1.20am
Guess what, that idiot colleague of mine is online now. Guess he wakes up quite early huh? Heh, now his names are all over my kwai lo boss's email. But I'm really not sure which part I should concentrate on, customer support or programming. I guess I like programming more, but seems like I'm pau ka liaoing now, so had to support customers as well.
1.21am
It's 1.21 am, and I'm suppose to read up on some scripting stuff, but sad to say once I'm online, nothing can stop me from surfing and chatting and ignoring my previous task.
1.31am
I've just sent out a mail, guess that idiot will be reading it as soon as possible...what the heck, I don't give a flying fart on his tactics. Two can play this game, see who wins at the end. There might be no winner after all.

Hello Diary,
I'm suffocating here, hanging on to my respirator while some dumbass keeps asking me technical questions. Meetings, sharing sessions, downloads, yadda yadda yadda, is a bit too much for me to handle in one day. Seems like I'm always the 'pau ka liao' here. And worst thing is, recognition is always not with me being the first, although the first name person did not do anything at all, but it's just that Mr. Gentlepope is new here, he's recognizing EVERYONE for their hard work, and I'M the only one who downloads everything to the new guy. MR. GP is the worst mgr I've seen, lack of prez skills, lack of technical competency, and full of reliance on other ppl...
He always asks the customer to educate him on this and that, whereas some of the stuff are simple enough to be found anywhere in the net. And the dumbest thing he said to the customer was, "You will need to treat me lunch, HAHA!", simply because we will be taking care of one of their senior engineers when they visit our company. Even my colleague complained on his lack of sensitivity towards customers. The customer was kinda shocked to hear this, but managed to regain her usual self and said no problem.
Sigh, one more day with him and I'll explode. I don't blame him for not being technically inclined, but this???

Signing off,
The unfortunate...

Gonna take Bear Bear for dry cleaning, he's been in the plastic bag for more than 3 months, now have a lotta dust lor, but still snuggly soft...eeee...hehe, my valentine's gift (u know who u are, *wink* *wink*) about two years ago...guess I can open up a toy store with the amount of toys I received from relatives and friends. Now I don't have much place to put them, might just give some of my own toys to my little nephew, who will probably chew them up or maybe pull their ears out...wonder how he's doing now, must be getting fatter by the day...definitely from the Lee family...:P
