Working weekends...

And so it happened that i went to see Guy Sebastian in action on Sunday...it was a good worship altogether, although i was a little taken aback when he showed up without his signature hair - Overpermed-explosion-like hair style...

Along with his brother Ollie Sebastian and worship leader Anna Button, and the team from his home church Paradise Community Church, Adelaide, they put up quite a spectacular show featuring songs composed by none other than his brother himself...

I was interested when the pastor extended his invitation for us to attend the annually conference, namely 'Influence' at his church in Adelaide...After my visit to Hillsongs Church, Sydney, i have been utterly impressed by the aussie's with the worship they come out with...I would definitely like to visit Australia again, and i plan to do so after my trip to NZ...apparently it's cheaper to fly from NZ to Aus...so, we'll see about that...

Due to insufficient sleep yesterday, i was quite tired during the concert and dozed off a couple of times when the pastor was sharing...and it was pretty warm inside the hall, triggering me to perspire...but all in all, they're all good, and we had a great time at GT...

But i digress...

Earlier while working, PAMELA GILDEY (fyi, she's a celebrity, she stars in CSI)called...she is actually one of the featured celebrity player in our games...and can u believe it, i picked up that call!! so she was telling me that she won a game playing yesterday and that she has not received her money...i talked to her for a while (30 minutes) and promised her i will credit the money into her account...geez, how cool was that? she's a very courteous woman who speaks humbly without any air at all...Needless to say, she has made my day...i dun mind working their time if i can get my chance talking to the celebs...Other featured celebrities include James Wood, Dennis Quiad, Matt Damon...among others...

Im still getting used to this star-studded games in which im supporting...i have the ability to give real money (US dollar) to players, issue them tickets and even chat with them in the lobby...This is not such a boring job after all...

Maybe i will stick around for a while...

Look forward to seeing other people celebrating deepavali and Raya...coz the city will be DESERTED...and i can enjoy myself shopping these few days...in peace...

Breaking NEWS.....FCUK is having sales up to 70%...go grab it, people...and dun spread the news around...we dun wanna bump into some1 from the street wearing the sames jeans and T-shirt rite? Dun wanna make the brand cheap...

With that said...Happy Halloween everybody...

Treats or Tricks? You tell me....

puffy eyes...

Lately, people have been asking me if i have slept well, coz my eyes look swollen, and what's suppose to be the white area is no longer white in colour, i wouldnt be bothered about the black area though, since it changes colour all the time...lol...from green to turquoise to light blue to hazel to grey...constantly evolving into something new...

and so i was somewhat concerned, it just wont do walking around broad daylight looking like a zombie from residence evil...gosh, i hope i can get back to regular shift soon, this midnight thingy is taking its toll on me...it jz aint worth it...

I am pissed...i had to cancel a drinking session today so that i can rest at home before i go to work at 12am...i thought it was necessary to rejuvenate before i wear myself out...i can barely hold on anymore...i am weary...i wanna watch movies...i wanna drink some mai tai...i need time out....badly...

This morning i invited Edward over to O'brien's for breakfast, i ordered a BLT sandwich while he had his club sandwich...I always like breakfasting at O'brien's coz they serve really wholesome and hearty sandwiches, not unlike Oliver's...i like particularly edward's club, which is served of coz with the essentials (BLT namely bacon, lettuce and tomato), along with ham and cheddar...absolutely scrumptious...

Before O'brien was opened at the Curve, i frequent Coffee bean's breakfast, sometimes Delifrance, and totally avoid Mcdonald's breakfast altogether...which serve horrendous coffee and 'cheesy' scrambled eggs...i like particularly the salmon scrambled egg at CB, and the idea of free-flowing coffee...yeah, im a coffee person, that explains why i adore Bailey's, Kahlua and Amarula...

Nothing comes better than to have a cup of ice-blended caramel, grande, and a set of jigsaw puzzles...i think im gonna get one set this weekend, just to add to my collection of jigsaws...but i wont get it from Jigsaw Puzzle World though, it's too expensive, and im currently saving my travelling fees...perhaps i will try getting one at one of the bookstores...

geez...i dun look forward to working tomorrow night at all...can you imagine getting off work at 8am and go straight to church like devil from hell? Im sure, however...that God will give me the strength i need to get to His temple...

I really need a new job...

random thoughts...

It's almost 3...in the wee hours...

Yeah, guess what...im still up and about...working...

this is taking a toll on me, my routines are all screwed up, and im losing contact with everyone i know...

This morning i was cycling in the gym...and incredibly, i dozed off...

really, i dunno if this is right...coz it sure doesnt seem like one...

On the contrary, boss is being very caring...he bought in a toaster and a microwave oven...and a refrigerator is coming in as well...Apparently he thinks that we can start making our breakfast and snacks and whatnot in the office...so that we dun hafta take time off to search for food...

Im munching on my pringles right now...perhaps i should bring in something healthier like cereals or oat bars or something...cant put my health in jeopardy...

Looking forward to go to the fun fair this saturday at 1-U...after reading 'the five people you meet in heaven' by Mitch Albom, i always have a craving for fairs...When i was younger, i used to pester my mom to bring my brother and i to get our hands on the hoops, the ferris wheel, and of coz, the carousel...what fond memories then...bringing home stuffed toys, stationery, junks...

Plan to go to Borders to get hold of some books sooner than later...

I luv reading...

thoughtless...

This morning, i woke up to find the entire house empty...my effort to locate my family members prove futile...no one was anywhere to be found! I looked at the clock and it read 10:00...

then i know, it's Monday morning, brother has gone to college, and my parents should be in town...The question is, why am i home-bound on a Monday morning?

