415. preparation

Quote of the day: 雨过应该就会天晴吧……

I'm not working today, so do I do? Yes, prepare my resume again. It's ready now and what's left is tendering from my current and search for a new job.

After some serious discussion with mum, we've decided not to get a puppy. There's seriously no time to look after the poor soul when all of us are at work. We wouldn't want to let the poor puppy alone at home, barking to the walls. There's also no much of spare cash for the pup. Cash for doctor, vaccinations and any other stuff. We barely have enough for ourselves. So, having a puppy seems to be out of the question.

I still need to get a new handphone pouch. It's catch is damaged. But the weather just doesn't seems good for shopping. Oh well...

414. the letter

Rant of the day: I have butterflies in my stomach.

The letter is ready.

I've put the letter is in the envelope.

I wanted to pass it to my supervisor today but it's not a good day today, so shall save it for 1st March.

The letter is in my file now.

I'm thinking of what to tell my supervisor.

My heart has been pumping the entire day.

Damn...

Anyway, that's what been going on today but it's just not the right day to give the bad news to my boss. The service level had crashed quite terribly today and I think he had some really bad shit from his boss. So if I give him the letter today, think he might not be able to sleep soundly. I could still wait till 1st March anyway. I've been thinking the entire day of what he might ask and how should I answer.

"Hi VJ, I know it's not the right day but I have to pass you this."
"I'm really so sorry that I couldn't contribute any further."
"Well, the root comes from the wanting to further my studies. I don't want to stop at diploma."
"Planning to do my degree at SIM."
"Degree in Mass Communication offered by RMIT."
"Part time."
"I know about START Programme by our company but due to distance from home to work then to school, it's too much for me to take. And also on shift work, even if you put me permanent morning, I cannot take it. I don't want to screw up the company, my work and my studies."
"So, I think it's time to look for an office hour job."
"Yes, I hate to leave you guys but..."
"Thanks VJ. Will do my best in studies. Can I have a testimonial?"
"Ya, I'll still do as much as I can in this while."

I can so see what we can talk about... Hope it really goes this way. My final email is already ready in my Outlook Draft folder.

413. enough

Rant of the day: I hate working on afternoon shifts, especially on weekends!

I can't wait to quit. I'm so looking forward to find a new job and move on. It's at a point of my life where it says "enough means enough". I had enough of so many things at work. Enough of stupid peps calling in, screaming at the top of their voice. Enough of doing rubbish follow ups where you already know the stupid outcome from Finance department. Enough of getting irritating buggers calling in for freebies where it's getting too much. Enough of supervisors aiming at me, "hoping" that I will volunteer for more OTs.

So, I've decided to call a quit and put an end to everything. I change is needed. I'm not tied down to any commitment like many married man in my department. I'm free to go and choose.

The resignation letter is ready for print. Dear, remember to help me print ok? I'll give the letter on 1st March. Suddenly, I just felt so happy about the whole idea of leaving.

After the day at MoS, seems like dear had a lil too much alcohol and her throat is affected quite badly. Drink more water ok? Rest more also. Don't talk too much also. Seeing your throat aches, my heart aches too... Lesson learnt -- Control the alcohol intake. It can burn your throat.

412. 夜店狂欢

Rant of the day: Shucks! I haven't type my resignation letter!

经过好久，昨晚终于又回到认识dear的地方--MoS，本地其中一所大规模的夜店。刚好是南大（NTU）的hall bash，所以通过轩安的帮忙，以较低价的票跟dear进入MoS。经过一晚的闪烁霓虹灯和喧闹的音乐，观察到在夜店“水昆”（混）的人类。

穿着不搭的人
很明显，因为一眼望过去就觉得穿着怪怪的。要不就是外套不搭体恤，不然就是腰带不搭牛仔。看上去就觉得有一点趣味。

灌别人醉的人
这种人最“王八”，好好地把别人灌醉。因为就想看人家醉的模样，好让以后有话题来讲。

被别人灌醉的人
一个字--衰！完蛋了啦！在女孩面前丢脸，在朋友面前被玩得没尊严。以后就是大家的饭前饭后的话题和笑柄。

会跳舞的人
也是很明显的人类，因为就会就地取材，到处都是舞池。“浩脸”的还会大展身手，当场跟人钢舞。有一点无聊。跳舞就跳舞吗，还要来炫耀。厉害就去参加Dancefloor比赛咯。在这里跳能赢钱吗？

