It's alive!!!!

My comp's back online at home. Rejoice! :P

Hellos muchachos

Finding some time to type something on the blog...

Lunch was RM1.20. Breakfast was RM 4.20...
*Yawn*

Right now I'm sitting infront of my computer trying to download GAIM. It's a portable app that runs Y!IM, AIM, MSNM and something else... It's a bit like trillian but doesn't require an installation to run... much like Portable Firefox. Check out Portable Apps for more details.

Was supposed to work on Saturday and Sunday but managed to work only on Saturday till 12 midnight. Went out for mamak to catch Everton lose to Newcastle United despite being the better team for most of the match. Bleh. Well, we're back to 12th place. Outside of the relegation zone, but after the recent on form, I wish we could do more. And also despite what I say here, I also think that Solano's second goal was of quality!

Wanted to work on Sunday, but ended up too tired. Ended up staying at home watching Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and then followed my parents to Ikea. Ooooh shiny furniture.. :D:D:D:D:D:D

Gotta finish something tonight and something else tomorrow night. All work related, so I shouldn't spend so much time typing meaningless junk here.

On the other hand, I'm feeling sleepy after lunch...

Hikkomori...

In the office right now. Doing work. Supposed to at least :P

Been reading this manga called "Welcome to the NHK!" recently. It's about this guy who's a hikikomori (a person who suffers from acute social withdrawal syndrome and is actually a real social problem in Japan) and how he's trying to break through it. The story writing's superb, the artwork clean and it is a bit on the perverted side, but I think a lot of people can relate to the problems these guys suffer.

Google for voiea and you'll be able to find a server that has the translated copies of the manga (up to chapter 19). It gets depressing a bit towards the last chapter, and it does end with a cliffhanger... you'll just have to wait till new chapters come out :P

Lots of things been popping up recently, and I'm thinking about slowly cutting down on being irresponsible and too carefree. More work and stuff.

Uh... Tired

Yesterday was hectic... Had to go to the police station to pay off my summons (speeding on the highway). Arrived at the office at 10am. Did some documentation, some work, then at 2:30 got an emergency call to Bukit Batu, Johor. Since my boss was going to, we decided to go together except that he'll fetch me from Midvalley (I had to leve my car at home). Left KL at 4pm. The drive was boring, and I was asleep most of the way. Did my share of driving (without speeding!) and we arrived at the substation at approximately 7:45pm. Not too bad I must say. Dinner ws KFC (paid by the main con :D) although it was H&S :( but I usually never say no to free dinners anyway :)

Finished my part around 12pm, but some trouble occured on the system so I couldn't leave till 2am. When we left, we still haven't found the root of the problem (just found out a couple of minutes ago it wasn't our side). My colleague and I went in his car (he stays in Nilai) while my boss and my other colleague stayed behind in Johor. Did part of the driving till it started to rain (bad eyesight+bad windscreen wiper = me ended not driving for the rest of the trip). He dropped me off at the Nilai komuter at 5am, which I took a train at 5:47am (earliest one in the day). While waiting for the train, I got some sleep and almost missed the ride. Bleh nobody was courteous enough to wake me up -_-.

Reached KL Sentral at 6:45am. Took the Putra LRT to Taman Bahagia and then a taxi back home. Arrived at home just in time to see my parents who were getting ready for work. Said hi and fell asleep immediately. Got a couple of calls (which I drawled the answers) and only got up at 2pm. Went to office, and finally did some work. But the bulk of my work can only start at 6:30pm... Still in the middle of that work...

Oh my home loan got approved today. I gotta find the time to sign the S&P documents soon.

Bye~

Kazaaaaaaaam~~~!!!

It's been awhile again since my last post, so I got to post something or else I'll lose my touch. :D

Been hanging out with my friend from Uni days the last few days. Catching up with all the news and found out a majority of my uni-mates are alredy married, or getting there. She herself doesn't plan to get married either very early or very late (she says 40-45 o_O), or not at all, while I plan mine maybe at the age of 30. Yeap ripe old 30. Haha. It's interesting to know that while myself and one of her closest friends tried to convince otherwise, she's pretty much adamant about it. At least she has a boyfriend (very nice guy, I might add) while yours truly is still searching :P

Right now I'm currently playing Ran Online which is a school-based campus MMORPG. Pretty ok so far, but WoW it definitely isn't. I'm also looking at Pedang Setiawan Online :D Both games are free, and since I'm waiting for WoW patch 1.10 to come out, I might as well do something. However since my comp's dead at the moment (in the process of being repaired), I have to play these games at the cybercafe :(

Anyway, I gotta go now. Have fun all :)

Bored........... m(__)m

I got bored. Let's see what I can write over here... I'm using Sean Connery's potrayal as William Forrester in Finding Forrester (Loved the movie!) style to type this. You are a writer. So just write. Don't think about what you are writing... Let's see now. We'll start with a topic. Vegetable.

