew.. scary patches all over the body n the itch is unbearable... scratch n scratch...

go to work like usual as today i must go n see how's the progress of the stupid case.. after lunch. i strongly believed it's the egg i took that is causing the rash to become so serious...


eyes swollen .. like two eggs.. went to see doctor.. cant wait.. worried to death.. how if it swell till i cant see !!! doctor said my eyes swell like frog eyes %#!%@ good description..n i got 2 days mc for that.. dun mind being frog .. really .. heee..

now home.. nothing much to do..maybe finish up the story book .. or sleep through the day.. cant go out with the redness all over.. ugly !!

eNDINg OF aNOTHeR weekEND..

Second last lessson for ccnp( multilayer switching )..tot today will b the last.. sighh mnext week still have 3 chapters to cover...if only he concentrate in his teaching we have long completed the course.. wat a lazy instructor he is..

yesterday went to shop for x'mas gift... bought something which i think if quite nice n useful.. but today T told me the gift i bought has been voted as the most unwelcome x'mas gift on radio ??? i hope they like it.. cos bought already..

Sigh.. what a weekend.. been feeling troubled over the stupid case.. sob sob..K was telling me that he fed up with his job too.. overloaded with work n stuff.. n telling me no point agitated over work..some how he is right.. but i jst cant control my mind from feeling so down over it..

JL was telling me to face it..must b professional over our job.. yeas..this is it.. this is why i've been feeling so guilty n sinful over this case.. cos i felt that i've not done well in this part with that customer.. i got agitated by his tone... can u believe it?? deep down i heard " who cares.. i've resigned.. go ahead complaint me ".. tt's why i have been blaming myself for leaving the cust jst like that...

No..must start to clear my head.. i want to stay n keep my professionalism even the last day as long as i'm still supporting the customer.. i hope i do this.. n hopefully not having another cust who will make me losing this...

feeling better after spilling out.... thanks to my frens who is listening.. Muak.. love u all..

BlacK FRiday..ended with GuiLt...

today is not a bad day .. a bit tired with cases.. but still can bear with it... around 5 plus this irritating customer called in.. he informed before hand that he is going to shut down his server.. he needs guidlines to shut down his oracle n sap applications.. he obviously been logging few calls for this same issue..and colleague A and AOH indian rce already guide him through with the steps..

He called in and told me he has problem from certain steps when trying to shutdown his oracle .. he cant exit from the su session to # prompt ..not even with ctl+c...so ask him if he has another telnet session.. he din even bother to cooperate or check.. a stern 'NO' and expect me to do wonder solve it !!.. he asked to check with A.... n when i try to clarify the problem on where he has problem.. he kept quiet.. reluctantly repeat it.. and said he want to do it on production now.. i informed him.. we better check on the issue on development first ( as he keep saying to check with colleague A ).. informed him i shall get the resource to assist him.. he then not happy with that said " what r u going to do if u do not know where his problem is".. i repeated the problem as explained.. he then said ok..

promised to give him a call 5 minuts later... but not sure why.. i just find him so irritating..pain in the ass.. case has been passed to aoh to assist him.. so.. i decided to let aoh to help him instead.. as i was online with omniback issue..

AOH took the case n sonork me.. i told him to call cust n he said ok.. then cust called in.. said i promise to give him a call.. told call mgt F that i was irresponsible.. said i was rude??? what the heck.. this make me more reluctant to even want to take his call what else expect me to give him a call.. i told F.. if he is not happy go ahead n COMPLAINT abt me.. who cares anymore.. sucker !!!



A reluctant to take his call either as he experience with this cust b4..we then went off together.. instruct F to just pass it to AOH..serve him right.. he doesn't understand indian slant? well.. he has to live with it if he keep behaving so arrogantly..

left office.. went to gym.. but guitl strike me.. i kept thinking abt the case.. what happened now.. i've never done like this b4.. refuse to take cust call or even call cust when he asked to talk to me.. maybe cos i anticipate some scolding from him.. tt's why i just dun want to hear his voice ? too bad.. too late to ammend it.. i just thought that i should just give him a ring.. the most is listen to his sarca scolding ...

well.. not much i can do now... being perceived as "irresponsible... rude.." not a nice thing to know...shall see what can i "ammend" on monday.. this weekend i shall have to stuck with this..

My sis n HL kept saying.. let it go.. no point thinking of it ...can i ??

Very bored these days.. no motivation... holiday mood...ArrGGG.. quickly get a job then i shall book ticket to HK.. cant wait ...

MUd-PiE-inG

when was the last time i had mudpie.... last year probably.. the last time was with N (colleague) at coffee club.. cant forget the thick chocolate ice cream layered on top of some biscuit with nuts.. who can resist this...

saturday, JL n i were thinking what to eat for dinner. we were early.. and passed by n.y.d.c.. i have this craving for their mudpie at that very moment.. sounds like pregnant lady's sympton ? heeee.. drag him to the q.. and we had our first mudpie.. yumm...we ordered tiramisu mudpie..something like the photo below..



then, spaghetti and dynamite pizza..enjoying our mudpie..can't explain in words how satisfying this is..he like it... glad that we share the same delight..

but i think i overstuffed him as i'm not very hungry.. so he has to swollow the whole plate of spaghetti ( u know how large portion n.y.d.c. food is..) and share the 2 pieces of spicyyyy pizza with me....heeee..

no choice.. who ask him to b guy.. guy usually takes in all the 'left-over' food.. ghaaaa....


we shall continue our mudpie-ing.. try out other restaurant's.. one by one..
sinful but satisfying..

