Unappreciative Efforts

I am going MAD!!! Especially with this stupid computer. It hanged somehow n when i reboot, the strange phenomenum happened again. I could not get connected... Already very pissed with work, even the computer want to bully me now. Can someone put a stop to all these???

It is ok if no one appreciates your work. Worse still, u get negative comments like not being serious with work. I cant stand it cos i felt injustice seriously. I am trying to make a simple living but there are pple who want to get you out of the game ASAP. I tolerated time over time. Still not over... Trouble keep coming n it is just too hard to avoid.

I got this from a blogger
Hardship in life does not bring u down, instead it will make u a stronger person
"bullshit, it does seriously bring u down, physically n mentally, the talk being stronger is only applicable if the quotation does not apply to urself."

Well, wat the blogger meant was true. I share the same sentiment with him. Terrible. I was in a bad mood for the rest of the day. I told jun how could i gain weight in an environment like this. Really "gek sim"! ARGH.... Greener pasture, pls come quickly. I am looking for a pair of waving hands... one hand will do too.... ha....

Sickly Computer

This is the last time before i sent my computer for treatment. A clean up for the hard disk. Internet connection has resumed pretty normal now. Except the occasional erroneous mail sending. The computer cannot start like it used to be but to reboot at least once before allowing me to work on it. When i switch off, it will somehow restart again, ignoring my instruction. Well, all thanks to the kind spyware.

Headed down Dbl O with Gavin this evening. Ken opted out this time due to some personal reason which i shall not divulge. Met a few familar faces like Xueni n Eric again. Surprisingly, he brought along his pretty gf. He became so tame. ha.... cant believe it was him. Spoke to one of the regulars too. Nice person. Anyway their dance never fail to entertain me. My way of relieving STRESS!

ARGH! Could not attend lizhen's wedding. It's her big day but i missed it. Thanks to my work. We pooled our money and bet on the wedding car's number plate. Hopefully, it will bring us some good luck. We need some money for a prosperous new year cum christmas. Talking abt money, i wonder when my bonus will be paid. hmmm.... at least it can keep me going....hee....

Good Old Times

Yes, another successful attempt to log on to internet. I presume there's some virus inside the computer that kept sending email using my bandwidth. Yesterday, there was a total of over 15 emails sent. Pretty worrying. The connection speed seems quite ok but then we never know wat is hiding inside. whahaha....

Met up with a few ex-colleagues today. Thanks to them who gave me valuable advices. In times like this, we need an extra ear. Well, CK is doing fine after leaving here. Feel happy for her. To be able to do something different. Wat abt me? Aiyah... another suffering day to come. Fortunately it is pay day. Something to look forward to.

Received a few messages asking me to party down zouk. Hmm.... Dun really feel like going cos no mood plus middle of the week. Ken is so keen to go and called me several times. When i have decided not to go, he was pretty disappointed. No choice lar... Dun want to spent too much either. Maybe next wk? Let's see how things go.

Stressful Life

I have not been able to update my blog thanks to the mysterious virus hiding in my computer. ARGH!!! Going to reformat my hard disk to revive the dying computer. I guess he must have a hard time trying to cough out the silly germs. My connection speed has reduced significantly, if lucky enough i can still connect, if not it will go as low as 300 bytes only.

Anyway, managed to log in this time to update what i have done over the last few days. Well, it has been work. Still surviving but get choked at times. ha.... My colleague suffered a strong blow this evening. I din know how to comfort *** (to protect the identity of the victim). *** was badly affected with tears running many times. Sometime, i really wonder if a working culture can victimise one person. A once cheerful person turn gloomy n depressed.

I have been in this playing field for almost a year. Life has been difficult for me too. I have mentioned over in my previous entries, this has been one of the toughest moment in my life. I had sleepless nights too. Been worrying abt this n tat. When i see what happened to my colleague, i felt worried for her. At the same time, i am also worried for myself. I dun want to end up in such a situation. Distress...

Finally, it is off today. Going to town to meet my ex-colleague. Life would have been easier if i have not taken this path. For now, i will just relaz my off day n party on wkend... hee....

Spyware HELP!

IT has been very tough on me over the last few days. My computer has been attacked by some spyware n have slowed down my internet connection. Wau... I nearly fainted when i did a check with pacnet. Apparently there are some 100 spyware tat stuck to my computer eating up my bandwidth... Well, technology has benefitted us, on the other hand, we became so reliance that once the system goes haywire, u feel PISSED!!!

This evening, received some nuisance prank call who accused me of hiding some China Woman!!! Damn Suay, first computer then handphone. The party on the other line kept asking who i was and claimed i called her father. I denied. I dun even know tat strange looking number who kept ringing my phone for a few times. The person threaten to call the police if i dun reveal my identity. Cant believe it. She was so fierce n kept screaming over the phone. Pissed again, i told her to go ahead. I called Service provider and lodged a complaint.

I suspect there is still something fishy going on my system. The internet connection is still sending data despite i made no attempts to send. Someone or something is using my bandwidth. This is so vexing. Ok, think i need more professional help. Hopefully it can be resolved soon.

Cross Road

When one is standing at a cross road, u dun really know wat to do next. Cos if u take a wrong step, u might end up sinking! In life, there are lots of decisions to make. I have faced with a few previously. I made some stupid mistakes. And that makes me think twice.There are risks though compensated with benefits. However, uncertainty is the root to all problem.

