Ahhhhhh public holiday~~

Heh... waking up late on a Monday... thats a nice feeling... No rush, take everything slowly. Last nite blogger was having some issues, so I ended up with 7 posts. Lucky I can delete them today :D

I will be leaving later on today to watch the free movie. In the meantime, I watched 'Mai-Hime' Ep 01. ITS GOOD! Well... its got a lot of action, and cuteness. Definately for the guys :P Ho ho ho :P

Sunday peaceful Sunday

Ah its nice today... slept in till 11... then watched "Sky Captain: The World of Tomorrow"... then played a few hours of Duke Nukem: Project Manhattan... Bulldogs won over the Roosters in NRL Grand Final... Anyways... heres a in depth discussion...
Sky Captain is a movie done entirely on a green/blue background. But, if u watch the movie, you'll be hard to imagine that all the actors did were to act in front of a green wall for most of the movie. The main characters are Sky Captain (Jude Law), Polly (Gwenneth Paltrow), Dex (don't know who he is), and Captain Cook (Angelina Jolie). The story is adventure, with Sky Captain and Polly trying to save the world because of missing scientists (with the help of Dex (scientist) and Cpt. Cook (A Captain of female aquaphibians).. Its supposedly 'set' in the 1930s, but the technologies are more advanced than that is available today. So, its basically a 'sit back leave ur brain behind' kind of movie. Not bad for a sunday lazy sitting in front of the tv viewing :) One thing about the robots... they feel like Ghibli's Robots in some of his anime... people might disagree, but hey, it doesn't matter... its similiar, not exactly the same :P. Anyways, the address for it is http://www.skycaptain.com
Duke Nukem: Project Manhattan is... a side scroller. Its in 3D. And its hella fun. Blasting radioactive monsters. Solving Puzzles. Getting Pissed Off. (Famous Quote: "It's Time to Chew Gum and Kick some ass... and I'm all out of gum.". Hours of Fun for me :)
Dinner, we had Wontons. Yummo :D~~. And, its grand final for the NRL. When the bulldogs won, many many many fricking idiots drove around honking their horns and yelling loudly on our street... -_- almost like a riot... Lucky it stopped in about 15 mins... now its nice and peaceful :D
Didn't watch tv after that... just surfed and feeling tired. And can't wait to watch Shaun of the Dead today..... the trailer looks pretty funny (to me :P) Website.

This is what my dad got somebody to make... Its very nice, but its not cheap. Impressive, no? 

Rain

It was raining all day today. And yesterday as well at night. But the main point is... today there were plenty of rain. It never stopped for the 8.5 hours I was at work... and the time I was at home it didn't stop either. I think only now its a light drizzle or something, since I can't hear it on my tin roof. Anyways, work was very much the usual. One of the service engineers was on leave, so we don't have to do his stuff. Just let it pile up and do it on one go, its easier for us that way. However theres still a lot of stuff for the other engineers to fix, so we're still busy. Didn't have much other things to do... Guess its not so bad on a Friday. But since its the first day of the month, there was some stocktaking to do. That was done without a problem... but a problem for our supervisor cos there were some missing products, but not from the warehouse... which was good. Turns out they were missing since Feb (after a break in... -_-) and they didn't bother updating their database... which rather sux, but what the hey... the marketing people are too busy doing their shows that when they come back, they forget to do their own stocktake of what they got... and that always messes up the system, and who do they try to blame when things go missing? you betcha. Poor us. :P Oh well, as long as we got the records, they can't blame us. They only got themselves to blame. :D So its important to keep records of everything that goes in and out of our warehouse... too much finger pointing going on around here. Anyways, came home in the rain, watched Simpsons, and then bro borrowed a digicam from his supervisor. So took some pics... pretty crappy I must say, its because the non-flash mode is rather grainy. The ones with flash looks much better, sharper, but sometimes got shadow effect (dark on the edges...). Ahhh I want my own camera!! :(

My Futurama poster... that my bro gave me as a Birthday Present... sorry its a bit blurry... :P 

My Bender Doll... made out of cardboard, of course :P 

Light vs Dark 

The 2 sides of me... light vs dark... 

Nearly Friday...

Seems like I got nothing to blog about... Today was still a bit damp, it didn't actually rain hard, but there was the soft rain variety. I didn't take off my jacket today, it was that much cooler. Some people didn't turn up today, so it felt more quiet. Less stuff came in also. How about that? Two of the biggest couriers that send stuff didn't come at all today! Very very coincidental. That might also mean that tomorrow... will have plenty to do. And on a Friday too. Booooo. Anyways. Came home, there was a sample of Coffee Mate. I'm not exactly a coffee drinker, but its always interesting to get samples that I never really apply for. :D. Watched "Sensei no Ojikan (Teacher Time) ep 8". Its... about Valentines Day and White Day... we don't have White Day in Aus... :P But its fun to watch as always :) (Takes the translators a long time to get them translated... :( ) Anyways, since nothing doing, will go sleep earlier... not. :P

Mixed day...

