Me here, Xian there... a likely possibility!

I was offered a position to study if some of our researched ideas (not entirely mine) can be implemented in their highly capital-intensive facilities for a 6-mths contract period. Hmm, I can already foresee the 1001 problems (arising from the countless mentioned/unmentioned assumptions used). Jialat. But anyway, why not? It should be excitingly challenging + work scope I like + gain work experience. It's a win-win situation for both parties. *Hmm, just send resume over email + no need to go thru rounds of interviews + no need to take stupid tests + can wear jeans to work*... NICE! Just wondering how much they would pay a snr engineer?

Actually this is quite a good thing... cos my dear Xian may be posted to US for one year. So whether I eventually get a clearance to permanently change my saluation (not via the route of marriage) or not, I will still want to go to US. So after the contract, I'll fly over to be with him and backpack for 1-2 mths (ideally so)... and to stay there for more than a mth, I think I might need a salutation change... haha...

But nothing mentioned above is confirmed yet... so, just wait and see!

Good/Bad news?

Within a span of one week, I received two pieces of news - one regarding Xian's career, one regarding mine. Frankly, I don't even know how to classify them - are they good news or bad news??? Shit! I don't even know how I should react to these news. I'm both happy and sad. It's kind of weird.

What would you do?

Yesterday I slept at 5am and woke up ard 8+am like a zombie-panda hybrid to look at my run results (Sianz... couldn't derive or get anything out of it). Then wanted to get to lab fast fast... so decided to take a cab. Guess what... one aunty arrived after me, saw me waiting for one, decided to jump queue... slowly and quietly walk further upfront until she was blocked by those trees about 50-70m away to hail one before I do. Chao Turtle. Urgh, SICK! How can we get rid of such pests?

Some memories...

My staple must have grown legs by itself and ran away...
{Don't know who use already never return!!!}

All work and no play made me a dull gal. I need a break!
{Heh heh, the invitation to nite cycling this weekend come at the right time... nice nice... ;p}
This nite cycling is different... really!
{They are there to compete in a race, I tag along to kaypoh... to experience what I've been wanting to experience... I'm just too inexperienced to take part imo. I just hope I don't slow them down with the tortoise rate (in a relative term) I'm going. KP reassures me that they are going to go slow. But you never really know how slow is their slow... But since I'm not competing, I can drop out any time... heh heh!}

I'm able to 'pester' my 'boss' everyday no matter how busy he is...
{This is a privilege which no one has before...}

I do hope some history repeats itself.
{When you read the following part, you'll probably not know what the hell I'm talking about unless you are Xi or Xian. Anyway, I'm not going into details... it not smth which I wanted to share with u but still I wanted it to be part of my memory:
This is just so starkingly similar to the time when I communicated to our Sci HOD about a decision to do smth... I did not do it eventually. The final outcome was beyond my expectation, really fantastic! The whole process is so similar (I just cannot believe it!).

Don't kar cheow me...

Some days I just wanted to withdraw from everything possible. Today is definitely one of them. Not that I'll ignore anyone if they approach me to ask me things, but I will keep the talk shortest possible. Frankly, I have absolutely no intention to initiate any conversation with anyone (saliva is very precious, don't want to waste it... save it for the 'verbal friendly combat match' later with my sup). Neh, no lah... I think my to-do-list is flooded with too many stuff (urrggghhhh!), many of which I still have no solution... cracking my brain... don't want anything to disrupt my thoughts....
Exception: The only 'disruptions' I entertained thru my ears are the loads of mp3 in my PC. So when I reach work today, I put on my earphones immediately...

Mistake...

Two years ago, I conveniently threw out something which I've done because it was not entirely related to my work... plus I thought it was not something great anyway.

Urrggghhhh... today I read a paper... someone documented it and the proposed rule became theirs. SHIT!






In future, I must document everything no matter how shitty they seemed to be.

Positive & Negative Feedback

公公/婆婆/爷爷/奶奶/老爸/老妈/干爹/干妈，亲戚，你家的大男人/母老虎/Dear/Darling/小霸王/小王子/小公主，男/女朋友，死党/猪朋狗友，老师，师傅，同学，老板，同事，甚至陌生人 ……

以上列出的人，想必在你的心目中都有不同的位置。
但是最亲，最爱，最疼，最关心你的人不一定能够改变你的某些想法/意见/决定。
奇怪吧！
有时候真的很难摸索为何有些人说的十句，百句，千句，…… 都不如另一些人的一句。
明明不愿意去参预或做的事，竟然可以被一个几年没见面的人说服，就为了给足面子。
这算什么嘛？

最后一道夕阳的余光即将消逝，

漆黑的夜晚渐渐地呈现在大家眼前。

星星和月亮最终没有露脸，

因为它们不约而同地休假去了。

有人快要迷失方向咯！

这一切都是真的,我没有骗你啦!

Haze Shrouds My House

Whenever our house health minister goes on leave, the old lady downstairs must be the happiest person around for she could revive one of her favourite home incinerator haze creation hobby. By the time my sensitive nose registers a slight difficulty in breathing, it was way too late. The grey veil shrouds the outside of my house and the burning smell has already stormed the whole living room. Imagine the faint burning smell that lingered on around you long after the smoke are gone… your hand-washed, nice-smelling, almost drying clothes that reek after that… this incorrigibly inconsiderate old lady! Fish! I couldn’t even comprehend why she is doing all these but I am 101% sure that it is NOT incense papers which she usually claims with conviction (cos the ash-blacken incense-paper-burning basin is clearly empty)… but dry leaves (again!).

关于楼下的老女人，我有话要说。
我一点都不喜欢她。
她的不讲理，令人讨厌。
她的为所欲为，令人憎恨。
但我太了解这辈分的游戏规则，
不便插手，拿她没辙。
如果年少无知，还可能来个谁怕谁的对抗。
现在，陪她泼妇骂街？我办不到！
是怕麻烦，也是不想跟她一般见识。
关于楼下的老女人，我无话可说!
