Headache.....

Hey! The Sunday library trip wasn't that bad, until the photocopying begins. Was there by 10am, and it was dead quiet till you kind of get the vacuum feeling in your ears. Peaceful, quiet, tranquility, and knowledge all around. Maybe 1 day when I feel vexed, I'll go there, find a comfortable corner, and just sit down and relax.

After collecting the RUR book from the counter, went to find the scary 2700 pages books. It was no typo. But they were good enough to break it into 5 books, so at least they look more manageable. Flip flip flip......... soooooo many words! Basically didn't read most of the things, just briefly glance at the titles and read a bit to see if it's relevant, and marked it for copying. Many interesting diagrams and facts inside which I did not know, and they inspired me with new ideas!And of course there's the boring part where I stay in the copy room for such a long time copying sooooo many pages, about 200+ pages I guess. I was so worried that I might break some copyright law, but I think it's ok since we are using those information for research, and it is less than 10% of all pages.

Left the library at about 1pm+, and headed for Bras Basah Complex. I like this place because so many art materials to explore! I love hands-on things, you know? Was looking at the paint section, and there are soooooo many types of paint. Used to be only crayons, colour pencils and poster colours during the school days, now they have strange things like '3D' paint. Very interesting, hope to be experimenting with them when I have the chance.

After that, I headed for the CSC flea market, toys haven. Not much to see at the market, kind of disappointed. Seems like the same few stalls occupying the same few spots. There was more things to explore during the CQ days. Didn't stay for long and headed for my friend's shop at Lucky Chinatown. Basically stay there for the whole day, although I have 'spot' headache from the afternoon around 3pm+ onwards, I think I breath in too much carbon, and was nauseous after dinner taking a ride home. Minor headache still 'haunts' me, till today, even as I'm typing now. Think I need to get some green tea to 'clean' up my body.

Hungry, going for lunch. Byeee! Update again soon ;-)

Sunday......

Sunday........... my boss, aka my uncle, ask me to go to the library to do some research! And he'll be there with me. It's a Sunday!! A family day, a day to relax, a day to wake up late, and laze in bed..........
Well, looking things on the bright side, I'll be gaining invaluable knowledge, and trying out being hardworking on a lazy Sunday morning. But it's a 2700(!!!) pages book I'm tackling. I hope that is a typo.... will find out in another few hours time. Time to sleep. :-)

A long one. Ready? Get set... GO!!!

ok, suddenly another friend(who is so lazy to read anything) read my blog when she got nothing better to do and told me that I seems to complain too much on my blog. Well, maybe it's true, coz I'm not the kind who will complain in your face, so this becomes an avenue to let things out. Sometimes, I'm too quiet for my own good. But well, that's me, or else it wouldn't be me right?

ok, let's see, what happened around me recently....

Work (boring part):
Quite crappy, coz I did quite some testing for a software "ver 1.5" but in the end, it will not be implemented, and will directly jump to "ver 2.0". Ver 1.5 works on our current old handheld computers, while "ver 2.0" on new ones, which I hopefully will be placing the order later, COZ...... I spent over 3 months communicating with suppliers(including Singapore, USA, UK, Germany) for the best price and service, only to be rebuted by some 'newbie' that I am very free and can find a better supplier with cheaper price. Negotiation with the supplier was already settled, he even loan us a test unit, and I was even about to send out the order when our dear IT consultant offer us a 'better' offer, which turns out to be crap. He did furthermore offer us 2 other choices, but they turn out craps too. End up wasting over 1 month on those talking, and some RUDE attitude from the IT consultant. Think he is upset that he won't be able to make a commission from reselling the handheld computers, but in the 1st place, he was the one who interupted our process at the very last minute, and causing some tension between me and the supplier(who happens to be his friend). I can't believe that he is so despicable to try to snatch business from his friend! And telling his friend we won't be considering him anymore as his price is too high! What a backstabber! I wouldn't want to work with this kind of people if I've got a choice.

Love (interesting yah? but...):
this part is still quite empty. Have a feeling some lady(or should I call her a girl) is interested in me, but no confirmation since there is no action from both of us. I'm not moving coz I think the situation is not right, and her being the female, must be shy to be proactive. So, no interesting stories here.

Life:
Life has always been good for me. I am blessed to have never gone hungry, and don't have to worry about the basic necessities. I have good parents, and a very stable job. In fact, it is so good that I'm over indulging in myself so much that I'm getting myself into trouble for over spending. I know at some point I have to stop, but I haven't reach that point yet. I hope soon! And thinking of parting with some of my extras collection for that cash to indulge myself some more. Oh man, my room is already like a warehouse, help needed.....

Friendship:
Another one of my good friend getting married, and I'm invited to be his 'brother'. So happy for him, finally settling down after 8 years together. Wish him more blissful days ahead.
So many of my good friends married within1 year, 4 of them(out of 10 and so)!!! And my brother also. Good year for those around me. And all these wedding bells are also making me think of my love policy again.
Oooohh ooohhh, got to mention this friend, she's such a brave ger! My dear Wendy! She shaved her long hair for charity(see link below), for the Children's Cancer Foundation to be exact! Do your part for the children too, but donating generously to their cause. Donations can be done online here using credit card: http://www.ccf.org.sg/hfh/online/pledge.php?shavee=jf0xvjpqd34d2y5u7yhp60zc1ilo3tsd
And of coz there are those that I wish to know better but somehow not in the same frequency. As for these, just hope one day the frequency will match.
And as I'm writing this, thinking about my dear Guen who is somewhere in Egypt(last known location). Still remember those days when she told me she is leaving and tears flow down uncontrollably as I sat at the back of the bus. She's so bad! Made me cry in public, I'm a man ok! Haha.... Those were such fun days.... I miss you Guenny! =P

Ok, done, wrote quite a lot, must have been quite bored =P
