15 January, THIS IS IT!
This could be my last post.
A lot of things went passed lately and I'm glad the positive ones have overshadowed the negative. I'll take it that 2009 will be a better year! The best of all, I have materialized what I said in my earlier post on 911. Probably it took me a while to get this done, but I considered myself lucky enough to be able to get what I want during this economy downturn.
Anyway, things gonna start all over again, and there're more long weekends this year, isn't it!?! Come to think of it, I haven't been on holiday for a long time~ Hmm... let's just put that into my "To-Do" list.
Hmm... about new year resolutions... will list it out soon, but probably it won't be in black n white. I'm more comfortable to have it underneath my skin...
Have a great year ahead folks!!
*peace out*

1 December, 完蛋Mee!
It doesn't take long for me to remove the Tanjong Pagar Plaza's Wanton Mee off my Top Ten "Die-Die Must Eat" Food List. Last week, I headed down with Ah Ger and wanted to show her the legendary Wanton Mee stall, but it was a disappointment trip.
The soup didn't taste as good (I need to add soya sauce!!), and the mee didn't trigger my taste bud either. I was struggling with that bowl of mee while Ah Ger looked rather contented with her veggies. Anyway, I got the Mango Ice Kajang and Black Chao Kuey as compensation.
Finally, we had our long waited BBQ on last Saturday night. It wasn't a good trip for Nacho since his share of food wasn't on the BBQ pit, but I'm sure he had demonstrated how 'brave' he was when he barked repeatedly at a Golden Retriever that was at least 5 times his size.
Another Monday, another month, and another year. How about another job?!?

21 November, Firefox revived!
Ok, now I can blog again. It's not that I got nothing to share, bitch, or recite for the past two weeks. It's just that I couldn't write my posting since firefox was 'burnt' during then. Now that the fox is alive, be it a pair of listening ears or reading eyes, thanks for 'tuning' in.
Anyway, 2008 is ending in less than two months time. Maybe many of you will be having those holidays mood with X'mas and New Year, but I feel differently. To be honest, I feel that 2007's Xmas was just yesterday. I guess the time flashes by too quickly that I couldn't even feel it at all. I have one of my 2005 resolutions fulfilled, getting a mass comm degree, so what's next? I must admit it was a tough one after going through the struggles of writings and writings.
So have you done your Christmas shopping already? You know, getting those stuffs for your colleagues, or for some gift exchange party. I suppose this year I don't have to get anything coz' technically speaking, I don't really work in the office most of the time. Hmm... maybe I should get something for Nacho instead.
It was Shi-Ting's wedding last Saturday, and I experienced the worst parking place of all time, Liang Court! My folks and I was stucked in the multi-stories carpark for more than 45mins before we can even see the main road! Somebody please do something!!
Oh ya, I just collected the huge family photo last week. It was in 30R, and it cost me over 500 bucks!! But I guess it's worth it since it has been a long time everyone took a photo together. Or there isn't even one at all?!? Somehow, everyone looks like mannequin in that picture. So now, gotta get that wall drilled and put it up.

4 November, Kill Jabba!
Feeling so sianz about coming into my blog and see the same old shitz with no updates? Well... my apology folks. I was kind of tied up with my new vidz for my crew and also preparation for reservist. I don't mean I need many days just to pack my stuffs, but I do need a lot of time to disseminate my "4-in-1" which is now currently back to it origin position. I mean my tummy lah!
A low key in-camp training is always a time for me to expand my circle of friends since I always met different platoon mates every time I went back.
Anyway, nothing major has changed so far, which means I'm still facing the same old shitz. As mentioned above, I've finished a theme vidz for my club recently, and personally I'm pretty satisfied with it. However, what really amused me was the comment someone gave. I do appreciate the compliment, but as for the 'extra' comment, it was really uncalled for. The comment was pointing towards me instead of my vidz. It goes something like "He has to be fark to get the job done."
Huh?!? Since when I got fark from anyone? Even my boss didn't do that to me, let alone others! So SHE thinks it's her credits for farking me up? Gosh!! For Jabba's sake!! Please don't claim the credits that you don't deserve!! It sounded like she wanna make it as if she's the one in dominance. Nah~ she's ain't cleopatra, neither she's marilyn monroe!! She's just blending in so she could create some awareness.
As a matter or fact, everyone will be aware of her presence when she tries to blend in, physically...

