Ipod Delivered!

Tada!!! Old Generation nano though. 4GB! HEHEHE. $118! It's a steal!

Was making the purchase while chatting with buddy ben last midnight. :P

It's still in the progress of charging, but i wanna sleep already. Guess I will unplug it as long as the meter bar reaches full charge. Not sure if i can protect the player as much as I would like to, nevertheless I have bought the ipod nano sock from the nearby pasar malam at $2.90. LOL. Don't really like the idea of getting the leather or plastic kinda cover which i noticed it will help to absorb dust in the long run. So a normal pouch/sock should be sufficient for me. Pretty cheap a set, so i guess i won't really feel a pinch even if i dropp it one day. Which i hope this day do not come at all. LOL

Coffee Talk Hawker Wok @ Office!

This afternoon, office had this coffee talk session with some local big shots, but the moment i stepped into the canteen, the environment is exactly like a lecture hall. I knew it... definitely a goner for me. After enduring for like 30mins talk, feeling rather sleepy already, moreover its raining so heavily outside which made the temperature lower. lol. Seized the chance when the speakers interchange, quickly my colleagues and myself sneak out from our seats and crept towards the exit. Butttt before we left, picked up some samosa and wings, and off we headed back to our office. LOL

Checked out about my trip to Manila this late afternoon, very likely I am being chosen to travel at the longer period which starts at 20 Jan 2008. Cant recall if its a 8 or 9 days trip. Initially, I was thinking of picking the 6 days trip which will start on 13 Jan.

Has been almost a month after starting working, apparently today should be the payday cos i checked my epayslip. But seems that the actual sum will only be deposit tomorrow i think.

Next Friday I will be the presenter of our bi-weekly presentation, started doing up some slides today, still have a week to go, slowly progress and try to add on some stuff as day goes by.

So what will happened to you/surroundings if you just passed on today/tonight? What the impact to the people around you?

Tomorrow is the Day!

My First Pay Day tomorrow!

WEeeeeeee.....

Tonight news will show a lot of interviews with regards to the dragon boat incidents. =(

I'm Back!

Been really busy and also lazy to blog these days. Most of the time I'm actually too tired to turn on my lappie to do stuff.

Recently, the dragon boat news has been circulating around, just noticed buddy ben's blog that one of them is his friend. Manz! Really quite sad to overhear it from his post. Dude! Cheer up okayz!

SIM actually sent out a post to our student portal that one of the deceased is from our school dragon boat team. =(

Went for my cousin birthday yesterday, really regretted taking so much food and end up suffering with a bloated tummy. :P

Today's work was quite slow and yet busy, had meeting+training at the same time for Unix. Come to realize that most of the things that I've learn were forgotten, and there are alot of things which are needed to follow up. Just right before knock off today, got hold of the 2 period for our Philippines trip. It's at January period, gotta discuss with my fellow colleague before choosing which slot to take. Most likely I will be taking the 6 days instead of the 8 days trip.

Tmr is Friday!

Meeting ended on time today, manage to reach home before 7pm. But very sad to know that one of my colleague need to go over to client site till probably late night or past midnight. So most likely I won't see him in the morning tomorrow.

So fast... Today didn't really learn much things on my own, busily testing out some assignments and had a meeting in the noon. Tomorrow should be quite busy as well, will be having another bi-weekly meeting with another team manager, I was asked to sit in. Well, I wouldn't mind going to see how the organization meeting is all about, or rather I should say I have no choice and not forgetting my manager is on leave, I am just like a taggy baby who tag along with others. After going through quite a bit of stuff for the past 2 weeks, can really feel that the things that I'm doing is really worth quite a bit for my future interviews. It's really organizational standards.

