i love my N95!
i played around with the GPS,it's interesting & cool enough.just that my estate block number still has yet to be 'acknowledged' in it,lol.

the phone to me is not as bulky as it is shown on the site,and surprisingly,it's rather light too.
the package comes with:
handset
1gb memory card
TV cable
USB cable
battery
screen protecter
a nice carrying case
earpiece & remote
installation CD
map installation CD
manuals
1 year warranty

i am sure that i will not sell this phone even if i am broke,because this phone is totally different from the other nokia models.i will keep it :)

but my dream phone is not N95,rather it's Apple iPhone,which is going to be released in asia
only in 2008.

oh ya,the volume of N95 is really loud,like a radio,i thought it was on par with N73 but NO,it's much louder. OMFG~!
slept at 3+am but woke up at 7+am,too anxious to take pics with my N95!!
starting from my bedroom first!





taken from balcony (service yard)

passage way:




bedroom 1:

managed to persuade mum to lend me 1.3k as i can't get rid the temptation to own a set of nokia N95!heard that it costs $1288.(have a-never-before feeling that i will keep this phone and never sold it)
after i woke up in the morning,i can't wait but to do a follow up reading on a dedicate thread for n95 on hardwarezone.that was 8+am.
i called up singtel and asked them are the stocks coming in,they said no,blah blah blah...
so i waited till 9+am,i called up han (a handphone dealer),to help me check whether his supplier is carrying n95.
he got back to me and told me it is very ex,i asked him how much,he told me $1258!
quite ok lah,so i told him i was keen on it.

i quickly took a shower,and suddenly thought of whether the package comes with a 2gb memory card,i called up han and asked him to help me ask,then get back to me.

he called me and said that it comes with 1gb instead of 2gb,as the standard package for all come with 1gb card.so i told him i will go down to his shop and asked him to wait for me.

so i walked to his shop anxiously after i got off a cab,and so i took out my wallet and started counting the money.but halfway through it,han said that i would have to wait after 4pm as his supplier do not have the stock on hand.
i was pissed off,and raised my voice telling him i want it by today,instead of i have to wait till tml.
he told me he can just send it over to my work place but no way he can do that as i am working at a very restricted place.at that moment,i had a thought that i wanna get MC ,then call up nick to makan together.but i do not wish to break my good attendance of record at work,so i changed my mind.

then suddenly thought of mum would be at home too,so i gave han my address for the delivery.

the time set to send the phone over,was 7+pm,then changed to 9pm as mum was not at home.
called mum but she said she did not received any call from han's wife (he asked his wife to send.)

han told me over the phone that his wife's car broke down.he told me i can only get the phone in the next morning,i get frustrated after he said that,i mean didn't we already agreed on the timing?even if the car broke down,his wife can fetch a cab what.

i told him angrily that i insisted to get it on that particular day.he then asked his son to send for him.

luckily jason,my colleague who was kind enough to give me a free ride home,if not,i would have taken a cab.(because i was so anxious on n95)

i took lift up,and accidentally pressed on 11th without knowing,then i quickly walked to 'my' new house,and i was surprised to see that the lock of the metal grill door had disappeared,and i can't open the metal door.
made a call back home,line engaged.call mum's hp,never picked up.that really worried me.and it even made me more suspicious that something has happened to mum.

there was a couple coming out of their unit just next to the house i was at.so i asked the lady any idea how she uses the key to open.in the end,her husband tried it too,he asked me did i get the unit no.3 wrong.
i looked up at the unit number.GOD DAMN JESUS,it was not my unit!!!
i apologised,they asked me something about the structure of the room since i told them that i just shifted in.

so ended up i invited both of them to my house and take a look. lol
AND..........
I SAW MY N95 BOX LAYING ON THE DINING TABLE!!!!

to be continued with pics hours later......

