bombastic Crap

New Job, New Beginning

2011-07-10T23:19:00.002+08:00

I finally quit my job in Jones Lang Lasalle last month on the 28th. It took me forever to come up with the courage to send in the resignation letter without a job on hand.

But after serious thoughts about my commitments and financial status, i decided to to take the plunge and leave JLL jobless.

I consider it as taking a break.

I have been with JLL for close to 4 years. During my tenure, i have learnt a lot things, made a lot of good friends and met a lot of good people.

Things were nice there. I could come in late to work and still leave on time. I was damn good with what I'm doing and people always look for me for help.

However, due to a certain circumstances, all these good things were marred and made my experience in JLL, not a very pleasant one to remember.

Changes are always hard to accept, but only with changes then will come improvements.

I managed to secure only one interview when I was serving my notice and i seriously didn't bother to look for other jobs.

I didnt blast my resume, nor was I actively looking for job openings. Basically, i was only of thinking of NUAING. At least for the next 3 months.

However, the only interview that I had secured, turn out to be the biggest surprise. I managed to get the job through one round of interview, and on the same day no less.

I was surprised. Never expect that to happen. I even managed to meet the team on the day of interview.

So now I am with iDA. Been working there for last week and tomorrow is my 2nd week. Hopefully, I can learn as much as I can here!

I saw...

2011-05-16T23:32:00.004+08:00

I was having a late dinner at Hougang just now. While having dinner, I saw an old man, with a green t shirt, a cap and a cloth.

He was limping towards an empty table, with a cloth in hand, started wiping the table while clearing up the empty plates.

The old man looks to be around 60 to 70. The wrinkles on his face marks the path of time. His hands, wrinkled, with green veins popping out. He shuffled with a limp, as if every effort to move requires him to exert every muscle in his office.

He had a tired look, his eyes, as if resigned to fate.

His trembling hands carried the empty plates and bowls, with the dirty cloth in hand, shuffling and limping towards the collection point.

At the collection point, there was this young man. Fit and strong, standing down there, having the easy job of sorting the plates and bowls. If the plates and bowls are not empty, he would just poured them into a trash bin and sort them accordingly.

A job that even a three year old or a elderly that could do.

The old man handed over the plates and bowls and continue shuffling to another table.

However before he could move, a stout, pot bellied Indian stopped the old man. He gestured towards the old man and for awhile, the old man watched him intently.

Without a word, the old man took a bag of plastic bags and proceed to stock up the stalls. While the old man was busy, the stout pot bellied Indian was eating nuts and chatting with other cleaners. Young and fit Indians.

It was not long before there was another empty table. The stout pot bellied Indian called to the old man and pointed to the empty table. Gesturing to the old man to stop stocking up the stall and wants him to clear the table immediately.

The old man, without a word, a complaint, set down the plastic bags to one side neatly, shuffled and limped towards the table. While the stout pot bellied Indian continue chatting with the Young and Fit cleaner.

My heart broke when I saw that scene.

This is a man who had gone through life almost more than any of the cleaners being deployed.

This is a Singaporean, who MM Lee has mentioned, the generation that remembered, the generation which built the foundation of our modern Singapore.

This is an individual who had to struggle with such little dignity and pride, in order to survive in our country.

With the FT lording over the old man, while being biased towards his own fellow country man, is this the Singapore that we want to see?

While the Fit and Young man at the sorting station stands down there and do simple job, the old man has to shuffle and limp around.

A bloody contrast, a young FT having an easier job than an old Singaporean.

What has the country done for the generation that Remembered, Contributed, Built and Brought our glory today? Is this the future that you want to see? Is this the way of how the country treated the contributors?

Is this what we really wanted and is this how we take care of the ones who had help built what we are today?

long update

2009-09-10T01:15:00.003+08:00

It has been forever since I update this blog of mine... Time for a major update.

This yr's reservice is crazy, I have been summoned back to camp for 5 weeks straight. 3 weeks of normal in camp and 2 weeks of CSM course.

The first 3 weeks are crazy as this is de first time tat we have to train as an Ops unit. We were made to move like as we were in combat. A lot of us were first timers as we have not went through this before... Even for me.

It was chaotic. We spent a lot of time planning the movement, including traffic control. However, on tat day, nothing went according to plan.

The vehicles were going to all de wrong places at the wrong time. People not following instructions as they try to do what they think is right. I was not there to suprvise as I was made to go outfield. My RQ was basically screaming all de way.

When we were out in the field, we do not have enough manpower to set up the obstacles. I have to work alone...

It has been a long time since I went outfield. And there are a lot of things that I cant take it as when I was a regular.

Im having the NS man mentailty. LOL

After my 3 weeks in camp, I managed to rest for 1 week before going for the CSM course at ASTW.

It was another 2 weeks of hell....

We were trainees there. We got screwed left right centre with all kinds of abuse that you would have never come across. We were being trained in the 84mm gun, which is heavy as hell.

The weather was crazy. I can be as wet as a duck a few moments ago and I could be as dry as a stick a few moments later.

The final 5 days 4 nights mission was held in Tekong. Only 1 word could describe it. Nightmare!

But ovrerall we had fun. We ordered $300 worth of pizza and $80 worth of drinks at the last nite of the training.

It was fun!

Long Long Ago Till Now

2009-08-09T01:29:00.002+08:00

It seems like forever since the last time i updated this blog.

jus came back from ICT. another 3 weeks of suffering, except this time its worse. theres outfield...

i got both hands cut by concertina wires. my boots were destroyed, my pants were torn, my shirt got extra holes for ventilation.

Worse of all, i didnt lose weight! WTH!!!

Men Vs Women, Mars is different from Venus

2009-05-19T01:15:00.003+08:00

Look at the title. Guess it you can know what this post is gonna be...

Seriously, this issue has been debated thousands of times, more possibly, millions. up to this date, i still can never understand the most mystical creature in the whole universe. Women that is.

I wonder who came up with the rule that women must 1.)be hoax, 2.)have things their way, 3.)is always right, 4.)to throw temper as and when they like it without men knowing the damn reason.

The list goes on, but it might take me forever just to complete it. Its no joke, just ask the men ard you, you can try the ladies too. that is if u don mind dying.

Arguments can start with no reasons nor trigger during a conversation or any action. Like walking through a landmine field. And surprisingly, it can jump from one genre to another without and indication, warning nor hint. just like 4D, whatever combinations or possibilities u can come up with, it jus continues to amaze u more...

Women is good at jumping and most probably no men can win in this sport. whats the best thing they jump into? Conclusions.

SERIOUSLY, if u don believe me, ask ard again. and they do follow the famous investigator's rule, which is "Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth."

WHAT DE HECK IS TAT!!!??? by taking things at face value, their over creative brain starts to go into CONCLUSION mode.

1 example:

Me: I need a new computer for work. There's a lot of things to do tonight
Her: okie, lets go get one.
Me to sales lady: I need something that can run excel with a huge data load.
Sales lady: sure, this thing can *blah blah
Me: okie i will take this.

Reached home, comp set up, I started to work. due to MY COMPETENCY in excel and the POWERFUL PROCESSING of the computer, i managed to get this done quite fast. So fast that its out of my expectations by 10 times?

I started to look into the specs of the PC and decided TO TEST THE GRAPHICS PROCESSING POWER of the PC. So i log on to Audition since its a graphic intensive game.

Her: Wa you told me you are going to be very busy hor?
Me: i finished my work, jus plain testing de graphics.
Her: YEA RIGHT
Me:...

and she didnt even wan to talk to me after tat.

I mean thats her way of showing her displeasure and i was like WTF HAVE I DONE WRONG?

DAMN.

i still don know y she thinks that i cant finish my work fast even though my workload is heavy... CANT A WOMAN PLACE HER TRUST IN A MAN?

F*** if tats de case, then be together in the 1st place?

Isnt it?

Secret Project

Secret project in progress... Stay tuned!

