Somehow I think I’m living life on the soft side, or as the Chinese says, \u5403\u8f6f\u996d. I’m officially in a holiday mood as I write this blog entry while my wife (who’s just right beside me) bashes away at a PCI DSS audit report… I think she doesn’t even notice me blogging.<\/p>\n
I’m finally taking a real break from work with a weeks’ leave between Christmas and New Year. Not that I’m the first around here, but hopefully not the last. I spent the last working hours of 2009 actually back in office unpacking, installing and repacking servers each fully jam-packed with twelve 3.5″ SAS disks. They’re really quite heavy – weighing up to 30 kilos each. SAS disks are considerably heavier than SATA ones. Somehow, weight does<\/em> matter? Shrugs. So if you think I’m really having a good time at work everyday, now you know it’s not always the case.<\/p>\n But before I let myself run wild for the last few days of 2009, I’ll write a little about work… I’ve been at this job for a little over a year. It’s been pretty nice working around here and I’ve surely learnt a great deal. My colleagues are fantastic – I’ve got a great PM and one thing that touched me was that the sales folks gave us Christmas presents every year! Or at least for the two Christmas I’ve been through. I got cookies from Vivien last year and Winnie gave us Royce chocs this time round… I ate about half the box before I brought the remainder home. Oops, sorry dear.<\/em><\/p>\n I’ve also gotten really lucky to have won lucky draw prizes at all the company dinners – I got a Dell Inspiron the last year and a Sony PSP Go this year. The Dell has been put to good use, but the PSP is not really my kind of toy, so it’s going to my sister if<\/em> she behaves, or<\/em> maybe eBay.<\/p>\n I’m packing my schedules up for the next week to catch up with some looooooooong lost friends, some of whom I’ve completely lost contact with since we left primary school. Thanks to the power of the Internet and social networking, I’m finally meeting them again after fifteen years! Unbelievable.<\/p>\n And of course in my free time I shall religiously clean the house which has been neglected for the past two months. I also need to learn how to cook more variety of dishes. I’ve been preparing fish dishes so far.<\/p>\n Well, that’s the life of a working house husband. At least for now.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somehow I think I’m living life on the soft side, or as the Chinese says, \u5403\u8f6f\u996d.
