sometimes a bit bu shuang the "shuttle bus policy".. dun allow ppl to stand in the bus.. meaning if all the seats r taken den the rest have to wait for the nxt bus.. if its the last bus den u have to take the public bus.. a bit too over cautious isnt it.. waste so much space on the bus n bring inconvenience to ppl juz bcos there r no seats.. everyday go home sure miss the first bus one.. in the case where im super suay den i will miss the second bus oso.. tdy i missed again.. so i tout mayb take bus home faster than waiting for the nxt bus which is 15 min away.. gei kiang lor end up take bus in wrong direction.. took bus back in the other direction den saw my 2nd bus leaving.. @#$@#$.. nxt time dun care.. juz wait for the free shuttle bus!

juz decided last wk to enroll for jap course wif my fren.. but no jlpt cert so need to take qualifying test.. which is nxt mon! @#$@#$.. so nowadays trying to revise jap.. no games till nxt wk! but heck liao bdae coming muz still go shopping.. dun miss out on the bdae discounts

watched harry potter last sun.. think its nt bad.. a bit rushed though.. told colleague it was a bit 赶 den he tout i said i was a bit 感动... -___-".. haa yah when harry potter brought cedric's body back n started crying den quite touching lor.. hamsome guy die mah.. haha.. if they nvr cut out those exciting scenes den it wld b even better.. but dun think its as bad as wat other ppl say lah.. wat hermonine nvr wear blue dress for the yule ball lah den why they do this do tat.. heck care

tdy i moved the pc sideways to one corner n put the keyboard on the desk.. i rather my hands sore from the bad posture than spoil my eyes staring so close to the screen.. a bit fei though cos yest the guy oredi put at the corner but i asked him to shift out a bit cos i wanted to use the ergonomic thing mah.. who noes the thing so gao wei one might as well dun use

think the other contractors quite slack in the morning but later in the day den quite hardworking liao.. as in morn can c they surfing net but afternoon den c them reading docs or doing stuffs.. n when i left they were still doing their stuffs.. wats wrong wif these ppl?? nobody seems to go off on time one

received an email saying the team building day program is learning salsa dance.. siao eh! i rather go die..

a bit tempted to take mc tmr.. haha.. nan de i sick leh den can utilize my sick leave oso.. somemore mayb nxt wk den got assignments.. but a bit weird taking mc leh.. like oni runny nose den go c doc.. usually juz eat panadol until it recover.. somemore tmr got the "meeting".. its funny how i dun have mc during my prev job n yet i take so mani sick leave.. den now got genuine reason to take mc n i dun want.. haha

i downgraded from big desk to small desk tdy.. the anticipation of getting my own pc is killed by the relatively small space.. its approx 10 contractors sitting at the size of 2 perm desk.. v squeezed lah.. n the stupid crt monitor is so big tat if i put it straight den im practically staring into its face.. put sideways but the ergonomic thing to put the keyboard cant b moved.. so im sitting at quite an awkward position sideways.. -_____-.. stupid thing..

the differences between a contractor's place (not desk.. we share long long circular desk) n a perm's DESK is:

1. no power sockets at the top.. which means no charging of hp! @#$@#$.. mayb can crawl underneath the desk to plug but duno whether there is free sockets n oso it looks v cheapo.. some lucky ones have sockets nxt to them.. i dun have.. -____-

2. no cabinet.. some lucky ones have cabinets nxt to them.. i DUN HAVE! -_____-

3. no personal litterbin.. all share one in the middle.. n my nose juz decided to go on a running trip so i've been using tissue like free.. @#$@#$

4. no personal telephone.. all share one in the middle.. nvm since i nvr use the phone oso.. but den have ur own phone feel v shuang

