im only human

im becoming a workaholic.. sat work sun work den everyday leave at 6+.. stomach hungry oso can tahan all the way home n even get a shower b4 eating.. haa. all bcos of the woman who asked us to work on wkend.. n juz when my workload is slightly lighter den she dump more work on mi.. great. shes not my manager or leader n yet she can suka suka assign work to mi.. she thinks im a superwoman.. *sing to the tune of 曹格 superwoman* "but i am only human..".. lol. think this song is nice.. "but i am only human~~"


not going into the details of work again.. pig says my blog v sian, everytime write abt work.. well i dun blog to entertain ppl.. in fact sometimes i think its even better if nobody read my blog den i can complain abt them.. hehe. its hard for ppl to understand when they r not in ur shoes.. in fact im oso one of these ppl.. like when im in a super gd mood n ppl come complain to mi den i juz give patronising replies like cheer up or jia you.. which is basically useless n rubbish but i duno wat to reply.. n when im in a selfish mood i sometimes even wish they stop complaining n get on with life.. juz a selfish personal thought.. nobody is a saint all the time rite.. den when im free n my fren is busy n complain to mi i will say jia you or "ask ur manager to assign the work to other ppl lor" tat kind of stuff.. as the saying goes "wat goes around comes round" (i think).. tdy after i got more work dumped on mi den i complained to my fren thru IM.. she replied "ask her to assign to other ppl lah".. as i mentioned b4.. i frigging hate it when ppl "lah" mi in IM.. even though they dun mean anithing but my brain will auto interpret it as "get-off-my-back" kind of "lah".. bobian this is one of my peeves..


after tat i walked to my colleague's desk to pass her something n we juz complained abt our workload.. we r both in the same situation so complaining is a great stress-reliever.. so yeah the pt is ppl juz dun get it when they r not in the same situation as u.. ppl often say they juz want a listening ear.. yeah i agree.. but the pt is sometimes its hard to juz listen n not b influenced by their depression n still give encouraging comments without appearing patronising.. "but i am only human~~"

crazy

this wk is a crazy wk.. crazily busy.. busy to the extent tat time seems to fly at the speed of a bullet-train to 6+ pm.. last time still got time to stroll to pantry n wash cup n go toilet break.. now cup juz leave there unwashed :(.. in fact im blogging from the laptop for work.. :(((

the issue is finally over.. but den theres new work coming in. crazy ppl.. juz bcos i did a bug fix for one feature by adding a little +1 den all the rest of the work related to tat feature comes in.. "hey this one is related to the one u did last time.. can u oso look into it?".. den theres no turning back.. whenever got prob of this kind they auto assign to u.. crazy. now even best.. HIGH priority issue.. ask mi to do.. dun care u got other work or not.. this one is VERY IMPORTANT.. dun fix den cannot proceed blahblahblah.. den on the other hand got other work keep coming in.. sometimes i feel like telling them "eh if its HIGH priority den dun assign to mi can.. i oni got 2 mths REAL work exp n 2 mths of reading doc exp.. so im still a rookie.. dun expect so high of mi ok..".. now everybody is in high-strung state cos the workload is getting increasingly heavy n the upper mgmt keeps saying work faster work faster cos the no. of bugs getting higher n higher to a dangerous level.. -___-.. n this will go on for a few mths until the product is released to the market.. -______-

big fat airhead

tdy some big fat airhead almost caused mi to b in deep shit.. luckily i 吉人有天向.. to explain this i have to 重头说起

last mth i was assigned to look into one issue which someone raised.. some stupid issue regarding the code which my ex-teammate did.. so i looked into it.. realised tat the prob which he described got conflict wif the requirements.. which means the prob shldnt b a prob at all since its invalid.. but the expert din c my pt.. instead he asked the guy stuffs abt other aspects.. ok lor i tout i was wrong.. since he was the one whom the ex-teammate handed over the code to when he left.. n he more exp.. but the mail exchange was slow cos of time difference n cos the guy got other things to do n din reply promptly

so this dragged on for quite sometime until the woman from overseas mentioned during one meeting tat i was taking too long to do.. tat was when the expert told mi to do some code change to fix the issue n i stayed back till 8+ to do.. ok i tout it was finally done.. but den got some prob wif the testing.. so drag n drag again.. finally got the fix tested.. need ppl to check the code.. again the person-in-charge took own sweet time to check.. so drag n drag again

finally the guy checked the code.. he said hey the code got conflict wif the requirements.. i dun agree wif ur changes.. he dun approve means i cant get this issue done.. so i have to check wif the guy again on the requirements.. this time best.. he said the requirements is our responsibility n not his.. so now im stuck in the middle of nowhere

