well glad for them to be celebrating their "national day" which they prefer to call independence... by comparison singapore is probably way behind in the number of years we've established ourselves since we started off in 1965. but hey look at where we are now! we caught up fast enough hehe...
i was doing some sums in my head today and i figure, heck i can have a target to aim for. i think that if i can save up a certain amount of money in my bank, i can probably be more hopeful about getting a car in future. but on the other hand, if i can't save up that targetted amount by this time next year, i can probably forget about getting that in the meantime. cos it'd probably mean i won't be able to afford the payments and stuff. call this discipline, but i'm sure as heck be glad to save up for any reason.
i must say today was hectic at work. if i had a hectic-o-meter, i'd probably rate this 8.5 on a scale of 10. i'm sure this isn't the end of it yet. although it's a monthly thing, this is as tough as things can get in the office. several things pending urgently, boss fires more arrow down. ok i understand his position, it's not exactly an indication of him being a meanie. he's got stuff to do, and it's not like he can help it but we're here to help fight the fire. so alright i do believe i'd cleared most of the urgent things at hand for the day. there's somemore tomorrow. of course those can wait because they are less urgent than those i'd done today. but by tomorrow they'll probably be bumped up the urgency chart already. work is never done. so it's not always practical to do overtime and exhaust myself somemore. right? heh yes i do have that sort of mentality. work hard, but also remember to work smart. i've lost count (ok i'm just lazy to list) of how many things i'd actually memorised in steps, procedures, (keyboard) shortcuts to increase my efficiency so i won't take more time than necessary in doing minute tasks like copy and paste. rather than doing all that mouse movements, most of the time i'm sure some of you would be aware that doing the Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V movement on the keyboard is far speedier no? apologies but i must admit i'm more of a keyboarder than a mouser (however you wish to term these types) so i do more things with the keyboard. sometimes i see my new colleague (the freshgrad who just joined few weeks back) doing his stuff as i helped to look on to help troubleshoot (not like i'm that free to kpo what he's doing k) i just have this urge to suggest squeak out one of those "why don't you..." phrases, but i'd refrain from that in case people start thinking i'm too bossy. and hey they have their own way of doing things... and my way might not always be the best way. so i leave things as they are. don't you get that urge sometimes? to tell the person next to you, that things can be better if you'd done it another way? bah...
ok done ranting. weather's pretty warm lately.
*forever and ever and ever and ever*
