long time no blog.. feeling v sian.. tout of blogging to grumble while on my way back from work but den now dun feel like scolding ppl liao.. juz one thing to complain: i hate meetings. meetings tat r ineffective n waste everybody's time.. meetings tat go beyond the stipulated time n cause ot.. frequent meetings tat occur at unholy hours like 10pm.. meetings tat r none of my business n yet i still have to attend.. -__-.. sometimes it seems like they all dun mind attending these types of meetings.. mayb they r dedicated to their jobs.. mayb they dun have a life..

the taiwan trip is more or less settled.. finally booked the air tickets n hotels at the natas fair.. going free n easy is really not easy.. its just like doing a project.. need lots of research n preparation work.. n the way i prepare is just like the way i do projects: i start out v enthusiastic n den run out of steam halfway.. feeling a bit sian oredi cos too much info to digest.. luckily im not the oni one planning or else i may just call off the trip cos its too much hassle.. =X.. hopefully for the next trip i can take a backseat n let someone else do the planning.. :p

tdy my team lead asked me if i want to b a SK champion.. i guessed i have not much valid reasons to decline so i just told her my concerns n she said she will work together with me.. so ok lor do lor.. basically no pt telling her u dun want to do cos she will "taiji" ur fears away.. unless u so busy until no time to go toilet.. the sian thing is must present during weekly meetings n since im the first one doing the sk i have nobody to "reference" to.. sigh. think my team lead oso noe im those who wont budge if im not being pushed.. no arrows = no work.. hopefully i get used to speaking up den will have more VISIBILITY lor.. this is the word of the yr

the company v "innovative".. everything oso call champion.. manage equipment called resources champion.. do sk called sk champion.. mayb like tat will reflect better in the performance review cos it sounds v nice.. so if i charge batteries im a battery champion.. help juniors review code change is called review champion.. leave home at 5 everyday is called everyday leave on the dot champion.. everyday drink tea is called tea champion.. everyday feel tulan is called tulan champion.. even bad things oso sound nice when u add a champion after it

now im feeling like a tulan champion cos the travel plans keep changing.. initially fixed on austin.. but realised air tix too exp, apartment not enough place to sleep, transit too long.. den thinking of going LA.. flight looks cheaper.. but then colleagues say not worth spending so much to go there for 1 wk oni.. n then wat rubbish abt racism or gang fights.. come back den pig say can go taipei if we avoid the places she planning to go in july.. halleluya! but den she duno where her frens planning to go.. @#$@#$@#$.. i think the best is we ALL dun go n wait till my bro comes back n i accumulate enough leave den we all go japan n dance para para

tdy is a gd day.. feeling happi.. lol. early morn got one issue but i managed to throw it out of my basket in the afternoon.. team lead asked me to help out with some setup issues but i was looking at the issue so i cant help.. den when i threw it out liao i got free time to myself.. hee

these few days the rain god seem to have wised up after my scolding.. no rain for 3 consecutive days! shld have scolded it sooner if i had known..

when things go well gd things oso fall from the sky.. suddenly got free movie to watch cos pig's co treating its employees to movie n her colleague cant go.. so i went to fill up the vacancy.. heh heh. movie is dream girls.. not bad.. abt 3 gals aspiring to b singers n their ups n downs.. basically the whole movie is sing n sing n sing from beginning to the end.. all their songs sound abt the same.. everything oso can sing.. happi oso sing, sad oso sing.. like a musical like tat.. but the songs not bad. i wonder if they realli sang it themselves.. vocals so powerful.. can go join american idol liao..

