The Damned World

You might be thinking what is this thing that looks sort of like a template whereby plastic surgeons use for breast augmentation.



I saw a colleague using this the other day at my 2 week temp job office. My contract will be terminated this Tuesday in which i will have to look for jobs again probably. Bad times. I will just take any job offer i can find.



Alright, that template is actually disc label. You design the layout to your liking then feed that to the printer to have your design printed out on it. Then just paste it onto the cd.

Cadiac arrest. Check it out on the web on your own.

First, i going just lay in some photos from my temp job here for memories.

Next, last friday was when my supervisor left early.


To be specific, she didn't came back after lunch. You all know what happens in 'Night in a Museum', when the guest left the museum, the artifacts come alive.


I gave myself an extended lunch and go slow on the work. I could also sense the friday mood in the office.


The lesser tension made the friday rather pleasant.


When it was approaching knocking off hour, i just want to slack.


I didn't want to see anymore calculations. So i did this.












After my Picasso level of art was completed, i knocked off. This marks the beginning of the weekend..








..when i will be working more elsewhere...

I finally managed to get some jobs and have started these few days. Wednesday i started a temp job contract for 1 week or so. The first day went pretty peacefully and the second day was faster probably because i got adapted.



It is in Tuas but rather near to residential. On day 1, I misjudged and alighted 1 bus stop before the correct one. Luckily it wasn't an unreachable distance and i was still early. I was attended by a lady from HR in her late 20s who walked like a horse probably because of her high heels. I followed her to the HR department where she digged for some documentation for some time while i stood and waited at a counter-like sort of desk. Shortly after i ran out of things to see, i saw an ant crossing the desk. Bored, i used a transparent acrylic frame and lay it on top of it, watching it struggled in a death trap. To end its miseries, i dragged the frame forwards and backwards slowly, tearing its limbs and body until it was beyond classification as an ant.



She explained to me briefly and discomposedly about the contract, procedures of signing in to work and some miscellenious matters. After that, she gave me an orientation around the whole 3 storey factory building. Thank god only the production area wasn't air conditioned.



There was a corner where we came close to a door with a sign attached to it showing a symbol that resembles a female distinctively. She then said, 'This is the ladies.'



So i replied politely, "Oh. Ok.."



When the orientation was over, i was introduced to my immediate supervisor who was a thin woman in her 40s, likes to point her index finger around in whatever she does and brought sandwiches from home for her breakfast. I then tried to pick up what i need to do from another temp who started working 2 days ahead of me.



The day then dragged on monotonously which was not really worth blogging about.



Day 2 came some pain in the neck when some companies called to offer me jobs after i have gotten one and not when i am idling for the passed few weeks after taking their interviews.



Thats all for a little update about my business. The next few days i would be around working as well. Time to feed the anorexic wallet of mine.

There are 4 of these similiar exhibition and surprisingly, there are many people into technologies.

If you drop by, the entire shopping mall is crowded including food courts, nearby foodcourts, shopping mall, etc. Please be prepared.

Anyway my friend wanted to get some stuffs and needed company as well as advise, so i was there. It was really scary the crowd..

I was at a shopping mall yesterday when i saw a fish doctor service at an introductory price of $5 for 10mins. So we decided to give it a try.

It was damn ticklish. Luckily it was late in the evening and there weren't much crowd to laugh at my countless uncontrollable expressions.

Some spots could trigger me to twitch or fidget. I hoped i didn't injured any of the little fishes as they provided a fantastic service.

On my way home yesterday, i went passed a shop selling some import food, i saw my favourite coke in a different dress and heavier.

After reading the wrapper, i realized that it is from China. It cost $2.05 for this 2.5L. Actually don't know safe to drink or not but heck la. It is not as if i am going to buy that everyday.





Time to try the Made in China coke..

Now if this post appeared, means it is successful. To think that we are able to do blogging on your mobile phone and send it through telco network into world wide web is quite amazing.

So here it goes. Will it work?

