CNY 2011 Day 4

It’s getting more sianz.

Holidays are ending.

———————————————————————–

Went to Chinatown area with eddy. Supposedly trying to find that target. No. The shop’s closed.

Bought drinks from koi cafe. Not a long queue.

Went over to bras basah. Bought an alternative target.

But still, I will be on the lookout for the original target. I want to see and feel the real thing.

CNY 2011 Day 3

Gone to JP, to try to hunt for my targeted watch. Failed.

Time to go to town area then.

Walked around with eddy. Nothing much to buy actually. So sian.

——————————————————————

Took MRT to Clementi. The time was about 5pm. Walked 1 round around the central area. Nothing much. So sian.

Went up to mandy’s house. They had visitors. But anyway, played a bit with trecia and chloe. I think I really need more practice in carrying babies and little children.

Stoned around till lt’s arrival. Went to eat XO fish noodles.

And then, Mac to stone a bit. With frappe, milk shake, and mcflurry.

And then, to the arcade in cityvibes to play the siao siao 3-player game.

And then, to sing a bit.

And then, to Mac again. Mandy’s hungry.

And then, home.

And then… and then…

What’s next?

——————————————————————

I wanted to feel pissed over some things, but I guess, since it has already happened, I will just let things pass.

To make simple notes for myself:

  • surprise appearances, even after several times of repeated confirmations. To be even more merciless in my words: uninvited guests.
  • simply singing, and hearing things other than the background music, sucks.

CNY 2011 Day 1

Ok, Day 1 has ended.

Nothing much actually. The same old places, the same old people, the same old things…

My å§‘å§‘ was a bit fast today. The first thing she asked me, was “有没有女朋友?”

At my grandma’s house, we heard the complicated story of my cousin. So complicated that I did not know what’s happening. LOL. But it has got to do with couple breaking up and remarrying, etc.

Chim.

After that, went to the temple to pray. Just felt that, I should pay that temple a visit.

And then, indian rojak for dinner…

And then, a late night chicken stock udon with mushrooms-leftovers-from-steamboat.

Zzz…

Not that much.

Bought 1 pair of shoes. Oh well. I love heavy shoes somehow. LOL. So I bought another pair of Caterpiller shoes. It looks nice.

Bought 1 bottle of Clinique Happy for Men. Smells nice.

Bought 1 Yonex shirt. Yellow.

Bought 1 packet of sour squirms. Yummy.

I just don’t care. I just buy.

Cleaning up Shit

I am displeased at cleaning up shit left by others.

Some things, even if you follow a certain procedure, you will not see any problem. Some things, even if you have done correctly, over time, things will change.

Conditions change.

And what can you do about it? Nag?

Wake up and start adapting!!!

Or simply admit defeat and get lost!!!

The latter is not Lk.

Busy…

Been very very busy lately. But most of the time, I did not know what I am busying with.

Felt no actual sense of achievement. It’s just routine actions.

Sometimes, I try hard not to look into workload distribution. Sometimes, it just seems that, there are lots of things to do. Sometimes, some people seem to be doing too much. Sometimes, people who seem to be doing too much, actually seem to be doing little, as compared to others.

I think, workload is not a good measure.

It’s the ability that counts. The ability to balance various issues. The ability to correct things. The ability to handle unexpected incidents.

If you have the ability, workload is nothing.

The interesting thing is, I think I have the ability. But the workload does not justify it. LOL.

I am an expensive look-out.

————————————————————————————————-

Troubleshooting is my speciality. In order to troubleshoot, I need to at least understand many things, from hardware, to connections, to power, to software.

At least.

Each piece of device has its own configuration. Each piece of software, has its own functions.

But still, I am not g.o.d. Don’t grab me to troubleshoot something that I have not touched before. It will take me at least 1 day to understand how things work first. If one does not understand how things work, he will not know whether the steps taken are correct ornot.

Don’t waste my time.

————————————————————————————————-

Played tennis with huahui on Saturday morning. The weather was still ok then. It started to rain at 12pm.

At least, I played.

Went to JP for a quick shopping trip. Bought a shirt. I wondered if I should keep it till cny, or I should just wear it.

As of now, I still do not have the cny feel. I have not really done any shopping for cny.

I guess, I will just wear whatever I have in my wardrobe. I have lots.

No cny feel.

Work until no cny feel.

Some people could still go shop after work. I wondered how they did it.

I can’t.

————————————————————————————————-

I have lots of things that I want to carry out. But due to the fact that I am an expensive look-out, that’s the opportunity cost. In order to lessen the cost, I tried to search for things during the weekend. Been trying to look for laptops with sunlight-readable screens, and perhaps, a spill-proof keyboard. Semi-rugged laptops, some called them.

I zoomed in on one possible candidate: the dell ATG.

See how.

————————————————————————————————-

An interesting thing that I have seen last week.

5 cables. 1 person with cable tie. The person with cable tie tying up the cables with it. 4 other people standing around him looking.

1 to make sure the cable tie is correctly used?

1 to make sure the cables are secured?

1 to make sure the cable tie is trimmed?

1 to make sure the person is not injured?

That’s the problem, when you have too much people, and they were not told what to do, or did not know how to do.

So? Watch how someone do… and smile, because the job’s done.

Well done.

————————————————————————————————-

Yes, I am being very negative. Very negative. Because I am displeased. I am displeased. Displeased with the way things are done. Displeased with the work that should be done. Displeased with the attitudes that were shown. Displeased with so many other issues.

Funny Work Incidents Part 2

Gonna do a power split. Which means, one power connector will have 2 cables leading into it. The bottom one will have to split the power to the top.

Happily connect up the wires.

Plug in power.

The top one had power. The bottom one with the split did not have power.

Did a connectivity test. Connectivity from top to source OK. Connectivity from bottom to source fail.

Interesting…

Checked the bottom cable.

Traced the cable.

It formed a nice thick and long necklace with the connector.

Funny Work Incidents

Incident 1

Happily connected up 2 wires from 2 different cables, for a telephone line.

Retried alot of times, and finally, got things together.

Happily taped up everything using insulator tape.

When all was done, it was realised that the cable was hooked to the container’s metal window grill.

-.-”

Laugh until pengz.

Took out wire cutter and cut the wire up. And repeat the connection, with numerous checks to make sure that no cable was hooked anywhere else.

—————————————————–

Incident 2

After Incident 1, went back to office. Eh, how come the cordless phone for the container was in my hands?
