So long and Thanks for all the fish

Finally the day is at an end and I can go home and pack for my 3 day trip !!

We will be sailing in a 24 foot yacht !!
We are going to sail the seven seas in 3 days and We are going to catch some sexy mermaid!!

Lets Rock and ROLL!!!

Anyway, see you all soon.

Enjoy the rest of your working week .... =P

One more day and I am going off to sail the Seven Seas!! wOO Hoo!!

Well ok, not the seven seas, but I am going to be in a sail boat, and I am going to learn what is the starboard and port, how to trim the sails and the best of all, I'll be able to say... "Number 1 engage....."

3 of us are going to hire a boat and sail the local habour and learn a few tricks. Hopefully no one will drown =P

Can't wait!!

Another Farewell dinner for work. I think IT has the biggest churn stats in all the professionals. People come and go like a conveyer belt. And the funny thing is that if you stay in a company long enough, you will probably see them again in the same company.

So, here I am thinking, maybe it is also time for me to go too. My absolute fear is to be stagnant. To be stuck on in an dead end job for the next 20 years. I have a work mate sitting behind me, who is starting a family and he is over 30 , been in the company for 8 years and he is stuck here. He doesnt want to change, he is comfortable. Everyday I come to work and I see this fat dude, complaining that he is not getting paid enough, playing with his web site and just doing the same thing. I fear in 5 years time I would be him.

I have been in this position for over a year, and my average life span in a position in the company is 1.5 years. So I guess it is time to leave. There is not future prospect here . I can't go anywhere...well actually I don't want to go anywhere in this company. I think a new company and new people will be great. I have met some great people here but I cant stay here forever.

Now I have to decide which path I should go. Somewhere similar to what I am doing, or something all together different.

What is it about Anniversary and girls.....

Yesterday the "boss" reminded me that is was our 13th month anniversary!!... yep you heard it right... ??

Comeon, I can understand the celebration of the first 3 months, 6 months, the first year!!... but why 13th months. And if I do remember, what do we do to celebrate this occasion?

Does Hallmark have a card for such a celebration?

Does it say "Happy (Insert month) Anniversary"??

Thank god it was late and she did not make a big fuss about it... but does this mean that I should do something for the 14th month ? or 15th or 16th ??...yikes!!

I am already broke from the 1st year anniv.... and it was only a month ago...

Is so, maybe I should start thinking of getting another job =P

Due to my curiosity, I finally borrowed the infamous movie Gigli. This was the movie which features Ben Affleck and J-Lo, and it was a major flop in the box office.

Ok, here is a summary of the movie. BA and Jlo are both "bullies" for hire. They were both hired to kidnap a kid who is mentally challenged. J-Lo was a lesbian, but decided to change team after she saw BA topless. Then they decide to saw the kid and run aways together....The End.

Yes that is right, it is a shit story!!
I think they wanted to make something like Rain Man meets Out of Sight, but all we see is a pile of steaming doo doo.

For the fans, they is no sex scenes, there is no nudity and they sure hell did not have any chemistry at all!!!

So for god sake, dont' waste your time and watch this.

It is amazing how much hype this nerdy guy is getting. From what I have read, this dude is going to get man an ALBUM!! that's right, he is going to produce a "music" Album. God Help us all.

Anyway, if you enjoy is "style" of singing, then you will enjoy this site. William The Dancing Man

Another work mate is going to be a dad!! And I wonder when will it be my time!!
Sometimes I think I am ready to help bring a new life into this crazy world and sometimes I fear that this world is just too crazy and I am not strong enough to care for this new life.

I guess we are biologically ready, well actually biologically we should have had one before we were 20, but now a days, who are in a commited relationship at that age.

But am I mentally ready? I guess no one can be totally ready until they are in the situations, so I guess I am not ready. I think of myself still as a child learning the hard life in this harsh world.

Are we Financially ready? Definately not. But again can we be ever ready. The cost of living is not going down and the pay is never enough.

So how do people do it ?
How do you decide when you are ready ?
Do you just have a leap of faith ? Do you just do what you always do in a life situation? Just take your chances and role the dice?

Survived another week!
Man do I need this weekend !!

This week is worst than most is because my boss was not here today, so my lazy arse work mate would not do any work. I had to do everything. He would not talk to Ops eventhough he was the one who was more experienced with the plugins.

Damn Lazy arse bastard.

All he does at work is download torrents on his laptop and go onto forums...

Anyway it is time to go home, so I am going to leave this place once again....

