Citibank Sweetness!

After signing the contract with Citibank the day before yesterday, I returned to Mellinia Tower yesterday to summit all the forms to the HR officer. Citibank HR Dep is located in level 33 and they have a very nice view over the bay.

Another one from a different angle.

Unfortunately I will not be working there, I have to take 45mins MRT every morning to Tampines Junction. What am I thinking?

After that I went to Citibank Esplanade Branch to open a staff account and I met this young india lady who was given the same position the day before, so we will be colleagues in the next year at least! She has married with 2 children and her whole family have moved here, including her parents. It is always a nice thing to know more about your future working environment and colleagues beforehand.

The staff bank account application went pretty smoothly. Because I will be a Citibank sfaff soon, I naturally had a conversation with this officer Daniel about how life would be in this company, etc. He asked me whether I had any saving or investment plan and gave some advice to me when he heard no. So as the first contribution to the company that I had not yet started working for, I decided to join a 25yr saving plan. Daniel introduced another speciallist Mr Tng, whose wife happens to be working in Citibank as well and holds the same position as me! This is the second colleague that I have known today, and I haven't started to work yet! What a wonderful day! It seems that they have some gifts for all the saving plan partispants. I was given two opitions to choose: iPod shuffle or Sony Walkman Mp3. I chose iPod Shuffle, obviously!

I spotted these cute candies on the table there, and I took three of them back. What a kind of "Citibank Sweetness!".

When I was done there, I went to Republic Plaza for a medical check. Only when did I realized that my day had just started! It took me half an hour to figure out how to get to level 29 and it took another 3 hours to finish all the examation, which includes one hour lunch break! The most astound news is that my vision is only 6/10 now and the doctor recommended glasses! No...I will never wear that piece of shit! I will try to take more care of my eyes and give them more time to rest instead.

I returned home around 4 pm and slept until 8. Then I went to Wuvist's home after that and that is another long story which I am not going to tell here.

ok

okok

I got a new job!

After so many interviews and months of frusration, I finally got a job in Citi Group as Regional Investment & Treasuary Ops Officer. Start to work next monday! Got a lot of form to fill up tonight!

That's it! I though that I would talk a lot about it, but when it comes, I really don't have anything to say about it! I prefer to stay calm and enjoy my easy days left before I start to work.

He has some foresight and creativity!

I am shocked by this picture when I was browsing my Picasa galley. Does it remind you of anything? Yes, Quick Look in Leopard(bellow). Apple just makes it better in a real Leopard style.

It was a fake picture about Leopard back in Aug 2006, when no one knows anything about what we would get from Leopard. It was done by Eric Patterson during a fake leopard screenshot contest. I don't know if Apple copied his idea or not, but in either way, he does have some foresight and creativity!

It's A Beautiful Day

Today is a very beautiful day, with the sun shining all over the place, from the very deep of my heart, to the very top of the blue sky!

Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

No Feeding of Cats.

Can anyone tell me why?

I am not a pet lover, but if the government really thinks that it is not a good idea to leave so many wild cats out there, why don't they just get them captured and killed? I think that would be better rather than telling people not to feed them.

I don't like pets for a very simple reason: keeping pets is not the way you should treat animals, no matter what kind of feeling you have on them. If you are an animal lover, don't you feel guilty for keeping an active life under your control and preventing it to breathing the fresh air of freedom? If you are someone like me who believe biological competition, then I don't see the difference between pigs and cats, or dogs. So if you are a carnivorous person, meaning you eat certain kind of meat, please don't be so hysterical when you see other people eating dogs or cats. I won't treat them any differently unless I see the point of doing so for the sake of my own benefit. So I cannot understand those people who blame Korean for dog eating while they can eat other kind of meat themselves. I am a dog meat lover myself. Let me tell you this: they are delicious!

Btw, where did these wild cats in Singapore come from at the first place?

Gmail: 4328MB Storage and IMAP!

One of my gmail account has a storage of 4328MB now, while another account has IMAP support now! It seems that IMAP support is on the way out. But how about the 4328 MB storage? Is it a common practice or just for a fraction of all users?

Some people may say that I would never used out all the storage, so 4328 MB is no different from 2000MB. Well, if you are a Gmail regular user, you may want to take back your words. When I first started to use gmail, I though 2GB is more than enough, but when my usage was up to 1GB, I started to think that 2GB is still a little bit small. So I have this strong believe that there will be one day that I feel 4328MB is still too small.

Update:I am pretty sure that this 4328 MB is not solely due to the Infanity+1 Plan, because according to that plan, my Gmail should only have 2916 MB  as shown bellow:
