There are surprises today at office which i did not manage to take pic
(1) Stalk of flower nicely wrapped given by the temp gals
(2) a pooh bear soft toy hp holder from Donut
(3) a Hello Kitty Uno card set and same kitty water tumble from Lisa & Winn. They feel i will be lonely once moving over to the new workstation and it is too far from pantry. So thoughtful!
(4) SMS and e greetings
Every little and big wishes are precious :)

Help out @ Christmas Charity Bizzard
Today is finally the day i have to help out at our company charity function.
Went out house at 8.45am despite sale to be start at 10am. Din want to be late and thought it was good to go early n set up.
Reached venue at about 9.40am n no one there. Luckily a aunty came and she spoke to me. At first got abit panic as not sure which stall meant for me. All were covered up with canvas. Finally managed to settle down.
At 1020am, my 'buddy' had not turn up. Quite piss as got to set up stall. And no one to brief. Then came a guy who was suppose ( i still think) e main organiser. He came and was telling me wat to do, set up this and that. Well, ur friend here of cos not happy. Told him to go and set up the hook for hanging clothes instead :P e wife was rather rude and the kid was helping in an unhelpful way!
Finally 'buddy' came.
In between, was rather shocked that ppl actually came and bought items. I was like the first among all to start having biz (so pleased). I din really bother when ppl came over as was setting up stall. But it was quite interesting and abit cunning of me lah. I jus let the kids play with the toys and guess the mummIES were feelin abit bad and hence bought the items haaaaaa. Maybe i should credit my display strategy. Place those Pokemon CDs prominently and some toys that were so handy for kids to touch n play haaa
My buddy was such a quiet person and she jus took one of the books to read. So i kept running to another stall to chit with other colleagues (whom i still dun know their names haaa).
As mentioned, there are unsolicited sales n tend to come over to me heehee.
At about 11+, i was getting very tire already. My chair was taken by 'buddy' so was standing there for an hour over. Finally 'buddy' realised that and got me a chair haa.
So wat were we selling? GOSH... 2nd hand items. There are kiddy toys and 2nd hand books. And some other environmental books by a society.
At 12+, 'buddy' and i each read own books. And realised that only me tend to give silly smile whenever someone approach our stall.
At 2+, two veteran staff came and told us excitedly that they bought more things to sell. Was anticipating for better quality thingys. But...... almost faint! WOnder who were those ppl who so bad give bad and smelly clothings for sale! i mean even if we are talking about 2nd hand items here, there must be QC mah!!!
Still feel abit sour. I think that 'buddy' din wan to dig through the stack n got me do it. The pungent smell and disgusting stain on those clothes really make me puke!! And my face got itch, guessed must be the dirt flying ard.
In the end, we jus put two boxes meant for toys and clothes separately. Managed to dig out a colourful pants and put it on top purposely. Guess wat! Bingo!! ppl actually buy it. GOSH.
There was a v touching moment. An aunty came over with a pile of books and told us that since it was meant for charity, she took her daughter's unused novels to contribute to our pool of items to sell. At least the novels are well maintained.
Left the place at 230pm. We had more cash than wat was recorded. Guess i must have forgotten to record down haaaaa.
Headed down to another level. got a xmas present and then pairs of shoes. As usual, it took me jus than 3 min to buy the shoes. Buying shoes go by the heart. If the design or the look catch my heart and price is ok (my ok is really like less than $20) will ask for the size walk 3 steps, check the quality and pay. No dilly dally hee
Nothing for tops as i m too fat liao. Really nowadays sizes r shrinking. YUCK!
Spoke to my ex collauge for almost an hour on the phone. Was very touched that some of them stil rem me and wanted to invite me over to their Xmas office party. But declined. Dont think appropriate for me to appear now that there are some internal politics. Better let them bond. Hopefully they will iron out conflicts asap. Very heartache. As it took me so much efforts to get a team and built their espirt de corp (lookin back, i actually transferred some who like to create office politics out of it despite lack manpower, but everyone were willing to take on more work). But it jus take one to two people who cannot split work and r'ship to ruin it. Anyway m in no position to say anything.
:P

the little secrets and fears
I din really dare to tell out front that i yearn for KTV singing but at same time still worry.
Sometimes, the eyes jus wet by itself. Usually when a song stir emotion.
I have yet to step into singing box since last nov. Hence not sure how i will react. The problem is i dun wan to wet anyone else mood.
Truely, aft one yr i become stronger n braver.
It only that we are still human after all...

Not focus, not time sensitive.
Need inspiration jabs continuously.

Disgusted experience at Compass ActionCity
Terrible.
Went there to get a Xmas present for office exchange on 21st Dec 2007.
First, there were a couple of sales persons but they din offer to assist.
2nd, was then told to buy first then get the stuff for testing.
3rd, the gal who did the testing pull her face long and tookd her own sweet time. After that, crudely told me to queue up next time.
WAS SHOCKED!
There was no human queue in front of me.
I was not told that there is queue in front of me.
She retailated she had alot of gifts to wrap.
MORE shocks!
She could have tell me that she need to finish wrapping. Btw the presents were not on the table and also i was not pushy. Was only asking if that is the correct counter for the testing as the 2nd staff jus look at this 3rd staff.
U know wat happen the next thing?
She slammed thing on floor when i reminded her to mind her customer service.
Great act, gal.
I wrote to the company and awaiting their response.
My conclusion:
Quite obvious this gal is tire
She could have wrap presents endlessly and got pissed
Only she is doing the wrapping and testing. There were some who jus STAND THERE.
She was not trained how to communicate with customer. Acted machiam like she is queen. Maybe at home she has such privilege. But this is outside and working dear.
Or sales is too good that there is no need to be nice to customer. Anyway already paid, wat can i do?
I would rather applause Mini Toons. Was fumed while walking to escalator. The mini toon staff greeted me and tried to invite me into the store to take a look. Theere was smile and energy!
The previous really spoil shoppin mood and really it is so disgusted
Company which uses temp staff need QC and training also.

