ding-a-ling-a-ling...

Ok, ok so the holiday weeks are over and its back into full fledged work AGAIN.

The first thing that appeared this week was the Blackberry. Oh yesh. And just as they predicted, after about a day of usage, i was ready to dump it.

MAIL. TONS OF IT.

POURING OUT OF THAT GODDAMN THING. And yeah, after a while, u really feel that walking into a tunnel to block out the signal. The only upside to this is that my scheduled lesson for this week was CANCELLED.

Here's the lowdown. Each and every engineer in the company is required to conduct a training lesson for the technicians, regardless of how STUPID he is. I didnt prepare mine. And i was rushing thru it like a madman, when Lai Heng dropped the bomb.

"No need."

Excellent. I deleted it. Straight. Even emptied my recycle bin.

We have a new addition to the project, Faizal Rahmat. He will replace the reluctant Ah Heng, who was ready to throw in the resignation letters if he was forced into this. He said that he needs time to be with his children now, and this project will compromise that. Totally respectable. And i loved how he was dead serious about it.

"You have to dedicate time to this project."

"Then liddat I resign lo."

And the boss thought he was kidding. Until he repeated it. Again and again and again. Then he was taken seriously. Amazingly, his persistence won. Boss withdrew him from MBS and threw Faizal in. Poor Faizal. It sux to be the last member to get in.

Spent most the day playing with the blackberry, adding names to the address book and changing all the gay-ass ringtones. I think i'll even buy a Micro SD card so i can put some songs into it.

Then i can enjoy looking serious.

Song of the day is "Gotta Find You" by Shane Gray... I KNEW it sounded familiar. The song is good, eventhough the movie Camp Rock is lamer than a crippled kangaroo with osteoperosis.
