Deadline

I F**king hate my endless workloadsss! Bloody deadlines! Period.

The word deadline first appeared as an American coinage that referred to the line around a military prison beyond which soldiers were authorized to shoot escaping prisoners.

According to Lossing's History of the Civil War (1868):

"Seventeen feet from the inner stockade was the 'dead-line', over which no man could pass and live."

This use is also found in Congressional records as early as 1864:

"The 'dead line', beyond which the prisoners are not allowed to pass."

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing - Jack Johnson

Just felt like reviving an old favorite.

Awesome artist that each time i hear him sing, life gets less bitchy. Heh.

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing 

You believed in superstitions 

Then maybe you'd see the signs  

The Lord knows that this world is cruel 

I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool 

Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you  

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 

Must I always be playing, playing your fool  

I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance 

But putting up with them Wasn't worth never having you  

Maybe you've been through this before 

But it's my first time so please ignore 

The next few lines cause they're directed at you  

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you 

I can't always be playing, playing your fool  

I keep playing your part 

But it's not my scene 

Want this plot to twist 

I've had enough mystery 

Keep building it up 

Then shooting me down 

But I'm already down  

Just wait a minute 

Just sitting, waiting 

Just wait a minute 

Just sitting, waiting  

Well, if I was in your position 

I'd put down all my ammunition 

I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long  

But Lord knows that I'm not you 

And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel 

Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do  

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you 

Must I always be playing, playing your fool  

No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you 

I can't always be playing, playing your fool

Fuh, I haven’t written in a while. Probably I’ve lost all intelligence and sentence connectors due to daily cataclysms. Tsk.

This post is to remind myself that I’ve a blog to express myself! Especially now I guess all visitors don’t drop over anymore unless those VIP ones.

Boring!!

Then again, thank the good lord I have myself a good company of colleagues and my woman who is always there to pick the shitty gloomy glob head me and turn me into a vibrant prima donna . Thank you, love.

As I am typing this, I am waiting for my princess to be done with her usual monthly I need to go facial therapy. I think it’s pointless and a waste of money! You’re pretty enough I would say.

Can’t believe that it has been a year plus for us both, through thickest and thinnest we battled and travelled and constantly baffled from all the odds but made it through. What can you say? Awesomee!

I miss Penang, my home, my Char Koay Teow, my Oh Chien, my Laksa, my Koay Kak and most of all my family. It has been a few months now since I last went back, work has been consuming all my time and emotions that each time whenever I am free I just want to lay back and relax not thinking nor doing anything. Sorry granny, I’ve been a bad bad grandson.

Anyways, I’LL SEE YOU SOON ENOUGH, ISLAND! Not to miss out my highly idiotic camaraderie’s whom I will be seeing soon as well. Thursday 8am’s my ride home, wooohoo!

Then again, a weekend without my MiMi will be awfully uneasy. Sigh. How I wish she’d have the time to go on a holiday with me soon enough, we have both not travelled together for some time now. Darn I miss those easier laid back days, last year we travelled to Bangkok x 2, Port Dickson, Melacca & Penang x 4 times together. YTD 2010 – NiL. But I promise we will go places once August takes place! I am sorry.

Today at work, we learned about ISO. So here’s the compliance, “what’s the provision?”

Me: Ermm, provision of property development services of residential, commercial, industrial , institutional property?

Boss: Good! Angel, what is the objectives we are to achieve from this ISO compliance?

Angel: Don’t know la! Let Justin alone learn can already la! He will teach me.

Me: True enough when people say ‘Monday’s a blue-ish day, Tuesday’s an alright day followed on by W-T-F day’.

I still cannot believe how time flies, I have been in my company for nearing 10 months now. I can still remember how excited I was to join not long ago only. It is a fast ride here, constantly pushed to the max in terms of physical and mental speed and force. Sometimes we crash, sometimes we fall but of all odds we always pick ourselves up in here and perform to our best because of passion and because of our promises to ourselves.

ANYWAYS, my no longer washboard abs are giving me bitch slaps now. Hungryyy!!! Is that woman done yet? Tsk. Bye all, will write very soon seeing how bored I might be in Penang without MiMi.
