But after several weeks of considerations, I’ve decided to stop blogging here. It has been fun blogging at <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com">Decayonnet</a>. But sometimes, you reach a point where you tell yourself that it is time to stop. I think I’ve reach that point quite sometime back. There are too many things that I couldn’t blog about here. Too many hate comments. There is nothing I can do to prevent these. Sometimes I’m just sick and tired of them.<br /><br />I started blogging at Decayonnet since <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2005/06/rollback.html">23 June 2005</a>. This is not my first blog. Before Decayonnet, I have several other blogs at blogspot and multiply. But Decayonnet is the longest, most linked and most visited blog I’ve ever written. To a certain extend, it took me quite a while to decide to give up on it.<br /><br />Thank you for all your support over the years.<br /><br />I love to blog. Blog is like my diary where I store things that are happening around me for future retrieval. It’s a place where my friends get their updates on what’s happening to me. It’s a place where I blast out my anger and share my happiness. It’s a place where I release my sorrow and cure my boredom. It is my online space.<br /><br />It is not easy to let go. But I'm letting go now.<br /><br />I guess those people who hate me are happy to see this blog entry. I’m sure they are celebrating now. Funny thing is, I never understand why they keep coming even when they hate me so much. Oh well. Whatever lah.<br /><br />But for those who loves to read my blog, not to worry. You can still find me at <a href="http://blog.dk.sg">http://blog.dk.sg</a>. See you there.<br /><br />PS: Please help update your hyperlink. :)<br />PS2: All comments on this blog has been disabled.

And the only place where you can satisfy her desire is at Geylang, land of the neon lights. You’ll find Hotel 81, Fragrance Hotel, and a whole chain of other smaller hotels at Geylang. But her urges cannot be settled at the hotel. She need more excitement than going hotel. <br /><br />She has cravings for Soya Beancurd in the middle of the night. It’s Tou Hua, not Tou Fu hor.<br /><br />Got a MSN message from Jean late Saturday night saying she feels like having Soya Beancurd. It’s like those pregnant women who for no reason have some sudden desire for food at some far corner of the world. And I knew that if a gal doesn’t get her cravings cured, all hell will break loose. So together with <a href="http://www.ridzuan.info/">Ridz</a>, we went on a mission to settle the lady’s craving in the middle of the night by bringing her to Geylang You Tiao Da Wang. <br /><br />Only to discovered that the famous You Tiao Da Wang at Geylang Lor 9 is no longer there. I even drove round the place twice to confirm. We Couldn’t find it. Either they closed down or moved to a new location. <br /><br />So we went over to Princep Street for Tou Hua. The Tou Hua is cheap and good. We managed to buy the last few bowl of Tou Hua, You Tiao and soya bean drink before they close for the day. It may not be as good as You Tiao Da Wang, but at least it can hold back Jean’s craving. The <br /><br />The next day, I did some googling and discover that You Tiao Da Wang has moved to Geylang Lor 27A. No wonder we can’t find it that day. <br /><br />So we went on another Tou Hua hunt last night after a session of bluff at Starbucks. This time round, we have Jean, <a href="http://blog.alicecheong.com/">Alice</a>, <a href="http://miccheng.com/">Miccheng</a> and <a href="http://plaktoz.com">Tian Hong</a>. Ridz didn’t come because he wanted to sleep early. And the strangest thing is, his twitter message last night is almost the same as <a href="http://nttup.wordpress.com/">NTT</a>’s. Take a look at these (Check out the timing of the twitter too):-<br /><br />Ridz: <a href="http://twitter.com/ridz84/statuses/751744712">gone to bed. my neck is killing me. good night world</a> <br />NTT: <a href="http://twitter.com/ntt/statuses/751803532">needs a good nite sleep.. :(</a> <br />Ridz: <a href="http://twitter.com/ridz84/statuses/751947362">argh. i can't sleep.</a> <br />NTT: <a href="http://twitter.com/ntt/statuses/751933972">is unable to sleep..</a> <br /><br />Hmmm.... How come they the same thing at almost the same time? Are they together? Oops.... Sorry, I digress.<br /><br />It wasn’t hard to find Geylang Lor 27A. The road system at Geylang is very systematic. If you travel along Geylang Road, the left side will be all the even number Lor while the right side will be the odd number Lor. Odd number Lor is where you find all the good food while even number Lor is where you find all the *cough* action *cough*.<br /><br />Oops... Sorry, I digress again.