ICT

2009-04-25T13:24:00.002+08:00

Jus came back from 2 days Bn day. It was PAINFUL. not physcially but mentally... its worse than being in a meeting at work and thats for the 1st day.

2nd day wasnt so bad. thats when the men starts to come in. we had a Q&A session between the men and the commanders. The men decided to question me about the out pro for last ICT. why we were the last.

I explained them in details and they accepted it. The day whizzed by and we are allowed to book out. Fauzi gave me a lift home.

On the way home, the subject of the company was being brought up.

I asked him a very simple question. Does the men hate me as i have always been the devil. Fauzi looked at me in surprise then ask me why do i think tat way.

I told him i jus had a feeling abt it. He laughed and says that i have gotten it all wrong. he told me tat the men and commanders were actually happy that im the CSM instead of the others. (Fauzi is the 2nd in command)

He has talked to men and junior commanders and he told me what de men thought.

The men understand my situation and they had put themselves in my shoes. They know the reason why i have to be the devil and be so strict with them. they know the reason why i have to make them do so much and make them do so much drills.

they know why i have to push them so much despite the fact that its jus reservice.

When they saw my company tag changed to Alpha, they asked me why am i not in HQ anymore. i told them that HQ don like me and so they transferred me to Alpha. I told them then Fauzi would then become the new CSM.

It was then when i realized that how much control and command i have over the men. One of men told me straight in the face that if the transfer is true, then HQ will fall cos they know Fauzi cannot control them.

They were actually happy to have me as their CSM.

LOL

Recent updates... 100th Post!!!

2009-02-13T00:01:00.003+08:00

Have been busy these few weeks due to quite a bit of stuff....

In the order of importance:

1. Work

2. Cycling

3. Wii

4. RT

1. Work

I have been busy with work for the last few weeks. I have to cover my work, take on new stuff and train my new assistant.

My new assistant holds a Master in Finance. In a way, one should expect more from her. I had high expectactions from her and yet, the more I hope, the more I fell...

She was with Stand Chart as a Finance Analyst before she came over. One would have expected her to be proficient in certain aspects of MS office, notably, Excel or Access.

When I asked her whether she knows the basic functions, such as, Vlookup/Hlookup, IF, Date, etc... She said yes. But when I saw her struggling with the functions, I knew we are screwed...

She has been eating into my work time as I have to break off from whatever Im doing when she asked me for help in some simple things. My productivity dropped.

Im taking on new stuff at the same time because I have new assistant. But it seems that Im being taxed on a lot.

2. Cycling

Been banging around the place on my little bicycle for last few weekends. It was nice and fun and I got good workouts. I and Jeremy had planned for breakfast on every sunday morning at CV, cycling to there.

3. Wii

New poison, new toy, new interest. Whatever you say it, whatever it is! Been stuck to this cute high tech little white box that has provided me with intense game play (Motion sensored!) and the pretty graphics.

The best thing of all, its Party Games aglore!!! Which means, the whole family can join in together!!!

My room has become a Zoo, an arcade, a mental hospital.

Wii sports has been thrashing quite a bit of my family members right arm. (Boxing and bowling!!!)

4. RT

The worse thing ever to happen to someone who has ORD from the army. Shall not elaborate on it. Anyone who went through it knows how troublesome and how stupid it is!

Anyway, apart from those issues above, I did something drastic today.

I HAVE SENT IN MY RESIGNATION LETTER. With immediate effect as on today.

I have to ask Kimi-chan to help me draft the letter as I have not written any before. (I bang table with the upper management last time)

Kimi-chan thought I was joking when I asked her to help me draft the letter. Her eyes were going to pop out when she saw who I was going to mail it to. She asked me why I wanna quit since Im doing so well currently. (Im one of the highest paid in my department)

I told her that its my own personal decision and I need a new enviornment. She then asked about my new job status. I told her I got none pending, which means, JOBLESS.

She got a double shock upon hearing that. I told her I need a break first before doing anything else. She then shake her head and said that people like me can afford to do that while she cannot.

LOL

Sunshine Empire

2009-02-05T01:17:00.008+08:00

Read the papers 2 days ago and the headlines had grabbed my full and immediate attention.

The chiefs of Sunshine Empire has been charged and is waiting to go trial.

Its a big news which is worth celebrating as Singapore's Biggest scammers were caught. The net of justice has caught up on them.

I had absolutely hated the Sunshine Empire and the management group even though I do not have any involvement in it. However, the way they scam people makes my fist itchy.

I came across them a few years back when I was still a regular in the SAF. At that point of time, a lot of my colleagues and friends were in to it and told me that its a good way to earn money. Basically, just throw money in there and let it roll...

I declined them countless times and yet they were very persistent. I even had some friendships that soured because of this issue.

Relenting to pressure and not wanting to have any friendships broken up, I reluctantly followed them to their so call seiminer.

When I reached there, the number of people over there is over-whelming. The atmosphere was charged with excitement and there was a buzz in the air. There were people wearing black suits walking around the place, telling people that they are going to have their lives changed. I stood by in a corner waiting for the seminar to start.

When the hour came, we were ushered into a room. There stood a man who introduced himself as James Pang. He said that he is to help us change our lives for the better and to earn big money. And then, the power point slides.

The seminar was more like a brain washing seminar. Almost everyone seems to captivated by his speech and his fraudulent promises. I have done the maths in my head before I went to seminar.

The returns were too good to be true and its unsustainable in the long run. Even banks can't promise you returns that were so high.

After the seminar, my friend drag me to a corner and introduced me a man who wore suits. He sat down with me and asked me how was the seminar.

I told him that I am very skeptical about the whole thing and its very hard to convince me to part me with the money. He laughed and said that everyone who came had the same mindset as me and he will changed my thinking.

He started by taking out a pen and paper (the usual stuff) and started to draw and write figures while explaining how the payout system works. When I asked about the products and services that the company provide, he said that they are not important.

HEADCOUNT is the main revenue.

That's when I know its a scam. However, I decided to stay on let him finish his talk as I do not want to offend him as my friend was still standing beside me. When he was done talking, he told me not to wait anymore and produced a paper to sign.

I told him that I wanted to go home and think about it as the amount is huge. He told me that the longer I wait, the more chances I'm losing and I should act fast. I gave a firm no and persisted to go home.

When I reached home, my friend called me and ask me to make up my decision fast. I told him that after discussions with my family, I decided not to as we might need the money for emergency. He told me to call him when I had changed my mind.

I begin searching the net and found quite a bit of information on the founder, James Phang. After going through all the data, I realised that its a scam and called my friend to warn him.

It was a wrong move. My colleagues in camp start to ignore me and my friends stay away from me. Some even called up and scold me. I took it like a pinch of salt till the point when people who I do not even know started to call me up and demanded a meeting.

Not fearing these people, I went down and meet them. We had a heated argument and some said that I'm one of the worse kind around. I give up talking to them and give them a piece of advice.

Time will tell the truth. And the time is now...

So for those people who dissed me and said that Jame Phang is their father, I would say that you are blinded by greed and become stupid.

MLM, What the heck?

2009-01-18T02:48:00.002+08:00

I got a meeting request from a friend a few days ago, asking me to meet her up for coffee. Since we had not met each other for a long time, I decided to attend.

When we met, I was amazed at her transformation. The last time I met her, she was a girl who wore T shirt, Jeans and sneakers. Now, she looks like a executive, the standard 3 piece suit. A shirt, blazer, skirt and high heel shoes.

We sat down, ordered our drinks and talked about old time. Barely 10 mins into the conversation, she started asking me whether am I interested in a business deal.

I was surprised yet already half expected it. (Not the first time, wont be the last too)

Not trying to be rude, I act interested. I gave her the 'WoW' look and used the exciting tone in my voice. She was beaming with smile when she saw my expression.

I'm a damn good actor...

She then proceed to introduce me the company, her position in the company, the products of the company... All the standard opening fare with all the bells and whistles and fireworks.

And then, she took out her weapon. The paper and the pen.

I guess I don't have to talk about the rest. I believe most of the people who went through this knows what will happen next.

