A end of year post...

First time i am trying out one of these...Trying to do a recap of this year, which i dun really have a vague idea of what's actually happening all these time...Be warned, it's going to be a rather "ME" kind of post.

My brain have been taking a vacation for as long as i remember. Ever since i went back to the school to work from oct 05', it seems that 06' disappeared without any thought on my part. As like the show, "Click".

Beginning of 07', had a school relocation, an event which actually lasted for weeks. Definitely not my choice of creating work to do. Time definitely flies when work comes in a huge bunch. Was too busy trying to sort things out at work, as in what's supposed to be where, making sure that every computer equipment is where it should(working condition, of coz). Amidst having to deal with user problem, and the usual application hiccups. Personally wise, was starting to take charge of the family payments. Making the house my problem, taking care of utilities, etc etc. One thing off my mum's burden i guess. But what took me so long...?i wonder. Financial wise, started a plan to save, making it work somehow or rather.

After which, was rather busy with setting up of the labs. In which, my supervisor dropped a bomb on us, my colleague(WT) and me. Somehow, he bought 20 iMacs. Most probably, that was his intention at the start. One lucky thing is that it's after my reservist on Mar, at least i dun have to worry about it until the damn reservist is over. i dun have a thing against reservist, just that i prefer to stay at work, at least i know that i am doing something meaningful(in the scheme of things).

After mid june, got another shocking news. That my colleague, WT, is going for full time further studies. I think, for his sake, that's for the best. No point staying at a job which have not much advancement prospects. For the 1st job experience, maybe. But then, further than that, better not. Well, for that time, if i can just give an excuse for myself, is that i am working on my family finances, and seriously din think of changing job yet. With no savings in my bank, i dun really like to take chances. It's a rather lousy excuse, even me myself think so. I had this 'want' to go for further studies before, but well, just couldn't figure out how to have an income while studying. Especially with the pay that i am getting now. Saving $600 per month for the studies will be going to take a whole damn lot out of me.

After which, came the new colleague which is currently still sort of around..?(Most of the time, not much users know of him at all.) Well, i dunno what to really say about him. The long and the short of it, he's not really technically inclined. He's more inclined in design, picture editing. Other than that, hmmmm... He's the type of person who's the center of parties, i guess.

p.s. can't think of anything yet to add, will edit when IT pops up?
