The end of 2007 is approaching, so is the coming ICT on Feb 2008 and Christmas. There are so many and so much things happening this year...

In the Family, Jye Shin is dead, while Ken recognise me as anew. Interesting pivotal point...

Socially, my first formal jobs and interviews, in other words, my first true attempt to exposure myself to the world.. to the outside... to worlds of other people.

People love me me, some hate me, some are attracted to me...

Academically, I had some obvious breakthroughs but still tied down by some bottleneck and my own laziness and procasination...

Financially, finally more independence. However, still lack control...

Anyway, I had wasted 4 days in total. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Nothing beneficial. Looking back, proper usage of the time would be HIGHLY productive. I would at least learn something new and/or completed an assignment.

Friday and the coming Monday (tomorrow) are free days given to us, the OACSU installers. Thanks to Mark,

Yesterday went down to Dad's workshop to check the accounts, pretty bad... also had a meetup with Mary and Mr. Lim. Had a few chat and learnt some property tips and insight.

Hopefully, I can resist the temptation and do the necessary work I am supposed to do.

Mum Bless Me.

Interesting Friday.

The first half is as usual, nothing much, except feeling extremely tired due to late night on the night before.

Whats interesting is the latter half.

You see, there is supposed to have a dinner organised tonight at Yio Chu Gan. All involved in OACSU are promptly invited, except Luther and Daniel.

Although I was informed only yesterday through Yak Peng, Luther and Daniel are special as they belong to the management team - HENCE, they are informed DIRECTLY through email. However, Luther and Daniel are left out of the loop, and Luther got wind of it and caught fire. ~ this is what I learnt as the "power loop" game of email in CIS 108...

I learnt a WHOLE LOT of things in the small conversation with Luther and Uncle Yeo.

Some important ones are the Luther's "loopout", which was resolved with Uncle Yeo calling Sue Yan directly. This ended up with EVERYONE in the loop SMS-ing Luther to invite him for the dinner. Luther interprets it as EVERYONE trying to "CC" such that they had notify him, which is the same interpretation I would habour myself. But Luther also fears that EVERYONE is pointing on him "playing tricks" from the back... haiz... the complexity of this is WAYYY beyond me...

Another thing that pop up is the "disappearing" act of Ah'Ber, Lawrance, Ju Yan, XX-guy and RongHua. They went home when they are half done, at noon, during the supposed working hours... just because they are unhappy... I do NOT know about the rest... bbut RONG HUA... argh... stupidity~ stupid group consensus... WORSE, under Mark's territory. In ANY sense, Rong Hua is supposed to lead them (thats Mark thinking too I believe). Mark report this to Sue Yan.. may GOD bless them... I wonder how things go... especially between Mark and RongHua...
~ Rong Hua defended that he no choice had to follow, else he will be seen as a betrayer... but by making such remark is no difference from a betrayer... at least I finally see 2 sides of RongHua...

Other thing that bugs me is the "SAD" story composed by Yak Peng. No proof to deter or to proof, but with benefit of doubt, lets take her side of story. She told many OACSUs that her eldest brother and mother heck care about the family, she had to take care of dishes, clothes and food of her family, esp her younger brother (who was brain damaged). I am HIGHLY skeptical of all those things, as discovered that she lied many, MANY times without hesitation. She blows things up. For example, on first day, when I asked her how many times of restart needed, she claimed 3, when it only happens once. = Simon came to break the lie by whispering into her ear "Kao, you can say that without blinking your eye". No wonder she was "abandoned" by Bob. I think they too discovered her lies. In the mid of the partnership with her, I discovered that her characteristic is problematic and she tends to "act" when Bob around ~ like helping me with the installation, instead of the usual "asking" (more like ordering) me to backup/clone/dealing with problematic PCs for her.

Another note is Uncle Yeo. He claims to be neutral, but in the conversation, I realised that he is more inclined to Luther. Or so he claims to be, so that he makes Luther believe that he sided with Luther, OR he is the "general good guy". Anyway, Uncle Yeo definately doesnt like Andrew for his tentancy to cancel leave applications, and Bob, for some reason that he doesnt take jokes.

Anyway, when I relate myself to Luther the experience that I had with Andrew (the muscle guy), that he tries to "eat" me. Uncle Yeo defends him that time will let me see that he is a nice guy... haha indeed. Anyway, this also leads to discussion of other OACSU members...

At the end of this day, I had reached a conclusion. There are no nice and "not-so-nice" people, but more on whether A ticks with B. If they click, they will be nice to each other. It is a group consensus thingy, and for the first time, it became so real to me. And for ONE thing that I am VERY sure, being neutral means you are not trusted by BOTH sides and therefore, "enemy" to both.

P.S: oh yea, even Maggie Cupper suggested me to take another year to review my CIS 320 as the scope is TOO general... ARGH!
