hate

Hate undercertainty, unfairness, unreasonable people, and impolite people.

and... hate stubborn people too. They always think they are right, the way they think is right, and the way they see the world is right.

Shall I?

After being tortured by my boss to act like his accountant (without the title and of course, without the appropriate accountant's pay), I realized I do love accouting. I am not sure what happend back then at university, why I cannot make sense of those accounting entries. I nearly flunk my first accounting course at university while I have As for all other courses in Business. It all make perfect sense to me now after gone through 1-2 financial statements  preparation per company per year-end (yes, my boss owns like 10 companies). The fact that Canadian tax system is complicated even make me feel excited dealing each company differently. I actually love doing it!

I am thinking of getting an accounting professional certificate. Should I? Would I be too old to do that?

犹豫着呢....

hmmmmmmm.... 做不做呢？

Do I look like I have a computer degree??

One of my job function (unwritten of course), is, answer boss queries on his malfunction computer. And I hate it.

Hallloooo, which part of my resume last time said I have an MIS degree or computer related experience???

Whenever he cannot open a page, or error page occured, or hanged gei, or cannot sent out email, or got virus, or if he wants to save a page as favorite, or picture file size too big he cannot send out through email, he will ask me. I tried to hint to him this is not my area, but he kept pushing like I should know how to fix it. TIU. If I know how to fix it, you won't be able to hire me with such low cost ok!

@#$%!

很莫名其妙.

The weird thing is, unless he kena virus, most of his so called problem I am able to solve it for him. Which I hate it!!!! Oi, I am not paid to do this ok, just  because I am smart, you cannot take advantage of me! >_<"

Spring is in the air (yesterday)

Went to Stanley Park yesterday. Lot's of sunshine, but still very chilly. But it puts up smiles on people face just looking at the wild animals enjoying the sun/daily routine. They are so cute! And the flowers... hmm.. very beautiful. Don't know they grow it wild or someone planted them in the park??
This whole week will be groomy and rainy though. 好景不常??

My ah Bui!

We have an appointment with a Notary Public today at 5pm. I asked if Bui is free to give me a ride today, he said ok.

This morning, I know from past that sometimes his ears got issue, like cannot listen to my words... or my reminders, so I reminded him again, today, to be at my office at 4.30pm.

He said OK.

Just now at 4pm, I texted him to remind him to pick me up. At 4.15pm, his text came in, "I should be at your place at 4.50pm hor? I am leaving now".

Me, >_<"

Really sweat.... why my Bui like that one? Damn angry at him... sigh... SIGH!!!!!!! Gao Meng ah~~~~~~

无题

I hate winter. This year winter is super long, super cold, super windy, and super full of rain. Sigh...

Last week I saw 2 rainbows, 2 rainbows together leh. And normally the rainbow I saw before were very faint in color. But this one, 2 rainbows also very clear about the 7 colors!!! hoohooo... So happy to see rainbows. The purple color is super romantic neh~~~ hehehe..

Yawn... tomorrow is Friday. Supposed to feel happy. But then I thought of Monday, and then feel depressed again. Sigh.

la...la... la...

Please tell me why am I so busy while my boss not in office~~~ busy until I got headache, so rugi lah! tiu!!

Want to curi tulang also cannot... yiu...

I booked appointment to cut my hair across the street, tomorrow at 11am. Muahahhaa... don't care... Must do something personal so that not waste this golden opportunity. Was pretty happy since last friday because boss not here to torture me til this Thursday.

I have a small wish, I hope Air Canada on strike again tomorrow so that.... hehehehe.... wink wink... ^_*

OK... Honey moon is about to end.... by the way, my another colleague is leaving the company, got better offer and better boss, 他就好ler~~~~~~ So, left only me, the only one, to take all the shits from my boss. Let's see how long I can tahan? I recently went for an interview... apparently, I am quite valuable. I am so pumped up after the interview, regardless they hire me or not (if they hire, probably I won't go too. I had been thinking about it... Boss is great there, but then location is a bit far.. hmmm.... HMMM... well...), I feel motivated knowing I do have value in the market. But I cannot believe I feel sympathy to my boss when I know that that staff is leaving us, and I am also thinking of leaving him. Maybe he should 面壁思过, if he is good to people, people won't be leaving him ok. He is very kanasai. No wonder lah... anyway, I am angry at myself for pitying him if I do leave after that staff left. He will be alone, Who can do his stuff? Maybe he can ask his sister help him. BUT maybe there will be 家变 if that happens... well, workplace is the same as the saying 相见容易，相处难.

OK lah..... sibeh boss asked me to check him in for tomorrow's flight.... 讨厌！Sometimes I feel he should post a handicap stickers in his car, because he is "handicapped"! @#$%!

