[Work] VSIT

This project is in nearly all aspects different from the previous one. And as such, the learning curve has been a steep climb. Have been mentally stretched and forced to adapt. Am still alive so guess that's as much as I can ask for. Been a while since I put pics up, so here are some:

Pic: Cindy & Sandy - 2 great ladies from the QA team

It's late at night, everyone's disgruntled and weary. So a wrong word can easily errupt waves of suppressed anger and frustration.

And it's typical to see folks lash out at each other with bags of junk food (Mamee vs Twistees). It's a deadlock.... until Paul whips out the Cadbury sweets and whacks me with an unfair disadvantage. Whatever I did, guess I deserved it anyway

[Msia] Monsoon Season

I'm in Msia this time of the year to experience the monsoon season.

The occassional flash flood and getting stuck at the client's office is part of it all. Not forgetting too the angry grey clouds that suddenly gang up in the early afternoon - giving everyone a foreboding of a magnificent downpour soon to be unleashed.

Wonder if we should start a moonsoon festival where politicians and lame community leaders are scrubbed clean (it's not only ritually symbolic but probably fulfilling in some primal sadistic sense - think of those unrefined scrubs that were used to wash shoes back in primary and secondary school days); failing which just chucked into Sg. Gombak along with all the rubbish in it that they have a stronger kinship to then their fellow Msians.

So a belated thanks to Merdeka #49, and heck - it's always nicer here when it rains violently.

[Work] Tooosday

I cannot believe I actually had to check the date today to see if it was Monday or Tuesday :(

It's that kind of project cycle mode right now... VSIT, Conversion Regression, Integrated Testing, Frantic Rescheduling and all ...

And still hooked to it all, but if you say I cannot complain ... I am still allowed to whine right?
