时辰已到。。。

Backie =p

2009-04-11T22:08:00.001+08:00

Haha... My sincere apologies to my loyal "customers"...

I'm back here, on a peaceful Saturday night. Why the sudden urge back here? I'm not too sure why but my fingers brought me here.

Shall describe a bit on my job environment. It's political. Yeah it is and I cannot mention it here. It's too sensitive (those who wanna know can PM me =p). Juz a couple of weeks time and I could hear stories everywhere. Those who were condemned, haiz, good luck to u.

When I got interviewed that time, the manager empathized so much on teamwork, where it's lacking most here. And in such intensed political environment, when will he ever gonna find the true meaning of teamwork. What I can onli do now is to absorb and stop emitting all these nonsense. Hope my batch of new staff can really work together.

While working in the office today, I heard my supervisor tekaning my new colleague. She's having a difficult time since her first arrival a week after me. She's quite young, inexperience, nervous and most importantly, her situation awareness is very bad. She's still doing the wrong things at the wrong time.

She irritated my supervisor with her "bollywood actions" when she gets nervous. I've been wondering whether is she acting blur, or is she really confused. Hope she buck up a bit and not get terminated like what happened to my the other new colleague (sad but he really deserved it). My cases are piling up and hope I'm still able to help her if it's within my reach.

How was she tekaned? My supervisor stayed back 3 hours juz to make her stay back for an hour (OT pay is ineligible). He bombarded her wif questions, questions and more questions. And finally make her do a serious case (it's really serious which I can't disclose). The case is not settled and she'll haf to be in the office at 0645 on Monday.

I thought the tekan was for her own good initially. The truth finally revealed after we knocked off. Me, my supervisor and a couple of my colleagues took the same bus and my supervisor told one of my senior colleague "How was the tekaning session? Dare to complain to the manager I tekan her. Now I show her wad's the real tekan."

I was disgusted by his childishness. Nothing else to add.

Well well well... 88.3FM is broadcasting nice songs today...

Out Of Job

2008-08-25T15:40:00.003+08:00

Okay... I'm finally out of job! Was told that last Sat was my last day, ORD LOH! Some of u might think that I'm crazy, feeling so happy even I'm without a job. But not so for my manager, who got terminated, suddenly. No notice no nothing and he's gone. Wad a listed company. Hope he's able to find a job real soon!

Alrite something interesting from your PM's speech, follow the link:
http://cdn3.libsyn.com/mb/tmbs-080825-we_need_you_baby.mp3?nvb=20080825073528&nva=20080826073528&t=0b24b390141b7eef438f5

Yeah it's none other than Mr. Brown who started yet another interesting clip, or rather, an audio clip. Enjoy!

Long Long Time...

2008-08-13T21:20:00.002+08:00

Okay, it has been awhile since I last blogged. Hmmmz nothing much except that I'm still in that company.

Had been deciding on where my future lies, believe should be able to come out wif it soon...

Well good luck to me!

Tendered...

2008-07-30T20:18:00.000+08:00

Okie, tendered my resignation today. Didn't get the chance to speak to the people related to this matter. Tomorrow will be the show down!

My Time Is Upped!

2008-07-29T23:59:00.002+08:00

After much considerations, I've decided to tender my resignation. Felt that it'll be better for the company to get the right person to fill the hole to move forward and also not to waste both our time. I admit, it's sudden but it's not surprising!

My letter is upped and it's down to them to speak to me after I hand over my letter to them. Well doneded, time to sleep!

Who To Blame?

2008-07-28T21:18:00.004+08:00

2 days no blog coz my life lighted up all of a sudden. Saturday was a bloody one, OT after OT, well who to blame?

Went to meet Kelvin for lunch and went to cut my hair (finally). Went Kun's house after that and played FIFA Street. Very fun and I'm d/l-ding now. Dine out at Bukit Timah where Bo, Kun and me had a spread. Actually not that much, but I feel like those gui who are coming out soon. Had supper at West Coast Park's Mac after that.

Went to watch Dark Knight yesterday at Marina Square. A show too chim for me to understand but it's a movie which will make u think about something big in life, moral principles. Watched the K1 Drifting or wadever event it was and somehow someway, we are on our way for our dinner.

Managed to meet up wif Yew, was quite some time since we met him. Ate at our 老地方 and went touring in Kun and Bo's house. And that concludes my weekends.

Today... Bloody blue day... Customer, customers and more customers. Well who to blame? E-Gas, cheena guyz or tuners like me? CNG, when r u gonna make it big? Shall keep myself entertained liaoz...

Pay Increase

2008-07-25T23:21:00.002+08:00

Believe most of u out there would be happy if this happens to u. Got my position confirmed by the company one month before my probation ends. A S$200 increment but still not the desired pay most of us want.

My Managing Director said that I'm lucky to be able to talk to him like that, where u won't be able to see the MD at other companies so often. First thing shot up to my mind was, of course lahz, your company is so small.

He "open" my path ahead of me. Might be training DDF in Thailand, E-Gas in Italy and get to dismantle engines in China. If I'm good enough, he might set up a workshop for me to manage. That's wad he called profit sharing, BUT if business is no good, I gotta answer for it.

Alrite enough of work, still needa go back on my off day tomorrow. So shitty...

Haiz

2008-07-23T22:10:00.000+08:00

Haiz...

Headache...

2008-07-22T21:58:00.002+08:00

Hmmmz... Not very good. Got frequent headaches nowadays. Are my days numbered? Haha think too far le...

I'm still surviving, badly. The thinking of sacking my boss is becoming so true now haha! Ok nothing le, shall go sleep to recover now...

Frustrating Day

2008-07-22T00:13:00.002+08:00

Imagine last minute kena send to Tuas and when u reached there, u need to go home to take your passport and go Malaysia. Monday is already so blue and my company juz make it bluerer for me, suck thumb.

Went to learn another system, another half f*** one. Kun received a call last Saturday to work on Sunday. He was told to inform me but I didn't receive any call from my colleague. On Sunday 0850, I received a sms from my manager. The sms was from my HR saying I needa be in Tuas on Sunday at 0900 to learn DDF. I hack care it and ignore the calls from the boss' son, who is sadly, my friend. Went out wif my frens instead and gave him a call onli at around 1245, saying I juz woke up and juz saw the sms. I'm still the same old me, I dun like to entertain last minute request.

The DDF package was well prepared but the components were yet to be revised. In the end, learn onli like 50% of it. Today, the "tomato" package was unprepared, which lead to a shortage of components. Same, learning onli 50% of it. Really pissed wif the company, which they claimed to be a listed one. So disorganized, wasting their money and wasting my time.

Reached SG at around 2045. Continued working (or should I say standing around) until 2245. They finally invited the Italians to help troubleshooting some of the unsolvable cars. So bo bian and suck thumb again.

Had been thinking of tendering my resignation even before finding another job. Well will think thru again. C'est la vie c'est la vie c'est la vie...

Welcome Back My Fren!

2008-07-20T21:24:00.002+08:00

Yet another degree holder. Xin Hui is back from Aussie after completing her 1 year Nursing Course.

A mini meet up wif her, Ben Sun and Melissa at West Coast Park's MAC for lunch and went to KBox. Gals nowadays have dinosaur appetites. We ate quite a lot juz in a short 3 hours.

My onli weekend is gone, yet again. Sianz...

Another Moment Of Last Minute Changes

2008-07-19T00:45:00.002+08:00

Firstly was to "invite" me to Tuas to learn DDF and now, no more Civic Centre for me. Continue wif this bloody DDF and hope my Sunday is free (juz days after I declared myself free).

Now my boss wants me to catch up and learn more so that he can move on wif his yet again new project. He have a lot of ideas and projects in his mind but some way some how, I'm involved in all of them. Believe he hasn't wake up from his dream to make up his bloody mind.

Went to watch Red Cliff wif Bo and Kun at JP. It's a nice show if ya interested in 三国演义 or another plus point which Kun likes will be 林志玲. But this show is onli first part of the 2 parts movie. The arrival of the other part should be in Jan next year. Happy waiting...

Twice In A Row!

2008-07-17T21:33:00.002+08:00

No OTs in 2 days already. Believe they are preparing us for the battle next week after our road show at Civic Centre this Fri - Sun. Hope it will turn out smoothly and onli interest parties come to ask.

Will be learning something new (finally) tomorrow, at a deserted place like Tuas. How sad can it be. Heard from Suphan that this Thai guy, J or Jay, is very gay. Even Suphan dun know whether is he a gay or not. How "exciting" for me to find out. Wait for my further detailed report on this guy or izzit gal tomorrow!

Saturday Burnt

2008-07-16T21:02:00.002+08:00

Alrite, Civic Centre until 2200 this Saturday. Gonna promote our CNG company, thankfully this Saturday onli. Credits to Sharul who volunteered to swoop wif me, believe he wants the double pay on Sunday. Not for me as I would rather take a rest haha!

