Today is the last work day in Comtech. How time flies, we actually move every 2 years. Ha. Dajieda said it is a way of promoting us since those managers will be cubeless when we are in D2. Ha. The very fact is we spend the whole week packing our stuffs!! haha.Good life uh.
Good bye, 188. I will miss you alot!
Tier x
Hmm I think sometimes getting out of SG for a while is definitely good for me since I think the contagious bug is affecting those who still care and bother to talk about it. Ha.
GolfVV will be leaving for Mel’s team. Good for her. Really! As I can see she is being 打压 under such system. Sorry lo, can’t be helped. Hope she can really maximize her potential in PJI.
As hondaPeow chose to stay behind, I guess his ultimate aim to become a PE. Perhaps we can only wait till July then we will know whether there is such an opportunity for him to move up. Else, he said he lose hope in Q2 management and wanna to leave. Bottomline, we all want advancement!
Ya, so be it. I mean every individual has their own dream and passion and wants in life. When you are unable to find satisfaction in your current workplace, please move on! You know, the way you guys communicate your thought is like you are trying to brainwash us so that we think alike?? Hmmm I hope you guys are not trying to manipulate our thought and actions! I seriously hope that you won’t try to have small acts after brainwashing most of us. Hehe.. of course, everybody has his/her own freewill to decide what to take & what to reject :)
Then we talk about which tier do we belong to. hmm it's a tricky question. I believe I belong to the tier 1 as of now. I just feel sick about it. Really! Ok, shall talk to mentorC next week.
What CO said is right, one mountain cannot contain 2 tigers. Kekeke. So it would be good for individual if he/she has chosen to leave. Hehe.

KT in ShangHai ... Part II
这趟SH之行，其实也有一些感触. 感恩
这趟还不错，那些还有点名气的店都去消费了，哈哈，拜阿公所赐。
苏浙汇；渝信川菜；蜀；翡翠小吃；鼎泰丰；御庭；代官山；避风塘；新旺茶餐室；港丽；吉旺；星巴克；costa coffee；真功夫；泰妹火锅
最爱渝信的水煮鲶鱼，小黄鱼，牛蛙，旦旦面；避风塘的柚子茶；港丽的茄子肉；苏浙汇的牛丁，新旺的烧肉烧鸭，波萝油包，肥牛卷；吉旺的橄榄菜心；真功夫自家平明化的鸡肉蒸肉；好吃！这期间喝了无数的红毛咖啡，天气冷啊，所以喝热咖啡解解冻；偶尔以蛋糕代替午餐也挺好的。呵呵
与如果有机会，下回一定要尝尝以下这几间：干锅居；采蝶轩；望湘园；金茂顶层的咖啡
这城市嘛，真的太两极化。外滩换了新面貌，宽敞和干净多了；若是你有机会走走看看，经过一些小巷，你会发现还有许多了过着不是那么奢华的生活。路过一排的小房子，恰巧是午饭时间，店里曼了人，我瞧了瞧价目表，一般的价格约RMB7左右。７元就能使人温饱，真好！
再来，我看到一辆停泊在路边的摩托车，一对夫妻正在那儿现卖炒面；旁边有两个小姐坐在小椅子上享用热腾腾的果条。老实说，我有点冲动，想要买来吃，尝尝味道；但我又担心我的浪费对卖面大叔的不敬，算了，别买吧。碰巧我又机会和出租车司机谈起这事，他嘱咐我千万别乱卖，因为街道的东西都有点肮脏，吃了会泻肚子。拜托，请别误会，是他说肮脏的，我只是说好像不太卫生。呵呵。
Hmm 想想以上我才刚谈到各样的美食，价格相差数十倍，哎。无论如何，只要能三餐温饱，吃的还健康，没吃坏身子就好。所以我常觉得出差时很浪费资源；明明就不需要如此消费，我们还是花钱不眨眼，打的的次数更不胜其数，也许这是所谓的福利吧！地铁只需要RM6Ｂ但打的就花了RMB85，像话吗？
这回我在许多大道留下了足迹。呵呵。其实我蛮感恩自己住在浦东的，呵呵，早上不需要塞车，可以９时才打的去保税区，日子好咧！陆家嘴，南京东路，黄埤南路，淮海中路，徐家汇，衡山路，十六铺，豫园，世纪大道，浦东大道等。哈哈，很好玩，走得有点累。呵呵
世博2010
因着世博，上海换了新面貌，连出租车大叔都说他们花了太多钱，连高架桥都上了白色的漆，悬挂着绚丽的灯，世博口号到处都有，街上也都能看到处处有武警！我啊，乘车绕了世博场馆附近两回，大叔惊讶我为何要到泸浦大桥看看，我说因为我要看灯饰啦！呵呵。这样的消费方式还真有趣，我也让大叔绕了外滩看夜景！
那天惊心胆跳得告诉陆先生我要出去半天，哈哈，没有请假。虽然艳子说不用交代，但就是敌不过那把声音，决定通知一下陆先生。哈哈。周保和艳子协同我一同参与第一天的世博压力测试！
真的好大啊！人有多，再加上细雨，真的有点扫兴！原来虽然离开幕日期还不远，有些场馆还没有完成！要如何开幕咧?! 我们三人有点懒，看见队排得那么长，都觉得不需要参加预先开放的场馆，算了啦，看看外观也不差！周保是我们的随行摄影师，呵呵。天气不佳，照片应该没有很好，他说的。
场馆外形让我留下较好的影响的有菲律宾、中国、巴西、澳洲、西班牙、法国、瑞士、立陶宛和种子造型的英国！真的是百花齐放也！
周保还说世博的总面积是新加坡的一半！据我了解，它应该有59 kmsqr. 虽然没有进入场馆参观有点可惜，但只要你一看到那大戳的 Chinaman，你真的可以掉头打包回家啦！也许人老了，不喜欢太热闹，过度拥挤！哈
小聚
好不容易才与虾米、飞翔和音符见面。事隔数来年，我们竟然在异地相会，很难得！是上帝的呼召和爱把他们带到那儿。觉得我们都长大了，昔日的同伴如今成为上帝合用的器皿。眼前的挣扎和挑战不在话下，很开心知道他们愿意持守，秉着一颗爱神爱人的心继续前进！加油啊！
恭喜
恭喜二哥得奖啦！更高兴的是他勇于在众人面前感谢上帝！原来这样的一个小举动也能感动其他的人，所以还是好的！
- 能在Q2里学习，在技术的领域上有更多的机会和较良好的环境学习和认识新事物
- 能在马国长大；虽然不是个个语言都能掌握得很好，但至少中英文的水平还一般，能沟通干活；马来文嘛，听听还行！呵呵
- 它让我对自己更有自信心，也督促我在继续努力向上
- 它让我看到其实我有需要转换跑道的需要
- 有意外的机会与官职比我高的多的３个男人相处，吃饭；还真的很搞笑
- 我体会到有家人同在和陪伴，是多么愉快的，尤其是分享快乐的时刻
- 能用阿公的钱吃喝玩乐
- 虽然是第一次较长的时间独自公干，可以自由溜达，慢慢发掘这个大城市
- 上帝让我在异乡能继续聆听他的提醒：要记得起初的爱哦；那首Be still 更让我倍感温馨
- 它让我再思和体会relocation的问题和挑战
- 我属于BPMC，不在岛国时还蛮挂念这儿的人与事
- 有机会与少年时期的导师和一起成长的虾米和飞翔小聚

