Surprise Surprise

Hmm, so… the company actually throw farewell lunch (or rather my dept “boss”) when staff leave, the temps that is. So yesterday, the whole big dept went to eat “zhi char” at this coffee shop. I didn’t count how many dishes they ordered lah, but by the end of the whole thing, it was ALOT… When you think its the last, miraculously another dish get served later… And so it goes there were 14 people present (including me, if you count me as one person) It like something like 2 tables pseudo-joined together. The “other” table has like 3 guys and 4 ladies. My table has like 6 ladies and 1 glutton… Like ermz… sometime in between, most people like stopped eating, including the 3 big guys on the other table… So who finished the food? No prizes for guessing… Ching Loong said I’m a high class “rubbish bin”… hahaha.

I guess most of them gawked at me or something… My table rocks lah, oh… did I mention my table the 6 ladies is 3 temp (so is YOUNG adults hahahaha) & 3 erm, (got myself into a corner) senior staff (ah hah!). After the lunch, they told me previously when there were always leftovers… they played dunno what handphone game and the loser have to eat a serving, until the food are finished… Like wth, why nobody said that earlier… But ok lah, for those ppl who wanna sabo me, TOO BAD :P

Hmm, today wrote quite a number of cheques, which is of course neither paid by me, nor payable to me. Hurhur… Working with numbers as small as a few cents everyday, to numbers as big as 10k. Next week I will have a closer companion to work with, woohoo!

Another Long Shag Day

Posted in General, Working Life at 10:47 pm by ryushin

Ok, so… my supposed assistant/co-worker still did not magically appear. So I’m still chugging away at the mountain piles of files to clear. Everyday… the backlog is still there. And every now and then, I think new batches will come in. Why do cab hirers have such a high turnover rate? Or maybe its just me thinking that. Ok bah, did like 128 hirers accounts and ermz, around 23-ish relief accounts bah, not including today’s tally, which I forgot.

Ok thats besides the point. Hohum, manage to secure a temp job for Pei Huang over at my side, more companionship for work. Yeeehaaaa. Hopefully can alleviate some boredom lah. Tatata…

Then well, tonight went to Thai Express @ Citylink Mall to meet up with my comm members for dinner. Actually to share / finalize some details & have an expensive dinner -.- Grats… I haven got my paycheck. I had some curry softcrab rice thingie, and Vincent got laksa (dunno which type). Emma had some beef noodle (izzit noodles?!) thingie and Cheryl had green curry blah blah. Sorry I wasn’t attentive… hahaha… I was already damn tired during the dinner lah. Then there is a plate of chicken wings that come FoC with use of DBS (izzit DBS?! lolz…) card. Then, finally, the dessert, there is this tapioca thingie which is not bad bah, saw that its voted best on the menu, so we just tried it :) After that, its a long long walk to the esplanade to get my bus, which came within 15 secs, how wonderful!

Random Stuffs

Posted in General, Soccer / Sports, Working Life at 10:20 pm by ryushin

Hurhur… Where do I start? Right… its BORING work again, hahaha… been doing the same old stuffs again. my gonna-to-be attached helper did not come yet, dunno wad involved in wad project. The longer the delay… the less leftovers there might be left… soon… Crap… Ok I shall slow down.

Actually nothing much happened today, except for… This idiotic faggot of an old auntie… Idiot idiot idiot… just wanna take free bus ride say lah… give excuse… what shouting aloud when questioned why she boarded the bus via the exit door (such that cnt tap the ezlink), scolding in the bus… “I waited for the bus so long you know, 45 minutes. You all don’t want to move in, how I come up. You tell me, how I tap the card.” FARKING IDIOTIC FAGGOT. Yea man… you expect a homogeneous translation of all the passengers in the bus towards the back within 5 seconds of people alighting? And she got a very qian bian look… Jump up the bus via the back door and immediately face behind and ignore the “hello” from the bus conductor. Poor Susan got yelled at for nth for conveying the conductor’s message. Farking hell, if my mood was any worse that faggot will face my wrath… Such idiots should be blasted to oblivion in the depths of hell. Spoil my day…

But of course the great jh came and save my day. By making my pc good to go again :) On other news, results for Euros 2008 are still going on course with my predictions… not that I made any profit though… boohoo. Portugal looked strong, sprinted out from the get go… can they maintain? hurhur…

Coming of Age

Posted in General at 10:31 pm by ryushin

Well, down here one becomes an adult at 21 years of age, which, had already passed by me quite long ago (1 year to be exact). So, this is actually about Ke Wei, hahaha. She has like many “scandals” during the organised function. Whoops, I’m not in a position to reveal more, hah. Erm ok wait, actually she is still a minor lol… The celebration was kinda brought forward to the weekend for convenience. And it was held yesterday. Overall the atmosphere was quite nice. I’m not picky about food (really :P), and there were comedic moments, esp the slideshow featuring the princess for the night, haha.

Waited quite long, for a chance to play pool. Haha… there is only 1 table over there. Wei Bao kinda got thrashed by someone else, someone we dunno that is. I lost to Hong Chang by 1 ball, lolz, but actually he helped knocked two of mine in. Lousy skills + too long never play = cmi, sighz. But Joy play funnier, haha, alot of mis-shots. Oh wait wait, here’s to reminding myself on the purposeful tops the Battalia HR comm (7 persons) put themselves into an array of rainbow colors, and Ke Wei wearing white just so happens to be the “cloud”. Hilarious.

Lets see, I reached home kinda close to midnight, and… jh wished me happy birthday on the stroke of midnight… Wow… so zhun! YES, it is my birthday today, muahahaha. But never celebrate lah. Thanks all for the well wishes and erm, the gift. You know what, its kinda funny to receive a birthday gift during another person’s birthday celebration. Lolz, appreciate it.

