frontpagey...

Well, sunday was the last time since i blogged. Thk my archive is getting lonely and since i'm back home early today, i shall do something nice. Ha! Hm, why am i back so early? Coz i am on course today - microsoft frontpage. Ya, i know.. I need the basics 1st mah. Diaox. The lesson was.. Ehrm.. Okie. The lecturer was, well... Kinda weird. 1stly, he seems like he doesn't reali know his stuff tt well coz when i asked him some questions, it took him quite some time before he actually came up with the explaination or the solution. 2ndly, his pronunciation is damn weird. Hosts became Horse. Wrap became Wap. Well.. 3rdly, my 1st impression of him was that he looked like he juz landed from outer space, with his bespectacled face somewhat looking like a metorite explosion (oh no, i feel so bad..) and his eyes, i mean his glasses juz reflect so much light it seems like he doesn't have any eyes lying beneath them. But as in every other case, there are always 2 sides to the coin. To be fair, he is rather patience and willing to impart his knowledge to each and everyone. Guess being some what labelled as "nerdy" isn't reali that bad huh. Wonder how many people will view it as i do. Hm..
We had breaks, mayb too much of it. Tea break in the morning, lunch and another tea break in the afternn. Lunch was awesome, although it was juz Long Johns Silver but having lunch down at PS for 2 hrs was cool! Its been such a long time i actually went to "work" feeling so good. Thk my flu is getting betta as well. Cropping myself in the office suddenly feels v v terrible. Mayb u ppl reading this will nv understand whats the big issue of having Long Johns at PS, i dunno how to put it down in words man. But the feeling was juz great! Tmr's gonna be another day. Betta treasure it!

GrRr... have to report back to DHQ on sat for the SPANS AGM meeting, y do i always get such stupid stuff.. Hate it whenever i hafta attend such stuff coz its a SAT! i thot this week would be over on wed coz today and tmr hafta attend course. Although there are 2 SAs in Planning Office, but i'm always the one who gets such official duties. To make matters worse, i might even hafta report to work on sunday at 0430hrs to be deployed for a taskforce to help in the army half marathon. Thou we can claim hrs, i rather not. Coz if tt's the case, i dun thk i will recover from my illness thats bugging me. Morever, i would be working 7 days a week. I dun get rest, my illness will worsen.

Suppose to have lunch with my new mdm today, but coz i needed to attend the course, the lunch was postponed till nxt monday. Hm, sorry guys, i'm referin to vincent, ben, shuren and robin. Not to forget, mdm as well for delaying the opportunity to have lunch together as an office. Sorry guys!

dissss...

"Some people think that the physical things define what's within" - adapted form alicia key's "if i ain't got you"
A simple sentence as it may seems, but an entire world at its feet.. Hm, i thk tt's a sentence in the song that reali gives not only me, but i thk it should provide all you guys with some thoughts on how man have evolved into materialistic people. This phrase is reali interesting in the sense that if u reali put ur mind to the test and thk bout' how your life is gg, it makes plenty of sense. I dun deny the fact that i too, am a victim of material goods and the emotional aspect that it provides for you.
Din reali had such a fantastic time yest during the gathering and i guess its coz me and pd always get the bulk of the critcism frm the people ard for... "aiyah, y cannot like this", "y cannot like that" citing an example of the outing that pd had organised. Sometimes, it just gets on ur nerve... I mean after all the work and effort you've put to make sure everyone meets up, there will always be some spoilers who will cite this and cite that. Anywae, that was yest stuff, dun wanna dwell on it for any longer.
Hmm, i headed for issac/ming's hse for the stayover. Dom, nick, me, wilmer and belle were there, the same old topic surfaced durin the stayover, with dom and nick engaging in their NS fantasty and how they were doing, according to wilmer, it seems as though they were showing off how well and how tough their training was. It was as though a punishing NS life was something to be proud of and they were juz... ehrm, so engrossed in it. Man, i can nv understand all the army things coz whenever any guys juz speak bout how BMT, their section and platoon, i feel so handicap coz i dunno what they are toking about and it juz irks me coz they will be lamenting how lucky i am and it makes me feel so irritated. YES! I'm a blessed to be able to be in the police but i guess none of them sees the entire pic. It doesn't mean that now i'm in the force, i'm not as good as them and that i should be left aside whenever gathering arrives.
Anywae, i'll be attending jay chou's concert on the 27th Nov i thk. Lewis helped me to purchase the tix and now i'll hafta pay him back. This month's pay will be gg down the drain considering the things i've purchased already. The medicine for mom which cost $62.50, sneakers - $72.90 and now this, $128... OoOo NonOnono...

