dragging myself off the bed every morning. My 10 days break ended when i started to resume work on the 2nd. Office been very quiet, with only a few of us working. Heaps of them are still on holidays, while some are working on site.

Been slacking a lot since my boss is still on holidays in the UK. Coming to work on time and left early. A few of them went off to play golf early today, but i have to stay in office to gain my working hours.

Receptionist's mobile phone been stolen yesterday. After a long discussion, we concluded that there must be someone coming into the office during lunchbreak and stole her phone. There were only a few of us in the office, and except the receptionist, the rest of us are all engineers, so we believe that neither of us are capable of committing such minor crime. Also, there were no contractors reporting in yesterday, so now have to be very careful with my belongings - hopefully nothing will happen since my desk is far away from where the main entrance is.

Haven't been driving my car since tuesday. But i did start it every day so that the battery wont run dead. Oh and recently, i did a lot of shopping off ebay.

Bought these stuffs after spying on ebay for the past 2 weeks:

A new digital camera for AD$441 altogether (RRP AD$649)
Canon IXUS 800IS with 3 years limited warranty.

A new 1GB Mini SD card for AD$34.75 altogether with 1 year warranty
**For adeline's nokia 6280 since she always complaint about not having enough space to save her never-ending TONNES of datas

A new 1GB SanDisk SD card for AD$24.99 altogether with 5 years limited warranty
**For my new camera which comes with 16MB SD card only


Last month, i bought all these after spying on ebay for almost 1 year:

A new 320GB external hard disk with casing and connections
AD$159 altogether with 2 years warranty

Samsung car charger (new) for AD$0.99 + AD$4.99 shipping. 1 year warranty


After buying all the above stuffs which i need + paying all the debts that i owe to God, i am left with a tiny bit of money to survive for this month. Next pay will be in 3 weeks, and for the next 2 pays, i will have to save them!!

NO MORE EBAY FOR THE NEXT 2 MONTHS!

But come to think of it seriously, i do need the camera to ease my work, esp when i have to take photos of structures of ships and loading conditions when i go on site. Also, the charger is useful and comes in handy. Only the external HDD is considered an extra because it only fits in saving my downloaded movies and series. And somemore its a great deal and i wont want to miss it. ARGH.

SIEN. Looking forward to no holidays, hectic weeks ahead as big projects are coming in real tight starting next week.
