And so passes a phase of my NS life, the easy phase...wondering where will i go next...hmmm...where ever it is, i juz hope its a slack unit...cuz i juz cant bring myself to be in a "chiong sua" mood all the time...no wait...i was never in the "chiong sua" mood! hehe!

WHY??? wat if i get into a unit dat'll confine mi during dat period??? i'll be so devastated...i think i have a way to counter that...hmmm...SAF Hotline! "hello...SAF Hotline...i'm feeling very depressed...because...because..." hehehehehehehe!
where ever i'm going for the next phase of my NS life...i think i'll juz throw it at the back of my mind and enjoy my block leave holiday first...gotta catch up with so many people...my dear esp...miss her so much!!!

The wonderful colour place i call world~
Couple of days ago, on Thurs actually, Old Man Boss called mi up for another job, ushering for another concert event. Now i daresay i have attended quite a few genres of concerts before...chinese pop, chinese oldies, ang moh oldies...but that day was a new experience for mi...how abt hard rock heavy metal??? Yes, i was doing the SlipKnot concert...
Now, not that i was complaining...cuz Old Man Boss and the other old farts considered this concert a BIG event, some more held at fort canning...but why...why did Old Man wanna throw mi the walkie talkie on dat day? sob sob...having need to hold dat means ur identified as a senior, being identified as a senior means u dun receive instructions...u GIVE instructions, and if u give WRONG instructions...u can kiss ur ears goodbye, cuz they'll be blasted away through the walkie talkie ear piece by Old Man Boss...
to think dat dat was my first time being a senior...one old fart walks over to mi saying..."u first time senior ah? today big event eh, good luck ah!" and gives mi a smirk and a pat on the back...how to not cock up i ask u?
so carried on the concert...i was initially assigned 2 guys and a butch under my supervision...but subsequently the 2 guys got taken away by Old Man Boss as other stations were short-handed...so i was left with the butch for awhile, nothing against her, infact she was pretty nice person :) until an indian chic walked up the stairs and past us and the butch said to mi..."She's hot...she's my type, I LIKEEEEEEEEE!!!" noe how often have u seen a gal go gaga over another gal i ask u? colourful people with colourful ideas...
to make the night more interesting, a slack queen was posted to my station...though it was almost as good as she being not around at all, she would either be down watching the concert, or in the toilet, or getting us a drink, or some other excuses...but there was a time when she was around she came up to mi while i was guarding the gate in a pretty stern manner...
Slack queen: "Hi Sean"
Stinko: "Hi..."
Slack queen: "what r u doing?"
Stinko: "er...working?"
Slack queen: "really?"
Stinko: "er...yar"
Slack queen: "u seem so fierce, u look like you're surveying the people with ur eyes!"
Stinko: "..."( -_-")
which other part of my body should i use to survey people i ask u? colourful people with colourful ideas...
i'll talk more abt wat happened at another post...

The REAL feeling!!!
Today, at the expense of accompanying Dear, i went car testing with my father and a good fren of his. My father's good fren was looking for a compact economical car, so we were thinking of cars like Honda Jazz, Toyota Altis, Mitsubishi Colt, Suzuki Swift...the small cars, u get the idea...
but where did we end up at our first stop? the super safe cocoo-like car well-known as Volvo! Since its beginnings, Volvo has been known for its safety features, though somewhat compromising speed, as high speed was considered "unsafe"!
But Volvo has sinced evolved and recently juz came out with a speed demon Volvo S60...if there was ever 1 time i was speeding and my father wasn't complaining...it was when i was test driving this car!!! For a 2 litre car...it had the pick-up of a sports coupe!!! and with the luxury and space of a luxury sedan!!! and for a steal of 128k!!! ARGH!!! Its a steal i tell u!!!
"I like Volvo cars...i realli do!"

My graduation is in eh...abt 48 hrs time(somewhere there)...chances are, i will go...i will play the risk of going against their rules of short hair for boys, which meant hair cant touch the collar of ur shirt...too bad...if they dun let mi up...then too bad lor...but dats the least of my worries rite now...
though i'm gonna admit the ceremony is gonna be a big time sucker...not worth the attendence even...they seem to be more like doing this thingie out of necessity and accomodation for the sake of juz a "graduation ceremony"...but i'm still gonna go anyway...dun ask mi why...
i'm seriously considering if i shld rent a car for the day...cuz father said he wont be attending the ceremony, though he offered to send mi down...but then after the ceremony dunno wat will happen liao...so i guess a car might come in handy...can send Dear's parents home some more...but...but...but...dunno too...sigh...
some might say i shld drive my father's car...but then some again will know...its quite an impossible thing, cuz as mentioned earlier, its my father's car!!! Its his baby, no chance for mi to borrow...so dun think abt it!
guys, if u r reading this post, holler to mi whether u r going to the ceremony or not as well gimme some advice on the car rental matter, i noe there are already a few absent faces on grad day...though i hope to see most of some familiar faces that long have i not seen :)

Dormant Stinko AWAKES!!!!!
after being in a state of dormancy for sometime...Stinko has finally awaken to a moment of hyperactivity....Stinko got to go sleepless for 30++ hrs before going into hibernation...a lowdown on wat happened
yest was the NDP full dress rehearsal...Mother got 2 tix, so mi and younger sis went lor, it was pretty good, pretty interested with the military showcase, so "gian" to go army man!!!
anyway, after the NDP thingie, went to look for my parents for dinner, followed by meeting up with brudders Leon, JM and Gray...it was prata time for them and teh tarik time for mi b4 we commenced on a mahjong session at my place...
as my place seldom hosts mahjong sessions, i had to borrow my neighbour's mahjong table...and as my place seldom hosts mahjong sessions, i didnt have any tokens to use as money, and as my place seldom hosts mahjong sessions, there wasnt even a bloody pathetic dice to roll...so we had to use pen and paper to replace the tokens and my paperweight die to make do...totally stupid i tell u...
after a couple of hrs...our interest and concentration waned...so we decided on playing something else...Risk came into Brudder Leon's mind...so i digged out my ancient 2 yrs old Lord of the Rings Risk to play...and cuz the rules were to hard and complicated to follow we decided to throw the rule book to one side and played by our own rules...it was nice, it was mind-boggling, it was cut throat, it was friendly, bottom line is, it was fun!
"When with these guys, we can totally make something out of nothing, realli nothing!!!"