KT in ShangHai
suppose to post it when i was in SH. who knows i cant access at all.. let me recollect the memory bit by bit.. haha...
原来当CH出差时，他要专用司机。那天有机会与HK，VO和CH在车上，他们为着小小的事情讨论了老半天，想起来真的有点可笑。
到底是什么课题么？原来只是几点要让司机接他们上班，就因这各人的开会时间有差异。当他们喋喋不休的讨论着，他们忽然恍然大悟，发现其实他们只要打车去公司，干吗这么麻烦啊！这群大男人，尽然为了这种小事商讨了这么久，呵呵。CH还说，他们竟然在engineer面前这么失礼，他日该怎么服人作决策！哈哈。到最后我真的忍不住笑了出来。哈哈。
牛蛙和蜗牛
这两者还真是有点分别，真搞不清为何他老是说错，我们在座的都不好意思更正他，毕竟他是我们当中的大老板！哈
原来听说他出差时一定要吃好的；他还说上回他一人出差时，吃了几顿M。哈哈。难道就不能自个儿用餐嘛，大男人一个！呵呵
这两个星期以来吃了两次田鸡，我还是喜欢咱们的宫保和辣椒风味。麻辣的煮法，还可以！
线条围巾
蛮贴心的，因为它一点都不起眼可是它让我保护我的颈项受寒；这天气还真的有点冷，风吹起时更受不了。呵呵
VO常让人摸不着他的心思和用意。有时我觉得他很诚恳，有时我又觉得他会在你不自觉地时候在背后插你一刀。所以我的结论是：不需要与他太熟络，因为他偶尔在你不经意时会变脸。
CH
原来我还蛮会观察人的。呵呵，他们这三个男人真的很搞笑，可怜的CH，被下属拿来当笑柄都不知道，VO和HK之间是有一定的默契和心灵感应；呵呵。我这位旁观者还真的是在一边暗笑，真的很滑稽！老实说，CH还真节俭；贵为SM他出差报公帐，似乎有点违背SOBC，看似想要闪过结账的机会。呵呵。拜托，阿公的钱啊！最好笑的就是，逛完街后他还要相约其他两人一起乘出租车回酒店！天啊！我昨天差点就在避风塘那儿狂笑起来！呵呵。CH还建议他们三人到家乐福去买早餐。嗨哟，他们3人都高我至少两极，搞不懂为何CH他为何不能阔气一点啊？！
TB
原来我还蛮幸运的。他们开业4年来，这是第一个大型的Offset TB。承蒙ＣＨ的话，因为我到了上海，所以他们才有机会。呵呵。搞笑啦！他们的讨论挺有趣的，我真的是大开眼界！哎，都怪大型集装箱车惹得祸，我们最后并不能去玩ｐａｉｎｔ ｂａｌｌ！呵呵，可惜可惜！