Fragmented thoughts
(1) On Translation Course
Gotta attend three lessons this week. One addition on thursday is meant to replace the one which lecturer overslept. Of cos, if u know me well, i am indeed very unhappy about it!
Anyway today managed to force myself to class despite the rain and really thankful the rain ceased on time for me to walk over from office to school without wet :)
It was still fruitful at class. Actually more fruitful. At least today i can understand at lest 80% as compared to the previous.
And there is something i m not proud to anounce but thought good to declare and confess here. Probably friends already know and put up with my that really 'cannot make it' english grammar. Haaaaaa really lah, when certain culture and vocab sink into ur everyday use, subconsciously u jus take it like a matter-of-fact.
Lecturer mentioned that alot of our spoken Singlish derive from confusion or infusion of Mandarin/Chinese into English. For instant, i m the constant culprit of 'eaten already', 'eat liao'
Well, have even coined 'done-D' to stress that the particular task is done.
That is the fusion between english and chinese. haaaaaa
So gulity and upset when lecturer said that she believes ppl like us who attend translation course... that our english should be powerful. :P nope i m not!
Nevertheless, i am jus one of those KS Singaporean MAH. Everything know abit here and there and no wiser of any. So becos i can read A-Z and abit of a,e,u,o,i and there i sign up for this cse :P
No no, not giving up and cry baby i cannot do this and that or bad at this and that. Jus continue to learn n beat myself. Cultivate and excel.
Many things have proven i m bad at this and that, it is getting bored. I wanna to have things to quantify i have improve.
:) Figher mangojo this moment
(2) At work
Too lazy to describe what happen but witnessed two silly women catfight in the office. One is a Snr Mgr and the other a Mgr. N as usual innocent me got dragged in.
They are jus making themselves a laughing stock.
Right now i feel handicapped as still not very clear of the industry and also not strong with maths and statistics. But But But, yes! y do we have words like 'but'? cos situation can turn u noe! If u read my previous posting, see my proverb haaaa
(3) Clothes and wet weather
Dread it! jeans taking more days to dry. And w/o sun, the clothes jus had this v damp feel and unpleasant smell :(
Maybe a v strong reason to buy more clothes liao
(4) Injured Tummy n massage
Yesterday went to Cathay building for a massage at Elements Spa.
Was then introudced to this slimming machine called wat RF roller.
GOSH it was hellish. Aft 30 min, 'lost' 1/2 inch. In return patches of blue black and u dun know how painful it is! Cannot talk, walk, move. Every slight movement caused real pain :(
But i sign up masage package instead. Cos decided not to go for machine but massage. This package allows me to pick from a list of massage, facial, hot pool spa. It is by credit system. Hence if i go for a simple massage, it allows me 24 times. But if i choose others, then less. Decided i will go for the hot pool spa or slimming massage+wrap or simply massage.
(5) Korea Won
My first and probably last trip to Korea was last Nov. Still left about $500 worth of Korea Won. But realise that SGD appreciates alot. Hence now to convert back to SGD, i gotta lose out abt $40! :( But it is better to exchange back then to leave it to depreciate further. And well there is a classmate who recalled i am looking for buyer and offered to buy from me. As usual i dun really too particular with friend and rather he go and find out current rate and pay me accordingly. Not use to negotiatate with friend mah. And still it is more worth to lose out to friend than to money exchanger lah, tat is my philosophy.
This amt exchanged back can cover massage package
Money too little as usual
(6) Laundry
After typing sooo much, finally towels are ready for hanging. Yes, now is 1242am and my washing machine is beeping real loud. Neighbour downstair must be cursing again
Yawn yawn
Gotta hang towels and then proceed to bed room. So tire but it takes me a long time to sleep. too use to read abit and listen to radio before knocking off unconsciously.
Hopefully not waking up intermittently. This happens becos aft 3 yrs of working at own time own target, have to force oneself to wake up at 650am n sandwich on MRT!. Sometimes i tend to look back. If m still in PA, goin to work at 1030 is nothing u know!
gone are the days. m now jus a stupid executive
haaaa u gain some u lose alot mah

Emotions!
Friend commented it was long time since my last entry.
:P
Was lazy (LAH!)
Quite an episode this period. Yap n i created it!~ as usual (BAH!)
Will pen down later.
But now i wanna to give my two cents worth of a show - 宫S.
Today is the last Episode. At point of typing this, it is still going on.
Actually din really follow this drama. At such age, tried not to and hardly will want to follow a long series. It made an ageing person more aged!
There are two princes (which i din bother to recall their name). But the 'fake' prince suffering made me empathise with him.
There are always two sides to a coin. People tend to envy the better side of the other, for instance, 'o he is a royal member'. But there are the other side of his story.
He can choose to remain wat he is and then follow his dad plan to take over the throne. But human beings are really complex! People just do not like to take cue from others. That is why u hear 'defy destiny' such sayings. People feel breathless when they cannot take own control. Many are willing to face any consequences for OWN decision.
But life gets twists in many occasions. It is how the person perceive and steer the wheel of life, get drifted, and of cos threshold is another important factor.
Got drifted the past few months. Last week i stood up to own belief and fought for change.
Today it seems to get better but another uncertainties set in - (1) if the change is real (2) if real, can i cope? no, sorry not 'cope' but 'EXCEL'.
There must be another wave i am to create in my career. It has since 3yrs+ i feel real at work- CONTRIBUTING and STAY RELEVANCE

Where is the Passion?
i have been bitching, to everyone on the new job.
People said and i do agree my life is much simpler n lower pace and i get more free time.
But something is seriously lacking.
From the development and the management attitude, do not think i can really develop that passion with this job.
Not that the previous job is great. But admittedly i found some passion in community work (sort of lah) and tat is how i can drag for 5.5 yrs.
Nevertheless i am still clear why i chose to leave: No life, almost every minute on standby. No justice to my contribution vs pay. A ACM can earn more than me (not talking about veteran ok!). Sexual harrassement. Ugly uniform. Seriously no transparency in the system, unfair treatment and injustice by management. There is no turning back unless (if ever) pay counter offer is like 3 folds what i got (belive me again, that my pay was damn lousy back there)
But... when i read Tibetan Nun blog, it also hit me that despite that 8.30am to at most 7.30pm work day, i do not have that kind of energy and enthusiasm back in those days where i would work till 2am and still dancing away.
It is indeed empty feeling. Like a corpse going to office. Like a prostitue letting the day goes by and get it done and past. (well well, still rem LTA engineer told me that we should treat ourselves like prostitute, do and go).
It is confusing emotion. Could it be the toil so far that wore me out? or really being passionate wiht the job is still important?
Tonite my msn nick as follow "Doctor or Nurse? Pilot or Air stewardess? to be lead or support? "
How come ppl always shine out there but i m always the support? The one that others do not even know the existence. In this world, it is really painful to be the mediocre.

