1st week

2004-10-04T09:42:00.000+08:00

Time flies past us. Today is mom's first 7 days. It is believed that her spirit will return in some form to visit her family. Mom used to sit in her own room playing cards. Since she passed away, everytime I walk upstairs, I feel as though she is there. I'm such a coward. I don't know why I am afraid. If spirit does return on the 7th day then mom must be hurt cause I am afraid of her. Since mom

A mid-autumn's day I will never forget

2004-09-28T04:15:00.000+08:00

03:30 Mom woke up couldn't breathe. She asked dad to pat her back as she used her inhaler. After awhile, she said to dad to pat harder. Before he could, she passed out. Dad woke Shelby to take care of mom while he wake the rest of us. Somehow mom fell from bed and was lying on the floor. 04:00 I woke up heard Sylvia screaming that mom couldn't breathe. I ran into mom's room found her laying there

Trust nobody

2004-05-11T16:54:00.000+08:00

Trust nobody these days not even your best friend at work!! Seems like it's impossible to find a colleague who would be a friend you can trust. Everyone's just waiting for their chance to exploit you. Well maybe not everyone, SC and SW are/were good colleagues and friends. I feel sick coming to office knowing all my colleagues are "kiasu" people and all waiting to get the best outta you for

Kitchen

2004-03-30T14:23:00.000+08:00

I think we're getting this Ikea's kitchen cabinets. Well, not exactly like that but close.

Shopping at Ikea

2004-03-29T09:15:00.000+08:00

After so many months that the our new house, neighbors have moved and all, we have still done nothing. Last weekend, we decided to get lightings for our house. We spent 7 hours at Ikea and only managed to get 4 lights :O! Now then I realise shopping for house is so tough.

We're moving!!

2004-02-26T10:47:00.000+08:00

Well, not me but our office is moving from Kelana to Damansara ;). So much nearer to where I live now ... till I move to the new house. Go see my new office layout!

Shucka!

2004-02-21T12:41:00.000+08:00

Yesterday morning I called that old fart. He said he will start working on our new house. So last nite despite the heavy rain and shitty KL jam, we drove by the new house to check. As expected, nothing was done. I was asked to work this Saturday to do some system patch. SY went to the house in the morning to try to catch that old fart. True enough he still has the guts to turn up! I

Nothing comes cheap

2004-02-20T09:29:00.000+08:00

I've forgotten how to blog :P. The new house is undergoing renovations. Mr SOB, an elderly 60ish year old man is the contractor for our house. Respecting him for being old, we assumed he will not cheat us. People tell you never to judge a book by its cover! Why didn't I heed this advice? Paid 4k for deposit of renovation works but not a single thing was done. The intermediate lot house

Christmas present

2003-12-24T09:10:00.000+08:00

Since May 7th, 2002, dad's been waiting for a cornea donor. Monday noon, the hospital called to inform him that there's a cornea for him. He was checked in to the hospital yesterday morning for health check purpose, since he is diabetic. The cornea which was going to costs us 4k, is now free. We owe it to the kind donor who donated it. May God bless whoever he & his family may be *hugs*.

My heart goes out to you and your family...

2003-12-11T12:45:00.000+08:00

August 17, 2003, SC's mom passed away. That was less than 4 months ago. Two weeks ago, after dialysis SC's bro had a high fever and vomitted blood. Like his mom, he is diabetic and has hypertension too. When admitted to the hospital, the doctors said both his kidneys aren't functioning and it would be dangerous to perform an operation with his condition. Last Sunday, the second week at

Win a lottery

2003-12-08T14:13:00.000+08:00

I think I need to win a lottery, and if I don't I probably need to rob a bank. So many things to buy with so little $$$ ... or rather no money! I've to workout a complete list and prioritize things I can afford. There are still some fixes the developer has to do to the house. Probably go view it again this weekend. 2 weeks from the sign-off for fixes, I should be getting my Certificate of

Three!

2003-12-05T09:06:00.000+08:00

Celebrated Ashley's birthday. Still owe Mng for Ashley's present. I was late for work this morning. LDP was super jam. It's Friday again but I'm still wondering what to do, till 530pm comes.

Keys!

2003-12-02T22:58:00.000+08:00

The keys I've been waiting for.. I'll be getting keys to my new house at Taman Desa Subang this weekend. I guess I wouldn't be going to Sunway for office's Team Building :D. So excited!!

What time is it?

