Point to point

On the eve of the eve of the eve of Lunar New Year, we had our dept lunch at some uluated restaurant where I got a lift to Newton MRT and bumped into the same colleagues at lunch who took a bus there.

And so, my colleague and I were both heading home to Dakota stn and I've made some calculation of stops and turns out if I take to Bishan, the MRT will make 2 less stops than making the interchange at Dhoby Gaut. But bumping into that friend at the station, we were discussing on which route will be better when another chipped in to have us take different routes to find that out. And so we took on the challenge, me to Bishan and he to Dhoby Gaut.

Its interesting how the circle line gives us an additional option to travel point to point, yet makes travelling so complicated as another commented there is not one direct route to a location anymore.

Turns out that I lost, as although the Bishan route takes two less stops, the in-between travelling time, (esp the Bishan - x - Serangoon) is longer.

Hence, take the Dhoby route!

And I thought ..

Last year was bad..

With all the, "solve this for ops mgr or proj will not move!"
To, "they dun do then who do? we need the asset to do our test!"

But this year, following all rules and regs. Being so obedient to mgt's expectations, i feel that i've done so much more in the past two months than the past year. That's what I got from trying to write my SAF - staff appraisal form.

But no, its not cos the things closer are clearer in my mind. I have been noting my daily tasks for the year and really, i've basically been doing inconclusive tasks for the past year as compared to now. and also, of course having to do alot more now too cos my HCD puts simply "I cant find anyone to hire" what can I say?

And finally i've reached the phase past what my colleagues have been experiencing since the day i joined - 'i want to quit'.
