Dry 9 days period is at an end

That's 14 posts today, a record high after a dry period of 9 days. What have I been doing the past 9 days, and why wasn't there any post? Mostly because of work, and the much needed rest which I finally achieved last weekend, sleeping a total of 22 hours on Saturday, and a total of 15 hours on Sunday. I'm fully energised and ready to start working on my other extra-curricular activities like blogging, reading my news, my feeds, and many other stuff. A few updates on my end.

TechEd is coming soon, and it has been giving me headaches over and over again, but it's time for me to start taking a stand and make things move.

Application of my University and courses are half way there. I've confirmed my courses I'm taking for this coming semester. I've sent over a few hundred dollars sending express mails through FedEx and TNT, and man that's expensive. My plane ticket is confirmed to fly off on the 2nd (Friday) September 2005 at 6am in the morning, and I'll have to be there by 3am. So if anyone wants to see me off, it's from 3am onwards, but who in the right mind will want to send me off at such ungodly hours? I'll reach Toronto's Lester B Pearson International airport by 2nd September 2005 at 6pm (that's a whole 24 hours plane ride with 2 transits). The only thing left for me is to get my money and my student visa and my bank account, and I'm all ready to go. I'm so excited! I've been chatting with quite a few people that's going to University of Waterloo, and I'm pretty excited in meeting them. I want to thank everyone who is helping me with my transition over there, and you know who you are! :) You are a big help.

My next presentation on Beginning Game Programming with DirectX will be next week, and I just found out that Virtual PC doesn't like DirectX. :) Hence I have to install C# Express Edition on my laptop. GROANS!!! Btw, I'll be introducing the new C# Express also. It's a 1 hour presentation, and it's my last presentation in Singapore, so I'm hoping it'll go in a bang. I'll be putting up the synopsis tonight when I set down in deciding what to do for that presentation. To make it a technical presentation, or a show-and-tell, and more of an introductory to the Game development world.

Things at work are slowing down recently with the recent slowdown in new requirements and massive influx of bug-fixing which I personally killed at least 5-10 bugs a day last week.

*crunches his knuckles* And I still haven't done anything that I'm planning to refocus my energies on!! That's not good, is it.