<br /><br />The standard of the Tou Hua seems to drop a bit, but it is still better than most Tou Hua in Singapore. And like bloggers always do, we spend several minutes taking photo of the food before eating.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R8JFaDMkw7I/AAAAAAAAA5M/sXqcSA57tV0/s1600-h/DSC03298.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R8JFaDMkw7I/AAAAAAAAA5M/sXqcSA57tV0/s320/DSC03298.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170771636011713458" /></a><br /><br />Oh well, at least I managed to satisfy Jean’s craving, after visiting Geylang with her 2 nights in a row. Let’s hope her next craving isn’t at some remote corner of Singapore.<br /><br />PS: This entry is written in response to <a href="http://blog.simplyjean.com/2008/02/24/going-to-geylang-with-dk-and-he-went-too-far/">Jean's entry.</a> Please do not poof me in Ping.sg for being misleading. :PDKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-29984425744520711992008-02-24T15:49:00.001+08:002008-02-24T15:49:29.542+08:00Friends for saleI've been hooked on this Facebook apps lately. It's call <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/friendsforsale/">Friends for Sale</a>.<br /><br />The rules is very simple. Just buy your friends (make them your pets) and hope that someone buy them from you. Or someone buys you. You earn profits when someone buy you or your pets. Everytime someone is being purchased, his or her value goes up. It's a fun and simple game.<br /><br />The guys at ping.sg are good at pushing someone's value sky high. Most of the ping.sg members are now very expensive. I think we need to buy someone from outside the group. Someone suggest a person to buy leh. :)<br /><br />And for some reasons, nobody wants to buy me anymore. My value has been stuck at $144216 for quite some time already.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7x0gjMkw5I/AAAAAAAAA48/SciVyjgv0Ak/s1600-h/Picture+2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7x0gjMkw5I/AAAAAAAAA48/SciVyjgv0Ak/s320/Picture+2.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169134574867104658" /></a><br /><br />Somebody buy me leh.<br /><br />On the side note: I think I piss off a <a href="http://nicolekiss.blogspot.com/2008/02/no.html">famous Malaysian blogger</a> in the game.

It is the worst teambuilding ever. <br /><br />Firstly, I don't know why the secrecy behind the location of the teambuilding. They didn't announce where we will be going. Just told us to assemble at office for the transport. I woke up late despite having 2 alarm clock, 1 handphone, 1 radio and someone calling me. So I called my colleague to check where the bus is heading. <br /><br />I took cab to the location and discovered that I was the earliest as the bus haven't reached yet. Sigh. They should have given us the option to assemble at Kallang too. Would be easier. Waited at least 15 minutes for the rest to arrive.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R79r8zMkw6I/AAAAAAAAA5E/NI43uDPwccs/s1600-h/DSC03272.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R79r8zMkw6I/AAAAAAAAA5E/NI43uDPwccs/s320/DSC03272.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169969589523891106" /></a><br /><br />The morning activities was still alright. We got on a dragon boat and row to a nearby beach where we have some teambuilding activities on survival. Need to start a fire to boil water and set up a shelter. And we were given a lighter, mess tin and groundsheet. That should be easy. After that, we had a short dragon boat race.<br /><br />After the dragon boat race, we took a bus to Sarimbun for our lunch and afternoon activities. The food is so so only. But the afternoon activities are horrible. We had Muai Thai, self defence and some breathing exercise. Each activities lasted 40 minutes. It is weird to do these things for Team Building. Where is the Team Building element? We are just like individual, learning the sport. No team interaction, no nothing. Just stand there, punch and kick when instructed. For a moment, I thought I'm at a martial arts school open house, trying out the lesson to see which one am I interested.And the breathing exercise is the worst of all. I have no idea what is it. It looks like Tai Chi, but it is not. <br /><br />Sigh. And I thought last year's <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2007/01/teambuilding_31.html">Team Building</a> was bad enough.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-77297140971033860312008-02-23T00:43:00.001+08:002008-02-23T00:43:25.806+08:00I won a bit on TotoI won abit of money on Toto.