The Styke’s Times

Cold Cash Saviours

Posted in Scribblings by Styke on November 30, 2006

Just receive my 3rd Month assessment for my internship. I was glad that there’s an ‘A’ for conduct. But I got a ‘B’ still for my performance. It clearly shows that I’ve not performed above expectations. Well, totally understand it. I haven’t been reporting as many bugs as before, have I been ignoring too many of the minor ones? Don’t know.

Felt kind of ill yesterday night. I was feeling cold when I was about to sleep on the night before. Feeling lethargic at work, and at times very cold. I thought I was okay before when I woke up, guess the air conditioning made things worst. Ha! And thought to myself, since I’m already there, might as well stay on till the end of the day.

Seems like everyone is on MC. Michelle, Clarence, Hafiz & Jason (feeling sick). The dude sitting beside me was sneezing all day last week, he too, took leave on Monday. It’s probably the extreme difference in weather… super hot noons, cold evenings. Take care guys!

I’m really poor now. Carrying $3.00 bucks on my wallet. Heh! Two saviours! Suling who treated us dinner yester-night, and god ma, who cooked extra for me! And so, I am able to carry this three bucks further on.

One month more… should I?

Coldplay – Don’t Panic

Posted in Scribblings by Styke on November 26, 2006

Don’t Panic by Coldplay from their album Parachutes. I like the sound of the guitar, it’s … Songs like, Shiver, Yellow, High Speed and a few more are very nice too! Do check this album out.

I prefer Parachutes, compare with A Rush of Blood to the Head and X&Y. Seems like with each album they release, it’s less to my liking.

Lyrics:

i’m sinking like stones
all that we’ve fought for

homes, places we’ve grown
all of us are done for

we live in a beautiful world

yeah we do
yeah we do
we live in a beautiful world

i’m sinking like stones
all that we’ve fought for

homes, places we’ve grown
all of us are done for

we live in a beautiful world

yeah we do
yeah we do
we live in a beautiful world

we live in a beautiful world

yeah we do
yeah we do
we live in a beautiful world

oh all that i know
there’s nothing here to run from

cos here, everybody here’s got somebody to lean on
