Hmmm…

By Rudy

I’m at home. I’m sitting at the computer. But I’m not playing SimCity 4. Well, not yet.

Streamyx is acting the way it should be, so at least I can download stuff I’ve been wanting for a while (more manga!). And my sister doesn’t seem to be mentioning anything about how gorgeous her city is. Luckily too, she hasn’t been able to find my Sims CD *sigh of relief*.

Ate lunch with the consultants at Chili’s today. Had a go with their Cajun Fajitas, and they’re really good! But it left me with an empty wallet and a sore throat. Hope it’s not SARS. We waited almost 45 minutes for our food, and I understand that it takes time to serve a big crowd, but heck, they shouldn’t expect people to wait that long! Plus they didn’t even let us sit inside (understaffed they said – what a load of bull). How can they not afford a full complement of workers when they charge astronomical prices for food that arrives after the first round of drinks?

Well, enough bitching for now. As I look back at the design of this site, a whole smackeroo of ideas flood my membranes (did that make sense?). But I’m not really the designer type, so I’ll just leave it at that. Don’t have a webcam, so no live pics. Have a digicam, but I’m not good at taking pics of myself. But I’ll put up something soon hopefully…

Note to self: must sleep early tonight!

Manga:
Basara Chapter 43.
Don’t remember what else I downloaded.

PS: I’ll be attending some presentation on e-learning this Monday in Bangi. Woohoo, a chance to claim some mileage!

Food and Games

By Rudy

Been a while hasn’t it? I kinda forgot what happened over the past few days, to post here at least. I’ll just start in reverse chronological order; easier for me. 🙂

Went to the Yacht Club today; spent the whole day there napping and reading. My sister had her sailing exhibition, and my lil bro had fun running about with his young friends.

Why did I nap so much? Spent 4 hours at the Match Room in Sri Hartamas last night with Azuan and Vincent and another friend. Arrived home at 3AM. We spent those hours playing Battlefield 1942, which is an awesome game. Vincent sure likes to mock newbie like me, but I’ll show him next time (adds a new entry on his pasar malam shopping list).

Friday was a usual day for me. Had the consultants fix-up their deliverables to make them work better.

ST Nemesis was a great movie. Much more action-packed than the previous ST movies. I misplaced my phone again that night; ended up going back to the office only to find out a lot later that my lil bro left it under a pile of papers in the car. 😛 Well, at least now I know where the working public phones are in Mid Valley.

Work as usual today. Busy,

By Rudy

Work as usual today. Busy, messy, etc. Had to fix some errors for the company to print its EA forms. Had to do some ASP web development to get some users to do something. A new consultant came in today; wonder how long she’ll last (many came before and left :P).

Masrey sms-ed and Vincent called this morning! How rare is that? They were lining up to get tix for Thursday’s ST Nemesis at Mid Valley. How nice of them to remember me. Kinda late though. 😛 Didn’t give me enough time to find a date, so I’ll just bring Wan Yee along…. *sigh*

And I found out this other website was doing Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou translations! And it has 103 chapters translated!! I knew before actually, but I never bothered to check. Arg.. oh well.. won’t be bored for a while.

Manga:
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Volumes 8-9

Started playing:
C&C: Generals. Computer too slow. Jerky 3D graphics. 🙁

Trust No One

By Rudy

Consultants… can’t be too friendly with them. You see them working oh-so-hard, and yet, when the deadline comes, they hand you something either unfinished or broken. I got suckered not too long ago, and now I’m suffering. *Toot!*

Had a chat with disaster this morn; looks like she finally reeled in the big fish. Hope she doesn’t get swallowed up by it, as I am.

MangaProject seems to be really active, especially with Basara. No complaints there! 🙂

And finally, it’s pasar malam night! Need to get .. er .. some new flat donut-shaped shining thingies.

Manga:
Basara Chapter 42
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Chapter 65
Break Shot! Vol 7 Chapter 7