How how how??? To go with the flow or take a step back. Till this point, i am unsure too. Alright, serves me rite for landing in a dilemma. I din want it but sometimes "Ren Zai Jiang Hu ; Shen Bu You Ji". Or would it be better if i re-access the situation? Well, i think i should do that.

It's SAT!!! AND i'm OFF. whoo... Ken invited me to try out FF @ George St. Yep, i should be going. Renowed as the best club when compared to other FF branches, i am looking fwd. I hope it wont disappoint me like Zouk!!! kekeke.... It's also party time. Party down to Dbl O and say hi to me. I can assure you i will not give u a sulky face!!! whahaha....

Surprise Call

Almost headed to bed when i stumbled upon a friend's blog. Pretty interesting with frequent updates. Sometime, i feel that blogging is a way to keep track of wat u have been doing, at the same time, allowing friends to know wat went on. However, i cant understand there are pple who make use of blogs to launch personal n evil attacks.

This afternoon, before i left for work, i received an email from someone whom i tot i have lost contact. It was great hearing from him. Din see this good friend cum ex hall mate of mine for more than a year. We were pretty close during our days in Hall. I often dropped by his room and chat till wee hours. Kinda miss those late nights.

Life is still the same. Time passed quickly in office. As usual, some "wonderful" colleagues made my day by making sacarstic remarks. Learn tons of begging skills to ensure work done. Really lar... I dun know how much longer i can endure. Testing my patience. I hope my green green pasture will come SOON!

Exam Stress

I am so fortunate to find myself working. That also means free from exams!!! whahaha..... Streets are unusually quiet today. Not many youngsters. I guess most were having their O levels or A levels. Our undergraduates are mugging for exams too. That could explain why Orchard Road is very peaceful except for Filipinos in the afternoon.

There are many who prefer school cos it is less stressful, more flexible time. I beg to differ. If you ask me the question again --- School or Work? My answer is still the same. WORK! I have been thru many dark moments in my career yet i enjoy work over study. I cant stand the stress from exams, results and never ending assignments in school. bleah!

After work on a wkend, u can enjoy. Be it strolling along Orchard, watching tv at home, it is stress free. Any Monday Blues for me? No no... I work on Sundays too. Even sitting in front of the computer writing my blog, i feel at peace. I read other bloggers' blog. They turn to their blog to release stress. Some even stopped blogging during this period. haiz...
***

Before i forget, i went for my second body jam this afternoon. Cool! My legs are aching after dancing and exercising non stop for 1.5 hours. Good workout on the legs. Dance steps were not easy cos u need good coordination. Well, i think a few more practise will do. It's like mambo. U need to dance a few times n it will come naturally to you. ha.... Whisper with my goodbye, waiting for the train.... i was dancing with my baby in summer rain.... whahaha

SMU

Ooh.... ah..... Yes.... SMU, our third university who has a city campus. Been there for a little stroll with jun and i was so IMPRESSED with the school. I guess the pioneer batch using the school are super fortunate. Well constructed linkway that linked the different schools in SMU. There were shops, classes, labs even 7-11 all housed under one roof.

Know wat, the public cannot gain access into the building unless u have a valid student pass. To gain entry into the academic building, u need to scan ur pass before u are authorise to go thru. From the map, i see many facilities within the school. Imagine swimming or working out in the city!!! OMG! Only if u become a PF or FF member, then u will heve the privilege to do so.

Not only that, the place is so accessible to all corners of the island. If u are tired, u can visit any shopping centres nearby. If you r a party animal, MS, Central Mall, Clarke Quay are stone throw away. If you enjoy singing, K box is next to the school. In terms of hardware, SMU is the best! I have no qualms abt that.

As for software, i am not too sure. I understand tat students attend seminar type of classes. SMU does not conduct lectures or tutorials. This is something quite different although NBS do conduct seminar type of classes too. Well, Boon Lay poly aka NTU is very far from the city. It is in a world of its own.

Fortunately, NTU knows how to leverage on its hostel and decided to turn it into a city of its own. Well, we may hear Boon Lay City in the future and tat may refer to NTU. whahaha.... How long will it takes? I think it should be at least 5 years. I remembered there would be a LRT that will link the campus to the nearest MRT station. Cool! For now, SMU is indeed attractive!

Busy Bee

Busy busy busy! I cant believe it. Everyone is enjoying their public holidays while i am struggling with work. Best ah! Fortunately, i took leave last wk to Hong Kong and enjoyed myself to the fullest at Halloween party, if not i will be suffering in silence again. Oh how much i miss for another vacation.

It's mambo tonite and i have decided to give it amiss. Well, as usual, received some calls n msgs to go. But i am quite broke after the trip. More mambo means more money. Poor lad like me cannot afford such luxuries. Moreover, i still need to work on Hari Raya. Another round of stress! Argh!!!!

Receive an invitation to my colleague's wedding at the end of the month. Too bad i cant go. Been scheduled to work. It will be held in JB. Wah.... Not sure of the place but if i am going, i will be going with my colleagues. No luck, cant go. Wat to do.

Well, wkend is coming and i am looking fwd. For a simple reason, i got an off day on sunday. Too good to be true. I will be able to spent some time with my little nephew. Din get to see him cos of work and holiday. Anyway, after Puasa, it will be my off day. phew....
