monotonous week.
a colleague got into a minor accident and was given 6 days MC,
means ah KiaT have to work super long hours this week,
and the off that he got this wednesday had to be cancelled.
anw,
today ah KiaT chatted with a angmo customer,
conversing in ah KiaT's 1st language.
English.
or rather
Perfect English.
hahaha.
at least the angmo understand okie.
but mistakes do occur now and then.
Customer: "okie i need a gas cooker and a gas fryer to fry my chicken."
ah KiaT: "sure, i'll arrange an appointment and also fix the gas dryer for you to dry your chicken..."
okie,
and the customer and ah KiaT burst into laughter, so abruptly after a few seconds of coldness silence.
haha
how can ah KiaT confuse fryer and dryer.
tongue tight then.
and ah KiaT can imagine the working routine in future.
He used to gym swim alot in a week for the past months.
and suddenly,
when work starts,
its hard to maintain that kinda of intensity.
its now 1 or 2 times per week.
yayayaya
its 价靠.
价靠 = 借口 [in hokkien man]
yes,
but the 安哥 Kiat seem to get tired easily.
不知到为了什么,
会哪么这样的累...
安哥 must drink more kopi,
and read lesser 联合晚报 at night.
last sunday was the 1st time ah KiaT met up with the Sports People.
as he cant make it during the 1st MGM...
安哥就是老了.
He took around 2 months to fully know last year freshies.
and ah KiaT is proud to say,
during that few hours,
he get to know most of them, about 75% so to speak.
and even more prouder to say that,
after looking at those facebook photos taken on that day,
ah KiaT need to think and recall those 75% of them NOW!!!
why is his memory so bad?!?!
dun ask him to play Nokia's memory game.
it's gonna kill him,
even those 5 X 5 square only.
haha.
and really,
Simpang Bedok is a nice place for supper.!
Cooling, relaxing, serene.
ah KiaT loves that kind of relaxation,
sitting under those big trees,
seeing cars buzz by,
enjoy a cup of teh halia.
and if not of that 60KM to and fro,
amounting up to around $7-$8 of petrol,
ah KiaT would have been a regular there.
anw, seldom supper now le.
No time and wanna rest. only went there that time after the SPorts BBQ.
时辰不早了
明早还要开活...
要赚些银两来过活.
日子比较好过.
咋们奥林匹克运动会已经落幕了,
应该苦力干活.
明天会更好.
唱出你的热情伸出你的双手
让我拥抱着你的梦
让我拥有你真心的面孔
让我们的笑容充满着青春的骄傲
为明天献出虔诚的祈祷

Saturday, August 23, 2008
the lucky day.
ah KiaT still remembered the day when the car battery died on him.
in the end, he had to sum-mong the car.
dun worry,
history dun happen twice.
but come yesterday,
another fantastic thing happened.
this time round,
the tyre was punctured.
YES, big time.
no wonder the driving seems uneasy,
steering wheel seems hard.
ah KiaT was at Bras Basah, waiting for seeks.
and before he could get off his car to check,
helpful Singaporeans knocked on ah KiaT's door to notify him.
Help was rendered but ah KiaT declined as the news of a punctured tyre is still digesting in his brain.
Soon after, seeks came and the 2 of them began changing the tyre.
Fortunately,
ah KiaT's dad did have a tutorial lesson with him before,
and hence its basically like recalling what he had said.
its not easy to change a tyre,
many safety points to note,
where to jack the car,
always engage the 1st gear,
wheel face where,
how to screw the nut,
etc.
and soon,
another fellow Singaporean came and asked, do u need help.
ah KiaT thought, well why not, an experienced one can advise him too.
哪里知道 this malay guy also sama sama,
1st time change tyre, trying to learn...
hahaha
but he was a great help,
and not long later, the 2 of them chatted and did the job.
its pretty nice to see people lending a help,
especially so when u didnt request for it.
while some others will drive past and stare at this guy,
按舍 put all the boot barang barang on the ground like a flea market.
he even tell ah KiaT off, to lock the door,
as his friends encountered situations whereby people take advantage of this situation, and try to steal valuables in the car.
another set of hands, a great help,
and not long later, the job was done.
and now, dunno why, ah KiaT pays more attention to noises and feeling when driving. and sometimes to a certain extend of paranoid when he thinks there's something wrong.
心里做用...
anw,
the tyre cant be fixed, as the nail is damn long la.
have to change a new one.
luckily the rim wasnt spoiled..
indeed,
驾驶的确是很多学问....
phew.
well, the moral of this story shows Singaporeans are still helpful.
No doubt there are black sheep everywhere.
just like today, ah KiaT brought a customer over to see a power supply CRO,
and guessed wad she said when ah KiaT mentioned the case,
she replied,
"Did u take a number anot?"
oh my 天...
law by law meh,
cannot use ur butt to think meh.
and some lagi more better,
approached some CRO to follow up a case handled by her colleague,
and she just pushed me back and say,
"then u ask her back...."
okie enough of grievances but actually ah KiaT liked to speak to people.
He is lucky he got the chance to work back in the same company,
talked to some really high ranking bosses that he worked with previously,
sharing job experiences with them.
its really nice to talk to people.
and today this customer complained about installation of pipe line at her home, $100 too expensive. and if she moved, can she take the pipe out or refund the money because she dun want to benefit the next owner.
and the best thing is,
when ah Kiat explained $100 is well worth it, when u stay at ur flat for 10+++ years,
she replied,
i already change house 5 times in a year!!!
hahaha
she ah long san meh, need to shift everytime...
its 0320 in the morning,
and haha, dunno why ah KiaT is able to blog so much.
there's still work tomorrow!!!!
disrupting the swim session that ah KiaT wanted to have in the morning....
okie la,
its late, going wake up in about 两个时辰.
but ah KiaT is still playing fantasy premier league.
haha, invite me to ur league.
and hor,
one of my colleague is surprised to find 马票 paper in my organiser.
hahaha.
讲到马票.
5189,
rear wheel punctured
so,
5181?
coz 9 looks like a wheel,
punctured, so look like 1.
OKIE!!!
5181

