Life at work has been great. Although it is peak season now, where everyone goes back at ungodly hours (ie. 10pm/ 11pm/ 12am) in order to fulfill the filing deadline, I feel like Ive grown in the past month or so, more rapidly than usual. In terms of technical capabilities (clearly, anything is rapid progression when your technical competencies start from 0 =.=), as well as in maturity. Being a new staff and being thrown in the thick of everything, I have to learn and pick up points really quickly. Its not fun at times, when your senior expects much from you and your struggling to deliver, but I think overall I did pretty alright so far (I hope!!)

During this period, I also went for my first stand up comedian show. Ive always been watching stand up comedies on youtube. Unfortunately, some of the jokes will only be understood and laughed at by the locals, so sometimes when I watch, I really dont get why it was so funny. Plus, I dont know many stand up comedians in Malaysia, so I actually was looking forward to this when Pok suggested it. Of course, typical of us, we went to PJLA at 8pm to get a ticket for the show at 8.30pm. I thought, thats it la, there is no way we can make it in time la for this. Mana tau, when I went to the booth, the lady told me, there are still tickets. But when we went in before the show starts, the show was actually fullhouse. This only means one thing. Everyone bought the ticket between 8 - 8.30pm!! typical Malaysians really. Anyway, the show was by Harith Iskandar (honestly I only knew he was Harith something, never actually knew what was his name). Another Malaysian comedian opened the night for him, by the name of Kuan Jen Han. I have to admit, this chinese dude was really good! his jokes about us Malaysians wanting to taste something that a friend said was bad to confirm that it really tastes bad was really funny! His joke about spot checking woman to make sure they wore panties was really good too haha.

He was that good, that I think he overshadowed Harith Iskandar a little (agreed by Pok).

On another note, tennis has been great, I don't think Im progessing as much as this since, well, since I start playing actually! I don't know if its because now the lessons are paid by me and hence, that I tend to be very serious during training. Anyhow, its a good thing anyway so Im not complaining. Played with one of his students the other day. I have to admit I was really afraid to play with him, especially when he hits really well when he was in training and Pok and I was watching. Honeslty, I thought the coach was joking when he said he wants us to have a match, until he was like "just come and play la seriously", that I was like thinking 'Oh shit, he is actually serious about this. Have to admit, It feels really different playing in a match, as it felt like forever since I actually played a proper match. Lucky I manage to beat him (barely), due to good fortune and lucky shots haha!

Just came back from PC fair. Honestly, this PC fair thingy is getting WAY TOO FLOODED with laptops. Honestly, at least the last time around I see some booths selling desktops. This time around, I only noticed ONE!! that's pathetic. Of course, when Pok and I saw that a new quad core computer only costs RM1799, we almost tripped over in disbelief! less than RM2000 for Quad Core, wtf...!! What a difference 4 months make. When I bought my laptop, everyone was using Core 2 Duo. Now, even at RM2000 you can get a laptop with i3 Intel Processor. Oh well, as I said, we can never keep up with the pace of technology and its price. Actually today's mission was mainly to look for my sis's laptop. Since she got 12As in SPM (godlike!!), my dad promised her a laptop. And I think even before she went, she already made her choice to buy Macbook Pro. SO, I actually think it was quite a redundant trip for her, since the info they gave are already from the web. Oh well, at least I think it was good she went to a PC fair to witness the crowd. In the end, the person who bought the most things is.. guess who!! Me lo! Was looking for hard disk, and was my only target during PC fair. Initially, I thought of just getting the 2.5" hard disk, since they are easy to carry around. 500GB for RM275 is quite ok. But thanks to Pok, he suggested the 1TB for RM329, since it was double the space for RM50 more. The only thing that is holding me back was that this 1TB hard disk was a 3.5" hard disk that requires a seperate power source. In the end, I bought the 1TB for the amount of space, and again, convinced by Pok that I dont need to carry them around anyway since if I want to carry around I have the 250GB hard disk to carry, where as I can just put this 3.5" hard disk at home.

So, that pretty much sums up my life so far since the last update. Another 2 more weeks, and the filing deadline would be over. Things to look forward to:

1. Series (been really far behind, I want to catch up Heroes, considering how much I actually knew about Heroes before I stopped; I want to catch up on Smallville too, since Season 9 started off really well, but I have unfortunately not been downloading it)

2. Universal Studios (Singapore here I come after peak!!)

3. PJ Laugh Fest (everyone who actually reads my blog ought to go for this! really looking forward to this!!)

That's all for now, have a great week ahead!
