ordinary people

it's late and i'm still here at work. it sucks when your experimental data shows significant measurement discrepancies. it doesn't help also to be working on questionable, less reliable experimental subjects. now, do i wanna 'massage' the data a tad bit and make it believable? or, do i wanna give a straight, realistic data that will get some people 'excited' in the morning? hehe.. the joy of having to work on real-life, expensive, risky, life changing (or not) assignments. gotta love this job! and to those who are still in school, stay put as long as you can!! it's freakin scary out here!

my toothache turned out to be nothing more than a sore jaw. (huh?!). exactly. i think i slept wrong or something. or i haven't been feeling it since i stopped my daily rigorous chocolate indulgence (leftovers from halloween). time will tell i guess. and i think i should start taking care of my body more. i'm not even 30 yet and i'm struggling to recover from prolong physical workouts. i've been feeling a sustained soreness and/or tiredness at joints, and a general feeling of exhaustion through the days. is that bad? perhaps i could cut back on my late shows musings (jay leno and david letterman and craig ferguson), save the occasional appearances of hot stars, ie charlize theron or jessica alba, and get some quality sleep time. we'll see how it goes.

and i would strongly recommend john legend's album 'get lifted', when and if you're thinking about getting yourself a new album. it's a wonderful r&b album bla, bla, bla.. there. i'm just bad with words. sorry. well, the album's worth buying. there, again.

okeh-kokeh.. wishing you excellent health all around, and hope the day's been kind to you (so far). stay safe now.

what hurt more - a toothache or a pimple in the nostril? i can't really tell right now because i have both. double bummer. and i got a chipped toe nail too that got aggravated last night after being stepped on during footie. that bastard. to be fair, he probably didn't know. and i did kicked his shins in anger a few times. but that bastard.

hope you're in excellent health. do take care now k!

i've moved into the core team room recently. no, seriously, kinda big deal to me. and kinda understanding all about being in the corridors of power here.. where many important decisions that involve millions of dollars are made everyday. imagine the pressure, albeit i'm just a pawn in this business. i didn't wanna move in at first, but here i am being surrounded by some high level executives in the company, me acting all cool and all knowing. after all, i am the program's systems engineer.. it's a given that i should know everything about the program.

i had a decent raya celebration here in colorado. got in late to the eid prayer but didn't miss the prayer. then off to work. oh, and i had my maroon baju melayu and sampin on the whole day. people were asking me question about my attire for that whole day, which i was more than happy to explain. then off to rose's house for some laksa, and musa's house for some nasi minyak and satay. saturday was a crazy day.. lost in the second round of the denver clay court tournament in the morning and off to golden to meet up with tyiara and csm's gang. while there, met up with kak azie and family. had some bihun rebus. then convoyed with 6 other cars from golden to rose's open house in denver. later that day, went to bl's for a gathering with the longmont gang. prepared some chicken satay and kuah kacang earlier (bl volunteered to grill the satay). the nasi impit didn't come out as expected, so had to ditch it. kakting prepared some nasi lemak (special request from karwei) and callie prepared some chicken and beef rendang. plenty for the gang.

i think i was extremely exhausted from the whole excursion that i fell asleep on the couch during the party. well, it was worth the exhaustion. eidul fitri in colorado 2005.

hola! hope you're in excellent health and better company. times have been rough this past few weeks.. on the personal front and on the professional front. some things are better left unspoken about. or when the right time permits. trying times are what make life meaningful. now having said that, i don't mind having nothing to do and worry about stuff at times too. i'm a slacker, remember? i've been craving for my mom's singgang for the last three weeks or so. quite sad i might add. but enough to console a battered heart. comfort food. how long can anyone live on past history? and not having moved on? well, sometimes the past comes back as a reminder of who you were before, and whether you've become a better person since. sometimes it's just nostalgia. i'd go back to where i feel, felt, safe and comfortable during these trying times. and it's not always the best thing to do. whatever that can take you out of being down and depressed. hope you've had a wonderful hari raya celebration. do take care ok.