<br /><br />Thursday's Toto grand prize was $10 million dollars. Whenever Singapore pools has this $10 million ang pow Toto draw, I would spend at least $50 buying some lottery tickets. I don't usually buy 4D and Toto. In fact, I buy less than 5 times each year. The thing is, I don't have the lottery luck. The max I won was about $90. <br /><br />Someone provided a set of numbers on my comment after reading my blog entry regarding <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2008/02/will-i-renew-my-contract.html">my contract</a>.<br /><br />1, 3, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21<br /><br />Well, I hope nobody buy those number. Because they didn't win. The winning number was:<br /><br />1, 15, 18, 19, 25, 37 + 2<br /><br />But I did won a bit this time round. Cause I didn't buy Toto this time round.<br />Like I said, I would usually spend $50 on $10 million Toto draw. Since I didn't buy this time round, I considered that I have won $50. Haha. Not a lot, but not bad lah.<br /><br />OK, perhaps I would have a chance to 'win more' if I actually buy Toto. But then, I think $50 also not bad. :)DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-48637999934894506382008-02-21T23:05:00.000+08:002008-02-21T23:04:53.460+08:00I'm glad I stop using Nokia PhonesI still remember my first handphone is a Nokia 6110. It was the best phone around during that time. Few years later, I upgraded to a Nokia 6510. And after that, a Nokia 6230. That when I gave up on Nokia.<br /><br />Firstly, the service centre was horrible. And to make things worst, Nokia released a Nokia 6230i, which is exactly the same as my Nokia 6230, except for a better camera. Felt so cheated when I buy the Nokia 6230.<br /><br />So I switched to Sony Ericsson K750i. I never regretted that move. I'm now on my second Sony Ericsson phone, K800i, and I'm loving the handphone's camera and MP3.<br /><br />Sony Ericsson phones are not without flaws. They are well known to have problem with the joystick and keypad. In fact, I just send <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2007/08/my-handphone-has-been-hospitalized.html">my Sony Ericsson for repair last Aug</a> because of that. But I was impressed by the service level at the Sony Ericsson service centre. The waiting time is short. They have to keep my phone for a few days, but everything was repaired after that.<br /><br />I'm so glad that I'm using Sony Ericsson.<br /><br />Some <a href="http://forum.omy.sg/showthread.php?t=2120">Nokia user aren't so lucky</a>.<br /><br /><blockquote><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I won a battle against Nokia</span><br /><br />I finally won the battle against Nokia Pte Ltd. <br /><br />I bought a Nokia phone in Aug 2007 through Starhub with 24months contract at $388. <br /><br />The phone was not functioned properly in the very first week. I tried to ask for a one to one exchange and was replied, "Nokia has no such policy". I got no choice but to send to Nokia Care Centre for repair. <br /><br />Between Aug 2007 and Nov 2007, countless of visitation and many phone call were made to Nokia. So much time was wasted but the phone was getting from bad to worst. <br /><br />I gave warning to Nokia that I was considering to file a claim against them through Small Claim Tribunal. I finally took action as there was no proper follow up from Nokia after one month. <br /><br />Nokia authorized a young girl to come for the first consultation and then in default of attending before the Tribunal for the rest. <br /><br />I finally won the case and was awarded $778 by Small Claim Tribunal in 18 Dec 2007. <br /><br />Nokia was given 15 days to make the settlement, but they did not respond to me. <br /><br />I called to check about it on 22 Jan 2008, and Nokia said that they did not receive such notice. <br /><br />I went to their HQ the next day, after presenting the Order of Tribunal to the Manager, he finally agree to pay. However, Nokia would pay me if only I agreed to sign a conditional letter. They wanted to keep my mouth shut and I was not allowed to disclose this claim to any third party. I refused as they had no right to impose any condition because this was not an out of court settlement. <br /><br />I then applied for WSS (Writ of Seizure and Sale) the next day. An appointment date was scheduled on 11 Feb 2008.<br /><br />I accompany the bailiff officer to Nokia HQ. Nokia was then given two options by the bailiff officer. One was to make settlement and the other one was let the bailiff officer to sticker their movable assets. <br /><br />They finally woke up and agree to make payment. By then, they got to pay $1,018.43 instead of $778. <br /><br />By sharing this experience, I hope that many have a better idea of what to do if encounter similar situation in the future. <br /><br />Many of us wouldn’t want to take the trouble to make such claim. Some may have no time, and some may think that Nokia is such a big company and no point goes against them. <br /><br />The Relations Manager of Nokia, Ms Serene Teo, told me that I won’t be able to win the case and the most I could only get back $388. This was what she believed, but she was wrong.