all about dougnut
Finally get a chance to taste the donut from i think Donut Factory? the one at Raffles City where ppl q like mad.
My colleagues went to carrefour at Suntec n they bought back box of doughnuts. i took the one with chocolate inside.
Actually i feel that these new age doughnuts all too sweet n soft lei. Tried the Vivocity one (did i tell u that i force ppl to buy? if not wont attend his meeting? :P, gone are the days where i can terror ppl life')
Still prefer those traditional one where you can find at maybe four leaves or bakery shop.
Wan to try the glutinous rice at PS but din get chance cos one ball looks too big for me. And it wont be feasible to put it overnite since there be filings inside. someone wanna share with me? n of cos share the costing
Y? cos my new company havent pay me yet n i work there 1 mth liao! wat e fish
Free Chicken Rice
Yesterday forced ppl to treat me dinner. Today i had a free dinner again :P
Thanks to Sleepy, i managed to register my ezcard to accumulate points. Since it is based on usage of NEL & SBS transit, i benefit alot ;) Actually accumulated quite a number of points only that last quarter most of the better offers were already fully taken up. Hence waited for 1 oct and well smart me lei! the new offers came out. After counting the TB and BD, find that a redemption of chicken rice is quite a deal hence that is how i ended with free chicken rice at PS. So near workplace and anyway got to take train home mah ;)

The Invasion
It started yesterday on my way to exam. Suddenly i think that man will be back. he has not been contacting me since the day i asked for payment. So i sent an sms to him- whr he is. this feeling of him coming back n perhap to force settlement was so close as real.
Last nite at about 10pm(?) He came back.
This time extremely unfriendly n even violent.
Not yet on me (which is not something new if he can rem). But trying to slam everything he can find.
Dun understand why he think i will behave the way he wanna. Funni. If we can do that, guess that wont make us walk to the divorce light. If so, there wont be another sweet one outside isn't it?
This mornin the storm was v intimidating. Lucky, it was really real luck or pure coincident that i have a movie date so i left real early. Many knew i wont really ask to watch movie.......this round nicole kidman caught my eye n i dated my friend to watch. Booked ticket in advance somemore! so UNme.
So will the motive real as wat came to my mind?
If so, i have to fight hard. It hurting but i need to fight for own survival. That sum tat was promised to discard me he has to honour it before i give up. Do be assure i already let go only giving up is real hard unless suddenly get real decent accomodation.
Tire of fighting but life has structured itself such that.......
"The Invasion"
The mysterious crash of a space shuttle leads to a terrifying discovery - a growing epidemic. Victims suffer attack while they sleep, leaving them physically unchanged, but strangely unfeeling and inhuman.
That two parts which leave me alot of thinking.
(1) Some diplomat remark about human, chaos n human. Human r still animal?!?
(2) When Ken or Ben (sorry bad in remembering cast role name) finally went to meet up with Carol (Kidman), Carol broke down, cried and hugged him very very tightly, as if he is the pillar. However at that point this guy already got infected. He tried to psycho Carol to give up rebelling n 'join' them. She almost give in until being told that her son will not be allow to exist as he failed to blend into the system.
Human r still human, there are emotions and care and love.
But being human as human, there are inhuman side of them.
Nevetherless, perhap if i can infected by this virus will be quite good ;)
if i still wan to breathe, need to put on that brave front n retailate back. Protect ownself, get back human right. Mangojo is a human. Stop abusing like tat

New aim has arrived
Time really can heal wound? i think not really. But it makes a person more sober n less emotional.
When emotional detached over time, the impact is not as bad as it first collided into my life.
Wasted 10 yrs of my life n i get nothing out of it.
Coping well n found back old love. Oops not a person. It's a dream. N that dream i will work toward it. Dream is own, nobody can deprive me of it. I wont be felt cheated. Human r devilish at heart generally. It the dream in own heart that will never betray oneself.

Pardon me, it's doing a cse with a bad bad mood!
I still believe in lifelong upgrading.
I still look forward to getting this Post Grad Dip.
Yes, i bitch about the hardships.
Now i bitch abotu the ppl encountered.
I think hardship like trying to get assignment done, study for exams still are quite managable. But i hate on ppl r'ship. Cos i dun pay to get such shit from ppl mah!!!
let see wat further development. I din really wan to show my true colour. But if need be i think she will regret.
In addition, lecturer like dun like me. But it not new rite? ppl dun really like me initially. But when they start talkin to me then they realise i m normal.
Work hard hard hard
Need to stay alive releveantly.
Dun push ur luck too far
i m super irritated by this woman
Not that i always unhappy with things. But......
Always talk abt her family matters. Wat she say, wat her son say, wat her mother say, wat her colelagues say.
When lecture time, either she still rattle on or she be super KS. Lecturer jus said 'turn to page xx', she will like a pig, repeat n ask 'wat page har'. then lecturer said sth n i jot it down,she will always peep. N sometimes even QUESTION wat i m writing. Believe me it is really QUESTION.
She likes to command ppl to do things also.
N now project got stuck to do with her.
Dread it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the blessings
Today i went to the driving centre with a heavy heart. Been out of action for 10mths n finally made myself go n try again.
Guess ppl will know why i out of action so long. the day he came with that forceful 'offer' i was devastated. Din want to touch driving cos i know i cant concentrate n it is bad for me, instructor n the road users. Also the minor operation i had caused me tooo much pain n my shoulders were really painful n soar for like 3-4mths.
Due to the changing weather, i been checking out for today's weather. It was no good. Supposed to have thunderstorm.
So heart was heavy. Already no confident n with storm it will really add pressure for me.
Sent sms to friends jus before i walked into the circuit. Got good encouragement. Thanks, friends.
The instructor i paid extra to book is really a nice uncle. U know my anxiety kind of wipe out half when he assured me no prob. I told him that watever difficulty through his mouth become soooooo easy :P :)
N it did not rain n not over bright too (din have sunglasses anymore. The sky kind of 'hold' the clouds. It only pour (abit) after my lesson. I felt being blessed to let me continue to find courage and make it so much smoother for me to get back my engine. Thank you really really soo much!
Now i have a prob.. a persistence one. Still cannot get parrallel n vertical parking rite. When i do this, i forget that. Just emailed Florence. Hope she kind to write sth.

