lol, think i shldnt be just posting mini updates, especially when i stopped blogging for like… 8 months?! well here they are.

a peak went past, which was tiring and tough, as usual, but im getting the hang of it.

promotion didn’t come, kinda expected cos my boss gave me the insider news some 2 months before the announcement, so not too bad a blow i suppose.

many colleagues left the firm, mostly due to the bad news above. not a bad thing though, at least makes them realise what they want in life is not to slog for ungrateful employers.

sei jeong flew back to australia, and there were tears everywhere. wish her all the best.

jiuzhaigou trip in jun’09 was great, especially after peak, and it’s totally an amazing world over there.

family relationships got better, especially after the hk trip in may’09, and definitely will improve more.

friendship among closer friends got a little disrupted though. sigh. drama of life, maybe?

too many things flew past in just a short time span of 8 months, and i do not even have the time to reflect on my actions vs outcomes of those events, not to mention time for any possible regrets. however, one thing which i wont regret was to make her a closer part in my life.

2008: the year of euro2008, and im glad that another of the teams which i support won again (the previous time was italy winning the world cup in 2006)!! LOL, but i guess this wasnt even important in what i should be remembering from 2008…

i was browsing through my old entries, and i notice that most of the entries i wrote varies in mood, though most are in angry mode. but i guess its just a way of venting frustrations (if you do notice my blog title). i think i did write this before, people have different ways of doing so, and this is my own style, and i dun nag my frustrations to my friends. another thing i realised is that i think im learning how to control my emotions better now. i dun lose focus in my job anymore whenever i feel down. but then again, somehow i feel im losing all my emotions. its just something like numbness. when u slap urself everyday, sometimes u just dun feel the pain anymore when u keep doing so. (this applies to my alarm clock too! when the alarm rings everyday at 7am, slowly u just wont think that its noisy anymore. LOL). i guess i cant open my heart easily now…

2008 was the year of growth and improvement for me. the job gave me opportunities to learn and to prove my worth through crazy late nights working during the last peak period; and there it came, experience and knowledge. i guess the sole purpose for us to work in this line is for knowledge and not for the money, and i guess the economic gloom in 2008 made it worst. we saw again the practical nature of people in this world, where people are sacrifice for the sake of clashes of interests. owners of the company places pressure on the management to control expenses, and why do they want to do that? money. and i guess i should stop complaining about something which none of us in the whole wide world can change, and this topic is a forever on-going problem for ALL of us (just admit it, take away money in your life, what are you left with? dun tell me its your soul!)

inter-personal relationships in 2008 revolve mainly in my office, and i guess i should expand my social circle. i guess things get pretty ugly whenever conflicts occur within the office and these are those times which i feel the office is still not big enough to contain people whom i dun wish to see. be less close with ur colleagues = be less sad when u leave (but i guess it cant apply to me now, cos im just too frenly in office… wahahahhaa)

sometimes, i guess people think im abit too stucked up (i dunno who thinks so, but its just a general feel), maybe due to some negative image which i portrayed in office (i just cant smile all the time la, dey. u think i actor issit!). sorry lor, my fault.. haha. well, i cant be suddenly start smiling at everyone in office rite? and i cant be start talking to everyone all day long leh. i got things to do de lor. im not as free as you think. LOL.

one of my colleagues asked me this suddenly in office, “yd, you are a nice guy. but why aren’t you attached?” LOL, how you want me to answer this? “cos girls think that im not nice?”, “girls think that im just a nice guy, with nothing else?” or “girls dun like nice guys at all?”. sorry to say, i dont fish in office. if you think im doing so, you are so totally wrong…

goodbye to 2008 and if i offended anyone in the last year, too bad then. i dun need to prove what i am to you. LOL…

——————————————————————————————-

and yeah, so this is it! my list of resolutions for the year (not in any order of importance, and im lazy to arrange in alphabetical order):

• spend more time with family
• survive in current job (specifically, the peak period)
• find a better job (after surviving, haha)
• save $300 more per month (very unlikely though, haha)
• spend less (so as to fulfill the previous reso)
• be more positive in all areas
• start training for ippt (LOL)
• pick up a new sport (LOL x 2)
• lose a bit of my fats (LOL x 3)
• fulfill at least 50% of all the resolutions for 2009 (crap!)

