Taking A Break

Friday, June 8th, 2007

I’m on leave today. A much needed break from the buzz of work. The last couple of weeks have been crazy in terms of frustrations and deadlines. Throw a flu bug into the mix and you’ve got yourself two very ugly weeks. (more…)

The Simple Things

Friday, May 11th, 2007

Was down at McDonald’s just a few minutes ago for a tea break. I’m in the middle of a project and the deadline is drawing near (end of business today, if you would believe). The fast food restaurant was relatively empty, save for a guy tapping away on a notebook and a group of secondary schoolers, two guys and two girls, having a good laugh. Call me a voyeur but I was captivated by the fun they were having. (more…)

It’s Been A While…

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Does this mean that there’s nothing new happening in my life? Highly probably, very likely, yes. Damn I lead a dull life. It’s been very much the same routine cycling over the last month.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007

Google just changed their search page logo. Looks as though it’s missing an ‘L’. I guess the strawberry stalk is it. The change means the day has just rolled over into Valentine’s in the US where the server’s sitting. Over here, we’ve been in Valentine’s for the last 14 hours. We’re more than half way through!

Working Sunday And Other Stuff

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Yeah, you read that right. It’s a Sunday and I’m working with five other colleagues (including my manager). It’s been a long while since I’ve had to come in to the office on a weekend or even work overtime for that matter. WL says that my work schedule is finally resembling a ‘normal’ one. Whatever normal means. (more…)
