North Bridge Road

This Chinese New Year is not a good one for me, for friends and buddies that have known me for some time can imagine my siutation.
I think I should go to Batam to pay a visit to her parent for this session and yet I dun feel good to go. SIgh ~ my mind is in mess. I....

A good theory

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.

He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, "How heavy do you think this glass of water?" The students' answers ranged from 20g to 500g.
"It doesn't matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I
will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.

Morale : We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. When you return home from work, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it into your home. You can pick it tomorrow.

Relax & have a good day!

ah nah hereby wish all of you a happy chinese new year.

Finally, I found that I have not done enough shopping for my grocery for this coming CNY. Hmmm where should I go ?

ChinaTown ?? too crowded....
Orchard Robinson ??? too bore
....this island is really too small to travel around.

Saw this job over the net, quite interesting for me. What is your advise ?

I call my unit this morning and after repeating my story to 2 person and taking down my NRIC. Then they say this is a mistake cause they already have given me 3 month excuse for all exercise from 7 Jan to 6 Apr 2003 due to my medicial review 2 weeks ago. Really most of the organisation have poor administration. Sigh ~ ~

1:19 PM ::
Damn, my unit left a voice mail in my mobile to remind me that tomorrow report camp at 6pm instead of 8am. Thought I told them this morning that I'm being excuse from 7Jan to 6Apr for exercise..gotta call medicial clerk again to reconfirm.

2 min later ....they apologies for their negliance on their paper work and reassure that they will post the formal notice to me by the end of the day.

I left my handphone in the car and something happen in the office this morning. One of the server is down and they try to call me from 9 am this morning ....but I left my handphone in car locker and they regards me as Missing In Action. Morever that evening I receive a Green Letter from SAF to ask me to report this Tuesday for Remedial Training. Wat the Fxxx, I already submit my specialist letter to declare that I have serious astham and now asking me to go back for exercise.

Really have to think again and again to upgrade my Poineer headunit to VDO headunit with changer that is able to read CDR/CDRW disc so that I can compose my favour song instead of buying from outside, but the fact is that I have to top up $226 with 800 shell point.

Somemore, new year is coming and need to give red packet to my parent, brothers and grandma.
Guess this CNY will spend a lot of money, lucky had organise a group of my classmate to come over my place this weekend to play Mahjong, hope can win some money from there.

No mood to blog, cause too many things happen recently. But I really appreciate for all yours help and console for all these days. Thanks to Chantelle dear, Verda and Rykiel.

====== Evening ======
Tonite is my Uni. class gathering for Jan 2003. We have decided to shift from RiverSide point to Bishan Coffee Bean, but becuase of there is only 1 smoker (me lah!) they change to Orange Juli. so that they can stop me from smoking my whole big pack away.
Our next gathering is at my place this Sunday for mahjong session.
10:00 PM Gathering finish and rush home to sleep early for next day work.

After all this years and by the strike of recent email, I have sort out something:

Don't marry a person you can live with....
Marry someone you cannot live without.

To love is nothing...
To be love is something...
To love and be loved is everything...

During the weekend clearing my email at home, I discover this attachment and it strikes my heart. For those who doesn't know mandarin very well, please ask your friend to read out words by word for you.

Last 2 day is total raining weekend, caught in the rain most of time so I dun bother to bath until before I went to sleep.

Thought today I can get MC and rest for another 1-2 days but still, as healthy as usual, come back to work on a blue Monday.

This week will be a busy week for me as my freelance assignment has to complete before this Friday, but for sure there will be request for change when propose to my client.

Sigh ~

Why when I return the digital camera already then I need it. My water pipe outside the corridor is leaking from last noon until when I reach home last nite. Call the HDB maintenance group and they get a guy to come down and recommend me to change a new @#$%#$%. And say that it is under my own cost cause HDB doesn't care about it. Damn it ...will complain to my MP later.

