Woke up early and report to work at 7 am today. *yawn* Special day today, got "Operation Excercise" to do. Ended up spent more than 12 hours on site... :(

After working for so long, i soon to realise the importance of good working relationship with pple around you. U help them , they help you. You cover for them , they cover for you too. Its mutual. It SURE make ur work life hell lot easier. Especially for my site work. Well, on the other hand, if they are the "nonunderstanding" type, then ... what can i say?

Its already 7pm, excercise cut, and everyone was trying to finish the last bit of work. Just then, the "troublemaker cum joker" gave us more work and insist we do it now. Well, if we can solve it now, we dun mind, chop chop finish and thats it. But we tried and it doesnt work.... and everyone look so sianz. When the police changed shifts and saw us all crowded inside the room looking at the computer screen with a Very Serious look on our faces, they were shocked. Haha, actually, although we "appear" to be thinking hard and looking serious, but deep in our minds, we are thinking:"When the hell can we go offfffff???!!!" We are too tired and lazy to think now...

Sometimes, at work, one may have to "pretend" to continue the good working relationship with others, even though he or she dun like them very much. Or even to the exent of suffering some form of "harrassment". But Because of work, he or she had to endure. 所谓为大局着想,必须忍气吞声。

Its already late when we finally left the site. My kind site sup allows me to report work after lunch tomorrow for our hard work. YEAH! ^_^

What a pleasant surprise today. :)

While working at one of the access points today, saw my old ex JC classmate at the canteen. Lets see...it was like 5 years already since i last saw her..and she haven changed much!! haha. I can still recognise her!! :D But she was sitting with a bunch of male colleagues so i dare not go forward and say Hi. (Somemore, i dunno if she still recognise me...) Only when she start to leave then i called out to her. (i still remember her name hor :D) ANd she also remembered me!! (or maybe my name is not that hard to rmb..) Seemed like she was already working in PSA for quite some time. What a coincidence to meet her here. :) Its a small world~ Always feel good to see a old friend~ :):):)

"Though we may not be very close among ourselves in JC days, or even Close to being Close to each other, i still glad that we still remember each other .... even till now... "

Dunno why but cant help wondering about the true meaning of this sentence:
Some things are just not meant to be...


R-A-N-D-O-M Sources

"If things are gloomy, I treat it as a lesson and feel I will grow from it.... I am a great follower in meant to be... or not meant to be....my glass is half full... I question everything and try to have a positive outlook on everything. "

"I always hold fast to the idea that everything happens for a reason. Good or bad. That doesn't mean I don't get upset when something bad happens. I do. But I force myself to try and push it aside because I know someday, I'll realize why it happened. Or why something I wanted to happen, never did. I do think some things just weren't to be. "

"I see disasters or things lost as fate's way of directing you to another path. I resist sometimes if it's something I had my heart set on, but it's usually futile. I'm not sure if destiny is part of misfortune though. It seems that it is more the end goal of both misfortune and success.
"

"There is a Universal Law that states "Where thoughts go Energy flows". We are often bombarded with negativity, and we tend to engage in negative thought patterns more often than we realize. Many are unaware of the power of the mind. Our ability to mold and shape our destiny lies within the power of our thoughts. Does this mean directing our thoughts will make our lives simple all the time and that nothing "bad" will ever happen? Of course not. Life will always have its little pitfalls, but through controlling and directing the energy we put out, we make our lives easier. With this effort, our minds become clearer enabling us to remain focused on that which truly matters. Remember also, that like attracts like. If your thoughts are mostly negative,most of what you receive and perceive will be negative as well."

"There are times when i see the glass half empty but i will think of my blessings and see that things arent that bad and that it is actually half full... "

Today is the last week at clementi tuition, but today seems a bit more "热闹" than usual. There are a few more tutess showing up and saw shulin and xinying there too. Oh great! Since Xinying is here already, she can take over my tutoring le, haha. After all, her tutee is my "temp tutee". Today, bought my old "rubiCubes" for them to play, especially SiFang, who so pro at it! Lol. She managed to revert back my unsolvable old cube back to its original colours! Of course, with some "brute force" used too... ;) Haha, gave the cubes to them as gifts since i guess i wont be playing them anyway... (Oh yes, today will be the LAST day she will be calling me "squirrel".. good! :D )

Heard from Xinying that the farrago juniors are K 歌-ing now and they so are also having one next week. HAha,, guess everyone's exams are either finished or almost over le... holiday mood perhaps? :)

Now left about 1 more month for my IA. Hate to say it but i cant deny the fact that pple are already starting to talk and discussing abt their final year coming and how it is going to be a tough year for us. The choosing of FYP projects, going overseas to "escape" HRM and all the academic workload for next sem... *It just sounds so demoralising* And soon, i had to start my IA final report and prepare for my company presentation. And miscellaneous stuff like application for bursary, IPPT, ignite change ...oh man. Busy days coming next during these hols. .. ...