what a
a busy 1 week.
ah KiaT started work, part-time job.
back to the job where he first started, doing customer service,
facing customer, promoting item by item.
starting work has its negative points too.
ah KiaT reduced his regular gym and swim sessions because of this..
and worst, have to miss to 1st SRC MGM....
suddenly feel that there's hell lots of things that ah KiaT didnt do personally...
managed to catch a trip down Yishun gym last week,
and there's this man, who had 1 leg.
and ah KiaT personally admire his positive attitude, his eagerness in leading a healthy lifestyle.
he tried machines to machines,
doing some conditioning and even teaching some secondary schoolkids how to use them.
anw, job is pretty fun.
getting to see those old colleagues, and knowing alot of them had already left that place.
so with most of the day time spent at work,
night time is mostly spent at home catching the summer Olympic.
and wow,
from young, apart from football,
ah KiaT loved to catch swimming, athletics and volleyball.
100metre, 9.69secs and that's not even maximum effort,
how to run man?
as well as the 8 gold medal achieved..
haha.
and come today,
ah Kiat just went for soccer with his secondary school friends.
and the last time we played was like 2 months ago.
haha.
We have to get this going on,
else we will retire at a age of 25 man.
and dunno why,
my computer keep playing this song.
the last post that one.
ah KiaT been finding this for a real long time.
原来我妈就有这首歌...
its 江蕙's song---家后.
actually 江蕙 really have alot of nice songs,
but they are 闽南语歌...
emo emo emo
haha.
anw,
later there's our republic table tennis final match.
no doubt there's alot of people may be saying,
wa, its another China Vs China.
True, their place of birth may be there,
but then again.
haha this foreign scheme system, its subjective la.
depending on which side of the coin u belong to,
there are many arguments to this.
No matter what, they represent our nation,
and lets hope...
see,
the straits times report this japanese guy doing NS in Singapore.
Portugal have Brazilian born Deco and Pepe playing for them.
Germany have foreign players too.
even Zidane is not even born in France.
but ah KiaT remembered the funniest thing is,
dunno at which chess competition,
Qatar has a Chessmaster,
whose name is Al-something something
and he is 中国人.
okie thats all today,
will try to come blog soon.
well,
blogging is no longer a daily chore for ah KiaT
we all know ah KiaT can 屁骨痒,
blog many entries a day, and sometimes non for weeks.
okie bye folks
btw,
anyone play fantasy premier league?
haha invite me to ur league.!!
:):):)
i want to go hunter valley

.老歌好听.
原来这是一首老歌,
还是老歌好听.......
:):):)
有一日咱若老找无人甲咱友孝
我会陪你坐惦椅寮
听你讲少年的时阵你有外摮
吃好吃丑无计较怨天怨地嘛袂晓
你的手我会甲你牵条条
因为我是你的家后
阮将青春嫁置恁兜
阮对少年跟你跟甲老
人情世事已经看透透
有啥人比你卡重要
阮的一生献乎恁兜
才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
等待返去的时阵若到
我会让你先走
因为我会呒甘
放你为我目屎流
有一日咱若老有媳妇子儿友孝
你若无聊拿咱的相片
看卡早结婚的时阵你外缘投
穿好穿丑无计较怪东怪西嘛袂晓
你的心我会永远记条条
因为我是你的家后
阮将青春嫁置恁兜
阮对少年就跟你跟甲老
人情世事嘛已经看透透
有啥人比你卡重要
阮的一生献乎恁兜
才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
等待返去的时阵若到
你著让我先走
因为我会呒甘
看你为我目屎流
还是老歌好听.......

weekend
weekends are fun
and time for everyone to let their hair down, including those bald one, to have fun and catch up with friends.
weekends are fun, though it will be more fun if ah KiaT is at Singfest.
so this weekend,
ah KiaT spent his time reading [yes], surfing net, washing car, watching dvd, eating...
wanted to ask my threesome secondary schoolmates out for supper, but realise have to kiv as ah KiaT had job training on friday night.

ah KiaT been checking the Singapore Biathlon and Osim Triathlon site recently.
wow, seriously.
wanted to know how the whole process goes about,
especially those transition period.
the swim in all these category is 1.5Km, meaning a 30laps on the pool.
There's even swimming trial for this, as participants must clock under 50minutes for this on event day.
haha.
should'nt be a problem, but ah KiaT gonna practise more in freestyle.
can't possibly swim breast stroke throughout, tiring on legs.
YES, ah KiaT serious.
Saving up the money for next year Singapore Biathlon.

one of my PTI friend went for Langkawi Tri this year, and that's really a tough one...
dunno if ah KiaT will ever participate in one actually.
Okie,

anw,
been quite troubled these few days.
well, hoping to find a solution fast.
