i would like to thank my parents, for bringing me up, giving me the much needed love for the last 22 years.. i would like to thank my brothers, eventhough they're a pain in the ass but can be sweet sometimes, i would to thank my dear friends (you know who you are) for helping me thru rough times and i would like to thank the rest of the world for making the world an advanced, caring, (etc etc etc) yet disasterous and shity place to live in at the same time.

potc is LOVE indeed XDXD
so little time, so much to do...
i've barely finished 20% of the work load i have and i've only got tmr left to finish it all..... and to think i started out today at perhaps 10%? argh.. i'm so dead .______.
problems with work, problems with my boss, problems with my workmates, problems with my parents.. okay lar.. they're all really not major problems.. just minor stuffs where if you add them ALL up becomes big... it's hard to say even.. sometimes your day may start out fine, but end crappily.. or when you think things are fine, you realize too late they're not or even when things are in the dumps, in the end you're just mistaken and everything is fine again.
had a short 1-on-1 meeting with AH in friday. he asked if i was planning to leave as well.. since my only other 2 colleagues working on the project are leaving soon. one in december, the other in february. i told him i might because i was thinking of doing my masters.. then he told me to only do my masters in july. i mean excuse me.. it's not like i can tell the university i'm planning to go to wait for me a few more months if say that particular course i wanna do is only available in february -_-
and to add more work.. he has made me "team leader". more responsibility... like i don't have a lot of things to worry about.. and then he has the cheek to tell me he'll give me something, like an incentive... huh... BALLS! he's just 'bribing' me not to leave. i talked with my parents today about the situation... whatever it is.. i'm leaving by march and that's final. i've got other things i wanna take care off, do before i go off to study, etc etc etc...
earning money is one thing... but i wanna enjoy my work as well... not stay up night after night, putting in more than i should over this dumb project. and yet he can show us his anger and tell us, "we have never met a deadline. never!". well if you managed the project better, AH, we wouldn't be in this position.
in my part i have so much to do.. and if i don't finish my part, my colleague can't do hers and she's got a lot to do as well.... urgh... -_____-
damn.. i've only got another 3 hours of sleep before i have to wake up again >__<

and so it has finally come to the point where i'm in need to release some bloggage baggage.
first off, penang was great. a nice and different environment/atmosphere.. away from all the work and other related crap. drank a lot (but no enuf to get drunk) *sheepish look* and did some stuff with my relatives which i could say for the first time i enjoyed doing with them.
also i managed to get some items for my cosplay costume ^__^ the wonders of penang! hehe.. though i still have a few more things left on my list to get. esp temporary blonde hair dye!!! *pulls hair out* oh wait, i need it for CF/Cosmas @_@; *glues it back on*
anyone have any ideas or suggestions or know of a dye which i could use and immediately remove it the next day??? *___*
MSG FOR DMJ:
eh, if you're still in s'pore (when you read this msg), can you check for me if they got that kinda dye??? prettypleaseandiwillloveyouforeverandever XD
yesterday was chaotic at irc. totall madness... uber fun madness XDXD we did a lot of 'kicking' and yeah... good times. i'm so blah to wanna really explain so, if you want.. there's the log [ here ] for all to read. a conversation which started from the time i entered at 11.40pm until i went to bed (at 4.50am).
so what was i doing up til 5am this morning?
come, lemme relate a story to you on how a huge mess started which led to me staying up late again last night where 12 hours later i hear even more bad news and have now made that huge mess bigger which then lead me to what i'm doing yes, that be blogging.
my boss is an asshole! somebody shove "thor" into him will ya. i wanna see him suffer even more than he already has, since he fell sick last week. first he gives up a tonne of work, comes back a few hours later and tells us that he has spoken to the clients and now we have to change AGAIN FOR THE NTH TIME ALREADY THIS WEEK because that's how they want it to be. You know, just thinking about this, and thinking of what i've learned during college about good project management, the 'dos' and 'donts' in software development.. i can see all the 'donts' being done and the 'dos' neglected.
my boss (let's call him AH from now on) is not a programmer, definitely not a project manager or even an analyst. he's just someone who owns the company, get's clients/jobs and hands them out and at the end of each month, pay his employees in the most stingy way possible. incase you're wondering, AH is an indian (although i know a few people who assumed he was chinese after hearing what he does because apparently chinese employers are more strict and pushy and i dunno what else lar).
so yeah, he expects us to finish up everything at HIS given deadline, which in most times is impossible. i mean hello, we're fresh graduates here. you want cheap labour, you get slower work done! and speaking of cheap labour, he thinks we're robots sometimes. for e.g. my friend/colleague (let's call her C) has a doctor's appointment on 3 of the working days next week and she need to take at least the morning off. AH gives C her half-day leave and then later tells her, "so those 3 days, make sure you work even longer then".
WHAT THE HELL?!!! she's taking LEAVE for a reason and yet he wants her to leave work later? WHAT'S THE FRICKIN' POINT ON TAKING LEAVE if he wants her to work late????!!! she might as well just come in late and go back late right? and save her the annual leaves she's taking.
and now for the story you've been waiting for. it has been said that one of the trio programmers working at LI is quitting his job by the end of the year, leaving the other two his part, which he has taken months to do and yet not finish, and other parts of his which he hasn't begun yet. according to our psychic, she has forseen an additional gravyard to be taken within the next few weeks. can all this change? or in a worse case scenario, should one of the females from the trio decide to quit as well, that the time of the burial in said graveyard would be sooner than expected? stay tuned for more news!
there's more stuff i wanna say, but yeah it's all basically more whining and unfairness. so copy, edit and paste and that's what you'll get.

first off, happy diwali/deepavali to all of you celebrating~
the day was all fine until some old man i've not met for years, who i barely speak 2 sentences at a time, insulted me. -__-
crappy day (end basically) & work life aside, i'm off to penang!! as far away i can be (at possible present time) from work, computers and the likes of seeing my boss!
HAH! I HATE J00 HAX0RRZN00BLET!!111
so yeah.... even though i'm not /so/ looking forward to the trip, it beats.. well.. bah... something to take my mind off things.
and so i'm off to read a book, by the beach, 'sea breeze' and 'ocean wave sounds' and 'holo-holo' track from 'niea_7' playing in the background. now, if only i can find a hammock ^^

augh... i've only had 3 hours of 'rest' and not really sleep in the last 48 hours. question of the moment: will i last til the end of work tmr with the amount of work still left if i should not go to sleep now?
after reading the news about how some of the japanese earth-quake victims died from economy-class syndrome, i'm hoping i don't have the same problem. i mean, 2 days.. i've been infront of the pc... sitting... i'm not sure if i moved around much, but damn my butt hurts already and so do parts of my legs and back -_-
maybe i should just make a list of things left, look at how little there is actually left compared to when i started the list on sunday and be motivated a little :p
things left to do:
1. maintain tree state (haven't found a solution yet ^^;)
2. ordering of content scheduled (have many many parts to change - still needs figuring out)
3. change icons in all jsp files with trees (have many many files to change)
4. check if ticker is done (kacang putih)
5. check if tv-scheduling is done (should be ok.... i hope ^^;;)
6. OMG DELETE!!!!!! *dies* (just remembered this x_x)
bah... i'm going to sleep......
