hea@work

When's the last time I update blog during work? Not that I don't have anything to do, just don't want to work….lol been catching up on ga sai tong as well, heheheeeeee…. I really enjoy the days when j is off :D

Tuesday: long demo, my first one without j beside me - glad not much tech questions :) more bloomberg poking around, and the boring never-ending lnet mapping doc - thanks k and b for helping out!! Been following up with mom's cell phone request as well, the hardware upgrade is not bad wor….. Just need her to pick what she wants I guess…..

Wednesday: another long demo, almost fell asleep cos it was webex hahaa, and can't hear what the french guy was saying on the phone…… glad I'm not the one presenting hahaaa…. Senses cake! So expensive but really good - would've been better if they were refrigerated I guess lol…. Spoon & fork was good too except I was really full (too much snacks in the afternoon) so couldn't eat much at dinner….. Thx v for da treat! Sorry couldn't fix the computer le, but at least know what the problem is = can research, and also, thanks for the magazines :D will keep me away from hp for a while hahaha

And I finally mailed out everything I owe cmm :P hope she'll like them la!

Long weekend preview: Friday dinner - evil me wants to see how someone reacts to the blink blink kekekee, Sunday - bbq?, Monday - k's computer if not fixed by then

And and…. Can't wait till oct - shopping @ miami!!! :P (note the focus is not the cruise wakakkakakaaa)

updates!

Thursday: lnet meeting - what?! You giving me work to do???? Yo we pay you you should be doing work for us!! Grrrrrr…… yes, I've been emailing d&m more than anyone these days….. Endless lnet problems - stock split, backend files, invoices, etc…… I sleep dreaming about lnet…… @@" already in a bad mood - decided to get myself into a worse mood by calling bell, trying to figure out the bills, right, apparently the customer representatives can offer watever they want when you sign up for the service, and then also charge you watever they want when they bill you, isn't that nice? So the story was, I was told I'll get 3 months free internet, 24-month contract, no LD deactivation charge (when cancel w/i 30days)….. But all that become non-existing when I call - "I'm sorry I don't see it showing on your records" - how da heck am I suppose to ensure the customer representative have entered what he told me on the phone? I don't see your stupid computer screen I don't see your system, if you tell me what I'm getting that's what I'm expecting! Sooo pissed off and they held me on the phone for 2 hours - no conclusion…. I hung up when va came to pick me up… sorry va you have to listen to my complaints yet again……. After the complaint tho the dinner was good - we both ate a lot more than expected hahaa.. Just keep talking and eating - good to have a nice walk at no frills aftewards… :D and thankyou thankyou for buying all those stuff for me in hk~~ heheheeee

Friday: busy busy…… rushed off work for paradise, then hot pot @ vincents, omg m&l got engaged!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!! The whole night we spent questioning the two about how it happened hahahaha…… really happy for them though, first couple in the group!! Very pretty ring indeed :)

Saturday: rain rain rain = bbq cancelled….. Almost late for danger this morning, and then went out for the plan b - bowling… turns out a lot of ppl flew airplane, jo ji I join them la hahahaa….. O wells, stayed for a bit and then went off to yorkdale to walk around - with m&l :) didn't buy anything but was checking out prices wakakkakakaakak get ready for miami :P dinner @ new city - black pepper ox tongue spaghetti - very traditional, very yummy heheheheheee, watched the miriam movie (mui dong bin wan si) - ok wor……. Not bad, maybe cos I like miriam la heheheheee

Sunday: skipped yoga agin… man, I really need to push myself to yoga on sundays!! Went to home depot to buy the wood stuff for the garage shelf - the board was too big we had to leave the backdoor open the whole way back home - beep beep beep all da way……. Only took us a couple hours to get it done, but missing some screws to tie it tight to the wall….. And killed a lot of flies hahahahaa…… rested while watching potege (moon toll) - yau d nasty…… that girl looks like "jing ji" gum…… not very pleasant……. Hehe, catching up on movies~

