New ERP Gantry!

My QAD sent me this, found it very funny, so here you go!





ERP, but what are the timings that it'll charge? haha! =P water vessels have to install the cashcard reader and purchase cashcards, hmmm... One gantry kill 3 vessels?

F-Mate

Saw this on a website where people can share room rentals and all, found it interesting, and here it is!

Sourcing for a f-mate... Haha!

Is the economy good, or what?

I find it very interesting, the way the government goes about saying that the economy is going down, prices are going up, and people still dont want to work!

In a company that hires part time staff, some of the people who called to enquire would just give that kind of not interested tone of voice when they heard about the rates. It is not as if the rates are not good or otherwise, but you expect a high paying part-time job doing nothing? If there is such a good deal, please do keep me informed! I would LOVE to so that too!

Anyway, I do hope that recession would kick in soon. Then people would just wake up and take note of their bearings!

Small Project?

My company is currently having a minor reno going on. Here's what the reno consist of:

1. Demolition of 2 partitions, as well as sanding of the floor where the partitions rested to make the floor look nicer, more even
2. Erection of 3 partitions - 1 glass, 1 to seal a doorway, 1 to extend a existing storage area
3. Rewiring works for the affected partitions

This renovation works, undertaken by Eagle Design Pte Ltd, has been underway for 3 whole weeks, and according to him and the other contractors who gave their quotations, they told me that the works would take 2 weeks. Now he's telling me that it'll only be finished next week, which would take the whole reno works 4 weeks for a timeline that should only be 2 weeks, and the works ar not yet completed as of date!

Here's the parts of reno works that happened:

1. Partition works was supposed to start on 29Mar08 at 1230h. I had my carpenter arranged to arrive at that time as cupboards were supposed to shifted too. Carpenters came at the appointed time, contractor did not turn up. Ok, I allowed the carpenter to do his items first. Called the contractor at 1330h, he said, wait a while more, they will be here shortly. Called again at 1530h, he said, they're stuck on the other site, they'll be there later. Called again at 1700h, he said: Can I get my people down on Monday morning instead? When I heard that, I was fuming mad, and I told them no, you said that you're to be here at 1230h, and now you tell me that you can only come the next morning! (The carpenters have already finished their work at 1500h, and I've waited for them for 2 freaking hours! They arrived at 1730h and took down the partitions ONLY. They said that they'll erect the partitions first thing in the morning on Monday. At least the guy who was demolishing was kind enough to help me to silicon a window still, which was allowing water to seep into the office.
2. Monday - 31Mar08. No signs of the contractor staff. Called, said they're stuck at another ground.
3. Tuesday - 1Apr08. Ditto for this day.
4. Wednesday - 2Apr08. Finally! The man doing the erection of partition works is here! and errected the partition boards. Finished plastering and left. Door of extended storage area left there.
5. 03Apr08-14Apr08: Reno works were at a standstill. Called Mr Tan, who said: They'll be there later! Later! Later! Later!
6. 15Apr08 - His Later, finally came. Today, his man doing finally came and did the concealment of the wires, at least part of it, as well as placing the door in the storage area. Funny thing, they shaved the door, and now the door can't catch. Can't shut properly. He said that he will get another of his staff to take measurements for the glass partition tomorrow. We shall see about that, shall we?

He made a very interesting remark today: Your's is just a small project. If your's is a big project, I'd have completed it long ago.

So if you take 4 weeks to complete a small project like mine, would I dare to entrust you with the reno works of my company should I shift office?

Snide remarks, be careful!

I just find it interesting at times... The things that people say when they think that the subject can't hear them.

The things might just be a simple thing of saying it softly under the breath, or saying it loudly when the subject has headphones on.

I just encountered one such incident today. One of my colleagues, who has a very loud voice, was commenting on how he could customize printing on cue cards. As you know, one is able to do a page setup onto the final dimensions in Microsoft Word so as to print on different different sized items. Well, this guy, he would just think about getting labels printed and stuck onto the cue cards, when the cue cards are blank and white in color, which would mean that printing on them is possible.