9 Oct, Favoritism? Unfairness? Inequity? Or simply incompetent?
You name it, we have it! I'm referring to my company's management. So what if you have been around for the longest period of time? So what if you're in the business for years? If you can't even manage all of your staffs, you still consider yourself as a manager? Oh come on~ somehow, it really makes me wonder why you're still here in the first place. Or should i say why I AM still here. Throughout my previous work experience, no matter how fark up a superior is, he/she still able to do a decent job. However, not for this case. We got managers who can't manage, and the so call leaders who can't lead. Why so? If you wanna give something to your staffs, make sure every single staff gets it. You don't leave anyone out. Oh ya, for now, it's a group. You wanna do something, do it in style. You don't do a half-fark job!
Communication problem has been a huge issue here. Sometimes I wonder what is the email or mobile phone for? Most probably, it's for you to call to the close peers you got? Or it's just another gadget that you don't really know how to operate?
To the specific incompetent "MANY-JERS": Sometimes, there are small little stuffs/issues that you can't be bother. I mean it's not about the monetary matter here. However, these small little stuffs can mean a lot to a single staff. Pl....please.... use your blain~

24 Sept, Ctrl+ Alt + Del
In your windows term, it simply means restart or reboot. However, the combination of buttons doesn't imply much of the same definition in real life - at least to me.
Celebrations were cool for my big THREE. "New-Yorking" with the Ibmers, a small cake from my head DJ's girl, a few shots with Timo-J and Mr. Columbus, Italian fine dining with my kakis, and the best of all, a huge Tiramisu birthday cake from Ah-Ger this year. Although it looked more like a "HUAT" cake, I'm sure it will brings tonnes of good luck huh~ As the candles went off, I knew what I want to achieve next.
I was stuck with "One too many mornings" spell lately. It just went on and on in my nest, during transit, and whenever my lappy is on. It gives me a feeling which I have not felt it for ages, it stirs my brain juice, and the best part, it inspires. You might be wondering what does it inspires.
Well... if you do follow up, you'll know later.
Meanwhile, I gonna make the best out of my almost 30K paper... taking my first step~

11 Sept, Coming up next...
The convocation ain't fantastic apart from the gathering with my group mates. Some how I've became a statue or something for many people to take pictures with. I mean it feels great that being that 'statue' and I got a personal choreographer too - Blur Queen Jasmine. I think she has inherited her action-pack gestures from her dad. A cool dad in fact.
It's 9/11 again and many may have recalled the tragedy seven years ago. The topic still surfaces during my birthday dinner over at Citylink's NYNY last night. It was later transited to baby's topic. I was kind of bored with those unrelated stuffs, so I just kept eating my stuffs. There will be more dinners next week and more weights to be gain.
So it's gonna be the beginning of my golden age huh... you know what I'm saying?! Yes, I'm gonna do something about it, and not gonna sit down there and whine about my work, my life, my paycheck.
Start observing, and you gonna see a difference...

27 Aug, VJ turns ONE
It's been a year since I became a vj. Well, nothing glamorous for me as I'm working behind the scene most of the time, in fact all the time. Everyone likes recognition. It's no different for me. I've been trying to pave my way, but you know, sometimes you gotta be patience. Patience huh~ ya, I got a limit too. I'm not saying that I'm getting impatient, but I would rather admit that I wanna get immensely involved in the communication sector.
As we know, everyone can be complaining about their lifestyle, their career, and their paycheck. However, if they gonna do nothing to it, nothing gonna change. I hope you get what I mean. Ya, I'm looking for opportunities to get involved in the communication industry. After all, I did complete my mass comm studies, and will be graduating tomorrow.
Toughy asked me the other day if I feel a thing for the convocation. Having the same sentiment, I don't feel anything great either. Toughy's right. We will won't feel it unless there's a change, and the core factor will come from the piece of white paper that we've struggled so hard to achieve.
Most probably I'll be looking forward to see our Motherly Carrine, Toughy Karen, Girlie Kimberly, and not forgetting lecturers like Sunny and Lisa. Hmm... hopefully I can get to speak to Ms Hudson too! Maybe she'll become my potential employer! Hahaha~

22 Aug, Influencing or Influenced?
Sony gonna launch its high-res PSP 3000 later this October and with a built-in microphone that enables it to use like a phone. In fact, the phone function, that made use of Skype, was already in the market earlier this year. I'm sure many PSP lovers would like their old ones to be upgraded.
Playing games on the move ain't a bad idea as long you don't cause any trouble to other commuters. On top of that, US researchers had mentioned playing video games improves manual dexterity among surgeons, making them faster and less likely to make mistakes. How true? I'm ain't sure. But imagine having surrounded by a few surgeons, and with them playing with the operation knifes above your body. Gosh~ I'm sure that's quite a view huh!
On the other hand, video games can be quite a dangerous tool too. For instance, Thailand has banned the Grand Theft Auto computer game after a disturbed teenager allegedly killed a taxi driver in a copycat crime. How ridiculous? Not really, just like the kids here in Singapore, they got influenced by the WWE superstars' finishing moves and try to perform those stunts. Personally I've witnessed some school kids mimicking those stunts at the playground around my area.
(Overheard while a kid trying to perform the famous Undertaker's choke-slam)
Kid 1: Ok, later you must jump.
Kid 2: Okok.
Kid 3: I want to do tomb-stone!
I really dunno what's in those kids' head. Maybe they've been brainwashed!