Friday, March 30

bought a set of Aegeo-M speakers as recommended by sam,of course i did read up about it (though not detail :X) and it is well recommended by others too.

bought a set of burger meal for frankie,for the effort he had put in fixing the toiletries in our bathrooms. yes mum & i are satisfied of the overall deco. the bathrooms sure look nice with the toiletries.

the guys from Ikea have fixed up the stuffs mum & i have ordered,good job.but mum seems to regret for the bed she bought as she miscalculated the size,so she is giving it to me.i am fine with it,since it gonna saves me the time to hunt for a bed :X

the small table for service yard (so called balcony lol) looks just nice attached on the wall.the table is for the purpose if we want to makan while enjoying the scenery :P~~~~~~~~

the coffee table makes us headache,because all the sofa are big,the table itself is not small too.
so we have to think how to arrange the tables & sofa.but the coffee table is very nice,a see through glass top & underneath the glass,we can put whatever display deco in it,ie stones,sand,etc just to make it above the edge.

the footrest is nice if put together with my 3 seater sofa in my room.wanna make my room as comfy as possible!

last but not least,my office chair,i'm lovin' it.i am laying back against the chair and type,very comfy.the chair is tall enough for me to rest my head on it.

my house is turning into a home day by day,for now,you guys just wait for my house warming party!

and n95 might be launched later today.

Thursday, March 29

things have been done yesterday:
1. plasma TV & home theatre set were up
2. washer & dryer up

have applied first half-day leave for yesterday and today,because of the deliveries.
the painters came and did a final touch up,another came to drill a hole through the feature wall
in order to put the cables/wires in.
plasma tv is 42",feel that it's rather big for our living room.and the image is not sharp,the
delivery guys said that it is due to the rooftop antenna,not the TV itself.i have to double check again on this.if not,are we going to experience this kind of quality in the long run?

washer came but was told by the installer to call up the company so that they will send people down to teach us how to use it FOC.
dryer came,very easy to use,just on the socket followed by 'do,re,mi,fa,so' sounds (so cute!) and on the power of the machine,set it to auto.
and that's it.

frankie may be kind enough to treat me makan.why i say that?i don't know whether to appreciate him or not because i guess,he has earned so much from us on renovation. :X

he is kind enough to mop the floor of the living room & wash the corridor.mum said that not all the contractors are kind enough to do these.

was the first time to go to work from punggol,tucked in my uniform,combed my hair with gel,switched on my iPod,put on my 2X-S and off i go,feeling was great while walking to the bus stop by 'cutting through' the opposite estates.
ok lah,the duration of the journey took me around an hour.(plus waiting time)
bus fare wise,i still got to 'monitor' it today.

nothing much at work,less shipments,shiong also shiong awhile,all the stuffs were finished by 930pm.really slack.knocked off work at 10.30pm,took bus back to punggol plaza as i thought i could buy pizzas from canadian pizza,but they closed.
went to the kopitiam to ask for money notes changing,the auntie said they do not accept a 1000 dollar note for change.understandable,such a big note of moolah.

so ended up i bought a big pack of potato chips from Cheers.took a cab home though it's near,cab fare $3.reached home at 1140pm.

items that are going to be delivered today by Ikea:
1. coffee table
2. my office chair
3. mum's queen size bed
4. some toiletries
supposed to have my 3 seater sofa too,but no stock. :(

and hwz people said that n95 is going to be launched earliest by tomorrow.retail price $1298.

Tuesday, March 27

yesterday was a busy day for all of us.mum and i went over to new house to do 'the neccessaties',some chinese tradition.then we went back to old house again,nick came over and helped out whatever rubbish that were needed to throw.

went to the bank with mum as she needed me to escort her as she was withdrawning a large amount of cash.after which,we have cleared off whatever expenses incurred.
were rushing for time as there were some stuffs left uncleared.
yoyo,our property agent,came over to collect the old house keys & her commission $$$$.
imagine she is taking 2% from the seller & the buyer respectively,how long am i going to earn that amount of wages? lol

everything went on quite smoothly,house movers came and chop chop finished the work.

till every boxes from the old house were put inside one of the bedrooms in new house,it really looks like one small chute. lol.
and the renovation still undergoing,they have yet to finish fixing the carpentry works. :|

we then took a cab down to 'Silver River',a furniture shop located at paya lebar.on the way there,we dropped nick down along hougang as he has to pick up his sister from sch.
thought we would buy our beds from them,but no,in fact,we have bought nothing.

as i have to settle my payment for my 2X-S,mum & i took cab to wilson's.no she did not went into wilson's shop lol.
after which,we flagged a cab down to alexander Ikea.it was my ever first time to patron there.
and in the end,the three seater sofa was not availabe.and total damage for the items: $1.7k

took a cab back to punggol as mum & i were tired.damage: $15.

tidied up abit of boxes,took a shower,explained to mum how much and what were the things she have spent on.
shared the same mattress with mum as we do not have a bed.

woke up 7+am today,and mum asked me to look at the sea just across my bedroom,it was beautiful,with mist.and the reflection of the sun on the sea.very nice.

for today,all the carpentry works have been fixed on.left only those items which are going to be sent here tomorrow.and i still need to hunt a queen size bed,and a 3 seater sofa for my room.

and tomorrow,work.
things to look forward,a queen size bed & a 3 seater sofa.