To cut the story short, after the presentation is finished, I asked for 3 things.

1.) Business Plan/Business Proposal
2.) Official Company Profile / Product or Service description
3.) Official Financial Statement

Her replies were so beautiful till I'm stupefied by it.

1.) There's no need for Business Plan or Business Proposal as the CEO fully knows the direction for the company. Business Plans or Business Proposal are for amateurs only...

2.) She has already shown me the Official Company Profile / Product or Service description when she showed me the printed Powerpoint slides.

3.) She says that the company Financial Statement cannot be released.

I was like, what the fuck? (Pardon me)

If I were an investor/member/partner, the company should have allowed access to these publications easily to us. Unless, I'm a consumer.

So people, if someone ask you whether are you interested in a business proposal, ask for these 3 items. Else, you are either a consumer, or just a freaking big carrot head.

New Injury >_<

2008-12-31T02:15:00.003+08:00

okie, i got another injury last fri... A kid riding a bmx without brakes shot out from nowhere and bang into me on the right...

I flew and landed like a ragged doll while scraping de floor... my left side of my left calf...

I lay down there half stunned. After awhile, I realised tat i was bleeding. When i took a look at de wound, i curse and swear..

it was big.. approx 11cm by 5 cm. It was a 2nd Degree Abrasion. Theres was no doctor at tat point of time so i have to cycle back home while bleeding.

this time, i didnt even check my bike for damage...

When i reached home, I washed my wound and let it dry. I preferred to let it heal de normal way. Which means let de scab form. however, after 2 days it still didnt look good. so i went to de doc. the doc says tat i got bacterial infection...

so yea, i have to cover it up...

heres de wound before i cover it up.

so i die die have to listen to my doc advice to cover it up. Doc says tat for a injury this size, its gonna take at least 2 weeks!!!

so yea, here's all covered up. i seriously hope this can heal fast...

i will post pic when i change dressing tomolo

Updates

2008-10-27T04:26:00.002+08:00

Wa, long time no blog... >_< guess im too busy and lazy to blog for the past few weeks (feeling guilty)

time for a little update... lets see how much i can remember...

September 2008.

1st week was hell... was rushing 5 dashboards in a week with all the ad hoc and regular reports... Plus locations and departments creations... i have to complete them in 1 week as im going for reservist at de 2nd week...

Basically i was OTing all the way for the 1st week...

1st day of September 2nd week was crazy... Its my 1st In Camp Training aka ICT. I was totally clueless on what i need to do and where to go. Nevertheless, its also de same for the rest of the pple... But since I am de CSM (Company Sergent Major) for HQ, Im force to know everything in a short notice...

and im not de only one who has to do tat. Delta and Support CSMs also walked the same path as me. The good thing is, the 3 of us know each other before hand... so we can communicate well enough to get things going smooth and well...

Admin was a huge headache as all of us are 1st timers. Wats worse is tat our RSM (Regimental Sergent Major) was not ard. He was away on course. He is the one who should give us instructions and guide us on the ground.

and because he is away, and according to hierarchy status, i became the Stand In RSM. it was stressful as i have never taken upon a CSM post when i was active... let alone the RSM post...

so yea, the 1st week was horrendous... even though only the commanders come in at de 1st week, (the men starts to come in at the 2nd week) the admin is still chaotic as my company, HQ, has its full strength in from the very 1st week...

Discipline is always an issue when we are in a uniformed organization. If you don take tame ur subordinates, they will climb over you. Too much of a iron fist and they will rebel. And since its ICT, the balance of discipline is very delicate. one wrong move and its all over...

Somehow, i managed to get them going. the good thing is, all of them are good pple. its not hard to convince the commanders. its harder to convince the men on the things that you ordered them to do.

Some of the CSMs has said that its hard to get the men to listen to them. To me, its not all that hard once u know how to play on their maturity, how to use their age against them, and also, let them know the reason on the orders that you gave to them.

In order to instill discipline and my authority over them, the 1st move i made is to make them clean up the bunks. This is not easy. Even commanders in active them has problem making them men clean up the bunk on their own accord.

It all started out the same the moment u tell them that u wan to clean their bunk up to the standard u set for them. They complain saying that they are reservist, they are going to stay in that hell hole for 3 weeks. so whats de point of making them clean de bunk...

my junior commanders were looking at me for an answer and my officers were looking at how i perform... i have already anticipated this problem to surface once i pass this order. i can do it by 2 ways. One is to tell them its an order and rule by the iron fist. Or i convince them to clean the bunk themselves, happily without complaints.

I opt for the 2nd option.

I gathered all of them on their accommodation level, right outside one of the bunk. I told them the reason why i wan them to clean their bunk. The reason is simple, so simple that they cant say no...

1.) Since they all are living the bunk, its better to live in a place where its clean, bright and comfortable. These pple have wife, gf, children waiting for them at home. Its not nice to come to camp, stay in a dump and get urself sick.

2.) Once the bunk got cleaned, its jus maintainance. they don have to do a large scale cleaning everytime before they booked out. saves time and effort.

they agreed with me and proceed to clean the bunk up. i have won half the battle... or so i thought.

2nd week was pure hell... our RSM is still not back yet and i have been running the show for the past week. i lost of my voice on de 3rd day. all the rifle company men starts to come in. its another scamble for chaos admin issues.

however, the CSMs already has experience and things were hectic but not so bad. during the 3rd day of the 2nd week, i ordered a bunk inspection at 1500 hrs. the men told me that they would be ready by 1430.

but at 1400 hrs, i receive orders from CO to move out with de rifle company to take a look training issues... which means, to move out to field with him to overlook training. before i left, i told the men tat i cancel off the bunk inspection and they are allowed to do what they wan.

i came back from field at around 2200 hrs. when i reach camp, one of my fellow CSM told me that my men has been cleaning their bunk till now...

I was like, 'huh? wth? i told them that i cancel off the bunk inspection...'

i went upstairs and take a look. true enough, most of them are still cleaning de bunk. They even take out the moss which grew on the ground and on de wall... the fire extinguishers were free of dust and the corridor was devoid of dust.

i was shocked and i ask them whether did they receive de orders that i had cancel the bunk inspection. they said yes... but they still think tat since they have time to work more on it, they might as well do it.

I know i had win them over...

At tat nite, i conduct a informal inspection. even i was shocked by the cleanliness of it... If BMT recruits came and saw, i believe tat they will be in awe... even them cant set the standard and yet these grown up men has shown me wat they can do.

The other CSMs heard me boasting abt the standard and decided to come up and take a look... after they saw it, they walk away dejected... they told me tat theres no way they can make their man do like how i make my men did it. One even commented tat its a resort...

3rd week was relatively easy since my RSM is back from course. Things were left to him and i managed to have more time to myself... and things ran more smoothly as i can focus on my own company more... so no hiccups...

October 2008

I spend a lot more time with my gal. since she stay in the west and i stay in the north, we decided to stay over at each other place every now and then. Life was blissful~~~ however, work is hectic.

nothing much happened except that i have rushing work all the while. Normal anyway :p

Then came my birthday~~~ which was the day before. my bro had bought a PSP for me, my gal for me a Braun Buffel Wallet and Keypouch. We had a little gathering of close frds in a small K pub at Central Mall...

We enjoy ourselves till the wee hrs of the morning and we went for frog legs and fish porridge. After tat we went home and slp...

not much happen today... maybe later will organize a K box outing ba... Tois, useless, beware!!!

LOL

Handwriting Analysis. How true is it?

2008-08-28T22:26:00.003+08:00

I just did an online handwriting analysis test. The results are as below:

Wilson is moderately outgoing. His emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, he can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. He has the ability to put himself into the other person's shoes.

Wilson will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes he will be happy, the next day he might be sad. He has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because he is in between. Psychology calls Wilson an ambivert. He understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, he will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." He doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing him to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to him. He puts himself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet he will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Wilson is an expressive person. He outwardly shows his emotions. He may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Wilson is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. He weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when he finally has to. He basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Wilson doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

Wilson will demand respect and will expect others to treat him with honor and dignity. Wilson believes in his ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. He has a lot of pride.

