Update

With time back on my side, it's time for an update.

Daylight savings ended. Now we've "gained" one hour of sleep. Clock has been wound back one hour.

Weather has suddenly gone cold. It happened on Saturday early morning, brrrr. Friday was really warm and all. But now, it feels like autumn. So now I think I'll be wearing long pants now.

Bro got married a week ago. He's a married man now. Don't think that really bothers me though, I'm still single and nothing's changing. Haven't really gotten pics of it either, because they are on the other bro's computer, and in RAW format. about 3 gigs worth. I don't have that space free on my two drives. Considering getting a 300 g drive very soon.

I ordered and got an Ipaq H5550 for $200. No Cradle. So I got a cradle for it. It works, and I've been playing with it for a while. To some, it's a tool, but for me, who doesn't have a handheld, it's a games machine. I could buy a Nintendo DS which has a touch screen, but the games would cost a bit. Also I was "offered" a PSP for the princely sum of $350. It includes some videos and a 1 gb memorystick. Tempting, but I don't think I will get one yet. I had an invite for an XBOX360 Guiness World Record thingy, but I didn't wanna go to that either, it costs $20. But apparently u get $150 worth of gear when you do go (after paying, of course). Still... I'm not a Microsoft fanboy. Maybe when Sony or Nintendo does a launch I might consider...

Today was a weird day. 3 people messaged me on MSN. AT THE SAME TIME, asking different things. I haven't talked to them for a while, and well, one was to say hi, and told me she spoke with a friend she didn't talk to for 4 years. They had an argument 4 years ago and suddenly they are gonna make up... Good for them. The other guy, he was asking me about what LCD screen I got, I had an 19" ever since I upgraded my comp and well, he was asking about refresh rates and stuff. Weird. The third one asked me about a girl that we used to chat to on irc's surburb. The fact I know this was that I used to live a few streets away from her (almost a km away though...) and thats why he asked me, because he knew we were in the same surburb. I actually also used to live a few streets away from her too, on the opposite side (think of a straight line) but that was because we moved from a small house to a big house, in the same surburb. The small house was probably 500 meters away from her, while the big house was a km away. But I never met her, and I don't think I will. All three who msned me are brisbanites. First one was there, but lived in melb a few years, then moved back. Second one, he lived there till a few years ago and then went off to shanghai. Third is still there. Stuck there till he decides to leave the place. Which is probably never.

The friend I chat to who isn't in Australia, she's off to TW for 3 weeks. Hope she has fun there, she probably will, but sometimes when I chat with her, she doesn't sound happy at all... thinks too much. She probably wouldn't know what's going on till her sis gets married, then something something. Because I wouldn't know what would happen, but it's still fun to chat with her.

I got a haircut today, I asked my mum to cut it short, and she thinks that 10cm is short... Next time I wouldn't save the money, I'll go to a barbers and then they can decide on a style. I think I have the same hairstyle for the past 20 years, that's for sure. (Except the years I lived by "myself" (with cousin's family) and in college. I got my uncle to cut my hair then...)

Work... same as usual. One ex-colleague, he worked with us for about a week in the warehouse, asked me on MSN if I was interested in doing call centre work at his company. Now, I could've gone into our callcentre, except I don't want to, because I don't like to hear people complain all the time. So why would I leave this job for that job, where I don't know anybody else there, and have to listen to people complain? I think if I'm ready for a change, I will go, but not yet... by the end of this year probably. I do need a holiday of sorts...
