Well, not bad. Better than expected so I have nothing to complaint about.

I am so sick and tired of my current job. It is getting so shit that I do not think it is worth it to continue much longer. I need some serious advice and need them quick,
I was told of my bonus for this year. I must admit, the amount isn’t too bad. Actually, much better than my original expectation. Perhaps it was because I got shit all from the last two years, but then again, more the better!
Looks like I can finally spend some money over Chinese New Year now!
Well, although its not much, but its something.
I won’t say the number , but in percentage term, but its almost half of the last pay increase I had which was two years ago.
It is shit, but better than nothing.

New Toy
BenQ held the annual appreciation dinner yesterday. I was lucky enough to win a new toy for myself, an ebook!
Yep, once again it is made by BenQ, and its likely to be full of problems as it is a new product.
Then again, I cannot complaint too much, as it is the third year that I was actually picked to win something over the last three annual appreciation dinners. 2007 was a crappy mobile phone, 2008 was a digital camera and this year, an ebook.
Like every other year, I will end up selling this.
If you like to know what it looks like, here it is:
I am not the kind of person who would just think about changing job.
Recently, I have been contemplating, am I really happy with my current job?
Pay, average. Work load, huge. Pressure, yes and no. Overtime, definiately.
This year is also my fifth year tenture. Not sure if I should put it as a compliment, or a time to reflect what I have done for this company over the last five years and if I should work here for another five years, or head out.
Strangely enough, I took out the same resume which I applied for my current job. An outdated resume, of course. I started revising it, like a journal, I started adding different accolades and achievement from the last five years.
Saved the file, and updated on job listing website.
I am not happy with current pay, and want a better job with shorter hours. Maybe it is time for me to move on.
My wife was lucky enough to win herself a new bicycle from a company event yesterday.
The chances were small, but I guess it was her day, and took the top prize.
It’s a small bicycle, the exact model is a 6-speed Giant FD806. Nothing really fancy about it, but it is still good to have, at least it is something I can use to get me around places without the need of walking long distance, or driving.
My wife, on the other hand, wants to get rid of the bicycle. I don’t blame her, because stupid management people at work is practically forcing people to buy bicycles and join them on their weekly bicycle rides. I promised myself not to buy a bicycle because personally I thought it would be a waste of money just to ride with them, and a waste of time too. Now I have a bicycle, so I guess I cannot have anymore excuses now.
Still, I have no complaint, a new bicycle is better than nothing. Maybe I will post some pictures once I get it.

Lost my HDD
Yep, everything from the last four years, all gone. To make things worse, the HDD I lost isn’t from the home computer, but from my work laptop.
This is a nightmare, it really is.
I received an offer from my Australian subsidary to work there.
Given the current exchange rate, the salary is double of what I am getting now. It is a handsome number. They even kind enough to offer my wife a job too, although the pay isn’t as good, but still higher than what she is getting now.
A great, great opportunity.
I contempated, but finally decided to turn it down.
Strange enough, although the decision is made up, I cannot stop thinking about it. Maybe in a few years time and look back again, then I know if this decision was a hit or a miss.

4 Years, All Gone
My HDD went dead. It was my work laptop too.
I am so doomed. 4 years worth of stuff, my important report prepared for my boss on Monday, all gone.
Maybe I should just resign.
