A brand new life......

on Wednesday, November 30, 2005

Some of you might have know that I'm in a new job for just slightly more than half a year. It was kind of a confusing yet exciting experience cuz I have been in my previous job for the last 5 years. Having to leave your good old colleagues, the comfort of your seats where you've seated for the past years and the reputation(good one of course) that you had in the company wasn't a good experience at all. And when you're in a brand new job, you face new colleagues (which you would not know what sort of creatures are they), new boss, new environment, having to adapt everything from head to toe all over again. Excited yet feeling insecure.

While I have already establish the comfort level in my new place here.....it's happening AGAIN!!! Yeah yeah......I'm moving to another job AGAIN. Not because it's not a good place here but it's probably the pull factor is quite strong. I hate to go thru the same experience again of having to adapt to new environment all over again. And the only thing that I'll surely miss is the good colleagues that I have in JSA....Guys and gals....those who are in JSA, you know who u are......:)

I have not reached to the level where I think I can take the job as a retirement job, but at the same time, I do not want to go thru the pain to adapt to new things so often....Hai yah.....hard to please.......hard to satisfy.........HOW like that??

A380 Airbus

on Thursday, November 17, 2005


Check this super huge BIG MAC cum Whopper A380 Airbus that arrived in S'pore last Weds. The one and only double deck aircraft that can hold up to 555 seats!! I noticed that on that particular day, everywhere else was rather quiet during lunch hour. Those crowd in the usual hangout lunch places was disappear until I was told that the airbus is in town!

Having an airport pass that can access to the airside is definitely an advantages in this case. Without hesitation, a whole bunch of us in the office marshal in to the airside. Without us making any effort to look for the fleet, the tail of it was huuuugggggeeeee enough to caught my attention from far. As we go closer and closer, oh my goodness!!!!! IT was sooooooo huge!!! Travellers, airport staff were standing right close to the fleet from the transit area admiring it. Now I know where all those people gone to during lunch hour. Check out the photos here. You notice how small the man is compare to the super jumbo airbus?


Creatures Again!

on Thursday, November 10, 2005

It seems that after my last postings, I got more attacks from those little creatures. First, it suddenly appears out of no where when I opened up the piano chair trying to grab a book. As it was dark in color, it was nicely camouflage by the color of my piano. Imagine if I did not open up the chair cover and sat on that little creature!!!!! I would have fainted........

Yesterday morning, again I spotted another lizard right inside my kitchen sink!! Urgh!!! I think the lizard got shock too....:) So I was like.....ok...leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. I ended washing my sandwich knife in the toilet. 12 hours later when I'm back home, it's still in there!!! I decided to give that little creature another 12 hours hoping that it will disappear by then. It did not!!!! I woke up this morning and it's still there!! Oh no!!!....... I was reluctant to do anything and I seriously do not know what to do man...... I think the lizard is sick lah....else why stay in the sink one whole day, without food some more leh. Well, I can't possibly leave it for another 24 hours. I NEED TO USE THE SINK! I grab the insecticide, and spray and spray and spray on it. You wouldn't have imagine how I spray it, knowing that I dun even dare to go near it. I stood up on a chair and from a distance and spray it hard on it!! Think I used up almost 1/3 of the insecticide...heehee...It responded a while and stopped. I think it's really weak by then. It can't even climb out of the sink. While he's struggling from the toxic and watching it's body turn from cream color to black, I'm also struggling what to do next. I have all kinds of silly thoughts. Shall I drown it first and scoop it up? To cut the story short, I ended up using a bamboo stick, tied up with an unwanted scoop (so that it's long enough for me to keep a distance from it mah), hold it on my left hand, on my right hand is another bamboo stick to push it to the scoop. That scooping process itself took me almost 10 mins leh. So "geli" u know!!! Next, throw it in the bin loh.

Haiz...... so that's the ultimate event of the day for me. I would never have done that if I'm not staying alone. BL, my ex-colleague is another interesting guy. He told me that he once had a lizard that shit on the same spot. He then stick a piece of paper on that same spot and sometimes even put rice grains on it! He ended up having a toilet trained lizard!! I was like......"whatz up man.." Can come to my place and bring some home to rear.

Muahahahaha.......

I hate lizards

on Thursday, November 03, 2005

As far as I know, most people (ladies out there esp) tend to get more irritated or rather "scared" of cockcroaches more than lizards. I'm the opposite, rather extreme one. I can't even bring myself to "shoo" them away using a broom or whatsoever. Very scared leh......It all started when I was still young where I got "attack" by lizards a couple of times. These little creatures will suddenly jump on to my body while I'm opening the letter box or even when I'm scooping rice from the rice cooker!! Everytime when the lizard appear right in front of me, I'll shout for my dad and he will always come to my rescue without fail. Thanks dad!.... He will then take a rubber band and shoot it right on the lizard. Once it got hit and fall on the ground, my dad will use his bare hand to pick it up and guess what's next....... he'll feed the lizard to our one and only insects eating fish. Yea....we had a fish that eats creatures like lizards, toad...etc....Sounds very yeakie right? At times my dad even ask me "any lizards around? the fish has not eaten for days!!". Of course we do have other decents fishes like gold fish...etc As we're staying right up in a hill and next to a mini forest with empty land front and back of the house back then, little creatures like this are very common. Scorpions, snakes, centepede are our frequent visitors within our house compound.

Coming back to where I am now, for whatever reason, I'm seeing lizards wondering around my house this couple of days. I feel irritated by it and my dad is not around to rescue me :( As what I observed, and from the sizes of it, I think these family of 3 is building their own home in my home!!!! wahhhhhhhhhh HELP!!!!! how?how?how? Hopefully they will stay away from me for at least the next 2 weeks....by then....my dad will be here visiting me...... :)

Hard to pleased.........

This entire week is indeed like a "honeymoon" week for me. For most of us who is not taking leave and going to work on Mon, Wed and Fri, it was as if it's a Friday every day. The thing about us is that when there's no holiday...... we'll ended up making comments like "haiz....so sianz...... no holiday". But when there's holiday and even 2 days off in a week, we'll make comments like "haiz....very sian hor.....work one day, off the next day. How I wish the whole week is off". Haiz..... no holiday complain, got holiday also complain... what to do?? Perhaps, not having to worry about financially tide and with plenty of free time in hand for holiday would be ideal.....hehee :)
