Blog Abit Lah

As much as i dun wish to ignore my blog... I had to bloody hell quickly watch finish Naruto to return SHuzhen... Tmr she hand me e rest of e Naruto series... *faintz*

But blog abit lah... I everyday come in my blog see no update so ke lian...

Oh, a post note, i said Stealth is abit hao siao, hao siao not as in e mandarin hao3 siao4, its e holkien version... Haha, i didnt realised until some asked me about it... Paiseh arh, i didnt think much about it... Its not a funny show... Nono...

I hope they dun sack me though... At least my design skills can right? Do so many things liao... Heh...

The Island & Stealth

Ive watched them...

The Island is good, but its very disturbing... SO much death just becoz of e 2 main characters... Too many innocent deaths... Its e best cloning movie thus far... But e story is very disburbing, its in e grey area where there's no clear distinction btween right and wrong... I felt extremely stressed and disturbed after watching... Coz there is no clear moral values towards killing... U kill if u think its right, and u dun need to feel anything... Dun like... But tts me only lah...

But e show gripped me thru out... My heart was still pounding, most of the time, i couldnt catch my breathe...

After tt show, ive realised how crappy War Of The World was...

Recently, ive watched a series of unsatifactory movies, but after tis, my expectations became higher...

So i was anticipating Stealth, coz e trailer totally gripped me...

I watched Stealth yesterday, paid e crazy $9.50 for it... I find SHuzhen very sweet, coz i told her i prefer to come out on fri... We watched The Island on sun, and next day i got to work so i was tired and all, and i couldnt really sleep well after a disturbing show...

Though she never said anything, but tis wk, she asked me out on fri... Further more, she even paid $9.50 for e show, which she used to complain alot about... Heh... Appreciate it...

Watching Stealth was abit tiring as well, coz of my increased workload n stress lately...

My Boss may buy one software for me, the whole adobe design suite... Feel abit guilty leh, like i make e company pay alot of money lidat...

Anyways, Stealth is nt bad... Abit hao siao and some parts not consistent, but nvm lah, very thrilling... E male lead's eyes is so crytal blue...

Go watch go watch, not bad... But try not to pay 9.50 la, very ex...

Updates - Naruto

Yah, i noe ive not been blogging tis week, which is something i always try to prevent.

Anyways, i haf decided to type shorthand again... Hack watever!

I noe after i start full time job i'll be too tired to blog. But tt wasnt really e reason for tis week. E reason is tat i am trying to watch as many episodes of Naruto as possible...

But then, my sleep is more impt, i do not wish to sacrifice my work efficiency for some silly shows... I even cut down some TV shows which i used to watch faithfully...

Thus, i could at most watch about 6 episodes every night...

Y i haf to rush myself? Coz e Naruto is kindly lent to me by Shuzhen. And they werent hers, she borrowed fr her uni fren... And i dun even noe whether tt fren noes im watching or not... So like tat how? 100+ epi fr a stranger... Paiseh leh, cannot take my own sweet time right? So i am decent enuff to make sure i return her as soon as possible to return him...

But wats frustratin is, Naruto is damn slow paced leh... Its e slowest paced anime ive watched ever... Damn boring leh, one match can drag so many episodes... And e scenes repeat and repeat and repeat... And e characters talked so slow somemore...

Biangz, i come back so tired liao, and e show so slow...

Yah, i noe, complain so much might as well dun watch right?

Its not tt i dun like, its jus tt its freakingly slow... And further more, so many ppl crazy over e show, so i KPO wan to see y... But many asked me dun watch also, they said its lousy... Actually, now i understand both side...

E show has a gd soundtrack, and its more like catered towards westernised ppl, due to e silly jap el songs and e effort to edit e jap characters to el characters in e anime... But then, their drawing is so lousy... Duno y, its e flatest 2d characters ive seen in recent anime in recent yrs... Dun tell me 2d is supposed to be flat, if u watch enuff u'll noe wat i mean...

Anyways, all these aside, to me story is more impt... E Naruto story line is not bad, going in e moralful direction, jus tt too slow lah, and repeat so many times i can memorise liao...

