No More?

i think i'm going to stop blogging. I've got nothing interesting to tell about myself anymore, and i think everytime when i say something here, it gets me back in reality.

So i think it's either i'm not going to blog about my life anymore, i'm not going to blog anymore.

Still thinking. Going Singapore tomorrow.

I mean today later in the day.

uFLEX training. Can you believe it?

In case you don't know what's a uFLEX, you don't need to know anyway. So just drop that.

Just hope i got enough money to spend there. Wish i can hold my hands to myself & not shop till my wallet drops.

Anyway, until next time when i really got something to complain about i might just writes again.

Or might not.

Good bye.

Happy Mother's Day

chim-chimz wrote THIS in Mother's Day 2006.

Difference this year is i'm in Ipoh instead of in Cyberjaya.

Other than that, everything seems the same. We didn't really celebrate this occasion, no special gifts or plans of such, no special treatment to Mom, almost nothing different from every other day at home, i guess.

That sounds to heartless, i know.

Ok, we live in a house where love is expressed so regularly that we don't really need a special day in the year where everything is more expensive, restaurants are most crowded, roads are most jammed with cars filled with everyone in the family, and isn't it shallow to show your mom you love them only once a year?

I'm not saying my style is the best style, nor am i saying that yours sucks. I'm just saying that as long as you let your mom knows you love her, it doesn't matter when you do it or how you do it, as long as it is legal of course.

Again, it's been 2 cycles in the chinese zodiac for my sign. i'm sorry mom if i made you worry about me, screw ups or said something that hurt you.

And i'm sorry you still haven't got any grandchildren as contributed by me, although i'm relieved you don't at this moment.

i'm sorry for not coming for dinner in time, and you have to leave my food in the heater.

i'm sorry for coming home late sometimes and you're still waiting for me by the door, although i know the tv shows are interesting at that time but i choose to see it that you're waiting for me.

So many apologies, gratitude is a must as well. So, thanks mom for giving me so much freedom to do what i want to do.

Thanks for heating up food for me when i'm hungry from work.

Thanks for not match-making me with your friend's daughter.

And thanks for watching that exciting tv show while waiting for me when i come home late.

Haha. Happy Mother's Day 2007.

A Little of Something Something

Tired tired tired.

From work mostly. Of work mostly. And with work mostly. All at the same time.

i just wish my working hour will allow me to go home on time, with ample work load & learning opportunities, and on top of that, a good pay. But i can live without the latter for the moment.

But still you need to pay me.

Like now, my legs hurt like hell. i can't really feel my legs actually. When i look down towards my bare feet, it looks to me as though my legs are boneless. Lying there lifeless. Just like that.

This is how tired i am now.

But i'm not complaining anything. i enjoy the experience i'm going through now, and i like this.

I can't say i love my company, or my boss, or my job. i just enjoy working in this challenging environment with lots and lots of learning opportunities.

Why?

i don't know about others but for me, when there's something i need to run in the production line, i'm the person who needs to do everything, including setting up the tester & the handler.

When i say setup, i do mean pulling the testers & the handlers from north to south, power them up, perform calibration after that, tune alignment of the testers if contact problem.

This is the task scope of a line technician. We basically have to beg them to do this for us. If knees are to heavy to kneel, you do your own setting up. So there you will see me pulling and pushing testers and handlers from one end of the production line to the other all the time.

My point is, when you need to get your hands dirty, you will know how things are done. Knowledge & experience makes people valuable in the market. With merely a year of experience, i feel very much enriched when i first graduated.

Which is good news i feel.

Feel grown up. Feel i'm actually using my brain in the right way, not memorizing derivations because it's coming out in the final exam.

But still, company system sucks. Managers consists of brainless bodies and loudspeakers. Employee's morale are lower than rupiah's exchange rate compared to USD. And the sales, well sales i'm not so sure but i heard ain't earning much.

Not sure if i'm getting any pay increment this year end. Definitely no promotion for me though.

So, weekend is here, and i'm not stucked at home tomorrow. Cheerz~~!

What is Life?

Yet another question.

Been full of question marks in my thoughts lately. Some with full proof solutions, some with analytical answers, some still remains a puzzle.

Didn't want to complain so much though. i learned a new word from a new friend lately. Sour-grape. I wasn't very good with all these proverbs and similes and stuffs, so pardon me if my vocabulary is bad.

Anyway, in case you don't know what this silly word means, it means someone who likes to complain a lot in life.

Now, don't look at me like that. I'm the last person who can be labeled as a sour-grape.

I read Laney's post. It felt kind of sad really. She's in IT line. Sitting in front of the PC more than half the time of the day is he job. Same with me here too.

I have some friends who go home right on time. I don't want to use the word early because it would be inappropriate to say people leave early from work. That would mean that they are unethical enough to leave work before time. So, i have friends who leave work on time.

When people leave work on time, they have plenty of time to do what they want at night. Going for extra classes. Workouts at the local gym. Going for a drink. Watch a movie perhaps. Accompany loved ones.

So what happen to those who work outside their hometown? i bet there are a lot doing this right now. After work, it's dinner with colleagues maybe? Then Saturday hang out with housemates.

Worse case, what if your colleagues are too busy going out pak-toh after work? Or same case with your housemates during the weekend?

Then what do you want to do? Or should i say, what can you do in the weekends or after work?

I'm a little better off of course. I work in my hometown of Ipoh, staying with my parents so save a lot on rent, and food. But still, you have to know. Who works in Ipoh?

Most of my friends are in Penang or KL. So a lot of exciting activities which i used to do during study days are no more available now.

Definitely no housemates to hang out with. That's for sure.

Colleagues. Not too many young people from where i work. That's good news and bad news at the same time.

Good news is, we're all very close. Bonded really well with each other as there is no generation gap between us.

Bad news is, most of them are "attached" to a relationship. That makes them non-eligible to all the activities we're having. So afetr-work and weekends are off-limits.

Now, where do single and lonely soul like me go after work or during the weekends?

The answer is, birds of same feather flocks together. We find other single and lonely souls to mingle and multiply.

And if it's full moon, we'll re-group with the others couples for some activities together. Not for mating though.

Now, what is life again?How do you enjoy life?

i wish to go traveling every now and then but i have not enough annual leave, and not enough money, and definitely not enough friends that are free enough to go traveling with me.

i wish i could start another relationship with someone right this time, but then cupid is having some problems with his eyes in these few years. He keep aiming me with the wrong arrows.

i don't know. How do you enjoy life? Tell me.
