Serious coughing

Not feeling too good lately. Have been coughing for a whole week, and gets worse when I am trying to sleep. This is pretty annoying, and good to feel that it's slowly coming down to a stop. I still cough a lot, but only when I am trying to sleep. Having to wake up to a cough is not really a good start of the day. Hopefully, the coughing will stop by this weekend. I really want to sleep in peace...

A price to pay

I always talked about the actions of the past having consequences in the future. It happens everyday, and got my own arse kicked my own past actions. Good things come as frequent as the not so good ones. So being the stay-at-home boy during my college years (mostly due to the want to play games at home), I don't go out, or drive out as often. Without a good knowledge of the routes, I find myself having little choice when it comes to traveling. Now, as of today, my ex-colleagues are having a simple gathering at my old working place, and at the same time, I have to attend a job interview a couple of hours later, elsewhere. Supposed if I know the way from my old working place to the venue of the interview, I would have attended both, since the gathering and the interview are a good amount of hours apart, and I know that it is possible. Then comes the roadblock, my own incompetence on recognizing routes. I deserved it, so I need to make a change. Drive more often, and follow my dad out to the city as much as I can, while I still can afford to do so. No use complaining now, so I might as well wish myself luck for the interview.

Sore throat streak

Getting 3 sore throats in 2 months. Good thing that all I need is plenty of water, no medication required. Didn't know that my throat can be this sensitive. No more heaty food for me for the time being, especially not the fried ones. Hopefully, I won't get another one in the coming month......

*clears throat*

Last day at my first company

Apparently, my service to my first company comes to an end today, a seemingly coincidence that it's Friday the 13th. Woo-Hoo! Guess it's time to move on, and move away from all the bad memories, and keeping the good ones intact in the mind. I screw-up a little here and there, but it doesn't really matter now. Guess I will remember how I screwed up and make sure I don't repeat the same mistake twice.

Oh, well. Time to go, time to say my fare-thee-wells.

Sick and Tired (of geting sick)

Feeling slightly uncomfortable at the throat, I grumbled to myself. Hoping that it's not another sore throat, I lied to myself. "I have a bad immune system", I said to myself.

Gently rubbing at the front of my throat, I try to figure out why is there a second coming of a sore throat. It didn't take me long to put the blame on yesterday's lunch. Me and my colleagues celebrated my senior's birthday, by going out for a lunch at a food outlet, close to where we worked. Divided into two tables, each table has decided to order the set lunch for 6 to 7 people. One of my female colleagues was sitting at the table I am sitting at, and using the same cutlery to grab hold of the same food. Seems that she was recovering from a flu, and I got lucky.

*grabs head and pulls hair*
GAH!!!!!

Sleepless

Ah, one of the nights where I can't get myself into sleeping. I am not sure if it's the coffee, or sub-consciously not wanting myself to sleep, or the radio, or because I keep repeating the same question in my head "Why can't I sleep?". Getting laid-off sure doesn't feel nice. Now I need to look for another job. I want to thank my friends for being there for me. Guess it's just a bummer to get rejected. Hmm......

High

Sore throat got to me again. A cold might follow, but I hope not. The weather is very hot and hazy lately, and catching a cold under such circumstances would be ironic indeed. So, having been used to getting a few sore throats in a year, I grab for the cough syrup from the cabinet, and take the usual dosage. As expected, I got wobbly soon after, both in body and mind. Some would call it feeling "high". Well, I can't say I am addicted to it, but I like being "high", as does most of the drug addicts do. I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually like feeling helpless, in the sense of the state of mind, not in real life. I won't go to the extent of taking cough syrups just to get "high", but I think I have been unconsciously hoping for a sore throat, so I could take them. If not, I don't know how to explain the tendency of me getting sore throats every year, even though I take at least 2 liters of water everyday.

*cough* *cough*

Sleep

Who doesn't like sleep? I have currently found a few that says that sleep is a waste of time, because you are doing nothing. Technically speaking, your body, mind and soul are recovering from a day's (or in some case, a few days') work, so you are doing something, just not knowing it. Everyone loves sleeping for the same reason. Fatigue. Something is exhausted from you, and recovery must take place, to fill in what's missing. As for me, it's more often than not, the mind. I am only a man of thought, nothing more. Action takes place much too slowly, if not none at all, to make any real impact. Another problem with me is that I know what's holding me back, but I couldn't be bothered to solve it like other people do. And when that happens, I sleep...... This is the vicious cycle of my life...... Boy, this is depressing......