National Day Rally
It is of every Singaporean interest to get ourselves updated through watching the Rally. However do not understand why all channels MUST feature it.
They can exclude entertaining channels like Channel U & Chanel 5 mah.
So many details given. Of cos there were light moments with some more sensitive policies like up CPF drawn out date.
Work work work, slog slog slog until ur last breath!
I already forsee my prob. No own family, no own house, not enough insurance coverage, no good academics results, no good job (prospect and monetary), no brain!
how?
No pessimistic. It is all REAL

When out with friends, i hope to be back at home doing some readings or study.
Today there is no plan for anything (Still cannot combat fear of going back to driving and also the weather given me a not bad excuse to avoid it). Hence it is a at home whole day schedule.
Well, now hoping to be out playing.. but i know i wont really will enjoy

Sat-18 Aug
Morning - wee hours
Had bad dream. Dreamt that i woke up at 9am whr exam is at 10am!! Can even recall how panicky i was n tried to outbeat time to get myself to the exam venue! Jus when i was abt to give up, i woke up! whew.. it was 6.20am. Laze till 7am n finally got myself up. Reached school at 9.20am.
Exam was not v good. The questions i should admit are meant to rack ur brain, unlike the previous one. It now depend how persuasive my writings n arguments are. I thought the lecturer was kind to be there throughout the exam. Din see the first one did that. But as nobody thanked or greet him i dare not appracoh. dun wan ppl to throw tomatoes at me.
Had foot bath and reflexology at chinatown. Was more fancinated by the footbath actually. To me foot reflex is really luxourious n would prefer body massage than that. Costs me $50 (GOSH). Still think the Batam n Bangkok ones are better.
Then Olivia n me went to meet up with Zess for show. I like her sms last night, sth like ' ... for movie.. must go hor' cos she knew i HARDLY watch movie. "Bourne Ultimatum" very action pack (fei hua) but storyline is really stale.
Came back earlier as do not want to come back to this 'not big but very empty house' late. At the train, this 'soya sauce' couple treated the pole like coconut tree. Both holding on to the pole, standing behind n caressing each other.. haaaaaa
Somebody sms to tell me that he has a blog n his children were so amused. Me too!

真情流露
just when i need sth to point out some unreasonable annual recurring incident, this one comes in handy. (also pondering y this was sent to me)
Some people suffer maybe 1-2 in life, whic to many e downturn was not so bad afterall. But because they think their sufffering is most unbearing, the whole world has to be with them. Then when situation turn n they become blessed again, they forgot they did suffer before. So when they are blessed they also expect the whole world to evolve around their WANTs.
Wat u did to help them during their downturn is now nothing. Because when u fail to meet their want, u r 'lousy'.
患難見真情的朋友，是所有人試目以待的．

HR Saga
First time such thing happen.
It is not new to me to study a part time course. But nothing dramatic like this happen.
Students protest not to have 2 assignments.
Then principal came for a feedback session.
Then the only man in the class wrote an email that stipulate sexual discrimination.
In the first place, do not understand how he interprete that teaching a class makeup mainly of women can be challenging.
His email tried to put very nice words for the lecturer, put the women down n said he himself done what was needed.
That was still fine. For that discrimination, i would only view that this man is shallow.
Yesterday he wrote another email quite unexpectedly. He cited he agreed with 'all' that the lecture is bad. Thunderous i tell u! Do not think 'all' said that. Anyway even ppl like me who voice out some feedback did not say lecture is bad. The truth casted is that he has yet to do the assignment n he does not know how.
Which contrast significantly from his first email.
I am not here to gossip about him.
But think the act is really selfish. If he is unhappy, voice as he is. Dun drag all in.
So many saga for a course. Group internal conflict also email to whole class.
Make me feel rather disinterested. If again, such email war out, m going to tell him off. Dun send junk mail over.
Anyway, jus to share some background about the complains from the class.
Some do not want 2 assginments cos no time as it is intensive course.
I do not go against 2 assignments as if it is requirement, jolly well get my ass on it. But feedback as extracted below:
"This is not the first time i take up a part time course. Having deal with a few Not-for-Profit and even Non Profit institutions, i would say this round, some things came quite a shock to me.
Notes - it is really quite distasteful to not have notes printed for us for the lesson on time. Regardless of where the fault lie, this should not happen again. In anyway, decent things meant for a class/lesson are (1) Classroom, (2) Visual aids like projector, (3) Lecture Notes, (4) Lecturer with good knowledge and vast applicable experiences to share. Surely this is not too much an expectation?!?
Reading Materials - Our TIGHT schedule is not a secret. We attend lessons on Fri nite, Sat & Sun full day. If lecturer require us to have some material notes to read esp meant for exam purpose, it is reasonable to provide instead of having us searching around for the textbook. Sad to say we do not really have that luxury of time. Wonder if institution brief lecturers on such constraint during engagement? It is important for them to understand as Intensive Course may be quite a new concept to most.
Arrangement during Sundays - It is rather unfair to the lecturer to look after the classroom when we need go for lunch. I rem last Sunday Mr PBS has to skip his lunch as he cannot find the caretaker to lock up the classroom. Mr Adrain Wong had his fair share also. Coordination needs to be tightened.
Understand this is the first Intensive intake hence likely to have many things not well thought of. But really hope the future arrangements will improve significantly. We have 3 more modules to go...."

