Somehow managed to get through the first week of work. Work isn’t fantastic in the first week, but after a couple of chats with several people, I’m quite convinced that this job isn’t going to be a stroll in the park. Much more so is that I’m convinced there’ll be quite a bit to learn.

Pushing things a little to the limit these days with time allocations. Not quite happy that I’m no longer as free as I used to be while I was selling fish. Heh, still have the social commitments, the TV series/anime I want to watch and all that extra gaming. Somehow, even with all of that floating around in your mind, you never quite forget that you need to clean your room. Heh. So tired these days, but am adamant to stick to the sleep at 1am, wake up at 730am regime. So much to do, so little time.

Speaking of series to watch, just completed the first season of House M.D. This is the ONLY non scifi series I’ve been keen on watching. This is mainly due to the characters and their interactions between each other. Dr Gregory House is a brilliant doctor who has no bedside manner whatsoever and even I’m impressed with his way of sarcasm. The episodes shows his interactions with 3 doctors under him and his patients (there are other main characters, but no need for me to spoil it for you). The series has its full share of medical jargon (and you do learn quite a bit just watching) but the most intriguing bits are the observations on human behaviour. Human behaviour, while being unpredictable, can also be determined/anticipated through heuristics. It’s fascinating to know why humans do the things they do, why they choose to do it and how they deal with the realities of life. I’m pretty sure that a lot about human behaviour has been documented, and if everyone had even a glimpse of an idea on these issues, they’d probably deal with life and people with less pain and more understanding. I’m being all vague about all the human issues here, but I really recommend the series. It’s entertaining and witty. Heh.

Soccer’s started. Man U got off to a brilliant start. Wayne Rooney is brilliant. The squad has slightly more depth this season I feel. The players are combative and determined. I haven’t seen such fluidity from this team in a while. Heh, would be interesting to watch how the season unfolds.

Side note. Realised that attention to detail can provide you with a lot of useful information. Heh.