他没有钱
昨晚的饭局还真来得有点突然。刘小姐建议我们来个ladies night，golfVV和我有幸受邀出席。想感谢上帝不是因为有免费的晚餐，而是桌上的话题很惹人深思。
A：“干嘛还不结婚呢？”
B：“他不是我想结婚的对象”
A：“那为什么还在一起呢？”
B：“因为亲情，说不出口。他脾气很坏，更糟的是他没有钱！”
C：“跟我一样，他也没有钱”
一句“他没有钱”总结了为何现代城市的女子用很逻辑的借口延迟婚约，从刘小姐的口气听来，她可真是在骑驴找马；因着习惯和不好意思，她让他继续住在她那儿。哎，这世界到底是怎么了嘛！她言谈中也流入出她想当少奶奶的渴望，过着悠闲的生活。呵呵。其实这是多数女子的梦想，她一点都没错！
难道她对他没有爱吗？眼前的爱不胜过金钱么？没钱什么都别谈了啊？！
老实说，刘小姐的条件是不错，就如她父母所说的，她应该可以找到更不错的伴侣。更妙的是，尽管她不觉得会与他有任何的将来，他的父亲偶尔会到他们家小住一个月，帮忙做做家务，煮煮饭。她一点都不介意他妈到访，她乐得很呢，因为不用做家务。呵呵。好有趣咧！
向她说了，下周与她男友一同用餐，算公司的账！呵呵
昨天我对golfVV有更深一层的认识，她原来不想出国工作，即使眼前有个QA manager 的职位，她也不为所动。更劲爆的是，我在不经意的时候从will口中知道她其实有打算申请mel那里的工作。这是可以理解的，毕竟她在WS和SCF 也的确被打压了；hmmm 适者生存啦！

最近有点累
小小Z
很为SW和Z开心，也很庆幸自己是那几个能第一时间听到好消息的人！我在想，若非是好友的话，我真的不会冲去探望他们，更不会将小宝贝抱在怀里，很高兴能够分享他们的喜乐！还是很难想象SW已经是人家的妈了！哈哈！恭喜我们成为朋友11年载！哈哈！
变
最近许多事情在变，这说明了一个道理，当你还执著者要原地踏步时，他人还是继续的移动，事情照样如常的发生，下一秒钟会发生什么事还真的说不上来！我有一些的不安，也许因为工作和人事上太多的变数，导致我缺乏一些的安全感。
接下来的挑战还得要好好地把握，不然真的会遗臭万年，呵呵。
怒
Ming2还是很如常的发牢骚，对许多事非常不满。哎，我们何德何能，哪轮到我们改变呢？觉得做人真的要谦虚一点，你别老是觉得你比人家早进公司你就比他人经验丰富，一定要踩在别人之上吗？常言道：一山还有一山高，强中自有强中手。孔子也说过：己欲立而立人，己欲达而达人
甜头
有时候我觉得大姐有点过分。明明就是我们的team building和老板给我们的半日休，她不entitle 咧，干嘛要这样欺骗公司啊，她的组员已经对她参加我们的team lunch有点不满，她还要越过界，适可而止啦！

Mighty 5
向燕窝先生打听，才知道这轮有五个人上位，当然不包括PE啦！要学习感恩哦！
又听说Q3公司的预算总算放宽了，可能会有调整和加薪哦！让我们拭目以待吧！
这个大声HK啊，今天怎么和我的服饰颜色竟然撞上了！更好笑的是，干嘛要渲染上海公干的消息嘛，若是这回草草了事，肯定名声大坏。哈哈。要尽责哦！
真好笑，怎么这么没有踏实的感觉？难道真的是虚空么？莫名其妙的issue了CWT的票，真的是无心之过，真不好意思。
看了聊斋Rocks，真的没想像的好和棒， 有点失望！故事情节不紧凑，歌曲嘛，有点太深奥，不看歌词的话，真不知他们在唱些什么，呵呵，笑死了！实践剧场45周年，第250场演出，干吗这么令人失望。也许之前的天冷就回来有着新谣的陪衬，不然票房肯定没有预期的佳！
Ric的唱功还可以，J彦嘛，比较起另一位女演员CelinaRoseTan，输了个马鼻，不过她的肢体动作还不错。黄文鸿的RAP也很好！
周末来咯！

Quotes
Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you, too, can become great.
~Mark Twain
The book of Job is a case study in worst possible scenarios. Yet Job wisely assessed God’s role in trying circumstances of loss and poor health: “He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold” (Job 23:10). From this wise statement we can learn two valuable lessons: One is that what we dread most can be used to test our character and make us stronger. The other is that God will provide the strength and comfort to see us through.
Cling to God. He has promised to work on our behalf, even in the worst possible scenario
~Dennis Fisher

回馈
宝贝终于回家了！哈！老实说，她真的很可爱，偶尔会杀出几句话让你招架不住和露出会心一笑。她说话的语气像足我们了，不知是好是坏啊！带她到IMM去，她会要你握着她的手，带她回家咧，她也要你牵他的手，很温馨咧。
今天午餐时，彪哥说我应该继续待在BPD，毕竟要回馈一下那些对我高抬贵手的人啊。我心想，难道赐福的不是上帝吗？过去我没有做牛做马么？难道我没有忍气吞声吗？我不曾埋怨么？哎，我真的是有点纳闷。我不敢说是自己努力的结果，但也不可磨灭我拼搏的辛劳啊。公平一点好不好？！
若是要试试LES也错了吗？这就算是辜负乡亲父老？我也有contribute的好不好！呵呵。
看来接下来彪哥和博哥会有些举动哦。