grrRrr....

gRr.. Felt like i was slapped in the face by eve juz now. First, she complained to me a couple of days ago and explained how anxiously she wanted to mit up with the rest and then when i msged her to notify her of the arrangements, she ended up saying she might not go juz coz we're watchin a movie. Its kinda irritating ya know, coz someone wans u to arrange a gathering and u get down to doing it only for ur proposal to be rejected and thrown in ur face. I mean, if its work and my submission falls short of the required standard, i will accept it and make the necessary changes, but then again, this isn't work. Hm, mayb not always. Was a little irritated with shuren today when he asked me to make changes to the manpower breakdown list of the regular officers. Coz i had such a hard time copying and pasting the names of the various officers in microsoft excel and then when i finally completed in the way he wanted, he told me that he wanted another format. So i had to make the necessary changes once more. Well, but i'm alright lar.. bRrRrr... But as with other problems, i've finally come out with a consenous decision. Everything seems to be fine for now.

Work, work and more work.. I spent the entire day facing the stupid com copying, pasting and formating the excel sheets juz to ensure that everything that had to be done was done in the best possible manner to as to ease the facilitation for future use. Quality work is also impt ya know (in case some ppl do not know that i believe in quality work). Oh ya, since we're on this topic of quality work. I thk i failed to mention that my new mdm is finally in the office, she's been here since monday. She looks kinda fierce, but i thk she still lose to me when it come so to comparin facial expressions. Ha, coz everyone says i look damn fierce and blah blah blah.. She's quite strict when it comes to the standard of the work coz she kinda warned me that if i don't live up to her expectations, she'll transfer me out. Well, whats new? Ha, juz hope that i will be able to meet her requirements.

Oh ya, robin's 'x' drive in his comp was wiped out and the worst thing that can ever happen is that all his data is inside. That means, all his designs and websites have also been wiped out. I make it sound like a epidemic. Opps. But its like all his hard work is gone and now he has to start frm scratch. Things in the office certainly isn't gg our way...

perodical~

"Compunction, deplore, germane, tenuous, impecunious, inveigle, fastidious, indolent...." These are some of the new words i had been tryin to register into the tiny brain of mine today, oh well, at least for the first half of the day. Haha. Besides tryin v v hard to increase my somewhat limited vocab, i was also drowning myself in the advance theory book. With some determination and passion for drivin, i was tryin to get used to the various regulations that has to be followed and also the various steps in driving the car, esp so for the changin of gears with a little trickery understandin how the "half-clutch" can be obtained. It sounds kinda hard to grasp the concept of the "half-clutch" in practical lessons i thk coz the way the book was written, it certainly did its job well. Haha.

Work for me, as mentioned before, reali seems to be somewhat perodical. Thats the way things are reali gg. Haha. After lunch, i helped vincent out for the displaying of the medals trophies for the new exhibition panels down at the yet to be officially open lobby. Well, after which i went up to arrange the other panels and while i was at it, i saw mr mah which incidentally was looking for me! Well well, life reali plays you huh? Haha, there he was, speaking to me in dialect which i didn't understand and yet i was too bz to revoke him and let him rumble on and on.........
Tried to catch what i could while juggling my other task and boy was it difficult. Anywae, so i kinda know i had more tasks on hand to complete. BrrrRRr. See, life has a funnie way of dealing with people. Haha.
Movin on, after i completed all the tasks that were assigned to me, i took my well-deserved break and continued drownin in the words and diagrams of the theory book.
Slacked all the way till it was time to knock off before headin to the gym to work-out my kinda tenuous (yeah! used the new word! It means weak/flimsy!) muscles. Haha. Pumped some irons which i thought were kinda light. But who cares, i need time to get my muscles warmed up and as time goes by, i'm certain they will be working like they used to. Good!
Mentally drained, i can't see properly now.... Coz my eyes are like.... gRrrRr.... Closin....
Anywae, tt's all for now, till nxt time~

