Oh yes, 2009 is here!!
And yes, I am still around. Lol.
Been trying to be busy for the past few weeks. Busy with OT, and programming, and solving problems at work. Busy with evaluations, debugging, testing, and all sorts of things here and there.
And sometimes I really wonder, why certain things end up in my court, when initially, it's not? Often, this will end up wasting each other's time, because my answers will be like the following.
"I don't know"
"How I know"
"Har"
"Diaoz"
Last week was Christmas week. Before that week, we had our own team makan session at Sakura. We had planned for a gift exchange whereby we would get gifts, but would not know who they were from. But then, by now, I think most people will already have the answers. Wahaha…
Well, it was lots of fun guessing who bought for who. I got a wallet which I think was not suitable for my use, as I am currently a man of many cards…
Makan session was great! Great buffet. Lol. After that, we went to Orchard to get a drink, and crapped.
Can you imagine, going down all the way to Orchard, just to get a drink? Wahahaha…
And then waited for a cab from 11.30pm till the next day, around 12.20am… Crazy leh.
We had a Christmas celebration at one of the offices on Christmas Eve! We each had to buy a present for the gift exchange! And of all numbers, I had to draw out number 42 (my boss' gift), and to my horror (alright, not that horrible though. Lol) it's tea leaves in a metal casing!
Well well, nice casing. Lol.
And as I was typing this, a mosquito came by. Looks like it had its supper. Rest in peace, mozzie.
I bought a USB TV Tuner a few days back, and realised that my ancient computer is not fast enough to handle it. Wahaha… Diaoz currently looking for some guy to 'acquire' it from me, so that I can use that money to buy some other things…
And yesterday was New Year Eve. Nothing much though. Went over to IMM to get my self-given christmas present – Sansa Express 2GB. I was considering this and Sansa Clip, but bought the former. So far, the sound quality is good enough. Wahaha…
Went over to Parc Oasis to help collect Vanessa's books from Amanda. 3 thick books of duno-what-topics. Should be bio-related I guess. Wahaha…
Ate dinner at home, and then became too lazy to get out of home. And so, I counted down with Channel 8. Lol.
Maybe I should just get out of home. Heh.
Played tennis like siao last week. And this week too. It rained just now, and the session was cut short. Lalala… I love rain. Wahhaa…
Ok, a recollection of 2008 (somehow, in some order which is not chronological):
- Completed 4 years of stuffs, and graduated with 2nd lower honours.
- Got my best grade, A+, for a 12 MC module. Wahhaa. No that did not managed to pull me up to 2nd upper.
- Got a book prize, for doing well for that 12 MC module. Free money.
- Got ditched once again. Ok ok, not ditched. Got kicked. No. Got slammed. No also.. Ok ok, got rejected. Again. One fine day, I may just get too used to being rejected…
- Got into one of the SBAs of one of my top choice companies. The Japan company did not want me. That Jalan Boon Lay SBA told me that they had enough EE people for the year. The-One-That-Operates-Trains did not get back to me at all. Pulled in 2 other people into that SBA to suffer together.
- Using my first pay, I got myself a Yonex RQiS-1-Tour, and loving it.
- Using Courts installment plan, I got a LCD TV and a home theatre system. Wireless rear speakers. Yeah. And I emailed them a few days ago. They said I cannot cut short the repayment period. So sianz. Meaning I have to pay more interest. Shit.
- Using the credit card, bought a Canon 1000D, and loving it. Paying 'subscription fee' every month.
- Cleared the PPCDL course, and the examinations. That reminds me. I have to do the claims soon.
- Cleared the probation period.
Well well, what's in for 2009?
- Save, save, save, and pay off my debts.
- Keep my job, in order to do the above.
- Enjoy while I still can.
- Aim for downgrade for NS ASAP. I just cannot do that IPPT in my current state. They said that slipped disc is a straight-to-PES-E thingy. I shall see. Aw… I want to go back to unit. To slack though. Wahhaa…
- On the radar, and detect the correct people.
- Take nice pictures, because every photo should tell its story.
- What else? Basically I don't have much aims la… I am quite contented with what I have (or do not have) now.
