Blog EntryOverwealmed.Oct 8, '07 11:55 AM
for everyone
Today had been a horrible day! I am so overwealmed with work that I didn't know where to start. Everything seemed to be going wrong.... the files and papers are stacking up... my phone was ringing off the hook... I really need to priortise and work on ONE thing at a time...

I was at the dentist in the morning to get my chipped tooth looked at, and I was told that I need to do a crown for it... She told me it's gonna cost me around $500 for the whole procedure... but i still went ahead with it. So she took some x-ray, took a mould of my teeth, and patched up my tooth (apparently the crowning can only be done next week)... and the whole bill (just for today) came up to $190! DAMN!!!!

I had the SHOCK of my life when I reached home in the evening and found this package on my table... it's from my best friend Elaine.... and guess what....

My own PERSONALIZED iPod TOUCH!!! (yar... my name's engraved on the back!!)


Aiyoh! WOMAN!!! Why??? My b'day is in January leh... Christmas is still FAR away... you sure you got the correct Justin or not?? haha... ok... after hearing your explanation over the phone just now... i understand now... THANK YOU! THANK YOU! you really made my day!! But next time, I want iPhone HORRRR. :P

Darteo is back from his Europe roadtrip! Welcome back bro!!

Blog EntryThe Best X'mas Gift Ever!Dec 22, '06 9:31 AM
for everyone
today was the big day! my final hurdle for the project.... the presentation to the powers-that-be... the big boss man himself haha...
 
... and i managed to clear it.... gosh i am so relieved now.... now i definitely can sleep better at night... this has got to be the BEST X'mas gift i have ever gotten...
 
but of course, it's not plain sailing ....
 
i didn't sleep too well last night as my presentation script keeps playing over and over again in my head... and when i got into office in the morning, just when i thought i had it all nailed, my boss came in, and grilled me on what i am supposed to present... and was totally different from the one i prepared. so i had less than 2 hours to amend my slides, get the facts and figures ready... and prepare a new script... TOTAL CHAOS!!!
 
And the thing was, i was not even suppose to be presenting... but i was told to do so anyway...
 
So, went for the meeting... and while i was waiting in the reception area for my turn... my OTHER boss came out and told me that i do not need to present... we'll just take it as "the paper is read and endorsed".... wah lau eh....
 
so in the end, i DID NOT present.... haha
 
Oh...sidetracking, i think my bosses are getting kinda paranoid after the recent incident regarding work stress.... while i was waiting (slouching-ly) on the couch, a director-level person suddenly came up to me and whispered :
 
"Are you very tired? I have been noticing you for the past few weeks. You look very tired."
 
"Err... yar...."
 
"Why? Work issit?"
 
"Err... yar...."
 
"Well... take care!"
 
Today is the start of the final leg of my leave.... i'll only be back in office on 3rd January 2007...
 
Or so i thought.
 
P.S. Thank you to those that got me cards and prezzies.... Merry Christmas!!

Blog EntryWriter's BlockJun 22, '06 12:36 PM
for everyone
Serious case of writer's block... i am suppose to come up with a paper since last month for my customer... but i just can't seem to be able to get my thoughts from brain to paper... so i'm been sitting on it for as long as i could...

well... right up till today i suppose...

customer sent me a mail, threatening to bring the matter up to higher management... that probably woke up me, not that i'm afraid of answering to management... but the fact that my papers-in-waiting are snowballing... after this one, which i promised to deliver by tomorrow today afternoon, i've still got 3 more to go...

I hate writing papers!

So, here i am, staring at my screen again... waiting for the block to unblock...

Anyway, in the next 24 hours, the following will be happening...
1. firedrill in office... funny, they let us know beforehand that there is a drill...wat's the point har?
2. dinner & dance at suntec... glitz and glitter theme...
3. ivan's leaving us...
4. i got a paper to submit that is half-f**ked...
