Ahoy! Gloomy Thursday it is, with Manchester United having lost 1-2 at Olympico Stadium but we will bounce back on the return leg of Champions League quarter-finals! For now, we have an away goal to celebrate with and shall look forward to marching on to the glorious triumph at Athens this coming May!

On the other hand, Chelsea managed to seize a draw at Stamford Bridge after going down to Valencia’s first strike. I was supposed to wake up for the matches with my alarm clock set to 3:00am. I even slept early last night but to no avail. Just as predictably right, I woke up at noon today and having to sulk over the full-time result.

Today is also the day Dr.Tan visits my blog! Something to boast about, considering the fact that Fractionize don’t get many readers these days, mainly having me to blame for deserting poor ol’ dear Fraccie.

And since I have nothing to do for the day (yet), I might as well just spend some solitary moment on the various memes that I have been tagged. Keeps my brain working for the rest of the day so, here we go!

TAG NO.2 : CHERYL @ AM I REALLY THAT SIMPLE?

6 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME
Well I personally have done this before, and so I will do it again.

1. I always fantasize of getting locked in a supermarket, just like The O.C!

2. I eat more than you can ever imagine. Don’t ask me to not starve myself!

3. I seldom wear long pants since I graduated from high school.

4. I prefer beer over liquor.

5. I do have moodswings at times! Be VERY afraid…

6. I have gotten so accustomed to having meals with chilli. Gets my appetite kicking!

TAG NO.3 : JEN @ JENNISURF.NET

10 THINGS THAT I LIKE

1. I love beer, and it has got to be one and only Heineken. Tiger Beer and Carlsberg come as alternatives. Meet You There™

2. Partying is part of my life. I mean, what’s life without partying anyway? Clubbing and raving is altogether different thing so do not compare those two.

3. Graphic design. That explains what I’m doing right now. Reality is a masterpiece on its own, in many ways. We so happen, are the designers.

4. Photography. Every picture tells a thousand words.

5. Meeting random people. Life is fully made out of surprises.

6. Chilli. Random but yeah, it is the essence of every good meal. Plus, it spices up your life!

7. Taking pictures of myself. Even more so, when nobody’s watching. (Note: Camgolo)

8. Gadgets. Aww, come on. It’s like expensive toys for grown-up men. Has got similar effects as food when treated to us. The spare key into our heart besides the stomach.

9. Freebies. Who doesn’t? Any form will do!

10. A good conversation. Keeps me sane and focused on more important issues of life :)

That’s all for now! Bye people!

As the month of January draws closer to an end, I can’t help but to dwell on the fact that college is about to welcome the returning students who just completed their industrial training programme. My last day of work on Wednesday wasn’t much of an emotional farewell though as we spent the last hours watching Borat and laughing our asses off!

The content development side. Say ‘Hi’ to Faraa (who wasn’t looking)!

All the fun times we had and nonsensical ramblings on countless occasions. I really do miss the tea breaks and erm, chicken rice that is being sold at the cafetoria. Hahahahaha it’s been a great eight weeks working together with the people who I’m closely associated with. The whole working environment is so different, it doesn’t feel like we’re actually ‘working’. We have fun as we do so and we get to meet many familiar superstars every once in a while too.

Akon and Vivian Hsu turned up on the same day but I didn’t get to take pictures of them. Ah Pop did so! You get to bump into the radio station DJs so often and Serena C having Chap Fan for lunch at the cafetria too! I so adore her!

And to “celebrate” the last day at work as the LAST intern of Xfresh, we ventured to Secret Recipe, Sri Petaling for some lip-smacking good food. I shall refrain from posting any pictures of the food that we ordered as I havent eaten my lunch yet, and it’s killing me!

Cherrie, the web development team leader.

Jason a.k.a Ah Pop, the one in charge of graphical content.

Albert, the one who works on the codings of the websites.

Rames, who is one freaking cool vector artist.

CK, who shares a lot of his anime tales with us. Anime freak!

Ryan, and he is the man behind the desk = Our BOSS!

Yow, who never fails to crack us up with his ever adorable poses.

Those above are the people that I have been seeing almost everyday for the past two months. They are the ones responsible for making me feel at home throughout the whole ordeal, and I can never thank them enough to make my internship at Xfresh truly a memorable one. Thank you all!

What matters most lies inside the envelope.
