Full Speed Ahead?...

Was just reading Bao's blog about charging full speed ahead and not resting on your laurels etc... For years, I have been complaining about being in lukewarm water and being bored and blah blah blah. And when I finally took the plunge... I want my lukewarm water back... Sighs... humans are fan4 jian4... ok, not humans. I'm fan jian. Haha. Always think grass is greener on the other side. Get lukewarm water so comfy still want to complain... good lar. Now in icily cold water liao then sulk in self pity. Kekekeke.

Ah well, no choice liao. In new waters must learn how to survive. Explore the sights and escape the sharks... I hope. Falalalalala. Sian. Tmr have to go work.

Free Lunches all through the Week!

Looking on the bright side, leaving a company means you get tons of free meals and interesting stories...

On Friday, my firmware colleague treated me to a nice korean dinner. He leads a rather extraordinary life (by my standards). He studied in Japan, work there as a rather hands on worker, then suddenly discovered his interest in firmware. And started to pick it up by himself, and then manage to find himself a job as a firmware engineer. Got transferred to Germany to work and then came back to Singapore finally.... He told me if China has opportunities, he's going there. How cool is that? I guess that's one of the benefits of being single... you can just go... no strings attached :).

Yesterday, was given a Thai food treat by my secondary school fren ming, who is also my colleague. I kinda envy her easy going and carefree style. She's always bubbly and positive and takes everything within her stride. And she's happily planning her wedding next Decemeber. It's like nothing fazes her. And she's permanently happy =). Wish I can be like her. Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know... happiness is all in the mind. But I think maybe it has something to do with the genetic makeup as well. I have I have a natural tendency to be slightly pessimistic. I blame my parents for my pessimistic genes. Hiak Hiak.

Anyway, today I had Japanese food with my vendor. We worked on projects together for the past 4 years. He's happily married and works hand in hand with his wife on managing this company they built up together. And they have a 2 nice boys, twins somemore! And very goodlooking, courtesy of good genes from mom and dad. Not sure why the conversation drifted to relationships, and he gave a few pointers. That 2 people together have to give and take. I asked whether issit REN (Ninja Skill) and he said cannot say that, it's "giving in" Haha =). And he told me that being with someone is having a person to share your life with and each party should learn to accomodate one another. He said it's inevitable to have disagreements and arguments in a relationship but in time, the couple will change and accomodate one another. Cool. Free Sashimi and words of advice. Starting to see my vendor in a different light.

In case you haven't noticed... I'm bragging about how many different kinds of treats I have since Friday. Tomorrow it will be my team's treat of Chinese food. Shucks. Think my waistline is expanding...

Who Knows Where the Road May Lead You, Only a Fool Could Say...

The blue building in the distance is the Korea HQ of my company. There's only a week left before I say goodbye. Suddenly overwhelmed by a wave of reluctance to leave my comfort zone, my cube, my crazy colleagues who never fail to cheer me up with their kookiness... I know the system inside out, upside down. I know the people on the different floors. I breakfast with my colleagues almost every morning and drink my cup of tehsi. I can talk and laugh loudly without self consciousness in the office. I shout over the aisle to call linrongbao and macho. I can see the back of Robert's head staring at Aquafanatics webpage in the middle of a teleconference. I turn around and there is SBG hard at work in the middle of debugging or kicking the printers. If Master Khoo is still there on my right, I will probably hear him breathe the "darth vader breathing" and saying sian. And Ben will be there helping out with the soldering and his continual search for the missing trolleys...

OH MAN! I AM SO GOING TO MISS EVERYBODY! :'(

Negativity...

Am drowning in negativity lately... It seems like all the vibes I'm getting and feeling are bad, dark, cloudy, depressing... Yes depressing... Been trying to pull myself up away from all these but haven't been succeeding too well. :(

Sighs... What's wrong with me...? MUST... CHEEER... UP....

Anyway, I was doing this facebook quiz and it seems to hit the nail on the head about my personality... which is interesting...

