the secret life of ants.

I added the first few paragraphs after I finished the blog. Because I forgot to write my reflection. I feel that love is fragile. Most couples stay together with each other because of many many other reasons other than they love each other. Ironic isnt it. But it's true.

And the key thing is that they stay together. Whatever the reason may be.
They have each other.

so...where do i start?

For 2 weeks, Gary and i fought the odds and brought the ball back to our court at the last quarter, and we won it. we were overwhelmed with joy. disbelief? not really. we knew we had it after the 2nd meeting with the client. After the mock-ups were presented during the 2nd meeting, we knew we had the edge. Ego boost for me, assurance for Gary, confidence for the clients. after the meeting, we did a hi-5 and we smiled. And we continued smiling.

So what is this project about? it's going to be a cutting edge e-commerce site which integrates harmoniously with a Facebook Application. It's going to last 2 months, it's going to be exciting, and it's going to be ground-breaking. It promises to shoot us right into the limelight.

And so, we signed our first deal. This shall be the beginning of it all. Wish us luck.

Last week we tried Shisha at Baghdad St .. orange flavour. there's always a first time for everything. at the verge of coughing during the first few puffs. and then i was ok liao. :D

Anyway i wanted to document the feeling of signing the contract. because this what i'm talking about. money cant buy this kinda shit. Well, it's overwhelming. It's exciting. it's crazy! I have never felt this way before. hmm. Not when i got attached. Not when I got into NUS. not when I got into NOC. Hmm i think i felt this way when i took my first flight. ya. that's it. Then i guess money can buy it after all. But wait. after a few more times, and the feeling goes away. the first time when the airplane takes off. that feeling. i was clutching the chair very tightly.

ha. but well, that means i will be busy for the next 2 weeks. Executing the necessary plans to expand the business. I don't expect to be rich immediately. I am willing to spend 10 years in this business if that's what it takes for it to take off. All i want is to do what I love, and don't need to starve doing it, and have a roof over my head. Told you i'm a simple guy.

I'm moving next week. woohoo. excited.

Well, Class 95 fills the room. :D good to be listening to sweet familiar tunes.

There's about 50 new albums and 75 movies. That's my only way of relaxing now. Backing up to my external hard disk drives now.

I gained 5 kgs over the past weeks. and I need to exercise very badly. Will swim more often.

I feel happy and at the same time, worried for my friends who are travelling overseas for their grad trip. Especially dee who's in the states. Well, God, if He's still there, guide him please. Don't think He will hear my prayer after all these.

I think i have become a sadist and pessimist. Or rather - i think i have gotten worse compared to last time. G says that i'm not prudent and I cant control my finances. I told him it's not. It's just that I choose to spent it on the person I loved. I guess I need to learn after all.

I'd like to end this entry with a confession : I talked to ants today. I asked them one very important question.

Is love really that important?
