ShoULd i RemoVE my WisDoM... tEEtH??

2 years back the dentist told me that sooner or later i will have to extract the 2 wisdom teeth on my lower jaw..as the position of these 2 wisdom teeth is slanting towards the molar teeth and left a small area in between that causes food to stuck in there.. each time after food i will need to use my tongue to dig the food out.. very tiring...and great possibility the food will accumulate and causes decay.. even brush of flosss cant get the food out..




today i'm digging the food with my tongue like usual..annoyed..checked with small mirror and to my surprise.. the two wisdom teeth already developed black spots on the side nearer to the molar teeth.. OHH NOOO... meaning that i will have to extract them soon.. else it will infect the molar teeth..

I HATE to see dentist...n i heard extracting wisdom teeth needs MC.. cause cant really eat/chew on that side.. So i have 2 to pluck.. i really not sure if i can go through this...

i think will only go to see dentist after cny.. at least i can enjoy all the food happily first before suffer from the pain...

he said he has a position as system engineer to administrator AIX & Sun Solaris machine.. i told him i dun have experience in this machines.. as im trained in hp-ux but not forgetting to tell him i have confident i can pick up in no time as they are all running on UNIX.. so he said he he will tell his colleague that i have hpux background n can pick up AIX & Sun Solaris.. willing to learn.. n he will fwd my resume to him.. well.. ok lor.. i dun mind more opportunities.. still polite to him..in IT industry.. must make sure we always keep the network..

anyway.. i wont put any hope in this company.. cos kena fouled once..

UnpreDictaBle...

Yesterday Dennis (NK's bf) informed me that Bee Bee's father passed away.. some colonary complication or something..

Today lunch with Irene.. she ask me again abt the fedex job vacancies..

3 positions.. 1 senior sys adm ( need to know unix+oracle ), 2 junior sys adm ( unix ).. contract 6 months still under Acacia..

Irene said the guy she set last time worked there for 2 years already and they get 1.5 (aws+bonus) and the salary is higher than my current basic.. mm.. not bad ..

i told her i better check with manager first see what he thinks.. this position is immediate.. which less likely i can go immediately ? talked to KH.. our conversations goes like this via sonork :

Me: "KH, did u know abt the fedex contract job from Irene?"
KH: "nope?"
Me: "mm.. ok"
KH: "what is it about?"
Me: "tony wee is looking for sys adm (unix + oracle) .. i thk he is trying to get 3 engineers from acacia..n Irene informed me abt this.."
KH: "oh.. i think its new."
KH: "u interested?"
Me: "yeah yeah"
KH: "go for interview lah.."
Me: "heee.. ok.. which means still under acacia lah.. irene said they want asap "
Me: "i send her my resume lor.. and see how"

FeLt CheAteD !!

Been talking abt the dba job that im waiting for to my chat frens..they encouraged me to call the manager .. at least know the outcome..no point waiting helplessly.. i called up the manager.. din answer.. later in the afternoon.. he sms me which goes like this:

" sorry missed your call. I am unable to place you at ssc as your salary will not fit into current budget.however we are impressed with your outgoing attitudes and would still like to consider you in our team.I have forwarded your resume to my colleague XX last week he will contact you "

AssHole..so i really felt cheated..so the discussion and promises are FAKE..really cannot take a verbal agreement seriously.. nothing is confirmed until signing the paper.. such a jerk..

Ken was telling me to scold him.. but i just replied him this way:

" Thanks for your reply. Jst curious isn't we agree on the range of X to X? anyway happy working to you "

Not sure why i add the happy working feel like sarca him but cant thk of the right word...then i realised that..could it be the resume that i fwded to him that i din change my original salary range ?? that's why he said my expected salary is too high ?? anyway forget abt this job.. have to keep looking.. sigh.. should be wiser now i hope.. learnt from mistake

i still have 1 more month ..including cny.. i have faith ..hope.. that i'll get a job.. now i din say get a job i want.. cos time seems short.. shorter...