E 1st part i started toenjoy e show is e 1st difficult mission they had... E match wif Haku and e Izuba or Zuzuba or something...

Sibei sad leh... I cried while eating my hot maggie mee...

Now im stuck at their stupid Chuunin Exam which takes like 20 over episodes to get over it... And there were 3 episodes which even repeated e whole thing with a few added scenes... Are they mad or wat?

Im now watching their prelim matches for entry to e 3rd exam... I smsed Shuzhen, "Bloody hell, u mean they r going to show all e 10 matches arh?"... And she said yah, which i replied, "Wa lao, 1 match already drag so long, 10 match duno drag till how many episodes..."

She agreed tt its very slow, which is y she enjoyed reading e comics more... She also said the anime is exactly like her fav slam dunk... She can match all e characters somemore... So cute... Like i used to say Qi Ling Wang is exactly like Initial D, and i can fit all those characters as well, only diff is one is car racing, one is chess... QI Ling Wang got one ghost ard, and Hakumi fr Initial D is known as e ghost of Akina... His opponents said hes a ghost... Haha... Not forgetting Inuyasha to Ranma 1/2...

Im scheduling my work to do tmr... SO perhaps i'll try to finish more Naruto later...

Also, ive finally bought my LAST INUYASHA BOX!!!! After waiting for so long... But very sad leh, watch finish then no more liao... Sigh... I bought one INUYASHA LIGHTER tt day, but no time to play wif it yet...

Shuzhen burned alot of shows for me to watch... Cannot finish liao... Btw, i seemed to haf misplaced one disc she burnt, she burnt for me Hunchback of Notre Dame, but i duno put where leh... Jialat...

I hate to owe ppl things... Like ive got no time to read SHuzhen's 2 bks, of which is e last bk of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code... Maybe watch movie lah, but she dun wan to watch leh... Will try to finish... And also 2 books fr Jul, which she flied me aeroplane last wk when i wan to return her, after rushing my dinner, she said she wan to sleep... U ARH!!!

I Have A Nice Boss

Wah, u noe wat, i jus made my Boss upgrade my PC's ram to 1 GB just like tt...

I have been doing alot of photoshop these few days... Thus, my com (256 M ram) cant take it, so i said my com is going to crash yest... And jus like tt, she asked e Software Engineer to put one more 256 into my com immediately...

Even so somehow, due to alot of applications and server running in my com, its still not enuff...

Think its coz of e slower processing speed as well, only 1.8 Ghz...

So e colleague who drive me home said, shd ask my Boss to get 1G ram for me...


So today, i completed a marketing material, and it turned out rather well, they gave me very positive feedbacks... I was so proud... Haha...

Then my Boss came over to my com and ask me how, i didnt say much, then suddenly my colleague told her tt i need to upgrade my com's ram to 1G...

And she said ok, and asked e software engineer to find out e pricings and got it for me within the next 1 hr...

Heh, now my com is e fastest... Even faster than their laptops... So happy... I can even on MSN web now, i couldnt before, coz e memory's not enuff... But i tried jus now be4 i left and magically it can work...

My Boss then turned back to me, and asked wat else i need...

SO nice...

I really have a nice Boss, not demanding, no pressure, very willing to teach me herself, even e bo liao stuffs... Even when i made mistakes and apologised, she said, "No lah, maybe my instructions werent clear enuff."...

Heh...

All Bosses shd be like her...

A Reply Fr NKF Staff

I received tis comment to my entry on Last On NKF.

(Sorry Anonymous tt i quoted u, but some things jus need to be said...)


iam the staff of the NKF...iam juat speaking own my own opinion...


iam been workin very hard for the NKF for the past 17 years ro raised fund for the kidney patient..its sad to say we all are abused badly by the public..especially me...iam been abused whereever i go...even my good friends make fun of me...

I myself dont really know the salary of my top executive...but my salary is just enough for me to support my three kids...i have to work part-time to earn extra salary..i dont get 10 month bonus..

even my kids get abused by my neighour...sad to know that...

