I hope I can finish tomorrow.

I have one more day to wrap things up, didn't really get to do much today though due to some technical mishap, that and of course the lack of information in regards to other settings which i obviously did not set in the first place. All in all if tomorrow goes as planned then i should be able to finish up all the important things by tomorrow.

I really hope i can finish everything by tomorrow though at least then i can go for training...woohoo!!! yeah right, so for all those people that haven't left school yet and think working is all about...well working, then i'm sorry to burst your bubble but that is so far from the truth. Of course work is all about learning new things but if you were in my line of work you actually HAVE to study....sheesh, and here i thought i left school already.

There is a big difference from learning and studying by the way so please don't mix the two up. So why do i have to study again? Well for one there is that exam i have been doing nothing but complaining about and yes i only have 2 more weeks before i go take it and yes this is also the last time i'm gonna postpone the date of the exam....and secondly theres the training, technically training is not really studying but the more you think about it the more it seems like training.

Anyway...after reviewing how the new interface of my blog looks like i realized that i don't really like it, it seems a little....i don't know, messy??? hard to read??? Can't really find the word to describe it, but whatever it is it has been bugging me since i changed it. Especially those lines running across everywhere like every post has like 2 lines or so...well its good in a sense that you know where it starts and where it ends but it just somehow makes it...ah forget it. Oh well i think i'll just look into it when i have more time.

Frustratingly Good

Today has was a frustratingly good day, frustrating because before lunch i was so frustrated with troubleshooting that i swear if anyone were to have poked me i would get up and beat the shit out of the poor guy so bad that even his mama won't recognize him....yes that frustrated. But like i said that was before lunch la, it was good after lunch because the case was solved. I was so glad and relieved that the thing finally worked after two very very frustrating days of going through materials of how to solve the case. Oh well guess you can say its one of those days at work la huh?

Now that the biggest stumbling block has been removed i can continue with my work and assuming everything runs smoothly (not putting too much hopes on this one), i can get this done by the end of the week....at least i hope to get it done by the end of the week. I really hope i can get everything up by the end of the week though, because i'm suppose to go for training next week and i really really really want to go for that training. Well obviously if my job at my current project is not done then no training for me la....so i'm really pushing myself to get things done.

Hey i didn't really slack my ass off to get into this situation ok....its just bad timing and bad luck that things started falling apart when it was all fine. Conclusion about computer stuff: It can be doing fantastic one minute and the next minute it'll just fuck up and die in front of you...Well then again i guess that applies to most things anyway. Well got work to do, i think i should go read up to prepare myself for tomorrow at least that way i'd know what to do the minute i get in. Oh and just in case you haven't noticed...i've finally migrated my old blog to the new blogger beta, hrm....think i'll do some tweaking when i have more time, but as for now i really need to find food first.

Nothing new

Been so busy lately, and still busy...its probably gonna be like this for awhile though, which in a way is a good thing at least i ain't complaining about not having work to do. And i have to run around abit sometime this week, the plus side to that is at least i get to plan which day i wanna go run around town so that's not really a bad thing la i guess. The only drawback i guess is i get all tired after work that i get damn lazy to drive out for dinner again...so most of the time I'm just thinking that i should just skip dinner and chill at home, well not really the best idea but its definitely an idea. Hey after all i did gain weight....damn, need to loose that excess fat else i won't be able to wear any of my clothes. Although it does make good excuse to go shopping....hrm, bah i think I'll just stick to being scrawny ol' me. Oh well, think i should kick back and relax now before i try to find someone to take me out for dinner, lol.

Start a Day with a Surprise

For once (in a long while at least) i've managed to wake up early and get to my colleagues place so that we can car pool to work reaching there early...or were we just on time? Bah doesn't matter point is 'I' was early, something that you don't see everyday. If only more people were there at that time when i got in, they must have been surprised to see me there at that hour, lol. Speaking of surprises i got one myself early this morning. I received a message from someone who i never thought would have messaged me, well i was definitely caught off guard for that one hahaha... so much so that i didn't really know what to do. But considering how busy i've been especially over the past couple of weeks (and a few more weeks to come) i didn't manage to read the message till some time after lunch and then its back to work again. Sigh i guess you could call it a pleasant surprise la hearing from someone who you haven't heard from or seen in a very long time...oh well i better get around to replying that message, i believe i'm like 12 hours overdue or something...lol.