let’s see how many of these can i achieve by 2009. haha

someone asked me what are my new year resolutions for 2009.

cant think of any right now. i guess im naturally resistant to changes in my life. somewhat, i think i didnt fulfil 90% of all the resolutions that i’ve set over the past 20years. so whats the point now? perhaps to wish for world peace? or world domination? haha

but the very next day you gave it away…

this christmas, what did i do? well, nothing much i supposed. besides having some frens at my house for pasta-making during the saturday and dinner out with ntu frens on sunday, i think i only did one more other thing, that is OT. (crap)

wahahaha, its been long since i made pasta le, and i think my cooking skills is proportional to the number of practices i had (no improvement that is) lol… but then again, not too bad la… wahahhaha

see some photo:

got pasta from apple, got pasta by us, got campbell soup with lots of potatoes in it, and got messed up supposed-to-be-omelette-but-became-srambled-eggs (wahahhaaa) and ya, my 100 plus.. lol

and ya, they played with my mbp’s iSight:

and i think they enjoyed themselves… lol my fren (above photo, bottom left) even tried to imitate “scream”!

well, thats all for now. short update only, cos its 4am now… merry xmas

i can’t remember what i did last xmas,

i think i forced myself to forget it i guess.

i hate working OT on public holiday eves,

i think i have to anyway…

for today that is.

sucks.

all firefox users on broadband or cable (which i supposed equals to 99.9999% of all internet users) should try this:

type about:config on ur address bar.

then type these lines

network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining

and set them both to “true”.  This adjusts the pipelining settings.

then find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

and set the value to 8

Finally, right-click on any setting and select ‘new’ and then ‘integer’.

Set the name to nglayout.initialpaint.delay (you might want to copy & paste it) and set the value to “0″ (zero).  This would remove the render delay.

haha, as per discussion with a friend, these settings apparently made his firefox load so fast that he gets giddy over the speed of the webpage showing up on his screen… LOL!~!

i think my blog is too messy…

i’ve got unsorted youtube videos all over the place; messy categories with messy tags and a messy blogroll…

and i’m so lazy to revamp… hahahaha wait till i got time ba (but maybe i will just spend my free time doing other things)

“see how lo”

《突然好想你》五月天《后青春期的诗》中一首深情情 歌，叙述了甜甜又酸 涩的回忆，这首歌用充满画面的回忆，企图剥离我们早已习惯的坚强外壳。

是夜，一样的夜，一样的夜空一样的地方一样的我，不一样的是这里少了一个你。
不一样的是那个只有你我知道的地方留下的只是我孤独的身影而不再有往日 你我的笑容，突然好想你。

在今夜突然好想你，比往常更想你；不得不想你，在这里的每一处都残留下了我们的回忆， 让我无法从那里走出来。突然好想你，不知道什么时候眼泪止不住了，真的想告诉你说我所 爱的人是你而不是他，我早已将他忘记，在不知不觉中，把他抛到了九霄云外。

i guess most of us will experience these kind of moments before. you would suddenly wonder, what would happen if they are still here with you? what would have changed? and what would have stayed the same? i guess there are countless answers to these qns… if there is a most appropriate answer to these qns, i would say it’s all fate… its fate that you all met, and its fate that they would leave you… all we can do is to treasure the ones you have around you, be it parents, friends, close relatives, colleagues, or even acquaintances… and make the best out of it.

歌曲 突然好想你 歌手 五月天 专辑 后青春期的诗

最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚 绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息
想念如果会有声音 不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今 终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己
突然好想你 你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你带我走过最难忘的旅行
然后留下最痛的纪念品

我们那麽甜 那麽美 那麽相信
那麽疯 那麽热烈的曾经
为何我们 还是要奔向各自的幸福
和遗憾中老去
突然好想你 你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛
最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚 绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息 最怕此生已经决定自己过
没有你却又突然 听到你的消息