I have a lot of kidney patient friends whom i do really care.


Now people, this is e repurcussion tt u get...

Many times, we say tt we answer to our own actions. So watever we do or say, we say tt it is our right to do so... I haf a right to bitch about someone i hate (though i honestly dun really noe e person), i haf a right to scold others (though i haven gotten e real truth of e whole picture, but fr wat i gathered fr media)...

But how many of u actually think about e CONSEQUENCES? E after results?

U can easily backstab a person, especially in a office... But haf u ever wondered how e person feel when he/she found out... How frustrating it can be, how depressing it can be, jus becoz of some words u said...

Yah, i noe, some will say if u never do it, y get affected. If u r affected, it meant tt somewat its true...

All i can say is, its all UTTER BULLSHIT!!!

If u get affected, it jus simply prove tt u r still human... Humans r born wif these humane emotions... If u do not feel anything, its either u r one of them, who does tis to others coz its too normal to u, or tt u haf given up being a person wif humanity n integrity tt u feel numb to ur surrounding, tt u no longer fight for anything anymore and let all e nasty ppl get their way ard...

If u haf seen all the blogs in e bloggersphere wif regards to e NKF saga... U will realised how much anger, disgust tt ppl haf towards NKF, and especially e CEO...

However, none had spoken up for their staff, and shall i REPEAT again, e INNOCENT PARTIES... Everyone jus ranted on their own one sided views wif wat gathered fr the publications...

Which was wat made me wrote my entry on Last on NKF.

Now my reply to e comment.


Dear Anonymous,

I am very appreciative that u took the trouble to go thru my entry and commented.

No doubt I am also appalled to e NKF issue like many others... But i am not stupid enough to feel tt e whole company is in cahoots altogether...

I am working also, and i truly understand tt especially in large coorporations, u will never know wat ur executives are doing nor to even haf e slightest ability to interfere wif their decisions...

However, there will always be nasty ppl around... This is something we cant help.

I am someone who is an easy victim of misunderstandings. Alot of ppl misjudged me on issues tt i absolutely have no idea about. Its all groundless assumptions...

Therefore, i understand ur concerns, ur struggle throughout this whole situation, especially when it had been blown up nationally.

Its hard to make others understand ur plight. And its even harder for them to understand the pressure ur family has been put to.

We cant make the majority change their perceptions. But just so u know, i believe, along with me, there's bound to be ppl who understand the whole situation and do not base their opinions and actions on clueless assumptions, like they know better.

I respect that you take on a job, with only a survivable salary to support an entire family, bacause u have a bigger heart to endure the toughest, unlike many others.

I am still positive on the scene. I feel that the grievances will be redressed as long as u continue to stay true to yourself.

Keep the good work there. Im sure the patients held much more gratitude and appreciation to u silently than what my mere words can say.

Regards,
Celestine

How Can He/She Do This?

Somebody hacked into Xiaxue's email and deleted all her 3000+ emails, which some contains private, confidential, important business contacts...

Not only tat, he/she even hacked into her blog site, and deleted all her templates, and all her archives of 3 yrs...

E hacker then deleted her blog account, changed all her passwords.

The poor girl broke down at 4am last night when she found out.

I feel sad for her, very sad... Perhaps maybe its tt we r fr the same age, or maybe its tt we r both fr polys, tt i empathise wif her... Or maybe, its jus simply tt we r both humans...

I cant imagine how i would feel if it happened to me... Even though my site is only half a yr old...

As though being robbed away ur painstaken efforts were not enuff, ppl had to insult her like they know her any better... And its bloody disgusting tt ppl judge her as a person thru her words, and even bother to throw her e worst words u can ever imagine, asking her to die, calling her a cunt, etc...

Sigh... Humans, how low can u go?

Some supported e hacker, cheered e hacker on, thanked e hacker, some even wanted to give e hacker a hug...

HELLO????

Hacking is a crime, my dear, how can u cheered on?

So if a super evil and disgusting person got mudered, we shd all kiss e murderer for getting rid of a asshole?

So if i hate u, means i can hack into ur bank account, seize all ur money, and then get away scott free coz u deserve it?

