牛年

2009 is the year of the Ox. Should I abstain from beef or should I indulge in it? Will abstaining from beef ensure a smooth year ahead? Or that binging on it will subdue the ox from screwing up my life? Damn it! Why am I behaving in such a superstitious manner? I guess age is really catching up on me. I dread to see those white hair sticking out like sore thumbs on my head. They remind me of what I will become in future. A burden to this country. A being that the gahmen wishes will quietly die off ASAP before squandering more of his own CPF.

As of today, there is still no official announcement from the management. Great pretenders. This is beginning to look more like George Orwell's Animal Farm & nope, I am not the pig.

I have a pretty tight schedule in the next 4 months. I'm going JB this coming weekend with the rest of my company. We are spending the weekend in some resort near Senai Airport for teambuilding rubbish. The following Monday I will be flying off to Jakarta to install a new EVO system that has been sitting in the warehouse for about a year. I dare not imagine what state it is in...

After Good Friday in April I will be flying off to Philippines again to start up the systems as the customer there will be shutting down for 1 week. The wonders of our system is that a good bake-out is required whenever the system is shut down for more than 1 day. But of course this is not stated in the brochure before you purchase it. Anyway, right after Philippines I will be heading off to Oberkochen, Germany for a 2 week stint. For starters, I dread spending 10 to 15 hours on a plane. That is like 1 day gone for no reason. Second, I am only comfortable when I am surrounded by asians.

Today I misplaced my cigarette box. My heart is aching still...