Now that my company has switched to a 5 1/2 days work week, felt sianz but at least a great news for me. I'm on duty onli for alternate Saturdays. My Operation Manager and I will be rotating to take charge of the garage. Ok so next Saturday I'm off, anybody dating me =p

Took a nap since I came back (today no OT!) but I'm sleepy again. Alrite shall see ya all soon then!

Bloody Cheena Man

2008-07-15T22:15:00.002+08:00

My bike came back wif damages, after he went to ta bao dinner for the rest of us. Was ok when he showed me he broke my bracket of my back light. But a poem of vulgarities came into my mind when...

Me: "我的脚车怎么了?!"
Po: "哦我骑的时候本来就这样，哪有什么怎样。"

I will never believe my bike is 本来就这样. Now that my gear cable is broken, how am I gonna travel on main road wif such turtle speed -.-"

End Of Holidays

2008-07-14T20:44:00.002+08:00

Ok back to my world of boringness. Had so much fun that I could not adapt to my usual life style. Pictures of my tour in Perth will be up but not so soon hehe. Alrite time to rest myself (even after sleeping for like 12 hours).

It's Finally Here!

2008-07-09T00:18:00.002+08:00

9th July 2008. The Perth date has finally arrived! A 5 days break for me, out from this stressful environment.

Always gek tio in my workshop. Seeing people throwing smoke grenades when problems arised or didn't even wanna lay a finger on it as they find it too difficult to solve. U must be wondering why am I so stupid to pick up shits left by them. Me myself have been wondering am I been used by them or izzit I'm too kind to be bullied. Actually I dun mind at all as it will onli benefit me in the end.

Now that me and Suphan is not around, shall see who's gonna grab these shits to wipe your face. Watch it man fatty!

Okie enough of that, hope I can tong the cold weather in Perth. Hope to see u beloved readers soon haha!

Shocker!

2008-07-07T21:34:00.006+08:00

Another call from my HR.

Susan: "Benjamin, when's your passport expiry date?"
Me: "Err next year June, why?"
Susan: "Are u ready to go oversea now? Maybe this week? I'll be sending u to Thailand for around one week for training."
Me: "Oh no, I'm on leave this Wednesday to next Monday, will be going to Perth."
Susan: "Oh then how about next Tuesday? I'll send u there next Tuesday."
Me: "Err ok. Am I going alone? Or is there anybody going wif me?"
Susan: "I'll send another person down wif u."
Me: "Oh ok can."
Susan: "So when's your passport expiry date?"
Me (-.-"): "Next year June."
Susan: "Ok can I'll keep u informed again."

Luckily going to Perth in 2 days time, if not I'll be packing my bag now. Not say reluctant to go, but I'm still the same old me, I dun like to entertain last minute "offer" like this!

Okie shall start packing a little!

Juz A Bit Odd...

2008-07-06T23:03:00.002+08:00

It has been some time since the 6 of us get together. The worrying thing for the 5 of us is to meet up wif GM. Not sure wad the rest will think of him but as far as I'm concerned, I hope that he will not try to dig out how my other frens are doing. How disappointing of me to think in such a way, after knowing each other for 9 years. Can onli wish him all the best and dun do foolish thing!

Went to change Aussie dollars, finally, at cow car water (Chinatown). Not so lucky as the Aussie dollars shoot up quite high, so my S$650 is onli equivalent to their A$493. 3 more days to our Perth trip, but places to go are not finalized yet. Hope our last minute homework will turn out to be fine haha! Felt remorseful as I told Al and Bo that I'll come out wif the itinerary. Do have some time even though I'm working like 6 days a week but juz didn't do it. Hope they 大发慈悲 and forgive me haha =p

Juz 3 more days and I'll be able to take a break, a big break.

The Stressful Yesterday

2008-07-06T13:36:00.002+08:00

Suphan went back to Chiang Mai for holidays and unfortunately, all problems are arising. More misfortunes kept coming up.

Firstly, seen this customer who came here 5 times, for the same old problem. Secondly, a car which was able to run on Friday night, couldn't even start the engine on Saturday morning. Wonder how and why this self-destruction took place.

Further things which left me more annoyed were the disappearance of my colleagues. All of us know there were probs but no one, yes no one is willing to lay a finger on it. This shows how much they depended on Suphan. Luckily Sharul came later to help out, unlike the one who chose to go test drive when customers came and another one who went back home bcoz the engine could not be started. Try asking for my help in future.

Went dry swimming (mahjonging) wif my parents last nite. Left wif almost nothing in the first 2 rounds but reoup back my lost in the last round. Well no money involved though haha!

All my Saturdays were spoilt and I shall enjoy my one and onli rest day of the week now!

Depleted...

2008-07-04T22:05:00.002+08:00

Cars came, all of a sudden. All return jobs, good job -.-" Still troubleshooting cars done by the other side.

Another challenge ahead of me. A return job coming tomorrow, a car which I calibrated last week. Wonder wad's wrong wif it.

My mental is not there anymore. Though my body is still strong, my mind juz keep telling me to stop working and take a break. Not that I dun like the job, but is the way the company is managing.

Ok shall stop spoiling all your Friday's mood. Yawnz...

One Person Makes Lots Of Difference

2008-07-03T21:45:00.003+08:00

Nob is enjoying his days wif his wife now, after spending 2 months working here. The funny and hardworking him has disappeared from our workshop now, and the place is no different from a cemetery. Some how felt how Kelvin feels when I ORD! Hor?

Now that we got lesser cars, the remaining group of us are not as productive. Morale is low as boss wanted the exhausted us to work OT everyday, but asked our manager to control our OT as well so that we wun get paid so much. How scheming can he be.

Wonder izzit Nob that causes this whole group to be so lifeless and bored since the start of this week. Or izzit that the company (or should I say the boss) is not paying wad they deserved. Haiz so political...

I'm not in a good shape either. Very tired even though I did the minimum but yet I got sleepless nights. Instead of opening my office doors at 0745, I woke up at 0745. Almost half of my colleagues were waiting for me all this while. All pushed the keys to me, so gotta see my face colour (脸色) then!

My First Pay

2008-07-02T21:13:00.001+08:00

Pay gonna come in tomorrow. Dun know how the hell they calculate it but juz hope they dun makan a bit from here and there. They are a LISTED company anyway -.-"

Kidnapped to the meeting today. Boss gave lots of prospects, which he claimed will benefit us if we work hard. There's indeed lots of opportunities, but I doubt he'll be that 大发慈悲 and increase our pay. In short, he's juz cheap skate.

Okie gonna rest to prepare myself for tomorrow's battle.

Shagged...

2008-07-01T21:06:00.003+08:00

Not sleeping well lately again. Some how some way the garage keys are wif me now, can't even sleep till 0730 now haiz...

Nob and O should be reaching Chiang Mai in another 2 hours or so. All the best to them and their families. Sad sad sad...

Ok incentive for today:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQYHKILXD4k

Alex left it on my Facebook. Enjoy!

Frens Are All Leaving :(

2008-06-30T23:46:00.003+08:00

Angel should be in the air by now, flying to London for her studies. All the best to her & hope she's coming back wif good grades.

Ate Popeyes Chicken at T3 wif Ben Sun & Melissa after work. Gathered wif Angel & her family for some drinks before bidding farewell. I'm still hungry though haha!

And for tomorrow, 2 of my Thai colleagues are leaving. Managed to exchange contacts wif them and took some photos. Haiz juz a short 3 weeks, but the sadness is there. I'm feeling guilty for not been a good guide to bring them around SG. Hope they dun see me as some unsincere pieces of dung.

They have been very patience and treated me well, as if I'm their brother. Was really touched by the way they showed great care of me. So far so good for the chicken to communicate wif the duck.

Bye Angel, bye Thais... Who's next?

Happening Weekend?

2008-06-29T23:25:00.005+08:00

Well how happening was it? Was troubleshooting the bloody Honda Airwave from Thursday to Saturday. It worked, finally and luckily.

Broke my mahjong record in Angel's house, juz after I left after my OT after OT Saturday. Wad record? Totally no win. Well doneded.

And so today, brought my 3 Thai colleagues to Vivocity, Bugis and then to Geylang wif Kun. It's sad to see 2 of them going back on 010708. So did have some fun today wif them.

Went on to meet Al at Central Mall at his favourite Starbucks. Kun asked a question, which he was questioned. Wad do u see yourself in 5 years time? And wad do u want in 5 years time? Sounds very the future but I cannot answer. Wad I can say is that I still feel lost haha! Well 走一步算一步吧！

And the Euro 08 is finally going to end soon, after the final between Germany and Spain later on. A difficult scoreline to predict as both sides have their key players out.

David Villa is confirmed out but Michael Ballack, who is in doubt, might be appearing in the final. Spain may find it hard to score wif the unlethal Fernando Torres will be starting as a lone striker, wif 5 midfielders in support, where Xavi Hernandez and Cesc Fabregas been the main men to disrupt the German defence.

