Happy New Year 2009!

Nearly a week had passed by and I've finally finished the biggest thing I set out to do back in December: To clear my room. It was such a *monumental* task that it took me the whole month! It saw me throwing, cleaning, recycling and packing of all the papers, clothes, toys, bags and furniture. Simply madness stuff~

I purposed in my heart that till I finish clearing my room, I will not blog. Not at my geek blog, not at my Christian walk blog, not at my cell's blog, nowhere. And so I did, at least I try to.

There was a single exception when God called me to blog for a brother facing family issues. If it interests you, you can read my entry here and my brother Ezekiel's reply here. :)

So now that you have read this blog post, it only implies one thing. I'm happy to announce that I have a proper study area for the year 2009, a very clean room, and I hope I will not mess it up anytime soon. :P

In my next post, I will be penning down my new year's resolutions. I can't write it down now because it's past 11pm, and one of my new year's resolutions is to actually sleep by 11pm. :D

Till the next post then!

Let's Clean Things Up

Not that I'm spacing my day out, but I'm not getting much things done either. Too many things were crying out for attention in my mind that I just have to pour them out to my to-do lists. These in turn, requires clearing up too, but at the very least, they are no longer mind-bugging me for now. :S

It's amazing how much rubbish one can accumulate if there's no habitual clean ups. I used to have the constant self reminding discipline to clean things up but as some areas of my life, like work or my responsibilities, got busier, other areas suffered.

There's no secret now aye? My room *IS IN A MESS*. Neglected for too long, but I've been lazy for even longer. And guess what? Time flew so fast that the year is already drawing to an end. With no intention to spend my December holidays in that mess hole of mine, the decision was made.

Unbearable, I started clearing last night. Plowed through stacks of insurance papers, advertisements, newspapers, invoices, taxes, receipts, bills, snail mail spams, magazines, books, blah~ Lying on the floor were paper bags, collected either from events that I had attended or remnants after retail therapy. MY GOSH!

2 weeks is my deadline, and I planned to work on the serious load of crap everyday. There's no wonder that there's no photo to show you the embarrassing state of my room, *loL~*, but then again, I don't think I'll ever post any photos of my room _anyway_. :P

STOP!

Don't mind me. A self reminder.

One Crazy Driver

So I was walking across the road after lunch and made sure there were no cars. The next moment I heard the turbo charge sound and my colleague grabbed my arm.

Thank God for my colleague's quick action because there was a black vinyl car that was speeding right in my way.

The aggression from the driver was ridiculous. He stopped right in front of us, lowered down his window and questioned my colleague "What did you say?!" when all he said to me while grabbing my arm was "slow down." My colleague must have been totally pissed by his appalling attitude and shouted at him to "F*** off~."

One crazy driver. He must have been driving at around 120km/h and could have beaten the red light just to get to where we were. Whatever it is, I'm just glad that that my colleague held me back if not I could have ended up in a bad mess on the road judging from that kind of speed.

PS: The driver looked like late 30s to 40s. Has hair that's dyed gold and spiked. Face is not cleanly shaven and wears pink top today. If you happen to recognise him, do stay away. Who knows what he might do EVEN WITHOUT HIS CAR.

A Great First Day Of Recovery

I just got to say that I'm enjoying taking leave and spending time at home. *bliss~*

Firstly I recovered from my lost of sleep this morning, cos I slept till 1130am! haha.. That's approximately 10+ hours of sleep! Imagine for the last few days when I was clocking an average of about 5-6 sleep hours, and you'll probably understand why I felt so "recovered". :P

Spent some time to polish up my shoes, changed water for my plants, sayanging my dogs, watching movies, singing my favourite songs, going for my 4km jog, spending quality time with God, and settling some other miscellaneous stuff.

I am truly enjoying myself. (Oh.. and I'm blogging now~ :D)

I Want To Blog!!!!

And so I did~ *loL~*

It's pretty amazing, but I've already been on my current job for 6 months already! I hate to repeat but it's just so true, time really flies.

In about 4 months and 2 weeks time, I would have officially worked for 2 years already. What have I accomplished, the things that I look forward to, the inspirations and the countless aspirations are the things which I will be reflecting upon. Next year I'll be 25, and it seems to be a great year for greater things to come. :D

In the upcoming 1 and a half months though, I will be entering full throttle in preparation for my competition. It's really taking up a huge part of my time now, as reading and upgrading my skill set becomes an everyday affair. The materials are stacked so high I feel I'm back in school studying for a major exam. haha.. Funny how a little competition can drive me so hard. ;)

Anyway, I kinda finally guessed what kind of blogger am I. Spill-forth-random-thoughts, organise-it-later, and too-lazy-to-slowly-upload-photos type. Not too sure if it's too lazy or too busy regarding the photos part; I can't be sure these days. I get so busy till I just wanna stone around and do nothing. You guys experience that too?

Half of 2008 had passed, if you had new year's resolutions 6 months ago, how's your progress? If no resolution, then nothing much to think about since there's nothing being thought at the beginning of the year anyway. *loL~*

For myself, I'm glad that I'm still progressing in the direction that I pursued, and in my walk with God too. Would just want to thank God for seeing me through all the tough and trying times, and showing me that His faithfulness is so real. :)

Praise God!

Survived The Mad Rush

After 2 weeks of intense studying and application of new programming languages, I finally survived the mad rush. *phew*

But of course, it's not entirely "the end" yet. There's still plenty of stuff that I wanna touch up on before delivering it this Friday, and there's also the possibilities of more changes to come. No matter how tough it had been (which caused me to fall sick over the weekend), I'm glad I went through it. I feel so much more equipped as a web developer now. *lol~*

Anyway, time is really zooming pass now la. It's just another 2 months (gasp!) before code::Xtreme::Apps and I still have yet to get started with my learning yet. Time is running short, so blogging will also be cut down to a minimum (hopefully not stand still). :(

From the current project however, the intense study schedule that I had kinda set the motivation off. I began to enjoy hitting books again, and I don't want this fire to die off just yet. Better harness it to study more (can you see I'm really worried about not being well equipped? :P).

Regarding the photos from Japan... ... ... ... ...*lol~*

Jap In This Blog?

Just in case you were wondering why the quietness in this blog over the past few days, the reason is here! :D

A little update on my jap learning; it has been real fun with minimum amount of commitment. In fact, the only time I committed was those spent travelling to and fro work! Currently I'm at lesson 13 of 30 in my little jap book. haha.. Progress progress!!

I am thinking of posting some jap snippets here and there regularly in this blog, partly for me to practice, and maybe who knows you can learn something too? ;)

Oh gosh, my blog is going to become a junk yard full of the stuff that I squeeze in my life. XD

はじめまして！

Ok that's super limited. But that's all for now. :P