Wilson will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!

Wilson can be defiant. He sometimes has the attitude that if someone doesn't like it the way he is doing it, then they can just "go to hell!" This trait may reveal itself in a rebellious nature that is always ready to resist forces which he thinks are infringing upon his freedom of action.

In reference to Wilson's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Wilson slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project.

He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Wilson can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.

Wilson's true self-image is unreasonably low. Someone once told Wilson that he wasn't a great and beautiful person, and he believed them. Wilson also has a fear that he might fail if he takes large risks. Therefore he resists setting his goals too high, risking failure. He doesn't have the internal confidence that frees him to take risks and chance failure. Wilson is capable of accomplishing much more than he is presently achieving. All this relates to his self-esteem. Wilson's self-concept is artificially low. Wilson will stay in a bad situation much too long... why? Because he is afraid that if he makes a change, it might get worse. It is hard for Wilson to plan too far into the future. He kind of takes things on a day to day basis. He may tell you his dreams but he is living in today, with a fear of making a change. No matter how loud he speaks, look at his actions. This is perhaps the biggest single barrier to happiness people not believing in and loving themselves. Wilson is an example of someone living with a low self-image, because their innate self-confidence was broken.

Wilson is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect his ego when he feels hurt. He pokes people harder than he gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.

Wilson is constantly disappointed when trying to reach success. He works very hard, perhaps harder than most, then just before succeeding, something happens that keeps him from success. Often, Wilson changes to a second project just before the first one is finished, thus failing to complete the first project. Sometimes he changes because he feels he needs a different challenge. Wilson feels dejected. This feeling relates to his failures. This trait is very important in a working situation and in a relationship. He must be handled in a very special way to get the most work from him or to make a relationship last. Concerning this trait, personality modification is available to change his life.

I don't know how true it is as one does not know oneself. Its better for you all to make the judgment.. Tag on my board, is it true?

LOL

Cycling

2008-08-24T03:16:00.002+08:00

decided to go cycling jus now even though it has been raining the whole day... i know de ground would be wet, i know its gonna be slippery... but heck i still go...

its still drizzling very lightly when im on de road... my 1st near miss came when i was nearing de junction... normally i would jus bank down to de left and cut straight out, but when i did tat jus now, my rear tyre caught de drain cover causing it to lose friction, i skidded...

maybe im too used to and crash and roll... (u don crash and burn on a bicycle) when i skidded, i still remain composed and nudge de damn bicycle back on to de track...

then i tell myself tat i must watch out for drain covers... was doing fine until i hit de zebra crossing... this time i bank left again, and as god would have it, i skidded again... >.<

my rear tyre caught de white stripes on de road...

i almost crash into the traffic lights, then almost shot on to the road with de oncoming traffic flying ard like some crazy maniacs... thankfully de brakes were well maintained and they work pretty good.. stopping me jus right at de edge of de kerb...

so i tell myself again, no drain covers, no white strips, go slow and go damn slow while turning...

so i happily cycle and was trying to make myself go deaf with loud blaring music, courtesy from my W960i and its bluetooth headset.

all was going well until i hit defu lane... it was all de way down slope... i let my guard down and started going at full speed. when i was reaching de zebra crossing, i tried to slow down...

bad move... de damn tyre caught another drain cover. instinct kicked in and i jam de rear brakes while trying to bank to de left... so i wont fly out of the path...

burned quite a bit of rubber, left quite a long trail... and i don know is it luck or de one on top is trying to mock me... i stop jus right in front of de zebra crossing...

and de best thing of all, de phone was playing Crash and Burn from Salvage Garden...

so i decided to be more careful, added another point to my checklist... No speeding...

so yea... with these 3 points in my small puny brain which is plagued by STM, i managed to reach ECP safely...

cycle one rd and then decided to cycle back home...

maybe i shld put spikes on my tires when i cycle on wet surface next time... >.<

Something to ponder

2008-08-21T01:49:00.002+08:00

I receive this email from a frd today... its very meaningful...

On my wedding day, I carried my wife in my arms. The bridal car stopped in front of our one-room flat. My buddies insisted that I carry her out of the car in my arms. So I carried her into our home. She was then plump and shy.. I was a strong and happy bridegroom.

This was the scene ten years ago. The following days were as simple as a cup of pure water: we had a kid; I went into business and tried to make more money. When the assets were steadily increasing, the affection between us seemed to ebb. She was a civil servant. Every morning we left home together and got home almost at the same time. Our kid was studying in a boarding school.

Our marriage life seemed to be enviably happy. But the calm life was more likely to be affected by unpredictable changes. Dew came into my life. It was a sunny ay. I stood on a spacious balcony. Dew hugged me from behind. My heart once again was immersed in her stream of love. This was the apartment I bought for her. Dew said, you are the kind of man who best draws girls' eyeballs. Her words suddenly reminded me of my wife. When we were just married, my wife said, Men like you, once successful, will be very attractive to girls.

Thinking of this, I became somewhat hesitant. I knew I had betrayed my wife.. But I couldn't help doing so. I moved Dew's hands aside and said you go to select some furniture, O.K.? I've got something to do in the company. Obviously she was unhappy, because I had promised to do it together with her. At the moment, the idea of divorce became clearer in my mind although it used to be something mpossible to me. However, I found it rather difficult to tell my wife about it. No matter how mildly I mentioned it to her, she would be deeply hurt. Honestly, she was a good wife. Every evening she was busy preparing dinner. I was sitting in front of the TV. The dinner was ready soon. Then we watched TV together. Or, I was lounging before the computer, visualizing Dew's body. This was the means of my entertainment. One day I said to her in a slightly joking way, suppose we divorce, what will you do? She stared at me for a few seconds without a word. Apparently she believed that divorce was something too far away from her. I couldn't imagine how she would react once she got to know I was serious. When my wife went to my office, Dew had just stepped out. Almost all the staff looked at my wife with a sympathetic eye and tried to hide something while talking to her. She seemed to have got some hint. She gently smiled at my subordinates. But I read some hurt in her eyes. Once again, Dew said to me, He Ning, divorce her, O.K.? Then we live together. I nodded. I knew I could not hesitate any more.

When my wife served the last dish, I held her hand. I've got something to tell you, I said. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the serious topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I'm serious. I avoided her question. This so-called answer made her angry.. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man!

That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a atisfactory answer, because my heart had gone to Dew. With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. I felt a pain in my heart. The woman who had been living ten years with me would become a stranger one day. But I could not take back what I had said. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer.

Late that night, I came back home after entertaining my clients. I saw her writing something at the table. I fall asleep fast. When I woke up, I found she was still there. I turned over and was asleep again. She brought up her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but I was supposed to give her one month s time before divorce, and in the month's time we must live as normal a life as ossible. Her reason was simple: our son would finish his summer vacation a month later and she didn't want him to see our marriage was broken.

She passed me the agreement she drafted, and then asked me, He Ning, do you still remember how I entered our bridal room on the wedding day? This question suddenly brought back all those wonderful memories to me. I nodded and said, I remember. You carried me in your arms, she continued, so, I have a requirement, that is, you carry me out in your arms on the day when we divorce. From now to the end of this month, you must carry me out from the bedroom to the door every morning.

I accepted with a smile. I knew she missed those sweet days and wished to end her marriage romantically. I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she does, she has to face the result of divorce, she said scornfully. Her words more or less made me feel uncomfortable. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. We even treated each other as a stranger. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly, Let us start from today, don't tell our son. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for a bus, I drove to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. We were so close that I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this intimate woman carefully for a long time. I found she was not young any more. There were some fine wrinkles on her face.

On the third day, she whispered to me, the outside garden is being demolished. Be careful when you pass there.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I seemed to feel that we were still an intimate couple and I was holding my sweetheart in my arms. The visualization of Dew became vague.

