World Lamest Date Rejection Excuse

"I want to clear my table tomorrow. I've postpone it since last Sunday."

It is so lame till it is almost insulting.
Dear bf out there, even it is very true that you must use the entire day to clear your table (or you will die or suffer from table untidiness) , please please please find a better reason than this.

regards,
disappointed + confused gf

Accident

23rd January 2009, around 3.57pm, around the IKEA junction turning out to E11, I had an accident. The lorry come too close to my lane (left lane) and smash the right side mirror. Mom demand to see the lorry driver's IC and driving license but he refused to co-operate. The lorry plate number is WFP 7623

He challenges us to report to police and yet he sped off quickly when I want to capture his plate number.

Stupid ignorant lorry driver. May you rot in hell.

Animal Stories

Cat
Just after a few weeks when I managed to drive alone. An unexpected incident happened. The car started meowing at me. At first, I thought it came from the car radio, so I took no notice of it. Then the meowing started to be more persistent. I quickly turned off the radio and listen closely.

Meow~

Oh no, there was a car in the car. But where? I was driving in the middle of a busy road, I panicky searching for a spot to park and search for the cat. I stopped at the petrol station and check the car. I search the wheels, at the back seat, the car boot. No cat in sight, and no meows. So, I think that I was imagining stuff, proceed driving to office.

Meow~

Arrggghh! What is it? A ghost cat? I kept telling myself to concentrate in driving. Once in the company car park. I jumped out of the car and start finding the cat. I couldn't find it. So, I called dad for help. "Did you check the car bonnet?", he asked. And there I found the kitten who hitched a ride.

The poor kitten is lucky to be able to survive. Its left eyes looks injured, but it was still well enough to escape from my frantic grasp to get it out of the car engine. Finally, it treated me like a monster attacking from the top (car engine), it hide further down deep into the engine and finally it landed on the ground.

I came to the office late by half an hour. And I couldn't find the kitten again after that.


Lizard
Just now I found a lizard soaking itself in a pail of water. It looked like enjoying itself (it really look like soaking in hot tub or 'onsen'). I took a scoop to poke it to check whether it is alive or not. It moved away from the towels which kept its head above water. Then I saw a lizard drowning scene. I concluded that lizard can't swim after all and scoop it up, and drain the water and the lizard to the basin. The lizard is alive and will continue its duty to eat up mosquitoes in house.


Rat
When I knew the office rats chews off my one week worth of breakfast and leave its dropping behind, I never felt sorry for any rat which get caught in the mouse trap. The office mouse trap had been doing its job of catching the evil rats, young or old, right after the incident. My office mate even show me a few tricks of setting up the mouse trap. Hehehe, rats beware!


Monkey
After lunch break, I found a monkey digging up human trash. "Oh, look monkey", I said. "Hey, I'm not monkey", my fellow office mate barked back. I don't mean you duh, is the real monkey. I'm thinking that did he indirectly admit he is the monkey. Anyway, the monkey is frightened by our presence and sent out unmistakable sound like 'who are you? get away, I don't like stranger. Come any closer then I'll bite!'. Office mate doesn't seem to care, and try to take a picture of a monkey. I warned him that if he want to treasure his new phone, please leave the monkey alone. He quickly keep the phone away from the monkey and we left the monkey alone.

Ramblings

After the being stuck on the same project for so long and yet achieve so little, I'm getting depress or easily get irritated or sad. Like today I found out that I'm not doing a good job of handing over my current maintenance project to my new office mate. I can't remember the system well and kept fumbling the notes just to answer his question. Plus, my fellow office mate seems to be a little bit furious when I told him that he will sooner or later take over the whole system (now I showing only 1/3 of it). I requested a black and white statement from my boss, at least to prove that I wasn't imagining that my boss told me to handover the system.

Being in the office with people from different origins is kind of exciting at first. Then is started to be confusing. Till now, I don't know how to differentiate what is a joke and what is not. Ended up being labeled as a person who could not take a joke or two. I was sad and irritated. So is communication problem and confidence level dropping rock bottom problem.

But, I will let it be without a fight. Office mates who nicknamed me 'pig', I'll call them 'monkey'. Those who joke on everything under the sun, I told them off when they joke on things that in my standard they shouldn't joke about. Being in nearly 80% all males department, I do wish that my boss could hire some ladies (I think the guys have the same wish as well).

There's some interesting moments. I like to hear stories. Simple stories about their hometown, studies and lifestyle are always interesting. Sometime after hearing the stories, I think my hometown isn't that bad after all. Sometime, I think my hometown could improve further.

Another interesting thing is my office mate like to eat. Compare to my previous company, my ex-office mate don't really like to eat that much. I need to re-stock my food stuff more frequently now. It is a good thing, I have plenty of food stuff need to clear ASAP. There is a catch, the office mice like food too. They happily eat my one week worth of breakfast (5 packs of Milo packets). Extra protection need: thick plastic container or biscuits tin. Aluminium is not good enough.

Pretty Strange Forest

How to write your name in Chinese?

It has been a long time, I have not reply this question. I gladly reply.
Then my officemate tell me my chinese name has symbolic meaning in Japanese.

I'm curious. As he type out the meaning in English, I was shocked, then started to laugh helplessly.
The translation is 'forest pretty strange'.

Fine, no wonder my project partner keeps on emphazing that I'm strange.

Routine

Sometimes I feel that I'm trapped in a routine:
