What a week


the first week home in miri has really been fun, stressfull and wierd at the same time..coz i had the op to do lotsa different stuff...first of all, dinner with Black Sparrow and gang. Boy was that fun, met some of my frens whom i havent seen in 1 and a half yrs. Then i attended a farewell bbq for some frens o mine hosted by Agan. Cowboy style bbq- means that there was no definite plan and eventhough we had fresh coconuts to drink, we didn hav a jug to put it in so it was bottoms up. Ok..so far so good. Then towards the middle of the week, i was asked by my dad to take photos of some Iban businesses..(the pic of the dude in the left corner is an example...hes a pork trader)i said ok, sounds simple enough. So i did. I found out the next day that the pics are meant for a slideshow durin a DayakAssociation Miri dinner.MMMmmm ok..but then the initial slide show designer bailed out..so the whole project was left with me. It goes downhill frm here. I had to take photos and design a slide show and movie clips . Me, a total idiot in anything involving creativity is tasked to create a presentation for the dinner..which was supposed to be attended by the assistant chief minister of sarawak Tan Sri Alfred Jabu...WTF!!!. Nobody told me about that, best of all, i had like 2-3days to complete the job which i did eventually with 2 hours plus to spare( dinner was at7, i completed it at arnd 4 sumthin). Hope it goes well..i personally tought the whole thing was rather lame....That was prob the highlight of my week..apart frm almost completing Ace Combat Zero..Lolz

Time for JOe's random facts of the day

intro....

I created this coz i was too damn bored. My life is usually not all that exciting..but if u look at it from different points of view, ull find that it has a dash of drama, comedy, suspense etc etc. I generally like to laugh at things and at myself..laughter cures almost every stress related pains so its a good drug to start on.10 mg every day should be enough. I guess ill be filling this blog with stuff for u readers to read(im not too sure what a blog is after all)..so here goes:
