March Madness 2012 Edition

Relaxing here in a darkened cold room with a big screen. The easy and affordable escape to life's burden.

Stressing out over a lot of things lately. Let me lay them out one by one, not according to any urgency or importance but to what comes to mind first.

Regression. I have this RFQ that is fairly easy to implement but a lot to consider into. I may say I learned a lot because of this development experience. For one, improvement on communication skills. It's because I have to contact by phone the POS developer that's in Australia. Not to mention that when you are developing something, there is a lot you'll learn from reading and familiarizing the codes. Which brings me to regression issues.

Hate it! And I think hate is still a kind word to describe how I really hate it! Im ok fixing bugs that I may have inadvertently introduced during the rfq development, but fixing already broken-a-long-time-ago-just-discovered-now bugs sucks big time! It stresses me out really. Im on day 3 firefighting these regression bugs, and there is still a full week ahead to wade through these fixes.

Ok thats what regression is about. But I have a secret. With all those hate and exclamation ended sentences lies joy. Yes joy as in happiness. In simple geek speak I kind of love what I do - Im doing. It just feels natural for me to face the computer all day and forget the world and just come back at 5pm when its time to go home. I may blab about work but I like my work. Period.

Which brings me to another thing that confuses me a great deal right now. I want to work in SG! Want, want, want it! If someone can guarantee me that I'll have a 100% work when Im there, I definitely am ready to leave all behind and fly there the soonest.

Now the problem. First is money. I have no savings! It's because of my bad purchasing decisions last year that Im debt ridden. Next is that I lost my diploma! It is an important requirement and I have to secure one. Im not yet on the move to gather the papers needed, ie; diploma, transcript, coe (from previous employers). I need to be on work leave to process them all. Sigh.

Speaking of job application, I already booked myself for a job fair this April 14. Im doing this to prepare myself for more interviews I may have to undergo in jumping ship so to speak.

So where am I now, you may ask? Im here in SM cinema 8 and waiting for The Hunger Games to start. Wait, the lights just went off, that's the queue.