I'm so tired now, although I remembered to bring my medicine back (thanks to nat), but I'm still considering if I should take them. Suddenly, my left nostril is blocked again.... Maybe I will just take the flu tablet to help me get to bed early. =P

Colleague
Ling is feeling slightly feverish after work, told her to get the active fast tablets, hope she will be fine by tomorrow, we gonna have meeting too. Need more people around to boost our morale. Hope Myo is able to join us for meeting too and I believe he can! Our office is like becoming a refugee camp with lot of virus and diseases flying around! Can really hear someone either coughing or sneezing anytime of the day! :S

It's Wednesday!

I was so shocked when i login into my Bloglines just now, only now then I realized that Siwei actually adore fishy so much. For me, I guess he is the first one who is so crazy about idol, and on top of that, he is a Guy! LOL. Erm.. I do have a friend who is quite crazy about SHE last time, but not to his extend. Thumbs up! But sad to say, Siwei didn't invite me to go to fish's concert at all. What a friend indeed!

Time seems to pass so quickly whenever I stepped into the office, after setting up my lappie and settling down for awhile, went for breakfast. Take a look at my watch, it's already 9 o'clock. Quickly, we rushed down to the clinic at level 2 and making sure I'm able to see the doctor this time. =P The consultation was a fast one as we all know how their charges are like, similar to lawyer. Collected the medicine and went back to office.

I can still remember when I was working as a part-timer in an office last time, time passed so slow when I was just dealing with normal data entry and simple filings, the time is really crawling I would to say. But now I can really differentiate what I was really doing back then compared to now, it was crap or rather nothing meaningful, that's why you will find that time isn't moving at all. To be honest, I really don't have the feeling of not going to office, probably you would say this is just the starting stage of a newbie like me, might be wondering how long i can last right? We shall see! Humph!

Buttt... today my nose is like a running tap, can't seem to close it. The paper basket is full of TISSUE PAPERS! lol

What a Day!

Seems like I'm not updating my post on a everyday basis these days. Maybe my friends were right! I will get tired of blogging. Let's hope I can prove them wrong okie. I'm also hoping I don't abandon this blog.

Anyway, by looking at the title, I believe you must be thinking something bad has happened to me. HEE.

I've decided to wear more casually to work starting today, so hereby i wore a tee and jeans to work today. Upon reaching office, i went to request for my pedestal and a laptop lock. I was so excited after receiving them. But apparently I have some problem using them. First, one of the pedestal draw was slightly faulty, spent some time fixing it, finally it can close properly, so tried to test out the key attached, wrong key! #1 Next, as it's my first time using the lappie lock, so i consulted my colleague for help, she fixed the chain thingie for me and again I'm testing out the key for the lock. Doesn't work! But she manage to make it work after her hand of midas touches it. Sounds so strange ya, but now it's really seasoned! What an early start of the day for me. =S

Was feeling sick today, down with a flu and sore throat. So thinking of going to our company clinic downstairs to collect some medication. After reaching there at around 11.34am, realized that their session close at 11.30am. Damn! #2

Luckily everything went quite normal until my meeting after lunch. It started pouring when it reaches 3pm, which was the time i need to walk over to a pretty far place for meeting. Got myself wet! #3 Inside my mind was, this meeting would be a hard one cos it seems like the god was stopping me to go there. LOL. Tend to think of silly things when bad things befalls on you. Fortunately, the people there were great, around my age range. Funniest thing was my HP friend was there. =D

After walking back to my company, quickly put down my stuff and headed to the clinic, reached there around 5pm. I heard some printing noises coming out from the door but it still Locked! Arghh!!! I think the doctor don't like me. But seems like it more to my own fault for not being early. #4 Shall visit again tomorrow if I'm still unwell. Pray hard!

Finally....

My Citibank cards has arrived..... Just went down to collect the cards at AMK. Went to collect some medication from the clinic as well, most importantly is my eye drop. Very crucial to me especially when I'm in air conditioned places, i.e. Office, shopping malls and even in the train.

1) PremierMiles
2) Dividend
3) SMRT

Guess they will be activated in another 2 days, still waiting for the verification process to be completed.

