I was trying to cut my wrist but I missed. Yeah right.
I really don’t know how I got this cut.

Xen’s Guide to Job Hunting
Work in Progress… How I wish there is some machine that can project all my thoughts directly!!!
I’ve been asked such questions since I started working. I myself have asked these questions before I started working. And I myself may need some reminders when I’m out looking for a new job. So here’s what I think.
Disclaimer: The following information is completely my personal opinion. In no event shall I be liable for any direct, indirect or incidental consequence, including but not limited to, if you successfully secure the job you desire, arising out of, or in connection with heeding any or all of my advice listed below.
SNES emulator
Sis was craving for Yoshi’s island suddenly. We used to play it on the Super Nintendo system, which dad “lent” it to dunno who and never seen again. So, I found an emulator on the web, and the corresponding ROM. It was exactly the same game, but much harder to play using the keyboard.
Luckily the emulator was able to detect my gamepad (which I originally bought for maple), and it worked perfectly for the game. Now I’m tempted to buy a second gamepad to be able to play 2-player games like Bomberman! I also managed to find Top Gear, which is a racing game which we always played but never noticed the game’s name. Only when I found it I realized it was a very popular game. I thought it was just one of the so many car racing games in the market.
Anyone wants to try Internet play?
N79
Accidentally found N79, which was reported to be announced few days ago. As a typical N-series it packed all the features I wanted, from WiFi to GPS. But, like all N-series, it looks below average.
It should be available here from October this year, and comes bundled with a 4GB microSD card. Throwing a bluetooth headset into the package would sound like a good deal.
A little relieved I did not rush into getting an N78 when it was first released. Comparing these 2 models there is no doubt which one I will consider. Having failed N78, hopefully N79 will feel better in my hands. If not I’ll have to settle for some less-featured phone.

赌场得意?
I bought 8 sets of numbers for the $8mil draw on 08/08/08. There were 8 Group 1 winners. I wasn’t one of them.
But it was my first win from Singapore Pools. I think. The prize calculator said so.
Shall go collect proceeds tomorrow. 顺便 buy the $1.5mil Thursday Jackpot.
Just got my new toy today
Usually red, but this one’s green. About 4 times brighter (as listed, I didn’t really measure, but the perceived difference was significant). Beam slightly visible, even in light (I was expecting no beam, or slight beam in dark). Better than I originally thought. Considering higher rating for better beam…

Journey to the West
My sis and I went to Queensway shopping centre today, because she has wanted to buy Deuter bag for very long and hasn’t found it. I had recommended her the place, and we ended up buying a bag, shoes and jeans, all of which she was supposed to buy but hasn’t found a suitable one. Dad already gave her the money to buy her stuff donkey years ago. She, like me, takes a very very long time to buy an item.
We were looking at jeans and my sis was trying them out in this small shop. And, for the second time, the shopkeeper has mistook me as my sis’ boyfriend. And this was also just the second time I brought her shopping. The first time, about a year ago, I brought her and my niece to Far East Plaza, and there was this shop auntie who insisted I was my sis’ boyfriend, or was chasing my own sis. After my niece explained I was her bro, she even thought it was the kind of 干哥哥 type of brother.
So I suppose we don’t look like siblings, and either she looks too old or I look too young. My sis should be considered the petite range already, and I’ve seen her classmates which seriously look super cao 老. Therefore I must be the one who look like a kid.
It’s time for me to grow up and be more mature.
