生存之道測試

積極而友善是你最大的特色。在工作上你有著強烈的好奇心，而且積極地把握每個機會去學習及展現能力。你也是個友善的工作夥伴，是同事心中的模範teamplayer。在愛情方面，你勇於示愛，而且善體人意，是個不可多得的愛情EQ高手。

優點：即使叢林的生活不時有些險惡，你仍不改心中那股生活熱情。面對周遭的人事物，你總是用正面而體諒的方式詮釋，因而你鮮少憤世嫉俗，更不易庸人自擾。你的熱情活力感染了周圍的人，跟你在一起工作會是很愉快的經驗。同時，在愛情中，你很注意對方的情緒需求，也有著極佳的衝突處理能力，是個體貼而懂得尊重另一半的好情人。

提醒：你對人總是心無防備，在你眼中，每個人都是好人，然而叢林中有時危機四伏，難免有人會不懷好意，提醒你在必要時也該發揮警覺心，嗅出異樣就該掉頭，用你優雅的羚羊跳躍，遠離叢林中的危險。

Too bad, it is not totally correct. If I can really manage conflict so well, a lot of things may not have happened. Instead, I am a person who rather avoid conflict than to confront conflict. Sigh...

Chipmunk's Recommendation

Wednesday's meet up with Chipmunk, she recommended 2 things.
1) Japanese Ramen and Unagi, she recommended the Japanese Shop outside Park Loyal Hotel.
2) The place to buy Midori, the melon liqueur which I have searched for a long time. She recommended Isetan at Orchard Road.

Yesterday, my friend and I visit these 2 recommendations.
And wow, really the Ramen is really the best I have tasted so far and I have found my Midori at last! I have learn to believe you. Haha, any 4D to tell me?


We also visit the Singaporean Sling's birthplace - Raffles Hotel.


Today, Russell is very happy, he built a 'castle?' with Lego.

知己 , 感动

那天,我们在'弹唱人'听歌,
我点了张学友的'我是真的受伤了'.
而当餐厅歌手演唱这首歌的时候,
你问我'当你晚上一个人的时候,这是你的心情吗?'
谢谢你,在那一刻,我感动了.
不过,因为有你和家人朋友的关怀,
这已经不再是我的心情了.
友谊长存.

Summary for the past week.

Have not posted anything for 8 days. Nothing really interesting, mostly dull and busy work. Here is a recap.

Here is a summary of the past 8 days.

Last Friday night (17 Mar),

watched movie, 'Cry Wolf'. It is a average movie about students playing a game in campus, and the game is getting more and more real and brutal.

Last Saturday (18Mar),
Back to office in the morning for quarterly maintenance, and 2 Servers migration to new hardware.

Work till mid afternoon, and watched the movie 'V for Vendetta'.
The movie is quite nice but sad to see so many familiar London building get bombed. :-(

Monday (20 Mar),
At last, my leave is approved!

Yesterday, Wedenesday (22 Mar),
Make some progress in the transistion checklist, feel better.
Found out team building will be in Sentosa next Monday and Tuesday. It will be having less time to get work done. Sigh....

洗涤

愤怒的怒火,失望的伤痛,
急需音乐的洗涤...

A unhappy event

Due to recent changes in the company, I am going to be the last to leave my portfolio and also handing numerous things, in addition to my projects and routine work, yet some people just can't stop throwing works that can be done easily over to me. I rejected and stand my ground, she is unhappy. So be it, I only have 2 hands as everyone, and this is a task that can be taken care of easily by the people involved.

Here is the case :
Colleague A was transferred to vendor as part of the reorganisation. His procurement right was revoked, and he need to make a procurement for some network maintenance. Our procurement in charge has stated clearly that in these period, the vendor procurement need will go to our department admin, and she will raise the procurement on behalf. I believe it is good arrangement. Yet, the person B, asked me to raise instead; the reason being the admin is not IT trained, I rebuked that ex-colleague A (a engineer) will be guiding her, which will be as good as he raise himself, why do you need me to raise? Person B is not happy and say she will raise herself. Fine, I am no convince of your answer and I already have one whole load of work thrown from you, enough is enough.

I hereby declared that I will not be bother by this case anymore and make myself suffer and feeling uneasy. This feeling stops here and now. I am not guilty and I will stand my ground.

No more Instant Messager

On Monday, it is announced that no Instant Messager is allowed in the company even if it is used for work.

