Blue Tuesday

Lab was full today, so couldn’t print Jini stuffs that I wanted, went up to library to find intro Java book which hopefuly contains Jini explanation.. no such book exists in UNSW library. Came back home empty handed and picked up a letter from mailbox, it’s from Koorong, yep it’s a rejection letter.. sigh. Lina came home and told me that she too got rejected from Koorong.. double sighs.. Sorry for the people who have prayed for us, God has different plan obviously.
Hm actually why rejection letters always using this line:n”We are overwhelmed by the response that we received and the qualites shown by the applicants. We regret to inform you that we have found more suitable candidates for the position. All the best in finding the role that you are looking for”.
Oh well, back to square one. Was thinking of reasons why I wa
a quit HPA:n1. The position doesn’t give me opportunity to grow in the direction that i want to grow. It doesn’t challenge me intellectually. n2. Although the pay is quite ok, enough for both me and Lina at this moment, but it’s really on the borderline, once kids coming to the picture and Lina no longer working, we will be quite troubled financially. n3. People who are working there are bitter, they don’t want to be there.n4. Performance is not rewarded, manager looks only at group achieving target but individual contributions are not recoqnised. I’m quite glad that the ppl that I work with are hardworking, but the prev gal in our department was slacking off.. well she’s pregnant.. she should’ve quit earlier. n5. One thing that I hate from my workmates tho, is talking behind ppl’s back and most of them are either christians or catholics.. sigh. I was tempted to join in talking bad about other people.
sad.. sad.. what should i do.. should i go back to indo?

May Health Update

Since diagnosed with liver problem as mentioned earlier here, I have observed quite strict eating and exercise regime. Lina with her cooking talent has managed to make my diet so easy to bare, in fact I don’t feel like dieting at all (well miss the biscuits and sweet stuffs that I used to eat a lot). Been walking home from work to Eastgarden (35 mins walk) and started to go to gym too plus the usual weekly soccer. I also started to do some weights, and also bought a gym ball last week, yay!
I started with 101.75 and now I weigh 97.30, I’m happy, but there’s still so much more to lose.

Bedridden

Phew, I have been sick for 3 days now, absent from work for 3 days, which is GREAT 🙂 but lousy on my pocket 🙁 with the coming MYC and driving test next week.. sigh.. can’t save much this month. Longing for the day when I’m working in a job that pays enough for both Lina and me, our kids (if God’ll give us few :)) and supporting God’s work.
I caught viral infection from Lina. It began with a very sore throat on Monday nite that continues to Tuesday, Tuesday nite and all day Wednesday, I had a ru
y nose, a severe one. Today is not so bad, wa
a work tomorrow ah!

First post after migration

So this is WordPress.. I guess the FTP bit will be confusing to ppl who never use it.
This is how I install themes:
1. browse and download the themes from here
2. unzip the themes
3. u need to have an FTP client/program to make it easier to transfer the theme files. there are free softwares out there, maybe googling using “free ftp client” will lead you somewhere, i use the trial version of AceFTP 3. u can also check download.com
or alternatively you can use the “hard” way by clicking start -> accesories -> command prompt and then type ftp yoursite.focuser.net
4. using ur fav ftp client, just transfer the theme folders to your wp-content/themes
5. login to your admin site, and activate the theme (under presentation tab)

Another goodbye

I hope that I will the next go to sih.. altho I got a feeling Yovita will leave. OMG there’s a possibility of me being moved permanently to AHM,.. argh..
