Bitten By The Bug

I've been bitten by the facebook bug.
frens have been asking me to sign up and all... saying how fun it is and how intereactive, etc.
but i've always declined coz i hardly update on friendster anyway...
so wasn't keen on another social networking thingy.

but boredom has taken its toll on me and i gave in...
i signed up.
and so during my 12hr shift i'm, quoting peter, "grinding on facebook".
chalking up munny to buy food for my (fluff) pet, gaining xp on mobster,
imcreasing points for my vampire and zombie, superpoking frens to unlock new actions...

but i must admit dat tho the interface is rather messy unlike friendster's, it is rather addictive.
but i figure dat i'll be less regular once i get back to sg and b busy w new games for the pc and 360.
games awaiting for me are bioshock, medal of honor: airborne (both pc) and fifa 08 (360).
not too sure when guitar hero 3 is coming out but i've seen the songlist on the game and i dun know most of the songs.
at least i know a good number of the songs on GH2.

i'm off now... gona go watch a machinima mini-series created based on MOHA. looks interesting.

My Apologies

After posting and reading through my previous entry,
i realized i've talked abt mythbusters liao...
hahaha... my apologies.

goes to show how my brain is being killed doing nothing all day.
minimal brain activity.

sorry... signing off...
ciao!!

A 2nd Chance?

I've been informed of the most wonderful news.
many thanks to john for letting me know...

and now, i have the chance to catch "The Phantom of the Opera" at the Princess Theatre in melbourne no less.
and the price of the ticket is reasonable too... A$107 for a stall seat.

all dat is left is to wait till i know the exact dates i will be in melbourne.

i've emailed the office to send a replacement coz i'm somewhat getting restless ...
and i wana be back in sg asap so dat i can be around for interviews shd chevron decide to call me for one.

but the office is having problems finding someone to replace me... so it seems i will be stuck here till 15 oct.
the day i smell freedom and return to civilisation.

in the meantime, i've been spending my afternoons watching the mythbusters.
i'm sure most of u know the show...
i brought w me 4 seasons of the show... and i'm halfway through season 4 now...
it's been interesting watching everything from the pilot episodes to season 4, noting how the show has changed.
season 5 is currently airing in sg, think it's airing season 6 in the US.

but adam savage, one of the hosts, never fails to crack me up with his antics.
and of coz there's juz abt every geek's dream girl - kari byron.
looks like it's time to get hold of seasons 5 and watever is there of 6.

i've also just finished watching this jap drama, jotei, on crunchyroll.
interesting show... u can find the drama sypnosis here.

dat's how i've been spending my afternoons and evenings while on shift...
in addition to all dat, my usual blog reading... and email checking...

and before i sign off,
here's wishing a happy birthday to ppl who have recently celebrated or going to celebrate their birthdays:
jiahui, travis, angeline, michelle ngern, serene, and marilyn.
juz realized, looking at the list of names, none of them read my blog... or at least i duno they read it.

ohwell...
wat i have written, i have written :)
guess dat's all for now... hope to see everyone when i get back...

meantime, take care everyone... seems to be a gastric flu bug going ard...
i know of 2 ppl down w it already.

Countdown...

The flare at the platform was out yesterday.
the flare is wad burns off the excess gas dat the platform vents out due to excessive pressure buildup in the extraction process.
anyhoo...what it all means is dat as of yesterday, the platform shutdown works has more or less officially begun.

which i guess i can start my approximate 28 day countdown...
with today being 1 down, 27 to go...

cant wait till the day the client says dat everything's a wrap and i can go back to civilisation.
which will den mean going down to the qantas office to get my ticket changed.
going to melbourne... woohoo!!

i prob have mentioned it b4... i cant even remember and am too lazy to go trackback to check.
so if i've mentioned melb b4, sorry ppl... ;P

as my msn nick says, mythbusters have been my bestest buddies for the last few days.
been watching them for abt 1/2 of my working shift time which amounts to abt 6hrs.
with another 1 hr attributed to having lunch and dinner, mayb lesser, since i eat fairly fast.
hahaha...

the rest of the shift time is spent walking abt, stepping out in the sun to get warm
coz it can get fairly cold up on the bridge...
doesn't help dat i'm sitting right under the aircon as well.

so yea... i've got 4 seasons of mythbusters (thanks again, peter!)
have finished season 1, in the middle of season 2.
as i watch the episodes, i realized dat i've actually managed to diligently follow most of the first 2 seasons coz they all seem v familiar.

i think it's seasons 3 and 4 dat i've missed most episodes on tv.
so this is a good chance for me to catch up.
was also checking out the discovery website to see if they put up their filming locations and schedule...
so fans of the show can follow... coz on a few episodes, a group of fans made appearances on the show, tho v far from the action.
but how cool is dat? watching the guys of ur fav show filming and carrying out the experiments to prove or debunk the myths.

so since i was checking out the discovery website, i went to see if they had nice tees i could get...
i was hoping for one dat said "busted" but they've only got "plausible" :(
guess dat's a good thing as well... since i've already spent some on my tees and hoodie which have arrive, by the way.
and are sitting at peter's house, awaiting my arrival back home.


cant wait till i get off the barge...
as one of the mates who works the same shift as me said "the sound of the helicopter is the sweetest u can hear when u are going home."
i cant wait for dat day to come...
till den... it's lots of movies, games, mythbusters, cartoons and prayer...
hoping and praying i'll get the job at chevron...

more on the job applications another day...
