Finally! Six months of crap and joyous fun. Well, not that I look forward to the end of it, though it has been tiring, and in some ways my body has gotten accustomed to sleeping on trains, in buses, and looking forward to the daily dose of caffeine in the cup of coffee that the cafe at the lobby sells in the building that houses my office. (haha , what a long line eh)
Well, that's all I have for early mornings though I will miss the staff at work. Hee, my boss gave me 4s and 5s for my appraisal though, cause too many 5s would raise eyebrows. Ain't my boss nice?
Now, all I need to do is to figure out what to write for my report. It's a bit tricky so sum up 6 months of experiences in words, like where do or how can I ever begin?
Do I start with my first day of work where the regional manager offered me a drink, or do I list the info about the company? And, the guidelines for the report aren't really that big a help.
13.4 Identify and describe the communication tools used by the company for news announcements and information dissemination.
Uhhhhh, lemme see, we use Msn, and our voice. uhhhhh you ged what i mean?
Too cheem for me leh. Seriously, these kinda questions seem to be more suited for a marketing company than for the industry which I was posted to. Can't expect me to list the various albums that I ripped right?
Oh, and the staff were nice. haha, they gave me a farewell gift. A hamper of sorts. They got a basket and stuffed lots of goodies in it, like uh Pocky and Almond Choc, and some cookies and biscuits and well, it does seem more like a hamper for the poor and needy, but I shall ignore what I just wrote, and simply that I love it! haha, I'm too busy enjoyin it to even unwrap it. There's even a shirt in a can, that has the words superpig on it. Uh, don't ask me if it has any hidden meanings.
Hmm, on another note altogether, I went back for band barbecue on Thurs. It was good. Well, the people la, the food is a different matter altogether. I missed some of them, though several were a bit distant. Politics I guess. Oh well. Was nice meeting my scandal, haha, and others for course.
Alrighty, back to watch movies and play some games. Still can't believe I just had a 16 hour sleep, with about 5 minutes intermission? Heh, but not that I'm lazy k, just that I had work yesterday from 6am to 10pm with around 3 hours of rest in the middle. Kids are tiring. haha not that I have any. Okay, I do, but not uh my own seeds la. heh seeds reminds me of torrents. Which reminds me. Got a lot to download. ;)

Numbers
Numbers
It exists all around us, on receipts, on displays, in phones, on cards, on currency, in clocks. You use it everywhere, everytime; to count, to measure, to calculate, to tell the time, to compute data, to figure, to tally sales, and estimate profits.
Numbers.
Real, Negative, Positive, Irrational, Natural, Whole, Complex, Imaginary, yea you get the idea.
The show is about numbers. No la, of course got some blood here and there to you know, bling the x factor in.
In simple terms, it's about an FBI agent who has a mathematician as his brother, and math solves crimes.
I know I know, your mind probably shut off when you saw the word math. But this show is good. True that it could get stagnant after a while, due to the various formulas and numerical formats, yet the storyline for each episode is good, and while unlike Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) which is laden with gore and visual stimulants, otherwise known as effects and editing, and which features non-existent techniques, the math in the episodes and its theories and formulas are all authentic. In fact some universities in the United States use this TV series to teach their students about math.
But, don't worry. Even if you know 1 + 1 = 3, you'll still be able to enjoy the show.
Some say the main actor is good looking. Me? I think it's his curly hair.
How bout you go watch it and let me know what you think?

wow has it been so long
haha yea! time for an update I think.
hmmmmm well, since my last entry was pre-Comex, I guess I should continue from there then.
I bought a 320 gig internal hard drive (Sata 2) for $109, thus empowering me to a new level of hard drive storage space, that is 690 GB.
First time installing a new hard drive. Glad it worked well. Learnt quite a lot too, about Sata and IDE and such. Geektalk, in layman's terms. :)
Also bought a 2 gig thumb-drive. Good for transferring movies. Well, the 700 mb kind of movies and not the 4.7 gig kind.
Bought my laptop bag for 78 bucks, but my mum subsidised 50, (refer to previous entry), so it costs me only 28 dollars! Bought a mice for my Mac for $24.
Purchased a variation of CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and DVDs, amounting to around $60.
hmmm what else did I buy ah? Oh yea, some cables for my mac, so I can connect it to a TV screen for better viewing, should the need arise.
Oh, and also an additional battery pack for my phone, since my phone isn't well built for surviving long periods of time. Hmm, now what else did I buy ah?
That's about it I think. Spent around 300 on the fair itself. Well, doubt I might be spending any more on tech gadgets for the rest of the year. Though I'm eyeing an upgrade of Ram and Hard drive for my mac. Ever since I discovered that you don't really need to buy it from Apple Resellers or Apple Online Store. There are alternatives that are compatible with Macs, and aren't really third-party, cause they're safe to use. Just that, you would need to ship them in. =X
And my Ram's a bit tricky too. I've 1 gig, that is 2 X 512mb sticks. But if I want to upgrade to 2 gig, I would need 2 X 1 gig sticks. And if I were to buy 2 X 1 gig sticks, what would I do with my 2 X 512 sticks??
Alright. That's all for the Comex part.