19 Aug, Waiting, Working, Wandering, Wondering
If anyone gonna ask me, I'll say, I didn't enjoy this trip. Maybe the only good thing was the stuffs I bought for myself and ah-ger. The stay was just too short and some accidents had occurred due to the aggressive individuals. The good thing was, everyone is back in a piece. Had wasted time too much time to wait for this and that. We all agree we hate the waiting game, but it will still happen. You rush to meet the time, yet you'll end up waiting for the late comers! WTF!!
On top of that, the itinerary was tight. There was a time limit for every activity , and even for sleep! I'm not kidding! I had slept for less than five hours in each day. I felt kind of grouchy though.
Anyway I've picked up a valuable lesson along the way in the conversation with an ex-military officer. He said he practiced OODA Loop all the time.
"What's OODA?" I questioned.
"Observe, Orient, Decide, Act". He elaborated with his daily routine as example, and I thought that was important to know. This is a strategic concept originated by military strategist Col. John Boyd of the United States Air Force.
Our conversation had stretched further when I've asked about his active days. His words just flowed smoothly and I wished I had more time to listen more of his stories coz' I guessed that really differentiate the reality and the war movies.
With OODA added to my brain bank, I guessed I have to blend that well into my triple P's strategy.

12 Aug, Jin Kang Kor to win Olympig?
Ok, Tao Li didn't make it to the top three. So? What's the problem with that?
"Wah Lao! Only come in fifth!" - A 'top-management' thinker.
"How come didn't strike gold?!" - A 'full-time' 4D investor.
"There goes her fat BONUS!" - A 'humble' civil servant.
It was rather interesting to see how our people actually responded to this massive sports campaign. I mean, we don't have to take it too hard if our representatives didn't win anything. So what if they did win gold medal? Is that gonna make you proud as a Singaporean when you stepped into others' motherland? Nah~ you represent yourself! Not Tao Li, I mean if she make it.
However, there's no point to discuss or debate such topic with self-assertive individuals, you know it's just hard to win the "olympigs".
Sometimes, I can really 'sense' the bird-brain in some of you who gave senseless comments or ridiculous remarks.

9 August, We, the citizen of Jin Kang Kor...
So did you win anything on the 8 million ToTo? Well, 8 person just turn millionaire overnight and they must be enjoying their National Day either in a car showroom, or maybe taking a second look at the property brochure that was left untouched on the coffee table. Bloody hell! I gotta postpone my retirement again.
"What?!? You're thinking of retiring?" You might asked.
"Yup! I mean everyone has that in mind, it's just a matter of time!"
There isn't many flags flying in my area this National Day. Hmm... It's kind of unusual coz' if I could still recall, most 'bricks' were painted with red and white stripes. Maybe the people just couldn't care if they did or not, and flying your flag means nothing but following orders like what you did in the past. Coz' if you're patriotic, you don't need anyone to tell you what to do with that mother flag of yours.
I mean if you really have one, don't you?!?

5 Aug, F.ART!
Anything's possible. Ya, even retrieving data from my hard disk which I had it formatted accidentally. I thought everything was gone from the moment I saw the USB was attached to my lappy, till I found the 'antidote' online. Now gotta wait till the COMEX and get my one tera-station, coz' 250GB is simply not enough.
You know sometimes, I really wonder what's going on in 'these' people's minds. They ignored your words and started their way of doing things. The end result, which was very much anticipated, sucks BIG time.
If you're do not have the expertise in that particular field, oh please..."Mai Kay Kiang" and please leave it to the professional. Coz' you may have demonstrated your incapability and makes a fool of yourself.
And that came from a designer," What's that hanging? It just makes no sense." I couldn't defend that, coz' I couldn't agree more with the comment she made.
"It's better to do without it, coz' it's blocking the lightings, hindering the overall ambience, and worst of all, it's just messy!" She added.
"Er...I suppose that's call art?"
"What!?! Art?!? Hahahaha~ A 'Frivolous ART' !"

