Quote of the day : Clinique invisible skin remover........for when you really want to show off your cranium!

I got the blues

I got the M-O-N-D-A-Y blues.

My tickets are booked and I'm lookin forward to visiting the Pearl of the Orient. Not Phillipines, not Bangalore, not some fancy seafood restaurant but Hong Kong. Thoughts and images of a ricktety old budget airline aircraft flash through my mind. I'll have to get back to you guys on the actual flight. It's about a month away but it's still worth looking forward to.

KAI! WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS?

Wierd headlines which I came accross today while keeping myself abreast with current issues and getting paid at the same time. "Fraudster sells Indian PM's residence on Web site". What was the buyer thinking? It took the Indian intelligence department to figure it out. Another eye catching headline would be "Restaurant fined for throwing out kissing lesbians". Well, the world is changing and Elton John is getting married whether you like it or not.

KAI! IF YOU'RE READING THIS, WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS?

Thats a wrap. Gonna turn in, maybe dream of something nice and then wake up to the horrid reality of WORK!

Quote of the day : Women want a man that is like a purse: looks good on your arm, carries your things, and hopefully matches your shoes. I want a woman who's like a good pair of shoes: looks good, provides support, and doesn't recite stupid analogies.

Any idea how the Pope gets his name?

One more dreary day to go. TGIF! This work thing is quite working out as I expected. Yea, there are perks I guess but one thing that really irritates me is the fact that efficiency is not recognised. If I finish my work fast, I look like I have nothing to do. It's not that I don't wanna do more work but the other staff seem to think I have nothing to do. I do have nothing to do, I already finished doing what you asked me to do. Why doesn't anybody get it?

Anyways, I was reading up on the pope and stuff. He is hardcore stuff. He wants all altars to face east. Good thing he doesn't want em to face Mecca. How da hell do they pick their names? Benedict the 16th. Why not John Paul the 3rd? Why not Doug the 1st?

School has picked up once again and exam results are out. One good way to describe my results is like a pair of boobs. Double Ds to be exact! Both the new tutors are geeks but the one that teaches International Trade seems better. The other is just a walking computer. Geekazoid. Not surpirsingly, he masters in artificial intelligence. Even the way he talks sounds like a computer. I can PROMPT you to do your assignments. Bah! He even expects us to pass up the tutorial work. We ain't in school anymore! This is freakin tertiary learning.

Aite, enough ranting. Not been a great day but I successfully managed to look busy by completing my school work.

Quote of the day : I want hard drives so small I can snort them up like powder and increase my brain capacity

What the world needs and wants

What the world needs now, is love, sweet love. it's the only thing that there's just too little of. What the world needs now, is love, sweet love, no not just for some but for everyone.
The world also wants to know who the next pope is. Do we really care? Maybe, maybe not but we do wanna know.
Slow day at work today, typical Monday blues. Pardon me for not blogging. I've been too tired and lazy too. Also, Kai hasn't sent me any pics yet. Hello Kai, stop trying to cheat in CM5 and send me some pics from class.
I spent a good part of the second half of the day tying to crack some game which I downloaded onto my workstation. I was told to never be satisfied with what I have so I tried and tried and tried and I succeeded. This simple game is all about moving up the food chain in the big bad ocean. You start of controlling an angelfish and move upwards to control an anglerfish and the list goes on. I haven't quite reached the end but I will soon.
I noticed that the boss always wears blue. I wonder if there is any reason behind that. Say my name, Say my name.........Aite, thats all for now. More insider information on the Ford Focus launch to come in the following days. Stay tuned!
Ain't it funny how the recent quotes of the day have a certain genre? Pure coincidence but still something to ponder about.

Quote of the day: Mike Sweetser walks into a bar and orders 6 shots of tequila. The bartender asks, "Why so many buddy?" Sweetser replies, "I'm celebrating my first blow job". The bartender says, "Well hell, congratulations, I will give you one on the house for free." Sweetser says, "No thank you, if the first 6 shots don't get the taste out of my mouth one more won't make a difference."

Decent week so far

Yesterday was the best day that going to work had to offer. 1540 hrs and I was told to pack up and go to SENTOSA! The blah blah tropical island blah blah resort which has blah blah blah.....
I was standing on the plot of land which used to be Fantasy Island. Now you can only fantasize about the island because it has become a huge parking space for coaches. Seems that the upcoming even is gonna be held here. You guys might wanna take a look. It will feature a slalom course and some braking and skidding courses to show what the new car can do.
Today was good too, work came at evenly spaced out intervals and it wasn't so bad except that the office is too damm warm. Anyways, I spent some time looking at air tickets. I'm so looking forward to my planned getaway. The budget airlines offer $298 or $311 per person depending on which airline. Still got some time to look around so I won't jump in and grab the tix now.

Super interesting link provided by Prince Charming on sperm theft. Here is an excerpt from one of the articles : "Sperm theft" ruling a step forward for men's reproductive rights

Dr. Richard O. Phillips alleges that six years ago Dr. Sharon Irons secretly kept his semen after the two had oral sex, and then impregnated herself with it. Phillips claims he didn't learn of the child's existence until two years later, when Irons went to court to get child support. Irons now receives $800 a month in tax-free child support from Phillips.

Heres a bit of the law in case you needed to know.