Monday: back to work, but didn't do much work kekekekeke….. The whole morning was gapgapgap + shopping for cmm's present - all done now (btw, us company sucks - what's with all these not accept credit card of non-US address?!?)! Only the jp gift left heheee that's been >1/2 year already :P and then little bit of lnet and salesforce stuff….. SOMEONE GET TO GO TO CONFERENCE IN PALMS BEACH!!!!!! Can you tell I'm very jealous???????? The person with vacation days he can't finish, gets another 4 days @ palms beach all paid for!!!!!!!!! Within a month after the cruise!!!!!!!!! Sigh…. Life is unfair………… wah, no rim tonight (outlook upgrade) - hope hope pray no problems tmr morning or we'll be SO DEAD! ohoh, gan said mt. tremblant in oct? sounds like a good idea eventho i'll be having way too many trips this year hahaa, watever its gan! i'll go :D can't wait till she comes back!!!!!!

admin day

morning was still work, busy work too... by the afternoon i was not in the mood of doing more work - comparing to everyone else's status on the status meeting, i've done more than enough!! spent the afternoon making decision on etrade or webbroker - finally have my answer and started filling out the form..... then a self-resolved production issue - no m, we are here and the problem is on the client not us!!

after dinner was 2 hours of analyzing phone bills and insurance forms...... finally got everything straighten out - i think... just need to mail in the forms and call to yell at bell tomorrow - oh it's going to be super time consuming i can predict! and then, always forgot about the rbc password reset...... and mom's stupid cell phone that she's been calling me everyday about - its annoying to the point that i just don't want to do it for her, want to just hang up on her everytime she calls now....

still got more $$ issues to figure out..... sigh, hate being an adult! ><~

on a happier note, got a lot of things done today~ plus got a almost free fruit salad from marche :) and shampoo/conditioner on sale.... looking forward to the end of the week!!!

its been busy

haha, hp kept me busy on go trains therefore no time for blog :P and then ipod video, but hp is taking priority :D

hmm, let's see what i did 3 weeks ago....

work ma, continue the margin problem but in the end it went away on its own.... j said "if you can get lnet to admit they made a change in the background, i'll buy you coffee" (the you was me.... ) hahaaa, i should've said i'll do it if i get a raise for it lol.... new margin software specs/sample, wh files auto delivery - didn't even bother finding a developer to do it, much faster to do it myself.... entertaining d on salesforce - once again business brains can't work with technology.... played with the bloomberg machine (finally a simple and fun task).... and of course endless support work

the market was up and down past couple weeks - seen the other side of big l..... while trying to help him with a quick report on bo for intra-day margin calls... saw him banging his hand on he desk and swearing... i really didn't wana be there but had no choice as he requested me to stay...... but glad that my report helped... eventho now it doesn't really work, i really duno why.. have to spend some time to look into it sin dak..... + the abc report - couldn't get away with doing summary tables..... mo ban fat..... bo sucks!!!

j started his 2 week vacation this week, and b is totally useless on support.... doesn't wake up to catch the problems and claims the sod/eod page takes too long so he's not going to rerun the jobs, then gets to the office and say what do i do where do i go.... use your brain before you ask man! got fed up i rather do them myself.... ended up spending my whole morning doing work b should be doing...... i need to fix him up eventually or else i'll explode one day.....

outside of work le, the cruise "tea meeting" dinner.... helping dad out with house stuff, lantern festival, va's return - thanks for da moomin candy, i absolutely LOVE da box!!!!, d's bday (+l's ice cream treat), trip planning - thx s and c for the US address!!

lastly the evermost troublesome mother in the world..... i got really mad in the office i couldn't even hold it had to yetll at her in front of my coworkers..... i can't believe anyone could have THAT little logic in her head - or maybe none.... this whole tv thing i swear i will never put my hand on it again, if ur so-called friend end up not buying it, don't come to me, i've done my work and you made me break my promise on my friend - don't expect i'll ever help again.... now dad understands why i don't want to have anything to do with her, eventho she's related to me.... just a waste of effort and time and energy to do anything that has to do with her.... and even he agrees with locking up my room when i'm out, so there!

its so sad that work took 3 paragraphs while family and fun each took only 1..... i want a life :)

oh i'm suppose to upload the lantern festival pics.... i will do it now, check out my picasa in a bit!

