World Saddest Dog

Look at this poor little fella. He looks so sad being chained to a lamp post, like a kid made to stand at one corner for doing something wrong.

A Rage Filled Day

Have you ever felt like nothing works for you, as if the whole world is against you and everything you do is not right, so much so that you are filled with an unquenchable rage?

I had one today. It all started with the lost of all my trading profits the previous night. All the hard work for the past few months gone. I thought I have trained to control my emotions on this, but I guess the loss is too much for me to take.

With the rage still burning inside, I went to work and things got worse. I don't know if it is the fire that blinded me, but I feel that everything incident is going against my way. This is not help by all the lousy management planning and constant reminders from the managers to update all the meaningless issue status.

My rage reach a boiling point that I really wanted to throw in my resignation letter, follow by bashing my boss head in. But I didn't thanks to a phone call from Angie. So now, I sitting here, simmering down, writing this entry.

Quote For The Day

Heard from a colleague during a farewell lunch today.

Our company is shit, but if you are to leave the company, just make sure is not from one shit to another shit. At least you are used to the smell here.

Interview Woes

I just came back from a job interview. It's been almost 3 years since my last job interview (the last one is for the job I am working in). When I got the call that I am going to have an interview this morning, I felt uneasy for the entire weekend. This has not been help when I was informed that it will be a panel interview with software test. *Grasp*

I have never been comfortable with interviews but the thought of sticking at what I am now forces me to go for it. I have difficulty sleeping the previous night, thinking what the interviewer might ask and having phobia of not able to answer the test questions. Worse still is Manchester United after playing so well, lost to a goal that never should be given in the first place. -_-" In the end, after much tossing around, I managed to catch some sleep and woke up earlier than usual this morning though my interview is at 11am.

As for the interview itself, turns out to be quite relaxing. The test is more like an analysis of my code reading ability. Luckily it's not those theory or software trick questions. *Phew* The interviewers are quite impressed and keen to bring me on board. Only issue is they need me within these 2 months. The earliest I can tender is early January. Any day earlier, I will have to forfeit my AWS, something I am not willing to let go given all the hard work I put into the past year. In addition, with the babies coming, the extra cash will come in handy. Anyway, we will see how things go.

Tiger Cubs

Watch out! Tiger cubs coming next year! Yep, cubs, plural ^_^

Urn Storage and Retrieval

Perfect example of applying of technology for one area to another totally unrelated one. Burial land is so scarce and expensive in Japan that urns for your love ones are stored in a storage and retrieval system normally used for libraries and archive purpose.

I came about this in the news. According to the news report, at least now relatives who have to search through the columbarium looking for the reating place of their love ones.

Twitter 101 Uses: Find Your Lost Dog.

This is one amazing story that ends with a happy ending.

Sheylara's friend, Nanny Wen, lost her dog a few days ago. She managed to find the dog back through a combination of Twitter, Facebook and Plurk. I once thought that such social media are a waste of time. At least, now I know there is some use for it.

We Forgot His Birthday :(

Angie told me during dinner that she dream of Mickey last night. She saw ah boy brought another dog back with him and asking for food from her. Then suddenly I realize it's his birthday yesterday!

Oh dear! We were so caught up with our work and hectic lives that we totally forgotten his birthday. The little dog brought a friend back to celebrate his birthday with him and share his birthday cake. To his surprise, there's nothing for him. Aww... he must be very disappointed. :'(

We feel so sad. He has left us for a year only and we have started to forget about him. To think that we still celebrate his birthday last year, buying him a cake not long after he left. We all felt so sorry about what we done. Berna says she will buy him a cake tomorrow to make up for him but that doesn't spare from the guilt.

The photo above is Mickey peeking around the kitchen doorway when someone is in the kitchen, making sure you are not eating a snack without him.
