Get Smart :)

Filed under: daily life, movie — Mel @ 3:17 pm
Yesterday i met my ex housemate, Fani.
She will go back for good to Indo this Sunday.
Our initial plan was to watch movie. But after i browsed through GV and Cathay, i couldn’t find any good movie in a good showing time.
Either too early so that we wouldn’t have enough time for dinner first, or too late. So after short discusion, i decided to only have dinner together that day, so that we could have enough time to chat. :) Since i’m not going to see her for quite some time.

So the plan was to meet her @ 7pm.
But well, as usual she’s always late :p.
We went dinner @ Ajisen Ramen.. Yes.. i already ate ramen few days ago when meeting the bloggers. But i just feel wanna eat again :p
After dinner, we still got time, then we went up to check what movie available. End up we chose to watch Get Smart. (James Bond versi dodol).
Actually i wanted to watch Narnia: Prince Caspian. But too bad it started only at 9.20 with durationn 145 minutes. I would have difficulty to go back home after that. No more MRT and no Night Rider (NR only have on weekend).
Since Get Smart started @ 8.50 and not a long duration movie then ok.


First i guessed this movie was a silly james bond movie type.
But the story is a bit different. It’s still about secret agent.
About a wanna-be agent that is always left behind in the rack. The chief never send him on a mission. Until one day he got choosen.
How he’s going to accomplished the mission in his way is quite attractive. This movie is quite funny, light and enjoyable.

Rating: 3 outa 5 popcorn >:)

Next movie i wanna catch:
* Wanted
* HULK
* Batman The Dark Knight
* The Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor
* The Prom Night
* Meet Dave
* Narnia : Prince Caspian
* Hancock
* Redcliff

so many.. well but i think some of the movies are almost not playing anymore.
Just try to catch whatever movie i can :)

TGIF!

ps: i bought new creative webcam. :D

Meet The Bloggers

Filed under: gathering — Mel @ 11:40 am

Few days ago i had gathering with Indo-Sing bloggers.
Yaa not all Indo-Sing bloggers la,…
A friend from Indo that i knew through blogging transited in Singapore for awhile, and called us to meet her.
We met @ Lucky Plaza there to eat Ayam Penyet. But for all of us are sick with it already. Some more the person come from Indo ma, oledi got a lot of Ayam Penyet.

I think I go there everyweek to eat… oso sick of it. but i can’t find another ayam penyet nicer than them. :p
Talking about ayam penyet, my stomach growls already. :S

Then we met there but in the end we choose other place to eat.
End up with Ajisen ramen @ Takashimaya.
Actually i didn’t feel like eating ramen there, coz i got eat before Ajisen Ramen at Indonesia but not nice one. I prefer the bento,… but here got not much choice for bento.
But i was wrong. The ramen was nice and a lot and very spicy. I love it! Haha… Too bad i cannot finish it coz too spicy and they ate too fast. I must eat slowly one… :)

Who attended the gathering…
Fun2, Angel, Bebek, Arief, and Fun2’s highschool friend…
That night was the first time i met all of them.
I already drop by @ Fun2 and Angel’s blog before. :)

bebek-fun-angel-me and arief
me and fun
angel – bebek

They all are quite chatty.
I’m the most quiet one. Well i’m not chatty when in a big group.
I’ll become more chatty when only few ppl (usually 2) coz no choice what must tok with him/her. :p

Fun – she’s quite talkative, as the impression i get from reading her blog :) i know her when i blogwalked to her blog and joined her quiz. Accidentally I won. :) She still owes me flannel >:)

Angel – the EO of the gathering :) Ibu sekre is her nickname coz she works as secretary. ^___^

Bebek – alias ibu katering kata anak2… The first time i met her i feel like her face was quite familiar to me.. i feel like i have met her before somewhere, but i can’t recall. Is it deja’vu?
Never been to her blog though…

Arief – another blogger that i just met that night too… he’s the one who brought camera and took a lot of pic.. i just took a few.. – the cameraman :)

Took some of photos… but mostly with arief. coz my camera battery almost died that night and i forgot to bring a spare battery.

