Second post in a day? I haven't done that in a while

Listening to the photostat machine!

Camp Counselor
--------------------

It could be nostalgia. It could be habit. It could be an established
role in your family or occupation. But whichever it is, it's definitely
fear of responsibility. This is not as bad as it sounds. You recognize
the importance of choice and are inadvertantly keeping your inner child
happy. Just don't let fear decide your life.

Camp counselor? *Sigh*

Hahaha. SMSes are nice. Hehehe. :D
They are also sometimes very evil >:D
Especially if someone writing the message is being naughty. :P

Cheers.

No lunch...

Guess What?

Listening to a dull ringing

I finished reading Good Omens. Excellent book.

Now I gotta go off and do some work.

Status: Refreshed
Skipped lunch. Heavy breakfast

It's 3am and I must be lonely...

Listening to 8 Mile -Eminem

Spent most of today doing 2 things. World of Warcraft and sleep. Why? Because I'm too tired to go out today. Slept at 5am after a long Iron Kingdom D20 session. Didn't even go cycling.

Yesteday wasn't too bad even with the seminar. Really, learnt a couple of things in it regarding economics, sales and marketing. And the seminar was supposed to be about Structured Thinking (writing, organization, etc.) but the guy talking is a professor in economics, so all the examples were pretty interesting. However, managed to meet up with Bitemark and its number 1 groupie (band name to be changed since a record label's using it). And guess what? It was raining cats and dogs at the time. So we had an NT7 "Feel Good Time" advert where we started singing happy songs while sitting for the rain to stop. Hahahaha.

Have to go to the IRB later. Sigh.

Thursday? Well, the meeting dragged (though I didn't complain, it did set back my plans for the day). It dragged 3 hours than expected. Spent the rest of the day at Amcorp.

Friday... well, had to visit Tanjung Malim. Had to do some work stuff there.

Status: Finally tired.
Dinner was rice and microwaved food.

A post a day keeps the doctor away

Listening to Don't Speak - No Doubt

Tomorrow's a holiday but I have to work. An Aussie guy is dropping by in Malaysia before leaving for HK, and my company needs to clarify some things with him. On the bright side, it's only in the morning.

Been having this dull pain in my mouth lately. Maybe it's because my wisdom tooth is coming out. Or maybe not. It has this habit.

More interesting stuff. I am going to play Warhammer Fantasy Battle. Army? Lizardmen. Hahaha. Totally different from my Necrons and IG army in Warhammer 40K.

Status: Sleepy. Ate too much.
Lunch was 2 pizza slices, 2 KFC chicken pieces, 2 nuggets and a chendol. There was a party in the office.

We have titles now...

Listening to 21 Seconds - So Solid Crew

We have titles now! Heh.

Slept rather early yesterday. I mean really early. 9:30pm-ish. Woke up in the middle of the night around 1am and then again at 5am and 6:30am. Finally woke up properly at 7:25am. Had approximately 10 hours worth of sleep. Hahaha. Feeling a bit hyper.

Time to bugger off and do some work!

Status: Awake. Really awake.
Breakfast was nasi lemak

Listening to The Nobodies - Marilyn Manson

Weekend... let's see.

Friday night:
Worked till 8pm. Kinda. Had to do some software update in the last hour, so ended up reading "Good Omens" while the computer did its business. After work, went to the shop. Gamed. Slept at 5am.

Saturday:
Woke up at 10:45am. Groggy. Ugh. Cleaned up and left for the office to finish off some critical work. Slept for about 2 hours in the office. I think because of the sleeping position, I lost the feeling in my fingers because of the lack blood flowing through them. Stopped working at 6pm because I couldn't take it anymore. Went to the shop again. Hahaha. Didn't play much. The evening required a lot of travelling because of somebody needed the help. Reached home at 12am. Slept immediately.

