Back to work
It's another monday blue, but I'm wearing pink. A slow start monday to clear the emails accumulated from Wednesday and catching up with colleagues and friends over YM.
I notice the posting has slowe down.. PEOPLE! LOG THE BLOG! Or maybe I'm just too free. Haha.
How did ur wkend go? I went to KL/Genting. It was pretty cold up at Genting and crowded too. It's my first time there. The trip up was pretty interesting as we took the wrong turn and end up driving the deserted 'scenic' route, away from the highway and toll. Of cos, played at the casino and won RM75 at the "Money Wheel" (the wheel of fortune kinda thing). If it wasn't time to go, I would have continue to try to win the RM200 I had won before that. Greed!! U can never beat the odds eh?

Bond for your life
I'm on a training attachment with Sybase for almost 5-6mths now and it ends coming Aug. The contract states that after this 12mths training, Sybase may want to keep me. Sybase is also bonded to EDB in a way so they won't just take advantage of cheap labour. Of cos there's circumstances when the company retrench, re-structure, move out of Singapore, etc etc. In the last staff meeting, the folks up there mentioned that they are freezing headcount worldwide except China n India. They state an example that they do not have intention to keep the interns in US when they can get 2 snr engineers in China/India with that price. Hence I am not holding high hopes that they'll keep us all. (There's 9 of us). After serving this 12mths training, I'll have to serve 2 yrs bond (for EDB) in whatever job that I might land myself in.
It now sound like a sucky deal. Just for the sake of the name ("SYBASE") I sold my life for 3 yrs. Whether or not Sybase wants me, is both good and bad. Afterall, in whatever situation that you are in, it can be viewed as good or bad. It all depends on ur perspective.

Monday blues?
I hate Mondays.. but today is different cos it's a holiday week! Today can be Thurs, and Wed will be Sat where you go home for dinner with family! That's something to look forward to. I won't allow anyone to piss me off (which already happened). No one can spoil my holiday week!
So what's in the itinery for you this long weekend? My whole family (the Lims + 1 son-in-law + 1 boyfriend/future son in law + 2 grandkids = 10) are driving up to KL/Genting for the long weekend! Will I happen to catch anyone of you at the 2nd link? ;)

Haha. I'm mean. But people attach liao loh, and I too lazy to try to keep in contact or "detach" him.. so I'm still enjoying my singlehood.. next wk KL, then Bali, Penang, Tioman, Europe one day? =*o*=
How time flies, I've left Sydney for 1 year, and cita for 3 yrs and I'm turning 26! *gosh*