Notes - it is really quite distasteful to not have notes printed for us for the lesson on time. Regardless of where the fault lie, this should not happen again. In anyway, decent things meant for a class/lesson are (1) Classroom, (2) Visual aids like projector, (3) Lecture Notes, (4) Lecturer with good knowledge and vast applicable experiences to share. Surely this is not too much an expectation?!?
Reading Materials - Our TIGHT schedule is not a secret. We attend lessons on Fri nite, Sat & Sun full day. If lecturer require us to have some material notes to read esp meant for exam purpose, it is reasonable to provide instead of having us searching around for the textbook. Sad to say we do not really have that luxury of time. Wonder if institution brief lecturers on such constraint during engagement? It is important for them to understand as Intensive Course may be quite a new concept to most.
Arrangement during Sundays - It is rather unfair to the lecturer to look after the classroom when we need go for lunch. I rem last Sunday Mr PBS has to skip his lunch as he cannot find the caretaker to lock up the classroom. Mr Adrain Wong had his fair share also. Coordination needs to be tightened.
Understand this is the first Intensive intake hence likely to have many things not well thought of. But really hope the future arrangements will improve significantly. We have 3 more modules to go...."

Lose control is sth v scarey
Here or there i jus cant shake off e hurt
But also know that hurt only work on self if i wan it to overrule.
Y did i ever let other ppl to ruin my life once and again?
Crappy tat make me wan to eat crab

No mood
Too many other things to ponder about
Too many other things to get nervous over
Dun fail me

Lost- suddenly lazy
I been a lazy person for life.
Past few yrs work kept me busy n not a time for breathing.
Now suddenly i sinked into state of laziness again
wan to do alot of things but end up doing nothing
Looking back, it is really scarey to work like mad
no more courage for such workload n maddness

How?
Like wan me go drink with them...
when i say old it is really OLD.
I dun discriminate friend of any age. But the intention is questionable.
Dun ask me who n start ur nonsense guessing cos most dun know this person.
Yesterday somebody asked me how that 'bro' i called so dear.
Very sad to say he did not respect me
Having divorce does not mean i m a desperate one
Disgusting.

Looking back
Race through some of my past blogs.
Cos got a new reader (heehee). Somehow make me want to reread my blog.
That period was pain full of pain & hurt. Tears every minute
Now m i better? i dun think so. Until e day i dare to pick up karaoke singing again. Cos some songs can trigger tear gland again.
But guess coping better. More control.
Thanks to friends who show concern. They are also helpless on how to help me. But by those messages and concerns, really good enough to make me stronger
Thanks to some books offered by Mr Edward Chye. Pain to read what authors said, realise what mistakes in the marriage. But it calm me down somehow
Thanks to my past which was no better ... dad passed away, i carried the responsibiltiy of providing for family, doing my studies & work, challenges at work, 1st boyfriend slept with other woman etc, so not tat really bad.
Some ppl commented my life is a sad story. Sometimes i do think so. But dun like to keep self pity.
Have pick up some courage (though sometimes procastinate again) to move on life.
But if time turn back, 那个人还会是你！
Now? no, i refrain from emotional attach.