3日保姆
今天WFH，因为家里有个小宝贝需要姑姑来照顾，爷爷奶奶，外公外婆，爸爸妈妈都出国了！要谢谢燕窝先生允许我WFH，不然小妹可要到堂哥家去寄宿。呵呵。。。
这个周末嘛就忙着当奶妈。先是思睿，后是与晨。小小的感触是教养孩子不易，照顾他们需要很多的心思与爱心，更得做好牺牲的心理准备。想要丢下小宝宝去运动一下都不可以，你说单身好不好？可以忙着与某某某大快朵颐，与那个他们去喝杯茶，上网去买张机票到处走，喜欢就上上课，还挺写意的啊！
背酸死了，我要偷懒歇一下，还有18个小时就完成临时保姆的职责！

下一站飞哪里啊？
有时候我在想，是否因为上帝有更多的工作要我去忠心的完成，导致我得长期grounded. 逃离这玩意儿就甭想了！
这两天看似我还需要被安慰，反而我得去开解和安慰他人，很滑稽吧！似乎有许多的事等着我去经历，去处理，去完成，难道真的没有他人了吗？不可能啦，但我知道这是个奥秘，我绝对无法揣测，都说了，是奥秘！人的极限啦，传道书的作者不是已经明说了吗？呵呵
终于，这突然从天而降的ICD之战接近尾声；拉拉扯扯间脱了整2个月的时间，终于的要划上一个休止符。不愿意也不可以，毕竟结果就是如此，既然都尽上本分了，也没有什么好怨，这场战打得还蛮漂亮的！呵呵！难免会不舍不甘，但又可以怎样呢？这次的训练是为了下一仗的准备，LES之战，我要来了哦！
还是需要一些时间恢复元气再战江湖!
感谢Richard的有心， 很难得，千辛万苦终于联络到我，还绕过了燕窝先生！呵呵！感谢可爱的好友和吴氏家族在身旁的支持、关心和爱护，这些都很贴心。更感谢天父的保守，因为能经历这一切都不是枉然。
好吧，下一站飞哪里啊？公家？自费？照单全收！哈。
闷死了，怪我去过不少国家吧，想放一下假旅游都不是哪个国家有趣？哈哈。喝太多HL牛奶，过度嚣张，haolian. 大姐订了韩国，大姐大刚从香港回来，爸妈将到台湾，哥嫂要重游北京，皇后要去广州，JC和Na要游意大利和法国，我呢？恨死自己。
前阵子由于无法知道接下来几个月的动向，不能订机票、戏剧、演奏会等，无奈死了；反而当可以定下心去订购是，寥寥无几！Hmph不订了！就当为自己省省钱吧！
还有还有，眼前是有机会的！哈哈。所以万事互相效力，叫爱上帝的人得益处，就是按他旨意被召的人。
这两天看似我还需要被安慰，反而我得去开解和安慰他人，很滑稽吧！似乎有许多的事等着我去经历，去处理，去完成，难道真的没有他人了吗？不可能啦，但我知道这是个奥秘，我绝对无法揣测，都说了，是奥秘！人的极限啦，传道书的作者不是已经明说了吗？呵呵
终于，这突然从天而降的ICD之战接近尾声；拉拉扯扯间脱了整2个月的时间，终于的要划上一个休止符。不愿意也不可以，毕竟结果就是如此，既然都尽上本分了，也没有什么好怨，这场战打得还蛮漂亮的！呵呵！难免会不舍不甘，但又可以怎样呢？这次的训练是为了下一仗的准备，LES之战，我要来了哦！
还是需要一些时间恢复元气再战江湖!
感谢Richard的有心， 很难得，千辛万苦终于联络到我，还绕过了燕窝先生！呵呵！感谢可爱的好友和吴氏家族在身旁的支持、关心和爱护，这些都很贴心。更感谢天父的保守，因为能经历这一切都不是枉然。
好吧，下一站飞哪里啊？公家？自费？照单全收！哈。

Nothing new in the wilderness
Oh man, I am feeling guilty. We were discussing about Ming2 just now.
Hmm it wasn’t appropriate but apparently more people start to get annoyed with her increasingly aggressiveness and grumbling. Not only within our group, but with external party too. It is interestingly that DirectPeow used ‘dirt’ as to how ming2 treats others. The urge and thirst to move up is getting more and more evident till most can tell that she wants to be the no. 1 in R&SS team, of course that can only happen when JA decided to kiss goodbye to his long-time company.
We tried to rank in term of ‘anger management’, ming2 top the list especially for the ladies. Hmm we all have higher threshold so we learn to OK with it but others will not give it a damn. So I hope as the days go by, she can learn to control her temper.
Why tell the whole world that you’re OT-ing? The harsh fact is no one will agree that now it is the crunch time and thus, no OT need. All our bosses know it! Can you just blame it on your incapability in managing your time? You can always come on office earlier, not in the sense 7am but right on the official working hour which is 8.30am; or leave on the dot and not earlier? We all feel blessed that this is an environment whereby we are given the freedom to be flexible, as long as we deliver what we should. It would be fairer if you’re really overloaded and the existing 40 hrs/week is just too little for you to finish your work.
Concerning under band matter, please… no one will go around and shout how satisfied they are with the remuneration package, take it or leave it. No point telling us as we can do nothing about it. Each individual should find his/her own way to convince herself for the stay. We are not ah-Q, just that most of us learn to rub it in.
Hoho, I hope ming2 can find her heaven soon, be it here or out there. Hope she gets well soon since she suffers a backache due to too much sleep during weekend :)
^^^^
Heard Kathy has a lump around her neck. If it is not treated properly, it will affect her limp and neural system. Oops, sad for her. She has been very kind to mo and the family during their Edmonton stay. Mo made a remarks saying that Kathy’s greatest gift and purpose in her life is to be an angel and been taking good care of others. Hmm hope God sustain the whole family and uncle Al. Hmm…
^^^^^
It is very true that everyone will plan for themselves. To our surprise Ms Roro will be going over to SPILC, we were still worried that upon the contract termination, she will be jobless. Really, good for her to secure a more stable job. What’s more with the positive test recently. Double happiness.