Ha, stephanie sun won the best local artiste! Yeah! Haha, ya... I'm kinda crazy over her. S.H.E as well... Hm, oh ya.. Jay too. Haha..
Celebrated peide's bdae for him today, juz a simple lunch with the guitar ppl (i'm not in guitar k) down at marche, heeren. Food was expensive, guess i'm too used to the $2 chicken rice, prawn noodle or hokkien noodles at Blk 85 beside the station liao. Haha. The dessert at 85 is damn cheap as well. $1 for ice kacang?? Haha, believe it.
After lunch, we walked down to cuppage to play a game of pool and i thk there's something seriously wrong with my hands and control technique. I can miss consecutive shots; and that i mean either i miscue the shot or i miss the ball entirely. Hm, oh well, i hardly play it as well. Nvm then. Haha.
In the morning, i went down to Ubi to register for my advance theory for driving. It will be held on the 30th Sept at Queenstown. Ehrm, 2 probs - i dunno where the place is, 2nd: i dun even have the advance theory book. Haha, tt's so interesting. I thk i'll hafta borrow it from someone, mayb johnny or jian heng. Mit up wif waisoon when i registered for the advance theory, its been ages since i saw him but i must say nothing bout' him has changed much. Glad to know that he's still doing fine in TP.
Nothing interesting happened today lar, its juz another typical day in my life, it juz seems that nothing positive will happen leh. My path is still movin nicely. I hope something happens soon leh...

Angels Brought Me Here - Guy Sebastian

::ANGELS BROUGHT ME HERE::
- Guy Sebastian

It's been a long and winding journey
But I'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces and walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling when I look into your eyes



My dreams came true when I found you; I found you, my miracle




If you could see what I see
That you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel the tenderness i feel
You would know it would be clear, that angels brought me here




Standing here before you
Feels like I've been born again
Every breath is your love
Every heartbeat speaks your name



My dreams came true right here in front of you my miracle




If you could see what I see
You're the answer to my prayer
And if you could feel the tenderness i feel
You would know it would be clear, that angels brought me here




Brought me here, to be with you
I'll be forever grateful, oohh forever thankful




My dreams came true when I found you my miracle
If you could see what I see
You're the answer to my prayers, oh...
And if u could feel the tenderness i feel
You would know it would be clear that angels brought me here




You know i love you baby
And if you could feel the tenderness i feel
You would know it would be clear, that angels brought me here

yak yak

I think i'm hooked onto alica key's "If i ain't got you", guy sebastian's "Angels brought me here" and clay aiken's "Solitare". I've been listening to it for the past few days in the office, its juz so nice, to meaningful. Right, mayb the last part wasn't reali counted, i'm not so drama lar. Today work was a bore! I stared at the computer screen for the entire day. I mean literally. There wasn't any work assigned to me and therefore, i gave new meaning to the word - stoning. Haha. I had my hair cut! Yeah! It feels so much more comfortable now. Short, managable and trendy. Haha, i hope it is man. Thou people have differing views... GrrRrrRr.....

Looking forward to the weekend now, gotta mit up with waisoon to go register for the final theory test for driving and also to apply for my PDL so i can start my practical lessons soon. I still haven't engaged any instructors as yet but i'm sure everything will fall nicely in place once i get my PDL. So exciting to be able to drive thou many others have already gotten their license by now. If only i was born in the earlier part of the year then i would have gotten my license while i'm still schooling. Besides meeting up with waisoon, i will also be catching up with JC frens. Life is looking up for me now. The dark clouds are dispearsing now and the sun is crawling up thou its a little slow. Tan Tat Ting, if u cld please rem to pass HI the file! That would definitely make my week!