Guess my work environment is not that healthy. Tanjong pagar all the way to harbourfront. Seeing the many towering high rise office buildings all around me... all the office pple walking hectily here and there for work.... all the container trucks wheezing past me, with their black exhaust fumes and noisy engines... So much traffic! peoples and vehicles. Looks as if they are "fighting" for space. oh man. They create a some sort of "unseen" pressure around me subconsciously. *suffocate*

Further west.... Pasir panjang ....

Had been going there for the past few days for site work. (still 'territory' of PSA) I rarely goes there but like the feeling of being there. Unlike other gates of PSA, there are few or No high rise buildings and u can see the clear blue sky there clearly. And i really mean it. I mean, look above u and where can u ReallY see the sky without any obstructions? The air there smells fresher too. haha. :) Not much traffic there too... can see the pasir panjang wholesale market just nearby and of course, haw par villa! Ahh... sweet place to go during childhood days. ^_^ Now i think its still open but it looks very deserted ...what a pity though... (or maybe i should explore once again someday...during work! heee..)


phew...feel a bit more relax now. .. ...

A change of environment is good sometimes. :)

Oh...which reminds me too..now is also the exam period...everyone is feeling the "stress". Well, JiaYou everyone!! =D It will be over soon~! (Not like mine, got 1.5 months to gooo...) Anyway, saw a few interesting jokes in a magazine. ;)

HIGH FLIER

The boss called one of his employees into the office. "Steven," he said, "you've been with the company for a year. You started off in the post room, one week later you were promoted to a sales position, and one month after that you were promoted to district manager of the sales department. Just four short months later, you were promoted to vice- chairman.

Now it's time for me to retire, and I want you to take over the company. What do you say to that?"
"Thanks," said the employee.
"Thanks?" the boss replied. "Is that all you can say?"
"I suppose not," the employee said. "Thanks, Dad."

TRUE CONFESSIONS

Bill sat alone in the hospital room at his dying wife's bedside. Hooked up on life support, her voice was a little more than a whisper.

"Bill darling," she breathed. "I've got a confession to make before I die... I ... I'm the one who took the $10,000 from your safe in the house ... I have also been sleeping with your best friend, Jimmy. And i am the one who reported you to the government for income tax evasion..."

"It's okay." said Bill. "I have a confession too. I'm the one who poisoned you."


PRAISE THE LORD!

There's a little old Christian lady living next door to an atheist. Every morning the lady comes out onto her front porch and shouts "Praise the Lord!".

The atheist yells back, "There is no God".

She does this every morning with the same result. As time goes on, the lady runs into financial difficulties and has trouble buying food. She goes out onto the porch and asks God for help with groceries, then says "Praise the Lord".

The next morning she goes out onto the porch and there's the groceries she asked for, and of course, she shouts "Praise the Lord!!!".

The atheist jumps out from behind a bush and says, "Ha, I bought those groceries - there is no God".

The lady looks at him and smiles, she shouts "Praise the Lord, not only did you provide for me Lord, you made Satan pay for the groceries!!"

Feeling very tired these few days. :( Workload is getting heavier ... and the way my office supervisor speak to me are really so 不客气 sometimes... haiz. Site work is tougher than u thought. After all, u been there too before...u should know better. Or is it sitting in the office too long blur ur mind? *haha* Lately, seem to become more and more like "uncle", like to drink kopi and teh-O during breaks. (just like those workers there. haha) Which reminds me, guess "someone" at work is still having good wine and cheese ba... good life. :P *thinking of my kopi and teh* 同人不同命啊~哈哈~ :P

And i had my first online bid at ebay too, bought a second hand psp, which results in a VERY UNPLEASANT deal, got "cheated". Dun wish to talk abt it.

工作上又出现了变化。原本以为解决了的问题,又出现了。回想起来,还真好笑。原本以为“‘四’个臭皮匠可以胜过一个诸葛亮”,没想到反而被那个‘诸葛亮’“整”! 哈哈! 四个人脑都斗不过一个电脑。真可笑。:0

事情是这样的:我和我的site上司在想办法让电脑的莫个程序跑,可是却不成功。其他的两个同事知道了之后,便赶过来帮忙,可是也无可奈何。正当大家放弃了,准备回家时,电脑病毒突然发作,电脑完全瘫痪! 恭喜恭喜! (现在大家可以不用回家了~ ^_^ ) 那时看他们两个面面相觑的样子,嘴巴张得大大的,真滑稽!:D 而我和我的site上司却在一旁偷笑,因为我们早已发现那病毒的存在,只是没想到会在这时候“发作”而已。说巧也未免太巧了吧。哈哈 ...

