Live Web Cams

I'm sorry to disappoint u Gord & Merv, but I'm not going to intro web cams of young girls, but web cams of ANIMALS!!

Killer whales @ Seaworld San Diego: http://www.shamu.com/ Wait for the flash to load, and click on "WATCH THE SHAMU CAM". PS: In case u don't know, killer whales don't eat humans, they eat other smaller whales and sea mammals.

Pandas @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_panda_station.html
Most of the times, they'll be shooting a top view of 1 of the cages/rooms of the pandas, especially the Mama panda with the cub that was just born in Aug; unless u wake up in wee hours in Singapore (cos of time difference), and they might shoot the exhibition area. Anyway u can send an e-card via the web cam! How cool is that?!

Polar bears @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_polar_bear_plunge.html
I've only managed to see the polar bear once

Apes @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_absolutely_apes.html
Reminds me of the horny monkey that we saw in Taiwan's Liu Fu Chun. Eeeewwww... But anyway I've yet seen any apes from this cam.

Elephants @ San Diego Zoo: http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wap/ex_elephants.html
I've only managed to see the zookeeper in the jeep passing by the cam... not the elephants yet...

Anyway, the host/server for these web cams is CamZone, and the site is here: http://www.camzone.com/ There's still somemore web cams that u can see of San Diego, think there's 2 or 3 on beaches (Perhaps in the end Gord & Merv can see girls in bikini.)

I found the panda web cam at 1st actually, via the Windows Vista gadgets cos somebody created a gadget linking to the web cam. My sis was commenting that I'm stalking the pandas cos it was sleeping and I was staring at the web cam. Haha. But anyway along with that, found other web cams hosted by CamZone. Super cool! And yah lah, I luv animals, I watch Animal Plant & Discovery Channel one ok! My dream destination is actually South Africa. Haha

Facebook

ARGH SHIT!

 

Facebook is so fun! It's so much fun than Friendster lah!

 

If u're not on my Facebook, add me via my gmail (u shld know what my gmail is..., my emails userids are quite standard, haha)

Some teasers for London trip

I don't really have a lot of photos with me but oh well, I shall post some that I've for the moment...

Had no jet lag at all when we reached there. =D The cab fare is ridiculous... the journey from the airport to the hotel was around 1/2 hour, and it was 70 pounds, ~SG$210...

Our 1st English breakfast! The 1st one was nice, subsequently, not nice anymore, haha.

A "rubbish eater" on River Thames

The tower bridge behind me (I heard that this is the "London Bridge" our childhood song)

The Windsor Castle (with 2 ppl acting funny)! Only 15 min cab from our hotel.

A building near the castle at night, beautifully lit (not taken on the same day though, we went back the next day)

The hotel that we're in!

Having dinner at the hotel with fellow GEDS from Singapore! (I feel guilty for eating such nice food for 5 days)

and fellow GEDS from other parts of the world taken at the Ha! Ha! Bar near Windsor Castle~

The last picture was taken by a nearly-drunk guy, which explains the blur pic. Haha

The rest shld've more photos than me. I shall make a more complete blog this coming weekend!

Anyway felt so much better aft 1 day's MC, caught a flu virus during my flight back. My worst SIA flight loh... The 1st flight that I take alone and it has to be 12hours...

We left the London airport late cos it was a popular take-off time in Europe. And in the end when we were reaching Singapore, I don't know if it's the weather or if the pilot was like rushing to land, and the plane was quite jerky. Nearly puked. In the end though I didn't puke, I felt miserable the whole evening. Missed my Sammi Cheng's concert (which ironically was the reason why I took the flight back alone instead of with the other Singapore GEDS), gave the tix to Rosie instead. Felt guilty cos I got the tix from my uncle. I think I shall call and explain to em soon...

Ok, tmr will be work day! But shld be a short week for me cos Fri is Tendering's Day-Out! I heard it'll be in Sentosa. Haha

I did It

Yap, I did It

I cried in the office.

Haha.

I think I accumulated too much stress. I was lying on my bed yesterday and suddenly recalled something, "Oh shit, did I change the reference year to 2008?" And I really cursed,"Bloody hell..." So naturally, I didn't have a good night's sleep.

Then I decided to reach office early by taking bus 30 instead of 61.

I kinda teared on the bus cos I was really so stressed up. And when I reach the office and I realised I didn't have any mistakes, I was so damn relieved.

