10 Feb 2010
An normal noon like any day...
But mood changes as the messages pass around... It was the Talk of the Office for past 2 weeks. What can we do? But to hang our necks out to wait.
So finally it was confirmed. Things just have to change like a pack of poker cards, shuffled up for the next round of game. It is normal for such issues to occur especially under the current economy..
But to me, I just don't feel good about it. Can't help it to feel so emotional. Well that's Life isn't it? Like the short live butterflies around us, aren't they going through the 'fixed' short life cycle, replenishing them every day, so that Human can (taking it for granted) see them every day?
Anyway all the best mates!
Below song, is what I feel is nicely composed, polished further by Kelly Clarkson. I taken a liking for it after listening to it performed by a live band it at Pub.

"Who Moved My Cheese?"
5 Feb 2010
My first post for 2010.
All thanks to Jazs for lending me this book "Who moved my cheese?'. Just in time, for an upcoming change that is gonna take place really soon on where I work.
The usual stuff~
3 years where I always have to face this....
A Change
It is only when I read up this book, where I found out that (like anyone else around) I very afraid of Change. Be it, changing of where I live, where I sit, where I work. I'm exactly like the main character in the book. It may be the laziness in me that contribute to this FEAR in me.
I admit that I'm like a worm... Even now the course which I'm taking at SP, I did struggled a bit to pull myself into the registration.
After this afternoon announcement, the more I thought I should recommend this book around. I thought that reading this book at different stage of our lives may makes one develop different edge of thinking.
Why don't you Try reading it?

I detest work but trying my best to love it
24 Nov 09
Working till 7pm today, with the sound keyboard, mouse clicking. I'm really find myself 200% concentrated on those unfinished work that have been piling up like an hourglass just been overturned.
I think it is the quietness that push me on... So quiet till the CPU fans seem so loud.
Maybe I still prefers working with myself.
Even now, I brought my work home, and I asked myself, "What for?" But I just dig into WORK without asking why it keep pestering me.
As I work, I listen... Radio keep playing the songs which I've never hear before. Songs dated 1991 seems like the latest song to me. For example this :
While I finally drop my work out, listen to it with my heart. Finding the lyrics really meaningful .
And by chit chatting with fellow colleague, I learnt that 'Halo' is 'Halo'.
I actually listened to it everytime I walked past those Brands' RoadShows at Orchard Road, but never really know 'Hey lo or Heillo' is she singing, and I can't really hunt for it online.
And after song listening, relax awhile, it is time where I head back to work, whom I need to learn how to love till I'm 62 years old.

Moving on
5th Oct 09
Some things in our Lives will certainly be wash off by Time.
I always believe in a chinese saying : 时间不留人. Call Time cruel, ripping our age year by year. This causes things around us, come and go. Leaving us so helpless... Forcing us to learn from the past, treasure whatever we have or we can have.
I was listening to Capitol 95.8FM during dinner today. It was a discussion session over the air, and their subject was "Wet Market". That really makes me remember the presence of those neighbourhood wet market and their current status.
I still can recall when I was 4 or 5 years old, I always follow my grandma down the market 500m away my house. Chicken were fresh, fishes lying there ready for scale-removal process, plently other shops that sell stuffs for your everyday use. These markets were always wet and slippery, you always make sure you wear the lousiest slippers down there. As meats, dry stocks, veggies were left in the open without any chilling devices, the smell was unbearable for many. But this is your grandparents or parents favourite morning hang out place!
Walking down the old spiral staircases with your wet red plastic bags, my grandma will ask me,"Carrot cake for lunch? Or Fishball noodle?" It is so convenient that it houses everything you need under one roof! That brings tons of memories back for people born in the early 80s.
Such a convenient place will definately attract lots shoppers right? But Time isn't gonna let it get it way. Though GOVt has been very kind to upgrade all wet markets, attempting to make it less "wet" with better stain-resistance tiles, better drainage system, strict cleanliness routine, Wet Market is still losing it's stand in Gen-Y people (on the verge of married, babies producing machines) Why?
Blame no one, I thought. Imagining the future of those stall-holders, I feel pity as things snow-balling soon.
Our 8am - 5pm work time - leading to lesser biz for wet markets - slowly wet markets got lesser - cutting the numbers of stall-holders - job losts.
This is one chain reaction which I struggles to figure out the remedy. But meanwhile, I'll do what I can to collect more memories of the wet markets, starting by visiting my nearest wet market for breakfast, during my off-days.

- Who wants to wake up early morning to buy grocery? (As it stop biz around 1pm)
- Prices at markets are usually like shares market
- You don't earn LinK-pts buying from market.
- You need to see the fishmonger's mood to get a fresh fish
- Any reasons I've miss out?

Let's get on with it
11 Aug 2009
After a rather UNenjoyed holiday weekend, I headed back to my workplace which I left my footsteps on 9th Aug 09, 1400hrs. The weekend was spent working... Hunting down tons pieces of files and papers... Till I dread the thinking to heading Toa Payoh this morning. And it turns out real hectic even today...
But during the busy hours, I still forked out sometime, reading online Straits Times. Feeling heart-ache for the massive destruction done on Taiwan, China and Japan. After catching clips of what happened to Taiwan over the weekend on TV news, I started following the status of the current natural disaster.
The fiery waves swept past the low-lying areas, the gust of wind, the bodies of innocents floating above the water mixed with soil... For once I thought I was looking at a new Natural Disaster Movie (e.g. Day after Tomorrow..) But stood in front is Reality.
It just seems to me that GOD is doing his population control of Mankind during this period. With additional factors like H1N1, the process seems discouraging for the surviving us.
Not only these, our well-known personels have also left us.

