| These conversations with upper level management are getting weirder and weirder these days.
As I was walking by, my manager's manager's manager called me into his office and in a very serious manner asked,
M's M's M: Did I interview you when you joined the company?
Me: Erm yes.
M's M's M: Do you think I'm very fierce when I interview people?
(Good, he doesn't remember me from the interview)
Me: Just a little bit, you're just very serious compared to the rest of the interviewers.
(But actually yes, he didn't look too friendly).
Another day, another weird conversation.

| Manager: Can you bring your keyfob when you go back to Malaysia for vacation? Maybe you can run some simulations there.
Me: Did I forget to tell you that the Internet connection in Malaysia sucks. I'd be lucky if I get to check my email.
Manager: No, seriously.
Me: Yeah, seriously.

| Happy Halloween everyone!
I guess that it is only during Halloween, can you see a fully-grown man shopping around for a plastic toy sword. Since I didn't see any cheap costumes this year, I guess my bunny ears will be put to good use again.
Ooh...And I watched my first winning Illini game ever. To make it even better, we trashed Michigan. =P

| I went to the dentist today for my bi-annual teeth check up and cleaning. Since this is the first time I'm at the dentist since one of my wisdom teeth started emerging, I was a little nervous that the dentist would insist on an extraction. While I was talking to the main dentist, before he even saw my tooth, he was already on the roll, "So, do you want to schedule a time to come in to extract the tooth?" I was already adamant and asking, "Is it possible to keep the tooth?" After a few mumbles of 'we'll see' and x-ray taking, another dentist started cleaning my teeth. Towards the end of the visit, she examined my x-ray and verified the fact that my tooth was coming out pretty straight and that there was no need for an immediate extraction. I was relieved until she added, "It's better to let it grow a bit more anyway because if we take it out now, we'd have to dig a hole", which immediately left a disturbing mental picture.
I remember the day when I first noticed the tooth was emerging. I was at work when I started sticking a finger to the back of my mouth in front of my computer desk, fervently hoping that no one walks by to verify this. My throat on the other hand started thinking that I was trying to induce it to throw up the contents of lunch. It was all very weird because just about a week before that, I had this very weird dream about growing a complete third set of molars. Maybe that was the harbinger to emerging new teeth. Or it was stimulus to my impacted tooth to suddenly decide to erupt.
The dentist also asked, "Do you floss?" to which I meekly replied "Sometimes.", when in truth I do it maybe once a year.

| So my almost end of the year resolution is to put in as many weblog entries as possible so that a few years from now, I will still remember how life was like in the present. But it's difficult. I always either get distracted by something else or become too lazy. Another one of my abandoned projects. But now that I've reached level 32 in Restaurant City, I might be able to spare a little bit more time.