The absolutely useless post
As i dont have any serious obligations nowadays, i tend to wonder my thoughts alot lately, i know i daydream all the time but now with the free time i have...its scary how much daydreaming i do...
anyway, as i was saying, i wondered abt things like how the world has changed all these sort of thingie...like everyone is prone to terrorist attacks especially with our VPM saying "Singapore might be the target of the next terrorist attack", and then there's always the controversial NKF ex-boss TT Durai who got himself into real deep sh*t all because he wanted a gold-plated water tap...
but before i can go on with his story i gotta keep myself shut cuz now the blogosphere (the blogging world) is serious business and it can get urself into real deep sh*t as well. But then again, whats entertainment without controversy rite? Look at the masters and grandmasters of the blogosphere, there's Mr Miyagi, Mr Brown, Xia Xue, Lim Buey Tor and cheeky by nature juz to name a few...give some time to read their blogs and u'll realise its nothing but full of controversial stuff written with the "In Your Face!" attitude...but its entertaining rite???
i have no idea where is post is going, but as u have read the topic header, its an absoutely useless post!

the Bloody Neanderthal who dresses up as a doctor!
today is my second appointment to see the doc since the op...let mi first tell u wat happened during the first visit last week when he was in a bad mood...
Stinko: "Docter...er...i'm having some greenish mucus discharge from the nose and..."
Doc: "i'll look into it"
Doc then without a word shoved a bloody long stick into my nose and digs around for who noes wat...not giving a damn abt the fact that i'm expressing a face of pain...bloody hell...doc then goes ahead to pull 2 huge pieces of plastic thingie outta my nose...then goes on with the long stick digging for gold...til my nose bled like Nagara's fall...and does he warn mi abt the shit he was going to put mi through? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! but i still forgived him...
So juz this afternoon was the second visit...surprise, ourf*cked up dear doc was smiling, partly cuz i think he had some female intern docs with him as well...so i thought since he's in a good mood...i'll be spared from wat happened last week...but did he? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! He had to juz suddenly shove the bloody stick up my nose til i made sure i could feel my own blood trickle down my nose...i was officially pissed i tell u...wats a bloody doc who doesnt give a shit abt his patients and treats them like objects instead???????? after this whole thing is over...dat neanderthal is gonna hear it from his boss...
"having always need to feel the blood flow down the back of ur throat is not exactly wat u would call nice..."
Stinko: "Docter...er...i'm having some greenish mucus discharge from the nose and..."

Long Delayed Post
Its been 5 days since i last went for my operation, 4 days since the General Anesthesia's side effects still got a kick outta mi, 3 days since i slept like no one's business and finally since 2 days ago its always been tv-sleep, tv-sleep, tv-sleep. i kid u not, cuz when u have a bloody nose that not onli looks like Jackie Chan's but also bleeds all the time, i dun feel like doing anything else...
anyway...i've told myself, i'll be a man of health conscience from now on...as i never ever wanna get into an operation ever again...let mi tell u my ordeals...
cuz for my op, i had to change into their suit where even ur undies have to go, and ur butt- naked...and becuz the suit is onli made out of a thin material, i am left freezing on the operating bed...
then for my all so friendly anesthesist, he's a realli jolly fellow, and he was gonna do the drip for mi (u noe the drip as in when ppl cant makan, they put them on this drip so the patients wont starve or dehydrate to death). So there he was trying to find my veins on my left hand while humming to a tune and suddenly he tells mi "Sean, i'll have to try a second time, ur left hand's no good, can i have ur right hand pls?" WAT THE HELL!!! u poke til song liao then tell mi cannot!!! anyway...he carried on humming his tune and successfully put the drip on mi this time...
i gotta say, the general anesthesia can realli knock u out in 2 seconds, no joke! i even wanted to be cheeky and wish the docs good nite b4 being KO-ed, no chance...BUT!!! never under estimate the side effects of GA(General Anesthesia)...because the GA was so potent, i was always drifting in and out of sleep...never having a clear idea of wats going on...though it realli helped alittle at nite...
why i said it helped at nite was cuz as luck would have it...i had to be allocated a bed where both left and right side of mi were patients who switched on their engines while sleeping...one of them was so loud that the staff nurse said he could hear it from the staff counter...so try imagining mi juz beside him...HOW TO SLEEP!?!?!?!?!?!
one of the protocols b4 going for an op was fasting...no drinking or eating from 12 midnite onwards...and by the time i had come out of the op room...its was 15 hrs since i last had a sip of water...so i had to get some water...but i had too much...and the blood that was constantly flowing thru the back of my throat didnt help, stomach couldnt take it and i vomitted...blood...one whole kidney dish of it...blood, with a little concentration of water of course...
Sigh...seriously speaking now...i got a little regret going for this op...cuz of this op...i cant go train myself up, i cant work at the IOC, and i'll be wiping my nose of blood for a foreseeable future...sob sob
"the worst is not over...far from over, cuz even as i'm typing this, i'm also wiping off a tricle of blood dat juz rolled down my nose...Eeeeeeeeeeeee!"

My Father
Last weekend was Father's Day, unfortunately i was working so had to postpone Father's Day dinner to this weekend...hence, since we're on the topic, let mi tell u abit abt this unique father of mine :)
Some of u might have met my father before...some of u have ever commented that he looks like garfield, and the more i see him...the more i agree...especially when he smiles :) not to mention the size has some resemblance too, hehe! and dats why he's unique~
My father has quite a num of beliefs(as do most of us), and one of his stronger beliefs is in feng shui...and because market research shows that 70% of a person's interests and character is based on peer and family influence...i'm also a little into feng shui...but dats beside the point...as i said, cuz father believes in feng shui...he tells mi "do you know that putting blue roses in your room can improve your luck with girls?"......now tell mi...how many fathers out there would tell his son such things???? but dats why he's unique~
My father is retired, and enjoying life(i think...), but he used to be a teacher...there are many types of teachers, like those type who cast an instant spell of sleep upon starting class, those who dun give a damn abt discipline and let students run around the class, those who rule with an iron fist, and finally those who seems to stand on the line with teaching when he/she needs to yet allow bonding with the students...my father is one such teacher...and so much bonding he has done that he has female students asking him out for dinner...and because he says he's shy, he has to pull mi along! but dats why he's unique~
And cuz my father is a teacher, he can be very long-winded at times...and because i am his son...i inherit this long-winded habit as well...for example, you can ask him wat is the answer to a certain question and he can start off with "Once upon a time, in the southern province of China" thingie...but dat's why he's unique~
Now some of u noe as well dat i have a driving license, infact its already a year old, so i dun need the p-plate any longer...so dat's supposed to mean i'm in a way more experienced...rite? not so for my father...now dat the p-plates are gone...the onli time he lets mi drive the car(his baby) is from home to the market and vice versa...even when there was the p-plate when i was driving, he would go into a state of panic and be rattling with words like "STOP", "BRAKE", "SLOW DOWN", "DUN GO SO CLOSE"...things like dat...and cuz i'm a guy...my ego is crushed into tiny bits cuz no one trusts my driving skills, not even mother who would directly tell mi in my face "you cant drive the car!" sob sob....so i try to tell myself...the car is my father's, its onli rite he cares abt it and get panicky when i drive...dat's why he's unique~
Though i gotta say i'm one lucky ass to have this father, cuz blur as he is...he never fails to be by my side when i need someone most...no joke...there are too many countless times when he has been there for mi that i wont be able to repay him in this lifetime...and the same goes for my other 2 sisters too...for whether they realize it or not...father has always been suporting and helping them whenever they needed someone...and becuz of dat, he's unique~
and so with this weekend's dinner, i can onli think of 1 best present for him...to let him noe dat he doesn't have to play matchmaker anymore(he luvs doing dat...for mi...), that i now have a dear dat i love and will cherish :)
Pa, Happy belated Father's Day :)
Some of u might have met my father before...some of u have ever commented that he looks like garfield, and the more i see him...the more i agree...especially when he smiles :) not to mention the size has some resemblance too, hehe! and dats why he's unique~
My father has quite a num of beliefs(as do most of us), and one of his stronger beliefs is in feng shui...and because market research shows that 70% of a person's interests and character is based on peer and family influence...i'm also a little into feng shui...but dats beside the point...as i said, cuz father believes in feng shui...he tells mi "do you know that putting blue roses in your room can improve your luck with girls?"......now tell mi...how many fathers out there would tell his son such things???? but dats why he's unique~

