An eye-opener.

Goodbye, Holiday Job

I woke up this morning and a wonderful scent caught my nose: freedom. Yup, the paycheck I have received yesterday officially marked the full stop for my holiday job. This coming Monday, there won't be waking up before my eyes tell me to. Plus, there'll be my beloved potato chips if my tummy starts making noises before lunch time. And of course there'll be my cosy bed welcoming me for a nap anytime my eyelids decide that they need some rest. While the rest of you have no choice but to ignore your poor rumbling tummies, stick your asses to those office chairs and glue your eyes to the computers for eight miserable hours. MUAHAHA!!!

Now, I've only got one problem to solve and I can dedicate all my time and energy to solve this problem. But I know it's not going to be easy. So, perhaps you guys might want to help?

The problem is: What to do with my time? =.=

Really, I hope you guys can give me some suggestions. I've done surfing internet and watching movies. I'm sick of computer games and even sicker of television. I've asked my friend out to play badminton, got myself badly thrashed and now my right arm is hurting like mad. I've Chesscubed and my first game was the only time my rating hit >1500. What else can I do?


Oh, almost forget, here are some photos with my friends at work...
(Warning! I look stupid in some photos!)

This is Yann Shiang. She's like my teacher there. I've learnt 90% from what I know from her. Oh, and she talks real loud! So, we won't know when she's really scolding someone. Haha! Anw, she rarely scolds.

This is Vinson. The audit guy. What's the difference between an accounting guy and an audit guy? To put it briefly, the accounting guy, like me, does the shit while the audit guy checks the shit. First, his name is weird. I mean which Vincent has his name spelled V-I-N-S-O-N? Haha! He also ponteng-ed work for like one month to study for his ACCA!

This is Patrick. Also an audit guy. An Indian who knows how to speak Mandarin better than his own mother tongue! If you don't believe that he's a gay, take a look at the photo and you'll think again. Haha!

This is Gui Chuan. He's the account guy. Like me. He came into the office only two weeks later than me. He keeps complaining work is very "sien". Actually Vinson and Patrick do, too but the audit people do their work in a different room so I hear the most from Gui Chuan. Oh, by the way, you guys should check out his Myvi! Cool man! This guy loves his car... and his girlfriend... and his family... and his car...

This is Yee Pei. Not much to say about her coz she's quiet. She's quite blur blur one but she's always very punctual when it's time to go home!

This is Heck Hui. Accounts guy. A 2-week-old newbie at the office. Hopefully he'll be a good replacement for me. Haha!

This is Michelle. Audit girl. Also a 2-week-old newbie. I didn't have much chance to talk with both the newbies.

This is Elise. Quitted 2 months earlier than me =.= She was very talkative and when she's gone, a very quiet girl took her place (next to mine). So sien... Still, she comes back once a while to join us for lunch. Plus, she's erm... not very well blessed vertically. I can literally not see her if I look straight while she stands right in front of me. Haha!

And there's Lily. She refused to take photo with me. Don't know why (but you can catch a glimpse of her in the following pic). She's the eldest among us and the only one who speaks English. So, she's like my English language buffer kind of thing. She makes sure I don't lose my English while I babble away in Chinese everyday in the office.
This is how my office looks like. The second floor of a shophouse. Of course this is not the whole thing la. I just want to show you the place where I used to sit (red arrow).

And below is me sitting on my boss' chair.
My heart was thumping like mad when I took this photo. I'm like the only one brave enough to go sit on my boss' chair while he, his wife and his daughter were having lunch at the pantry. Haha! And that stupid Vinson (he snapped this photo) kept "aiyah, wrong button" or "aiyah, blur la" while snapping this photo. And the boss was like just a few steps away! It felt like Fear Factor k...

This is us after we had our kimchi steamboat at a Korean restaurant! Yummy! This restaurant is one of our almost weekly lunch venue. But still, my favourite weekly lunch venue is McDonald's!

Phew... Now I can understand why other people keep complaining about how troublesome it is to upload photos onto blogger... especially when you have a lousy connection. Truly a pain in the ass! But sometimes it's worth it. I don't think I have the stamina to upload anymore photos. Maybe I'll do it on facebook some other time.

I'm going to miss all my colleagues...

Hey, please suggest something for me to kill my free time ar.

Ta Ta!

Medical Check-Up

Today, they poked that freakin needle into my arm and suck my blood out.

OUCH!!!



~I'm still allergic to pain...~


The piggy flu disease seems to be getting really serious in Singapore. At least that's what we see on news. In the public, I really don't see a single person wearing mask. Not a single one on the crowded bus or in the crowded MRT. No one sneezed or sniffed. No one dared to.

