I received my new PC at work last Wednesday, and it was only until today the vendor came in the set up my new PC. Finally opened up my new PC.

Setting up the PC took 2hrs. So basically i din work for the whole afternoon.

Today we had a dialogue session with the boss. At first i thot with my boss, only until Ivy said Mr Leong is here oso...

Quite a few things were raised, such as the incentive issues, he asked if it was too stringent or shld it be more stricter? And the drunk bus captain who had an accident recently. The issues on how shld we prevent this kind of things to happen, how long before work shld we abstain from alcohol...

Mr Leong said SIA they had a rule for pilot that 12 hours before work, they shldn't drive any alcoholic drinks. R we supposed to follow them? No one from the top had yet mentioned anything abt this rule. Anyway, they talked abt the whistle blowing, annoymous letters, OT issues, allowances.

He said allowances will implicate the benefits and BUDGET! HE said if we satisfy one, human beings wont jus stop there, will request for more things, then more implications... Now we are oredi taking money from bus side to subsidised for our operations, they would find it to be a burden and now if we request for more benefits, then prob they will not 'help' in subsidising us?!

From what he said, meaning the company wont give in to these kinds of request. I boldly asked him if we could haf a salary review and upgrading for every 2 yrs worked, and he answered me the company does not recognise the number of years worked for the company. He agreed that it was abit too little, but reali HR wont do anything to increase our market value, except only in the performance increment.

After the meeting, we came out, i tried to tell him that wat i m getting is below market rate and my frens had been job hopping, had been getting more better paid. He said things are like that, u haf to hop to get better paid. He said he oso feel the company is paying too little. He tried to the the big big boss that with the number of experience he had in this line, the pay shld be higher, but the company still give jus this little of amount. So no use. U got to hop to get better paid. Dunnoe how true in what he said abt his pay?!

Actuali haven finish complaining, then Ah Kheng came in to interrupt liao. Spoilsport! Finally i get the chance to 借题发挥 then he had to came in wif Nelson!! If not, maybe i could persuade him to give me a better pay!!!Cos he was oredi asking me what is the market paying for a fresh grad. and how many years i had been here oredi.... Wah lao!! wasted a good chance!

I was wondering if i like tat ask him, will i be marked anot?? Is he implying that i shld find a better paid job? I dunnoe....

我們都老得太快，卻聰明得太遲

把錢省下來，等待退休後再去享受 ， 結果退休後，
因為年紀大，身體差，行動不方便，哪裡也去不成。

錢存下來，等養老，結果孩子長大了，
要出國留學，要創業做生意，要花錢娶老婆，
自己的退休金都被拗走了。

當自己有足夠的能力善待自己時，就立刻去做。

老年人有時候是無法做中年人或是青少年人可以做的事，
年紀和健康就是一大因素。

小孩子從小就告訴他 :
養你到高中，大學以後就要自立更生， 要留學，創業，娶老婆，自己想辦法。

自己要留多一點錢，不要為了小孩子而活。
我們都老得太快 ， 卻聰明得太遲。

我的學長去年喪妻。
這突如其來的事故，實在叫人難以接受，但是死亡的到來 ， 不總是如此。

學長說， 他太太最希望他能送鮮花給他，但是他覺得太浪費，總推說等到下次再買。
結果卻是在她死後，用鮮花佈置她的靈堂。這不是太蠢愚了嗎 ?

等到...... 等到..... 似乎我們所有的生命，都用在等待。

「等到我大學畢業以後，我就會如何如何……」
我們對自己說 「等到我買房子以後!」
「等我最小的孩子結婚之後!」
「等我把這筆生意談成之後!」
「等到我死了以後 ……」

人人都很願意犧牲當下，去換取未知的等待。
犧牲今生今世的辛苦錢，去購買後世的安逸。
許多人認為必須等到某時或某事完成之後 ， 再採取行動。

"明天我就開始運動。"
" 明天我就會對他好一點。"
"下星期我們就找時間出去走走。"
" 退休後，我們就要好好享受一下。"

然而，生活總是一直變動，環境總是不可預知。
在現實生活中，各種突發狀況總是層出不窮。

一個醫生說 : 我所見過的死人，比一般人要來得多。
這些人早上醒來時，原本預期過的是另一個平凡無奇的日子，
沒想到一個意料之外的事 : 交通意外、 腦溢血、心臟病發作等等。
剎那間， 生命的巨輪傾覆離軌，突然闖進一片黑暗之中。
那麼我們要如何面對生命呢？我們毋需等到生活完美無瑕，毋需等到一切都平穩。
想做什麼，現在就可以開始做起。