I juz got myself into something realli big~
"Singapore is hosting the 117th IOC(International Olympic Committee) Session to be held from 2 to 9 July 2005. This is the first time in the history of Singapore sports that a meeting for the highest level of sports leaders is held in Singapore.
The 117th IOC Session will be a watershed event, as two important decisions will be made.
For that will be when and where the host city of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be announced and the review of the Summer Olympic Games programmes. So as the world waits for this major announcement, all eyes will be watching as Singapore takes centre stage.
We are expecting attendance of IOC Members who are high profile personalities from sports, businesses, poilitics and royalty, high-ranking officials from International Sports Federations as well as 1,500 media personnal from around the world to congregate in Singapore. Total number of participants is estimated at 3,000 to 5,000."

i so feel like marvin rite now...
My mentor/fren/fellow sch mate/old man/old flirt, Robin, used to say that the more cheerful, bubbly or hyper-energetic a person seems to be, the more depressed that person realli actually is...u noe old flirt, i think u r rite!
though i gotta say, u dun exactly need any particular reason to get depressed of anything...look at Marvin!!! the smart robot with GPP(Genuine People Personalities). He/It gets depressed about anything and everything! in a way, u gotta say he's cute in that way~ Marvin is from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (aka H2G2) movie anyway, in case u didnt know...
as i'm a veri bo liao person as some of u ppl might noe (rem the verse i kept singing over and over juz cuz of 45???), i came up with another of those verse...
In order to be a happy man...u gotta be a vegetable!
now let me tell you why
For to be a happy man, you muz have had hopes and dreams
but to have your hopes and dreams dashed, you will be disappointed
and to be disappointed, means you are not a happy man
hence the formula to be a happy man would be to be a vegetable
cuz to be a vegetable means you dun have to think
and not thinking means you dun have hopes and dreams
and to not have hopes and dreams means to never be disappointed
and to never be disappointed means being happy!
hence the equation of being a happy man means being a vegetable!
its a work of art if i muz say so myself! Hohohohohohohoho!!!! tell mi its good!!! i believe marvin will agree totally with mi!!! i'm good!!!
"Marvin, you saved us!" "I know...depressing...isn't it?"

My brudders...
u can be quite sure that when V6 meets up, there will be some unavoidable activities...
Gambling
i'll be truthful here, i'm not a gambler, and i don't like to gamble, the only reason i do so is for the social purpose of it. and i think its also cuz of my past life, as mi was supposedly a hopeless gambler...maybe i got too sick of it, though i gotta say socially its quite a good activity...like how i'll be with brudder Lim on our ups and downs with our money, brudder rick surprisingly losing big time, brudder cong surprisingly earning big time, brudder beng losing big time, and finally brudder seet and his blood bro earning big big big big time...money juz seems to go to ppl with more of dat :P lol
Night touring
Brudder Rick rented a car for this nite for a good purpose, and so off to night touring we went...Geylang is a paradise ofchina women food and there's no lack of it...we had super-sized "you-tiao" and "dao hue" for supper...its gooood~
billard/snooker/pool/watever other fancy name u have
why spend money on playing pool outside try to be efren rhyes when u aren't even in the top 10 million seeded player rankings, right? so play among own ppl lor, u can be the king man! but no...i'm not, brudder Lim is :P
its a good thing V6 is not fond of drinking, cuz i cant drink to save my own life, and i haven got deep enough pockets to drink, though i fancy i might be forced to pick it up during my NS time...peer pressure...peer pressure...
"i've learn't something new from my initials S.K. and it is "suai kai" suai as in unlucky...get it?"

wat can i do when i'm working
you know, working at OG Albert complex is more enjoyable now then before, partly cuz my supervisor has resigned, and i've more or less got to know the staff there, and there's this cute little girl by the nick of piglet that got attached to OG Albert from Hasbro as well, time passes quite easily nowadays.
i can now walk around more frequently, i no longer give much damn abt how much monopoly game boards i sell, i can talk to piglet, i can talk to the other staff, i help out the staff with their stuff...its nice actually...i even self-serviced myself to open the gundam display shelf and played around with the gundams, hur hur hur!!!
but as with life...there is a negative side of everything...
now that my supervisor has left, there's another mainlander supervisor who looks after the toys department apart from her own stationary department, if i tot my previous supervisor was demanding, this current one is worse...anything also "hen hao mai de ar!" (very good to sell!)...and cuz my previous supervisor left, OG mama(as the nick they called her) or OG's bigshot will come down more frequently...and OG mama has this air abt her that no one dares to raise their voice against her...and she already has this fierce look on her face...heard from one of the staff that there was once when she was scolding a staff...and her voice could be heard from 1 end of the toys department to the other end...dats too bloody scary lor!!!
away from work life now...gonna meet the V6 gang later, cuz brudder Rick's going botak this fri, hehehe, he even rented a car, nissan march! wonder if i'll get a chance to drive...hmm...anyway, gonna catch a movie with them, i havent caught any of the blockbuster movies recently...so anything should be fine, wats more, i'm a movie junkie, anything goes!
lastly...i'm alittle on the sad mood...mi dear's working on mon-to fri and i work from fri to sun...and after my work ends mi gonna go for the op le...sigh...how to meet her like dat? sigh...so miss her so much...

