Reality Checked Me

On Friday, i had a sudden reality check again and really felt that i was getting too old and cannot keep up with the youngsters. This time it was about a game, DotA (Defend of the Ancients). I played this game with my colleague. He showed me around the game, which character to choose, what to buy, where to go etc. So after a few minutes, i found myself to lost because i don't really know what to do.

So i decided to do some read up like what and how i did when i started to play Warcraft. Found tactics and guides i did but understand them i could not. All those terms used were beyond my comprehension. Perhaps its because im still relatively new to the game.

Try as i may but because i have not keep with the game and therefore many terms used were really alien to me. Trying to just understand 1 guide (a general one at that) was beyond what my tired brain could take after another crazy day at the office.

Sighz, though my age don't show it but i feel really old and hopeless like those always reported by really old people. If my PC was still working perhaps i could play more of the game to get myself updated again. I was pretty good when i played Warcraft but now with work and a kid, not to mention a dead PC which cut me off my supply of games :(

Hope that i can get enough funds to get a new PC come the New Year. According to those astrological books my luck seems to quite OK next lunar new year so i better make the most of it!

Wish me luck

So damn slow ...

The undersea cables which connects SEA with the rest of the world it seems was damaged in a series of earthquakes in Taiwan. The Internet was so slow that i could not even go into my dashboard to make a post. So here i am to make up for it.

After my visit to the dentist, that very night, the teeth near the patched up begin to ache as well. Talk about psychological effects. Sighz i think i will need to pay a visit to a dentist AGAIN because when i felt around with my tongue there seems to be holes or pinches of pain.

I can't have the chocolates that my sister gave me as Christmas presents. T.T

Today has been a lousy and busy day. Not to mention a no money day ...........

I started out forgetting to bring extra cash to go to the dentist. My wisdom tooth is now causing me problems. The dentist said that there is hole now :( I had to pay the fee with borrowed money from a colleague. While waiting my turn to see the dentist, my sister SMS-ed me to say that wants me to buy bus tickets. Since its on my way back to office so i thought to myself i will go after my session with the dentist. But as usual the forgetful me just walked past the big building called bus station :x

Then i decided to mend my shoe since there is now a hole in it :x So during lunch hour i went to seek a cobbler to mend my shoes while i go look for a place to have mee goreng. So in my mind i thought that i can go to a roadside mamak where they usually give big portions. To my disappointment, it was closed. Perhaps the owner is Christian or he is expecting that there will not be too many customers today. So i had to settle for another un-tried shop. I took my lunch with my usual pace which is fast. So by the time i was done, it was not even 15 minutes. So obviously the cobbler won't be done so fast. So i tried to loaf at the shop but with a boring show i could only stand 10 or 15 minutes more. During this time, it occured to me that i forgot to get tickets for my sister. So i went back to the cobbler place hoping that he would be done.

As what i had in mind, the cobbler was not done so now i have to loaf around standing. The cobbler asked me, "You are done with your lunch already???" with an annoyed face. I blushed when answered him. So standing around trying to not be a statue or a nuisance blocking the walkway i looked left and right and left and right to see where else can i go to not like pressure the old cobbler. Finally i spotted a fruit stall to buy a pack of pineapples which i consumed rather fast again, damn my eating habit sucks when i need to kill time ...........

After i finished the pineapple, i told the old man that i wanted to go away to get the forgotten tickets and return later but he told me that it would only take a while more. Then i scoured around again to see what else i can kill my time with. Then i noticed those replacement heels, and i poked at them to see if they were any softer compared to mine since i always felt that my shoes heels were too hard. He told me that all heels are roughly the same, then i told him my experience. He quickly said that if he added some rubber soles it would be softer and before i could answer him he had already started to cut the soles according to the shoes' heels. I thought to myself what the heck how much would that cost while sweating since i only had about RM20 left in my wallet. Im cursing my forgetfulness again.

When my shoes were done, i grabbed them and put it into a plastic bag thinking that it needs to dry more before some me using them again. I almost left without paying *sweat* by just saying "Em koi", but luckily i came to my senses and asked how much it cost. RM15 poorer and short of money to buy tickets i had to return to office to borrow more money :( Why not withdraw from the ATM? Because this month's limit is up, and my colleague won't charge me any interest :p

So with a thick face i went and borrow more money from my colleague and went about the business of buying tickets. On the way down to the escalator (outside the building), i again remembered another forgotten task, i need to mail some letters. Dang what is wrong with me today :x Sighz not wanting to go up again just to collect some mail so i went ahead and bought the tickets.

