I must be mad…today is the first time I worked while I am having fever. Usually when it is cold / flu / cough i would just ignore and work. But normally it feels horrible when having fever, I also wonder how did I manage to survive and work at 39 degrees….must be blessing from God. 
(the doctor was like “you are running high fever!” and i was like “but i cant go back….”) I am still not sure if what i did is right or not……..on one hand I can’t put down the testing as the team cant test once it encounter error. On the other hand…i am very worried that I might spread to everyone ~~ seriously dunno if I am doing the right or wrong thing!
Tried super hard…to keep to my words..that I would be here….no matter what. Dying to keep to my words Was an exciting 3 days…when I suddenly have to take on certain responsiblity. It was exciting, fun and stressful of course…a pity that the thing did not work out today still….only at night then it was resolved. Kinda feel abit failure at supporting this… ai….this feeling is kind of crappy and sucky although everyone is telling me it is not my fault.
Could it have been better tested and prepared? I certaintly think so…no access no briefing no documentation was no excuse! Hai….crappy feeling and I need to get over it! Jia you jia you jia you!
Lastly…may god bless my brother, myself and my sis … to overcome our illness and nothing serious is happening. I am so worried…….for him~~~

Just have the result of my first performance appraisal and got to know my bonus for my 1 year work. Although I know i still have some way to go, I am happy with the result
Hope my work is just like my study, it just get better and better each year Really think the decision to join a big company (although this is not MNC) to experience what it is to work in a > 50 people company is right! I realised i used to think that one month to earn $3-4k is alot….now I think many of my colleagues earn more than that (not me ^^| ). I used to think that to get 2 month bonus is very good already yet here I think many of my colleagues gets more than that including myself THus I am very happy with the bonus also! wahhahahahaha
Although i know it is not high to some, maybe in future i will have higher expectation, but now at this moment, i am so happy
To reward myself, I shall……save the $$$. Been indulging myself in alot of things with my monthly salary so for this bonus, other than bringing my mum to TW and give abit more to my parents (haven’t think of how much ^^|), save for next year income tax….the rest I shall save some and invest some!
One thing i hope…i hope i do not become an ATM again because of the bonus and it brings only joy and will not trigger off some unwanted event. I been trying hard to forgive and forget and built our relationship, please do not ruin it…do not just because you know i got bonus …The trust is still not there but at least now I am willing to spend time with you, a saturday afternoon to fly kite with you. It takes time to regain trust after being hurt…I am trying hard, let this be a test and god bless…please bless him to pass it!
That day when I was lunching with my colleagues, I happened to talk about the random job i worked when I was studying. Then M commented that i seems to have a hard life, but actually I am the most fortunate one in my family. Although i was almost aborted, have to do alot of part time…but with my background i get to travel so much, and have what I have today, I am very happy and feel very fortunate already!. I didn’t felt that the working is a hardship, i have grown up and learn from these experiences…i think it is what makes up me today. Because I earned a mere $3.50/hr before, because I did menial job before, I do not look down on people working on menial job, respected it and I strive to have higher achivement in studies, to earn more $$ and i must bring a better standard of living to my family Maybe…abit that i am wondering is…if i have study harder from young…or from uni year 1…would i be able to get first class? hahaha….but then again, to study so hard is so not my style
Next…want to talk about saturday where I went out with my Mum and sis. Was a fun day where we went to eat watami (don’t have my favourite daifuku~~). Wanted to use my $5 watami voucher so decided to go and eat at watami since we enjoyed the food. This time round we order all the right stuff but guess what? I forgot to use the voucher! aiyo..baka! Luckily i paid by visa, can void and repay again^^| lucky!
Next lucky thing? Last week I bought a wilson K factor tennis racket and only upon payment then I know that it comes with a free wilson backpack but was out of stock. it is value for $$ even without the bag so I decided to go ahead and buy, least expected…the bag is still available ^^ So in the end => it is super value for $$ ^_____________________________^ thank god!!!
So many happy things in a week, hahaha. Then we went to watch salt with the complementary voucher given by my financial planner. Nice movie Really wonder if angelina jolie knows martial art in real life? THen after that we saw an archery centre and went in to have some fun. 72 arrows for 3 pax for a total of $24! It is my sis and mum’s first experience with archery, hahah so fun!