weak immune system+sensitive nose+poor air quality+standing for 8 hrs straight=fall sick
OG is not exactly a very employee oriented place...in fact...they don't treat their employees well at all! First day at the job and already bad experience...can't be bothered to go through all the details but imagine the shit i had to go thru when i reached at 11.30am but onli get to scan in at 12.04pm...all the fuss and shit and all...sigh...the security guards are also pretty stuckup straight-minded bastards..."LAW BY LAW" is their pledge! no handphone, no wallet, no pouch when entering the shopping mall, and they'll check ur pockets when u leave...wat the hell~i seriously think the onli plus point over there is dat the staff there are pretty nice to mi...then again there are always exceptions...
enough of my bitching...but cuz of this job and all the other factors as stated in my topic...i'm seriously sick...imagine u blow your nose and wat u get is not transparent mucus but yellowish ones and still having a fever despite already taken paracetamol, having ur whole body ache like ur some 80+ yrs old guy when u've onli juz passed 20...the list goes on...but i'll juz have to guai guai and stay at home recuperate before the nitemare starts again this fri at OG Albert...sigh...
"hmmm i'm starting to have paranoid thoughts about my operation...wat if i sleep talk during the operation? wat if i suddenly move and fidget during the operation...OMG!~ AHHH!!!!!"

Do i look like a kid???
Do i really???...cuz yesterday...i visited my specialist doc at SGH's ENT Centre for my nose checkup...for those of you who dun know...i happen to have a super sensitive nose...
Doc: "Hello, so how is your nose?"
SK : "hmmm...back to square 1 doc..."
Doc: "then i suggest we do a surgical operation for you..."
SK : "uh-huh..."
*moment of silence as doc pretends to look at some papers...
Doc: "...so do you have any questions?"
SK : "erm...maybe you can explain to me what will be done during the op?"
Doc: "well, we'll be straightening the crooked bridge as well as open up the nasal sinuses to improve air passage flow..."
SK: "uh-huh..."
moment of silence again...
Doc: "so do you want to go for the op?"
SK: *stunned "huh???"
moment of silence again...
SK: "can i give you an answer later? my father's in the toilet..."
Doc: "sure sure! you can wait outside for him then! come in when he's back and you've made a decision!"
SK: "huh....???" *blurly walks out to the waiting area...
*father slowly walks back to waiting area...
Father: "still waiting? how come so long?"
SK: "i'm already out..."
*SK juz brings father in while briefly explaining wat doc said
Doc: "ah, Mr Koh, please take a seat...blah blah blah"
* Doc goes on talking for another 10 mins...regarding the op and wat ever nought...
then later mi told father that our dear doc didnt tell mi all those earlier...and my father's reply was cool and immediate..."you still a kid mah!" dat was a real kick in the ass...damn...
and yes...i am going for an operation for my nose...it shouldnt be anything too serious but i guess i might be warded for a couple of days i guess...but as the doc said "as with every operation...there are risks, although this is a fairly simple op, the places i'm operating on are near to the eyes and brain so you know...." so dun be surprised if i come back blind or turned vegetable...
but meanwhile...i'll be working at OG Albert Complex Toys department on Fri's, Sat and Sun starting tomoro...and this week i'll be there on Mon too, Vesak Day rem? Do visit mi...entertain mi...

what r mobile phones used for?
Mobile phones are great inventions, they have helped made many things easier and the world essentially smaller...but as there is...a double-edged sword to everything...
Mobile phones allows an easier way to contact a person...but wat if that person decides to leave his phone somewhere where the sun dun shine or watever? he will never know someone's trying to contact him rite?
but then again, dat guy will definately go check up on his phone once in a while...no matter how while rite? rite...so saying that if he had a missed call or sms, esp those type which required you to reply...it is onli rite to return the call, rite?
but NOOOOOO!!!!!! some people have to leave their phone somewhere where the sun dun shine and leave all the missed calls and msgs as they r without giving a shit abt it...whether important or not...
so is the hp something for everybody? u tell mi???
"there shld realli be some official ettiquete for HP usage..."

11th May
met up with V6 to catch Kingdown of Heaven...it was my second time watching though...but idea was to get a better pic of the whole story...action show it might seem...but truth is...there was alot of dialogue...there had to...there was too much complexity to the story...i felt dat director Ridley Scott did a good job...
after the movie, it was dinner with the rest of the gang at cartel...with this grp of ppl...interesting things r bound to happen...as u noe dat cartel waiters do not take your meal orders, u have to write ur orders on a list given and go to the counter to pay...rite? it wasnt the case for Miss Thailand...first of all she didnt know the orders had to be written by ourselves...secondly of all...she had to take the piece of paper and in her most rich tai tai manner wave to the waiter shouting "waiter! waiter!"...imagine how "ma lu" it was...but dats Miss Thailand for u

met up with V6 to catch Kingdown of Heaven...it was my second time watching though...but idea was to get a better pic of the whole story...action show it might seem...but truth is...there was alot of dialogue...there had to...there was too much complexity to the story...i felt dat director Ridley Scott did a good job...
after the movie, it was dinner with the rest of the gang at cartel...with this grp of ppl...interesting things r bound to happen...as u noe dat cartel waiters do not take your meal orders, u have to write ur orders on a list given and go to the counter to pay...rite? it wasnt the case for Miss Thailand...first of all she didnt know the orders had to be written by ourselves...secondly of all...she had to take the piece of paper and in her most rich tai tai manner wave to the waiter shouting "waiter! waiter!"...imagine how "ma lu" it was...but dats Miss Thailand for u

not good enough for anybody
it juz seems dat way nowadays...i'm never good enough for anybody...
imagine a shop that can put up signs of needing sales assistants and reject ur job application...i'm dat bad
imagine you're already being disapproved of even when you've not met before...i'm dat bad...
imagine a life where u cant exactly see a future except a bleak one? i'm dat bad...
so i'm a complain king...sue mi...dun forget...i got more female hormones than the average male...i'm a sissy...can?
"seems like there's no way to defying Murphy's Law..."