Sunday, March 25

it was the first time i wore DHL uniform to work on saturday. LOL
infact from now,i would have to wear uniform on every sat.unlike the previous time,when all of us wore smart casual to work.

though it may be much lesser shipments over at ASC,still,the overall workload was still as many as before.wtf sia,really busy and pek chek.i vented my anger by shouting out very loud.still lan lan have to finish up the work before i knock off.
have told sebas that is it going to be like this on every saturday?i started to feel stressed.seriously.
hopefully next saturday things turn out better.

the representative from a house movers company came over my house and quote.
damage: $288.quite ok lah since it is the promo price.norm price $350.
so they are coming to shift the stuffs over to new house at 2pm on monday.

mum intend to go over to Ikea alexandra on monday night,to buy beds & stuffs.
hopefully we get our beds soon.

for aircon issues,fuck it.ended up an arguement with frankie,so mum & i just let him do it since he has done the piping & stuffs.it would be up on tuesday morning.

mum's colleagues came and shifted the old furnitures downstairs.and she gave them $70 and some small bottles of wine.so now,the only thing left unpack,is my computer. LOL
will do it tomorrow late night as i need to use the internet. lol

YES,1 MORE DAY!!!!!!

Saturday, March 24

frankie called me and said that there is no stock left for Mitsubishi Starmex aircon.he said we have to wait till end of april if we insist on this model.so i asked for his recommendation on other energy saving models,he told me Daikin.
so i said that i can't make any decision as i am not the one paying for it.told him i will call him again after i discuss it with mum.

mum is fine to wait for a month,but i told her to consider daikin,she said it is more ex than starmex.she said that frankie will bring the aircon brochure to her work place.
SMS eric asking for recommendation too,he replied me Panasonic as it is cheaper & quiet.
he also recommended me his friend who is selling aircons,i called up and check.

aircon dealer,ah di,says that starmex no more stock too,infact since a few months back,wtf.
but he recommended me Toshiba as alot of people have bought from him and it is fully made-in-japan.he quoted me 3.5k and told me that he will confirm with me again on the stock of starmex,whether is it coming in next week.

so i called mum and told her that i will go back home and do some 'research' from forums.

seriously,i am not going to wait for a month till the aircon are fixed.it would be such a demoralise to me,imagine the place i am working at is non-aircon environment,and the only time that i am exposed to aircon are on buses,and in the changing room at my company.
total exposure to aircon is like around 3 hours out of 24 hours.
yeah i am whining.

it was the last day i worked with the guys in ASC before they move to XSC.and amidah,my colleague has given me a chocolate,how nice of her!

my biao jie,marie gave me the contact of her aircon dealer.she said maybe he has stock for Starmex and it may cost cheaper too (frankie quoted us $3980)

from the infos i have 'gathered' on local forum sites,the well recommended brands for energy savings are Mitsubishi Starmex & Toshiba.
the drawbacks of the former brand;

1. the thing itself is either made in bangkok or in china.
2. and most probably there are no stock left in singapore.
3. it is abit more noisier than Toshiba,but the electricity consumes lesser.
4. a few Starmex users find it problematic after months of usage.

have told mum about it,she said better to take up Toshiba as it is made in japan.
yeah,japan made stuffs are much reliable & long lasting.

Thursday, March 22

met up with nick for makan,then we took buses to bugis area for that DHL hot balloon thing.
but they put up a notice on the window panel that the weather was not suitable for such activity,so that turned us off.lol
boh bian,so in the end,we took train to toa payoh as mum & i have appointment with HDB at 345pm.so at the mean time,we went to macdonald's to eat again.then went to HDB hub to slack,nick was playing PSP and i listened music while dozing off.
mum was late -_-

luckily we managed to get hold of the appointment.the lady attended us speaks very fluent mandarin with perfect pronounciation.she's a pure singaporean.

the only thing which shocked me & my mum was the money she is getting is not what we expected,it is much lesser.60k of difference,imagine.
so in the end,i would have to use my CPF to pay for the new house,monthly like 370 bucks for 14 years -__-
it is like throughout the 14 years,my CPF OA only accumulates 36k instead of 100k.
so i would be 41 years old by then.

but rach said that i also have a share in this new house,so it is my responsible to fork out too.
yeah,she is right.