den this morn the big fat airhead from nowhere emailed mi saying tat i was taking too long to solve the issue n tat its hindering their progress.. which was ok wif mi except tat she cc the mail to my dept boss, who is one level higher than my PM.. juz happen tat my boss was on leave n his email auto-reply wif the list of ppl to contact if they need help.. den this big fat airhead tout i was the one out of office n cc the mail again to the list of ppl stated, saying i was out of office n asked them to assign someone else to look into the issue.. guess wat? the list of ppl contain my boss's boss n some other big shots.. cos of her big fat airhead this issue got blown up to the mgmt level

luckily my PM was in the list of the second email.. den she spent the whole morn helping mi to look into this issue n even called up the ex-teammate to clarify on the requirements.. she said last time when they were doing the code they oso faced the same prob n it has been dragging on n on.. now im the one who kena.. after spending mani hours she finally said the issue is invalid due to the requirements.. which was wat i had suggested all the while at the beginning but nobody agreed wif mi n i tout i was wrong..

after tat she helped mi to email the guy saying wat the prob was.. she said they shld have got the facts rite at the beginning instead of raising this issue.. after which she helped mi to reply the big fat airhead (she called her "stupid woman") saying tat im looking into the issue n in fact she was included in the latest email exchange.. i think she is juz lazy to go read her mails.. to gek her further she wrote that actually im in office working n the one out of office was my dept boss.. LUCKILY my boss n my boss's boss were not in office tdy.. else i duno wat to expect

later on the team heard of wat was going on n agreed tat the big fat airhead go n blow up the whole thing when its juz a minor issue.. its a gd thing tat they were on my side so i din felt tat bad.. but i dun think it reflects well on me oso.. after all i took so long to do

sometimes its realli stupid making us waste time looking into issues tat r caused cos of their mistakes in testing.. like the other one which i spent the cny looking into.. turned out tat the prob lies in their testing n not in the code at all.. bloody hell.. assign us issues n want us to finish within 2 wks

my failed blood donation

tdy i went blood donation wif the gal as arranged.. the doc told mi to tell the nurse tat i have small veins.. so when its my turn to donate i wanted to tell the nurse.. but the nurse kept telling mi dun worry dun worry.. -.-.. she tout i v nervous or wat.. den i told her i have small veins n last time cannot donate.. den she say dun worry she check for mi.. after tat she say thank you for coming.. ?!.. i say "cannot donate?" den she say "no.. can can.. i juz say thank you..".. dot.. den she gave mi a red rubber heart, saying its a v-day gift for mi


hey i got v-day gift!

den i lie there waiting for the injection.. she poked the needle in den she apologized n say my vein too small so she accidentally punctured my vein.. -_______________-... i tout nothing of it.. but somehow something nt rite.. the woman kept pinching the bag of blood.. den kept taping n untaping my arm.. kept adjusting the needle.. after less than half a pack of blood den she say no choice have to stop cos my blood stopped flowing liao.. small vein -> blood flow out slow -> blood clot or blood clog the needle -> cannot flow out.. -________-..

den she put an ice pack on the arm.. rested for a while den the other person bandaged my arm.. he used a pink one! so cute!



the gal say they seem to treat mi esp gd.. mayb cos the woman attended to mi throughout the whole thing n the guy used a pink bandage.. haa. she was left alone n her bandage was orange wif smiley face.. nt as nice.. but she power mah.. vein visibly bigger than mine n she only lie down there for 10 min n the whole packet was full.. -.-.. she say i better dun injure myself.. else they want to do blood transfusion for mi oso hard.. cant find vein to insert.. choi!

went back office.. den the woman from overseas came to our office.. she was quite surprised when she saw mi.. cos she tout i was a guy.. haha. expected it cos she referred to mi as "he" during conference call last time.. but i tout i spoke to her last wk n she shld b able to realise tat im a "she".. apparently the quality of the call wasnt gd or my voice not feminine enuff

went out to chinese restaurant for lunch as a form of welcoming.. she was quite amused when she saw mi using chopsticks to eat the peanuts.. den we taught her how to use the chopsticks.. lol.. the food was ok.. dim sum n some main course.. the main thing was on interacting wif the team.. my mentor saw our bandages n actually tout we bumped into each other n got hurt.. haa. think i refer to him as the expert instead.. now a bit weird referring to him as mentor.. my sis say he nvr c the news cos news got say they changing the bandage to cute designs to attract more youngsters to go donate blood

reached home n tore off the bandage.. guess wat i saw?



bloody hell! bruise until like tat! last time oni blue black.. now so horrible.. no wonder the woman gave mi 2 packs of medicine to apply.. who says 好心有好报?

