"to find a better job, n a gd gf!!"... i was like huh? ohh no, my mum is on to me liaoz... hahaha cus 25 yrs oso no have one... tink its abt time she start to worry for me liaoz hahaha :P

wore my fiorentina jersey to bai nian hahaha :P looks abt weird but ok lah... i like the color n the design... only flaw is tat its material is those abit tight fitting type... so if i got muscles will look even nicer hehehe :P maybe can try go train train abit...

one tingy funny when we reach ah-ma's house... ah-ma cant seem to tell me n my bro apart hahaha... cus we abt the same height n size now... diff is my bro is way older than me but i tink i look abt older than him bah... tats y ah-ma keep mistaking the 2 of us hahaha :P

wasn't able to meet up with my god-parents at ah-ma's house... so maybe gotta go to their house to bai nian some other day... came home abt 12.30pm... was kinda tired so took a nap... but the relatives start coming in at abt 2.30pm... n tat started my babysitting job... cus all the kids wanna play ps2... they r soooo loud n noisy loh... even the little boys oso scream in high pitch hahaha... cannot stand them...

but luckily they left 1 by 1 after dinner... then my room is back to normal :P n time to haf my dinner liaoz...

tis morning came home abt 5am... then eat abit then go slp at 7am... but then i woke up at 10am... dont know y oso, i just suddenly wake up...

went to TM again just now to upgrade my scv action seekers plan to ultimate plan... n exchanged my analog set top box with a digital set top box... so now i would be paying abt $100/mth for cable tv... but got 2 set top box n can watch almost every channels :P cus got a few channels still gotta be purchased separately... still i find it worth it lah... cus i can afford it already n parents could watch cantonese shows now... n i can watch more movies, documentaries n cartoons! hahaha

stop by ntuc at TM just now... kaoz loh, the place is like having sales but not loh... alot of ppl buying cny food loh i just wanna go buy sotong balls n meat balls oso beri hard to walk through all the ppl n trolleys... hai~ then i decided not to buy the italia T-shirt in isetan... cus i realise the blur is abit too bright, n might not be suitable for me hehe...

then went to the world of sports to look at the puma shoe again... cus find it nice oso... cost $89... but i already got a new shoe... if i buy another one would be like wasting $$ already... so tis time gotta control...or maybe use the cny ang baos tat i would be getting to buy it hehehe :P wonder if i would still get more than $100 for tis cny... cus once we get older the angbaos start to decrease every year hahaha

wah sai... ytd do pm shift at RW3 thgt can go home after airfield close at 7pm... but then when we reached the office... we were told tat the barrier net failed the test n required to replace the entire webbing... so end up i oso stay back to help out the removal n installation of the net...

hehe dont know whether its super suay or damn heng loh... i 1st time ICT then kana replace net... the net sooo big n heavy loh... somemore alot of manpower were there to help n still we took abt 9hrs loh? from abt 7pm-4am the next morning... just 1 piece of net require 9hrs sia... sian... somemore ytd valentine's day... some of the guys even gotta cancel their dates to come back n replace the net... hahaha wat a v'day loh... but lucky me notingy to worry abt... cus me no chance to celebrate v'day 1 :P

then removal of net is ok... but the installing part was the one tat made all of us sick n tired n surprise... 1st ting was when the net was stretched out... the length wasn't long enough, so we extended it with a strap at each end... but when we 1st test to raise the net, the two stanchion came up... but the net remain flat on the ground, n tis caused the strap at both end to break... we were all stun...

then the guys came to a conclusion tat the anchoring strap was too tight which made the net not entirely straight... n tis caused the tension on the top of the net to increase when it was raised... n so the strap on both ends gave way...

ended up some guys went back to uncoil the old net n get the old extension strap on both end to use... and the 2nd try we took all the anchoring points out n leave the base of the net loose... n finally the 2nd test, the net was raised... only tat the tension wasn't enough to open up the net to the acceptable height... so we did 2 more adjustments n 2 more raises to complete the installation n confirm the net to ber serviceable....

and all these took us abt 9hrs... was damn thirsty n tired loh... arms n legs all aching... then after all the packing up we left the base n lucky got ppl to drive us out to take taxi... n lucky i took a ride with someone cus i ICT can't claim for taxi fare... n they gave me a day off 2day since i ICT n worked till 4am with them... cus i oso cant claim any OT or OFF day... at least the management still got heart hahaha :P

ohh n i found out 1 tingy amazing... while resting in the runway, laying down facing up into the dark sky... i could actually see the stars moving abt in the sky... n not only do they move in one direction... but the way they move makes them look like fireflies flying way up in the dark sky... they look kinda beautiful loh... hehehe didnt realise tat until last nite...

ytd morning went for a swim at bedok swimming complex... tink i gotta really start doing some exercises again... cus i only started swimming half a lap n was already gasping for air... long time nv go swim ever since started work... but everytingy went back to normal after a couple more laps...

