對．錯．

在錯的時間遇上錯的人，是一種荒唐．
在錯的時間遇上對的人，是一種無奈．
在對的時間遇上錯的人，是一種傷心．
在對的時間遇上對的人，是一種幸福．

===========================
第一次聽到這些詞，是因為９３３音樂日記．
覺得說的很妙，而且很真實．所以很喜歡．

前些日子有人和我說，如果不「這樣」或許她就不會認識他．
那也就不會有這樣的結果．她也不需要這樣痛苦．
或許她是在對的時間遇上了一個錯的人吧，注定是要傷心的．

可是傷心的日子總會過去，迎面而來的是一個嶄新的未來，
一個有歡樂的未來．
有人說，要懂得真正的傷心，才能體驗真正的快樂．
我相信妳一定會快樂起來，而且比以前更快樂．

Superband

I got a shock just now when i saw Mi Lu Bing is out of superband... was sick yesterday that i forgot to watch superband and decide to give the result a miss so i can rest... then just i went to the website to check the result and is super shock to see that they are out.... o.m.g....

heard from a colleague that their performance yesterday wasn't that good... well... i dunno i din't watch so no comments... and from the way their blog is written it looks like there will be a revival round again.. (second time for superband)... seriously speaking i tot both JuzB and them should make it to the finals.. but now that both are out i'm not sure who i want it back to the competition....

will i call to support them? well watch the show and support them yes... call to let MC make my money? of course no... anyway the result of the competition is seriously not important.. what is most important is they are given the chance and if they are really good i'm sure someone will sign them up to release an album (look at JY you will noe)... then i will show them true support by buying their album.... but if they are back into the competition then its good... cos in this way i will be able to see more of their performance...

whatever... just let one of them back in to the competition is all that i ask for....

Complains... are you guilty of it?

This is a topic which i wanted to post last week but couldn't find the time... so now I'm blogging about it.. but still i'm trying to recall what exactly did i want to write about.... so this post may be a bit here and there...

Read about a piece of blog from a friend's blog who is complaining about colleague... And that was what struck me to write about this post... Complaining is something which i think we are all guilty of it... not to say about others, I myself am guilty of complains... if you read the pieces in my blogs, most of them are about complains... complains about my boss, my bro, my family, my colleagues, singaporeans, strangers and including myself....

sometimes i really wonder when we complain are we guilty of what we are complaining? Do we cause the "injustice" to happen?? For example this friend is complaining about his colleague not helping him... but then did he gave the colleague a chance to do it?? and when the colleague gave suggestion did he just shoot it down without any words of encouragement?? I'm not saying that the fault is all on my friend but sometimes when something happens, both parties are to be blamed....

My boss is another person who does things in such a way... he will ask us to give suggestion... then we will not hear any news about it... until the thing is done and we realise our suggestion is not adopted... well it could be because of resource constraint etc that our suggestions is not adopted, but i think he should have told us about it and let us understand the situation... we can't read his mind... so over time, we get use to it and stop giving anymore suggestions... so who is to be blamed? nobody exactly... if there is fault its the fault of both..

so having say that why do i still complain... for me complaining is just a form of relieving my fustration, etc... sometimes when i say i'm piss with my boss I'm just piss... not really or exactly angry... and not really "piss" kind of piss... just fustrated with how things are getting... and not exactly with him as a person or boss but rather the situation I'm in and the environment etc.... or the chinese saying 對事不對人....

at the end of the day its okie to complain.. but after complaining we have to learn from it or put the thing down and not carry the "unjust" with us... otherwise our back will start to ache....

Again??

Its less then a week and I'm sick again!!!
Down with sore throat and flu...
Still i crawl to work... cannot afford any more MC...
plus got so much work to do... :'(
Maybe like Jes says...
i need to get myself crystal to ward off the bad feng shui at my office....

Update for the week

Have been really busy this whole week with work.. although my deadline has been officially pushed to next month, I still find myself extremely busy at work... probably because other projects suddenly have changes coming in.. so I got to work things out... and this make me tired... and by the time i reach home i have no interest to surf the web or do blogging...

anyway some updates of my life (not as if you guys will be interested in my boring life but just to write down for myself what happen in the week)...

