I've had vickychen.net for over...close to a decade (even before I study computer programming) and my updates are...mininum! Why? Just one word to describe me..."lazy". I should name mysel lazy-girl! About 2 years ago, I said I wanted to build my own blog, and waited waited and waited, still haven't done anything. After 2 years, most of my colleagues uses wordpress, and I was tempted to dive into but its decided not to; cuz I didn't want to change my hosting, nor really want to do any php work. So I was reading an article the other day, and spot blogengine.net and gave it a try. I love the girlgeek template; not cuz its pink, but cuz of the name, "girlgeek" ahah...I have to admit, I'm a total geek. So finally got this installed and running on my host, but several adjustments need to be done, e.g my picture, description not showing, cuz its not setup on the mp, comments not sending out emails etc. I think I'll wait till the next long weekend to look into this....that if I'm not heading to the States then.
Lately, I've been super busy! I haven't had any free time on the past 4 weekends. Its been birthdays and more birthdays or special ocassions. Just non-stop!. Weekdays at work, super super busy with projects...milestone due, issues arise, new functionalities added etc., so stressed! I just had lunch with a friend this afternoon. And this was part of our convo:
Miss A: "you must be stressed!"
Me: "why you say so?"
Miss A: "cuz you sound rude!"
Me: "????"
Miss A: "whenever you are stressed, your tone of voice is very rude"
Me: "really? I never noticed it, sorry"
I never notice my voice tone. I had to apologize to my colleagues for my rude tone LOL.
March 5, 2009 is my appointment at the US Embassy. I paid USD$131($173cdn)...holly molly, that's sooo expensive, and its not guaranteed that I'll get the visa. Aside from that, I had to get a prepaid Canada Post xpress mailer, and visa photos, and apt scheduling fee...it ended up costing me close to $200.00cdn for the entire application. I wonder how much longer I have to wait till I get my Canadian passport, then I won't have to get US visa to travel to the States.
I'm so tired today; mainly cuz I had a long day yesteday. As usual, I came late, around 11am and worked till 7pm(I usually work till 6pm) then rush to play badminton until 9:30pm; had dinner then rushed home to continue on my work till 1am. My eyes where so tired, omg, didn't even want to brush my teeth(but I did!). This morning, my alarm went off at 7:35am, sat up for barely 5secs then went right back to bed LOL....slept till 8:30am. Right now, I just wish I can go home and sleep or do yoga, but I can't
cuz its one of Fiona's bdate, and I can't miss it. Its not that I don't want to go; I do! but I'm just too tired, I doubt I can enjoy it much. I think this is the main reason why I'm so tired. I've been in and out of the office lately, surgeon's apointment, family doctor's apt, preparation for US Visa app, etc, meaning all those times out of the office, I needed to make up the lost hours, which means I had to stay at work later, and especially last and this week with all the deadlines, OT was needed. Thursday is the Visa apt day, which means I won't be able to work from home, therefore I have to come in early, since I have badmintong on Thursday night, which means today and tomorrow, I'll have to work longer hours to cover it. Well, fortunately, dinner doesn't start till 8:30pm, therefore I still have lots of time to do my work...but still, its time to get back to work.
