Weekly Recap: Week 37 (15 - 21 Sep 2014)

Another busy week, and this time I didn't manage to follow almost half of the pre-scheduled task list. Sigh...

I skipped two piano practice sessions, as well as reviewing my Japanese Hiragana. But there's always a silver lining. I saw a question posted in Quora that somehow related to the situation I am in now. I will not dwell on the detail of it - what I can share is that the amount of effort we are willing to do is equivalent to how much we want it. When we procrastinate, or put things off, it only means that deep deep down, we don't really want it after all.

Seems simple, doesn't it?

Office life has been fun as usual. Although almost all of the team members had to work late on Thursday evening due to the planned go-live on Monday (today). I left office at around 11PM since I was too tired and hungry already while few others stayed until 3AM. Crazy huh?

On a more fun topic, my friend, SocialBee got me a free ticket to F1 Brunch Party at Marina Bay Sands and as the name suggested, it was held in the afternoon 1PM til 7PM, and yes it WAS a party, which means, dark dimmed room, with flashy lighting, and noisy music.
I wanted to go since I was expecting good music, but it didn't turn out as expected - as rarely it does... But then I had a great catch up time with SocialBee, so it was not for naught.

Oh, I'd like to start a new sub-topic here - Office Doodle!
There is this white board near my work area, and for the past few months, me and office mates often doodle on it on various theme. Usually it is me who draws the most on it, and now we are on our third blank white board, so I thought I should document it. And here goes the first Office Doodle:
This doodle is inspired by the Indonesian phrases we were teaching our fellow Filipino office mate, and the drawing of the guy is the cartoon-ish version of him.
The closest English translation would be: "What are you looking at?! Coz I'm handsome?!"
These phrases are usually used in joke-y manner among Indonesians, so no hard feelings there!
