Oh the black magic is a beautiful thing, I tell you.
Not voodoo black magic, but the HTC magic. It. Is a sleek device. Just typing on touch screen takes some getting use to.
Get a data plan to go with it, and you live without the laptop for awhile. Just that the battery life looks short. But other then that, an iPhone killer.:)

Its another complain on work. Sad. i m starting to get bored of this work man. I wish to get out. But this phase seems to be almost over.
Just this test phase alone, already took about 8months (and counting). It does not seem to end, but you can see some glimmer of light just ahead.
It is not a really difficult work. But doing the same boring shit is sucking the life out of me. It is like a dull pain that does not shock you. But you can feel that it is there, sucking away your energy.
What to do? Just bite on and hang tough still?

SMS from Dad: Do you want Deliverance?
Me: Deliverance?
Dad: Delifrance
For a moment, I thought my dad thinks that I am possessed or something like that.

I watched “Drag me to hell” over the weekend.
Been awhile since i watched a horror movie. However it does not seem that horror to me now. It seems that ghost and vampires were horrors to me 20 years ago. But now, not much.
However this show did make me jump unexpectedly a few times. (weak like sausage) But this show did have some comic relief, making you drop your guard, and BOOO!!! again. All this made SH screamed a few times in the show, which may have made me jumped too :>
Mrs Ganush, looks scary on screen. But still i think i am more scared of the carpark warden aunties!!
A good show. If you watch it on your laptop, you pirates, try putting on the headphones with this show on at night. Fun show!
a basketball session this morning with AD, HC and his brother-in-law its been awhile since each of us played bball already. so everyone was kind of hyped up.
It was a 2 vs 2 game. not much ‘kaki’ to recall for the game. First ball started. We ran. We screened. We shot. We jumped for rebound. By the 3rd ball, we were bent over and catching our breath.
I heard of one of us saying, if we continue like that, we need an ambulance.
Game play slowed down a little from there on. But it was good. Need to find more people next time round. Anything more than 2 on 2 seems fine.
MORE exercise!!

I was supposed to attend the PAssion run this morning. But it was a NO RUN!
It all started yesterday. Went ice skating. It was my first time on the ice. Although i do rollerblade, but I was shaky on the ice. It was nothing at first as i got used to the surface.
I was like on the last run already when i tripped. I went down, and just using my right arm to break my fall. It was quite an impact i guess. I felt my joints at the right shoulder pop slightly out of place , but I seem topull it back into position. My arm went abit numb. Had difficulties moving and limited range of the movement of my arms.
Had SH so worried, that she demand that i go see a physician straight away. So i went, so as to prevent incurring the wrath :>
Nothing serious the physician said. Abit of massage and off i went. Just a twisted shoulder she said
THis morning, i woke up. Feeling abit stiff at my shoulder. I got up and tried to jog a few yards. No good. With every step, the impact seem to jolt the right shoulder, causing some discomfort. And with 15km, it seems a long way of discomfort. So i decided not to go for the run.
Signed up for 3 runs, and only went once. Missed the previous one because I suffered from high fever on that actual day. Maybe such runs are not for me to sign up.

i was walking to another tower to deploy some codes, when i met a colleague who was on the way to the same place.
chatted with her while making our way there, making small talk mainly about the current project, which mainly was about how hectic this project is and all that and how we wished we were in the maintenance project.
I thought of how i felt when i was previously in a maintenance project. 3 months into the maintenance project, i felt bored. I was thankful it lasted only 3-4 months. wanted something more interesting. Now i am in a project with more stuff to catch up and learn, i actually wanna go back to a maintenance project. We really want to have best of both worlds always.
If only there is way to escape for about 2 weeks or so, that would be great. But I don’t think there is such luxury. Oh well, i can only just hang tough!
went for our first appointment with French bridal studio that we had engaged earlier on.
Cheapo me decided not to drive to skip the ERP and the parking charges. Boy did i almost regret my decision, as it rained quite heavily as me and SH arrived at the train station. Thankfully it subsided as we were walking off from the station. Had to buy an umbrella, just in case.
The whole afternoon in the bridal studio. It was a gown after gown trial for SH, while i sat there reading “The Appeal” which SH brought out just in case I was bored. Haha. The book definitely came in handy 
I spent about well…..half hour with the planners briefing me on the various choices for guys. Easy!! Black or Off white. Mandarin collar or not. Tux Coat. Take some measurement. DONE!
The rest of the time was of course for SH.
With this on the way, and a photgrapher found. The next big item……wedding bands.

It is crunch time at work. 12-13hours daily, coming in on saturdays, sometimes sunday. This has been going on for about a month, all out of my own accord.
About 2-3 weeks ago, my team lead requested that the team stay till 7pm at least. Not too much of a request as it is just an additonal one hour after the offical 6pm. In addition to that, a request for a daily status report was put in few days after the former request to work till at least 7.
You could instantly see some unhappy faces and the furious typing among the team on the intranet messenging system.
Recently, the project management team decide to offically push for 9pm work days(or nite). No excuse for unhappy faces this time, now that it is an official request. But last friday, the team just freaked out. With the team lead out for meeting, almost all of them decided to leave at around 6.30. I cant really stop them as I had to leave at 7pm but with advance notice served.
Team lead came back to an empty room. Pissed off of course, got me to try to get people the people in the following day. Sent smses to all of them. Got no reply, which i expected.
This is going downhill, at a crucial time. 6 months ago, the team was getting along fine and all that. Lacking in motivation? Additional friction in stress periods?
We shall see. Just the last burst of fire, and we will be through!
