Well, I can only be unhappy at work, obviously.
In order for me to stay, it will really depend on the salary increase now. I hate to quit, therefore they company better give me a damn good increase.
Otherwise, work has really stressing me out.

Not yet. Actually, the increase is reflected in my next pay check, but I do get to know how much I get probably next week.
I hope for 5k increase, but I highly doubt it. If I do get 5k increase, I might start to look for a new house, or buy some shares.
People always say you have to look for ways to save up in order to become rich. I say you look for ways to become rich! Save up will only make you look poor.
We will see.

Touched by Music
I never knew music can really be felt, until I hear songs by Aretha Franklin.
I cannot deny this, but her songs can really touch my heart.
Well, not the entire family, just my dad anyway.
I accompanied my mum to look for a new home, so at least next time when both of my folks, or when my brother comes back, they can have a permanent place to stay instead of crashing at a friend’s or relatives house.
We did find a great place. A less than two years old classy apartment. It was near my workplace and the location was great for shopping or dining. It was also in fantastic neighborhood.
Not to mention the price was good too.
Everything seemed to have worked out so well, and it was just a matter of signing the papers, that was when my dad stepped in.
“I only want a place with two bathrooms”.
Well, the place we found only had one. However, dad insisted on having two. I don’t even see the point of having two bathrooms. Even if you want one, it would be very difficult to find. Yet, the price is likely to be way over our budget.
I tried to convince dad again, however, the result was the same.
We did find one with two bathrooms. However, it was also 400k more.
Dad, I know you are loaded, but I don’t think you want to pay 400k for an additional set of toilet seat and a tub.
At the end of the day, yes, my dysfunctional dad ruined it all. No new home.
God, please help my dad…
Well, at least I have shown mine anyway.
BenQ is in a lot of shit recently, and the employees are showing support by leaving your signature on one of the five “Support BenQ” boards.
I do, personally, like BenQ, so here is mine.
I have been feeling lost recently. Really, really lost.
My nine days Chinese New Year break felt a lot shorter than expected. Like always, whenever I have fun, time seems to move at a much faster pace, and this Chinese New Year break was no exception.
Yep, again, we went to Crown Casino, just like every other time I came back, I spent money and gambled a bit. After all, there is one thing I must continue to remind myself, which is, you can never beat the games at the casino. No, never, and you can never win more than you lose. It is just human nature, that when you start winning, people tend to stick around a bit longer, and by the time you realise it, you have already lost it all.
It is funny how I always try to remind myself this before I play, but at the end I still go home regretting why didn’t I stop sooner.
His name is Brendan and he is only two months old. For some reason he looks a lot bigger for a two months old infant.
Brendan is absolutely adorable and playful. It is funny but from memory, most of the infants all they do is cry and cry, but Brendan doesn’t cry much at all.
Brendan loves camera. Everytime I have the camera pointing at Brendan, he would start to smile. He is just simply gorgeous and wonderful to be around with.
On the plane coming to Melbourne, I saw this this Taiwan news listed under China section. Why? Is it because The Standard is a China newspaper?
Melbourne hasn’t changed that much since the last time I came back. There are a few new buildings, but most of the places have remained pretty much the same. I went to a Japanese grocery store and noticed they have many more flavors of Hi-Chews than the ones being sold in Taiwan.
Anyway, it is good to be with mum and dad again.
3pm is my flight, and oh my, I cannot wait to fly back and see my little nephew Brendan. I will be taking a lot of pictures for sure!
I also got my bonus today. Not a lot, but better than last year, so I have nothing to complaint about.
