watever …

it has been weeks or months, everyday when i read the newspaper, it splashes with those news on economy. yeah currently economy condition is pretty bad. so many giant companies are asking for help, and some have collapsed. and of coz u have read abt some CEOs with huge paychecks and retirement packages. the sum, to me and to many i believe, sounds ridiculous. for all these things that are happening to those companies, it just cant be justified if they are receiving so much and yet the companies are struggling. but anyway, i am an idiot in economy.

the company that i am working in, is also not in a good condition, financially … lots of cost cutting activities at the moment. layoff will be the “last option” as what they said. but after so many cost cutting activities, and if the economy is not improving, it will be futile. customer demands have been “non-existence”, orders have been delayed, i am sure many of us are worried.

yeah i have just joined the company for almost four months, but all this things happen. maybe i am unlucky, or maybe i should say that i am lucky. yeah i prefer to think that i am lucky enough to still have the job.

oh yeah, yesterday had gathering with colleagues and friends. we had dinner at warung m nasir if i am not mistaken. it is at killiney road. the decoration is simple, not very bright inside. anyway, the food is good. it matches well with the authentic indonesian food maybe … haha i like the chicken rendang very much. will go there again soon. thinking abt it now make me drool … and i am hungry again 8(-_-)8

it is a cold day indeed …

it has been raining since morning. i felt very lazy today. wanted do something, work, but i didnt feel like doing it at all. there is something that i need to feedback, but i will do it tmr.

so, lazy day, just stay at home. read newspaper in the morning, drank a cup of tea with sugar (most ppl dont drink it that way, but our family do :p haha), then i remembered there was this bread with peanut butter and condensed milk at Central, hk style eating place, then asked my sister to buy me a loaf of bread, and also the condensed milk. ate a few slices of that bread, of coz with peanut butter and condensed milk. that was my first time eating bread with peanut butter and condensed milk. of coz many of u have eaten it that way, but normally i eat bread with butter and sugar, or peanut butter with sugar, or kaya, or strawberry jam, or blueberry jam, or cheese, or chili sauce and pork floss, or i dont know what else i am going to try next time.

anyway, after my lunch, i just slept again … maybe i still feel tired, yeah body is still aching until now, after a gym session with  frens yesterday, a short basketball game two days ago … old body, cant exercise too much nowadays. woke up ard 5pm, have been watching tv since. haha … just had my dinner, and asked my sister to buy some snacks home.

i am still sleepy now … (-__-)b

that’s the end of my long weekends … work again tmr.

oh oh oh, watched bolt yesterday. 3d version. honestly, i dont feel there is a need to watch a movie in 3d, 2d is good enough as long as the movie is good. bolt, is a good one i think. i really enjoyed it. lots of laughter, those animals they are just so cute. go watch ppl, if u have time … you should enjoy it, i think

do i need to ask?

if someone promised something to me, it has been more than two weeks and i am still waiting for that particular promise until now, [refer to the title]

i am bored

last friday i was on leave, coz i had to go to ica to complete my pr application. i made an appointment before. the submission was breeze, only took abt 10 mins. then settled it. after that, they needed to take my fingerprints for the ic, it was also pretty fast. the nightmare came when i had to wait for hours to collect back my passport. it was horrible. they just made ppl wait for hours and hours. there was queue numbers, but they were in random. that was really stupid. and there was time when the queue number wasnt moving at all for more than one hour. i couldnt take it and just left for lunch. i think they just went for lunch or something, but at least could you guys let ppl know to come back later if u were having lunch … if u guys were not having lunch at that time, my apology … but wat happened then?

the whole thing was done abt 2pm. then i didnt know where to go. so i just went to my fav place, the esplanade. not sure why i like that place maybe the sea? or do u call it river? watever. spent some time at the library, actually hours … haha. then went up to the roof top. and sat at the sea (or river) side …

sis smsed me, and asked me to have dinner at city. she was bored and she offered to treat me … who will refuse hahaha … then she suggested to have dinner at the Central. Met her there abt 7pm if i remembered correctly. we had our dinner at Waraku, long queue, given q number, but we didnt wait long, coz many ppl just left, coz they thot there were too many ppl and had to wait for long. we waited for 15mins i guess. we had lots of food, really. felt really full. thats the end of that day.

sat, woke up quite late. then went to school for meeting. i think i must get my thing done asap … then i will have my free sat which i can use for watever i wanna use it for. enjoy my sat … i barely have free sat so far. after i get it done, i hope i can have it … plz give my sat to me … grrr. met yud to get some movies from him.