Their opposition who is totally opposite, have a wealth of strikers in Miroslav Klose, Lukas Podolski and 3 more to break down a sturdy Spainish defence. The onli prob that Germany will face will be the forever conceding GK Jens Lehmann, whom he claimed that this new ball is hard to handle. Well so much for an experienced player like him. Ok, should blame the whole defence as well.

I believe the match will be brought into penalties after 1-1 in FT and scoreline remains even after both halves of extra time. I believe Spain will eventually turn out to be the winner, after 44 years.

Hmmmz...

2008-06-26T21:42:00.002+08:00

Hmmmz... Found a better opportunity from Glenn today. ST Electronics is paying a Associate Engineer for more than wad I'm getting now, and even higher upon accepted by my current company. Sounds good as I'm able to take part time degree next year. So how sia? Should I or should I not?

My boss came today, saying that I'm responsible for the cars which our side is doing. Any complaints from any customers, he'll juz grab me and ask why. Well for the unprofessional, not really trained and bad treatment to the workers, you can't expect much. Like wad Kun said, you pay peanuts to get monkeys.

Really lucky, happen to be online more often now and got such opportunities. Really appreciate the helps that all my frens rendered.

Time to think about it.

Loading in progress... =p

Am I That Bad?

2008-06-25T21:46:00.002+08:00

Hmmmz... No doubt that I dislike a lot of people, but I'm always tasked to do some bloody shiats wif them. Have been asking myself whether should I change by not judging them or should I juz have a "character" of my own and doing wad I feel like doing?

I'm not that young le, thinking of the above sometimes left me wondering izzit very childish of me. Shall let u peepz who know me to advise.

All these years, I've been wondering wad kinda person am I. All I know is that I'm juz a normal person. If any of the peepz on the streets were to approach me and ask me to tell me more about myself, I'll juz shy away...

Became so emo suddenly yeah?! Haha nitez!

The Car Ran Over My Foot -.-"

2008-06-24T21:28:00.002+08:00

Everything in my surrounding is so bloody. Bloody customers & bloody colleagues. Today's incident is an avoidable one. But sadly, I'm the victim...

I was so-called servicing my customer's car and out of nowhere, something heavy clipped onto the back of my foot. It was so painful for a moment and when I looked back, the tyre was on my foot and the rear door of the car is juz inches away from my back. Really dislike this fatty. Juz feel that he got attitude prob & no professionalism. Imagine accelerating like nobody's business. Imagine initial d-ing on the roads, juz hope he kena summon by the TP one of these days. Ok I'm bad... But really juz got irritated by him driving a car over my foot and he came out saying he thought he's able to squeeze thru. Wonderful stuff -.-"

Busy No Rest Day

2008-06-23T21:33:00.003+08:00

Monday blues... It's even bluerer when my so-called boss is on MC. Hope he's feeling better now.

Car, cars and more carss. Lack of manpower, equipments and knowledge. Some how some way, the responsibilities fell onto me. My shoulders were so heavy today. Luckily got frens from Tuas side to help awhile. Even though it's juz a short while, they did help quite a lot. Smiles flying from customers but not from me. Really irritated by the jobs done in the past. Well cannot blame them too, the management is not doing anything when they know wad probs we are having. Wonderful.

Anybody got part-time jobs can kindly contact me =p

Good day to Spain, who broke the trend by qualifying to the last 4 as a ex-group leader. 4 matches played in the Quarters, 3 went into extra time and a further 2 into penalties. Getting competitive for the remaning 4 teams.

Semis (my predictions)
Germany 2-1 Turkey
Russia 0-1 Spain

Any takers again? Hope it's not a world of underdogs...

迷路兵s 。。。

2008-06-22T22:51:00.003+08:00

Ate my last packet of beef instant noodle from Taiwan for lunch and finally got a printer for myself. Dun worry all u peepz out there as I will not be looking for u guyz anymore haha! Bought the 3-in-1 EPSON CX7300 PrinterScannerCopier from Sim Lim. Hey and u know wad, I've got free ink delivery service! Well doneded...

Ate prawn noodle at Tiong Bahru market. Saw this long queue so me & Al joined in the fun, juz to taste some ordinary noodle haha. Went threesoming at Labrador Park wif Al & Bo. And, our adventure begins......

Ever been to Hort Park? It's juz a mini version of Botanic Garden. Well not exactly as the trees are not that big, or I would say not many trees. They have smaller plants, some of which growing in a transparent containers. The plants survive by the vapour given out by themselves, as vapour is trapped inside these containers. An eye-opener for u huh?!

Proceeded to a sky bridge, which links from Kent Ridge Park to Hort Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park to Mount Faber and to Harbour Front. So we started from Hort Park, where Al parked his car. Walking along this sky bridge, we reached Telok Blangah Hill Park, where I fell off my bicycle & rotating 1 1/2 rounds at the foot, before. Keep walking and finally reached Mount Faber. Was so hot and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and jeans! Didn't hor lan though, juz that 4 idiots were looking at the map on which way to go.

Now to the crazy part. The car was parked at Hort Park, which in total around 3km (or izzit more) away and Al & Bo cannot really tahan le. So we went down to the foot of Mt. Faber, and... AND TOOK A CAB BACK TO HORT PARK! How wonderful, juz imagine. Shall go there again in the day, where my phone is able to take pictures haha.

Ok my Holland is packing up now after a 1-3 defeat to Russia. All 3 our of 4 group leaders have been kicked out by the runner-ups. So wad's Spain's destiny will be like against the Italians later on? I certainly believe Spain got the quality to outclass the old Italians. Wad I feel is that the Italians and French got squads whom are too experienced le, which I believe they are not suitable for high tempos matches or even tournaments like this. Time to re-shuffle dudes!

Time for another lifeless 6 days... 090708, I'm waiting!

Bloody Day...

2008-06-21T21:55:00.004+08:00

Bloody hell to all u customers who like to come during lunch time, during end of working hours & worst of all, ON A BLOODY SATURDAY! Oh and one more, coming without an appointment. Juz now got one, met 3 of the above 4 criterias, how wonderful...

He bloodily came at 1630, where I'll be knocking off at 1700. Did some bloody stuff & his car was bloody perfect. After he topped up the bloody gas, the bloody car became unstable & he bloody came back to us, again. It was 1700. Did some more bloody stuff & his car became more unstable, good job. Took us 4hrs to "destroy" his car & well, guess I'll be able to see him soon.

Bcoz of this bloody him, I'm stuck at home now. Or should I thank him for accepting this half f*** car, that's why I'm here blogging? Haiz...

Ok time to cool down...

Now to Euro, Turkey was really lucky to steal 3 straight victories in dying minutes. Do they have the luck to do it against the Germans? I believe not =) Russia will be taking on the hot favourites Holland later on, a 3-0 win for Holland will be enough =p

The ya ya papaya fella, Cristiano Ronaldo wanna leave Man Utd to Real Madrid, which he deemed to be a dream move. There's hardly any high prolific players moving out from Man Utd who can survive long. Juz use David Beckham & Ruud van Nistelrooy who both went to Real also. Ok I'm not in the position to say anything, good luck to u papaya...

Portugal Dumped Out

2008-06-20T21:34:00.002+08:00

Okay, no more Holland vs Portugal in the final, as wad I've predicted.

The Thais are leaving soon & I'm going to Tuas soon too... How sad... Will be a world wif those cheena peepz soon -.-"

Getting boring here yeah? Haha...

The Dirty TK!

2008-06-19T21:20:00.003+08:00

Haha there were no secret between our Thai colleagues. Kun wanna bring O to our red light district, found out from Nob today. So Kun, better dun talk bad behind me!

I really dun know how to blog already haha! Onli interesting thing for me at the moment will be converting a normal Toyota Vios to a CNG one. Good luck to me!

Last 8 at Euro le, very tempted to watch... Shall see how haha!

Wonderful Challenge!

2008-06-18T19:59:00.002+08:00

Happy 22nd Birthday to Al, raced ahead (among the 5, or izzit 6 of us) to be the first 22 years old man! Okie all the best for your pilot route in front of u!

Arrow, arrows & more arrowss... Acutally nothing much, juz some things which might increase my salary (believe not at the moment though).

Firstly, boss tasked me to be involve in a project. And now, my manager asked if I can convert a normal car into NGV. I accepted it straight and here comes 2 Camry and some other cars. Not bcoz all are waiting for me to convert, but coz boss was here in the morning, bringing in more jobs for us -.-" Getting more and more stressful each day...

Now to Euro... Holland reached the final 8 by winning all 3 qualifying matches wif 9 goals scored and conceded onli 1, after a 2-0 win over Romania wif their 2nd string players, how about that man! France continued their tradition from the last world cup by not winning any of those matches and they are packing up rite now. Believe their failure in big matches is due to their "golden players" still in the squad. Juz imagine a 36 years old chasing a 16 years old boy! Hope the current or the future Franch manager will be able to introduce new players into the squad, like wad Marco van Basten did to this Dutch squad. So for the match later into the morning, I'm hoping to see the former Euro Champion Greece, will fly back without getting a single point. Buck up Spain, I mean Spain Reserve!

Yawnz...

