The King of Pop


It's more than words to describe. It was so shockingly sad...

It's just yesterday when my colleague asked me to chose a playlist on the internet radio so that we can listen to music while working hard, I chose Michael Jackson. And the same time today, I've got the news that he had passed away. On the same computer, and at the same time...

It's pointless to tell anybody how good he was. There will be no other singers can beat his music career, how he shone through so many era.

Rest In Peace.

One of my favourite MJ live performance.

Wei Wei in The States


This is me at Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco!

I am currently in my hotel at Boise, Idaho for work. I'll be here for 5 days for cross training. My hotel is located just opposite to my office. However, we still take cars to work because walking is a bit far. The campus is very big.

I'll blog more when I'm back to Singapore. Right now, my bio clock is nor here nor Singapore time. I am pretty much awake on working hours, but after dinner I feel tired. And I only go to toilet at night! Hm...


Till then~

What a Road Name



FYI, this is where the Australia Embassy located in Singapore, next to US Embassy at Napier Road.

Solutions~



When you have lots of earrings, necklace and bracelets but not enough space in drawers to keep them, this is what I did! :P

Now I wear earrings more often than I did because it's too convenient. Hahahah~




This is what I do when the weather is too hot, and there's no air-condition in the room. I place a piece of wet cloth in front of my fan. But it barely cools me for 5 minutes...

拔刀相助

昨天,我工作时间匆匆忙忙MSN Pei Yun,她正忙着,未能回答我。我不能够等了,再SMS政帮和Ah Lap,到处向人求救。原因只有一个,我的实验室没有盐!

我因为这趟美国之旅,有些准备功夫必须先做,才能够带点东西过去跟人家讨论。所以,那0.2克的盐,对我来说是何等的重要!

结果,我昨天下班前,到Ah Lap的实验室,完成我的工作。有朋友拔刀相助,江湖救急,实在是太好了!

谢谢Lap, Pei Yun和政帮!

飞去美国

我这几天都在忙着整理,手头上的工作,还有行李。

干吗呢?我周六清早,就要从樟宜机场出发,到美国去公干。虽然只有短短一周,之前的准备功夫也是够麻烦,尤其是那页价值新币183.40的美国签证。不过,为了那十年的签证,值得啦,多麻烦也忍一忍。

我的工作在Boise,Idaho。要飞到这个地方可不容易,首先在东京转机,飞到三藩市,再从三藩市飞到这个地方。整整花了将近一天,才能够到目的地。当我看到行程在三藩市转机,我有点雀跃,马上联络在三藩市的慧妮。我因为公干,被“喷”到有得同慧妮见面,很高兴!

毓豪说我老是提起何慧妮见面的事,到底是不是去公干!我说当然是提慧妮啦,如果告诉你为了这趟公干我在工作上做什么准备,没准把你闷死!SEM, AFM, Zygo, Cr, SS, SiC, glass……

明天下班还可以同欣娣和慧芳吃晚餐,有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎~

打开一扇窗
你最想看见的是什么?


我最想拥有一片可以看日出的海洋


可是
这样,也很不错了


人生如此短暂
做人何必计较~

购书狂



我是不折不扣的购书狂。

搬家前,我买了张大春的《我的妹妹》和张曼娟的《人生好时节》。买书的隔天,我把它们看完了。上周,我又买了Plato的The Symposium。哇嘞!~还在非常努力的看~很深奥哦!而且,很奇怪的。

今天,我又非常忍不住,买了张大春的书。原本只想买两本,可是买二送一,我就很Kiasu酱,买了三本!

我的钱,都败给了书~

Michael Johns is Back



Remember Michael Johns? The American Idol contestant from similar season with David Cook. He's good but not as good as David Cook. I always thought he deserved to go as far as at least Top 4, but he didn't make it.

But now, he got his own album. >.<

2

As I wrote down the date, I realized, tomorrow will be the day to mark my 2 full years working since graduation. Time really flies...

I consider myself lucky, to be able to graduate at a year when the world economy was good. I found a job relative easy, in fact I found two and I chose the current one. Don't even bother to ask me whether I've been regretting. Because I don't. Why regret when you do not know how exactly the one that you reject is like? Why regret when you don't have another company to compare with? Why regret when you're working with a group of nice and friendly people?

How was my 2nd year? Well, I thought it was relatively less exciting and interesting compared to the first one. Considered myself lucky, I had involved in some interesting projects on my first year. Works of the team had been appreciated, I felt good.

2nd year wasn't so great because of the current economy situation. Some projects are cut, lesser production, man power cutting, salary cutting... Jobs on hands never got lesser, but just less interesting and exciting. Nothing much too new.

Morale was low, in fact still low. News about company cutting people is confirmed to be news, not rumours. And what's worse? News went to the press before the employees. What more can I say...

