...And Scenario 3

And scenario 3 is very common that people may encounter one way or another la. Recently, I have been asked to go down to have lunch with a friend (before I go down I already know what I am going to get. *in the previous post i already explained already the whole thing. It's about network marketing*). I went there just wanting to know how it operated and see if i liked that idea.

Hai after the presentation of so called business idea (actually is psychoing using money and more money and flashy car) i dont like the idea la. Dont ask me why. I just dont believe what they can offer la. It's like too good to be true for me.

Okay back to the irritating part. After a few days, my friend called and asked me when can he meet me up again and present his product to me. I told him that I would be tied down with work until the end of oct. He dont believe me and kept smsing me every other day telling me to give him a chance to share product.

Look, The situation is this, I dont even have time to go have a good sleep and a good meal, What makes you think that I have time to listen to your so-called product presentation? BA!! In the end i just simply ignore the person la.

P.S., just in case you all dont know why I am rushing for time, Here are my deadlines:

  1. 2nd oct FYP report draft.
  2. 4th Oct Ministerial Forum.
  3. End of first week of Oct Integrated Design Project

And on top of that i have 2 lessons, one of which has to hand in weekly assignments of things that I have not learnt before i.e. Control Beyond Engineering.

Nonsense..

These days I really have no room for tolerating nonsense. With the stress level piling up with project works and MORE PROJECTS! I really cannot afford to.

Here's scenario no. 1 (This issue occur a few weeks ago when the school just started. And I have already forgotten about it and since these pple involved are my friends, What the heck. But another issue arrived just today so I might as well type this out):

The group has already been formed for a project involving 4 guys and 2 girls. The maximum number of people in a group is 6 and there is this girl who is good friends with the other 2 girls in the group wasn't involved and the other 3 guys have already roped me to make the group 6 members. Then when I was heading home that day one of the grp members SMSed me asking me to see if i can get another grp to join. Why? Because this girl was upset because she was not in the group. Why is she upset? Because she and her good friend had already made arrangements to be in the group BUT this group friend didn't breathe a word when we were discussing about who would be in the group. It's a consequence of not speaking up during meetings.. BA! I've got to admit I was EXTREMELY irritated then. but now I'm fine le.. Sometimes i just feel that my click of friends do not speak up enough la.. xian.. It could have saved us so much trouble lei..

Now's scenario 2: I am involved in this Forum committee la and i have 2 programmers working under me. A few weeks ago, I was chasing my programers for the programmes I asked them to plan for the forum and NOBODY responded (email, smses, and PHONE!!). Just a few days ago, there is this programmer who emailed me asking how was everything since it's 2 months away. I asked him where he was and I was looking for him a few weeks ago. He replied to me saying that he was on a long holiday!!! and WITHOUT INFORMING ME!!! Oh my!! What i asked him to do has been done BY MYSELF!!! and he comes in and say he has a long holiday.. If he had told i would not be so pissed BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE COURTESY TO EMAIL ME AND SAY HE'D BE AWAY!!! ARGH!!

Now I am asking myself, shall I be nice? or shall I just unleash the evil side of me... I really dont have that patience to talk to pple nicely anymore.

*Warning*: Dont irritate me during these 2 months, I'll simply chew the person's head off. Don't even think about it. *ROAR*

Festival, Carnival, Concert

Events to attend before I die:

  1. Last Night Of The Proms - UK (Till now I am still wondering why I didn't go for this concert when I was in Birmingham) - July
  2. Oktober Fest - Germany - October of course!!
  3. Carnevale Il Venezia - Venice, Italy - Febuary (too bad I wasn't there during the Feb period).
  4. New Year Concert - Vienna, Austria - New Year's Eve

Sigh.. Though these places are far from home but I reckon it would be a very good experience to attend these events. Like watching the Proms, we can see the patriotism of the English and see many of them attend the concerts be it in the Royal Albert Hall, in the parks in various cities... Wooohooo and sing the land of hope and glory with the pple there.. Hmm.. haha (*psst* I subconciously learnt their national anthem when I was there). hehehe

Anyway, the people at hte concert are so much more spontaneous over there as they clap, sing.. etc etc whereas singaporeans just sit there and do nothing like wood blocks/statues. Worse, Singaporeans leave concerts even before the whole thing ends!! How Disrespectful to the performer who is giving their all to give the best performance to the audience and these people just walk out.. Hai...

Woch #2

2nd week into the new semester and I am as good as dead now. Spend the whole of my holidays (3 months and mind you is 3 whole bloody months) soaking in my lab trying to figure out ways to improve my experimental setup and eventually clear all my experiment. What did i achieve? NOTHING!!! Been stuck on how to make the flow constant. Now that everything is settled and is just a matter how many experiments I have clear. 9 x (2+3+4). Hai... and I wonder if i have the time to finish everything. I may even have to stay overnight in Hydraulics LAb and work over the weekends. Hai... and i still have a design project to handle (which is tentatively same deadline week as my FYP). There comes a question about myself. How come my friends can do experiment smoothly and not spend 3 whole months (some even spend like 2 weeks during holidays)? Or am I stupid or something? Hai... Lazy to compare la... Week 10 will be my death week. With design project deadline, FYP deadline and Ministerial forum. I think this few months will not have sleep.

P.S: Sometimes I feel like laughing when looking at some of my friend's nick on MSN. He just amused me la... They just like to announce everything on it. Ha. Ha. Ha. and This person is just beginning to get on my nerve with his attitude la.
To protect the innoncent I shall not name who la.

Network Marketing

Have been asked to listen to people talk about network marketing. What they promised does not impress me even one bit. I dont know.. What promise is money, flashy cars etc etc. But I dont know why i am not moved.. Maybe just plain stubborn ba. I think I am looking for more than money ba.

School Opens Woch #1

Why some people just refuse to speak up? They could have just save us so much time and trouble if she were to speak up and prevent people from getting pissed off by small issues. HAi....

School had just started for only one week and I have so many things to do. On top of that, as I mentioned it's just only the first week, problems have already come to meet me. I can predict a very very bad semester up ahead. Nothing much to say for now, no time either. As the saying goes 有时间死 没时间病。

P.S. I have 4 projects now - FYP, Integrated design , Ministerial forum and the last and my favourite - design and build my own grave for my resting at the end of the semester.

Frustrated

I've officially been pissed off by my fyp. Everybody's been doing FYP, only MINE gives me so much problem and with minimal results sigh.. Been asking Technicians, contractors blah blah blah... to give me advices to improve on some of the problems but NOTHING!!! still back to square one. Experiment cannot start, and back to asking technicians, contractors blah blah blah again.. One thing though, I went to the other lab so frequently that the 'uncle' there knows me and when I tell Mr Foo (technician designated to help me) about my problem, this uncle springs into action. And this 'uncle' is the technician from another lab whom I used to fear because of his loud voice (we used to call him CSM - Company Sergeant Major).

I think i need a break, maybe a week or 2 in somewhere out there. I am eyeing a trip to UK next yr, any takers? I missed one of my pal's wedding yrs ago in India due to work commitment. I think i should go over to london to pay her a visit. And to Birmingham to visit this China guy who looked after me when I was there for my attachment.

P.S. he has just got a baby girl who is extremely cute haha maybe should buy something over for her hehe...