If its so, let me noe... I'll enrol into a hacking course right away, coz i hate e whole world... E more i hate, e richer i get...

Further more, shes not even anywhere near there...


I am just appalled... Super disgusted... Sigh...

Worst part is, she's not e only one, another female blogger got hacked into too...

BLOODY HELL, im sure u'll go to jail...

Bus To Work!

Sob... I may need to take a bus to work... My colleague said he might not make it on time coz now he got to send his wife to work, so he'll meet me near my workplace to drive me to our company...

But tmr, he'll try out 1st... If he can come back for me on time, then he'll drive me there fr my BLK...

So means, if it doesnt work, i'll haf to take tt bloody half an hr one bus, BUS 138!!! And i haf to wake up 1/2 hr earlier...

But then, wat more can i ask for right? At least, he'll still drive me home...

*cross fingers*

Tis 2 days, i haf things to do, so im happier... Doing their website now... Received a website task today tt will keep me occupied for a long time when i haf nothing to do... Though it seemed like an endless pit for tt, but wats gd is tt, when i haf nothin to do, i can do tt... Heh...

But my kind colleague ask me do slowly, dun get too stressed up...

And Shuzhen, me take e calls for whole day today le... Yeah! (E rest dun ask me about tis, embarrassed... My little secret btween us both... )

2nd Day @ Work

I knew yesterday was strange, and im glad to see my counters back to normal... Haha...

Anyways, today at work is slightly better... Can tell my manager slowly giving me more tasks, more responsibilities... She like to give me a last min task one leh... Duno y...

But today is somewat weird, ppl who were supposed unfriendly became slightly friendlier, ppl who were supposed friendly became hostile... But then, at times like this, i give ppl benefit of the doubt... Maybe its jus fatigue... Aiyah, watever lah... Shouldnt bother...

I have things to do today... But my work only lasted till 4+pm, then i had nothing to do again... But an hr plus of nothing is better compared to yest. But tats also becoz, i spent e whole morning sorting the cabinets... Well, now tt its done, i duno wat else is there for me to do tmr...

E daily sorts r not enuff to keep me occupied, not enuff to make me not think nonsense, not enuff to make e quietness n loneliness go away...

One colleague asked me today, "Wat u think of e environment? Quiet right?"

I replied, "Yalor, very quiet, extremely quiet..."

I fear nothing to do... I cant stand stillness... Scary..

1st Day At Work...

Gosh, wat happened to the counters? I had a shock when i came online.

Is it becoz of e death topic? I duno... I jus find it all so strange. Heh...


Yup, im working now. Not in my design/animation industry and not in sales. I took on a new industry... I went into e business industry... Even so, i am something like 20% designer? I duno, coz they haven briefed me with clear instructions on the marketing side yet...

My 1st day at work today is extremely boring. Though not as miserable as my 2 poly attachments...

Its jus so boring when you've got nothing to do, and u just haf to stare at ur computer and place ur numbed butt on the chair for hours... I felt so bored so i kept drinking fr my water bottle, coz theres simply nothing much for me to do, even when i kept bugging for work... But i guess thats always the case for 1st days...

And its rather lonely to eat on my table. But i'll haf to respect their working culture... Im used to be alone, so i guess i will get used to it...

On a gd note, ive got a colleague to fetch me to and fro work, guess that compensates alot... Heh... Oh, ive got not bad a starting pay for someone with no relevant experience... And now, i dun haf to pay for transportation...

And its super near my place... Only less than 12 mins journey...

Im the only one in the company with no vehicles, haha... But my colleague said nvm lah, got ppl drive me gd enuff liao lor...

2 mths of probation for me, after which my pay will be reviewed... Unlike my old creative industry, i now haf medical benefits, accident coverage, annual leaves and bonus... Nice nice... And best of all, i dun haf to work crazy long hrs, with no overtime pay anymore... Well, perhaps some overtime occassionally but at least not so frequent... And its not crazy hrs...

But all provided i stay lah, provided i pull thru the probation lah...

