Yesterday’s night dinner. This was unagi (eel) that Vyanne and I bought at Chinatown while she was around. It took me well over a week before I decided to open it up and eat it. Heh, just a little hesitant on my end as I didn’t quite know what to do with it. It ended up being fairly simple as I just microwaved it and served it on rice.

I am feeling sort of restless, with lots I want to do and not being able to decide what I want to do first. Ended up messing around with my website design as it’s been on my mind for the past month. Heh, strangely enough, the new design took only 3 days to go through. It’s a simpler design, recycling most of the existing code and me tidying things up. The idea for me now is to get whatever I want done and out of my system so I can move on to the next things. It’s not so much about being impatient, but I lose interest if the effort put in does not equate to the output I expect. Heh, the design will be up in a day or two.

It’s been a quiet week, with me just pounding away at the computer at work programming stuff. Not much to discuss at work, as I can’t contribute to discussions on trading, as I don’t know enough of the basic dynamics to say much. It’s just an odd feeling, not being able to be contribute on a higher level. My programming work is not glamourous, it just helps with automating stuff so you don’t have to run through the same processes daily. However these things run in the background, and sometimes it goes unnoticed. Maybe I should speak up on my contributions, but I’m not sure what I’m expecting to get out of it. Heh, I want to be able to discuss my work with people, but programming isn’t the most interesting of topics to discuss. I want to be able to do more now, to make a difference.

On a side note, other ideas going through my mind. Want to test out fennel. I’ve used it before for soup and the fennel seeds for curries. I’ve even tried it as an Indian after dinner dessert. I’m just curious what I can do with this spice to make more interesting dishes. I am keen to get a keyboard (the musical kind) for the living room in Melbourne so I can practice some tunes. I’ve had the idea for a very long time now and I just want something to disappear into (with headphones of course) as a different way to relieve stress.

Heh, it’s less than a month away before I can start putting plans into motion. Still looking forward to it.
