A (not so) Long December

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
a-not-so-long-december

Would there be any reason to begin a headache like no other ? By the grace of all the deities, Serge should not be getting a fuckking headache and yet he is. Reasons ? Oh besides the obvious 16 Days to Comic Fiesta, he was smacked all of a sudden to do a somewhat secret project. A project which involves CF, though not many knew about it.

Brushing that aside, he is then hit by a need to edit some organization’s website urgently. However the person who wanted Serge to do it, has disappeared or should we say by the time Serge is able and free, that other person is not. Life is getting creepy this month and he has yet to buy it.

For the cubicle of which it is like the Artic, one of the colleague according to what the wind has spoken, will be leaving to another department. When that happens, Serge would probably be somewhat in charged. Though he must beg and plead and beg and sell his ass and make damn fuckking sure that they hire someone. For a duo is not a trio and a trio is needed here.

Before leaving for home away from the office, he had some quick lunch with his 9 floor friends who are into the things that Serge is into. There is a figurine collecting who is quite close to a maniac, one who WOW during his free time and a lady who is into the questionable anime of which it is not hentai related.

Tomorrow the lady will be bringing her hdd and Serge will see her collection. It’s good to be famous.

Anterograde Amnesia

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Due to slow upload, Serge is not able to write his EF -Tale of Memories- final episode review. But what he can say is this, that anime which lasted only for 12 episodes and is the precursor to EF -Tale of Melodies- is made of such awesome win that, Serge will not forget how each of the characters were so close-to-real life. The two best characters in the series was Renji and Chihiro. Tomorrow or so, a review of the final episode will be made and also thoughts of Serge about it.

In life, what can we say. Work is just the usual tally of answer the phone, we know what you want and we know how you want it done. Now, just shut the fuck up and listen to us like good children and follow our instructions. Do that and by the grace given to Serge by Judas Priest, what you have called us for will be given to you. Do not follow and may the 13 levels of Hellacious Support be upon your ass like the flies of Timbuktu.

Though in most cases, these people suffer from antenograde amnesia. They amazingly forget how it was done in less than 5 minutes. Though there are some who calls back after a week when their other side fucks up, which Serge sympathizes and instead of repeating the methods to nirvana; they just ask one question and that’s it. They remembered.

Oh lo and behold the life of a Contact Centre specialist.

Viewing the Man in the Mirror

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
viewing-the-man-in-the-mirror

Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don’t like conflict. Because you’re so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don’t judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren’t necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people’s eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don’t focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It’s time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

–Quiz

Hmm, let’s just say Serge does not know if this is truly him or not. Though it maybe true, however there is a slight chance that he is denying all the facts from what has been stated for everyone knows that the truth hurts.

Oh did you notice a change ? It’s quite obvious for those who visits Serge often. Life for Serge so far has been going well, Avenue Q is just awesome of which he wants all of you to head down to Singapore and watch it. Though the cast is from the Phillipines, IT IS THAT GOOD.

And today he was at work and he nearly froze all his limbs off. He forgot to bring the warmer jacket, thus his exposed appendages was at a level one hypothermia. A lot of internal position is opening up in the company, there are those which seems interesting. However, the word “shift hours” does not bode well with Serge.

He hopes that the project that he is in will continue. Recession is hitting all of us and the economy is bad. DHL laid off 9500 workers and DBS Singapore has cut 900 jobs. With this happening, Serge tends to wonder how safe a secure his job really is ?

Based on that fact, he better stop procrastinating and do something about it.

Kernel Sanders and Recruitment

Friday, October 17th, 2008
kernel-sanders-and-recruitment

UltraSoul-VII is currently in the hospital. It could be the whole mobo dead, now that is something Serge does not want to hear.

In the office, he spoke to one of the Operations Manager, the project which Serge is working on is loved by the client and even with the economic crisis looming ahead; it is safe to say that Serge is in stable grounds.

Also, the company is looking for people for one of their projects which Serge is recruiting for. The pay is RM2010, if anyone of you are interested in it, kindly leave a comment.

Elsewhere, Serge is happy. For those who knows about his case between former company and him…the former company is settling it and will not bring it to court. Settlement is a nice figure.

Lunch+Dinner was KFC and a bowl of leftover rice. The rice was mixed with coleslaw and mash potato and tomato sauce. Less tomato sauce and more mash potato, may in fact make that rice really good. Now Serge hopes that there is no diarrhea after this.

Electrical Storms of Aquarion

electrical-storms-of-aquarion

Two days, just two bloody days…maybe less; UltraSoul-VII was working like a charm. Installed a new network card and it works. But today, TODAY! Of all the buttcap and asshattery one can be given has been given…the PSU died. It finally died, somehow Serge believes that the previous two days was the cache amount of electrical charged left in the capacitor.

WHY!!? On a sad note, he fears that the 320gb hdd external is out of order. Not sure, the Sarotech cannot switch on… and he has no more pararell to test. A visit to the doctor is needed that is for sure. Main thing to solve is UltraSoul-VII and her PSU. Serge will probably buy an ASDL2+ Wireless Router modem, flipping cat5 cables back and forth is such a hassle.

On a work related note, Serge’s current department does have a tri-monthly performance bonus system. According to calculations he should be getting a rather nice chunk of loot for this month. This will be for PSU, the wireless system as well as Hatsune Miku figma figurine.

Serge’s sister is in Europe and will be back in Singapore next month. Got free bus tickets to go down and trying to convince the sister to give him bus tickets for his pre-planned Christmas Singapore trip. Gareth, his Su Yen, Serge and probably someone else. It’s only October and yes, we are planning that far ahead as getting a bus during that period is a real hassle.

That’s today’s update.
