It was started with Cynthia and I discussing where to go for dinner while we were driving away from the airport. In the end, I have suggested to eat Indian Prata at Jalan Kayu. That was one of the worst decisions I have made. I should have recalled my friend telling me that the government [...]

The Mount of Java
July 25th, 2002 No Comments
Three distinct incidents happened today and I have chosen the most significant one to be the title of today’s diary. One is on feeling, the other two are something that is within my control and something not. Throughout the day, I have been disappointed by the lack of reaction from the folks in the office [...]

Up There Where We Belong
July 24th, 2002 No Comments
Today is a high. It is like a happy ending to part one. After weeks of struggle with the functional specification, we have finally obtained a signoff. It is like a gift from heaven. Even I find it hard to believe. Not only have we obtained a signoff for the functional specification, we have got [...]

Daydream
July 23rd, 2002 No Comments
Today is definitely a day of daydreaming. The thought and the possibility of leaving this company to join another one are intoxicating.

A Day of Being Alone
July 22nd, 2002 No Comments
When I woke up this morning, I had a feeling that Francis would call off our lunch appointment and true enough, he did. Next, I SMS Choong Yong for lunch and he was on leave spending a day with his mother because today is her birthday. Getting desperate, I walked over to Arnaud’s workplace and [...]

Going Through the Storeroom
July 21st, 2002 No Comments
I have no idea why of all days I choose today to resume writing diary. Back in 97/98 when I was alone in Paris, I faithfully wrote down all my encounters and feelings everyday. To be honest, I hardly have the courage and patience to read through all that I have written in the past. [...]

I Begin to Understand

I may be rolling onto OUB! What a nice surprise after so many days of dark cloud over me. William called me this morning during his health check up. Marcus had a very short conversation with me and I told him that he is always so busy and does not have the time to talk [...]

Family Event

Tonight we had a wonderful dinner in Cynthia’s aunt’s place. A lot of tasty food and got a chance to meet up with her relatives. It has been quite a while since I have experienced any family event like this. Tweet
Terrible Day at Work
January 19th, 2000 No Comments
Today was a very terrible day. They can’t sell the middleware arrangement letter. Meng Kiong is going into the architecture team as one of the core team member and I will be rolled off. Marcus told me that it should be a good news to me as the role is just not there for me. [...]
