Simple things seem so hard

Just want some very simple things...the ppl ard me seem to all hav it...but they seem so hard to come by for me...

haha maybe the problem wif mankind is dat they r too greedy....unlimited wants, limited resources.sounds familar? Chapter 1 of Economics...

the good thing is deep down my heart i know i am contented and thankful...

Tough 2 weeks

I can forsee a tough 2 weeks ahead...lots of work at the company...lots of work for the school...clearing up my stuff....exams...last 2 weeks of my around the world marathon of 2005...feeling abit tired...maybe fatigue always sets in at the end of the marathon and the person with the strongest mind will win it...shall hang in there, do wat i shld do and finish what i set out to achieve...

currently blasting my music in my single room and singing along wif the music...haha i miss ktv...

Lately Murphy's law is creeping near me again...and I dun like dat feeling...crossing my fingers abt everything...and for once can wat i plan go according to plan pls...

End of week 19

Super fierce few days at work...had to try and change so much things in my program that I was juz stoning in front of my computer at some points..and my code juz seem to be swimming in circles on the computer screen...haiz...sometimes I wonder what are their expectations of interns..if we were dat good and could do up such wonderful stuff...we wont be called interns in the first place..wats more...we only have 12 more working days to go...if they really wan to develop the things we are doing..they shld really get a perm staff to do it instead..

The bus driver irritated me again this morning...wat's new..that's so common on my blog nowadays..that toopig driver stopped 100 metres away from where I was standing..and fine i walked towards the bus...it was like only 1 degree in the morning..and I did not realy feel like running first thing in the morning...the moment i got on the bus the driver started ranting at me...saying that i was slow and y nv run etc etc etc...i could not b bothered to even answer him...haiz...he stopped the bus so far away and now he blames me for being slow..wth...

all i know is that i only have to take this bus 12 more times...haha sounds fast...12 working days in my company left...I even wrote "12 days left in coke" on the white board in my office...haha shall start the countdown timer...

dec shall b the start of the home run!!

Heater?

15th November is already here..but the heater does not seem to be warming my house well...the heater is maintained at 16 degrees throughout the city...yeap..16 degrees...dat is not a typo error...it is goin to be a cold cold winter...

The day is getting shorter by the day...by 530pm...it already looks like 8pm...the nite seems juz to get longer and longer...next few weeks is goin b quite sian...IA report due, lots and lots of changes to my program, my 思考题 are due and beida exams are here...still dun really noe how they are goin to test us for some modules...juz lookin forward to dec...

haha my earphones went down yest...but my colleague gave me a pair today cos we got so much gifts from one of our customers...guess that's the advantage when you are in the IT department..haha all the electronic stuff goes to us...hee...but the earphone does not look like it is goin to last..i juz need it to last another 3.5 weeks...hee

gave more and more clues abt wat is goin to happen this Friday...haha giving some1 something to look forward to but guess gave up the surprise in the process...but at least the "thing " is still unknown..juz know that it is edible..haha..and it will definitely be sweet...

hope the person likes the thing on Friday...=)

Take a walk with me...

4 weeks to go!! this really sounds much much much much better than the 22 weeks I was facing 4 mths ago...though still quite some time to go but my morale rises wif each passing day...looking forward to end of exams for ntu, den end of exams for me..den I am done for my GIP...and I will start the next chapter of my life...the chapter of 2005 has been made of happy, sad and definitely memorable moments..

the weekend has ended well with not one but a few v nice talks wif ms zhuo...haha shall use the same format...dun call me copy cat ah...every relationship be it frenship, kinship or lovers will have its problems and hiccups always...take a look around you...relatives quarrel, husband and wife quarrel etc...the impt thing is not to let these problems blind u such that you forget all the good times you had wif this person..and then solve the problem together...

pretty impressed with the accuracy i had wif some things..haha shall not sae wat those things are here..guess muz be the signal v strong..haha...the long long long talk was really v nice..and it has certainly been enlightening for me too...and it is nice to be able to talk abt all these issues and gain each other's understanding..

hold my hand and take a walk wif me further down this road....

Life is short..forget the bad and remember the good times

Deleted the last post cos I dun like to remember bad things...

Haven been in the best of moods these few days...but well..life is short..y keep thinking of bad things..might as well spend the time and effort to remember the good times and how to plan for more good times..

There are ups and downs in life...that is the beauty of it...

1 more mth to home...next mth today I will be lying on my comfortable bed and able to meet up with my loved ones and friends..

looking forward to 11th december...

Preparation for the crazy party 

Crazy celebrations

Just when I thought it would be a peaceful 23rd for me..my apartment mates came up with a crazy celebration for me...Thanks to my roomie chaoliang, kelvin, shaun, chan boon, eugene and pang yong...In short cream was flying everywhere, esp on my face...kelvin and pang yong got a fair share and the rest were spared...everything was video taped down courtesy of kelvin and if got chance will post the clips and pics..some abit bian tai though..hahaha

Got 2 surprises for my birthday...the first 1 is from xiling...got a very nice card from her via my roomie and then the second 1 is from my parents..they ordered a cake for me via my roomie..haha special thanks to my roomie for being the delivery man for all my loved ones...