Well, as of today, i am put on a midnight shift AKA graveyard shift from 12am to 8am...the very thought of it gives me the shiver...seriously, who would stay awake at 12 midnight? hmm, let's not think of it as the time to party, k?

Personally, i really have no problem working midnight shift, truth is, i HAVE NOT endeavour it before...so i guess it's good for a change....the only thing that is holding me back is...well...there shall be less drinking session while i work on this shift...

Alright, as much as i love drinking, im not going to work at 12am in a tipsy state...really, give me more credit than that...although i would say i can still manage a couple of pint of beer and maintain sober...cant lose touch with Leanne just because of work, rite?

On the bright side, i would only be on this shift for a fortnight, in which time will be totally lopsided, working when everyone else's asleep...

Dad has bought me lotsa 'chicken essence' so that i can fight off the sleepiness...like it helps...anyway, i dun think my parents are happy of me working staggered hours...if ive gotta do this more often, i think they will ask me to quit the job...

Thing is, i find that the time in a day has kinda expanded...i was up the whole day watching Survivor X: Palau, and catching up on some CSIs, i read my book and surf the net out of boredom...i even practised the PIANO!!

Do excuse the exclamation, but i havent touched the piano for ages...there was simply no time for it...and the poor thing has stood there like an ancient relic, waiting to be discovered, full of hopes everytime i walked past without so much of a glance...

Yeah, i spend less time at home when im working regular hours...well, i left home at 830 in the morning, and after work, i often stayed back for happy hour, or went to a movie with friends, or bring some folks to savour at a few new diners, or even gym...

talking bout gym, i reckon i will visit it less now that im put on shifts...i cant possibly be hitting the threadmill after work, can i? or before, for that matter...On the other hand, i would be beating the crowds if i work out in the morning AFTER work...geez...that's a very comforting thought indeed...and GOSH, i would be beating the TRAFFIC...im sure some of you would envy me for that....wahahahahaha......

Now that we are leaning more to the pros of working staggered hours, i can save up a great deal of money too...here's the logic...

1. More salary
2. Less Entertainment (Less drinking, movies...etc)
3. Dining at home (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
4. Less petrol consumption (Smooth traffic)


Hmm, come to think of it, it's beneficial afterall...

but really, let's see if i can take it...we shall find out later...when u guys are tucking in... :(

Tell me bout having life...

in need of solitude...

Lately, ive been hanging out alot with my ex-colleagues, until the extent that i hardly have time for my best friends and my alma mater mates...

As a start, they no longer buy me when i told them i will visit 'em in penang 'one of these days', and they have given up hope in including me in any of the activities that they have planned...

i really cant help it for not being such a sport as ive always had...truth is, entertainment is part of working life...i wont deny that i do enjoy a drink or two, or more after work everyday, but really, i needa spend more time in getting back in touch with my friends...

So last weekend, after a drinking session with Leanne and folks, i kinda feel good coz we were getting real intimate during the session...she paid the bill which amounted to 500+ and i feel terribly upset by it...well, this coming weekend would be my turn to buy the drinks...so it makes us even...

Ive no longer have any problems with the people in my current office now, ive decided that im not gonna allow anyone to make my life miserable, it jz aint worth it...so instead of getting annoyed with the few who is more often cocky than anything, i barely pay them any attention at all...i found this work generally well for me and ive felt more sober ever since...

I shall be turning up for an interview tmr at CSA, applying for the position of Network Engineer....if it is God's will, let's hope i get it...nth is holding back in this current company of mine anyway...

It's about time to to visit borders to get a few books....im finishing on Memoirs of a Geisha and Angels and Demons....currently chasing after Lost and Amazing Race and Survivor and desperate housewives on TV...

i luv my life...


count down to NZ trip...3 mths...:)

is a fine day....

This morning, i had to sat for this test that was prepared by my trainer...looking back, i havent at all been pulling my weight throughout the entire training, well, i wasnt even TRYING...

reason: i was in a bad term with my trainer, i jz want him to know im not in the least interested in what he has to teach...

thing is, that canadian hasnt been treating everyone well...he always have that smirk on his face, always telling people off with his sarastic remarks, always talk in a condescending tone...all in all, ive had enough of him, so i thought i should declare a war for the welfare of the other stuff here...

the Consequence: i was summoned into the boss' office couple of days back...he was being very kind though...asking me what's it that happened between me and the canadian...i told him i was being picked on, and i wasnt gonna treat him with respect if he cudnt b bothered to do the same...he asked that i bear with him for a couple of weeks more before he is being sent back, saying that i shd learn as much as i can and take advantage of his knowledge that he has to offer...

hmm, following the conversation, i think the trainer has somehow figured that he's being a pain to everyone, and resolved to work on his attitude...well, maybe jz a lil'...

Lately, i can feel that everyone is on the verge of calling it quit, which of coz includes me as well...this morning, i get to know that a colleague has put in his resignation...

it wont b long that i will follow suit...not unless the boss show a lil' more appreciation to me...but i guess i will somehow know it later when they reveal the results for the test that ive taken...

Well, things aside, im gonna drink with Leanne, and possibly Sam later this evening...mayb i'll bring my colleague along too...Drinking always help when situation is tensed...

:)


I hope Leanne will bring Natasha again, u know, the 1st runner up for Ms. Malaysia...coz i simply adore her....

They were so desperate that they took away everything that i treasured...

But Lord says...

Well, may they hav a better life now that they are at least RM 1300 richer...


Oh Lord....why didnt they take away the bible in my car?
