18th Oct - Plot twist

Seems like she was really unhappy at her current job and something happened last week that was the last straw. She tendered her resignation following that incident. Her management has yet to get back to her about it, but assuming she serves her 1 month's notice, she would be back mid next month.

I'm naturally delighted by this, its a nice surprise, at the same time I'm also hoping that its a correct decision on her part. Up til now, I've refrained from making direct advice to her regarding her work as I feel I do not fully grasp her field of work and the work environment but if things are as she described, then she might as well come back here. I believe there are other opportunities to be explored here.

Now, all I need to do is to quickly tidy up that dump I call my room and look forward to Christmas. =)

12th Oct - Civilization

Civilization V came out a couple of weeks back, missed the 4th installment in the series, so I thought I'd give this one a try. I'm actually more excited about this one than starcraft actually. For one this game is a complete package, not region locked and ... still cheaper.

Compared to its processors, this one boosts a vast improvement in graphics. Game play however, is relatively the same. The game is now hooked up onto steam thou and has an achievement page, which further increases the replay value of the game.

Now while I've been busy playing Civilization on my PC, it seems that ants have taken up civilization within my room. Signs that I need to start tidying up soon, which is probably a good idea, since I'm probably expecting guests sometime in the near future. It's kinda amazing and worrying at the same time, how much stuff I've allowed myself to accumulate and pile up. Probably need to have a more systematic way to store my stuff. Not having my own private space is kinda troublesome, but I probably can find a workaround somehow, I think.

Too many things to do and too little things getting done, probably a good idea to put gaming aside for the time being...

3rd oct - new considerations?

Maybe I should get a part time job over the weekends. It's not like I'm really using the time productively. Rather than spending more money, maybe I should convert the time to gaining relevant experience and/or making money instead.

Will I be able to juggle it all without burning out thou?

1st Oct - absence makes the heart grow fonder?

I certainly hope so. Just when I'm about the strike the 1st month off the calender, the date of her return is pushed back by 1 month. From the company's point of view it doesnt quite make sense to let her return in December and return again in February for Chinese New Year, so yea. Can totally understand why, but still a bummer nevertheless.

On the bright side, promised that I might be able to let her sample some of the products I intend to sell, so that gives me an additional month to tinker around. I'm probably going to have to start experimenting soon. Got to get all the cards out of the way and decide if I'm ever going to complete the cosplay...