The next 2 cards would be Singtel UOB(Highest priority, as I'm gonna jumpship to singnet, hence this card is of some use to me) and the POSB everyday.

Currently, the weather now is terrible, Thunder and Lightning accompanied by a heavy rain. Whatever it is, it's still better having a hot and humid day, right?

New bomb dropped

Somehow after lunch today, the team lead came over and ask me if I have problem traveling, without much hesitation, I replied that it's fine for me. Immediately, I asked where will I be relocating? The country that came out from his mouth was PHILIPPINES~!!! *faint* As everyone is aware of the situation there. Though the period would be around jan-feb 2008. Not forgetting my ICT is 13 Feb. =P Cannot confirm much things yet as my manager have not really approved on anything. But I can sense the disturbance there.

Its FRIDAY Tomorrow! Weee... seems like the week is passing so fast. Another week in HP again. My manager would be going off on a 2 weeks holidays, hence I will have a direct 1-to-1 meeting with him. Let's see whats the delegations he has installed for me. Moo~ Tired!!!!!!

Getting more tired each day

Not sure why I've been leaving my office later and later. Always stood there to talk and discuss, ending up leaving the office around 5.45-6.00pm instead of the exact 5.30pm. =P

Whatever it is, I should TRY to leave on the dot the next time. My direct manager will be on leave the next 2 weeks, though it won't affect much for me as I'm kinda being attached to another team lead for trainings with some of my peers. Would be getting busier and busier each day.

Now I can barely see what I'm typing, so just bear with me if there are lot of typo errors around.

Learn more and more things each day. Life getting more and more packed. Body becoming more and more TIRED!

Wonder how is dan's interview today? Guess I'll check with him tomorrow in office. And I just realized the file baitu sent me is 490+ pages. Still planning to bring to office to print out the document. Guess I better think twice now. =(

Tuesday, November 13, 2007

Busy Day!!

Team lead drove us out for lunch today with some other colleagues, though I feel like an outcast as I do not belong to their team, but i am like being thrown inside for similar training with my graduate hire peers. But for an easy-going, fun lovely and cute person like me, I will be well like even if they aren't my direct superiors. This team lead actually were one of my "student" during his ICT in my camp, as I was the instructor back then. So coincidence that he was from my camp but luckily he ROD from army. Else..... LOL!

Can feel the heat now, we will be getting more stuff to learn each day, tomorrow will be learning more stuff i believe. It a good exposure i would say! =)

Finally I manage to catch the bus to work today! CLEVER RIGHT! =( Felt so sleepy and filled my cup with 2 X Latte this afternoon. I think i should stop drinking coffee. Cos my favourite latte is so sweet, so scare of getting diabetes in long run. =S Guess I shall start drinking tea from tomorrow onwards, or maybe just pure plain water.

A man just knocked on my door a while ago, its the courier service. My citibank 2FA dongle is here. Hee... I authenticate myself tomorrow when i come home. So tired now, feel like sleeping. Maybe I should!

Oh yah, I've added Dan (my cousin) to my link as well, not sure but out of the blue today, he found himself being a blogger since 2005. Hence, he "resumed" and started his blog today. BLOODA BLOODA! NOT FUNNY! =P Check out his video over his site!

Monday Blues

Finally this week onwards I will be having a full week working schedule. Which shucks! Despite I've just gotten my staff pass on last Friday, thinking that I could take the company shuttle bus this morning, BUT I went to the wrong bus stop. I shall try again tomorrow. =P

4 more days to go before weekends!

This afternoon when i went for my lunch with my colleagues, saw ABM AMRO Bank and Citibank SBS Transit roadshow, my friend signed for the AMRO card cos her friend was serving her. LOL. I think tomorrow I will drop by to enquire on the SBS transit card.

Tired + Eat + Sleep!

Went over to my uncle house yesterday night for dinner, which is Nicholas' house. After a sinful meal, we slowly climb up to the 3rd storeys and hibernate in nick's room. While 2 of my cousins were playing DOTA on the desktop... these 2 kids were trying to get their Sponge Bob Square Pants working on the laptop.