2008-06-17T20:29:00.002+08:00

Bloody didn't sleep well last nite. It was onli until 02:30am that I'm able to sleep. My colleagues were asking why am I looked tired this 2 days. Well I'm still as alert as ever, able to think and to point out mistakes, not bad huh!

Hmmmz this 2 days not that busy, wonder when the storm will come... again... Ok dun think so much first, 搞好project的一部分在讲。

Euro is getting exciting and after much analysis, I believe Holland will meet Portugal in the Final. Any takers?

Stunned!

2008-06-16T21:09:00.002+08:00

Susan (HR): "Benjamin ar, Mr Lim (big boss) is on the way to Penjuru to pick u up to see a customer. Get ready & be prepared in 15mins time."

Wad a bloody stunt early in my sleepy morning. My gan jiong spider HR called and said that to me. I dun know wad to prepare and how to prepare, juz awaiting for D-Day. In the end, Mr Lim juz wanted me to expose more to customers and also to be involved in his new project. I've got no idea on how to start but I believe I can still make it in the end.

1 week into my company le, waking up later and later in the morning, but still punctual though. Unlike TK who reach JP late and missed the company bus, which resulted in taking 250 (taxi) haha!

Ok jokes aside, I shall venture into my new project...

Oh yeah, one of the BEST GK in the world Petr Cech conceded 3 goals in the last 15mins. He assisted well by plucking the ball from the air to the foot of Nihat whom smashed the ball into the back of the net. 1st goal should be his weak judgement, 2nd as above & 3rd goal, great finish from Nihat!

End Of Freedom...

2008-06-15T22:20:00.002+08:00

Ok going back to my so-called no life again...

U might be asking izzit I'm not interested in the job, no, it's not. The system itself is very interesting and my current working environment is still quite ok. Onli sad thing is OTing everyday. Although the money is there, I would still prefer some time of my own, be it sleeping or slacking, juz wanna relax. Ok shouldn't be complaining as I chose the job!

How bored am I? Received a call from Melissa last night (last minute) to play mahjong at Angel's house, I asked wad time and confirm my seat immediately haha! Lost around 20 in the end but was happy chatting wif them. Good to see them doing well and also changing for the better. They really surprised me. Well we will grow one day, but not me at the moment haha...

Went F&E at town today wif Kelvin. Bought the Braun Buffel wallet I really liked at last. Was considering it the whole afternoon walking up and down the whole Orchard. Bought it at quite a special price S$100.10 (after 10% discount and also w/o 7% GST). Why did I took so long to make up my mind? Coz Al bought the Pierre Cardin (~S$77) wallet which I also like (coz it's cheaper!). So in order for me not to clash wif him, decided to buy my 1st choice!

Did a few stunts today which I felt I irritated/angered Kelvin haha! Hope u dun mind lahz HOR...

If tomorrow never comes......

It's A Friday?

2008-06-13T21:06:00.003+08:00

It's not a mistake. It's a Friday today, indeed. Suddenly my Friday became so meaningless haha! Ok lahz at least not that bad, I'm paid! My 2hrs of OT can cover my one whole week of lunch!

Found some motivation in my work from the Thai guyz. Joking, laughing, playing and everything haha. They really gif and dun take de. All they are asking for is to finish their term here, and to reunite wif their families in Chiang Mai. Alrite, 2 frens will be gone soon...

Lucky moment for the day will be escaping the carpark attendant marginally during lunch. Ate our lunch at West Coast and after I finish my coffee, someone shouted "summon"! Ran straight to our customer's car (oops) we drove out for drive test and to see that Malay auntie one car away from ours. *Phew

Oh well, heard the Singaporeans are kiasuing over the NDP tix again. The army is lacking of regulars, maybe they can sign on and defend the country. I'll be a coward and get my passport stamped when anything happens!

Hmmmz, tempted to watch Holland vs France later in the morning... Should I or should I not haha!

。。。

2008-06-12T22:04:00.003+08:00

哈哈，我不知道该怎么blog了。除了sianz, 还是sianz。。。

看到顾客的脸，真不懂该怎么“保护”我的公司。看到我这的泰国人做到要死要活，工钱不只没准时发给他们，还不准时交房租。害得他们每个月都被房东骂，有时还差一点被赶走。在这人生地不熟的国家，吃的喝的什么都很贵，不准时发工钱给他们真的是很缺德。现在好咯，每个都想回泰国，每人做工了，爽了吧。

也许你们觉得我生气是多余的，可是如果你是我，每天看他们做牛做马都不发牢骚，那你就懂我现在的心情了。他们都已有家庭了，整天都很挂念他们的妻子和孩子。有空没空他们都会讲起他们在泰国的快乐日子。

好了，又是睡觉的时间了，晚安。。。

救命啊！！！

2008-06-11T21:10:00.003+08:00

真的好烦哦。。。另外一边做不好的工，要我们这边来收拾烂摊子。我无话可说了。

在这只作了三天，就觉得我公司有一点不professional，办事能力也不怎样。我来了三天，有几个客户都已经来我们这“拜访”两次了！明天还有一个回来第三天。不知道我接下来的日子会是怎么样。

今天大老板要我学新的东西，实在是太简单了。我的Operation Manager觉得很浪费，叫我有空才去学。听了也很高兴，因为我满喜欢现在在做的事。

有过了另外一个no life的生活。。。

Lucky Day...

2008-06-10T21:11:00.003+08:00

Haha 2nd day of work and felt so lucky. Firstly, not many return jobs. Secondly, got a pro in teaching me more stuff. Thirdly, managed to tune one car!

Started the day wif a little scare. Woke up late after sleeping so early yesterday! Took my bike, I mean bicycle, & chiong to work. Actually not late ba, supposed to start work at 0815 but punched card at 0750.

So work & work, learn & learn. Equipped myself wif lots of and I'll be alone and so-called assessed tomorrow. Still stressed about the job I'll be taking but it's actually quite fun, seeing my China and Thai colleagues, though not communicating wif a common language, they still manage to figure out wad the opposition is trying to say. Thumbs up for them!

Well my post is gonna get boring haha. Shall post interesting encounters in my work place in the near future.

Cheers to all Holland fans like me... Holland 3-0 Italy! France is up next, but I'm expecting a 1-1 draw this time.

Hmmmz... Sky so red, wind so strong... Gonna be 世界末日 soon haha!

累死我了。。。

2008-06-09T20:52:00.002+08:00

Didn't sleep well last nite but luckily my fever is goneded...

Was so funny early in the morning while waiting for the company bus. Kun and I were afraid that we went to the wrong place, but to our luck, we met a Thai wearing our company's uniform. Chatted wif this kind guy and he even bothered to let us know more about the company. But the funny part was, we were doubting him whether was that the place to wait for the bus. And when the bus came, those bloody employees juz chiong out out of nowhere, bloody campers.

Was lucky to be posted to Penjuru branch so that I can happily cycle to work everyday. Tough lucky for Kun, who will enjoy his trip all the way to JP and all the way into Tuas.

Life's not that good here in Penjuru as there are onli 3 superviors who are working. The rest of the cheena guyz are juz waiting for things to happen. Worst news was that my so-called Thai upper-study, is leaving for Chiang Mai at the end of the month. Another guy who is working same kind as me, is leaving for Thailand at the end of the month too. This left me no choice but to fill up 2 vacancies left by them.

Really very suay, in army like that, outside world also like that. 我的命真苦啊。。。 Ok lahz really sleepy le. Nitez all!

Hey not all, my Perth trip is gonna extend by another day!

Major Change In Life

2008-06-08T23:44:00.002+08:00

It's finally here... I've finally officially ORD-ed and I'm starting work tomorrow. C'est la vie...

Hasn't been feeling well since the sudden change in weather, hope my body will wake up it's idea by tomorrow. Hope I'll have some little time in the future to update my daily life haha. So for now, take care all of u... I'll miss Euro =(

My Pinky Found It's Way Home, Finally...

2008-06-06T23:50:00.003+08:00

Alrite, today marks the end of my army life. Those leaving the service are shouting ORD LOH, but does they know in actual fact, we are so-called "applicable" to be recalled upon war time? Or are they juz shouting it bcoz it's a so-called tradition to make our understudies jealous? Well each of us will go thru this cycle, so there's no point for me to do all these.

Left the camp wif a heavy heart. Although the Unit itself is not that well organised, many of the peepz around me are fantastic. Seriously speaking, if not for the chaotic change of the system now in my ex-Unit, I might consider extending haha! But too bad that's not the case and I'm starting work on Monday.

Back to the fantastic peepz around. Actually there are lots of peepz I would like to thank, but I couldn't bring myself forward to them, was quite emo when they shook my hand. In the end, left without leaving any "speech" or email. Gone were the days, work/play/eat/tuang wif the rest of u. Hope I can be forgotten by u guyz haha.

