December 2007

I have being to several places while crusiing through December and here is the list:

1. Eureka Tower (aka sky deck 88) with friends.
2. Chadstone shopping centre by bus 767 with sis.
3. Southland Shopping Centre by bus 631 with sis.

Looking down from Eureka Tower I see lots of dry gardens and interesting roof tops. Although the Yarra river water is murkey from Eureka tower it sparkled with the help of the sun of course. Going by bus to distant shopping centres we get more time to browse, as we don't have bro/dad rushing us to go home and i must say without a time limit on you don't end up implusively buying unwarranted items. My sister and I ended soaking up the atmosphere and participate in other services than just 'purchasing'. nice.

My most prized purchase would be a mini digital frames/clock.

There is a f*k up site which is notorious for defamation of ppl www.sexualrelationship.databse.com beware of such fraudsters.

Things to remember:
1. Werribee zoo bus 439 does not operate on Sundays.
2. Hadouken = fireball aka punch (street fighter).
3. MMS must be under 100KB.
4. Melbourne Cup winner was number 6 horse 'efficient'. Followed by [2] no 12 purple moon, [3] no 24 malher, and [4] no 9 zipping (my horse lost).
5. IME and fb combo winner is Chinese (Taiwan) and New Changjie. Apparently, Chinese PRC and MS pinyin IME doesn't display too well. Oh well.

6. Sound vs spell: for-ca-za vs Foccia.

7. PC issue: if it keep rebootn. Set 2 reboot fr CD. Reformat HDD. Therefore backup weekly.

8. 3G fone as modem to PC:Ntwk conn -> create a new conn -> conn2Net -> setup my conn manu -> conn using a dialup modem -> select modem w/ ph title as usb -> config dialup number as *99# -> U+P = Vodafone -> copy/shortcut 2 desktop.

Distorted September cleared by October

My mind set was experiencing this overwhelming need or feeling "I would rather be home than at work" in August/September. Before 2007 I was never bored of repetition but in 2007 it made me ill and everything around me tasted bland. When i did work for Telstra mobile late September/October I feel empowerment and in control again. I was able to tailor my calls to customers and focus on delivering on the spot. The product flaws did not bother me as they will addressed by the evening, aka immediately in real time instead of months or years later as in my last job. As a team nothing is impossible in UCMS. Now i'm looking for a new challenge.

August was ignored and now it is September 2007

Oh i'm not much a frequent blogger. What i did in that course of time? Play games of course. Atelier Iris 3: grand phantasm. A very intriguing simple RPG game. Lots of funny situations, especially the part of baking a cake or find receipes to use alchemy to make newer items. Soon I'll be spending my time playing Sim2's bonvoyage . Woopie!

Oh i did watch a dvd, such as "Pursuit of hapiness", it made me cherish my life even more. I'm gonna be weary of business that swindle your hard earnt cash. Also I watched "Borne ultimatum" with FHS and work mates. It was one wicked film, kicks ass at each stage; and Mr.Borne is handsome and a capable man.

September evaluation and spring cleaning time. I question myself what do i like/want/need/enjoy? Since i'm an action person, I have nabbed a new job with help from a friend, cancelled flickr [display issues: 3-6 sets only + no more], signed up to facebook, and updated theme on my mobile phone. You ain't living unless things around you are what you wanted.

Notes: RFID is inserted in transit cards of Japan's SUICA, Hong Kong's OCTOPUS card, and London's OYSTER card.

July 2007

I had enough of whenever twats that happens to have a 8:30am start as well as I do, they somehow think they deserve priority. I have been attending to 8:30am starts since 2003. God damn it. The twat pees all over the toilet floor @ home which i had to F* clean up before I can use it. The twat hogged 30mins of bath room time. The twat ain't no chick. All unnecessary delay leaves me no time for hair styling or breakfast. Unless I wake up earlier, again unnecessarily!

Words that interests me: Emancipated minor = made/given a full adult status

Our PC was getting rubbish alert about registry files, so I re-configured the firewall, check connection method, a full scan on spyware and virus, then last step the long defraging part. I nicked off to another room to listen to music and write letters while the PC takes its time. Mom opens the door and says the PC is done or something, she walks in the room but doesn't get out of way from the door, I had to squeeze my way out [oddly] then she slams the door on my back. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I yelped in PAIN and swore MADLY @ her. What is the BIG idea! I proceed to tend to the PC, it was done with defrag, I tested connection and all is cool again no alert crap and so I switched the PC off. I walk back into the room only to find mom again at the doorway AGAIN and she is NOT getting out of the room not yet anyway. I told her to F*** off for F*** sake. I don't need crap "sorry" for a deliberate ATTACK of that sort! I have NO idea what i did to deserve that crap. SO MENTAL!

Why do i need to wake up way too early, for what? just because a twat wants to wake up at 6am, so another twat bugs me to wake up too. Ugh!
I start work @ 8:30am too but i always get up @ 6:55am for 10mths now. I don't like being RUSHed, badly dressed, missing stuff i need, and be angry just to be put on snail trail path. I opted to my way, my time, and my decision. Sure I don't have enough for a big breakfast/big breakfast chat. Do I care? I'm an evening person. Unnecessary wake up call.

Overall the start to July is painful on the body so far. My soul lives on and still kicking as it has goals of its own.

