Sponkers in BETA!

sorry for the lack of updates. as usual, life does not goes as planned.
not that i did not expect it, but it is way harsher than forseen.

i have a confession to make. i am actually an android. i can work 24/7 non stop.
you do not believe me? seems like you need to be introduced to my employers!
they definitely think i am one! i do not look anything like the guy below, i am way better
looking than him!

so now that you know. please understand that updates would be lacking, not to mention
pictures probably would not turn up at all. i received “OH SO HAPPY NEWS!” declaring or
should i say dictating that i will have to be on standby for NEW YEAR’s EVE and NEW YEAR itself.when everyone is happily counting down the last seconds of the year,i will be counting on my luck and wish that i would not get calls. this is going to be one damn exciting NEW YEAR’s EVE countdown.bet my balls that most of you would not get an opportunity like this in your lifetime.

however, contrary to my employers steadfast beliefs that i am an android, i do feel pain
(not to mention fatigue).immense pain if i might add. my teeth, perhaps trying to prove a
point to my employers that i am indeed human,decided to give me a mind numbing ache.
a visit to the dentist revealed that my wise impacted wisdom tooth cause the molar in
front to decay. the solution was to extract the wisdom tooth, do root canal treatment
and crowning for the decayed molar. the sum for the whole operation given by the
dentist was a whooping HKD7,400.

that unfortunately failed to convince my employers that i am indeed human. perhaps
they think that i am only capable of feeling pain but not fatigue. or perhaps, they think
that i am very much in need of money because of the operation.they feel that it is their
duty to, in their words,give me more responsibilities(aka standby)!

this android is breaking down and has already planned to be returned to the production line for repairs.it has been a fun experience moving overseas but definitely not a great experience being exploited.

well, today will be my last day in macau. i am definitely going to miss my room, my bed, my space, the big apartment and last but not least, the most important of all, my privacy.

took some shots from my room and balcony again. these are the shots that i like.

pardon me for my amateur-ish skills. that is all from macau. look forward to me in hongkong.

sorry for the lack of update. lately i do not have the mood to do any writing.

part of the reason is that i am now officially an alien over here. i have been spotted and forced to leave. i am now barred from entering for 50 days. should i enter, i will be forever blacklisted and deported. that puts me in a very bad mood. this means i would have to stay over in the bloody small apartment in hongkong. where i will have to put up with sharing a room that is even smaller than my kitchen over here. for the next 50 days!!! being in hongkong would also mean that i would lose the amazing allowance that i am currently getting being here. do not ask me why i get it while i am over here and not when i am in hongkong. the way things are being done is just too darn weird for me to figure out. only consolation is that i got quite a nice sum for the past one and the half months over here.

another reason why i have not been writing anything is because my personal laptop is currently involved in some personal projects. thus making it unavailable for the purpose of writing. it will take some time for me to figure out and finish what i am playing with. i do not like using the company’s laptop to update the site. do not ask me why, i just do not like the idea of doing it.

took some pictures again. will update them when i am not feeling so lazy. that is about it for now. as i will be in hongkong for the next 50 days starting next week, i might write less because i am not bringing my laptop over. would be too troublesome to lug 2 laptops and a big haversack onto the ferry. i am gonna miss my laptop for the next 50 days my camera would be with me though. hopefully i will be taking some pictures with it.

that is all.

Life is Macau is still pretty mundane. To me, it is still very lacking in a lot of places. Of course that means there is a lot of room for improvement and growth.Just to quote a personal experience, I had to search at least 4 shops before I could find myself some contact lense solutions.
The tap water here at my apartment is dirty, with loads of sediments in it. Makes me wonder if I would get through life in Macau with my health intact or not.

To make life slightly easier for myself, I have gotten a prepaid card to make calls or sms, else I would be pretty cut off from people who does not come online often,i.e. my parents. I am also counting down to getting a digital camera of my choice, Canon S5 IS by November. That is pretty much fixed, but I still need to find out where I could get a good deal for it in Macau. It is tough to shop in Macau.

Next on the list is a bicycle, very likely to be a road bike/mountain bike or whatever bike you call it. Actually I have a tough time deciding which to get. I am tempted to get road bikes for speed after watching OverDrive, a cycling anime(i’m easily influenced by animes) but the traffic conditions is just not good for speed riding. Mountain bikes seems more like the choice but it is tough shopping in Macau. I am also very interested in getting Ipod Touch. It looks very nifty but 8GB or 16GB options only makes it a little low on disk space for my liking. No, I am not going to say tough shopping in Macau again cause I do not intend to get it in Macau.

Other than that, I am still trying to fit in into tiny little Macau. I will be heading over to Hong Kong for the weekend. So look forward to some other updates when I feel like updating.

Oh yeah, I will be migrating sponkers.wordpress.com to www.sponkers.com soon. Hosting and domain provided by my dear brother who is running his www.abnerd.com. Look forward to more contents and updates.

Landed around 5.20pm yesterday. Took a cab to the office to collect the key to the apartment. Had Mos Burger, and slept. Tiring first day.

went to work today. being so totally new, i just sat there watching my colleagues work. i am wondering if i can ever cope.
all they use is cantonese to troubleshoot. my cantonese is half past six. colleagues are pretty friendly people and seemed like
a crazy bunch. went and had lunch with them today and they were decent enough to bring me around and help me order food.
all the menus are in MANDARIN! i read no mandarin!!! then had a welcoming dinner with 2 of my colleagues just now.

well, that is all for today. still very tired.