Add On 2 d' BLoG

Finished class nearly at 5pm.. today did a few practical.. quite interesting but i still not very sure what to do.. need help from coursemate still.. why must the creator make such a fuss about the switches n routers ?? n make us all have to remember all the configuration and commands !!



come back home.. online and beutify my blog.. added doodle board.. added calendar.. added weather info...still very manual as i edit mostly on the html.. i think the weather still need to be updated manually.. shall think of a way to make it automatic.

meanwhile.. i though of creating some blog site for my work.. probably link for oracle n cisco to note down useful info on these..and easier reference for myself and whoever with the same interest..



Yippeee.. finally i've spent some time on this... another thing need to do..maybe i should have a to-do list so that i'll b more organise.. bought the RJ45 (straight cable) now i know pc-pc is using cross cable.. pc-hub is using straight cable.. boutgh 20m of this rj45.. now need to find time to pull it through the wall to my room so that i can online from my deskstop... hoo...

9 years ago (1995) before we graduated from high school (MGHS) someone (should b Bee Bee ) suggested that we meet 10 years later at Renaissance hotel, 1st January 2005..

I believed not everyone take this seriously back then ? as i myself take this purely as a statement rather than a promise ...

During chinese new year this year, some of us met at JM's home to see the then pregnant lady.. this was being brought up again... it is nice to have the gathering and that someone still remember and want to make it come true.. great time to catch up with each other...but how many will turn up ? i myself cant make it as i'll b in s'pore and most of all 31/12 is anniversary with JL.. heee.. so already booked the date..

however, i think my high school friends are much better compare to other fren's high school's fren as some of us still keep in touch... still more or less know what each other is doing.. not frequent update but better than no updates..

Hopefully.. the next 10 years down the road.. 20..30 years we still remember each other...and doing great in whatever we are doing.. career woman or mother...

counting down to my last day in this company..it's not that i dun have any feeing twds my working environment.. colleagues.. customers.. but just have to move on..

a bit dissapointed as the interview din seem to have any news.. eventhough T said the manager is not an easy boss ( can tell from his look n the way he ask q ) but i just feel that i'm never good in interview.. not that good for impromptu kind of situation.. before i landed with this first job .. i went fo many interviews till i'm so scared of the mention of the word 'interview'..people are attarcted to my resume n cover letter.. but when they 'interview' me they find that i'm not the best candidate? maybe?

i think i'm someone who is confident.. ? or am i not? i have the qualification.. the work experience.. do i have to worry abt getting a job?? well.. i think i still have to..heee..anyway.. i'll always try to give my best..

weird.. job posting is not as active these few days.. why ? n those jobs posted are not what i'm interested in..


still actively searching.... hope i got one i like & can settle down.. n i plan to go HK as a celebration once i'm landed with a job.. kekeke.. must always pamper myself..encouragement..

BAck-Pack ManIA

Wanting to get a new backpack for some time.. look around for good deal... wanted to get a deuter backback but the price is really discouraging.. not sure if worth it or not but it seems durable and fashionable.. many people is carrying it..

yesterday went parkway wif JL.. din plan to buy any bags actually.. just have a look at the shop with some promotion... am eyeing at another red deuter bag.. about 80 buck... JL saw the 39 dollars red deuter bag.. which the design is simple but quite nice... worth the price.. really cant get a deuter bag with this price .. really.. think twice... should i get it ?.. finally i bought it..heee... anyway my old backgroup is tearing at the front part.. time to get new one...




happy purchasing... it is always good to be able to spend.. but have to start controlling.. as i'm always spent without realising where and what i've spent.... bad habit..

LeaViNG

Been Thingking over n over for weeks.. after seeing the meagre bonus... really have no reason to stay on.. so.. Off i shall go.. there is always a better place for a better person like me.. hooo

I dun like changes.. always comfortable with the routine lifestyle .. stick with something i'm good at.. but if i stay on like this.. i shall remain where i am.. salary will b that static.. n feeling poor n underpaid forever..

To make full use of the courses i attended.. which i've spent thousands for the course fees.. i shall start looking for a job that can help me explore more into database.. n hopefully with better pay..

3 months more to b around... n what piss me of is that the super wu liao person also resign 3 days after i tender.. sickening... copy cat !!! finger cross that i will not see him anywhere ever again.. cos i just cant have such colleague anymore.. life will be shorten..

MAX-ing ALL D' Way

Finally, i've gotten my maxonline installed... great deal with the x'mas promotion..

With this convenience.. i can online as long as i like to.... what a luxury... but each month have to deposit my 71.80 to starhub for the next 2 years..:( Luckily my sis is sharing 1/2 of the load.. kekekek.. love her.. muak..

JL said it is not worth it.. as the PC ( free gift ) does not have good hardware specification.. well.. after comparing with some alternatives, this is still the best buy ? hope i'm right...

Enough of the maxing... i have loads to share/ spill out.. eventually i shall have more in my very own blog..

Need to explore more on how to get those beutiful features such as emotiona icons.. picture n stuff in.. beutify this blog..
