   Nikon power!!
   Thursday, December 30, 2004, 10:54 PM

Heartybread's MP3 Player's battery compartment's cover slides in and out perfectly fine at the last moment yesterday! So we didn't complain to the HQ and headed off to enjoy our day.

Despite it's opening date, Meet The Fockers was screened at Jurong Point. I love the movie! What a sequel to Meet The Parents man! I rate it 9/10, catch it if you want to.

Was looking for the last few things in our 'wants' list. Funny that they are always the harder to find. She finally found her blusher after we searched through a gazillion stores. And i... Got myself a digicam!!! Harvey Norman's greatest bargain buy. It's Nikon CoolPix 3700, 3.2MPx, 256MB, 3x Optical Zoom, 1.0/1.5x Digital Zoom (forgot). I wanted an elegant, sexy one; but with my available budget and some compromise to the last-minute infatuation, i got myself the handsome item. It's original price was S$599 but i got it for S$399. It's an award-winning camera for something; most value-for-money, in my opinion.



Long lost pal PengKiat finally has a girl and i never thought i'd say this... I'm happy for him! All the best man!

Happy Birthday, otherside-mum :)



   Moolahs depleting.

Went to the Creative Warehouse yesterday, where they're having their insane sale. Sugarbebeh got herself a cute MP3 Player while i whined after the very good yet cheap camera they advertised on their website got sold out.

Had a dinner feast at Seoul Garden where we bumped into 'An junior (the one who rapped with Azhari) and Sugarbebeh's aunt. Learnt more things about her ;)
Ended the day by trying out her MP3 Player. The battery compartment's cover was a bitch to take off most of the times. Got a painful blister on my right thumb and nearly got another on my left. If she can't manage to deal with it properly, we're heading down to the Creative Warehouse again to complain.

I wanted to go to Woodlands Central to get some boxers for myself but my energy seemed to have drained off.

Edited I topped up my music collection into my hard drive. Finally got all my favourite songs back! Many songs i loved so much, i realized i forgot! Make it work, gigas~

[Some Tag Replies]
[Shidd] Liar. Anyway i'm approaching closer to being broke :P
[Faezah] Hey, it was you who led the topic elsewhere.... Hahahaha.
[Adilah] Okay... Well... How's your blog's repairs doing?
[Mas] Hahah! Unlucky... Some of them stink bad too.
[Odd] Yea, he is. Woooots.



   Shop till you drop.

I really wanted to blog on Christmas Eve, but was too shagged. Really wanted to blog on Boxing Day too, but ManUtd was on and i got shagged after watching.

Were any of you at town on Christmas Eve after 7pm? It's fuckin' packed, worse than Geylang! Seriously. It kinda sucked. Mindless people taking pictures everywhere too, eventhough the crowd blindly blocks them while passing by.

Alai and i took our opportunities to take advantage of the crazy Christmas cum Annual Sale. Shopped a LOT. I better get Sponsorship for Year 2, man.

We saw JieSen a.k.a Jason of ex-Motorola! He works at TopShop now. His hair's longer. He stopped work to actually strangle me to say he misses me. He showed lots of emotions, actually. And he was excited about me and my darla. Damn, he's a good friend. Good luck in your Naval Diving man!

Went out yesterday too, to shop with her again. The day went smooth. Nearly bought a Sony digicam after sinking into deep infatuation with it and it's price. I embraced her advice though and felt lucky i didn't splash out my moolahs for it.

My dad's gonna get a PS2 with part of his upcoming bonus money after experiencing it for himself at my aunt's place. I didn't think Crash Bandicoot could be THAT fun! And somehow i prefer the 2D GTA but Vice City's gonna be fun after some time.

I upgraded my computer to a whuppin' 170GB! It costed me quite a bomb but hell, my dad won't whine anymore about what i stuff in the system anymore! Wooh! And my sisters can download any crap they want without me worrying about the drive spaces! And just imagine how Boom-Boxed my computer will be!



   Last day.
   Wednesday, December 22, 2004, 10:43 PM

Boohoo.
Didn't get to tell many people about my resignation. Thought i'll tell the guys at the last hour but i got too caught up with saving Royston's group's asses. You all owe Ester and i big time!

And so i thought okay, i'll tell them while lining up for the punching machine. But the punching machine was down, so there were little poeple left, waiting for the 3rd bus. I saw William and told him. He appeared shocked and sad. Fucking hell, i've never seen that look on his face before. "Why didn't you tell me?", oh hell i'm guilty. Aw forgot Tuesday night's my last, and she was asking me to spend my last night at work on Wednesday night (now). She thought i'll last till Friday and has forgotten to bring some goodbye chocolates for me and Sugar.