3 more days to new house!
have called up singtel to inform the changing of address and they have fixed an appointment with me on the relocation of broadband line.yes,my current home no is able to retain even after i am moving over.
there's alot of things to do on the day of shifting house.

forgot that there's a mini IT product sales on M floor,thought that i could just take a look during break time,but they have already finished packing up -___-.LOL
aiya,even if i want to buy something,i was left with $50 as i have paid $900 deposit on behalf of my mum.

vincent told me that i am staying over,
ok not really a bad news as my grade might be revised to a higher level (means pay would be slightly higher too).
and the shipment would be much lesser,much much lesser.
guess that i have to start from scratch as i would need to learn how to multi task.
drawback is only the working environment,with no aircon.

off on saturday,but work on sunday,not sure whether that would be the first day i am working alone as data entry at ASC ,or the guys (vincent,ibrahim,sebas,wei ming & owen) are coming too.

4 more days!!!!

Wednesday, March 21

wanted to pay my courts installment on thursday,but the AXS machine nearby my house is spoilt,so i had to make a trip to compass point to settle my singtel late payments.so at the same time,i went to courts to make my 2nd last payment.

had a small meeting by tahir (officer) today,he mentioned that the new svc ctr would not have any bus transportation like currently as it is near to expo MRT station.sigh.... have to waste some transport expenses on a MRT trip everyday.but provided if i am going over,that is.

my 2X-S started to disappoint me when the isolation wasn't better than the beginning.i could still heard the sounds of my typing on the keyboard,though not noisy,but can still be heard.i started to worry that i may have to rectify such problem to wilson.
maybe the reason was due to the helix part which i had cut off on the right side (it hurts my ear).

but just when i have given up hope on it,the isolation started to shine,it really impressed me.the sounds of the typing became much softer,not as obvious as before.so i never listened to my music,just had 2X-S on my ears,to test the isolation.
everything around me sounded so soft.the best test would be on the mini bus when going back home,really man,the engine of the bus sounded so soft,i really never ever experienced this kind of isolation!!!!people talking also very soft.

so i tested it on SBS bus as i want to make sure how solid is the isolation.
ok,the beeping of the ez-link card can still be heard,impossible 100% blockage.even when i cupped my ears with my palms,it can be still heard.
the bell sounded very soft,same goes to the TV mobile,the engine sound & everything was very soft but the ez-link card device.
saw a lightning flash,but the sound of the thunder was very soft too.OMFG the isolation is very superb!now i shall say that it has the ability to block out 90+% of ambient noise.provided if i have it sealed properly,that is. (90+% of blockage says it all if you are wondering how soft is soft.)

one very simple test if you are keen to know how superb is the isolation;
just insert your index fingers into your ears.but such test doesn't really mean the actual isolation i have experienced.just to give you a rough idea how is it like.and do note that there is no such thing as 100% blockage of noise unless you are deaf,no pun intended.

the money spent on it must be able to justify the performance.if not,it will be spent innocently.

withdrawn $900 as i have to put the deposit for the lightings & curtain on behalf of my mum.my bank account left 20 bucks plus my wallet,30 bucks :|
of course,my mum borrowed from me as i really have no money left since i am going to pay for my 2X-S which costs 1k too.

minus off everything i am accounted for,i would left 200+ bucks.maybe borrow a couple hundreds from mum. :X

Tuesday, March 20

vincent told me that i might be transferred to new service ctr!but i don't wish to put on high hope unless yow wee said that to me himself. lol

so vincent asked zainah to give one name among the female data entry,but zainah does not want to as she herself want to stay lol.even if there's a must to submit,she will submit her name instead LOL.sounds logic what.

so i think at the end of the day,if no name is submitted,i guess i would have to stay over.
quite alright lah since yow wee assured me that even if sinhub is taking FTZ,he won't let us go over .instead he will get part timers to relieve us.
another good thing about staying over,maybe my work grade would be revised to a higher grade as yow wee said that himself.right now,data entry has the lowest work grade in operation dept.

just got my pay,topped up $50 for ez-link card.bought some bread.
total damage: $61.25

but after paying those that need to pay,i would left only 200+ bucks.maybe going to borrow some money from mum. :X
major damage: 2X-S - $1k.