</blockquote><br /><br />Can't believe that they made such a big error. When someone has the Order of Tribunal, the only thing that you should do is pay the amount stated. If you try to be funny, he can always apply for a Writ of Seizure and Sale which you will have sticker pasted on your assets. <br /><br />That won't be a nice sight.<br /><br />Another <a href="http://www.spug.sg/forums/showpost.php?p=1231221&postcount=1">SPUGGER</a> is complaining about Nokia service too. Think Nokia really need to do something about their service provider. It is ruining their reputation.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-26960064089007271662008-02-21T11:33:00.000+08:002008-02-21T11:32:59.249+08:00Singapore PHP User Group Poster BoyI became the poster boy for Singapore PHP User Group's <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=21129705593">PHP Bootcamp kick off</a>. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7xuNjMkw4I/AAAAAAAAA40/OtYVD5iVkAs/s1600-h/Flyer_highres.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7xuNjMkw4I/AAAAAAAAA40/OtYVD5iVkAs/s320/Flyer_highres.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169127651379823490" /></a><br /><br />Too bad I can't attend this event.

Yes, my contract with my current company will expire in March. In fact, I’ve been counting down to this date since <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2007/12/99-days-left.html">early Dec 07</a>. Look at the latest stats now.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7ql2TMkw3I/AAAAAAAAA4s/lLrUVapiwiY/s1600-h/DSC03256.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7ql2TMkw3I/AAAAAAAAA4s/lLrUVapiwiY/s320/DSC03256.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168625874645599090" /></a><br /><br />My team lead told me that the company will be renewing my contract. No surprise here since the company virtually renew everybody’s contract unless they really cannot make it. The thing is, HR department haven’t approached me regarding the new contract. Well, HR always cock up. I remember they actually forgot to renew someone’s contract until last few days when everybody starts to panic. Sometimes I wonder if there is a module on “How to cock up” in HR degree and diploma. They seem to excel in this area. And since the error is internal, they usually don’t need to answer to the top. I’ve decided to keep my mouth shut and see how long will HR take to notice that my contract is ending. This should be fun.<br /><br />I know I’ve been saying that I don’t want to renew my contract for many years already. But every time I say I don’t want to renew my contract, something will pop out, making me renew my contract and work for another year. So let’s just say that the feeling of not renewing is getting stronger each year.<br /><br />And I know there is no use for me replying those questions. If I say I don’t want to renew my contract, people will say I’ve been saying that for many years already and I will surely renew. Well, if you think I’ll surely renew my contract, then why still ask me that question? Haha.<br /><br />Oh well, we’ll see how it goes in 21 days time.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-59950754554899144362008-02-19T02:55:00.000+08:002008-02-19T02:51:20.647+08:00Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away<span style="font-weight:bold;">Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away</span><br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KnQycPh7dcI&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KnQycPh7dcI&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />I've lied to you <br />The same way that I always do <br />This is the last smile <br />That I'll fake for the sake of being with you <br /><br />Pre chorus: <br />(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down) <br />The sacrifice of hiding in a lie <br />(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind) <br />The sacrifice is never knowing <br /><br />Why I never walked away <br />Why I played myself this way <br />Now I see your testing me pushes me away <br /><br />I've tried like you <br />To do everything you wanted too <br />This is the last time <br />I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you <br /><br />Pre chorus <br />Chorus (2x) <br /><br />We’re all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds <br />The sacrifice of hiding in a lie <br />We’re all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds <br />The sacrifice is never knowing <br /><br />Chorus (2x) <br /><br />Pushes me away…(2x)DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-494770055554714012008-02-18T11:43:00.000+08:002008-02-18T11:43:08.522+08:00Advertisement that pissed you off 2Here is another advertisement that piss me off lately.