Defying Murphy's Law
Murphy's Law states that "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong"...i think that law is applying to mi right now...as many things aren't going right...which is a sad thing...i've successfully graduated from NYP, so i should be happy, but i'm not...
Maybe its also due to something called the "Irritable Male Syndrome(IMS)"...i'm not cooking up this bull, its seriously a condition recognized by doctors...read it somewhere on the net...where a guy can be suddenly veri temperamental and unreasonable, and the funny thing is he will be conscious of how bad tempered and how unreasonable he is, yet he'll still do it anyway...sounds familiar? does to mi...
but other then IMS...i seriously think Murphy's Law is set to use mi as an example...can so many things go wrong at the same time? seriously got to wonder, ponder, think and sleep over it...
"i'm saddened, i'm downed and very soon, i'll be out..."

creating Merry out of Misery 2
wont go into details on bagpipes...it'll bore u...i'll post a pic of mi and my bandmates maybe, with all of us in scottish kilts(its not skirts!!!).
At international sporting events such as the rugby sevens...u'll get a wide variety of ppl coming...examples include:
1. The "i'm sexy and i know it" ang mo chic
these ang mo gals would be moving around more than watching the event itself, and some of them would wear so low cut to show half ball and their push-up bra...and even better...to walk every step with a "boeing boeing!" up down motion, causing their milk jugs to jiggle along with their bodies...hence the nick "boeing boeing!"
2. The "i'm the customer and i'm always rite!" egotistical bastard
can either be ang mo or asian...various reasons for acting like mistreated kids...such as not being able to bring in filled-up water bottles(its for good safetly reasons...u dun wanna kana wacked in the head from a filled-up bottle)...or cuz of their lack of understanding that their tix are only for certain areas and not the grandstand area...and not being allowed to enter cuz their tix is with their frens inside and not with them(real idiots...)
3. The "Yaya Buaya" metrosexuals...
refers to those guys who luv make-up...but happen to have those type of "wack me up" kinda face...their attitude doesnt help their image either...give u some examples
example 1. this chinese guy has one of this ankles in a bandage...but has arguebly go up and down the stairs more times than anyone(apart from the ang mo chic)...for wat? to show that he can talk so loud for everyone to hear and pick up hot chics? he even has his sunglasses clipped above his head in typical style of metrosexuals...onli it looks too sissy...
example 2, this time an ang mo(also with the sunglasses up his head...wuss)
wuss walks in without any tix or passes
stinko: "sorri sir, u cant enter without a ticket or a pass"
wuss: "my tix is with my friend up there..."
stinko: "then u'll have to wait for your friend to pass u your tix"
wuss: "cant i tell u wear he sits and go in?"
stinko: "nope..."
wuss: "uh-huh"
2 seconds silence...
wuss: "ur pretty short for a guard eh?"
stinko: *&*)%^#%^*(&)E&&%* "i'm an usher, not a guard, get that straight, now could u pls wait outside and not obstruct the entrance?"
wuss: "..." gives dat kind of "wat can u do to mi" look
stinko: "the security and police can help u on your way out if u want..."
wuss then walks away
u gotta think dat some of these guys have pea-sized brains...with an elephant ass's ego...
4. The "i'm here to enjoy the game" happy person
will gladly here to the rules and enjoy the game, ushers fav customers! with many of them greeting u as well "Cheers Mate!"
5. The "halloween party time!!!!" kind of person
nothing harmful, a little overjoyful maybe...but adds color to the event...there are ppl dressed as south african tribal ppl, scottish kilts ppl, air stewardesses(huh?), hawaiin bikini babes...and prepare urself...a tramp! or a transexual, transvestite, drag queen...watever u call it...imagine someone with ample milk jugs, a perfect figure and long hair....and an Adam's apple....WTF!!!!!
6. The "i'm drunk and will do anything" kind of guy
usually an ang mo...takes more than he can handle and there goes...there were cases of drunks throwing stuff, hitting a gal on the head and end up detained by police, drunks falling down to the field(yes...the field) and end up being carried away by paramedics, drunks who vomit all over themselves and end up being carried away by paramedics, drunks who see each other not happy fight til kana detained by police...the list goes on...
enough variety of ppl for mi and my colleagues to bitch abt...
"its a colorful world...realli colorful..."

creating Merry out of Misery
"ku zhong zhuo le" as the chinese ppl say...and dats wat i did during sat and sun...no, i didnt slack as usual...i was working...as an usher at the National Stadium for the Singapore Rugby Sevens...its too bloody tiring...imagine reporting for work early in the wee hours of 7am for the first day, onli to knock off at 10pm...with onli 1 meal dat day to boot...luckily day 2 was slightly better...10am report for work...still ending at 10 though...cuz of all the standing...my right ankle is in constant pulsating pain...*groans...
back to topic...as i was saying, creating merry while working in misery was the least we could do at help pass the time faster...so wat did we do? nothing much...try to get into the rugby enthu mood...feasting on eye candy...cursing at arrogant and egotistical bastards/bitches...and...reliving one of my fav pastimes! I GOT TO PLAY THE BAGPIPE!!!(scenes of reminiscene comes in...) scotland is playing in the rugby sevens, so wats scotland without their bagpipes, rite????
its been so long since i last touched a bagpipe...and i'm soooo damn rusty...luckily it was a easy pipe...juz to enlighten u alittle...
the main difficulty of different bagpipes lie in the reed itself, there are other issues such as greasing the bagpipe and such but wont go into details. the main idea is the harder ur reed, the harder u have to blow juz to produce a sound.
Added levels of difficulty are the drones which u can add in the stock and tenors(the 3 long sticks), by adding a drone, u get some sort of a constant bass all the time apart from the pipe sound that u hear, and becuz the drones let out more air, u have to blow even harder juz to keep up...
also, ur technic in maintaining the amount of air in the bagpipe and blowing in at the same time matters, blow too much and u'll be out of breath, blow too little and u'll hear not a bagpipe but a camel crying...u have to balance between blowing air in and using the air in the bag while catching a breath in perfect momentum so u could go on playing without the music ending at all...dats the beauty of bagpipes!
dat guy whom i borrowed the bagpipe from had a damn easy reed, had 3 drones but shut 2 of them off, leaving only 1 open...making the pipe damn easy to blow...if i had this pipe during my playing days...i could have played for easily 20 mins no prob...now 5 mins is a prob...sigh...its all abt stamina and abdominal strength...
that was on the first day...was hoping i could see the guy again on the second day, no luck, the onli ones playing were 2 boys no older than mi i bet. then i saw her...MY BAGPIPE INSTRUCTOR!!! she was the one who taught mi all dat i noe(ashamed to say i 4got alot of it)...apparently, she coached the 2 boys as well...they were good...they were way better than i ever was(so i was lousy, can?)...got my instructor's hp num...i promise myself i'm gonna pick up the bagpipe again...
might talk more abt bagpipes in next post :)

