Keep yourself going? why?

I don't really know what to write actually. I feel so tired after work everyday. Working non stop like.. like.. the working ants?

Everyday after work, got home, on my PC and starts to compile report and then the next day 6 something the whole cycle begins again. ARGHHHH !!!
The bosses say.. it's only temporary.. these few months are the peak period that's why we are working non stop.. but I have been working like this for almost half a year if i'm not wrong!

Anyway... feel like taking a long break. Wanted to go for a holiday.. but where?? no $$. AHAHAHA. The air ticket is extremely expensive especially the airport tax. If only I have enough money to fly to Europe... ahhhh..... ^^

Well, stop dreaming and back to reality. Do you hate yourself when you are working non stop? Yes.. do you feel like punching someone when customer keeps complaning non stop? Definitely.. but when we are so stress, the best medicine to keep us motivated is that .. take out all your bills , may it be utilities bill, or telephone bill. Look at it..look at the figure and then you will know why you have to go to work tomorrow. This is the best way to keep you motivated to go to work. Trust me, it works.

Rain Rain

It has been raining the whole day.. non-stop.. I'm in my room now and it's cold, nice to sleep, to tuck under my blanket. Just thinking to update my blog since I have not update it for so long. I got nothing special to talk about.... Let's talk about the rain???

I like rainy days.. of course not too heavy rain till floods everywhere, but I like those rain which are tiny drops and erm... what's the word to describe... compact? heavy?? tiny drops and many drops? Whatever la..

I enjoy walking under the rain to be honest... and I don't mind stepping on puddles of water. But I know many people hate rain, hate the mud, hate the wet floor. Well, I don't really like wet floor either, but I like the feeling of the raindrops and the fresh surrounding after the rain. (take a deep breath).. ahh~~~ opppss.. just farted. =S

Listening to music while typing this and chatting with some friends... I really feel good. heheh... Just went karaoke last week and sing our heart out. Sorry to those waitress and the people who walked by our room and have to bear with the noise pollution, but I felt so good after singing.. It has been so so long since I had the last karaoke session. Thinking to do it again pretty soon. Any kaki? =D

The day someone almost died

Today in the office, someone almost died just like in the movie Final Destination. Let me tell you the story but you might not find it interesting due to my lack of story telling skill.

It all started with our internal meeting. All of us seated with the projector on and we pulled down the projector screen. And of course, after the meeting, we chit chat a little and as I walk pass the projector screen, I pulled it and let it go so that the screen will roll up back to the ceiling.

I continue to walk back to my screen and I heard a loud "thud". Evelyn, who is walking in front of me stopped and look back.. The horror on her face is indescribable... everthing seems to slow down and I look back, Jean's mouthed a speechless big "O".. The projector screen is falling 360 degree to the server, just in between Jean and I. The screen landed on the server and a monitor with a another loud bang.. Lucky thing Jean and I managed to give way to the screen just in time before it knocks our head. Or else... I will not be typing this now.

It's not everyday we came across the moments where someone almost died. So I find today kinda ermm... lucky?? HAHAHA. whatever... anyway, thank god no one get hurt except the monitor who got hit on the head.

Lip Reading

I'm in a middle of a meeting now with a group of people who definitely has the skill of lips reading. They are talking to softly that I can't hear a thing!! So now pretending I'm listening intensely to what they say, I'm actually writing this blog. At first I thought I'm deaf... but no, I can hear my keyboard sound.. Then I thought it's their moustache blocking the voice that came out from their mouth.. But no!!! They are actually whispering to one another on how to program the search engine... ahh.. let my boss handle it. When it comes to development, then only I start to stress.

It is very important to learn how to do lip reading. I have strained my ear when I finally gave up and try to guess what they are talking about from their lips. So congratulations to myself, now I know when people say the word "OhhHH" from their lips.

Hope this meeting not going to be long...

It has been a year!

365 days ago, today, I just started my life in Singapore and I'm actually staying somewhere else. I still remember very vividly the day I step onto Singapore, holding a map searching desperately for the nearest MRT and go for interview and start my life on the 15th October 2006. On this day, I met a very helpful taxi driver. This uncle has helped me all the way during my stay here without expecting anything in return nor he expect me to remember his good deeds.

I managed to survive till today, there are 3 person I must thank. First, Samuel, my friend who helped me to settle down in Singapore despite he doesn't know me very well. I get to know "street directory" from him, get a clearer view of Singapore life from his advise and he too, a friend who doesn't ask for anything in return. Secondly, the taxi driver uncle who helped me without asking for a cent and sometimes he sounded just like my father who asked me not to roam around at night. Thirdly, I want to thank Sugi for helping me when I faced financial difficulties.

Living my life here, I did expect the road to be long and winding but I never thought it was a bumpy ride. I'm glad now everything has became much smoother and I'm living a good life here.

Millions of thanks to my friends who non-stop introducting friends to me even though you guys are far away in northen Malaysia. I get to know many caring and nice friends. ;) And many thanks for giving me a call every now and then. Not forgetting my very best friend, Vivian who has been with me every ups and downs in my life. Miss you so much!! Muaks!

And not forgetting the guys who non-stop introducing "potential boyfriend" for me, thanks for your concern on my personal life and my potential other half. Unfortunately, it didn't work out because :
1) Some of them are younger than me
2) Some of them can't speak English nor Chinese
3) Some of them pat my back as hard as they pat their brothers (thank god i'm alive)
4) Some of them asked if i'm lesbian
5) 1 of them asked me to address him as Grace instead of Gary. (Do you have a grenade? Throw it over)