表哥! Can you guide us? Tom: Okie!

Halfway through the setup, we were told to get our butts down for our fruits and ice-cream. =P

Damn I'm hanged! Argh!

What am i doing here so early?

Singnet is giving iTouch 8GB for free if i sign up the 3mbps with them. I'm looking at the mio plan, quite complex about the terms. =P

Still deciding if i should add up another card from citibank. Meaning i take up Dividend + SBS. Wonder if its good deal.

Cards under considerations:
1) Citibank Dividend
2) Citibank SBS Transit
3) Singtel-UOB VISA (Free For Life)
4) POSB Everyday

Happy Deepavali!

Although today is a public holiday, but I can't seem to control myself but to wake up at 8am this morning, is this pre-working syndrome? Sounds like I am a responsible staff to the company. Hee

Just came back from Grand Shanghai restaurant, somewhere located next to the hotel i dine yesterday. This restaurant environment is pretty classy and by looking at the dress code, can sense that those people coming in are from the wealthy group. Too bad I doesn't falls under them. :( As for the food there, price wise are pretty steep for certain dishes and the quality wasn't as expected. So in overall, I can only give a rating of 7/10. To be honest, I would rather revisit Cafe Brio again despite just eating it yesterday. :P

Finally, today is the good chance to pass the Kimchi to janet, glad that she likes it. So maybe next time, we can really get our hands dirty and make more of it.

Didn't really rest for today, tomorrow gonna go back to work and something to shout about is, IT'S WEEKEND! Isn't it cool! How i wish every week there is a holiday. Yah I WISH!

Wat a late dinner!

Another late post... notice the time posted? :P

Had dinner at Cafe Brio located at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel. Quite a coincidence that there is a direct bus service from my office to the hotel, but didn't realize that it reaches within 15 minutes. Damn! Cos the dinner buffet slot starts at 8pm.. but later turns out be 8.30pm. Whatever it is, I sat at the cozy sofa and waited for close to 1.5-2 hours. This hotel is full of Japanese people, been the 2nd visit here, so I'm wondering why these tourists like to visit this hotel. Strange huh? Any affiliation? Beats me. While waiting, saw lots of pretty girls and aunties walking in and out, up and down the escalators, knowing that there is a D&D function going on this evening at level 2. Some of them dressed up super extreme, I saw the guy who was so retro with AFRO hairstyle, with the golden big chain over his neck. LOL. It's exactly like the one you played in arcade. HEHEHE. Another one looks like the Vital Sassoon Model. White hair with the plastic-liked dress. Damn fun man! Heard that AFRO wig can be purchase from SPOTLIGHT, they are selling at $10. I shall visit their shop one day! =)

Took few pics on the food there as I was really really damn super hungry already, quite a letdown when i found out that my favourite "baked dory in the bread" was not serving anymore. Can't even see the label anywhere around. SO SAD! But they did increase some of the dishes which turned out to be a consolation for me.


"KONG BA PAU" with "KONG BA"... I know it's fattening and I'm fat too. BUTTTT It's just too tempting to resist myself. SO this is the 2nd bowl! HEEE~

After dinner, went to pick up my car.

In case you guys didn't see properly, below is the clearer one.

Apparently, I didn't realize that the price of my car is going down, cos i saw around 6 similar models parking around mine. Guess I'm gonna sell mine very soon and replace FERRARI cos I only saw one there. Hate to drive a car that is similar to others. Hmph! LOL

By the way, let's put the jokes aside, i believe these cars belongs to the rich ppl from the Grand Shanghai or some RMS at the Zouk. I just learn the location of Zouk today. Wat a long queue outside, i think this is a normal scene, and nat told me it is Ladies Night tonight. Anyway, it's not a place for me. =)

Took around 10 minutes for my super car to fetch me back home, saw this thing on my table, wondering who mailed me this. After split seconds of thoughts, it was JUL! It's my FYP video recordings. I'm wondering how this mail managed to pass through. Grrr...

