STREAMYX SUCKS

=rant for the day=
what does the 's' in streamyx stand for?

s = SUCKS

i don't think a day even passes without my connection going down for no apparent reason. and as of date... it's been TWO WHOLE DAYS now that i cannot get online. some DSL problem which has been plaguing my house for like the longest time ever.

i wonder when will the service ever improve. perhaps it's time to stop the monopoly and allow OTHER BROADBAND PROVIDERS to enter the market. then at least... there'll be competition and better service provider wins. HOPEFULLY streamyx would then buckle up. HOPEFULLY.
*tall hopes*

perhaps it's time to stop paying every month for my broadband services. i hardly EVER get to use my broadband for a month. give or take... after deducting the days i CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET... it'll probbly amount to HALF A MONTH. i don't quite see the point in paying for a month's worth of internet connectivity when i can only access the internet for HALF THE MONTH.

hmm...

anyways... STREAMYX SUCKS. i'm so going to change providers the moment i have a choice.

=work=
april suddenly became a CRAZY month for me. one of the files i was working on was closing... another threatened to close... and yet another WANTED to close end of this month.

but all's well and i'm glad to announce that the deal i was working on since january has finally entered the debt capital market! we had a signing ceremony on 25 april 2007 and it was so cool to see the number 2 bigshots around.

learnt so much about private debt issuances and i even drafted the information memorandum! eee... so proud of myself. though it wasn't without much difficulty and loads of help and guidance.

but i rejoiced a tad too early for the fact that the deal is finally closing and i would be less busy. my boss decided to have me work with her only on another deal. a syndication. OMG.

finally got my final review... was a month overdue but i really didn't mind. getting confirmation only just meant that my notice period increases from one month to TWO MONTHS!!! *sigh* oh wells... at least i know i haven't screwed up bad enough for my boss to NOT WANT ME. she didn't write anything bad in the review! does that mean i'm good? but i feel like i'm really lousy... is she just being really nice considering that i would see the review? *doubts*

=life=
quite a few things happened..... amongst others...

17 March 2007

what involves lotsa green, lotsa black drink, lotsa cheerful tunes, lotsa gorgeous blue eyes and lotsa merry-making?




ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!

well, in malaysia's case, no gorgeous blue eyes were seen but... much to jian's delight...




...lotsa pretty guiness girls!


24 March 2007

what involves more green, a ball, 11 men a side, a stadium full of fans and lots more in pubs, bars, restaurants, mamaks, at home?




THE UEFA CUP!!!

the cup was at the curve that day and i still don't see what's the hype about it considering the crowd there that day. lotsa sweaty stinky men gasping and queueing to see the cup to touch the cup. it's just a freaking cup. and a plain boring old one at that.




one hell of a long foosball table...

and to jian's further excitement...




...jojo struys... what's so chun about her anyways? her voice is so damn whiny and screeching it irritates the hell out of me. and she's a host... *nosebleed*


7 April 2007

and again... much to jian's excitement and insistence...

what's on every weekdays morning, cracks one up whilst driving to work?




yups... at jian's insistence since we were at 1u that day, we had to go see the hitz.fm birthday bash awhile...

btw... i just noticed in jian's pic...

post-edit
my deepest condolences to jian and family... 27 April 2007. he's in a happier place now peaceful and free from pain and suffering. even though i met him only a few times and he was not the man he used to be, he was still cheeky and i daressay... he's probbably up to mischief right now. =)
*hugs*