Ester, ShuHui, Fadhli and i suddenly got close at my latest stages there and it's a terrible, terrible time to leave... Ester was asking me not to leave. She told me not to make her beg. The last few hours of my presence at the workplace, she was begging... During the trip home, she kept asking if i'm staying.
Many colleagues told me stuff and showed 'emotions' which i wasn't expecting. They seem to mean so much more (no offence) than any testimonial and it just shows that JHT reveals your true self, to your ownself.

I feel like staying, but i know i have to let go. Apart from the bastards (who stole her eyes), it's a very nice place. There are many complains when i'm working but when i'm leaving, the gravity is applied back to work. But i know i'll be happier once i resign. I believe things are gonna get better for me. Least i can go hang out with her more.

Thank you, to those who rocked my working experience there: Her, Aw (loving leader), Fong An (my shifu), Arthur, Humphrey, Royston (Spanish Fly pervert), Kevin (small-sized innocent), Joe, Lokman (lazy ass trash-talker), Rafik, Fadhli, Ester, ShuHui, YiLong, MakJah (so motherly), Shiddih (bapok-loving hunk), Khairi, all the friendly MakCiks, Sandeep (you totally rock) and many others.
I just didn't think people would actually get sad when i go. 2+ weeks might be a short time, but 12 hours a day is like living with them.

Bought a rather big dinner as i promised. My sisters missed me.



   Hi-Tech, Bye-Tech.
   Monday, December 20, 2004, 9:20 AM

She's resigned from JHT and life there was so different without her. Thank God there's Fadhli. Hope she's doing good at school...
Her last day was emotional, especially for Aw. Sad stuff :(

Anyway i'm quitting on Tuesday. Gotta meet up Mike tomorrow morning at 8am to collect the remainder of my baby's moolahs. He was his usual low-tempered self when she called him about her early resignation but i'll be handling the shit.
On the other hand, i gotta go through the crap of meeting Mike again on Wednesday morning (last day) or so to collect my moolahs, so i won't be surprised if he crashes his Mercedes onto the covered walkway where i'll be standing at.

My brother wasn't selected right on the door of the factory. The HR lady must have had rough sex the previous night.
Many people quitted today, including Arthur who freakin took leave on his last day, whahaha. Hope to see you at NYP this April man.

I'm really sorry for Aw. She taught me Verification and many more just now. Seems like i'll be one of the stronger people there (i think, after some time), alongside Fong An; if i am to stay permanent.

Life's gotta go on, and i'm gonna be (temporarily) rich, biatch.



   Workers' cycle.
   Thursday, December 16, 2004, 4:24 PM

More and more Malays are flowing into the strength of the working populase of JHT. They're flushing off the Chinese to get more non-Chinese as Chinese New Year is coming up and they can't afford to lose production in February.
Wow, 3 Chineses in 1 sentence.

Humphrey's last day was yesterday! It's like, the workforce is changing drastically. Well anyway, Faezah, it's not terrible lah... The tasks are very pre-school (though you can't afford to make a mistake) but part-time working is allowed, so if you want to work for only a week, they don't give a rat's ass. December's coming to a close, so all the work-for-pocket-money people are increasingly poofing.

The 16-year old 'pretty girls' clan and several others collected their resignation letters yesterday, and i am gonna later. So soon, it seems. I want more money, but with more Malay guys who think they're boss and girls who aren't a tad bit attractive and whose eyebrows resemble The Rock's trademark on both sides, plus all the boredom without my one and only, it'll be so dull.

But like the mafia boss, William said... It's good to earn there. Work like a kid can, get a reasonable amount of money. So whoever wants to apply, apply!



   Programming.
   Tuesday, December 14, 2004, 4:28 PM

I moved to programming together with my baby. Finally got close to her at work. She's real competent in it, sometimes delaying breaks because of work. But i understand it's her passion to hit targets and i won't want to take it away from her.

I'm a bit of a consistent pro myself, but always 2nd to her lah; statistically or not.

Many newbies came in. Very ugly looking, fat minahs. Some were okay, like the kakak i coached for programming just now. She looks like Rashidah! Speaks like Rashidah, sounds like Rashidah, smiles like Rashidah, trembles in pressure like Rashidah, styles like Rashidah, etc. I know she wasn't Rashidah though. I asked her if she's got any relative by the name of Rashidah. She replied saying no... Just like Rashidah!

Humphrey's quitting in a day. JianHui's last day was yesterday. Lisa's asking for resignation letter later on, school's starting next week. There are loads more leaving. They need more malays. You want, you apply. I think it's a sure get if you know how to fill a simple form.

I wonder how i'll fair without her at work. Honestly i don't think i can cope. But i'll try, as i was initially planning to last till the 29th.