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7jz-hgpX4I/AAAAAAAAA4U/KcZOQYcEmWk/s1600-h/annoying_ads.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R7jz-hgpX4I/AAAAAAAAA4U/KcZOQYcEmWk/s320/annoying_ads.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168148827880382338" /></a><br /><br />This advertisement is poping out in some of the blogs that I visit frequently. It's not the advertisement subject or image. It's that annoying sound from the advertisement. The sound is turned on by default. So everytime you visit a blog with that advertisement, you have to turn it off manually or endure that annoying sound. (and everytime you move to another page, you have to turn it off again)<br /><br />The sound is very irritating. What message is the advertiser trying to convey? Are they trying to sayt that their vibrator makes this irritating "hmmm.... hmmmm...." sound? Who will buy a vibrator that produces such annoying sound?DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-23659302953971455172008-02-17T20:27:00.004+08:002008-02-18T00:42:25.717+08:00UntitledOpen up blogger and wonder how do I put my current thoughts into words. Took me quite some time to type out these words. I'm not having another blogger's block or anything.

The store owners are clearing their stocks and alot of things are selling at dirt cheap. <br /><br />We couldn't resist when we pass by the Mua Chee store. It's really crazy out there. The 4 of us decided to each fork out $10 to buy $40 worth of Mua Chee. It's as if war is coming and we are stocking up Mua Chee as rations.<br /><br />Had a great time at Edmund's place dividing the Mua Chee among ourselves after the Chinatown trip.

USA 193 is an American military spy satellite owned by the National Reconnaissance Office. The craft's precise function and purpose are classified. The satellite lost contact with the ground less than a month after launch in Dec 06. It is on deteriorating orbit and that the object was expected to <br />crash into the Earth within weeks.<br /><br />They have no idea where it will land. To make things worst, it contains hazardous materials. <br /><br />I guess it's time to call Bruce Willis<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R6kyAH0teTI/AAAAAAAAA3g/3qV2YQoIpQg/s1600-h/armageddon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R6kyAH0teTI/AAAAAAAAA3g/3qV2YQoIpQg/s320/armageddon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163713425438505266" /></a><br /><br />OK, I'm just kidding. The impact won't be as big as armageddon. But if the satellite hit a city, it's going to cause lots of damage. <br /><br />Anyway, United States Navy is preparing to destroy it with a missile before it hit earth. So I guess we don't need to worry about space junk hitting us.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-50093657483551451832008-02-15T11:54:00.000+08:002008-02-15T11:54:08.503+08:00Pump price easy to go up, hard to come downI read the recent <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/Free/Story/STIStory_206282.html">Straits Times article</a> about the pump prices with great amusement. Basically, the crude oil prices have gone down but the price of petrol still remains high. Furthermore, the US dollar has weaken against the Singapore dollar. So basically, the petrol prices should go down. But it didn’t.<br /><br />Here are some of the interesting responses.<br /><br /><blockquote>Shell, which made US$31 billion (S$44 billion) last year, said contributing factors include 'international political volatility', and duties and taxes.</blockquote><br /><br />Right, tell me that when you increase the petrol prices due to higher crude oil prices.<br /><br /><blockquote>SPC, which made $508 million last year, said: 'There is usually a lag between oil price movement and pump price adjustment.'</blockquote><br /><br />It seems to me that the lag only applies when the price needs to be adjusted downwards. I don’t remember much lag when they are adjusting upwards.<br /><br /><blockquote>Chevron, which made US$18.7 billion last year and which markets the Caltex brand of fuels here, said it also monitors competitors' reactions to market forces before deciding to move prices.</blockquote><br /><br />Good move. So where is the competition? It’s like a monopoly now.<br /><br /><blockquote>ExxonMobil, which made US$40.6 billion last year - the highest profit for any firm in history - echoed some of the reasons cited by its rivals.