The Day After

I guess it's inevitable to have to say something about the recent events that have taken place. Till publishing time, the death toll at the affected areas have risen sharply to 25,000 people or so. What happened was indeed tragic and most unexpected. And for people in Malaysia, a country which we've learnt from our geograhphy lessons is out of the lingkaran api pasifik (if I remember rightly), I guess it's even more shocking! Hope that all of us can offer a prayer for the well being of those who have survived and for all who are no more.

On another note, I've been dying to write on this blog for a few days now...sudden urge! It's games galore and all about relaxed atmosphere here at the lab. Must be the ushering in of the new year of 2005. So how're your resolutions coming along? Anyone out there with a sure fire way to stick to what you've written?

This year is drawing to an end. I'm sure many great things and not so great stuff have taken place in your lives. But whatever that has happened, for me at least, I'm going to take it as a learning experience and use it to improve. Maybe I can even use it to help people too...that would be nice. Take care peeeps...;)

I'll leave you with a few pics courtesy of CNN, on the effects of the tidal waves in the areas of Aceh, Penang Island, Phuket Island, Sri Lanka and India.

Two months shy only this time? Good eh ;)

Hi everyone!! It's been awhile since I've last posted anything here. You know, the weird thing is I enjoy reading other people's blogs, but I rarely get around to putting anything into mine. Then yesterday, a "couple" of friends visited my housie and I and took us out for makan. Aiseh, I was touched when they mentioned that they actually read my blog! Then it got me thinking.... do I actually have a fan-base? Hahahaha, maybe not but I should write down some stuff so here I am.

Work has been so slow ever since last week. This is the second time I've gotten the chance to write a technical paper. I noticed that it fires me up tremendously cause it puts a lot of odd pieces of the puzzle into it's rightful place. Then after that, I feel like I've conquered the world and I can be doing absolutely nothing at work. I do hope my supervisor is not reading this though....my new pay rise could take a sharp dive after that ;)

Tis the end of the year my friends. Has the year been a good one? I've not made any plans for resolutions as yet. But I'll be off to a character training jamboree sort off thingy from tomorrow onwards. Will be looking forward to putting more focus into my life and reduce some dag-nabbit love handles.

Football wise...no report since my first blog entry I reckon. Arsenal seemed to have gotten out of their slump and are moving towards playing that scintilating football that has made them the target of the press when they play regular-low-fi football. Something I learnt is this, no matter how much the odds may be stacked against you, it is always important that I should never lose faith in my abilities to get up, dust off and keep moving on. Go Gunners, you guys inspire me in different ways!

So enough for now. Come back again if you can keep up with my snail pace entries. cheerio!
