Celebrated Shahz’ birthday last night with a nice long dinner at the Shang’s Lemon Garden buffet line. The selection was fabulous: roast beef/lamb, yammies (mini-lobsters), dim sum, traditional lauk stuff, italian, etc. etc. etc. and last but not least, the choco fountain! 
Onaka ga ippai!
The usual gang was there, with Kelvin, his gf who came later from Lunabar, Wil Kin, and CP (part of the ol’ HELP gang). Even without having to be there, their reminiscing(?) of old times were hilarious. Especially when Rizal’s involved.
Oh well, back to work. Got some system overview presentation to give to some top management guys. Hopefully it’ll work out OK. And as Az said, maybe I’ll get introduced to some of their 19-20 yr old daughters.
A senior manager has earmarked me for promotion.
My project manager has marked me as undisciplined.
I agree with both of them.
I practically lived in the office for months last year. Only reaching home at wee hours in the morning, I could only get back to work 1 to 2 hours late, sometimes more.
No one complained then.
I have not heard a single peep about the 30 or so off-in-lieu days I applied for since I submitted it 3 months ago.
I didn’t complain. Much.
Now why is it such a problem if I come in late sometimes? What’s the big deal if I was usually late 2-10 minutes? I have never ever short-changed the company, giving back every single minute after 5p.m., usually more.
I don’t remember having a KPI measure for coming to work on time. Nor is it a competency requirement for my job. You want me to change my ways? What happened to my application for a time management course? Do you even bother to help besides giving ‘advice’ every now and then, and mentioning my name at morning talks?
I’m really at a loss as to what to commit myself to now. Be a good dumb boy and come to work on time, leave my work for later, and go home when the clock chimes 5? Or continue solving system issues that the consultants you hired can’t even get a clue on?
Time for a different play. We’ll see you at the end in 4 years.

There goes my winning streak. I’m back to square one.
It all started with Bobbin’s Coalition of the Willing. Third parties followed suit to finish me off. All in the span of two nights.
It’s all in the state of mind.
Just gotta keep a postive attitude, irregardless of how it goes.
Gotta check on my pockets too.

Let’s chat!
Handphones? Too expensive. IRC? Too yesterday.
So let’s go radio. Wooohooo!
The five who went down for the weekend are back in town with new toys! All alike in shape and color, they’re simple two-way radios called Motorola T5500’s.
Though I can’t reach any of the Bangsar gang from my place, the transmission and reception is quite good at my office, being so many floors up. Looks like the office is going to get a lil more noisy.
Here’s a few callsigns assigned:-
My office: The ivory tower.
Me: Holy Hands.
Merv: Mashimaro.
Fish: …. Fish. Or Snake.
I forgot exactly what Zoe’s callsign is. Probably Teddybear. Andy’s is to be confirmed when we find something that really hits the spot. 
Gonna have dinner with em tonight. The Tiling Committee’s Lonely Hearts Club.