Sunday:
Went cycling with my family and my dad's friends at Bukit Jelutong. Cycled 65km (could have been 58, but we took a detour while trying to find breakfast). Next time I'll have to wear sunblock and long sleeves. Got a tan. Very tired. Went to the shop after cleaning up. Went and watched Samara. I managed not to squeal. Hahaha. Again, enjoyed the company. It was great! :D Movie was pretty... "Eh". A few scary part here and there, but seriously a no-brainer scare. I preferred "Dark Water" and "The Eye" compared to this. Extremely tired by the 9. Sent a few guys back home and crashed at home by 10pm. ZzzZZzzzZ

Monday:
Back to work! Weekend was excellent. Even with the work :D

I'm on a sugar-coated high
And you don't have to ask why

Lunch was mixed rice

Listening to Fat Bottom Girls - Queen

Brought my Queen's Greatest Hit CD to the office. Heh.

Status: On a high
Breakfast was nasi lemak.

Listening to Can't Take My Eyes Off You (Cover) - Muse

Almost all alone in the office. Work work work.

Been downloading Covers/originals/variants of songs I'm hearing on the radio. I'm still searching for the acoustic/country style version of Avril Lavigne's Complicated. Managed to get Joni Mitchell's original Yellow Taxi Cab. Prefer this version somehow. Hahaha. This includes the current song I'm listening to.

Yesterday was pretty tiring. Vomitted helluva lot. ~_~ I think it could have been the dinner. Char Kuey Teow was too oily, I think. Things that got me stressed out and upset. *Sigh* Almost (Very close almost too) puffed a ciggie. Thought better against it. Score 1 for willpower.

Edit: Changed the blog layout. If it looks similar, well, that's because it's based off the template for Bitemark.

Listening to - New Fallen Snow (Judy and Mary)

Point form because I'm rushing for time.

Friday night:
1. Gamed at the shop. Acquire is da bomb!
2. Phone calls are cool.
3. Slept late. I think it was because of KOTOR2 and a book (Blood And Honor by W.E.B. Griffith).

Saturday:
1. Band practice. Woke up later than intended time. Case of "Alarm-is-on-the-Handphone-but-the-cleaning-service-came-over-so-my-mum-put-it-in-the-drawer-so-that-it-won't-get-stolen"
2. Managed to get the people involved in the band to the place on time. Well, not all of them.
3. Caught Be Cool. Not a bad movie.
4. Mucho Excellente dinner. Had Japanese. Enjoyed the company.
5. More gaming! Mafia-er... Werewolf this time around.
6. Slept late. Books rock.

Sunday:
1. Woke up late. Left for office at 11:10am to get some stuff done.
2. While at the office took power naps for breaks. Sleeeeepppps~~~
3. Left office at 9pm. Aiie. Had Fish and Chips for dinner at uptown. My usual shop wasn't open :(
4. Reached home at about 10:30pm. Played WoW for 30 minutes. Played KOTOR2 for about an hour. Then continued reading the book.
5. It was 3:30 am before I finished the book. Hahahaha.

Monday:
1. Planned to wake up at 6:30am, but ended up waking up at 7:30am.
2. Work. Work. Work. Some new trainees from my uni showed up. Showed them what I did.
3. Should stop writing this. 15 minutes is too much already. No time to even write a rhyme.

Status: Hyper!
Lunch was mixed rice

Listening to Return To Oz - Scissor Sisters

Before Mix.Fm played Laura on the airwaves, my bro told me about this band called Scissor Sisters who made the song. I found them to be rather good. So, I am suggesting listening to their music. All tracks on their albums sound differently from each other.

It's 1:40am. Sheesh. I should be getting some sleep.

On Tuesday, I went on a road trip with a 3 of my colleagues to Bukit Batu, Johor. It was 3.5 hours one way. The backseat didn't have enough leg room, so the trip was rather uncomfortable. However, as much as it is uncomfortable, I managed to sleep all the way to the site. On the way back, I was rather awake. Spent the time trying to finish the book that Triona had given me as a Christmas present (there was a secret santa thingie that went around).

Looks like a lot of work is coming this week and next week. *Sigh*

My WoW is suffering from bad lag and latency issues. Might have to change servers (again. bleh).

Spent most of the day infront of a computer doing work. My eyes hurt today. Will probably have to do so again tomorrow.

