It's like what i say to my local friends .... "I'm not from some third world shit hole afterall "
I'll certainly hunt for jobs here .... but i won't take up some shitty code junkie job just for the sake of staying on here eh ....
In anycase, I hope to try my luck with IBM ... they were looking for grads and interns through the my Honours society newsletter .... i think i'll might give it a shot .... -
bunch of pricks from the middle kingdom turning the lab into a fish market again ....

my dinky little ipod can't beat their lappy boomboxes .... the whole lab got acquainted with andy lau just now ....Originally posted by BrUtUs:u cant beat them join them... or just use your headphones n blast your music there...
just can't stand some of those pricks sometimes ... if they want a look at your homework assignments they can be so nice and fawning ... other times they behave like they own the world .... (okie .... they are all sons of rich party officials and businessmen, ... and drive mustangs and beemers around the campus, so ? ... ), i'm marked by some of them as a banana, but i don't care, .... i cringe whenever i see chinese language periodicals and newspapers strewn about in the arts library, and some idiots actually graffiti the tables and toilet walls .... in Chinese characters !!! ...... -
What guarantee do you have of not landing an equally "shitty code junkie job" back in Singapore?Originally posted by Fatum:I'll certainly hunt for jobs here .... but i won't take up some shitty code junkie job just for the sake of staying on here eh ....

I would venture to say that companies and organizations in the West tend to treat their employees better (even the shitty code junkies!). -
Doesn't the lab enforce some kind of noise policy?Originally posted by Fatum:bunch of pricks from the middle kingdom turning the lab into a fish market again ....

We had our biggest jacket for our lotto 649 yesterday. The pot was estimated at 40 million. Of course i bought a ticket. Last night as they were going through the numbers, when my first two numbers matched, wah, my heart skipped a few beats. Then, sekali from then on........no matching numbers.
The winning ticket was purchased in Winnipeg. Somebody is going to be so happy.
And you Brutus? What are your lotto like? -
