what 3G?

My first 3G experience was anything but 3G. It's not even 2G....it's nothing... when I can't even make calls. My reception bar is nil. I spent last night and most of today trying to talk things out with the singtel people, only with them insisting that my connection has been set up and that I haven't logged in. I followed all their instructions, what with taking my sim card out numerous times, charging my phone to the brim and they even came up with silly suggestions that maybe my area is causing the phone to have no reception. What rubbish leh....

And how could they deactivate my 2G sim when the 3G wasn't even ready? So the final conclusion is that my new sim card is faulty and they have replaced a new one and it needs another freaking one more day before I can see IF it works. I have lost faith....I hope no one important calls me...this is so fucked up.

This just shows how bloody dependent I am on my phone. Am now using my dad's number and don't think I'm dao if I don't reply any messages. Cos I can't see any.

我們的紀念日

我的心忽然又活了

總在見到你的那一刻

原來我也有過這樣的激動

只是在習慣自我保護後　忘了... 想聊的故事太長了

反而就都沉默的笑著 金色陽光灑在你雙手上頭

看起來好暖讓我想緊緊握著


這是我們的紀念日　紀念我們開始對自己誠實 願意為深愛的人　

放棄驕傲　說少了你生活淡的沒有味道 這是美麗的紀念日　

紀念我們能重新認識一次 有些事要流過淚才看的到　

不求完美愛的更遠　要過的更好



我用寂寞來懲罰我　看著你走過　

要什麼當時不說 此刻能有你傾聽我　

心情的轉折　 那是種告解以後　讓人想哭的快樂

ridiculously expensive wishlist

As of now, I have two items on my wish list and together they cost close to $2k. Extremely material for a poor soul like me.

And well they are just wants, not needs and I can do without item A for a long time to come....item B I can do without too but I would like to have it asap for some practical reasons.

So that leaves item B! :)

I'll work towards it.

Sick at home

Had a really bad cough for the whole of last week and I thought I recovered by the beginning of this week cos the cough kind of subsided...but the first 3 days of undue stress did its toil on me and now I landed myself with the full package - flu+cough. And it was totally unnecessary but of course I can't predict the future else I won't have tried to work myself to death to meet with the unrealistic deadline. On Thursday morning, the client decided they couldn't deliver (and neither could we when we were the ones being pushed at the beginning) and they called off the interim 6 months audit...when I was already half-way drowning in my sections. Brilliant isn't it. So we packed up our stuff, left the client's place (the only good thing was that the place was just a freaking 5 min ride from my home) and went back office. Knew I would be arrowed once more and I was already too sick then, I told the AO I'm gonna take mc. For half of yesterday and today.

So here I am at home with my still-runny nose and a really bad throat. Watched 'Click' in the afternoon and it was just another typical feel-good family-man-has-it-all-but-decided-to-squander-his-life-away-with-a-powerful-remote control-that-controls-his-life-instead-of-the-other-way-round. Then he regrets but it still ends nicely cos right at the beginning, there was already a hint that this show ain't gonna end tragically. But boy would I love to have that remote. Ha it would be quite nice to mute my managers altogether.

Kill me already

I have been coughing non-stop. Especially in the early morning and nightfall and I am still drinking tea and eating spicy food. How's that gonna help? It was a sore throat that evolved into a whooping cough. I didn't see a doc though...the temptation to get an mc was extremely enticing. But I gotta save my mcs for rainy days. Sigh. So when I'm actually sick, I will live with it and drag myself to work.

This week ain't half as bad cos it was all brainless chores. Next week onwards I'll be complete dead meat. I'll know it once I'm at the client's place. But the prelude is hereby preparing me for the very worst. My first job as a second year assistant. Argh. Greater responsibilities with sections I have never done before. And not sure if there will be a nice soul to guide me should the need arise or I'll just end up screwing up the job. Lovely isn't it. Think inventory and deferred taxes. I was nodding off during trainings so kill me.

I can't believe that it was only last week that I was having fun in Taipei. It seemed eons ago.

Dead Man's Chest

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has a rather unsatisfying ending. Never mind that I badly needed to go the loo plus enduring a cough that won't go away. However it was a good thing that channel five showed Pirates 1 as yours truly didn't catch it when it was in the theatres else I would have been just a little lost. As was my friend who missed Pirates 1 too. Johnny Depp was a joy to watch especially when he was uttering gibberish to a bunch of cannibals and fluttering those painted eyes of his. And of course the fruit fiasco where papayas, watermelons and what not were flung all over the place from what looked like a kebab stick with Depp stuck in the middle. Orlando was a doll as usual but Depp stole the limelight naturally cos he was simply too hilarious. And Keira Knightley got to smooch the two leads in this sequel. Lucky girl indeed


And I saw Spidey 3 trailer!!! I'm so happy since Superman was disappointing. I think I'll just end up comparing all such comic-related movies to spidey since I personally enjoy Spiderman alot and the others seemed to pale in comparison aka boring.

On the whole I enjoyed the movie although I found it a little too long, perhaps due to my uncomfortable state and also that ending (why?????). Do stay till the credits roll finish...and when is Pirates 3 coming?

Note: The middle portion are potential spoilers that might hurt your eyes as with the colour of the font.

arrowfied

I don't know why I kena so many arrows this week, okay in fact it started from last week when I was recalled back to work from my negative toil (which I rather work than take). I was pushed into a job that was half-done with alot of outstanding points. Furthermore I was the third person to take over the job and needless to say, I was totally lost on the first day, trying to grasp what the other people were doing before me and it didn't help that the senior was clueless about what her other assistants have done. Brilliant isn't it. This is all too familiar. I was doing it half-heartedly not knowing that I would kena direct review by the manager. Brilliant again for she raised her voice at me even though it was no fault of mine. It was only when I reasoned with her that she lowered her volume. Argh.

Midweek I pulled out of the job and thought I could breathe but NO, I kena some admin shit which was to update the soft copies of a dozen companies and also to zap the what-nots in the files. Might as well zap the whole file. It didn't kill my brain cells but it was very tedious. And very straining on my poor eyes. Thank goodness for the intern. I was quite optimistic and thought that we could finish all FY02-05 (three bleeding years' worth of audit) stuff by this week but turned out we couldn't. But it was thankful that the senior didn't insist else I foresee myself not going home tonight.

I'm so very tired. Perhaps I should have just taken mc on Thursday and give myself some well-deserved rest before I fly in some twelve hours' time. Gotta go try to make sure that all my stuff are in the luggage and dammit...I forgot to buy saline. Drats!
