Quick Updates


Today is an emo day. Jiwang. Feeling sentimental. All maudlin and syrupy.

Bah. Anyway, before I forget. Some updates.

Boss sent a two-slide PowerPoint file before the Raya break and wanted to review the resulting Gantt chart today. I confidently stored the file into my pendrive and brought it back home with me on Friday, thinking I will have the time to get it done. Oh, have I mentioned my journey back to Penang took 8 freaking hours?! But, nevermind that. The minute I woke up on a Saturday morning, I felt so free and relieved cause I wasn't required to attend to calls, make calls, attend meetings, face numerous Excel spreadsheets, etc. I spent my weekend getting my beauty sleep, pampered by both parents and air-conditioner, etc. Oh, and I finally tasted tuak, an alcoholic beverage, or rice wine, popular in Borneo and East Malaysia.




It tasted like beer but it's WAY better than beer. It's bitter yet sweet and sourish. Don't really know how to describe it but seriously. It's better than beer. Trust me. Trust someone who doesn't really like alcoholic drinks but is keen to try - Me.

Going back to the topic. For 3 full days, I never touched my pendrive. When I reached KL on Tue night, I was too tired to even open that slides but still sempat online a while before I slept.

When I reached office today, I almost got a heart attack. Boss wanted to meet in 15 minutes' time and I had nth to show. So, in that short period of time, I managed to finish it. No doubt I simple whack only but at least I had something to show okay. To cut the long story short, I didn't get any scolding so..phew! Regret ady. Next time must prioritize boss's work.

Haiyo. Damn jiwang la me. Currently listening and loving "For the first time", by Kenny Loggins. Anyone has the guitar chords for this song? Someone promised to serenade this under a starry, starry night =)