一生一次和火星亲密接触
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
古今中外和外星人有关的科幻小说和电影，十之八九有一个共同点：外星人都来自火星（Mars)，而且，大概不会是善类。
这样的推理能不能成立，地球人的天文研究还没有达到能下判断的时候，可这种“传言”实际上延伸出一个问题：地球人对于火星，是既熟悉又陌生，好像找到一些答案，却又产生更多疑问。
火星是地球人耗资最多进行探索的行星，因为地球和火星有一些相似的地方，让地球人一直认为火星上应该也有生命，只是这些年来探索得到的结果，却把应该渐渐熟悉的阶段推向更大的陌生领域，火星至今还是地球人无法完全了解的“近邻”。
在太阳系（Solar System）九颗行星当中，火星排行第四，和“老三”地球的距离第二近（离地球最近的行星是金星（Venus））。火星离地球到底有多近呢？天文学家提供的数据是：不固定，可以长达1亿138公里，也可以短至5500万公里。
8月27日晚上8点（新加坡时间），火星将运行到6万年来距离地球最近的位置。到时候，火星和地球的距离约为5576万公里，大概是太阳和地球距离的三分之一，火星亮度（magnitude）将达到负三等，是一个非常罕见的天文奇观。
天文学家把这种天文奇观称为“火星大冲”（Mars Opposition），而这样的“火星大冲”在公元前5万5534年前发生过一次，而下一次要再看到，就要等到2287年8月28日了。
2287年距离现在是284年，这一代的地球人何其幸运，有机会把火星看得最清楚，对于火星，也会有更大的遐想。
今天，在地球人等待和火星进行最“亲密的接触”的当儿，让我们先来了解，这颗和我们关系密切的行星。
1. 火星名字的由来
古罗马帝国（公元前27年至公元476年）人因为火星既亮又红，令人想起血和战争，因此把它命名为战神马尔斯（Mars）。至今，我们仍沿用这个名字。实际上，在古代，不同民族的人都给予火星不同的名字：巴比伦人称它为死神（内尔加尔），希腊人则为它取名为战神（阿瑞斯）。可不管人类为火星取一个怎么样的名字，它都让人类想起战争和混乱。
2. 地球和火星相似的地方
－地球和火星都属于类地行星（terrestrial planets）。
（类地行星的家族还有水星(Mercury)和金星(Venus)。类地行星的特点是，由较重元素的固体组成，通常体积较小。木星(Jupiter)、土星(Saturn)、天王星 (Uranus)和海王星 (Neptune)，则全都是由气体，主要是氢（Hydrogen)和氦(helium)等构成的巨大类木行星 (jovian planets)）。
－地球和火星一样有四季，不过火星每一季的长度是地球的两倍。
－火星的一日是24小时又41分钟，和地球的24小时非常接近。
－火星可能和地球一样，也有水。这也是地球人从70年代开始就一直致力探索火星的最重要原因。如果火星真有水，它很可能就会成为适合人类居住的。
3. 地球人对火星进行探索
早在1960年，地球人就开始对火星进行探索，然而，不管是由前苏联还是美国派出太空船，都以失败收场。
比较成功的一次任务是在1965年7月，美国水手四号成功地完成火星近天体探测飞行，传送第一批详细的火星照片。
真正让地球人感到兴奋的，则是美国维京号在1976年时传回来的照片，照片显示火星上的奥林巴斯山西北面的悬崖好像被水侵蚀而成。
可是，因为经费问题，至维京号在1976年传回照片之后，地球人再也没有进行任何火星有关的太空任务，一直到1988年和1992年，前苏联及美国再派出太空船执行火星任务，可是，太空船最后都在漫漫太空里失踪了。
这个火星是否有海水的迷，一直要到1999年美国派出的环球探索者号所拍回的照片才得到解答，近距离拍摄到的非常清晰的照片显示，悬崖显然不是由海水侵蚀而成的，令火星曾有海洋的说法出现动摇。
然而，环球探索者号在2000年6月拍到的一些高解象度的照片，却带来了一些发现。根据这些照片，科学家可以清楚看到水沟、水道和三角洲，相信是由高速水流造成的，虽然不太清楚是何时造成的，但“火星上有水”的说法，又再出现实证说明。根据科学家的研究，火星的水应该是被封在两极或藏在地底，这一次的发现，也大大地提高了火星曾经有生物存在的可能性。
事实上，地球人在很早就对火星上是否有生物产生很大的好奇：10万年前，有一颗来自火星的岩石坠落在地球北极。人们在陨石里发现了，可能是生命所留下的痕迹化石，这化石是30亿年前在火星上形成的，这是不是表示，火星在很久很久以前，有生命存在？
从2001年到未来，地球人已经为火星任务提出具体目标，对火星进行表面土地的分析及地表探测，可以的话，也希望能够收集火星的岩石标本，带回地球进行研究。
4. 要怎么样才可以看到火星？
科学馆副馆长张锦球说：“用肉眼来看，其实火星在8月27日前后的大小都差不多。除了月亮外，火星不是天空中最大的星星。但它会比一般的星星显得更红。”
这里告诉大家看火星的几个步骤：
·先找一个在东南（southeast）方向没有被高楼遮挡的地方，这个地方最好也没有耀眼的街灯。
·在晚上9点之后可以开始观察了，第一个小时内由于火星刚刚从地平线“升起”，寻找时可能有一点难度，可之后情况就“明朗”多了，你会发现有一颗不会眨眼的“星星”，看起来又比一般的星星大，又呈橙黄色，那就是火星了。
有兴趣的朋友，也可以在本月30日晚上7点30分至12点，参加科学馆所举行的火星派对，通过望远镜来观赏这个数万年罕见的天文奇观。
Amateur Status Advantage
Professionals observed big things far away and published in the prestigious Astrophysical Journal—which, as if to rub it in, ranked papers by the distances of their subjects, with galaxies at the front of each issue, stars in the middle, and planets, on the rare occasion that they appeared in the Journal at all, relegated to the rear. Amateurs showed schoolchildren the rings of Saturn at 76 power through a tripod-mounted spyglass at the State Fair. Inevitably, a few professionals disdained the amateurs. When Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto, the astronomer Joel Stebbins, usually a more charitable man, dismissed him as “a sub-amateur assistant.” There are of course professionals who kept up good relationships with amateurs, and amateurs who did solid work without fretting over their status. But generally speaking, the amateurs lived in the valley of the shadow of the mountaintops. Which was odd, in a way, because for most of its long history, astronomy has been primarily an amateur pursuit.
Nicolaus Copernicus, who in 1543 moved the Earth from the center of the universe and put the Sun there instead (thus replacing a dead-end mistake with an open-ended mistake, one that encouraged the raising of new questions), was a Renaissance man, adept at many things, but only a sometime astronomer. Johannes Kepler, who discovered that planets orbit in ellipses rather than circles, made a living mainly by casting horoscopes, teaching grade school, and scrounging royal commissions to support the publication of his books. Edmond Halley, after whom the comet is named, was an amateur whose accomplishments—among them a year spent observing from St. Helena, a South Atlantic island so remote that Napoleon Bonaparte was sent there to serve out his second and terminal exile—got him named Astronomer Royal.
Even in the twentieth century, while they were being eclipsed by the burgeoning professional class, amateurs continued to make valuable contributions to astronomical research. Arthur Stanley Williams, a lawyer, charted the differential rotation of Jupiter’s clouds and created the system of Jovian nomenclature used in Jupiter studies ever since. Milton Humason, a former watermelon farmer who worked as a muleteer at Mount Wilson, teamed up with the astronomer Edwin Hubble to chart the size and expansion rate of the universe. The solar research conducted by the industrial engineer Robert McMath, at an observatory he built in the rear garden of his home in Detroit, so impressed astronomers that he was named to the National Academy of Sciences, served as president of the American Astronomical Society, a professional organization, and helped plan Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, where the world’s largest solar telescope was named in his honor. (From: The Best American Science & Nature Writings)
Amateurs have, for millennia, led the way to exploring the heavens, and despite a disadvantage in the size, technology and positioning of telescopic equipment, continued to compete well with professionals throughout the 20th century. How were they able to compete? Because astronomy is all about curiosity, diligence, and patience—the attributes of successful investors and business analysts.
The amateur investor has every right to believe he or she can compete toe to toe with professional money managers. From my humble office overlooking the Singapore River, with only an Internet connection and a bookstore discount card I have been able to achieve 40% annual total returns over the last several years, soundly outperforming AsiaPacific fund managers with teams of analysts, billions of dollars worth of influence, board seats, Bloomberg screens, and company Mercedes. Well, I wouldn’t mind the company Mercedes, but all the other bells and whistles have not added to fund investor’s fortunes. In fact, it certainly costs them dearly.
The heavens don’t change very quickly, and neither do businesses. An amateur astronomer and an amateur investor have this distinct advantage of slow paced phenomena to observe. Up-to-the-second news flashes and streaming stock prices don’t help improve portfolio returns any more than up-to-the-minute star charts would help astronomers. Amateur astronomer Stephen James O’Meara, son of a Cambridge, Massachusetts lobster fisherman, while still a teenager, saw and mapped radial “spokes” on Saturn’s rings that professional astronomers dismissed as illusory—until Voyager reached Saturn and confirmed that the spokes were real. He determined the rotation rate of the planet Uranus, obtaining a value wildly at variance with those produced by professionals with larger telescopes and sophisticated detectors, and proved to be right about that too. He was the first human to see Haley’s comet on its 1985 return, a feat he accomplished using a 24-inch telescope at an altitude of 14,000 feet while breathing bottled oxygen. Fortunately for the amateur investor, no modern tools of stock analysis have proven more valuable than good judgment and business sense (common sense).
The 3 May 2004 Straits Times Money writer, Lee Su Shyan says, "Few retail investors have the time and resources to conduct the kind of in-depth research that a professional fund manager can accomplish, so retail investors often don't know what questions they need to ask." I think the real reason few fund managers attend AGMs is because few fund managers really care about the business and management, as their turnover ratios clearly show. If you don't own a business long enough to collect dividends, why would you care about dividend policies? If you don't own a business long enough for a strategy to unfold, why would you care about the long-term business outlook? If you can buy IPO placement shares and dump them a day later, how important is the AGM? How many funds owned Informatics and failed to ask management the right questions?
One or two in ten fund managers outperform relevant indexes over the years, so why are they held up as geniuses with all the 'intelligent questions'? I don't know how many fund managers Lee Su Shyan knows, or how many AGM were personally attended to write such an article? I attended eight AGM during April for businesses held by our WS8 Portfolio at WallStraits, and in general I would say retail investors are long-term focused, and informed enough to ask probing, relevant, and 'intelligent' questions of their management. There are the occasional 'share price' questions and the occasional nonsense questions, but these are the exception, not the rule.
Big professionally managed funds, despite their sophistication, suffer under the weight of billion dollar portfolios, while amateurs can nimbly accumulate small stakes in a handful of enticing micro-cap businesses not even on the fund radar screen. Just like the Cold .45 was an equalizer in the Wild West, the Internet is the equalizer for small investors, placing an incredible amount of business and industry information at your fingertips. Interpretation, not information, is the limiting factor for investors today. Businesses evolve quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. Long-term trends in sales, earnings and intelligent capital allocation that indicate strong shareholder-orientation is what slow-motion observers search for. And better than amateur astronomy, amateur investing pays well!
Anyone who wants to be a truly great observer should start with the planets, because that is where you learn patience. It’s amazing what you can learn to see, given enough time. That’s the most important and critical factor in observing—time, time, time—though you never see it in an equation.
-- Stephen James O'Meara

