Today is 1st Nov, so I do a short update on the last week
I had not heard from STK for a fortnight, and looking like this, I guess I had been knocked out. So I would have to start modifying my resume this few days, and kick off job finding possibly this Saturday (Nov 4)
In my present job, I was being told that I am going to have a new computer in install the new AutoCAD 2007 bought a week ago. There’s good and bad. Good thing is, I got new software and new hard ware. The bad thing is, the management told me not to install any personal software in it, particularly Chinese star. Then I might not have to chance to type "WU xia Mi " any more. Another thing is I couldn’t install my MSN again, but I can still chat using ebuddy.
Haze over the last week had improve due to a weakening of SE/SW winds, and some rain also. It happen to coincide with the "Jiu wang Jie" Birthday which lasted 9 days. My mum says that every year at this 9 days, there are bound to have rain, and there are no exception this round either. With the NE monsoon coming end Nov, the haze problem will be very mild for the rest of the month. (if there’s any)
28 Oct
The morning, I wake up early so to go to my dad’s house. Today, I am supposed to persuade my dad to go to CDC at Jurong East to look for CDC assistance (in finding a job). After pondering for some times, I realized that his gara guni business couldn’t really cover his daily expense. So working some part time would be better.
But then, my father wasn’t willing to go, because he was being rejected several times, so I went on his behalf. I reached Jurong east CDC at 1115 am, only to be informed that the job matching dept had moved to JTC summit. I reached the place at 1130. The personnel weren’t very friendly and coldly told me that my dad needs to come down personally. Looking at it, I had a very big problem. How to get my dad to come down? I must think again.
29 Oct
The morning, I spent time doing housework, before visiting my friend, Rohadi for Hari Raya Puasa celebration. Another friend, chong pei didn’t inform me early enough so I can meet them at 1330 to go together. But I still got there by driving at 1430 hours.
The gathering was rather amicable. Other than Rohadi and Chong Pei, and also another lady (Kee Chia), the rest I wasn’t familiar. All the staff joined MSA after me, only Rohadi worked the longest (8 years). A few of MSA old staff didn’t make it. I do bring a camera and Rohadi took a few also. Most of the time, we do spent eating and drinking bah. Thing are still fine. Just a feeling, maybe if Chan or Kuan is around, I might feel better.
I did try to talk to Kee Chia, but it never gets more than a sentence. I guess she’s not interested. But anyway, she’s at least 4-6cm taller then me (too tall for my part). But never mind, I do talk to a few other engineers (name forgot) also (just plain talking). Just heard that Mr Ong plays badminton well, I guess it’s a nice thing, at least he don’t over work, and do spent time for relaxation. At 1700, we left. I only got a name card from an ex-Msa staff (Ong Wee Tiong). The rest of them, I guess I should forget them very soon. Kee Chia says she will pass me her email, so I just wait bah. Waiting is a nice thing. Whether will she does this is not important. I guess she won’t bah.
And now is November again, another two more months, and the year 2006 will ends. So any plan for this month? I guess not. My handset earpiece is failing completely. But I might just wait until it’s totally spoilt before buying a new one, very poor recently.
Since this year, some of my friends and colleagues suggest I should do something to get a lifetime partner. And they say those from Vietnam or Thailand can be very nice. I told myself, I still prefer Singaporean, and that should be Chinese (just because I love Chinese language very much). Ok ah, thanks for these people for their concern. But things not moving, there’s nothing I can do. Maybe wait is the word. Maybe, if I still can’t get one by 35, I would then consider other options.
Meanwhile, I will take time to learn some simple Malay, so I can talk to my biao di and biao mei, when I visit Malacca next time.
I should stop for a while
And write later
Cheers
Selemat Jalan (Good Bye)
Jampa lagi (see you again)