Thanks to a bit of lousy humour i laid in my msn nick, the word 'gay' seemed to revolve around for the past few days. People joked and repeat gay over and over again in every scenarios and topics. I think it is time to change it.

Since i can't find any holiday job, i have the free time to do my own cooking. It has been some time since i made anything decent. Most of the time were just those easy to cook types.

Cooking is actually very simple. Just know what you want to eat, the flavours you would like to include and prepare them. I have to admit having someone to make dinner together with you can be much more fun and entertaining. But sometimes too many people preparing can be rather messy, especially when my kitchen is rather narrow.

My dish is a simple sweet, sour, spicy and a bit salty beef stir fry with carrots and mushrooms. Yes 4 flavours in this dish beginning with the letter 'S'.
Sweet - tomato
Sour & Spicy - Tom Yam
Salty - Salt lah!
Thats all i thought of and i went straight to cooking it.

Some people choose to do it academically by having the trouble of watching youtube before actually cooking which i think is really unnecessary for a simple dish unless you want your 1-man portion dinner to have complicated aromatic fragrance with more uncommon incredients.

Some photos of the dish while preparing it. I didn't bothered to present the final result on a premium crafted plate with a color that contrast with the food complemently, so it may not look good with a simple 2 mega pixel picture without auto focus.

Alright besides the food, my next topic is the way girls are obssessed over the discussion of male movie stars has seemed to be increasing over gossips of friends and the latest serials and fashions. Favourites at recent are Robert Pattinson(after Twilight), Zac Efron(after 17 Again) and now Sam Worthington(Terminator Salvation).

I recalled back to an article i read about reading too much fashion magazine is unhealthy as it lowers an individual's self-esteem when he/she compares themselves over the model's figure. It explained that teenagers became anorexic because they want to have the perfect figure of the models they saw in the magazines. However it also explained that pictures in these magazine have always undergone 'Electronic Cosmetic Surgery'.

If this is so, then would the discussion of their hot and illusive characters the male movies stars portrays affects their esteem towards their male partners?

Anyway i am being unfair here standing up for men. Same goes to guys who criticize the mild imperfection of female figure and those who think they are too good looking for anyone.

These all come down to the fact that this damn world is so realistic. When you were young, you try to choose the best of material and looks. Then when as you got old and ran out of choices, you stuck with somebody who isn't your ideal.
Anyway this is what it is and i can't see where i am heading. So with this i shall end my random thought awkwardly leaving you feeling that you have wasted your past 5 minutes reading the 2nd half of this post. My apologies.

It's been 2 weeks since i started hunting for a job. It hasn't been easy at all. Everyday there were just a couple of postings matching my criteria. Although i had been actively sending in resumes, the replies were bleak. One of the recruit agency called several times at the beginning, telling me they would forward my resume to this and that company, had now gone quiet. Honestly i too had realised the number of temp jobs had dropped drastically since the previous holiday where i could have more than a handful to select from.

Usually 'holidays' or 'term break' is just a period where i can try to earn some spare pocket money. This term break however is beginning to really feel like a true holiday; the period of time where you simply do anything to your delight. Since there are really a shortage of job, i think i shall take it like a man and enjoy this genuine holiday.

I was at Jurong Point earlier to meet up an old friend to see how he has been doing after he was attacked by a family member of an unhappy worker last month. It seems that crime rates had increased in Singapore. While i was waiting for him in Macdonalds, i saw some police questioning a lady who undoubtedly should be the victim of a complication.




And judging from my friend's issue and that lady, the police were pretty much no help at all. For my friend's case they just try to calm both sides down and shake hands to call off the dispute. My friend's arm required to be supported and bandaged for 3 months. Poor fellow.

Recently i realized that my Vista cd is still with Azri after donkey years. Despite so many meet ups, he didn't return me. It seemed like it is my responsibility to ask him to get it back. Now when i msn or text him to ask about it, he played missing. The next time he tries to borrow anything will be a definite 'no' if not i just say i don't have it or something. Why make life difficult for myself to lend and end up as if i am giving it away instead right.
