Sunburn and Sunflower Seeds..

Hmm.. my entries have become more sporadic as the days go by. Somehow putting in entries doesn’t belong anywhere in my Work or Play schedule.

Work: Been answering a lot of calls and making a lot of calls. Sigh, people just don’t take e-mail seriously. Especially the old lot. This remnant-of-a-broken-project should be done end of this month.. so hopefully things will look up then (woohoo more training!).

Play: Battlefield 1942. Finished the Allied campaign a few days ago. Now to play the good guys. Er, I mean the bad guys. Bah, who can tell these days?

A nice old couple we met during the coronation ball invited us to sail on their yacht last weekend. It was great! It’s nice having the sun on your skin after a long while. So nice that I didn’t put on any sunblock and got scorched. Ahh.. I look like a brown tapir now. Well, at least my cheeks look rosy. 😛 Pics to come!

Did I mention I watched The Hot Chick the weekend before? Great movie for a good laugh after a week of corporate slavery.

And what of sunflower seeds? I just like ’em. Yum!

忘れた~

Sigh.. there was so many things I wanted to post, but never the opportunity to. Work’s been awfully tough, with me having to call people all over the nation to get them to do some work! (Of course, can’t just have me working by myself..)

I seem to be awfully cranky today… moody one might say.. but I can’t help it.. there’s just so many things going on that it’s becoming slower to switch from one task to another. Sure, call it management, but that is about knowing what’s happening, not doing them. This, of course, is management in the corporate sense of the word.

Cranky plus tired… maybe I’m coming down with something. Might’ve been that lobster I had Monday night.

Would you like some coffee with that?

Minutes. Meeting MINUTES. Why, of all people, should I take down the MINUTES? Was it because of my coo’ computer tie that the Chairman picked me? Was it because I was talking to young ladies just before the meeting? Sigh.

Well, here you go. 16 minuted items summarised in one 7-page document. You like that? Tell me you do. I’ll gladly spam your mailbox with more. Yeah.. MINUTES. Good ol’ finger lickin’ MINUTES.

That was Saturday morning. Didn’t do much in the afternoon, cuz I was so sleepy since I woke up too early to send my bro to his Sports Day. It was tough trying to keep awake to take the MINUTES.

So Sunday came, and it was my lil bro’s birthday! Hooray, happy birthday! Hopefully you won’t need to take any MINUTES as you grow older. Well, we spent the whole day at Sunway Pyramid, doing all sorts of fun things. I was so tempted to join some games competition that they were having at PlayWorld, but I lacked the console gaming skillz required. Also had a good look at the Vaio 505P. Now that’s what I call a notebook. Hot damn!

Monday. Attended a boring presentation by IBM on e-learning. Even the speaker admitted it was boring. Yeah, the presentation took on a classroom approach with a teacher-centralised scenario (some of the jargon I learnt). They should’ve just e-mailed us all a link to their e-learning website. That’s what e-learning is about, isn’t it?

After that, I put away all my other important duties and tasks to work on the MINUTES. Yeah, it’s so fun. As I work on it, I kept wondering, why MINUTES? Why not HOURS or SECONDS? Maybe I’ll look into it later. But I’ll probably forget, since the MINUTES are done and it won’t be fun any longer without doing any MINUTES.

Well, had our birthday dinner at TGIF. My bro was so bored he fell asleep at the table. Fortunately there was no food where his head landed.

Today. Finished my MINUTES. Back to work as usual. Played a game of tennis at a meeting to discuss some problems. Well, the ball is no longer in my court. Muahahah. Fear my tai-chi. And my MINUTES.

It begins…

Well, Sims was finally installed just minutes after the last post. My sis is halfway done with the ‘regime-change’ of my computer. Argh, I’m defenseless against hardcore addiction!

It’s Saturday, and I’m back in the office. And I’m way too early too. Had to send my lil bro to school for his sports day; he was making a fuss about how he’s already late and how his house needs him. Well, his fault for waking up late. If you saw a blue-colored blur on the roads this morning, that was just me.

Speed Bumps on the Way to Work: 10

Work as usual today. Busy,

Work as usual today. Busy, messy, etc. Had to fix some errors for the company to print its EA forms. Had to do some ASP web development to get some users to do something. A new consultant came in today; wonder how long she’ll last (many came before and left :P).

Masrey sms-ed and Vincent called this morning! How rare is that? They were lining up to get tix for Thursday’s ST Nemesis at Mid Valley. How nice of them to remember me. Kinda late though. 😛 Didn’t give me enough time to find a date, so I’ll just bring Wan Yee along…. *sigh*

And I found out this other website was doing Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou translations! And it has 103 chapters translated!! I knew before actually, but I never bothered to check. Arg.. oh well.. won’t be bored for a while.

Manga:
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Volumes 8-9

Started playing:
C&C: Generals. Computer too slow. Jerky 3D graphics. 🙁