Sunday went Hong Xing with my family and relatives... i was surprise so many pple came... we took up 2 tables... the uncle and aunties 1 table and the cousins another... its quite a fun breakfast.. cos my funny cousin is there.. keep on entertaining us.... but dunno whether is it because there were alot of pple that day (father's day) thats why the food doesn't really taste that good.... i din't really eat much.. but i enjoy the fun and ambience though.... and i will be going again this sunday.. this time my Aunt treat... ermmm.... hope my gastric can take it man....

Finish watching X-Man 1 on monday night.. got the DVD from videoezy on Monday.. and i surprise myself by watching it on Monday night.. Also finish watching X-Man 2 on wednesday when I was down on MC... really like the show.. not only because of the storyline and the abilities of them but also some of the things being mention... like the problem with most humans is that anything they don't understand they treat it as weird, hostile and not acceptable... sometimes we just have to broaden our minds to accept the nature of things...

Went to sign up for my pilates course on tuesday night.. at the sametime sign up for the passion card at the CC since its only $10 for 3 years... and directly i save $5 from my pilates course.. so in the end its only $5 for the card... and something "funny" happen while applying for the card.. i went to the counter to ask the lady how much is the passion card.. cos there is different pricing for different CC... then she ask me "For yourself or for your kids".. i'm like duhz... do i look like i have a kid old enough to take part in your CC programs??? anyway subsequently another lady took over our registration.. she is quite nice.. but so poor thing for her.. one person has to handle the whole front desk... and there was a few people there waiting to pay for the courses... anyway with the passion card I can book the badminton court at a discounted rate... so mafians when you all want to play badminton again??

on wednesday i was down with gastric.. which i'm still trying to recover from... hope it recover soon... otherwise eating has become such a chore.... and i can't eat my black pepper crab!!! :(

thursday was OT day... and the gastric still don't feel right.. initially wanted to go home after work.. in fact wanted to go home early because at one point it just don't feel right... but still i pull through.. and after a hot cup of cereal the awkwardness in the gastric subside... actually i dunno what is wrong with it.. just feel indigestion.... oh and in the morning i went to my client's place to check out their PC.. but there was a power trip and i was told to come back in 1/2 hour.. so i went to walk around in PS... and within 10 minutes i bought myself a jacket.. gosh... i'm still into my shopaholic freak.... its cheap and rather nice... and in green color.. i don't have such a color jacket... so i bought it.. and guess what? i brought it home at night place it at the laundry for mum to wash it (i always wash my new clothes before wearing).. then she make a comment on how come i bought clothes again... then my kaypoh sis went to take a look and realise its a jacket... and she "ke tok" it... cos she say she need it for her riding lessons next tuesday but she doesn't have time to go buy as she will be away to tioman this weekend... :@ :@ :@ i haven't even wear it lor... :(

today will be another busy day... but i'm in a super friday mood... but still have i have to bring my lappy home this weekend to do some work.. sianz.... :(

MC Again

I was down with MC again yesterday... keeping up to my one MC per month record since the start of this year... jia lat... dunno what is wrong with me.... keep falling sick... this time its gastric.... i was sleeping blissfully until yesterday early morning i got waken because of the gastric pain....

anyway i have a few ideas to blog but i have no time... so much work to do.. hopefully i can remember and blog them over the weekend...

Pissed Off (Again)

Yup... i pissed with my boss AGAIN... actually its not really his fault but i think he didn't choose his words correctly when he was saying it...

he called me this morning to pass me some instructions to help him check out something... so I went to call but couldn't find much information cos the resellers i called are all going out for meeting.... so my colleague who was involve in the project came in and was also looking for the information so I leave him to look for it while I rush off for an appointment with another customer...

while at my customer's place... I called my boss to enquire about something.. he didn't pick up the phone.. but he called back later and ask how come I'm not in the office.. i told him I'm out at the clients place and blah blah blah... so he ask me how was the information finding.. i told him that my colleague is looking at it... then he make the comment that he ask me to find is because he want my colleague to finish his things and don't want to waste time on that....

i'm like duhz.. so he think i'm very free lah.... i have to rush down to customers place.. and there is this super tight deadline project which he throws to me and i'm force to swallow it alone... and he still think i'm very free to make these phone calls for him...

actually i understand that there might not be anyone else to do the job.. but i think he should have carefully word his reply and not make it sounds like i'm very free... bloody hell..... :@ :@ :@

Disagreement with a Colleague

Had a disagreement with a colleague... he insists that I add in checks for "fields exists" to those upgrades that I did so that it is compactable with the old version... normally that is fine... but the silly thing is in whatever way the database will be upgraded to the lastest design even if the the feature is not available for the client.... so i find it silly to have so many if..else check on something that will last less then 1 week... cos i think that will cause the program to run slower and slower as more and more upgrades are put into the system....

But he still insists because there are chances that the database doesn't get upgraded at the sametime as the software, so that might cause some error.... In some sense, I do agree and I do see his point... but i think we should come out with some solution now that upgrading just started... rather then just seat on the problem and let it grow..... and it doesn't help by shooting down other pple suggestion in an irritating way.... think it would be better if you build on the idea or suggest something else... well this is not only for him.. i think i was a little pissed too... gotta watch out my attitude.... *sighz*

抽記憶機

很多很多事情塞滿了我的腦袋．
想要把些東西寫下來，可是卻不能在這公開．
想要提筆寫在日記裡，可是一到家就很懶，只想好好的睡覺．
好累，好累．

腦袋空不去，心情更無法沉澱．
只會變的更累吧？
可是要如何把腦袋空去？
寫了出來只能舒發一種心情，
卻不能把腦袋空去吧？

有沒有一台像抽脂肪的機器一樣的，
把不好的，難搞的記憶統統抽走呢？

I hate staying with my bro

My parents are away for a week holiday to china... That leave me and my bro at home for the whole week... and I have to do all the chores at home... including boiling drinking water, washing the clothes, feeding the fish and watering the plants... if i have the time to mop the floor too...

well it seems like its not alot.... but washing clothes at my home is not an easy tasks... first you have to hand scrub the clothes and soak them is soap water... then u put it into the washing machine to wash... and that is not the end of it... the water that comes out of the washing machine has to be collected into pails for recycling to flush down toilet bowls or mopping of floor....

And the thing is i have a bro who will make my life even more difficult by making a mess out of the whole place.. yesterday when i reach home there were dishes in the kitchen not wash from his cooking of instant mee... and the living room is also in a mess with his shoes strewn all over the area and the table not clean after his meals... there were also cups and bottles too... while he is happily seated at the front watching his world cup.... :@ :@ :@

I was extremely tired for the day... and i still have to help him clean up the mess he created and on top of that to wash and hang the clothes.... i'm feeling extremely tired now... and worst I think I have to do OT for day... in fact the whole week i probably have to do OT... i'm not sure i have the energy and concentration level to do that..... i just so tired.......

Pissed Off

Super pissed off now... spoil my saturday morning mood...

Boss SMS to tell me that there is a problem with the server.. went in to check and wanted to restart the MySql services but I can't access into the server cos I can't remember what was the port for SSH... and i couldn't get my colleague on the phone... so i sms my boss back to tell him i can't do anything at the moment since I can't find my colleague.... so he ask me to call my friend's house.. i dig through my records, found my friend's house number and called her at home...

and while i'm inside i restarted the mysql service... but halfway through i lost connection to the server.. so i called the data center to "hard" restart my server... then shortly the server came back up.. i was very puzzled... cos it can't be from the data center.. they don't restart my server so fast... so i try to access the websites and everything seems back to normal.. but i still din't call the data center to stop the restart since there is a weird case of it dropping and coming back on.. then at this point in time, my boss called to tell my another colleague has restarted the server.. then i sort of gave my boss a scolding cos i was very pissed... i told him why din't he tell me.. he should at least have the courtesy to drop me an sms to tell me that my colleague is working on it so i don't have to do double job....

imagine the server is up fine le and i continue with the "hard" restart which is damaging to the system stablity.... :@ :@ :@ ... super pissed off.....

None of my business

I hate politcal games!!!!

I need higher EQ

I lost my temper at my Dad yesterday... and worst infront of the relatives....

