Farewell...
I am gonna discontinue this blog... Why? I don't think anybody apart from one friend is reading this. And that person just complained to me, so I think its time to stop the blog. Its been fun... hope to see another re-incarnation of this blog later, but I think I'll stop this blog for a while... One last update... Crazy Job! its a Korean flash game... enjoy!.
Sincerely Blogged,
Ken.

Some good things happened today... First of all my $$ came in... woo hoo ;) now I'm slightly richer... I wanna get my Mini-Itx computer... but still would prefer to get a digicam, or a mp3 player... we'll see how it goes :) My bro has also gotten something that nobody in this immediate family has gotten. A PHD. Yes, he's officially a Dr now. Not the medical type... but in starch. *go figure*. Anyways... I also got some t-shirts from work... Nice deep purple shirts they are... will wear them to work from now on (feeling patriotic/loyal perhaps) hahaha even if its part time :) Anyways... more work to be done tomorrow... so that'll be all for now...
Late update: Crimson Room another puzzle game like MOTAS... challenging, but it was easy after clicking everywhere :P This time it was only to get out of one room. Hint: After getting the screwdriver, you are done! :P

Not many movies on tonite... Some lame one I don't even know, some other lame one I don't know either, and "The Mask of Zorro"... which I think I don't need to see again. Thus... I am online, and having funny conversations with my friends from Taiwan... :) Meanwhile the rain has steadily poured on during the night... and some instances it was so loud (on my part of the roof) that I find it hard to think... hmmm :P (Not that I think alot anyways :P)
Rain rain go away come back another day... its raining all day today... That didn't stop my mum going out (i.e dragging me along) to buy a bag of 25kg Rice, and other assorted vegetables and groceries. Needless to say I'm soaked. Anyways, last nite watched Total Recall... good old film... wouldn't say its the best, but its pretty good (for the era). Also last night's Monk was pretty good too... didn't know Monk can be an actor on a stage play... but of course... he loses his composure... when there is an audience... and the bit where he 'flips' the table was funny to watch :) ah... next week will be repeated CSI... no fun there :P

A strange morning. I went to Strathfield for one of them job search thingys... I had planned to get there at 9:30, but I managed to wake up at 9... so I got there after brekkie and stuff 15 mins late... Anyways, spent around 20 mins there looking for jobs... then... something was weird on the way down the elevator... this woman was wearing big fluffy white boots... and wearing something that I would consider... skimpy... more of a Cosplay feel to her than anything else... I mean... who would walk around wearing big fluffy boots???? If she was asian she would have been nice... but... no she wasn't... Strathfield shopping strip = Korean central... so yeah... weird people there :P Then, driving on the way back... there was this huge truck that had a broken axle... so there was delays there for around 5 mins... then, as soon as I got past that truck, this maniac nearly crashed into me. Obviously they don't know their way around there...there were two lanes going straight, and two lanes turning right... the fucking maniac was probably doing 70 on the turning right lane, and he wanted to go straight... right into me. Lucky I saw the blue fucking streak and I dodge to the left... otherwise there would've been a fucking accident, even though I was in the right, I wouldn't wanted that to fucking happen... and then that guy pulled off really quickly, doing 80 km/h in a 60 zone... -_- hope he gets busted. A blue holden I think... But anyways... I think that was enough excitement for the morning...
Will 'moblogs' mean mo' money? | CNET News.com"Mo' Money Mo' Problems" is still one of my favourite rap songs... Now they are blogging to the beat, with people taking pics and sending it straight to their blog... Thats pretty cool... When I get a digi cam I will do that too... :P
Google to offer gigabyte of free e-mail - News - ZDNet... WOW :P A Free Email with 1 GB of storage... The only catch is that... you need to look at ads all the time... hmmm but that does beat the limit of certain emails... :)
An ok day today. I woke up late, (my supervisor gave me a ring to ask me where some bits and pieces went... they were very visible... but it was ok, they found it after the call...) and spent some time chatting with somebody on hinet for a bit... Quite an interesting character they are :) Anyways... I went for shopping afterwards... got milk, nutri-grain, and a packet of Arnotts Family Assorted for $1.99. It was on special... cheap for 500g worth of bikkies. After that went outside to help dad put up a big sheet of plastic... to prevent rain coming into the 'veranda' where he is building the gas stove. That area is ok... if we had a bit of time and effort, we can completely cover it up, and it'll become a dry 'room'... but yeah... that'll take time and effort... In the evening there wasn't much to watch on telly... so I spent more time chatting with that somebody... anyways I don't think I'll be called into work tomorrow... so I shall go to Salvos and have a chat there to find a more permenant job. *yawns* nites :P (oh wait its already Friday :P)