I got myself a Three's prepaid SIM kit and only to find out no mobile internet service is given to 'prepaid', only allowed if you are on contract plans, and if on cap plan mobile web is charged on top of the cap. No WAP as it doesn't have a GPRS due to no GSM as an alternative network. Quite a disappointment. Also I now see why people complained about Three's coverage, the roaming part is high on costs [Telstra], and you can lose reception indoors as well. Sad. To add to that you cannot use the USIM in a 2G mobile phone if your 3G handset breaks down. Ugh! OMG. Luckily I did not sign up for contract as yet and only mucked with SIM start up kit. VF still rocks.

Harry Potter and the order of phoenix was a splendid film, the story is closing in on some mystery yet opening a whole heap of questions at the same time.

The Simpson movie was awesome and the texture used in the film for animation feels lively. kinda like Sly Racoon. It has a classic feel yet updated and modern. The plot was controversal but interesting what pig 'crap' can do to the environment.

I hate it when illness takes away your independence and freedom. I had tonsillitis.

Note to self:
DO NOT let mom cut my hair [short], she doesn't know how to trim nothing.

June was wearily icy cold

I know it is winter and all, but does it have to be so icy cold that you need bomber jackets to keep you warm. I find it a struggle to wake up and even wash my face. Plain cold water feels sharps. Despite that I did go shopping, hang out with a new bunch of people who I met from Japanese language club, and watch a movie or two. I am keen on smart phones but haven't found one that has good battery, camera with flash included, doco editor that displays Chinese and Japanese. sigh. YouTube is interesting, I did not you can record adverts and upload online without fear of infringing copyright. hee hee.

April, May, ... 2007

I am having a blank mind in regards to opinions as I am hurting all over, ever since the back of my right foot made friends with uneven footpath, I then proceeded to have knee aches and lower back muscle ache, not long later my shoulder and neck ended up strained. I ate more N* asprin than I have ever had in the past. Several acupuncture appointments and many days knocked out by pain killers. Despite all that, when you have made promises to people, you smile through agony and be there in support of them. If I am not asleep I went to charitable BBQ socccer, b'day clubbling with mates, light shopping, and rent DVDs. Life is going well, I can't ask for perfection except the odd leeway. lol.

'Tuesday 24 Anzac eve' was my friend Mr.S b'day. We went clubbing for celebration. There was 3 segments of performance by unique drag queens of the night. One segment where we did wooing sounds loudly to hot guys on stage being judged for hotness. We lost in the prize draw - Pink concert tickets. We then nicked off to KFC for snack and zipped in a Taxi to crown for a bit of gamble. Rachelle put in $10 and won $80. Nice.

Reminder: Time to make appt for flu vaccination

End of March 2007

March 2007 was mostly spent following post dental surgery rules:
1]Bleeding occurs in the 1st 24/48hrs use cotton gauze to soak up the blood.
2]Take soluable pandol and Di-gesic pain killers
3]Use antiseptic mouth wash 3 times a day
4]Avoid ver hot/cold food and drinks
5]Eat soft food
6]Avoid vigorous exercise and minimize talking during this time.

After surgery the anaesthetic wore off, surge of pain rush to the left side of my face and my head throbs with pain. Took many soluable pandols. Nothing cann distract you from such pain. My cheek was very swollen. I mumble when i speak for the first 3 days. I survived on congee and mash potato as my staple meals, while Continental's instant soup was my snacks. Basically i mashed and slurp my food/medicine. I found it difficult to open my mouth any wider, brushing teeth was excruciating painful. The internal bits of my mouth were very sore. It hurts to yawn or look up [i had to bend my back to see stuff on walls].

I was pretty much sleep deprived. I would end up with fever. I was never too far from a bin in case of nausea and vomit caused by pandol and di-gesic's drowsiness. At times the pain is unbearable I usually won't fall asleep until 6am and or on a sunny day sleep only in the warmth of afternoon sunshine with my cat, Mimi.

After 3 dental surgery your gums are weaken to the state where you find it difficult to chomp on certain solid foods. My stitches are utmost important and needs to maintained to i avoided food that breaks in sharp pieces in my mouth. When you have wounds most foods feel like they are sharp.

Trouble is root grounded and human flawed 2007

October 2006 - February 2007
That period was filled with disputes/difference which i will not dwell, as long as that person follow through their promise our team has a fighting chance of keeping me "okay". I was informed i was "over instructing my TL", "defensive"(on the odd occasion), and "can't accept [so called] verbal criticism". Only to find out the TL had a pre-grudge against me for being me. Oh. Also my method of processing is too fast and wants me to slow down, so she can catch up on the 'why and how' bits in processing problems.

---------------------------- February was up and down yet 100% SERIOUS

My roof was badly leaking since December 2006 and damning my plaster board ceiling with rippling rings and cracks. I had to run around arranging it all with some assistance from SIS yet massive resistence from other family members who won't lift a finger in fixing this HUGE
issue. Very frustrating situation. By mid February 2007 was the roof problem properly addressed by a roof company [12/FEB/2007]. No more dripping sound above my head.

Around the same time [16/FEB/2007] my dental problem was escalated to a senior dentist and we found from close x-ray i have infection and bone loss occurring from 3 troublesome wisdom teeth. 2% on upper and lower jaw had bone corroded away. The "surgical exo bone removal"
procedure was imminently scheduled between Feb - Mar and possibly April for continous check up on the bone loss issue. I may have to face the fact of being toothless if don't have them surgically removed soon and to the extent of jaw reconstruction.

Mel in depress state.
