Dual-personality

I think I'm having a dual-personality complex, which maybe an ala-Dr Jeckyl and Hyde style. I'm not sure if this is common but I kinda have a feeling that I seem to have it.

Being my scientific self I now have to split them to the different personalities that they are and name it accordingly:

Adrian-Alpha
This Adrian is the cheerful happy go lucky one which tends to forget where most of his stuff are (including his car). Usually his lighter side of things compensates his lack of work ethics:

Pros:
  • Seems to get along with people sorta well. (hopefully)

Cons:

  • Seems to forget to do work, laze around, watch anime, fall asleep unless cafffeinated.

This candidate also seems to have only 2 emotions, happy/sad.

Adrian-Beta
This Adrian is the most efficient of the two. Other than conjuring countless formulas and workarounds he manages to come out with faster development and output. Unfortunately he gets fustrated easily and therefore doesn't work well with people:

Pros:

  • Very efficient, get things done ASAP.

Cons:

  • Unable to work with people, have a hard time to figure out the opportunity cost of talking to people instead of starting to work.

This candidate ALSO seems to have only 2 emotions, evil grin/angry.

As you can see from the description above. They tend to balance out one another, the problem arises when one of them seems to come into play more than the other. This I find quite interesting. I guess this what makes us human after all. And there are of course some similarities, like both candidates drink coffee. ALOT. Irregardless of the type. I think it's probably when you can classify yourself you then see the true picture and nature of who you are and strategize effectively.

Brain code

I distinctively remember putting this code b4 :) Anyway just to get it updated to the latest version.

while (alive)
{

if ((currentday==work)&&(currentday<=deadlineweek - 2weeks)) PlayTeamFortress2();

if ((currentday==work)&&(currentday<=deadlineweek)) Work();

if (stress > 10.0)
DrinkAlcohol("JohnnieWalker");

if (stress <> 3.0)
PlayMusic("James Blunt", "1973");
else
PlayMusic("Random");

while (caffeinelevel < expectedCaffeine)
{
caffeinelevel = drinkCoffee();
}

}

Valentine's day comments

HMMMMM...

I really have no idea what to say for this day except that I really think it's a good marketing concept.

Florists and Chocolate sellers gets to sell their items 5-6 times more than the original price for that particular day. Restaurants get booked all day at that time and it's now the seller's market rather than a buyer one. One day I might think of having a florists just opening at Valentine's Day and the profits will most likely last me through the whole year. :)

Personally, I've never been quite fond of Valentine's Day, all the sane reason that it's a girl's market on that day. If the boyfriend/husband/going to boyfriend fella/cuddle b*tch didn't buy enough flowers for the girl (which please noted that the flowers are more marked up than you buy a Starbucks coffee compared to Kopi O) next to another girl, that girl will get upset, and no happy hour for you (cuddle b*tches are abit of an exception as they were not getting any anyway).

Definition of cuddle b*tch: http://www.intellectualwhores.com/manifestations.html

However, out of sheer insanity and concept reasoning flying out of the window, I did tried to ask someone out for dinner, but she's not free. Then again, this is a bout of temporal madness that happens to me once in a full moon and extreme boredom seems to contributed into the factor. Now listening to 1973, pondering at new code, little did I know that this will hurt for awhile.

I think Mr.Valentine's kinda dead for a while, but his influence is slowly growing.

CNY 2008

First, Happy CNY 2008.

Having a CNY is always a quiet moment for me. This is because everyone is goes to Penang, and I'll be left alone at home. So I gotta clean, eat, take out the trash of my stuff by myself. And usually it's a good thing.

This year however I'm abit worried that I'm not going back. My only living grandfather had a stroke and he's in Penang and I didn't go back to see him because of my work commitments.

Something tells me I'm going to regret what I'll do today.