6 more days to new house!!!!

Saturday, March 17

went to meet wilson,ryner was there too (another proud owner of 2X-S). and so wilson brought us to westin hotel by walking,damn he walked damn fast though small paces.LOL

mr.Sensaphonics aka mr.Taka came from japan yesterday,met him,his command in english surprised me as i always thought that japanese don't speak good english but mr.taka.
rectified my problem to him,he immediately used a soldering tool (or whatever it is),to sand off the silicone of the tips,after i put it on,damn,the pain wasn't around anymore.:)
mr.taka advised me to use a normal sand paper to sand off if there is a need to,but in one direction way.
and so in the end,i made a move first happily while wilson & ryner stayed.
*rooms at westin hotel are small,maybe abit smaller or on par with my new master room at punggol* lol

the isolation of 2X-S really superb,i can't say it is 100% blockage of noise,but 80 to 90.very good.i tested it on bus,i paused my music,and i listened,the engine noise was minimal.
it's like you are hearing a vacuum cleaner operates on ground floor level when you are on the 6th storey. *by imagination*.
and when i took it off,damn jesus,it was all back to the normal days when i was using ibuds listening mp3. :)

i'm going to compare the sounds between ES2 & 2X-S,these two dual custom drivers are the kings of the throne besides UE10pro.lol

forgot to mention that i have my 24" LCD replaced by Dell the day before yesterday,the on/off button was spoilt.it went flat all the way,so i had to switch off the socket straightaway.;|
never thought that Dell will do an one to one exchange for me.very nice! <3

and today,frankie brought us to the lighting shop at balestier rd.
damage: $2087.

our old sofa & washing machine are given to my mum's old friend's daughter.so that makes our living room much spacious to put all the boxes as we are shifting very soon in 9 days time!!!!

Friday, March 16

discussed with vincent regarding my appealing to the new svc ctr XSC,from what he said,sinhub taking FTZ would be next year.
he told me no use to appeal one,have to lan lan stay here,and such comments,which turned me off.

no morale to work,but keying at normal speed.

went to the office just before break time,to find sebas.then i saw yow wee in the office,that was my luck!so i waited outside as he was busy talking.
waited for about 10 minutes or so.and in the end,i went in to the office and managed to ask him talk outside.

i have rectified my problem to him,saying that i am like being forced to stay,etc.he said reason why they have chosen me is because of my good record on attendance.he added that putting me to XSC is not a problem,but he would have to discuss it with sebas and let me know on mon/tues.
he also told me that even if sinhub is taking over FTZ,we won't merge with them,the most they get the part timers to replace us merging.that was really a relief to me hearing that from yow wee,seriously.

of course my mood gets better after letting it out infront of yow wee.yes you may ask again who is yow wee.he is our service manager,one up above supervisor.a very nice manager,nice to talk to.

received 2 pieces of mini chocolate from zul,as it was her last day.

OT again ,don't know what have happened to azean,my colleague who is fast in keying data.hence that explains the heavy workload.

su,my other colleague who sits next to me,is having conflict with me,some misunderstandings,but she initiated to talk to me by asking me whether can i cover her duties on sunday,i was rather surprised that she talked to me.
since i have no money to spend,and staying at home on sunday is very boring,i took up the offer.

received wilson's email which he said that he wants me to meet the Sensaphonics man in westin hotel,i mean,my problem lies on the eartips,but is there a need to meet him?

10 more days to new house.

Thursday, March 15

sebas have talked to me.he said that it is a must for vincent & i staying over as we are the only guys for data entry.actually he did quite convinced me to stay put as he said that there are things to learn and i'd become more useful if i have a chance to promote,etc.

then when i was keying data,i was thinking it's not quite right to be forced to stay,as i always looking forward to the new work place ever since a year ago.it is like,'saying goodbye to an aircon environment,no girls to bio',do you know how demoralising it is?so that was why i never had the mood to work,i keyed very slow purposely,as there wasn't any morale in me.

then came to think again,sebas also has his point,so i convinced myself to stay put.

till on the way back home on cab,my colleague,fauzie,was talking about the new service center,so i made a comment that how good it would be if he knows how to key in the data,so that we can just switch over as he wanted to stay too.

