Crossroad - dcision time

June 16th, 2007 by eddy-ong

Had this discussion about ‘crossroad’ yesterday, she claimed to get stuck in this junction in life where a damn hard decision has to be made in order to proceed. I believe decisions are hard to make sometimes, it kinda shape one’s life. This topic kinda backfired at me, pointing out that how bad I was in making decisions; I’m living a life which is quite screwed up actually, rather than giving a damn what would be the consequences, I made them blindly and accepting what charges towards me openly. At least I’m taking the expressway, only drawback is I don’t know where that will take me. Question like if I reject another job offer will I be on my way to permanently screw up my life? I know better offers are still out there and they are up for grab, but as long as this better offer existed there will be absolutely no best offer right?

I guess I’m just too afraid to admit that I get chickened out whenever I think of accepting any offers. They look like an invisible lock that bind you to a big tree. Anyway, Im quite happy with what i’ve got now, but when i tell my mom i will be working next month as a desk support she’s like.. ‘oh, okay.. the title doesnt sound right. it sound so cheap’..
I was like so speechless, but to think of taking the job it really comes with some drawbacks.

First its a 2 years contract, means fixed salary and no increment or whatsoever within 2 years. Then there goes your hope to get promoted cuz you basically not entitled for that, unless you’re damn good they give you another offer to become one of their permanent staff, talkin bout 2 layer of barriers to promotion. 3rd, not much technical skills involved here, just have to read the manual, understand the manual and some big shot customer call you just have to get them thru the problems they’re facing.

There might no turning point here cuz contract has been signed, with a 2 months notice if i wanna quit or somthing. The SAP training will be starting soon, just hope the training will change this altogether. It will change everything, or nothing. Whichever it is, its still good. At the very least I’m not jobless.

I Chat with ‘God’

Recently I bump into Tua Pek Kong  (most chinese should be able to recognize this name) , on MSN. I took the chance to ask Tua Pek Kong a question I had in mind for a while, which is ‘What is the L word?’

Tpk_2

A more proper way to describe the conversation

Eddy : Tua Pek Kong, I got one question.
TPK : Whats the matter? Let me give you the answer.
Eddy : Oh, it’s like this. I had a friend who ask me this question.
TPK : What did your friend ask you?
Eddy : ######.. shut up first and listen.
TPK : Sorry, please continue.
Eddy : The question is what is the L word?
TPK : Oh, easy. Its the word starts with the letter L.
Eddy : I knew that, but which word?
TPK : Don’t you know? The L word literally stands for Limpeh ( your father ) and Limbu ( your mother).

Touch N Go - Semi Transparent Concept card
- Had been on this card for like a couple of months now but still cannot finalize it nor receive any payments. Guess I was too naive to release the actual editable AI files to the client before receiving a single cent. I think the world is out to murder me these days by draining life using the "no money no life" method. Anyway, if this card comes out, at least the credit goes to me.

More Free Time Formulae

February 1st, 2007 by eddy-ong

MORE FREE TIME Formula
Time - Final Year Project - Assignment - Class = More Time
More Time + Empty pocket = More Free Time
More Free Time + Itchy hand + Photoshop + Photo = 1st Putra Concept

Dsc00013_c4
It all started when Paul sent me the picture of a cool Blue RX7. My
hands got itchy today so this is what happen when I lay my hands on a
photo and Photoshop. Of course, some free time which happens that I
have a lot of them these days. Dump the project, kick the assignments
and skip all the classes = MORE FREE TIME.

Effects of Ke-Boelooi-an

January 30th, 2007 by eddy-ong

Still no sign of the loan coming in yet. It’s stressful day after day knowing that the ATM cannot dispense anymore money because your bank account does not have enough sum for the greenish notes. There must be something going on with the government body that is responsible dispensing study loans for tertiary students. Either they are efficient but due to slow payback from debtors they are not able to dispense us - the needy students- the cash OR they are ‘government servant ma..’

So I decided, maybe I need to personally ’speak’ to one of them to find out what is going on with the payment for this semester before receiving calls from the school finance department like I’m some runaway debtor.

Me : Hello, boleh tak I enquire pasal loan aku ni. Pasal lain member aku dah dapat loan diorang tapi I punya masih takde jumpa ekornya lagi..

XX : Oh, boleh. Siapa nama encik dan nombor ID encik?

Me : Nama I xxx xxx xxx. ID xxxxxxxxxx. Dari UxxR.

XX:  Sebentar ye, I check rekod encik kat komputer I.

(meanwhile im put to some melody box for like a few minutes. long enough for me to make a coffee and finish it before the other end start to speak to me in human language again. Their system must be real prehistoric, need such a long time to call up a record. I’m not really a big fan of antique so Im not impressed.)

YY: Hello, XXXXX Bahagian PInjaman; Selamat petang.