Adi was telling me.. dun feel demoralised..else how am i going to fight for my dream job.. he decided to take up the CIBA position..glad for him..anything is better than being a remote support which outsider labeled as "HELPDESK" sound so low class...

so..keep searching.. tired but..this is LIFE as Adi said.. never expect only the best..smooth sailing.. should anticipate ups n downs.. ARRRRGGg....feel like screaming.. will be better after that.. at least i have my frens and family member as my supporter !!! so im not alone ..never alone

JL said

for those things we have....we treasure....
for those we hope for... we pray....
for those we are about to get.... be thankful....
for those people who support us.... we cherish....
for those we lose.... be strong....
this is life....

anoTHer inTerView coMpleteD.. SiaN..

Went to the getronics interview.. we are meeting at SIA blg which is one of their customer site "Michelin"..met up with the project manager.. his name is Kusani..i tot i'll be meeting indian.. but from his voice does not sound like indian.. so i guess he may be those fair fair indian, if good luck.. he could be good looking.. haaa..

when this "Kusani" appeared.. mm.. a bit bald..looks like indonesian or so...he wear coloured contact lense which immediately attract all attention to his eyes only.. haaa.. a very polite guy.. interviewing sessions with him and a program manager..whom does not seem to have much liking for me.. cos he keep smiling to himself.. n looks like wanted to end the session asap.. but this Kusani is patiently explaining the job scope.. basically this is a "bao ka liao" job..will have many extra scope/roles.. suckss.. n need to be on stand-by..but i dun mind starting from here so that i could have chance to polish up my oracle skill..

Then this program manager ask.. " why u want to do/concentrate only on oracle databases " a very good questions indeed..i was telling him i know system (OS).. so i want to know one layer above OS.. which will be databases or application.. sap is too expensive and the opportunity is too limited.. so oracle is a right choice for me..

and he said he wants to know the standard q.. " where will i see myself in 3 to 5 years time".. tot of telling him.. i'll probably be married n have kids.. .. haaa..of course i din tell him that..i told him... i'll be DBA by then..deep down im thking.. i wish..

that's all lah.. they gave me name cards.. say if have any qs can email/call them. and said they want to fill the position immediate.. so if they found someone who fit into the role and can start immediate.. they will hire him.. so this clearly hinting that i stand no chance lor...........

go home n sleep...

ShUtTer..Eeeee...

Watched this Thailand ghost movie called "shutter".. this is the second best ghost story i've watch since "The eye".. after watching still feel eerie over the image of the ghost sitting on the actor's shoulder.. geliiiiiii..



This movie was recommended by JH.. he said a MUST watch.. after watching it.. i totally agree with him.. a good and frightening ghost story.. a few scenes i have to close my eyes and got few shocks.. haaa.. by the way.. i watched in the afternoon.. with bright sunlight.. n i still feel the fear.. imagine if u watch at night and if u watch alone....the BEST part is the truth at the end when they revealed why the actor felt uncomfortable on the back of his neck and that when he weigh himself.. his weight is almost double ( b'cos the ghost is riding on him ) .......................................

maybe i should cut a copy ..bring home scare my sis in law.. she watch horror/ghost movie by shutting down the volume.. so she wont hear the sound effect.. clever huh...but no fun like that..