Was actually quite pleased to hear from Jing Long that the rest of my guyz respect me. A bit 夸张 that he said that they treat me as a god to pray. Well wad needs to be done has to be done, and little did he know that I do so much is bcoz to get pass the time faster. During his conversation, he also spoke about our guyz are still not that competent enough, which really left me thinking whether am I the one who didn't pass down well. I cannot say I dun care, even at this point of time, coz I feel that I did so much that I couldn't let go of the job, and was still helping the others before I left. And if I really say I dun care, it also means that I really didn't do a good job in handing over of my jobs. I couldn't find any faults in me, or did I bypass it? I dun know but when I was handing over my jobs to the others, I did repeat at least twice, excluding the number of times they asked me over and over. The responsibilities were so heavy on my shoulders that I didn't even make my life easy by telling them to call SMC hotline themselves. Haha so shall leave this paragraph for u guyz to judge.

Received a shirt (all thanx to 小公主, but too bad no element of surprise le haha!) from some of them. Bade farewell to many and left the camp. On my way out, CPT Tan & CPT Ang saw me walking out and offered me a ride to Boon Lay. Was so lucky haha! So got back home ate my beef noodle, 绿豆糕 & 太阳饼 (from 小公主) and also 2 ba zang from my mum. The 绿豆糕 was the high point but sadly, the standard of the ba zang my mum made, dropped. No matter wad will still finish it all haha! Got 18 specially made (no mushroom) for me to clear!

Celebrated wif 小公主 at Vivo's Kim Gary. Good thing was we reached early and got a table almost immediately. We ordered Beef & Pork Cheese Baked Rice but find that the Pork one was so much better. Ordered set meals so it came wif soups (or izzit creams haha!) and 2 鸳鸯. I highly recommend both the Pork Cheese Baked Rice and a cup of 鸳鸯 if ya gonna eat there (the best so far among all HK Restaurants).

Went gai gai for some stuff again, this time round specially for a wallet, but empty handed back again haha. Hope I'll have some time before the GSS ends and go grab wadever I can find!

哈哈小公主不舍得离开我，在我家附近的巴士车站聊了很久。快乐时光总是这么快就过！下一个不懂几时再见了！

Shocked Day...

2008-06-05T23:15:00.002+08:00

Starting work next Monday, shocking news after I woke up. Well nvm, spent a lot during this 2 months.

Yeah I'm still here, not booking in le, and my 小公主 too. How sad won't be having a heart to heart talk wif him haha! Well there's always another time. 来，uncle 请你喝 kopi!

My long lost pinky is finally coming back to me but, rite at this moment, I'm still feeling the same. Dun ask me why, juz feeling the same. So I have to move on from now onwards, woking immediately the day after I officially ORD. Luckily for me, lull for 3 weeks (on leaves/offs) before working if not I sure sianz diaoz de...

Dun know whether should I gif them a treat tml but guess most likely won't haha! See how lahz, will bring more money.

My post is very messy today, so shall stop here before it gets worse.

I Went To Mars Today!

2008-06-04T23:44:00.004+08:00

Oh well, wonderful today. Ate breakfast wif Kun in the morning and brought the interested him to Winchester's dad's company.

He did asked lots of questions which really impressed the stupid me. Sad thing was the boss could not assure him of any position during the interview, which really makes me guilty, really really guilty. He was also afraid that he will 上贼船，but if he really didn't get the position which I told him days before, I'll seriously blame myself forever. The road is still wide in front of us, so really hope that we do make it and perform to our max. 加油咯!

So met Al in the late noon for lunch at JE and both of them accompanied me to IMM to re-contract my mobile plan, finally. Got the NSF plan and a new SE W890i phone. Was so malu lor. Saw (but not careful enough) on that promotion board was juz S$98, but in actual fact was S$198. The S$98 price onli applies for a S$100 trade in phone. And I asked (wif my finger pointing to the promotion) the sales person why izzit S$148 (after trading in my k700i for S$50). He replied politely coz it's onli applicable wif a trade in phone which worth S$100. Ok I know u guyz are not going to fren me anymore coz u got a malu fren...

So went to MARS, I mean library after that. All the aliens (books) were stacked, but not nicely on the shelves. Stayed there for quite some time, juz to find out how empty I am haha! Listening to wad Al and Kun were talking but can hardly catch any ball, yes hardly.

Ate duck rice and a cup of coffee (the Hor fella gonna say I uncle again) for dinner at a ko pi tiam nearby. The coffee does taste good! Not too bad for the duck rice, carrot cake and chicken wing. An Indian approached Al for directions, showing us a map of Johor Bahru. Wad I can say is that he really hollanded so far that he's able to navigate in SG wif a JB map, both thumbs up for u bunk...

Something from Kun:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqPfZV5e9Sk

Ok time to relax... Dun think too much!

Route March...

2008-06-03T23:50:00.002+08:00

Well well well... Long time since I've walked for such a long distance. From Orchard to Bugis to Suntec & Marina Square. Yes did went gai gai, but, bought nothing buahahaha... 好怀念上次和小公主在台湾逛街哦!

So woke up and met Kelvinnn at Bukit Batok for lunch. Ate hokkien mee and the taste was rite. Onli sad thing was not enough egg haha! So proceeded to the start point of our route march at Orchard. Did saw a few pieces of shirts I like but well, either no size or I look a bit 奇怪 wearing it. Well there's always another day for shopping.

Ate my favourite hor fun at Al's (I mean near his house haha) ko pi tiam plus a dish of bai guk ong. It still taste the best (so far) I've eaten, hope it didn't disappoint Kelvin!

So stayed at the ko pi tiam and chatted wif Al and Kun. Spent some time discussing about jobs (well we do care for each other =p) and hope we can find one suitable one soon! Good luck everybody!

Yes, I Did Watched My Own Country Crushed To A 3-7 Defeat!

2008-06-02T22:26:00.003+08:00

Singapore 3-7 Uzbekistan

Really surprising in this World Cup qualifying match. SG did play well, onli in the opening 5 mins and self-destruction kicked in. The defence was so bloody weak and the GK got no protection at all. Actually he didn't perform either, his performance was way below par, believe he has past his prime le. Ok that's it for something u guyz will find it weird that I catched!

Spent my whole day at, can I say the company out haha! Guess wad, I hollanded in some area. Took a bus to that locality juz to realise that the company is juz within my house walking distance haha! Really thank Winchester for this opportunity but I shall make a careful consideration before committing! So this is how I wasted, no, learnt something new for the whole day before returning home for dinner and watch...

Ok today is gone, shall enjoy my tomorrow wif my 小公主!

Tiring Day

2008-06-01T23:46:00.002+08:00

Let's see... Didn't do anything much today but felt so tired.

Celebrated my mum's bdae by having a dinner at a ko pi tiam & went to Kun's house straight after that. Played some Fifa on his XBox and went supper together wif Al.

That's it and I'm feeling tired. Going down to my fren's dad's company to see tml morning since it came knocking on my door.

Sleep le... Nitez all!

Sunday... How Sunny Can It Be?!

2008-06-01T00:27:00.002+08:00

Haha drizzled almost the whole day & played mahjong wif my parents again. Lost again. Chips onli no money buahahaha!

A surprise call from Winchester, who yet again offered a place to me in his company, after learning that I didn't manage to get into any of the Unis. Shall open up my options this time by going to his, I mean his dad's workshop to see see look look.

Went gai gai wif Al & Bo at IMM. Went to eat at this Streets Restaurant which serve HK Cuisine. Ate a plate of Portuguese Chicken Baked Cheese Rice & a cup of 鸳鸯. Plus 2 more side dishes in Pork Buns & some toasted bread. Not that fantastic but ok lahz. So I think u guyz wanna ask wad's the difference between normal chicks and chicks from Portugal. Haha literally no diff lahz! Juz the cooking style ba I believe.

So window shopped for awhile and went to the Starhub shop, took a queue number and later on, returned and cancelled it. Coz onli after I took the number then we saw the trade in phones. My k700i still got value (S$50) after 4 years! Too bad I got pics in my phone which are yet to be transferred to my laptop, so shall visit the shop again another day!

Went pooling at West Coast RC again. Al & Bo are really wondering how they managed to lose to me haha! Was really shooting birds today but didn't lose badly! Thanx for so encouraging Broz, believe u all let water haha!

Yet Another Wonderful Dinner!

2008-05-30T23:00:00.002+08:00

Okie, as per title. Ate Satay Bee Hoon & 汤圆豆花 wif a cup of sugar cane juice at Bukit Timah Hawker wif 小公主 juz now. Everything were 赞! Those who are going can ask me along buahahaha!

天不作美, went gai gai for his "cakes" and it rained while he was choosing the muffins. How coincidence izzit haiz... So hang around that area for awhile while waiting for the bloody rain to stop. It stop eventually & surprisingly. It didn't catch me on my way home either, so lucky...

Chatted wif Jia Hao, and found out that something's not going to be rite in the branch again. Oh well, dun care haha!

This will conclude my yet another boring day...

"Spring Cleaning"

2008-05-29T22:16:00.003+08:00

Haha guess wad... Woke up eat lunch play wif hamsters and did some house-keeping.