Then A had an enquiring expression on her face and she did the crying action. I walked towards her and talk abit, then I started crying.

So relieved that it was nearly over. I was trying to hide unsuccessfully and suddenly I realised everyone in my dept room knows that I'm crying.

Then OMG, A started crying. Haha.

But I tried to explain that it was tears of relief. It really was wat!

Luckily they took it quite lightly. And they did joke about it, and had a small talk on how each of the estimators deal with the stress (like throwing pens onto the table, grabbing too much hair that he become abit bald etc etc).

1 of my colleagues started saying,"Welcome to tendering dept!" and stuffs like there's more to come. Haha. Then, went for happy hours today with the engineers and they were asking me how's my life in tendering dept. Seriously, I really find it ok! I don't mind working overtime but the most impt thing is to be appreciated for the things u've done, and for this tender, my hard work paid off, cos I was praised that I'm a fast learner. Haha.

And furthermore, dinner & cab fare can be claimed if I work until after 8pm (can call for booking somemore).

And I'm even going Europe to attend engineering training, which is today loh.

I need to think bout wat stuffs to bring. Maybe I should setup a GEDs blog for my training stuffs eh? Hmmm...

Having fun at work

Sometimes I feel lucky to be in a MNC.

We do funny stuffs like this:

See if u can find me in the picture (I'm in black)! Picture taken from 9th floor and put up on our notice board and I took a photo of the picture from the notice board. =P And the time shows how late I am in office...

OT till 11pm today...
OT till 11.30pm yesterday
OT till 9.30pm on Tues
OT till 9.45pm on Monday

Hopefully I didn't make any major mistakes in my estimate...

Anyway the letters is something related to my company, an awareness day for this thing. Those in A were wearing our coveralls (A stands for my company's name)

Oh well... I shall sleep soon. Heh

Bitching session

Ok, since Cai asked what happened in the office last Mon afternoon... I shall bitch now, though I'm so tired after my OT till nearly 10pm, I may forget about the incident... cos for a moment, I was thinking about what I wanna bitch on.

As some of you knows, there's this woman in my office whom we nicknamed Umbrella. She won't read my blog lah, so of cos can blog publicly. Haha

But anyway... there was a blackout last Mon afternoon, and everyone were doing their stuffs as usual, except for me, cos I was quite free and was only looking through past estimates. Then all of em were quite pissed cos they were using MS office... so I tried to console em and said, "Microsoft should have auto recovery for the files." Some went, "Oh yah!"

But guess wat Umbrella said...

"So if there's no recovery files, you'll be responsible lah?"

She was laughing/smiling when she said that but her tone was definitely not a laughing/smiling tone.

I was so shocked at that sentence, I practically stood there stunned for 3sec, while A gave me a bu shuang look (she was bu shuang of Umbrella), and L went, "What?!" At 1st I thought L really didn't hear U, but apparently, she did, and she was equally shocked at what Umbrella said.

After the 3sec, I recalled what I said and replied, "I said should, SHOULD BE."

She is crazy lah, nv save her own work, it's her own fault wat. Always looking for excuses to push the blame to. The other time we had Green Team photo taking session, she was also like that.

There was a Town Hall Meeting, which was like all the employees in the office have to gather around the main area of the office for a presentation by big ppl, and it was around 10.30am for this particular one. The team leader, P, emailed us sth like, "Pls make yourself free after the Town Hall Meeting to take a photo.", around 1 week before the THM But everyone conveniently forgot about it, haha. And P came to look for us the afternoon after the THM. Umbrella wasn't around and I told her P came to look for us for the photo taking session, and that nobody stayed after the THM to take photo.

And there she goes...

"You cannot blame me you know. He only stated 'after the Town Hall Meeting'. How would I know whether it's 11am, 12pm or 3pm?"

And I said what I know, "Oh, I understand he meant right after the Town Hall Meeting, but I forgot about it. Haha."

And there she goes again...

"He should have stated clearly in his email. I'm very sure everyone read it the same way as me."

Wahlao... what did she mean man. And pls lah, I think she has no common sense... I've asked 10 ppl bout the email, and 10 ppl thinks that same way as ME, not HER. And there was another team member whom I'm quite close too, and think the same way as me.

And quite a few things happened also but I shall stop here. Haha. Tired. I foresee another 3 days of OT before I fly for London. Zzzz....