Now i hope by the time i leave office, i will remember to bring the mail along to put it into the postbox.

Grrrrrrrrrr that is just my personal things, again the servers plan to take an extra holiday or something. This time its the testing servers. They just refuse to talk to each other quite similar to the one last week but another type. Why do things always go against you when you need to settle them ASAP? Reminds me of the saying, "The whole world is against me". 1 whole day later, the problem is still not solved, intranet don't have any firewall so what the heck is wrong with this stupid server!!! Remember my enhancement that needs to be in production by New Year, the task that im stuck with is essential to testing................

I can't think anymore because i suspect my teeth situation is not settled yet, the teeth next the one repaired this morning is starting to hurt.

Sighz what a lousy day.

Everything wants a holiday. :x

What i meant was at the beginning of today, all of my system's servers were acting up on us. ALL of them failed to work with each other and after many reboots of various machines and more than 2 hours of calling this and that fella, we finally got the system up and running. Just in time for the big boss to make more money, buy shares.

I was thinking to myself, is it because of the holiday season that everything needs a break? The servers just refuse to work for more than 2 hours. Our frantic calls for the people how can help us reboot the server were mostly on leave. Specialists for DB2 MC today. Great what a crisis a day before a substantially longer weekend because of Christmas.

Perhaps i too need to take a leave but there are so many things that need to completed. Some of which were given almost last minute notices :x
"This is wanted by 1/1/2007" when its already 18/12/2006, though the task seems quite simple but with so little notice there is almost no margin for error plus there is a habit by users where they like to change their mind almost at the very last minute again like yesterday, i was told that they want to add more things and have more checkings.

Since most of my colleagues have already booked the end of the year for their leaves therefore i have to be guards until next year. So hopefully i will be able to find a day next year to rest my burning out blain ............

But one thing is for sure, im gonna take a long CNY holiday :p

Why do women wear see through clothes (even to office sometimes)?

It puzzles me why they want to do that sometimes. Today i saw a woman dressed in sky blue but her pants was so thin that you can notice that she is a wearing a black G-string. Is she doing this on purpose? If that was true then wouldn't it be better not to wear anything or at least try to match the color of her pants?

If she were to show it off, isn't it against her religion? Yes, she is a 'M'. Ironically today there was an article about clothing vs rape. So was she dressed to be raped? A sign that she 'wants' to be in that situation? Or maybe she is just a complete attention whore?

Its not that im interested because, well for one she is a 'M' and she ain't pretty who knows she may really be a whore? I have heard too many of these cases where females bed their managers not for position gain but just because she is 'itchy'. Heck i even heard of a story that a pregnant woman came to office on a weekend just to have a threesome with the boss. Imagine the itch and one might even wonder who the heck is the father?

Also i saw before a manager level lady wearing those tampons and can be seen through her thin trousers. I lost my appetite the whole day.............

Well its not everyday you get to see events like this in office. But preferably the next encounter would be a more beautiful lady and not in the 'M' category LOL. Nah im not a racist just a bit choosy. :p

Revived!

Well i have decided to re-use this blog because it seems that in my office i am not able to publish my friendster blog.

Yesterday and today i have advised an old friend of mine of her latest relationship. I don't want to call myself as an expert or whatsoever since i don't see my own relationship as rosy.

This friend here don't really have good luck in her relationships. Getting lousy/crazy boyfriends or even stalkers. Sighz......

So again she told me of another person approaching her. From her description 2/3 way through i have already come to a conclusion that her choice may again be a lousy one. So being an honest and good friend, i of course advised her re-consider.

Is it true that girls like to be cheated? Especially those who can be considered as intelligent? So those who think that dramas or movies are quite unreal then i have a living proof that that is not true.

Well we chatted on, and caught up on some old times of course now from a different perspective since those events happened when we were much younger and less mature. Perhaps on my side more. Damn im talking like an old timer again already.

I wish her all the best in finding a good other half.
