Ooooo.. its another tuesday that i decided to update this blog of mine here. Well..last week i went to support my friend in an starwars cosplay competition. Sounds interesting right?.. well.. let me explain cosplay to ppl who leave on no mans island. Cosplay means dressing up in costumes of fictional characters. Usually ppl dress up as japanese managa characters to attend conventions... blar blar blar.. So that day my friend dressed up as a starwars character lor... Guess what he dressed up as?? Well.. most ppl might guess stormtrooper or obiwan kenobi or even darth vader... but then most ppl are wrong.. including me. My friend dressed up as a fighter pilot wor!!!... cool huh.. Well.. i would have attached some photos here if not for my lousy photography skills. Most of the photos that i took came out horrid as my hands were shaking for no reason. Hehe.

The next thing that i wanna say here is that i seem to be quite settled down in my new workplace liao... since i am not so the looking out for new job opportunities liao.. Maybe its due to the setback at my last interview that has set me back on my job hunting for at least one month or so.. to recuperate from my endless searches..and to gain alittle more job experience so that any future employer would not have the excuse that i have a tendency to job hop like a kangaroo.... as i have left my second job after just a one month stint and if i were to leave this job now it would also lead to another one month stint... hehehe...so thats all folks... to a bright future for everyone.. including a slacking lousy employee me.

Wah.... today i worked till 7pm wor. I feel so the unlucky today... Firstly someone whose system's power supply failed suddenly tell me that he wants to retrieve his archive emails which are stored in his hard disk. Then i tell him that i would try and i went about trying to boot up other ppl's systems using his hard disk. After about 4 tries using 3 different systems, his harddisk still wouldnt bootup. So i went to tell him the truth that his harddisk had failed and that the only way to recover his mails was to go to the server and send him back all his mails. I also told him that if he was to die die to recover from the hard disk, it could be sent to some vendor who would be able to restore the data for around 100 dollars plus plus.....then he sort of like say send lar...then i give the huh!! face... and he went away.....

Last week i had quite alot of things to do, doing setting up of desktops, troubleshooting my own desktop...only to find out that the issue does not lie on my desktop itself..blar blar blar... I felt so exploited to do everything else that is not necessary but want to be done the things... blar blar blar.. i also dunno wat am i writing also.. lalala..

Well... there was the PC show last week at the Singapore Expo..i finally got myself an MP3 player.... something that i felt that i didnt need at all while i was working at SI*... cause i could listen to songs on my receiver... but after since i have been taking the North East Line to my workplace... which is fully underground... i have felt a desperate need to listen to music... Whats more is that i am not allowed to listen to music while at work... so this lead to my desire to get an MP3 player... And the MP3 player that i would liked to have must definately have a built in radio, so that i can still keep in touch with the outside world... and it must also have excellent sound quality... So i went to buy a MP3 player from creative.... Guess which one i bought. I believe nobody would believe that i would spend this kinda of money on a mp3 player.... I bought a "ZEN Micro" which has a capacity of 5GB... translating to about 2500 songs... which i dun think i can reach this kinda of capacity...

Lala... today the three desktop systems that my comp ordered came today. Three IBM thinkcentres... yeah!!... Then the outsourced guys came along and taught me how to do the configurations this and that and finally informed me how to do the archiving of the emails... Speaking of the three desktops that came today, i learned to config one, config one myself, and while doing the configurations, the owners come to rush me for the machine.... Usually, i would feel very the frustrated when ppl are rushing me, but then today i no feelings.. WEIRD.. So i happily continue the configurations of the system.... Installing the antivirus, the time management program...blar blar blar...and finally when i sat down to configure the system that was for my own usage, the Network card failed on me.... and i went WHY ME!!!... WHY ME!!!... why the first two system for other ppl no problem, come to me got problem liao.... sianzz...

Then when wanna make payment for the machines, my side ppl keep on tell me that shldnt have paid cause one machine was not working very the well....and that my collegue would be held responsible if anything major were to happen to my machine... then i am the one affected lor.. Then happily my boss send me email yest nite regarding some email daemon message that he recieved regarding the mailbox quota of some singnet account which i have no idea what so ever. Haizz..life is not so the beautiful afterall... And then since my machine is the one affected, i cant reply the email that my boss sent me and i might be labelled as imcompetent as an IT support person.

Well... after all these sianz things that are happening to my life, i think that i shldnt be so complainly after my phone conversation with mag. It has been so long since we spoke, last time i email her she also dun reply one.. so sad.. then today i 'xing xue lai chao' SMS her some quiz.. and she msg me with her phone no... then we chatted lor. I learnt that she had to takeover someones job who has left the company suddenly due to some "classified" reasons... then she was not around when that person left and then that person did not had a chance to handover the stuff that he was doing... then mag sianzz.. and had to figure out everything by herself... and there is big chaos at her side as the previous person did not do until very the well and all the engines had overrun their hours making a big mess out of the situation... Then she informed me that s**dy was transferred back to her previous department... and kanna bullied again... which is very the sad... she was supposed to be transferred to another dept but then somehow that dept got extra hands, then she was transferred back and had to do shit work for other ppl again... SIANZZ.. So after hearing this, i feel that my fate is not so bad as my previous collegue..

Another well..... LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL... dont moan at what is being thrown at you cause somewhere out there, someone else is suffering from even worse treatment then the one you are getting... The end..
