All I Want is a Camera

.
Been gathering digital camera’s info for the past weeks, wanted to have a new personal camera and throw my 2.0 megapixel and kill someone perhaps. There are few models came into my consideration, Panasonic LX3, Canon G10, Panasonic TZ5 and Nikon P5100.

Anyhow, G10 is the best in my affordable range but too bulky. P5100 not so good comments, TZ5 abit outdated. So what I left is LX3.

Die Die Must Buy Some

.
I thought I’m a Duracell rabbit, can never say die, but the rabbit died once.

My mom and brother were in sg for the weekend, and me being the gooooood son, I gave up my lovely bed to them. So I spent 2 nights on one inch cushion placed on cold hard tiles. Definitely didn’t sleep well at all and so tired throughout the weekend.

At first I thought I can finally get maximum rest on Monday night after my night class, but it ended up sitting next to the computer. Stupid air asia is selling free tickets on 12.00am onwards again, and SM is not going to miss this chance to get some tickets. Die die must buy tonite. The night wasn’t smooth too, air asia was incapable to cater and the booking system was clogged up like you flushed down an elephant in your toilet. The booking system went frosted still ok, to add salt to the wound, the merchant for ticket payments was facing technical difficulties. Damn it! We initially were trying to get 6 tickets for a trip of 6, but we only managed to buy 4. At the end we gave up and head to bed in the middle of the night.

Tuesday was another full day of work and night class again.

Why la, why your marketing dept can think of such idiotic ideas like selling discounted tickets in midnight or odd hours? I mean if really want to, at least the booking system is should to cater for all users, and not letting us suffer by staring at the monitor for hours. Saw a news that came out on the following 2 days about the complaints about the inefficient of air asia ticketing system.

Anyhow, I’ve planned two trips for year 2009. Had a quiet year 2008, and I’m ready to fly more this year.

Will be revisiting Bangkok again during this labour day.

And another year end trip, either Beijing, Taipei or Seoul.

Tired v1.0235

.
Had a wild ride on contractor’s Subaru Impreza WRX this morning. We were rushing from site to another site. Now I know how much fun you can have when you drive a performance car. The torque and grip is simply different from normal cars even C200 kompressor. The seat holds you tightly and stays low. He even did a 90 degree handbrake turn at 80km/h into a small housing access road.

When can I get myself a vw golf gti? Damn it. Have to work harder, 85k is not an unreachable target.

On another side note, I have this ongoing project. The architect, structural, and electrical engineer are all ladies. I love my boss.

Gimme More Time Please……

.
Ever since I have started work and study in a same time, I feel so drained out and no mood to do anything else when I return home. The worst day is Tuesday night class, the second straight night of classes in a week.

I shall remove this picture if I’m the lucky one.

There is a special toto draw during the cny, my colleagues went to grab a hope during lunch break and I betted $1. Just to try my luck. $10 million!

I’ve been assigned to participate in a security project, and I need to declare my background to the government. Digging back old history like where I have been staying for the past freaking ten years and all my exam results. The hardest part is to get two people who know me more than 2 years in sg and has to be prepared for interview with the home affairs. Dunno who could help me on this, hopefully I din put them into trouble.
.

CNY is over, for me at least!

.
Okay.

Chinese New Year is over for me. Started work today, chor 3. How sad is that.

All I had for cny was sore throat then ultra sore throat and also tsunami style sore throat.

Almost finish one whole box of Difflam lozenges which costs me RM20 for 16 sweets and still pain like hell.

Got my first paycheck in sg dollar first time, but still most of them contributed to my tuition fees. So sad.

Started to plan something out for year 2009, since there are so many public holidays on Monday and Friday. For example, the Christmas and new year are Fridays and four days of leave can generate 10 days to travel.

Relax, Holiday Mood la Boss

.
One more day left.

I’m going back, to a place I called home, a place where you are very familiar even though you haven’t stepped in for a long time.

I missed KL.

The food is sometimes bad, but you are spoiled with choices of Chinese food or probably I’m used to have it the KL way for 20 years.

This new year I wanna eat/drink:
Pork mee
Prawn mee
Roti telur bawang
Daging special cheese burger
The KL way of lou sang
The KL way of drinking beer
Wantan mee
Cheesy wedges
Nasi lemak with rendang daging
Sateyyyy
Redbull less sugar
Nescafe ice
Bak kut teh
Melawati kebab

Damn it, I’ve got only 3 days in KL, how the hell can I achieve it?

Adik Perempuan System

.
Isn’t it great to hear that the AP system might be extended to 2020?

Those sissy AP holders are so-called not ready, to stand on their own feet. Still need spoon feeding from the people, and the parents are about to accept it.

Hopeless la.

So what are you waiting for?

Vampires are already sucking your blood for generations and you still not going to fight back?

Haw Par Villa is Almost Gone

.
Paid a visit to the Haw Par Villa today. My last visit was like at least 10 years ago, when everything still well maintained. It’s kind of sad to see the park now in run down state, algae filled ponds and deteriorating statues.

All the rides were gone, the theaters were closed down forever and the crowds were no longer there.

Hopefully someone can revamp the one and only Chinese mythological theme park in Singapore and bring the long lost fame and proud back.

Work + Study = Crap

.
Work has started on Tuesday, but now only I could have some oomph to update here. Work til 6 and rush to uni for 6.45pm class is very hectic. Too rush, not enough time, too crowded. When you reach home, you will head to bed right after shower, no time to figure out whether I have time for other activities or not.

My first job was a small company which has only 10 staffs at most, and then 50 staffs for the second one and now 110, just my division alone. Corporate life is not fun at all, I always missed the life in my first job. My temporary lappie is like 7 years old, it has 2.0GHz 256mb ram running on win xp pro. It takes its own sweet time to boot up and launch whatever programmes. To add salt to the wound, my user account is still a mistake, guest account. I can’t even access to my team’s data. Basically I’m still not even on track with the rest of the team, perhaps things get better next week.

When you study, you want to work. When you work, you want to study. Conclusion, I have an itchy ass.

Cina Punya Tahun Baru la

.
We celebrated Christmas and New Year not long ago, and we now switch our attention to the most important times in Chinese calendar, Chinese New Year.

It’s less than a month to CNY. I bet most of us already planned their trip back to hometown for the precious reunion dinner on the 30th Night of the 12th Month in Chinese calendar.

For me, I have new job and another semester coming in January, and my class resumes on the third day of the New Year. So I would have to leave the town on Chor 2, 8am to be exact. Blame myself for procrastinating so much til the golden tickets are all sold out. I’m heading to KL on the 23rd of January, departing at 11pm. Another sleepless night again I guess.

Hopefully I can meet more long lost friends and lou sang until lao sai this time.

Ang pau here I come!!!