Long Work Day

This is definitely the first time i've worked this late in months, i am so fucking tired that i'm probably just mumbling some rubbish right now. Oh yeah so where have i been right? Yeah well as you all can probably guess by now i've been so fucking busy that i barely have time to even reply mails (that are not work related)...so seriously blogging would definitely not be any where near my 'to do' list. But i thought that i should take a breather for today even though i'm so god damn tired and just rant or bitch whichever you prefer to call it about how hectic things are for me right now.

Like i've mentioned in my previous posts, exams are creeping up on me at a very alarming rate. And yes even though i was suppose to have taken it by now i obviously haven't due to some unforeseen circumstances, therefore my exams have been put on hold for the time being until i sort out some issues. Secondly the work has been pilling up as of late, funny thing is i'm still on the same project with the same amount of work. So now why is work pilling up...well simply because things start fucking up, this can easily be translated to troubleshooting.

Now for those of you who are not familiar about the term troubleshooting, it simply means countless of hours wasted on trying to find out what the fuck is wrong with something and why the fuck did it stop working. And more often then not the solution is so simple that it takes a mere second to fix things (exaggerated) but it takes a fucking long time to find out the root of the problem. So right now everyday i'm sitting in front of the laptop trying to figure out whats wrong by reading text files that go on forever and ever about something that doesn't make sense and experimenting with the 'what happens if i do this?', which in turn (if unlucky) would give me more problems.

Well you know what they say curiosity killed the cat, but what better way to learn then jumping in head first right...lol. So to sum everything that i've been doing lately i'll just use three words, work, eat and sleep. Yup thats probably bout it, haven't even washed my car for like what...3 weeks now? Gawd its so fucking dirty...i had better wash it this week or else its really gonna be a chore when i finally get around to doing it. By the way if anyone is interested in getting an Apple Nano 4gig, please email me....its brand new just so you know. Sleep....need sleep!!!

Study Study Study

Ah yes its been awhile hasn't it...Well what can i say, i've been so absolutely busy recently with work and studies. My study breaks consist of releasing some stress by playing some games which require some killing involve, well obviously i'm doing all the killing la else i would be even more stress if i was the one getting killed right? Anyhow today i'm alone at work and it has been an utterly boring day cause i don't really have anyone to talk to here, and no i don't mean talk talk i mean talk as in 'How do you do this?' kind of talk.

Studying has seen some progress lately and i think after the more advanced implementation that we had recently (still on going i might add) i have gained some substantial knowledge to further increase my knowledge in the product. Well it wasn't really all that much to begin with anyway, however i'm still a long way off from being able to pass the paper...sigh this is so depressingly unmotivating. Besides the exam theres all that work although i've pretty much done my entire part i can't say that its completed yet, so still got quite a bit to go on that part.

On a good note i've been getting to work on time lately, hahaha....yeah thats something new, in a good way of course. Ok ok enough bout work, hey did you guys here that the new extremely highly anticipated next generation console is out in Japan, yup thats right i'm talking about the PS3. And did you see the queues that was generated due to its release??? Madness i tell you simply madess....if i were one of them i'd just wait until later to get one. But no thanks i really can't afford one anyway....its so expensive, what to do they just take the price and convert only how to not expensive.

Then theres people in America lining up camping outside the stores to get their PS3 Units not one, not two, not three but nine...yes nine fucking days ahead of the launch. I don't know i'm not much of a camping kind of person so there is no way in hell that i would sit out there in the blistering cold (Even though i love cold weather) for nine days just so i can say that i'm the first guy to buy a PS3 on this side of the planet. I'll probably just pay some guy to go camp there for me, now thats a plan and thats how things should be done.

Ok now i know i'm suppose to post up pics of the new notebook that i've just acquired (not with my money mind you), but unfortunately i can't really do that now so i think i'll just edit this post later and post it up as well as alter this last paragraph. So this is the pre pictures post...stay tuned for the post pictures post....nah don't its just pictures, not like its a new sports car or something of that magnitude, well looks like i better get back to studying.

