Oh Sleep! I Need!

Took virtually an entire week off last week and only came back to work on Monday. Well, if ya wondering why i said "virtually", here's the reason - network service migration. Company decided to cut cost and upgrade the network connectivity performance all at one go by globally signing on to the BT (British Telecom) bandwagon. Had to cancel one day from my leave. Still got about 40% of data cleanup and entry to do that i bitched about from my previous post below.

I dunno about the rest, i find the best way for me to relax is to sleep, eat and sleep summore (beside watching movies and killing some terrorists with my PS3). Literally spend my days at home with only a few outings to my cousin's place in Damansara. Took my mum to visit his family as he has just got his early x'mas present - his 2nd son. Congrat Stan J! Hope the baby and S.L - the 2nd time mum, will be healthy.

Funnily enough, drop by Ikea as me mum wanted to shop for some stuff for the house to prepare for the rapidly approaching Chinese New Year - end of January. Feels weird to prepare for it since Christmast is still a week away. Have to confess, i only had the stupendously good Ikea hotdogs every single time i visited Ikano Power Center. Well, since me mum was with me, decided to have lunch at the restaurant in Ikea. Not bad at all, the food in there. Had the vegetarian pasta and the leg of chicken with 2 bottles of mineral water for about 19 bucks.

Had a game of field footie last Saturday in Kajang against a bunch of great guys from St Katherine's Church. Needless to say the MyRAWK boys was as "muhibah" as usual with a team of Malay, Chinese and Indian boys playing together. We won the exciting match 2-3 with the wining goal scored very near to the end of the game. I played as a left back in the first 25 mins before i gave way to the others to play. Was a good work out as them boys from St. Kath's can really run!

That sums up my entire last week. Gotta get back to work sloggin it out on me keyboard again to finnish up me work. Till then. Enjoy the live performance of Coldplay's Chinese Sleep Chant - a hidden song from the new Viva La Vida album.

End of the year, holiday mood is here, but i'm as busy as ever!

Been a hell of a fortnight for me and it's not gonna go any easier anytime soon. When everyone is happily clearing their leave for this year by going on a holiday, i'm freaking stuck staring at my notebook screen for at least 10 hours a day for at least another 2 weeks. I'm trying to finish up the last minute dash to clean up my office's database to prepare for a migration to a new system scheduled for 2010.

That single paragraph literally summed up my life or lack of it for the past 2 weeks. Hence, i ain't got much to work with in terms of coming up with an interesting topic for me blog. The last thing in me head now is to blog as frankly i'm getting tired of looking at the lcd screen of me notebook day-in, day-out. I need a freaking break before i go bonkers and beserk.

Well, since my supported club - Liverpool ain't doing too good and not exactly giving me much joy, it's been a pretty frustrating time for me. Originally planned to got for a week's worth of rest next week and a few more days after x'mas, my plans are basically wrecked unless by some devine intervention, i can miracalously complete my data entry and cleaning up process for the database.

Until that happends, the only fun i'm gonna have is a few games of futsal and this weekend's trip to watch the Liverpool "Legends" play in the Football Master's Malaysia Cup. Well, that's if you can consider the "Spice Boys" as legends. The only legend i'd say is Ian Rush and Nigel Spackman in the team sheet.

Well, time for me to slog it out with my notebook again to complete my work. Till then, enjoy ya holiday trips and have fun, but pls take good care of yourself especially with the recent spat of violence and protest overseas.
