A Special Day

P= Patient D=Doctor

Venue: YSL Clinic & Surgery Pte Ltd
Date: 26-AUG-2008
Patient: Wong Chee Siong

P: Since end June 2008, I feel pain when touch it and it grows bigger and biggest, especially in the past 2 weeks.
D: Yes, there is a possibility. It is better for you to do a check up.

Venue: Mount Elizabeth Hospital
Doctor: Oncologist and Physician
Date: 28-AUG-2008
Patient: Wong Chee Siong

D: After the checkup, it doesn't look like it is. However, to be confirmed, you need to do an excision biopsy.

Venue: Gleneagles Hospital
Doctor: Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery
Date: 28-AUG-2008
Patient: Wong Chee Siong

D: Don’t worry. It doesn’t look like it is. I will do an excision for you now.

Today was rushing here and there for check up. Thanks L so much for accompany me whole day. Early morning we met and chose for my birthday present. After that, immediately went to Mt Elizabeth Hospital and waited for about 2 hours before I managed to meet the doctor.

Follow up with some checkups and then rushing to Gleneagles Hospital for excision biopsy, after done, we were very tired.

L’s accompany and comfort did help me to reduce stress. However,feel sorry to burn up his leave.

Also feel sorry for C and HH. They knew I went for the checkup. Believe I did make them worry too.

Chatted with HH last night. She asked me whether I worry. Yes, I do but I am ready to accept any result regardless of good or bad. On 2001 (after 911 and my cousin passed away @ age 26), I prepared a will and done a financial planing. I do make sure if any unfortunate thing happens to me, my parents are still able to live in conform. I have nothing to worry now.

HH also asked me whether I did tell my parents about the checkup. If the result is positive, am I going to tell them?

My answer is NO. There is no point to tell them because it doesn’t benefit them at all but make them worry. I will choose to do the treatment quietly and not going to tell any1 in my family.

HH & I concluded that there are 2 kinds of people, 1 chooses not to know the result and another chooses to find out. I belong to 2nd kind. Reason is if there is a chance to be cured, then I go for the treatment. If it is cureless, then I want to plan how to spend the rest of my day. I want to mange my life till my last breath.

So, what I had excised and when I can get the result?

Answer for 1: A mole on my face
Answer for 2: Next Tuesday, 2 Sep 2008

Relief

Today I sold about 80% of the shares I hold. In conclusion, this round I lost about SG$29K+. Sounds quite a lot. However, I feel nothing at all but relief.

I don’t feel surprise about my reaction. Reasons:

1. In share market, either you gain or you lost. This is the rule.
2. Sick and tired of people keep talking about share market. Don’t want this meaningless
topic to disturb me at all.
3. Money comes and goes. Why need to be upset when it goes?
4. Either with or without the money, life still goes on. Don’t think the money can make me happier.

When my friends read the statements above, sure some of them will be shocked because I always show people how urge I am about money. However, is that my true face? I am confused and I am not sure. This is how complicated I am.

Anyway, my close friends know that, if gold drops from the sky but with condition, sure I won’t pick it up. It happened many times.

佛祖释迦牟尼说人有八苦，分别是: 生、老、病、死、怨憎会、爱别离、五阴炽盛、求不得. We are suffered because we can not let go. I always remind myself: 色不异空，空不异色，色即是空，空即是色。

我是一只小小小鳥

Never known J has such great talent. Below the song she changed. So impress.

我是一只小小小鳥
有時候我覺的自己永遠吃不飽
也許只有吃的很多才能夠長高
盼望能有一張迷人的相貌
把所有人都迷倒
最后發現只有一種方法使用蒙汗藥
長大之后無奈進入了社會我總是睡不著
我懷疑公司給別人的工資都比我高
總是努力學著對別人微笑
難免也中他們圈套
偶爾上帝也會對我說失敗很重要
我是一只只只..小鳥
因為吃的太多已經飛飛飛不高
我尋覓一個棲息的樹已被我壓折了
這樣的重量算不算太高
我是一只只只小鳥
突然一天醒來有了迷人的美貌
而且也能飛上青天誰的歌聲真美妙
美麗的要求也不算太高

水浒传 - What is Man?

今年在 Esplanade 观看了林奕华所导的水浒传。这是一部很出色的舞台局。在香港演出时，导演说了一翻我100%同义的话：当关系进入实际责任时，双方会把所有的条件都放在桌面上。两人都斤斤计较。最后女人会问；你是男人吗？男人会问；你是女人吗？大家都希望在 Give and Take 的关系中，自己是那一位不要Give太多的。反正你也不是我心目中的一百分，我为什么要为你付出一百分？对我耒说，你只值七十分。我付出六十分，己很给你面子。你还敢要求多多？

Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Closing

After 17 days, Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is closed. For sure it was the best and almost the perfect Olympic game in history. Also, it is the 1st time China be the top winner for Olympic game with 51 Gold. For many people from China, it is worth to spend US$2.2 billions for a perfect Olympic game.