i have told fauzie my situation,he asked me to fight to the end,talk to yow wee,he also recalled that i was the one to make comments over improvement on the old work place ,that was why he was shocked to heard that my name being called out to stay put.

he also said that lesser shipment over the old place might be a good advantage,but the problem is maybe next time,if SINHUB (another group of management in DHL) takes over FTZ (whole area of changi cargo is free trade zone),then those who are staying put would be transfered to SINHUB (currently,i am under SINCO),that means i have nothing to do with SINCO already ,which i don't want to end up like that.

fauzie's words enlightened me,i want to work with my current colleagues,i don't want to be pushed around like a ball.i am a human,not an animal,even an animal has it's own rights.
i will talk to yow wee about it,if he still failed to do anything,i will approach HR,if still the same,i will quit without giving any notice.

at the end of the day,who will feel happy to work under somewhere which he/she doesn't like?

Wednesday, March 14

whew.due to the faulty problem of my v3i,i only get to see my SMS in the afternoon,and received 3 birthday greetings from nick,shan shan (my friend for 13 years!) & JN.
really touched man!they remember my birthday!

i shall organize a birthday party next year since it would be the 1st birthday party in my new house!

had a meeting today,and sebas officially announced that vincent & i would be staying over as 'multi tasking data entry'.
after the meeting,i went to the office and find sebas,told him that i want to shift to the new place with the guys.he asked me to see him in the office tomorrow during office hours. :\

actually if i stay here at ASC,there's no morale as;
1. there is no aircon,so for someone who sweats very easily like me,it's a no good.
2. i want to work with the rest of the guys in the new centre,so that i have the morale to target 'best inbound staff for 2007'.(have been trying not to get MC so far,though i was late a few times :|)
3. i want to know more female colleagues,to be more specific.it is common for single bachelors like me to have this kind of mindset.
4. i have been looking forward to new centre ever since a year ago.if you put yourself in my shoes,won't you feel demoralised if you are forced to stay?

let's see what sebas will say tomorrow.if he won't do anything about it,i will approach yow wee,my service centre manager.if not,i guess i will just go up further to make my appeal,or simply enough,i will just quit without giving any notice since no point to work at somewhere which demoralises me.

Tuesday, March 13

yesterday was my birthday.and was surprised that my part time colleague,zul remembers as i told her the other time out of some topic related to her last day in DHL on the 15th.

yeah,she was the first to wish me happy birthday (actually,mum was the first,but that was because i asked her to wish me LOL)
then my godsis,winwin called me and wish me happy birthday when i was keying air waybills.
oh man,i was very surprised that throughout these 6 years i have known her,she still remembers my birthday at heart!

of course i was very happy.as we rarely keep in contact,she was busy with her school work and recently,she graduated her account course from poly but,she just enrolled in an advanced account course,i thought her dad support her financially but she told me she is supporting herself by working & studying at the same time.

quite alright lah,by the time she graduated again,she would be 26,confirm she can get a good pay job,but to be an accountant is not an easy task,numbers are what they are looking at everyday,though their pay is high,it's boring & never-ever changing.but hey,that is still better than data entry in a way that i am facing the computer everyday,but pay is much lower than accountant's. lol

Sunday, March 11

went to the new house this morning with mum,met up with frankie.
he added some curvely design on the beam from the entrance of the main door & the passageway,which i find it nice,but mum does not like it,so she have asked frankie to remove it :\

have met my new neighbor for the first time.she just popped in and take a look.

because mum & i have decided not to fix window panels of the balcony as it would be such a waste to block the breezy wind coming in,frankie suggested us to put a layer of sticker or whatever he called it,on the whole of balcony except the ceiling.so in the long run,it would be an easier maintenance.
damage: $1350.that's really 'cheap'

1. they have knocked off the small wood thing of the wall.and they are going to touch up tomorrow.(mum dislikes wood as it attracts ants easily,and not easy to maintain)

2. floor ceiling have been made. (so that spot lights can be fixed in it.)

3. u-box have been added in my room.(purpose is to hide up the curtain hook thing)

4. aircon wiring & electrical wiring have been done.

the work of no.2 & 3 impressed me.

