Driving tomorrow (Updated)

Wanted to go jogging this morning but feeling that i was very very tired after 5 days of travelling down to East side for work, i decided to inform my jogging buddies that i will not be joining with them and went back to sleep instead.

Woke up at around 11.15 am. Omg, the feeling is so nice after getting a well and long sleep.

Will be going for my 1st driving lesson tomorrow. I have been dragging this for a very long time. I will pay much attention to the lesson and hopefully i will pass on my 1st attempt.

Next thing coming up on a few decision are;

  1. I'm signing up for thai conversation course by a native thai teacher. Hopefully, i will pick up something that i never learn before. To think positively, even if it is, I will treat it as to consolidate my foundation. Wish me luck, guys
  2. I will be going to thailand again.. in december. Though the date are not really confirm, but a tentative travelling date has come out, and it will falls on between 13th dec to 16th Dec. It will be from Thursday to Sun.
I think seriously, we will be missing out the whole of the sunday, that's a pity and shame due to the different programme of my fellow travellers. Hopefully there will be a change of timing of the flight.

Received a call from Singtel on Mio matter. I decided to complain about their forced services. Please read the following complaint.

I received a call this afternoon regarding the free 6 months of Mio plan.

After introducing the details of this plan, your staff did not even seek for my permission whether I would like to sign up for this service and immediately arranged a date for the technician to come to my house and install the neccessary hardware.

I interrupted her and told her that I do not have any intention to sign up for this free plan.

Despite that, she kept telling me that I should sign up, giving me no way to reject.

As a result, I was forced to accept this free Mio plan and to accept the terms and condition and to enter the contract.

My purpose of this email is to reject the so-called agreement that I was force to enter this afternoon and would like to seek your clarification on why there wasn't permission asked to the customer.

Regards

Hopefully, I will be hearing from them pretty soon.

Alright, that's all for today.

Weekly Updates

A week into my new job. Everything was fine. The senior temp staffs are very helpful and capable of doing almost everything including talking rubbish.

And into a week of travelling from west to east and east to west, my energy is being drained just on the travelling itself. Thus, I need to sleep early to replenish my energy back as much as possible. But upon reaching the east side, i need to walk a great deal of distance to my workplace, and it really can kills me with the office attire as it is not comfortable.


My Office


The training room

But on the positive side, I already knew majority of the staffs here, so settling down to the new work environment was very well done.

Work scope wise, I really did nothing major to contribute like i said, the senior temp staffs are all very capable.

They finish their terms this week, and i guess i will be more busy next week onwards.

Went to archery last nite, and i got my Basic level 1 certificate.


My Archer Coach

As such, they are actively urgently recruiting temp staffs who can commit themselves for 1 month. Pay is attractive, located in the East. Interested candidate, kindly message me for more details. No education qualification is needed.

I'm confused.. Seriously confused..

Hi (to whoever who read it)

Life is currently good now. I got a temp job for 5 days a week, working for 8 hrs a day, for the next 3 months.

And that would means I have to buy some clothing, belt, and pant to work which cost me $110+. It also meant that I will have to work 3 days to cover back these expenses. Hmm, ok, enough of the saying, it still not a bad deal for this job.

Enough of the job.

I went to pay a visit to a fortune teller. This "consultation" cost me $170+. But the things he said were pretty true. Maybe I can share with you all the thing he said.

Career
I will have to change/switch 3 jobs before finding the right job/career for me.
I have a boss life.
Will be in the IT line.

Love
This is kinda bad
- Late Marriage - Not too sure what age, i didn't ask too
- Rare comings in getting a girlfriend, let alone a relationship. And even if I do get into relationship, it will normally not last and will broke off very fast. SIGH!!
- Will get a very capable wife, whom she is pretty and rich. (I just want someone that i can love ar)

Health
All are good. No major illness.

Alright, skip to other main topics for this week

Anyway, it seemed to good overall. Despite all the general good remarks, I ill not be complacent of my future. Anyway, i will work hard for it.

Watched Me...Myself on thursday. What a relief that it's not those nice love story though on the whole it's not a bad movie. Else I will be very depressed throughout it! The theme song is nice and hopefully, i will be able to get hold of it quick enough.

Hmm, I'm on the verge of discussing for an overseas trip yet again. I bet that you all will know where i will be going.

The difficult part is not to choose whether to go or not, but how to tell my parents about it.

But coming to think again, will i be making the right choice to go there?

ORD present

I was pleasantly surprised by Mdm Chong ORD present to me. She walked to my table and passed an envelope to me saying that it's my ORD present from her.


The Package


A delighted James Bob

Ok, then come this colleague of mine, Her Chuan. He was commenting of this envelope and said that a photo should be on it also as my name and designation were written on it.

Then he said that a photo, that is used for the DEAD (normally placed in front of the coffin during funeral wake), is to be pasted on the envelope. Upon his first comment, I kept quiet. Thinking that I might be deaf, he repeated. I was a bit pissed off by it, so i just like walked away and continue talking with other people.

Come to think of it, i think i must a saint that despite his insult and curses, I never scold him before.

