Oh my...

After my Kuching trip, I had to go to Kuantan for some more work. That was a week ago. The client was a university, and after 5+ year, I had to step back into U (although this time without the lectures and exams...)

It's feels familiar even though it's a different university than the one I took my degree. There was a subtle difference when you're there for work though. I can't quite place a finger on it.

Here's some more news:
I bought Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock for the Wii, downloaded Sin & Punishment for the virtual console and pre-ordered Super Mario Galaxy. I think that should keep me busy well into next year... Hahaha.

To those I have talked to, you people know that I'll be on a 2 week holiday trip to Amsterdam. My brother's currently working there, and since I haven't visited Netherlands yet, so why not? The trip will be taking place on the 14th of December and I'll be back on the 31st. I might make road trips to the surrounding countries like Germany or Poland while I'm there. Not sure what exactly is the plan just yet.

As of right now, I am currently divided doing a couple of things (excluding work), mainly getting my Flames of War 15mm Soviet army assembled, painted and prepped for gaming, guitar hero 3, "facebooking" and some other stuff. It should be an interesting finish to the year.

Also, it's almost the end of the year... I wonder how much of my New Year's resolution did I accomplish?

As usual... It's a weekday and I'm still up

I should probably be sleeping right now, but the fan above my bed is making some weird squeaking noise, so I think I'll sleep on the couch in the living room later.

I just cleaned up some links (after such a long time) and update the ones that are still around. Others, I have also updated, although I haven't gotten to adding any new ones. I promise I will! SRSLY.

I am currently on my last run in my current job, so therefore I will be pretty much squeezed until my last day. However, I will have to find time to clean up my desk (there's approximately 4 years worth of... junk memories) before I leave.

I was hoping to give out some training of everything I know about the system I've been working with for the past 4 years, but so far I haven't found the time.

I found out today that programming is like riding a bike. Once you knew how, it's easy to get back into doing it. I'm quite proud of the little program I designed (with a little help from my colleague, of course!). This should be my one of the last programs for my current company. I've got one more to settle.

I'm not sure if I delve into much of my work, but it's been quite a roller-coaster ride for the 4 years I've been here. There's been ups and downs, lefts and rights. The good, the bad and certainly the ugly. During my tenure here, my sleeping places have been at the following:
1. On the Bed
2. On the floor (cement or linoleum)
3. Office table
4. On the office document cabinets
4. On the office couch in the waiting area
5. Office chair (It's reclinable! Not my fault the chair's comfy!)
6. Tunnel (Oh, the Penchala tunnel days...)
7. Road (Also during the Penchala Tunnel days. This was during its pre-open days)
8. In electrical panels (Often enough, I must say)
9. Standing up (I was tired, okay?)
10. In the toilet (2 Hours/0 hours of sleep on a 72 hour run...)

I also plan to achieve some of my New Year's Resolution:

1. I resolve to find myself a girlfriend this year! Hahaha. After my last (and extremely short relationship - less than a month old!) 2 years ago, I feel I'm ready for another one.

2. With my new job, I plan to work the hours, but also find the time to get some time off. I may need to work shifts and all that, but at least it'll be controlled hours, and not like my current job.

3. Travel more! It has already begun with this almost unplanned Singapore trip.

4. Lose some weight. I'm growing a tummy. T_T

Wow

Looks like I'm not going to Sri Lanka yet. It's postponed till after the holidays.

I'm having a good time with Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Right now I'm at the 7th dungeon. So far everything is looking good. I also heard that the Weather channel is up. I shall update it when I get back home.

I might end up working during the holidays again. But surprisingly enough, this time I'm not so bitter. I guess it's because I've been slacking off quite a fair bit recently, and I should try to finish off whatever I need to do so that I can move on.

Also, in other news, some of you may know my younger brother. He's gotten a job in Netherlands doing market trading. After he finishes his degree in about 6 months, he'll be off. That's unless he finds another job that pays well in the UK...

I plan to start a (web)comic soon called Crazy Psycho Bitch From Hell: Based on a half-true story. I hope that I'll continue doing it after that. Hahaha. I'll probably use open canvas or something. Hahahahah. It's gonna be crude I tell you. CPBFH:BOAHTS (a real mouthful, eh?) will be a parody of sorts. I just hope whatever it is based on doesn't come to haunt me. Or douse me with gasoline and light me on fire.
