bitter sweet weekend

i was really glad the mobilization exercise was over. had a very long and tiring saturday night. it started at 2130 and ended at 1030 the next morning. thirteen hours without sleep, burned weekend and feeling lethargic the whole sunday. sigh. it was my first mobilization exercise and the most memorable one. my gut feel tells me the subsequent mobilization exercises will be similar. to those who did not turn up, you are the man! you made the right choice. i swear the next one, i surely won't turn up.

simply put, if you are unemployed or a lazy bum, then i guess you will definitely like attending those time-wasting-for-nothing exercises. time is precious man. it creeps up to you and bite you, making you feel queasy and nervy.

SA was pissed when i could not deliver the site on time. i admitted it was my mistake. blame it on my incapability or whatever. nothing is out and that's the fact. that's it. i showed you whatever i have done. i do not have to entertain you. you don't like the product, get someone else to do it for you then. i suggest you follow JH's style of work. it's systematic. there is no priority given. it's purely based on a first-come-first-serve basis. think about it, you need me. period.

enough ranting over work. felt better after letting the gas out. recently, i got myself a mp3 player. it's a creative zen stone.



it's a gift from dear. bought on saturday a.k.a mob(bing) day. tried it out briefly on the day of purchase. in fact, i wanted to bring it to camp but didn't get to use it. anyway, it's a creative and i didn't trust portable digital players from creative since the nomad days. however, i decided to give it a chance, considering its small price.

it sounds pretty good. the buds are in my ears as i blog. built quality is better than, say a muvo? it's a minimalist so no expectation here. but, to my horror, it died the next day! it could not be switched on and it would not charge. oh well, if anyone tells me there's nothing wrong with their creative players, i take it with a pinch of salt. it's really disappointing. even their patented once the king of pc sound cards (soundblaster) are sucky as well. i did everything i could, from firmware upgrade to getting online sources on troubleshooting solutions, nothing could get it to blink a light.

i had no choice but to do an exchange. got the replacement earlier after work. it works fine now. i keep my fingers crossed.

saturday is also meaningful on the other hand. i have a new ring! it's a couple ring and dear has the other half.



Aren't they lovely? i love it, every square inch of it. our love has gone through so many ups and downs and this will mark another chapter forward. then what about our first ring (you may ask)? well, i will polish it to mirror shine and wear it! most probably i will wear it to attend events like wedding dinners.

to sum up, i had a bitter sweet weekend but i hope you have had a good one though. hope my next weekend is better. *yawn* the z-monster has captured me already.

thanks for reading. bye bye.