Temperament
Energetic
Your energy is boundless - you are racing ahead to some goal, dream or opportunity that lies before you. And you always make sure that you are two steps ahead of the pack. You move so fast through life that you sometimes forget to take time to smell the "proverbial" rose. Channel your energy into what lies immediately ahead of you and your future will be full of even more exciting happenings.

Interests
Simple
You are continually pursuing a simpler and less complicated life - you don't allow yourself to fall victim to all of the "should do's" that society continually bombards you with. You are thoughtful about your life choices and think in terms of yourself, others and the world in which we live. You have a great sense that we are part of something much bigger and we must be good to others, if we want others and the world to be good to us.

Amusement
Thoughtful
You are easily stressed out and overwhelmed - you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. Because you tend to be self reflective, you know your limits quite well and must remember to not exceed those limits. When you overwhelm your life with obligations and responsibilities, you tend to shut down and go into yourself even further. Take some time to find your serenity and kick back your feet.

Passion
Traditional
Your notions about romance are viewed as unrealistic by many, but don't let that stop you. When you think of romance, you think of huge gestures of commitment, sacrifice and love like we see in the movies. Flowers, chocolate, and wine are just some of the ways to your heart. You want to feel loved and treasured by your partner and you expect to be courted, admired and hotly pursued. You long for old fashioned dating.

Cool..... Bullseye!

Life is like a glass of sparkly. You never know till you taste it...

It's time for a new start, but I feel slightly unnerved because it means I have to start from scratch again. Start to get to know new people. Start to create a rapport with new bosses and colleagues. Start to get accustomed to a new environment. Start to learn new things. And the list goes on...

And my boss and lead are both trying to poison my mind by saying that my new workplace is sucky and the culture is bad and I will be bullied. Sighs... Haha. Which makes me even more jitterish because I must admit that my current company is really a comfortable environment to work in. But like all comfortable places, they pay people really badly and try to get away with it. Hahahaha!

Of those who left, some entered another workplace which is cool and good. While some really ain't that happy. So yes, it's kinda like a gamble. I have been in too many gambling sprees this year. Quite bad for the heart. :(. Anyway, CJ says he has never regretted it at all! Master Khoo seems pretty ok and his new company is really generous, plus he dresses really well now :). YewPapa is so-so. Think SSM is doing pretty good. Bro Budi is now a businessman. Hmmm... come to think of it. The odds aren't that bad isn't it? Keke.

Anyway, THE DAD has dished out a few words of advice - "Yes, the new environment you are going to may be even worse than where you are now. But it can also be way better. If you never go, you will never know." So I guess the path ahead is clear. As CJ says "No guts no glory!" and as Master Khoo says "Huat! Huat! Huat!" Kekekeke. Sighs... I love all human pigs and graduated human pigs...

Waiting and Feeling Sleepy...

Somebody is washing the fish tank and I'm waiting to go home... So sleepy.... Yawnz...

I love my friends, my family and a certain mule

Ignore my previous blog. I have no idea what the bloody hell I was writing. I guess I was just trying to sieve through my thoughts and try to understand all the congested junk that was crowding my head. You know... like Dumbledore sieving his brain so that he can see things clearer.

Anyway, I feel really blessed to have a great family and a wonderful bunch of friends who are always there for me when I'm down. Thank God!

(:The Mule is sleeping happily now while I'm writing all these. I have a feeling he will not complete all that has to be studied for the exams:)

"Make the Best of my Life" Pie

After watching the show - Waitress, Bao and I have been coming up with names of pies that we would like to bake. She is more inventive than me cos' she came up with the "Chase Away the Blues" Pie which will have tons of blueberry. And for me... I didn't come up with anything remotely intriguing except some depressing lousy pie names since I'm overly prone to being unhappy and zhuan1 niu2 jiao3 jian1. It's a genetic defect, I think, even though my mama would beg to differ on that point.

