Snippety snippets

Just sharing some snippets on what's been happening and what I've been up to lately.
  • I am head over heels hooked on this song by Marit Larsen called If A Song Could Get Me You. It's cute and everything. *Here it is, here it goes, I could try rock n roll, change your life, forever too, if a song could get me you*
  • The front end system that the team and I have been working on for the past 6 months has finally gone live on 16 April 2009. Hurdle no. 1 has been crossed, the next major hurdle is next Saturday. Wish us luck!
  • It's American Idol fever all over again. I'm totally loving Adam Lambert (he is so hot but my dad refers to him as 'pondan' coz maybe due to his nail polish) and Matt Giraud (thank goodness the judges saved him). Well I like Kris Allen too but more an on-off thingy.
  • I've been farming a lot on Facebook. I wasn't much of a facebook fan, I never go in to update anything. Now I go in almost everyday but the only reason is to play Farm Town and occasionally Restaurant City.
  • I haven't filed my income tax yet. :( Procrastination is taking over, man! I really gotta get finished by end of this weekend.
  • I've been eating hell of a lot for the past 2 weeks, so naturally I'm afraid to weigh myself but after much dilly dally, I weighed.. and I just found out that I went down 2 freaking KG! Wooo hoooo! Being stressed sometimes ain't so bad after all...
  • I'm very happy that Manchester United's Champions League dream is still alive for now. Btw, I miss Owen Hargreaves so much...where is he???
  • Starting to get a little hooked on Mario Kart on Wii. I guess I get hooked on anything as long as I start winning and I get to crash into others in the process.. and btw Wii tennis is fun. I'm going to try the Sims on Wii once my project has officially gone live. It really feels like exams, you can't really enjoy anything until it's over and passed.
  • True Blood series on Cinemax. One word - AWESOME! If you like vampire stories, this is a good one to watch. It's not overly scary so it suits my lack-of-guts persona and it's intriguing in certain ways.
  • Time to go hang my clothes to dry...cheers!

Typical Sunday

My favourite part of the day is the morning. At the moment when the sun is just rising and the coolness of the night still lingers in the air. But mornings go by too fast. Before you know it, it's high noon and the heat is unbearable. For some reason, Sundays feel excruciatingly depressing eventhough tomorrow I won't be working as my office is having a shutdown, but it still feels like the typical Sunday. By the time it hits 4 o'clock, everything gets very gloomy.
I'm not looking forward to tomorrow whether I work or not. I may not be physically working but all I can think about is work. All I can think about is SAP, attendance, job schedules, interfaces bla bla bla as I see things spinning out of control. I'm almost at the tipping edge where my confidence level is at the lowest. Actually, things are not as bad at work as the way I put it (I exaggerate, that's all I do) but I cannot help feeling this panic washing over me that something would go wrong. It's a big deal. This month is a huge deal. It's either do or die the way I see it. I don't feel like I even have time to really sit down and focus on getting my side of things ready when there are so many distractions.
And then ...I really hate Sundays.
I hope it rains tomorrow. I just wish for a cooling day where I can relax and maybe get my thoughts together and really really figure out how I'm going to make the best use of this final days leading into *shudder* go-live. A big part of me really absolutely totally want this thing to go-live. I feel so ready to celebrate, throw the dinosaur out the window and feel that sense of achievement I've been missing for so long. I hope it comes true. And now we're back to the typical depressing Sunday afternoons. I hate Sundays...and I just heard thunder.
