Mitsubishi Mirage Max

sold my car (Max) for a reasonable price yesterday night. technically, it was my 2nd car. However, it was my 1st reliable car, and it did serve me well over the past year. Can't really bear to let it go when I finally done the deal. on the other hand, I was hoping someone would get it for me quick because the registration is expiring soon at the end of the month.

I guess time will 'heal' how I feel for the car. It was really good, reliable would always be the word to use for Max. Wollongong trips, site visits, trips to nowhere. I can't explain how I'm feeling. I can't even explain why I'm feeling like this. Guess as Mei Ching says, money sometimes can't buy everything. At least, I understand how does it feel.

Sold it to a owner living just 5 minutes away from me. donno whether isit a good thing or not. Seems like someone will drive sensibly with Max. Speaking about this, her last car got written off. hmmmm... but I'm comfortable letting the car go with her. There are some small little things to regret before/during/after the transaction (work late, stamp duty etc.).

anyway, gotta sell the old car before I get a new one. Now that I've been a seller, is time to be a buyer. Hopefully, no regrets for this time and to make the right decisions, together.

feeling not the best at the moment, and work did not make it better. Until the new car arrives, is buses and trains for us.

what a week.. full on at work. too many projects. 2 of my collegues are on leave, clients pushy.. luckily, bosses help out quite a bit. but still, they are bosses, always think that their stuffs are the most urgent. still need to learn the right way of speaking to clients etc. maybe i'm just not familiar with the 'right' technical thing to say. experience and learn.

been raining the whole of Friday and Saturday. So as you can imagine, nothing much on. Decided to go shopping and keep ourselves indoor. Realise that thats what others is pretty much doing as well. Traffic jam around the shopping centre, car parks jam, donkeys taking heaps of time parking, stuffing the traffic out to the car park access. In the shopping centre, humans everywhere, can't even walk without someone right next to you. arghz.. and everything just pisses me off.

realise that's quite a few plans that needs to be fulfil at this stage of my life. or rather OUR life. Denise and I. but time is just running fast away. chop chop. everyday just seems to zoom past. and before you know it, Christmas is here!

hope to sell my car soon. so far, no takers. *prays.

another week before my collegues come back from leave. another week of reporting. shouldnt be as hectic as last week. fingers crossed.. and also for good weather.

cheers everyone.

*everything happens for a reason, it may take you one step forward or one step back depending on the choices made*

August 2008

almost one month since I last blogged..

not much has happened. loads of projects waiting for me to complete, which means after report after report. But I still can managed, the load is just right. Maybe thats the working culture here. everyone helps each other out. But I cant judge because I haven been working back in Singapore. Maybe you guys can tell me... =)

some stuffs did happened at home.. and also at work. some suffered, some got hurt, some emerged victorious. but the summary is, the issues showed us the truth of each and everyone and how him or her shows her strength or weakness. as my bro says, Life only makes us stronger.

same thing can be said be about me, I've been trying to sell my car and I must say, I'm not doing a good job, not cut out to do sales.. but nevertheless, i hope this gives me the opportunity to learn about this trade.

oh yeah, who can forget Olympics > some of the memories

- great opening ceremony, impressive performance, shows the world the power of having a huge huge population;

- congrats to the Team Singapore who won a table tennis silver against the mighty Chinese. Should I mention that the whole table tennis team are from China. still they get the money. put Singapore on the map;

- Stephanie Rice - glamour swimmer from Australia > being called Special Fried Rice in China;

- Michael Phelps - 8 gold medals out of 8 events. What does defeat or even silver taste like? Never tried Before;

- Germany weightlifter who won gold and the world record and dedicated the win to his wife who passed away in a car crash last year > goose bumps whenever i see the video;

- The Jamaican sprinters.. wowz!

- Takewando sportsman from Cuba kicked a ref.. disgraceful > ought to be ban for life

all right, i think thats it for August.

Take care guys and enjoy Spring!

2nd Week July

supposed to be a weekly entry for updates..

missed out on last week. nothing much as well actually. work was good.. boss was on holidays..

this week.. World Youth Day.. for those who doesnt know what is the day or rather the week is about, let me fill you in.

World Youth Day means:

-The Pope is coming!

-Traffic is going to be real bad cos they are closing several roads in the city from 10am to 12 midnight for pilgrims from around the world to have a celebration

-Public are encouraged to leave their car at home and take the public transport. With an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 (that's what they estimated or rather over-estimated) tourists from around the world.. public transport will be stuffed up as well.

- it is going to be a inconvenient week with regards to travelling around Sydney.

I'm gonna set a different target/change my goal for the later part of the year. Which means saving up more money and spending it on something useful, not just on fun, food and petrol.

To those who haven not watched Cloverfield.. Don't watch it..

To those who have yet to watch Hancock.. recommended!

The Dark Knight will be another one I will be watching.. looks good.

Weather is pretty cold over here.. Chilling will be the word for description.

Learning a program call Paramics for the last 2 weeks, traffic modelling program. So far, pretty interesting setting up the network, we'll see once the matric calibration process comes in.

take care everyone, especially my family members! all of you, please take care of urself!