不会跳舞的人
这个更明显！一些不会跳得干脆就站在一旁喝酒。另外一些就还想猛跳，节奏与节拍都拿捏不到，一气之下就乱乱摇。摇的如果还不错火势很性感也就罢了，但一些摇到真得让人很想吐！一层层赘肉在猛抖！OMG！

性感出击的人
穿着性感，应人瞩目。紧身群不是短得要命，就是干脆不穿包得到肉的上衣，有穿等于没穿。让男人看了喷鼻血，想入非非。

来找“性”的人
以“红毛”人居多。大家不相识，只用一杯酒或一只烟就能搞上床。方法实际又便宜，好过去召妓。但方式应该多变化了吧。

来狂欢的人
叫到天旋地转，好像世界末日要来了。

来社交的人
大多是房屋经济，保险经纪或是商人。开了酒又不喝，明显要显示自己的大方。事后就分名片，希望能从中招生意，打捞一笔。

化妆吓死人的人
很多女孩都不知道，因为化了妆后往往会认为自己最美。旁人看了，如果是陌生人，看了就走。如果是朋友，看了也不好意思说。

以上是个人的观察啦。你能只是其中一种，也能是以上的综合体。不信有空去看一看吧！

411. rate yourselves

Rant of the day: It's my mistake. I shouldn't have asked...

Irma that day asked us a question -- between 1 to 10, with 1 as the lowest and 10 as the highest points, how much do you rate yourself? So I shamelessly rated myself 7. Haha. Hey, I'm being humble ok. I could have rated myself 9! Oops!

Well, I mean I do get gals AND guys looking at me, not that kind of disgusted looks ok. So I assume that I still possess a certain amount of charm. DON'T YOU DARE TO PUKE! Haha...

So how much do you rate yourselves?

Don't feel like writing more now. Not in da mood. Just got scolded early in the morning.

410. work on cny

Rant of the day: Haiz, I'm back at work on the second day of CNY! How shitty can it be!

I'm blogging now in office from Nicholas's laptop now. Thanks Nic. So now I really feel like buying 1 laptop. So anyone wish to contribute to "Buy Rice a Laptop Fund"? Haha...

But I'm really sleepy now. Woke up early this morning to get ready for prayers at temple for grandpa. Then back to aunt's place for lunch. Slacked for a while and back to work. Gracias Thomas for sending me to work. Anyway, he's my cousin. Single and available. Heehee.

Mum is thinking about dear's proposal for the adoption for a puppy. She's so tempted, so am I. It's "ah pek" dog! I don't know how to spell the formal name la but pronouce as "shi-nau-zer" la. Haha. I'm also very tempted too but we are just too afraid that we can't take good care of the dog. So should we? Hmmmmm...

Took some photos from my new K800i and it's like OMG, quality is so good! Will upload when I have the time to edit since I'll be tendering soon, so I'll have more time la! Heehee. Ok, back to work now. All guys are in now for work. Sianz...................

409. k800i blues

Quote of the day: “猪”你新年快乐，万事如意。

Happy Chinese New Year everyone. It's a brand new lunar year ahead and hope everything goes well.

Anyway, I was released from work early yesterday because the SL was pretty good and we had a lil balloting to draw who can take the half day leave. Fortunately, I got it. First time in my job I got the ballot man! Which was good, so that I can resolve the stupid issue with my new K800i.

Finally, I've got the phone in my grasp now but initially, I was so upset because there were some unremovable icons on my screen. Thinking that my phone might be damaged, I brought the phone back to the shop yesterday and after so much effort, we finally realised that it's not a phone problem, but my sim card problem. So happens that my previous sim was the older batch of 3G sim and there had been reports on such icons but now, it's finally resolved! Woohoo!

The camera is damn good man! 3.2mp and comes with auto flash. So be gone the good old days of the glaring light from phones. Got it at $138 after trade in my K750i.

Ok, first day of CNY but wouldn't be too busy this year since nobody at home is really celebrating.

408. troubles with dads

Rant of the day: It's hard to please the old man.

Why do I like so foresee a bad relationship with dear's dad in the future? I'm just so not an uncles man. Yes, I'm actually a very aunties man. Aunties seems to like me more. Haha. Hmmmmm. But with dear's dad in particular, it's really annoying when the things you do just not being appreciated.