Anyway, I have come to the conclusion after the past week that a relationship is a difficult thing to handle. It's kinda like trying to bake a pie and merging two totally different entities together. It has to be handled lovingly and patiently, placed under correct temperatures and alot of time has to be devoted to it. It's difficult to juggle because different pies needs different handling methods and different ingredients to bring out the best flavour. It's more difficult when the 2 main ingredients are both flawy and have characters that resemble mules. God knows what the bloody hell I'm talking about. Hahaha.

Impertinent of me to talk about pie making because this is my maiden trip to the kitchen. Hohoho... but... I think a relationship is a humbling experience. You have to acknowledge your own flaws and try to turn as much of a blind eye to your partner's. And the worst part is that everything has to be exposed, because the person you have chosen will be the one who will be closest to you from now till forever I guess. And there are clashing of ideas, personalities, thinking... anything you can possibly imagine. But I guess it's a process that has to be gone through before a remotely edible pie can be baked... (Why the hell am I still harping on pies?)

Anyway, to put a stop to my pointless ramblings, I remember what my mama told me about this colleague of hers who told her near her wedding day that she is confused as to whether she picked the right guy.... And my mama's reply was that this was not the thought she should be worrying about, but how she should try to work out and make the best of her relationship. The most important thing is that the couple cares alot about each other. Alas, jiang1 hai2 shi4 lao3 de4 la4.....

Happily Ever After... :)

Everytime I go to a wedding, I will be get slightly teary eyed and overwhelmed with sentimentality. Especially when you see the baby photos of the bride and groom, and you see them growing up, looking gawky in school... and then miraculously meet and fall in love. Everything seems perfect and they will live happily ever after...

It's little wonder why girls drive themselves crazy trying to plan the big affair... It's supposedly once in a lifetime. And you are paying big bucks for it. Plus, it's probably the only time in the world you can play dress up and finally fulfill a girl time dream of becoming a princess.... even if it's only for a day. And your prince charming is by your side. Guys probably will never understand it... but try to play along if you can... Haha.

But I guess, behind all the glitz and makeup, what is most important for the bride is that the man walking down the aisle with her truly loves her and will never hurt her. Then I guess... nothing else really matters.

Congrats to my good friend Luong and Haoge. May you say happy and blessed. :)

In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight...

Have you ever been to a theatre, and when the show starts... you forget about everything else. There's just the characters, the music and you in the darkness. Nothing else really matters.

Tired

I'm tired... Has everything I have done been for something or is it going nowhere. Funny how life goes. Never been so sad before. *Sad smile*

Sometimes love is not enough I guess.

Saturday and at Home

Life has been hectic. I have been OTing... searching for jobs.... going for an interview this week which absolutely sucked, singing, and I'm learning about investments. In fact, it has been so hectic that I was scolded by the bus driver when I boarded the bus today in a daze. Cos' I forgot to tap the ezlink card. The uncle gave me the "You are deliberately trying to cheat SBS look.". For pete's sake... I may be poor, but I have my pride.

Anyway, point by point, my search for a job... Yes... I have been trying to get down to it and follow the CJ principle - 3 applications per week. So far, I have followed that rigorously for.. like 2 weeks. Hahaha! I know I have been getting happily wrinkly in my lukewarm water... too scared to venture out. So I am determined to get my foot down and go for it. If I keep por por ma ma, I am not going to learn much.... I realise my resume is as lean as the lean sigma I'm learning. Ok... bad joke. But strangely, those interviews I have been to are mostly in JTCs.. which makes my previously determined stance take flight once I stand despondently in front of those dastardly ugly blue white buildings.... Sighs... Why does my first employer has to be so high classy and multinational.... :(. (Ok.. ppl in or were in you-know-where, I know you all are going to oppose the high classy talk... but the name does have a high classy ring what...) Maybe I should do an internal transfer? Anyway, let me just gambaru and take things easy. No point worrying. Jia You Go Go!