Was at a cousin's wedding yesterday night. Initially I didn't want to attend the wedding.. cos I'm very stress at work and I wanted more time to do OT... but mum insists I go.. so I went... the dinner didn't start until 9pm... imagine my hunger and the tot that the dinner will end real late...

and so I was sitted at the table with my dad, my bro, my uncle and another uncle and his family. mum got pulled to sit with my auntie... so the whole night my dad and tat uncle is making a lot of din at the table... imagine i have to sit through 2.5 hours of noise and with all the stress i'm having... i was suffering from a headache after the dinner..

and worst my uncle got drunk... and dad got a bit high (maybe that explain why they were so noisy)... then this uncle starts to complain about the old grandfather story... well its all the money and inheritance issue.. and old bad blood between the uncles... so my dad help him out to let him smoke and stop him from drinking...

initially i wanted to take my bro bike home... but my father insist i take a cab back with them... so after the dinner i went out to look for my dad and tell him to leave.. but he can't leave my drunk uncle there sprouting nonsense... so he ask me to wait... so i waited for a good 15 minutes.. but i was really tired already... and with all the rubbish going on i'm even more fustrated.. so after the 15 minutes i walk up to my dad and mouth to him that i'm going off on my own already... i have enough of the nonsense... of course my dad ask me to wait.. then i told him in quite a harsh tone that i'm very tired and i have to work tomorrow and i don't want to wait any more... then dad ask me to ask bro to send me home.. i told him its impossible.. my bro is already halfway home... he wouldn't make a u-turn all the way back for me... and its him who insisted i take the cab back.... seeing i'm getting really impatient my dad finally get some action going... and we left he place at about 11:20pm....

seriously i'm not angry with my dad.. cos i understand why he can't leave my uncle alone there.. but i tot he could do more to hurry him home... as for my uncle... i don't have much liking for him in the first place... a bit too petty for a man.. especially a man of his age.... but then he is still my uncle so i still have to give him some respect... generally i'm just piss off with the situation... i hope i can handle such situation better the next time... I need higher EQ....

Are Customers Always like that?

I have a client who always like to "jump into conclusion".
By that I mean, when they have a problem it will be the system bug.
They never think that it is actually a problem between the keyboard and chair.

Anyway a similar thing happen just now.
My client was quite angry at why such a thing happen.
She "asked" me to go down and check out the PC that the PC has a problem.
I tried to cut her in and ask her to do some check over the PC.
Lucky for me, I'm able to remotely see the PC from my office.
And guess what? Its a user problem.
So I told her about it, then she start to calm down and realise the mistake.

Lucky I can prove to her right at that point of time that it is a mistake of theirs
else i have to swallow this dead cat again....

*back to working like crazy*

Am I sick again???

Am I sick again??

I'm feeling goggy..... heavy head...
had a back stomach in the morning,
but is feeling better now...

Can i last through the day?
I need to do OT tonight... can i make it???

無奈

人生有時真的很無奈．
有些你想管的東西，你管不了．
有些你不想管的東西，你卻硬是被逼著管．

想管的，不想管的，我能不能統統都不管．
讓一切順其自然？

說的容易啊~~~

Japanese Steamboat

Went for a steamboat with BL, SP and HIM on Saturday at IMM Hoshi. I find the food quite good and the price is cheap, after tax and everything its 18.6 (15% discount for UOB CC card). More importantly it taste better then the Coca I had last monday.

There wasn't much variety for the ingredients. But what was provided is the basic norm and taste good. I like the pork... its slice into very thin slice like beef, and this make cooking of the meat very easy. The Fu Zhou fishball is quite nice too... and of course the shitake mushroom. And best of all the chilli was really really good. And they serve quite a big plate of watermelon after that. Oh I forgot about the soup, its quite nice... The waitress says its make of mushroom, but we tot we tasted fish inside... but I think there is a fair bit of MSG, cos we were very thristy after the steamboat... Oh and they serve Udon (have to cook urself) and japanese pearl rice for the man who needed more "filling" stuffs....

Our first round of pots... we total had 3 rounds... and lots and lots of pork... :)


The sauce they provide. There is the peanut sauce which is a bit too salty.. but the chilli sauce is really good... its a bit sweet, sour and spicy...


The view out from our table. Too bad there is some construction work going below. Otherwise, I think the view is quite good.

Pop Village

I'm very tempted to attend... its only $25.. and there is At17, Tank, Chet Lam and Tanya Chua.... Most tempting will be At17... haven't heard them live before.. should I? but i'm a bit broke..

Java

Finally!!! After 1.5 days I got that stupid thing displaying...
If it is in PHP I would have got it done in 15 minutes not 1.5 Days!!!
This is not good.. hope I can pick all the Java things faster....
Else... I dare not think....
