But i have to admit that it was because of my dear friend's persistance that i decided to make time to write something in here. Haha, persistance does pay.Much has happened in the past 2 months.

No mood to work, no mood to report to the bosses, no mood to find out what's going on from your team, but yet you HAVE to do it. It's your job, your responsibility. I'm frustrated by the thought of this right now... that i'm living my life in the way that i have to in order not to disappoint others.
I'm wondering what to do at work nowadays. Training the others kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913288480741716984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581888.post-1098039986235487002004-10-18T02:50:00.000+08:002004-10-18T03:23:41.943+08:00Back home.
I had a fantastic time in WA, and Perth weather today was absolutely glorious!!! i could finally NOT wear a cardigan, and walk around in my tank top and slippers.
Well actually, apart from the first 2 rainy days, we were pretty much blessed with lots of sun (it burnt my face a little...), but the chilly wind kept us covered.
It is soooo good to be clad in singlet and shorts again...kithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06913288480741716984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581888.post-1097327372722088092004-10-09T21:02:00.000+08:002004-10-09T21:09:32.723+08:00counting down

No, not for work. :) We were attending a one-day management workshop conducted by this guy called Thomas Chow, who used to be one of my boss's high school geography teacher. Can u imagine?!

Let's see how they can fix up a temporary one for me tomorrow... sigh. Well, at least they think my hard disk is safe.
How lost we can feel without our bits and bytes! i feel too free for comfort, and the only thing i can do is to walk around and find out if i'm needed anywhere... *shudder*. That feels weird.