So well... investments... this crazy interest came at a time when I feel superbly poor and my meagre paycheck doesn't seem to be able to pay for what lies ahead. My poor Quah is trying his best studying and working. I admire him alot. For doing all that he can despite always giving people the "I'm a stupid BUM" talk. I'm going to be a duckie too. Calm above water but paddling hard below. :). As long as we work hard, who cares what others think.... Ah well! I think investments is the way to go. Gonna self study some finance! WOHOO!

Ok, time for me to read up on how to become a millionaire. I put up another pointless blog about nothing... geez... And I put up David's pic cos' he's cute and has a great voice. I love to sing! Let me go for exams and teach next time! JIA YOU JIA YOU GO GO!!! I love my friends luong and kong and leader! I'm nuts... yes Robert... you don't have to remind me.

Sheraton and Sattine!!!

Change of plan!!! It shall be Sheraton and Sattine!!!

Sheraton is gorgeous and when me and beng walked in... we kinda knew this is it =). Plus next week is the wedding show which means more perks thrown in!!!

We are happy!

You there in the back row. Watch me when I sing my song. Hear me loud and clear and strong!

I have a new voice teacher :). She is living the kind of life which I can only dream of. Auditioning for roles and she has just won one recently which is like beyond cool... What I would give to have that voice and life. Ah well... I guess I just have to ganbatte and work towards my goal :). What's the point of moping. ;)

Anyway, the singing class has injected another dose of renewed interest in my dwindling passion and I'm starting to remember how I feel when I'm in a theatre... and feeling my heart soar and melt with the voices on stage... And dragging my scared ass to attend musical classes and workshops... standing scared in front of a class to sing my solo... Haha... Those were the days... I remember I was even trembling next to the piano and my teeth were chattering. The teacher even had me to face the wall instead of the audience cos' I had stagefright. Hahahaha... the indignity I suffered for my interest. Then hurting my voice real bad and had to stop singing for 2 years... that's when I felt all my dreams were washed away. I got my voice and my classes back and even joined a choir... so I guess I fulfilled part of my dream of singing on stage with the glaringly bright spotlight on me... and tons of others =)... Hahaha!

Sing Sing Sing!!!

Swissotel and Sattine (S&S)... and turning 27 :'(

Geez... i just realised that... Been bz trying to find a hotel for my wedding next year. Which is like... yah... my god... I'm getting married? I am shocked myself... But I guess things happen for a reason. Like why I suddenly have a flat, booked a bridal studio which led us to getting a date and lastly to my mad search for a hotel. I wonder why I'm suddenly getting married too... life is weird. Do I want to marry so fast? I guess I do.... but I wonder if I'll suddenly freak out the few mths before the actual date... Hehehe... ah well... I guess I don't think too much. Let life bring me where she wants to =). I'm in for a ride!

McCafe and a Mocha

Yesterday had been fun. I went for a pedicure and now have altrociously maroon toes. The day before yesterday I dyed my hair brown... Yes... I've entered the kingdom of the auntiehood. Ah well, have to try everything once I guess.

Anyway, enough about my Ah Lian ways... I went for pedi with Frances at the OMG... further proof of my oncoming auntieness - AMK HUB. Then we had soup restaurant! My favourite! Yumyum... and after that proceeded to the McCafe to catch up on life! I love McCafes and KopiBean!

I guess life is never smooth sailing and we are often plagued by worries... but I think a nice chat and a mocha goes a long way... =)

Ah Lian Wannabe

I'm an ah lian wannabe who can't sleep but I'm tired... Sighs...

Dirty Jobs

Much as I love to receive a pay package every month (yes, even though it's a pathetic one)... I really dislike doing some jobs... you know... like chasing people to do work that is out of your jobscope. They can make up some ludicrous story about their problem and I would naively believe them. Or they can tell me the bare truth and I would stupidly doubt them. Cos' I know nuts about what they are doing. Yes... I've been hounding my fellow colleagues, in a different team, to get something done... And it's disastrously taxing. Up to the extent that I think my phone calls are now been ignored. But if I don't pester them, my lead and boss will pester me... and there we go in an unhappy merry go round. Sighs... It's times like this when I totally hate my job... I repeat. Totally. Hate. My. Job.

