On job search...
A's got a lobang for me. Same pay, but easier job. One problem, its at chai chee hahaha.. Mostly admin stuff lo heh heh.. Not too bad lo. Jus that its too far.. And I will be leaving the IT line... Many pple are toking to me about going into banking. It seems like everybody is going into it to escape being in IT i mean really cannot stay in IT too long unless u're very interested and keen. But I dun really wan to totally waste my degree and stuff. I still have a few options, like going into teaching, and doing customer service,events planning or doing some HR stuff... Still some time for me to finally decide. Of course if possible, I wouldn't want to waste the time, but I guess it takes time to find something you will really like to do. I'm a person that is quite hard to please. Cause I get tired easily. And not to mention I get bored. THe thing I like about teaching is the diverse things that one can do when teaching. U don't jus teach, but you also plan for activities in school, interact with the students, CCA stuff. And there is still IT to consider..
I think I am discouraged by IT because everything that I know have been used up. And the things that boss wants me to do I cant seem to do it so well anymore... And that's why I cant make it for IT. And since the place I am in is already not IT intensive enough, I dun think I can realy make it in the real IT kinda world. I will definately have a very hard time. Oh well, I'm now still in the middle of deciding wat's my next step.. guess I will take my time, spend a few more months thinking seriously about it, mebbe wait till the things are going underway or when I find something better b4 I decide to go heh heh.. Not in a hurry yet. Still need the money to fund my expenses eh..
Back on the happy tree friends streak hahaha.. Its so morbid can.. But den its just amazing how they can come up with all these things haha..
Wah Steffan jus came to my house to help me with something that is due soon.. So touched.... He was so tired but he still come over to get things to help me do. Den he have to walk home on his own... So poor thing.. Thanks so much!

Bored with work
LOOK FOR NEW JOB is the new slogan for me. Feeling really sian at work nowadays. Find that the things I have been doing are getting more or less similar, and I am now a jack of all trades, but master of none. And realised that i nv really learn anything new liao.. THink I need a new place. And gettign really bored with the way the place works. Its a bit too confined lo. All time office kinda thing.
Having some choices in my mind, but I'm not sure wat it is that I really want to do yet. And even if I will be staying in the IT line. Its getting really boring. Even if I learn more stuff on IT, they dun seem to interest me. I kinda miss interacting with pple. And having the luxury of NOT worrying about my work after I leave the workplace.
But must say that I really need the salary to pay my bills lo. So before I really get something, I dun think I should be doing anything rash. Shall not hint to boss too. But I did mention it to a few pple la. Like Geek and Chris and Angela. But Angela herself is leaving liao so nothing much. After 10 yrs there and she can be so fed up and decide to leave. As for Chris, well she understands la. The place is too small for me. There isnt even a place for career advancment lo. As for Geek, I dun even care wat he thinks. But when I say he really super enthu la. Like keep asking me wat else I wan do and stuff like that. Can wait for me to leave hahaha.. Also good la. I cant wait also.
I think its enough la. I spend one yr and den go off.. Enough reason for me to give during my next interview. Although most prob alot of pple will thinki I'm job hopping but i think i wan try a new environment la. It can be frustrating when there is nobody to guide u when u're so lost.
Boss coming back liao! And there are stuff that are nit done yet la. I was quite worried a few days ago. But now I think I just cant be bothered. Especially when I have like half a mind wanting to leave liao. Been looking at the websites to look for new jobs. Anybody got stuff to recommend? Haha.. No MLM and insurance stuff please. I can stand at a cosmetic counter or in a LV shop and do sales, but not THAT type of sales la. I just not interested in it. Sigh... Work sux! Especially with my boss ard!

Saw an interesting shop at the pasar malam though. It's a stall that sells tibetian accessories. It even have the pictures of the owners at tibet. Alot of exotic necklaces and stuff. Some of the things are going at 4 for $10 only. Sounda rather unbelievable eh. Would have bought some if I knew how to match them and stuff..
Ah having a headache coming up liao...
Saturday, January 14, 2006
Done minimal work today, even though I had other things to do. But the things I do also not within my control one leh. Like chasing pple to fax me their signed copy and stuff. I managed to get 2 of them to respond la. Like finally.. But I think I still have like 2-3 more pple. Who jus refuse to co-operate. I really dun noe what to do when the trainng comes sia. They may jus simply dun wan to turn up lo. Inconsiderate pple. Just becos I small fry.
Having thoughts about changing jobs again. Cos yesterday HR just sent out an email asking for feedback on the dress-code in the club. They having super weird suggestions and if they wan me to bun my hair, den yeah time to move on... I din spend so much money to rebond my hair so I can bun it at work ya know. Some of the HR staff have started to bun up their hair liao. I think they have been psychoed into doing it, and hope to influence the other pple. Its failing terribly though.
Name for the survey is optional though. Think alot of pple will write alot of comments but dun give name. And one clause I cannot fathom is the following:
"8. No colored contact lens or tinted spectacles with colorful frames allowed"
so weird rite?! Means suppose to wear the glasses like army one ah.. cannot b ba... Well, they did say this is jus a survey. I hope there are many sane pple out there and not so much boot-lickers.
Gonna knock off liao yippee!!

