Great! Its time to recount my past week and half at new job.  Officially started on Jun 11, 2007. On the first day, my desktop crashed so many times. It's supposed to be one of those Acer 2x Duo Core thingy, but still crashed, and every time it crashes, it pops up an error with ATI blah blah blah. IT guy spent 4+hrs trying to fix it.  Sigh...after that, I went thru 4+hrs of training....so tiring.  I got my first project on my 2nd day, but it was pure html, css and js.  Upto now, I've worked on 4 projects already, and this is just my 2nd week.  Since my desktop had problems, they had to take it back to the store to have it repaired.  Right now, I'm work on this IBM T41 laptop.....so slow    I totally forgot what I've done last Wed, Thu and Friday.  I remember last Friday, they had a surprised birthdate party for another coworker and one of the girl made the cake my PM can make cakes.  What else?  The whole week was boring as hell.  The only entertainment was from my ex-coworker...we sms each other as if we were on msn   I think I went on msn last Thu, can't remember.  Everyday (except Friday) seems the same to me.  Worked Sat and Sun   its been my 3rd week working 7d/wk.  When can I have some time off???  Sat night was great, I got to play MJ till 3am...but next day sucked, since I had a large coffee, yet was still super sleepy.

I stil can't believe today is Friday.  This week seems to have passed by so fast.  The last thing I recall was Monday morning, and now its Friday...I only have couple hours to go hooray

I got so much to do today after work.  I'll have to rush to the bank, for the meeting with an investment rep, and then I'll have dinner with my dental office coworker.  Yeah, its Tracy's birthdate.  We are going to dine at "Golden Horse"...its one of my favorite HK steak houses .  Tomorrow's gonna be a short day, since Dr. Hui is going to L.A.  As far as I know, his last apt is around 3pm, then, as usual, we'll go for lunch, and I'll drive him to airport.  I'll end up dropping him off by 6ish and then I'll go with Fiona to Taste of Asia...lots of food, music, walk and fun ...hmmm... just wondering if Fiona is coming tonight for dinner.

I've haven't done much at work today.  I've fix small things here and there and then talking to ex coworkers...and repeating and repeating this song of Sammi.  Its an old song....給最傷心的人, it brings back so many memories.  I just noticed that whenever you find a song that you like, it somehow resembles you.  I really like this song.  Every time I listen to it, I feel like crying.  It reminds me of the happiest times and the saddest time.  He's was my first crash; my idol; my want to be; He was the reason for my career.  He resembles so much in my memories; but now, he's just another guy.  I regret for not letting him know what I felt then.  I regret for not asking.  I regret for giving up.  I remember once, I was at work; he called me and I just told him that I had cravings for suhi; He got me sushi.  We used to be so crazy on the streets, kicking each other.  We used to be so childish and picked on each others' food.  The fun time we had; we almost turned his dad's restaurant over.  He used to be there when I was heart-broken and played badminton with me, knowing that I sucked at it.  All these belong to the past.  They are all part of my momory; part of my regretful past; the only thing I've ever regretted on my life.  I wonder...is he still mad at me???  If I did something that really hurted him, I'm willing to apologize.  If I could turn the time back, I would have been very straight forward.  I would have apologized then.  I don't know why I'm talking about him again.  Its because of this song?  Its because of Him?  Its a bit of both..I guess.  After the chat with him, everything just reminded me of my past.  He reminded me of him.  He was an IT guy too.  He used to fix my computers and used to teach and talk to me so much about cars too.  They are so alike.  I kinda feel down now, after I've been so straight forward with him.  But I just wanted to be honest with him.  He's one of the greatest guy I've ever met..actually, I could say, he's the best.  He's got so many chances out there.  Sometimes I think, if I could change something in live, I'd choose to turn back the time; or at least choose not to be borned that early...hahaha...life is so ironic....and so I am.

Its exactly a week since I left my previous job.  New job is great. Colleagues are great too.  Yesterday, they had a surprised birthdate party for another colleague, on of the girl made the cake herself....omg she's so good at it.  I'm getting a bit used to this new place now, but I still miss my old coworkers.  I miss the walk to timmys with my old coworkers, joking around, talking about others, sharing food, annoying others, taking breaks together, driving my coworker's ET, shooting pool, D&B, flirting, working, having fun etc.....I miss all that.  At this new job, I still haven't found anyone who I could do the same thing as my old coworkers

My senior is a super guy; he's a genius; he knows all languages and he still goes to school.....cuz of him, I'm thinking in going back to school now.  I feel I lack the knowledge to so many stuff.  I'll wait till everything settles and then I'm applying to either Ryerson or UT.  These are the upcoming things:
-new job probation (3mths)
-build my own blog
-get my own condo/house
-back to school for my degree
-trade my m6 to a standard car (preferably an A3 or Cooper S)

I just noticed that I haven't had vacation for soooo long...too long that I can't even remember exactly how long.  Sigh.....I'd my vacation booked for July, but out of a sudden, new opportunity showed up, and I decided to take the offer.  Now, I'll have to wait for another year till I can request for vacation...and the max I can take is 2 weeks   I need longer than that if I plan to visit Asia.  Well, that's not even an issue now, since I'm not even entitled to the 2 weeks yet.

I really need to start building my blog...or at least start designing/structuring it....xanga, friendster, facebook are good, but I want to get my own.  Besides, I need to practice my programming skills.  I miss it so much.  On my new job, all I get to do is js, css, html etc...I need to do more functional stuff, and creating my own program leads me to that.  I've made up my mind, I'll stick to .net technologies.  PHP and perl are great languages, but I'm so comfortable with .net, I'll stick to it and build my career based on it.  Ajax is a cool technology, therefore I need to improve my js skills as well.  Sigh, so many stuff to do, but yet not enough time to do them all 24hrs is never enough for me.

I'm really gone now...really really gone...donno why but I feel an emptiness inside of me...I'll miss some people.
This 1.5 years at this company has given me so much.  One of them, a very good friend who guided me and taught me so much.  Kinda of my senior...well, actually, yeah, my senior.  I've learned so much from him.  I donno how to express it in words, but I really really appreciated his help.  Another one, a great girl!  She's helped me thru my most difficult times in my life.  Without her support, I wouldn't be here anymore.  Thank you.  She's actually my best friend's gf now   Another good friend....hm...a good friend??  yeah, let's call him a good friend.  He's showed me so much...soooo much.  Most of the stuff are about cars    He's good with them.  Anything, any question you've got about cars, he can answer you.  I admire him.  He's a great person; a great guy; a great friend; he's got a great personality; he deserves the best!  I enjoyed so much the time with him; he's given me so much fun time haha.....but sometimes he's just sooooooooo........annoying.  He entertained me when I'm bored, made fun of me and taught me to drive a real car   that was awesome!  Overall, the friends I've met at this job are more than great.  I love them all and really....sincere...Thank you and love you  guys and I'll miss you.

Today is my last day of work...which means a start on a new stage in my career.  I'll miss these people so much....some of them   I still have 1 more hour to go and then I'm gone.  Wow, I'm so excited, yet afraid!  Excited, cus I'm working on a bigger company, will be making new friends, learning new stuff....afraid...afraid of not able to handle the workload...but I'll try my best   Monday will be a new chapter in my life.  I'm looking forward to it.  I've met not so many, but very good friends here.  They've helped me thru my bad times....really bad times...they lifted me up...entertained me....taught me a lot of stuff...taught me how to drive a stickshift car, how to race..how to slack off...stumble...how to be aware of others and much more...I really appreciate them.
