Strange day

 Today, I started off with a strange encounter. Everything was fine. I got up early like 6:00 am. Shower and get dressed. Everything was packed up last night. Managed to get breakfast without queue. Eat at home. Managed to empty my bowel on time. Hehe. Then wait until around 7:30am to set off to work. Somewhere just as I was walking off the HDB and on my way to the MRT station, an old lady was walking beside me talking. I didn’t respond. Then as I was crossing the road, I saw a car like don’t know parking or approaching. I walked slower so the car can see me and the old lady. It was until then I realised the old lady was talking to me. She just walked beside me talking smoothly I thought she was talking with somebody else. I looked around, nobody. She was talking to me so I har?? She repeated her sentence. “Jie jie, Jie jie, ke yi gei wo qian mai dong xi chi ma” (Sister, can give me money to buy food” I was like what? First she called me Jie jie or I misheard her. She might be calling me xiao jie. She wasn’t accompanied by anyone… suspicious… Why people kept on asking me for money every-time I went down? First time for an old lady. Normally, it was little kids. Is there anything wrong there? Are they controlled by scammers? or are they really not having any food to eat? But seeing she was really old I gave her 10 dollars. I hope she can really buy food though not for scammers. Reason, I don’t have smaller notes. 2-4 dollars were too little to get any food nowadays. I just quickly go off also. If she was scammed, later I became victim. Somemore, there was a van beside. I ran off after giving 10 dollars. Later I get kidnap, worst. 

I reached the MRT and the queue was long. I was like worried if anything wrong with it. I waited for the next lah. It arrived soon but was quite empty. I wasn’t expecting a seat until I saw a guy rushing in all the way from the other side to sit down. I just took the place where I liked to stand. It is still my favourite spot apart from sitting. I get to put my bag down. Then I got down the train to change another. Seats! I reached my destination. Got on the bus on time too. Reached office on time and get to go to the toilet. I prepare to war with my laptop because I was really angry I couldn’t solve the problem yesterday and almost the whole weekends. Argh… What the heck. Hacker can anyhow hack a system. I cannot even hack my own computer… Which is Microsoft by the way…  Whoever doing the new system, good job with the security but anyway, the loopholes were only known by hackers… wait. This wasn’t my complain yet. MY LAPTOP suddenly prompt me a lot when I open my task scheduler. I used that to set time and wifi… I clicked as before which happened a few times last week… BUT this was like a series. Before was like one or two the most… ever since I changed time… argh… Then my laptop internet option disappeared…. Cry… It was the craziest time I have ever felt in a long time. IT was OFFLINE. I spent half day debugging it. It just didn’t work. I opened up the settings and phew it was still under warranty. October this year expire. Best Thing? I got my new laptop!!!! Best ever I have ever felt. It came with a pen. I was actually thinking it won’t be of much use because of accuracy but it IS actually really good with the accuracy. I was once head hunted by Dell but I guess I screwed up with my English. The one who phone interview me was in the US. He talked about food and weather… I was like that was the worst part for me to talk about. I just eat whatever that is convenient and fast. If I told him I only know McDonalds then not sure what will be the reactions. I guess I just cared too much. Anyway, I didn’t get it but was just happy if it weren’t for me being social and the accent that I needed, my skills were sought after. The laptop was not a disappointment. It was so much better than all the laptops or desktop I ever have while at work. To be happy and satisfied. 😊 

Now the war part has yet to be revealed. Lucky I was doing the set up and the set time program or the login and ui. After doing all that, I was thinking where to get all the datas. That’s where I left off. In the end, it wasn’t really my part for the web. Good thing last week has one holiday else I would be doing the wrong thing. crazy… Guess this job always come with something that I shouldn’t do and didn’t do it by luck from the beginnings. First was the call. It could have been a call that I would never answer if it was my workday. The interview. I was not sure how I should dress. I got my pants and prepare my old leather shoes. I got my shirt. Well. It wasn’t until I matched them together, I felt like that was the worst combination. Changed my pants to jeans. Changed my shirt. I walked down and reached downstairs by stairs. As I walked towards the bus stop, my shoes seemed odd. It started to crack. Maybe it was really too long ago that I have worn them. The foot sole which was like plastic just disintegrate… I have to get back upstairs to change. I have new shoes that I kept as extra during sales. Never thought I would need it. Another was the email. No email received…. sigh. What the heck. Anyway, when I reached, I realised because of all that I wasn’t under dressed. The shirt inside my shirt was the problem. Kept dropping off. Then the email again… I guess all that is a sign that was meant to be a pull or push. After I signed contract, the ones that I have been waiting both called and sent email to ask me to apply. One direct and one agent… Sigh… I sad siah. It was because of the salary difference but I just signed. I hate this kind of thing… Before my first day of work, the one who asked me to apply during new year asked me back… That one the difference was even higher than the previous two…. I couldn’t sleep that night…

War and Job

 现在哪里都要打仗了。是不是应该更要花时间找更稳定的工作。其实我的工作才是最没有保障的。应为我还不算这个公司的员工。然后还发现别的事。有问题到最后,我会先被赶走吧。那我现在更应该要找工作吧。不然等到仗都开始打了,我才找就太迟了。。。 Don’t deal with people with hidden agenda. Motto of life.

该不该

 有时候生气起来会做些什么可笑的事. 还记得有一次,工作到很晚很晚. 我大概在公司有二十几个小时. 没有睡好. 可是还有很多事要做. 一边量着东西一边写文件. 然后真的不行了就躺在椅子上睡着了. 然后发现有人来上班了. 早上还是中午. .. 越想越累越气就直接回家打辞职信.  然后有一次赶着要交货. 弄了一整夜. 那一次我并不累. 应为我很气. 有个人一有空就来帮我. 好感激但还是气. 24 小时没睡. 想了整个晚上. 回家一定要打辞职信. 不可能的事还是变可能了. 在交货前赶完了. 还看到早班的人. 说我神经病. 不过可能知道我赶所以每次都会帮我. 后来交完货, 我搭车回家. 大概10点多了. 从前天的六点起床就没有睡. 我一定要打辞职信. 可是好像没有信封. 我到家楼下的便利店买了信封. 结果信封很难看. 折的不好. 品质不好. 气死我了. 我就回家大辞职信. 没有洗澡, 没有吃东西. 直接打. 打完了才去. 然后睡了一觉. 我想还是等有空就再去买信封. 后来买了然后把信放好就交给老板.  后来有一次, 有人叫我交履历. 我的履历都没时间写了. 虽然很想写. 有天回到家又忘了自己把旧的放哪里了. 我的电脑坏了后来换了新的. 后来新的没有,只有N年前写的. 打开的时候, OFFICE WORDS 到期.... 结果想办法用的GoogleDoc. 好多功能都没有. 好麻烦. 就随便用了他们的template. 后来写好了. 好难看. 可是我想不管了. 要就要. 不要就不要. 就这样... 而且都不知道他们是不是真的要请我.  我现在又有这种冲动. 该不该...
