I've been in this project for 2 years already. Things just go on and on until it's becoming meaningless. Endless codings, endless logic, endless documentation, endless dealing with ...... {censored} users. The nice and competent ones are around, everybody would prefer them, but dealings with them are mostly short and simple, straight to the point, straightforward, not much hassle. Instead, the {censored} ones are the one that take up most of your time and requires more effort, gives you more headache, and in some cases, heartache.
Why can't I be more like people in my dad's generation? Stay in a job for almost their whole life, doing almost the same thing for years, face the same group of people for ages, and no complaints. Make things a lot easier this way. Don't have to think so much.
Do something I have passion in, they say. If I get a hundred dollars for every bowl of beef noodle I eat, you think I'll still be working here? If I get money for every miles I chalk up on my bike, you think I would rather face the computer 10 hours everyday?
Things I'm passionate about, needs money, not generates them.

2nd week of work in Manila. Rice with crab meat, very rich and I'm sure sinful It sucks! One of the national pasttimes here is Karaoke. Locally known as Videoke. Every pinoy I've met so far love to sing. They acknowledge most of them are not good singers. But they like the idea of friends or families getting together to sing, and to laugh at each other, generally having a good time together. So, in Philipinnes, instead of seeing those kiosks for taking photos or arcade games, you will also see booths for videoke. Choose your songs, slot in coins, and sing away! Their local "taxi" This....is a view of one of the firm's office in Manila. They have a few offices, but this one is where I'm posted to. Yes, it doesn't look completed. Yes, there're people inside working already. I asked the locals, "has this building been issued Certificate Fit for Occupation?". They look puzzled "what's that?". This i...
Man...i had the most unpleasant experience (so far) last night with Bertha. Went to Plaza Singapura for the 1st time with it. Going up the car park, no problem, no need to pay, can go thru the gap. Looking for a parking space, no problem. Went for dinner, buuurpp. Went shopping for toiletries, groceris, see see look look, shiok. Went back to the bike to go home, bike still there, no twisted soul jealous of it, no inadequately-trained car drivers accidentally backed into it or grazed it. Put my stuff in the panniers, put on helmet, start the engine, and vrooom i go. Go down level by level until the exit where the ticket scanner is. Oooppss!! BIIG PROBLEM. There're two lanes. I was too fast going into the right lane. Saw there's no gap between the barrier for bikes to go thru. Look around, saw a sign "Motorcycles keep LEFT"! Dammit, only the left lane has the gap. There's a concrete barrier btwn left and right lane. And I'm on a downslope. Stop the engine, get d...