</blockquote><br /><br />Wow... US$40.6 billion profits? <br /><br /><blockquote>Case's Mr Seah said the association wrote to oil firms last month raising the issue of unyielding pump prices, but it has yet to receive a response.</blockquote><br /><br />Good move by the oil firms. Next time, if any company got letters from CASE, just ignore those useless fellow. They can’t do anything if you don’t reply them.<br /><br /><blockquote>Mr Ong, the oil consultant, said the industry might soon have another excuse to raise crude prices. Venezuela has stopped selling oil to ExxonMobil in response to the US company's move to use the courts to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets. </blockquote><br /><br />Oh great.... We are going to be screwed again.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-91647883393799557962008-02-15T02:59:00.004+08:002008-02-15T03:02:15.614+08:00How I spend my Valentine's DaySurprisingly, I managed to have a good time on Valentine's Day despite my single status. At first I thought it was going to be a ruined day because of some last minutes changes here and there which causes lots of unnecessary confusion. In the end, we stick back to the old plan.<br /><br />Went halfway round Singapore to fetch 2 ladies. End up reaching Raffles City pretty late. The rest of the "Single Support Group Members" were there already. Since the guys already had their dinner, I went dinner with 3 very beautiful ladies.<br /><br />And the thing is, all 3 of them are single. I wonder what good deeds have I done for the past one year to deserve such good rewards. Thank you to the guy upstair.<br /><br />Dinner was great. We were cracking jokes while having our late dinner. One of the funniest joke is about the meaning behind the number of roses.<br /><br /><blockquote>She: What does 3 roses stands for?<br />Me: I love you.<br />She: What does 12 roses stands for?<br />Me: I'm richer than the guy who send 3 roses.<br />She: Then what does 99 roses stands for?<br />Me: I'm the richest of them all.<br />She What about 999 roses?<br />Me: I'm just trying to sabo you, see how you going to carry them home.</blockquote><br /><br />Hahaha.... OK, kinda crappy. In case you are interested, here is the <a href="http://www.loveletterbox.com/meaning_of_roses.htm">REAL meaning behind the number of roses</a>.<br /><br />Didn't expect my Valentine's Day to turn out so well. This is the first time that I actually enjoyed Valentine's Day when I'm single.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-23638650431750477282008-02-14T18:02:00.001+08:002008-02-14T18:06:31.677+08:00About giving flowers on Valentine’s DayFlowers are damn expensive on Valentine’s Day. Well, this is the time when florists collect their bonus. For me, I never bothered the price of the flowers. It’s the quality of the flowers that bothers me more. If you notice, most flowers that you buy on Valentine’s Day aren’t as pretty as normal days. They are either dying or not yet blossom. That is because there is an over demand for flowers. If you really have to buy flowers on Valentine’s Day, try buying from someone you know. Most likely they would reserve the better ones for you.<br /><br />It is best to send the flower to the gal’s office. As <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2006/02/flowers-for-v-day.html">the article suggested</a>, gals like to receive the flowers in their office. The feeling is totally different from you giving it to her at night when you meet her for dinner. (Unless she is the very shy/private tyoe) And the best timing to send the flowers is before lunchtime. So that the flowers can be the talking point among her colleagues during lunch.<br /><br />This year nobody to send flower to. Just keep this article here for future reference. <br /><br />----<br /><br />Tstar posted a beautiful song on her blog. And now I’m hooked to it. Aaaahhh!!! Keep listening to this song on repeat mode.<br />But I prefer Micheal Buble’s version. Can’t find the MTV or live concert version. Will have to make do with this video with the SIMs. <br /><br />Hope that next year I’ll be able to sing this song to the gal I love. I've no idea who you are. Where you are? I don't even know if I know you already. I just wish you will come soon. So that you can put your head on my shoulder and hold me in your arms.