1 Aug, 7181
Why 7181? Well... it's the 1st of August and 1st day of the lunar seventh month, or so call the ghost month. Everyone, especially the Chinese is getting extremely careful when it comes to hanging out late at night at some secluded or ulu places. Some postpone their renovation plan, their holiday trip and also registering of marriages. So I suppose the sales won't be hitting their average this month, except the bidders or people who participated in the "Ge-Tai". I could still remember there was once I overheard the highest bidder, for a joss stick gold pot, went above 140K, and the news came out the very next day. Maybe I should join in the crowd this year and feel the ambience.
Personally, I believe they exist everywhere around us since I have a few encounters with 'them'. The fact is, sometimes I do experience unexpected noise over here and there. I'm kind of getting used to it. As long they stay at their own bay, I'm fine with that. Hopefully can "HUAT" abit this month too~ So folks, remember to buy ibet huh~
And it's Carrine's birthday! I bet she must be enjoying herself over at Norway. Arugh~

30 July, DLV
A DJ told me that my cdjs and mixer worth around 250 bucks. However, another told me it was worth double that sum. The third person (not a DJ) told me, go for 1k. Conclusion, I sold the pair without mixer for 600. Sheldon was cool with 600 as he thought it was a decent deal. It was a swift transaction.
Lesson learnt: If one is not competant or doesn't know the market well (for this instance), I guess it's better not to open your mouth and emits the hollow sound noise. You've just expressed DLV - demonstration of low value.
Next month gonna be my convocation and I'm sure many of us in BAMC are looking forward after 2.5 yrs of hardwork and still hardwork. Grumbles and nags on school work will be the past, while bitching and more bitching about the company's idiots/bitches will help us destress at work.

So what's with all the charity shows? How am I suppose to believe in all these charity organizations again? Maybe there are more similar cases that are yet to be discovered.
Another chapter had ended for Uncle Wong as he packed his stuffs and left the company last evening, for good. Well, I don't really know the actual situation, but the fact is he had departed.
At the same time, today's gonna be Andy's last day of service. He's heading for what he wanted all along. I'm happy for him in a sense. And there goes two good staffs.

16 July, Sparks
Ain't referring to the love sparks here. I'm talking about friction, disagreement and argument. It was coincidence that a few of us, had experienced 'sparks' at work especially this month.
It didn't took long for Tamako to vent out her frustration, and Rolando shared a similar story later. At the same time, Ger faced a colleague who showed immature behavior. Well, the bottom line is "Un-professionalism". I couldn't stress further. Maybe one should just react accordingly irregardless of the position s/he holds. Tamako slammed her boss, Rolando chose to ignore, Ger reasoned it out, and me, I responded by slamming, reasoning, then ignore. I don't really care what's gonna happen to me now or later, I'm just doing things which considered rational.
"I can't be bothered about what you wanna tell me, coz' I find it so hard for me to believe your words, your actions, and your integrity."
The past seemed to be so pretentious after the eruption.I suppose it was good for me coz' it didn't took me that long to see your true self.

9 July, Transfer Season
To some of you who has been reading my crappy blog and showed concern, I wanna thank you and I really appreciate that. It wasn't easy to go through the dark and bumpy road alone. However, I'm glad some of you did light up the path for me, especially ah-ger with that "parabolic aluminized reflector - PAR can".
Didn't really slept well these few days due to my 'semi-active' mind.
Many to ponder, many may wonder. Maybe it's good to be like Bender. "Kiss my shiny metal ass!"
It's like in the Premier League. Unforeseen circumstances, unexpected transfers, unimaginable sums of money, and it's just a matter of zeros behind the equation.
It feels good to be approached by people who think highly of your capabilities and it can be quite flattering too. On the other hand, whether they're painting a perfect picture in front of you is another story altogether. Meanwhile, I just gotta observe the situation.
Today's Mum & Jessa's birthday! *Cheers*

30 Jun, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
It seems like this post gonna be skewed towards the dark side from the title's equation. It's like having two bad news and one good news. So which one would you prefer me to reveal first? Almost everyone will opt for the bad news first coz they wanna be left with an optimistic feeling, or at least a little positive after all news were revealed. However, sometimes this is not the case.
So what's good? Getting to know my buddy who found himself a new girl, is a good news. Knowing a significant change in my reservist schedule, is a good news. Being recognized as an elite by the Brigade General, is a good news.
What's the bad and ugly now? Dealing with people who forgot what they said and claimed to something they did not, is bad news. Realized you're treated like a second class 'citizen', is both bad and ugly news. Being taken for granted of, is really shitty news.
Ya, it's true. This is part and parcel of life. I mean, I should be already aware of. Maybe I've put down my armor some time ago, and I guess I got to pick that up again.
Then again, I reminded myself.
"Why bother when you can live without it!"

26 Jun, Don't try!
You're making me sick with all your pathetic and unconvincing act after I've unearthed certain things about you. It can be from someone else, or it can be me witnessing with my very eyes.
Don't try to be friendly to me. Don't try to be so concern about me. Don't try, please... coz' your mask ain't working this time, or next time.
Neither I'm begging you nor challenging you. I just couldn't stand your feign smile that hides numerous booby traps, and the act of kindness that is in fact worthless in any sense.
If I pose a threat to you in any sense, I'm sorry that I didn't meant to. Else, just be yourself in front of me. I already have some fakies around and I don't want to do another addition.