Happy April Fools Day Everybody!. I spent yesterday doing work (as usual) except my supervisor didn't come due to sickness. So again I did a almost full day by myself. Except I had around 2 hours help from James, who comes from the other warehouse. I think eventually getting a forklift ticket will benefit me because that means I can just get the stuff unloaded etc etc.. without getting somebody else to help. But thats a little bit down the track. Today I only shipped out around 15 items... not much out... some were from yesterday... but yeah... one item was destined for Virgin Blue... wonder if they will give us discounts... but I think the poor warehouse people won't... oh well :P... I didn't leave much RMA for thursday... but knowing how it goes... might have alot coming in tomorrow... but if my supervisor still sick, and my friend sick... then I might get called in... -_- and I'm already doing this blog at 1am... oh well expect the worst tomorrow :P (hopefully can sleep in!!) byes :D

didn't do much yesterday... but today I'm TIRED. Damn tired. Doing the job which is normally for 2 people does take it out of u... Thats why they have the warehouse leader, and the warehouse assistant. But today I did both jobs... to a certain degree. I couldn't do the forklifting jobs, so I asked Tim to help me. Otherwise I think I did ok... Not much stuff to get in, and only shipped out 8 items today... + around 3 for AirRoad... Considering I had a bunch of stuff for IN... and there was the forklifting pallets of CRTs... too much to do for one person :P But I'll go sleep early and will get there in a good mood. I still say I'm lucky I don't do it full time by myself since it does drain your energy. In the evening watched CSI... pretty good episode... thus the motto is... If you can't get it right the first time, get onto a different tangent. Side step, if u must, to get to your goal. Also got some stuff today... Apparently we won a promotion held by Sanitarium from their "Power Up for School and Win" promotion... A pencil case worth $13! weeeeee... not that I need it! :P The other stuff that we got... well... it was my mum... she goes to english class... and somebody said that they don't need their stereo system... so now we got a 60 CD stacker system... sure, we have around 60 CDs... but I guess its just worth getting it for free just for the... heck of it?? I don't know... but basically... the girl giving it away was moving, and had no space... so she ask if my mum wanted it... yes she said... so she said... u take it home by taxi... but she doesn't wanna... so then she was kind enough to drop it off... and then my dad went with her back to Bankstown because she doesn't know where we live in relation to bankstown... anyways... its cool :P 60 CD stacker... interesting :P

Daylight savings ends. It ended today, and the only item that wasn't changed in the house is probably... the car's clock. But gaining that extra hour still made me sleepy :P I didn't do much today... except to go out shopping for fruit... $0.99/kg for Nashii pears, and $0.69/kg for oranges. So its cheap... Also bread, but milk there was raised from $1.98 to $2.20... oh well... I watched "Underworld"... its an ok movie... nothing 'techincally new' there, no great romance, or hatred, or serious contemplation... just an ok movie. Last nite, the Iron Chef Japanese was beaten by a german chef. So that was interesting. Did u know there are 10 different natural colors for the bell peppers? (or capsicums as they are called in other parts of the world). Normal Ones are Red and Green, Yellow, Orange. Then there are Purple, Black, Indigo, Brown, and some colors which were a blend... but it was an interesting battle. After that, there wasn't any Monk to watch... oh well... and then there was "Twister" with Helen Hunt... Its still a funny movie to see in short bursts, but u soon get tired of vehicles being dropped infront of whoever is driving. Be it the main characters, the non main characters, animals. Hehe tonite there will be Rush Hour 2. I think I'll see that, unless I wanna see Pearl Harbour, which I don't think I wanna see. I don't even know whats on the other channel. Oh well who cares.

Wasted around 2-3 hours of my valuable time today... :P First woke up around 11, and then I went to voting for the local govt elections. And then I came home... and mum was wanting to get new tyres... She couldn't go get them herself, had to wait for me to come home and get them -_- So we went to a nearby tyre shop... and got $70 tyres.. 2 Tyres for the rear... $140... and that took about an hour... That shop was doing great business... had alot of cars coming in every 5 mins and tyres fitted and stuff... after that, we went to get the car checked, since its always leaking water somewhere... turns out it doesn't leak water visually... it has water that seeps into the gasket, and comes out with the exhaust... and it took around 1 hour to do that since he also had around 6 cars sitting there with their hoods popped... so yeah... spent 2 hours of doing nothing -_-... Coming home, bro was bitching about my downloads that I left running... -_-... so I say to him, fuck it, I won't download anything... then he can't complain about shit... I mean... all he ever does is to play CS, or Gunbound... and then he complains about the speed -_-... thats just stupid. We didn't get the adsl just for him to play games... but he tends to think that he's top shit. Oh well. No movies for a while.
I nearly had the possibility of having an car accident today. I was driving along Park Rd to work, and then, without warning... my car makes a noise. This noise gets bigger at high speeds. I knew something was wrong, but I had another 30 mins to get to work. So I kept on going, and then my car starts making noises like a big truck. At this rate, the guy behind me honks me, and I pull over. Turns out I had a flat tyre for over one KM... As I was wondering what to do, I had less than 15 mins to go before work starts... This lady with her two kids were kind enough to tell me that I managed to overshoot a petrol station 20 meters away. So I legged it over there, and ask them if they can change my tyre for me... The job was done rather slowly... took 5 mins... but better than if I was to change it myself, since I would've taken more than 15 mins... so, he asked for $10, I gave him the $$ and drove to work with around 2 mins to spare. There was a bridge over a railway that was really stupid... we sat there for around 5 mins waiting for the lights to change... normally the lights change in around 2 mins... so it felt really long... and then when the lights decided to change, the first driver decides to be looking down or something since it turned yellow quickly -_-... so I think I made it with 3-4 cars, then everybody behind just followed since they've been waiting for a long time... so I think another 3-4 cars after that ran the red light. But that was poor management on the people's behalf... Anyways, work was hectick as usual... lots of RMA in, and plenty of GIM parts to inventory... but I met the guy who does Fridays... called Gao, from Beijing. Funny thing was... I thought his name was Carl... But then thats because my supervisor doesn't know English names properly. Anyways, it being Friday, we did almost all the RMA, and left some for Monday, which is Sam's turn. And then we left there before 5:30... something which doesn't happen alot since theres always something to do... Coming home before 5:45 was pretty good... just relaxed... Anyways... tonite didn't have anything good to watch... but then I got "Once Upon a Time in Mexico"... so will watch that later :D Tomorrow will have the local (govt) election, which is compulsory... so will have to go do that some time tomorrow... hopefully it'll be cooler tomorrow too... it was hot today...

