if you haven't yet realised, that's a satellite pic of the tsunami as it happened. it's resized, so if you're interested to check out the full sized version, click here.
it really is terrible eh. but everyone's already talking about it so i shan't add on to the gloom already.

anyway, for those who know why, i may not be writing too much here anymore. i'll write, but not too much.
i'm starting to sound a little crazy, arent i ;)
where's everyone gone too anyway. no one ever comments here anymore. do leave comments, it's half of the pleasure derived from blogging.

well, the day's got better, most definitely, what with some turkey and log cake (courtesy of the boss- the nice one, not the jackass), some pizza and kfc (courtesy of various parents), and of course, very very nice turkey and fruitcake enjoyed wih the glass of wine (courtesy of the family). and not to mention the very, very nice chocs (courtesy of the pbb). oh even you too, jiet, for that 2-day-early, half-free-drink from you.thank you everyone who bothered for making what might have been the worst christmas ever, that little bit more bearable -big smile-.

and a merry christmas to everyone.gonna be a pretty boring christmas though, being in camp and all, but at least i've got good food waiting at home! note to all: the marriott hotel fruitcake is fantabulous, if slightly expensive. $25 for a nice chunk, which in all honesty is perfectly worth it to me. after a little bit of christmas shopping yesterday i'm put in a slightly better mood, and at least, working on christmas means i've no boss to irritate me every few minutes or so. (offers for food delivery are still very much welcome though)
am very much infatuated with amy lee now; her voice is stunning, really. while noticeable in most of evanescence's other songs, it was only after hearing hello that i really really fell in love with her voice. i'm prepared to send the song out to everyone on my msn list (yes all 2 of you)! or maybe just those who bother to talk to me (that would make it... hmm...).
so enjoy all your christmas turkeys, log cakes, fruitcakes, eggnog, candy canes, roast ham, cold cuts, gingerbread and whatnot. i'll be keeping myself content with chocolate-laced oatmeal. and i'll see you when you all get FAT!
man are the grapes sour over here or what?
haha but seriously though, have a great christmas people, and i'll be celebrating with yall this same time next year.

after a coupla meetings, the post new-year period doesnt look so rosy anymore. 3-6jan looks like a high stress period, so if you really want to piss me off, try sometime after that, please?in other news, the busted ankle's showing little signs of turning a nice grape-ish purple. but thankfully the colour only covers a quarter of my foot, so it can't be that bad, right?
and for some reason, i now feel like the heaviest man in the world. it's like standing up's a chore and i dont really feel like doing anything. at all. this must be how sumo wrestlers feel like. or maybe like certain other people who dont sit down because standing up again would be too much of a chore. it's like my body decided to switch itself off without telling anyone. i think the body's starting to rebel against all the oatmeal consumption.
and hey, you learn new things about people everyday! (not always good things, of course.)

well i've been stocking up on the music since my computer crashed about 2 weeks ago, and i'm glad to announce that today i cross the 2000 song (11.5gb to you, mistah!) mark. i astound even myself, really. i'm not stopping, of course, more are pouring in as you speak. i certainly cannot imagine life next year, when bit torrent goes officially illegal. (of course, not ALL of my songs are 'illegally' obtained... only about 75%. heh.)and so CAAS sends me a letter out of the blue, telling me that i'm an exceptional youth who is a leader in my chosen field and that i've been highlighted as a promising candidate with an excellent academic track record and that i should consider a career with them. right. just like the other 20492 people who they send letters out to. really, a waste of paper.
and after soccer today, i have another 3 joints which seem a little looser than before. when i reach 50, i'll no longer be walking very well, i'm quite sure of that. I'm really having second thoughts about playing competitive sports (especially rugby) in uni. what's it all worth, really?
so as new year's eve nears, who's already made plans?
and as christmas nears, who wants to be really really really nice and deliver some turkey/fruitcake/log cake/eggnog/presents to me in camp? you will get in return instant adoration and a really good puppydog eye imitation too. no, really!

meat, glorious meat.beef, lamp chops and chicken.
salmon, dory and squid.
fish, but still meat just like mutton.
(to the tune of food, glorious food, just in case you wondered.)
first buffet in a long time. expensive, but worthwhile.
and for some reason i continue to shrink.

am i setting myself up for disappointment...?

and the lesson of the day, folks?
interval training- God's way of telling you that slow and steady not only wins the race, it's much less painful too.

after our daily morning meeting (which, by the way, also pissed the crap out of me), my boss had lots of work to do. however, now all of us ('us' being those under him) have more work to do, and he's playing ping pong.immensely. cheesed. off.

anyway, after the not-quite lunch and dinner (consisting totally of the balanced diet of icecream and chocolate) of yesterday, the supper today, and this nice little tupperware that now sits beside me, my healthy life is in tatters. not that i mind, really, i kinda forgot how sugar tasted like. dear miss PBB, if i go down, you're going with me! heh.
and anyway at this sorry excuse for a workplace, i'm trying to get down to work, which really is quite an unusual occurrance. countless late nights have taken their toll and the eyebags are all ready to stretch down to the floor. well, you wonder, if i don't really spend my nights doing work, then why the hell am i sleeping so late then? beats me. masochism is hard to explain.
and oddly, my hand seems to have taken a free rein on itself. it keeps reaching over for that tupperware...

so who still wonders where all my money goes?
sigh. at least i enjoy them. heh.
and for those who still bother to frequent this cobwebby place, the main thing that's happened recently's been the computer crash, which wiped out everything i had. so now i'm starting all over again. perhaps that was the catalyst for all this new music. i've now got more sinatra than ever, and man do i enjoy his music (trini, you really should give him a try).
well that aside, it's almost christmas! but guess who's in camp for the whole of christmas (24th-26th!)? at least i get new year's eve out.
this week's been tiring, to say the least. lots to do at work. but the next few week's gonna get better; never thought i'd say it, but these 2 years really have passed by quickly. learnt a lot, changed a lot. whether for better or for worse, not for me to judge.
anyway i don't think i'll be writing much here in the near future, don't really have much on my mind (nothing of real interest anyway). however though, if my lips become numb after i remove my wisdoms, i'll remember to tell you.
