____________['[*Moments Sharing*]']___________

Recent Updates for the past Week (1st Nov – 8th Nov)

Its been long since I have the time to blog, once I have started my temp assignments. Since its been long time since I am able to online, It just clearly shows that my workplace has…no access to internet and stuffs… First of all, I would like to share about my temp assignment work environment, the pros and the cons.

Cons (WHAT TURN ME OFF!)
1) The workplace is located at Tiong Bahru area, not near the mrt, at the industrial area.
2) The pay is erhmm, not to my expectations, yet the distance from my house to workplace seems like not worth the pay to work there, but since its only for 2 weeks, while waiting for news from my full time job, I decided to accept the job.
3) Each day was like harder n harder for me to wake up early n travel long distances to work..
4) There was no internet, so no music for me to listen while doing boring admin work..
5) Despite having a ‘luxury’ working environment, the room is dusty and have a strong unpleasant smell, so having a sensitive nose, my sinus prob tend to occur frequently.

Pros (WHAT TURN ME ON!)
Fortunately, this job is some how different from other jobs I have worked before.
1) My colleagues are surprisingly friendly, consist of 3 females, who were much more older than me.
2) Its been a long time since I have my lunch together with my colleagues and chat happily with them. Usually I would be packing lunch from outside and having my lunch alone with my office computer.
3) My work desk is by far the best ever been assigned. Imagine 1 big room, with a big table, though no computer, but its all just for me. For some moment, I feel as if I’m a big boss haha.
4) So after day 2, I decided to bring my own laptop to workplace so that I can listen to my songs. I am very satisfied with the working style there.

Some other good and bad news I have to update about my jobs issues.

1) News from my full time job finally came. Though its only an email, but having news from them is better than none. Though the email stated that the start date could not be confirmed, but it was stated that by late Nov, they would be able to tell us when the training is gonna start. I just hope that my uncertainties feeling be cleared soon so that I can have a better idea on how to plan my things b4 I start work.
2) I actually have plans for another job which is a 6 days assignment, from 18 Nov – 23rd Nov, after my 2 weeks assignment, from 2nd Nov – 13th Nov) I went for the interview n was surprisingly confident of myself during the interview n I speak smoothly. The interviewer confirmed my position immediately on the spot, but have to go thru the procedure with the agency.
3) However, I am faced with another dilemma. The current temp assignment I am working on hopes to extend me until end of nov n they are willing to pay me at a higher rates after the 2 weeks. However I have been confirmed of my other jobs, so I am like being caught in the middle.
4) Since I dun wish to waste the effort of my agent helping me so hard to find me a job, I managed to find a friend of mine, to replace me. My agent will be arranging my frd for an interview on coming Mon, so I hope he managed to clear the interview, then I can concentrate on the extended assignment till end of the month cause it pays higher n I dun have to be bounded by cut off time from the agency n having to wait longer to get my pay. I have lots of bills n stuffs needing me to clear every month, hence I can’t wait too long for my little pay to come.

1 of the day, my colleagues happened to saw my screen saver on my laptop, so they came to see out of curiousity. They were like, wah when u I looked very handsome at tat time, before I ‘Fa1 Fu2’. Cuz we were talking casually, of cuz I was being questioned about my personal life. So they wanna see my photos. They commented on the photo I used to took with my 2nd ex’s while I was celebrating her birthday 1st time with her at Billy Bombers. Thinking back, it was like year 2007. There was a photo taken tog at billy bombers n they were like ‘wa Ni Zhe Zhang Zhao Pian Hen Hao Kan Lei!’ It was the 1st time I received such compliments. Haha. Of cuz the me now was like a little out of shape. They told me tat pic, my figure is just nice. Not too big, not too slim. They like the photo which I scanned the small neoprints into the com. It was nicely taken. Of cuz not to forget I was being teased. They encouraged me to slim down back to tat time, which in fact I am trying hard to..

That’s all I guessed for my work updates. I shall moved on to my life. I shall be taking some pic of my work environment n post them here next time.

Well since work is always boring, stress relief activities cannot be less as well.
Since wil is so free at home, we decided to meet up at sun plaza to play cards after my work. Well, I dun understand y, recently he’s so lucky that he’s been on a great winning streak.. Ben is too far from us n busy, hence he cannot be coming down often. As for me, I am really down on losing streak, exact opposite from wil..