Then, he wondered how to get it done, and made a very loud remark: "I should consult my IT administrator on how to do it... But then again (turns to look at yours truly), I think better not." Laughs out loud.

OH well , for gods sake, if you want to make such a snide remark, you can either ensure that the subject is not around. Otherwise, do say it at a lower volume!

That's one thing. Being in an office doesn't mean that you are able to talk and laugh at the top of your voice all the time! Even most of the time would turn people off! Others who are concentrating on their work would not be able to do so.

I bet my entire month salary (Full & part time) that u're just a piece of loud blowing, empty horn, which explains why you're able to blow so loud, by the way.

Look Mum, see what the cat dragged in!

Saw this interesting scene while on my way to training, couldn't help it but to snap the following pictures:

It's not often that you see something like this, the very most that i've seen is a cat 'battling' with a cockroach!

I must admit, I did a double take when I first saw it!

Look Mum, see what the cat dragged in!

Wine and Dine

Got wined and dined tonigh at Dempsey's Place, Courtesy of Sheldon. Thanks! =)


It was the first time I've been to the area, or rather, at least the first time I remember myself going to that area.

It was fantastic, although the roads could be improved on... haha... =P

Went for dinner at The House (http://www.dempseyhouse.com/), followed by drinks at Harry's. Dinner was quite nice, owner of the place is totally hot! There were both indoor and outdoor seating area, with nice ambience and all. We had our dinner indoors, then took a tour round the area, through the bar and spa area. Quite a nice place to just sit and chill, provided that you have got your own transport.

Saw Jerry from Disney over there, who was celebrating a colleague's birthday. Still looks as handsome as ever! I wonder how he keep shis skin so clean and smooth... hmmm...

Too bad I have yet to get my new camera, else I would have posted photos of everything here!

Confusion

I got a free invite to the movie Undead that's screening at Cathay Cineleisure yesterday.

As I do not have many friends who are fans of horror like I am, I asked my boss along for the event.

After leaving the office at 6pm sharp (which is a VERY rare thing), we headed down to collect the tickets as well as have dinner at Sakae Teppenyaki. Dinner was fairly good, interesting as it was my first time having that.

Following that, we headed down to the arcade and pitted our skills at game House of the Dead 2. 2, mind you, not the latest, 4! Haha... Going for our movie after that, we made a great boo-hoo.

Our movie was supposed to be in Cinema 7, but I think we headed to Cinema 6 instead and caught the movie Brothers. Brothers is actually not too bad, as there is the suave Andy Lau to admire. I do think that he gets better with age. Looks so good in a suit, making me wanna meet such a person in Singapore. I think that if I do, my heart would go humpily-hump all the time.

I think that yesterday was a very lucky day for my boss as he managed to skip yet another parking ticket! Muahaha!

Em Studio Martini Night!

Went for the Launch of Choya Martini the other night with Francis.

We took a cab there from Clarke Quay as we did not know how to walk there. Hence the Martinis cost us like, $0.40 each?

It was followed by Elliott's birthday celebration at Kandi Bar, which got him totally high (as per what I heard). Glad that you had fun, peace out!

Yet another party Organised by EHG (Emerald Hill Group)

2006-2007 has been quite a fruitful year for me... I've stayed on with my job, seen coutless people come and go. Made new friends, found a new hobby: Partying! New boyfriend, who is now history, holidays, new things to handle and such.

Took 3 trips since the last update, namely to Taiwan, Tioman and KL. Trip to KL is courtesy of Eugene, with whom I tagged along for his business trip. Muahaha...

Lets see what the new post bring us. I shall endevour to update the postings as often as possible *crosses fingers*

After 2 years of absence...

2004 till 2006... It has been 2 whole years since I have last touched this blog... So many things has happened, so much things learnt, so many people seen. And basically, so much headache.

Colleagues have changed from friendly to being indifferent, especially some people from some education institution, behaving like they are all high and mighty, it's no wonder that I don not like their institution in the first place.

Making one to do all dirty work, it is just so ARGH! But then again, oh well... What can one do? Can only smile, and yes, yes, yes.

Oh well, tomorrow will be a better day.

Peace up and out...
