I got sick of blogger, yep.
As usual, I'm blogging in the office [again!].
So many things have happened since the last post - Natasha's Birthday, Car rental: Episode 1 and a 1/2 [and the resulting disagreements], Shorts, Cloudy - with a chance of meatballs and much, much more. In fact, all this activities has my mom up in arms - She's complaining that I'm treating my home as a hotel! [And I thought 2 years as a NSF would already had prepared her for this ..] But nonetheless, I guess this isn't going to change anytime soon - never mind about the constant drain on my finances and energy level, I never could stand being cooped up in my house anyway.
Which brings me to my next point - since I'm like out of the house for like, 2/3 of the day, my laptop/desktop is ROTTING away at home. Of course, this wouldn't be much of a case for concern but I wonder .. should I repair and give [or, if the opportunity presents itself, sell] the laptop away? There's really not much of a point for me to hold on to it; the idea of a high-end gaming laptop that I could bring for LAN parties died on me a long time ago and I think some of my cousins [like Nicholas/Jordan/Darren, for example?] could benefit from it .. and maybe NOT! - seeing how rough they are with things, I don't think my laptop will be able to last for any time longer then a month [and this is my most optimistic theory, ever.]
Then again, this is an another story, for another day. :)
And FINALLY, somebody in my company has decided to use their brains. After like 2 weeks of enduring close to sub-zero temperatures, it has been decreed by the powers-that-be to increase the general warmth of the office by like, 5 degrees Celsius? Personally, I am quite thankful for whoever suggested this but still, I feel quite .. frozen. -.- [Or maybe, I should SERIOUSLY stop slacking around in the office and really get down to work. =X]
Either way, tomorrow's the start of my weekend job with SHELL. 9-5 at SHELL, lorong 7 of Geylang as a promoter of sorts. Best of luck to me, no?
Out.

I think there's something wrong with me.
Case in point: the air-conditioning is set to 25 degrees Celsius and I .. feel like it's the Antarctic in here.
I wonder if it's those days that I spent sweating [like there's no tomorrow] as your average NSF in the middle of a rather secluded part of Singapore that has lowered down my tolerance for the cold or whether there is a bigger thing in the works.
I hope it's more of the former then the latter. [because I can't afford to fall sick now ..!]
Anyway, this question [thanks Matt!] has resurfaced in my mind again.
Should I go for Lasik?
Seriously, I'm getting sick of having to maintain a pair of glasses and yes, it doesn't help that I have an interest in sports such as basketball/soccer, where there is both the danger of inappropriate physical conduct and the unlucky happenstance of the ball flying straight to my face that is pretty much guaranteed to produce a new dimension to my spectacles [and as well as ruin my day!].
Money wise, I'm more then capable of footing 100% of the bill. :) [Though, of course, I don't mind some financial assistance from anyone who wishes to help .. =X]
SO .. I guess the real question is more like ..
What's stopping me?

And yes, I'm still blogging from my workstation. :)
For those who insist on the "Yao siu, now working hours still can surf net" school of theory, I have only one assurance for you guys - I'm more then prepared to face the music. AI ZAI! =D
But anyway, I'm starting to hate any and every given idea of social interaction that does not involve you standing face to face to the person you wish to talk to. Somehow, somewhat, somewhere - the meaning of your words will be lost among the indecphierable babble of electronic white noise and POOF! I see lvl 99 Rainbow aura. [Read: Potential Flaming abound.]
And not only that, I definitely find it hard to know/understand what the other party is thinking. After all, the lack of eye contact makes it a lot more easier for the other party to hide his/her true meaning of their words. Though I would pretty much like to believe I live in a perfect world where none of such things ever exist, I doubt reality is that kind to me. And no peeps, i'm not pointing any fingers at anyone [lest anyone gets the wrong idea!] But well .. just some random reflection(s) on my part.
I know, I know - Ignorance is bliss. It's just as well; I can never ever prevent myself from being the subject of someone's else gossip, but ..
How much do I need to ignore before S*** hits the fan?
Anyway, random question: Does anyone have, like, the ultimate man's guide to understanding the opposite sex that little much better?
I seriously could use one now.

Back to blogging. :)
Yes, I'm [yet again!] slacking my ass off in the office. Can't help it when you're a fast worker, right? XD [Then again, boss, please don't take this as a sign to increase my amount of work. I'm quite happy as it is and after all, a happy worker is a productive worker 'right? Right!? =X]
Lame jokes aside, I'm starting to think that the frequent basketball-ing isn't helping. In fact, I feel like I'm more like, tormenting my body instead. Case in point - I usually reach home at about 1 a.m in the morning which gives me like, 5 hour's worth of quality sleep? Seriously, I don't think rejuvnation of my rarely used muscles [if any, that is =X] can be completed in such a short time as well. And not to blame basketball for this but .. really, I do feel sleepy in the office at times [especially when there's nothing for me to do except .. stare at the com and wonder what I should do. =X]
But then again, I'm also glad for basketball putting in an extra "oomph" in my life - after all, if I wasn't basketball-ing, I'll probably at home playing Red Alert 3/DOTA with Chuan [which contributes humonogously to my already all-too-high lifelessness rating already!]
Somehow, God, can you please add in an extra hour or two per day? I'll really appreciate it. :)
Anyway, I'm meeting Teck Yong later at City Hall MRT for dinner. And hopefully, I get that all-important bit of shopping done.
Hmm .. I wonder what I should get .. for her.

You think I should have known better by now but again, I'm blogging this post from the comfort of my workstation. :)
Somehow, somewhere, I managed to find my old tagbox, the one I used when this blog's address was afcandme.blogspot.com. [That is, if i remember correctly. -.-]
And it brings back some memories ..

And it brings back some memories ..
I'm actually supposed to be working now but with most of my work for the day cleared [and my immediate superiors not around!], this presents me a superb opportunity to .. blog. :)
And yes, I should count my lucky stars for getting this job. Simple job scope, good pay, nice working environment, earlier knock off timing .. the list goes on. Even though it's just about as mundane as my previous one at NDC, I guess I can live with that - the old adage of money making the world go round quietly forcing me to immediately affect a change in my thinking. For those who wish to argue against this fact - there's no point, really. Just a simple look around you would suffice. Indeed, there's really no such thing as a free lunch but I guess we're taking this phrase a LITTLE TOO SERIOUSLY. Everything around us is so .. expensive. -.- Food, clothes, even the simple flicker of a switch for the lights is that much degrading on one's financial capabilities.
And it's not just that as well. One of the main motivational factors for me to pursue this rather uninteresting career as a simple rank and file documents clerk is for me to create Mazda 3: Episode 2. [And I think only a couple and that girl will know what I mean, LOL.] And yes, I'm really itching to get behind the steering wheel of a car [the real one, not the arcade machine!]
On a more random note, while taking over the periphals I need for my job here, I happened to chance upon the name of the guy who left.
And you know what it is?
Wen Han.

I just had my haircut. And it's a super duper cheap haircut [at $3!]
But .. I have one grouse.
I didn't really pay much attention to it until Andy pointed it out. That thick mane of hair that I chose to leave uncut at the back of my head kinda gave my hairstyle that 80's look. And if that's not bad enough, there's one more thing that I hate to say as well - I actually agree with him.
Guess my sense of fashion is kinda .. out, huh?
Oh well. Andy/Adeline will be flying off to Taiwan for their dance training. So, best wishes and bon voyage to the both of them, no?
Is it just me, or why do I have this sudden feeling that it'll be a case of 2 persons going there and 3 persons coming back? [Yes, this doesn't sound right. =X]