Crossing the half year mark of year 2009, with those news occuring, I really hope we should have lived happier.
Unfortunately, we can't.

Good to be back~
3rd Aug 09
Finally I'm back here.. Surfing the net effortlessly.. Without having to wait for my sista's laptop to boot up for 15minutes.
Finally decided to fix up my 1st DIY desktop after getting my bonus on July! Just wanna post this entry for recording purposes (just in case I lost my reciepts). So this is what I brought at Sim Lim Square, after my findings, research from the net and HardWareZone :
AMD PII X4 955 BE + Biostar TA790GXE 128M - $435
Team Elite DDR2 2X2GB - $80
Seagate 500GB SATA2 - $82
CoolerMaster 310 - $69
I managed to buy the last piece of SF4 promo pack :
Palit GTX260 896MB
SonicAerocool E85M 550W
SF4 game - Bundle price $399
Total price : $1065
Being such a miser, I ended up staring at my bank book of how easily my bonus got 'leaking' away. But with the process of research till the date where I really made my purchase, I thought I learnt quite a bit. Fixing up those hardwares, 'digging' further into ways to spruce up the performance of my Processor chip.
Sense of achievement~ Let you see some photos of my new 'buddy'

My graphics card
AMD X4 955 Processor chipset
My CoolerMaster big fan w/ Power supply
My MaMaBoard plus all internal organs of my CPU
I really found lots infos on HardwareZone forum. Not really that difficult to fix up a CPU, but difficult to boost the individual parts. (I feel~) Now I can play my Sims 2, thinking of buying Sims 3 soon~ *Woo~ Download m0vi3s... etc..
Finally achieving another target this year..
Speaking about Year 2009 Target.
Other than this CPU, I also did obtain some achievement in my career. Bearing some labour fruits finally. And that certainly give me another strong push to fight harder during this recession period.
Another target!! I finally strike 4D in Year 2009!!!
*This can be counted as a New Year Resolution right?
To hold on to dream, turning them into reality really take tons of efforts. It's never easy. I'm glad I did it~
P.S. Anyone interest to buy my Street Fighter 4 (PC Version)?

We fall sick on 25 Jun 09
2 July 09
7 days ago I fell ill...
Flu drowned me
Sore thoat squeezed my throat
Arrr...
Facing a voice change... My nose started blowing non-stop like a trumpet... It feels like it is gonna fall off... While thinking of this nose dropping feeling, it reminds me of somebody, whose Nose Surgery issue which make him a laughing stock.
As I slept through the whole morning till evening, with my radio on above my head... I thought I heard something like, "Class95 pays tributes to the King of Pop". At that point of time I didn't have the energy to wake up to find out. Only when I was taking my lunch, I logged on to the net.
I was absolutely shocked to see on Yahoo news that King of Pop, Michael Jackson was dead! He, who soared sky high during the 80s and early 90s, cut numerous record breaking album, has left the world. I started listening to all his greatest hits online during that afternoon.
Call it a Human weakness... Remember him only when he is dead. Listening to his songs only when he fall out of earth. I think this is the natural course which happen to most of us. For me, his death only causes my childhood memories to re-surface.
Songs of MJ were heard over the radio and tv during my primary school days. I'm not a huge fan of him, but as he slowly faded out of showbiz, our thinking of him during 21st Century, is only filled with stuffs concerning his Lawsuit, bankruptcy, his children and his nose matters.
I still remember during Primary school days, my principle make the whole school to remember this song by heart (lyrics was printed out given to everyone) and the whole shool sang it during (I think is) Children's Day. I remember I was performing in a segment during the concert, so I was up on stage singing this song with the rest of performers.
Heal the World
During Primary 4, I was selected (or voluntdeer, I can't recall) to perform again. A classmate of mine, decide to do a dance. He brought a video tape, show it to our teacher, which was given the green light to do it. After 2 sessions of rehearsal, the performance was called off by some issues which again, I CAN'T RECALL!! But we had fun during the rehearsals. Fake moonwalk, 'wriggling' our legs and shouted out,"Woo~" Guess what video we are working on?
BAD
During that time, I still remember I had a t-shirt with MJ's face on it! Coz stuffs about him is selling like hotcakes everywhere! On 1995, when I first saw his release of album, "HIStory", the mtv that show everyone screaming his name, where the helicopters pull off the curtains to uncover a statue of Michael Jackson (think is same height with Statue of Liberty). I was sucked to the television when I saw that.
Now I just wonder which artist now, has ever enjoy the same God-status treatment in showbiz like him? Having movies of him, releasing 10minutes extended version of MV? Having millions of fans all round the world. Even my Mum knows about him during my primary school days! Dance like him (So fast, his movement. So smooth, his Moonwalk.) I can't think of anyone.
To me, he is a Great Celebrity, who certainly occupied a whole chunk of memories during my primary school days. And I count myself fortunate to be born in the early 80s, to be able to caught glimpse of Michael Jackson while he is at his PEAK. Below is, I personally feel, the best clip from him.
Performing live, for the first time, his MoonWalk to the screaming
audiences, singing
