My MBA application

I have not checked email for a number of days. I'm very shocked to read this:

"I am pleased to inform you that your recent application for the MBA programme has been successful. An offer together with an invoice will be sent to you in due course.If you have any questions regarding the above, or about the programme in general please don't hesitate to contact us.

Regards,MBA Admissions Team"

The email dated 20/11/08.

I am surprised by their "efficiency". The closing deadline was on 16/11/08. The system must receive the application form by the date, other required documents can be submitted later. I submitted my form on 15/11/08, at 11:58pm. And I had my one referral submitted his form on 18/11/08. And the email dated 20/11/08?!?!?!?!

What shocked me is, there was no verification of my personal details, no interview, no presentation of my certificate and transcript! In the rush to submit the application, I wrote a lousy essay. The essay required 500 to 700 words, I wrote only 451 words, still submit cos it was already 11:58pm. I could not squeeze another 49 words in 2 minutes time. Seriously I did not expect the application to be successful.

Does this lesson tell me, we must go all out to try? We should not give up until the last minute? Cos you never know what you gonna get from the chocolate box.

霉到

"霉到" is a word I recently learnt from a little boy. Yeah, I feel that luck has not been with me these days. Did I step on shit? Or somebody is cursing me at my back? -_-

Job wise, SAI; 人緣, SAI; colleagues, SAI; things that I encounter these days are so SAI!

When the radio broadcasted COE for small car dropped to $2, I interpreted it as "dropped by $2". I NEVER EVER thought it would drop to $2; a difference of $2 sounds more reasonable to me.... until I read the newspaper online, I heard from 10pm news. This news really hammer my heart!!!!!!! Argh.....................

Luck ah, luck ah, please come to me!

Hainan dishes

I'm on business trip in Guangzhou City for the entire week. The first dinner I had here really surprised me. I do not expect to have Hainan dishes here in Guangzhou as I thought this is a place for cantonese. Oh... ya... talking about this, I suddenly recalled my grandma was from Guangzhou!

I don't have much knowledge about Hainan dishes, except for that few classic one. An average person will know what are those. This "Hainan Fen" is something I have no idea about it. Having said it's classic and traditional, so I ordered. This is a stir fry thing which is as good as rice. Ppl either have "fen" or rice. Very yummy!

Apart from the chicken, we also had "char siew" where they just "siew" the pork without putting any color in it. The way they "siew" is unlike the Hong Kong style, there's no burning part and still fragrant.

I did not take any picture of the food.... with the presence of my boss.... I have to behave "guai guai".... hoo....

*scratching head*

Because of certain issues between my company and this "C guy", I am almost talking the same thing to him for one or 2 weeks. No progress at all.

Yesterday, there were little bit progress. At least he gave in little bit and I was quite relieved. Today, he came out with some other ridiculous reasons which is going to create lots of hindrance to my work. Anyone with common sense knows how inefficient it is to work with soft copy, moreover it's more about vouching !!!! He thinks that I have luxury of time to do his work?

And his reason for not bring the original is because he wants to keep the original until he get paid for whatever money he put into the business venture. He somemore claimed that this is the business practice. BUSINESS PRACTICE????? MY FOOT ! I only know, that you want ppl to pay you, you must present the original receipts! I do not oppose him for keeping the original but AT LEAST, at least let me go through the documents first. Even if I want to make a copy, I'll make the copy myself, not him. Who knows whether he modified the original before he makes the copy? I've got to be skeptical right? He even proposed to pay for my trip to Beijing. Isn't it ridiculous to do that fair bit of work when the travelling time is more than sufficient to cover the work?

I'm very sicked to deal with nation C ppl. They can come with all sort of funny things especially when they've come to the crunch. 做人简单一点不行吗????????????????????????

Shifted out

On October 27, I finally shifted out the place I used to stay in the past 2 years....
I'm no longer regretful for my own decision....

Very tough job?

House is under renovation for 3 months full. When the renovation is undergoing on full time basis, I don't understand why it took so long too. Given that it takes long to deliver the work, the workdone is supposed to be satisfactory right? In fact, IT WAS NOT!

One of the unsatisfactory is this stainless steel door. Everything was fine until the door was installed, and the tiles were patched up. Is the door properly installed? The door INCLINED OUTWARDS, slightly run.

The second thing, a very exaggerating mistake! See the floor tiles and one can easily tell what was wrong. The toilet was OUT OF SHAPE by 2 inches!!! Is he blind??

Then is the painting work.

乱

就这样，不由自主地觉得朋友怎么就越来越少
让我想起某友人说过的话, 类似: "朋友间的相聚, 也不知道什么时候是最后一次."
想要找人聊, 想了很久却不知道要找谁
想要找个听得懂我说什么的人, 更难
头脑闪过几个人的名, 却因为厉害关系, 电话始终没有打出去

2008 年头到现在, 有一种活了很久的感觉
活着, 活着, 都不知道为了什么而活
是我还没有适应? 还是它本来就不寻常?
问了无数次 "怎么办"
兜兜转转还是转回了原点

我已经不清楚我要的是什么了
以后的路, 该怎么走?
真的很担心我会把底线越画越粗
粗到有一天不管我做什么烂事都不可能会越界
