Yet Another Week

How time flies... there goes another week. On work front, that means the deadline for our (failing) project is drawing near. In less than 2 weeks time we'll need to show whatever we've got and try to impress the clients. This is only the phase 1 of the project. From the user feedback, I am almost certain that we won't be getting phase 2 due to the poor performance of our phase 1. But nevertheless, as professionals, we still need to do our best to deliver a good show for our phase 1. As blogged earlier, this project has been doomed to fail since the beginning, as there's miscommunications between the sales team and project team, resulting in a wastage of about 2 and a half month's time. Then the PM kept pushing the team around various directions without a clear idea of what the client wants. Now that time is running short, the PM should've been on site with us to sort out issues, but instead he's still the same, always hard to catch him. If he's on site, either it's because he need to sit in for meetings, or he'll be sitting there replying emails. Oh well, I'll just have to do whatever I can to close the project and hope for a successful sign off *fingers crossed*.

Work aside, I've met up with a bunch of clubbing friends on Friday night, which I haven't seen for... I don't know... 2 months? 3 months? Yeah it's been quite a while. After hanging out till about 2am at La Bodega, upon suggestions of EJ, who said he hasn't drank enough, VA, ML, WY, WY's French friend (I forgot... I'm bad with names) and myself adjourned to another pub which EJ frequents for 2nd rounds. Ended up opening a bottle of Black Label which 4 of us guys (EJ, VA, ML and me) finished on the same night. In the end we left the place at about 6am. I was so sleepy that I had to stop at a petrol station to get some rest. Slept for 2 hours there before I woke up and drove home. Damn, haven't partied so hard for a long time. In fact, normally the latest we've stayed up to is like 4am. This is like totally breaking the record. (in the spirit of Olympics I guess :P)

Oh yeah speaking of Olympics, only a couple more days before the 16-day long event is done (24th is the closing ceremony). Already about half of the gold medals are out. Seems like there's quite a number of world record being broken already. The most impressive one being Phelps of US, who broke the record of the most gold won by an individual. Another one would be Bolt of Jamaica, who broke the 100m sprint record with ease (it was said he started slowing down 20m from the finish line). You would wonder if he were to push his limits, how fast could he get. The most disappointing one would have to be Liu Xiang, whose injury forced him to withdrew himself from the games.

And that's that.
