Fie for Thought

Well then. My friend's out of town to India from some investment meeting and so the company is left under my charge. Busy as hell. I understand how is it like to be a boss/supervisor.
The responsibilities are on you and if you don't do it, no one else would and that would mean bad business. I went to work on Saturday, full day, yes full day, from morning till afternoon doing standby and training in the morning and paper works in the afternoon till evening. In this short period of time, I've done quotations, invoices and handing over certs, board meetings, schematic drawing, DSP programming and scheduling. Not to mention hands on work. 5-in-1. Lol I was so busy that I didn't notice how heavy of a smoker I've become. Before I know it I was outside smoking my next cig. Gosh.
And I'm not complaining about these new found responsibilities. I've always yearn to do something that takes advantage of multitasking. The "CS days" hunger is back. A goal set to achieve.
Oh anyway, here's the all tidied up office of mine. Just a small office, nothing much to expect from it, but its good and comfy enough to do work.
My workplace. Ignore the pink chair please.
And the rest of the office. Small yes.
Yup, that's it. Just a place to work and rest. Its nice the way it is now. Hopefully to make it nicer in the future. No longer work, more like, something to do everyday.

Finally, had a break from the rush. Went out to meet up with Fi and Mich for dinner at yet another new place called "Hook-ed!", Upp Thomson.
Cool place.
So we had salman "tapas"
Whatever that means.
Some mushroom soup
Scallops
Fish pie. Yummy.
Fi's main course.
It looks damn tempting la.
Mine's looked like an oversized curry puff.
But inside, its heaven.
Erm, Mich's main. Looks...well..spaghettish?
And of course, desserts! Huge waffles for each of us. Heeee.

So yeah. Lovely evening to end the day. Did catching up, and stories to share. Laughters here and there. We missed these outings, don't we? I know I did.

After witnessing a few events the past few days at work and play, suddenly I'm rather skeptical of the future. I can't place it but I have to avoid or change something to make the future look brighter. My intuition tells me that something's amiss, that I'm doing something wrong, or rather I should be doing something better. But what is wrong or bad I don't know. Its kinda freaky when your intuition is rather accurate most of the times even though you want to believe that its not.
Guard the back, watch the front, cover the sides, they told me.
What about from above, under and inside? Whatever it is, it's making my senses sharper to observe, read and see through a person. The truth can sometimes be told without saying a word. Though sometimes, the words doesn't make sense.

I was chatting with my cousin recently on the issue of getting married and having a child. I used to not want a child but after giving it a thought, I guess its ok to have one. I'd prefer a girl. So I went on to survey my married/engaged friends on their future plannings.
The ones that are married, warned me not to spend so much on the wedding, but spend it all on the honeymoon and the new home. Yes, a grand wedding is a once in a lifetime thing, but to spend thousands of dollars on one event and have none left is rather a waste if you ask me. I rather use that money go for a grand honeymoon, renovate my new house uberly nice, and if there's a baby coming, there's money left to sustain him/her. I remember the time when I was a little kid, 3-4yrs old, my dad actually make most of the furniture at home himself. Those times were rather hard on my parents. Another example is my friend. He spend 40k ringgit and another 15k SGD for his grand wedding. In the end, he had 7k left with an empty house. No money for furniture or renovations. Took him 2 long hard lived years to get back on track. He even asked his wife for abortion because they've decided that they won't be able to support the baby.
Money, money, money. Lol. I guess it evolves around just about anything.
On a lighter note, work's been good so far and again because of my age and my short 1 year experience, people just don't believe the work that I've done. Biasness.
Just wait and see...

The world is a noisy place. It's so noisy that it's irritating at times. I can be very annoyed by noise. That's why I love the late nights. Where the noise is much lesser and it is more peaceful. Being alone in a quiet place is what I wish I could have. Stay in during the day when the noise reach its peak and come out at night where noise is lesser. I think it'd be cool to work at night. Being an owl and sleeps when everyone else is awake. Its just so damn noisy.
Maybe its just my ears. Or maybe I'm a quiet person. I hate noise. Noise makes me moody. Noise makes me irritated. Noise distracts me. Noise keeps me awake.
I wish to be living in my own place.
