This week was a busy week. I was working super hard since last Friday…all the way until about Wednesday night (including the weekend). Overtime any moment I had available. But I was still trying to sleep a decent amount, so as not to get sick again. This was all in preparation for a launch that was supposed to take place yesterday night, from 6pm and take me all the way until 11am.

Fortunately, late Wednesday, they delayed the project. Good news for me. I was able to relax a bit…I’m still working hard, still doing lots of overtime…but not killing myself with stress. I have another week..maybe two.

In the last week, I’ve done more real development than I’ve probably done all year. I learned a lot, because I was forced to. I’m really proud of what I’ve learnt and accomplished this week. And my love for web development was renewed once again. I can’t wait for this project to be over so that I can start my other development projects.

I’m going to Niagara Falls tomorrow with Z for some wine tasting. Staying there overnight…and coming back Monday. Pretty excited…I still have to pack for it though..and I dunno when I can, cuz I’m about to go to Richmond Hill’s Go for Tea and then dinner and maybe karaoke?

I’m happy though, I worked so hard this week and pretty much every moment I was awake…I even worked last night from about 10pm until 4:30am. And this is my reward :) Hanging out with friends…being social and going out…I feel like I haven’t seen anyone in weeks. Anyways, I’ll try to catch up more blog wise, I know I’m royally lagging behind but yeah, my life has been all work, no play, so there isn’t really much to blog about anyways.

Wait, to say I was using all my free time doing overtime was a lie. Every day I’d spend one hour between the long work day, and the long overtime nights playing Kirby: Return to Dreamland with Z. We actually beat the game in about a week…we got all the 120 gears you’re supposed to collect…though we’re still only at 94% completion as of yesterday. Have to figure out where the last 6% comes from…but I’m determined to get it, and be 100% complete :D

I’m also playing Kirby Mass Attack occasionally, but it’s at the really hard levels and I’m not really enjoying it as much. I’ve never REALLY enjoyed this game despite that it’s a side scrolling game, with a stylus twist. One thing I pride myself in side scrolling games is that I’m generally able to move the way I want to move. The coordination I feel between my head, fingers, and characters on the screen is generally pretty fluid. This is not true for FPS games, some driving games, etc. But side scrollers…I’m generally pro at. In this case though there are always 10 Kirbys moving around, that you have to keep track of. You can’t move the way you want because they move in a group…and some Kirbys always lag behind. Also, when you get 10 (the max) – which you need to unlock stuff – they take up so much of the screen.

Anyways, must work for the next 25 minutes, then get ready to go out…and then go out for the rest of the night :D even now, I’m still so damn busy! But I love it! <3 Oh wait, one more thing to write about. My cough seemed to mostly go awake this week! I don’t know why, I was so stressed…not eating right…HOWEVER, we were sleeping with the windows open, rather than the A/C on. I’m going to assume that was the key….the fresh air at night. Really happy it’s pretty much gone cuz we got mini-karaoke tonight…and in 2 weeks :P