sunday, met yud and hap for bf, then went to gym, did a little running and stretching. played a little badminton. not as good as i used to be, but still okie lar … then had lunch at school. went to lib to borrow a book. went home for mini movie marathon … hehe 

actually i am bored. its better that i am working. time will pass so fast until i dont realize it … sometimes i dont like it that way, coz if it is too fast, i cant even enjoy wat i am doing. but then again, if i have too much free time, i dont really have many things to do at the moment. so i will feel bored. end up watching movies …

i love working then … watever

burn after reading …

today, went to watch burn after reading with doll … we were late because of … its a long story …

anyway, i’m gonna make it short. i bought the tix, in my mind i wanted to watch at GV max or Grand Cathay. i like big screen, and in the future, in my future house, gonna buy a big LCD or plasma TV or watever which will be come out next time … watever they wanna call it. but i wanna make sure that it is BIG. okay, a bit off track, oh yeah, then i bought two tix at GV Grand, since it is not shown at cathay yet. I thot GV Grand was GV Max, yeah i was so blur.

Then met doll abt 330pm, took train to Vivo. on the way there i asked her whether Grand was at vivo … she was so sure u know :p …. i didnt know why i wasnt so sure at that moment. i smsed yud, asked him whether Grand was at vivo … his reply was rather expected :p … the reply was “nope it is at great world city” … since doll was so sure, then we just gave it a try …

at the counter, me acting blur, pretending that Grand was at vivo … tried to collect the tix … the poor boy was trying to get the me tix, but in the end he decided to check it “at the back”. i mean he went in, maybe talked to his colleague … and finally came out and tell me that i bought the tix for Grand, which is not at vivo … pretended to be surprise … hehe such a pretender huh …

yeah, both doll and i off to great world city … to catch the movie. reached there, and a bit late, i think a few mins … the door was closed already, and the theatre was pretty full.

first few mins, i thot the movie would be boring … in my mind, “oh no, not another penelope plz” … went back a bit, i watched penelope with doll before, was meant to be a surprise for her, but it surprised me instead, coz that movie was really boring … really boring i repeat. sigh .. back again, “burn after reading” was really nice. very funny, very messy, very stupid, the plot was unpredictable, the most important thing is we both really enjoyed it … doll laughed a lot .. me too honestly i like her smile … ops

we supposed to have dinner, but her fren needed something urgently … okie, i was perfectly okie with it … seriously. was i disappointed? i dont know why, i didnt feel that. as i always told her, there is always next time … dont worry abt that.

so we went home … had dinner by myself. watched tv … ate some snacks … watched tv again … and again … and again … hehe and blogged … 

yeah, this blog is kinda messy i know … messy in many ways … 

off now … working again tmr, and looking forward to it

ciao

working at C2 …

getting busier by days … 

there are lots of things to learn at my workplace. maybe in the past, i worked on something different, not so related. i am not struggling with my new job actually. at the moment, wat i wanna do is try to learn as many things as possible. just hope ppl in our group will not mind to teach me one thing or two. i know all of us are very busy now, short-handed, many things to do. i really hope i can just help them. but since i am still new, i only can do that much. but luckily, most ppl are willing to share their knowledge, which is a good thing, isnt it?

at C, i will be in charge on some processes. i will try as hard as possible to be “the best” dealing with the processes … i am going to be … for sure hahaha pray for me ppl, thx in advance.

okay going to post another post with different topic.

all for this working at C2 thingy … wismilak

working at C … 1

i started my work last Monday (18-08-2008) … this is my first ever job. i really hope i can learn lots of things here. anyway i have been with C for four years as a student. So, actually i dont really have something like ‘culture shock’ or watever u wanna call it.

first day at work was pretty okay. didnt do much, didnt have comp account, didnt have a comp, didnt have an email account, and didnt have many more …. talked to new ppl, like ben, xl, roy, and other guys that i have known for some time. yeah, i am quite popular … i mean, i know many ppl there , those ppl that i know from NUS, NTU, or C … yeah, quite a lot of them. until a colleague commented that first day at work, i have known more ppl than him …. jealous huh :p hahaha jk jk 

second day, got my comp account, then tried to get my email account but to no avail … coz they got my name wrong in the first place … so they had to change it again, and needed to wait for approval … everything took time … sianzzz

