Just when I thought I had a good rest back in reservist, I was welcomed back in office by the terrible assignment. Yes I did told Ms Wan to leave some parts of the task for me to complete out of courtesy but end up…we were stuck with lots of grey areas.
Work aside, since it’s nothing more than just tedious and overtime, I think I better leave all the whining out of this entry.
Anyway, there isn’t much to share in this entry except to up my blog entry keeping it to stay alive…
To all friends, the closetelves has launched their 4th series, please go support if interested and quote, I am the referral. I am not sure if they will give you a good price but at least it makes me looks better by honouring my promise to fionis in publicising for them in forums which I didn’t.
Haha...there isnt much update this week..but wait for my weekend post...i have a long list of planned activities coming! And its time to bring my camera out!
A little something to Sotong before I end my night, Stay strong, be happy, life goes on!

Byee.....Reservist here i come!!!
Never did i thought i would find going back incamp so enjoyable. To me, it felt more like a trip..
Anyway, cant blog much lately and there isnt much to blog about so leaving you guys some really hot and nice MTV.
Recommendation from Ow
Apart from wondergirls..This group seems to be equally popular and they look much more prettier than wondergirls.
One of the singer happened to be the lead actress in Cinderella Man. The lover of Kwon Sang Woo..

Hourly wage calculation
Okay, the past few days of tedious work has got me into serious thinking and like the crappy me, I always stare blank and daze whenever I get the slightest opportunity to.
And surprisingly I came up with this calculation of my hourly salary which makes me feel much better.
For example, I am earning 2k per month, only weekdays at work which will sum up to a 22days per month, each day spending 9 hours at work.
2000/22/9 = $10.10 per hour
In comparison to a Manager who might be fetching $4000 a month, working on every Saturday which sums up to a total of 26 days per month and spending at least 12 hours at work and standby another 2 hours after work which adds up to a total of 14hours a day.
4000/26/14 = $10.98 per hour
“BLINKS”
Basically, I am not very inferior in comparison of my salary. I have yet to include the amount of stress in obtaining such a pay out.
Well of course, if you were to look at reality, the amount of money is still a lot in comparison for the above 2. But its really a quantitative effort and the compensation for it.
If you notice, i am using "compensation" instead of reward on the above base salary. Well there is a reward in actual fact, the BONUS pay out! This is the where the difference came about in terms of stress!
The next time you think about selling your soul to your company, do a calculation first and maybe you will notice that pantry aunty is laughing at you since she is earning a higher hourly wage..
Meanwhile I am really happy to stay as what I am after my “these days” encounter!

Thinking back..
On a lively day, and you are occupied with activities but somehow your mind starts swaying back to the past memories..Do you experience these before? All of a sudden, memories start flashing through your mind.
I experienced it today and to be frank, It strike me quite hard. All the time, money and energy that I have wasted on irrelevant things makes me felt foolish. None the less, we should look forward and somehow after last week of hectic and stressful work, I fully understood the meaning of commitment vs freedom. For all that hard work I plan to put in, I hope I could at least reap some recognition.
I am giving this hope of mine a one last chance.
Oh yah, because of the H1N1 virus, I felt that I should try to avoid crowded areas so over the weekend, I bought a few books.
Yes, all are on Photography. Putting immediately some advice from the books, 2 similar shots using different method…
1st, the books with wrapper, taken without flash showing reflections
Since without flash, the books are already showing reflections from the room’s lighting, the thought of shooting with flash, will the pictures turned shiny from all the strong lightings?
Picture taken with flash.. I simply bounce the flash lighting off the ceiling at 180 degrees at a slower and less powerful mode.
Back to the topic, these books are going to accompany me through my reservist as well.

Dinner and Dance 2009
After my many many excuses of buying stuff over my dinner and dance, the day finally came.
The Final Dinner and Dance of CAAS 09, Stars of the Night!
Okay that’s me..the very “ai mei” me, posing again to check if the whole attire suits me and sinceno one is home and I do not have a full body mirror…
The journey wasn’t as nice as I thought it would be. It was so humid I had to take a cab since I am running late. Who would have thought the cab I board had a lousy air con system that doesn’t cool me down, furthermore, the whole cab smell of “Curry Rice”.
It wasn’t all that bad till my slow walk to Suntec where an aunty step on my new shoes. I think my natural scream scares her abit..haha
The arrivals of the “Stars” of the Night
Photo taking as usual..Me and my geeky look
Every year the people changes..this is this year..new faces.
Good to see old faces around
Our table is fortunately near the stage and unfortunately beside the speaker..
We waited for dinner to be served..
..and we wait and
wait
The only pic i have gotten with people from other division...everyone disappear before i manage to find them
The MA team final Picture for that night
Finance before our separation
And as usual...our last drink for the night! The drinker is taking pic while I sneak in for this picture