Pop corn time!
The recent EXP interview was pretty amusing. As what dajie said, we can sit back, get a popcorn, and watch the drama! Ha.
I thought DirectPeow was quite daring. Well, he could be the dark horse!! He jokingly said he wants to be the dark horse in Yellow background! You know what is that? Ha. I was sharp enough to pick up that not so direct cold joke.
Back to the 2:1 interview. UncleDennis and MaskyThng were the interviewers. MaskyThng was sick so he actually had a mask on. Ha. DirectPeow was blunt and brave enough to throw questions back to both them.
1. Why would you want to lump MHI with MMCMP together? Technically they are two different things. MHI is an initiative while MMCMP is a skill set.
> MaskyThng clarified that MHI is just part of it, the bulk of the responsibilities is still with MMCMP. UncleDennis agreed that the drafted job scope was pretty similar to what dajieda is currently doing, in a way this is to show some respect to her. *Oops. Then why do we need a EXP opening? You might as well appoint people to be the one. Chey.*
2. If today DirectPeow is the black horse, isn’t that they need someone who has high EQ to talk to dajieda as she needs to step down for DirectPeow?
> UncleDennis has not thought of that yet. Ha. *speechless*
3. How come this TRDw thing is not known to me? I only knew about something to do with inspector?
> DirectPeow answered: How would I know. Ha.
Apparently there is some communication breakdown. ha. side note. I heard this over the radio this morning. It is important to have good and frequent communication but it is also important to know when to stop.
MaskyThng must be cheekily an-chou-ing behind the mask. Ha. DirectPeow said UncleDennis is quite 老奸巨猾 while MaskyThng is much more soft spoken. Ha.
I just felt that all these interviews is actually a strategy game. Depending on who the interviewers are, you need to carefully craft the special strategy to better show off your strength, attack your opponent subtly and hit the right cum sweet spot of the interviewers.
I would say at this stage of life, my 沉浮and 心机is not as 深, as in when I compare with others. To me, I am just much more simple minded, you can call me dumb or whatever. Ha. It just did not occur to me that I want to manipulate the conversation, the thought etc.

C'est la vie
It has been quite a eventful series for me to think deeper and realize that how unfathomable and vulnerable life can be. I am truly shocked and at the same time, thankful for what I have now.
Shangz
It was rather last min and impromptu. I didn’t know that she went thru that much and I am glad that she found her God at her wits end. It has not been easy for her to cope with the rare kidney transplant and the harsh break up after that. Worst still, she almost lost her 10k to an unreliable colleague. Thankful she managed to retrieve the money back.
I see the stronger side of her. She was frank enough to tell me that she just got out of her 4 years of depression. To me, she doesn’t look like she has gone through that much, probably due to her ‘party’ outlook. I am surprised!!!!
For every storm in her life, God sustains her and praise the Lord that God has again brought her back to Him, soften her heart and learn to trust God to carry her thru every problem. Now she seems to be tougher and able to encourage and empathize with others. In retrospect, you can also say that she become numb or immune to the other issues, not because she has a bigger and stronger heart and mind to withstand all these but she has learnt to take it easy.
Oh, she will be jobless soon, in 3 days time. Hope she can find a better place for career advancement. Nice time spending with her and because of her, I tasted the yummy salmon belly miso soup, yumz.
QingMei
2 weeks ago, Poh told me QM just gave birth to 2nd child last Dec. Poh called me again in a weak voice which scared me. QM died in an accident last Saturday. I didn’t know what to say, I just feel sad. How could that be happening! Poh was saying it is unimaginable that such incident can actually happen around us! I agree. Later YW told me that the mum was on the car too, unconscious now.
I knew QM since form6 days. She always tried to put up a strong front and maybe that’s her character! Her dad passed away during first day of CNY and that was when she was in form 5. She has been quite 纯朴 all this while. She has lots guy friends which really amaze all of us. She is just so boy-ish, not that she is tomboy but her character is very guy-like. In fact, she is the oldest among our clique as she was born on 2nd Jan. Ironically I was the youngest yet I have the biggest build. Isn’t that weird we call her Qing妹instead of Qing姐?
I am unsure how her surviving husband and kids will be in future. I hope time will heal and they can slowly accept the fact. I am worrying about her young kids yet I am unable to help at all.
She is just 32 y/o and near 2 mths before she met the accident. Isn’t that young? Good bye, Qing Mei!
“Shoe size” Nest
I am actually proud that I am an asset owner. Ha. Though I was forced to own it at first. Still, thankful for the fact that I need to own it. OK, there was a GCF gathering at my place last Saturday. Glad and honored to have so many uncles and aunties visiting my humble nest. The amusing part is I got a crude and blunt question from one of them. She was caught surprised that how small my unit is, and its market value.
It is simply unbelievable for her to see such a small unit? I mean I understand that most, if not all of them stay in either landed or condo apartment, but why are some of them so shocked about the size of HDB? Aren’t at least 80% of the Singapore residents stay in HDB? Even if you stay in private placement, can’t be that you never ever any other HDB before? I don't really find it offensive but rather, amusing.
Rev He talked about ‘基督徒经商’, I felt embarrassed. Most of them are already retired and isn’t that obvious that the topic was meant for younger alumni? There wasn’t many of us around. I am in no position to question why is that so.. but I just sensed the bitterness in them. In some ways, we upset them as they have tried their best to better accommodate us with our needs. Well, it happens.
No matter how, I am glad I am able to host them :) and I am happily staying in my shoe size nest!
ECC
Due to the need in DG, we have to dig our heads in Ecc. Somehow I felt that God is speaking to me. All the effort spent chasing after wind is actually meaningless. There is nothing new under the sun. things happen, history repeats itself, and ultimately one thing which we all have to face is death. No one is exceptional.
Each is accountable to their deeds and words on the judgement day (ch 12).Even then it does not mean that our lives are futile. The preacher has clearly advise us to enjoy our fruit of labour and fear the Lord in our daily life. Receive whatever God gives us (Gifts) in thanksgiving and gratitude, walking in the light of God. And remember your creator!
ahTat just told me he was at QM’s wake last weekend. He said we just got to cherish what we have today and do not be fearful.