This is extremely sad for me lo.. the highest credits I managed to win is 1.4k plus from both of them. Of cuz they were on credit only, cuz we were all poor man. Ben is the most unlucky 1. He owe the most or in fact he is now the only 1 owing us cash.wil originally owe me 400+ while ben 1k+, but recently cuz wil is so lucky that he keep winning until fri nite, we play overnite until morning n currently the latest results of the 3 of us is, ben owing wil 1k+, instead of me…Ben only owe me 500+ left..Meaning to say, my losing streak has cuz me to lose about more than half of my winnings..

From 1.4k+ until now 500+.. I have lost almost 1k of my winnings. Our game play is always fixed.. 1 hr of taidi, 4 piles, each pile taken by 3 of us n the 4th pile is the drawing card, should either player decided to pass, have to take a card from the pile. The rules of double n triple applies n this means, there’s very high chance of getting stuck triple.. We played each card 20 cents.. with four of a kind played out, each player have to pay 2bucks n royal flush 4 bucks from each player.

2nd hour, we switched game to wat we call ‘Ah Cha’? It’s a game we learned from frds n it seemed like normally old ah ma like to play this game. Its some how similar to mahjong but its easier to play. Its like each player has 5 cards each, only dealer have 6 cards. So u have to match 3 pairs of cards to win. Meaning any Ace matched wif any 9 to form a 10, is consider 1 pair. So respectively, 2 with 8, 3 with 7, 4 with 6, 5 wif 5, 10 with 10, J with J, Q with Q n K with K. So the game play starts wif dealer discarding a card from his hand to the discard pile n if the next player wants the card, he will pick it up n discard another 1, like mahjong. If he dun wan to pick up the card, he pick 1 card from the draw pile n discard another card.

Under normal condition, the person who throws the winning card, have to pay 2. our stakes are 1 – 2 bucks. So the other player who did not throw out the winning card have to pay 1 buck to the winner, just like mahjong. Ours is custom rule cuz we find that its really unfair if 1 player anyhow play, so a rule of ‘Fang Pao bonus is introduced’. Other special conditions are winning doubles, 2 bucks – 4 bucks. Means the game is won with 2 pairs of the same, eg u win with 2 sets of 2 with 8 n another set of other matches. For triple, Is u have 3 sets of same matches. For Picture cards, 5s & 10s, get 4 of them n a different other sets is also triple, with the rate of 3-6.

For the 3rd hour, is change suit game which we managed to come out wif. Each of us were distributed wif 10 cards each, then we take turns to draw cards from the draw pile n discard 1 card, without showing the players wat the card is, until there’s no more left for us to draw. Think each of us can only draw 7 times. So after which, we will form sets of 5 cards. 1 higher n 1 lower (texas poker style – high card lowest, 1 pair, 2 pair, 3 of a kind, straight, colour, house, four of a kind, then royal flush) So we compare the highest set we can make among the 3 of us n see who has the highest. Then we compare the 2 set which is the lowest 1 to see who wins. The win are calculated, a player who wins the highest set, gets 2 bucks from each player. The 2nd set will get 1 bucks each. So if a player wins both sets, then only the winnings would be high cuz the amount will be doubled. Meaning 6 bucks from each players. The same special conditions apply for extra cash like four of a kind n royal flush, 2 bucks n 4 bucks each.

The 4th hour is usually our favourite game, Microsoft Hearts! But cuz only 3 players so we have 1 pile being discarded away making the calculating of probability difficult. Shooting the moon still applies, winning will be higher. Greedy people lose more if the failed to shoot the moon.. The game play is more on a person’s knowledge to the game, technic and experience. OF cuz each of us have become skilled players in this game.

The last game is what ben call it ‘No brainer game’ cuz we dun have to use our brains to think in the game, but more on luck. The no brainer have 3 game play. 1 is black Jack, 2 is Thai Black Jack n 3 is ‘4 cards’. We rotate each players for each game to be a banker for 5 rounds each. After this game is consider 1 pot of game. So depending on the time we have to play, we set how many pots of game we can play. Anyway tat’s all for game.

Next is PSP which Ding lend me. I have returned him as he needs to lend his frd who is going oversea..so now, no more games for me to play while travelling long distance of work.. Sigh.. Cuz recently I am very hot about a tennis game called virtual tennis 3.. It was so fun, especially I can play with my frds.. I managed to play it well, except some moves I dunno or not very good in executing them. I did consider to buy a PSP next yr, but prob is, I think It might not be worthwhile just to buy a psp for the game but ended up not using it in the future…like waste $ just for 1 game..So Should 1 invest in a PSP or not?