*ZzzzZzzzZzzz...

Scrounge

Seems that my little quest for cheap food has gone quite well. All I need now is an alliance, with my colleagues, to search for all that is good and cheap. Going through the alternative have never been this fun. Walking in the mall and looking at menus and prices. Time to get food samples! Still that little cretin scrounging for food. Ok, big little cretin.

*stomach grumbles*

Shit......

New Location

The current company that I am working for has shifted to a new location, and it happens to be right above a shopping mall. It saved me a lot of transportation fee, but now I have to worry about food expenses. Seems that there aren't any food stalls selling cheap food at walking distance, so it's like from the frying pan into the fire. There is always a balance to everything is so true at times, and I guess now I need to survey around for the cheapest food selling premises...... darn......

Milk as Laxative (II)

As written in the first milk as laxative article, I was trying to find out if milk really makes me poo in the morning if I drink it yesterday night. Turns out that it's for real. I took two packets of low-fat milk and had one hell of a morning the next day. And it smells like milk too, if you know what I mean. Guess there won't be anymore milk for the night, and now I finally understand why people take milk during their breakfast......

Old habits Die Hard

This morning, when I was walking to work, and as usual, there were plenty of people distributing fliers around the exit of the train station. I seldom have the want to receive any of those fliers, so I have this habit of making the gesture to refuse the offer of fliers. Then, this morning, there is a lady distributing fliers for post-graduates, and somehow, my reflexes works faster than my brain, and showed her the hand. After seconds of walking away, my brain started to recall what I saw on the flier, something about going for Masters and such, and I was interested at getting it, but I am already far away from the lady. So, with me being too lazy to bother, I continue walking to my office. Guessed I could have just take it and throw it away instead if I don't want it next time. Like I said, old habits die hard......

Milk as Laxative

I am not too sure why, but whenever I drink milk before I sleep, I get a tummy ache the next morning. I was trying to prove my theory, so I took more milk, and there were more excretions the next morning. Usually, I don't get the urge to shit until 10 AM, but when I started drinking milk before I sleep, I would need to use the toilet when I wake up the next day. Weird, but I never know myself for being lactose-intolerant before, and I don't think it's lactose-intolerance. Hmm... time for more experiments.

Multiply

"Multiply with Intel", "Multiply All You Can Do". These are some of the quotes used in the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor ads. I guess you should have guessed what's on my mind now, no? I won't deny the fact that I am as hot-blooded as any of the rest of the males in the world, so allow me to explain. When do humans "multiply", exactly? Does the word "reproduction" or "sex" comes to mind? I am not saying that I get aroused looking at Intel advertisements, please, I don't even think there is a name for people having sexual tendencies towards processors, but it sure gives me the wrong idea. Maybe it's just me, or is there anyone out there that has the same idea as me? Come on, give me a few hands, or comments in this case.

Insistence

As the male creature of the human species, I try to exercise my gentlemanliness(Yes, I am surprised too, that this word exists). Seeing a middle aged lady in the train having no place to lean against(she was standing, train was packed), and is standing right in front of me, so I offered to switch places with her, since I was leaning against the metallic wall.

She rejected my offer, and thanked me, so I nodded my head in response. Then there was this one minute pondering, about what had just happened. Seems like I need to improve on my gentlemanliness more. I could have insisted and give way to the lady, then only I could accept her thanks properly. Shrugging in my mind, I guess people are trying to be polite while I was being ignorant. Or was I? I would never know, but the next time I try to be kind, I need to insist that they accept it, unless they really don't want it. But then, I put myself in the lady's shoes (Not that I can really fit in them), and I would have accepted my offer anytime, without hesitation. I guess that's what held me back from insisting. Still trying to get rid the me being insensitive, so I hope to see a more gentlemanly version of me in the future. Or was I being too sensitive already?

*shakes head and shrugs*

First Project

As I was enthusiastic in the first things to come, I got my first project from the company that I am working for. Being a Java Game programmer, I was thrilled by the news. But the thrill went to a downwards slope when I was briefed. I am in charge of a pornographic project. So it seems that the headquarters from a foreign country agrees that sex sells, they decided to issue a porn slide show application and so happens that I was new, and I have no projects at hand, I got the job. I am not really complaining...... much, but being in the wrong place at the wrong time, I got myself free porn. Beats doing nothing at all, so it's back to sorting the pictures out for me. *snickers*