I recall some time ago that I said that I felt like I was in lukewarm water at work.... comfy but boring. Now I can feel the bubbles festering and it's f***ing (pardon me) boiling at times. I'm tired but when I try to rest, all the ugly scenes at work pop up and I just want to tear somebody's head off. OMG! I am starting to sound like super boy genius... Anyway, to sidetrack, a new girl joined our team today, a china girl again... Sometimes I wonder where all the Singaporeans work... in banks? ... anway... Ah Beng ask SBG whether he think the girl is pretty. And SBG's reply? "After I greeted her, I immedicately went back to my board." And he followed on to say that he's shallow. Hahaha! guys... -_-"... Ok.. end of my pointless sidetrack. SBG has the queerest way of saying things... so interesting.

Ok... I shall stop thinking about my work and try to rest... To hell with bad schedules and hectic plans! I shall just watch my teewee, play me piano and sing me a few tunes. And maybe borrow some violent games from SBG and shoot some bloody monsters' heads off.

Reading about my Past

Life's queer... I was reading my old blogs... and it's weird how things are so different and yet so much the same.... I'm still complaining about my job. I still watch korean dramas. I'm still a gan geong spider. Hehe. I'm still with the same groups of friends I have since I was a kid.

Yet... my life is completely different too. Because I fell in love with someone whom I would have snorted at (ka phui) a year ago. Okok... joking. =) It's cos' I was like pining for u know... the brooding hero in Long Vacation... mu chun tuo chai... weeuwee. Tall tall, play piano... I was telling Kong all these and she told me that yeah, and he was hoping for a slim slim one, ballerina type, then instead become me. Then i growled at her. But I guess it makes sense. Anyway, I'm deliriously happy with a hokkien spouting, shortshort ah beng. (Not about the hun ki part though). Anyway, I've been actively searching for a flat and will be choosing one coming monday. It's exciting and nerve-racking... I can't believe I'm actually going to get a flat... something which I can't even fathom last year. Ah well.... Life's interesting =).

Ok, enough of my pointless self centered ramblings. I shall go to bed. Hohoho.

MACHO's Secret

Hehehehe...

Everybody has been trying to find out Macho's secret girlfren since we realised he started dressing up and not joining us for movies. HEHEHEHE.

Me and beng have been plaguing him, but macho used his most powerful tool. He act blur, stone, stare or run away. Pretty amazing the things he can do. Even SBG got super agitated to know who the girl is. He was like debugging his USB issues... relentless and tireless. But thanks to my lead and ms linrongbao, we manage to nail down the person... HAHAHAHA! Fun.

Ok, gotto run. Ciao =)

Another Day at ECP

I like East Coast Park. You know... It has the beachy relaxed vibe and you feel healthy just going there... even to have a large mocha with whipped cream. Yummy. If I have a doggy, I'll probably bring it there to jog/cycle and just laze around. =)

But my one complaint is that the weather is quote-unquote SBG "Bloody Hot". I'm totally not into photoageing unlike some weirdo who like to be dark... Bleah.

But I think my trip today to ECP has gained me more pounds that what I hope to lose... Sighs... cycled for an hour... searched for Bao who only bladed for an hour. Drank mocha... cycled back to bicycle shop (3mins) then off to lunch at Ajisen... Sighs... This explains my expanding waistline. Sad.

Ah well... time to lose more weight. Jia You GOGO!

Tinkle a few notes and sing a few bars

It's when I tried to demostrate my pathetic piano skills to the beng that I realise that I suxs big time. Geez... So now... if I'm going to practise at the rate I'm doing at now, I think I won't even be able to play by the time I'm 50. And (one of ) my dream is to play and sing. :(. Ok, I shall set aside at least 2 hrs every week to play through my songs! Jia You Go Go!

