Anyone been playing Snake?
Try harder coz my highest score now is 711. Yep, this happened in the last 24 hrs.

It's nice to have your ego stroked sometimes
I received a call from this guy at Philips today. I went for an interview abt a year..no a year and a half back. At the interview, he said he was impressed with my website and asked me to briefly run through the site and its contents. I'd like to think that I sucked during the interview. First of all, I was 15 minutes late. And I wasn't appropriately dressed. I wore a shirt, tie and pants, thinking that Philips designers are the corporate types. And because I was late, I was nervous during the interview.

But I received another call from them. This time to be interviewed by the HR manager. Met her, was led to her room, and she asked me to take a seat. And guess what? I choose HER SEAT! Damn, that was stupid. But she's cool abt the faux pas, and it proves to be a great ice breaker. I was relaxed and managed to answer intelligently. So I left, hoping to get an affirmative answer from them. But they sent me a letter saying that because of the economy, they can't hire me.

And today, the manager called me again, saying that he's interested in having me in his team. He said he was still like my work and would like to introduce me to some other people. I like working at Ogilvy. The thing is most of the time, I'm just creating graphics for content updating. There are interesting banners that require conceptual thinking. That kind of work is really fun. And the kind of work I really like doing, mini Flash microsites, are not that many.

So I guess if the package and challenge at Philips are good, I guess I'm ready to switch.

The Goddess Chaos: Wild, uncontrolled, unpredictable, crazed, represented by the color red and the element fire. Her only constant is that she's never constant. Prone to losing her considerable temple, but her attention span is so short that she rarely actually remembers to punish anyone. A complete hedonist.

I thought I could stay away from surfing design sites while on M.C. I did, I did! But only for 3 days. This link from wellvetted is one of my favourites, MoMA.

Wanna play?
I've been good at playing Snake that I think if anyone can beat my highest score of 630 shall get a free dinner treat. Game?

I read a post from this guy at a local bike forum...and his nickname was Beefy. He said since he was into bodybuilding, his friends gave him that nick. I was feeling bored, so I posted something like "Hey, saw your website. Very nice. http://www.beefy.com." A few hours later, I realised that the administrators of the site had removed my post. beefy.com is another porn site. Can't anyone have any fun no more? *sulks.

I'm 3 weeks off from work!
Just had a surgery done on me on Wednesday. Why, nothing major, just some minor surgery. Was injected with morphine (nice after effect) and was put to sleep. Now I know how it feels like when someone faints. Doctor said I should be fine after a week, though he said I should be feeling fine after the surgery, which sadly is not exactly true. I had to stay in the hospital and I requested to stay in the A ward. Nice indeed, with attached shower, TV with cable and nurses who'll attend to you with upmost courtesy. I stocked my books and movies, but still can't wait to just go out and enjoy the sun.

Just had a lovely cuppa outside Kino's bookshop at Taka today.
Nothing really, except that I took leave and was enjoying the 11 a.m. sun, away from my desk, away from my worries.
Just me and my thoughts and of course the mobile phone for last minute appointments and change of plans.