Not so long ago, vegetables could talk. Well, not really talk, but somehow or another they communicate with themselves. If a story were to be written in their language, neither you nor I would be able to understand anything. Fortunately, I have been able to translate them to English so that people would understand what they would mean. Now, the only problem is that some of them do not speak with proper grammar (They are mostly uneducated of course! How often have you ever seen a vegetable go to school?), so some of the dialogue would be incomprehensible.

Mind you, vegetables are very talkative creatures. Unlike human beings like you and I, they consistently bicker, argue, debate, tussle with words, mingle, converse, and just plain talk to each other all the time. They don't sleep and thus if you are able to listen to them, you would hear the non-stop chatter coming from them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

Yet nowadays, they don't even emit the smallest sound. Why? One day they just stopped communicating. Poof! Zilch! Khatam shud! Nothing! Silence! I have looked at the source of the problem, and I began to understand why. You see, when each vegetable talks, er... communicate, they don't listen. Every vegetable talked about things that it liked, what it did, what it did not do, stupid things, clever things, the butcher, the farmer, and the ugly sheepdog that pisses on the carrot patch every night and dug up the rosebed every morning before daylight.

I think one of the vegetables thought about it (which I think is rather difficult to do because it wanted to talk at the same time) and stopped talking. Why talk when no one is listening? Bit by bit, one by one, the other vegetables noticed it too. And from being one of the noisiest beings on the planet, they became the most silent ones of all.

Occassionally, a human being or a dog, or some other small animal would dig up a vegetable and cut it off from the land. If you tried hard enough, and if the surrounding is really really quiet, you could hear the faint scream of the tiny little vegetable.

Fin.

Hm... finished watching Lemony Snickett's Series of Unfortunate Events on *ahem* pirated *ahem* DVD last night. Not a bad movie. Not great, but not bad. Makes me want to read the book. Valentine's? I spent it with my parents. Mwahahahahahahaha. Don't really believe in it. Why should one day be special? Shouldn't everyday be special with your loved one(s)? :P

Might want to install MS Visio to plan out on how the condo should look like...

My office comp died yesterday. Today's effort to revive it was futile... The motherboard has gone to hardware heaven... Most of today was divided between trying to convince the IT department to help me out, helping out at odd jobs and gereally mulling around.

Wheee~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good news today! Mucho excellante!
Can't say it here, but it's good news! XD

Anyway, I've been looking at interior decor and I like some things I saw. I think my condo will have a pseudo modern look to it. My mum prefers wood finishing and cabinets, so I think I'm a bit bored with that look. :D

I gotta go down to Bukit Batu this weekend (17 -after work & 18) and also will be conducting training in the office on the 16, 17, 20 and 21. Add on top of that a crucial product test on the 15th.

Busy busy busy. I'm trying to meet up with old friends (xazaru, alextansc, and sklc) from Uni this Wednesday (today will be too hectic) or Sunday (after I come back from Bukit Batu).

Ciaoz for now

Yo!

After a long hiatus, BoB returns!!! One of my friends told me that I haven't been updating my blog, and true enough I haven't. (I think most of you readers would notice this anyway :P)

It's been almost 3 months since my last post, so I'll try to summarize the stuff that's been happening from then till now :D

1. Work - Lots of it. Lots. And more lots. Weekends, holidays, nights, mornings, evenings... Bought a book on VB and VBA...

2. Gamings stuff!!! Skinks~~~~~~~~~~ I have 4 boxes of them, and a Saurus regiment. Whee. Only 1 (ONE) plastic model painted, and even that's not assembled yet. o_O Bought World of Warcraft: The board game too. Spent hours on it playing it in and out. Phew. Good investment, but requires many hours to get the system down. Started playing Diablo II:LOD as a necromancer (aka fishymancer) and an amazon. Played multiplayer (mucho fun!!!)

3. Got my finance sorta worked out. Paid some overdued payment, and recently paid the deposit for a condo! Yes, I will be moving/renting or whatever it is... It'll only be ready in 3 years time... So that's late 2008/early 2009. And yes I think if I budget my stuff, I'll be able to survive on 3 ringgit meals. Hooray for cheapo food!

Anyway I gotta scoot off and get back to work... I think this might want to turn this into a regular thing again :)