I've been trying my best not to piss him off but it's not working. So, I'm not going to try anymore. So what's his problem with me? Am I the problem or is it the other way round? Whatever la. Just can't understand what's his problem with me... I didn't do anything wrong right? Is it that I'm not rich to match? Or is it that I don't come from a complete family? Or does he perceive that I'm a drug smuggler? Haha...

I mean I don't smoke, neither do I drink heavily or gamble. In fact, drinking is only a social interaction and I don't even bet at all. I don't cheat. I don't splurge and even if I do, I splurge on her daughter for goodness sake.

On festive seasons like CNY, it's only a good gesture of buying CNY goodies to each others elders. And noting that I'm not celebrating CNY this year due to my grandpa's demise, it's just a courteous move. Fine if he don't like what I've bought but he really doesn't need to add on sentences like "it's not for us but for you (referring to dear)" or "I'm going to scold him by the way". Scold me for? What a mood spoiler!

I sense trouble in the future. But that's not stopping me from loving dear... =D

Does all dads handles daughter's relationship this way? Share with me your experience and tell me what should I do.

407. valentines day

Rant of the day: I'm so tired, so sleepy...

How's your Valentines' Day today? I feel like I'm back to where we started. Cineleisure Pasta Mania. Difference is this time round, it involves flowers. But pricing leaps like hell during this season man! It's worth it actually when you get to see the smile on your love ones.

Orchard Road is damn packed today. And I only reached there like 8.30pm and yet it's still bustling with peps everywhere!

Gonna be back for my off day OT tomorrow and then collection of my new spectacles! Woohoo! It cost me $168, so it betta be nice. Haha. Anyway it's claimable from office la. Oops!

406. wonderful day

Quote of the day: 百年修得同舟渡，千年修得共枕眠。

Yiu Fei's wedding photo album is so nice. When will it be my turn? Her hubby look like Jeff Chang (张信哲) in the photos. Gals, stop drooling. He's officially taken up. So change your target to me me me me me! Haha. But hor, I'm also taken la but not official yet, so you can still keep your fantasies on me! Haha! But somehow I think is the camera's angle problem that Yiu Fei suddenly look a bit plump. Please lor, she's soooooooooo skinny in real life! And how come in some photos she look like Selina from S.H.E?

Today is quite a wonderful day. So much so that callers seems pretty nice to me. Well, perhaps because it's closer to Chinese New Year and they've decided to treat peps better for this time being. Well, hope it last longer. But it's pretty busy today. Calls just keeps coming in on the early part and the final 3 hours of the day. Kill me man! Answer calls NON-STOP!

Also, HR have sent out our graduity entitlement today! Guess what? I've got the full sum based on my performance! Woohoo! Well, it now can settle for my anniversary gifts and dinner and whatever else needed.

Plus, office gave each of us a $20 cash ang pao! Wah, so nice right? How did they know my wallet is going empty this few days? At least I have some spare cash for tomorrow's lunch. Haha.

So have you plan for tomorrow's Valentine's Day? If you start thinking now, it will be too late. For us? It's going back to where we started our first dinner date. Let's just hope it's not crowded. Think by the time we meet up for dinner, it's almost 8.30pm! So late right? Dear, if you feel too hungry, eat some finger food ok? Don't go on a hungry stomach. Not good for your body.

Back to dear's blog issue, it seems some pep's skin is just as thick as elephant's skin! Perhaps a note to all readers. Most bloggers who write about our everyday life are keeping this going on for friends or peps who really cares to keep themselves update. We rant our displeasure. We inform on what we had been doing. Yes, it's not a conventional diary as EVERYONE can read, which means readers can leave their thoughts and comments for a particular post. But this does not mean readers have every single right to intrude to the blogger's life by leaving their 5 cents worth of advice which doesn't mean anything and yet hurt the blogger in one way or another! And when other's who really care step in to protect the blogger, isn't it time for you to leave and not create a big scene, making yourself look like a monkey? And of course, if you want to make a big huha out of it, tell us who you are unless you don't have a name?

I think the noesy bugger really felt our wrath and prowess and that's why he kept on "begging" us to shut up. But of course since his pleads seems so hostile, I'm NOT letting him off as I'm having so much fun of attacking him back and I can't help myself for stopping! Like I've mentioned in my previous post on one of my "quote of the day" that I like challenges. Even though I know I'm challenging a kid but I simply get a kick out of it, like having an orgasm! Haha!

