oh well, here i am again after 3months of haitus. well, there are a lot of happenings and changes for the past three months! July I worked a lot of overtime. just whacked only - free flow of OT (and i missed it so much now). Also the OT money was needed for my much awaited trip to Australia at the end of July... while i was working OT, i was looking for other jobs as well. secured an interview and immediately was hired on the spot during the interview. i think i did well in promoting myself during the interview. hahahaha. actually i didnt wanna leave my old company. had a good life. made good friends and had a terrific manager and it was a happening workplace. i asked my manager to counter offer me and she worked on it. except that the higher management was too blind and dumb to see how valueable i was to the organisation operations. too bad, the higher management didnt even consider to counter offer me until the very last minute. but it was too late. my great grandmother passed away that very evening 20th July 2010 at SGH. she was 97 years old. i believe she had a good life and was happy. may you rest in peace and insyallah your sins will be forgiven and may Allah protect you always. the next day, i signed my agreement letter with my new company. S&W Heat Exchangers as a Purchasing Executive. I was glad to get a new job with a higher post and better salary. a few days later (24 August 2010), me and gf flew to Australia for a one week trip! it was a trip of my life and i love AUSTRALIA. Stayed in sydney for 4 days 3 nights and flew domestically to Brisbane where we spent another 4 days 3 nights at Queensland.  it was like a honeymoon trip for us and i wished we could have stayed there longer. nevertheless, there's always a next time and other places to visit! August the highlight of this month was my first ever family car! KIA CERATO FORTE! hehehehe i love it. anyway, after we came back from the trip, i continued working at panduit for another 3weeks and when 3 weeks was up, it was time to say goodbye. those wonderful people in panduit bought me a nice parting gift. a Kenzo perfume and a g-shock watch! freaking awesome mate! 23rd August was my first day @ S&W Heat Exchangers. :) met new people from different nationalties. so far work is good however its pretty challenging because i am new in the oil & gas industry and to talk about purchasing? i am totally new it in! and i dont even have any technical background to learn about raw materials in metal. BUT one thing i can be assured is that i am a fast learner and will be able to get through all this obstacles. :) September It was a challenging month and i was able to go through fasting month smoothly. alhamdullilah. :) Though i though it was smooth, first day hari raya was normal but came at night, my beloved grandfather collapsed and never woke up again. he was sent to NUH and was diganosed with a burst blood vessel in the brain due to high blood pressure. technically, he was brain dead and it was too late for anything. he passed away peacefully the next morning after subuh at 6.40am, 11 September 2010. prior to his collapsed, we visited him as usual for hari raya ard 4pm. he was normal and happy. i was glad to be able to talk to him and ask for his forgiveness before we left. and when we left his house, he looked out from the corridor to see us walk to the carpark and he even waved his hand goodbye to us. that was the very last time we saw him alive. and 2 days before hari raya, he actually rode his electric bicycle from taman jurong to jurong west just to visit my family. he was so happy to see our cats and it was the last time we will ever his him through our doors. all this events somehow made me think that maybe my grandfather knew that he is going away. insyallah, he will be forgiven for all his sin and may Allah protect him always. i've got nothing else to say. it made me sad to blog about it. i am on 2 days MC for high fever and influenza. i think my bosses at work are not happy about it. anyways, i dont care so much. its my own health that i should be worried about. i just want to let anyone reading this to know that i love my girlfriend AMALINA who had always been so good and a sweetheart to me and my family. let us pray to Allah that we will have long healthy life. insyallah. :) |

hello there. its been a long hiatus from this blog. i think its time again that i shall blog once in a while. at least doing this will make my gf happy. =) well the past four months had been a good ride. below are the highlights for the past four month. Feb: My first MUSE concert @ Indoor stadium was freaking awesome. they rock my balls. it was the most expensive concert ever in my life. refer to May event after this and you will understand why it is so expensive. =( Apart from that, i was still recuperating at home and enjoying life. March: Still slacking at home and only started working again on Mid march... it was almost 4months of Medical Leave. what a break it was man! Met my traffic police investigating officer for report of my accident and a week letter i received a letter that i am cleared of any charges but let off with a stern warning. nonsense sia! i think i should be the one giving them a stern warning to do their job properly! hahahaha but on a lighter note, TP was good to me at the end of the month. i passed my Class 3 driving license! i calculated that i spent only $1078 for my private practicals and test. i passed with 10points. thank god. =) April: Nothing much happen this month except that i grew a year older. But something sweet did happened. GF brought me to Night Safari during my birthday. And my presents from her was ultimately thoughtful and sweet of her. i love you sweetheart. =) at the end of april, i brought her to Universal Studios Resort World Sentosa for an early birthday treat since she had her one week of leave from work. that place is fantastic! except that i think if the madagascar and the big rollercoaster is open, then it will be more attractive. it was fun and one day was not enough actually! but never drive there unless you need to. parking is fucking expensive! May: it was my sweetheart 22nd birthday! i got her the best ever gift she had ever got. i got her a creative prop up birthday card, a pretty snowball sweetheart, a olympus underwater camera and a acer laptop! what she asked for the past few months, i got it especially for her. i am glad she liked it a lot. especially the camera but i was hoping she would like the laptop more. =( hahahaha! a week after her birthday, we left for a holiday to Phuket with Imran & Ain! 5days of adventurous thrilling escapade for them, but not for me. i didnt do bungee like they did. i was scared shit. lol. other than that, it was pure sun, sea and the beach. however, i did para-sailing by patong beach. freaking expensive though but it was worth it. =) June: only work is filling me up. SUPER SIAN. have to clock in a lot of overtime. and right now i am at work on a saturday morning doing nothing much except after lunch i will chiong to finish my work. only two things are keeping me alive: my sweetheart amalina and it's time for africa WORLD CUP 2010! =) |