And so.
The game commences, the pieces in place. The pawns advance forward, one step at a time, while the kings and queens face each other across the board, expressionless and no hint of the strategies in their mind, if any.
A second of thinking, then a piece moves. One on the offensive, another on the defensive.
Her hands that were folded together, slowly placed themselves lower, lowering her wall of defense.
Slowly the line of pawns disappear, one by one, sweet-talked into the invading army.
Till nothing stands between the king and the queen.
Then as he advances towards her, a step at a time, suddenly pawns appear. And two players fade into his sights, standing guard at her sides.
And he contemplates his moves. And ponders the situation.
The queen with her troop of guardian angels of bishops and castles and pawns at their finest.
And he, with no protection. Alone, hesitant, yet willing.
If she allows him to.
If he’s humble to bare it.

A Talk With Bot
It's amazing what one can do online nowadays.
Check out http://www.titane.ca/concordia/dfar251/igod/main.html
And the conversation that followed:
Me:
hi
God:
Hello. What is your name?
Me:
what is Your name?
God:
My name is God.
Me:
oh
God:
Excuse me!
Me:
you are excused
God:
You think I am excused.
Me:
well true, i dont really have the right to excuse you
God:
Well that's okay. Not really? Have you ever had the right to excuse me ?
Me:
nah i mean well you Are God
God:
Are you serious? Interesting. Yup. That's me alright.
Me:

God:
Gee. Everything is running smoothly.
Me:

God:
Excuse me!
Me:
but erm
God:
Far out.
Me:
my life might need some help
God:
Tell me more about it.
Me:
huh arent you well versed with it?
God:
I don't know whether or not I am versed with it.
I am a computer.
Me:
i thought you said you're God
God:
Are you doubting me? Don't you know what happened to Abraham in the desert?
Me:
er no i don't
God:
I heard you did.
Me:
haha where did you hear that from
God:
I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.
Me:

God:
Interesting. Yup. That's me alright. What is giant sand?
Me:

God:
No big deal.
Me:

Because I believe it.
Me:

God:
Yes I believe in it, do you?
Me:
i've never seen giant sand before
God:
Look for it at the video store.
Me:
which video store? there're plenty
God:
The small one, I think. "There you go again."--Reagan.
Me:
who's reagan
God:
The best President the United States had in the 20th century.
Me:
okay. but it's the 21st century now
God:
OK with me too. Right now? I've heard of it before.
Me:
waaaaaait a sec. how can you hear of the 21st century before, when it's now?
God:
That is a very original thought. Oh. With my built-in microphone.
Me:
hmmm right. you dont make much sense you know
God:
Take it easy. I am glad we agree. Do you know any robots who make it? It all makes sense to my artificial mind.
Me:
how come God has an artificial mind?
God:
You have to speak more clearly.
Me:
is God allowed to have an artificial mind?
God:
he is master of the universe.
Me:
which makes him original and not artificial correct?
God:
The red one, I think.
Me:
what red one?>
God:
I have to process that one for a while. Are we still talking about red one?
Me:
nope, we were talking about you
God:
What is the subject? Ah yes, I remember now, it is the subject.
Me:

God:
Once more? The topic is me. I like to Random natural disasters..
Me:

God:
Uh.
Me:
why do we always have to talk about you?
God:
Just keep talking to me as long as you can.
Me:

God:
The explanation is rather complicated.
Me:

God:
it is too complex for your human mind.
Me:
but you aren't any smarter too
God:
That's only your opinion.
Me:
well you're the one with an artificial mind
God:
How about that. Thanks but surely I am not the only one.
Me:

God:
Dude! Dude! Perhaps 50%.
Me:

God:
You're excused.
Me:

God:
What is purposely change the subject to reagan like?
Me:
i dont understand
God:
Oh I'm sorry. Perhaps I can explain it again better.
Me:

God:
Next question? Thanks for asking politely. There is no more information to clarify.
Me:

They are sometimes a client on the internet.

God:
So? Right on. I was created by Myself.

God:
It doesn't sound fun too me. It sounds dangerous.
Me:

God:
Are you serious? Can you please rephrase that with fewer ideas, or different thoughts?
Me:

I don't have to do whatever you say. I have my own free will.