I think I really need a new job. Something which of course would pay me more, but atleast appreciate my hardwork....pah...if pig might fly....

It seems that the infamous CowBoy Caleb have moved and made himself a new home. His tribe has decided to expand their empire and start conquering the Net as well.

I have to say that the site is Wang-a-li-sious. And if I ever get more pay than a local McDs boy, I might move into a real site, rather than leaching of a freeby =) Not than there is anything wrong with leaching of a freeby =)

It is funny because it is so true =P



1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 10 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail your mate who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they do not have e-mail addresses.

6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" or "9" to get an outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. Contractors out number permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards.

AND THE REAL CLINCHERS ARE

13. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling.

14. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends".

15. You got this email from a friend that hardly talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net.

16. You are too busy to notice there was no No. 9.

17. You contemplate scrolling back up to check that there wasn't a No.9.

18. And now you are laughing at yourself !

Finally, you forward this to your friends ..

lunch time soccer is getting more and more aggressive. It seems most people are bring out the read hardware, soccer boots, shin pads etc.

I think it is time for me to get some shin pads too. Currently my shins feels like a big bruise. It seems that every game we play, I get my shins kick in. The "boss" is definately not happy about my bruises, but she doesn't understand that it is like a badge of honour. It is like saying that you put your body on the line for the game. But I have to agree with her that the injuries is taking a told on me. I fear on day I might get a broken bone or something... fingers cross I dont.

A new game may be an alternative. I think touch footy or ultimate frisby will be my next suggestions for game. Hopefully I will not experience as much injury.

Monday: Work, then drove to the city to pick up the "boss". She Was not feeling too well. She had double bad news. The office was broken into on the weekend and one of her workmates mum past away on Friday night. She works a very close knit environment, so it was quite depressing for her.

We met the deceased just last month for her daughters 21st birthday. She went into hospital last week for some minor surgery for her stomach. Her daughter told us that she was find on monday morning and she was just starting to eat solid food... but later that evening..she past away. It was a shock to everyone.

No one was prepared.

It is something so sad and so shocking, which reminds us, how fragile life is and how life of one of our love ones can disappear so very very quickly. Sometimes such sadness really highlights the futility of life. How can we move on from such sudden lost. How can we ever be the same again, when part of your life just disapper.

Is life is part of GODs cruel joke ? Or there is a meaning to this? A meaning to a human life?


Sunday: Work work work... Then Church and Sleep.

Saturday: went to a Mega Centre in Liverpool (1.5 hrs from home) and brought lots of Krispy Kreme donuts. If you have not heard of it or eat it, then I trully recommend it. It kicks all the other donut makers ass!!
The donuts is soft, sweet and very very fluffy =)

Somethin’ in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There’s somethin’ in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I’ve been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you’ve done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I’m all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I’m all the way back where I belong

The weather is really killing me, after an early start on Tuesday morning, I was looking forward to a nice rest last night, but due to the incredible heat in the apartment, I was sweating like a pig in bed and so I had a horrible night. I was twisting and turning all night long.

I do have A/C in the apartment, but it is only in the living room, so it takes forever to cool down the whole apartment... Man I swear if I ever have enough money to get my own place I am going to put an A/C right next to be in bed.

Anyway today was looking promising, since it looks like it is going to rain and the weather is really cool, so I was thinking this morning that I am going have myself a nice relaxing sleep tonight ...but guess what.. I have another early start for work again !!!

Yep, just got told about it!! we have an emergency release and I have to be there to ensure that is it fine!
Bah!! I swear it is one problem why you should never live too close to work ... everyone wants you to be here at work early in the morning!!

My only bright side is that I get to go home early tomorrow....woo pee dii do!

I think I need a new job

It was a balmy 32 degrees celsius today. Thank god for A/C!!
As always I had trouble waking this morning... I don't what it is, but once your body have tasted sleeping in on the weekend, it just wants more... no matter how much you sleep, you can always sleep more, especially when it is time to work.

Anyway work today was ok... learning a things about Perl. Man I can't believe we still use Perl, this is so old school...
I guess that is why most of the developer here don't want to leave... or can't leave.

Played Ultimate frisbee today... it is an awesome game. Lots of running and lots and lots of sweating!!... especially under such heat!!
Man I think I nearly suffered a heat stroke under the sun.
Now I have a great tan line on my face, tracing my sun glasses... =P

After the game, I had a nice rest and a shower at home and went back to work...
then comes the bad news... I have to start at 6 am tomorrow morning!!
Fark!!

