No. Not me launching a pre-emptive strike on my boss with regards to my job and contract.
Yesterday I was only applying for leave on Wednesday for a day of relax and fun which is my birthday too. Then she wanted to talk to me about something. She launches into a small contract talk, asking whether do I want to stay on, how long more to my contract ends. Also said, CLY and her are in the middle of planning to convert me to staff, contract or perm, I don't know. And I will be informed once things are firmed up.
Gosh, my pre-emptive strike in the next few weeks is gone. Wanted to surprise her that my contract is ending and I like to convert to at least to contract staff or even perm if possible. Given a short amount of time and shock, I will have more bargaining powers. Now, she got the advantage as I cannot go demand how it is since she already told me that in the process already. I can now only ask pretty late and say, how long it is going to take. so sadz..

Work overload......
Getting more and more workload nowadays...
Hardly have time to rest and check on things...
To think my boss will suggest coming back on weekends to do OT, which I will be compensated. Maybe I will do it when I am out of money. Going home later at night to clear up work. For goodness sake, this will mean every night..
Short term, this will settle issues. Long term, this is not going to work.
Suffering from fatigue from work already. That is beside my night gaming and watching DVDs. This is because I am surviving well until the onslaught of work.

The passing and the incentive
I finally passed my IPPT, 2 weeks later after my first attempt!
Results
Sit-ups -- 36 reps -- 4 pts
Standing Broad Jump -- 230 cm -- 4 pts
Chin-ups -- 7 counts -- 3 pts
Shuttle Run -- 9.9 secs -- 5 pts
2.4 km run -- 12 mins 23 secs -- 2 pt
Total 18 pts.
Result - Pass with incentive!
A tough $100 to run after so many training, a sprained ankle which has yet to heal completely. I cannot believe that my timing for 2.4km improve by 46 secs. This is like a big jump, esp with my ankle not fully recovered.
My target for next year IPPT is to improve on the timing to less than 12 mins and then to get 21 points and earn $200. Assuming all things the same, my 2.4 km run will get 3 points and increase my sit-ups to 5 pts (39 reps) and my chin-ups to 4 pts (9 counts), I will get 21 pooints with a minimum of C grades per station. Hahha =P

Science and Faith
Yes, I was reading one of my regular blog and it link to this website about Science and Faith. I think this is a great post and it is not one of those lengthy debates but an outpouring of frustrations on things that have been proven and shot down that should have been laid to rest long ago. It is great to talk about it in religious class but not as a challenge to science.
On one of the comments, there is something called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a parody, using the approach by certain religious zealots to justify the existence of a new “God”. Pretty funny, go read it here~!
While on the same subject, I read about a certain church. Due to a natural refrain from helping to advertise, increase count or whatever you like, name is withheld but it is easy to know which church I am referring to. A blog about it, a newspaper article and finally a wikipedia entry.

The lost blogs....
I used to surf blogspot, skimming through blogs after blogs, stopping to read at certain blogs that I feel are interesting or good. It may be informational, technical, personal blogs or whatever attracted me.
Now, I am speed surfing blogspots as I am hitting pages and pages of advertisments. It is like a free blatant advertising website with all sorts of keywords. This is to hope that google will pick up the page and then links to it and hopefully reach some potential customers. All these are making blogs reading difficult and inconvenient.
I hope that blogspot can clear out fake blogs like this and I can go back to surfing other people’s blogs

Blogger for Word
Found this new utility for blogspot. Seems to be pretty useful as you can use Microsoft Word to blog. This makes blogging slightly easier as you can certainly blog on Word, do your editing etc “offline” before publishing it.
Certainly saves the problem of errors in blogspot, losing your blog as what happened to A because you still have your original Word document. But you can always use back the normal blogspot to blog.

Good and Bad Experience found in the same restaurant
Renn Thai Restaurant in Suntec City
A and I went to Renn Thai last night for dinner. We decide to give the restaurant a try as the food seems nice and prices are reasonable.
The food is indeed good as it tastes quite good and value for money. Environment is not bad and a bit cozy. This is the good experience encountered in a new restaurant.
The bad side? Be prepared to wait up to at least 40 minutes for your food. Yes. 40 minutes. You must be thinking that I probably waited for 10-30 minutes outside the restaurant queueing inclusive. Sorry, this is totally wrong! The restaurant was half full and most of the customers are already served. A and I only ordered 2 main dishes and 2 drinks but it still took an amazing 40 minutes for them to serve a main dish and 10 minutes later to serve the other dish. Halfway through my meal, I decide to order the mango salad first which I forgot to order earlier on. 20 minutes after it, both A and I finished our meals already and the wait for a mango salad took so long, we decide to cancel the order and leave.
You maybe thinking why I rant on for so much while I only listed the good side of it. Hey, the food is the only redeeming factor here. This is a restaurant which has its main branch in Ngee Ann City and is located at Suntec City. Such poor service is not exactly tolerated. We spent 1.5 hr in the restaurant, just to have a 10 minute meal. This is absurd.
Please do not patronise this restaurant unless it is near empty or you are not hungry yet. then again, why are you in a restaurant if you are not hungry?