ForGeTful Day

Today went workout like most saturdays with HweeLi..packed my stuff before go out and when i reach the changing room..i realised that i left my sports shoes at home..and i forgot to bring extra shirt to change !! WHAT HAPPEN ?!? cant believe im that blur.. if i have my swimsuit i can still go swimming.. but now!!!

so i just do cycling with my sandal..HL accompanied me as she has too much to talk about.. and need someone to listen to her grumbling n everything..we both made appointment for facial after the work-out.. heee

today the lady who usually attended to me is not around so the other lady took over..i dun really enjoy her massage sessions.. but she really make me "beh tahan" so hard sell..keep asking me to renew the facial package..nearly like forcing me to sign.. wah lao... i have to lie saying that my sis may already help me sign up at another place i better check first..still have 3 more sessions.. really want to quickly complete the whole course then go else where..

tot of taking a short nap.. but maybe the coffee took with HL during lunch..cant sleep..so ended up watching tv and do my beads got to give HL else she will pester me again..Next week we will go shopping for cny clothes..

started to feel the cny atmosphere already..with cny songs from radio n shopping centres.. i think my favourite festival is CNY..not for the ang pow anymore.. but the gathering with family members..

when we grow older.. we will appreciate the time we have with our loved ones more n more.. reason being.. we dun see each other that often like when we were younger...n we dun have chance to fight or argue like when we were staying together..

JuZ AnoTheR daY..

Holidayz...went out with JL..but seems like we have some hiccup on the meeting up.. he tot im not goin out n i tot he wants to go out.. alamak.. anyway..we met up n hang out at ECP and PP.. Just another day.. where we dunno where to go ..what to do.. started to feel bored...not sure why..maybe the hot weather.. maybe it's me

not really in the mood for anything..too much things in my head..im someone who always have things in my head to think of.. not that i dun want to share.. but i just thk that it may not be the right time or i just need to figure it out myself..

Read sue's blog.. she is having interview on monday too.. we both been very keen in our job search.. hope we get what we want

Tried the ever so famous RotiBoy
Not that fantastic lah.. why people so mad about this bread !! i think breadtalk still better at least they have more choices..

maybe i'll have early night today.. maybe i'll finish up the story book..i felt so lonely all the sudden.. cos no one at home..

HoliDaYs..

Tomorrow no work.. yeh yeh..tomorrow no work..

Thomas sms..informed me sunday have class..informatics shifted to Jurong East.. so far.. siannn....

anyway.. today JF and i were discussing what to eat tonight.. my sis is home to Melaka .. so i got to settle my own dinner.. decided to cook instead.. after work, went to NTUC.. bought brocolli, carrots, green bean ( dunno what it is called ), bread and apples

came home, cook rice.. wash the vege.. going to boil the vege instead of frying.. healthier.. heee.. so i mix the brocolli+carrot+green bean.. and fry an egg.. that's my dinner..heee..

JF said she had tomato pork, kangkong and cai xin, she ta bao.. she said cook tmw..boil soup..

went through the photos JL sent from his Penang trip.. i pick this one to share with my blog buddies..especially Gis...she has been pestering me recently.. to show her JL's photo..ghaaaa..here u go.. we took a few together but very dark that's why never share here.. next time take nicer one..

MiGrAiNe .. arGGG..

I've been having migraine pretty often these days.. stress? not eating right ? sick? face too much of the PC ?

not sure what's the real cause but it is really not a pleasure experience.. usually if i sleep through the night it will dissapear.. but once or twice.. it prolong till the next day and that is really sickening..

search through the web, there is no cure for migrain.. i think im gonna ask JH for the medicine he recommended me last time.. he said it works for him hope it works for me too..

migraleve
JH said he took the migraleve pink one which is very effective but cant be overdose.

monday will go for a interview, a job recommended by Albert again.. phew.. so. since haven sign the job contract i'm free to take up any offer that comes along.. good n bad..


Argg.. still headache.. one-sided.. today is right. seldom get the pain on this side.. feeling weak .. weaker....