Oh, bought a plain black hairband so that my hair doesn't poke me in the eye so often. Whee! Planning to keep longer hair. But it's such a hassle. *Sigh*

Was playing KOTOR2 just now. Playing Darkside female Jedi Sentinel. Still not off Peragus. This is like... the 4th time I started the game. @_@

Open your eyes and see the world,
It's very bitter and extremely cruel.
Don't let your naivety take control
and take that step and be a bit bold.


Status: Sleeeeeeeeepy. Oooh shiny lightsabers!
Dinner....................... Look it's a jedi!

Listening to humming of the fluorescent lights in my office

Friday ended in a good way. Went to the Midnight Star Wars Con at 1 Utama to join old friends Eisu, Aimo, Jive and Aya. We tried to spread as much KOTORness around, but it seems like nobody's caring. :(

But it was cool nonetheless. The thing ended at 2am, but we left at around 1. Everybody was kind of tired (I had a long day at work, while some of the rest had work on Saturday). Not too bad actually. They showed The Jedi Hunter (spoof of The Crocodile Hunter) starring a very Aussie Boba Fett. Hahahaha.

Saturday was band practice day! This time around, Michelle couldn't make it, so the rest had to improvise. Andy (who was just supposed to hang around and listen) ended up playing bass. Damn poser :P Deb, the number 1 groupie joined us for the whole thing. Considering that Michelle wasn't around, it went pretty well. Just don't ask them to play All the small things without her around :P They recorded the whole session on tape, and ended up listening to it to improve.

Saturday night saw me viewing a 3 on 3 Warhammer 40K fight between Syamil (Space Wolves), Vinder (Necrons) and Shaz (Black Templar) against Kuok (Chaos Orks), Ian (Sisters of Battle (Corrupted)) and Blur (CSM: Death Guard). It was a rather messy affair, and the fact that the Necrons went unmolested against 3 Landraiders on the table meant a whole shitload of trouble. In any case, The Imperium with the help of the Necrons crushed the 3 pronged attack from the forces of Chaos.

Sunday: Cycled 58km. Reached home at 2+. Slept all the way till 7. Woke up. Played WoW/KOTOR2. Slept again at 1am. ZzzzZZ.

No rhyme today. A bit busy.

Status: I think I slept too much
Breakfast? What breakfast? Oh that thing that you eat after you wake up?

Listening to Thank you - Dido

Hello everyone! It's that time for the show again.

Welcome to Ahmad's Little Corner. Let's see what do we have for you today...

Hmm... see this? This is an interesting link. Wrestlemaina XXI is looming in the very near distance, so catch it and tell me the matches. I'll be working on the day.

Now... onto the next item. Work. Looks like I didn't get as much raise as I would have wanted to get. *Sigh* Nothing like last year. :(

Sing a song time!

My Day

The world is so lonely,
when you are far away.
Feeling you sitting beside me,
For sure makes my day.
And when I see you unhappy,
my day turns to gray,
Looking at you so pretty,
For sure makes my day.

When I see the stars in the sky,
It reminds me of you,
When I see the sun rise in the early morn,
It makes me think of you,

So why did you leave me be?
I ask myself each day.
Was is my fault? Was it me?
To God did I pray.
Now I feel so damn lonely,
no longer happy nor gay.
What do you see in him and not me?
To make you look away?

When I see the stars in the sky,
It reminds me of you,
When I see the sun rise in the early morn,
And It makes me think of you,

[Cue cool interlude with guitar riffs]

And now you leave all alone,
So bare and cold to the bone.
You made my heart turn to stone.
If only... if only I had known.

So why did you leave me be?
I ask myself each day.
Was is my fault? Was it me?
To God did I pray.
Now I feel so damn lonely,
no longer happy nor gay.
What do you see in him and not me?
To make you look away?

When I see the darkness in the sky,
It reminds me of you,
When I see the sun set in the evening,
And It makes me think of you,

When you see the madness in my eyes,
It reminds you of me,
When you see me pull the trigger,
It'll be the last thing you'll see.

Finito. Better or worse than my previous song? Comments?