On the fifth and sixth day, she kept reminding me something, such as, where she put the ironed shirts, I should be careful while cooking, etc. I nodded. The sense of intimacy was even stronger. I didn't tell Dew about this.

I felt it was easier to carry her. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. I said to her, It seems not difficult to carry you now. She was picking her dresses. I was waiting to carry her out. She tried quite a few but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I smiled. But I suddenly realized that it was because she was thinner that I could carry her more easily, not because I was stronger. I knew she had buried all the bitterness in her heart. Again, I felt a sense of pain.. Subconsciously I reached out a hand to touch her head.

Our son came in at the moment. Dad, it's time to carry mum out. He said. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had been an essential part of his life. She gestured our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face because I was afraid I would change my mind at the last minute. I held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly, as if we came back to our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad.

On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. She said, actually I hope you will hold me in your arms until we are old. I held her tightly and said, both you and I didn't notice that our life lacked intimacy.

I jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my decision. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door. I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I won't divorce. I'm serious. She looked at me, astonished. The she touched my forehead. You got no fever.. She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I can only say sorry to you, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of life, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I understand that since I carried her into the home, she gave birth to our child, I am supposed to hold her until I am old. So I have to say sorry to you.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove to the office.

When I passed the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet for my wife which was her favorite. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until we are old.

has anyone ever wonder how a relationship broke down? its bcos we take things for granted and we did not notice de very little details in life...

when things get monotonous, we tend neglect de little things tat used to bring de both of them together in the first place...

if there's a chance for us to go back into time, i would promise u tat no matter wat happens, my priority will always be you....

Wa Kaoz

2008-08-02T18:00:00.002+08:00

Wa Kaoz!!! I didnt know de damage done by de kid was so extensive!

1st story: I went cycling a few weeks back. A kid bang into me at ECP. He bang into my pedals and then my Derailler. My derailler was busted on de spot so i have to WALK all de way home from ECP to Hougang.

The next day, i fixed derailler and presto! it work like new. Okie, im lying, it didnt work like new. It is working, but i have to retune it. And tat includes repositioning de Derailler hanger. I got it done anyway and it works like before.

Today: I was cycling halfway when suddenly my bottom bracket starts screaming. It goes 'Creak, Creak, Creak creak creak!' I unsaddle immediately and took a look. Visual inspection couldn't see anything wrong, so i decided to cycle to a bike shop and ask for help.

When i reach de bike shop, i told de boss wat happened. He look look a bit and then said tat de whole bracket is screwed and need to change. Then I asked him how much, he told me tat he don carry my brand of bracket as its cheap stuff... My heart sank... He said its CHEAP STUFF...

I decided to try my luck at de other shop. When i told this boss wat had happened, he also said tat my bottom bracket is screwed. Then he look look and touch touch. Then he said 'Your bike is good quality stuff, i don carry ur stuff here...'

I was so STUNNED. 1 said tat its CHEAP, other said tat its GOOD. Im confused. DOTZ
When I told him wat de other bike shop said, he laughed and told me tat my bike is in de semi pro range. So its consider GOOD at normal level but CHEAP at high level.

So I LL go find another shop. De boss look look see see, then CYCLE... When he made a round and came back, he said tat de bracket is jus loose. The main issue is the bearings. He told me tat its not expensive and he said tat he carries de goods.

Im so happy~~~~ then he proceed to change. Halfway through, he said tat he can see tat I have been torturing my bike quite a bit. I said yea, he said tat i got GOOD judgment when I bought this bike, cos its super durable.

When he remove de bearings, he show me de bearings, de bearings are screwed... After changing de bearings, all is well again~~~~

So happy~~~

雨天

2008-07-24T22:01:00.003+08:00

朦胧细雨夜虚空,
深处情感此时涌,
男儿有泪不轻弹,
只是未到伤心处.

脱口而出意非意,
不知是好错再错,
悔不当初言不言,
千言万语埋又埋.

此时此刻回忆现,
拨起当时伊人颜,
唤起那时汉娇恋,
刹时刹刻念盘旋.

山盟海誓皆情深,
天长地久皆永时,
天荒地老皆白头,
海枯石烂情却灭.

不怨苍天不怨谁,
只有花开又花落,
天若有情天亦老,
人间正道是沧桑.

一寸光阴一寸金,
寸金难买寸光阴,
一生能有多少回,
轰轰烈烈爱一回.

Goal

2008-07-14T01:40:00.000+08:00

I have been busy with work for de past few week... I seriously don know wat i wan out from my work now... i think wat im doing now is not wat i really wan... I have
been goaless since i took over data analytics and dashboard... Now work is no longer as interesting as it is... Although de workload is heavy enough to keep my tots from straying... Its not doing enough to keep some feelings away... De worst thing is, it came when i was working in de office late at nite... And it affects my emotion at tat point of time...
Somehow, my next goal in work appear to me just now... It didn't come as a surprise to me... it was one of my next goal... But i didn't know tat i would come to this point so fast... After considering de fact tat i have cleared de most recent goal, its only natural tat de other step is to go towards de next step...
So i guess its another meeting with boss tomolo in regards to this issue...
Its not tat i have not let him know abt my ROA... He knows wat i wan from this dept... we had a very in depth discussion on this particular issue. We made known to each other wat's our plan and how things should go... So tomolo's short meeting is to reinforce my target and de achievementstattat i wan to achieve...

My Regrets

2008-07-02T03:04:00.003+08:00

It’s too late now, still I’ve got something to say…

Girl I’m sorry that I treated you that way...

Time has gone now, and the moment has passed…

When I had the chance to try and make us last...

All alone now, and it’s no one’s fault by mine…

Couldn’t see the truth, I had those blinded eyes...

You have moved on, still I don’t give a damn…

Got to get this off my chest while I can...

Every single hour,

Of every single day,

I Miss you more and more,

Don’t know what to say,

I Know I closed the door,

You’re gone and on your way

But now, I need you, I need you…

Wanna take it back to the day when we first met,

If I could, I’d start all over again…

Our love is My Regret

Should have known then, what I know now…

Dying every second that you’re not around

Should have been there, when you needed me…

Now I’m by myself, on my bended knees

Should have loved you, while I had the chance to…

Couldn’t realize that you were the truth

Should have shown you, what you meant to me…

Baby now I see, that you were my queen

Every single hour,

Of every single day, I

Miss you more and more,

Don’t know what to say, I

Know I closed the door,

Sent you on your way

And now you’re gone…

不要在寂寞的时候说爱我

2008-05-27T02:07:00.003+08:00

柔柔的晚风轻轻吹过
我的心情平静而寂寞
当我想忘记爱情去勇敢生活
是谁到我身边唱起了情歌
当初的爱情匆匆走过
除了伤口没留下什么
你总是在我寂寞流泪的时候
用你的双臂紧紧抱着我
不要在我寂寞的时候说爱我
除非你真的能给予我快乐
那过去的伤总在随时提醒我
别再被那爱情折磨
不要在我哭泣的时候说爱我
除非你真的不让我难过
我不想听太多那虚假的承诺
让我为爱再次后悔
犯下的错

当初的爱情匆匆走过
除了伤口没留下什么
你总是在我寂寞流泪的时候
用你的双臂紧紧抱着我
不要在我寂寞的时候说爱我
除非你真的能给予我快乐
那过去的伤总在随时提醒我
别再被那爱情折磨
不要在我哭泣的时候说爱我
除非你真的不让我难过
我不想听太多那虚假的承诺
让我为爱再次后悔
犯下的错

Its all about Character

2008-05-25T18:40:00.002+08:00

Met a frd who used to be in the force and had coffee as we talked abt past times and our recent conditions...

We joined the force when we were 15 going to 16, about a hundred plus of us... We discarded our sch Us and instead choose to don on the olive green garb. We traded our canvas shoes for full leather high cut boots. We forgo the privilege of stylable hairs and instead went for the cool botak heads. We lay down our pens and pencils and instead pick up guns. We threw away our caps and instead choose to have Jockey caps and berets....