Im quite tired n shag now, perhaps i'll blog more after i becum more stable in my work? I wan to tok about the interviews i had last week... And also maybe more details about my job?

We'll see how it goes...

Im not sure how long i'll be able to stay in tis company. But i hope for gd certainly... Take one step at a time bah, dont think too far yet... I dun wish to prejudge now... I will review it again after 1 mth...

Its always gd to try out something new, at least for me, i learn different things on different platforms...

So let me keep the energy level there... For now... While i still can...

Till Death Do Us Part...

This is a story about an old couple, Mr and Mrs Tan.

Through their years of living together, they are very loving and reliable to each other. Even when their hair turned to silver glass, their love grows...

In the middle of one unfortunate night, Mrs Tan got up to the kitchen's bathroom, in the darkness of a familiar home. However, this time, it seemed different. She slipped and broke her hip bone. She let out a loud cry of agony...

She was sent to the hospital immediately, and had to be admitted.

Life still have to carry on for the rest of the family members. Sons, daughters, in laws, will still have to work, and the grand children will still need to go to school.

Can't bear Mrs Tan to face the pain and loneliness herself, Mr Tan goes to the hospital to accompany her as much as he could. He goes there back and forth 3 times a day, daily.

One morning, Mr Tan and his son went to the supermarket to get some groceries. While at the cashier paying, standing before his son, Mr Tan felt his mind going blank.

He saw flashes of darkness, and his head started to spin.

"Very giddy, very giddy..." He said...

His son reacted promptly, grabbed him from behind and slowly let him down on the floor.

His son realised his Dad's difficult breathing and called for an ambulance immediately.

However, before the ambulance came, he saw his Dad's unstable breathing momentum came to a stop. He laid there motionless.

Mr Tan left.

Just like that. Without any warnings, within a few minutes.

It was too sudden, nobody knew what to do.

Upon diagnosis, the doctor explained Mr Tan had died of fatigue.

While attending to the funeral arrangments and informing all those they've known, the children had to inform Mrs Tan the difficult news.

The children struggled, as they all know they were and still very much in love, and that Mrs Tan is very reliable to her husband. But they had to do it, even if its too cruel to accept...

The children and grand children went to the ward, with Doctors and Nurses on standby. They broke the unfortunate news.

Mrs Tan was exceptionally calm. Maybe she had sensed it herself. She laid on her bed, silent. Tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

That very night, the ambulance sent Mrs Tan to her HDB block to attend to her husband's funeral.

Everybody who went felt very sad. Some even thought Mrs Tan was the deceased.

Those who were close, just couldnt accept the sudden fact.

Some said, Mr Tan might have experienced symptons. But he kept mumbed to himself cause he didnt want the others to be worried.

His fatigue is caused by his travelling back and forth the hospital daily.

But no matter what, looking at the silent weeping Mrs Tan, no amount of explaination can bring back her love.

I believe Mr Tan did not regret his actions, for his love for his wife is stronger than what his human body could managed...

--------------------------- End -----------------------------


This is a true story that happened 2 weeks ago. Deceased is my mum's friend's father. Surnames have been made up. I do not know their surnames.

My condolences to the family.

I guess we all have to come to face this day eventually. For now, fortunately, my Dad should be able to discharge next week.

I have been very tired and stressed up this week.

I have been running errands for 2 houses (my home n Dad's), and travelling back and forth from my place to the hospital to my Dad's place and back to mine.

Worst, i had many interviews this week. I have to travel to all parts of Singapore for the interviews. Of which, one interview even lasted for 3 hrs over, it was really stressful.

Even for me with a young body, i felt the fatigue. I felt very drained, let alone someone of old age.

I share this story with you. Just felt like sharing it.

Quote For The Day

Thought i'll share this...

I saw this when i went to the Zoo last yr. I fell in love with the words of magic instantly.

Only when the last tree had been cleared,
Only when the last river had been poisoned,
Only when the last fish had been caught,
Only then will humans understand that money cannot be eaten.

Pardon, I cant give any credits coz i cannot remember who is the author.

Great Song

This is so cool. A song consisting each line of 23 mandarin pop songs...