I hate morning release!!

I need my beauty sleep!!!

Saw the movie, A Man Apart last night. This is definitely a guy flick. Starring the stiff face Vin Diesel, this movie moves like an old mule with 3 legs. I truly believe that vin diesel could take the crown from Steven Seagal for the least changing facial feature in a movie. This man can't act and worst of all he can't fight.

It is just painful watching him "try to" cry... A dead cat has move emotive behaviour than him. I am guessing he gets his acting skills at the same school as Arnie.

Anyway the basis of the story is that his wife was murdered by the Mexican drug cartel and he wants revenge. The action is few and far between and the ending is a disappointment.

And if you think that there are girls to perv on...you are sorely mistaken, the movie don't even have any nice female to entertain us between the mediocre action.

Why did I even bother watching this movie?
Cause I thought Vin actually had some potential in XXX, but I guess it was just the bright lights in the movie.

Why should I be jealous of other people achievement?
Why should I be jealous of other people joy?
Why should I be jealous of other people Good Luck?

Why am I never contended with what I have, and why am I always blame someone else for my failures rather than owning it.

Does it matter that they are smarter or richer than you?
Does it matter that they have a better car or a bigger house?

Why be envious of material things?

Am I not in a supporting family? an adoring wife? an easy job and close friends? What esle do I need? What else do I want?

Network Marketing!
Why is everyone going into Network Marketing?
Does it really work ?
How do I say no to my friends who are inviting to one of this seminar?
Why can't they leave me alone ??!!

Which one have I been to ?
Emma Page
Usana
Amway
And the latest Gold Quest!!

So what do they sell? Nothing!! That is the whole point, what you buy is the business!

From my experience, in each seminar they would only spend 20% of the time telling you about the product they have, but what they sell is not the product (eg gold coins, vitamins, etc), but the business.

What they want us to do, is to be their walking, talking shop. We buy the business to make money and the product is like a benefit for getting the business

They spill out names like Robert Kiyosaki and Denis Waitley. Saying that they approve of this product and if they approve of it, this means it will work for us!

They say that we can be free from the shackles of work, by selling the business. They say that if you believe it, you will be rich.

What do I say ?

F**K OFF!!
Leave me alone!
I don't want your business and I don't want your "Financial Advise"

When I saw The Passion of the Christ last Saturday, along with a predominantly Catholic audience, there were an audible sadness and praise for this powerful movie. Even coming from a Buddhist background, I confess that the suffering that Jesus of Nazareth could even be felt in the pit of my stomach. I have read numbers of article on the film, critics calling the movie Anti-Semitic, the movie is too violent, etc..

But unless you have read the Christian scriptures and seen the movie, you can’t really judge the movie. Yes, the movie is violent. As a avid fan of bloody action, I can say I no problem with violent on screen, but the violences shown on the film, is not only about physical violence this character is subjected to, but it is the pain and suffering experienced by other characters. The emotional battle of Pontius Pilate (the Roman Overseer whom sentenced Jesus), the look of betrayal on Peter (the disciple whom denounced Jesus 3 times) and most of all the anguish felt by Mary (Mother of Jesus). I think the actress who portrayed Mary, is just amazing, she really showed the pain a mother would experienced.

Is the movie Anti-Semitic?
Personally, I don't think so. The story comes straight out of the Bible. The Passion (ie 12 hours before Jesus's Death) has been played by every Church and every year on Easter!
Nobody is claiming that the Bible is Anti-Semitic.
Nobody is claiming that Jesus did not get prosecuted by the Jewish people.
Nobody is claiming that Jesus did not get punish viciously by the roman.
Nobody is claiming that Jesus did not get crucify by the roman.

People forgets that Jesus himself was a Jew, he was actually considered a Rabbi! So therefore the Passion is about a Jew getting prosecuted by his Jewish peers and some people think that it is Anti-Semitic?... I just don't get it.

Anyway that’s enough of my 2 cents worth. So as for the general Agnostic movie goer, word of warning, if you have never read the book called "Bible" then be prepared to be lost in the movie sequence. The movie is slow and it assumes that you are a faithful christian and you know your gospel. If you are a sadistic bastard, than you would love the blood and gore, if you like a period piece or you just enjoy to tell people that you have ignore the words of critics and judge the film by yourself, than you might appreciate the film.

It is a movie, which will make you contemplate about your faith if you are a believer and if you are not a believer you may get a little more understanding on the Christian faith. So my suggestion is go out a see it, and make your own mind up.