5. v small lah.. no privacy.. sit at perm desk den nobody noe wat u doing.. this afternoon i even dozed off but dun think they noe.. the ppl sitting nxt to mi is at least 1 m away.. here i got one guy sit juz beside mi n another one sit behind mi.. so if i chat on internet they oso noe.. -___-

heard the admin saying got new contractor tdy but she wasnt informed abt it so there isnt any place for him.. i doubt she will b able to squeeze a place for him even if she knew abt it.. haha.. so they set up a temp desk facing the wall.. poor thing.. i duno where my fren is going to sit when she comes in.. definitely nt nxt to mi since the ppl around mi shld b new juz like mi oso.. scarcely no table to sit den lagi best

was informed tat fri got dept meeting.. ok lor juz sit in n listen oni.. but den they say mayb i have to do self-intro.. -____-.. think its confirmed got.. hate self-intros.. ppl look at u like new specimens like tat.. somemore i oso duno wat im doing now.. tell them i now doing self-learning meh..

wanted to blog abt how cranky my laptop is den suddenly tdy it became guai n started working.. but still im going to blog abt it.. haha.. for the past 2 days it kept refusing to start up.. kept restarting den it juz stuck there n refuse to move on.. keyboard still responding though.. oni after repeated tries n removing the cd-rom den it started up.. think the brand realli sux as much as its receptionist (last time i called to ask abt the outcome of my job application n the recept slammed the phone on mi after telling mi no call means not shortlisted).. my fren's laptop's keyboard spoilt after 1 yr.. but heng got warranty so he can replace a new one.. another fren's laptop's fan stopped working after 3 yrs.. now trying to get them to fix it.. my laptop's screen can c green lines flickering when the background is black after using for 3 yrs.. warranty over so no replacement.. @#@#$.. now after 4 yrs den siao siao cannot start up.. my bro's laptop is 5 yrs n still going on strong.. nxt time dun ever buy laptops from tat company.. laoya laptops

yest say i leave home early den tdy do OT.. @#$#@$.. nxt time dun toke abt gd things liao.. everytime sure kena one

tdy was quite ok until when its time to go home.. afternoon got 2.5 hrs netmeeting training where the ppl overseas conduct training n we c their comp screens via netmeeting n hear their voice thru conference call.. din learn anithing cos the voices so muffled n indian accent so heavy.. almost dozed off

after tat at first tout can finish up my task.. mentor even said finish liao can juz keep quiet else they will assign another task n keep pushing u for the results.. haa. who noes we kept using the wrong info at different stages den end up cant finish.. redo thrice.. den the third time got the correct info liao den he ask mi to do on my own.. siao man.. he type the commands so fast n i cant catch so i oni roughly noe wat hes doing.. he roughly say wat to do den i go orh orh.. understand mah.. who noes when he left den i forget wat to do.. kns! try to do on my own but type command oso type wrong.. @#@#$

by the time i do on my own its oredi 5.30.. do OT until 9 oso dun think will finish since i still nt familiar.. den heck lor juz leave n do on mon.. wanted to catch the 6pm shuttle bus oso.. when i left the rest were still around.. or strictly speaking its they were still online since i cant c them

tout quite lucky cos managed to catch the shuttle bus.. who noes when the bus reach interchange den i saw my bus.. wanted to alight but the idiot shuttle bus purposely wait for the traffic light to turn green so tat it can move a few inches further up den let us alight.. stop so far from the busstop somemore.. of cos miss lah.. den waited for the stupid low-frequency bus.. other buses all come in twos den my bus came.. still nt enuff.. got hunger pangs den the stupid tv mobile show those ang moh eating v delicious food.. @#$.. 我忍！

tout can reach home around 7.. den kena stuck in traffic jam! kns.. its those type where the cars cant move when its green light n when they can move den the traffic light turn red.. wait wait wait.. den saw traffic police reroute the cars.. seems like the road cannot b used.. but prob is other cars in other directions all moving but our lane nt moving at all.. @#$#@$.. kena stuck in the same place for 30 mins! den suddenly they let the cars use the road again.. wat the cow?! 莫名其妙 kena stuck there for duno wat.. nt due to peak hr or accident.. @#@#$