Wind blow wind
Actually it is very obvious, recently the wind is kind of strong in BPD despite the hot and humid weather in Singapore!!!
Apparently people start to plan for their future. even GolfVV is one of them. ha. Today she dressed so smart till we know that she is going for interview. Ha. come on, please, K session does not require you to dress in long shirt and pant. keke.. and with make up on!
Ah well, so be it.
I mean with this kind of people movement, it sometimes creates opportunity. why not??? so is that a sign again saying that God will put a stop to my N steps to ICD? I am not sure.
2 days ago Birdnest outline to me that the latest VC and it requires my involvement in the arch phase. Ah well, what level of involvement ler? much effort? little effort? ha. sounds like the soy fruit bar advertisement. Satelite team in Shanghai? it sounds good. Job is definitely pretty secured but what kind of satisfaction we want? hoho...individual has different needs.
Next week is the new opening window for advancement. Hmm is that a sign again??? Telling me that whichever path i am taking, it would be a specialist role? hoho...
DirectPeow could be the black horse. Good for him to advance to next round. To be very honest, i am quite sick of the IHM term. We all know NO knobs and ya, more of barrier removal. Please don't torture us anymore. Ha. Either DirectPeow or TeeTee, whoever get advanced is good.
Let see who get to advance first? haha. it's still a myth. Only God knows who is the next one :)

Be Still
The Isolation Chamber By Os Hillman
Be still and know that I am God.... - Psalm 46:10
There is a time and place in our walk with God in which He sets us in a place of waiting. It is a place in which all past experiences are of no value. It is a time of such stillness that it can disturb the most faithful if we do not understand that He is the one who has brought us to this place for only a season. It is as if God has placed a wall around us. No new opportunities--simply inactivity.
During these times, God is calling us aside to fashion something new in us. It is an isolation chamber designed to call us to deeper roots of prayer and faith. It is not a comfortable place, especially for a task-driven workplace believer. Our nature cries out, "You must do something," while God is saying, "Be still and know that I am God." You know the signs that you have been brought into this chamber when He has removed many things from your life and you can't seem to change anything. Perhaps you are unemployed. Perhaps you are laid up with an illness.
Most religious people live a very planned and orchestrated life where they know almost everything that will happen. But for people in whom God is performing a deeper work, He brings them into a time of quietness that seems almost eerie. They cannot say what God is doing. They just know that He is doing a work that cannot be explained to themselves or to others.
Has God brought you to a place of being still? Be still and know that He really is God. When this happens, the chamber will open soon after.

finding you RooTs
I enjoyed the lesson by Rev Francis Wong. Yes, it is very chinese based and it actually uses those terms which I was quite familiar with during the good old days in secondary school. haha.
I am thankful for the chinese roots and culture and probably brief education i had in my studies. It helps me to better appreciate the rich heritage which our ancestors has passed down for years. I am not too sound in my literature, even my colleagues are surprised that i know pretty little on those classic. ha.
oh, when he mentioned about the 春联, i miss my caligraphy days!! Imagine when we were still young, we actually pasticipated in the caligraphy competitions every year. dad, brother, sis and myself will just join. Kekek.. so fun!!!!
With the advent of technology, we hardly practise this tradition. what a waste!!! With just a simple click away, you can get whatever clause you want in the font you desire and it is not necessary in Black! whoohoo... is it a curse or a blessing?