Ok, let's not make me sound sadistic. That pest is just an exceptional case looking for trouble. He's asking for it. Yes, I know "it's" a "he". As per my previous post in Chinese, the more you say or write, the more you reveal who are you.

I'm so tired now but I can't sleep because I'm charging my mp3 player... Sad...

405. bling bling

Rant of the day: Weather is changing again. It's finally getting warmer.

After shopping around yesterday evening for a new pair of spectacles and I've failed. I just couldn't find one that is really impressive for my liking and within my budget. I want to claim from office. Haha. Well, it's my entitlement for staff benefit right? So better use it before I leave.

Well, instead of buying spectacles, my dear and I bought something else. It's always the case right? Plans just don't work out in most cases when it comes to shopping. Like my mum, she can plan at home on only a certain amount of stuff to buy at NTUC but she always comes home with much MORE! Haha...

So, we bought blings blings instead. Haha. Our first "couples" bling bling but actually they are from different stores. Guys, silver-horned pendant with glitteries and comes with a silver chain from RE- @ $33.90. Comes in 2 colours, silver and black. Ladies, gold-horned pendant with glitteries and comes with a gold chain from Aldo @ $29. Comes in 2 colours, gold and silver. The lady version is just slightly smaller and they look fantastic man!

The clothes at RE- seems pretty nice actually and I think they are having a discount @ 20% for tops except accessories. Should I go shopping again? I'm spending quite a fair bit already and I've also yet to buy my k800i. Well, staff benefit also. Haha.

So back to getting new spectacles, I better work on it...

404. 无聊事物

Rant of the day: 炎热的天气真要人命！还好风算蛮大的。

一大清早就回营听一些有没有的东西，无聊……还好大伙儿都在。时间还算是没有白白的浪费掉。至少能跟大伙儿聊一聊，又到了E-Mart“采购”了两双袜子以便上班能穿。哈哈！能花一点时间和大家做一点catching up也不错。看到大家都过得还不错，心里也感到欣慰。至少大多数都已有盘算，想着自己的未来该走的路。

大家的话题依旧，聊的都是大家的现状。当然，不忘聊一聊陈年往事，回味回味……聊着聊着，又回到欠大家钱的那位idiot。想起来真得让人感到气愤。老实讲，大家朋友一场，怎么弄到这种地步？弄得大家“闻风丧胆”而又“避而远知”。做人何必做到这样？把自己的信用放在甲板上，让人对自己的人格有所顾忌。真得很失望。如没猜错，一切都是从赌开始。小赌怡情，但一旦赌大到自己无法自拔就大势不妙了。

虽然前我的钱不算多，但以足够卖掉我对他的信用和友谊……

Dear的部落格最近遭受到一些吃饱空闲没事做的王八蛋侵袭了。有些人真得很无聊。要读人家的部落格，但一读到自己不爽的东西就在别人的部落格大作文章，搞到自己“很厉害”似的。老实说，干麻没事找事做啊？有什么东西向发表，就到自己该撒尿的地方撒。别无聊到别人撒尿的地方“抢地盘”。是想让自己的身活增添一点“色彩”吗？

说实在的，那名以译名"angel"的无聊人也是很空闲。每天都到dear的部落格骂人，还弄到自己很多道理。不知道我是不是应该狂笑？看到他所写得就知道好没深度，好幼稚。看来应该是20岁左右。真得觉得"angel"很coward。始终不敢让人知道身份，但大家心里有数。若要人不知，除非己莫为。别在每一句回应都透入自己身份的线索和自己的幼稚与白吃的思想。好烂哦！一点都没技巧。只能说：到行不够，就别班门弄斧了！Try harder next time.

对我而言，骂人是我的专长、讲话是我的本领。要不然我在我的工作岗位早就混不下去了。我是一位靠嘴讨生活的人，所以别考我的嘴上功夫与能耐。别在自讨没趣了吧……要用文字对付我，乖乖回家学这儿点吧小孩子！哈哈！

403. briefing

Rant of the day: I love new challenges!

I've told June today on my final decision to leave. She's pretty upset actually. We've been really close coffee buddy practically almost everyday, as long as we are both at work. We pour out our displeasure. We talk about alot of things. She's just like my big sister who I can look for in the office when I'm feeling down. Gosh, I'll so damn miss her coffee breaks when I leave.