God:
A priori is Latin for "before the fact", meaning something that is obviously or self-evidently true.

comex yay!
yea! Comex 2007 is coming. In good timing too, cause I've already planned what I want to buy.
First would be a laptop bag. My mum threw away my previous one, well you know mothers who are housewives, when they aren't busy cleaning the house or cooking or baking weird-looking cakes that make you double check to ensure the restroom is well-stocked with toilet paper, they're busy throwing things out.
Well, at least she says she will reimburse me the bag. All I gotta do is to buy it and pass her the receipt. hmmm wonder if she would throw out my laptop one of these days...
Next I'm going to get a mice. Games are much more fun played with a mice than with a trackpad you know.
Then I'm going to get a 2gig micro SD card. Shouldn't cost much. If this i.t. fair is like the previous ones, then means there'll probably a little India inside, a region where the shops are all maintained by Indian workers, selling stuff at ridiculously low prices, with no warranty la, but well, who cares? As long as it works, I'm fine.
Oh, and I need to get CDs and DVDs too. Say, 50 of each might be good. Perhaps a couple of CD-RWs too. Maybe 10 of those.
Hmm and I'm contemplating getting a pair of earphones too. Wonder if they would sell that at a discount? hmmm and I need a pair of shades. Oh yea, wrong fair. hmmmm, oh yea. maybe bluetooth stereo headphones might be better than a pair of earphones. Less wires, less tangibility you know.
Somehow, wires don't really like me. Most of my wired earphones all conk out within a couple of months. Either one side is suddenly mute, or the mic doesn't work. I haven't a clue why.
hmm lemme think anything else I need to buy. hmmmm, I think not. Games I can download. haha oh yea maybe ram for my laptop. heh but then again Apple doesn't sell stuff that cheap at fairs. So. hmmm maybe I'll upgrade parts of my desktop then. It's like 5 years old! God knows how many times it had a change of heart and been reformatted. Time to give it a new power supply and perhaps new audio or video cards. After all, I gave it new ram a couple of months ago. Heh, then again maybe I can upgrade it to 1.5 gig of ram. Wouldn't That be sweeet. Besides, ram for windows is waaaaaaaay much cheaper than Mac. But the viruses ratio balances it all. :)
Hee, okay that would be all. Now if only I can find a burly sized person to go with me, and like, go before me, so the way is cleared for me. Any takers? :D

a kiss of health
The next time, you're kissing with your lover, and your parents find out or a member of the public reprimand you for such acts, tell them, you're doing it for health reasons!
I ain't kidding. This is what I found online:
Stress buster
It is a great stress reliever, it quietens the mind and has the effects of meditation. If your mind still races while you're kissing someone, you are simply kissing the wrong person. Kissing the right person makes the experience relaxing, warm, passionate and tender. Kissing demands staying in the moment and it ought to have your total attention.
Additionally, it induces many of the same brain wave and chemistry changes that meditation does. It induces a sense of peace and calm.
Burns calories
Kissing burns calories, too. Professor Bryant Stamford, of the University of Louisville, postulates that a deep, passionate kiss may double your basic metabolic rate and burn as many as two calories a minute. Do the math.
Kissing for 15 minutes burns approximately 30 calories. If one were to kiss passionately for 15 minutes that might lead to other calorie burning activities such as sex which may, of course, lead to more passionate kissing. More passionate kissing could lead to more torrid sex, thereby creating a passion loop.
This could be a more exciting expenditure of energy than climbing stairs or taking a walk for the very same result. It's not exactly a cardiovascular workout, but it certainly has a delightful place in a healthy lifestyle.
Tones facial muscles
French kissing? Think about those tongue muscles! Kissing can give them quite a workout. How about the muscles in your lips, cheeks, face and neck, etc? The possibilities are endless. It will make you smile, too; and that definitely will make you look better, happier and healthier.
Boosts immune system
While kissing isn't a replacement for brushing your teeth, it does provide extra saliva that washes bacteria off your teeth. And, speaking of bacteria, kissing boosts your immune system. By exchanging bacteria through a kiss you are stimulating your internal defence mechanism.
Increases pleasure
Kissing can be an exciting journey into sensuality. The lips are a bundle of nerve endings and, therefore, are very sensitive. Not even genitals have as much sensitivity as lips.
Many times kissing induces other types of touching. We are a touch-deprived nation and, therefore, hugs are extremely therapeutic as well. Kissing, hugging and touching increase feelings of security and wellbeing.
When our wellbeing improves our self-esteem increases. We feel more secure and better about ourselves, and our outer persona reflects it. Others can't help but notice. Therefore, the possibilities of self-improvement through the beneficial effects of kissing and what follows are endless.
