At long last...


Important milestone that I want to record, but too tired now to write much.

So screenshots instead.

That's the question


Last day of my break.

The first five days break was for the wedding and the activities with in-laws. Not my kind of relaxing break.

Then the unexpected illness, which caused me to be bedridden for the two days in between my breaks.

Which also turned my second five days break, the supposingly all relax and chill out break, into a recovery time-out.

Twelve days away from work. If only it was in the way I wanted it to be.

Alas, such is my life.


Initially planned to watch all the Star Wars episodes during the two breaks, but ended up only managed to watch the first four.

Really don't know why people are crazy about Star Wars, it's just okay for me.

Managed to get my character in World of Warcraft to max level of 110. Getting to max level is easy, completing all the quests is the never ending part, something that I have never managed to do all my years playing this game.

Still haven't unlocked flying for the latest two expansions, and still haven't tried the demon hunter class. Don't think I will have time for either now that my breaks are over.

Oh well.


Anyway, slacker extraordinaire is ready to go back to work.

To shave or not to shave? That's the question.

心的频道:新年第一天


疲累。 不喜欢,但也一点都不新鲜的感觉。

原本只是想要起床和老婆仔说声新年快乐,然后再睡回,但起床后脑子就静不下来了。

翻来覆去半小时后放弃,很无奈的起身,知道今天又会是疲累的一天。

早知道就干脆和老婆仔和两个瓜一同去吃印度烧饼,共度些家人时光,唉…

*****

新的一年,新的开始?

算了吧,新年也不过是一天,和昨天一样的一天。

真的要改变,什么时候都可以开始。

日期也不过是记录时间的一个公式而已。

*****

这次忧郁症比较严重点,所以我现在对什么都悲观消沉。

满满的负能量,不是适合和人接触交流的时候。

加上还是咳嗽不停,还是有那么多浓浓的黄痰。

至少不再需要曲缩成一团来减少腰背的疼痛了。

有些东西只有自己懂,有些苦只有自己知。

*****

还没有预定六月的羽球场。

还没有呈交上司要的整年报告。连写都还没有开始写,反正都是无谓。

还有那从博士文凭变成硕士文凭的论文要做的修改。真的应该是最后一次了…

还有那些还没有看的信件堆积在桌上。

还没有为电脑文件做备份保存。

有许多要做的事,有重要的、有琐碎的。

但今天我要过得清闲、悠闲。

就看看书、看看戏、写写东西、玩玩电脑游戏。可以的话,睡睡觉。

如果新的一年的第一天真的有什么特别的话,那我要用我喜欢的方式去过。

2017 in numbers


Last day of the year.

My thought at this very moment is: what a shitty year! And nothing to look forward to in the next year...

Yea, I am in depression, as well as physically sick.

Thought I had received the worst salary increment ever in my career last year, well, this year proved it wrong and set a new low. For the first time in my career I am seriously thinking about leaving the department.

Health is deteriorating. I am getting old, I know.


125 blog entries, no surprise there. This is the 10th year in a row. It's called consistency and discipline.

166 days of commute to ulu place recorded, which covered 16683.7 kilometres, giving an average of 100.5 kilometres per day.

80 petrol filling recorded. My 10.5 years MyVi is doing an average of 15.2 kilometre per litre of petrol, on the low side of the normal range.

37 days of worked till overtime-worthy late. Down from 45 days last year, a healthy trend.

13 days of leave taken.

64 badminton sessions attended, out of 87 that happened. 73.6% attendance rate, much better than last year.

36 tabletop gaming sessions held, up from 20 last year. A combination of 16 board and card games (including expansions) played. The most sessions since the beginning of this tabletop game group. =)

25 novels read, down from 33 last year. 14.6 days for a book, my goodness! I am getting slower and slower every year! =( 

40, 13, 10, 8, for my own reference.


Happy New Year dear reader, wish you a 2018 as you like it!

行尸走肉


年头一场病开始,年尾也要生病结束,真的是勾叉零蛋三角形!

在忙完了,终于可以享受清闲、好好休息玩乐的时候,就病了。

真的是命贱到…

勾叉零蛋四角形!


昨天看完医生回到家后就像死尸那样瘫痪在床上。

从那时一直到今天早上之间只离开床三次:晚餐,冲凉,宵夜。

头昏脑涨、头重脚轻、全身酸痛,连走下楼都没有把握那种。

真的感觉像废人。


今天还是头昏脑涨,但至少没有全身酸痛了。

可是开始咳嗽,而且一咳嗽就腰背部肌肉疼痛。

真是莫名其妙的啦!怎么咳嗽会和腰背肌肉有关的?

还是大多数时间瘫死在床上,真不明白为何医生会觉得我今天可以上班,坚持只给我昨天一天的病假?


真的,健康最重要,其它都是次要。

除非你很有钱,没有人会二十四小时随传随到服侍照顾你的。

都是好好照顾自己的健康啦!

不要陷入虚弱到需要别人照顾的窘境。

身心同一


今天是五天假的最后一天。

很惨。

早上一开手机就收到同事朋友的即时短讯,问我是不是还在病假?

什么病假啦?我拿了两天年假啦!

真是的。

下午,心里开始接受那明天要上班了的残酷事实,超烂的感觉。

身体也随着抗拒反应,开始不舒服。

到了傍晚就病了,感冒喉咙痛,鼻水流个不停。

唉,真的是身心同一。

像我的腹肌一样,很团结。

应该是被那位同事朋友诅咒到咯,讲我生病…

乌鸦嘴,哼!

Not the usual break


Fourth day of the five days break.

This is not my usual rest and relax break, it's actually rather happening as the in-laws are here. All of them, including the newly added member since the wedding two days ago, and her family. =)

Many activities planned, with the family photo shoot being the major thing today.

The thing is, with the number of people involved, and with some not as punctual as others, there are slips, delays, waiting and wasted time.

I actually started writing this blog in my room, ten minutes after the initial planned time of arrival at the studio. Yea, arrival time. -_-

There's a slip at the extended family side, so instead of continue to sit and wait like what I was doing forty minutes ago, I booted up my computer and started writing.

Don't get me wrong, my depression and antisocial tendency aside, I love the closeness of my in-laws. Very warm, very 'family'.

I consider myself an organised and punctual person, I like to know what's going to happen so I can plan accordingly. But these few days, to avoid frustration, I need to take things in a very generic, high level kind of way, and leave the details out because those are ever changing.

Like there would be a photo shoot some time today, which started about an hour later than planned. Like there would be a family activity some time yesterday, eventually it's a movie in the evening with part of the family members. Like there would be some people staying over yesterday night in certain room, which I eventually found out at midnight that I didn't have to sleep on the floor as initially planned.

As long as I expect a disruption to the usual routine, and that this is not the usual kind of leave where I rest and relax, it's all good. =P

The rest and relax break will be next weekend. I hope.