Movie Review: Nightmare on Elm Street 5

This series is much more interesting n not lame than 4th Series. Its quite scary, overall I feel that its nicer than 4th. This time they managed to make a different ending. Usually the main role of the previous Series, end up dying in the next series, this episode, the main lead actually managed to survive in the end. Not bad, I shall await for the next series..

Movie Review: Michael Jackson’s This is It

Well it has been a long time since I went to a cinema to catch a movie. Well finally Michael Jackson’s last movie is shown in the cinema for only 2 weeks.. I was worried that I cannot get to watch it, hence wil helped me buy a ticket during his lunch break at cine leisure a day before the actual screening. Meaning we catch it on thurs, wil went to buy it on Wed.

Sadly, I really can’t trust wil to settle things for me, without having probs… The seats he bought was like…to the side? Dun talk abt this 1st.. Thurs was a bad day, cuz I was 15 mins late from work, so I stayed back 15 mins. The show was at 7.20pm. It was raining tat day.. I thought of taking bus to tiong Bahru Mrt, instead of walking, thinking tat its faster, but the crowd at the bus stop n the traffic proof to me tat, I make a wrong move.

I could have reached station at 6.35pm by walking, but ended up I reached at around 6.50pm by bus.. Regret to the MAX!. So I rushed all the way to meet wil, so ended up rushing everything just to not miss the first part of the movie. (I prefer to not rush things). Here comes the seat part.. Everybody bought the middle seats..except only a few of us sitting at the sides… its not tat the middle seats were all taken..Dunno how he buy the tickets.. Think everytime I am the 1 running the errands, so they took me for granted..
Now ask them to buy for me, all buy until like tat..

Anyway, back to the main issue. MJ has always been my idol in music industry. Naturally I would love to see his fantastic dance moves n was very sad when I noe that he is gone.. So I could not afford to miss this movie.. It was a documentary or rather a filming which was going on during his rehearsal for his final performance during mid of this year? Anyway cuz of the mishap, the rehearsal was not put to live..

I watched this 2 hour movie attentively.. His dance moves were still fantastic n just like his young days.. However, he did not show his moonwalk as well has his rounds of spinning.. I guessed probability he was old already, or it was a rehearsal hence he dun wanna display them. I managed to catch all of his Favourite songs and some of the parts, I can’t helped getting a little emo that I almost grief for his lost.. but of cuz, I managed to control my ahem..a tear or a 2. It was touching n heart warming indeed. Just to look at him during the rehearsal, I wish I was there too, receiving guidance n patience from him..
A movie which I love most n I hope to keep it in future to watch again n again….

Anime : School Rumble

Well this is an anime which I repeatedly watching it on n off until I dunno where I stopped. This anime was introduced to me by my ex gf.. So I only watched a few episodes, hence since I have no more anime to catch at this point of time after I finished Suzuka. I decided to complete this School rumble. I have yet to complete it, but soon. Stopped at episode 24, almost to the end of season 1. Well, I like this anime n there’s 1 think which sets me daydreaming again..

Yup this is especially so for Yakumo’s special power in the story. It was something for a guy like me, which lacks confidence, craving for such power.. it would definitely be great to be able to see the mind of ppl who loves me, rather the truth from the heart, behind the words spoken out from the mouth. So if I have interest for a ger, I dun dare to move forward cuz I fear rejection. The 1st step is usually the very tough move to make. Unless I can read the person’s heart n noe tat she loves me too, I will definitely go after her n confess to her..

However, thinking negatively as a balance, having such power such Is tough too.. Just like Yakumo, giving in a lot to her elder sis, Tenma.. Of cuz her sis is also very good n caring towards her, worrying a lot for her.. It was a heart warming kind of anime, I love such romance animes. Another bad thing about this power was, it would definitely be very hurtful, if u were able to see ur love 1, lying to u.. Such pains I have experienced b4 when I discover them, was very hurtful to me. Trust were broken n hearts shattered..
Looking forward to 2nd series, School Rumble 2.. I wonder how the ending is..1 thing I hate about anime was, the story, they make until the r/s so complicated n the end is, everyone was left dangling down there wifout any outcome. Nobody got tog..

bubbles of sadness.