Too few highs and too many lows...
In fact...there's onli 1 high...and dat's i found another guy selling the LOTR extended version DVD too!!! cheaper of 5 bucks from my very first bid some more...talking abt a blessing in disguise...Hur hur hur!!!
Now for bads...i think its gonna be pretty long...i'll tell myself to avoid doing concerts of bollywood stars...ever again! i was thinking how bored i would get for this time's concert...i was so damn wrong...
List of things that should happen but did not(or vice-versa)
----------------------------------------------------------------
The people who have come for a concert will usually be blur blur mong mong ca ca...so they would ask us ushers for help, where we would gladly oblige (actually we're paid to do so...dats diplomacy for you)
This crowd would also be mong mong ca ca, but they ignore us ushers and "gey kiang" (hokkien for act smart) try find their own places... so...its the blind leading the blind...causing quite abit of confusion and stuff...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Concerts with usually start off with the star of the concert singing a fast number, to try up the tempo and with instrument solo performances held somewhere inbetween the show(give the star time to change costume...)
This concert starts off with easily 15-20 mins of instrument solo b4 someone actually speaks...and its...not the star...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Concerts with usually start off with the star of the concert singing a fast number, to try up the tempo and with the guest singer/s coming on later at some point in time for the star to rest and change to another outfit
After the super long instrument solo...a girl comes out...no...she's a guest singer...not the main star...still...she starts off the concert...
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is hardly anytime for any part of a concert to have a 30 min segment on talking...juz talking...dats not a concert...dats a stand-up comedy!
Somewhere in the middle of this concert a guy comes out and thinks he's Bollywood's Chris Rock...ok...so he's pretty good...judging frm the audiences' laughter...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Its common for a concert to have 1 or even sometimes 2 guest singers...and they usually perform together, or in other cases, one after the other...
For this concert...the first guest singer starts off,followed by the star, then another guest singer, followed by the stand-up comedy, then again ANOTHER guest singer sings...b4 the star decides to come back up on stage again
----------------------------------------------------------------
Usually the star of the concert would ask the audience to cooperate and sit down, for everyone's good :) how considerate
This star has to say "its ok, let them dance!", while then the ushers will have a hell of a hard time controlling the crowd while being scolded by the other audience at the same time...hard life...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Usually concerts' security guards are quite beefy guys(think bouncers) to manage crowd control
This concert has either old men who look like 50+ or kids who look like 16+ as security guards...WTF!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Other concerts' audience are usually pretty active in sneaking to the front occasionally for a quick camera shot or 2, but with a warning...they'll go back to their seats, hence...the security guards have it quite relaxed most of the times...
This audience dun bring cameras with them, but they still run to the front to dance infront of the star(rem wat the star said?)...and its up to us ushers to control the crowd...where the hell r the security guards? stoning on the upper levels...bloody hell...to think they get a higher pay...thosebastards slackers...
------------------------------end-------------------------------
it realli got quite bad on a few occassions where a whole crowd would rush down...theres even this skinny punk who kept dancing his way down in a very obscene manner(think wacko jacko)...my fellow usher/friend ZC would be patiently telling him to go back up to his seat...datbastard punk is not respecting ZC man! so being the impulsive (might i add righteous and protective? Hur hur hur...) me...i briskly walked over and pulled the bastard punk to one side with my fiercest face i could make shouting into his face "U WANT MI TO GET SECURITY HERE???" dat bastard punk than gives mi the "come wack me up" kind of face...b4 i could do anything...2 fellow ushers pull mi back b4 ZC signals the bastard punk to get back to his seat...luckily the bastard punk is smart enough to do so...dun misunderstand that i was gonna punch him or something...i wont be that foolish...realli! my fellow ushers tot otherwise...hehe! i'm a good actor!
think this post is long enough...too long infact, sorry for wasting ur time :)
OH OH! another high! i did get slightly over 30 bucks this time round...this concert's way tooooooo long...gotta get compensated for dat...
"i still dunno wat i want in life, but i already have quite a list of wat i dun want in life!!!!!"
Stinko...working the opposite way...
Now for bads...i think its gonna be pretty long...i'll tell myself to avoid doing concerts of bollywood stars...ever again! i was thinking how bored i would get for this time's concert...i was so damn wrong...
List of things that should happen but did not(or vice-versa)
----------------------------------------------------------------
The people who have come for a concert will usually be blur blur mong mong ca ca...so they would ask us ushers for help, where we would gladly oblige (actually we're paid to do so...dats diplomacy for you)
This crowd would also be mong mong ca ca, but they ignore us ushers and "gey kiang" (hokkien for act smart) try find their own places... so...its the blind leading the blind...causing quite abit of confusion and stuff...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Concerts with usually start off with the star of the concert singing a fast number, to try up the tempo and with instrument solo performances held somewhere inbetween the show(give the star time to change costume...)
This concert starts off with easily 15-20 mins of instrument solo b4 someone actually speaks...and its...not the star...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Concerts with usually start off with the star of the concert singing a fast number, to try up the tempo and with the guest singer/s coming on later at some point in time for the star to rest and change to another outfit
After the super long instrument solo...a girl comes out...no...she's a guest singer...not the main star...still...she starts off the concert...
----------------------------------------------------------------
There is hardly anytime for any part of a concert to have a 30 min segment on talking...juz talking...dats not a concert...dats a stand-up comedy!
Somewhere in the middle of this concert a guy comes out and thinks he's Bollywood's Chris Rock...ok...so he's pretty good...judging frm the audiences' laughter...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Its common for a concert to have 1 or even sometimes 2 guest singers...and they usually perform together, or in other cases, one after the other...
For this concert...the first guest singer starts off,followed by the star, then another guest singer, followed by the stand-up comedy, then again ANOTHER guest singer sings...b4 the star decides to come back up on stage again
----------------------------------------------------------------
Usually the star of the concert would ask the audience to cooperate and sit down, for everyone's good :) how considerate
This star has to say "its ok, let them dance!", while then the ushers will have a hell of a hard time controlling the crowd while being scolded by the other audience at the same time...hard life...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Usually concerts' security guards are quite beefy guys(think bouncers) to manage crowd control
This concert has either old men who look like 50+ or kids who look like 16+ as security guards...WTF!!!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Other concerts' audience are usually pretty active in sneaking to the front occasionally for a quick camera shot or 2, but with a warning...they'll go back to their seats, hence...the security guards have it quite relaxed most of the times...
This audience dun bring cameras with them, but they still run to the front to dance infront of the star(rem wat the star said?)...and its up to us ushers to control the crowd...where the hell r the security guards? stoning on the upper levels...bloody hell...to think they get a higher pay...those
------------------------------end-------------------------------

i'm ashamed to admit, but i've been surfing the net aimlessly for most of the time during ofice hours these days, the other times, i would either be in the toilet, printing or binding some training materials, or catching a nap in another room out of my OIC's view...b4 u gimme dat "i despise u" kinda look, gotta say at least i complete the tasks she gives mi ok!
hence, i came across quite a few blogs, pretty good ones...top of the list is still www.limbueytor.com though, maybe cuz he's a guy...i can relate to him better...instead of always seeing wat singapore blogger www.xiaxue.blogspot.com is always bitching about...some of the links from www.limbueytor.com is pretty good too, such as tripleperiod and Little-Miss-Drinkalot (from tripleperiod's blog link)...do take a look if u really have nothing to do...i will never be as good as these guys...but i hope i'm entertaining who ever is reading this blog of mine(maybe no one...hmmm...)