It’s a good thing to know new friends through blogging. :)

Not enough with Ajisen Ramen, we went to NYDC @ The heeren to eat dessert! :)

Ordered Ice Cream and then shared the ice cream til very full one…
Feel very full, tired and sleepy. Then about 10 we decided to go back home. I wished that day was Friday.

a little hope

Filed under: worklife — Mel @ 11:28 pm

It’s Wednesday!
So fast.. :p
Although when i’m in office i don’t feel that fast.
but maybe after work i got few activities…

Well i haven’t blogged about my recent days activities.
I met indo sing bloggers yesterday… gonna write about it later… coz i lazy to edit the pic and upload it…

Today i feel alot better in office, since now i start support customers but not fully doing support.
Still do documentation and a bit here and there can occupy me enough… so that i don’t feel left out or useless.. :) at least i still can do something and learn more new things.

Thanks for those who had supported me in prayer and words :)
Thanks guys! ^___^ I still need your prayer though. :)
My project manager has been nice to me and he’s very patient to teach me. Coz sometime i cannot catch that fast whatever he said la. Then i’ll load very slow and become blur… just like my laptop.
I think i need to restart myself after few hours. :p

I hope i can write more interesting story other than my daily work :p
For the next agenda i’ll write about indosing bloggers gathering :p

I still have hope in this new workplace. :)

Let it go and carry on my life

Filed under: worklife — Mel @ 2:56 pm

I can tell people not to look back to their past but the truth i still struggle not to look back on my past.
The proof is i’m still comparing my current co with my prev co without fail.
Everytime I keep thinking that my prev co is still better.

What they are better about:
* the people as i got a lot nice friends there. some are not nice la but still bearable.
* the boss, he’s been nice to me. Well maybe due to the same language we talk/ same hometown.

My current co:
* the people here are very quiet. In fact I don’t know them very well and have limited chance to know them better.
* the boss sayang other division more than mine since they have more customers and help company earn more money lor.

The one that my current co give me better offer than my previous co.
I think this shall make me stop comparing. :S sigh.
I must remember that I jump here because of the pay, not the people, not the jobscope. As long as i can get the pay that i want, i must bear with anything. :S
Nxt time i pray for another new job i shall include the people and the jobscope as well.

God help me!
I think i cannot survive here. but it’s You who placed me here. So i believe that You see i can go through all these. Help me :S

I shall look forward. That i can pass this obstacle.
That i can pass my probation and can do my work well.I can tell people not to look back to their past but the truth i still struggle not to look back on my past.

hopeless

Filed under: worklife — Mel @ 9:01 pm

Help!

I think i feel hopeless in my new job.
I’m so used to my previous environment and working culture there. Sigh!
Can i survive?
I just work for the sake of money. :p
Well see whether i can survive these 3 months. Another 2 months to go.
I feel like dragging myself to work. I don’t really care with the people there. I think the working environment is not that good.
I just do what i supposed to do. They asked me to do what then i do. They never ask me do, then i don’t do. I just drag myself…
I hope i can finish my duty for these 2 years. My commitment for these 2 years then I can do whatever I like. I can go whatever I want.

Sigh!

TGIFA :)

Filed under: worklife — Mel @ 4:15 pm

Sigh!

My current work i have more learning tools such as SQL Profiler.
But i find that my previous application i learnt by doing much easier.
Why?
Because my current customers all already used the system for years and i just started using it for less than one month.

My previous application, i used the system longer than the user since i help them to customize and to implement. I knew the back end very well and know which form mapped to which table in database.
So when they got problem, i knew which table i should check.

Why i find it difficult to learn and master the current application more than the user did? i even have help such as SQL profiler that will tell me the mapping behind when on the past i didn’t have. Sigh!