And the singer blended everything so well... I am bloody hell impressed!!!


Enjoy... (Only for ppl who knoes mandarin)

Guess Where?

Hmm, guess where am i?

My mum went genting yesterday again... Sigh...

Random Pic

Pics to ease my mood...

PAPPY BOY!!!


One of the few pics, whereby u can see his eyes... Haha... See his neck, got one heart shape one... So cute, he's looking at me using the computer. He banned from entering rooms then, so he can only sit there for the furthest. But now, the naughty boy doesnt care anymore...

I Should Have Known.

Bloody hell, Tan Tock Seng just called me to pay for my Dad's hospital bills.

Pay with what? I dont have any medisave or medishield. I don't even have any money in my CPF. I dont even have money in my bank account.

Sigh...

I knew it. I shouldnt have taken my Dad to the hospital. I shouldnt have signed the papers.

I just told them my Dad had spoken to the social worker.

Hope they don't bother me anymore...

As though im not stressed enough lately. Aaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Ive decided to keep this from my mum. She has been nagging me everyday for being so stupid to bother taking my Dad to the hospital and signing the papers.

If she knows this, i bet she will say, "Orbi lor, who ask u so stupid." Bah...

Last On NKF

CEO, TT Durai and along with 8 members of the NKF board have tendered their resignation yesterday.

Ministers will now step in to restructure/investigate and re-evaluate their accounts and management operations.

NKF have stopped all their donation events and may not resume for the next few years. Their last NKF 3rd show yesterday had turned from a charity donation show to a thank you show. No more 1900 something something.

The issue should come to a stop i feel.

However, i do pity the NKF operators. As they have to deal with the nasty citizens calling in to scold them shameless, asking them to resign, and they have to endure all their vulgarities. Some even made their trips to the company to make a scene.

I'm not surprised. Its typical of Singaporeans nowadays.

Its just that they are becoming overboard. Just withdraw your donation and that's it. Why do they have to insult all those who werent involved?

Some telephone operators felt so frustrated till the stage where that they even took out their own money to return to the donors.


PEOPLE! Just stop all the nonsense. Its not like they have done great injustice to you, even though you proclaimed that they had misused the money. But face it, the case had been there for so long, if you were affected, you wouldnt be donating to the shows this year. Come on, you did it for a chance to win the attractive prizes. No? Don't even try to pretend you are on higher moral grounds to judge.

E last 3 NKF shows had received a total of 10 over million dollars. But the case isnt new. So, don't even ride on the excuse.

Im not supporting NKF actions, its just that i find it so unreasonable for people to be so nasty to uninvolved parties. Spraying paints of evil words at their company is already such a bullshit. The CEO is not going to come out to clean the mess. The cleaners had to keep painting their walls back. How reasonable is that?

Think, people, think!

My sister is going to withdraw her donations. And she had just cancelled my mum's monthly donation to the NKF, whereby my mum was sort of cheated to donate in the first place. We let the issue rest cause its at least for a good cause. But now, my sis finds it meaningless.

We still have the 2000 over kidney patients (NKF lied it was 3000+) to think about. With their 30 years of reserves, why not increase their help for their current patients. Each patient is only receiving 30% of subsidise now. And its not that easy to be eligible for their assistance.

Alright, i hope that this is the last NKF entry. Let's just hope that the Gahmen will turn the table around with their influence.

Fare Hike

I've just watched the news on Shanghai's MRT fare hike, due to the fact that their MRT is overcrowded, so they decided to have a fare hike to solve the prob.

Ya right. Since when did fare hike help?

I do not understand why the countries have the same mentality. Its Singapore lately then now Shanghai.

When its congested, u use a fare hike to solve the prob. What kind of logic is that?

Even if you increased the fare, the same no. of people will still need to go home right? And if its convenient to go home by bus, who the hell will want to squeeze in a overcrowded train in the first place?

In Singapore, taking a public transport during peak hours is crazy. Be it Bus, or Mrt, or cab, or car. Every where is congested. Not becoz of cheap fares or watsoever.