我也没这么担心了,因为我知道我不会是一个人来承担这责任。;) 有人陪你一起共进退的感觉真好。:)

OT.

Screw Up. 有时候觉得命运还真爱捉弄人。How to say ... things are actually fine initially but somehow when one person goes and "touch" it, the whole thing goes haywire. (As if anyone can predict that anyway) And thats what happened. Oh ...... damn!!!

很感谢"你们"留下来替我收拾"残局"。尤其是Miss XY,不但害到你错过了你的电影,也害到你错过了你同学的聚会。实在不好意思。虽然到头来,并没有完全做完,但还是对你感激不尽。:)

10.45pm.
回家吧。明天再继续。。。

今天是个雨天。大雨天。

Company Presentation. Everything did not turn out fine. They gave some 不重听的话. Dunno whats wrong with me today too. =/ Something pessismistic about my presentation style. Gives everyone a "pessismistic" viewpoint. haiz. think my sup also does not seem that satisfied too. 唉,还是别提了。。。:(

回家的路上,我的其中一个同事向我诉苦。基本上就是说她对我们的上司的不满(对咯,其实,我也不是很喜欢接触他。感觉他有时忽冷忽热的。)但是也不可能每个上司都是个大好人吧?世上各种各样的人都有。好的,坏的,怪的。每个人不可能都是“天使”般吧?我们也只能学着跟着他们相处。。。

过后她还跟我说起发生了一些不高兴的“办公室政策”。“无形的剑”是最可怕的。 有时候,一个人的“努力”会间接造成另一个人的“伤害”。也许。。。她真的是无恶意?或许。。。她真的不知情?唉~人心难测啊~~

不过一点是肯定的。。。
从她的眼神中,可以看到她的无奈与无助。


接下的几天将会是乌云密布,接着雷声隆隆,大雨随之而来。
~ 惨了,我什么时候变得这么悲观啊?~

Oh yes...finally weekend came. Cant say how much i missed weekend. A break from work. :)

Sat, went down to clementi centre for tuition. Hmm, except for melvina and kokping, the rest of the "老人" i dont really know who they are. :P Some never seen before, must be even more "老". :P And my tutee was ting kai, a secondary school student. The moment we met, he threw down his english summary for me to edit. Wow. I mean its been a long time since i last did english summary and all the while i have been teaching pri sch kids ... (somemore my english quite cui de.. =x )And the more i see him, i found him very familiar. I asked him if he went for sparks this year. HE said he did! :D (no wonder so familiar...) Then i asked him which group he was, he said "Jumbo". (!!! ISnt that my group?!) I asked him the critical question: did he know or remember who i am? HE said dunno. (omg, i failed my role as a GL liao, like that also cant rmb me. haha, cant blame him too, cause i also cant rmb him too when i first saw him. hee. =x)

Weekend spent my time watching High School Musical 3. I had never seen before 1 and 2 before but i REALLY enjoyed this. HAha, really nice. (i dunno abt the rest, some said the reviews nt gd.) The plot is not bad, kinda reminds me of my sec schooling days, the graduation and so on. :):):) And it need some kind of adjusting while watching too, since its a musical, where every now and then, they just sing a song in between scenes. At first, i find it irritating where they just sing songs "suddenly" but then... Some songs are really nice. :) The lyrics are meaningful in a way, cause that may be exactly how we feel during those days. ;)
A Night To Remember, The Boys Are Back, I Want It All, Now Or Never

But i like this SONG the BEST:

Just Wanna Be With You (Sweet,romantic version)
Just Wanna Be With You (Funny version)
Just Wanna Be With You (Actual performance)

High School Musical 3
Just Wanna Be With You Lyrics:
I've got a lot of things I have to do..
All these distractions
Our future's coming soon
We're Being pulled
A hundred different directions
But whatever happens
I know I've got you
You're on my mind you're in my heart
It doesn't matter where we are
It'll be alright
Even if we're miles apart

*Chorus*
All I wanna do,
Is be with you be with you
there's nothing we can't do
Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us nothing can break us apart...
(You know it's true)
I just wanna be with you (Be with you)

You know how life can be
It changes over night
It's sunny, but raining, but it's alright
A friend like you..
Always makes it easy
I know that you kidding me every time.
Through every up through every down
You know I'll always be around
Through everything you can count on me..

*Chorus*
I just wanna be with you...
