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)

Not my day
I had a bad day today.... a horrible day!!!! (playing the song 'I had a bad day.. da da da da~').
Early in the morning a customer called and started to scold and I still half awake, not knowing why. Then only I realized... she got frustrated as there's something wrong with the corporate website. Then I checked for her and ended up it's actually her mistake. Feeling "pai seh" herself for scolding me without apparent reason, she started to point the arrow to her colleague, saying her colleague is the one who made the changes. What a b***h!!!!. Then to hide her "pai-seh-ness", she started to find fault with me regarding the font size, line spacing, etc etc. Oh My God!!!! Just because you dislike the font size and you are screaming at me?????!!!!
I get so pissed off and I told her, I will get back to you later. Maybe because she's having her PMS, she asked "Are you dedicated to work on our website? Don't you know how to do it?" . I really want to tell her off, you can complain to my boss and ask for another engineer. I will be more than happy not to serve you. She's having Post Menstrual, I guess I'm having pre-menstrual. I go to my boss and told him, how about delegating this project to someone else since I have so many other projects to handle. But my boss just say no-no, just ignore her. Heard from my boss that she is just someone from low level position. Not that I want to look down on her, but... what rights do you have to scream at me early in the morning because you dislike the font size??!!!!
I checked my email... got an email from this b***h. She was complaining about an error.. And she CC her bosses and mine and few other people from outer space. Good!!! Found out that the error is her own mistake!!! And how happy I am to shoot back the email. muahahahahha...
So I replied and went for my meeting. In the evening, back in the office, another email from her. She said she realized that the website keep changing everyday and there is inconsistency in the website. Keep changing???? Information change, of cause display will change!!!!! And if it's actually drastic changes, I think she better go home or perhaps go to church, temple, pray pray... Coz I obviously didn't do any major changes. Maybe she should get a shaman, or medium... or a man...
Grrrrr.... anyway... after that I went to have dinner with my friend. By the time I finish shooting the email here and there, it's almost 7. Felt so much better after that. Finished whole bar of chocolate today... fuh!!!!! What a day! Never get irritated so much.
Now.. time to sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day~ =D Everyday is a brand new day. If this lady called again to find fault.. I will try to be funny with her. Will not let anyone like her to spoil my mood again. Nite nite!!!

Cisco Express Exhibition
I'm typing this blog as I am in the middle of exhibition. We are suppose to demo our company's products. Now everyone is in a special room listening to our sales manager demo-ing the application. So here I am, almost fall asleep here while waiting for the group of people to come out.
With me here is Dennis, our network engineer who set up the environment, and Donny, the sales person, and a part timer, named Samuel cum Bernard. In our company calendar, he's known as Sam. So I keep addressing him as Samuel, till just a moment ago he said "errr..... actually.... my name is not Sam. I am Bernard. Samuel is sick last minute". OOoooohhhh....
The food here is quite good. hehehehe.. there's this guy kinda cute next to our booth. Muahahahha.
-- Edited this post to add in this section --
My boss came to visit our booth late in the afternoon. Bernard stood up and said "You must be Samuel! " ..My boss said "I thought you are Samuel". I quickly chipped in and introduce them to one another. =.= . What a confusion. But at least I get some entertainment from both of them. =p
It's almost 4pm now. Waiting for Dennis to come over to clear up the network stuff. I just finish playing some internet game and then this Donny showing me the picture of Sam. He said better looking than Bernard. They purposely find good looking guys. HAHAHA.
And that's all for our boring day. Gonna stuck here till evening.. zzzZZZzzzz

Company Sports Day
Someone, somehow suggested to have a day as company sports day. Which is a good thing actually. Just that I'm a bit lazy to exercise together with... the boss. And so..... we decided to go roller blading or cycling at the east coast park. Erm... thinking to jog instead. I can do only little roller blading and I can't cycle!!! The worst is that nobody believes I can't cycle. There's a saying.. not sure proven by whom.. "If you can ride motorcycle, there's no reason you can't cycle". The way they are saying this is like "If you can drive a car, you can drive a truck" or "you can eat with your mouth and you must be able to eat with your nose".
Well, my saying is that "If you can ride a motorcycle and can't cycle, just keep your mouth shut and don't tell people you can ride a motorcycle". Anyway, it's a good chance to learn cycling too. Let me tell you why if a person knows how to ride motorcycle not necessary knows how to cycle.
*Ehem ehem* *cough cough*
First of all, I would like to thank my papa mama , bla bla bla.... I'm so thankful to be able to stand on this stage...
*tomato thrown* bishhhh!
Ok so, actually a bicycle has two tyres and a motorcycle has 2 tyres. And so why can't you cycle ? Actually I do not know. Just feel that with the engine running, it's easier to balance. I don't have good balancing skill. Probably bcoz I'm tall and so my balancing point, which is the belly button is higher above the ground, compare to those people who are shorter, and their belly button is nearer to the ground which makes a person easier to balance.
Why is it call belly button by the way. It doesn't look like a button... AT ALL. Who's belly button looks like a button? You? Let me see. ermm.. I can't find your belly button. All I see is only the belly.

Warning : This image is not my belly button. I took this from google image search.
And belly button is definitely not as cute as a button. Ermm.. why people always say "as cute as a button". Button is not cute. In which area is the button is cute?? The number of holes in the button? (trying to imagine a button) . Nope, it's still doesn't look cute to me. A button is a button. WHat's so cute about it??!!!
Enough crap for tonight. Shall continue to crap next time.
