Clearance, Packed Up~

I am supposed to be on leave today... and because of my rashes, i'm on mc too...

But... i still came back to school... y? to do clearance... becoz i didn't complete it yesterday...

So finally did my handing over of duties... returned my staff card... cleared my table... etc etc...
Got so many things to bring home~ Hahaa~! Lucky i already started bring stuffs home, or else i tink even more things... Now my room like a junkyard already...

Outside is so dark and gloomy~ Its exactly how i am feeling now... Sad... Tink i'll miss this place quite a bit... afterall, this is my first official job after graduating.... And its also my last game design based job...

My next home will be in Huamin Primary School~ Hope all will start well~

Farewell Lunch~

My Colleagues just organized a farewell lunch for me at "naked fish shoppe", in Grassroots near NYP...

Sadly, onli 5 of them made it... others are on leave and have lessons...

I ordered something something catfish~ and i tink i may be allergic to that dish~ either the sauce or the fish... coz shortly after eating, i had diarreoa and followed by itching all over my neck area... i tote it just mosquito bites, so i didn't bother...

But it was itching a little too much and i told my colleague about my mosquito attacks... She pointed out that the spots looks more like rashes to her...

So i went to check and there are spots everywhere... my arms, legs, body, back, neck... these spots looks like mosquito bites... and i'm very prone to them... dats y i initially thought i was bitten badly...

Well... She told me to drink more water... I'm goin to take her advice... So i'm going to buy mineral water now~! Heeee~

Detoxification~!

Actually i'm back since yesterday afternoon...

I thought its just a holiday for my aunty's family and us... but it turned out to be a company outing for the company my uncle works at...

So the usual, there is lots of food... some mini games and prizes... dinner and prize giving ceremony... lucky draw which doesn't include my family... and lots of fun... not forgetting shopping in a limited amount of time...

The food was alright... but didn't get to eat the famous indonesian baksoh and the mee ayam~

Fun includes a bowling tournament, karaoke and jet ski~! was supposed to go for "go kart" but i gave that up for shopping... stupid me~ i noe... My highest score for bowling was 110~! was so happy~ didn't win thou~ And jet ski was around batam~ 30 full minutes of adrenaline rush~ shiok~!

prize giving to those 10 year and 25 year service awards... and lucky draw where every staff is a winner... well... at least all staff except my uncle... coz my uncle is the "biggest" there so not nice if he can get prize also~

shopping... arrrrr.... my aunty was busy bargaining prices for my sister that we ended up wasting so much time... but i managed to buy 2 gifts... 1 for my exchange present, which i still need to top up... another for a gd fren... thats all i can afford for this trip~

So overall, i enjoyed myself alot~ looking forward to my next holiday~ which i dunno when lah... Hahaa~!

Harry Potter Movie~

Went to see Harry Potter Movie today...
Must admit that the effects are done quite nicely...
Overall the whole movie seemed rushed, but still good... Heee~

I like the casting for this movie... Victor Krum is quite charming... I tink they could have chosen a better Cedric thou~ Hermione, my has she grown so beautiful~

The whole cinema was filled with families with very young kids and some very immature teenagers... so the atmosphere was very noisy and irritating...

Especially the family sitting behind me~ I originally thought that there was a father, mother and a kid... but during the show, the "father" keep shifting and kicking my chair... and the mother keeps telling the story to the young kid... Its more like a story telling session rather den a movie... One part, the "father" started laughing so loudly... So Irritating~! When the show ended, i saw that this "father" is actually a very very immature young adult... Probably the elder brother of the kid ba~ ARrgh~!

Year 2005 Bonus Announced~!

I heard on the news last nite... This yr's bonus will be the usual 13th month bonus plus a 3 quarter month bonus extra~! So good~!

BUT... BUT... BUT... BUT...

I'm NOT getting any... Not even close to Smelling it~! ARRRRGH~!

1.75 of my 1 month pay is ALOT leh~! it could solve almost ALL my financial problems... ARRGH~!

I hope NYP will be kind enough to at least give me my 13th month bonus... afterall i WORKED my ASS off for it... Arrgh...

HOPE for the Best~ Prepared for the Worst~

More Game Testing~!

Oh My... My head is goin to burst liao~ Arrgh~!

Another full day of game testing...

Its okay if you test the game for fun... and occasionally jus scream for the programmer and let him noe that there is bug~!

But to test the game seriously and document down every single actions on an excel file is no fun at all... Especially if i'm the one to start the document... Somemore the game is not equipped with the save function yet~ so if the game crashes, i have to REPLAY the whole of game again~!

Even if it doesn't crash, i will still have to test the losing conditions of some parts, which means i'll have to purposely create a gameover scenario to test it! arrgh~!

Jiashi ar... Hahaa~ She was testing it for fun... so no stress... if let me test it like that i also will have no complaints~! Heeee~

Level 2 done... 1 more Level...

Game Testing Sucks~

Whole day of game testing yesterday... Sucks... have to replay and replay the same game, over and over again... So troublesome...

3 Full Levels... So far only fully tested 1st level... still got 2 more levels to go... Hope the game dun crash on me again...

my future resume can add "Game Testing" to my list liao~ ARrgh~

More Testing...