Everyday can pop up different problems that mostly i don’t have any idea why that can happen and how to solve it.
I don’t know where to start and i don’t have such confident to ask the user.

The previous one, i had confident because i did the implementation and monitoring for them. And i’m independent which is when they sent emails to me, they don’t need to CC to my boss/superior. Then when i reply is direct to the user. And i don’t need to be afraid to ask such silly question/ very basic questions to them to help me understand about the process/concept.

Now i need to CC emails to my boss and superior. Afraid i asked such a silly question to the user.
So mostly is I ask my superior first before replying emails.
I know that he has the answer, but i feel more comfortable to ask the user. But the user is not the end user, they are the IT department of each company. Somehow they also not really sure about what happen.
I hope that I can be independent and solve the problem my self without bothering my superior or anyone else.

Anyway, TGIFA!!!
So Happy! :)

Daily Entry

Filed under: worklife — Mel @ 4:44 pm

I’m counting hours to go back.Few more hrs, i wonder how come everyday i will counting hours one? I wanna job that occupy a lot of my time.So when i start working i’ll feel that so fast already go home time. :D .

Well i think i shall do programming again? Sigh!For now not much thing to do. No customer call also.I wish got customer call and give me problem to troubleshoot but of course give me problem that i understand one and still within my knowledge to solve.

Today after work i’ll go to my ex-colleague’s farewell.He is also leaving the company. He’s from same department with me before. But it’s good he’s leaving coz he got a much better job out there with a lot higher salary. I envy… :p

Well everyone has their own luck. Me too…So far i only go to 1 interview then can get the job. But for me always quite difficult to get interview. But once get interview i know that i will get the job. It’s just difficult to get many interviews.First time, i waited for quite long (not that long actually) 1 wk then could get interview. But 1 wk for me already considered very long waiting. Then this second job i also waited for quite long. Everyday i got apply and send a lot resumes. But for few months nobody called me for interview.Then finally i got interview in this company. I started applying job since february after CNY. then i got the new job at end of april.Fewh… Everything went smooth for me. So i shall not complaint or envy anyone else. :) I’m blessed though… Thank God.

Talking about difficult to get job, last time i put 1 month notice and seldom get interview. They want an immediate available staff.Now i need to give 2 months notice period for this current company, and i dare not wonder how many interviews i’ll get later if i tender. Sigh. Maybe i shall tender first then apply for job.
But it’s a good thing to apply for another job before you tender. This will increase your price. To give perception to the new company that your previous company still want to employ you, and push them to “bid” higher. :) Means you are good since they want to make you stay.

Since it’s not easy to get a job, a job that can give what i want, i’ll cherish this job and try my best to perform well.another 2 months to pass before i ‘graduate’ from my probation. :)

Sleepy

Filed under: worklife — Mel @ 2:00 pm

Everytime around 2-4pm i’ll always feel sleepy. Of course if i have nothing to do.
An luckily i do have nothing to do, since i’m new and not much thing for me to do, and not much thing happening for me to investigate.
So here i am, blogwalking and end up blogging. :P

i wanna update few things about my work:
* the boss doesn’t like if we talk in office.
this explain why my office so quiet one and nobody talking. only msn.
* the boss doesn’t like if the staff really full utilize the 1 hr lunch time…
hey, what’s wrong with that? it’s our rights.
* my current boss is very hardworking. Do OT almost everyday? I always knock off before him, which is good for me.