this week passed by damn fast ah! it was just like how it used to be when i was back at work... i got two weeks left before i am going back to work, but it depends on my medical review tomorrow. if doctor extends my leave, i will gladly accept it. =) been fetching gf from work everyday. must do this everyday because once i start work, there's no way i can fetch her from work on weekdays. also, been riding again. i am really glad and appreciate that amalina allows me to ride our bike again. i really took good care of the bike. spent almost 2hours to wash, clean and wax the bike yesterday. and today, went off to JB to change its tyres! have to change because of safety issues. =) well, we meet a few friends too this week. most are her friends. on Friday had a dinner with mira & azhar over at marina square for Manhattan fish market. their promo CNY meal is so worth it! the lobster are fantastic! hahaha. well, agenda to meet up was for a discussion for our Australia trip in late June. so we are set to go touring free and easy to two cities in AU. gonna take lots of time to plan and do budgeting. on Saturday, i sent gf to work and brought the bike back home. like i said earlier, i washed the bike. fetch her back again at 12 noon but ended waiting for 1hour 40mins for her! haiyoo... but nvm la. i understand she has to put in a lot of effort for her department audit which is coming up real soon. i am glad she appreciated my help this week in doing up diagrams which she needed most. =) after which, we proceed to a friend's place for a small party to welcome him back home after a month plus in a hospital. i delighted to see that he is recovering well and to have such a strong will and fighting spirit to overcome his injuries and his disability. i will see you in a few days time for Muse concert man! speaking of MUSE, their concert is just around the corner! been waiting eagerly for almost two months!! hahaha then in the evening, head back to tampines and meet up with ain & imran. another couple trip to plan with. initial plan is to go cameron highlands... but changed the destination to phuket. i am okay with anything but soon had a reality checked in between. how am i suppose to get the money?? phuket in may and Australia in june/july. d'oh! i really have to be stingy and thrifty from now onwards. =( then come today (Sunday), went off to JB together with amalina and her younger bro. so two 2B bikes head off to 2nd link. it was our first time riding there. riding at 110km/hr feels great but its very dangerous when there's strong winds. having to battle the wind, we must always be alert and stabilise the bike immediately when a sudden surge of wind is passing by. i think bigger bikes should not have much worries unlike our 200cc bike. oh well, changed to a new dunlop tt900 tyres. i feel like doing some modification to the bike but no money now la... got other priorities already. =( ok, gtg sleep now.. |

i was supposed to blog last week but i was busy. and i don't know or what kept me busy. old man already. hahaha. all i can remember is sleeping 12hours a day, fetching gf from work and having dinner outside. my parents just came back from their holiday to Sabah & Brunei. was supposed to follow and parents wanted to pay for my expenses... but i declined because mum bought a new camera lens for the trip. i don't wanna go and make them have lesser money to spend on their holiday. instead, i stayed at home, clean and feed the cats. and i cooked a few meals for myself. succcessfully cooked a spaghetti bolognese & special fried rice. outstanding la! also, i have started to ride the bike again and it felt great but i am more cautious and practise defensive riding. gf still don't allow me to ride alone until i am fully recovered. i feel that my leg is better now i can walk without feeling any pain but if i step in a little akward position, if will hurt damn bad ah. lol. as of today, i have managed to sell 2 of my Ikea beds. im am still left with one more new and unused set. thinking of posting it in facebook and see if anybody wanna buy it or not. if not, maybe must try my luck and return it back to Ikea if they can still accept it since they have the 100days return policy (but mine is like more than 500days but still unpacked. lol!) today also mark the day that i have successfully completed my specialist diploma in supply chain management from Nanyang Polytechnic. after 9months of effort in travelling from tuas to yio chu kang twice aweek after work.. i have managed to pull it off. i feel that i did better this time round for my subjects because my GPA is so much better than i had previously did for my 3year diploma in ngee ann poly. hehehe. apart for these good news... there was a bad incident happen to me and gf. The Killers concert that amalina badly wanted to go was cancelled two days before they are due to perform!! received the sms alert from Sistic while we were visiting our friend at hospital. amalina was shocked and was instantly depressed about it. futhermore, her anger was ignited futher by a comment from an insensitive bitch in facebook. gf even wanted to go to perth just to catch The Killers concert in Feb 14... but i am sorry because due to the short notice, i cannot afford. sorry dear. hopefully they will come back anytime soon and make it up for us. okay la, i've to sleep now. got driving tomorrow morning. |

all this thoughts of friends getting into bike accident, losing a limb and badly injured, makes me really have a lot of thoughts going on especially with my gf riding it to work everyday. i know its very cheap and convinient to ride but we are compromising our safety and life once we ride. haiz... if i am going to get a car, it is going to drain my pocket but nonetheless, it is something that we have to pay for safety and comfort. hmm must save smart and get a car no matter what. anyway, had lunch with my bosses as well as a guest from India. over lunch, i talked to them over my pay rise as well as my prospect for my current company. i know 2009 was a pretty bad year but somehow things got so much better after June 2009. my pay rise and bonuses in 2009 were freezed and my boss knew that i am clearly unhappy about it. she understood my feelings and even supported and willing to let me go if i were to get a better opportunity outside. but somehow or rather, i felt that they are not doing so much to push for my welfare and for what they had promised me. come april, hopefully i will be getting a raise. anything below than $300, i will go. actually right now i am looking for other jobs but kinda skeptical about it because what i ask for could be too much. but heck, i will just try my luck. =) i can't wait for the weekend to go swim and do some other activities. |