2003-12-01T22:51:00.000+08:00

A new girl from the same agency reported to work today. Most of us were relocated so that people from the same team are seated near each other. Our Team Leader called in sick today, he had a "slip disc". He is suppose to leave for Australia for some meeting but he's been asked to rest in bed. So WKL called for a meeting asking if someone "senior" would want to replace him. Only then did I

Day 2

2003-11-29T16:00:00.000+08:00

Caught the feeder to work today. I had no pc so I had nothing to do but to read more documentations given to me. One must master the skill to sleep with eyes wide open... at least you can avoid getting caught. In the evening we had a group meeting about NT migration for all resource servers. This is probably the first time I am at a video conference meeting. Everyone at the meeting seems

First day at work

2003-11-27T21:25:00.000+08:00

I arrived late thanks to Putra feeder bus' super-timing. Just like any first day, they make you read some documents that will put you to sleep. The guy who is from the same agency as me reported to work a week earlier, claimed he did nothing for the entire week. He seems pretty relaxed at work, chatting away on his Yahoo and clocking off at 1720 hours. I think they have flexible working

A job!

2003-11-18T16:36:00.000+08:00

Officially start work again on the 27th of Nov :)! Went to the agency to collect/sign my appointment letter today. Well, no pay increment this time. Just my old pay. I'm happy anyway.

Things 2 Do B4 U Die

Atoz

2003-10-31T22:43:00.000+08:00

Street parties didn't quite meet its objectives so PC came up with something call Appreciation Night. It's some SMS game kinda event. And our group won the Atoz for the night. Happy retirement to our PM of 22 years, who steps down today.

2003-10-26T15:18:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I wonder if I'm a retard at saying things ... Or maybe people just choose to listen to certain things you say and assume the rest? Or maybe internet sucks for chats? Seems like everytime I chat with a friend we will end up fighting over something dumb cos he or she interprets whatever I say in a different manner. Maybe I should just act cool, shut up and not talk to anyone haha!

Countdown

2003-10-16T00:35:00.000+08:00

19 more days to Nov 5th. It scares me that this day will arrive and I'm still jobless. 1 year since I got laid off. What would I tell employers for being jobless this long? Vacation? Asians don't believe in such lengthy vacation. Money is everything! Everything sucks!

LIMA

2003-09-26T19:16:00.000+08:00

I'm packed for my 8 days exhibition job. This Sunday, 40 of us will be leaving for Langkawi. We'll be put up at a lousy motel! So junky that I can't find its pic on the web. Let's hope I can get along with strangers since it's gonna b a 4 to a chalet kinda thing. Saturday's street party at Kelana, will be the 2nd WAJA draw. I missed the first one and our group won the WAJA. Those who

Hopes? ... buried in the rubble

2003-09-26T00:22:00.000+08:00

Hm, so I was overconfident about getting the job. No calls yesterday, neither was there one today. 10 months of endless applications and hoping someday a better job would come along, but hope fades as days pass away. Everyone just thinks that I'm not trying hard enough. No one cares to know. I tried so hard, but there's only one outcome assured to me - FAILURE. I'm so tired. Everything has

The end of late nights?

2003-09-24T01:47:00.000+08:00

The last few days, I've had many interviews. Yesterday, HP called for a conference call interview and this morning the agency setup a 2nd interview. I'll know the outcome of the interview tomorrow. I think I may stand a chance getting the job. It's not gonna pay as well as my previous job and it's gonna be staggered working hours. But I guess it's a start *shrugs*. The funny part at the

NO!

There i turned down another job for the month!

Indecisiveness

2003-09-17T19:44:00.000+08:00

Why am I always troubled over neverending employment problems. Just a week ago I overcome that SG job thingy and now comes another. This morning I went for an interview for a Voice Support Analyst job at KLCC. 2 days ago, C called me saying her hubby has a friend who's looking for an IT person and told me to give it a try. I sent her my CV. This evening her hubby called. He was at his

Discrimination

2003-09-14T02:46:00.000+08:00

I thought I would not get a chance to go shopping and movies with SC and SW again but looks like this isn't gonna change now. We went to KLCC today, while waiting for movie at 7pm. We were looking at the Speedo's new arrival swim wear at Studio R. This white guy and his 2 kids bought some things from Studio R and as he was walking out, the alarm started beeping. He was gonna leave but 2

It must be a joke!