Yesterday i met my ex-colleagues to have dinner together.
We went to Toa Payoh. Lucky i got bring map with me, if not i really don’t know how to find the place except asking around for direction. :)
The dinner was quite nice and fun. They were quite surprised when i told them my new company is much smaller than PTC. The people of course PTC better la since i spend almost 2 years there. I miss the people so much. But tomorrow will meet up with them again. So excited.
Who i missed the most?
Well this question was asked yesterday… The expected answer haha i cannot bluff only to please ppl. :p Standard answer: I miss everyone.
Yesterday i listened a lot of story behind my prev company… Haa… a lot of jokes too..
I really enjoyed yesterday dinner. :) Thanks a lot guys…

Sigh i’m still sleepy.
Now only 2.16pm…
How i’m gonna pass these few hours??? Sigh!

no title

Filed under: personal thoughts — Mel @ 12:28 pm
Last time i used to look forward to come CG or church activity.I couldn’t wait to come to CG just to meet brothers and sisters in Christ. I’d be happy to come to CG even though my parents would object sometimes. I were willing to work harder/ study harder only to get permission from my parents.That time i were not allowed to join so many church activity. I only could choose either CG or sunday service. But during that time, i were not give up, and i kept enthusiastic to come CG ignoring my parents’ nagging.I just loved being around my brothers and sisters that time.I felt that I were a part of them and the CG was mine too. Not only belong to the leaders. And i were so excited to join any ministry.

But now, to come to CG i really need to drag myself. I need a lot of courage just to come to CG.Sometimes i try to find excuses for me not to come. I try to avoid it. Why… Because everytime i just feel not happy with my CG.It’s not the CG, it’s the people, it’s me.I don’t feel that my CG is my second family. I feel that everytime i finished CG i’m not happy. I just can’t see them as my family. They only share about blessings and blessings, sometimes when you have difficulties, they feel like don’t care and don’t want to listen. They also never share their difficulties just to let others not share theirs too. I feel that the relationship is very shallow and i see that it can’t be helped. No prospective.Well maybe only me that feel so. They all like to share happiness and blessings only. But life is not all about happiness and blessings.

I tried before to share about my burden, but they just couldn’t help at all, even listening to me they would have no patience. They are just never undergone it before. I feel like this is not my place. With or without me has nothing difference (although they keep saying that i mean a lot to them) but that was just a word. Word without meaning, word that’s easily spoken and never meant. I keep thinking of giving up this relationship. I’m not a people person though. I realize that the problem is me. So, i rather to withdraw myself then.

There are ppl that i don’t like too.I see their life in 2 different perspective and they are not consistent. In front of church they look holy, but outside they bully people. I just can’t stand people like this. Very calculative too. But they cannot be blamed too. i cannot change them or hoping they will change and i won’t try to change them. What i need to do just to avoid these people.

Why i still come to CG if i dont get anything, worse i feel not happy.It’s very tiring to answer all their basic questions when you are not coming. I never expect something when i come because i know that i will be disappointed.

I wish all days are weekend.

Filed under: movie, weekend — Mel @ 11:36 pm

I’m lazy to update my blog.
Well… nothing interesting happened these past few days.

I went to the PC show today to get a webcam. But i come back with no result.
First i wanted to get the cheapo one, $38, but I just could not find the shop. By the time i found the shop, It’s all sold.
Then I went to logitech booth. But the sales failed to convince me to buy.
I try the demo webcam, but the quality seemed not that good as i heard.
So i decided not to buy. Second it’s EX! I just know that webcam can be so EX.
I thought only $20… :(

Catched Kungfu Panda last saturday.
It was quite funny. The panda is quite cute though.
But i don’t really like comedian movie.
Well the ending is a bit weird… I wondered why the ending just like that…

Today catch The Happening.
In the first place we were confused whether want to watch the happening or hulk.
But then we decided to watch the happening, since my friend said might be good coz directed by spielberg… but .. i don’t see his name appear… so maybe not spielberg.
This is another weird movie. It’s a thriller movie.
I think they want to promote global warming. The movie is about back to nature, the nature calling, and nature punishment towards what human has done. I don’ t really like the movie.

I’m not a movie person :p
So i’ll give the happening 2 out of 5 popcorn.
If you got too much money need to spend then maybe u can catch tis movie.
I’ll give kungfu panda 3.5 out of 5 popcorn.
It’s much much better than the happening. :)
