Exploring mobile apps

Woah yeah finally I'm able to create posts via iPhone. Have been waiting for this for a long time. Contract at Sentosa is ending soon and I'm already looking forward to December hols with her. Yup got a girl friend now so gonna reset my priorities a bit.

They've spoken to me and it seems they wanna convert me to perm staff. I'm fine with that except we haven't spoke about the pay yet. Damn they better be realistic and not offer me peanuts.

Will be blogging more after the long hiatus now that I've got more time.

New job

2nd day into my new job. Didn't know that I would quit Accenture so soon but yeah well... seriously now when I look back it's definitely the right thing to do.

Data Centre

Alright project went LIVE lo yeah.... this means I still got a job for this year and the next:) Currently assigned to Starhub Data Center for 1 week post production support. Only 2 things to say: 1) This place is cold 2) There's nothing to do.

End of post.

Feeling great

Went for a Kelong trip near Pulau Sibu in Johore last week and it was very relaxing. It was my birthday and I wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of Singapore. The photos can be found in my Facebook page. The trip made me realize that I haven't gone for a tour in a really long while. Hopefully I can plan a nice long trip towards the end of the year.

I'm shifting house again and this time I hope to shift to a place which is more centralized. That way I can go out more easily and meet up my mahjong kakis for games. I think staying in the East Coast area is quite inconvenient if you don't have a car and before I could familiarize with the place, I'm leaving already. Well, I won't miss the place though.

Converted

Just got converted to a permanent position with Accenture on 1st March. Feeling quite depressed actually cos I didn't manage to roll off from the project (shh don't tell my bosses). All in all things seem to be pretty settled nowadays so I can start to concentrate on my other interests. Close friends will know what I'm talking about. In the meantime I'm reading Don Quixote which is actually a very comical book. I'll definitely introduce this book to anyone who wants a good laugh.

Last 6 months

Been a while since I last blogged, so I'll give a brief summary of what's happened diz last 6 months. Contract extended and still slaving away. End of summary.

Just finished this book Othello by William Shakespeare. Very good book, exploring the themes of jealousy, betrayal and love. A tragedy in the deepest sense. Plot's a bit racist though since the main protagonist Othello is a Moor (Black) and his wife Desdemona is a Venetian (Caucasian). Dad told me that during his stay in England he had heard of someone shooting an actor playing as Othello, primarily because he couldn't stand the sight of the Black actor strangling the White actress.

Les Miserables

Just finished reading this French novel by Victor Hugo. Its the abridged version in English and I enjoyed it tremendously. I really like to read books depicting the poor( the invalides in Les Miserables) cos they remind me that the world we live in is really filled with many unfortunate people and I should cherish every little thing that I have.