Thursday, January 12, 2006
Hee its the last few minutes before its one yr and one day heh heh..
Had a really BIG surprise today la.. Another one of Steffan's "brilliant" ideas. TOday was really special la heh heh.. Went to another place that it will be really long before I get to go again.
And its over at EQUINOX!!!! Learn about it here! Basically, there are alot of things in the equinox but we went to the restaurant for the western cuisine heheee.. Got the really close window seats heeheee..
Had a rack of lamb and tenderloin. Really nice leh. Although the serving wasnt very big, it was very rich. Even though it was medium, it did not have the lambie smell. It was jus rite! Steffan had the beef sirloin and braised cheek. That was the name in the menu. So we were wondering which cheek it was hahaha.. And when we tasted ot, it tasted like those braised beef in the food court. Just the sauce is alot better haha.. We had some australian scallop thingy for appetizer. That was not too bad. It had a very thai/vietnamnese style. Esp with the green mangoes, sweet chili and curry leaves as garnish. We also have a air-dried duck breast salad. That was also not too bad. In fact everything is VERY nice lo. Dun noe is the price or wat hahaha.. But i really like the main course. And given its taste and the price, its quite reasonable lo.
Desert was Chocolate Fantasy for 2! And it was like a mini chocolate buffet! Hahaha.. So many cakes and stuff made of chocolates!! But we got quite sick of it after sometime haha.. It was really a fine dinner.. And a great view too. As it was raining before we went to have dinner, the clouds started to form outside the window. And the whole place seems like its Genting leh!! Hahaha.. and we saw the transition of the CBD area from daytime to night time. Really nice. I have it in my hp shall see if I cna upload it here heh heh..
Steffan changed his phone again. Now its a motorola V3! Its really sleek, but of cos the functions are not as good as my one la hahahaha.. But the style's very dare! Haha.. He like can liao la.
Excited abt the big feast tml! But also worried la. Cos my flu is still there hope it wont spread to other pple. Also, all his relatives will be there lo.. so yeah.. Hope I dun off-form leh.. Later so paiseh. Den minus points..
Tml's another work day. Feeling a bit saturated leh.. And things at work havent been going well.. Haizz.. how come like that.. Feeling quite disappointed. ALso know everything cant go my way, but I was hoping it will get better ma.. I jus dun have to keep chasing pple and not meet so much things even in my own work. To make things worse, gotta be unwell. Jus hope I can get well by Chinese New Year leh. 27th is dept outing heh heh.. So by den if I'm ok den can liao. Jus dun wan spread my germs to others. Think Steffan is getting it a bit liao. He sneezed a few times jus now liao. Haha.. bad weather easy for everyone to fall sick.
Better for me slp soon.
2 more mins to 1yr and 1 day! Heeheee
Wednesday, January 11, 2006

Well, tml is the day Steffan and I have been together for 1 yr!! Wah time really flies leh.. It feels like yesterday we jus met...
And for him, he got a crumpler bag for the one yr, while I got a pair of earrings heehee.. So now the crumpler bag is his everyday bag he brings to sch. While the earrings, I'm still saving for the chinese new year so I will wear it den hee hee..
All ready for new yr now. Have new bag for work, new clothes, new pants, oh yeah... missing out on new shoes though.. Hmm wondering wat I should get.. Hmm...
Oh and I got a surprise yesterday!! Steffan bought me the SHE CD!! Really liked the song after hearing them sing on the Sunday's charity show. The strange thing is, they actually sound alot better LIVE!! I thought its usually the other way round.
Steffan and I are trying to be artistic haha. We wan catch something at Esplanade, so we know wat its like in there. THinking of watching one of the shows from de Huayi Festival. THe one I'm eyeing is a suspense story. But of cos its in chinese la. And mebbe Steffan and I can watch it on our 13th month anniversary heh heh..

Boss is in reservist now! Heh heh.. I wonder if we will go back at 530 everytime. And means that there shouldn't b additional work on my side at least. Argh.. Did some "spring-cleaning" on my face too heh heh.. wanted to go for manicure since I ended early.. but was feeling to tired. Mebbe when it gets nearer New year den go do.