came home n called some helpdesk in USA to help reset my company stock account.. no local branch.. -__-.. luckily it turned out easier than expected.. no angmoh slang.. can understand.. lol. n the woman v patient.. she even waited at the other end of the phone for me to try n login.. but the prob is i did not start up my laptop when i called.. so i had to wait for the lao kok kok laptop to start up.. think it took around 10 mins? forgot to switch on modem oso.. zzz.. i asked her if i can just sign in myself.. she said she wants to make sure im can login successfully.. prob is overseas calls r exp.. -__-.. so paiseh at the speed of my laptop.. mayb its time to buy a new one at the IT show.. haa

tdy i felt 2 tremors from the earthquake.. at first i tout got some joker shaking the table.. but when i turned around i din c anybody.. den got commotion in office saying its an earthquake.. after lunchtime got another one.. but later got email saying they checked the building is ok n no need to evacuate.. -__-.. ppl in city area got evacuate.. y we dun have.. aniway this is the first time we got to experience an "earthquake".. my fren said its fun.. -__-''

started to plan for the trip.. so mani uncertainties! sian.. duno leave will b approved or not.. approve liao duno got air tix or not.. den theres accommodation oso.. tdy i was toking to my bro.. was planning to take 5 days leave from 21 to 25.. den he say take 1 more leave for 18 so we can reach on sat afternoon n make full use of the wkend.. ok great i used up all my leave again.. duno how long it will take for me to accumulate again..

so the leave plan is settled.. accommodation-wise he said his apartment oni 1 room.. 2 ppl have to sleep on floor.. -__-... asked him can buy mattress or something like tat.. he said not worth it.. den he say he sleep on floor lor.. but the pt is he ok other ppl not ok..

was thinking of applying for leave oredi when he msged me saying his visa is oni valid for 3 mths.. tats when the blood-puking part came:

bro: hey my visa only valid for 3 mths.. cannot stay till 26 liao
me: ok den how? whens ur last day?
me: i mean ur visa
bro: 18
bro: u take leave from 16 to 23
bro: i leaving on 18
me: 16? but u leaving on 18?
bro: ya.. den i extend till 23
me: i tout u say ur last day is 18?
me: i mean ur visa
bro: no. 18 is 84th day
bro: means i die die must leave on 23 lah
me: yalah so ur last day of visa is 23.. *faint*

sometimes its realli exasperating toking to guys.. they toke to us like we r some morons when we dun get it.. n den they dun get it y we get unhappy over such a small issue when in fact we r unhappy cos they toke to us like morons

need to wait for him to apply for leave.. need to wait for him to extend his apartment lease.. as if i dun have enough things to take note of, my mum tried to b funny by tricking me tat my sis is not going.. so i asked my sis.. she say duno lah.. KNN. heck care.. dun want to go den dun go.. asked my mum y she say pig not going when she nvr say.. she say u so gullible ah? i bluff u u oso believe.. @#$@#$. try to trick me one more time n im not booking ur air tix

work is sian, planning for trip is sian, weather even more sian.. think the stupid rain god got something against office workers.. everyday rain when i want to go home.. 5pm go home? 5pm rain.. 6pm leave? 5pm show black face.. like want to rain dun want to rain.. trying to b funny.. den rain n rain.. cant u just rain in the morning or afternoon or nite when ppl r in the office.. stupid idiot..

feeling v sian.. work is getting v boring.. my current feeling is 等等等等! 等吃，等下班，等睡，等死 .. everyday go office n wait for work.. no work den wait for lunch.. lunch liao wait for work.. no work den feel like sleeping.. cant sleep so wait for time to go home.. got work oso sian cos its always not relevant to wat i do..

colleague going overseas for work so team lead ask me to take over the task of keeping the equipment.. sai kang but can help promote "visibility" within the dept cos other team ppl will come n borrow equipment.. tdy is just my 2nd day n oredi got 2 ppl come n "ka jiao" me.. seems like everybody's timing is always v off.. when i got work den ppl come n borrow equipment or msn me.. when im bored to death den nobody msn me.. -__-.. n everytime when ppl msn me sure got ppl at my desk.. @#$@#$

actually keeping equipment is also not bad.. nothing to do can just charge batteries.. the co pay me to sit there charge batteries.. sigh.. think my performance review this yr will b v v bad