Feeling a trifle directionless now... Perhaps I should take up singing lessons again. All my life I wanted to be good at something, but I seems I'm like a Jack of all trade and master of none cos' I try to do too many things at once (sheepish). Concentrate... MUST MUST practise me piano more. GAMBATE NE!!!!

Y I put the picture of the flower? I have no idea....

My UnShallow PBM =)

The whole world may think that you are unpretty =). But only one person needs to think that you are beautiful.

:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Hanging Out

Ever since I discovered the paranomic picture taking function in my phone camera.... I can't stop taking pictures. =)

Yes... Hanging out with me friends at vivo again. =). Amazing we have been friends since our secondary school days... which is like more than 10 years... MY GOODNESS... Bao and Zhi are in the in between jobs. Ms Lai and I are stuck unhappily in our present jobs and Ms Chunyu is taking a break. Here we are, comtemplating which part of the world we will travel to for our next trip... And me being blacklisted cos' I'm kinda considering. =)

I hope everybody stays happy and cheerful. Especially some friends who seem very down lately... and it pains me not to be able to help but I guess some problems have to be overcome by themselves.

Jia You Go Go Girls!

The Calm after an Outburst

You know how you feel when after you do a massive complain blog and you regret what you have written... I always feel that way... Geez... Sounded whiney and childish... ah well. What's written can't be unwritten.

Who is the PBM? 0_0

Some cakes, a cup of kopi and a few good friends

This is what life is about :)... meeting up with my good friends and catching up over deliciously hot kopi and sharing cakes (even though Zhi spread the flu bug to me... I'll still forgive her)... I love my friends! MUACKS!...

Cycling is FUN!!!

I wish I live near East Coast. Then I can be a cool girl living near the beach... WOHOO. Anyway... today we went blading and cycling!!! With Ah Beng, Yew PAPA, BaoBao, Macho Man, Super Boy Genius, CJ who is getting married! and Aimeng with Alex and Jih Heong =). WOHOO! Whole gang of us! It's fun =). Never knew SBG can cycle so well... even though he is irritating and keeps riding on the pedestrian paths... -_-'''. And the Ah beng legs short short still can cycle so fast... =)

I'm a happy girl =)

There's No Business Like Show Business!

I attended this musical concert which I was supposed to be part of but backed out due to health reasons.

(1) I'm glad I didn't joined cos'... well... it suxs.
(2) I suddenly remember why I love musicals so much....

Well... in the midst of the awful warbling, the beautiful lyrics of Les Miserables still made my heart miss a beat. From the patriotic "Do you hear the people sing! Singing the song of angry men!" where the students of the French revolution shouted out their anger and hope for a better tomorrow. To the heartwrenching " I dreamed a dream" where Fantine belted out her life of anguish and longing and finally to Eponine's "On my own" where she sang of her unrequited love... The music... the lyrics... the songs... binding a magical story of love, sorrow and hope.... Sighs... I need to replay my cd with the gorgeous singing to hear Michael Ball and Frances Ruffelle sing again... Tonight's performance is a massacre of the musical... Geez....

And I think I shall go and buy my CHESS musical cd as well. I have always loved songs from the show... =)

SOMEDAY! SOMEDAY I SHALL GO TO BROADWAY AND WATCH LES MISERABLES AGAIN! =) *Hint... a certain somebody... please get the hint*

Ah well... even if I can't sing on stage... perhaps I can still follow my dreams and be a speech therapist. We only live once I guess. YEE HONG! JIA YOU GOGO!

Awake at 12am

Can't sleep... Lost my ability to write crap... Geezz... shall try again another day i guess....

It's easier to get smart capable folks than to build up a great team...

It just struck me... That our EE Human Pig family has great team dynamics... And it's not easy getting to that stage. It means that we know one another very well, we care for each other, we have been through the "I do not like you stage" fraught with disagreements and arguments, before we hit the "Yeah man! Let's tackle this problem together man!" stage. You know... when you see Robert and SBG helping Master Khoo tackle issues without boss setting up a task force. Or Mr Osim helping the idiot Beng debug ESD issues or doing soldering. This is what I call team work.

