Now that my contract is ending in Sep, I have been thinking if I should try other field to see if I can gain a new perspective and ignite a new passion. I have been in IT for 20+ years, it all started with a passion to learn more about hardware, software, network, programming, solve technical problems, every difficult problem I solved, I always felt that I leveled up, I mean I still feel a sense of achievement these days but it kind of feels different, or maybe I got older. I tried various roles, various industries, various projects, different companies, but it's always the same old shit, like people shitting in toilet and don't bother to flush for months and years, and I always have to go in to clean the whole toilet, that whole few years of shit, and I'm just getting a single person's salary. Not sure if people understand this, but for a car to run smoothly, every part has to work well, same goes for any system, any project, some people keep the whole car clean and ni...

So she wanted to find out how come I asked for 15-20% increment, so I shared with her the current situation, people leaving, expanded job scope and etc and she also surprised that I'm the one and only engineer left and she asked if there will be new people coming in I told her got interview one guy but not confirm also because that guy is a foreigner so need to clear another security level even if we want to hire him so it's like 50-50, then also not sure if there will be another guy coming in since 2 engineers tendered. Then she told me it's impossible to get 15-20% increment so I told her I will not renew the contract and I will work until Sep, then she said even though she said impossible but let her check with the company, I also told her that 15-20% was when one guy tendered, now that another guy tendered and there's no certainty of hiring people, I am asking for 25% increment instead. Then she said don't close the chapter yet, let her check, haha, I told her s...

The guy who got an offer submitted his resignation today with 1 month notice, so officially only left me the one and only engineer and two useless managers. Now if I renew my contract it means I have to tank everything and also do the jobs of the two useless managers, so essentially I will be doing 5 person job, asking for only 15-20% sounds absolutely stupid right now. Time to update my resume, even if they pay me 100% more I also can't do so many things and do 24x7x365 standby duty, crazy, now it's not a matter of increment anymore, ship sank, time to get the hell out, heng my contract ending in Sep so no need to tender or anything, just let it lapse lol.

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2025/10/almost-1-month-into-new-job.html My one year contract with this company ends in Sep 2026, recently the HR reached out to me regarding contract renewal and I told her my current job scope is quite huge so I want a pay raise, she asked me how much, I told her I want 15%-20% more, she say she will let her manager know. I think I should have asked for 25%-30% more, the job scope is seriously ridiculous and the managers are completely useless, non-existent and delegate everything out, machiam like paralysed patient lying on bed waiting to be spoon-fed, no wonder people call this company a retirement home, a lot of jiak liao bee here. One guy already tendered another guy already got an offer and should be tendering soon, so whole team only left me the only engineer and these two useless managers, the fact that there's 2 managers and 3 engineers tells a lot. If they offer 15%, I will take it and renew another year, if not just move on, I...

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2026/03/coinbase-perpetual-futures.html It's been about 4 months or so since I started playing with perpetuals, been trading with BTC and ETH but mostly BTC since it is the most stable among all crypto. Made many mistakes but fortunately still managed to make a profit of US$16,689.68. It's all about capital, market direction, positioning and patience, a lot of patience, many people get wrecked because they open positions of 10x or even 25x, the higher you go, the easier it is to get liquidated, so I try to keep my leverage around 2x to slightly over 3x.

Today went to take my tooth implant dental crown mold, paid $850. 2 weeks later to put on the crown.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f13HINY_6RY So attacking Iran is merely a distraction from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files and accused of raping and threatening to kill children. There was no imminent nuclear threat, there is an imminent threat of Donald Trump getting exposed! Transcript taken from YouTube: Uh so why uh are Republicans so interested in Bill and Hillary Clinton? It's because they're trying to distract from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times . In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children . So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations. And I'm highly disturbed that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch just got the law wrong. Yesterday he said essentially that it is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, that's actually not correct. If Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors ...

We finally put Covid-19 behind us and I thought things might just get better albeit inflation will never go away and then this idiot Donald Trump decided to attack Iran and create a global energy crisis out of nothing. Where's the imminent nuclear threat from Iran? None. Nil. NA. Non-existent. Only in the idiot's own imagination. Now WTI crude is at US$113, high oil price will lead to high inflation, everything will just get more even more expensive from now on. Also there's the suspicious trading activity before the idiot makes an announcement, I wonder if him or his family is doing insider trading. And the idiot is saying he wants to attack Iran's power plants, what a stupid f**king clown, clearly he is insane and should be immediately arrested and locked away before he cause even more damage. Donald Trump, you are a useless stupid f**king idiot clown, please choke on your own shit and die immediately.

From Kris Marszalek's X account, so they are pivoting to "enterprise-wide AI", people who don't fit in is getting fired. We are joining the list of companies integrating enterprise-wide AI. Companies that do not make this pivot immediately will fail. Companies that move slowly will be left behind. Companies that move immediately and pair the best AI tools with top-performers will achieve a level of… — Kris | ai.com (@kris) March 19, 2026 Meanwhile their ai.com is still in limbo as of 20 Mar 2026, not sure why they paid so much for a domain name and delivered a lame-looking site that only enables the user to login and does nothing else. Not sure how their business is doing, probably still doing well thanks to revenues from their exchange and app, but their Cronos chain is struggling, transactions getting lower and lower, their zkEVM chain is as good as dead. They still have another POS chain where its only purpose is to print more CRO, can't really understand why ...
