Working days sanny @ 10:40 PM


I've not been posting because of two reasons:

1. My beloved old lifebook (laptop computer)'s screen had gone kaput. Hence I've not been able to access my old files in the hard disk drive. Fortunately, the engineers at my workplace had agreed to lend me a casing so I can transfer the files to another computer..hoho...by the way, I'm thinking whether or not to replace the laptop screen...I'm not even sure if it's gone out of production or not...if the Japan factory had stopped manufacturing it, there's nothing that can be salved for my lappie, unless the problem lies not with the LCD, which I doubt so.
*Update: The service support ppl suggested it might be an inverter problem so I shd send it in for checking, free of charge of course! woohoo. The lifebook that Niki has her eyes on's super ex. Click for Virtual Tour

2. I've started work! True, I haven't been given anything much/too tiring really, just that I'm not allowed to use the lifebook at work for personal purposes and once I get home I normally am too lazy to go near the computer anymore...hoho...by the way, I will only stay in one department for about 1 month before my 'specialisation' field is decided...'cos the nature of my job is supposedly a 'grooming process'...the pressure is on the four of us (there are three others like me, and they seem so...eh...skilled? ahahahha...I feel like a total greenhorn) to get a first-hand, albeit not an in-depth one, knowledge of core departments and propose improvements in workflow and profits...so stressed!

By the way, it takes me around 10 to 15 minutes to walk to work so I can afford to dilly-dally in the morning...but I realise it's a bad habit. Anyway, one of the newcomers got driven here at about 730 am every morning 'cos her husband's got to work at 830, so he drops her off early everyday (a pretty girl, only a year older than me! By the way quite a lot of the girls in the office are pretty and petite (I feel like Shingo Mama now...gleghh)...and amazingly, everyone can speak Chinese! Even the Indians and Malays...they can even speak Cantonese...at least those that I know of)...we suggested that she could use the OSIM massage chair at her own discretion (because if you use it while other people are around it's a bit...weird, isn't it?) Hmm...maybe I should come early and surf the net for a while (some sites like email servers are blocked though, except for the access point at the pantry).

Oh, my handphone's (a hand-me-down from Mar) spoilt again. The person on the other line's unable to hear me; and this happening at a time when I need to book an appointment with Dr Poon because my retainer wiring is loose...I guess I could make prank calls...they couldn't hear me...bwahahahaha...somebody please sponsor me a mobile phone...I've used up my dosh on clothes and am intending to splurge on shoes...ackk...so frivolous...anyway, the thing I should really be considering is a new laptop. I initially wanted to buy iBook, but obviously after the impending launch of the Lifebook N-Series I changed my mind, because (it'll be launched next month here)

* It can double up as a normal TV (choose from the 15 inch or 17 inch screen model) , complete with remote control
* It can RECORD TV programmes (do you know what this means, Mar? I can record MTV Whatever Things! Oh, imagine if I was living in Japan...I'd burn loads and loads of DVD...wakakakakka...)
* It has a max hard disk capacity of about 200 or 300 GB...meaning 1 whole week's worth of TV programmes non-stop. *the couch potato in me salivates*

Only problem is...the price (plus it's kinda heavy but I'm using it as a desktop replacement anyway). So much for hankerings. Donations pleasee......anything mentah will do. Mar, if you want me to record Whatever Things, hurry deposit money to me. Hahahaha.