Then we have supper and “nua” at the sofa, playing with it … then go home. but guess what? we missed the last bus (to be exact we didn’t noticed that there were bus diversion until we waited for 30mins and kenna midnight charge…>.<) and in the end gotta pay extra $$ to take cab home. It was a small matter but i kinda lost my temper (didnt say any awful things but the way i contain it is being quiet…which i guess being my mum and sis they can of cause felt the fiery aura >.< aiya…dunno whats wrong with me…to be unhappy abt such small thing. Hope i did not ruin the day~~). Overall it is a happy day … hahah. Damage on pocket -> $54 for watami + $24 for archery => $78. yeah it is < $100 with sis treated us for the supper. Must control my temper better…although with improvement (keeping quiet)…but still not good enough as people can still sense the awful aura…must gambatte!
Then last night was a happy night also, spend some time catching up with my overseas friend. Didn’t realised…its been almost half a year since we last catch up. Almost work until no friends^^|||. Our gathering last dec felt like its just yesterday ^^| 好想念大家阿 我又要去TW 嘍﹐ 大家見面+吃飯吧 讓ET 媽媽看看這十年來在國外好好照顧ET的人 有人要和我們一起玩也很歡迎!!!
A long blog…been kepting all these thoughts with me
Still have one more part to blog…I finally did some programming in 1 year plus! And this round, i coded perl !!! wahhhaa… its been a while since i am so focused…i do get focused at work but the level is never the same as when i am coding. I was so focused that i forgot to go toilet and felt a bit of strain on my forehead / head after 2 hours plus of super focused coding! hahah..so happy i can improve the mining script!
This may really be the final place where i will settle down…hahah. Although i see my other “sis” working hard even during weekend and public holiday. Ai…too bad i can’t be of much help! Nvm…i will try my best to learn and be a little more useful!
1 or 2 years ago i tell myself someday i will buy a 4o inch lcd tv for my family (back then it is $3x plus), finally did it today…in less than an hour with a bit of impulse purchase and mess I got a Toshiba 40″ LCD tv for my family for $799 at the electronics fair!
Buying the TV is not an impulse thing since my mum been wanting to buy for weeks as her room TV is spoilt but the selection is quite an impulse thingy. i been trying to convince her to buy after I get my bonus! But since there is this electronics bazaar so no harm seeing Hahhaa…..used all my expenses $$ for the month + $200 on credit to buy this TV! how am I going to survive! whahhaa…is again dipping into my saving again. this is bad, i just kept using my saving despite i am working! but cant wait for the TV to be delivered to my house for use hahah… dunno if the TV is good or bad but at the spot both me and my friend felt that it is sharp and colour is nice
But because of this $799 burn in my pocket, my tennis racket plan shall delay till i get my bonus! >.<…provided the bonus can cover the $799…lolol.
Next shall blog about my first assignment at the new unit!
Yesterday went back for an exercise and this is considered the first assignment at the new unit since I have only been reading so far. However, things did not go smoothly. I just get to know that I can take taxi there so i decided to go to work by taxi but little did I expect that it took me half an hour to get a cab (even though i called forone after i couldnt get one for abt 10-15mins), then we got stuck in a traffic jam at bukit timah road~~~ In the end I reached my office at 2:05pm, when I came out at 12:55pm … and I am suppose to reach at 1.30~2pm.
Then because I was late, was abit panicky as I was upset that I missed the chance to observe the verification of the system and I thought soon it will be the time for the activity that I am supposed to perform. Was quite unfamiliar at setting up since it is my first time despite I practiced at test server before. So bad that I even replied ”I dunno how to do that!” when i was prompted to use telnet to check my connection. Indeed I am not familiar since I hardly use any command line before be it for windows/unix, but i shouldnt have answered in that tone and should not be so nervious…
Then subsequently when I was doing whatever I need to do, then i realised I used the wrong version of the s/w. My impression is that the older version is only for me to play around…never expect thats the one to use in prod system, especially when I did not have the older version in my system even when I am learning how to do the stuff I need to perform on sat. but I should have thought of it, the newer version is in testing, how can it be prod copy. Then after that there are some settings that I did and did not notice that the auto was changed to manual after I commit the changes the 2nd time =.=
All in all…i am quite disappointed with myself . Feeling abit down since ytd…but I shall pick myself up … Shall gam ba te in future. One very prominent weakness…command line, i am totally cui in this area =.= But this set back shall not deter my interest for the unit, I shall continue to learn and am still looking forward to work each day at here.