People Movement
Nic just left. Good for him as he has found another greener patch out there :)
To my surprise, this morning he passed me a movie ticket for showing his gratitude! He thanked me for 'bring'ing him in. hoho, i felt a bit paiseh. the current workplace has not been a best fit for him as i think he can perform better elsewhere, with his calibre. Yes, he was a dean-list person!!! AND he actually completed his master with company sponsorship. bond free :)
Definitely Nic wont be the last one to leave. Heard sara left too. hoho.. and i discovered my moti left also!!! oh man!!!! ha.
Recently mrMark had a new directive which is to oust those contract workers (>2yrs). it is kind of cruel ah. In this 现实world, is $$ the only concern? so sad.
Therefore with people leaving, we may not have rack for perm HC but ETW. sighhh... where is the career path ler? recently ming2 said she just wants to hire a technician to take instructions and free her from those not so important cum tedious job.
Well, i just have this sentiment, as we try our very best to climb the corporate ladder, be it a PE or Mgr, we should learn to think for others. Juniors or new hires also need opportunity to grow and learn, how can we deprive them and add our inconvenience to them? 己所不欲，勿施于人. We wont be 100% selfless but we should at least give others some chances to grow. Aren't we given those opportunities by our seniors when we were still pretty junior? I dunno.
Anyway, i just heard that HR changed the policy recently. If you left company, your record (years of service etc) will be reset, even if it is an internal transfer! Another horror part is you have to sell all the stock options and shares you have!! wowo, muscleOng is lucky. the share px is actually pretty decent now. USD51+
I am unsure what would it be if IT happens...
Yeah, did some C programming these 2 days. pretty fun. my brain got rusted. cham. imagine i proclaim i am a CE grad. hahah
Off for a swim soon :)

We wont be 100% selfless but we should at least give others some chances to grow. Aren't we given those opportunities by our seniors when we were still pretty junior? I dunno.
Anyway, i just heard that HR changed the policy recently. If you left company, your record (years of service etc) will be reset, even if it is an internal transfer! Another horror part is you have to sell all the stock options and shares you have!! wowo, muscleOng is lucky. the share px is actually pretty decent now. USD51+
I am unsure what would it be if IT happens...
Yeah, did some C programming these 2 days. pretty fun. my brain got rusted. cham. imagine i proclaim i am a CE grad. hahah
Off for a swim soon :)

N-6 & N-7
N-6
I was still pretty troubled on what my dress code be. Hee... in the end, I wore my Tommy Hilfiger top and H&M denim jacket.
So Richard looked like Roberto Benigni, my favourite French director cum actor in life is beautiful (La Vie est belle). Richard actually had his spec on, hmm a bit different from my imagination! He actually made full use of his 1hr by kicking off with introduction and the process. Then… he started to shoot. Shoot is a strong word, ha. He is quite kind and 慈祥 actually. He clarified on certain issues politely. Oh man, the moment he told me Joan is the master, I was a bit panicked as I think chief engineers always ask tough but fundamental Qs… some more is physics…
Talking about the growth in the next 5 years is challenging. Not to mention when you need to itemize and list down your achievements, innovation, team work, challenges, behavioral thinking etc. I must say it was quite mental draining. I can hear my stomach actually growled as the first hour passed.
Interesting they are open to talk about the relocation package. I share my concern on the intermediate vs specialist. I thank God for the courage to put that across. Well, one comforting fact is Richard agreed that the WS opening is a specialist level job. So that is his AI :)
Thank God, it was enriching. I gave my up most best to it already!
N-7
To my surprise, Joan wasn’t someone who is senior in age and a fat guy. Instead, he is quite a good looking, tall master!! Whoohoo… he brought along his Macbook. Cool, are all the masters like that? So young?!
He knew that I must have exhausted. Ha. Good la, it was pretty casual and relaxing. Thank God that he is a nice guy too, he bother to repeat his statements and probe further. He kept emphasizing that he want to ask various aspects which I may not know but not too worry since he just want to have a good idea on how much I know. Ha.
The moment he mentioned ‘dynamics’ and modeling. Oops, I know I am going to 玩蛋 le. Hehe… I just be frank to him that I know little about modeling since we always use brute force (暴利插置法) & trial and error method. Well, luckily I manage to blurt out the PPS which is the keyword. Else, hard to imagine. Haha… then he asked me about the pipeline flow. Phew, the past learning actually help me to better appreciate the whole workflow. The 3sigma and PQ prediction Q almost scare me away. Thanks to the previous mysterious white speckles issue, I know that bad nozzle does not translate to bad PQ. Bingo!! Hehehe… then it’s on lots ICC profile thing. Waaa… can’t imagine that I am still able to utilize those aged info and learning from Dr Zhang.
I realize one thing. I still like those color workflow and customer interactions. Something different from what I am working on now. haha…
Today I found out that I actually spoke wrongly on the ICC profile. Tsk tsk. Well, I wasn’t trying too hard to smoke Joan. I remember I keep emphasizing to him that ‘if my memory never fail me..it should be….” hehe…
Joan ended by telling me that it’s up to Richard now. Hmm does that mean I clear his? Haha… dunno.
All in all, I am grateful and thankful. So I am granted the technical meet up which I asked from God. What is next? I will know soon in 2-3 weeks time. Oh man… there may be another few hurdles to cross in whichever case.
I dunno. I am scared but I have been telling myself I got to accept whatever the outcome is and trust that God always make the right decision for all.
I love Halo room :)) Halo ROCKS!