Its Monday!!

Brand new start of the week but something to joy about for this week as Thursday is a public holiday, so it's 4 days week for me. :P

Had a rather dry orientation this morning, though i'm like falling asleep but the information were really important for a new staff like me. Almost cleared all the doubts I had, looking for forward in this job and really feel promising after knowing the good benefits the company has installed for me.

Didn't do much things today as most of the time was wasted for that orientation and photo taking session. Both of my shots looked gay and too formal for someone who is so jovial. Right? Though the card will be sticking with me for quite some time but just can't be bothered to even take a glimpse of it, so I just pointed the first photo for my staff card. =P

Kimchi OP!

Today is the 4th day of my Kimchi preparation. My aunt instructed me to cut them into pieces and bottled them at the same time. Keeping longer will enhance the taste. Some snap shots below....


Put into several of these similar bottles(Prune Extract Bottle previously). :P

Boring Saturday

Woke up pretty early today, around 8 plus this morning, you guys must be thinking I woke up accidentally becos I wanna go to work? The answer is no, just that my body has started tuning to the working lifestyle.

Did nothing much for the whole day, went to download iphone theme into my K800i, looks quite cute with those small icons in it. Whereas I am using the Window XP loading screen as my screen-saver. LOL. They are rivals altogether. Dan said the theme is messy and I told him just get yourself prepared for the theme, so that you will get used to it in future when u get the iphone! =P

I've also drafted out the appeal letter. Heee! I think my Prof will get a shock why it's me every semester. HAHAHA!

Watched 933 Awards Ceremony on TV which looks like a delayed telecast, nothing much to shout about, can see that not many of them turned up this year. Quite disappointed.

Friday, November 2, 2007

Weekend!

LOL!

It sound as if I've worked for the entire week, apparently it was just the 2 days and it's weekend!

Sleeping is all i need now. :P

Been reading stuff in the office for the whole day, kept staring at the laptop screen was unbearable, but well I can still take it. Just to realise most of my peers there graduated from NTU EE or CE. There is one PR holding on to NTU masters. LOL. Dan was telling me that our wood-long-kong is on par with NTU. I fainted then. =)

Next Monday will be having orientation and photograph taking. Hope i get my staff card asap man.

First Day at work!

After slacking for such a long period, finally I'm stepping out to the society to work!

Everything seems normal, nothing negative happened today.

FYP results was released this morning around 10am. Got some sms from dan and peers, but I was unable to check as my laptop was not ready yet. After I got hold of my spare laptop which I will be using for the time being, i hooked up to the network and checked my results. Despite knowing I'm only getting a Distinction grade, just want to know the actual marks that I'd be getting. It turned out to be 81. Hai. Life is never fair most of the time, but just got to live with it.

Probably another appeal is on the way. :P

Met up with my nyp mate who is working at the same company, so nice that he walked over from his building and look for me, and we went to lunch together. It's really great when you have friends! But time crawls after my lunch, so painful fighting with Z mob. High level mob! Almost fell asleep while surfing internet as my manager went out for business lunch, i was left alone with a stupid laptop.

Just a few hours before knock off, my manager helped me out to configure my laptop in order to hook onto their domain and setup my account, email and so on. Took pretty long to update all the stupid Hotfixes and updates. Eventually, I left the office at around 6pm. :P

Actually, there are a bunch of us there which i heard we are all graduates hire. So most likely we will be going through this "lab" session together around the cubicles testing out some training stuff.

Carried the laptop back home, cos my manager will start work at a later time, don't intend to lock it in his drawer, else I will be idling again tomorrow. Hee. I still do not have a fixed desk yet as all of us will be shifting to another building sometime this month, so I'm currently using a spare laptop and temp desk. =)

Oh yeah! My cheque book has arrived! Cool! But the account got no money. LOL~