I arrived at the University Health Centre at about 9.30 am. One whole damn hour ahead of my actual appointment time. Heck care. I went in and there was this lady, a nurse, behind the table asking me:
Do you have a fever?
No.
Have you travelled to countries infected with Influenza A H1N1 for the past *don't know* how many days?
Nope. (like any country isn't...)
Have you come into close contact with anyone diagnosed with A H1N1 flu?
Oh, you mean the swine flu?
Yes.
No.
Good.

Then, I went to the registration counter. It seemed like they didn't really care what time my appointment was. Paid S$45 and I became the first 10.30 am person to register. More like a first-come-frst-served basis.

Anw, the first was the eye-test, which I find pretty pointless. Please lar, we were all lined up just beside the eye-test station waiting and you can like memorize the thing before u go for your test because the nurse asked everyone to read exactly the same thing!

Next was the blood test... Shit man. You know those times when the nurse can't seem to locate your vein successfully? For the first time I've experienced it today =.= She poked that freakin needle in, then she stared... I stared... nothing come out. Then she said something like, "Haiz, sometimes its hidden... very hard to find." I almost said "WTF!!!" Then, instead of pulling out that needle and poke again, she let the needle remain poked and started moving the needle around under my skin and muttered to herself, "Where is it... Where is it..."

"Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!" Of course I didn't say that out but if I say it's not painful, it's a lie. I'm not sure how long she took to find my bloodstream but it sure felt very long. Finally, I saw my blood squirting out into the tube. She didn't use syringe to do it. She asked me to squeeze on some sponge thingy and let my blood flow out by itself, very much like when you're donating blood... I think... (I've never donated blood before Xl)

Anw, after that, I had my blood pressure measured and then, the urine test. The usual. The nurse gave me a small plastic cup... go toilet pee... then give them my pee. I was wondering if I should give them one whole cup (no harm giving extra!) but I settled with half a cup... (why am I even blogging such details??? =.=lll) Following that was the X-ray. Whenever the nurse called a girl, the nurse will say, "Please remove your shirt and bra." Then the girl will like stun there. Then the nurse will smile back and say, "You can do it there." while pointing to a room. It happened a few times. Don't know why the nurse seemed to enjoy it.

The last part was seeing a doctor. The doctor took out his stethoscope (correct spelling?) then asked me to breathe in... breathe out... breathe in... breathe out... while he listened to God knows what he's listening. When he's done...

"Doctor, where do I go next?"
"Go home."
"Oh, all right. Thank you."
"Bye bye."

End of story. It took about one hour for eveything, so I finished at the time when I was supposed to start. Haha!

ta ta!

Medical Check-Up

Tomorrow, they're going to poke that freakin needle into my arm and suck my blood out.

OUCH!!!

遇见

Since everyone is blogging song... this is one of my favourites.

I'm sure all of you have heard this before... a long long time ago.







我遇见你是最美丽的意外...

It Happened AGAIN!!!

Damn! The actual final day of my employment (which is supposed to be today) has been postponed! AGAIN!!! I'm really really pissed this time. Shit man! Previously, when I'm all prepared to bid farewell to all my colleagues, he asked me to stay a couple more days. A couple more days later, it happened again.

When I passed my boss the file of another compnay, which I rushed like mad for him (i made my dad wait for like an hour yesterday coz i was rushing this thing), which must have been done previously by a total moron who knows nuts about accounting, which made rushing very very hard...

My Boss: Eh Liang Hung, can u come back to work a couple more days ar?

Me: *stone*

My Boss: I haven't found a replacement for you. Can you please come back and help me finish some miscellaneous work?

Me: Like that ar...

My Boss: *take out calendar* When next week can you come back?

Me: Next week ar... Very hard le... Wednesday I got medical check-up.

My Boss: Like that ar. Monday and Tuesday can?

Me: Cannot lar. I need to rest ahead of my medical check-up.

My Boss: Thursday?

Me: I got appointment with my friends on Thursday le. (this time, the appointment is a total lie)

My Boss: Like that Tuesday and Friday can? You'll have Saturday, Sunday and Monday to rest.

Me: Like that la... I'll come on next Thursday and Friday. But Thursday I can only come half day.

My Boss: Like that ah. Ok.



You know how I'm feeling now? Fucked up. Totally fucked up! (Pardon the F-word. I'm a good boy who rarely uses F-word but i feel like it now >.<)

Anw, I shan't go on ranting words of fury. With my pissed off mood, I've got only pissed stuff to say. *pisssssssssssssssed.......* Hopefully my boss doesn't see this. Haha! Oh, and hopefully Emily (his daughter) doesn't make her way to my blog as well!

Come to think of it, my boss didn't do anything wrong also... Ok maybe always telling me last minute that he wants me to work some more isn't so good coz I'm all prepared to leave and say goodbye. Haiz... Anw, let's hope I enjoy the little holiday I have now. Haha!



I figure that some of you may have your eyebrows raised when I mentioned Emily (his daughter)... *you know what I mean* Well, here's a little depressant for your raised eyebrows. Emily is married and has two daughters. LOL!!!

ta ta!
