Norah Jones is so cool.
I wanna play the piano like Vanessa Carlton.
I wish I had John Mayer's guitar skills.
I had goosebumps when Coldplay performed.
This year's Grammys was a real treat! I should have recorded it!
Well anyway, Lily was on MC on Monday. She had been sick since Saturday actually, and wanted to go see the doctor then but did not. I guess Sunday's Family Day really did her in. After work I did not go to CIO's Farewell Dinner. Just didnt feel like it, dont know why (Norah Jones singing in the background: Dont know why... I didnt come.....) Went to the gym instead, ran and went for Deborah's class. I met Chester Wee there, a cadet I once knew in OCS. He's working in Deloitte Touche and it was his first time at BodyPump. Heh real funny man.
Work is getting boring. On Sunday night the operator called to inform me of a job abend. Fuck, I dont even know what the program does. Nor has not briefed my yet, she and Beth coded the mainframe programs. The operator said they called Nor a gazillion times but she did not pick up the phone. I tried to understand the program by asking Leong to read the program to me over the phone, but that didnt help. Duh. And I dont think going back to the office would be of any help either. So I called Nor again and again and finally her hubby picked it up. I just said "Can I speak to Nor please" and then I heard Nor in the background "Who's that?" and the reply was a muffled "Zul lah". Hahahaha. Sheeesh. They might be in the middle of something when I called, know what I mean? Oh man..
Well anyway she KNOWS that she has not explained to me the programs, so she went back to the office to resolve it. About 235am she SMS "Could you please drop by my place at Bt Batok before you go to work in the morning please?". Now this, I find very puzzling. Why would she want me to go from Pasir Ris to Bt Batok, then back to Toa Payoh, all before 830am? She can always explain to me on what to do over the phone (she's on leave Monday). However I receive another SMS from her at 630 am "Never mind, I'll explain to you over the phone." Spent the entire day running adhoc jobs to resolve it.
Didnt do much at work on Tuesday, I was just consolidating the many DOs and invoices I've placed all over the desk, and tying up some loose ends on all the contracts. The mobile van had been sent to the workshop cos the aircon was leaking and the battery was flat, so we did not have to rush the mobile program bit on logon procedure. Went to Macritchie for a run with Shih Wee after work, damn, I clocked 27:40 mins running from the actual starting line to the finish. Should I run in this Saturday's Cross-Country?
Met up with Mervin after the run, had coffee at KPT, we asked Poh to join us but he gave us the usual excuse i.e. either wife or baby. I'm on leave tomorrow. Got lots to do though. Going to listen to Vanessa Carlton now and then to sleep. Peace.

Just, trying to... get by...
Just a boy, just an, ordinary boyyy
But he was looking.. to the sky"