Early in the morning...purposely went to canteen upstairs to have a look at wat they sell in the morning...realli disappointing...though the coffee was really strong and fresh...perked mi up alittle...
OIC juz talked to mi for 30 mins straight...with her mouth moving non-stop all dat time...she juz put mi in a deeper dilemma than i already am...i was contemplating whether i shld come back to work for her after my attachment...and she juz scared mi further with that 30 mins talk...sigh...as my fellow NCS colleage salted lady said "ur liang xin bu an...mind want to help her...but heart dunwan..."~ its also cuz of my OIC's boss...lets juz call her lady boss(YES! again a woman...), she's even more particular than my OIC...and she's way more ruthless than my OIC...and she doesnt care abt the welfare of her subordinates...compared to her...my OIC seems an angel...its dat bad...sigh...wat to do...wat to do...wat to do...
chances are i wont be coming back le bah...mi poly guys wanna have an overseas trip...and mi wanna take care of mi father at home too(I have to remind myself dat he's older than he looks...), and i wan some time for myself as well...
and in the distant future...i've set myself some targets...
1. never work for a female boss, they realli r more difficult ppl...and unknowingly deflates ur ego all the way down
2. try to be my own boss, at the end of the day...i hate being ordered around...
3. I'll try as hard not to work in an IT company at all, not even if its non-IT related work...ppl here have no life! how to pick up chicks like dat??? (dats a joke)
4. try not to have a 9-5 job sitting in a non-window office...it realli sux...
5. and finally...earn as much filthy money as possible (its filthy...but at least my family need not suffer!)
finished my crapping, thanx for ur time reading...now get back to work!!!

Thank Heavens dat yest was good fri...ended a bad week for mi...but i'm still feeling a little down...afew contributing factors...esp this morn...
wat happen this morn was dat mi father still wasn't feeling well, had to go see another doc...in Bishan...so early in the morn mother woke mi up to drive them. My father, even in his weakened state and lost voice...still managed to order mi around like i juz passed driving yesterday(it happens everytime i drive...), it gets kind of depressing actually...some of my frens are driving around on their own the same month they passed their driving...its either they have their own cars or using their dads' cars...for mi...dat ain't the case...the car's my father's baby...i cant drive the car without him around...when i drive, i have to listen to him saying all the time "brake!!!", "slow down!!!", "dont overtake!!!"...and repeating road instructions 3 to 4 times in the space of a minute...i understand he cares for mi and stuff but...i wonder if any of u has sat in my father's car b4...
its wasted he's not a racer...he luvs to drive on the outermost right lane, even when he has to filter out to an exit on the left 300m away...insists on sticking to the right lane at 80km/h juz cuz there's a speed camera, pissing other cars behind, forcing them to overtake...onli to go 100km/h after passing the camera...again pissing the cars behind not being able to overtake...he luvs to abuse the brake by going so fast and then suddenly stopping juz inches away from the car...likes cursing other drivers for driving the same way he does...its almost like he has a temptation to bang down every car on the road...i may be almost 40 yrs short of my father's driving exp...but i daresay i'm a way safer driver...
juz when i tot my father is the onli one who doesnt trust mi...my mother goes on and say..."sure he can drive there anot??" if aint sure y even bother calling mi to drive u guys? if aint sure y even let mi take up driving? if aint sure y even talk to mi abt cars and stuff??? sigh...
there are other stuff to...but wont write it down due to time constraint...juz damn sad abt this matter...

Ah...bad day...had to start the day off with my OIC bombing mi for who knows what...its not exactly my shit i created she was bombing mi abt...but i still get the shit from her...damn...beginning to think she's feminist...all the hardest tasks seem to always come to mi...WTF??? oh nvm...another 1 more month and i'am outta here...some more today is fri...can look forward to the weekends...
worker: "boss, where does this pile of shit go to?"
Boss: "the boy sitting over there,"
worker: "wat abt this other pile of crap?"
Boss: "to the same boy sitting over there"
worker: "and this pile of faeces?"
Boss: "to the same boy of course!"
the above dialogue is fictional...though similar to my position...if not exaggerated, hehehe!!!
oh yeah...something suddenly came to mi...rem mi mentioned yest abt having a balance to everything? maybe i shld revise and re-evaluate a little, you see...there is a balance to everything...a duality, 1 dat complements the other, not equal...left and right complement each other, they are not on the same side, rite? Ying and Yang compliment each other, not having the same color scheme...and...heaven and hell are on opposite ends of earth! where's the equality? hence, know the diff between duality and equality...
in fact...it also applies to humans! Men and Women compliment each other by having diff physical forms with diff mentalities...dats why they attract each other, opposites attract! hence, there is no equality in Men and Women, only duality and complimentary...admit it, there will be stuff dat gals will be better at than guys and vice versa! Put dat into ur heads, feminists and sexists out there!
"there are many great ppl in history who are homosexuals, Michelangelo...Da Vinci...Alexandar the Great...Sir Elton John...Sean Koh the Philosopher...OOPS!!!"

anyway, came across this blog called www.limbueytor.com, a self-proclaimed ah beng but has a good command of language...his blogs are entertaining enough to read...serious...saying dat...of course i'll try to make mine more interesting for whoever's reading these too!
i realised dat as a philosopher...i've not talked much philosophy at all!!! haha!!! let mi start u off...
i've been reading "Angels and Demons" & "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown recently...pretty good books...anyway...rem quite sometime back i was preaching abt there being an equality and balance to everything? it so happens that past sects, religious or non-religious...too stood by these principles...there is a duality to everything...left and right, ying and yang, black and white(these 2 are not colors technically if u didnt know), heaven and hell...even matter and antimatter(bet u dunno wats dat!)...whoah!
"It has long been known that the winners of wars and times write the history...so with that...how true is history itself? History is only as accurate as humans write it..."
Read it from somewhere...Angels and Demons i think
reason i say this is cuz she always seems to call mi all the time...pisses mi off sometimes...esp when she calls mi a few times in succession...maybe i'll leave slightly early today...i dunno...see bah...

