News for me

He is such a nice person, but he's a step faster than me. I should be the one to go first, it's a pity he's before me. He must be overloaded with work, this shows i am not wrong. Whoever is reading this, you would not understand me. This sounds like death, but it is not. I really appreciate him around, he is the first to see me cry here. He has been a nice chap, easy going, friendly, kind and soft-spoken..etc.

It has been a blessing to have him around.

Whatever guesses, please keep it to yourself. I promised to him.

I will announce it when the time is ripe.

Updates~

Time to give some updates. Many have been asking me about my job hunting. Yeap, have wasted my leave and attended quite a few interviews. Some are good, some are not. Have been shortlisted for 2nd interview for some but i've actually rejected it 'cos the interviewer will be my boss where i find one of them sarcastic and another too pushy style. I shan't describe the details here, too much to write, haa..so i'm back to square one, will be putting to a stop first, its not fun attending interviews..phew...

In my first few entries, i did mentioned about doing sewing, it has been stopped since then, 'cos the machine actually breaks down. Wonder is it i mishandled or the machine too old? haha.. anyway, shall leave it there first and consider if i need a new set. =P

Life has been peaceful these days, not much of changes and updates. Learn to take everything easy now, since some things are beyond my control, why not take a breather for myself? hehe.. Cheers! ^^

Came across Dasmond Koh's blog, read the article from there, interesting..

儿子给父亲的一封信 (A letter from the son)

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow. It was addressed 'Dad'. With the worst premonition he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands,

'Dear Dad, it is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you. I've been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice but I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercing's, tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes and because she is so much older than I am. But it's not only the passionDad, she's pregnant. Stacy said that we will be very happy, she owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people in the commune for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better, she sure deserves it! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself, someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your many grandchildren.


Love, your son, Joshua

P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the school report that's on the kitchen table. Call when it is safe for me to come home :)

Bored~

Time: 8.50pm
Taken dinner, washed the dishes.
Mahjong session outside.
Hiding in the room alone using internet.
Checked emails.
Looking for friends to chat.
Friends busy, chat very little.
Staring at the screen blankly.
Watch tv? Sorry, only when i'm at my comfort zone.
Watch them play? Sorry, i rather stay at home.
Go back home first? That's too rude and disrespectful.

Continue to daze bah...

End time: 9.00pm

Never know i can finish my entry in 10mins, haa.. too fast, too bored...for another few hours...

Chinese Orchestra 华 乐 团

wooo! I didn't know i miss Chinese Orchestra until i heard familiar songs and performance by a group of university students at the canteen!

As usual when i was making my way to the canteen for lunch, i heard the song " 喜 气 洋 洋 " coming from the canteen direction. At first i was thinking it could be from the radio playing chinese new year songs. But as i was approaching the canteen, i saw a band of chinese orchestra members playing the chinese instruments. Somehow i started to feel a sense of closeness and my hair stands. Stands? Not shivers, not chillings, it's just an undescripable feeling which reminds me of my secondary school days, something nostagic. I slowed down my pace to see and listen to the song, reminiscing how we used to play songs on stage during festive seasons. The feeling lingers until i heard the next song, " 迎 春 接 福 " 。。。 the same old songs we used to play during chinese new year...

Those were the days.. if only i have my instrument and playing kakis, i would join Chinese Orchestra again somewhere someplace...

Joyeux Anniversaire!

Thank you dearest families and friends for wishing me another year older! ^^

Boss and You

Something interesting to share... hilarious.. haha..

Know the differences between you and your boss?

When you take a long time, you're slow.
When your boss takes a long time, he's thorough.

When you don't do it, you're lazy.
When your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.

When you make a mistake, you're an idiot.
When your boss makes a mistake, he's only human

When doing something without being told, you're overstepping your authority.
When your boss does the same thing, that's initiative.

When you take a stand, you're being pig-headed.
When your boss does it, he's being firm.

When you overlooked a rule of ettiquette, you're being rude.
When your boss skips a few rules, he's being original.

When you please your boss, you're arse-creeping.
When your boss pleases his boss, he's being co-operative.

When you're out of the office, you're wandering around.
When your boss is out of the office, he's on business.

When you're on a day off sick, you're always sick.
When your boss has a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview.
When your boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked

Happy Year 2008!

Let Year 2007 bring away all worries and unhappiness.
And welcome a brand new Year 2008.
May this year brings more joy and laughters to our lives.

Happy New Year 2008! ^_^