Packed my clothes in my cupboard and found out that actually I got lots of clothes, but I dun normally wear them haha. Some white ones even have yellow spots on it, OMG! All my army stuff, were all boxed up. While I was packing up, was thinking how it will be like in the future when doing my reservist. Looking at those lao jiao doing their reservist in the past one year, didn't hear any of them complaining tough or wad so ever. Or maybe my ears are not sharp enough.

Looking back into my army days. Was so glued wif my whole platoon during my BMT, but guess wad, we didn't really contact each other since we held a chalet after we passed out from BMT. So sad for the times that we went thru together, suffer together, in the end, all became strangers. How sad life can be!

Went to OCS and onli able to communicate well within my own section onli. Why? A lot of other people out there were so selfish. Imagine sections between a platoon could not gel up well. A lot of them out there thought that there are officers already, and start pushing shit works around.

Now that I'm an OOC-nee, wrong, a MAN, that I found out trainees are all stupid, haha! Started working in the HQ a year ago, did manage to know a few people, but those who can be trusted were those in my branch. From a mountain turtle to someone useful to the unit (hopefully =p), all credits to Zhi Yong (especially), Yong Khean, Wesley, Yi Wei, Jin Fu, Jia Jie, Sam, Joseph.

Zhi Yong was the one who really took great care of me. As a stranger to this HQ, he was the one who accompanied me when I was lonely, telling me stories from everywhere. I really took a long time to be able to accept the life in this HQ. I juz find it weird to be in such a working environment and it really took me half a year to be settled down. Whenever I can, I will drown myself wif tons of works. How sad rite haha!

Where's the Yung fella?! Haha a man full of wisdom, coffee and cigarettes. Learnt a lot about life from him, which at least made me dun feel so bored about life in this world. He's really a very organised, responsible and knowledgeable guy. Took great care of us and also not forgetting the time we worked till 0300! Will remember your coffee forever haha!

Got closer to Wesley (a east boy named Wesley) after Zhi Yong ORDed. Well he disliked me at first! Till now I really have no idea how come I suddenly so gum wif him. He can't sort out any reason as well. Maybe is the audit thingy ba. So for these 3 months, got close wif this lame fella. Too bad he's a stay out personnel bcoz of "exams" huh... Well a lame interesting guy who juz kept coming into my branch to tuang and chit-chat.

Both my bosses, JF and YW were juz totally different from others haha. Really had fun working under them. No matter how many times I did something wrong, I'll get enough time to learn. Well it's great for a stupid person like me buahahaha! Hope they can be some big bosses out there so that they can employ me!

JJ and Sam were knowledgeable and workaholic. They can answer wadever u asked. See how good their customer services were. They were also few of the most tolerance people around. Accepting my slow work rate and stupidity!

Another outsider in Joseph who also tried to gel me up wif the rest of the HQ personnels. Bloody drinker and smoker, dun know when he'll die!

Thanx a lot to those who helped me in such a working environment too!

Of course not forgetting Kelvin who came in in my later part of my army life. Sadly my time wif him is not that much. He's such a cute and fun-loving guy haha! So wad if time is short, we can always meet outside! Better rite! One of the best fren in army and hope in time to come too?

And let's welcome Al who at least came back in a piece after so much that had happened. Consoling isn't my good aspect and had a hard time trying to in MSN. Hope I didn't fail badly and hope he wun feel that I'm irritating haha! So good luck for ya outcome tml...

Wonderful duck rice dinner tonite!

Wad A Nite!

2008-05-29T00:35:00.005+08:00

Backie... From Chevron KTV. 快乐的日子总是这么快就过。。。 Really missed our JT time! Good to see Angel coming back from London and she's gonna leave again end of next month. At least she's gonna get a piece of paper which I'm not sure I'll be getting. Good luck for u guyz who got it!

Was really a *phew* that I did not 走音! Did quite well today buahahaha! Satisfactory for someone who hasn't been singing for like a year or so.

One major surprise will be Lisa, who got herself a new bf after she broke up wif her 4 years old Ben Sun last year. I can comment on nothing, but her bf (Edmund?) did sing well.

Not to forget Mel for treating too (又欠人情了)! Was so funny when she was talking about her boyfwen buahahahaha!

Our poor Al, whose travelling wif Tiger for the first time, lost his wallet and got onli 50cents wif him since evening till tomorrow afternoon. How careless can u be man! Tried calling the bloody urgent hotline yet nobody was there to pick up, wad's the point of the URGENT hotline then?! Really couldn't think of anything which are able to help him, so good luck Bro. Tell me the feeling of sleeping in the airport when ya back tomorrow!

Shall go kill some people now...

Finalising On Perth Trip

2008-05-27T22:49:00.003+08:00

Ok great improvement. From no started kit to wad I'll say somehow completed homework for our Perth trip. Good job broz!

So wad we are left wif is onli the hotel to stay during our last nite in Perth. Dun worry as I've already got a few lobangs, thanx to a great website spotted by me. So the other thing which is not that urgent will be places to go. Dun worry as well, a package is gonna be done up by me, latest by 290508. Trust me!

Okie so nothing much for today. Except for my poor 小公主 suffering in camp. So how Friday?

Angel is back from US, or izzit UK haha, so will be singing at Chevron tomorrow nite. Now really doubt I can sing well tomorrow.

And not to forget my dear Bro going to KL tomorrow, Al, 一路顺风！

Wad A Headache!

2008-05-26T22:09:00.003+08:00

Going for a trip like Perth isn't easy! Was finalising the places to visit so that Al can effectively change hotels or wad so ever to make our trip more interesting. But till now, I still haven't send my "proposal" to them yet haha.

Was suppose to wake up early to do some research on it so that by this time, I can send out an email on some places we can visit not onli in Perth City but also places like Margaret River or Rottnest Island. Well I've decided to strike out Rottnest Island as one of our destination as it really can burn our pockets.

Let me juz roughly type out wad I've found out. A Bike Package to Rottnest cost A$94 and meals not included. Wad this package includes is awesome! A return ferry ticket, a bike and that's it! Another thing is that the ferry services start onli at 0845 and last ferry will leave the island at 1600. Was thinking that staying overnight is inevitable to enjoy more in this island but guess wad, the price for the hotel is also up lorry one. Did a rough calculation, at least A$200 is needed to enjoy there, so OUT!

Didn't manage to source out any great deals but at least found some places which sounded quite interesting (Al & Bo should know wad I mean rite =p).

Some lessons learnt. Never book anything without any planning! If not will be like us picking up pieces from everywhere. Good luck to us!

Refreshing Day

2008-05-26T00:42:00.002+08:00

Ok too late for a post to be dated it's supposed to be. Well who cares.

Juz came back from Central Mall after confirming details on my Perth trip in July. My dream to Australia still comes true! (for the 2 peepz, Hor & Al for laughing at my Aus-Thai-Msia) Will be going wif Al & Bo for 4D3N. Till now, onli the air tix and hotel were booked (total of S$780 liaoz). Car rental and places of interest are yet to be decided. So our purpose going there was to find out as much as we can, so that we can report back to Bo for further confirmation. Al & Bo, believe me, I will work hard to make this a wonderful trip. I will make every of our single cent worth it! (I believe Al should have come out wif a plan already haha)

So wad's for today? Woke up met my 小公主 at Bukit Batok for lunch (and passed him something he can't stand smelling buahahaha). And guess wad, he's still coughing after 1 month? Really dun know how to take care of himself, how ya gonna take care of ya partner next time! The lor mee was special, no, I should say the lor mee juice is special. Tasted like the owner added 叉烧浆 in which makes it so nice. Anybody drooling? Figure out the way there yourself then =p

Went to West Mall after that coz we were juz too free. Wanted to sign the Student/NSF plan but still unsure of the status of the transfer of ownership. Called 1633 but too bad, no fate wif that bloody one. Think Starhub didn't pay them enough to work on weekends. Well nvm, treat it as they gif me the time to think through wad phone I should get.

Went on to search for cakes wif Hor Hor for his fren's bdae (Hor Hor was really very sincere, u lucky fren of his, u really very lucky!). Moved on to IMM (since the GSS has already started) but bought nothing haha. Nothing really suit our taste (or onli mine?) so decided to eat something light. Saw the Tan fella in IMM too. Headed back home after finish 逛ing the building.

Sad thing could not help Kelvinnn wif the cookies. Was ashamed wif myself for bringing such a high hope for him yet in the end...

Time for dinner (haha such a sudden change from the above topic) and met Al, for his dinner and my drink. Then off we go to Central Mall. Refer to the above again for the reason & wad we did.

Come to think of it, today is a very caffeine day. Drank coffee for lunch, and before dinner. Drank tea (tea contains more caffeine than coffee) after dinner and java chips for supper. But too bad I still can sleep! Nitez all!

01 Day Lobster + Firefly Tour (Malaysia)

2008-05-24T22:56:00.013+08:00

Ok I'm tired and I'm back. Woke up at 5 this morning, sleeping before midnight the night before. Believe will be waking up onli in the noon tomorrow? *yawnz*

Will onli touch on things during the trip today so see if ya got the time to read it all!