no traffic jam liao still nt enuff.. got 2 si ginna board the bus where the jam took place.. kept jumping up n down n making lots of noise n pretending tat they r driving the bus.. so idiotic.. kids nowadays realli irritating.. n they alighted at the same stop at mi.. got to stand their nonsense throughout the whole journey.. @##@$

at least come home den got gd news.. my fren sign contract liao! joining mi 3 wks later.. need to wait for so long.. -___-

lazy to blog liao.. cos nthing much to blog n oso these few days keep playing maple.. haa.. think blog everyday oso write the same thing

these few days nthing much.. mostly self-learning.. nt much exp in using the tools so even though i follow the manual i can sometimes spend one whole day juz to do configuration.. =X the rest of them duno wat im doing oso so its ok i guess.. no development work.. juz learning wat to do nxt after the defect is resolved.. v mafan man.. quite confused oso

nxt wk will b shifting to new place.. will b stuck there for 1 yr.. hope my fren come in faster den mayb can sit nxt to mi.. haa.. v greedy.. work in same building nt enuff.. best if sit together.. but she said she haven sign contract yet so anithing can happen.. some of her frens were offered contracts elsewhere but last min den the companies say they have found a better candidate.. so idiot.. but its a realistic world out there.. actually if we got better offers we oso will reject the rest.. hmm so hopefully everything go smoothly n she come in nxt mth.. yeah.. think mayb same dept somemore

heard that theres a team-building day nxt mth.. whole day no work n the whole team juz go out n play some activity.. haa. sounds interesting.. but now still v blur abt wats going on.. they were toking abt wat cooking etc etc.. duno if they going to ask the whole team to cook or wat.. lol.. but cos most of the ppl in the team r prcs so almost all of them can cook at least something.. i oni noe how to cook maggie mee.. haa..

tmr fri! so fast one wk pass juz like tat.. think it wont b long b4 i start doing hands-on liao.. mayb shld ask the "new" guy how long he took b4 he familiarised himself n use it as a gauge.. so far it seems like the junior ones come in earlier than mi n leave later than mi.. :(.. but dun think they will notice since i sit so far away.. unless they c mi offline in the messenger.. hehe. but nxt wk change desk den everytime go toilet or go home den may have to walk past them.. nvm i still can walk the other direction.. haa

felt kind of stupid this morn.. forgot tat my sup had oredi emailed mi the passwd for a new acc.. so when she told mi they helped mi setup access oredi i tried logging in wif my passwds.. end up got locked out without mi knowing it.. den when one of them asked mi if i got the email for the passwd oredi i said i din rcve any.. he saw the email n say there this is the one.. OH. after tat cant log in lor.. den sup say need to reset passwd.. -___-".. so mani accounts until i luan.. still nt clear wat each is for

used to read newspapers abt how ppl spend hrs clearing their emails everyday n tout its kind of exaggerating.. but now start work oni 1 wk n my mails r oredi accumulating.. every big thing small thing oso cc to the whole team.. think my manager even worse.. i request for admin rights to the pc n the system cc the email to him.. my sup request to reset passwd for mi oso cc to him.. den i read some training materials online n request for training credits.. oso cc to him! dotz

realised tat one guy in my team oso juz grad from uni.. but he joined 4 mths earlier.. other ppl grad liao go overseas trips den find jobs.. he find job liao den go overseas trip.. steady.. earn money while holiday-ing.. wonder how he can clear his leave so soon though.. oni 4 mths diff n he got hired as a perm while i got hired as contract.. -___-.. think ppl still generally think tat grads find jobs easily.. its more like whether they want or not.. he asked mi if i went for holiday tour den find job.. said a lot of singaporeans so 潇洒.. go tour after grad.. i said i din realli find job seriously after grad.. which is the truth but actually its more like want to find n cant find.. haa. better let them have the impression tat its i nvr find job seriously rather than letting them noe i so loser.. haa

my "mentor" settled the debugging on his own.. hoho.. all thks to the time spent on waiting for the a/c to set up.. so i cant access the codes on my own.. den i oni familiarise myself wif the simulator n the flow of the program etc

think its a challenge communicating wif the prcs.. most prob cos i new n oso cos my knowledge of china v limited.. they toke abt the things in china all i duno.. the things n culture n food n weather etc etc.. haha..

