Its been way too long. And its the same old stories.

Work has been a killer. The load has increased to levels never before seen in my 15 years with this outfit. The staff have been working long hours for the past few weeks. One begins to start wondering if the dangling of a carrot with higher incentive payments will work beyond a certain threshold of workload. I pray it does.

Thankfully Eng Ho has been back from Australia for a short holiday and his timing has been perfect. We have been discussing with the computer vendors are waiting for final approvals for upgrading works. The challenge appears to be to complete the basic changeover while he is still here.

A new staff is due to start on Monday. Another guy comes in on Thursday. Pray that they both turn up. But till then, its madness. Two of the guys have been working today, and I guess all of us will also be working throughout Sunday.

Been preoccupied with work that its been many many days since chatted with anyone on YM or anywhere else. Did meet up with sf and madnoh over tea quite a few days back. She appears to be a nice lady.

As for golf, season is ending soon, and am still around the 400+ rankings. A top 200 finish is definitely out of the question. Football is time consuming. So many players, so many positions, so many injuries and suspensions to take note of.

On the bright side, finally managed to install the CD Writer back home. Burned my first CD..hurray. Get to play them at office now.

J continues to look for a job now. Looks like something may come up soon. Keeping fingers crossed. The kids are a joy to be with. D is as cute and mischevious as usual. K has begun to stand. Its a matter of weeks before she starts to walk..and run. As it is, she crawls very very fast now.

Its already 5pm. Time to clear up a bit of work, and head home. Will be coming in early sunday. So much to be done, so little time.