一個人 永遠也無法預料未來，所以不要延緩想過的生活。
不要吝於表達心中的話， 因為生命只在一瞬間。

記住 ! 給活人送一朵鮮花，強過給死人送貴重的花圈。
每個人的生命都有盡頭。
許多人經常在生命即將結束時，才發現自己還有很多事沒有做，有許多話來不及說。

這實在是人生最大的遺憾。
別讓自己徒留 「為時已晚」 的空餘恨。
逝者不可追，來者猶未卜。

最珍貴、最需要即時掌握的「當下」，往往在這兩者蹉跎間，轉眼錯失。
人生短暫飄忽，包得有一首小詩這樣寫：
高天與原地，悠悠人生路；行行向何方，轉眼即長暮。
正是道盡了人生如寄，轉眼即逝的惶恐。

有許多事，在你還不懂得珍惜之前 已成舊事。
有許多人，在你還來不及用心之前 已成舊人。
遺憾的事一再發生，但過後再追悔「早知道如何如何 …。」是沒有用的。
「那時候」已經過去，你追念的人 也已走過了你。

一句瑞典格言說 :「 我們老得太快，卻聰明得太遲。」
不管你是否察覺，生命都一直在前進。
將希望寄予「等到方便的時間才享受」 ， 我們不知失去了多少可能的幸福。

不要再等待有一天你「可以鬆口氣」，或是「麻煩都過去了」。

生命中大部分的美好事物 都是短暫易逝 。
享受它們、品嚐它們，善待你周圍的每一個人。
把時間浪費在等待所有難題的「完滿結局」上。

勸大家一句話 : 把握當下，莫等待。

说的很有道理 ， 所以现在就开始对所有的朋友( 包括我 ) 好一点吧。哈哈 !

Enjoy life, live life to the fullest! :)

Came across this passage. Shall share it here...

丈夫

有时，他是你最大的孩子
脱下西装后，容许他换一张脸
容许他老是关不住牙膏盖子。。。
容许他老是要努力按示后，才记得妳的生日
其实，在坚强的外表下他的内心也需要妳小小的纵容和溺爱

妻子

换个角色做做看是否你要求她的
总是和要求妈妈的一样理所当然
偶尔，换你拿起奶瓶
偶尔，换你穿上围裙
柴米油盐之外
多给她一点关怀，体谅和甜言蜜语吧！

孩子

他的小手，将来是怎样的大手？
要求他成绩单上的数字
也教他欣赏大自然的法则
鼓励他必须坚强
也要他有一颗柔软的心
和他说话，不只用到嘴也用了耳：
在他长大之前，和他站的一样高看世界

父母

珍惜，在来得及的时候
孩子的哭声总比父母的叹息
得到更多的疼惜
你不会忘记孩子放学时间
却忽略父母盼你回家的亲切
物质弥补不了精神的寂寞
最重要的是
要一点时间给父母

手足

Stand By Me 站在我这边
以为爸爸对哥哥偏心一点
妈妈对妹妹疼爱一些
其实，手心手背都是肉
血浓于水的亲情
总在最需要的时候
他们就站在我身边

情人

爱有多少，付出也要多少
爱情不是单行道
他（她）的好更不是理所当然
生气时，想想他（她）的可爱
抱怨时，想想他（她）的委屈
冷战时，想想他（她）的温暖
两人都懂得付出，爱就会久远。。。
毕竟，真心相爱并不容易，不要轻易别离
［送心爱的人回家，哪里都顺路！］

In the end, i din go for the interview... Why? Becos i dun feel like leaving yet, dun feel like changing my job scope for the time being, dun feel like leaving our dear old colleagues yet...

I let him decide for me, cos i reali dunnoe wat i shld do... He said since its jus agency interview, so might as well dun go, cos u oso dunnoe if they will reali send u to the company anot. Maybe after interview, they will tell u r not suitable for the job and try to match u wif other lousy jobs and keepin calling and ask if u wan go for other interview anot lor.... He said wan go interview, apply direct to the company and not thru agencies. Ok, i listen to him. Since i oso feel its quite abit waste of time lor.

Incentives seems to be not bad for this quarter.. $900 for 2 quarters... 1 mth get $50, 3 mths get $500, 6 mths get $900 incentive. Not all other companies will give this good incentives. My frens said actuali i get $50 increment per yr is not bad, considering only $10+ or $20+ for some companies... So i shld be contended..

Maybe try to look for other jobs other days in ST Recruit...

After dinner, i went back, tinking abt the fun times i had in SBST.. The ppl here, the job i doin... I reali like wat i m doin now... I m reali getting more interested in the job i m doin now. Though i m reali extremely slow in learning, only learning after 7 yrs here, but ... i reali dunnoe how to say lor. Jus like wat i m doin, jus wan to get a higher paid job. If only, SBST could pay me higher... How how??