Skytrain is like a box of chocolate too, you never know who will sit around you..

People say, life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you going to get.

I say, taking skytrain is like a box of chocolate too, you never know who will sit around you. It is sometimes amusing, but most of the time annoying.

I don't know if I have a magnet or what, I always end up sitting near or around "unusual" people.

My work is at downtown, 2 stops before the terminal station. After working hour, it is a peak period, and to get comfy and be able to read decently, I will take that extra 2 stops to terminal station, and then I can choose the seat going home.

Most seats at skytrain are two-seaters. If you lucky, you get the lone-seater and nobody can kacau you, well, except if you get irritating people who stands near you. Believe me, it is no fun to sit at lone-seater at rainy days, the people standing with dripping umbrella is the worst! And some idiot, will just let their umbrella to drip right at your pants. @#$%!

Anyway, I normally get the two-seater, coz I hate being ka-ka cau-cau by standers who stand too near to the seats (lone-seater). Normally at the 1st stop, nobody will seat at the second two-seater. But afterwards, you get people filling in. That's where the interesting part comes!

I think I have magnet. I always get "unusual" seater sit next to me!!

- Yesterday, this stupid man sit next to me, he keep texting on his phone, and his text msg has this annoying loud alert when there's message coming in, and while he texting his messages, he laugh by himself, and his legs keep shaking!!!!! MEN!!!! Can I tell you that if you shake your leg at common area, for instance, like in cinema, bus, skytrain, plane, you will disturb the person whose chair shares some mechanical substance with your chair?!!! Oh Gosh, I have to stop myself from turning to him to YELL at him "QUIT SHAKING YOUR LEG!!!!". So irritating.

- 2 days ago, well this is not from the terminal stop, this is from the stop I aboard going to work from my house. Anyway, in the morning, there's seldom an empty two-seater spots (meaning both spots are empty leh). But that day, I thought I was lucky, I sat at this empty two-seater. But wtihin 5 seconds, I noticed a smell... it is those kind of smell if you go camping, you cannot wash your hair for 2-3 days... but, multiply it by 10. I think the guy in front of me did not wash his hair for 1 month. His hair is "wet".. "waxy"... "and got white spot". I don't know the white spot is dandruff or egg of something... But he is damn smelly!!!!!!! His friend sitting next to him is very clean though. They are both in their 22-23 age. Arghh.. I immediately move to the next seat. But I can still smell him!! The smell is like a curse... and then after work, I took skytrain back, and I got a feeling I sit at his same spot, the spot he sat at in the morning. Because on and off, I can still smell him!!!!! So disgusting!!!! Yucks!!!!

- One day of last month, there is this Vietnamese guy, young, I think 19-20, he was standing (so was I, in the morning, sometimes if I tersilap the hour and went out before peak hour ended, I have to stand for whole journey). I was holding onto the vertical rail. He came in 2 stops after me, and he standnig beside me. Holding the same rail. But his hand kept sliding down and touched me!!!!! Wah... this baga!!!!! I wanted to "excuse me, your hand", but before I can do that, I noticed he has something wrong. He kept shaking his body.... and then suddenly, he sing, in vietnamese language!!! LOUD. After he sang, he laughed. wah..... so scary lah... I quietly moved away from him. But luckily he got out after 3 stops.

- Also happened last month, also a crazy guy. I think he is homeless. At terminal station, we both get on the train. He sat behind me, I sat in front. And he suddenly threw newspaper at the guy sitting diagonolly of him. And then that guy speak in loud tone (but cannot figure what he speaks), and laugh at himself. I quickly moved to another seat. I cannot tahan another crazy man in the sky train. Not when I have to travel from terminal station to my place, that's 10 stops ok... the whole journey, he just keep talking loudly and keep laughing. And keep repeating the same sentence again and again. I think he really is chi xin.

Sigh... so many examples lah.... I should write a journal - My daily encouters at skytrain. 每日一则. Ha~~~~~

The Grey

We watched this movie at home last night.

It is about a plane crashes in Alaska, seven oil workers are led by a skilled huntsman to survival, but a pack of merciless wolves haunts their every step. At the end, everyone mampus - eaten by wolves.

When it was 死剩 one last man, after he failed to save his last mate at the river, that man shouted at the sky (at Jesus more correctly), to ask Him to show him a sign! To save him! But nothing happens. And after all the effort of survival, long walk along the river hoping to reach a village, that last man, actually wander into the wolves den instead. It was such a sad ending. More like 命运弄人. Imagine, after you put in all your effort, walk until feet also feels numb and pain, you reached your enemy home!! What a joke.