Morning:
- Reached Golden Mile Complex, juz to find out that the agency is so the bloody disorganised -.-" [gek tio no.1] Queuing up to get the neccessary documents were done inside 5 Stars which was so cramped (not as if they need the computer to work on).
- The gangsterous staff [gek tio no.2] finally confirmed the number of peepz going and set off to Tuas 2nd Link.
- Got pass the custom and finally got to a local coffee shop to have our unpaid breakfast. Ate 云吞面 & roti prata plus curry wif mutton. For the 云吞面, the 导游 was praising it on the bus. But in fact, onli the 面 is nice coz of the Q-ness. The 云吞 & sauce is alrite onli. Wad I'll really recommend is the roti prata, especially when dip wif the curry plus a piece of mutton. 真是天衣无缝! Up level for my morning!

Queen Park Restoran, the local coffee shop where we had breakfast.

Some local tibits in a shop next to the restoran called Mr Sotong.

Afternoon:

- Travelled 2hrs to 四弯岛 to eat our Lobster lunch. Well it's not a 岛 at all. Way back into our grandparents' time, this place was in between a sea and forest. In order for the locals to get to other places, they had to pass through this thick forest, which was very inconvenient, and in the end u find no roads to travel on. So for example, in order for them to buy groceries, they would choose to take a boat to Singapore to buy. For women giving birth, they either gif birth in SG (if time permits) or to dial for the midwife. Therefore there are a lot of Singaporeans living there. And why izzit called 四弯? Is bcoz there are a total of 九个弯 in that area (when this place became more urbanised) and this place is located at 第四个弯! How lame u must be wondering. Ok so the 土产 here is the 老婆并 & the maltose. Once again, the 导游 said it's very nice. After trying, I dun feel anything special. So from this moment on, I've decided not to listen to the bull shiats from the 导游 anymore (Kelvinnn must be saying I 难伺候 again)! Ate the Lobster lunch and the taste is so-so onli. Not that bad but not up enough =)
- Went to this Ostrich Farm & knew quite a bit on these fast-running birds.

Well, it's very lok kok.

The male (standing), juz finish mating wif one of his females.
Was too late to capture him on top of her (sitting).

Differentiate the male & the female. (sorry pic not clear)
Male usually put lipstick before going out =p

See the featherless butt. The are changing new feathers while growing.
(This fella nearer to us, pecked on my shoulder -.-")

Look at how big one ostrich egg is.

It can cover up to 3/4 of her face!

One egg can hold up to 100kg of weight!

Lucky eggs like this will hatch into baby ostrich.
Unlucky ones will become:
And then on a frying pan.
How many normal eggs will make up a york like this?

Empty shells made into lamp like the above.

Ostrich feather dusters.
The small black one cost RM27!

Ok no doubt, I did try the ostrich meat satay.
Not that tasty. Chicken satay will be better.

Not that tasty bcoz of her skills not there yet? =p

- Went to a Fruit Farm [gek tio no.3] after the ostrich tour. Well juz a boring trip, walking and seeing fruits. Ok juz say I dun know how to 欣赏。 The onli thing I like is the passion fruit drink (Al, never seen and tasted a passion fruit rite!). The 苦中带甜 feeling is juz so nice! Oh and also some animals like 小羊，小猴，小鸟，小鸭，小鸡，小兔 are available to play wif (dun ask me why there are such animals there).

Evening:
- Enjoyed the food in this restaurant (forgot the name) at Kota Tinggi. Feel particulary sad for this mum (who was really a very nice person) who didn't manage to eat during lunch bcoz of her young little gal who 闹情绪。 This little gal made a new fren (another little gal, who got quite a pretty mum, oops =p) at the fruit farm while feeding the 小羊, and was looking for her new mate throughout the dinner. Her mum ate onli when 1/2 of the food served, were finished by the peepz on our table (saved prawns, tofu and chicken for her, but been eaten up by some 不自动 peepz. [gek tio no.4]). How sad that her husband abandoned them for this trip! (well, he was tied up by something hehe)
- Finished dinner and waited & waited for the sun to set so that we can take the boat to see the flies wif lights, I mean fireflies. So we waited and waited, waited and waited, waited and waited [gek tio no.5]. Finally our Mr Sun decided to go for a long break and we boarded the speed boat to see the fireflies. Some "fascinating" stuff along the way. Whenever there were lights, they will shout "firefly" [gek tio no.6]. -.-" Imagine some one pointed to the aeroplane and shouted "FIREFLY". That's really a OMG. Sometimes when there were lights behind the trees, and as the boat was moving, they will say "firefly", coz it was blinking. There's also someone who saw a shooting star, luckily she didn't say it was a firefly. But for that 1-2 bloody minutes, she turned to her bf and said "你有没有看到，是shooting star leh!" [gek tio no.7]. Haiz, my mind was juz thinking "哇你到底有完没完地, not that u can show the replay of that shooting star to your bf". 真得很烦阿。。。
- Finally transferred to the custom and the kind driver alighted some of us at Tang Dynasty.

Okie so this concludes my 07 x gek tio trip in Malaysia. Credits to my 5 years old SE k700i camera phone for all these low quality photos for u guyz to 大开眼见! My parents for this gek tio trip. 小雪导游 for her 流利 description on the trip. Driver Alvin for the safe trip. And of course the wonderful peepz on the same bus/boat for geking me. Well that's it! Nitez!

Tired, tired day...

2008-05-23T20:45:00.003+08:00

Tired tired tired... Do nothing yet tired. Alrite was awake last nite till now, so 24hrs without sleep. Wad I did throughout the nite? Managed to bring my Liverpool to 4th in EPL and no cups at all. My fate ended juz like that. Well, 东家不打，那就打西家咯！

Went to Vivo (finally) to take over the ownership of my current mobile line so that I can sign the Student/NSF plan. And guess wad, it has been so long that I shop wif my mum! Well saw a few polo t-shirts which I liked in Esprit (Kelvinnn must be smiling now). GSS has juz started but is still around 40 per piece, so I shall let it off for now (maybe someone can offer some discount =p). Went to the hawker opposite for lunch. Ate hokkien mee (someone wanna bring me to eat Hor?) and bamboo juice.

Came back home and Al said that Yew's not joining us for the trip to Koh Samui anymore (was actually thinking straight to go Perth wif such opportunity =p). So called Bo and ask for his decision. Typing about this, he haven't reply hor. Offer last till Sunday onli! Yeah that's rite, the S$59.99 (excluding taxes) from Tiger promotion will onli last till this Sunday 250508! Shall sms him again. So managed to "broke" my router's firewall and host CS fighting along side wif Al. Long time didn't play, kena shocked a few times (Al will be wondering why I suddenly anyhow turn & anyhow shoot -.-").

And now to my dear Hor Hor. He thought he was in the stealth mode but, u should know lahz ar! How sotong can he be! Well, he knows I cannot understand Cantonese and he went to search a HK drama in 国语 for me. How 感动！为了你的心血，我一定会把这部drama给看完地！

Oh almost forgot, something has been added in my blog. None other than music! 不听歌，不是好人！ I think this song will stay quite long haha. Dun expect me to change it so soon! For IE users, juz make sure u accept the Active X thingy that will prompt u. And for Firefox users, like me, please install a plugin called MediaWrap and make sure it's enabled so that u can hear the song!

Okie, time for me to do a little bag-packing for tomorrow's trip to our neighbour up north!

Congrates to Manchester United

2008-05-22T22:05:00.005+08:00

Wad a morning! Was telling Al before the match that I felt that the match will eventually go into Penalties and indeed, the match went into sudden death. Well both sides were quite unfortunate not to score some goals which may ended up as 3-3 rather than 1-1. Believe most of us watched the match so full commentary will not be publish here!

Some critical/lucky moments of the match:
01) Michael Carrick's quite open goal (ball directed out by John Terry)
02) Ryan Giggs' quite open goal (ball headed out by John Terry, yet again)
03) Didier Drogba's ball hit the post
04) Frank Lampard's ball hit the woodwork
05) Some throw-ins and corners awarded wrongly by the referee
06) Sending-off of the unprofessional Didier Drogba for slapping Nemanja Vidic on the face (a fine should be imposed on top of the sent-off for this kinda stupidity)
07) Man Utd's 3rd penalty taken by Cristiano Ronaldo saved by Petr Cech
08) Chelsea's 5th and decisive penalty taken by skipper John Terry who slipped and sent the ball wide of the post
09) Chelsea's 7th sudden death penalty taken by Nicolas Anelka was well guessed and punched away by Edwin Van der Sar sent the fans in reds roared in the stadium, and those who watched at home too

The aftermath:
Broz
01) Al & Bo still jumping around! =p

Manchester United
01) Future of Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville & Edwin Van der Sar? To carry on playing, coaching or retirement from soccer?
02) Cristiano Ronaldo to join Real Madrid?
03) Fringe senior players like Wes Brown, Mikael Silvestre, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher, Park Ji Sung & Louis Saha to leave for first team football?
04) Alex Ferguson to bring in more influential players?

