Double Job

my studies was nearly in tatters.. because of the past my family have done.. these 2 days was definitely a test for me.. from hopeful to despair.. from despair to hopeful once again..

on monday, i went to the poly to submit my application.. and once again i make a wasted trip.. this is not the first time as i went earlier last yr the first time to defer my studies due to NS. on the other hand, i recce on how to get to the destination faster..

yesterday, in order to make up for the past they have done, my surrounding family members help out to pay for the misc school fees.. the tuition fees will be pay by cpf..

now is 2 down 1 to go.. im currently waiting for the cpf board to call me.. the poly ask me to do it online but the cpf website was not user-friendly at all in the first place that i make a complaint email to them..

if all went well, apr 16 will be the beginning of my 3 yrs suffering.. what im hoping for is the time table to be good to me.. so that i can contact my agent to find a part time job that is flexible to my timing..

Last Days in Warehouse

yes.. 2 more days to go..

7 months have passed since i started working in this warehouse.. whatever changes the warehouse went through, i seen it already..

i think the person im going to miss most is my supervisor.. especially his curses and swears.. i going to miss hearing that.. he is also the person i respect the most.. taught me some invaluable lessons in life..

whoever work with him long enough will sure kana the "sam syndrome".. must find work to do or else mind will go mad..

i know i might sound abit late blogging on this thing.. but who cares.. the way i see it, the more suspicion i have.. is like the moment i blog something about work, the next day these 2 people will somehow know what to do, to the extend i find it very surprising and coincidence.. i have 2 very good examples..

- admin staff.. i blog that i sms her misc stuff and work stuff but she wont reply.. then the very next day when i sms her, she reply.. now i cant be bothered to sms her anything.. no particular reason..

- warehouse co-ordinator.. i blog about her way of treatment with a high level of double standards.. the next day whoever do wrong, all kana scolding.. as usual, i still dont talk to her that much as my colleagues..

i wonder if these guys really read my blog, are you all going to be faithful followers of this blog?? lol.. i doubt so.. after i leave, i think im already forgotten in their memories..

Memories of warehouse experience

ever since i started working in this company, i have seen people leaving and coming at the same time.. to me, i considered my batch the first.. followed by the 2nd batch of newcomers to come and do stock-take at the end of the yr.. these are people who having finish their studies and waiting for their results..

then the 3rd batch.. i considered them the worst of all.. never do OT, pick wrong books.. by the end of one week, they quit themselves.. they are students who just finish their studies in ITE..

currently the 4th batch and also the last before i leave, i find them to be pro-active.. once they know what are their responsibilites, they will know how to do.. this batch is also the one that brighten up my day with a joker in it.. willing to experiment how is it like to be raincoated with plastic wrapped around him.. no struggle and raincoat him the tighest.. imagine a person trying to lose weight with plastic wrapped around him.. this batch are students who graduated from poly and are waiting for national service..

look, i already give the assurance to my supervisor that there will be someone better than me..

One against all

hai.. look like im not the only one who is complaining.. 6 months into this job, i finally saw my colleagues' patience been tested..

for this whole week, my colleagues turn to me whenever they got a scolding for nothing by the warehouse co-ordinator..

they do out of goodwill, with a good intention.. the end result was a scolding.. i chuckled as i think about it.. hehe..

the only comforting message i could tell them is, "you first day know her?"

i still have 2 weeks of suffering to go..

Final straw

one baseless remark prove to be the final straw..

"you never check whether you got receive or not, anyhow send.. later JT kana scolding again.."

first of all, whenever i receive any books for shipment, i will tick against the title, or write on a new piece of paper.. if i never receive, what for i write..

if the way i do is questionable, then i might as well leave.. the longer i stay, the more troubles i create..
since i already leave a bad impression to the ware-house co-ordinator, i might as well give a lasting one..

i know that im not close to her in any other way, but why the double standards the way i do and the way other people do??

out of goodwill, admit to her that i do wrong.. kana scolding.. but my colleagues different.. do wrong and all they get is, "you ah!!"