This movie further reinforces my believe now - There's no God. If there is God, He won't let all these happens, survived from plane crash and eaten by wolves? Come on! If there is a God, He won't let Tsunami happened and killed so many people, and even worse, those survived, is now facing the threats of radioactive for the next 30 years. What a 命运弄人. By the way, it was an anniversary for them, March 11th 2011 was the begining of their nightmare. More 矛盾, I was reading 南京大屠杀 lately... so, if there is God, would He allowed those 350,000 chinese people died in just that 6 weeks?? In such cruel way?

Do you still believe there's Jesus up there??

Buy and Hold

Saw this on a line at moneysense.ca (my favorite magazine in Canada here), the joke is so funny, I have gotta share with you:)

....

"
Your eyes open slowly, and the light stings your retinas. Your mouth is burning with thirst, your muscles hopelessly weak. You’re in a hospital room, surrounded by an anxious medical team. “Welcome back,” says the doctor with an uneasy smile.
“What happened?” you manage, the words catching in your parched throat.
“You were in a terrible car accident: you were hit by a bus,” the doctor says gently. “You’ve been in a coma.”
“How long?”
The doctor glances nervously at her colleagues. “A long time, I’m afraid.” She pauses again. “Three years.”
It takes a few seconds for this to sink in. Three years? Your mind is filled with just one urgent question. “I gotta know, Doc. Give it to me straight. How have the markets been doing?”
Again the doctor looks nervously at the rest of the medical team, and they avert their eyes. “I’m sorry,” she says. “It’s been an absolutely terrible time to invest—the worst I’ve ever experienced. Europe is on the verge of collapse. The U.S. government is a financial basket case—it even had its credit rating downgraded. Japan had a terrible tsunami that caused a nuclear disaster. Iran may go to war with the U.S. Interest rates are at all-time lows. People are saying gold will hit $10,000 an ounce. And it looks like the Leafs will miss the playoffs again this season.”
You’re devastated by the news. The last thing you remember before that bus struck your car on March 8, 2009, was listening to a radio report about how “investors are potentially standing on the precipice of another Great Depression.” In fact, you were planning to sell your whole Couch Potato portfolio and move to cash as soon as you got home. But you never made it, and now it’s too late: the nightmare has come true. You must be wiped out.
Pulling yourself up in the bed, you demand that someone hand you a laptop, and you go online to read the bad news for yourself. You go to the iShares website and check the three-year annualized returns on several of your index funds, and here’s what you find:

iShares S&P/TSX Capped Composite	18.7%
iShares S&P/TSX SmallCap	29.3%
iShares S&P/TSX Capped REITs	37.0%
iShares DEX Universe Bond	7.0%
iShares DEX Real Return Bond	15.8%

That can’t be right, you think. The doctor said that the last three years have been the most difficult in recent memory. But these returns look like they’re right out of the 1990s bull market. “I guess Canada made it through unscathed,” you think. Then you tap the keyboard and visit Vanguard to see how the international markets did, expecting to see blood spill from the screen. But what’s this?

Vanguard Total Stock Market	26.7%
Vanguard Small-Cap	33.3%
Vanguard MSCI EAFE	20.1%
Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets	32.3%

“Doc, you must have been mistaken,” you say. But when you glance up from the screen you see the doctor is frantically trying to resuscitate the patient in the next bed. “Clear!” she shouts as she zaps him with the defibrillator. His body jerks violently, then slumps motionless. “Again!” she shouts, hitting the patient with another charge. But the heart monitor shows a flat line—it’s too late. “He’s gone,” the doctor intones.
“Who was that guy?” you ask.
“That was Byan Hold (buy and hold!). I’m afraid he’s dead.”
You take one more look at your laptop screen, still trying to reconcile the numbers with the doctor’s account of the past three years and the corpse in the next bed. Finally, it comes to you in a moment of clarity—you’ve figured out the secret of investment success.
“Hey, Doc,” you say. “Do me a favour, will you? Put me back in the coma.”

It's Weekend

It's Weekend.... (Not happy, because stock market close, and I don't have the "uhhhm" feeling in the morning to feel chi gek and take a ride with daily ups and downs)

Sigh..... why every thing is double edge sword ge leh?

p/s: I always tune in my alarm clock so it will go off half an hour before my "wish-wake-up" time. Then I snooze it for about 5-6 times before it reached my "critically late if you don't wake up" time. Then lately I realized if I snoozed it for more than the maximum time, it will just keep quiet until I woke up and saw the clock time and yelled "SHIT I AM LATE!!!!!! DAMN U ALARM CLOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ah Bui always laugh at this drama scene. I think my alarm clock hates me. It's a revenge time for it.

I am late for work for 1 hour today.
