天啊，我最近好坏哦。 花钱就像是流水般的自然，一点也不犹豫。 也报了名，学 class 2B， 还在一肚子气，忍无可忍的情况下，做了个决定，买了一件超贵的东西 （但是，我觉得，那是我应该买的）。

好了，2012年4月将走进历史。 五月即将来临。 也该是整理和收拾好一切的一切， 从新出发。 把大部分的精力都放在值得的东西上吧! 把所有的错化成力量！ 把所有的误会，不了解，愤怒，不愉快丢掉！

别在浪费时间了。

Lk version 5.0. More resilient than before.

It’s been some time since I last updated.

As usual.

Anyway, went on a fishing trip yesterday! Andrew, Lim Teck, Josephine, and I. 4 people, on a little boat, and out we went. It was a whole day thingy, and we came back looking like lobsters.

First location was the breakwater just outside the yacht club. Some fishes here and there, but due to the proximity to the wall, we changed location after a while.

Second location was another breakwater further west. That was where we got the most fish.

Third location was some area where we did something in the past… No fish. Too deep, and current’s too strong, maybe.

The rest of the locations were more like sight-seeing drives. We went all the way to CNB bouy 4, and all the way North, and voila! We saw the Changi Exhibition Centre, and also SFT, Tekong, etc…

The weather was OK the whole day, wind, and sun. And all of us got sunburnt.

Zzz…

Overall, it was a nice experience, to be fishing out at sea. LOL.

More trips to come, I guess!

Work, is getting boring nowadays.

Or, maybe I am tired of things. Can’t find any motivation.

Yet.

Sometimes, I wonder, what am I doing? This is not the direction that I want. Or rather, there’s no clear direction.

Just when I have found my direction, something will come and steer me towards another direction.

I am being blown by the wind.

I want to stay put longer. I want to clean up things that are not cleaned previously. I don’t want to leave doubts behind.

I want improvements.

Sometimes, from what I see, my work is like a FYP. Do for 1 year, and then forget about it. Maybe some people will treat things that way.

That’s not the way I want it.

I do 1 thing. I come up with version 0.2 a few months later. I come up with version 1.0 1 year later. I come up with 2.0 in another 6 months.

Improvements. Not wait for problems to surface. As time goes by, people sure can foresee problems.

Foresee? Then improve.

If not, be prepared to suffer.

Sianz…

Why I always missed out the small things…

Not say that, I missed out all the small things. It’s like, I watch all the small things, and 1, just 1 of it, goes past unnoticed.

-.-

Hmm… my goodie bluetooth stereo headset has failed to power up!

I used that headset for work, in order to hear better out there. Now, it’s (almost) gone.

So who is going to compensate me that that? No one.

No one, except myself.

I have just bought a new one today! LOL!

And maybe, when I have got the time, I will send the old one for a full body checkup, and see if it can be repaired. I have asked, and the person told me that the service center is in Jurong Point.

Not bad.

If that can be repaired, then the “contribution” continues. I am not going to use that new one for work. No!

Bleah.

One thing for sure, usually, when you are in the cc loop of an email, it means that most probably, the email contents are linked to you in one way or another.

One thing for sure, usually, when you are not in the cc loop of an email, but suddenly you are in it, it means that most probably, you have been dragged in.

One thing for sure, removing someone from a cc loop without informing, is a no-go.

Something to hide?

There are many things, called ‘knowledge’, around.

There are also many things, which are categorized accordingly.

1) Must know.

2) Need to know.

3) Good to know.

4) Can don’t know.

If you are in the cc loop, most probably the category is around 2 to 3 most of the time.

…

Crap.

LOL.

Ok, I have decided to be nice guy.

I decided that all are not G.O.D. They did not know what had happened. They did not understand everything. It’s not their fault. It’s my fault for not telling them the full story, be it they listen or not.

I decided that I should just do whatever I have been tasked to do. I shall clean up the shit.

I decided that I shall be nice. This time.

—————————————–

Think: firefighters catching fire…

—————————————–

One small problem, big hooha.

I shall be nice. This time.

No, I shall not bite back.

I shall be nice. This time.

No, there are other people who really know what happen. The truth.

I shall be nice. This time.

No, I am handling too much things. Too much.

I shall be nice. This time.

No, I am not G.O.D. No.

I shall be nice. This time.

Different people think differently.

Different people have different ways of working.

My way of work?

…

Fight first. Defend later.

I don’t have the luxury to go do documentation before I do things. If I do that, I will forever be in documentation, then implementation, then back to documentation to change the procedures, and then back to implementation.

I don’t have the time.

I have a rough idea how things work. Then I go and implement it. And then I improve on it. And then, with the improved implementation, work out the documentation.

No. Documentation don’t really work in uncharted waters. You don’t even have the slightest idea where you are going, how are you going to plot out your route properly. Sure, you can say, draw the path first. And so, are you going to strictly follow your planned route? Are you so sure that you are not going to hit any rocks, or any other obstacles along the way?

…

That is why, I absolutely hate people, who like to jump around and screaming this and that. Why this not done. Why that not done.

Hello. I have not been going out for lunch for the past few weeks. You think while you all are spending 1-2 hours eating, I have been doing absolutely nothing?

…

There are lots of things to be done. Unbalanced workloads. Priorities. Roles and responsibilities.

I can choose to hide in my area of work, and ignore all other things. But I don’t want.

Why restrict oneself, and make oneself become so dispensable?

One thing for sure is, if you remain solely in your initial area of work, and you work for years, after 10 years, you will still be the guru only in your area of work. That is assuming nothing goes wrong.

Same for games. Will you solely level up on just one skill?

Some things, are just not everything…

Heh heh heh… my blog is back!

Over the past week, I have been trying to get the site up. Somehow, the DNS got screwed up, and the webby got redirected to some other site. And with a support that does not know what I am experiencing, it takes some time to get things right.

And after things are right, I am still wondering, is it ISP, server side, or what? Because, from what I know (and hopefully), the site recovered after a few days.

Strange.

Been a busy month. Went to Bangkok for a short jalan-jalan! Fun, even though there are a lot more places that I would like to see.

That will be all for now. LOL.

From games, you can really tell what type of friends you have.

Let’s take a team game, for example.

Those who don’t play team games, are non team players. Most of the time. Such people will tend to go their own ways after work, have their own plans, and everything is based on the word “ME”.

Those who commands people in the game, are called managers. Usually, they say the most things, but in the game, seldom there will be good results.

Those who say that one should have done this, should have done that, are called ‘cannons’. Say only after everything has ended.

Those who always got killed, are called lambs. They just cannot protect themselves.

Those who always got killed while defending others, are called sacrificial lambs. It may be good, sometimes.

Those who always got onto a higher level than the rest of the teammates, are called commandos. Usually, lambs are in the team too.

Those who still chiong when the rest of the team is not there, are called rambos.

Those who always complain, are called SINGAPOREANS la…

So… which one are you?