Have been receiving well wishes thru msn, e-cards and sms the whole day...thanks to all for the well wishes..it is really a nice feeling to receive such nice greetings from you ppl...xie xie!

4 and a half weeks to go...like many of you who mentioned in the sms...looking forward to see all of you soon back home!!

Thank you all for making my 23rd memorable...old liao..haha...

To sit or to lie down?

If sitting down makes you shiver in 5min and lying down makes you get an backache within the same time, would you choose to sit or lie down? This is the "interesting" problem I am facing now..if you have a solution..pls drop me a msg...haha...

Beijing bus drivers seem to enjoy flying my aeroplane...waited for the bus today for nearly 45 min but they either din stop or it was too full to board..in the end froze at the bus stop until kelvin and chaoliang came out and shared cab wif them to Coke...totally numb when I reached coke..

Today got another impromptu presentation call...juz got out of the toilet and my supervisor pulled me into the conference room...really hate this kind of thing...i was juz like a tape recorder, repeating what i said last week...already got a very bad sore throat and still had to raise my voice to speak up...dunnoe wat is happening to my body lately...falling sick easily and feeling v nua...

my report is getting so long that I am struggling to see the scroll bar by the side...hope I can finish it soon..den it will be si kao ti and exams..by then all of you shld be enjoying ur hols..

already trying my best to keep my spirits up but something always has to happen to dampen it..

5 weeks to go and I guess it is goin to be a long cold 35 days...

Boring day

Just as the title suggests, today is a boring day..wanted to do some work but it is really too cold.. sitting on my chair for a few minutes and I start shivering...haiz...if this goes on the next 5 weeks are goin to be torturous...wan to sit on my chair but too cold, wan to lie on my bed but too uncomfortable...this is really mental torture..

Dreaming of a bowl of hot fishball noodles now...guess I will have to make do with my cup noodles for dinner...

The special delivery service

hee muz blog this again...cos hor...later some ppl sae is the thing is not I sae 1..

I LOVE the special delivery service this whole week..really like it..thank u...hope it will always be there..

this post is juz for u dear...

Looking forward to the sun

The sunny sunshine seems to elude me nowadays..

I wake up everyday welcomed by gloomy skies and then start "smoking" at the bus stop...haha dont be mistaken...i did not pick up smoking...the temp is so low that every breath emits mist out of my mouth...

When I knock off...the skies are already dark and total darkness falls by 6pm...den the coldness sets in again..miss the sunshine in Singapore...

Nowadays I have a phobia of bathing...juz simple too cold to bath...the floor of the toilet feels juz like walking bare footed on an ice skating rink...try that and you know how I feel..

Had literature lessons today...1 of the poems described the feelings of being away from home for v long..and the feeling of returning home after that...

wondering how I will feel on 11th dec...

*stoning..*

End of week 17

Another work week has ended...not a bad week on the whole other than the presentation and the usual boring work...wat's new.haha

Hee my choc bar got thru! though not in a v good condition but still acceptable..glad i made some1 happy...chocs make ppl happy..haha

20 more days of working days to go..my report is due in erm..2 weeks plus?? and I haven gotten to the main body...lolz...need to work harder liao..

Last but definitely not least...I like the new delivery service v much...thanks to the person's creativity...sometimes juz 1 sms can brighten my day up...

Good luck to all your papers once again ppl...

Think before you speak

Just had a meeting/presentation for my project and I totally hate it...

firstly, only 30 min notice was given to me for the presentation..true..there were talks of a presentation b4 hand..but dun they even have the courtesy to arrange it maybe the day b4? ok i was like watever..anywae i already prepared for my presentation beforehand.

Den some ppl said things that were really annoying...Some1 asked me whether I knew how to do a particular thing and I said I dun noe becos it was in Chinese but I did something similar in English...after that the person said isen't it the same? den gave me a "how come u so stupid" look..fine i am stupid..but i really dunnoe how to do it..and i gave an honest answer..wat do u expect..this is not the first time this person used his wits to exert his authority on me..sometimes even commenting that I am stupid or idiot..i already ignored this kind of event many times but this time i was really irritated..

Just wan to say pls do not use your wits or intelligence to look down on people..ppl may not be as good as you but at least they deserve some respect...I dun know whether this is the way ppl communicate in this country but i certainly dun like it...i know the person did not mean it and he is actually a nice person but it juz did not feel good.

I just dun like the way the presentation went but I dun noe how to explain it...watever haha...quoting my fren's comment"wat you pay is wat you get"...it may sound materialistic..but it is certainly true to a certain extent...severely underpaid workers do not have the motivation to come up with brilliant pieces of work...

Impressed by Fedex

Delivered at 945am..took less than 48 hrs to deliver..really impressive..

too bad the person has to wait till evening to see the parcel..hee..wondering how many items got thru...

Update at 914am

Currently my naughty act seems successful...crossing my fingers now...although only 2/3 of the objectives will be successful..it is better than nothing..haha confused? stay tuned...
