Ladies, do not mess with your boyfriends if he has issues with anger managment....





He just might do what this guy did to your beloved car.

If I were to wish for something right now...

... I wish I had a better mouth. My lips are too thick, it's ugly and whatever words that comes out from always gets me into some stupid trouble. :s

"Mini owners in Singapore are so.... like that, hai..."

Personally, I tend to agree. Mini came from BMW, and BMW cars are like so expensive. People who buy high-priced cars usually expect high level of reliablity, quality and performance, not only from the cars themselves, after-service as well. You pay so much, must you expect so much as well? Hmm...

Ever since my company took over the Mini dealership at the beginning of this year, it hasn't really been going smooth sailing. Too much to put into here... but currently what I'm noticing now are the problems with a certain recent Mini model, parts department still not efficent enough, sales not doing fanstastically good and the main concern for most of the service guys here... the real lack of manpower. Since the beginning of the year, 2 CSOs, 2 mechanics and 1 service manager have left. One of our current CSO is just slightly younger than me and he is not exactly good at handling customers in general. Our current service manager is actually the guy who interviewed me when i first came to the company, and he is doing both Porsche and Mini side... hence he only appears in either workshops for like half a day. We only have 2 mechanics (me not included) to do the Mini servicing and repairs, although one very senior guy has just been recently transferred from Saab side to here but.. sigh. My immediate supervisor... well i just follow him whenever i can, a RR comes and we both work on it, if not just do Mini.

I was browsing through the web and found the local Mini website forum, and when i took a look inside... boy they were lashing at how terrible the dealer servicing is. Can't help to initially have this thought of.... "Wah lao!" Then after a short pulse, really, we service guys didn't wanna have such problems too. I would say that we guys have no problems getting cars fixed, but if the car wasn't designed well... what can we do? ya we can come up with solutions... if we can't find the best possible solutions, what made others better? Yes, although our company has only like 9 months of experience with Mini, but I'm pretty sure we have more hands on with the cars than anyone here in Singapore. Of course, the customer always have the choice, to come here or go elsewhere. Actually at my level now I shouldn't even be bothered by all these, my priority is to learn the skills... but there's also this thing called pride, and I think i am very fortunate to be working in this company. Our big boss have even won this year's "Best company boss of the year" (or something like that) award. Meh... i wait to see if got any bonus or $$$ :D



Haven't seen someone for quite a while, I suppose heavy work load is the cause. Weekends have been quite lonely as well... hope it changes soon. Next month is full of birthdays of the ones close to me... come to think of it, it's pretty exciting in some way. :)

Argggghh, I'm getting sick again!!!

I've been having this pain sensation in my left side of the throat since monday and its been getting progressively growing worse. Now my whole throat hurts like hell whenever i tried to swallow. Took a peek into my mouth with a mirror and torchlight and omg... so swollen red and ewww... some white patches here and there. Last night was horrendous, i couldnt sleep properly, even had to get off the bed to gargle some salt water. I tried almost every remedy for sore throats that i can get my hands on.... gargling salt water, soda, mouthwash.... even bought some cayenne pepper to make this water to gargle, which initially kinds burns my tongue a little instead. Sucking sweets, drink water whenever i can (same goes to the toilet visits), lozenges.... still it got worse. So far gargling helps the most, only in a temporary sense.

Now i've getting some runny nose, fuckin' hell i'm getting sick again. :(



After letting it out last night... it made me realised what i had just had in my mind at that time. Sometimes you have thoughts that covered so many areas... so you think. It wasnt until this morning that i felt kinda foolish and somewhat stupid to have such thoughts and to think i was like.... hahaha look i'm laughing at myself! GG. :p

Alright i gotta go back to nursing my inflamed throat... my last weekend of solo skating was great, not gonna miss this coming one either.

Actually....

... I hate to be alone. It seems ironic coming from a guy with is shy by nature. Though I'd rather go out alone than which other people, it is more like i rather go out with the ones who i wanna go out with than hanging out with a bunch just for company sake. Very contradicting indeed huh.

It's been years since my last relationship, but now some of the familiar feelings are coming back. It's like you know, when the conditions are right, things somehow fall into place blahblahblah.... only this time, new factors come into play. Very obvious ones.

It's sucks really. When ya like sucked into this sort of hole, not really by choice.... and you just don't know what to do. Get out or plow through? I would wanna get out, I'm not exactly in a position to be capable of maintaining an attach relationship yet... but the feelings are overwelming. Okok not that much.... But to me, it's a rare phenomenon, something that is too good to miss. Age is no longer a matter... yeah it's THAT strong.

Then again, being myself.. i am always insecure, especially when comes to dealing with matters than i have failed before. And that's when i'll start to mess up... No no no i dont wanna embaress myself or anyone. Sigh......

Was just finished watching Channel 5's new series Love Stories Anthology Series, for once our local production has actually produced something up to some standard. It was indeed pretty moving and touching, got pulled into the minute i switched my channel over. They were showing different stories with different situations, some ended good, others very sad indeed.

I guess after watching this show, it's best that I.... keep it within myself. For now.

Should I be ashamed? Am I foolish? Recently I'm not really looking forward for the weekends. PMS you can say. I bought myself a pair of rollerblades... so I decided to make weekend blading my weekly event... with or without company.

...of course, i'd rather have some preferred company. :|