Chelsea
01) Avram Grant to lose his job & replaced by Frank Rijkaard?
02) The unsettled Didier Drogba to leave?
03) The under-performing big names like Andriy Shevchenko, Michael Ballack, Paulo Ferreira to leave in yet another disappointing season?
04) Roman Abramovich to spend and buy back the cups?

Okie that's it for the match. Reached home around 6 plus in the morning, slept at 8 plus and woke up around 2100 haha!

Nothing further for today except for the bullying of my 小公主 in camp.

*Scratch head* Wad to do now till tomorrow?!

Unofficially ORDed...

2008-05-21T21:56:00.005+08:00

How thick skinned I am saying today is my ORD when people asked! Well today is my last working day and shall wait for the arrival of my pinky on 060608.

Book in wif Hor Hor so early on Vesak Day and here I am leaving him alone in the camp :( Was chatting (wif Kelvinnn & Hong Chee) till so late into 2am and decided to sleep. Was unable to sleep till like 5am as I woke up late in the afternoon the day before. Found out that Hor Hor also couldn't sleep till like 3am? (他不习惯哈哈 =p) And once again, disturbing Hor Hor's rest again!

Was so relaxed (for the first time) in camp yesterday. 厚着脸皮的 sit and slack inside Kelvinnn's office in the morning toking rubbish after "repairing" his boss' computer. Went for lunch and then proceed on wif the clearance (wif Hong Chee & Joseph). Was always so successful in getting the right man to sign. Dinner time kicked in soon after. Supposed to meet 小公主 at 1825, end up seeing him on the way to find me after his dinner.

The Chang fella in my branch managed to jam up the printer at such a critical time (not onli the time to meet Hor Hor but also the time for cookhouse to close). Wanted to leave for dinner first (as I'm supposed to meet 小公主, if not 人头sure落地!), but ear suddenly became soft and stayed to help wif unjamming the printer. Knowing that time was really catching up, I demanded to go for dinner first and to solve it after dinner. 小公主 came knowing about this and went to solve it alone. The experienced him gave an advise but the Chang fella refused to accept it! (well that's him wif his 牛脾气!) Solved it in the end, thanx to, who, luck?

Went back to shower and went over to the "皇宫" and heard the keyword (哈哈!) So managed to tok cok sing song blah blah blah. And time for the conclusion then to the dreamland (0130 this time round). I'm the bloody one who was unable to sleep for a 2nd successive nite till like 0310 -.-"

Light shone (covered wif blanket), alarm rang (off-ed). A familiar voice asking "whose this sleeping here, why is he sleeping here" woke me up immediately (wif my eyes still closed pretending to be sleeping till I heard the door closed). Finally up on my butt smiling at Kelvinnn about the incident. Went back to change and *puff*, 公主驾到!

Escorted the princess to a new palace and I went to finish up some small stuff. I'm basically someone useless not contributing by staying in a palace whereby the boring me was able to understand my 小公主 even more.

Time really flies, real fast, even a bird had been shot down! (well its onli injured and unable to fly) Was thinking of bringing it home to groom but the "dun u dare touch me face" on it, made me retreated. Its basically enjoying the environment by sleeping (how many of u actually see a bird sleeping before? Less those who are keeping the poor thing in a cage) on a very clean and comfortable platform. Its sleeping on its own and our relationship up some levels!

Was chatting from gossips to gossips, topics to topics. If onli time could be extend during this period of time. Thought of staying in but won't be the same as the previous 2 nites. So the heartless me, left and blog here. Well it's getting emo here, so shall juz keep the feeling in my tiny heart =)

To Hor Hor: Hang on there, a few more hours to the so-called freedom. Will miss u!

Alrite, will be biking to Al's house now. Nitez all! Hope Manchester United can win over Chelski!

Room In A Mess -.-"

2008-05-19T21:05:00.002+08:00

Holy cow! My room is in such a mess at this point of time when I'm going back to a wonderful chalet in Lim Chu Kang.

Well woke up at 1400hrs (2nd successive time) again. Did nothing (yet again). Ate lunch then talk to my Ah Ma and then to FM (another again). Better performance from my guyz this time as I changed to a new tactic (tactician yeah =p).

Kelvinnn was here to help me once again in my new and fresh template. Nice yeah! Found this last night and guess wad, was changing the codes till 0500hrs without success. Today, wif the help of Kelvin, and wif juz a simple click, it's finally up.

Okie nothing much. Back to my "chalet" :S

聊到好早哦！

2008-05-19T00:46:00.015+08:00

哈哈。。。今天，我就用华文来打我的 blog。

已经很久没有在MSN聊得这么久了。有两个钟左右吧？跟荣傅和小公主开开心心的聊，一转眼就三点多了！我这只猪睡到下午两点多才起身，真够懒吧！

一起身就吃了在台湾买的牛肉面（小公主大概是要杀了我。为了我的面，被那位大婶看不爽！就说到这，详细内容就不透露了）。跟着就玩了 FM，真气死人，输了再输。嗨，真伤脑精啊！玩啊玩就到晚餐了。吃了饭之后就跟爸妈打了三缺一麻将。手气真的是够差，竟然从一开始的 420 输乘 130！幸好没赌钱 =p

如今 sign in，都不见人影。大概是我太晚了吧！

1st Weekend

2008-05-17T22:52:00.004+08:00

Ok, my blog entered the first weekend -.-"

FMed in the noon and got a more humiliating result: Liverpool 1-5 Manchester United. Haiz the consolation goal always come onli when they stop scoring, like yesterday. A string of bad results left me 5th and 10 points adrift of Chelski. There goes my league for this season.

Went gai gai at Vivocity wif Al & Bo. Guess wad, Bo saw a pair of pants from Crocodile and tried it and... bought it! Cost S$69 and he bought it without considering! The one who wanted to buy something end up carry air back, well done Al! Makan nasir ayam penyet at the hawker opposite Vivo and went pooling at West Coast Recreation Centre after that. Well was really shooting bird. I admit, I sux at it.

Oh yeah, was thinking about Kelvinnn when we went into a Puma shop. Saw 1 yellow T-shirt which I'm quite sure he'll like. See lahz, still missing u... :S

Alrite enjoying music now and I believe that's it for today!

It's so late now! (or should I say early?!)

2008-05-17T01:31:00.008+08:00

Yawnz... Can't believe I started to play FM08 again. Most humiliating result: Newcastle 3-1 Liverpool. Why Liverpool? Coz of the youngsters they brought in the last summer.

My jobs shortlisted today: NIL. Well juz to lazy to search on a Friday like this. (I'm simply that lazy!)

To my Bro (or izzit not now): Plz be more responsible. 我最讨厌人家利用或玩弄感情！！！

Went Changi Village for my dinner cum supper and got back to chat wif my 台湾朋友！今天聊得不是很多。我们明天再见！

To all who are feeling bored, watch this video (by my long lost bud): http://youtube.com/watch?v=1uwOL4rB-go&feature=related
It's really very funny! Watch it to believe it!

晚安咯！

Boring Day

2008-05-15T22:18:00.006+08:00

Intro...

2008-05-14T21:04:00.025+08:00

时辰到。。。斩！

Well, look at how ancient and bored I am. This is my first official blog and I believe regular updates will be quite impossible =p

Why the sudden "kick" for a blog? Reason is simply just too bored! Or maybe for some frens out there haha! Believe people will start asking why my-time-is-upped, so I'll just share it here as my introduction. My NS "tour" is finally coming to an end and u know wad, I still have not decided on my path ahead! Came back from Taiwan yesterday (130508) and saw the rejected letters from NTU and SIM. I'm not hoping for any good news from NUS anymore.

It's only until now (140508 2121HRS) that I've decided to find a job first and study part-time next year to enjoy a 40% rebate in local Uni. So another headache now will be wad kinda job I'm able to find. Sighz~

Alrite I shall move on to a more interesting stuff which is my stay in Taiwan. It's a long 3 weeks stay but onli 3 days of fun. Why? Up to u guyz to guess. It's my second trip in 2 years but it's more enjoyable this time round. Get to know my best fren in the army and hope will not die out after I leave service.

The one who offered me his medicine when I was sick and the one who sacrifice his milo for me when I was drenched out in the cold weather. The one who can tahan how irritating I am, knocking on his door early in the morning and lying on his bed late at nite, leaving him with minimum rest time. The one who helped me even though it's not in his job scope. The one who accompanied the fuzzy me during the 3 days of relaxation. Not forgetting for "lending me his shoulder" and a lot more...

Not to forget the rest of my frens who help me through-out the whole frame, making it one of the most interesting "trip" I've been to.

还有我这两位台湾的朋友，真的是很感激你们。陪了我们一整个白天，打扰了你们在一起甜蜜的一天。希望你们不会觉得我们很烦。如果要来新加坡，一定要通知我们喔！ (Was full of sweat chatting in MSN wif them...) 我不在讲你们的坏话；p

Alrite that's it for today!