Some things are good, and others are bad. We all have to take it in our stride and face up to it. Work was rather dreary, it was looking like its gonna rain, but didn't... so there was this 'gloomy' atmosphere around the warehouse... but we did move some big items out, which freed up plenty of space for tomorrow's stock... -_-. Anyways, came home and found out the electricity had cut out for about 2 hours... interesting. And then found some 'good' news... I applied for some free tix to a new movie that hasn't come out here... and I got some! Here's how it happened.

How it started... Invite for free tix? you betcha!


Then, this email came... oh.. did I make the cut?


And then... w00t! I'm taking my friend, since both my bros are slack and doesn't wanna go on Monday (NSW Labour Day)...


. This would make it my 4th Free movie ever. First was Tomb Raider 2, watched it with my bro. Then it was The Day After Tomorrow, watched it by myself (with 300 other strangers), then I, Robot (yay company! :D). Then this... yay! :P Something to look forward to on Monday. :D Just hope it won't rain *fingers crossed*

Pity its still raining hard though... Last nite I was rudely awakened by two f***ing cats that was in the crawl space under the house. They were wailing and geezus I couldn't sleep. It was 1am... lasted for about 1/2 to 1 hour... That time it was raining pretty hard too... just like now... -_-;; Hopefully tonite won't be a repeat case... Otherwise I might go nuts... and be a cat hunter... here kitty kitty kitty...

Day of Boredom.... -_-

Today had to be a pretty boring day. Why? Traffic was free flowing, got to work, did the usual. No big drama here. Shipped out some units today, so there was just that tiny little bit extra room in the warehouse. Lunch I had sushi my mum made me, but collegue had fish and chips and I wished I was eating that instead, it smells so good (the oil that fried the fish/chips is very very nice...) I'm also very ravenous lately... can eat quite a large amount... even had 2 moon cakes tonight while watching CSI and Cold Case. Taro with walnut was made not by us, and its got a very nice taste. The other is what my mum made, I've had plenty of those... :P But its all good. After having a shower I feel that I'm not more 'refreshed' but more tired, and ready to sleep... :P So I guess I'll talk more later then :P

Ergg...

My teeth hurt. Every now and then, if I move my jaw slightly, I get this feeling of somebody drilling my teeth, or a sharp electric jolt. I think its more electric. But I can survive. Hopefully it will go away tomorrow (it has reduced the intensity of the jolt since yesterday...). I don't think I am a macho guy, but I do have a higher tolerance of pain... Ever since my appendix burst, they've pumped me full of sedatives and I guess I never recovered from that... (my dad laments the fact that before the appendix incident, I was doing well at school. After that, my grades went down the drain... but I guess I'm alive, thats the main thing :P. Anyways, today did practically the same things, except had to sort out a lot of 10 kg boxes (21... lifted 210 kilos today... w00t) think I sprained my wrist... -_- But should be ok, since now it doesn't hurt. Sleep is a miracle cure-all in my instance :P
Tomorrow Taiwan has a public holiday. Mid-Autumn festival. There people will be trying to admire the moon while having moon cakes. Through the smog I guess. Here, we can do the same, but the moon won't be as big? The tilt makes it a different size. Anyways, hope all that reads this have a happy 中秋節﹗And eat plenty of mooncakes, will yas?? (for me and my sore tooth :P)

Fall anime (Spring Anime here...)

Few things that I wouldn't mind watching (simply because I've read the manga). Yakitate! Japan, Genshiken, School Rumble. Mai-Hime looks interesting too. Also hopefully Mahou Sensei Negima. Ahhh *rubs hands*

FASCO-CS

FASCO-CS... The maker of "Crimson Room" now has 'Viridian Room". More challenging. And definately a lot more creepy. Enjoy :)

Making stuff on Sunday...

Spent a lazy day in... woke up pre-noon. It was warm... around 25 degrees. Did some file conversion (took around 2.5 hours). Then my mum asked me to make some 'shen tsao'... which is the black grass jelly. By making she meant mixing sugar with water, and then finely chopping the grass jelly and putting into the sugar water. This time I didn't add as much sugar, so it wasn't as nice, but its cool and refreshing in the fridge. :D My brother confused it with 'ai yui', which is also a jelly, but its made by running water through seeds, and mushing/crushing the seeds. That produces a form of gelatin or something which forms a jelly like substance when it settles. Anyways, for dinner I made about 50-60 'water legs' :P. "shui jiao", or dumplings. Mum made the rest, because she was making the sour-hot-soup. I ended up eating 32 of the dumplings, other bro had 30, and the other bro had 25 cos he wasn't hungry. (I was... :P). I ate while watching tv, they had a nature show about Croatia's Lakes or something... something funny was that a single Boar can defend itself against a pack of wolves, and a bear can also beat a pack of wolves for food. Very interesting. Anyways, I got a little toothache... *sigh* Its from eating too much sweet stuff... but I can't help it... :P Hopefully it'll be better tomorrow *crosses fingers*.

