工作&其他

或许人的一生当中，
大部分的时间都在做功，
因而导致我们丧失了很多机会。
休息的机会;
睡觉的机会；
约会的机会；
呼吸的机会。

工作，是人生的一个阶段。
是一个漫长的阶段。
是一个独立的阶段。
是一个无奈的阶段。
是一个比较权力和金钱的阶段。
也是一个必经的阶段。

是好是坏，因人而异。

言下之意，
工作占据了太多时间。

I was just reading some blogs and I realise that I havent really been updating my blog with my feelings...
This could be a good sign, coz I am not being emotional and not being emotional, means I havent been thinking about unhappy events.
It could also be a bad sign, coz I have no time to be emotional and it also means that I am not thinking.

Everyday I check my work mail when I turn on the computer, more often than I open up my blog to see if there are any tags.
So sad right...haiz..But what to do?
This is life.

Anyway, I reckon i should stop talking about work and make my blog so dull and boring.
I should regain the ranting spirit that I used to portray in my blog.
And like Missy says, I only blog when I am angry.
So the latest culprit that pissed me off.

XX Optical Shop @ Pple's Park Centre
I was looking for a place which can make cheap specs as i just want to get a pair of new specs that is more comfortable when I wear it for long hours, not that my current one is blurred or what.
Because of the fact that there will always be alot of pple when I pass by XX everytime, I kinda assumed that they can do it cheap and good.
Some Singaporean mentality here - Alot of pple/long queue = good or cheap.

And so I went in, and the price was reasonable, so I sat down, trying to look at the designs of the frames, and there the sales girl was bringing up tons and tons of frames for me to see. And she keeps bringing me the ones that look like my current one, assuming that I like this design so much that i would love for my next 10 pairs of specs to look the same. Eh, if I want to look the same, why should I look for another frame? Isnt it better to use back the same one? Save you the trouble of finding another for me.
Anyway,I was looking for something light, her colleague overheard and gave me this super-light frame. And then both she and the other girl(the one who was serving me) giggled. I took that frame and WOW. Damn light! I flipped it around and saw the tag. RAY BAN. Was that why they were giggling? Give them the benefit of doubt, whatever.

So I returned her and said, It's Rayban, I know it cant be cheap.
The she continued taking out like 20 more frames which look similar to the one I wearing. BTH. Already told her I will try to see for myself.
Anw, after like 45mins I decided on a frame, which looks similar(abit smaller), coz dont have other colours and it's damn comfortable. Haha...
I went for the eye TESTS.
First, there was this usual one. The one where you need to look into the hole look at the house at the far end.
The next 2 are very new technologies and quite lame. Maybe it's me who's suaku, but I'd rather they use the traditional method of testing.

The 2nd test was to look into the hole, and focus on dunno what, then there will be this gush of wind blowing right into your eyeballs. Damn irritating.
3rd test was to stare at a cross in the hole and then suddenly there will be this ray of bright light flashing right into your eye. Again, irritating.

Then, you go into the room for the eye test with the optician.
By right, all the lenses should be in the room when you do the test, but XX happily placed some of their lenses outside the test room, so when they are needed, the optician had to spend like 3 mins going out to look for it. Then he test test test, he concluded, "Your right eye hor, cannot sharpen the vision leh. Has it been like that since young?" Well, that's the first time I am hearing this, how do I know?

And when I came out of the room, everyone was happily packing up and getting ready to go. All staring at me, waiting for me to make my payment and go. That was about 910pm. I havent even decided on the shape of the lens, the type of lens. Whatever, so I told the boss how I wanted the shape to be and let them wait lor. By this time, they were already standing outside the shop with half of the gates closed, yes right, still staring at me.

I think I left about 920pm. My mum was explaining their poor attitude to me and she said that I was their last customer and they cant go home since I was still there. So I looked at the time, it was 928pm and i had already reached the car which is some distance from the shop. It meant they had started closing even before the closing time which is 930pm. So I wasnt in the wrong. What's with all the staring then?

Boo...Guess this has taught me to stick with the optician that I always go to.
Still, the ginger is the old the spicy.

Recently...

I have been busy planning vessels and I have to say, it kills my brain cells sometimes. And things always happen when you are about to knock off!
On National Day this year, I was at work on standby shift. Working hours are supposed to be 0730 to 1730 and at 1600, I assumed I was able to leave the office right on time. And there, at 2030, I left office.
Arghh!

Anw, guess this is the real working life...
So just have to bear with it...hehehe

And I am also hooked onto this series, Gossip Girl.
Thanks to mioTV,if some of you know that I have switched ISP. Using the mioPlan now...
I am watching it day and night!
Anticipating the 2nd season!
Hehe, pple who appreciate these shows, go watch it if you havent. It's good!

4 new OEs

4 new OEs were bored in the office today.
So they decided to venture out to the wharf at about 630pm.
They saw a twistlock in the middle of the road and decided to do something about it.
They stopped by the roadside and one OE ran towards it.
Another OE followed behind.
That's when a PM ran past the twistlock and the lock flew right off the middle of the road, showing us how pple can be killed by a flying twistlock.
The OEs picked the twistlock up and brought it back to the jeep and back to the office.

They then ventured to 郭大侠's area to have a look...
And that's when they saw...

Majulah Singapura!

And the sunset from my workplace.

Work's going on fine...but probably coz I havent got the full force yet.
Still in honey moon period...so enjoy while I can...hahaha,,
With the other OEs of course...
Hope we dont lose the bet to the others!
