Fried Dumping Noodle??

Anybody care for some fried dumpling noodle? or rather fried DUMPING noodle?? ><

Update

Haven't had the time and energy to update this space for the past couple of weeks. Actually nothing much to update also. Well, except for work and more work (which I've had just about enough).

This week was even more hectic though. Had to rush work in office and attend Kickoff Meeting at Rasa Sentosa. It was tiring but fulfilling and it was definitely an eye-opener for me. Good experience. Managed to meet the regional people face to face instead of the normal phone calls. Now that I've met them, I can finally put a face to the name when we have to liaise more in the future.

And yesterday, I left office at 6.30pm! Its been a long time since I got to see daylight when leaving office. Ha! And and, I finally got to meet LQ! Felt really bad for not spending enough time with her for the past few weeks. Just the sight of her brought a smile to my face :) And and and, thanks to LQ's constant 'nagging', I managed to push myself to finish the 1st out of 14 chapters for my Business Analysis module! That should get my momentum going. Oh, and thanks so much for the coffee too *wink*

Finally some good news at work. Heard from my boss that BC's replacement will be in mid-Nov. *sigh of relief* With the new person on board, I can finally pass over some work to her (i think). That should give me some breathing space and set my mind in peace before I go on leave for my exams on 6 & 12 Dec. :)

Praying for my nightmare to be over soon....

Wasting time


I have exactly 56 days to get all these drilled into my brain if I want to pass my coming exams in December. -.-"

Just like frenfren who has been wasting time on Facebook, playing with April, watching SCV channel 55 instead of doing report, I too am guilty of not putting in enough effort in my studies. Instead of studying, I am here blogging. Instead of studying, I've just spent the last 60mins watching some oldies drama series on CH8. And instead of studying, all I can think of is sleeping now.

I desperately need to pass my exams and move on to the next stage....otherwise I think I might just give up. Maybe the approval of my sponsorship application will spur me on.

STOP SITTING ON MY APPLICATION AND JUST APPROVE IT WILL YOU!?!?

NO FAIR

Okay, I am officially sick of work. Work late, slog like crap, miss classes, foregone so many more impt things in life just trying to be a responsible worker and meet deadlines. But what do I get? MORE WORK, people taking things for granted blah blah blah. Its simply not worth it.

"Eh Alvin, you know the thing which you asked me to do yesterday? My boss ask you to do instead leh. So when can you give me huh?" Really felt like raising my voice at her and wiping that irritating smug look off her face. Some people just earn their paycheck by sitting in office (in fact come to think of it, I hardly see her at her desk -.-), walk here walk there, talk here talk there, asking people to do their jobs for them while they just sit and wait for things to happen and leave on the dot at 5.30pm. Now tell me you can swallow this?

Crappy senior management (or good for nothings shielded by crappy snr mgt) always get away with things while people like us always have to pick up the shit - or should I say their shit ('kio sai' in hokkien) Well anyway work is NEVER fair lah. Only God is...ALWAYS.

P.S: Sorry for leaving you out of the picture for so long. Didn't realise what I've been losing out for the past one mth plus until now. Please forgive me.

Top 5

Drumroll...............
Ladies & Gentlemen, boys & girls, children of all ages...ok ok cut the crap. Just trying to destress abit here..

I've been wanting to blog about this since like forever but haven't had the 'flair' or mood to do so. Now that I have a bit of time, why not? So here goes..my top 5..
Oh oh just so you know, in case you're reading this post and happen to fall into one of the categories, it doesn't make me love you any lesser okay. Just that I have lower tolerance for these people. Totally my fault and areas which I have to work on.
So lets start the countdown...

5. ACM aka Act Cute Monsters
The header speaks for itself. Well, I'm not saying that people cannot act cute or try to be funny at times, but not too often PLEASE.Some people just don't know when to stop when it matters. Got to learn how to "kua seh" you know?

4. People who takes their own sweet times at ATM machines, totally oblivious of the long queue behind them. Worse still, they don't feel paiseh at all lor. -.- And oh, you don't let your kids meddle with the ATM machines at all times alright? There was once I queued behind this malay auntie with her 4 daughters crowding around the ATM and a big pram parked right in front of me. I waited for a good 10 mins I tell you. Maybe they should set a limit to the number of transactions or some timer or something. Really gets on my nerves these people, especially when I'm in a hurry...

3. People who constantly overindulge in self pity, chooses not to do anything about it and behaves as if the whole world has let him/her down. Tsk tsk tsk...irritating..

2. People who always has to have the last say in everything, yes EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, such people happen to exist at my workplace. My way of 'handling' such people - ignore them totally. :)

1. People who knows NOTHING but pretends that they know EVERYTHING. There's a hokkien saying: "Kiang jiu ho, mai gei kiang" Simply don't understand why some people just cannot admit their ignorance. Really beats me. Maybe that's why these people gets on my nerves the most...

Having said so much, there are of course lessons which I have to learn. Lessons of being more patient and loving. Lacking a lot of these lately. Guess I don't handle pressure that well after all.

Ok, shall continue with my other Top 5s some other time..

When will replacement be in??

Its that time of the month again..NO NO NO I don't mean what the girls go through every month but rather I'm referring to the month end closing instead >< This time worse, financial year end closing. So the senior management are very anxious over the numbers blah blah blah. Been working till almost 11pm for the past couple of days and yes, I missed my classes again! Hai like that how to pass exams...need to start revision once my yr end closing is over mid of next week.

I really hope my dept can get BC's replacement in soon. Its been already 2 closings on my own. Need to do my own stuff as well as cover for BC's area. And plus this time round got to come up with the financials required for to track the awards to be given out at the Kick Off Meeting in 2 weeks time. Somemore so many people asking me:" Alvin, when will the numbers be ready ah? I need them for my presentation leh, its urgent.." I got so many deadlines to meet, but only got 2 hands, 2 eyes and a brain. Now everyone is telling me their things are urgent.. -.- Feel like telling them:" Urgent go toilet lor.."

Wish I can blog about more interesting stuff but I'm kind brain dead. Some other time perhaps. Going to sleep soon, gotta reach office at 7am tomorrow. zzzzzzzzzz
