Hmmmm…
It’s yet another Christmas! The night before Christmas was spent at the pool place! LOL it’s been some time since I last visited that place. Lim Teck and Xinli.
Totally different group this time.
Plans, as the years go by, change accordingly. Things change. We do what humans do best. Adapt.
————————————————————-
Played pool, and ate McDonald’s after that. Now, I am very full, and quite sleepy. I want to sleep soon, but I think I should hold on a little bit longer. Watch some shows, listen to some songs, and read some blogs.
Read some blogs.
Nowadays, when I go around blog-visiting, it is easy: type URL. Read heading. Type next URL.
…
Updates are rare.
Blogs are a dying thing…
Well well. Even for me, my posts are getting shorter. It’s not that I have nothing to write. I have no motivation to write those long entries anymore. When I write long essays, they are more like a historical reference for me, to go back and read them once in a blue moon.
And long posts are often emo posts.
I have chosen the non-emo path.
Or maybe, my heart is just… so dead? LOL.
I will just keep my heart to myself. Hahaha. No sharing!
————————————————————-
Saturday. I shall see what I want to do in the morning. After I wake up.
It’s another Christmas again! Nothing has changed.
For this year’s Christmas, I shall be good, and not ask anyone out.
No. No girls.
Or rather, no girl to ask out.
Even before asking, I already know the outcome.
Or rather, I assume that I know.
It has failed so many times that, you just hope that previously, you have not tried to ask before.
—————————————————————————
Ok, enough of emo thoughts. LOL. I think the above lines are enough. Yeah.
—————————————————————————
Christmas gift exchange this year was at a higher level in terms of people involved. LOL. I mean, in quantity. Well, it should have more though. Some left. Some did not join in. Etc etc etc.
It seems like, we are not really in line with our objectives sometimes eh? As a team…
I see such events as team events. If people are missing, it can mean a lot of things. Genuine cases aside, of course.
First question is: do they feel like part of the team? Second question is: do they want to be part of the team?
Ok, it’s just some thoughts. Random thoughts. It’s Christmas anyway. LOL
—————————————————————————
This year, someone gave me a book!!! I forgot the title though. I have not started reading it. Heh. Maybe soon, if I am really bored.
And this year’s presents were quite special…LOL. There’s even bedsheets! WTH.
The ultimate winner present: Titus.
Now, isn’t that a bit over?
—————————————————————————
Been going around places, swim, shop, rot, stone, sleep, whatever. It’s good to have some me time. Enough of work.
However, I am also looking at work sometimes. LOL. Especially software. I am always constantly finding ways to improve on software.
No. Software are not stupid. They never are.
—————————————————————————
It’s already Christmas eve! Oooo!
You know, it’s kind of better to do programming in an environment where you can really relax where possible, sleep where possible, and do whatever you like that when you are just super pissed off with programming.
That’s why, I think, office environment is not really a good place to work on programming.
Firstly, there are so many other distractions. Suddenly, the phone rang. A while later, you have to attend to another problem. Soon after, it’s lunch time. And then, boss wants to talk about something. Etc etc etc…
And before you know it, it’s 6pm.
WTH.
At home, it’s different. I can go for a swim. I can go and watch TV. I can eat at any time I want. I can even work at midnight.
Like now.
No, I am not doing programming now. I am just giving an example. LOL.
Programming for me, is all about feel. When I feel like it, I can complete something within 1 hour. If I feel shitty, I will be staring at the screen for 1 whole day, and I will have only completed one minor part.
——————————————————-
Anyway, the main point is: I am on leave. LOL.
Alright, I am back in Singapore!
Actually, I have been back since Wednesday, just that, I was so sianz, so I never bothered to update.
Got diarrhoea.
It’s been 3 days already, and I am still having it.
Zzz…
It’s been 4 weeks! 4 weeks of overseas work! LOL!
Lalalalaa…
Been working like crazy. I just don’t seem to find the energy to discuss about work after work… I mean, after 6pm. It just… feels not right, and I just… feel tired, wet, cold, and zzz.
Sianz.
There’s nothing much to update actually. Work, work, and work.
Oh yeah, we had spaghetti for lunch on Sunday! Dimanche! Heh. Carbonara, with bak kua and mushrooms. Yummy! Wahahah!
Oooo it’s been another week! Time passes real fast here, I think. Or rather, maybe it’s because we have been extremely busy since Tuesday.
Lalala…
Been going out for sea trials. It’s cold. Damn cold. Imagine, wind speeds of around 8 knots blowing on your face, temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius and below, and with drizzle almost everyday, on and off. The best thing was on Thursday. Rain, and then, hail, and then, snow. Brrr…
I hate it when my gloves get wet. Then I have to remove my gloves. Then my hands will start to turn red. You know the feeling of soaking your hands in a pail of ice water with ice cubes in it? Yeah, that’s the feeling. Try that for hours, and that will be what I am feeling. LOL.
The weather has been abnormal. It usually does not snow in Brest. And even if it does, it is in January. It’s now end November. Oh well. Strange weather.
It snowed today! LOL. The weather forecast is good. 5 days ago, I was already looking at the forecast. It said snow. oOoo.. and indeed it snowed on Sunday. Pro…
It’s quite nice to see white everywhere…
A white Christmas feel, eh?
Went to the airport to fetch the chef. LOL. Jojo’s bf’s here! He was damn garang to be wearing only a T-shirt and jeans while waiting for the luggage. Another cold pro…
Went shopping on Saturday to prepare for the snow, and also to find better ways to keep warm out at sea. Bought a pair of leather gloves from Jules, and a coat from H&M. Gonna try that gloves and coat out at sea tomorrow. It should be good, I suppose. LOL. If now, oh well, red hands and shivering body once again…
A few more weeks, and I will be done here. Will my back get better by then? Strangely, I thought my back had gotten better since Thursday, but then, it got a bit worse on Friday night. Hmmm… perhaps it’s the overall that was passed to us to try. It was a bit too small for me. I managed to squeeze in, but it restricted my movements. Yeah. That’s the cause. LOL…
Ok, going to rest soon…
Oooo… It’s Sunday, and second week in France! 14 days already.
It’s been ok so far. I guess. Been slacking away. The sun only comes out at around 8am, and disappears by 6pm.
Winter.
It’s cold, but then, it’s shiok. The temperature now is currently around 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. Still not too bad a temperature. But in the morning, it can be quite cold. Sometimes, it’s not the temperature that matters. It’s the wind.
When the cold wind blows…
LOL.

Been stoning around since morning. Watching anime here and there. Went to the Sunday market in the morning. Lots of yummy stuffs! Shall try them one by one. Heh. Food there is cheaper too. Somehow. LOL.
I think I shall try to cut down on food. There’s no tennis for me to play here. Not much physical activities here. I shall control food intake.
Sianz. I want tennis. I want squash. I want swim.
I need swim. I need rebuilding… I need back conditioning.
