Yesterday I could have gone online. However, Terence did not come home and thus I had to keep the phone line free. The bugger never called!! He came home at midnight!! I wanted to sleep at that time...... sigh.....

At work yesterday I was trying to troubleshoot a particular html/javascript code. IN NOTEPAD!!! Gaaaa!! I didn't have Dreamweaver in my pc! Do you know how hard it is to look through coding line by line just to find one measly little error?? It's ridiculous!! Gave up and took the page home and viewed the source from there. What was the error??? I used " instead of ' in ONE STUPID hyperlink!!

Today went to Carlsberg to meet the client. My first external meeting. So for most of the afternoon was there. Now have a lot more stuff to do again. Sigh... so little time, so much to do...

I need to get myself more organised.... must have a plan for myself. But I can't plan hourly!! Most of my projects require me to wait for my co-worker to finish her part first.

Ah! My Goddess the OVA is running over Astro this week. All I can say about that Keichi.... lucky *beep!*. Hahahah... not that I like Belldandy or something like that, but just the idea his life partner just walks into his life just like that. Hahaha.... I'll stick to Sakura Wars thank you :)

Which reminds me.... where's my pay from Standard Chartered?? I had better get my dough in a week or else I'll be making lots of noise.

Well well.... I got home at a rather more decent time today. 8 pm.... not too bad compared to my Friday's time. Haha!! I have yet to come home without overtime.

Aiks.... I am going to have to learn soooo many things at once. Database, Cold Fusion, HTML, Javascripts, Lingo Scripts....... Granted... I did learn some of them already, but whatever knowledge I have isn't sufficient to make me self-efficient. I am so going to have a brain overload one day.

Oh well... I got job... can't complain. I will definately learn LOADS of stuff in that company.

Oh yes... now I have an interesting choice to make. Either buy a Nokia 3310, or buy a battery for the Nokia 9110 which I had been lugging around.... suggestions anyone? The battery is about 20 bucks cheaper than the phone.

Heheh... I think my blogging will be less consistent from now on. I seem to be doing a lot of late nights on the job. I forsee that it's going to be a frequent thing. Well.... advertising, what can I say?

Got home at 12am last night. Oh well... at least got free makan and free ride.

I'm going to be busy busy busy. Let's hope my energy lasts. It's like doing college projects and they are due in a short period of time! Not one... but many projects! Another similarity from college, I have to learn things by myself.... FAST!!

Today just stayed home to recharge...

Handphone.... must buy another one!! This one not nice!! Cannot sms properly! Watch... must get watch too....

Sheesh... my shopping list just grew longer and longer... and NO Jean... you won't get a BMW from me unless you deserve it (my judgement not yours) and I have the money (which I don't) so dream on!!

I'm officially a full time employed person at FM Promos. My job title is Project Executive. I am a CONFIRMED employee! No such thing as a confirmation period. My starting pay is.... well... I don't want to tell over the my blog. Ask me personally!

Today suffered from normal first day problems. Half the time blur about what was being discussed. Don't really know my colleagues (there are only 8 people in my company!). I know that I have to pick up things fast in this job. Must refresh on my internet programming too. Haven't done that for a while... I'm sooo going to suffer for forgeting. *takes out thick textbook* Time to revise.

I will be getting my name card next week (fast!!) hahah.... get to show off my card at last!

Did Overtime today too. After office hours had to see a Carlsberg contact in Subang. Boss belanjaed makan too... nice chinese dinner. Had lots of extra people like Ong Beng Hee's parents which was also invited for the dinner. Came home at 10.30pm. Eeks for a first day huh?

Cindy... I am still using the 019 handphone number. But I can't SMS to you with that phone. But I can email you. I have a PC! With a modem! Hahah... at least I can do some stuff. Now... I need two things... 1. a watch, 2. Earphones long enough to reach the pc on the floor. Can't put the PC on the table... phone wires not long enough... geeez.

I have enough MP3s for a CD!! Time to buy a blank CD too.

Tomorrow I shall begin the first day of my full-time employment!

Yesterday I went to sleep because my brother was playing computer. heheh... didn't blog.

Wasn't much to yesterday though... stayed indoors. Only time I went out, was to pay the Celcom bill and to buy lunch.

Today went out with Phang, Chuen Ian and Samantha. Had lunch at the newest McD's in Subang Jaya. Then went on to play Starcraft. Hahah... played about 4 rounds with Phang and Ian vs Samantha and I. We lost all the time.... Bah... then Phang left. Then we ganged up on Ian instead. After a tough and gruelling battle, we finally won!! So hard to beat him!! Gaaa!! Almost killed him, almost lost... favours swung in both directions so often. hahahh...... now Ian wants a rematch. Must train....

Yu San and Tan joined us later in the evening. Had dinner with them. Hahah... Yu San's sunburnt!! *image in head, a combustible Yu San*

Congrats to Nina!! Yeah.... now I owe you Ice Cream too..... hey, how about both you and TJ both get belanjaed on the same day? It'll be easier for me.

Cindy... sorry didn't return your call..... your house line was busy. And I don't have your handphone number anymore. I need to reinput into my handphone :). Anyways... have fun with the DVD ROM. I very itchy to get a mp3 player lar.....

I GOT A JOB!!! YAY!!! This morning the Director called and told me the news. He has asked me to come in on Thursday to finalise everything. So I don't know what I'm getting yet. But heck it's a full time job.

Congratulate me dang it! After 8 months I get a job!

Next, my computer is fixed!!! I'm happy happy happy happy I tell you..... HAPPY I'm bouncing when I type. I bounce when I hear my mp3s....... I bounced so much... I'm exhausted.. hahah.

Now that I'm not working, I've been at my computer (after I did some cleaning) for hours! Hahah.... too bad there's no one to multiplay with.... would have been fun.

Oh oh!!! I can move up my PS2 purchase schedule!! My older brother has volunteered to pay for a portion. I told him, the PS2 system is MINE so he's not chipping in for that. Instead, he'll buy the extras that I was planning to get. That's one controller and 2/3 memory cards. Maybe I'll bully him into buying one game too. Hahah!! Cindy!! You'll never out-race me of a PS2!!

Have chocolate cake in the refridgerator. Bought at cake for my dad's birthday, from Secret Recipes. Black forest...... yummy!! Chocolate! Chocolate!!

Tested my phone too. I can receive SMS... but I can't reply!! I can't even send dang it. Oh well..... will change phones soon enough *GRIN*

My car.... still going to have trouble for ownership, even with this job. Sigh.... what to do? I got a brother who "earned" it with a 100k scholarship vs my 20k one....

It's my dad's birthday today. But then we had the dinner yesterday at the Monterez clubhouse in Shah Alam. In due time we shall be moving there as well. Other than that, Saturday was a dull day at home.

Today on the other hand, was out until the evening with Lilian, Yu San and Tan (put together it's SanTan). Played badminton in the morning. Walked to the field this time. Hmmm... my toe's giving less problems.

Oh yes feeling much happier today.

Went to 1Utama McD's for brunch. ICE CREAM was yummy. CS was fun too. Played well, had many good rounds (mostly involving snipers). Lilian's shotgun berserker side showed up too. Hahaha.... been a while since I've seen a shotgun used successfully. I had a couple of shotgun rounds too! Too bad the first shotgun can't kill with one shot unless it's a headshot otherwise I'll love it.

*YAWN* Quite malas now though, plus I got a website to analyse right now so till next time!
