ADELE - ROLLING IN THE DEEP
You don't know what powerful lungs are until you hear Adele.

New HP Laptop
I am saying an official bye to my Dell desk top after something like 7 to 9 years (how long exactly i can't remember).
Darby brought his royal presence to my HDB residence to help me set up the laptop and install the necessary softwares. I have to count on him where it comes to IT matters just like he has to count on me to add numbers in the snap of fingers.
In between us, we took and clocked an untimed 2 hours to complete the task. That shows how savvy he is with IT hard and software.
Number adding is easier, and faster.

They are Satan in disguise.
I was shocked to read a piece of social news from Yahoo today about Nightingale Home in Bradell, Spore.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/elderly-woman-mistreated-nursing-home-174803277.html
From Youtube, the abusers looked like they are Mainland, China workers. They are fairer and like to sport silly pony tails due to their awful fashion sense. The younger nurse threw the old lady like a sand bag, with a disgusting hand gesture. Every human beings will feel his heart is aching to see the old lady being abused.
For goodness sake, fire them to teach them a lesson. In South East Asia, we believe in Karma, we fear God, we believe in being kind to others. Not the same for these Post Cultural Revolution batch, they fear nothing and believe in money only.
Spore needs foreign workers, but as a result it has also downgraded its image as a graceful society, by bringing in lots of foreign workers who cannot fit in. it is about the choice the country made, grow and rot at the same time.

Lazy
I took a day off today and will return to office to do final handover on Friday as my (soon to be) EX company is way too ineffecient and has been dragging the handover till my last day.
I will say this is one of the worst work experience in my career path besides my first company that shut down, this is the first time i am working for a SME run by stingy Singaporean Chinese family members, while they do not have management skills/ proper industrial exposure, they are proud of themselves despite their lack of knowledge. I have to knock my head for trying to be loyal when i was approached by a few companies last year for better offers, lesson learnt.
Also from this company i have learnt what is the qualities of a poor/ lousy manager,
1. Lack of vision / direction
2. Lack of planning / communication
3. Lack of follow up
4. Lack of knowledge but unwilling to ask / discuss
5. Dictator mode
6. Ill manner to others, verbally abusive.
During the exit interview, i decided not to teach them what they failed to see, cause it is their behaviour that resulted in i have no trust for them, better save my saliva to talk to Porky , therefor i am did not tell them a single thing on why i chose to leave. Anyway it is hypocrite to ask you why, only when you decided to go, if they really care about it they should have taken action when i feedback.
So today i decided to rest at home, did some simple house chores, tidied up, cooked my meals and napped. It is a like a "Pause" between "Play" mode on my Ipod. Life is short, sleep hard.

Monster chef's Kitchen
We had spent our Saturday relaxing for the noon, i took a nap as usual before we went for a swim + sauna.
By the time we finished our exercise regime, Porky was about to face the biggest challenge in his life, Monster Chef s Kitchen , i.e. My kitchen. I bought the ingredients and prepared the foods as a helper for Porky to cook for the third time( yes, it is countable ) after we moved in for a year. It was not a difficult dish , spaghetti with boiled baby carrots and lettuce, pasta sauce from Prego added with minced meat and spices. Besides preparing the ingredients, I needed to guide him step by step on how to cook with effeciency, as he is not very good at cooking. I am not a good teacher either, cause i just cannot shut my mouth when i saw Porky just let the stove does everything after he put the ingredients into the pot, there is not much thinking about how to do it faster better. The Prince de La Bun is a spoilt kid definitely.
Cooking is definitely a skill that involves lotsa planning, what to buy, how to prepare, what to put inside, when to put inside, how to speed it up, how to reduce cleaning work from cooking, there is alot to learn. If you have to cook for the loved ones every now and then, you will pick up some knowhow, as no one likes to spend hours cleaning the whole kitchen after cooking for just a few persons. Now, i can just spend 1 to 2 hours to prepare a simple home cooked meal (2 dishes and 1 soup) for 2 persons. And i just need 1 hour if i am eating alone. The credit all goes to my mum and years of living independently at oversea. I should cook her some of my fav dishes that i invented myself /she taught me, such as Miso Kimchi Soup, Minced Meat Tofu, Brinjal with Bean Paste, but Porky is the one who gets to eat these dishes and put on weight instead.

The Queen and her bed
Porky and i have given Mdm McBing ( Porky s Mum ) a nickname called Her Highness, as Porky is officially Prince de la Bun of Singapore. Mdm McBing has decided to change her Queen size bed, therefore we as her servants will need to hunt high and low for her.
I got the pamphlet one day in my mail box for a mattress promotion at Bt Batok and off we went to see the mattress on Saturday, and that was how Porky hopped from one bed to another in 2 hours to test them in his side sleeper pose in the factory shop.
We finally chosen a Queen size bed which we thought it was good and reasonably priced. After payin we left for home, and here comes the call from the shop, telling us that the price is wrong , Porky is to pay 200 SGD more. I was thinking could they be a con? Anyway , the sales girl promised to reply tomorrow to confirm the final price, and we are to decide if we want it or not. Wasted our precious time.
On Labout Day morning, after breakfast , Porky and i started our first Yoga video lesson after years. It is really difficult as we have lost our flexibility and strength, after stopped practising for 5 years. You can hear two Ah Peks cried in pain, while trying to maintain the posture. But Porky was good spirited, he only gave up after a few sessions.
I have just got through second interview with my ex company on Friday night, and the offer is much better than what i am getting now. i will start to face challeges again.