after swim was abt 10.30am so decided to go tampines do some early shopping hahaha... cus wanted to find the adidas italia series shoe... tink it was one of the limited edition models cus every shop i went into i couldnt find it... only penisula n queensway shopping centre got sell... while walking around in TM i passedby the singtel shop n saw kenny working... wanted to call him but he busy so just continued my shopping hahaha... saw a blue italia, kappa T-shirt at isetan actually wanted to buy it but kept wondering if the material was too thin... cus i perspire quite alot... then end up didnt buy it... wonder if i should go down n get it 2day... cus really like the design... maybe later go there again n try try the T-shirt :P

then i went to the starhub customer service too... cus i wanna get the ultimate plan for my scv... y leh? cus parents wanna watch cantonese shows... n i oso wanna watch discovery ch n some cartoons hahaha :P although already near 25 but no law said u can't watch cartoon if u r a grown up ok hahaha... found out tat if i sign up for the plan i would get an additional digital set top box without having to pay extra for it... n i just need to take my analog box go down n exchange it during the upgrade... but still unsure cus i already paid the bill for january... so if i get the plan now will they give me rebate or sometingy? gotta call their hotline again... hahaha

if i can get the scv tingy sorted out tis morning... would go down to TM again to get the plan n maybe the T-shirt b4 i go my ICT at 2pm hehehe

after my window shopping at TM, i rushed to penisula at abt 11.40am to try get the adidas italia shoe... n finally got it after bargaining from $119 to $110 :P still slightly above $100 but i really like tat shoe n is my 1st adidas brand n it's ITALIA edition hahaha... wah but tis cny i really went overboard loh... spent like $390 on 3 jerseys n 1 pair of shoes only... is like i nv done such outrage shopping b4 in my life... cus every cny last time i would just either nv buy or just buy 1 shirt tats all... but maybe cus i start working liao n got $$ then starting to spend liaoz... but tink will happen tat often... n felt really happy cus finally got the juve jerseys tat i long wanted since sec sch hahaha :P

maybe can start calling starhub n ask abt the upgrade of my scv plan...

kept looking around for a pair of addidas shoes... with the word italia written on it... but then all the prices r $119... was hoping to find oneshop with discount but cant find... maybe must go queensway to get it if i really want it... cus weixiang went there just now n they got discount there... maybe go there take a look next week loh...

yeah 2moro doing pm shift for reservist... so can sleep late 2nite n wake up late 2moro... but then maybe i can go for a swim at bedok swimming complex b4 going to work...

Reservist~

1st day of reservist started 2day... damn CABwest change alot loh... but only at the entrance part lah... the inside still the same lol... then ams sqn oso changed quite alot... even got a big banner of pics on the wall, then somemore got the 9 rsaf core values on the pillars somemore hahaha... n they even added a table soccer n a new pool table in the crew room loh... kaoz, after i ord then they add in soo much stuffs... sian~~

but overall... finally got a chance to take a break from my work... reservist is so much better than working hahaha... cus everyday at work gotta carry a heavy bag around n face stupid machines n a few mean customers... at sqn n relax abit n maybe do some paper work or sometingy... at least not much walking around with a bag... but there's 1 drawback abt reservist... cus i gotta wake up at 6am if i dont wanna be late... cus take bus no.2 will take 30mins n no.9 will take 45mins cus of the jams as ppl going to sch n work early...

ohh n i can start my job search already... got 3 weeks to do all the searching n if possible some interviews... cus after 2weeks of reservist n cny... i took a 3day leave... so total i can relax 3weeks... hopefully by then i can find an alternative job... :P

New Life: cruel or joy?

was standing in the mrt on my way home just now... then saw a baby laying comfortably in the arms of his daddy, enjoying his tiny milk bottle... sooo cute loh... eyes so sparkling n innocent... n using his tiny little hands to hold onto the bottle... hehehe :P

i really have no idea y... but i suddenly had thought at tat instant...

why bring an innocent life into this cruel world? aren't our life cruel enough already? why let an innocent baby share the cruelty... or did we bring a new life into this world as an aid to suppress the cruelty... to bring more happiness into this world?

who's got the answer?

why the hell am i tinking abt all this?

runny nose... then cough... then bought the wrong serial cable... then headache... shoulder ache... then went home late cus went to funan to buy another serial cable... all these sums up my day... fucked up...

dont know y i started to have runny nose ytd during my last day of training at pandan crescent... then this morning my nose was feeling abit better than before... but started to cough... cus of all the 'liquid' i suck back down from my nose :P now my throat still hurts...

2day did my 1st imari machine after 9 days of training... i was so lost tat i didnt know wat to do 1st when i walked up to the machine... cus usually i just go n replace the drums n tat's it... but 2day is totally diff... gotta check where the lines on the printouts came from... but luckily i remember some parts of the machine would cus lines... lucky i found the part tat was worn out n replaced it n the problem was solved... but then i need to connect my laptop to the machine to reset the counter after replacement... i thgt to myself lucky tat i bought a serial cable before lunch, before i came to this machine... but when i pluged it in, it prompted tat the machine could not be detected on the laptop... i was so puzzled so called my colleagues for help... n luckily one of them was needby n he borrowed me his serial cable to reset the counter...

i was so mad at myself tat why did i buy a cable tat could not detect the machine... it's a 9pin serial cable but female to female, the shop tat sold me the cable told me to get a male jack to change the cable to male-female connection... but how come it didnt work? is it tat the connection cant work becus of the male jack? WHY WHY WHY?? wasted $15 on both cable n jack... so no choice, told my controller i cant do imari copier 2day cus i dont have the rite cable... n cant find ANY shop in raffles place tat sells it...

my company oso damn stupid loh... train the technicians to service the machines but nv give them the rite tools n connectors to do the job... still require them to go outside n buy themselves... n later claim back the $$... stupid rite...

so end of the day i went to funan to get a 9pin male-female serial cable... n this one only cost me $6... i wont buy any more electronic stuffs from raffles place anymore... going to claim $ of those 2 cables from my company, eventhough one cant connect to the machine...

end up i came home late... 8pm loh... when i could have reached home at 6.30pm... i'm sick ok, still go home late... somemore 2moro still want me to work... then still can say 2moro no calls for me, ask me to standby... then wat the fuck still ask me work when i go there just to wait for half a day... n waste half of my sat, when i could be resting n cleaning up for cny...

really gotta start looking for new job...