The low morale and bad economy aside. I have to scold myself for not being proactive enough at times. Yes, morale is low. Isn't it a time to show my capability of being able to work well at this situation?

I also have to scold myself, why follow the crowd? Why do I sometimes feel the difficulties to voice my opinion which is clearly so different from the others? Why?

I'm not consider a new person anymore. A 2 year working experience is what people looking for when they put up recruitments. What can I take from my current job if I apply for a new one? What can I tell people about me and my job?

The more I think, the more I found it's pretty hard to answer all the questions.

What have I done??

Belittle myself will not help to solve the problem. I shall start my exercise routine again tomorrow, organize my thoughts and my life again.

Happy 2 years working to me!

搬家了

从知道自己得搬离裕朗西那里,到处找房子,到真的住进了新房子,不知不觉都已经是一个月左右了。新房子虽小,可是与我和毓豪同住的,是小狼,我们熟悉的朋友,多多少少也比以前亲切。当然,坏处是我自闭的时间就比较少了。(我偶尔很自闭一下,不理不睬人就可以过一天)

房子小小间只有两个房间,没有store room,东西要找地方摆也很难。地上是像我小时候住南美园的洋灰地,灰灰的。可是因为屋主以前铺草席,地上不是像以前一样,滑滑的。妈妈说,她有罐神奇水,抹了地上一个星期就滑。我下一趟回家就带回来试试看。现在,暂且忍耐一下。有空就抹一抹咯~

房间和客厅,我们大体上都弄好了,只剩下厨房还有点乱,暂且不能煮饭,只能够吃早餐。也很好了啦~姐姐要我拍照示人,等我们的厨房弄好了再说吧~

房间窗口一打开,是马来西亚的土地——铁路!我每天都听者火车,轰隆轰隆地开过,可是,还没拿捏究竟是几点钟。可怎么还是比地铁好,至少不是每5分钟一辆。

住在这个地方,晚上十一点钟就觉得很迟,早上八点多钟睡到自然醒(周末啦),好像很健康酱。早上起床有鸟叫声,晚上睡觉有虫鸣声。仿佛我又住在马来西亚,其实,感觉是不错的。屋子是旧了点,下午是热了点。

最近很忙,忙着工作,忙着搬家,忙着在脑里策划我的将来,忙着……

这样忙忙忙的,半年就过去了,我今年究竟做了什么?

2009年6月2日星期二

她平时不是个特别馋嘴的女生,虽然偶尔同爸爸四处寻找美食,没有一处美食逃得过她的嘴巴。但她绝不会肚子没饿也吃一顿。就因为这样,身材还是保持美好线条。所以,朋友都管她叫美食美女。

可最近不知怎么了,她的食欲渐渐增加,体重也渐渐上升。虽然自己想控制控制,但是,老是控制不住,想吃就吃。好朋友都问她,“你觉得有没有可能是怀孕了?”她只是一笑置之。

今天下班,经过一摊卖咖哩卜的小贩,特别的香。虽然已接近晚餐时间,她还是买了。原想回家才吃,可拿在手里的咖哩卜香浓扑鼻。那阵阵的香味,激发了她的食欲。她的脑海,禁不住地看见了煮得熟透的香嫩滑鸡,熟烂的土豆,还有香喷喷的鸡蛋。当然,就是咬下一口,流出来的咖哩汁,实在让人垂涎。

这个时候,她明白垂涎三尺,不是假的。她的口水要不是她意思控制着,早就流了出来。

忍不住了,还是吃吧!

她走着的,是往常下班回家走的路线。平时,她是不守交通规矩的女生。老是觉得,没车就走,干嘛要傻傻地站在路旁等那小绿人呢?太傻了!

边走边吃,她觉得那是人生最美好的事情。正当她准备咬下第二口咖哩卜的时候,一辆卡车响起了极大的车笛声。她的脑袋,在那千分之一秒,正在犹豫该启动脸部的肌肉,咬下第二口咖哩卜,还是启动腿部的肌肉,拔腿逃走。

可等到讯号发到腿部的时候,已经太迟了。

路边的人,又打电话叫就上车的、有赶紧看卡车的车牌号的、有纯粹凑热闹的、有在一旁讲诉的……

“她为了吃那咖哩卜,被车撞了!”

一传十,十传百。很快的,整个小镇都想知道是哪一摊的咖哩不那么厉害。咖哩卜的小贩,在她的葬礼,捐献了5000元。可她父亲把那小贩赶走了。

小贩走后,爸爸跪在大门前泪流满面,仰天……我连孙子都没了……他痛恨镇里的人,全都胡乱在传话的人。谣言!

~~~~~

那天以后,咖哩卜的生意门庭若市,他还在档口写了几个字。

死了也要吃咖哩卜!
