today was an enjoyable day at work. cuz I was only in the office for like 4-5 hours out of the whole day. Drove one of the managers down to Parramatta to do an xray for visa. The drive takes like 40 minutes each way. The appointment was quick though. Couldn't even finish reading an article in Times. But then we lepak in the area after that. kekekek. went to have an early lunch, so just walk around the shopping area to look for a place to eat :) found this mixed chinese place and had nasi gorend. it was quite nice. tasty, but very oily (not that it ever stops me from eating...)

work the rest of the day was normal la. the new accounting system really bloody annoys me. a lot of random bugs and crashes and things you can't do. oh well. you get what you pay for I suppose. I have the consultant coming in on Friday for a meeting. Gonna bloody grill her for answers and solutions. Don't think i'll be very happy with the results... its gonna suck if I know more about the program than she does o_O If I do, at least I know where to work after my contract finishes ^_^

just killing some time right now with the blog. decided that I'm not going to play ps2 tonight. Gonna try work on my rentcrawler program later. really need to complete it. i've got roughly another month to muck around researching real estate. have to start taking action in april liao. if my contract doesn't get renewed end April... i'm gonna have a tough time taking out a loan to buy a house. aihs.

thos is back home in kl, which means i can grind WoW as much as i want! :) this whole week has been nothing but playing game. andy brought back a bunch of ps2 games from back home. took some dvd movies and Suikoden Tactics from him last saturday. And everyday after work I've just been playing Suikoden almost non stop. And was playing WoW till about 5 in the morning on Saturday. Add to that the super world event on WoW that happened on Saturday night. The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. Its suppose to this epic world event take takes place in of the regions. Suppose to be something on the scale of Starship Troopers style zerg. And the enemies are giant bugs too, scarabs and anubis etc. Its pretty cool... in concept. The execution of it was pretty horrible. I stopped caring after 2 server crashes, and impossible to play lag. And that was an hour before the event even started.

I manage to sneak in an hour of play later in the night, but by then most of the keng stuff gone already. poo.

As for today... I was just watching this korean drama that I downloaded, Dating Now. Quite nice... I prefer japanese dramas though, cuz I don't really like the korean language. Had dinner at Lynn's place after grinding thru about 4-5 eps of the drama. We made dumplings for dinner! Yumsss... makes me feel like going back to Ashfield for lunch again next week.

The drive back from her place was absolute hell though. There was a bloody storm earlier. The vision is bad enough in the rain, but the windows in my car totally fogged up. I had to keep wiping the windows every 3-4 minutes just so that I can see the road. most dangerous driving i've ever done. Ughhh. who could imagine not having a/c in the car could actually be deadly o_O At least I made it back home in one piece. God still loves me, even if no girls do :)

just came back from morning training. i try to go for kickboxing in the mornings with jeremy during saturdays now, although this was only my 2nd time. i'm still quite slack in regards to training, but at least i'm doing it.

waiting for my turn to shower, so might as well blog a little. just to show that i'm not dead yet...although i felt like it after training. damn unfit. but with each time i go, I can last longer. I still look as fat though. sigh...

fongie came back from kl liao. brought my camera back as well. yay! rm212 to fix it. ouch. just for the stupid power button. but apparently they changed part of the casing. dunno la. i don't remember how it looked like originally. they used parts from a different model camera to fix it. as long as it doesn't look weird, i'm happy. Plus, if i decide to sell the camera, i can pretend its a super limited edition release ^_^

nothing much else. fongie is coming down sydney again with some of her friends. gonna crash at our place. i'll probably just stay at home kua. gonna be playing WoW in the afternoon. they can layan diri :p also, i'm lazy to go out cuz i don't have my house keys. left them at work on friday. aihs.

ooops. time for shower.

Zzz.. damn sienz. stoning at home the whole day. Thos bought his computer liao, so he is playing WoW in his room. Fatty is outside playing inside...and I'm in my own room being sienz. Aihs... I'm not enjoying my lazy Sunday much.

I've been pretty busy at work. So not much time to blog. Plus nothing particularly special to write about. Even if there was...all old news by the time I blog, so kinda lazy.

My contract at the company is over liao, but i'm still working there. Its being extended to at least another 3 months, but nothing has been drawn up yet. I've been OTing shitloads lately. Staying at work till about 9.30 on some nights. Annoying, but its not like I have anything really productive to do at home. The new accoutning system is sort of up and running. Even if it isn't, we'r using it anyway. Deal with the problems one at a time. Means more work for me la, since I'm the one who is supporting it. At least its more interesting than doing purchasing.

I started my own mini programming project as well. Looking at property listings online is quite annoying, so I decided to just write a program that will take the listings off the net, and put it in my own database. At least this way, I won't have to go to 3-4 different property sites. I can even do some data processing as well. For example, I can find out what the average rent is for 3BR places in a particular suburb. This should help when I start investing in property. I might even sell this program :) Although the legality of it is questionable, since I'm ripping the information off websites. Hmmmmm...