Happening in Chinese New Year

this chinese new yr, i saw more than what i bargain for.. all happened in the same day..

first, i was at the bus stop waiting for bus to meet my friends for movie.. sitting there, observing people when i noticed a girl wearing sleeveless shirt, alighting from a bus.. she hold her hands up to put her bag.. then my eyes zoom into her armpit area.. wah lao eh, armpit hair!! there's goes my new yr mood..

so my bus came, and board the bus.. along the way, i was disturbed by a loud cries of "Oh Shit!!" and i look into the direction of most communters are looking at.. a taxi nearly knock down an elderly jay-walker.. the elderly jay-walker was alright though was in shocked.. the taxi driver offer his help to the elderly jay-walker..

quite an eventful new yr i ever had..

ok, i think everyone is waiting for me to say whether did i confess even though the chances is zero??

the answer is yes.. i confess well knowing that the chances is zero.. at least i have nothing to hide now, nothing to lose, nothing to afraid of..

if you all insist on rating the chances i had, then i shall give some examples why i rate it zero..
- call but no answer..
- sms but no reply..

dont tell me the moment i confess, my chances will be 100%.. then i will be in for a surprise..

Mind and Heart

the reason why i took so long to say out was because my mind and heart dont agree with each other..

heart say like but mind want to take a longer time to decide.. if both agree, i would have taken the action way before the rumors have even spread..

most prob i rather take it as a crush or puppy love... because i doubt we can develop to the next stage of the relationship..

unless someone wants to prove me wrong..

Conflict of interest

look like im not very good in convincing people.. or telling some lies to get out of the way.. but i have to do it as i dont like to have attention focus on me.. i rather to be in low-profile..

i have only two questions to clear..

what if i confess?? will she accept me??

if no, then lan lan suck thumb.. if yes, it will be another problem to brainstorm another day..

Blacky's birthday

today is Blacky's birthday.. assigned to take care this dog during my stint in NS.. today he is 7 dog years old.. and that is equivalent to 49 human years old..

Blacky, you are an old dog liao..

oh.. finally i got car to drive on chinese new yr.. erm, i forgot how to drive liao leh.. how ah.. the last time i drove was like 9 months ago.. driving dog truck for deployment of duties..

Insecure

i donno what is my supervisor up to these few days..

every once in a while, he will ask this question, "when you leaving??"

i replied, "march!!"

is he scared that once i leave, there is no one to take over??

my answer to him : there is always someone out there will do a better job than me.. humbly speaking..

Peak period

what is the definition of peak period?? busy until no time for tea break??

but our definition of peak period is busy until can read newspaper.. busy until can go and play magnetic dartboard.. busy until can go for tea break.. busy until can walk up and down the warehouse.. busy until can go to the air-con room to get tibits and eat..

nothing to do.. so have to do something to keep our minds occupied..

Frequencies in communication

ever since i tell people that i will be going for further studies in poly this coming april, i received lots of advice.. thanks.. but the most wanted advice i wanted to hear didnt arrived..

i heard this line, "xiao mei mei likes da kor kor.." alot of times liao.. actually im not worried about it..

what i more worried about is the frequencies in conversation between me and those female classmates.. by the way, im pursing banking and finance services course.. dont tell me there is no girls lor.. i have a very bad record against those young girls whom i have communicated with.. dont ask me why.. maybe my expectations is higher?? maybe i should lower my expectations then.. haha..

any advice on this.. hur hur hur..

Handphone Technologies

as i mentioned previously about the handphones that im using, you could see that all are quite a jump in technology.. if i were to change a hp now, it will be another jump in technology..

nokia 8250 to nokia 8310.. an addition of FM radio..

nokia 8310 to nokia 6610.. an addition of MMS and GPRS..

nokia 6610 to those new phones on the market.. an addition of camera and 3G..

im not into gadgets very much.. as long got things to do and to occupied my mind, i can be very outdated about the latest gadgets.. even with consoles games like PlayStation and X-box, i dont owe them all.. i have Playstation 1, X-box.. but dont have Playstation 2, X-box 360 or Playstation 3..

just now i did this survey about my personality.. and this is what i had..

