Pre-Lunch

So both my bosses are out of the office block so that means time for me to slack a bit off to blog! :D

Now, it's been a while since I really blogged on anything. Since my office are the ONLY certified VUE testing center around Kuching, I had my hands full on handling the Tech support calls, setting up the 3 new machines that will be the new exam sytem, preparing for classes which more often than not end up being cancelled or postponed *grind teeth* and also being the only knowledgeable tech-support guy aroun here *grins*

It's almost done and I'm pretty proud of what I did. Though we do have 2 test administrator to take care of things, I somehow became the person to talk to when it comes to the big stuff, installing the new system, testing out the network, migrating form the old system to the new system and TROUBLESHOOTING *Oh TEH HORROR!*

All there's left to do is to re-wire the network cable so it'll be hidden and not lying on the floor causing possible trip, injury, spill, cussing, etc.

That and having the Channel quality representative coming here to train us, and taking 2 papers so we qualify to administer the new exams.

Major update on the new systems includes 2 CCTV's, 1 in the exam, another at the front serving as the photo capture cam, fingerprinting unit and signature recognition unit which I installed myself. Yes yes I know this is all about me now but hey, i had no prior experience in handling this stuff before so I'm pretty proud of myself.

In other news, I went to the Songwriter's Round at Mojo. Mojo's behind Denis Wine, in fact I think it's an extension of Denis I think. Anyway, I wasn't the performer *cant sing, amateur guitar player, stage fright* but a friend did asked to come over and support. I managed to bring along 3 other friends.

Now, it's my first time being there and I was a little taken back at the entrance fee thing. I was unprepared but thankfully had earlier gone poking at the ATM machine. Whew! Once we got in, it FELT familiar, yet, very different. Kinda like how The Crib felt, before it was under NEW management.

Met a lot of friends there. Some I had not seen or heard in months. We sat at the corner where we can't see the stage but the sound setup was excellent. It's probably just me but some of the singers, I had trouble listening to their lyrics. But hey, RM20, complimentary glass of wine, ORIGINAL songs written AND composed by the singers themselves and can play the guitar, good friends, cosy setting, I like. Hopefully the monthly event works out.

Plus, this whole idea is new. At least in Kuching. I like the idea, it's just that I feel alittle out of place. It's pretty posh you know.

OH!

There's that dude who had a styrofoam shaped like a gun standing outside and was just being weird going all glass-breaking action and aiming with that gun. Weird, and scared a lady off her chair! The poor dear. Gette was there and I got to meet her! FINALLY! :D

Okay, going to hunt for food now.

p/s: Narnia opens on DECEMBER 8TH. Must Watch.
