Woohoo! Finally finished that project that I was assigned... and my project lead was pretty satisfied with it. I hope it was useful manz... Sense of satisfaction, but I must be determined to finish my next task a little faster. Really can't stand my level of efficiency now. Somehow, I think I'm still not up to speed yet. Other people seem to be able to finish their task pretty quick. Oh well... I guess, as I get more familiar with the system, and the way of doing things, I'd finish harder task faster. Right now, everything I'm assigned to, I have to go study everything from the bottom, as well as the skills required... and then tackle the assignment, which is probably why I take so long to finish a task, as compared to another more experienced person. Oh well... probably by the time I reach their standard, I should get a pay raise. Then again, comparing my wages to the time I take to finish an assignment, that assignment really looks costly manz. Paying a few grand for a report? That really doesn't sound like a good deal. Oh well... I guess it's just an investment, so that when I finally understood the system better, I'd be able to contribute more useful stuff at the same cost... hopefully.

On a similar note, I just had a meeting today with some companies demonstrating the capabilities of their special remotes. Was pretty in awe with it actually, not totally, but enough to have a pretty good impression. When the meeting was dismissed, a bunch of us were talking about it, and two of my colleagues were saying how bad that was, and was not as useful for our purpose. They could even provide cheaper alternatives to achieve similar results. That is what I call ginger is still spicier when it's old. Looks like there's much for me to learn. My respects for old folks.

Talking about old folks, it makes me feel real old when I recall the days when I had to stay up all night or wake up early (as in 4am) to finish hw or mug for exams when I was in sec sch or JC. That seems sooo long ago. Well, if you're wondering what made me reminisce about this past, it's the national anthem played on 93.3 at 6am everyday. And why was I up at 6am? I'm not! It's 2pm over here, and I'm just back after lunch, working. So I listened to the morning 93.3 every single work day. It is really quite interesting, because I don't normally listen to morning programs on 93.3 due to obvious reasons like school. It's the transition from dawn to day that I find interesting. The program was so peaceful before 7am, before the DJs come in. Then it slowly got busier, with the DJs announcing the weather, the traffic conditions and the news every few mins. I really could feel that bustling atmosphere as my fellow countrymen in Singapore wakes up to a new day. That was nostalgic and homely.

And I wan to watch 长江七号, 功夫灌篮, 死亡笔记3 and Ah long pte ltd!!! Why am I in US manz? arrgh! I hear that every single day on 933 loh, which makes me even more want to watch them. Oh well...