15 more days to shift in.

went to wilson's as i have to send back my 2X-S to japan again due to the tips.he is out stationed and no one was around at his shop,so i sitted outside on the floor waiting.wilson then gave me the contact no. of Gabriel,i think that's his apprentice or something,never asked.quite a ganchiong spider fellow.lol

wrote my problems of the 2X-S on a piece of paper and kept it in the box.so i expect to receive it a month later from now.

Saturday, March 10

went to Wilson's yesterday,to collect my 2X-S.
it looks good,but the insertion part hurt my ears.the tips on both sides are rather long.
guess i have to send it back to japan again,sigh,have to wait till april for getting it back.
if not,it's not going to do my ears good in the long run.

scroll down till you see a blue pair of earphones.
but mine is white and the cable is silver.

before rebate: 1.2k
after rebate: 1.1k.

DO YOU BELIEVE?

seriously,my ES2 is more comfy and the impedence is lower than 2X-S.but from the reviews i have read,ES2 cum 2X-S owners said that the latter sounds just better than the former.
i really have difficulty wearing 2X-S.i'd need 10 seconds or more to secure it in my ears.
but for ES2,i can do it 10x faster. lol

now come to mobile phone.

that nokia n95 is launching on the 17th at a retail price of SGD1248,should be without contract.
i'm keen on getting one as i am attracted to it's design,and functions.
guess in the end,i've got to borrow some cash from my mum after she got the money from this old house :X.

Friday, March 9

had an appointment with alvin,the curtain dealer & frankie,our contractor for the upcoming new house.
and the damage for the curtain is $2.5k,that exceeded our budget.but mum loves the design & colors.me too,yah. lol
total damage for the renovation & curtain = roughly $30k. and i agree that's expensive when normally people spend about 10+k on renovation.

and now back to work,

zainah was speaking loud on bus purposely,asking me not to cover sunday duty if approach by vincent.because kiki (my colleague) is supposed to work on this sunday and she gave zainah a month's notice in applying leave on this coming sunday.

and so zainah assumed that kiki will find someone to cover for her duties this sunday,but she never.that was why it pissed zainah off when angkle approached her and asked her to find replacement for kiki.of course zainah wasn't happy about it.if i were her,i would felt the same too.

why did zainah purposely spoke up loudly on bus?because kiki's bf was onboard too,though kiki wasn't around.and both of them ended up quarreling on the bus when zainah have said something in discrimination of the people from China (both kiki & her bf are from China).

if you ask me,i'd said i'm on neutral,not siding with whoever.it takes two hands to clap.of course kiki was at fault in the first place,but zainah also has her wrong as she should not have said something bad in regards of the people from China.

that's the reason why zainah chooses to stay in ASC as she finds it uncomfortable working with angkle as he is known to practice favouritism (in regards of kiki).

that's internal politics.

26th is drawing closer.countdown 17 more days.

have you ever heard Carole King sang 'i feel the earth move,under my feet'? it's an oldie.

yeah,that applied to me when i was using the pc this morning,then suddenly i felt my chair was shaking,i thought i was the one to make it shake,then again,no.
just nice that nick SMS me and asked me did i felt a tremor of the ground.
he said that there must be an earthquake in indonesia again.sigh.innocent lives.

it was my first time to have such an experience,
ground shaking under my feet,that is.

had a meeting today,angkle said that 2 full timer data entry will stay over at ASC (airport svc ctr) and the rest will move to the new svc ctr near expo.

then was told by zainah that she heard rumour saying the two would be me & vincent,i was like OMFG.i told her that i will sure make an appeal to sebas (other supervisor) if that rumour comes true.zainah said that she is willing to stay over at ASC,so i can like switch over with her lol.

Friday, March 2

my colleague,ross ,officially became a full timer today,she was back from maternity leave,and was a part timer before that.

read from today's newpaper that PS3 is coming next wednesday to Singapore,and going to price at SGD799.but it would be limited to 200 sets only.the place to get would be at sim lim square.no,it is not modified.

just started to play 'tales of eternia' on PSP.it's an interesting RPG game.guess i shall concentrate on it rather than final fantasy 7.

Thursday, March 1

finally i have registered #punggol of galaxynet.actually it was registered last time,maybe due to it's inactiveness,it was abandoned.

thanks to the 6 supporters who have lent me their rnicks.

and i miss my 12 years old biao mei.who knows in 10 years time,we might be together despite the big age gap?haha this may sounds silly.imagine when i am 40,she is 25.