2003-09-11T17:35:00.000+08:00

So I packed my bags, bought tons of new things all, ready to fly down to SG. Even gone to the extend of personally going to SG last weekend to look for a room and found it. All these efforts till Tues evening, I received my appointment letter and get a shock. All the trouble of getting a room, walking distance to office only to find out I will be stationed at client's office and the pay isnt

My last mile

2003-09-09T02:09:00.000+08:00

It's strange from being very excited about getting a job to missing home even before I leave. This is probably the first time in my entire life I actually leave home for good. It takes more courage than you can ever imagine, to leave everything you have, people you love and friends. I've been pretty emotional. I told mom not to see me off on Friday but I know she will still be there. Argh!

A JOB finally!

2003-09-04T13:07:00.000+08:00

After 10 bloody months I found a job!! I'll be starting work this 15th which means I have like 10 days. I've to move to Singapore too. So many things to worry about. The pay isnt very good but at least its with a BIG IT company. I'm worried about $$$ - rental deposits, furnishing, food, laundry, transportation. For the first time in my life, I will be moving far away from home. I have

New layout

2003-09-02T12:02:00.000+08:00

When you must go... Just like every other Sundays, I would go jogging with SC. After jogging, SC received a SMS from her sis saying her mom is admitted to the hospital asking her to bring documents to the hospital. We had breakfast and then came home to my house and then SC said she has to go home. So, she went home did some stuffs and fell asleep. When she woke, it was already 1pm. She went

More bad luck... Well, I'm not missing, I was in major national newspapers and even local news. More bad things coming my way, as though it is not bad enough. Landslide at my backyard on the 10th June, 2003. Just as soon as my parents and sisters leave for a holiday. I had a temp job briefing on 11th and couldn't join them. You can say it's lucky my parents and my sister's kids weren't home

2003-05-28T22:41:00.000+08:00

Friends My pocket's been really tight, I've started to go on a minimum food and LESS internet to save money. Which kinda helps since I've been wanting to go on a diet. I don't wanna go to the extend of having to ask my parents for help. 2 house loans, bills and more bills ... I just wish money would suddenly appear. Lots of arguments at home with my sisters, think that I'm too lazy to look

You deserve it! He called, for the 2nd time. I was like, "Hello, you fired me like 1/2 a year ago?? WTF are you still calling me for??" The first time he called was about password for broadband and I was just said I don't remember (eventhough, I do :D). I told him to go search for some box where it is written. Well, he's lucky the box was there. Today, he called and asked for some license

If I have, then where are you? Have I not prayed and have faith? If I have, then where are you? Where are you when I need you? Maybe I'm just so tired trying that, I've given up or maybe God has given up on

Uncle H couldn't get a replacement maid but he "promised" grandma that he would bring her home as soon as he gets a maid. Well, it was a BIG fat lie because he never intended to bring her home.

It's freaking wasting my time coming to school. 2 guys in the class totally couldn't be bothered paying attention.

Kompre miz I guess some things are expensive for a reason. Today's the first day of class and I can already tell why AT's tuition fees are so expensive while I is like 1.5k cheaper. My class is made up of 3 extremely ignorant Secondary school leavers, 2 Arabics one of which goes "uh-huh" throughout the whole class, 1 Indian that asks 1001 questions, a lecturer from India that has a FANTASTIC

I see dead people... I dreamt of my grandpa, my mom's stepdad. Well, it's kinda confusing my mom's adopted by this muslim couple but they let her keep her race nevertheless. So, she's still a chinese. My grandpa died a couple of years ago. Few days before he past away he was in a coma and that very last day the doctors said he wouldn't make it through the night and told my aunts to bring

Gotta focus!!! Couple of weeks ago, I said the next time we visit Natural Quartz, we swear I will NOT buy another crystal. Like after 6 months since we last took our Aura Photography, SW, SC and I went back to Natural Quartz. Our picture reading turned out to be satisfactory. The red aura is gone, the tourmaline must have subsided the red aura and brought green aura (career). The new picture

Too much mudding? Few days ago, I dreamt I was back in high school again. I was on this bus ride with my best friend Jamie. I asked if I could copy her homework because I didn't know how to do mine. While on the bus ride, I asked Jamie, "why am I on a bus ride to school?" and she says she doesn't know. It was like I was semi-conscious. Some kids here takes the school bus to school while my

I just wanna get done with this study thingy and get a job fast but this college is delaying everything!! ICS has one starting tomorrow but I don't like that college because the lecturers suxs. So, WHAT am I gonna do from now till

If only everyday is like this ... I like things the way they are now, except for the bit about $$$$. I imagine rich wives and kids, having nothing to do but shop all day and no worries about $$$$ *ENVY*. But being 1/2 like them (minus the $$$$ part) I am still pretty satisfied :D. I like staying at home, going shopping when you feel bored, sleep when you're tired, not having to wake as early