NeXt OpPorTuniTy

Today Albert (Bizlink job agent) called, he ask me if im interested for a position which he think fit my skill sets

i told him about the scs's follow up, he said he ia not being informed abt this .. the manager havent told him that they are taking me already.. mm.. suspicious.. i told him i met the manager last monday and we have somehow agree upon the terms n conditions except that he will try to ask for the price i ask for.. he said he can check.. and meanwhile he told me abt this job

a permanent postion at IBM( kaki bukit or changi south ) as some enterprise dunno waht engineer , monitoring the system tool, more for server and network.. he said this job can offer the salary that meet the range i ask for.. hooo... glad to hear that.. he said he sent a guy to another similar position for window and he said he has been doing well. so ow they r looking for another person for this position.. GREAT.. sounds good.. but not much interaction with the databases...


we i asked him, what should i do ? should i wait for the job (scs) or proceed to keep on searching for new job.. he said " proceed while waiting" mm.. exactly what i have in mind.. so he will arrange for the appointment.. hope to hear from him soon..heee

if i get the second job, i will go for it.. as it is a big company will definitely benefited more.. and i can also do a internal transfer of job scope..

PlanNing my LeAvEs..

Thinking over..and this is how im going to spend my 10.5 leave spreading across the 2 months.. till end of February 2005

manager said try to clear from 31 Jan onwards since before this time, there will be resources problem..

=========
February
=========
2/2( 1/2 day afternoon) till 4/2 == 2.5 days
8/2 & 11/2 == 2.0 days
21/2 till 28/2 == 6.0 days (19th till 22nd ==> Hong Kong)
=========
10.5 days
=========
So basically, i'll be working for 6.5 days in FEB.. isn't that a dream come true ?

mY LeO leO..

FeD - UP

MONDAY.. monday blues again..this was worsen by some my stupid teammates's attitude..

As we worked on Round-Robin manners, cases are taken in R-R, and each week we take turn to be the "GUI" the one who si monitor the software q..UNFORTUNATELY, this week i'm the GUI and as expected some monkey will try his BEST to make this the worst week of any GUI. except when he is the GUI..

Whenever it's his turn to take cases.. he will find all excuses.. want GUI to check this check that.. reject this reject that.. Good enough.. this morning the same old things happen again but this is not his turn but he is kind enough to help others to justify the sw-not-suppose to take case

Last friday, david already mentioned abt the ftp slow case to jackson n myself. we told him to check on the h/w portion, the NIC if he confirm no problem then he can pass to s/w for checking..

so, this morning, David happily pass the case over as he said CONFIRM not h/w problem.. well.. time for comeone to start his "acting".. he bombarded the team especially GUI. said h/w should check this check that.. blahhh.... n i have to revert whatever teammates said to David since he is the one who pass the case over.. he has his own view.. he is saying.. ftp is not h/w issue at all.. blahhhh... so i pass what he said to my teammates.. n that stupid Monkey bombarded with more sonorks.. i told him.. why dun u talk directly to David instead.. n he repluied "u r the GUI and not us " that really piss me off, i replied to teammates

" SO what if im the GUI, let me know if u guys want me to reject forward the case" THE END

so JH said he agrees with what cf said.. we shall reject fwd to david.. FINE. i reject the case. Deep down i really GLAD i choose to leave this whole damn place.. it is very unlucky n not a pleasure at all to work with someone who is so petty, not reasonable, acted as if he is senior so pls respect me kind of attitude.. ENOUGH of this..

and i really thk JH is sometimes two-face guy..this is what BK said n today i agree with her..

anyway.. after lunch i feel better.. and promise myself to try to be happy for the rest of the days im left with in this darn company..

and the good news is. im left with 9 days leaves plus 1.5 leave in lieu YIPEEE...

RoLL N BlaDe..

Yest Went blading with Ken, Gis and Wayne..mm.. we become so Onz..

Gis n Ken can blade a little while Wayne n i are like duck learning how to walk properly.. I still have phobia from last blading session 2 years back.. i dun dare to look up.. concentrate on each step.. and guess what.. i din fall at all.. ghaa.. so i thk this is some achievement isn't it ?!?

anyway.. im still having body muscle aching from friday yoga-ing..

Ken is chiong us to blade this sat again.. a bit tempted but see how lah..friday no work..yipeee.. but the stupid ccnp starting again this sunday.. de-moralising.....