I will miss one of the main way that I keep in contact with my friends....

Sigh.... This is the beginning of a bad week.

Rushing for time

I have been rushing for a last of things recently, because I need to make it before the next quarterly system downtime on next Saturday. I need to migrate 2 Java Application and Web Servers while also setting up another 1 for software upgrade testing, not to mention having to juggle with my routine works and managing the Application Infrastructure transistion to IBM. Hope I can make it. No, I will make it. I am sure, just a bit more...

Cocktail : Bailey's Comet

This is my 1st try on shooters, but I do not consider it a try, as it is super simple with equal portion of Vodka and Bailey's Irish Cream. I like the taste of the Irish Cream, but always find it troublesome as it must be placed in the fridge upon opening.
Nonetheless, I have 2 shots of it and to bed I now go. Sweet dream to me, tomorrow will be another hectic day, but well, it is also Friday (look at the positive side. :-) ).

Drama : Army Daze

Yesterday night, I visit the New Drama Center at the New National Library building. It is performing the drama 'Army Daze' by Toy Factory Theatre Ensemble. This is humorous play which focus of the new recruits and the family. It make me laugh a lot and also refresh my memory when I am a recruit (more than 10 years ago). It is humorous and yet using a lot of real scenarios to illustrate the tough yet fun army life, and the process of making a man out of a boy. I am a bit disappointed that it is rather short at one and half hours only. The new Drama Center is also very comfortable and I will look forward to visit it again.

Golfing at Batam, Indonesia

Today, I went to Batam with my colleage PT and her husband for golf. They are both very experience golfers while I am just a beginner who have not play even a 9 hole course yet. Although I played rather poor as expected (Only 1 par and 2 bogie for 18 holes) and also lost 3 balls to the obstacles. I learned a lot, from gripping, stance, swinging, playing in difference terrains and obstacle. Hopefully, I will play much better the next time after more practices. I also need to play relax, I am too tense and under pressure today. Have to enjoy playing more. It is rather hot today, my hands are now very red after playing under the sun for 4.5 hrs, luckily I wore a cap, so my face is not too bad.

I will sleep early tonight as I have not have much sleeps for the last 2 days.

Movie : Underworld - Revolution

It is the sequel to the movie : Underworld.

It continues the saga of war between the Death Dealers (vampires) and the Lycans (werewolves). The film traces the beginnings of the ancient feud between the two tribes as Selene (Kate Beckinsale) and Michael (Scott Speedman), the lycan hybrid, try to discover the secrets of their bloodlines. All of this takes them into the battle to end all wars as the immortals must finally face their retribution.

Although this is a rated M18 movie (Mature : for 18 years old and above only), I think that it have the mark to be rated R21 (restricted for 21 years old and above), it have loads of horror, bloodshed and strong languages, and a rather detail sex scene. Since last year or 2, Singapore have loosen the control of media, and allowed more uncut edition which I applause after enduring so many years of watching movie and VCD/DVD shortened by the authority.

blogtag: embarassing events

Ouch! I have been tagged by LDD to talk about 5 of my embarassing events.

1) 9 years ago, I went to my UK coursemate's (Florence) house and help her fix her computer, we are building it from scratch by buying parts and assemble it. I actually short cicuit and trip the power breaker twice when the power come in contact with the metal casing of the computer. Yeah, so much for a Newbie IT Engineer then.

2) When I am in primary 1, my teacher says Rolex watch is a expensive watch, and I thought it mean digital watch, so I say I have one on me. The whole class is shock and follow by great laughter when the truth is out.

3) In Secondary 2, I am in the choir. During practise, the music teacher ask me to excuse myself for the team. The reason is my voice is changing (from boy to man) and will not be suitable to sing in that year. Sigh...

4) Just last week, I bring my mum to have a Japanese meal and I found out that I did not bring my wallet, causing my mum to have to foot the bill. So embarass...

5) A couple of year back, after being pick on by my boss, I went to tell one of my colleagues, not knowing my boss is in the cubicle beside my colleague. She suddently say that is not what she mean when my colleague and I are talking about it.
(that time we are using tall partition, now we are using open concept. Phew, much better)

Now, my turn to tag people.
1) Carrie
2) Eden
3) 炎
4) 畢滿

Dear friends, have a wonderful weekend.

How do you live your life?

How You Life Your Life

You are honest and direct. You tell it like it is. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. You prefer a variety of friends and tend to change friends quickly. You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.