"you have a very strong will, not dependent on others and gives an impression of being a lone-ranger. you are extremely curious and sensual, living a clear-headed, modern life. at first glance you place yourself on a pedestal, and are difficult to get along. but once others talk to you, they know you are easygoing. and when the relationship develops, they realise you are affable (good-natured and friendly). you have an androgunous charm, which makes you popular with all genders. But you dont like your weak side to be seen. you might look cool on the surface, but beneath it all, you are really passionate. only people who know your true self can maintain a long lasting relationship with you."

all i can say is very very true..

that all i have for today.. need to have some coffee fix..

History of Handphones

i had my first phone, Nokia 8250, when i was in secondary school.. that phone was very popular at that time.. blue LED lights and a unique X-shaped keypad..

after that i upgrade to Nokia 8310.. this is my most favourite phone.. if i still have it, i wont upgrade for any other phone.. but sadly, i lost this phone.. it can hold so many smses that it can hang!! but the phone slowly used to it liao then never hang as much as it was in the first place..

i went without a phone for 3 months.. and i was still in a comfort zone.. doesnt feel lost or whatsoever until my friends began to complain to me.. they are having difficulty to find me.. haha.. then i give in and got myself the current handset im still using, Nokia 6610..

this phone have been with me for 4 yrs already.. now it is going to die on me any time liao.. and i have no choice but to relieve of this phone torture by getting a new one next month.. actually is my parents help..

me: "Nokia 6610, hang in there.. you will be relieve of your torture with a few weeks to go.. dont die on me yet as i still have some important data need to retrieve it from you.."

Nokia 6610: ".......!!"

lol.. sound corny!!

Warehouse politics

frankly speaking, i thought that i could fight again despite all those rumours in the warehouse..

because in NS, i fight on my own.. and prove it to those people..

but now this is a different ball game, different environment.. at least i learnt how to deal with it.. lucky the environment is in warehouse.. not office.. office even much more harder to deal with..

if i always go to the admin staff, complain this, complain that, say this, say that, she might as well be my nanny.. i wont get to learn anything in the working world..

now i dont bothered about it.. at least now i still have 2 months to go, what keep me busy is work..

Blog matters

some additions to my blog.. link up with some bloggers and their blog..

when i first started this blog, i wanted the add to be like, garylee402.blogspot.com or cool402.blogspot.com.. but somehow both add have been taken up.. so i have to come out with something unusual.. hence the x-surfer.blogspot.com.. last i check, both add that i intend to use is not there anymore.. kns.. but well, as i say, the rest is history..

Stubborn Leopard

A leopard will never change its spots.. kan cheong people will forever kan cheong.. i dont like to rush, be it in work or any other things..

i prefer to take it slow and have the patience to wait.. im not ashamed to say that i didn’t go into any relationship as im still holding onto this belief of having the one and only partner in my life..

i admit been playful as to sending those sms to the admin staff.. but these sms are send by girls leh.. dont tell me i have to see who like me.. like that i will be very busy leh.. seriously speaking, i cant find the link to it as to why they are speculating that i like the admin staff.. she also not close to me.. just a working colleague.. not even friends lor..

so far, i have not say anything personal to the admin staff.. i send an cryptic msg to her thinking that she might get it.. alas, i think im wrong instead.. look like i will tell her when i leave the warehouse..

i still holding onto that belief..

Observation

phew.. lucky i didnt go one step further if not im might hurt pretty badly..

i have been observing and at the same time maintaining my stand.. i didnt say anything or confess to the admin staff.. and all along, i maintain a work-related relationship..

look like someone have shown the tail.. and stop jumping to conclusions!!

Warehouse environment

wah.. so coincidence hor.. just post something about the sms thing yesterday, and today the admin staff replied back my sms..

very ironic hor.. very fun hor..

im sian is not because of the people around me.. im sian is because of the environment and the way work is been done.. work now is like a chore.. whatever we do, we must do it within the time frame given.. but the people who say it, doesnt do it lor.. is like you preach but didnt sow it.. and somemore the instructions given to us is like doing double job..

if given a choice, i preferred the former management..
