My new samsung mobile phone

2+ months ago, I went to the Singtel booth at the PC Show 2008. Wanted to buy the HTC Touch Diamond, but Singtel refused to let me buy with the offer price because I had 2 mths to go for my mobile phone contract.

Last Thursday, I went to the COMEX 2008, and finally I got my new phone. Not HTC Touch Diamond though. It's Samsung's Omnia. I never bought a non-nokia phone before. This is the first time.

After using for a few days, find that it's great. It's like taking a PC and putting it in your pocket. Haaa. $548.00, that is the price i paid. With 2 years contract.

The specs of the phone is great:
- 16 GB of disk space
- 5 megapixel camera
- Windows Mobile 6.1
- Wifi
- GPS
- Many more lah..

If you compare Omnia with Apple's i-phone, well, the only thing about i-phone is its cool, but in terms of functionalities, Omnia beat i-phone all hands and legs down.

good about i-phone
- i-pod with i-tunes inbuilt
- looks cool

bad about i-phone:
- no bluetooth to other devices except i-phone headset
- no message forwarding
- 2 megapixel camera with no video recording capability
- disk space limited with no expansion slots
- no radio

so i think its not worth the price lah. but its cool lah. apple mah. but to me, its like i-pod touch with phone capability lor.

The food that we brought


* fotos from may's friendster. Thanks may =)

Anyway that Mr D C also went. Those who know him should know who lah. We never talk as usual. Then I was at the pits most of the time. Anyway, I was thinking of maybe saying "Hi" or "Bye" or something. But well, never mind lah. Its doesnt matter anyway. He is like a stranger in our party haha... to me lah.

Anyway, Wanfen wedding, Peicong's son birthday, Wenxing and company's dinner, and today bbq, still the same lah. haaaa.. but only difference this time i dun feel "gao wei" (not at ease in hokkien) when i see him.

PM say go match making

do u think i should go match making anot. PM says leh. Now people got no time, narrow circle of friends, career-minded. No time to go find love leh. So let people find love for you lor.

Narrow circle of friends is true for me. I not very socialable one. then friends all bz with their lives or making more lives or taking care of new lives so where got time for me. Most of the time i hang out with my best friend johnson lah. but he himself damn bz with work liao lor. so when i meet him, he also with his gf lor. then got his brother and the brother gf also.

so im like the odd one out lor. haa.. sometimes abit sian, but bo bian. all attached where got girl let me like?

who ask me no girl like. like girl but no gut like. no looks look for looks. no girl eye kena stamp like.

then hor... no ICT call up so far leh, need to take my IPPT before my birthday leh. so sian leh. think got to go khatib camp be a horse like tat run around the stadium with a computerised tag liao.

then hor, my blading still sucks leh. so demoralising leh. dunno izzit problem with my right leg or wad. just cannot go faster lor. then backache like hell. my friend say becoz my posture wrong. should bend knees not bend back when blading.

then tok about some health issue thingy. me gng to see nose specialist next mth. my nose 95% of the time like block like tat. so i went to yishun polyclinic last sat. wait there for almost 3 hrs before i see the doctor. got a referral to TTSH for checkup. my mother say they will put a scope into my nose. yeeucks... better dun go think about it first. Hope the doctor can fix my nose. if not sometimes i feel breathless leh, coz nose cant get enough air. even walking, climbing stairs also will. not tat i not fit or wad leh. i run twice a week leh.

on the other hand, bowling also sucks. got my own personal ball. buy glove. but bowling still super inconsistence. sometimes can get ok score, but most of time disappointing.

got one phase tat best describe me lor: Jack of all trades, master of none.

Join so many things but nothing really works well lor.

I want to be a guitarist!!!!

my colleagues wanted to go learn guitar. they asked me if i want to go along also. so i just went lor. tat was last wednesday lah. then we signed up on the wed 8pm class. the lesson is at replugged at bugis street somewhere.

today is first lesson. ok lah, learn got to pluck a few sounds lor. haaa. not ez leh seriously....

so maybe if i managed to learn how to play a sound, i play for u all to hear ok. anyway the replugged teaching is based on chinese pop songs. so maybe i play a chinese pop song lah ok...

hopefully i dun give up halfway lah. haa.....

