Wow, time sure flies since I completed my NS stint. A year and a half after that I graduated with my bachelors degree and now I have actually been working for five years.No doubt I treat some of my closest friends better than I do my own family. But that’s just me.It is true that ...
When this happened, I was probably pissed with someone. But now I can’t even remember who I was talking about… or even the project I was working on. Guess this goes to show the abstract-ness of my entries… when I look back in retrospect, I do not provide enough information to recall what the hell ...
I’m kind of in a bad place right now.I ain’t perfect I admit that, but that is because I am human.I am entitled to be just as fucked-up as anyone else.And so, I backslided as the Devil beckoned. “How come the only way to know how high you get me, is to see how far I ...
It seems that these days I just blog with increasing irregularity. I think there are just too many other things that I want to do than write an entry. Part having to study, play games and also because I have found a confidante that I can tell things to, thus making this space rather redundant. ...
Next week I will be heading Down Under to deliver another training… and I am starting to get worried.It could be the fact that there is a monetary deal that depends on this training, it could also be that there is a lot of expectations riding on my shoulders because everyone is looking forward to ...
Well to think five years ago today I was this close to graduation. Coming up in two months will be my fifth year into the working world…I miss playing soccer with my Brisbanites… those days we used to play soccer so often it was crazy! It doesn’t help that the World Cup is on and ...
Blog stalking ooooh… I still do that these days and honestly I can tell you, it’s so hard to find good ones. I mean sure there are plenty of people who still blog but many actually do it for monetary purposes and that’s just shit. For others, I’m not involved in their lives and so ...
Final Fantasy XIII was released just a few days ago but I haven’t bought the game nor even made a customary preorder. Mainly because I don’t know when I would be able to pick up my controller and play without the worry of pending work on my mind.In my first job, work was always mixed ...
For the uninitiated, I switched over to a new job a few weeks ago. Tomorrow starts my fourth week, and I have to say I’m slightly overwhelmed. Looking at the knowledge I need to grasp scares me, partly because this is similar to what I used to do in my first job and also it ...
It’s true how you never know what you’ve got till you’ve lost it. Because we always tend to take things for granted. Not many are capable of stopping themselves every so often to take stock of their lives.The good things we have in life always tend to get overlooked and rarely do get credited when ...
Hmmm I think it was only a hiatus of a week… comparing that to the usual of these days. It should actually be nothing really.I know which subject I was talking about that made me pissed off… It was Cryptography and it was an elective that I chose… I could’ve picked an easier one but ...
I’ve become such a boring person.Golf used to be a fortnightly affair with range practices weekly, but that has dwindled down to once every two months (if I’m lucky). I also barely go out these days, when normally I’d be out meeting a friend for a drink or coffee. Heck sometimes I don’t even step ...
In a blink of an eye it has been five years in addition to those four years that I have been blogging. I have to say that I still haven’t been too regular about it but heck, I wonder if anybody even reads this reminisce page anyway.Interestingly this reminisce page is exactly what I meant ...
Well then, for the uninitiated (mainly those not Facebook friends of mine), I’m engaged. Yes I’m actually finally getting married!The proposal was nothing extravagant nor showy, just a simple act done by the bedside in Phuket when we were there for another wedding. The ring was custom designed (copied if you will) and just the ...
It’s been close to a year since I got the original iPad as a surprise present from the girl… and I haven’t looked back since.In the beginning I didn’t quite use it as much, bringing it around only to surf the net (if WiFi was available) or look at pretty vector drawing apps to amuse ...
One of the things that has been bugging me recently is the indignance of feeling underpaid. I’m quite sure almost everybody feels the same and no ordinary person would say that they are paid enough… it will probably never really be enough.Working for close to half a decade now, my pay has risen to above ...
Well the year is coming to a close and it feels to have just flown by. Like seriously whizzed by. It doesn’t feel too long ago when I was on this same day last year counting down, Christmas just over and me being in a new job.I don’t remember much about the first quarter, other ...
Last week we celebrated our first year anniversary. It’s scary to realize how fast time blitzes by when you’re not looking, and now we are almost at Christmas once again.The year that passed has been nothing short of fantastic with a lovingly quirky girlfriend who gets me (mostly) and it’s been an absolute blast of ...
When someone told me that you’d be of a certain kind of character, I never quite believed it. Somehow I had a more forgiving view of people, guess I never really learnt my lesson. To put it in a sense one of my friends would coin it (bad pun), you’re a five-cents face.You helped to ...
Well well… here we are in 2011. I swear that I wanted to write this at least five days ago, funny thing is - occasionally while I was playing my PS3, I would glance over to my bookshelf and see a book previously gifted to me - Living With Procrastination. Hahha how apt, I even ...