We gave up being a student, a civilian and instead, choose to be a soldier.

We went places that a lot of people has never went before. Most of us were high flyers... We were tasked with the responsibilities of the lives of our men at a tender age.

This kind of life lasted for 7 years, more for some... Out of the hundred plus of us, only a few of us is still in the force now... The rest, either passed away or resign. I'm one of them...

We had power, authority and we are unchallenged when it comes it barking orders. At the age of around 19, we were leaders, commanders. We were SOMEBODY and not one to be reckon with.

However, all that change once we step out from the organization. We were NOBODY. We are lowly. A change of work environment screws up one life.

Its a change that we made and choose. Not being forced but a decision that we made ourselves. We realised that we were falling behind times and we cannot stay in our own world anmore. Yet, a lot of us, were totally unprepared for this transition. I'm NOT one of them.

When one steps out from a place where one holds power and authority, to a field where one is totally unfamiliar with, or has no knowledge on it, one has to bring oneself down, in order to learn and to climb. However, most of us cannot do that... They were to used to the life they had...

My friend, has left the force for around 4 years. Me, 2 years. When we enquire about our recent conditions, I was shocked to know that he has been drifting in and out of jobs for the last 4 years, never holding one steady job.

His reasons, he is not used to be a normal employee in a lowly position where he has to take orders and instructions. He wanted a position where he could stay as the same as last time. However, with his qualifications and his work experience, he wont be able to get what he wants...

When he knows what Im doing now, he is shocked and filled with envy. He asked me, how am I able to reconstruct my career within a short span of 2 years. I told him that I didn't took 2 years. I took 18 months. He then realised that what he had heard about me, destroying myself was true...

He then asked, what does he have to do, to have the results like me. I told him to remember one word... And that is Humble. I told him once he is humble, he can achieve a lot things. Never resist to take orders or instructions when it is he job. It allows him to learn and will also allow him to learn. By gaining more knowledge and experience, one can go far...

The Past, The Present and The Future

2008-05-25T02:43:00.004+08:00

Had a long discussion with Landy on MSN today... it started with work and then progress into frdly chat...

the topic of the earth quake came out and we share de same sad sentiments.... in these few days, we have seen all sadness, pain, the sense of loss....

a lot of them never get to see their loved ones after tat... most of them will never get de chance to say 'i love you' to each other ever again... be it parents to children or vis a vis, be it lovers... Be it those pple who liked each other but never had de courage to say it out...

its all over... they will never have this chance again... its a waste... if they are allowed one more chance, things might be different...

china deployed paratroopers so that they can access the quake stricken area faster than travelling on foot... one of the paratroopers send this sms to his gf...

'im going in to ground zero now... there is always danger all around. although i can don go, but i still went ahead. if i happen to 'stay' there, do not be sad, for you lose only one loved ones. the rest of the people there lost more than one. if i happen to 'stay' there, go back there when de city is rebuilt, do not ask where was i but look at de effort i have put in there for the people there.'

now how noble is this man! how many can do it like him? but its sad when heroes are born in the time of chaos...

时势造英雄，还是英雄造时势? Does history create heroes or does heroes create history?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from de quake, one realise how frail life is... you can be here today, gone tomolo... a lot of things undone, a lot things unsaid... a lot of feelings not being convey...

y shld one keep his/her feelings? its bcos we got no courage... it takes a lot of courage to tell someone ur feelings to another... one would always try to think of excuses to skip this process of baring one feelings...

不管是晴天、阴天、雨天，能见到你的一天，就是晴朗的一天；不管是昨天、今天、明天，能和你在一起的一天，就是美好的一天。爱就要勇敢表白，谁知道明天和意外哪个先来？

No matter whether is it a sunny day, cloudy day or rainy day. As long as i can see u, its a happy day. No matter whether is it yesterday or today, as long as i can spend my day with u, its a perfect day. If you loved someone, let them know... who knows which will come first... Tomorrow or Accident?

enough said... i think u all got my point...

When You Are Old And Gray - Tom Lehrer

2008-05-19T17:16:00.004+08:00

I came across this song on de net la... Funny la... Listen Listen~~~ i even had de lyrics!! LOL

Since I still appreciate you,
Let's find love while we may.
Because I know I'll hate you
When you are old and gray.

So say you love me here and now,
I'll make the most of that.
Say you love and trust me,
For I know you'll disgust me
When you're old and getting fat.

An awful debility,
A lessened utility,
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility.
In all probability
I'll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability,
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will lead to hostility
And a sense of futility,
So let's act with agility
While we still have facility,
For we'll soon reach senility
And lose the ability.

Your teeth will start to go, dear,
Your waist will start to spread.
In twenty years or so, dear,
I'll wish that you were dead.

I'll never love you then at all
The way I do today.
So please remember,
When I leave in December,
I told you so in May.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Meh, did u read de lyrics? LOL, isnt it the truth for a lot of pple who doesnt know wat real love is? hmmm come to think of it, this guy is singing de truth abt human nature... for both women and men! wahahah

but heck tats not for all pple ma hor? Especially pple like me! LOL

1 On 1 Meeting, friends, colleagues life and game?

2008-05-13T02:37:00.007+08:00

Had a one on one meeting with Sanjeev today... Talked about my future and my current role... They are pushing me to be a Business Analyst, so now im still a 'Backup' Business Analyst.. the issue of renumeration came up... he asked me how much i wan... rather than he define a ceiling for me, he decided to let me define my own ceiling...

I told him tat i will let him know on wednesday... but he knows tat im worth every penny being spent on... LOL

Sanjeev is looking at things in the long term... He does not wan me to stay in Data Analytics for too long, rather he wans me to advance... i told him tat im not looking at any management role but rather a specific role tat allows me to be an individual contributer as this wont restrict my circle of learning...

its hard to believe tat someone like who has an O lvl can climb this far... sanjeev says tat education is not a issue when it comes to de ability to work... however, he wans me to show more 'black faces' as this will help on a lot of things...

today officially working on dashboard... its crazy especially when u have to do data crunching... tried sending the file through email then realise tat its 9MB in size... Cool la! never tried having Excel sheet in such a big file...

Im officially starting work in Mac in de 18th. working 2 jobs is not bcos of $$... is to siam home... cos my mom a bit naggy la... u all know wat she nags abt by now... got my typhoid injection today... hand damn painful... later must take foto...

i suddenly realised tat i have taken interest in someone... but hor, i don know her so well la... so maybe see how lo... sometimes when thing advance too fast, its not good... also don know how to tell her... maybe tell her liao i buang, and will pai seh la...

things have been looking bright... been having good support from frds and co workers... a fine bunch of pple... crazy when having fun, serious when working... can also have fun during work...

we work hard, play hard, curse and swear real hard (Out of ear shot of course). we teased each other, support each other, spoke words of encouragement, tried to kill one another with sarcasm, go mad together while at work, bully one another, bully de boss and de boss bully us back...

our dept is not a normal dept which u see all ard any companies, with people holing in cubicles while planning how to plunge a 7 inch dagger through some other's back ( trust me, i went through tat before... ITS NOT FUN)

we are an ABNORMAL bunch. Yes, you read it right... ABNORMAL... Sanjeev is the Ringmaster (Circus), the zoo keeper (zoo), the Mental Institute Director (IMH), the Shepard (NA, He aint holy, WE are de scape goats when things go wrong... which is seldom) and the Bullet Proof Vest (When Soma starts her machine guns...)

so u can pretty guess how our dept is... not, its not chaotic, its not messy, its not crazy... it fun, its vibrant with communications and good ties all around everyone (Of cos theres clashes now and then, and a bit of bad blood here and there) , but hell yea, we still stay strong...

the new comers (3 of them) were pretty well behave... but yea, we are teaching them all de bad stuffs... HEY, thats wat Seniors are for! Aint tat right? LOL

life is finally showing light for me... after 6 months of self destruct (last yr), im picking myself up faster than expected... its moving very fast... coming to 1 yr already... it has never been easy to come this far, especially after falling so hard... but, the harder u fall, the higher u bounce (I got enough fats to do tat!) so im trying to go places where i have never go before this time rd... To the infinity and beyond~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOL

today larling (she call me LARDling) say i chubby! so happy la! She is gonna be my would be colleague soon... on the 18th... its funny on how she call me LARDling and i call her larling...

know her online when she was going by de IGN Halleluyah... Then XBB (Xiao Blade Blade aka Blade Aka King, Tois gave him tat name and we follow suit!) call her sotong... from then on, she WAS King's sotong... (Don know abt now...) Ruff called her Halle, i type her IGN type until pek chek... Too long la... then decided to call her Char bor... then she call me Tar bor...

ling ling long long a bit and bcos of a game mode and some teasing, started to call her larling and i got stuck with LARDling... Along de way came tois, then she become tois's Darlie and he become her Darling...

along de way (again) came Special, call call till become whale and dolphin... my old mates in MoH still call me Gui, chinese for ghostie... Useless aka PY and Hermi aka Eve managed to adapt well to my new found IGN, train... tois called me the toilet guardian (Cos he wear all blue and i wear all red), the GF (Good Friend) and the worst he could ever call me was GAY (due to me not having a Girl Friend)...

