CD Writer dying

I need a new burner :(

My CD Writer has been churning out a lot of coasters lately... looks like it's time to upgrade to a DVD Writer... but that's gonna cost me like RM300 ... breaking my budget already!

And the worst is that there's no year-end bonus! :(

Any kind sponsors out there? :-S

Redang here I come!

Tomorrow I'll be flying off to Pulau Redang for my department's team building. It's amazing what some companies will do for their employees. I should be back by Monday :)

Today I had lunch with Alex. He was wearing long sleeve t-shirt (from SEED), long cargo pants, and sandals :P I wish I could dress like that to office ! Then again, I've always liked to maintain that I'd wear "formally" to office, and "decently" when going out to site. With this, I separate my work from my life.

Am going to download Firefox now, and hopefully it will be the IE-killer!

22idc Post Mortem

It was a good post mortem meeting. How good? For starters... it ended before 12! Hehe... but it was a feel-good meeting. There wasn't any harsh feelings... but I truly wonder if we will ever learn from it?

I think this is why there needs to be continuity... there should be some place, some body to look after all the issues that may arise... and that's where I come in-lah :))

This Saturday I'm flying to Pulau Redang for department team building. Hope to relax and get to know more colleagues there. And for a chance to catch a glimpse of hot chicks? Nah, I don't think so... COM-Carrier Operations has no chicks! Hehe... Sad but true...

Y! Messenger is running!

Today is a good day :)

I managed to get my stupid Yahoo Messenger to work again in the office! All because I didn't configure the proxy all this while... then suddenly out of the blue today, I pinged the proxy and got back the IP address... keyed in this IP address... and voila... it worked!

So now I'm back into the online civilization! Yippieeee!!!!

Planning to watch Blade Runner (which I finished downloading couple of weeks ago) a bit later.

I can't go Bangkok :(

Had a fruitful post-mortem with Foong Wei for Secretaries portfolio... ironed out some issues, and at the same time pondered upon new questions... new directions for the portfolio.

It seems that almost everyone is going for the Bangkok trip, but I have to stay behind due to work. It's that time when the DiGi phase 3 project kicks into full swing, and I'll be probably handling all of the work related to KPI. So, it's no off-time for me (at least I think that way)... so I guess the rest will be enjoying, leaving me behind to rot... at least I've been to Bangkok before :D

Next month, my apartment will be vacant... so need to look for tenants.. anyone interested?

• 3-bedroom apartment
• Subang Perdana Court 9 (USJ)
• Unfurnished
• Facilities (Swimming pool)
• Car Park
• Rent neg.

Shutter

I just watched a Thai horror movie called Shutter. Oh my god, I'm still having goosebumps all over my body!!! Although there are a lot of cheap scares in the movie, but overall it fits nicely into the storyline, and it's really creepy. Darn, how am I gonna sleep tonight? Hehe...

Browsed through a book called "As A Gentleman Would Say". Basically it lists down what a "gentleman" should avoid saying and instead what he should say under situations such as "Friend tells you he's lesbian" or "Your host serves you lousy food" or "You got a promotion and your best friend didn't". Although initially I found it a bit contrived, but upon reflection, I realized that this is part of the Right Speech that comes with wisdom... so... it's essentially part of what the Buddha taught :)

OK... time to read through some reviews of the Shutter movie now :) personally, I would grade it 4 stars out of 5! A good watch for horror fans :)

Swimming

Swimming was... tiring... Muscles aching all over... argh.. blergh... tomorrow's gonna be a lousy day... I can predict it...

Blurry Eyes

Arghh... can barely open my eyes... I can't believe I'm awake so early on a SUNDAY!!! >:( Don't feel good ... argh... must listen to nice music!!

*plays "Thank You" MP3...

Ahh.. feel better liao... hehe... good morning! :) Going swimming later evening.

Shopping

Surprisingly... shopping in Midvalley today was fun! Partially because I had an aim: to buy new swimming trunks :) Thankfully, I found them...but RM59! Ouch... at least, it looks good AHHAHAHA... planning to go swimming tomorrow...

Oh, promised Jin Hwa to help him in Teen Quest hymns session tomorrow. Gonna see what I can cook up... haven't even planned what to sing! Hehe... last minute as usual.. Darn, gotta wake up at 8.30 tomorrow then! :P

Managed to record the first recording of "Thank You"... gonna share it with Kimberly, and a few others too... we'll see how it goes from there! I LOVE ADOBE AUDITION!!! :D

Adobe Audition

Shit... I just woke up.. There goes half of my day :P

Yesterday I recorded a lousy version on "Lord Buddha's Watching Over Me" and ripped it to MP3. Sent it to Kimberly so that she may hear how it sounds like. Now, listening back... it really did not do justice to the song.. the guitaring was so lousy, and the singing was off-key!! Ha... I must redo it later.

Oh ya, I installed something called Adobe Audition yesterday, which is a supercharged super version of Cool Edit, which I've been using all this while to edit my WAV files. Have yet to experiment with it, but from what I've seen yesterday, it's damn canggih! Must try , must try!

OK lah... off to Midvalley today... weather in Subang Jaya is hot! Temperatures of 34 (baking hot).