<br /><br /><strong>Micheal Buble - Put Your Head On My Shoulder</strong><br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xaRcPcYUFYw&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xaRcPcYUFYw&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />Put your head on my shoulder<br />Hold me in your arms, baby<br />Squeeze me oh so tight<br />Show me that you love me too<br /><br />Put your lips next to mine, dear<br />Won't you kiss me once, baby<br />Just a kiss goodnight, maybe<br />You and I will fall in love<br /><br />Some people say that love's a game<br />A game you just can't win<br />If there's a way<br />I'll find it someday<br />And then this fool will rush in<br /><br />Put your head on my shoulder<br />Whisper in my ear, baby<br />Words I want to hear, tell me<br />Tell me that you love me too<br /><br />Some people say that love's a game<br />A game you just can't win<br />If there's a way<br />I'll find it someday<br />And then this fool will rush in<br /><br />Put your head on my shoulder<br />Whisper in my ear, baby<br />Words I want to hear, tell me<br />Put your head on....my...shoulderDKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-23300179414489822262008-02-14T13:02:00.000+08:002008-02-14T13:01:42.888+08:00Warning to all flower delivery guysToday is Valentine’s day. As usual, lots of guys will send flowers to the gal’s office. I posted <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2006/02/flowers-for-v-day.html">an article</a> about how gals prefer to receive flowers in the office. Look, if you going to send flowers to her, why not send to office where her colleagues will be envy of her and potential admirers would know that she is happily attached. Do read that article, I find it very interesting. :)<br /><br />Anyway, just a warning to all flower delivery guys who are delivering flowers to my office. Try not to piss off the admin.<br /><br />One flower delivery guy came over today morning and almost didn't make it out of my office alive. <br /><br />I open the door for the flower delivery guy since I was closer to the door and the admin was busy. He asked if I know where is AAA sitting. Problem is, I don’t know who is AAA. Before you start blaming me for not knowing all my colleagues, let me say that my office is huge. VERY HUGE. Check out <a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2006/05/ive-moved.html">the photos of my office </a>if you don’t believe. I never really count, but I guess there are enough tables for 300 people. On top of that, some of the people here are our vendors. It is impossible for anyone here to know everybody.<br /><br />So I told the flower delivery guy that I don know the person and ask if he has that person’s telephone number. I told him that this is a very big office and impossible for us to know everybody her. Instead of checking his delivery order to find the gal’s telephone number, he points his finger at the admin and said “Can ask that gal if she know?” Good luck to you man. You are brave to try to piss off the admin.<br /><br />“How I know who is AAA? You think I staff directory huh? This office so big where to find her? You think I so free go and help you find people ah? Somemore this delivery is not for work purpose. You don’t have the telephone number huh? Cannot call her is it?” Blah blah blah blah. And the scolding goes on and on and on. <br /><br />I siam back to my seat while the poor delivery guy continues to be blasted by the admin. No, the admin isn’t in a bad mood because today is Valentine’s day and she didn’t get any flowers. She is always like that.<br /><br />So, just a warning to all delivery guys coming to my office. Don’t piss off the admin. When someone tells you to phone the person, you better phone that person. Asking the admin will only give you a horrible death. <br /><br />You have been warned.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-571778633097569722008-02-14T11:01:00.000+08:002008-02-14T11:00:56.235+08:00The Writers Strike is Officially Over<a href="http://decayonnet.blogspot.com/2007/11/save-script-writer-save-world.html">Save the Script Writers, Save the world.</a><br /><br />The <a href="http://tv.ign.com/articles/851/851735p1.html">writers strike is officially over</a>!

I sure hope they can take their time to give us a better season 3 to make up for the poor done season 2.<br /><br />Now that the Script Writers has been saved, it’s time to save the cheer leader again.

Which means it’s all human’s birthday! Happy birthday everyone. :)<br /><br /><br />I was reading the Wikipedia and found a very interesting write up on Ren Ri. Ren Ri falls on the 7th day after Chinese New Year. According to Chinese legend, earth was created by 女媧 (Nu Wa). She created different animals on different days and human were created on the 7th day. But we all know that this is just a myth. And the most interesting thing is that chicken was created on the first day of Chinese New Year. Which means chicken’s birthday is on the first day of Chinese New Year. OK, own up, who ate chicken on their birthday? Hahaha. Me guilty.<br /><br />How do you celebrate Ren Ri?

