  • a weekend to remember~

    It started out really bad. Late Friday afternoon we realised that our payroll/time customisations were not robust enough to allow us to run off-cycle any time we want. Seeing how we discovered this after the fact, we had to reverse postings and results for 3 off cycle runs, for roughly 26K employees each. And…

  • reminiscence: visions of escaflowne

    Visions of Escaflowne was one of the first animes I’ve ever watched. It’s engaging story and animation is probably the foremost reason why I’m into anime today. I just suddenly felt like listening to some of its songs… Enjoy~ Maaya Sakamoto – Yakusoku wa Iranai [audio:yakusokuwairanai.mp3] Maaya Sakamoto – Tomodachi [audio:tomodachi.mp3]

  • macam-macam ada…

    Server was constantly hanging this morning, right after I restarted my torrents after clearing some space on the drives. Further checks revealed that it hangs during an fsck check on one of the 250GB drives, so I might actually have some bad sectors on it. Sigh, guess I’ll have to get another drive and…

  • gold coast!

    A quick rundown of what was up in the Gold Coast and Brisbane:- Arrived in Brisbane Int’l Airport close to midnight. Fish’s parents/uncles/aunties came to pick us up. Weather was pretty rotten; t’was cold and windy with unpredictable rains (supposedly part of a once-in-a-100-year deluge). Took a drive straight back to Labrador, a small…

  • lament of the highborne

    The exact origins of “Lament of the Highborne” have been lost to antiquity. Certainly the melody pre-dates the War of the Ancients, in which the song served as a lament for the fallen: a tribute to their steadfast bravery against overwhelming odds. Millennia later, the high elves of Quel’Thalas sang the lament, largely unaltered,…

  • epitome of style? 0_0

    I AM65%JAZZTake the Transformers Quiz Jazz picked his sports car form because it’s the epitome of style. If there’s one thing he digs about Earth, it’s human culture. Like Jazz, you are good by nature. But beware because mischievous thoughts sometimes tempt you. Your leadership skills are weak at best. You will never be…

  • cooling down

    One thing good abt the puasa month is that you just can’t stay pissed for long. Besides, I think I’ve bashed myself up enough already. And yeah, cursing Murphy and his law doesn’t really help me either. Life without Phoenix has been interesting. A lil boring, but interesting nonetheless. Finding myself in the living…