Shit man, my SQL Server backup tape behave abnormal again. Wonder whether is the old tape problem or the file size too huge. Had ask the person-in-charge to purchase another 2 new tape for Mon/Tues and inform the Tech Support Helpdesk to monitor.

Will be back later after lunch.

====== 1:27 PM ======
Just back from lunch, menu is S$4 prawn mee from Keypoint Building, one of my favourite.
Office still very quiet as it is raining now. Lucky I drove to makan and save me from become chicken soup.

Guess today is not a good day, suddenly got a feeling my mood is turning very bad and storm. Feels like taking a 1/2 day off to relax myself. No mood for work, no mood for game.

Sigh ~ ~ no mood to write now. Will come back later.

========11:10 AM==========
Am I being unfair to someone ? if yes, who are they??
I always try my best to be fair and good to everyone. But why still a lot of people saying that I am unfair to them? Why?
I already try my best to be good to everyone. But why still a lot of people saying that I'm not good to them? Why?
I ready ready try my best, I'm ready tired....going to take a 1/2 day off to rest myself.

Yestersday was at Singapore Expo Hall 3, saw some urgly car (except Benz) and taken some shot. Here is the picture.

Song !!!! Wake up late in the monring (8am) and take my own time to go for breakfast without anyone tagging along. Breakfast menu is:
1) MeeHon with Chicken Wing, Fried Egg.
2) 1 Big cup of Soya Bean
3) 2 stick of Paul Mall

Take a stroll back to my house and notice the gals are cooking fried rice for their breakfast! Wow !!!! Take some snapshot and will show it to you later when I back in office.

Last nite, our Curtin old classmates met up at Mr Bean Cafe for dinner and chit chat. Manage to take some digital photos. Our session ends around 11pm and I head down to Mohd Sultan to meet Chantelle, Rykiel and Robin cause Robin is flying back tomorrow...in fact in a few hours time. We have some great time and I had to went back around 1 am.

Finally this morning, I manage to get my USB port working again and connect the Nikon CoolPix 2500 to my comp. and upload my first picture of the month. It is a keychain that I bought when I went over to Perth in 2001.




The next picture is my new work station after the renovation, dun blame me for being messy cause I really very busy with lots of request and complain from users.

Out of sudden....no idea wat to blog cause need to tidy up my life. Sigh ~ ~ just thinking how to clear my remaining 3 day leave in this small island.

I just recall I was being offer a 2 way ticket from SIN to MEL at a good price of $400. But it must be travelled before end of March this year. Tempted to buy but thinking of going alone to there is too bore.

Morever, one of lady boss telling me that there will be a chance for me to go to Japan with them if they manage to organise a big group of tour to there. hee hee .....looking forward for it.

I want to dye my hair for this coming new year. Any suggestion from the floor ????

I'm back yesterday afternoon and had a bad weekend spent over there.
Went to Pub "The Peak" around 11pm, playing pool with the driver and the groups decided to switch to disco.
The disco is call "Club Coin", full of Singaporean and chicks with lots of bengs and lians.
Song is not bad just that never seen a disco playing chinese, malay songs and weird dancer on the table. and even invite a birthday boy to sing song on the stage....

Sigh ~ ~ stay around until 4 am then return to hotel with a tired leg...and guess wat...slept until around 6 am and my leg cramp...idiot...couldn't sleep anymore and decided to keep massaging my leg until 8am for breakfast.

Went around to shop for something but no mood. Manage to buy:

1) 2kg of Ka-Lapis
2) New watch belt
....ready no mood to shop.

Tomorrow me will won't be around in town. Hee hee ...take a short break to swim to another island. But will still miss my buddies over here.

Anyway wan to me buy anything from there ?

First day back to work is already an unpleasant feeling. But didn't know that a lot of things doesn't go well in 2003. I was just thinking I need to give up something in order to gain back some thing. But can it be done?

What is done and cannot be undone? I'm wrong in the first place and I wanted to say sorry. But really hope my friend and buddy can understand i have limited time with her already.

Sigh ~ wish to go somewhere and start afresh and have a time machine so that I can choose again.