There were lots of people complaining about how the "a third filled by foreigners" misleaded them.<br /><br />The reporters do listen to our feedback. And they amended the article again to give it a new improved title. And seriously, I like this new title more than the previous 2.<br /><br />The newly improved title is <a href="http://www.straitstimes.com/Free/Story/STIStory_202143.html">"S'poreans and foreigners gain from job boom".</a> And to make sure that everything goes right, they added another reporter to help edit the article. Isn't that nice?<br /><br />This is what I call Creative Journalism at its best. Nicely packaged. The whole article looks more pleasant to the eyes now. After reading this article, I begin to feel that the 66.6% of the Singaporeans made the right choice.<br /><br /><blockquote><br /><strong>S'poreans and foreigners gain from job boom</strong> <br />By Goh Chin Lian and Keith Lin <br /><br />THE economy grew so fast last year it created a record-busting 236,600 jobs, with six in 10 of them going to foreigners as there were not enough locals to fill all the openings. <br />That is up from the 2006 figure of five in 10 jobs going to foreigners. <br /><br />The Manpower Ministry said in its statement yesterday that both Singaporeans and foreigners gained from the job boom. <br /><br />The number of new jobs that went to locals rose last year to 92,100, up from 90,900 in 2006. <br /><br />But foreign employment soared to 144,500 last year. <br /><br />The services sector was the main engine of growth, adding 144,100 jobs. Most of these were in the financial and professional services. The construction sector grew by 40,900 jobs, double that of the previous year, and manufacturing by 49,400. <br /><br />At the same time, the overall unemployment rate fell to a 10-year low of 2.1 per cent last year. On average, 56,900 Singaporeans and permanent residents were unemployed last year, down from 67,600 in 2006. <br /><br />Retrenchment dipped to a 14-year low, with 7,200 workers laid off, the bulk from manufacturing. The ministry said that reflected the ongoing restructuring in the electronics industry. <br /><br />National University of Singapore labour economist Park Cheolsung said it was unsurprising that in such a buoyant labour market, a larger share of the new jobs went to foreigners. <br /><br />'The labour market situation is so rosy that most Singaporeans should have jobs if they want to. For many companies, turning to foreigners is the only way they can find workers right now.' <br /><br />The ministry, which has relaxed foreign worker quotas and hiring requirements in recent years, said the injection of foreigners enabled the economy to 'grow beyond the limits of Singapore's indigenous workforce'. <br /><br />Singapore registered GDP growth of 7.5 per cent last year. <br /><br />Foreigners are key to the boom being enjoyed by the construction and marine sectors, where they are taking up posts that Singaporeans find unattractive. <br /><br />In the shipping industry, workers from Bangladesh, India, China and Myanmar are employed as tradesmen - who do work such as welding - as well as technicians and assistant engineers. <br /><br />Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Employees' Union president Wong Weng Ong said: 'A welder gets $400 to $500 a month. Most Singaporeans won't work for you for less than $1,000.' <br /><br />An increasing number of foreigners are also working in the services sector, doing jobs that range from waiting on tables to high-end ones in finance, logistics and information technology. <br /><br />As of December last year, one in three workers here - or 900,800 - were foreigners. <br /><br />But job growth could moderate this year, economists say. Dr Chua Hak Bin of Citigroup said: 'Already, the global credit crunch has resulted in some retrenchment in certain sectors, such as financial services.'</blockquote> <br /><br />I always told my friends that the best salesperson is someone who can persuade everyone to go to hell and they will even look forward to the trip.DKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14299957121601974646noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13894102.post-70485968253470188012008-02-11T14:45:00.000+08:002008-02-11T14:45:33.428+08:00Goodbye Ah MengI guess most of you heard of the news that Ah Meng passed away last friday (8 Feb 2008). She was 48 years old and had died of old age. <br /><br />Ah Meng, the Sumatran orang utan, is an icon in the Singapore Zoo. She is such a big star that almost everyone knows her. And when a kid saw a Orang Utan in the Zoo, chances are they will point at it and shout "Ah Meng" instead of Monkey or Orang Utan.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R6_tvxgpX1I/AAAAAAAAA34/Ut881j-0ATg/s1600-h/php1dHLzh.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_isk1o8_XWYA/R6_tvxgpX1I/AAAAAAAAA34/Ut881j-0ATg/s320/php1dHLzh.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165608702617149266" /></a><br /><br />Goodbye Ah Meng.