The solar research conducted by the industrial engineer Robert McMath, at an observatory he built in the rear garden of his home in Detroit, so impressed astronomers that he was named to the National Academy of Sciences, served as president of the American Astronomical Society, a professional organization, and helped plan Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, where the world’s largest solar telescope was named in his honor. (From: The Best American Science & Nature Writings)
Amateurs have, for millennia, led the way to exploring the heavens, and despite a disadvantage in the size, technology and positioning of telescopic equipment, continued to compete well with professionals throughout the 20th century. How were they able to compete? Because astronomy is all about curiosity, diligence, and patience—the attributes of successful investors and business analysts.
The amateur investor has every right to believe he or she can compete toe to toe with professional money managers. From my humble office overlooking the Singapore River, with only an Internet connection and a bookstore discount card I have been able to achieve 40% annual total returns over the last several years, soundly outperforming AsiaPacific fund managers with teams of analysts, billions of dollars worth of influence, board seats, Bloomberg screens, and company Mercedes. Well, I wouldn’t mind the company Mercedes, but all the other bells and whistles have not added to fund investor’s fortunes. In fact, it certainly costs them dearly.
The heavens don’t change very quickly, and neither do businesses. An amateur astronomer and an amateur investor have this distinct advantage of slow paced phenomena to observe. Up-to-the-second news flashes and streaming stock prices don’t help improve portfolio returns any more than up-to-the-minute star charts would help astronomers. Amateur astronomer Stephen James O’Meara, son of a Cambridge, Massachusetts lobster fisherman, while still a teenager, saw and mapped radial “spokes” on Saturn’s rings that professional astronomers dismissed as illusory—until Voyager reached Saturn and confirmed that the spokes were real. He determined the rotation rate of the planet Uranus, obtaining a value wildly at variance with those produced by professionals with larger telescopes and sophisticated detectors, and proved to be right about that too. He was the first human to see Haley’s comet on its 1985 return, a feat he accomplished using a 24-inch telescope at an altitude of 14,000 feet while breathing bottled oxygen. Fortunately for the amateur investor, no modern tools of stock analysis have proven more valuable than good judgment and business sense (common sense).
The 3 May 2004 Straits Times Money writer, Lee Su Shyan says, "Few retail investors have the time and resources to conduct the kind of in-depth research that a professional fund manager can accomplish, so retail investors often don't know what questions they need to ask." I think the real reason few fund managers attend AGMs is because few fund managers really care about the business and management, as their turnover ratios clearly show. If you don't own a business long enough to collect dividends, why would you care about dividend policies? If you don't own a business long enough for a strategy to unfold, why would you care about the long-term business outlook? If you can buy IPO placement shares and dump them a day later, how important is the AGM? How many funds owned Informatics and failed to ask management the right questions?
One or two in ten fund managers outperform relevant indexes over the years, so why are they held up as geniuses with all the 'intelligent questions'? I don't know how many fund managers Lee Su Shyan knows, or how many AGM were personally attended to write such an article? I attended eight AGM during April for businesses held by our WS8 Portfolio at WallStraits, and in general I would say retail investors are long-term focused, and informed enough to ask probing, relevant, and 'intelligent' questions of their management. There are the occasional 'share price' questions and the occasional nonsense questions, but these are the exception, not the rule.
Big professionally managed funds, despite their sophistication, suffer under the weight of billion dollar portfolios, while amateurs can nimbly accumulate small stakes in a handful of enticing micro-cap businesses not even on the fund radar screen. Just like the Cold .45 was an equalizer in the Wild West, the Internet is the equalizer for small investors, placing an incredible amount of business and industry information at your fingertips. Interpretation, not information, is the limiting factor for investors today. Businesses evolve quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. Long-term trends in sales, earnings and intelligent capital allocation that indicate strong shareholder-orientation is what slow-motion observers search for. And better than amateur astronomy, amateur investing pays well!
Anyone who wants to be a truly great observer should start with the planets, because that is where you learn patience. It’s amazing what you can learn to see, given enough time. That’s the most important and critical factor in observing—time, time, time—though you never see it in an equation.
-- Stephen James O'Meara