third day, still so so … read stuff that i have read long time ago .. but yeah, i have forgotten almost everything i would say … so read read read again. then the nice ben taught me lots of things. yeah boss asked him to teach me before he left. coz that week was his last week. i am so sorry ben, i am so being a spoiler … last week of working, still need to face me, who asked so many questions … i hope i didnt annoy u :p

fourth day at work, still the same, get almost all the accounts done after calling IT helpdesk for many times …. i dont know why we need to have so many accounts … and we have to come out with so many passwords, and the passwords are so complicated ones … i forgot a few times, then wat to do? simple, just call IT helpdesk … but seriously, we have so many accounts … i shant elaborate more, pissed me off … for lunch we went to swensen at causeway point, its a farewell lunch for ben, organized by hsiang fang … hahaha

fifth day of work, boss treated us for lunch. its a farewell lunch for ben and hsiang fang, the welcome lunch for xiaolong, sripad (just came back from I), and me, and mom-to-be deb … our boss is just damn smart, combine everything into one … hahah save money huh …

then after work, we went to clark q, had farewell dinner for ben again … drank beer and chivas … BI got drunk …. BI why u so …. haha shall not say it out loud … ellen was dazed for awhile also … luckily i wasnt drunk, a little worried at first, coz that was the first time i drank hard liquor …

to be continued ….

boohoohoo

i am back …

after so long i nv update my blog, yeah kinda bzzz … am i like a fly? keep saying bzzz … :s

anyway, today unofficially is my last day of schooling. just imagine, how long have i been in school? kindergarten 2 years, primary school 6 years, junior high 3 years, senior high 3 years, bachelor 4 years, and for my grad school 4 years … and add them up together … it;s a whopping 22 yearsss … freaking unbelievable. only four years of my life were spent not at school ( i exaggerate it :p) …

anyhow, not sure whether i am happy, or sad, but surely a little nervous here, coz i will start my work on monday … dont know why i wanna start so early. should have taken a break. but nvm … i decided, and now i have to live with it. exciting? yeah a little. lost? maybe, lets see. but surely, it is a next stage of my life. work, earn moniesss …

okie, i shall update again on monday. tmr i have a final presentation at school, not my oral defense yet, just present to our research group. hope everything will be going fine. and not looking forward to the presentation actually.

anyway, going off now … adios

i noe u noe

i noe u noe can have more than one meaning:

1. first of all, it means i know that you know something

2. second of all, it means you know that i know something

3. finally, it means both of us know

kinda busy …

for the rest of this month, i will be damn busy. i will try my best to get wat need to get done … obviously my ‘the’ … dammit, not much progress so far. every time my frens asked abt it, i feel ’something kinda wrong’ … sigh

i have been telling myself to concentrate on it first, then do other stuff. but so far, it doesnt work. i still do many other things which suppose to be not so important. i am worried about ‘this’ and i am worried about ‘that’, but it seems that i am not worried about ‘it’ …

about other thing, one particular thing, yeah as always, i give my self three chances. i have spent two of them, and i am left with one more chance. now i am asking myself, whether i should keep it and use it later, or just use it now, and see what will happen. obviously if i use it now, i kinda know wat the outcome is … and if i use it later, the outcome is the same anyway … :p yeah seriously, i am in dilemma. but actually i shouldnt be worried about ‘it’ at the moment, and spending my precious time worrying something that i have known the outcome, kinda stoopid … but got the urge to tell ‘it’ seriously. i wanna make it known. hope there is a chance, just ONE chance … i dont ask for more, although if there is more it will be better :p … greedy me … haha. but just gimme ONE chance, thats all …

okie, off to other stuff again … oh yeah, yesterday went ‘carbbing’ with ‘yud’ and ‘hap’. omg, i had the crave for those crabs … and we ordered two of them, one was the butter crab and the other one was claypot beehoon crab. 15 fried buns. extra beehoon (rice noodle). extra soup … ‘crabbilious’ really … we were so full after that.

then today, cc ‘forced’ me to go karaoke with her. honestly i dragged myself to join her. haha sorry abt that … but but but, actually i enjoyed it pretty much, except that i didnt know how to read most of the lyrics ( chinese songs …. :s), i only know how to read simple ones … then i sang couple of english songs … quite enjoyable lar. she recorded the session, and she said she wanna upload it to utube … plz DONT …

oh i realized i am not good in singing ’she will be loved by maroon5′ and ’simple love by jay’ anymore. i used to be pretty good in singing them … had difficulty in singing both songs … lack of practice maybe :p … yeah i know, last time i sang them quite often … but today, realized both songs, not as fun anymore.

ops, so late, gtg now .. ciao