SaTuR-DAY

Started my workout routine.. saturday..sis n i decided to go swimming instead of gym.. we haven been swimming for sooo long.. i think i haven swim for more than a year..luckily i still have remember how to swim


We went to the swimming pool that was for NUS-alumni but planet fitness members are allowed to use the pool. Not so big, and the water is just five feet..after few laps i'm out of breath.. really old liao.. but the pool water is extremely cold.. that make me have to keep swimming to warm-up my body..

After swimming, we went back to fitness centre and had our weekly sauna..met HL, she looked so tired, with dark ring under her eyes..she said this is the most 'headache' project she ever handled.. and hopefully the problem can be solved by next week.. phew.. life of a consultant.. a dream job of mine .. is not easy as it seems.. so.. enjoy the care-free life i have now.. while i still have it..


Today is master Lim's yearly gathering..i din go the past few years..but this time round he emailed us so paiseh to reject .. went along with SN, JF as well as ML..
As expected, there are many PRCs( China chinese )..we feel so out of place.. as usual, we hide into the TV room and watch "POLICE STORY"..and let Thomas entertaint us by his super funny jokes and his 'papasan' role.. ghaaaa..how to live with man like this ? i think i laughed to death to each of his joke..he is still the funniest guy in BBC (Black-Belt-Club).. althought he still a red-belter but he has been member for so long, so BBC accepted him as member already .. haaaaa


After the movie, we have b'day songs.. Ohh.. this year we din get to eat cake.. wonder why.. maybe they dun have enough for everyone .. they bought 3 cakes for master Lim..haaa.. we left around 4:30.. i really cant stand the warm temperature in his house.. maybe too many people.. feel like goin to get sick..so i din join SN they all to china town, went home to take nap instead.. zzZzZzz.. sleeping queen..

ML said she predicted that she will have a promotion this coming february, good for her as she has been working hard towards this i guess.. as the rest of us.. most things remain almost the same.. not much changes.. except my job switching.. they will go Kota Kinabalu climbing.. which i cant be joining.. sob sob..

Tmw will go blading with Ken n Gis.. hopefully i dun come back with bruises..

REad Adi's blog.. want to keep this blog for my future reference..
Tiramisu cake making

YoGa-iNg..

after skipping so many week of classes.. finally im back to gym.. work-our work-out work-out.. fat liao.. feel so much "bak"...



After work, rush to fitness centre, luckily still can make it to Pilates..45 minutes of stretching.. after that stay on to follow the Astanga yoga class

Finally i start my yoga class.. lots of stretching & breathing.. a bit hard in the beginning as the twisting and bending make me feel a bit "black-out" cos the instructor keep asking us to bend down.. head touching the knee, palm underneatth the feet.. however.. after few minutes of strecthing.. things seem better.. at least start to know how to stabilise my posture.

Each movement have some name for it.. but of course i dun really get what the instructor said..

check through this some website for
Astanga yoga
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashtanga Yoga literally means "eight-limbed yoga," as outlined by the sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. According to Patanjali, the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self consists of the following eight spiritual practices:

Yama [moral codes]
Niyama [self-purification and study]
Asana [posture]
Pranayama [breath control]
Pratyahara [sense control]
Dharana [concentration]
Dhyana [meditation]
Samadhi [contemplation] (Scott 14-17)

The first four limbs—yama, niyama, asana, pranayama—are considered external cleansing practices. According to Pattabhi Jois, defects in the external practices are correctable. However, defects in the internal cleansing practices—pratyahara, dharana, dhyana—are not correctable and can be dangerous to the mind unless the correct Ashtanga Yoga method is followed (Stern and Summerbell 35). For this reason, Pattabhi Jois emphasizes that the "Ashtanga Yoga method is Patanjali Yoga" (Flynn).

i'll try to follow the class every friday..try lah..
