E-learning Week || 20081120
Today was my I&E sales and I can say that it wasn't good at all. The sales was barely enough to cover a third of our expenditure. There were some hiccups that came out there and then. And I came to learn of the inconvenient truth (LOL); the truth that got our team shorthanded (making our strength count down to 4) and suffering losses (both financially and tangibly) even before our official sales started. We were short of clay miniatures to sell (which explains why we had to continue making them even though we had already started our sales). But I guess that's life: you meet with all kinds of people everyday and you learn to face them (and the good and bad they bring along). C'est la vie!
Well, at least I'm glad that this week isn't all bad. I managed to get my long awaited Need for Speed Undercover on the first day of release! Cool! It was as good as Need for Speed Most Wanted (but I still love Carbon most) and way better than the sucky Prostreet. And I'm proud to say I'm quite pro at playing this game: I completed 60% of the whole career mode in just a day! Er huh, beat that! The game's graphics are pretty good but I seriously hate the motion blur effect (I can't savour the beautiful scenery churned out by my Radeon HD 4850 when I'm zooming around at 200+ kph). Currently I'm riding an Audi TT but am saving up for a Nissan GTR or BMW M6 (and ultimately a Murcielago, SLR, F1 or Veyron). I think I need to upgrade to the GTR or M6 first, even though I am left with 100k more to my ultimates, as it's hard to stay on top now; since the Audi was the second car I received after my Lotus Elise (haven't got to use my third car, Evo X yet). I guess I'm not making sense to any non-hardcore car or NFS fans anymore. I shall stop this here.
And this Saturday, I do hope to learn things and see miracles (though I have no faith yet that they are possible for myself) when I go to the Asia Conference to attend Benny Hinn's session. I was told that he is a world-renowned healing evangelist so I'm eager to see him in action. I haven't been able to attend service for quite a while so definitely I hope to get back soon too.
But sadly life isn't all flowers and butterflies (like when I got to play my NFS) for the whole of this e-learning week. I seriously hate such short weeks of holidays (for me). Why wouldn't the school just finish the damn lessons and give us a longer break? Sigh... The whole was wasted like this (no motivation to do any work). Holidays are so going to kill me with lack of motivation and inspiration.
Well, I seemed to have gotten accustomed to whatever sadness brought into my life by either myself or others. It's like almost everyday (most of the days to be politcally correct) is inconsolable sadness. It's probably because I got so tired of it and don't find it worth shedding tears anymore (though I still strangely do on rare ocassions and while watching a few movies) that I shut myself off from them at times. Needless to say, I'm still learning; whether this self shutting off is good or bad is unkown. I will go on...
