Disappointing

It's 2.30am and I just can back from watching the game which was a total disappointment and a waste of time. They lost 4-1 where it should have been reversed. They were never in the game and were dominated throughout. With their style of play, they will never catch up with Chealsea... they might not even finish 2nd also this season if their performance continues to fluctuates like this. No consistency at all in them.... darn... they were a shadow of themselves.... a real disappointment.

Some difference

Not too sure should this week be considered eventful or otherwise. For the past 2 weeks I knew of the posibility of joining a new company after they enquired whether is it posible to deduct the balance of my AL off the 1 month notice to leave, which of course I wasn't been able to.

Then, earlier this week, I got a call from the company's personnel department asking me to collect my offer letter. My reaction was... what??!!! There was never any negotiation of the pay as well as terms and conditions, just the interview. And they're asking me to collect the letter. I became very scepticaland doubtful. Nevertheless, I went to their HQ to collect my letter.

The moment I got the letter, I opened it. Hhhmm... the offers seems ok. Some better, some not. The salary offer is almost 30% higher than my current one, which is of course a good thing. But probation period - 6 months and notice period after confirmation - 2 months. Somemore the first year no AL (it's quite common these days it seems). That 2 months made me kinda sceptical and yet, seems reasonable this the modern life. It's the current trend and gone were the days where people can leave after 1 month. Some even require 3 months notice period.

So I handed in my resignation the next morning. At that time, I was eagerly waiting for my boss to come in, if he ever does. I will never know whether will he be in the office or at customer's office. No one would actually look forward to seeing your boss I'm sure but that morning was the only time I was hoping to see him ASAP. Not that I dislike him or anything but a boss is still a boss and the moment they see you, they would usually ask you on your progress, rush you on your work or to assign you even more work. After months and years of working, kinda gotten immune to it already though.

Later that afternoon, I was called for a meeting with my boss' wife. She's the one handling all the administrative affairs. Apart of wanting to know the reason of me leaving, she also tried to counter-offer me which I did not accept. So now it's official, I've resigned from my company and will be joining my new company on the 28th November if everything turns out well. Let's hope the new company will also bring me pleasent experience and memories as well.

8 Months

It's been...
8 months since I've left college,
8 months since I last took my exam,
8 months since I've started working,
8 months since I've last seen some of ex-college classmates,
8 months since I've last touched my college notes,
8 months since I've last see people lecturing,
8 months since I've last slept in class,
8 months since people last 'spit' sleeping 'pills' on my face, my head, my mind
8 months...

8 months seems to have been such a long time, and time sure passes quickly when you least expects it to be. I thought my life would have changed the moment I took my scroll up on the stage but no... nothing major has changed. Just what I do everyday is different. My thinking, attitude, behaviour is still very much me. Nothing has changed in me. I'm still the same old me, or am I?

a not so typical day yet typical

Never before I got a wake up call at 6.30 in the morning and it was kinda surprising to get one this early. Hearing the ringtone, I knew which group of friend this caller is... and after seeing my phone screen, it was this 'woman' I knew way back since my Kung Fu days.

Blurred, I answered the call (don't worry, there won't be any conversation in my blog). Haih... turns out, she wants to print some of her past year exam questions and notes for her exam at 9am today. I wouldn't expect this sort of thing from her but anyhow, got the files from her and started printing. Couldn't finish printing for her though and by the time she got to my place it was raining. I knew she's been sick for the past few days so I thought today is again just isn't her day. Soon after exam, she has to go for a blood test for suspected dengue.

By the time she left, all I could think of is getting back into my wonder sleep. But by then, my alarm is already ringing. Shucks... have to prepare for work already.

Got to the office, no mood to work. Tried surfing around chatting before picking up my momentum but there wasn't much mood chatting as well. Just want to sleep. By then it was already about 10am. Then it was work as usual or so I thought. Just after a new air-conditioner was installed in the office this morning, another one broke down later this afternoon. So the office was back to its warm situation again.

The office was noisy, my table was full of dust and I couldn't work. Yaye... can escape for a while. Was doing some other things except being at my place as the new air-con was being setup. It was just before lunch, so my boss's wife gave us an early lunch.

After coming back into the office, began to settle down, cleaning my place until we realised, the other air-con is now not working. It seems to have been throwing tantrums for the past week. When the repair men came for the 2nd time to our office, it seems to be perfectly fine. They could not find any fault with it. It's as if the air-con is having some mood swings or something.

Soon after, I began to have some terrible headache as I was trying to solve a problem in my module and the more I think, the worst my headache becomes. So I had to stop and started surfing around and chatting again... both of which is illegal of course. But what the heck, there's nothing else that I can do until my headache stops and it is less than 2 hours before going home time.

Fortunately it got better as the time of going home is nearing. Otherwise it will just be an uneventful day for me. As I got home, the whole headache thing seems to have disappeared. Haih... and now as I've completing this post, I'm trying to think what else I can do besides surfing. Life is becoming meaningless as the days go by. Really got to find something to do lar... but what ar???!!!

so wu liau...

Wanted to post something but don't know what to write. Wanted to say something, but don't what to say. So I guess I'll just end this here....

Hahahaha
