Bad luck strike TWO!!!

A week after the glasses, raining and wiper incident, the al-mighty decided to land another blow in my wallet by striking a key into my rear left Yokohama Advan Neova AD07. This is the 2nd incident in a row that strange 'phenomenon' occured to my car! Seriously need a change of luck, but lacking any lately...

Rant aside, just finished submitting my income tax and realize that I am actually spending most of my money paying people / organization / government.... this sucks. Why can't an individual enjoy his pay? My wishlist is growing but there is no progress since.... Last November? The last thing I buy for myself is the 29" CRT TV, how pathetic.

In fact I can't seem to actually afford anything lately, this is depressing as I have worked for 3 years, an average Joe would've save enough to buy a new car or treat himself for an E&O buffet dinner spread, while I have to keep remind myself that I need to keep the extra money for this and that. Sigh....

Well, at least I finally confirmed for the Genting trip next 2 weeks, WHOO HOOO!!! After 3 months of delaying and planning, finally I get to have a break away from all these crap in my life, period.... and get to raid uncle Lim's casino *nyek nyek nyek* Hope this will rejuvinate my hp and mana, and maybe my pocket also :)

Damn my glasses and the gods

Lost the darn spectacles at the SP waterworld yesterday, so no big deal as I thought, what can 60degree of near sight cause? What I didn't realize was that I also have 100+ astigmatism which really sux during the night coz all the lights will be seen as flowery which will have problem when you wanted to pin point the source of the light (estimate distance)
So I guess Zeus decided to throw in some difficulties by throwing down some water from the sky to make the light smear even more, top up with thunder for effect yesterday. So I thought, what the heck, no rain is going to slow me down in the night, even without my glasses, I'm pretty sure I could nail the 20 minutes drive back to my apartment in Penang...

Then it hit me before the Bridge toll, Daihatsu's reknown's reliability decided to kick up a hush by ceasing operation of my wiper, DURING A level 2 rain!!! (Note: Level 2 rain = the rain's frequency requires user to operate their wiper at 2nd slowest speed)

I swear I did not insult anyone (especially gods) in any manner, but this is the list of misfortune that I have to put up with, on a cool Sunday night. I have driven Daihatsu Charade for the past 3 years and I NEVER EVER have a spoilt wiper before, nor did I heard anyone of my friends, even in the forum complaining about spoilt wiper. And then I have it, during rainy days, without my glasses somemore. WTF!

Luckily I have my sister with me, but that bugger also drive like no tomorrow, have to call her hp 2 times to slow down then only really slow down. Really glad I made it through Penang bridge without any incident, I seriously think that I have made a significant achievement / milestone in my life by surviving the drive, I think this beats being the #1 in Penang bridge run.

So the hell with Daihatsu's wiper, and my glasses... will post the picture I took inside the car during the freak drive later.

Quality my arse

Haven't been blogging for months already, not because I'm lazy but because I don't have enough time and accessibility to internet to online and post.... OK, maybe I'm lazy but the main reason I lack of the mood to blog is because of the amount of stamina my work is extorting on me.

Maybe I ought to say that my company is facing one of its greatest joke of its history, 3 same quality incident over the past 1 month. THREE!!! Very pathetic, I wonder how the customer really think about it, kena then kena then kena again, over and over.... if people slap you then say sorry, tomorrow slap you again then apologize, then the very next day slap you AGAIN.... fooohh....

It all started because of escapee in the production, coupled with QA failure to screen it out in their normal screening method, even the big boss cannot take this kind of crap.

So that leaves all the engineers working day and night for the containment and corrective action, plus with the micro-management style imposed due to the 'impotency' nature of our management, we were left with very little time and strength to focus on others. Come to think of it, I am still playing FFXII in my PS2 (after 2 months), WoW still level 35 (after 1 month) and the last time I really spend time with my gal was like 2 months ago.... this is ridiculous, never met into such dark age before.

Well for what's worth, I think I need to learn how to improvise my working attitude and method, if you keep fire-fighting in your work for a long duration of time without any sign of improvement, then it's either:

• You're useless, or
• You need to expose to some other elements for upgrade (whether mind or physical)

Coz I am pretty sure I'm not the former, I would have to really make effort to make the later came true. Maybe I should make a resolution that I will never put myself in such a dangerous position ever again in my life. At least Monday is a holiday, as much as I want to rest my spirit and soul this weekend, I can't help but think of what dreaded situation will I face when I go to work Tuesday, well, can always worry about that later. I need my much needed rest this weekend.