My mum said that this kind of person is kind of jealous of you, should it be popularity, or ability. He is so jealous that he wants to compete with you, but normally, if a person doesn't enjoy the same level of popularity and/or ability, he/she will resort to such underhand means like insulting, cursing, etc.

Anyway, I am not interested in whatever thing he is going to say, and if i am going to hear something that is disadvantage to me, i am sure to scold him upside down.

That's all. Thanks Mdm Chong for the present.

Laptop repair service

Just post a question here hoping there will be some kind of responses.

Just want to know if anyone has a trusted serviceman to be recommended? Basically, my laptop faced problem on the connectivity of wireless connection.

It seemed that the connection breaks off easily between the laptop and the wireless router.

If anyone of you has someone in mind to recommend, kindly drop a message at the tagboard on the right.

Thanks

ORD..

Hmm, it's going to be 2 years since I start serving my NS. 13th Sept 2005

To be very frank, I was really hoping to serve in the Army. Reason is that they look more well-respected, more cool, etc. But on the other hand, I know that behind-the-scene, they have to do a lot of training and other things as well.

Nevertheless, my parents called me and they informed that I was being assigned to report to Police Academy on 13th sept 2005.

Being back into the SPF environment is even more bad, as I joined National Police Cadet Corps, NPCC for short, is an umbrella of SPF. I had served NPCC for 8 years already, wearing the same uniform, going to the same HQ, etc. But again, I didn't really reject the idea and so, I didn't call CMPB to change my posting.

Basic Police Training Course
Come that day, I reported there. Take our uniforms, attire, cut hair, etc. Introduced to our squad instructor and squadmates. I still can remember my first every meal in the Mess as a trainee. Hmm, though the food isn't bad, but it's the food that I don't like.

Have tonnes of fun during training, learnt of new things too. Well, I can't say too much of what we learnt and do, so, basically, I have to stop here la. (Don't blame me. I have integrity la)

Come to know our posting with the final few days of our basic police training course, I was really hoping to get into NPCO, but it seemed that it was not meant to be. I called to HQ to check things out and it turned out that person whom i am checking with, is my post. What a coincidence.

My Vocation
Was posted to there in Jan 06 as SA, Staff Assistant. But I jokingly renamed it as Secret Agent. Life as an administrative clerk can be quite fun. Work started from 8.30 am to 6 pm on a 5-days work basics.

During these 1 year 9 months, I had learnt a couple of things relating to work and non-work matter.

At work, I learn how to team up with person, of course, I have no problem with that all along. But there are different kind of person you gotta meet everyday at work, so I have to be very careful in interacting with them, especially the higher rank.

Personal
Off-work issues, I start to go out with girls more often, especially my ex-god daughters, etc. Hmm, prior to those outings, I have phobia with going out with females. I am very shy especially going out with females alone. So i thought the better way is to go out with them, group or alone. So that will make me feel better with female. Hmm, and i thought that will also try to close up the gap between me and them. But, not more than a year later, our relationships was seen crashing down. Maybe i don't know how to handle it well.

Gotta know my twin later, and she really knows how to chao keng when she was back in NPCC during her sec sch. She has a very bubbly character. I think i must be proud of myself to bring her dark life to happy person!! (Ok, I just wanna claim credits)

Other people like Sun Tian, Lek Meng, Raquel, Anita, Elyn, Kok Boon, Zhiwen, Hang Loon, Cao Sheng, Jack, Janice, Samuel and many more were there during my NS life.

For the 3 temporary staffs, they are wonderful person also whom they played a part to make our life more exciting.

Not to forget my secondary friends whom we still keep in constant contact. Shanhe, Shirong, Mingjie, Selin and Wee Chong whom we went out during the weekends.

Work
As for work, all things were still good. We shifted to Old PA from PCC. Transport and lunch were very inaccessible to me. But it's still better than in-camp training.

I am very very grateful that I know of a lot of wonderful colleagues except for one who was posted to my section in Jan 07.

My upperstudy was fantastic. He is a very flexible and resourceful person who knows how to work things fast and accurate. My section colleagues are wonderful too as they helped me to complete things if they can. Life in there was good. We have free time to go for swimming/sun tanning in the afternoon and going for gym session after work. Headed to home between 7 pm to nearly 12 am.

My 2 supervisors are fantastic person. They lead by example. They were very very patience with me when things go wrong. I am really very thankful for them.

We even had free overseas trip to selected countries. Luckily for me, I chose Bangkok, Thailand. For I met the girl I like over there. I am still be able to remember the moment when I saw her. She looked amazing, and now, still ever amazing.

Then come to the last few months of my NS life, I got a replacement and the hardest thing was to teach him things without anybody interrupt. Luckily for me, he seems to be pretty smart and independence.

Now, with a few days to go, I really can't bear to leave this nice place I was used to be in. But, life has to move on. I left this place with a heavy heart.


Now, I'm to find a better working environment, especially the pay side which i got $817 every month! Haha.

Au voir, my friends. I will miss you all (except for 1 person)