Courts have ruled that boys who were statutorily raped by older women must pay child support. Courts have ruled that when a woman has taken the semen from a condom a man used for sex with a different woman and has inserted it in herself, the man must still pay child support. Courts have ruled that when a woman has concealed her pregnancy (denying the man the right to be a father) and then sued for child support a decade later, the man must still pay child support. Courts have ruled that when a woman has deceived her husband into believing that her baby is his child, he must still pay child support. Few if any men are relieved of child support obligations due to the circumstances of the pregnancy, no matter how bizarre or unjust.

New week, new dept, new faces, same old story

First order of the day was to get introduced to a new manager. Then attend a meeting. I was like OMG! A MEETING! It seems that the launch of the new Ford Focus is in the works. Anyone interested in buying one? We might get a better deal if we buy a few. The meeting took me all the way to lunch. After lunch, my daily dose of idle time was to follow. Then another briefing about the accounts and finance of the company. When everything was all said and done, only 5 painstaking minutes of the worlds greatest countdown to endure, guess who should come knocking. WORK! I was like WTF, 1725 hrs and you give me work?!?!?! So I settled into my seemingly endless misery and started the mindless task of data entry. The 2 ladies sitting next to me who assigned the work didn't seem to think I could do it all within a few minutes. At 1730 hrs, I was almost two thirds through the stack of papers. They told me to go home. Leave some work for tomorrow. Whatever happened to 'never do tomorrow what you can do today'? After 5 more minutes, I had about 4 invoices to go, the 2 ladies got more serious and told me to go home. Well, I really didn't wanna disagree so I left. I really need a car. The bus journey is too damm long and it also passes the wrong side of town.

Quote of the day : Lets say you clone yourself and then you become attracted to yourself.......and wind up having sex with your clone. Does that make you gay, or are you just on the forefront of masturbation technology?

Mission accomplished

Blogger is getting pretty slow it seems. Maybe it's just me. Anyways, I finally finished transferring the accessories to the new depot. I hear I'll be heading to a new department next week. Yahoo, no more parts and part numbers! Hopefully I get to use some brains this time. School has resumed. The new lecturer is Korean. Pretty cool. Some people were even attracted to him. Strangely, this includes guys. He explained some theories about absolute advantage and also touched on 'technologe'.

Best thing that happened so far, I got PAID!

Quote of the day : If You're Happy And You Know It - Bomb Iraq. If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. If the terrorists are frisky, Pakistan is looking shifty, if North Korea is too risky, Bomb Iraq.

Happy Tombstone Cleaning Day

Before I forget, this is to remind you to clear up the long grass, repaint the words on the tombstone and splash some wine on the grave. Hey Kai, CM 2005 eh? Does it need the CD to run?

Work fit for a trained monkey

If going to work from day 1 till now can be called working experience then I think the army prepared me for the working world more then anything else. The army is a place where you can train an average person to do tasks repetetively without using much of their intelligence. It all started when Gandalf happily proclaimed that my temporary userid and password has been approved and had arrived. Time to hook myself up to the matrix. Once in this seemingly outdated and rigid infomation management system, I learn to take a different path in the matrix. All the other times I used it were only for short periods and I wouldn't have known what was going on. This time it was to be more intensive, more steps, more infomation to process but also less fun. I was told that I was actually creating already existing accessory ids in a new depot so that they could be transferred in future. Essentially, it means pure monotony and please don't fall asleep. That kicked the day off for me.
After being away from work for a few days, I didn't miss it at all. Garnered many smiles from the various people in the office including Helen, CB and Faggity. All of then seemed genuinely concerned as to why I wasn't in attendance for the past few days. The only person who seemed to be having problems was Gandalf. He had to find me a place to do the work he assigned me with and he had to run off to the hospital. He got me the table behind Faggity. Oh boy, was I gonna be in for a show. From about 9am till 1230pm, I settled down to create the new ids for the seemingly never ending list of accessories. This part required some brains but once the steps were familiar and the shortest way to create each id was figured out, I dozed off from 9.30 till 9.50am. I woke up because Faggity was making some noise. From my power nap onwards and while doing the work, I realised that my computer wasn't connected to the internet! WTF! I also noticed that Faggity was like a hamster in a cage. He scurries about with some urgency and makes a lot of noise when things are not going well. He obviously never heard of more haste less speed. The funniest thing is that he wears his damm pants really high up. I really gotta get a camera phone.
Lunch time came and I recieved the best news of the day so far. Gandalf told me to use his computer after lunch as he wouldn't be around. Iwas surprised that K2000 was coming along as well. Apparently he had no 'dates' today. I dunno what happened to the chinese ang mo.
After lunch, I gladly carried my pile of work to Gandalf's room. A great chair, with a faster PC and also the air con blowing in my face. I had a clear view of the rest of the office. I had already lost count of the amount of utility gained. Now to put on some live radio feed from the internet and settle down to work. Yahoo, Gandalf's computer had internet. Ok, the radio is streaming and it's playing! WTF, he's got no fucking speakers!!! Well 2 out of 3 ain't too bad. I WANNA GO HOME!

Quote of the day : I had an arguement with my wife earlier. She was angry that I didn't open the door for her. I panicked and swam to the surface.

Work, Exam, Work

This is getting to be quite unhappening. Work, study, exam, study, exam. That sums up last Monday till today. Tomorrow, it's back to work. Whether there is work to be done or what kind of work to be done is still an uncertainty. This past week, we mourn the death of a few things. Namely, the Pope, Eric, the Ferarri team and Everton.
I guess the exams were enjoyable in some sense because I didn't have to go to work. I could have done a little better for both exams but thats history. School resumes this Thursday and I'm not looking forward to it one little bit.