a $95 printer
Been wanting to buy a printer since the day i think i will tender resignation.
So set a painful budget of $200.
Then surfed net overnite and Canon caught my eyes as it is have its 70 yr anniversary. So saw a bubblejet printer at $179...then $149...
Wen to Vivocity yesterday to meet a GRL for lunch (so as to get my butt out of hse). After that stroll ard. Did not really bother with clothes etc. Been doing that before GSS so now loss interest. Anyway normal times discount is 20% n GSS still go abt 20%, nothing thrill. At Canon showroom saw ip1880.. $109. So much slimmer also.
But still unsure becos it stated photo printer... will it not able to print colour doc??????
So many questions in mind.
Today went to Sim Lim with a friend. Wow, $95 only! and can still go and redeem a mouse at Funan.
Ok, i bought Sony Vaio also. Not rich lah, if rich i go for fujisu. E 1 in my office is so slim and light. But it costs at least $3k!!!! Got VGN C25G - Black. Cos the other colour look like cartoon... pink, green... even the baby blue cannot raise appetite.
Y did i buy? cos once i out of job would still need a machine to work on. Have ibook but many things cannot download or upload. Imagine i just want to apply passport online it said cannot. I wan to go to Sony website it said cannot.. n many more application prob. REN WU KE REN so die die no $ also get to buy one...
Now i have prob. cannot interchange to key in chinese words. GOSH. HOpe can be solved...

Jealous!
how come no one talk to me and ask me to take on SCM post last time! :(
How come now i wan to leave nobody bother to give me encouragement esp on my studies?????
everytime liek that one. Ppl assume i can do it or i will manage.
But i still woman mah, somemore old liao.. need encouragement.
UNFAIR UNFAIR UNFAIR
Calling to give up? Never had so i created
In the bus suddenly i wonder how come this time i jus give up the job like that!!!!
In the past i kept say want to quit but did not. Even now ppl dun really believe me.
But i really going to quit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Suddenly feel cannot bear to leave cos i enjoy the mega events. Many eyes looking at how i solve problems on the spot.
Suddenly felt that somebody GOD is trying to make me pave way for him to get up there. But i suddenly dun feel angry.
Instead off the bus i told Wilson that his GOD is arranging it so that he can take on. So he CANNOT REJECT w/o trying
To try and die is ok. No try yet die is a NO NO.
Never take up how to know if can handle? If tried and cannot handle n fail then jus leave.
I left him with these words
Those words are for myself also. Suddenly i dun wan to u turn and remain in that big cosy room. An office room i called it MINE. I may not have anymore such oppt in my life anymore to enjoy e priviledge. Will i regret? I will i think. But i dun wan to think so much already. Jus feel like want to take the course, even go down to executive.. will be hard but after so many years being suppressed. Live for other. I wan to do sth silly but been hoping...
Will have prob with my course cos need project group n i know ppl wont liek me the first tiem they see me. So i may end up with no group. Tat deters me. Worry me. But i dun wan to give up.
A friend commented i am a 'good boss'. He said he never have. I told him i DIN have also. So when i got the oppt to be a boss, i created that. Ok, some will still think i am not good. But i done my best to protect staff. Think have done most. Other gaps is cos mgmt style still not established.
today a day full of hope n alot of uncertainties

Not sleeping Sleep
This week on leave intermittentlly
Today suppose go office but since the dialogue is cancelled. I happily stay home abit more.
Tried to read on a book.
Funny, how come i feel so much inertia to read this book as compared the past two? it is about being successful.
Just before coming back to laptop, tried to grap a nap.
But the 30min was waste of time. Every time i was abt to fall asleep, sth jus make me jump. really, the heartbeat jus pull me back to conscious again. Angry
Jus hoping to zzz abit, abit is really satisfying, pls

Human likes to be a fool
I know wat lies today for me.
The press & TV media wont be coming and even if come does not mean they will cover it. And even print media is here, there is not TV media n hence i will be doomed.
A small scale exercise and they think that all the media will come and cover.
E story itself is not really captive.
E scale also.
But O.C thoght he is doing the Project of the Year in this country.
Fainting.
I will be e scapegoat already
Tire of that. Jus keep stirring among the fools

So need protection
Want to travel alone. But still lack the courage.
Sux, whenever i hear friends esp woman, going alone. I feel so useless!
Confess, i hardly a team person. Hate to rush and to accomodate irritating ppl. So going with others can be challenged. Especially my inspiration to travel is so ahoc. The Bangkok trip was a classic one. Left within 2 hours.说走就走
Ytd had dinner with friends. Quite happy. Relaxing Sat nite. One of the topics was travelling. But somehow i still 'hate' Australia. Haaaaaaa ..... cos my anger will grow again whenever i hear that country. Not the country fault ok! it is becos i will recall my 1st BF, who betrayed me while he studied there. N the betrayal leads to my subsequent abnormalities in love life.
Damn, sway away from this talk... hmm wat i should then write? Ok, ytd nite, i took stocktake on my face paper masks, scrub and make up. So many things i need to buy:
face paper masks - skinfood as so much cheaper
face scrub - should i stick to Shiseido's warm scrub???
compact powder - shiseido? lancome? chanel? fancl? headache
Body Scrub - coffee bean scrub from skinfood? but WP & PS said expensive
Blusher - suspect the blusher is contaminated that y my face got breakout! :P
Vitamin E Body Lotion - Existing 3/4 left bottle from Body Shop is not really effective. Nothing special effect.
Makeup Base - to continue with fancl? it is so much cheaper...
Eye Concealer - need a stronger one.. cos this one from lancome already not effective. My dark circle condition worsen. From 1 layer to 6 layers also cannot cover!
and so much more................
MONEY NO ENOUGH
