umm.. i jus realise tat, some visitors n frns dunno the lingo used in my blog.. cos it's 2 localised.. "machiam", "boliao", "sui sui", "paiseh".. umm hehe if i knw earlier, perhaps i'll have jotted down their meanings somewhere on my blog.. den u guys dun have to guess or find out the meaning liao..

n i think.. ok... the "block" posting format shall continue.. but i will make posting more freq.. cos the way i blog now is, anythign new, i add on to the latest unposted blog. yes, to cut down on unnecessary posting, but it somehow oso meant my news is not tat updated anymore.. n almost like a wkly publication. whcih means the news is not fresh anymore.. i prefer my blog to b fresher...

a small hurdle at work

my work plc.. requires mi to understand n improve on the perl script. the last time i touched perl script seriously was 1 yr back. wif minimum research. den now, i am given the task to understnd how perl works, n how to manipulate it. i have to knw it fast n quickk. i dunno if i'm giving mysself 2 much pressure, but well, no 1 ever said i cant b tis hardworking rite?


superband contest

brods is out liao.. umm say lucky, or bad luck or wrong choice of songs? they have been thru eeveryround wif their voices, stage presence, and dances, and their handsome man image. i cant say it's a pity they din get thru, nor it gd tat they r out. cos they r jus there to sing their hearts out. not much attraction. they r yandaos. when they were not the first 3 groups to advance to finals, i oredi felt they got lil chance.

personally, i feel tat, their ballads not bad. but the fast song, lacked lustre! the judges had good commments for it, but i dun. they were muffling thru the rapping part, den the high notes, the guy cant reach it. was struggling to. they were singing simultaneously. but it cost them dance movements, n singing n mouthing the lyrics. they even jump to a platform to sing, but it din help. i wish 1 guy will do some stunts n 1 sing. later switch roles.

from the looks of it, lucify n soul stand good chance..


i got the exp!!

wah liao, i jus realise, since i started work, i din have the time to read my frns' blogssss anymore!! tian ah!!

anyway, it's really a stroke of good luck!! my prev job, uses apache server, n i so quite used to its style oredi. den at tis new plc, it's using weblogic, which somehwo i jus cant get it to work... wah liao... 3 wks down the road.. today (in my 3rd wk), my supervisor told mi, we gonna use apache, linux for the project i working on.. cool siazz!!!! apache is so much easier to use!! BUT... the 3rd party plugins.. i dunno liao lah... hope things go sui sui...

hehe, tis morning, a few strange things happen...

  1. i waited for my lift for the longest time ever! and waited for the traffic oso.. wah so time consuming!


  2. the gang who i lunched wif for the last wk, today suddenly din ask mi along.. wah i sianz liao, my upperstudy den called mi along for lunch. hehe, nice ger hor? so i joined.. n got to knw a new guy.. dun think wayward. not my cup at all. but hor, i originally decided to jus go buy packed lunch. anyway, got invitation.. ok loh.

    den later, i had wanna ask the gang "how come nvr ask mi along for lunch".. but after some thots, i decided to ask "eh, next time can ask mi along for lunch?" hehe..





am i blessed?

toking abt the lunch, tat new guy shared wif mi his interview exp. he ask who interview mi, n commented abt how hard the test is. tat time, i jus said "e test was ok".. while he commented its hard.. err.. at tat pt, i din really knw wat to say siazz.. say i din take test?? cos, i rmb i supposed to oso.. the flow was "interview, test, sign letter". the test, i skipped. but during interview, i was tested verbally though. but is tat test, or jus "asking qns"? but well, he's got deg, while i got a cert, stating i'm proficient in tech terms.. rite? if take test, probably i'll b stunned oso.. cos it's always hard to write out entire piece of code from scratch..

den, at tis new plc, i consider my pay to b highest ever, but to company, i'm seen as cheap labour. n my boss is helpful, not very demanding n takes good care of mi..

n i getting exposed to perl script.

n most of my tasks, java related, i perform quite up to std. perl.. still need lotsa brushing up. they din pressure mi hard to perform well in perl, but i still ned to work hard..

den now, they gonna put in apache webserver, which is my preferred 1...

i hope i'm really heading for a gd career.. n the colleagues here not bad, quite funny n jovial


art of making frns @ work

to show tat i'm frnly, approachable, n easy-going to n for some people, do i have to go all out to show them? or take it as it goes?

well, now i'm truly more relaxed n chattable. i cna easily think of a topic. but.. do colleagues really wanna have so much chat? even if u r wif a newfound frn, unless both r chatty, it's not nice to keep creating the topic.. u may sound despo to click wif him n tok too much. ie, trying too hard to tok. jus let things proceed smoothly..

den as for at work... oh well, for mi, i can either b real chatty, toking to ppl easily.. but keeping up wif the topic? n keeping up the chatty personality? its tiring. i mean, to pass time, i can really simply find ppl ot tok and chat. but ultimately, nothing beats finding a good soulmate at work, whom u can pour ur sorrows out to. my 3rd wk here oni, wnana find such mate. knw it takes time. so i think i jus have ot take things slowly.. wif new found frns, i can click easily. wif coleagues, work is priority.. chatting is.. leisure stuff.. i guess it takes time to knw ppl n find ur own kaki...

these r my sentiments..


fri.. the relaxing day..

thinking abt my prev job, the cycle is like.. mon to thur, it's machiam relaxing day.. no schedule for mi to rush. DEN, on thur/fri, my sup will come up to mi, saying wat modules r expected to b done.. end up, mon-thur, relax, den thur to fri, chiong time.. to try to finish certain modules.. now, new job, more to "i knw wat's expected of mi, so i can plan my time.. on fri, a really relaxing period, cos it's gonna b the wkend.."
