Work sucks!

Project fatigue. Doing ALOT but effort and time spent are not translating to actual work being done. Work I deem non-productive such as contractual issues, variation claims, reviewing legal documents etc.

Looking forward to my off day tomorrow, giving myself a treat at g.spa with Jx!

ROAR!!!

Reason for Arsenal fans to be buzzing again

5 preseason wins including a 4-0 over Chelsea and 6-0 over Sevilla, some notable additions to the team (G. Jesus, Fabio Viera, Zinchenko, and star defender W. Saliba rejoining after 2.5 years on loan) and a strong finish last season, Arsenal fans have finally a legitimate grounds to have belief and feel confident in the team!

Me included.

Passed by a bet shop on Friday and placed bets on:

- Arsenal win (1: 1.70) @ $30 

- Arsenal -1.5 (1: 2.60) @ $20

It was against Crystal Palace away and in the end the result went in Arsenal's way. I won $53 overall, hurray!

Money aside, was more pleased of the way the game was won- solid team play, reliable and strong at the back, dangerous movement of the front four, a clean sheet including 2 game defining saves by Ramsdale; and mind you CP was a physical team and we lost 2-0 to them just a few months ago; there is real belief and structure in the team right now. Only 1 game down, 37 to go. The season is a marathon, but the preparatory work and the first game have got gooners all buzzing.

COYG!

Bye Huawei P20 Pro

Sold to neighborhood phone shop - $100. New battery replaced a week ago $48. 

One of the best phones I ever owned! Superb battery life (no pressure to last 1 day under normal usage), decent camera (as at Y2018), never once hung on me throughout its 4 years, speedy processor, drop hardy, instant fingerprint recognition, 128GB more than sufficed for all my 4 years of photos... It was an underrated smartphone of its generation, a fantastic servant! Thanks to Lion for rec it and I recall that casual convo along the office corridor outside the toilet haha...

Pokemon blue

 

So much feels, this game.

Hula hoop show!

 

Wye is turning 3!

Our dear En is turning 3 in a few days, gosh! Asked what cake she'd like, and she consistently and patiently answered "strawberry cake". Probed what present she'd like, but she has difficulty naming an iterm/gift. Well, guess it's a good thing then, that she doesnt' have any material want! (though she has recently persuaded us in getting a pair of Frozen jelly shoes with lights from Bata)

- Likes to press lift buttons, the electronic door lock, wants to be the first to open the house door, enter the kitchen etc. Whines when she doesn't *roll eyes*

A challenging time

Extremely challenging.

Difficult and prickly users.

Tardy contractor.

Contractual issues.

Tedious gateway processes.

Cham ah!!!