N-4-1
好不容易等到了个消息。等的过程真不好受！因为我几乎不懂得该如何走下去，因为被悬挂在半空；要打消念头不是不可以，而是要有比较明确的暗示明示嘛，不然如何心死啊？
Step # N-4
After some thought, I wrote to Sara to check the status. I can still remember vividly the whole scenario that day. I was so scared and nervous upon clicking Sara’s mail. To be very honest, I got to have the courage to accept the outcome. The waiting days has been real lousy, you just don’t have any motivation to do others but to wait for the notification. Be it good or bad, at least there is something.
Tata, she said Richard will contact me on Friday or this week. OK, The waiting prolongs but thankfully I have got some sort of confirmation.
I can hardly imagine how my day would be if the mail turn out not to be in favour of me. As much as I can try my very best to prepare self for the worst, I seriously hope it can be smooth sailing. Richard actually dropped me a mail last Friday :) so two F2Fs are in the line waiting for me. Ha.
Many thanks to msJC to help to rephrase the q to Sara. I am simply too blunt.
What's next?! Step #N-5 = N-4-1
God actually places angels around to encourage and help. I am deeply moved and grateful to those gifts. Mel has kindly brief me ICD stuffs and showed me the org chart. For that moment, I am truly shocked and speechless. This is very diffferent from ICS and BPD. Mel asked me one question which I fail to answer. What kind of growth i see in myself in BPD? wowow, i am sure birdnest may not be able to answer that too. Then again, since i have been in SCF for 3.5 years, i should know. ha. Else how to lead the group? how timely it is!
Told msJC about it and she said isn't that what i expect to see? Ha. yahor,maybe I have not gone that far in worrying that aspect.
Then willT helped to brief me on the kind of technical stuffs. Wowo, i reliase how little i know and how am I going to boast about myself? well, bible teaches us not to boast too mcuh about self. God is the determiner and ya, if it is of God's will, He will take care of that.
I may go ahead and write my plans with pencil and i should also let God have the eraser
Guess what, i start to dream and imagine what will happen next? AM i thinking too much? I dunno. Eh, i am just wondering, can i just dream wildly for these 2 weeks and then, pray for a calm and obedient heart when the reality reveals itself.
jiayou jiayou!! DO your part, give your best!!!

Quest for Immortality
Visited an exhibition @ National Museum of Singapore -> Quest for Immortality - The World of Ancient Egypt
To my surprise, there were quite a number of visitors!!! Didn’t know that many like to frequent museum. Ha. So it is so unlikely that it will be in my agenda.
Ancient Egypt has always been a myth to me and little that I know that it was eventually under Rome empire! It all started with the outer court where we see lots of incomplete statues. As what JC said, why are they not showing us the actual picture so that we can have a better appreciation on the actual image?! *Nod nod* I agree. Ha.
According to the lady tour guide, Egyptians like to associate themselves with God and animal, this is different from Asian. They believe that the King exhibit certain attribute of some animal like falcon and lion. Horus is some sort of God with a falcon head. And guess what, he is the one who will be waiting for you at the judgement day, assessing if your heart either heavier/lighter than a feather on the weighing scale.
I learn something new. The scarab. It is some kind of bug, 圣虫 which is placed on top the ‘heart’ of the corpse. The purpose is to protect the heart so that it can speak the right thing when it comes to Horus on judgement day. How interesting!
The drawing & painting on coffin itself is also interesting. You know what, the drawing is actually based on decease’s ideal face. It’s like how this person want to look like when they are in another world. Menu are inscribed in those plate and you need magic to turn those items into food for the decease. Also, Egyptian emphasis alot on their ritual and proper burial. The mummification process is quite interesting too. Those important body parts are placed inside 4 special jars, to be buried together with the mummy.
Do you know why is it called Mummy? It’s actually originated from Iran and because when they first discovered the mummy, it is black in color and they thought it is tar. In Iranian language, Mummy is the word for tar :)
One more interesting fact about the rites. Some figurines are buried together with the mummy. The number of figurines who served as servants can be up to 401. Why 401? 365 servants for each day, and 36 overseers for each group of ten servants. Ha.
The lady guide was saying how blessed is the servant since they only need to work one day each year. Hehe... well, not many Egyptian can afford that much of money for rituals et others.
I would say it definitely worth the money and time :) http://www.nationalmuseum.sg/nms/nms_html/nms_content_6c.asp?content_template=4&content_id=23&tab_id=23&cine_id=2360&fest_id=0
Oya, there’re other exhibition at the upper level. The showcase of photo shoot on Singapore landscape are quite good also. I am not a good photographers but i am really wonder how they manage to capture such moment in artistic way!
The paper bag exhibition brings you back to the 80s where most shops like CK Tang, Robinson has their own kind of style paper bag,. How time flies and how technology has evolved, we are into the ‘plastic’ era!! Gone are the days of paper bags. Kekek...
Ok, it’s educational and enriching :)

Currently it is still N-3. When will it become N-4 uh?