"Stupid Cat"

haha its not so stupid, but its more of a bored person's video... :P

My Saturday

Mmmm... Saturday... a time to sleep in? Guess not, not this Saturday... I woke up 'early' again, to get the car into the mechanic. It took him from 9am till 4pm to fix 2 Engine mounts for $140. (6 hours, if 1 hour for lunch... equivalent to $23/hr. Of course, the parts would've been a bit, so the labour cost would be much less. But then, he had about 5 other cars as well... so yeah, a car mechanic is always busy and probably earning not bad prices. Except you'll be up to your shoulders in grease, so its not a fun job. Anyways, last nite I started a download, it finished 10 hours later. It took 2 hours to convert it into SVCD, and about 10 mins to add chinese subtitles to it. 3 Mins to burn. And it'll be watched in 1 hour (1 hour 9 minutes and 38 seconds to be exact...). Isn't that sad... :P But it sure beats paying $1x for a ticket in the cinema. Heh :P Last nite there was 'Die Hard with a Vengence'.. but didn't watch it... hmmmmm I was too tired...

TFGIFF!! (Yes its extra 'F's :P)

Man, its hard to take this job with a good grace... So many fingers pointed at the warehouse today... its like pick on warehouse day. Ahhhhh... one incident involving me was... they had a box about 1/2 a kg but it was big, and since big items are calculated by cubic weight, it was over 5 kg, and we put it with another courier... and they still haven't recieved it because it was going to Tasmania... so the customer rang and literally abused the poor girl... So she comes and almost takes it out on me... But I tried to explain why we did that, to save money because of the cubic weight issue... she goes 'oh just pack it in a smaller box'... like that's gonna be really secure. So me and collegue, we say 'f*** it' and then from now on, we ship all big items as small size and see how they like the $$ falling out of their pockets. Try to save some $$ and get told off... *sigh*. Our supervisor was also kinda having a big headache with all the big 60+ units in the warehouse. Apparently nobody set the alarms last nite... thats kinda dangerous, because if they broke in they can steal many units and we'd be up shit creek without a paddle. So he's like really worried. But what can worrying do? We got security alarms, but no patrols. So its kinda dodgy. Rent-a-guard is very expensive, so... yeah... he has a big headache. But on the upside, I might be able to get a cheap digicam soon. Our company isn't gonna sell DC in Aus anymore... So they are collecting unsold stock and then offering it to staff... and then selling them or keeping them as service units. So *crosses fingers* hope I can get one cheap. :D

Hahaha (parental guidence recommended)

hmm... A Happy days Card??? Yeah you bet the driver is happy :P

One more day...

And I'm ready to collapse. Well, I will take the car in early on Sat morning to get it fixed... but yeah, its been tiring today... The engineer + casuals who were doing the reworking were all gone today... so all the hustle and bustle of yesterday was strangely missing. Instead we had a big hubub about missing units... This was rather a big issue, and it was going on and on... ... and on and on and on... The guy says there's 68 units, but we only got 65, then 2 units came from somewhere, and blah blah blah it was all rather useless, because we can see that our supervisor is quietly losing it... We can't blame him, because its not his fault, but he will be getting the flak when the shit hits the fan. Thats if the shit hits the fan, because they were pretty well negotiating every hour by having a group discussion with warehouse manager plus warehouse specialist plus technical manager plus supervisor plus some guy who does transfers... who done what... everybody pushing blame elsewhere, so it was quite stressful. Plus it was rather humid in our little office too, when the air con was off... Apart from the debarcle, everything else was pretty good. All these units were shipped out with a minor hiccup... the van that comes at 4pm didn't come... so we had to call, and then at 4:50 it came... then he was bitching because he already knocked off work... the regular guy who does our warehouse has gone off for 2.5 weeks of fishing at an Island off the Queensland coast... lucky guy. I bet all the warehouse guys would wanna be on hols now... the situation is getting bad... We wish it would go away, but it seems that the units in dispute won't be leaving till maybe next week... -_- Oh well... If we don't have service at our company anymore, no biggie... I got my health and a forklift license... can get a similar job elsewhere... maybe going back to t-shirt handling... but yeah, I think the future looks bleak for now... Why must there be all this negativity... and why is it rubbing off on me, when I'm usually so funny? :P (Plus collegue thinks its funny to try to say that girls like me... like WTF?? psycho girl doesn't like me, thank you very much.)