I wonder if it's real ... Looks like I've been lazy not been updating again. Well, I've gone to IR talked to the officer there but they didn't seem keen to take up the case. Mainly because the company paid the so-called "2-months compensation", which is actually just 1 month since the bonus paid to me is supposed to be contractial bonus. Anyways, I've got the cheque from the company. I don't

The end or just the beginning? Friday, R called me at the office to discuss about the letters I sent on the annual leave. He wants to know what I was up to but I told him I couldn't talk since my colleagues were there. He agreed to call when I get home. When I got home, I called E. E said to give 2 choices : (1) ask the company to let me stay, (2) let me have a termination letter if (1) fails

Play dumb Yesterday, I couriered a letter and a cheque to my HR (in Singapore) as advised by E. Well, this morning I got an email from my HR manager. In the mail she wrote : I just received your cheque today for amount RMxxxxxx. We do not understand why you are returning the above mention amount to us, as it is paid to you for your annual leave balance (6.5 days inclusive of replacement

2002-10-29T21:40:00.000+08:00

What's right? What's wrong? On Monday, I called the IR officer again after drafting my letter to request management to give me a termination letter. Afterwhich, I asked her if I could get her to read if my letter was worded correctly. Hmm she sort of confused me there. She said I should just send a resignation letter. I was like what? I took down what she said and that wasn't what she said on

Time to repay kindness This is the information I have gathered after meeting the IR (Industrial Relation) officer. For those of you, who are in th same situation as me, this may help you : 1. Never tender a resignation letter as requested by your employer. 2. Talk to an IR officer. Their office is at 8th Flr, Menara Perkeso Jalan Ampang. 3. IR officer may advise you to obtain an official

A "Horrorween" I will not forget Thursday, I received my pay cheque and was surprise to find all my annual leave converted to dollar and cents. Later in the morning, my boss called me for a short discussion. He said, the company finds that "I am not performing up to their standards and I am better off working somewhere else". He put it in such a nice way saying the company does not mind paying

Booooo Taxi Drivers I've been traveling a lot lately and I must say that I've not had much bad experience with taxis, as much as in Malaysia. I did not drive to work today. My younger sis and I took a taxi ride home. The taxi driver purposely diverted us to god-knows-where routes and we ended up paying almost 2x the normal fare. I'm not saying that all Malaysia taxi drivers are like that but

I'm going to lawn skate in an hour with my homestay parents and bros. Don't ask me what it is cause I've not seen one before :p.

Some light finally... I solved the PNB problem *haha*. This morning the development server crashed just when R told me to test something and send him the log files. I was like wtf always the wrong timing. Well, I reinstalled everything because it wouldn't boot. Anyway, I think the reinstall did good cause after I reinstalled the problem resolved itself. I learn some things from these

Once upon a time... Pat is driving. That has got to mean something. Suddenly I feel so oldz ... oh wait I am OLD! This week's been hell at work. I was in Taipei but I had to support a Malaysia project. My boss is trying to get the joint PNB & Mesiniaga tender. That project almost made me tender my resignation. R's been a jacka$$. Although it's like 1.5 years I've been with this company,

Ni Jiang Se Me? ... Ooops! Me no understand I remembered R asking, "You sure you can do this?" and I said, "Yeah sure". I regret that saying yes. Today, I sat 2 hours at a meeting not understanding 3/4 the things being discussed. My Mandarin & Hokkien sucks. 1/2 the time these Taiwanese are all speaking Mandarin + Hokkien at the meeting and I just sat and stare blankly. Once awhile, one

I Just DON'T If there're reasons to why we're alive, what is mine? I see no purpose to live yet I have no courage to die. I'm such a sucker. What does this life means? I wake up everyday to the same routines. I want to be happy like everyone or at least I pretend I am happy but I'm not. I have a job I don't like, I just do it to pay bills. I'm not smart. I don't drink nor smoke, and I try

Smile! You're on Candid Camera On Friday after work, 3 of us went to MidValley to watch So Close. While waiting for our show, we hopped into McDonalds for ice-cream and we were sitting on the stools. Then we saw this girl, professionally dressed, she was taking off her jacket and a bunch of coins fell all over the floor. She probably didn't want to look embarrassing chasing after coins. So,

In the end...it doesn't really matter I wonder if all these efforts are actually worth it. I slog through endless projects at work but what do I get in the end? NOTHING! Yesterday R told me that he attended a training for a product that we're going to use soon. And I was upset. Because all trainings they get to attend but who gets to do all the dirty work? ME! I'm sick of working like