好久不见

juz came back from a long-overdue meetup wif my sec sch fren aka jobhunt buddy.. hee. guess both of us esp me r quite lazy at taking the initiative to ask the other party out.. but the gd thing is at least we still kept in touch via sms n msn so we din realli lose contact oso

went to eat pasta for dinner.. nt bad.. n the choc cake wif berry icing was gd.. 甜而不腻.. finally got to experience wat those hosts meant when they described the food as such.. haa.. fren asked mi if i got pic of pig.. so i showed her the world peace pig photo.. den she said i dun look like her.. which is a gd thing.. :P.. all my family members dun look like each other.. i dun want to look pimply or round.. =X

after tat went taka for a walk n 消化消化.. she said she bought a swatch watch for her sis.. wah. i dun even bear to buy one for myself.. i rather spend $5 buying a watch from pasar malam.. haa.. den she recommended some shops for clothes n food etc.. all either exceed my budget or nvr buy b4 n most prob wont buy in future.. =X.. sometimes ppl think i v niao.. but i think diff ppl spend money willingly on diff things.. most gals r willing to spend on clothes n cosmetics.. im more willing to spend on gadgets.. guess my frens hardly go shopping for these so most of the times i appear v niao.. -.-.. n my fren spends on her family.. which is nt a habit in my family so i appeared niao again.. -.-

walk around n she will comment the soft toys etc r v cute.. n den v-day coming.. no bf v fan.. haa. again the difference in perspective.. i say im more practical n she agreed.. soft toys to mi r cute to look at, nice to touch.. but i rather not own them since i dun have use for them.. sometimes i think im more like a guy.. den v-day is juz another ordinary day to mi.. i dun panic until i 火烧眉毛.. getting a bf is oni cos i ought to have one n not bcos i need one.. its juz like getting a job.. its cos i need one.. tats y last time i yaya n den panicked when everybody except mi got a job.. so i guess its oso the same.. i oni panic when everybody get married wif kids.. haa

went kino to look at books.. horoscopes say sagit will have romance luck in march.. lets c whether it comes true.. heh.. its predicted tat this yr will b a gd yr for sagit.. but den its a bad yr for dog.. so which one to believe?? end up they balance each other n cancel off the effect? haa

on the way home on the mrt we took some photos using her walkman phone.. so paiseh man.. mrt so crowded n we took so mani photos like 旁若无人.. took mani times cos most of the pics r blur or taken at the wrong angle.. dun like taking pics.. everytime ppl say 1,2,3 den my smile will auto fade away at 3 n the result is expected.. -.-.. they shld go 1,2,3 in 1 sec n press the button fast fast so tat i dun need to freeze my smile unnaturally.. haa.

had an enjoyable day tdy.. still got mani things nt blogged but i think this entry is getting a bit long n lor so.. haa.. at least we broke the yearly tradition of meeting once a yr during our bdae mth oni.. :D

slow worker

the horoscope is freakingly accurate for mi tdy.. early morn suddenly got extra work drop from the sky n it took up my whole morn until i no time to go toilet break.. n when i finally went for toilet break den the rest went for lunch without me.. -.-

den afternoon got conf call wif overseas counterpart again.. she say the work is dragging for quite sometime blahblahblah.. den she say y i had to do this way when i can juz do tat way which is faster.. but the team later said tats how they did for the work oso.. -___-.. den shes coming to our office nxt wk n we will b having meeting face-to-face.. -___-... den she will noe im the one who always do things v slow n she will have the chance to question me face-to-face.. n if she question mi den i will tell her "u noe hor, my 1st 2 mths mostly spent on reading docs.. oni occasionally handle those simple code change like add a 1 here add a 2 there.. so actually my actual work exp is oni 1 mth.. n all the tools im using for the 1st time.. so mani stupid errors during configuration blahblahblah.. n hor ur colleague v best oso.. i email her for help last wk n she nvr reply.. i 出动 my PM oso nvr rcve reply.. so its not my fault oso leh"

aniway the horoscope for tmr looks promising.. in fact i oredi settled some of them oredi.. its v paiseh to keep asking ppl for help out in my work n sometimes they end up doing it for mi.. but dun ask den oso duno how to do.. i need to work smart work smart work smart.. sometimes feel so stupid.. ppl toke n explain to mi but sometimes i still dun get it.. den sometimes i tout i got it but when i clarified wif them later den i realise tat i got it wrong.. or even worse.. i sent out emails to the other party when i got the concept wrong.. think if they evaluate my performance den its v jialat

free food

tdy my fren asked mi when im going to cut my hair.. -.-.. tats how unobvious my haircut is.. haa.. the funni thing is when i told her i cut my hair yest den she asked mi y i go cut my hair.. -__-'''