Another easy day today. And met my bro's 'new' gf... After 10pm. As normal people do. NOT. Nah, basically, the day was like this... I woke up (technically) at 7:45 by my alarm clock. It being a moderately cold morning, I said "I shall sleep for 5 mins more". So I close my eyes, and the next thing I know its 8:15. You can bet that I was not sleepy anymore after that. I did all the stuff I do before I go out in 15 mins, then got to work with 5 mins to spare. Anyways, work was rather easy today. All I did was the RMAs (which was really little... seems like products don't wanna play up...) and so I did alot of Stocktaking. But I think there won't be many RMAs tomorrow also because Stanley got given all these Eval units to examine... poor Stanley :P Anyways, while I was working, my bro (who finishes his PHD today) gave his PHD talk today, and then they came back after 12, then left around 5 to have dinner in a crappy restraunt in the Newtown area, called Akasuka (or something dodgy)... bad service with big groups... bad indeed. My parents won't go there again thats for sure :P. So, I finished work around 5:30, and then I drove to Villawood to get KFC for the other bro since he didn't go out to have dinner. Watched Simpsons, old and new episodes, funny as ever, and then CSI:Miami... pretty interesting explosion... from an envelope. Never f*ck with the columbians!! :P Unless u wanna die in ways u never thought of :P Anyways, my parents came back from the dodgy dinner, and my bro also bought the gf along. Taiwanese, and had a look at the house, and then my bro went to drop her off at her place... and I don't have to go in tomorrow, except that if something does happen and they want me in... then I will go in... but I think I'll go in on Friday cos my supervisor is going to Ingleburn... hmm will see what happens :P

Corn be Gone. The row of corn that we grew is now gone, since we finished eating them :D And thus that row will be used to plant something else. Today I felt better than last nite... thats cos I slept at 11 instead of the usual vampiric hours :P. Anyways, yesterday was rather hectic at work, lots of orders and stuff. Today on the other hand... was rather calm... finished all the RMA In and Ship Outs... + stock inventory... thus tomorrow will probably be a busy day... but who cares, its work :) More fun to be busy than to be bored. And I'm considering going to Ingleburn. But who knows... it might be a process worker job... -_-... ah doesn't matter... see what turns up... will go sleep early tonite too... still can't use my nose properly :P hehehe (I'm sad) CSI tonite was pretty good, a head and homosexual people... :P good combination? No. You'll just have to see it to understand. And... after blowing my nose about 20 times in the shower (you'll go... ewwwwwwww!!) I think my nose is finally having a chance to work... otherwise I'll still be like a goldfish... :O breathing through my mouth... (hehe have I gone crazy? probably due to lack of oxygen to the brain :P)

I think I've caught the sniffles... It was fine when I woke up... well, not fine... grey clouds in the sky... But then I didn't feel too bad... then I went shopping, and on foot, without an umbrella. I got milk and bread, and 3 packs of Chicken Nuggets, and a 4-pack of Tic Tacs... (one costs around 88 cents, the 4 pack is around 2.xx)... Orange flavour. And then, walking on the way home, it starts raining... lucky it was light, but when I got in, it was heavy... and then it kept raining all arvo and evening. We ate the corn that we grew in the arvo... Its of the Taiwanese species... the purple kernels, not the gold ones. And the people in the TW elections who lost were sore loosers... demanding a recount... just like the poor idiots in the american elections. Ah what nonsense :P. Anyways, I watched "The One", found it to be pretty good. Then in the evening, I watched "The Fast and the Furious"... not bad too. A rev-head's movie, but I think "Gone in 60 seconds" was a little more exciting, but TFATF had its moments. Anyways, the other movie that was worth watching was Space Cowboys, but I saw it twice and didn't feel that it could compete against TFATF this time... sorry Clint and Tommy :P. Ok I think I'll go hit the sack early, since I got work tomorrow... laters :P