XBB can never call me by my 1st name... he jus only know train... and today he is officially labled GAY cos he keeps on going to the gym... And he got a damn GL face... LOL... then we have Gal ( not de one in de foto...) and dancii who somehow stumbled into us... fun and crazy pple... lol

somehow a stray cow ventured too near to us (Moo Moo) and she tio the mad cow disease (from us of course!)... Also kee qia liao (Gone Case) gone mad with us... LOL

PY started de idea of wearing a 1 color suit... she spent 60k or 600k on her outfit (i forgot how much, but i know she was screaming murder all for it), dressed herself in all red... LOL.. then we decided to follow suit... i got myself all red also... spent like 300k on it... Tois and Gal both got blue, with Gal having an additional white...

XBB was de one tat goes 'EEEEEE! Simi Sai' then after tat joined us in de crazy parade. he is also de top dresser with around 6 colors to change to... he went fanatic over it and called us de Power Rangers... YEA, POWER RANGERS... Dotz, fancy a young adult to come up with something like tat... tois labeled us the toilet guardians...

Hell yea, we had fun... bang wall moments, cut throat moments, 'i hate u and u hate me' moments... dao pple and tio pple dao moments, brain lag, hand lag moments, ji tao ben dan moments, stoning moments, kee siao moments and abnormal moments... suanning sessions are a daily affair... if theres not any tinge of sourness in any convo tat day, then de end of the world is coming... LOL

FUN LA~~~~~ I love life...

PS: i know u will be reading this... so guess who is the one im interested in... LOL AND TOIS, IT IS NOT YOU! LOL

Mothers Day

2008-05-11T21:21:00.002+08:00

went to JUJU for dinner... almost die stuffing ourselves... everyone enjoy la... hehehe

Sleepless

2008-05-11T04:58:00.001+08:00

well, i cant fall aslp... so i decided to work on the story that i have left it for a long long time... as i work on the story, a sense of nostalgic came washing over me.

it made me think back on the day that i have met the old man, the old man's daughter and most importantly, it made me think of my dad...

I know i sound like an emo freak! but duh, hell im not... its jus tat, at this kind of time, when u are all alone, listening to the sounds of the nite, feelings that u don feel normally, will kinda creep up...

to a lot of pple, im a happy go lucky guy. a guy who got no cares, no worries and doesnt give 2 hoots abt things.

to some pple, im someone who is strong, can be depended on as a pillar when things doesnt turn right.

to some minority, im someone who can carry the whole world on my shoulders.

Strong as hell, carefree, solid front, as if nothing in the world will bring me down...

all these, all of these, are jus one part of me. One side...

im one hell of a sentimental freak... i do cry, although very very little pple has seen tat... (cos i only cry in VERY VERY RARE OCCASIONS!)

im a softie... i cannot do nothing when i see an elder selling tissues, or setting up a small stall selling things jus to make a living.... trust me, i ever paid $4 for 2 packets of tissues..

im an idiot when it comes to the affairs of the heart... i think tats widely known? i always give 101% to any relationship... hell yea, who cares abt it anyway...

im weak, seriously weak... i have always hope i can always find someone who i can depend on, lean on, but it seems tat up to now, i still don have one?

i have been struggling to walk on the path of life, alone. I have once, found someone who is willing to walk the road with me, but things don turn out right in the end...

i am a court jester, a clown, an entertainer, a comedian. but does anyone knows that pple like us actually yearn to have someone ard us? we brought laughter to pple ard us, but at our own expenses... how many of them know abt it? and actually appreciate it?

today, dolphin ask me, how come im working so hard... i told her its bcos i wan to siam match making sessions... which is half true... the other half, is not to allow feelings like this to creep on me...

cos if it happens, wat i might do is jus to grab de person i really like and smooch her! and then tell her tat i like her... okie the word 'like' is a bit weak, maybe smooch liao say 'I love you'?

guess she might slap me ba? but the thing is, the 'she' has not appear yet... so i cant jus grab anyone and smooch... i will get prosecuted!

and hell yea, I AM FREAKING SHY DE LA... dotz... this is no joke de... really... >_<

hell, this is one emotional post... dotz... totally wayward from my usual self...

Bad Bad News

2008-05-09T17:01:00.004+08:00

the news was very unexpected... Sanjeev said that Soma freeze our dept budget till Oct... which means, no OT claims for Taxi fares (we got no Ot pay de.. only can claim taxi fare), no new staffs coming in, no new conversions, pay raise is till pending, no new resources...

hiaz... no new resources means and no new staffs means we are going to work ourselves to death with no claims on taxi fares... demoralized... i ask for a meeting with Sanjeev 30% for this issue and 70% for some other issues.. But he is more busy than me lo! DoTz... he is suppose to sit down and look important only lo!

Went Arena, bcos its Dolphin's bday... Went with ashley bcos i don know my freaking way ard CQ... I DON CLUB DE! Ashley also join in the fun with me...

Running, no more walking

2008-05-08T03:00:00.000+08:00

had a short conversation with deepak today... it seems tat im starting to take over a Business Analyst job... Sanjeev sent a mail asking me to take over the HR Dashboard by july... Rex is hinting to me that my raise will be quite high after my performance review, which is at june...

Its certainly beyond my expectations since i jus took over this position not so long ago. compared to everyone, im a new guy... yet my advancement is taking a few of them by storm, creating stir, making some of them, red eyed...

Rex is very determined to keep me out of HR... for wat reasons, im not sure... and deepak is very very determined to keep me out of HR too... bcos he wans me to stay in Data Analytic... He has been complaining to Rex that i still spend quite a bit of time, handling HR issues...

aiya no matter wat, they are going to make me go to another dept soon...

Meeting O.o

2008-05-06T19:57:00.002+08:00

Deepak and Rex today ask for a meeting with me. They wanted me to narrow down my job scope as I have been taking on too much work for these past few weeks. Im working too hard...

Deepak was complaining to Rex that my time is still being taken up by Korea. I told him that Im still training Ashley for Payroll to General Ledger process, I can only give up Korea once Ashley is confident of handling Korea alone, without my help...

They wan me to concentrate on my current scope cos its critical... But they wan me to get prepared for something else, which is coming soon... Another totally new field tat i have never step in before...

Its exciting la! cos its totally new wor... can learn new things! i love de process of working from bottom up!

its a process of self learning , its another process of knowing wat one self can do, how good can one do and how good one can be.

its also a test of mental strength, a test of one's capability, one's adaptiveness.

The process of climbing de ladder is one exhilarating process! its shows one self how much effort one has put in, how much one is willing to put in.

Everytime is a new life experience, a new learning experience, a new experience of self discovering...

Safari Vest and Iron Man

2008-05-04T18:41:00.000+08:00

My Dad...

