OMG! I’m Member Of Two Fitness Centres!

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

On Wednesday, I walked into Fitness First and spontaneously signed up for a membership. I was well aware of the fact that I am still a member of California Fitness. So was it a lapse in sanity or something else? (more…)

As Far As Bad Days Go…

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

I think I had a pretty bad one. Okay. To be honest, it wasn’t all bad. It started this morning when the car overheated during my drive to the office. I wound up stopping at a petrol kiosk to let the engine cool. It was slightly less than an hour under the warm Malaysian weather and I was already sweating like a hog. After the topping up the radiator with water, I thought everything was good and went on my way again. I was already two hours late to work. (more…)

I’m Back!

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

It’s been a month long break from work. I’ve been keeping busy, mind you. What with the wedding, mini holiday to Phuket, webhost troubles, etc. While I can’t say I didn’t dread coming back to work, it IS good to be back. (more…)

On Extended Vacation

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

Planning is winding down and the day of our wedding banquet is fast approaching. I started my official leave on Thursday and it extends through to 14th January 2008. Every time someone asks me and I mention the dates, I get surprised looks and eyes popping out of their sockets. Yes, it is a very long vacation. Only a few days shy of a full month. But that’s also only because I’m clearing off my annual leave and all the festive holidays. (more…)

Wow! That’s Early!

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Well, relatively speaking. The office is empty. People are slowly trickling in but there’s still less than a dozen of the hundred odd staff employed at their workstations. (more…)

Go Go Go!

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

Everything seems to be falling apart at work. The servers are down, the internet connection is down (well, it just came back up), VPN access to our parent company is down, Domino Docs is down, the source control license server is down. Since practically every aspect that is critical to my job function is down, it’s been a slow and unproductive day at work. I’m tempted to call it a day and leave the office. (more…)

Sick And Home Alone

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

My colleagues in the office have been getting sick one after another. I’ve been trying to avoid getting sick for the last month. After weeks of avoiding it, the flu has finally gotten a foothold in my system. Can’t say that it’s a pleasant feeling. It was bad enough that I called in sick and wound up home alone while WL went to work. (more…)

Too Much Shopping

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Been busy shopping over the weekend. From Friday through Sunday, I must have clocked up at least the equivalent of 20 hours on the treadmill. (more…)

Happy Belated Father’s Day

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Last weekend, WL and I finally managed to bring back our Father’s Day gift for my dad. By my calendar, we were 2 weeks late. I suppose it’s the thought that counts. (more…)

Should Have Stayed Home Today…

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Took my cousin out for mamak last night. After a late dinner/supper, we adjourned to Old Town White Coffee for more drinks and chit chat. We stayed out till around one in the morning before calling it a day. I think I’m still suffering the effects of the late night. My eyelids are really heavy. (more…)
