Awful...
Come let me share with you all a very interesting conversation I had today with Miss Suedenim.
W: So how is work?
T: Awful...
W: Really??
T: ...awful lot of money! ha-ha :D
W: What! *proceeds to abuse me mercilessly*
p/s: payday is near, which is a much-welcomed piece of good news to help me get through the week.

At the rate I'm going, this screenshot is possibly the most accurate way to illustrate the best 20+ minutes of my day.Apologies for the lack of updates. Am slowly being consumed by the big colourful carousel that is my job. Am calling it a carousel because of its repetitive nature, like duh (wtf). And finally, I fully realise what a grey world most of us live in. How very sad. Till then.

July has been alright
My first week at work was quite steady I’d say. The environment's great*, the people there are great and the food's cheap (albeit the food court’s less than stellar condition). Training has been a real bore though (photo above explains it all, go figure). Our training is ending real soon and we'll be thrown right into the 'arm-pits of doom' but heck it is still way better than being bored, bring it on.
Moving on to the least appreciated side of my work, the parking and the travelling part isn’t as great as the parking’s horribly difficult and expensive while the traffic around the area is equally horrible as well. I guess one can’t have too many plus points in one go. Well I guess that's all the updates I have, we shall see how the rest of the month goes.
*p/s - ah yes, the environment, my workplace is one of a kind as the whole interior is painted with colours which resemble a kindergarten or some day care centre. I had the confusion of my life when I first went into the office (considering the bland greyness of my previous workplace). But it was a welcoming sight nonetheless.

The DSLR
I guess it's high time to properly feature the DSLR I normally use for my photos while gloating with some of my photos. Contrary to popular belief, it's not new and it's not mine hence the slightly worn out look, (which I think makes the camera look even better) which makes me a photographer without a camera (irony much). Warning; entry may appear ‘nerdy’ or ‘techy’ to some.
Equipment: IXUS 950 IS (yes, it's a compact)
Overall, I absolutely love love love using this combination. Plus, it’s even better when coupled with a flash gun; it’s a proper awesome photography kit with proper awesome photo capturing abilities. But it’s also mighty expensive. I don’t know the exact cost but I’m sure it’s a number with 5 figures. Now do you know why I’m a photographer without a camera?

*p/s: escalation – now that I’m so used to the 5D, I feel inferior when using an inferior camera. This is the escalation many photographer are suffering from.

Genting again
Was up in Genting yet again. This time I was with a group of friends and we stayed for a night, proper fun it was. Me and the girl got conked out big time thanks to some silly drinking game. It was a killer of a game as we’ve managed to empty half the bottle in less than 30 minutes. Scary stuff.
On another note, I have to say, spending 2 days there isn't the best thing one can do as there is a limited amount of things to see and do. How much entertainment can one find while up on a hill anyway? (to the nitpickers; I know Genting’s not on a hill, shut it) Furthermore, eating isn't a smart option as the food up there is plainly mediocre and priced to match the altitude. Best to not spend too much time up there. City of Entertainment my foot.
p/s: girl left for Aussie today.
Honey
As promised, here's a photo of pooch #2; Honey the Schnauzer. She doesn't look much like a Schnauzer but I promise she is as Schnauzer-y as she can get (according to what my girl says). Every time I come across the ubiquitous line, "honey I'm home", I can only imagine being greeted by this little one. It should be a federal offence to not fall for such adorableness.
I have to admit that this photo is laden with some major distracting elements but I also like how The Curly One blends into the much "distracting" background. What say you?
On another note, my McAfee SecurityCenter is expiring really soon and the reminders are horrifyingly disturbing as they tend to pop out almost every hour or so. And I expect the reminders to be even more annoying after the expiry date. Will be switching to Kaspersky soon (just as a precaution; a Windows OS without a proper antivirus is like wearing a skirt without an underwear beneath it) and ultimately, a Mac by the end of this year. All fingers crossed.
