Long sleepless Day and Tom Thumb Shopping

Dear Blog,


Sunset to Sunrise, Work and work and work

I have been working since yesterday 3pm in the afternoon till early morning 8am today. Its the first day of work after a long long break since last thursday. It seems that all the work load from the break we have for Thursday and Friday have been accumulated and suddenly thrown at us yesterday like a big molten lava from a fiery volcano. So nothing is free I see. Due to my recent Lasik sugery not so long ago, my eyes are already feeling really tired in the middle of the morning work at 3am. Have to substain myself through all of it with constant use of eye drops to refresh those tired eyes, its like steroids to keep things going.

Have been hopping from one Aircraft to another, fixing this and that. The whole hanger was like the movie E.R (Emergency Rescue, about Hospital Emergency room), bustling with activity in the middle of the cold winter morning and night as we try to fix up one bird after another. Was really frustrated this morning when I realise one of the aircraft we attempt to fix up did not respond well. What a wasted effort on my teams part. Bo Bian, have to hand over the sick bird to the morning shift to respond to.

...its not about the aircraft rect that is problematic, working on aircraft is never a problem to me cause thats my Passion...its SBAB MC and HQ chasing after the report and my poor boss have to both handle them and handle the physical word. Makes me not wanna be in their shoes. We are working our shit out here and they keep on pestering for the report. I hope the Singapore higher management will just give us our own time to throughly investigate the rectification and give a better, complete and useful report rather than just pushing us for it. Want quantity time but not quality report...how can? They expect things to be a snap of a finger when we only have so few guys and time. Seriously Ai Pi Ai Qi Ai Tua Liap Ni ( Want Cheap, Want Good and Want Big Big tits).

Guess I was more on auto-pilot mode during the early morning work than human mode. Felt like a poor lubricated robot with rusty joins as the hours get longer and longer. This is call fatigue and its one of the dirty dozens that leads to something unpleasent. Reached home after driving down the wrong highway and fall flat on my bed sleeping like a pig...

Free gift! Thank you "Tom Thumb"


You know what the best part about not doing grocery at Walmart? Walmart is HUGE and sometimes just too big that it frighten me away. And its so crowded sometimes, shelf are untidy and getting from one point to another is more like a walking exercise. Yes, it got everything you can think of but when it comes to pure grocery shopping and quality product, the neighbourhood Tom Thumb Store is the way to go. Neat shelf, great cooked food, friendly stuff and if you take a bit of effort with the store advertisement, there are stuff which actually sell cheaper than the Walmart. Whats even better is the atmosphere, since most people head out to Walmart, Tom Thumb turns out to be much more quiet and less crowded. Easier to manuver the shopping trolley and have peace and quiet enjoying the grocery shopping. The nice christmas music playing throughout the store further relaxes the mood. Its all about Quality shopping right here.

And at less the staff looks much more cheerful and professional right here. Much more personalised to service and not the "Check and Go" or "Self Service" type found in Walmart. Listen to this, they actualy have a guy helping you to load you stuff onto trolley and offer to push it to your car for you and that really deserve a 1 dollar tips.

Heres something lagi better... the eye drop shown below is selling at 50% off MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) originally price at US$9.17. Its a good deal for I am using eye drop like drinking water so far.


Instead of ringing up 4.99 at the cash register, they charged me US$9.17 instead. Highlighted the price difference to them and the customer service staff at the store decided to give me the eye drop for free! Got my US$9.17 back and got a bottle of eye drop for free!
