Got work

Oh man, got some work to do at the moment. Seeing that I was 'diligently' on the net, da boss suddenly got an assignment for me.

Boss: Eh... kat internet ni, boleh kan kalau nak carik research paper ?

Me
(While desperately clicking the minimizing button of the blogger template window):
Depends la, research paper ni kadang-kadang diorang just bubuh list dengan excerpt je, tapi ada jugak yg publish full paper online. You nak try cari topik apa? Saya boleh cuba, maybe ada.

Boss : Cuba awak carik pasal services marketing, kalau ada.


An online assignment, no less. How appropriate, don't you think?

Btw, the tag board is already up. Feel free to leave a message there!

Working on it

Surprise, surprise! Setting up a basic weblog is not that hard. Most of the hard work is already done by the provider, which for me is Blogger. Senang je... heh.. ding dong ding dong dah siap dah. It's the refining process that will take time, all those enhancements, being additional stuff such as adding the links to the side bar, putting up a tag board, images, modifying the templates etcetera. Takes me back to the time a few years back when I worked on my personal homepage (those days almost everybody has one... do you remember that time?). Managed it half-way only, then gave up. Aiseh, hope this time I'd be better and will not be hangat-hangat taik ayam only. Time will tell. Patience, baby!

Today is the second day of the fasting month, and it is only today that I started to feel hungry when it is only 10 in the morning. Wonder why. Hmm.. I suppose because yesterday I ate so much during sahur.. being the first day and all. The 'novelty' of getting up for sahur has worn out I guess. Today it has become just another ritual, as uneventful as the daily breakfast at the office canteen.

Work - none so far today. Boss lepak je... macam taknak bagi kerja. Gaji rabun je aku hari-hari.. rabun sebab I do get assignments once in a while though, mueheh. Doing this using the office PC. Bad girl >:)

Now off to look for a free tag board.

Pertama Kali

Test. Test. Ehem-ehem. Testing 1 2 3.... Internet connection, check. Internet browser, check. Weblog provider, check. Register for free weblog account, check. Think of first post, check. Actually putting up the first post, check.
Oohhh... finally, after countless weeks of enjoyment, intrigue, humour, suspense and whatnots of reading others, I'm blogging too!

I have a lot to learn, as perfectly portrayed by this traditional pantun (Malay rhyming prose):

Buah cempedak di luar pagar,
Ambil galah tolong jolokkan,
Saya budak baru belajar,
Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan.


Translation:

Cempedak fruit outside the fence,
Take a bamboo pole and prod it then,
I' m a newbie, just starting today,
If I did wrong, please show me the way.

Boleh ?
