Weekend Musing
Hmm... sitting at the same place, and at the same time, this weekend thingy is really hard on the butt man... sheesh... hard seating is like hard time, it makes time go sooo much slower.
Another weekend is more than half-way thru and the next few hours will see even the end of that in no time at all.
I am getting to know, and use, the Mac more. Somehow, its really easy to use, the software is cool, easy to use, and the interface is great. What is not so great it the keyboard. The keys seem to be spaced a tad too far, stretching out the fingers to reach the keys requires some getting use to. Perhaps it is also a function of the keyboard protector that I have on. But I suppose in one way or another, I better start getting use to it asap.
Tiger starts fast enough, and the applications all seem to load fast enough to allow me to want to use them. The little widgets are great too! The best thing is that all these applications all add up to an integrated whole, allowing me to easily listen to music, search for stuff on the web and type this blog at the same time. It is great! I am sure that there are more stuff to learn as I get to know more of this white-Mac. Ahhh... if all software and hardware were made this way!!!!

Sweeney's Weekend
Ahh... the weekend is around the corner again. This week has been one helluva week! Got stuff stuffed and boxes packed. But I am going to enjoy the weekend as far as I can before the madness starts again on Monday! It's gonna be mad!
Week has been good on the exercise front: THREE times this week, and Saturday's another session! Can feel the difference in the body. But the question topmost on my mind now is am I getting into that vain thing. I would like to think not, but imperceptibly, I am always thinking of having that next exercise fix, that next series of weights, reptitions and triceps etc. Yesterday's run was good, especially so when it was on 'company' time and the company itself wasn't half as bad! The pace was fairly blistering, slowed donw right at the end and couldn't keep it up, really must think about how to improve the pacing.
The other achievement was the incline thingamajiggy on the treadmill. Again, I am trying to 'trick' my body with a mixture of exercises different from the past. The two yoga postures were also very good- never knew how many muscles one has until one tries yoga!
It's almost midnight here and I have done my household chores.

Waiting, waiting, waiting
Here I am sitting in a canteen waiting for others, such is life! Got 1.5hours to burn on a Sunday. Thankfully, there's a FOC connection here. Good stuff! Surprised that one can still get FOC items around, even if it is just signals, or maybe it should be the next precious commodity in the world.
Good thing about Mac OS and Safari then is that one can surf with less worry than XP. Frankly, the need for XP seems to be dimishing by the day. Hahah... seems that only the significant other needs to have XP. Oh yeah, and one more thing before I 'SHIFT' all blame.... the need to ensure that office documents done in Mac can be read back in XP! Guess I have to 'find' some time to really suss out the platform and to ensure that the MacBook is not DOA!, unlike Stans!
Hmm.. that leaves really little time to write a longish-post, even though there 'SEEMS' to be 1.5hrs of sitting around twiddling thumbs. Okies, better go and do something else to ensure that the whole Macbook is working.

Sweeney's Stuck
Hmmm... seems that things have begun to turn a corner and maybe, just maybe, it might begin to look better.
There are options and avenues that have not been there before and the dawn seems near.
As for how the morning will turn out, I guess it will have to depend on what options I take from now.
Better go out of the door quickly, I have a meeting (yawn) to attend and people to meet, decisions to make and tid-bits to add to the calories...

New Toy
Hey, got a new toy to play with. It's a Macbook. Guess the choice to buy one was motivated by the ability to run XP on the bootcamp platform. But now that I have a few days playing with it, bootcamp to run XP doesn't seem so hot anymore now. Especially since now that I found out that my powerpoint and word document can run on Tiger. The need seems to be diminishing by the day. However, still am trying to come to grips with the interface and the organising philosophy behind Tiger. One day, I will be able to master this... and I figure this day isn't too far off.
On the work front, things seems to be slowly changing for the better. Hope the positive vibes and turn of events keep coming. I could do with a break from the long run of negativity since July. Fingers crossed.
Ok, gotta go, this one is a short entry. Gotta go catch some zzzzzs, have been keeping a fair number of late nights recently.

Another mid-week hump to overcome! Sheesh... things are really getting thick like hay-koh... let's just try to hang in there and get it over and done with.
Hmm... observe a strange phenomenon this morning on the mrt, a lady putting on makeup! Right smack in the middle of a fully-morning-rush train carriage.... with nary a blink! This might be the same person whom I saw sometime last week, but cannot tell, I don't usually pay attention to people on the train, but would much rather prefer staring at my newspaper or book. From when I boarded till Kallang, she was happily prettying herself!
Ok... back at work now and the hump still exists! How am I going to get over it? Come back at the end of the day to find out.

Hitting the Gym
Wow... talk about a serious case of the Monday blues! Man... today was really hard on the mind! Couldn't concentrate on the work sia...
But, the good thing is that at least, I managed to get some gym time during lunch. No running, but at least the upper body got a bit of a workout over lunch... which incidentally was a sandwich washed down with water. But 4-ish managed to get out of the office to see a contractor, and got a cup of coffee.
Gym was great. Arms tired but good. Hopefully one day, I'll get there some upper body strength worth the name! Defined as being able to do at least 3 pullups unassisted. Don't hold your breath, this might take some time yet!
Tomorrow is yet another day, and damn... not looking forward to it man!

Another Week of the same shyt!
Welcome to the end of another shytty week. Hopefully things will begin to look up soon. Get it out of the way....
Have not been able to get to the gym much these days. Hoping to do so later and work out. Most dangerous thing now is that once the exercise stops, the eating starts. Sheesh, must really get the head checked! Who knows, if over-eating can be classifed as a medical disorder, maybe can use Medisave! hahaha...
But so far so good, tummy's got from one big pack to one big block! Who am I kidding, its gone to a BIG BLOB! Weight's the same, but the proportion of blubber/ muscle has definitely changed place! Sigh... running gotten to be shytty too! Slow and plodding... Hopefully can get to work out more often soon, maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel soon. Gotta pump up the execise to stop the eating.