You are 71% Rational, 28% Extroverted, 57% Brutal, and 28% Arrogant.
You are the Spiteful Loner, the personality type that is most likely to go on a shooting rampage. You are a rational person and tend to hold emotions in very low-esteem; not only that, but you are also rather introverted, meaning you probably bury any emotions you feel deep inside yourself. Combine these traits with your hatred of others and your brutality, and it seems that you would be quite likely to shoot innocent people in a rampage. Not only that, but you are also a very humble person--not a braggart at all--meaning you could possibly have low-self esteem. This is only yet one more incentive to go on a shooting rampage, because you wouldn't care if you died as a result. Granted, you probably haven't gone on a shooting rampage and probably never will, but all the motivations are there. In conclusion, your personality is defective because you are too introverted, brutal, insecure, and rather unemotional. No wonder no one hangs around you, you morbid, cold-hearted freak!
To put it less negatively:
1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive.
2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted.
3. You are more BRUTAL than gentle.
4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant.
Compatibility:
Your exact opposite is the Televangelist.
Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Capitalist Pig, the Smartass, and the Sociopath.
If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.
The other personality types:
The Emo Kid: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Starving Artist: Intuitive, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Bitch-Slap: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Brute: Intuitive, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hippie: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Televangelist: Intuitive, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Schoolyard Bully: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Class Clown: Intuitive, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Robot: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Haughty Intellectual: Rational, Introverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Spiteful Loner: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Sociopath: Rational, Introverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
The Hand-Raiser: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Humble.
The Braggart: Rational, Extroverted, Gentle, Arrogant.
The Capitalist Pig: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Humble.
The Smartass: Rational, Extroverted, Brutal, Arrogant.
If you like good humor, be sure to take my girlfriend's Mullet Test, because it is much more awesome than this test.
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 79% on Rationality
You scored higher than 22% on Extroversion
You scored higher than 68% on Brutality
You scored higher than 19% on Arrogance

Anyway, I've been up for 18 hrs now.
Woke up for my morning duty on a Saturday I was not scheduled to work! Anyhow, boss agreed let me off on Chinese New Year Eve! Heh heh... But den he only say say only leh. Scared he forget but i write in the calender liao. Heehee... Boss going reservist liao!! Chris and I are feeling really lost. Cos without him, all the trouble that Geek get into nobody will solve liao... Den nobody can answer also. Think Margaret cannot make it. She not the type of boss Gary is... Haizz..
And den during boss's reservist, there will be 3 days Margaret will not be ard. So under the table, Siew Yin is in charge. But if there are meetings and things like that, I gotta attend. Y me?! Y cannot ask Chris to go?! She more senior den me leh. Jus hope NOTHING happens. But anything still got Siew Yin to cover. And she more respected by the other staff also. THink they will look for her most of the time anyway.
Anyhow, morning duty this morning was ok la. Nothing much. Had dinner with Steffan's mum den came home.
Started reading the book of Fight Club which Steffan borrowed from the library a few days ago. And finally finished reading it today. THInk its really not bad ans Steffan and I are talking fight club haha..

Welcoming a brand new year!
Heehee... Watched the wars of the worlds DVD in the afternoon, then went to meet Steffan's mum for dinner. My treat ma.. Cos once in a while once la. Den came to my house to wait for my dad to bring us go watch fireworks. We were rather lucky that when the fireworks started, we were on the Sheares Bridge sia. Or we would have missed the diplay liao. But I think those pple behind us must have been very disappointed. Cos they can only hear the sound and cannot see the display heehee..
And Steffan was in the car with us! hee.. My brother went with his frens to watch the fireworks though. So ok la. Not too bad. Wanted to go to the Singapore River to see the lights display thingy one. But den the TP were there and they redirected the traffic to go other place. SO cannot see. Mebbe other day den see.
Got a few greetings from a few pple. But den hor, strangely all these pple I dun have their number one leh Hahah.. in other words I dun even noe who they are lo. Den also paiseh to ask. But mebbe la haha.. I will have to find out who those pple are ha.. And how come I din bother to keep their number. But when we were on the Sheares Bridge, the network was actually jammed and cannot send out the smses. Cant even make phone calls.
Wah finally new year come liao. But not much special feeling cos I still like Chinese new year the best! Jus that there are alot of nice shows on channel 5 today.
Oh went to watch Chronicles of Narnia and it IS now one of my favourite shows! The effect is really good sia. And I really really love it man. Its really like fantasy come true... Next on my show list will be Wallace and Gromit heh hehe.. I want to see the Madagascar Peguins trailer also haha.. Must be really good.. ANd next willl have to be Memoirs of a Geisha! That's gotta be like really the next hit. But I think by watching the trailer I like the scenery enough liao.
I start off my new yr with very little time spent in the office leh. On the 3rd I got a training to go to, so wont be in office. After which it is likely that I will have another training on the 5th and 6th. But quite dumb, I got a morning duty on a Saturday that I dun work. But ok la. THinking of negotiating for me to work that week and mebbe get the CNY eve saturday off ha. But den I think its tough la. Will seem so unfair to others or something. We'll see how things goes ba..
Hee.. Hope I can start off my new year on the right foot! Once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