3.we all ended up tanned(even if slightly...)
4.Sim Lim tried to be monkey boy with the coconut tree...ended up with spetacular fall and an abrasion wound to this arm...
5.Cong also tried a monkey(or in his case, gorilla!) stance, smart enough not to go too high...
6.Cong ended up a fatherly figure for a chick fallen off its nest(from the same coconut tree...) frightened chick ends up shitting on his fatherly figure's hand(WAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!)
7.Yuan Da and Zhixuan had a sand burial...Yuan Da twice!
8.PastaMania still serves good pasta!
i think dat was abt it...hmmm...hope i didnt mis anything out...as for Sun...spent 4 hrs at the IT Fair...and mi had no chance of sitting down for a rest for dat 4 hrs...hey...not that i liked dat place a lot dats y i stayed 4 hrs...it was cuz of the crowd...moving juz a hundred meters took 10 mins instead of the usual 1 min...god...Rick, Crys and Cong were there too...acc Cong to buy his wireless router...bought myself a new monitor, dvd-writer and a game, battle for middle earth...nice game...need to be good at multi-tasking to play dat game though...

well ppl...hope i didnt take up too much of ur time with this blog of mine...but mi gonna end it off with an excerpt from the novel, Angels and Demons by Dan Brown...cya ppl!
"Whether or not you belive in God, you must belive this. When we as a species abandon our trust in the power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faith...all faiths...are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable...With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves, and to a higer truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. If the outside world see this church as i do...looking beyond the ritual of these walls...they would see a modern miracle...a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control"

hmmm...its the weekend...i'm supposed to be happy...but i'm not...in fact i'm feeling pretty down rite now...ever heard of a philosopher going into poems?
the day it happened
was the day my heart felt light again in years
but slowly and agonisingly
i realised fate plays a cruel game
as reality set in, i finally realised...
i'm not yours to begin with...
the times i've spent
the effort i've given
the worries i have for u
first seems so worth it...
until reality kicks in
and everything goes for naught...
i finally realised...
i'm a nobody...
where do i stand?
when will this end?
will i call u my own?
or will i wither again?
must i play the waiting game?
and stay as the unseen?
til whatever comes to answer my pleas?
i'll still pray for you
and i'll still be there for you
but at the end the day
who am I to you?
i'll spend all my time just to care for you
but alas the decision lies with you...
juz hope to at least noe wats going on and where it'll go...sorri i if i sounded to abstract or illogical...juz wanna at least see wats the future...dun feel pressurized or anything...
Anyway!!!! back to sat...believe i'm gonna rot myself at home b4 going for a bbq in pasir ris...one of my classmate's bday bbq :)
off to sleep le...dun expect to wake up b4 10am...time to enjoy my sleep :)
the beauty of the human life is that because its so short everything seems beautiful and precious

do u rem wat it felt like as a kid when u were so anticipating for something to happen, such as your most precious birthday present? or a trip to the zoo? then suddenly at the 11th hour something happens...and whatever you were looking forward to suddenly dissappears...do u rem the feeling? yeah, dats how i'm feeling now...
long story and cant be bothered to go into details...y shld i? in the first place, things like this shldn't have happened...catch no ball? let mi explain...
In the first place, no one told you to be a smart alec and start counting the eggs in the basket before they hatched...you onli have urself to blame for being an idiot...dats y u have people who are pessimists! they are realistic, logical thinking people!!!
Secondly, while u r here still in ur own lala land, the real world is constantly and mercilessly piling up work for u to suffer with, wake up as*h*le!!! or else ur gonna drown urself in a pile of real world deep shit!
Thirdly, bachelors are bachelors for a reason, they are smart people! the real world is already so full of shit, u wanna go make things worse by adding agony to suffering? wat a recipe!!!
anyway, i was referring to myself :) anyone reading this dun go thinking "is it mi?" dat kind of stuff :) dun worry, its not u! LOLz
once again i think i've further proved to myself that i cant make decisions at all, big ones, small ones, emotional ones, financial ones, academic ones...all in all, life decisions...i'll somehow always come to regret it sooner or later...
like to end it off for all couples out there, Happy Valentine's Day! while u guys r enjoying each other's company, i'll be recuperating some much needed rest for the already tiring week ahead...til then, bye bye ppl!
whenever in doubt...seek the meditation way...ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzz

the eve of chinese new yr eve...and i'm sick...how perfect...wat more can i ask for??? mi nose has been running for 2 days, esp today...and i've lost my appetite, though i suspect the appetite prob has something to do with the milo-coffee mixed drink i made at around 4 plus...too much of everything...coffee granules, milo powder and creamer powder...serves mi rite...rite? wat to do? mi eyes were almost bulging out from staring at the screen for more than 2 hrs of hardcore work...i daresay my eyes didnt leave the screen for dat 2 hrs++
and now becuz of the milo-coffee combo...mi havent had anything for dinner...in a way it lets mi eat less...so i guess its not too bad...though i'm sick...muz be careful not too pass the germs to u :)
today...mi LO(liaison officer) came...sigh...when he came to know abt the matter abt mi requesting for a change...he said should he have known earlier...he would not have allowed the change...sigh...first of all...if i were to stay on doing the debugging shit...not onli will i be doing OT everyday for no xtra pay...the company will also suffer by not having system delivered on time! WE ARE ON A DAMN TIGHT SCHEDULE DUDE!!!
Now dat i'm into preparing the training material thingie...mi so much happier...rather than being depressed everytime i step into the office...at least with time...i can complete the training materials...but the programming stuff...gimme 3 months and i doubt i'll be able to produce the goods...sigh...if onli my LO knew what degree of difficulty they threw to mi...the debuggin problem which they asked mi to solve? its rite now in process of debugging from the NCS ppl in Su Zhou...yes China!!! sigh...
since its over...suan le...concentrate on my job now bah...mi gonna be bringing the training materials documentation home to do during the CNY period...gonna take the 2 days to try and finish up the job...relieve a little of the immense pressure she's been going through...boss...mi willing to OT with u everyday!!! (as long as its not coding...)
this post is pretty long huh...i'll end off here then...lastly...HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
"as long as i know my feelings are reciprocated...u know dat i'll always be there"

yesterday was the 2nd of feb...not gonna forget this day...hehe...someone somewhere will noe why :)
sad to say...dats the onli realli happy thing dats made mi smile these few days...sigh...my job at NCS is realli gonna kill mi...i'm a business student maintaining and debugging a website using struts and weblogic as the server...er...anyone heard of all these names b4? neither have i...so imagine mi being lost and helpless for the past 4 days...have to OT for the past 3 nites some more...sigh...
luckily mi OIC is a damn nice person...today took the opportunity to explain to her the situation...and she gladly obliged my request...phew...mi gonna hand over the stuff to another nyp gal, xiaotian(IT track) either tomoro or mon...and mi can then focus on wat i'm better at...english! or rather business stuff...lol...
my OIC has juz saved mi from the verge of breaking down...saved my life man...u'll be surprised how demoralising it is to spend hrs in front of the com to debug a program and end up having everything suddenly go down the drain...
i swear dat i'll give my OIC a big fat nice treat at the end of my attachment there :) hope tomoro's a better day bah :)
"some things you'll juz never ever forget, right? *winkz*"