Government has been trying to promote public transport to own vehicles. Thereby, they increase road tax, ERPs, with the idea that somehow, due to increase of monetary issues, people will take the buses and trains. But they have failed to see how packed the buses and trains already are.

Thats cause they themselves never take the public transport. SImple as that.

And then, now that you sort of want to clear the traffic on the road to force people to take public transport, u increase the MRT and Buses' fares. Ha, this is sooooooo clever of you, eh?

What crap. I am so fed up.

The morning and evening trains are so packed (cause i stay in the north region, by the time the train reaches my station, its already too packed). The buses are overcrowded. I couldnt get any taxis in the morning. And even if i do, i have to pay an extra of $5.50 for the ERP through CTE.

Even with the heart to pay more, i am still stuck in jams.

Fine, even if you travel along the roads without the increased ERP, you will be in a longer jam. Cause apparently, you are not the onloy one who know how to cheat.

U pay more, u jam, u pay less u jam, u take bus, u also jam, u take train, its so packed that sometimes u can't get on the train and you become miserable out of it. And the worst thing is, we have to live with these for the rest of our lives here in Sg. And for the freaking experience, we have to pay more and more.

Damn it. Now that makes me hate working.

Increasing the fares ultimately only result in one conclusion. It make us citizens grumble more and more. Cause apparently, the issues were never solved or improved.

Apparently, the problem is not with the fares. The whole freaking problem is clearly that we are OVERPOPULATED!!! We do not have enough roads, vehicles, public tranports for everybody. I know this is inevitable cause i don't expect you to start shooting us like the poor pigeons.

Yeah, i know the circus line is coming. But im not smelling it. And how effectively it is, we do not know.

Holy crap, you do not solve congested problems by increasing the fares. People still need to work, and people still need to come home.

I think this is the disadvantage of staying in a small developed city. I know New York's the same, and i also know KL's the same. I also know the scary prices of fares that Hong Kong, Japan, etc, have. But its different, you have to judge the standard of living in a country, not comparing durians to rambutans.

Sigh... I need to go take the mrt now. Non peak period.

Shorthands No More...

Had been jugglin btween going to e hospital n... Nonono, wait wait...

I SHALL PROMISE NOT TO WROTE SHORTHAND HERE ANYMORE!!!

Cause it has bloody hell grew into my blood and became a freaking habit of mine. (note i actually had to edit tis sentence for about 10 times. ) *tsk* tis = this!

Poor english, bad/broken english is ok, cause i never believe in writing perfectly in blogs anyways... Ok, that's an excuse! My english isnt perfect, i know, but hack... And tis "..." dotdotdot habit at the end of my each line is affecting me as well.

I learnt quite abit this week. I hear how I talk, see how I write, observe how I work. Well, cause i have stopped working for some time, and thus i became more reserved and stupid and slow and quiet and moody and watever. I need to know if I've changed somehow.

And I am so mad at myself!


Few things i noticed:

1) Singlish
I'm speaking in singlish! I never do that. Where the hell i picked that from? MSN! All the silly singlish icons! I actually spoke singlish to professional interviewers. Damn. I must slap myself for that. I am trained to not speak in singlish last time, and now i don't understand why I do that.

2) English
I am not as confident and fluent in my thoughts as compared to last year (don't know is it the lack of work or i become more stupid or simply i old liao). All because i realised my mandarin had deteriorated till the stage i can't communicate properly with my mum. But now, my english is affected. I shall stop speaking mandarin for the time being. Also, it is due to the fact that i had been hanging out with mandarin speaking people this year, and i didn't wan to be the odd one out.

3) Shorthands
I bloodly hell typed my words in shorthands for my resume, cover letter, etc. Damn, it was so time wasting, i had to keep editing the documents. The dotdotdot habit kept popping as well... >>> THERE!!! I used to type in full for online chats, until people say that im crazy. Haha. Well, i shall switch back. I MUST!

I have many things to blog. But I am pretty occupied. I shall find time to blog all my thoughts as soon as possible before i lose my mood.

But for now, i'll go sleep. More tomorrow.