Yes, sure... get in new smart big brained ppl to replace those who leave... there are plenty of ppl out there... really... But see what a fantastic team you have on hand... and appreciate them... and see the wonders they can do for you. :)

Ghost Rider and Shopping with the EEs

It's been a good day :). Left office for lunch with the entire team and then went out with some of the guys to watch the Ghost Riders. After the show, SBG expressed over interest at the Latino babe in the movie and pondered over why they use Nicholas Cage as the Ghost Rider instead of the younger guy who appeared as the young Ghost Rider. Mr Osim said it's cos' Nicholas Cage is the only guy who can accept having his face replaced by a flaming skull for most of the movie... which makes sense. Anyway, thank goodness that he did not become Superman.... And Robertus and Macho keep giggling throughout the movie... siao... -_-'''.

After that we had a cuppa of kopi at kopibean while Beng and Mr Osim making fun of Darren's vampirish face... again... and hypothesize over how Darren's sucker fish disappeared into thin air after he went back melbourne for 2 wks... Here's the theory - Starving Angelfish/2 goldfishes/Sucker Fish -> Violent angelfish attacked suckerfish cos' its hungry -> Goldfishes cleaned up the carcass -> Viola! No more sucker fish. My bro had another theory though... after he saw my msn nick comment, he said to check for 2 angelfishes cos' maybe the suckerfish was so starved of food that it slimmed down and became an angelfish... I must give him some credit for creativity...

Then came the shopping part... never went shopping with a bunch of guys before... Quite interesting... heard interesting comments about big butts and thighs and wat nots which I never expected to come out from guys' mouths... Hiak Hiak Hiak.... :)

Ah well, Happy CNY to all my frens and our wacky bunch of Human Pigs and ex Human Pigs... It has been a worthwhile 3 years... too bad we will disband soon. Wohoo! And we are meeting CJ for lunch next week! HAPPY CNY! Gong XI Gong XI Gong XI ni AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

How much wood can a woodchuck chop if a woodchuck can chop wood?

I'm burnt out... from work... and bored... from doing the same stuff over and over again. Been sending resumes out these few weeks but the replies have not been good. Ah well... Will try to send more. CJ says I've to send at least 3 every week, which is what I intend to do. :). I'm hoping Robertus will become a manager so that he can hire me (I've already forced him to make a pact to hire me and hook little finger liao. He can't escape. Bwahahahahaha!).

Boss gave me one day off after I tell him I'm exhausted... but giving off isn't going to solve the problem. People are discontented and planning to leave. I wonder if the ppl up there see that. All these great young people will their experience and knowledge are going to pack their bags and go and I think them-with-their-heads-up-in-the-clouds still haven't got a clue what to do. I wonder if I'll be like the people-up-there next time? Everyday waxing lyrical about how AMAZING and GREAT the company's performance is... while the people on the ground are secretly shouting BULLSHIT throughout their presentation. Us on the ground who OTed, skipped lunch, carrying oscilloscopes everywhere, smelling in vaporised flux and solder - gets only poor health and EMC radiation. The great Wayang... everything is for show... ah well... what to do... I'll now take a break and gambate since now somebody is accompanying me to jia you as well! :).

Let's see who will graduate next... maybe it will be me :). Hehehehe.

Rock Climbing Girl

Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! Nah, it's just my daughter :).

Butt Open Flower Weekend

Yes... went blading... more like went falling... Wah... Butt itchy asked the guys to teach us to blade today. Haha! This continues to prove the theory of my apparent lack of balance. And it brings back memories of how I used to keep falling down in moving buses and squashing terrified kids :). Ah well, didn't know Bao could blade. So cute leh! See her happily gliding about with her face all pink. Hahahaha x_x. Darn! Must go and practice more...

Next week go rock climbing... My God... I must be crazy.
