As you can see, I haven't been having enough rest. I'm feeling very trippy at the moment. I think I'm gonna use my blog as a diary so that I can claim allowances. I'm too lazy to write it down elsewhere :D

And I will still NOT admit that I'm a workaholic. It's just that I have lots of work to do.

Dinner was Thosei and pulled tea. Teh tarik sounds wierd in English :D

Listening to... I'm still in the office. T_T
It's the second Hari Raya and I'm in the office. Just about to prepare for work. Anyway, I found my blue Eno pencil.

Before I continue with my blog for the day here's the obligatory Raya preceedings:

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!! @ HAPPY EID CELEBRATIONS

For MAAO members, I left an important message regarding Rojak on the board, so check it out.

It rained most of yesterday. Which presented the problem of going out to my relatives' house in Muar without getting wet. Result: we didn't go out till nighttime, after maghrib.

Lotsa food around when we went out for raya. Ketupat, sambal kacang, rendang, lodeh, kari ayam, all the biscuits and cookies, kerepek cili. All the different syrup drinks (my favorite is the green syrup).

Breakfast was... er... I haven't had breakfast yet.

Listening to...more aircond
Ok... here's the rundown. I am SWAMPED with work. I will only be able to edit/print Rojak during the weekend AFTER Raya. I might NOT be able to put in any comic except for maybe filler space. AND I want the rojak cover submissions in A5 size gif format only. This be the reason I want the submissions early, so that I can do a quality job, and not a shody one.

BTW, I did mention in my post in June that the submission is only to be submitted in gif format only. Check the message board. Sorry about that Aimo.

Right now I am tight on cash. Need moolah. Raya + Car repair + food = very poor me. But, I'll pay back Zid the money I borrowed from him during CF.

Holy shiat. November's almost over. Car will only be ready after Raya. Damn.

Broke fast with pineapple rice and chinese tea.

Nov 18, 2003

I got into an accident. And this time it wasn't my fault. It was a 4 car pileup near Kampung Kayu Ara. Went to the police, made a report and properly broke fast at 10:30 pm.

And when I got home, my mother complained about my hair being long and it does not correspond to me being in the working world. What the hell does that have anything to do with my car accident?

Good thing is I left the scene unscathed. That, I thank God for.

Nov 17, 2003

Listening to the same old thing
I think somebody accidentally stored away my marker and blue eno pencil from the last MAAO meet on Saturday. I can't find them ;_; The only thing I have on me is my brush pen...

Anyway. The weekend was pretty cool. MAAO meeting on Saturady (got my copy of Berserk vol1. I'm actually supporting originals. Wow. Does this mean that the Band of Hawks group will stop scanlating the series?) On Sunday, I got to paint some Warhammer 40K models of mine. But it's not done yet. Also got to see Ju-On: The Grudge. Now, call me a wuss, but I was screaming and shrieking and squealing through out the movie. Sad, no? Well, I will only say: Real men aren't afraid to scream like a little girl when watching a horror movie.

What other good horror movies are there to watch?

Nov 10, 2003

Still listening to myself coughing
Just finished watching Hitler: The Rise of Evil on Cinemax. An autobiography on Pre-war Hitler. I don't know how accurate it was, but it's a good show. Me likes.

Buka puasa was soto and warm water.

Nov 8, 2003

Listening to my self coughing

Sahur was lontong, I think.

Nov 7, 2003

Listening to... nothing really
I said things too soon. I'm stuck with fever. Took a half day MC.

Skipped Sahur. Too tired.

Nov 6, 2003

Listening to Mind Over Money by Turin Brakes
I watched Matrix Revo. It got more philosophical than action. That's all I'm gonna say.

Buka Puasa was rice, fried chicken, fish egg, some tauge/tauhu vegetable dish, 4 dates (sweet :9), and iced barley. As you can see, I like barley :D

Nov 4, 2003

Listening to Death whispering in my ear
Uh......... Tired.............. Work has been overwhelming. Last Sunday saw me playing my warhammer 40K Necron army against my friend's Tau army. Hahaha. It rocked.

This week has been hectic because for one of the projects that I've been assigned to is having its Factory Acceptance Test. Argh found out so much errors. Need to reconfigure lotsa stuff. Minor stuff, but helluva lot. I can't believe it but for 9 months of fully working with late nights and I've only taken 1 day leave and no sick leave.

I think I need a break soon. Takut burnout.
Buka Puasa was chinese fried rice, Tomyam Campur, bullseye egg, and iced water.

Listening to the printer machine churning out paper
ALIEN VS PREDATOR THE MOVIE!!!!!!

'Nuff said.

Sahur was rice and chicken curry.