Pump some iron, i gotta work those muscles tmr. At this rate i'm consuming my meals, it will be pretty soon that i'll be gaining extra mass. So i gotta sweat it out tmr with victor and shuren to ensure that i will be able to get $400 for my napfa if i achieve gold and gold will be the standard that i'll set. $400 here i come!
Hope there's work to be done tmr, if not i'll be staring at the comp once more and mind you, it takes alot of skill to attain my level k. I've mastered the skill to even slp in front of the comp. Haha, one of the highest anyone can ever achieve...

mayb things aren't so bad after all...

Yest dinner was pretty good i muz admit. Guess i was wrong bout' havin to feel bad bout' turnin up coz things were actually good. All of us, yes and tt includes my mdm actually enjoyed ourselves at least tt's wat i felt. Hm, thou dinner at sofra restaurant was okie, service was kinda slow and a little hiccup in the orders but the ambience was well, not too bad. After dinner, mdm treated us to a drink or two at far east square ( Not far east plaza ar ) and thou i dun reali drink(and no, we drank sangrille or however u spell tt - its a mix of red wine with fruits i thk), i hafta admit i'm kinda lousy at this kinda social activity, i dun mean holding my liquor k, but i still decided to go along with them. It was kinda weird seeing ur supervisors on a sat nite sitting ard and enjoying themselves with you. Hm... Guess my perception of some of them have changed. I thk not some, but almost all of them. Haha... Me, vincent, shuren and hasul actually had plans to catch a mid-night movie - Harold and Kumar goes to white castle. However, there were onli limited theatres showing it and the latest time slot was at 11.30pm and we were at cine at 11.25pm. To our horror, cine doesn't have the show! So we ended up walking down to Plaza Sing to see there were any other good movies to catch. Gosh! Plaza Sing was like a dead town which is kinda unusual on a sat nite. Wonder wat happened to the crowd. Anywae, there still weren't any good shows and there we walked back to cine where hasrul parked his car. But coz our dear mr vincent declared himself as hungry, so 4 big guys had to consume satays on the walk back to get hasrul's car. Yes, u guessed it right. It was at the open air "hawker" that the govt gave the nod to relive the good old days of the 1950s-1970s i thk.

Tmr's the start of another week. Work has to be completed. Fate has to be met out. Everyday's kinda long ya know. Working for 9 hrs... Its killing mi but honestly, most of our production line stops at 5.30pm and u can hardly find ppl working later than 6pm. Most people now disappear right on time. Interesting. I juz hope work will be able to keep me occupied......

Ops! Ops! Ops!

Ops! Ops! Ops! I love ops! Haha, btw ops is not a person k. It stands for operations. Today had to attend a last minute ops due to some incident happening. Sorry, i'm unable to say anything else other than this. Haha. Ops was way cool! Too bad it ended quite early and there wasn't much resistance, if not it'll be quite interesting to see how we'll react to certain situations. Kudos to this experience - seen alot and learnt alot from this. Hope i'll be able to get more ops under my belt nxt time. I wan more exposure to the outside world! Haha..

Tmr's the farewell dinner for my mdm but seriously speaking, i dun reali feel like gg. I still feel pretty bad bout' seeing her. Anywae, i'll still turn up for the dinner unless something happens to me, e.g. fever or anything serious tt requires me to attend to it. Nonetheless, i hope it will be a pretty nice dinner.

Soccer after work, or rather ops today. Cool! It was nice to be engaged in one of my fav sports again. Been quite a long while i kicked the ball, thk the last time was during TRACOM days. Haha. Too bad Amir is clearing his leave before his ORD, 2 weeks to be exact. Man, i wished i had time to know him betta, he's the NSI from MPO. One of the nicer malays ard and this i cannot discredit him.

Minutes? I mean the minutes of the meeting that i attended recently. Hm, thk i'm reali running into problems drafting out the minutes coz i reali haf no idea as to who's who and who exactly said wat. Die! Hm, i dunno bout' this but i thk my supervisors expect alot from me in terms of work standard. I hope i can live up to their expectations. Seriously hope so. I'm only into page 3 of 12 of my short notes that i made during the meeting which means this minutes will be supa dupar long. Haha..
