My Office II

Lo and behold.

Not long after posting the pictures of my office, we underwent a slight renovation, replacing the previous Barco screens with NEC's newly-launched MultiSync X461UN LCD.

Sized at 46-inches each, we have 16 of them arranged in a 4 X 4 matrix.

taken just before completion

And to top if off, we've got CNN news delivered to us all day.

Of course, during the first week, we get to watch ALL other channels free.

*mwuahahahaaa*

Fatique

work ended after 7pm as usual.
then my new partner, KF, and i headed off for dinner at Botak Jones near my place.
even at that hour, the place was packed with diners and queues were unbearably long.

while i was making my way home afterwards around 9pm, i got to know that Adrian and another colleague of mine, Stanley, and his girlfriend are nearby viewing some units, so i went back to join them.

mr ma returned from work and we joined them to view 2 units nearby, then brought them home. chitter chatter. by the time they headed off, 'twas already 11plus.

we took turns to wash up, do the laundry, and dilly-dally a little.

by the time i hit the sack it was close to 1am.

whilst mr ma was still setting up his water feature gadget.

though i'm spending ZERO time on my computer,
and i've moved SO MUCH nearer to office,
it still seems i'm getting less sleep.

*yawn*

i think i need coffee again today.

Final touches

since we got our keys on 3rd July, time whizzed past as arrangements were made for cleaning, painting, geomancer visit, deliveries, and more cleaning.

we've had the final geomancer visit on 14th this month, in the short span of 10 days from key collection, and now we've officially taken ownership of the house.
after the deliveries of our purchases - the wardrobe, washing machine and sofa, we'll just be short of moving in our belongings to complete the relocation.

the house-warming dates have been confirmed as follows:

Saturday, 1st August 3pm till late
Friends, Colleagues, Classmates

Sunday, 1st August 3pm till late
Family

Re-appearance

after a short disappearance,

first, i'd like to announce a piece of good news.

we're getting our keys on 3rd July.

pretty last minute (AGAIN), i must say.

that's like TOMORROW!

just informed by HDB yesterday.

we rushed over for the 2nd inspection of the flat,

took the measurements we needed for purchasing the wardrobe, storeroom shelving, sofa and TV console.

phew.

anyways, i'll post up some pictures of the flat over in the other blog shortly.

28 June 2009

mr ma's wisdom tooth extraction was scheduled at 10am.

i promised to accompany him because he's SO afraid.

so i caught some sleep after work,

but i never managed to wake up in time. oops.

29 June 2009

a relatively boring day.

we popped by Ikea and Giant in Tampines after brunch.

headed back to his place to make him a dinner of poached salmon and mashed potato.

caught Night at the Museum 2, had a supper of Premier Sirloin Steak with onion rings and seasonal veggies at Char-grill's and went to bed.

that night, my brother returned from Bangkok with a truckload of purchases.

30 June 2009

we spent the entire afternoon scouring through the lanes of Sungei Kadut, for furniture of course.

we're still short of a wardrobe, the sofa and TV console.

my mom made us dinner,

and we settled down to watch Pinocchio afterwards.

mr ma fell asleep halfway through AGAIN

1 June 2009

went by SPC after late late late breakfast.

passed the ON and Piperlime spree stuff to the girls in exchange for my F21 loot and Peanut Buttercups! *smacks lips*

checked out Sheng Siong and dropped my brother off at the physician to get his arm problem fixed and ferried my mom back to NTUC in Tampines mall.

that was when we got a call from HDB, rushed over to Clementi for 2nd inspection bla-bla-bla.

had our dinner at Char-grill's again, but i ordered Lambloin this time and mr ma took the Mexican Grilled Chicken.

oh yes, i've forgotten to mention about this physician i visited and blogged about some time back in May.

he's really good!

so if u've any bones and joint problems, he's the one to look for.

a couple of days ago...

a certain "someone" upset me.

and to make it up (so he thought),

he bought me some flowers.

but of course,

i wasn't after the flowers or any gifts.

i hope he realizes it by now.

My Office...

i vaguely remember promising Sel that i'll post some pictures of my office.

taa-daa!

i usually hog the right-most corner seat in the third row.

at the far end, in the centre is our boss' office and on the left (with the light on) is our mini-pantry.

the actual pantry is outside the office.

there were some really nice pictures from Gerald after the renovation a few months back, but i seemed to have deleted the email away. oops.

the huge-ass Barco tiled video wall with 12 screens on it, of which most are for monitoring and one is for CNA.

that explains why i refuse to watch news at home after work

and last but not least, this is my desk, with three 26" monitors & three phones.

as messy as the one at home, unfortunately

on the right, is our server farm.

can't post any pictures for that, so u can actually visit our company website and go through the video tour.

basically, everywhere else in the office is decked in the corporate colors of Black and Red.

the corridors to the server farms are lit with blue lights.

and because we run 24/7, we used to have all lights switched on/off manually all day long.

but we switched to the ones with motion sensors some time back for efficiency's sake.

the entire place is really cool, if u ask me.

Hush hush now..

I can hear...
The clattering of utensils in the kitchen.
Mr Ma's making breakfast for me!

Hush hush.
Let's go to sleep for now.