What a day though, was woken up by rain and thunder at 5plus am…then woke up at 8am just to stare at the rain ruining my tennis game. then the cui-ness at work. hai… gam ba te gam ba te gam ba te!!!

This morning played tennis with LY, felt that we both play pretty well today, at least we manage to rally quite ok, infact the occsaional drop shot (or due to my lack of strength LOLOL) that result in net play was fun and exciting
Love it whenever the tennis game goes right! hahahha
Afternoon KTV was cancelled thus I revised my Japanese for about 2 hours! hahaha….yeah! shall try to study a bit tml also. Need to improve my use of the language, it is deterioting as I practice it less and less!
Then I meet my parents and sis to have dinner at watami! Ordered lotsa food, eat until my stomach gonna explode liao! But we finished everything ^_^ The bill goes up to $90 for 4 of us. The food taste pretty nice ( i love the mango + ichigo (strawberry) daifuku!!!!) + service is really good! (they kneel at us to take orders….omg! i was so shocked!) + the price is very reasonable => overall is value for $$ and I will definitely go back. hahha
Then after that we braved the rain and reached the foot reflexology place where we have our 45mins foot + shouder + hand massage! I am thinking of making this massage thingy + family outing a monthly event ^_^ … but this one day event costed a $200 bill on my pocket!
After the massage, we shopped at CK and have ice cream + french fries + coke at Mac for supper! haha…super full, even till now I still feel so full from watami and mac.
Now watching French Open (Roland Garros), not Henin’s match but Elena Dementiva’s one. I doubt she will win as I see that her injuries is affecting her playquite a bit. But look at her determination to play on…gosh my heart really goes out to her! Whats worst for an athletic to be injured! A pity that she might not cruise pass this round. Gam ba te Elena, you fought well when you play with Henin, hope you can continue to play in this tournament!
====================
Oh yeah Elena Dementiva won her page and cruised on!!! hahhaa….hope Henin will win Maria Sharapova tonight and cruise pass and meet Dementiva some day on the way

Today went for my Japanese class in the morning and managed to scrap pass my oral test happy that my listening was pretty ok (or should I say cos the question wasn’t too hard ? ^^|).
After that met up with Xiao Hui san to catch up while having lunch at Yoshinoya! It almost become my regular lunch place every Sat!
Today also splurge on my tennis wear: 1 x Wilson tennis bag (my god, is so my style, how can I not get it right? ^^| hahaha) + 2 x adidas top. Total damage = $39.90 + $55.80!
(日本語: 今日日本語クラスへいきにオラル-テストとリシェニングテストをしにいった。 オラル-とリシェニングテストはあまり難しかった。ですから全部は合格した。そして、xiao hui さんとあいながら、昼ご飯を食べています。昼ご飯後、スポーツの服とかばんを買った。)
Wilson Tennis Bag
On the left is normal sports wear, on the right is a tennis top! (ops preiously type wrongly ^^|||)
At evening also meet my sis at plaza for dinner, then shop around, went arcade only to realise my card have 122 tickets inside for redeem!!! hahaha…got ourselves 1 x mechanical pencil (since mine is super old) + 1 pink eraser cum sharpener ( お姉さん (sis) want it) + bubble … hahaha lame right^^| some childhood memory !
Then went to mac for supper! pianz…super full! Actually we suppose to play tennis today but rain =.= ….so gonna play tml.
(夕方姉と一緒にplazaで晩ご飯を食べた。KFCをたべた^^ それから、買物して、arcade でゲンームをした。嬉しかった! そして、Macで夜ご飯を食べた! お腹がいっぱいね! )
One stupid thing I find about all these tennis booking is …upon rain, must go down personally to reschedule the booking. thats crap! we are in 21st century, we can book and pay online, why can’t you update the booking online? going down is such a trouble and on top of it I can’t prebook the slot I want before I go down~~
Must sleep le..tml morning tennis おやすみ (night)!