the "food culture" at my workplace is v gd.. ppl who return from their overseas trip will usu bring back lots of snacks from tat place n send an email asking us to help ourselves to them at their desks.. n tdy is the day when most of the prcs came back from their home trips.. so its expected tat there will b quite a few emails asking us to help ourselves to snacks from china.. :D.. i shy so i nvr go take.. hee.. but quite a lot of ppl juz went n helped themselves to the food even though they dun even noe the person.. 2 contractors sitting in my area offered me their snacks even though i hardly or nvr toke to them.. :D.. den my fren bought a packet of cut fruits for lunch n cant finish.. so she gave them to me.. but got papaya which i don eat.. so i oni ate the rest n threw the papaya away.. =X

the alzheimer fren smsed mi for the agent's no for the 4th time yest.. FOURTH time leh.. n when i said i oredi gave him 3 times he actually got the cheek to say he lost it.. so lack of sincerity n still got the cheek to expect mi to give him again.. its no diff from a unrepentant gambler asking for a loan for the umpteenth time.. n its sms leh.. he got no brains to store the sms.. now im hoping he will ask for the 5th time though.. cos i regret giving him for the 4th time again.. i too nice liao.. ask me for the 5th time n im going to dao him n delete his sms without reply.. HAHA

haircut

went to get a haircut tdy.. i went to the students' section n the pig went to the professional section.. im a cheapo.. haha. tout i need to wait cos there will b mani ppl on wkend.. turned out i had to wait cos there were not enuff trainee hairdressers around.. -.-

so i waited for quite sometime and read magazine.. juz when i started on my hair washing den pig came in.. her haircut was super fast.. den saw her looking left n rite searching for me.. i waved at her but she din c.. -__-'''.. she turned towards me n i waved again.. den she stood behind me n started talking.. i tout she finally saw me.. but den i heard her asking my hairdresser whether she had seen a girl wif long hair.. ???.. i waved from my chair at her again but she din c.. at first my hairdresser said dun have such person.. den later she pointed at me n said "是不是这个?" den pig finally looked down n saw me.. dot dot dot.. had a gd laff.. haa. she said she tout i was already having a hair cut n din expect me to b juz starting on the hair wash..

the trainee took v long to cut my hair.. -___-... i think i took 1 hr to finish.. n the back is not quite like wat i wanted.. -___-.. cant tell tat i have juz cut hair.. pig looked like a pri sch kid though.. haha.. fringe cut until v short

saw one lion dance at the interchange.. the person threw veggies at different directions n some of the veggie got thrown onto ppl.. haa.. den the person oso threw oranges at the ppl.. so cute.. some ppl actually standby n got ready to catch the oranges.. after tat the lion went in the other direction n the floor was a mess of veggie n orange peels n sugercanes..

work

was stoning at the busstop on my way home after jap lessons when i suddenly noticed someone waving at me from the side.. so i turned around n saw my pri sch classmate! wat a coincidence.. she oni stayed two blocks away from me so we still met each other occasionally during jc n uni periods.. but din c her after grad..

took the same bus back n chit chat abt wat we have been doing.. she juz started lessons at nie.. haa. another engineering grad went teaching.. even though the num of females in engr fac is increasing but i think the actual num of females who actually go into engr workscope is v low.. she also duno wat to work as after grad.. same dilemma as me n all my frens.. the degree we got is more like something to show tat we can study rather than something we use to get into our area of specialization.. both of us lamented abt the transition from studying to working.. which is quite hard to get used to initially..

reached home n saw a mail regarding my application for HASE.. wah i duno applied for tat position how mani mths ago.. now den i received the application form.. i tout they rejected me oredi.. the processing is so slow.. -.-.. wont b sending back the form.. the tout of going thru another interview process is v sian.. hope i can get converted to perm when my contract ends.. else have to start all over again

short entry

the gd thing abt public hols is can wake up late.. n after so mani days of hols.. suddenly nt used to waking up early again.. -.-.. if not for the free shuttle bus n going home early i rather go to work 1 hr later.. whole day feel so tired

bought westlife's cd last wk.. nt as gd as the 1st 3 albums.. but after searching for their lyrics online den the songs made more sense n sound nicer.. mayb got time den go search for their 4th to 6th albums to make up the complete collection.. suddenly feel like spending money.. haa. feel like buying headphones.. jigsaw puzzles.. but so far the urge is not tat strong yet

work is getting v sian.. put in so much effort during cny yet din accomplish much.. -_____-

went shopping wif cousin on tues.. first time went shopping during cny so wasnt used to seeing so many shops not open.. two boliao ppl went to try on some sunglasses for fun.. haa. quite surprised tat those frameless specs cost so much.. or mayb its due to the shop.. if i have to buy a new pair of specs i want to buy frameless one! if look nice den mayb i can ditch my contact lens oso..