I'll be back in camp tomorrow morning for some briefing again. All over again. It's a waste of my time! I could have spend better time doing my OT and earn a lil more for next month's pay! I get a mere $8++ for attending such stuff. That's less then my per hour pay in office! Sianz... Well, since in such arrangement, what to do? Brief liao, go E-Mart and buy things lor! Haha. Don't waste a trip there right? I need new black socks for work.

What to do after that? Clean up my house of course! Mum's at home for cleaning. I'm thinking of making new spectacles and make the final claims before I leave. Which design shall I go for?

Damn, I'm sleepy. Need to rest. Ciaoz peps!

402. exceptional

Rant of the day: I will tender in March. I've made up my mind because leaving will make me a happier man.

I've got so sick of the policy. Fuck it!

In the term of shift exchange, it's not an exceptional. Where both parties mutually agrees to exchange shift and no one affects the manpower head counts, it's not an exceptional. And in the actual fact, this company owes me exceptionals so long as I'm still in this department as I'm being forcefully transferred to this department! I wasn't even treated in respect of such arrangements. What am I? A soccer ball? A dog?

Extract from my supervisor's email: "...we hope to see more OTs from you. and not just on your OFF days..."

What the fuck right? He simply means I should do more OTs before or after work, else no more such "exceptionals"! My response in my mind? Fuck it... I'm tendering anyway, you wouldn't have the chance to make me do OT anymore.

It's not that I don't do OT. I do apply for it but only on my off or rest days and not before or after work. Reason? Look where the hell I stay! Do I drive to work? No. So how long do I need to get to office? I have to wake up 2 freaking hours before work! Have he ever ask me why I don't do before and after work OT just to understand the situation as a boss? No.

I'm tired of the work.

I'm sick of the suddenly changes in shift in this new department.

I'm so disappointed with such emails/sms/verbal messages.

So I believe leaving here will make me a happier man outside. The day will come on 1st March when I tender! Anyway, I'm on mc today. Having sore throat and of course, NOT IN DA MOOD to work.

401. losing sleep

Quote of the day: We are right at the bottom of the food chain in our company.

It's really windy this few days. This is so strong that I see women's hair flying all over their face! So it's time to put on extra clothings when you are out.

I couldn't sleep well last night but thank goodness I'm not working today. Not sleeping well is because of what to write in my farewell email to my friends and colleagues. After submitting the graduity letter, if I get the cash this month, I will most prolly tender on early March. I'm getting quite comfortable in the company now with the new big bunch of super friendly colleagues in the new department, so I will be very very upset when I leave but leaving is a confirmed decision. I can't be answering calls throughout my entire career path as I see room for expansion in the company really slow. Plus I need to study, therefore shift work is totally out for me. Need to source for an office hour job which can accomodate studies after work.

I've got so much things to tell so many peps before I leave, so I think I'll better start drafting my farewell email. I've got my most memorable batch mates. I've got the most wonderful coffee buddy. I've got the most fantastic cliques in the old and new clusters. I've got the most inspirational supervisors.

So lemme think what to write when I leave...

Well, before everyone gets melancholy, I think I'll better stop here. I'm going out to shop for my daily neccessities later. For nuts, I've finish up my hair wax and hair spray! Have to get them else how to go out? Haha.

My afternoon shift is coming to an end for this week. I'm so glad! Finally, morning shift awaits...

400. hairy affair

Exclamation: I love my new hair!

First day of February and I'm bringing good news! I'm going to submit my 1 year graduity rewards later before work! Oh my goodness, we are talking about cold hard cash my dear... Hopefully I get the full amount, so that I can have that extra cash to buy a new handphone and also for my 1 year anniversary pressie with dear.

On my new hair, gosh, I'm loving it!

Leng zai or not? If really leng zai, then considering me for a TV commercial? Haha. Anyway, it cost me $80 to get it cut, dye and then highlight. Ouch! But no choice, it's almost the festive seasons and all salons had actually jack up the prices.

But I think I might be losing my hair. It seems to get thinner this few days. Oh no, I don't want to be a botak! Think if the situation goes on, I might need to make a trip to hair care centre. Sad... But come to think about it, my hair has always been thin and not becasue I'm going botak, but since young, I don't really have alot of hair growing on my head. It's not a really huge population up there. Oh well, we shall see about it la.

I still can't wait to submit my graduity letter!