they asked mi hows my progress in reading the docs.. told them i doing the debug n they go "wah so fast do liao".. den one guy from another dept say heng he nt in my dept.. -__-.. think my dept quite stressful.. heard a lot of ppl left.. den another one stressed until cannot take it.. O.O.. scary sia

nxt mth my fren joining mi! haa.. think its realli easy to get in.. her dept super efficient.. yest morn agent call her.. afternoon go interview.. tdy morn agent call her to say they 99% hiring her.. duno wats wrong wif the 1%.. she oso tout her test was gonecase but turn out fine.. if all the contract staff sit together den mayb we can help each other out.. hehe.. den she say she want to sponsor mi a trip as a form of gratitude for recommending her the job.. woot

yest afternoon i logged onto web messenger.. den this morn i cant access the website.. -__-.. seems like they blocked the website oredi.. so efficient.. which is gd as well.. cos a few ppl came over to my pc to show some stuffs.. sure kena discovered.. haa

this whole morn i was undisturbed.. bet nobody will noe even if i dun go work.. haa.. spent time reading my c++ bk.. din learn much though.. den met my fren for lunch n do some catching up.. went to her office n cc.. so empty one.. can even hide in one corner n nap

afternoon den colleague assigned mi one task.. asked mi to take over from another guy den he be my mentor.. no more slacking liao.. she said the task is pretty easy.. but i dun think so.. haa.. basically its the other ppl log in their problems den im supposed to try n get the same error on the hp.. after tat read thru their code n do debug i think.. get to play around wif hps.. quite fun but tmr need to read thru code.. hope i wont conk out

think its time to buy t-shirts again.. bought too mani shirts but they all dress quite casually.. sure look v awkward when go out wif them for lunch

this morn i reached 5 min late.. but my colleague actually said im so early.. den i realised the office quite empty.. O.O.. later i learnt tat they work flexi hrs so most of them go work at 9 or 10.. some even 11.. but they go home late oso.. i rather start work early end work early.. haa.. go home watch tv den early morn got shuttle bus oso..

one colleague became "mentor" n brought mi around.. automatically briefed mi on all the things tat i wanted to noe.. haha.. like the work culture the things to look out for n how to apply for sick leave =X.. asked him if they often do OT.. he said its mostly bcos they arrive late den leave late.. phew.. but i think later on if need to liaise wif overseas ppl n theres a time difference den may need to work late.. since sometimes its time to go home but they still working so they will ask u to do something for them.. -__-

sat in for conference call wif the team.. conference wif one guy from india.. his indian accent realli incomprehensible.. but somehow the rest of them all seem to understand.. O.O.. den they intro mi to the guy.. he kept getting my name wrong.. -___-

got my comp account n can online liao! but den the comp is nt mine.. need to wait for 2 wks for the new pc to arrive.. n by then i will b sitting in the cramped areas liao.. :(.. the co quite gd.. provide ergonomic keyboard pad n mouse pad.. but the desk which im sitting belongs to a left-handed person n she put the mousepad at the left.. cant shift cos its fixed.. -__-

went main bldg for lunch.. the food there quite cheap.. den got mini fruits market oso.. tout its cheaper than outside but later my mum say its more ex.. haha.. got free flow of coffee tea etc etc

afternoon juz stone the day away.. read some notes but cant understand.. den went to collect my access card.. can drink lots of water n go toilet liao! haa.. duno y they like to put last name first followed by first name.. tat pig say my name sounds like guarantee get 零蛋 while hers sound better.. no 零蛋.. hmmph..