   Back to packing.
   Wednesday, December 08, 2004, 4:12 PM

I spent the whole of worktime doing packing yesterday. I guess that's what i do best, but Lokman and i still prefer programming because it's the only job which allows you to go, "Oh my God, i'm running out of time! My target!". So instead of waiting for breaks or the ending bell, you'd rather finish your work.

The supervisor's name is Simon. He's pelat and is always a kanchiong spider. Ironic that Simon's his name... He tells us what to do. Simon says, "Ok Ok guysh ah, chen of plansrh arh!".

Got to know that my cousin, Syafiq, is also working 12 hour shifts; at Bukit Batok's Motorola factory. As for the others who asked me about getting jobs, don't stop lah okay? I'm just damn lucky to hit the target with my first shot.



   First day.
   Tuesday, December 07, 2004, 2:59 PM

The factory was a lot lot yuckier than i thought. AngMoKio's Motorola is a hell lot more modern and convenient man. Those of you who worked/ are working there, feel lucky okay. We have no midnight foodstall(s), no lockers for contract workers and the toilet's creepy (for girls and some batiboys lah).

But despite that plus all the usual first day complains, i kinda like it there. Everyone seems to be friendly. They treat everyone like friends. There are only 150 people working in the small factory, so everyone pretty much knows each other's faces by 4 days or so.

It's JTI. It serves to produce a compilation of brands like Siemens, Motorola and Maxtor. We guys do the jobs nobody thought could be easier man! Around 10+ quitted yesterday, so places will be up for grabs.

The only discomfort now is the well-being of my stash. She said she'll be fine though and i'll believe her strong words.



   Back to work.
   Monday, December 06, 2004, 3:38 PM

I went to an interview with my hun. Got a job straight away, night shift. 12 hours. Starts tonight. Working under a don't-fuck-with-me boss. I like him :)

So pardon me, if i don't blog a lot for this month. With money, i'm thinking ringers and other goodies i've been dreaming to grab.

Motorola, baby!



   Play 007 and bang.
   Sunday, December 05, 2004, 2:43 PM

I know i typed about trying my best to avoid 'yesterday' posts and have more 'today' posts. I'm still trying okay!

Spent yesterday with Angel and her friends, at the shores. Weather was superb. Felt relieved they're all easygoing and fun to be with. It was a rather good day, after finally getting to see and interact with them rather than just imagine how they act out of pictures. We played this 007 game thingy, turned out fun. I didn't know my suggestions for forfeits in the game could humour them so much. I hope i created a good reputation among them, as i was being myself (apart from being stiff at the start. Who doesn't?).
Got to see Angel's superb rollerblading skills. Dammit, she's so good, i felt like i'm a total noob. To top it all, she's so sexy when she blades :P

Happy Anniversary deary :)



   So wonderfully pretty.

Went out for a summing-up Rayer outing yesterday. Who says Rayer atmosphere has decreased by time? The number of groups going out for Rayer is still high, and also those which still are in their traditional clothes.
Well, sum-up we didn't, with our real main target houses unavailable. Cikgu Hartini's uncontactable, Cikgu Nemah's wishing she lives in Johore, Feez went to SP and accompanied Mie (who skipped work) to town. And ironically, ALL the nervous 1989 girls said they were going out, haha.

But it was a rather cool time. Asylum, Azli (this guy is nuts), Luqman (1989) and Fadhli made up the possie. We came across a dead bird and snake-like fish, grossly injured. Took pictures, felt like vomitting due to the smell. And maggots and intestines.

Starved for all the houses so we had our dinner at Fuchun CC's KFC, when our chicken had to be ordered from outside because they finished stock. Hah.

Will try to post more 'today' entries instead of stuff about yesterday okie. Will be hanging out with Sugar and her friends tomorrow, at the shores. Hope i'll be okay :)



   Don't do the do-don'ts.
   Wednesday, December 01, 2004, 11:58 PM

The Cure is indeed an MTV Icon. Their music creates addicts out of people who enjoy relaxing or love songs of a different dimension. I need them oh~~~~

Went for Rayer outing with Marceles FC on Monday. I brought her with me, but unfortunately, she wasn't feeling well. So i decided to go off after 4 houses to get her some medication. Sorry guys, eheh. All the best for Friendship Cup though.

Was out yesterday morning until 4pm today. Had a deep talk with her about a particular topic unrelated to our relationship. Just needed that talk. I realized i had more faith than i thought. She's my driving force or something.

Taufik won SI. Kinda clear-cut eh? What the fuck was Sly thinking?! It's My Life?! And the part Gurmit asked him what his childhood dream was, he acted cute. Too much man! Pour some sugar on that bugger, he needs some diabetic injection. It was a disaster man. If only Olinda was in the finals! Although i believe it'll be a tough fight then, because Taufik brought 'Misses Jones' superbly.

Sorry DT, i wasn't available yesterday... My HP wasn't with me too. I told Mdm Soh already, so she would know.
