      no no no..

      he's v bias one..

      how ? ... I like his style of shaming bond breakers .......

      I fully support that ......

      especially for foreigners who come in here, get a free education, and then spit and leave ....

      they should set up a registry of bond breakers or something in NUS, so when potential employers come along to verify their qualifications, can dish up the dirt on them ......

      or better yet, invalidate their degrees .....

    • its amazing the kind of sloth I have to deal with. ask people to do simple things like shifting a fucking table the fucker will also get the building maintenance banglas to do...which means waiting until the banglas have some free time...which means something that will otherwise take 10 minutes will take up to 3 days! I'm like...you're a kar gia yourself,this is in fact your job, why do you keep taking advantage of other people when you can do it yourself. and this person wonders why her peers have been promoted while she hasn't.

      the piston should not be poking out at all .... hmmmm ..... shouldn't it be retracted ? ...

      you sure you followed the right part number ? ..icon_lol.gif

       

       

      The news pads are generically sized, but they fit the caliper frame perfectly. It's just that the caliper couldn't swing down and over the new pads as the piston was sticking out too much. The piston had apparently self-adjusted outward to compensate for the wear on the old pads.

      I put the original pads back in for the time-being. I'll try again this weekend with a C-clamp.

      because look at the kind of help I have! delegating only works if you have someone competent to delegate to! I actually get things done faster when I do their work and my own myself!

      If its a big table, and she can't move it by herself... then its understandable..

      But if its like a coffee table.. its faster to move urself la..

      Actually, the winter beater's on its last gasp. I bought it new in 1995, and cars generally don't last long with the sand and salt used on the roads here in winter.

      If all goes according to plan, I'll be junking the existing winter beater later this year, getting an '09 Nissan Altima Coupe as my new summer vehicle, and relegating my existing summer car (an '02 Sentra SE-R) to winter beater duty.

      he's been eyeing ham murderer's job for quite a while.

      anyway think long term. after you train them, assuming they can work, they will help to reduce workload
