Oh My Tian (God)!!!

January 31st, 2007 by Jonathan

I can’t believe it. 2 days! Just 2 days. Not 2 months, not 2 weeks, not 2 days!! Ok, it’s 2 days, but god knows when you’re reading this entry it’s least than 2 days already! Whatever it is, I’m pretty psyched for the end of my attachment. On the other hand, I’ll be sad to leave all my colleagues, friends for the past 5 months.

I feel blessed to be posted to a company that is so closely knitted. Except for the stupid housekeeping department. I love the aunties there though, they’re really nice, and of course to the nice chamber maids also. I only hate evil slit eye queen, bull dog and ice queen. Other than these stupid dimwits, my attachment was a blast!

I’m going to stop ranting like a bimbo already.

2 days!! Just 2 days!!

The Decision

January 29th, 2007 by Jonathan

Before I begin anything I would like to express my warmest gratitude to all who have supported me to court the ‘girl of my dreams’.

I regret to announce that maybe certains weren’t meant to be. Yes, I concede defeat. It was a battle of emotions and at the end of the day she was the one who couldn’t decide for herself what she wanted in life. No she’s not evil, Wahaha, she’s just sandwiched between two guys and their incremental greed for her loving. In a way or another the things she is doing, I feel, is pretty unfair to me. Don’t wish to elaborate on that.

I think I’ve reached a point where I feel nonchalant about everything that’s going on, I’m not trying to show my weakness. I’d rather look at it from the point of view of being strong enough to let go. I’m tired Azaleas, really I am. If your feelings for me is mutual, you would have controlled yourself when you are out with Edwin. I’m sorry, I’m not the type of person who shares. And I am pretty sure your boyfriend-to-be is not willing to share either. It’s unfair, just plain unfair.

I’m sorry, I don’t love you no more. People I care about don’t treat me like thrash.

On a positive note, my attachment is ending soon. And boy do I have big plans in the upcoming months. Yes, really big plans for the blog and of course for my life. So stay tune!

Another MRT Accident?

January 23rd, 2007 by Jonathan

SINGAPORE (Bondevia) - It’s 1615 hrs at City Hall MRT Station. There I was innocently waiting for a train when an announcement was broadcasted throughout the station informing us to expect crowds because of a delay in another station.

The announcement wasn’t really significant to me, I just wanted to get my ass back home. I was plagued by high fever, and my body is seriously aching. I needed my panadols you see, I was on the verge of jumping on to the tracks because I couldn’t take the feeling of being sick. But too bad for me the station was enclosed. Ok fine, that freaking lame, why would I kill myself right?

So I came home and took my usual dose of panadol (it’s not an addiction) before going about doing my daily routines. EDMW forum on hardwarezone.com.sg was talking about another MRT accident that happened today! Then it struck me, could this be real? Is this why the trains were delayed?

Well according to the forum, the person is still alive!! So much for calling this an ‘easy death’.

If what I’ve typed is true, there really was an accident at Eunos MRT (my apologies for mentioning the place only now), then it would probably make future suicidal train jumpers think twice about jumping in front of a train.

It’s a really easy way out if you jump in and you die immediately. But it’s a different story if you survive. If you’re lucky you may come back in one piece and only suffer minor injuries (highly impossible, but definitely life changing), but if you’re not so lucky you might end up being a vegetable for the rest of your life, bedridden, a burden to your family, relatives and friends.

So think about it Mr Suicide. If you wanna kill yourself you better think of what will happen if you ended up surviving the ordeal. And whether you’re dead or not, it is an offence to commit suicide let alone the fact that you are being selfish to the people who actually care about you.

Sleeping in Singapore’s MRT

January 22nd, 2007 by Jonathan

This picture was on The Sunday Times 21 Jan, 2006, sent in via STOMP. So it appeared on hardwarezone.com.sg’s forum today.

One netizen brought up a point which I found rather intriguing, “Why pay the same price to take a MRT with a person who gets to sit and you have to stand?” Something like that, but not exactly the same way he phrased his argument. Initially I thought his point was rather logical, then again it sounded pretty childish.

I think we should think of it in this way. All of us pay fee to travel on the MRT, those who get a chance to sit is just like getting a discount. In this case it would not be paying lesser, but receiving the benefit of resting his legs. The only way to solve that forum writer’s argument at the end of the day, I feel, is to remove all the chairs on the train and let everyone stand. But that’s not possible either. What about the handicapped? What about the senior citizens? What about the sick? There’s probably no solution to solve this ‘I am standing, you’re sitting, why should I pay the same’ argument. Just blame it on your luck if you don’t get a seat onthe train.

But of course if you use this argument on the picture above, then I would say there is it worthy to debate about.

Let us analyse the picture:

You occupied 2 seats. Someone else could have a place to sit.
Both your legs are up against the wall of the cabin. Someone sleeping upright on the train (in the future)might lean his/her head there.
You get into a position that may possible traumatise an innocent child, not only that, everybody would feel that your position is very stomach-churning.
Being a concern citizen, I feel that IF you are a heavy sleeper, you might get robbed in broad day-ling without even realising it.
Again your awkward sleeping position would probably put you in a disadvantage if some sick psycho pervert, REALLY sick psycho pervert decides to take advantage of you. You’d probably find difficulty getting up to give chase.
Your sleeping position really makes me sick

Well you could have your reason for sleeping on the train and taking 2 seats. You might have not be feeling well and you really needed to lie down. That is why point number 4 and 5 would change my stance into a concerned citizen point of view.

There maybe more than one argument to this picture, but I feel in this society if anyone were to see you like this they would probably criticise you. But it might be different if you are pretty and slim. No discrimination here, what have you got to say?

A day at work

January 12th, 2007 by Jonathan

Let me give you an insight to how my work life is like at the Grand Plaza Park Hotel City Hall.

The Park Privileged Club
Formerly known as Orchid Club

That’s me and Azaleas doing the preparations for a check-in. The Park Privileged Club (can be a pain to pronounce on the phone, especially when you talk too fast) is an executive level for VIPs only where they get very exclusive service. How exclusive? I’ll allow your imaginations to run wild! The lady seated is Ms Maybelline Teo. She’s the Front Office Manager, you can say that she makes the big decisions around the hotel, since Front Office is the main department in the Hotel.

I like this girl. Alot. But I’m too cowardly to do anything at all. Now she’s probably moving on with another guy. What else can I do but to be supportive?

People here can testify that I’m a really fast learner. Haha.

The Operator Room

The place where staff come to rest, chill and chit chat. Also a place to die of stress, especially every Monday and Tuesday when all the calls from the weekends come in.

Va-Va-Voom is none other than Jasmine Kaur. Jovial and bubbly, this girl is CRAZY!! Haha. Totally enjoy her company!

Tracy is always finding an opportunity to touch me! Haha! Congratulations in advance for your wedding girl!

The Laundry/Linen Room

The ultimate stress free paradise.

Mr Sazali insisted on taking a photo with me beside the washing machine. I have no idea why? Maybe to remember him as ‘The Laundry Man’.

My God mothers of the hotel. Seriously, I’m so pampered in the linen room. Especially Aunty Mei Ling (the one on the extreme right). She’s owns man!

Lastly, the most ultimate team in the whole world. Team Jon!
