Oops... forgot to archive this week. Oh well.. might as well make the next archive a two week edition. I'm lazy.... can you blame me?

This morning's weather was BEAUTIFUL!! I wanted to sleep. Such cozy weather isn't meant to be awake in. Too bad the afternoon weather was warm. Too warm.

Was kept busy today shuffling through a database of 1600 people. The worst part... I have to compare the database to another database..... via the internet! Slow.... kept getting disconnected. Arrrgghhh...... this is what happens when something was put up during an emergency... no database linkage.

My grasp on the english language is slipping! Both speaking and writing. I know I don't read as often as I used to. I want to read.. but I have other things to do (like sleep). Not to mention the amount of horrible english I'm digesting each day. Some people can't write decent emails about anything!

Jedi Knight 2 fun!! Although I had trouble learning how to use those guns against hordes of stormtroopers. Finally I learnt how. Don't move when firing, don't move while shot travelling, shoot them heads.

Sol Bianca OVA is finished...... I think... It was very confusing. I don't like it. But there's nothing else for me to watch. Sigh.... PS2... have you dropped to the 800 price range?

Monday blues hit me full force today. Woke up groggy and wanted to sleep somemore. I still do want to sleep.

I just couldn't work up the energy to think properly. Forgot to take a couple of things to the office. My handphone, stationery are the more important things.

Sunday was fun... Jedi Knight fun! CS fun too!! Heheh.... all of a sudden my sniper reflexes were good again. I loved the round where I had only one bullet left in my pistol vs the last terrorist who was previously wounded with a sniper shot to his leg. Hahah... his backup took up 11 out of 12 rounds from my pistol. Fortunately I didn't miss.

Couldn't think too well today. But at least I managed to finish all but one job today. Darn, tomorrow have to finish it lickedy split.

Hey Cindy, hope you quickly get fully transferred. Yay! Now you can claim to be a confirmed worker!

OH DARN!!! There's a magazine on Sakura Wars 4...... shit.......tempted to go and get it from Kinokunia. 14 lovely pages......must.... no cannot.... must.... no cannot....

Would blog more about yesterday and Saturday but I have very little energy to do so. Not to mention the mental capacity.

I don't think this entry will be very long. Brain dead... Friday please end quickly and painlessly.

I drove my boss's car today. Manual Wira. My computer was down so I was using another computer. However it did not have a program I needed. So off I went to my house to raid my trove of CDs.

I also got my business cards today. I'm gonna spread them around like gifts, so beware!! Hahah Cindy, do you have a business card?

My my... life is getting repetitive for me. I notice that I can't seem to write long blog entries anymore. It's probably due to the fact that my schedule seems to be fixed. Wake up, have breakfast, watch one episode of anime, go to work, work, lunch, work, go home, have dinner, take bath, go online, sleep.

Not to mention the fact that work related information is considered confidential. I could have my ass fired if I listed down the work I'm doing for the clients since it is all future projects and implementations.

Hey, after all that hard coding in the office, I seem to be able to type really really fast without looking at the keyboard anymore. Hahaha... reminds me of the time I was doing the lingo scripting for my multimedia project. So many repetitions, sure type a lot.
eg. set the visible of sprite 1 to true
set the visible of sprite 2 to false
set the visible of sprite 3 to true
and it goes on and on. Hahah.... project days :). Had too long a break though. 8 months of non-programming and brain dead activities have really set me back. I need to learn my codes quick!

I meant to buy a new handphone on Sunday. But due to the threat of working on Sunday hanging over my head that day I put it off so I could spend as much time as possible out. But this handphone is really bugging me. I can't sms or reread smses that have been sent to me until the next one comes along. I just don't understand why. There are 8 options. When I scroll the options it goes: 1, 2, 6,7,8 (where's 3, 4, and 5??). I'm using a Siemens C25. Anyone with answers?

Darn EPF ppl... can't get through to them at all the whole day....

Like drinking kicap!! *gag!* Get the taste out of my mouth!! ICE CREAM!! ICE CREAM!!!! ICEEEEEEEEEEEE CREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!

*proceeds to pig out*

*wobble wobble wobble*

I feel woozy... the programming headache as returned. Was doing lingo scripting at the office. It was okay I guess. The only problem I have was having no reference to any books. So with the help of my past project and the help file I was constructing a simple interactive program. The aching in my head is due to some part of my code that didn't seem to work correctly. It worked but not the way it should. Beh.... remember Cindy? How I would be so happy and dance around when I find solutions? Well..... wanted to do that today... but I was afraid I'd look incredibly silly..... so kept quiet.... how boring...

Came home at my earliest time yet! 7.15pm! Early for me!!

Oh dear.... most of my family members are sick (3/5). I'd better be careful... lack of sleep and lethargy isn't going to help. It's only monday and I feel that it's a Thursday.... how am I going to live throught the month? Must.... get used to it. Coffee and all things caffiene and sugar related are cravings in the office.

Too tired to read that darn huge book on Cold Fusion tonight.

Haven't blogged for the past 2 days. My brother was at the computer at night. So instead of waiting for them to finish, I went to sleep instead.

Yesterday went to Amcorp Mall to open an EPF (Employee's Provident Fund) account. When I took a number, there was 90 more people to go. Well, from that number, you have to minus out those that never show up. That happened quite often. Before my turn there was 5 empty numbers. Anyways, the system was down..... so I don't have an account just yet. But my application form has been handed up for processing.

My boss quite teruk........ asked me to work on a Sunday. Hey!! It's not like that the deadline has been pushed forward. But nooo... he wants to show more and more stuff to the client. Bah... I bet that there will be design flaws again. So what if he knows the flow of the stuff? He's coding illiterate! Sigh..... but even then.... I'm slow at my coding. Can you blame me? I've not done programming since I left college. It'll take a while for me to familiarize myself and relearn (not to mention LEARN) all the required stuff.

Fortunately I don't have to work today. I but I think he'll think less of me..... SO WHAT??? Bugger..... I know he can be the BIGGEST ARSE in the galaxy, but I'll do my work alright... I'll meet the deadlines..... and still leave my weekends free! I don't mind the late nights on the weekdays, but my weekends??? I will strive to protect it!!!

Now where did I put my Internet Applications notes??? Ooopppsss? Did I throw it away? Oh well, I still have a thick book!!