Happy Birthday Singapore!!

Today is 9th August, Singapore National Day. Nothing special actually. Somehow I dun feel any national day spirit anywhere this year. Nobody put up flags outside their flats anyway.

On the other hand, I really dun have any things to blog about leh. everyday is the same old boring day.

so tats explains why not much updates lah. coz nothing happen mah. haaaa

Move to SIA building

Today was machiam first day at work. New office, new environment. Not that I change my job, is my job change location. From capital tower move to SIA building. Not the whole bank, just a few department.

how come like tat? my stupid boss lor. a few years back want to cut cost, go and let go one floor to other company. Not our bank got full license liao, want to expand some more, but no space!!! So some of the departments got to shift to SIA lor. And my department is one of them lor.

Bo biah lor, boss say move, we move lor. From 12th floor move to 23th floor. Then the lift damn slow and keep stopping coz many people working below us. becoz of dis, got to wake up 5 mins early so as to make sure can arrive on time lor.

before 8.30 must reach lor. not 8.30 sharp leh. is before 8.30. all my stupid dh fault lor. wahaha...

super singlish leh this post. s*b*i buay tahan leh. wahahh.. crazy liao me. cant blame me ah... monday blueeeeeeeeeeeeee ah.........

PES Status

Today went back to camp in the afternoon for medical review for my PES status because my temp downgrade to PES C expire liao.

The MO say most likely the medical board will not perm downgrade me lor. He say the most excuse me from SBJ, the rest of the IPPT still take.

Then i tell the MO, if cannot downgrade me perm, please upgrade me back to normal PES B. I dun want to take the whole IPPT and no incentive because I nvr take SBJ. This will be so frustrating.

The MO say he will take note of this. I hope so lor. If not I sure go for review again.

skin change again + little bro go ns

couple of updates.

19th June
Attended my sec sch friend Joleen wedding at Shangri-La Hotel. Really like the ballroom. Very grand and beautiful. Big as well. I think got about 60+ tables in total. But the food and service so so only. Food is served in individual plates; I prefer grabbing the food from the center myself. And the number of waiters and waitresses is not enough to service all tables. Most of the tables have empty cups most of the time. Not really very good lah I feel. Nevertheless, very happy to see my friend Joleen happily married with her husband Sean. May they have a blissful marriage and have a wonderful time together.

23th June
I decided to quit my half-time job for now. I never mention anything about this before. Anyway I feel much at ease now. More time to watch my hk dramas, do my gym, eat with family, play my games, have more sleep and many more....

27th June
I got a salary increment of about 5% starting from next month. Not really alot compared to previous years. But previous years I was a contract staff lah. Salary increment was more when a new contract was offered mah. Now perm staff, follow normal flow liao. Every july, salary adjustment and end year, bonus. But still I think my bank is very stingy lah. See how lah after bonus.

30 June
Received Mizuho Award from my GM for the Vietnam project that my project team did. Got a cert that is useless outside Mizuho and some award money. The award money is given to my big Boss. And you know how idiotic he is anot. He asked me and my team mate "So how you want to do with the money, very miserable amount. Shall we treat the whole department? I will come out with the balance.". C'mon lah, he asked the question so loudly that the whole department can hear liao lor. How can we say otherwise? Anyway the award is about a few hundred dollars lor. So what balance he has to come out? Take all the credit in treating the whole department with our money lor.

1st July
Received another award from my GM for the Vietnam project as well. This time the money goes straight to my bank account. So at least I can get the money this time. On the other hand, GM also gave out the letters to the promotees. But... none from my department got promoted lor. So demoralizing. Imagine those who work for years dun get promoted, when will it reached us who are at the bottom?


Ok lah thats all for now. Tata.
