Issues on my mind

1. Trip to Genting. yup i know this sounds a bit selfish... but what the heck.. if you think i'm selfish, i can go and find another more selfish person out there...

Yup, finally. I've not been on one (do you count the recce in Bangalore one? YES...) decent trip in the whole of holidays. Partly cos of the attachment enrichment program, and partly because of the lack of $$. yup... i wonder how much my money will stretch until... it's really scary to see all your $$ going away like that...

The plan was to go sightseeing around Genting and perhaps KL, then maybe a few rounds around Johor area... Malaysian friends (particularly: Yeelian) you know i'm gonna need your help, since i'm not taking any tour packages... Need some help on the bus routes and fares... and where to eat.

I'm making only $150 this holidays... and i'm spending like 15-20 times that much. Already.

2. Trip to Bangalore and Tumkur. Yup this one is the main killer. Lots of cash thrown into it... 5 days to check out the place with jingkai, go and chuchut the locals a bit, and then have some beers in bangalore. haha...

however, all was good until yesterday, when the Indian Airlines workers had to strike. And they had to strike a good 3 days before i fly!!! wth. wth. wth. stupid~

sometimes, too much democracy is not too good. especially when you are the innocent party. like me now.

now i'm really wondering whether will i have a flight on saturday to catch. whether will there be just an empty plane on the tarmac without pilot and airline crew. like Lost. i'm like expecting flight delays - that's the least - to entire cancellations. The phone lines in the Singapore office has been cut. There is no information at all, to which flights have been delayed, or cancelled.

And God bless me if i'm caught in India without a flight.

Lesson to learn: never, NEVER, choose an airline who has had a strike two months from the day you're travelling. (Indian Airlines had a strike on May).

3. YEP. All my other resources are now poured into YEP, mostly planning. Glad to say that the structure is finally taking place, and we can at least answer some of the questions that everyone has been asking. We are going to Tumkur, Bangalore, India, in Dec 2007, and we have a rough idea of what we plan to do over there. Now it's just the negotiations, the recruitment phase.

4. Prece*torship. After i got information from an alternative source, i found out that my prece*tor wasn't too bad after all. According to the source, she "fights" for our rights. Lets see how true is that. I don't mind being very busy, at least the day passes by very fast; but there's no opporturnity to explore and learn. A bit looking forward to it. I am, however, not revising for it.

5. Secret Project 2. There's been nothing much on this thread, emails have suddenly stopped. And i won't be here watching them execute it on Sunday, that's a pity. Maybe i'll be back after Tumkur.

6. Emed. Nothing much here too, except that one brown bagging session remains, just have to take pictures for that, and present it appropriately. No more trips to SGH, please.

7. Rag Dance. I guess i'm gonna axe this, sorry eesang. Reason being: read point number #1. and secondly, there's been no activity at all. Really i wonder, is six weeks gonna be enough. And i was so stupid not to put down "Rag Dance" when i handed in my prece*torship form, and i got batch 2 as a result. Hence, better not be a part of it as well, rather than be running places after work. I am selfish. And very tired. Sorry.

8. Mum coughing. I wish i'd followed the doctor's orders and given her Dhasedyl. But she said she had problems coughing out her phlegm, so i asked for Benadryl... and she's coughing away now. Sigh.
