Will be going back to Kuala Kangsar (my hometown) for Chinese New Year later at 6pm MYT. I won’t be updating much for the next week as I foresee that I’ll be really busy especially on the first few days of Chinese New Year :).

Will post updates and photographs once I get back on 5 Febuary ;).

Other than that, today’s a busy day as I sort through all the bills and finances. Getting a new set of rechargeable batteries later, hopefully they will work on my digital camera or I’ll have myself stuck with the not-so-environmentally-friendly alkalines :p.

Squee~ I just won SEB 159, Maharaja Night Hi-NRG Revolution Vol. 14 & 15 and SUPER EURO GROOVE. On top of my previous winnings, that means 6 CDs for this month! Not to mention that this time round I’m going to have some newer Eurobeat releases this time round (instead of getting stuck at around the 1995 Eurobeat era).

I’m just so excited about this! 😄

Feeling as if I have lost direction: Unable to proceed, yet unable to turn back either. Mixed signals, jumbled up information everywhere… As if I have no idea what’s going on around me.

Is it the changes around me that I’m unaware of? Or is it an illusion of my creation? Or is it that I see things differently nowadays…?

A very confused mind indeed… that I really don’t know what shall I do next. x_x||

- Mixed signals: Is it your reality or my own fantasy? -

Hmm… After I saw the sleek Canon Powershot S80, I was tempted to buy a new digital camera. But when the reality check steps in, the idea of actually getting one is more than a fantasy than reality at this point of time. But since I’m in the mood, I did some window shopping online and check what alternatives that I had.

And after some research, here’s my top 5 6 camera wish list (for January 2006):

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3 Casio Exilim EX-P505 Canon Powershot S80 Kodak DX 7590 Pentax Optio 750Z Canon Powershot A620

My current priority is definitely solid camera build, enough custom settings to fiddle around, solid picture quality (especially under low-light conditions), image stabilizing feature (I got jerky hands, mind you), unlimited movie duration with 30fps, SD …

Just one of those really confusing days that I find myself dumbfounded in many aspects. Nothing major happening actually, but the events today just caught me off guard today that I felt as if a big star has fallen on my head and I find myself spinning in circles (Hmmm… FF7 Confuse spell?).

Gah! Just feeling so confused that I don’t know what’s happening with me now X_X||.

It’s all about small things that seems big for these two days. OK, probably a big thing that seems small (to me) for yesterday :p.

For yesterday, it’s really a big thing as the whole department staff is as busy as a bee handling the programming competition public lecture and presentation night (it’s a prize giving ceremony with dinner at a very classy restaurant). Really brought memories as I have attended twice, but this time round I’m working instead of the one doing the receiving 😛 (i.e. lectures, dinner and prizes).

The main highlights of the day aren’t the event itself, but what happens during it. Flashing back, I went to Genting Highland with Sze Hau and his two friends, Siao Yen and Wai Kiat (I wonder whether the spelling …

The thing I’d never expect is that my antibiotics pills are the types that would make me drowsy. Which pretty much equates to a very, very sluggish day for me. Glad the boss not around today.

And thank god I have only one left, and that’s for tomorrow morning. Be done and begone!

The sore throat would probably need some time to heal though :(.

Let’s see… two gold plastics on my hand… emblemed with the internationally known V & M respectively.

The thing that we all know them by the name of “credit cards”.

Scary thought if I broke myself loose in eBay with these numbers on hand now @_@… or any other shop that I fancy, for that matter.

Hmmm…

Apparently, opposing to popular belief, Coke may not be an OK drink during sickness. Apparently when the flu begins, I have that gassy sensation for the whole day that I have to burp a lot to get the air out, or that I feel like an inflated balloon which never bursts. And that continues for hours until I force myself to throw up. After that the gassy problem stopped and that I noticed that some chemical reaction had happened within my stomach which will generate gas (carbon dioxide, probably?). That reminds me of a very cool experiment in high school, the only difference is that it’s not fun when the chemical reaction happens inside me.

I’m starting to recover now, after getting a flu shot from the doctor. Notes to self: Although some …

For those concerned, I had a flu and not feeling energetic these three days.

Hoping for a fast recovery and no blood test required.
