Something to do..

So I've been in Singapore for almost a month looking for a job. Like all you out there already guess, yep I was quit from the previous company. Eventhough, the boss didn't technically fired me, but I knew that the moment is right to move on. So here I'am moving to Singapore, another city, another country and definitely another job.

Let's hope for the best here.. I really need a job to start living here..

Having nothing to do actually is not my kind of things. I cant play decent music coz I didnt have my dear guitar and Ibanez bass with me. I cant draw coz I left the Intuos graphic pad at home. And so does gaming. With this old laptop here, I almost have limited options.

Well at least I can run Google Chrome to browse for jobs, and running open office to edit my resume, cv, and cover letter.

So if you read my last post about Travel Mate 290, yep that old acer laptop is what I have right now. The main problem is that the memory is only 256 Mb and shared with graphic card made it less than 24o Mb. Actually my friend laugh to the fact that his iPhone have more memory than this old laptop. Say goodbye to heavy graphic games and my painting software. All I have here is only Youtube, G4 TV, and Class 95.

Once or twice I really miss my tower PC with dual or quad core (I forgot) and Nvidia GTX 9800. There's a lot things I could do with that if it's here. I remember I told my friend about this and she told me to play Facebook games for killing time. But really man, facebook games?? naaah.. The game might be good but I think I simply need great graphics, great gameplay, storyline, challenges, and also decent sound system. Hmm now I miss my 9.1 speaker system.

But that is it. There's no point to be sorry about it. What I need right now is a job.

So, what's happened when I'm sick of youtube, or when G4 TV is lagging like hell, or simply dont want to listen to Class 95? Here's the surprise.. tadaaaa...

I AM WRITING...!!

yep ladies and gentlemen.. I'm back at writing novel.. and even greater this time, I'm not just write, but I'm learning about writing technique.. I kinda amazed with all this new thing I learned recently. Things I should know long ago I think. Now I realized I've been into blocking because I simply write my story in a ineffective ways.

So I'm learning about this Snowflake method and some technical aspect on writing like Scene and Sequel, MRUs,.. etc.. I must admit, Google is really helpful when it comes to learning just random thing on internet.

Apart from learning the writing technique, I also using a writing software, yWriter, to help me write properly.. I cannot write much about this software. But, lots of people out there gave a good testimonial about this software..

So just you all wait for the result.. If my swing mood is not too bad, I might coming up with nice story out of this.. hehe..

So now I got Writing on my activity list. Great isn't it? At least I got another thing to do when I got nothing to do..

Next is.... guess what.. If I'm not on Youtube, G4 TV and Class 95 AND not writing.. guess what I'd do..

Cooking..?? nope
Random browsing..?? nope
Sleeping..? Sounds nice but naah.. I sleep a lot.. more sleeping should be avoided..
...

the correct answer is.. "I'm learning.. "

And guess what is I'm learning about..