Long weekend

First long weekend after csc, that means I can play! :D friday didn't do anything but sat we went to buffalo! First the traffic was horrible, we kept checking the border wait time through the rim on the way there, thought we were smart enought to pick the shortest wait bridge la, dim ji...... Already stuck before we can even see the bridge! Another stupid thing we tried was going thru duty free thinking we can skip part of the traffic... No! Its worse! So we ended up taking a local road back to the rainbow bridge.... Actually did lunch there and took some pics at the fall before crossing the border... Btw, the line up for the bridge is still bad but if u go from the fallsview side you skip a big chunk of the line up hehehe only took us 20mins while the website says 1hr :)



Someone studied the map and kept asking me for directions at the very last min, then when I am still looking yau rush me, I made the wrong decision jau wa me..... U knew the map well I don't when u ask I didn't even know where we were on the map, nevermind which way to go! Gik sei....



Went to walmart first for 'the order'.... Then target for my hp books :) then walden galleria for the real shopping! Abercrombie kids are soooo cheap! Really good deal on the sale section hahha that's the only plave I bought clothes.. Other than that was vs of course and bath & body works - suprised that they sell kose products there now! I bought a mask :) saw a pair of nice and good price coach shoes - really good for work, but didn't wana pay too much tax passing the border so didn't get them....



Last stop is the outlet mall - nothing nice there at all especially after the mall.... But guess who I ran into there? K j and a!!!! Apparently they were at the mall before too, but we didn't run into each other there...



The guy at the border was very nice, we were all prepared with the receipts and stuff to pay tax but he let us go :)



Dinner at the falls - the restaurant is called tony roma's.... Someone recommended it but we didn't find it that good, fisrt of all super long wait for the food - their famous ribs is not as good as baton rough, their steak is actually not hot enough..... We also got tricked on the sides - beans = canned yellow beans..... Price ma, regular la.. For the amt of things we get le jau cheaper than other gwai lo places ge.....



Some more night shots of the fall after dinner before heading home - very tired!



Sunday went to lunch k with loo ppl! It isn't as fun as nite k hahaha eventho I don't drink... :p thank you thank you for the present I really love it! But I feel bad for making you guys pay so much for it, I know their things are not cheap at all.... Oh and finally cleared all the $$ with them la, t came in to the k room with a chequebook in her hand, ho chi accountant gum hahaha.. Then someone's car battery died and we couldn't leave the plaza until s and g came to rescue.... Jump started the car and finally went to dinner around 10 - the new gal sushi.... Quality the same vut they use silver chopstick instead of wood ones - yes more environmental friendly but not as clean I think, cos we are eating raw food here... So, another long day....



Monday stayed at home and attempted to change al the light switches in the house a really month liu and waste money request by mom.... 1st found out those reversable switches are a bit different so we went out to rona to get some, the realize there are different types - the wiring inside the switches are different so we couldn't get them working anyways.. Went to return them.... And couldn't figure out how the dimmer works either cos no indication which is ground on the thing itself.... There spent 4 hours of doing nothing hahaha dinner was steak - good that I chose ribs at niagara on sat :)



Back to work on tuesday and it was a typical day after long weekend - everything breaks :) spent my whole day servicing the margin ppl for something that's their fault plus big l on how to print a report - turns out to be pop up blocker hahaa



Finaly get to do my own work on weds for the widgets specs and bo report - to get stuff off my own todo list! Took on the softek one as well see see how that goes la..... Stupid d is driving me nuts - why is loanet's problem pb's problem? If u the margin expert can't figure it out how would I know how they calculate things? U are not my boss don't tell me what I need to do, I am just trying to help u out here not working for u... Arggggggh!!!!



Time to get off the trian cont later

Life@desk

Spent the day at the desk yesterday, I had no idea how busy they are..... Its like everyone is working on 10 things at any given second... But their things are not very time consuming, usually done and over with by eod - unlike us lol.... But it was fun and they work well together.... Seems like j and a are running the business more than l hahhaa and I learn how comupter iliterate the other people are... J and a are already pretty good :P



V's last night @ tor!!! I kept thinking she's flying out sat a... Meant to meet up with her before she leaves but can't la... Well have fun in hk... I'll miss you - for 2 weeks :)