Hmm, apologies for not wishing Ken happy birthday… So sorry my com was in very bad shape, totally sian diao. One of my jc clique dudes who happen to share a birthday with my daddy! YES thats right, I have lots of important people whose birthday falls in June. $$$, gah… hahaha. Coming up about 1 week later is a triple consecutive birthdays sia… Susan, Kah Hwee & my mummy! Kah Hwee was going crazy about geminis… dunno why, our cliques too many geminis le. She can go crazy lah. I have no time to buy present. Haha. Ok wait thats an excuse… weekend then see how lah.

Meanwhile, its a wait for the start of another work week… sian!

Almost a Week

Posted in Working Life at 9:40 pm by ryushin

Right… started working for almost a week alr. My speed is ever increasing everyday. Maybe I should slow down tomorrow… They seriously have too much backlog. To ensure that the backlog is still there at the end of god knows how long, I should start to work slower, or get them to teach me new things. Bcos I think I’m underpaid! So it should be contra-ed against training fees, hahaha…

I dunno whether I should say this. Having taken financial accounting, yea, the ideas and concepts does help in understanding the work I’m doing now, especially specialised terminology. On the other hand, much of it is crap anyway bcos of differing company policies, different software, different nature of business, different models of transactions… you get the idea…

Another thing I’ve noticed. I still type fast :D numbers and letters included. Oh, there are some cute and pretty ladies in the office, hehe. But I’m sitting damn far away, and facing the wrong side :( There is always lunch time though, sometimes it helps.

Working Debut?!

Posted in Working Life at 10:36 pm by ryushin

First day of proper work, in erm blah blah pte ltd. Accounts department no less… like OUCH. I’m not exactly confident about accounting upon seeing my dreaded results… Worse still, individual customers’ accounts look horrible. HORRIBLE. Guess what? I’m leaning towards operations for my specialisation now, ahahah.

Ok… at least, as a newbie, I’m doing ONE type of job now, in a systematic process chain… so… maybe I can gain some proficiency in it, blah. Dunno whether I should continue after the trial period. Already earned my transport fares for the month, haha.

The Big D-Day

Posted in General, University at 5:19 pm by ryushin

Well… what do we have here? So it turned out my JC clique decided to brood over our results in Swensens yesterday, all the way at Marina Square no doubt. But it is ok… I have a direct bus. Why Swensens? God knows, maybe as a sweetener to soften the blow of our exam results? And in any case, Ken alerted us (izzit him?) to the 1-for-1 ice cream thingie, so I guess the cost is quite reasonable.

D-2.5 hour: Still on msn with the clique. I didn’t feel any sense of tranquility at all. My heart was like bubbling (with panic and anxiety) For many times, I told myself… BELIEVE! Not this time, I had a really really negative feeling…

D-1.5 hour: I should have left home. I had not. Thought I was gonna be late. In fact, everything suggested that I will be late. I still had to walk to purchase my bus concession travel, and backtrack. Until… I saw the bus, and ran towards it (my usual regular exercise?), evading some people and a cab on the way. Well, thanks to the driver who was nice enough to wait.

D-0.5 hour: On the dot of time, I reached the destination at our agreed meeting time. Saw Dom, Zong and jh. Well well, Ken is the latest one! hahaha. Nvm, at least I remembered to superpoke jh’s tummy this time.

D hour: That was it… the moment of revelation, despair, and sorrow. What grief and agony! There were mixed feelings, but the negative one was hugely dominant. The passages of time I cannot command, moments of folly forever entrenched.

One mod was staring at me right in the face, and it struck me like a thunderbolt. Dude… wake up… you got a B- for sleeping in lectures AND tutorials… What more could you ask for? THAT, exactly, was the problem. Solo-ing a mod is painful, with double 8am lectures no less. I was complacent… no… I was ARROGANT. It was painful, very painful, to score less than people who should not have been. Hurhur… I guess, congrats bro, you have won me in Maths for the first time in your life. But now an important decision awaits me… this mod, I cannot S/U it if the pursuit of that minor remains in my agenda. It pulled my CAP down. S/U-ing it will pull my CAP up. Wow… what a big difference. Decisive moment, not to be enshrouded in folly again…

On other modules, I’m very very disappointed in another too. I’m supposed to have an affinity with numbers… you know, but I guess balancing numbers are more difficult than manipulating numbers? Hurhur… Crap, it has to stand side-by-side with marketing in my grand scheme of results, utter crap! To my 2 dearest group mates in this mod, so sorry coz I think our project didn’t manage a desired standard.

The rest was good. I actually got better than anticipated in the mod that you can bring a mountain of text into the exam hall. Guessed what? I read those 3 textbooks in 3 days, haha… marvelous I say (I’m less qualitatively-inclined). But then, my strongest mod this sem was a surprise! I had wanted to get it over and done with and have nothing more to do with that department. It probably still stands that way, but wow… I actually scored higher than the other mod which I didn’t feel much need to study at all. Sometimes life is so full of uncertainties…

After numerous cussing, unhappiness, and gloom, Zong & Dom went to play 2 rounds of bowling each. I was still moody… Well, what came next was talking nonsense, some stoning, and dinner. After that, home sweet home. Was tired… and slept on the bus. Got informed that OG outing is scrapped, poor attendance… yea man. But it was actually as strong as my JC clique number wise (but not as bonded bah). Hmm, just missed the chance to see why people say she has the party & naughty look. Whoops, imagine I didn’t type that.

Finally, like OMG. I am gonna work? That is interesting (and unbelievable). I’m like a natural born slacker lah…