2008-05-01T20:14:00.000+08:00

My mama preached abt my future jus now... She said tat my cousin (de blind date) is a undergraduate. She is de same age as me, yet she is a finance manager now... My mama says tat if i have not quit army for 'her', (NOT MY COUSIN, SOMEONE ELSE) i will be very successful today...

Instead, I give up army, which i had slogged so hard for... From someone issue orders to someone who has to take orders from others... My mama say i stupid... say i throw face...

I told her tat after i left army, I have been successful before wor... She saw it herself, she even say its good tat i have left de army...

My mama says that, all de more i shld go back to wat i have been doing previously. But i don wan... too much work, responsibilities, so less time, even though de $ is good... my mama ask me to go back to study... i tell my mama tat she knows i cannot study de... i only know how to work my up de...

Then she scold me again, for giving up everything i had worked for previously... I tell my mama tat papa says tat life experience is more important... Career can come 2nd... My mama tell me not to listen to my dad... she say my dad bull shit de...

But i tell mama tat even though dad never had a career to talk about, (He is not in any supervisory role, not in any management role, he basically is a worker all his life...) never draw those obsence amount of salary, yet he managed clear off Uncle debts 4 times, bring up 2 'Worst case scenarios' boys, never have to let my mama work, paid for the 4 rm HDB flat in full...

He gave us a good life, never allowed us to go hungry, have dinner outside every sunday... Got a plasma TV, home surround system... got 2 tvs, 1 for mom and 1 for bro... we got cable, internet, he got my brother a computer...

He got no career to talk abt... never once he lamented that he can have a better life if he has done tat or done this... Its very hard for a normal person to do all this... Let alone my dad...

My dad is not ordinary... he is not any normal man that you see walking normally on de street...

My Dad is a Polio victim... The disease destroy the use of his right leg... His right leg is thin like a stick... Basically, just bones and skin... His muscle wasted away...

But hell, he is a strong man... He never played on his handicapped... Instead, he show alot of pple tat he is as good as any normal man... If not, better...

I know alot of his frds, colleagues as I used to play alot at his workplace when i was kid... They always tell me that my dad is not someone to be trifle with... Even though they call him 'Bai kar', a hokkien term for walking with a lame leg, its a term that they call him with respect, not ridiculation...

They told me that even though my dad walks with a limp, he doesnt require help in anything he do... They say tat his skills are superb and they cant do without him most of de time...

My dad, is a mechanic for heavy machinery...

I told mama tat she might think tat watever dad has said to me might be bullshit to her, but to me, dad would not say anything tats bullshit if it is not feasible...

but my mama, she says tat no gals would wan a man with no career... i tell mama tat if no gals wan me, then so be it... i tell mama to look at herself, my dad, my bro and me... and watever is ard her...

Then i ask her..

"Ma, when u fall in love with dad, is it bcos of his career and money? Or is it bcos of who he is?"

My mama laugh damn loud! she says tat my dad has no career and $ to speak of...

"Yea lo... but u still married him wor... and see wat dad has done... not everyone can do things like him de wor...."

my mom went quiet... she actually cried a bit... she knows wat my dad says is true la...

A man doesnt need to have a career to be successful... its wat he had done in life, his experiences in life tat counts for everything... Its the people tat he has touched in life, the pple who he has influenced, and the people who have influence him... its these pple tat bear witness to wat a man he is and how successful in life...

Once, the parents of my best frd commented on my determination in life... They asked me wat had made me so determined in life...

I told them, I grew up watching my Dad's back...

Dolphin? Whale?

2008-05-01T19:20:00.001+08:00

Okie, after contemplating for a few days, i decided to tell Whale that she should not be whale as im more bigger in size. So i told her tat she will be de dolphin and i will be de whale...

Then she so funny ask why la... I told her tat i bigger in size ma, so call her dolphin and im called whale... LOL

She said okie la but after tat i still got call her whale sometimes lo... Funny la...

Hahaha

2008-04-30T12:27:00.000+08:00

Am not in a very good mood today. in fact, im in a freaking bad mood today... Maybe my tolerance level is dropping for those pple who took my high level of tolerance for granted...

When i don say anything, tat doesnt mean tat i feel nothing. i jus don wan to throw ur face only.
you freaking asked me for help, yet u don wan to listen to my advice, don wan to work on de way on how it shld be, then you KNN jia li hai, say this say tat, THEN TELL ME TO SHUT UP, then when things don work, YOU SAY I SCREW UP, when i tell u tat you are de one who did not listen, YOU SAID TAT I TEACH YOU DE WRONG STUFF!

HOW TO TEACH YOU WHEN YOU DON WAN TO LISTEN? since you so smart, you ahead and do lo... call me for wat? IF YOU WAN TO SHOW ME TAT YOU ARE BETTER THAN ME. THEN I TELL YOU, YOU FAILED MISERABLY AND YOU MADE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF WHEN YOU ASK THE TECH TEAM TO BE DE JUDGE!

In case YOU do not know, TECH TEAM COME TO ME MOST OF DE TIME FOR HELP! So, get your freaking knowledge corrected before trying to show off your STUPIDILITY!

You got NO freaking right to throw YOUR TEMPER at ME when YOU realised that YOU ARE NOT UP TO DE MARK. YOU GOT NO FREAKING RIGHT TO SHOW ME YOUR DISPLEASURE WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO GET THINGS DONE AND ESPECIALLY, WHEN YOU ASK ME FOR HELP...

You DESERVED the SCOLDING I GAVE YOU JUS NOW. So now shut up and go one corner and cry!

NA BU EH DOLPHIN NOT IN A NA BU EH GOOD MOOD!

Yea, I realised the true meaning of this phrase today. No matter how strong a man can be, he still needs love. Even the toughest man on earth, still have a place for emotions...

No matter how tough he is in exterior, there will come a time, when the feeling for someone to be beside him come...

Some people just don like to show how empty their heart is... Some people just choose not to think about it... Some, hide it away, and throw away all sights of it.

However, it does crept out every now and then, reminding that one individual, that this void, cannot be ignored...

An individual can only do so much to hide, yet, sometimes, unforeseen situation and uncontrollable factors do exposed him to the elements... With no place to hide, almost like a naked heart...

An individual who live alone, is call a loner.. People who choose to lead the path of life in the way they decided. There are loners in which world, which walk this path of life, not by choice, but rather choiceless....

The feeling will pass soon, after all, this isnt the 1st time it came and it wont be de last time... But it will go back to hiding once again..

Personality Test

2008-04-16T11:23:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, I went to re-read the results of a test that I did last time... These are the results...

You are a Leader

Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

Your independent streak allows you to make decisions efficiently and to trust your instincts

You are balanced in your approach to problem-solving, not letting your emotions hold you up.

Never one to be found in chic boutiques or trendy clothing stores, you take an extremely practical approach to getting dressed.

The control you feel over your life is empowering to you-- you believe in your abilities and acknowledge your shortcomings. Explanations of the world that focus on destiny or fate don't really interest you. You take responsibility for what goes wrong in your life, and also for what goes well.

how you relate to others

You are Advocating

Being social, empathic, and understanding makes you ADVOCATING.

Some people find being around others exhausting—but not you! You are energized by spending time with friends, and you are good at meeting new people.

One of the reasons you enjoy conversation as much as you do is that you often learn about yourself while talking things out with a friend; you realize things about your own beliefs while discussing them with others.

You have insight into what others are thinking and feeling. This ability allows you to be happy for others, and to commiserate when something has gone wrong for them.

You are highly compassionate, and being conscious of how things affect those close to you leaves you cautious about trusting others too hastily.

Despite these reservations, you are open-minded when it comes to your worldview; you don't look to impose your ways on others.

Your sensitivity towards others' plights contributes to an understanding—both intellectual and emotional—of many different perspectives.

As someone who understands the complexities of the world around you, you are reluctant to pass judgments.

Okie, I read and RE-READ a few more times... some of what it said doesnt feel

so... right... LOL, it aint really very accurate anyway since its a website thing... But heck, i will leave de judgements to u guys... LOL