Mmmmm....Black.

Yes its not the much sought after Intel Core 2 Duo.

More Work

Oh no, got a big presentation this coming friday, and off all people i have to go first...sigh why me!!!??? I hate doing presentations, and most of all i hate being asked questions so i seriously hope that they don't ask me anything that i can't answer. Well my colleagues will be there la so even if i can't answer i'm sure that one or two of them are more then capable of answering whatever it is they throw at me, but still i'll look stupid...not like i'm not la but still, lol!!!

The day went almost exactly like how i thought it would have, thanks to the late night yesterday i woke up late. Nevermind that i didn't even have enough sleep, so if i actually was too tied up with work and someone asks me something i will actually get a migrane just thinking about it. Man that really sucked, thanks to that i was taking things nice and slow. Nevertheless i managed to finish my task. So now all thats left is a few more tiny bits of pieces here and there...you know touch up work and familiarize myself before the presentation.

In RedBox

Well believe it or not i am currently blogging in redbox...yes redbox the karaoke place where everyone sings their hearts out. So what exactly am i doing here? Well you see it so happens that today is a birthday celebration for not one, not two but four of my colleagues...woohoo!!! But no la its not really all of them ber birthday together la, but you know la since we all working and all we are all very very busy people so we just decided to celebrate together gether la, easier that way anyway. But i would dare say the best news today is that i'm blogging from my brand-spanking-new notebook...Woohoo!!! Why simply because my old one went kaput on me, i guess i really ran the poor thing to its limits playing WoW and all sorts of other games. Well its not really dead la but its more like my hard disk drive is gone....sniff sniff. Fortunately a friend has managed to boot it up so all i need now is to get a HDD enclosure so that i can put it in to backup all the data.

Now for the bad news, i have been put under extreme pressure because i need to do my certification. Well i know i've been talkin bout that but the thing is if i fail marginally its ok la, but if i do really badly (Which i think i will) then i'm really fucked....and i mean seriously fucked. Then of course i've got some issues that i have to sort out, the main problem here is i know what to do but at the same time u don't know if i can handle it. So in that sense i think i'm screwed as well....sigh, if i were to summarise the last two months i'll have to say its mostly been fucked up. Oh well i guess all i can really do is try my best and pray....Pray really hard. Well i'll try to put some pictures up when i have the time, until then i guess i have to start singing or something, lol...Sigh.

Support

I had a call from support today regarding some work issues that my incompetent brain couldn't solve. Well i got the reply yesterday actually but everything was through email, so nothing big there until of course i actually replied the mail and then i received a phone call from an anonymous number nevertheless. To be honest i didn't really want to answer the call in the first place thinking that this might be some funny phone call, but i thought then 'hey what the hell, if i don't want to speak to the person i could always say i'm busy right'. And so when i picked up i was surprise to hear a girls voice, and a rather cute voice too i might add. The best part was it was a call from the support that was corresponding to my 'distress' signal...lol.

Initially when i got the reply through mail i thought that i was dealing with a guy, i knew the support was coming from China and i didn't really like the idea since i might have real problems trying to communicate with the person. Well i'm not saying that they can't speak but i'm more worried about the accent and that would result in repeating ourselves over and over again and that would really prove to be time consuming. But i think today was pretty ok since i actually manage to understand what the support was trying to say so its all good. She was kinda cute too cause she was trying so hard to explain to me the solution to my problems and all, and i could tell that she was really having a hard time.

And for your information i didn't see how she looks like and neither do i intend to, but after today i think any bad things i have to say about speaking with chinese support well i'll take it all back because they are really good. My problems was instantly solve after that phone call, yup thats right by listening to her advice on how to solve my problem i actually manage to work things out and everything is progressing smoothly. As a matter of fact i had a few colleagues who had similar experiences with China's support and they really do things fast and they're very good at what they do too...seriously i'm impressed (Although it doesn't really take that much to impress me). The one thing i felt funny talking to that support girl though was that her name is similar to one of my buddies name so that was kinda of a turn off. For those of you who are curious to know which of my buddy...well all i say is he's the 'Rain Maker' Lol!!!!
