Being careful

Came back from work today at 1am, left for work at 6am...

NTUC Income insurance unhappiness

Happily, the van thing should be resolved (at some cost to myself, which is what I deserve), although sad to say the motorcyclist who accused and claimed against me for "causing" him to lose control and fall down and claimed INJURY and MEDICAL CLAIMS despite being an NSF has bitten me with a 1k insurance hike in premium for one time, and a reduction in NCD.

In the year during his case my premium went up by 1k and it was refundable after the case was concluded. But, apparently 2 years onwards after making me visit the lawyer several times, without consulting me or even informing me, NTUC Income had decided to unilaterally settle the case on my behalf (up till now I still don't know how the thing ended, none of the service staff are actually able to tell me) and hence without a fight and without any knowledge even I am saddled by a 1k penalty because of that ridiculous claim.

I am very unhappy that NTUC failed to consult or even inform me about their actions and just made the decision to forfeit the money for me. I suspect most of the money actually ended up paying the lawyers rather than the "injured" NSF.

Mishap

There was a chap in the office who after a drinking session rode his scooter and got hit by a taxi. Thankfully he just fell on the floor and the scooter fell on his arm he's now in hospital. The taxi-driver knew that he was drunk so struck a bargain with him not to claim injuries and in return he wouldn't actually report he was drunk. The chap was left on the bus-stop until some other office people came to send him to hospital.

So, be careful now chaps, especially my friends who ride.

Ok ppl are streaming into the office now.

Take care folks and the Lord be with you in your thoughts, actions and daily life.

Exams are over

Not that it makes a huge difference... been working for almost 2 weeks by now.... its like everyday after a get home i'm so tired i just sleep after lying on the bed for a while...

But today was special, had my last exam - CSI! went swimming after that too - shiok. Got filmed by ChannelNewsAsia with Jeremy before that too. That's this tuesday 8.30pm on CNA. Something about Marine Engineering degree...

Got my brother from tekong (he has POC! Now ORD left...) Had lunch. Ran some errands. But quite tired now cause only slept 4 hours last night...

Got home, wanted a nice drink but... the ring tab broke. Nevermind. Use can-opener. Somehow all I do is crush the can. Nevermind. punch 2 holes and pour in cup. Then all the juice squirts all over the kitchen.

Seem to be driving faster nowadays. Maybe its because I'm rushing the errands as its for work. Or because I feel richer. My car's aircon actually feels really cold when you step on the accelerator real hard. Floored it through a red light camera junction when it was amber. Acceleration with aircon on: super fan-ying-chi-dun. The transmission kickdown itself already takes so long. Then still must wait wait wait. Sian. No Honda Integra. Ha.

Be back later... I've got lots of stuff to settle! By the way, if any are interested for a driving holiday to Malaysia lets do discuss!

May the Lord have mercy on all our souls! Amen!

Sentimental

Wow its been a long while since I've actually downed a real blog entry. Work's been quite interesting and time really really flies when you're doing OT and all that...

Went out for a nice beer session with simon and some cs girls 2 nights ago... thanks for the treat! Haven't driven about at night for quite some time already... although I got really disoriented and took unneeded detours and reroutes...

Dropped EC and JK off after that... JK stays in Tampines just opposite where I used to live along the MRT tracks... all that nostalga came back and we lamented genuine tyre swings, playgrounds with real sand et al.

My brother booked out early this weekend on friday night... we had pizza in TM and lamented more of childhood days too... he catching stuff in the longkang

Dad called from Cambodia and I gave him an update of what's been going on...

Just finished watching "I am Sam" ... very long movie... but very touching... wanted to cry... go see it yourself if you want to know why... (saw the Alfred Hitchcock effect too)

btw, Huiyi's blog is coming online soon will link it when she's done.

Goodnight~and God bless

Sighz

1st day of work : got fined $30
2nd day of work: scratched a van and have to repair it

Cheesy stuff

Life without you would be like a broken pencil - ?

dies irae

Oh my goodness its a purple 'old man' S-class Mercedes! The paintwork, wheels and clear side indicators are really nice and funky too! Excellent 2 tone colour coordination with nice silver trimmings too. Can you say shagadelic :)


Anyway the 301 studying is progressing at a snail's pace basically its kinda like repeating itself over and over again... ... ... those vague management modules... and the textbook reads like the author was paid by the word... redundant... nice diagrams and charts and tables too (marketing / business people love using these)

Condolences to Jan... take care

Islam and the Bible

1 GE exam over... IC0103 E-Commerce... Wrote quite a lot of rubbish basically... I really should not have skipped any of the lectures. I ended up turning up half an hour early by mistake too...

and also, some wise-crack who sped up when i changed into his lane almost crashed into me when i braked because all the cars in front were braking just at the point he was tailgating me super-closely just to be childish... he panicked so much that he jammed the brake till i could see his car slide off half a lane to the side... well... hot-headedness....



WANT to listen to a sermon on Islam vis-a-vis Christianity based on their source of revelation? http://media05.sa-media.com/sermons020/2105131317.mp3

Islam as described through the Koran...compared with Christianity through the Bible

its not politically correct but its honest so be careful... thought it'll be appropriate for this festive season... take note that he speaks in generalizations...

Thank God for seeing me through these weeks meanwhile....

Amen
