farewell and hello
18 April (Sun)
Well, say Hello to my new BenQ monitor. My old philips monitor which I had been using since my poly days, had been giving me problems for the past week that i can't tolerate any longer and decided to buy a new monitor today. Why? instead of a white screen, it showed a yellowish screen, making me strain my eyes.
At first, I was thinking of try to bear with it to see if the situation will get any better, as i am considering to get a new PC set if i am able to get into the Uni. But then.. really can't tahan liao.
I'll rather forkout $, which can be earned back that spoiling my eyesight, which is rather irreversible.
hmm, thanks WL (if u are reading this), for accompaning me to Sim Lim to shop for monitor and carrying it for me.

farewell (15 April, thurs)
sigh........
there's alway is Chinese Saying:该走的不走,不该走的偏偏走 (those who shouldn't leave, left; those who should leave, will still remain).
Farewell to my colleague DJG (or "Lian Yong Bao"), who resigned -- mostly because of the office politics and our supervisor's prejudice that led her to make this choice.
It's my supervisor's loss that she choose to favour another freelance writer (we had nicknamed her "Century Egg" just because she sucks up to her. In my eyes, "Lian Yong Bao" has more substance and talent than the "century egg".
Haha, why we use these food as nicknames -- read on in my next blog for more details.