Me: Ya, hello. Jadi, macam mana dengan enquiry aku tadi?

YY: En Kwai Rie? Maaf, siapa nama encik?

Me: Nama I XXX XXX XXX. Saya nak tanya pasal loan aku ni. Dah lama I tunggu tapi habuk pun takde. Boleh saya tahu apa yang telah jadi dengan pembayaran untuk sesi ini? Biler nak bank-in ni?

YY: Okay, biar saya check rekod kat computer saya dulu. Encik sila tunggu sebentar ye

*Music box again.. this time longer, 8 minutes and 59 second.

ZZ: Hello selamat petang. Boleh saya bantu?

Me: KNN.. ya ya.. lu boleh bantu. Lu bantu I bakar sama lu punya ofis. Berapa kali lu mau saya repit I punya nama ha? u ingat wa punya fon line manyak mulah ar? hali hali call u hali hali tukar olang. hali hali lepas call lu olang i jadi manyak tulan punya. wa saja mau tau bila wa punya money bole masuk bank akaun aku pun tak bole ar? bo ka si la lu olang..

*Hang Upped..

At the end of the day, accomplishment is still zero. No sign of the money, im still single and no honey, life a little too boring so I end up writing,  something i will be doing while I am dreaming. I guess i have to go to sleep now before i write something i’ll do in dreams.. hmm.. probably i’ll ‘call’ them again tonight..

Where is the cash?

January 29th, 2007 by eddy-ong

Basically almost every batch in the school have received their payment last week. You can tell by looking at the way school’s ATM being bombarded by students, all waiting for their turn to cash out some for after school entertainment.

Karaoke session, uber expensive dinner and guilt free shopping spree; heck I’m somewhere in the house looking for stuff to eat. It’s miserable when there is no cash left in the wallet, can’t pay for food, can’t pay for nothing. Except for groceries done at Giant or Tesco.

PTPTN loan - if they still don’t come in by this weekend I’ll be on my way to the hospital to be taken care of. At least foods are free there right? And the shelter, plus the nurses ( although they aren’t those Japanese nurses I always fantasised ) they can be helpful. Please don’t murder me PTPTN.

I quit

Attn: Mr. Tye Lou Beng
Subject : Resignation letter

Dear Sir,
As of today, I would like to inform that I quit from the position "Ah Beng". I find indulgences in loud note exhaust, gigantic spoilers and loud speakers no longer desirable. Thank you.

P/s: Get a life!!

Miss Hypertune 2006

November 17th, 2006 by eddy-ong

This is the Semi Finals of Miss Hypertune held at SODA Sri Hartamas. Real anticipation was heating up few days prior to this event and finally I get to attend this today; Special thanks to Mr. Steven for everything tonite, it was an awesome event. Also thank you for the unlimited Black Label tonite.

The event didnt go as planned at first as something bad happened, some smelly heads reported to the police that there are bombs in the club where we all have to leave the club to make way for the bomb diffusers to get in and do their job. took them long enough, it was around an hour and a half later than planned that the event finally start.

Dsc00418_1Dsc00414

But all in all, it was a great event, although its just the Semis Im sure the finals would be hotter. Extremely good looking girls, very ‘proportioned’ body, great smiles, a lot of Black Label to crunch on and the music, its too happening for something this big to take place in a few hours. But it’s not impossible cuz it just took place here in SODA. Looking forward to attend the Finals next week. Hope its not going to have another BOMB in the CLUB prob again so we can end it fast.

By the way, I hope contestant

number 20 will be crowned next week. Yee HAaa..!

DUH!!

September 19th, 2006 by eddy-ong

It was going to be a great week this week. Much had planned on whats we’re going to do during this weekend until this afternoon. As elaine check my exam result, her face turned weird n said " Ko.. bad news for u.." I have to sup the Entrepreneur paper this saturday. Duh.. there goes our plans, there goes my confidence for the next paper’s result which is Discrete Maths. Rumours sez it, half of IB failed, so guess i’m definately going to be on the lower half of the group.
As i came online just now, May texted me. Luck wasn’t on her side also as she got a D for the same paper. But her case is a little bit more difficult as she’s already on a paid trip, can’t be cancelled now otherwise it’ll costs a bomb.. It’s so hard to predict the result, the only paper i thought i would cross safely failed me.
I’ll be back to PJ again now, study study study. Coffee and books till saturday morning. Aiii..

I went to OneUtama with a mission to grab as much photo as i could of the National Day firework show in Ikano. Reason why i choose OneUtama is, they have lesser ppl here becoz i think they’re not having anything big here this year, and Ikano’s main road is super jam. Anyway, these are some of the pic i took tonight and hopefully those that missed this beauty display of fireworks can have a piece of the show tonight. Selamat Hari Merdeka and happy holidays. I gotta cont revision now. Duh..