Firework 22-08-08

Bought the ticket for the Firework show in Marina Bay. Ended up, M & I spent about 3 hours in the car and kept driving in Marina Bay area. We watched the firework in the car. Reason? We couldn’t find a parking lot.

The Firework. Kept driving from 7:15PM to 9:47PM, we still not able to get a parking lot.

Conduct Training Again

On 21-22 August, I am going to conduct a Business Objects training again. This time is for Singapore users. So I don’t need to travel.

This is X time I conduct a BO training this year. Feel like I am a full time trainer already. It is good to meet people from different location and different level.

For me, training is challenging because I don’t know what the question the students are going to ask in the class. I also like to ask my students a lot of question about business logic. Some even commented that I have more questions than the students.

Side effect for the training: The more people using BO, the more questions and helpdesk calls they are going to raise because of unfamiliar with the application and data. My “business” always getting very good after I conduct training.

Damn PC

Very frustrated with my 2 idiot laptops. 1 after upgraded to MS2007, all the application “hang” when used. Immediately down grade back to MS2003. Side effected: on an off hang. Need to reformat the laptop. So troublesome. I need to backup my data and reinstall all the applications again.

Another laptop, don’t know why has internet connection issue. Everytime it auto terminated the access and not able to login to internet any more.

I really hate this kind of program, software or hardware problem because I don’t know how to fix it. Please don’t like others who always ask me: "You work in IT, how come you don’t know how to repair or fix a PC?” Excuses me, I am an IT analyst but NOT a hardware or software engineer. I don’t know how to do that. SO WHAT??????? I am really pissed off now.

Welcome CIO

CIO comes to AP office again. This is already his X times here this year. Why he is here again? More and less is he wants to know whether we have any issue or concern with the new Global Organization Chart.

He is a friendly and caring person. Just try to be yourself and there are no many “official” rules to follow when dealing with him. Not like last time, when someone was in charge of AP IS, there were so many rules and different in level for us to follow.

What is the commented from others about the changed? Now the environment is more friendly and relaxing even though we have more work and responsible.

Every changed is a good changed. Means there is a new challenge for me to due with.

The restaurant

Happily taking photo? If some1 is still here, most likely he is going to BAN it. Reason? It is NOT nice to do that in front of our VIP, the CIO. Before and ....

After

Travel Phobia 2

After Hong Kong, Korea is the 2nd country that I try not to go.

--------------------------------------------------------
Hi X ,

As spoken, I would like to postpone the BO training in Korea to year 2009.
Reasons are:
1) ..................
2) .................
3) .................

Understand that the training has been announced to the users and it may cause inconvenience if we postpone the
training to next year. However , I do appreciate your help and discuss with X for this issue.

Thanks and Regards,

The Funeral for My Phone

One of my mobiles has announced “rest in peace” after I put it into the washing machine for about 10 minutes. Feel sorry for it because it was only 2 months old.

L gave me a phone after knew my mobile is dead. Look at the phone, it looks good and it looks cute but it is not the one I had. They are different. You may say phone is phone, functionality they are the same. Why need to be so particular? For me, different is different and they are never been the same.

2008北京奥运开幕

这里不想谈北京奥运开幕如何让世人惊叹，如何让华人感到骄傲, 只想淡张艺谋。

自从四年前奥运闭幕他所承现的那场烂表演再加上他近年所拍的一堆烂电影，说真的我和许多人一样，担惊受怕了四年，真怕北京奥运开幕又是一场烂戏。只作出一些崇洋媚外，内容空洞，完全沒内涵的垃圾。还好他并没有让中国丢脸，也没所有让炎黄子孙失望。他把中国五千年文华的精髓承现给这个世界的每一个人。

Senai - August 2008: Day 1

In Senai now where very near to my hometown. However, I don’t stay at home but stay in a resort. Reason? The round trip transportation costs me the same as stay in a 5 stars hotel per day. So, better to spend the $ for hotel.

Before I came here, did hear a lot of stories about this hotel. Everybody in the office was very surprised why I chose to stay in this hotel but not other hotels in JB town, especially now is July for Chinese which is not a good month. My answer is I don’t want to waste the time in traffic.

Everything so far OK. Only problems are 1. The room is too cold even after I turned off the aircon because don't know where the wind still coming from. 2. On and off has funny sound comes from nowhere.

Anyway, what I wish is “WE” stay harmony. World peace.

The swimming pool.

As usual, my room photo.

The dryer almost falls down. “5 Stars” standard?????
