oink

My work email is being bombarded with Swine Flu messages.

The alert switched as of last night from green to yellow. We are 3 levels away from a full-blown pandemic !! AAAAAAAH!

Boss is kan cheong. For what ? Firstly, we don't see patients here. Secondly, we are supposed to treat everything that comes through here as biohazardous anyway. What is swine flu compared to hepatitis and AIDS ??

network problems

Mighty White is back ! Sony said they could find nothing wrong. Passed all their tests so brought it home expecting it not to work.

Turns out fine but now my pc can't connect. It's like you fix one thing , and something else goes bust. So irritating. 2 weeks ago pc hang and mighty was fine. Last week, mighty went for servicing and pc was fine. Now this week, pc won't connect and mighty is fine. WTFLAH

Now need someone with routing expertise to connect modem to router to pc to mighty.

I have no clue when it comes to DNS, TCP/IP , IP address whatever whatevaaaaaaaaa

I JUST WANT IT FIXED. WILL PAY GOOD MONEY.

photobook

Am considering getting my birdie mum a photobook for her coming 56th.

Briefly saw the concept at SLS food court but for the designing / layout you have to sit there and do it.

Saw it being done at Fotohub @ Coronation last night. But they charge friggin $170 for a 6x6 model printed on thick THICK cardboard pages. You can't flip it, you have to turn each page like a kids picture book. NOnonono!

Photobook is EXACTLY what I'm after. It looks pro (artistic as I am) , is cheaper than the cardboard nonsense and can be done in the convenience of home. Will download the software later. I am quite excited.

moving on (FINALLY)

The boss's boss came round to deliver the news to me yesterday.

Never met her before ; only by name.

I will be going to live it up in Mount E OT. I have never partaken in office politics. I hope I won't be embroiled in anything there.

My boss is panicking. "Who will replace me??" , she says. The bulk of it I have already passed on when I went to KL for 3 weeks. She is still insisting on having another.

Am waiting for HR to do paperwork. God knows how long THATS going to take.

Took the ps3 for servicing on Sunday. Haven't been with it for 2 days. Feels like 2 weeks.

heard it through the grapevine

A little birdie (my mom) told me something yesterday and made me swear to keep to myself. Hmmm, very unlike my mother.

Dr T rang my dad yesterday afternoon with the news that he has intentions of promoting me. (HURRAH!) This will be based in Mt E. He told my dad that he has heard 'rumblings from the ground' that I don't want to be relocated. How very strange. I smell politics.

I find it highly coincidental that on the very same day (yesterday) there was also a circular going round that our American CEO will not be renewing his contract.

I feel great knowing that my 3 weeks in KL were not a complete waste and that my research is worth something.

Mum says to casually ask Dr T what he thinks of the report in a few days time cos have not heard anything from him yet. It has been slightly more than a month. No news is always good news, right ?

I HATE STARHUB

Playing Killzone online and having to reconnect because of 'network connection error' is plain retarded.

It is uber frustrating to sneak up on a Helghast just about to blow his brains out when suddenly you get this idiotic error.

I knew I shoulda signed up with Singnet

STARHUB WAKE UP LAHHHH

Thai girl

Caught up with Nav & Jigga over dinner.

Haven't seen the perv since I left Melb - about 4 years ago !

So nice to catch up and talk about old times. Our topic of the night being a Miss Yui.
A pretty Thai girl who would end up using every single guy she meets. She had this way about her that made you believe she was vulnerable, demure and just needed alot of support.

Turns out she is a wily scum-sucking maggot who was using guys to get what she wanted. They would take her out for fancy dinners, ferry her to airport, take her shopping and all sorts of crap. Not only that, she used guys to get them to do things for her other boy toys !

Jigga sorely recalls how he ended up falling for her but got his just desserts when he confronted her in front of a few other 'friends' of hers.

I myself have a distinct memory of having a go at her when I confronted her in the corridor outside her room in college. If only I could remember what I was yelling about...