so far so gd.. quite like the environment there.. v peaceful.. den the ppl r more like seniors since they abt same age.. quite frenly n helpful oso.. but i think im quite bad at judging age cos i tout one of them oni slightly older than mi but shes oredi married wif kids.. O.O

somehow i think my string of gd luck is ending.. which is v fast.. keep ls from sat onwards.. tdy start work sun still ls! @#$@#$.. heng tdy nvr run to toilet.. but stomach still feeling queasy

morn met wif the agent n 4 other contract staff for briefing den tour around the main bldg.. after tat agent brought mi n other guy down the street to the bldg we working.. met the manager.. they blur blur nvr tell the administrator i coming den end up i no desk.. cos contract staff sit in more cramped areas than the perm staff.. so now i sit temp at one perm staff's desk den change over nxt wk.. T.T.. cramp wif so mani guys n desk so small..

den they told mi i no comp acc so cant log in comp.. wait for temp acc oso need to wait for 2 days.. -__-.. so no comp to use.. stone stone until colleague print some notes for mi to read.. another guy lent mi his bk n ask mi to read up some unix commands.. read until i kept dozing off.. heng the cubicles quite well-separated den nobody see (i hope.. haa)

ate lunch wif the dept ppl.. so mani guys.. ratio of guys to girls is 7:3.. mostly from china.. den after tat walked to the main bldg to submit some forms to get the access card done.. they not open! @#$#@$.. waste my time.. den after tat wait a few hrs later den went down again.. need to wait until tmr afternoon den can get it done.. no access card means cant go toilet cos will kena locked out.. -___-.. so tdy i oni went toilet once cos cant go without notifying my colleague.. heng nvr ls! haa.. den cant drink too much water oso

den stone stone.. time to go home but nvr c ppl leaving.. so weird.. all do OT? aniway cant realli c from where im sitting oso.. so i packed up n left by the nearest door.. juz nice my colleague (the one who interviewed mi) walked past n went toilet.. O.O.. den v awkward cos i seem to feel tat he thinks im leaving so early?? but nthing to do mah

took shuttle bus.. v fast reach interchange.. den bus immediately came.. reached home at 6! shiok.. 1 hr bus journey but cheaper.. can save around $30 per mth as compared to the prev job.. den tmr can wake up later oso.. no comp acc for tmr so wont start work tmr oso.. haa

went to sign contract tdy.. finally settled everything.. the last contract was oni 2 pages.. this one mani mani pages! den got mani forms oso.. apparently im employed under the agency n not the company.. so im like outsourced to the co.. a bit weird..

benefits-wise is standard.. 14 days leave 14 days sick leave but the annual leave have to earn 1 day by working 1 mth.. so starting day 0 leave.. den got medical scheme oso.. c doc oni pay $5! can choose from mani clinics.. my family doc inside oso.. whoo.. so convenient.. den got shuttle bus.. means i oni need to take 1 public bus.. ^^.. den no OT pay.. need to fill in timesheet.. O.O

after signing everything den the agent asked mi wat model of hp i using.. told him den he said yes! -__-"".. den he said its ok.. asked him y.. he said cos the co got say b4 they dun realli like to c their employees using other brands of hp.. O.O.. heng ar.. haha.. if use other brand den duno how.. muz use secretly?

mon start work.. 怕怕.. hope i dun die inside.. cos its stated under the guidelines tat failure to achieve and maintain the requirements of the position after training is considered violation of work rules.. O.O

these few mornings kept raining n raining.. -___-.. woke up early everyday to go swimming oni to realise tat its raining.. feeling fat oredi.. think if the job no OT den mayb got time to go swimming after work.. haa

these few days got quite a no of gd things happening.. feeling v gd.. hee
