Read MoreJackie’s TGS 2005 shots Originally uploaded by cloneofsnake. This pic really cracked me up… I wonder how they decided who is going to be whom. It could be just a simple game “Stone, paper and scissors”, or perhaps the “Senpai / Kouhai” hierarchy also exists in the cosplay community. Yes, a useless blog entry, I know… I’m just trying to link up my flickr to here so Google can pick it up. Cloneofsnake cloneofsnake CloneOfSnake!! :D\

Fuck it, it’s so much easily to blog from flickr to blogger. So anyways… Queenie woke me up in the middle of the night, saying something’s happening outside. I’m glad she’s so alert in her sleep, as I’m the kind that can sleep through an earthquake on the 19th floor of a Hyatt in Tokyo! I woke up, took a glimpse outside of the window, a fire truck was parked right outside and it was extending its ladder at that moment… There were many people standing right below my 2nd floor apartment…
Read More0726_QQ_PS2_cotton_pads Originally uploaded by cloneofsnake. We don’t have the first Katamari Damacy but I heard it’s a great game, so I got part 2. I wasn’t too impressed with it but Queenie absolutely loves it. She got so into the game she was swearing and throwing the controller and shit. This is the same lovely girlfriend of mine that yelled at ME when I was pissed off playing Zelda or whatever… She got pissed off at me and said “Why do you get so upset, it’s just video games, if you can’t control your temper then stop playing!” HA! Hypocrite!! So guess what I said to her… ;-)
Read MoreManagement 101 - by Nicholas Wang Saturday night, went to watch Fantastic 4 with Queenie and Miho. The subway was packed on the way back, it really sucked! The reason why I like living in Astoria is b’coz it’s less crowded than Manhattan but is still pretty close to everything. I really hate it when I’m going home in a packed subway. Anyway, on my way back, I was thinking of work (yes, my mind skips all over the places all the time). I’m revising the scripts for account suspension, which was developed 9 months ago, also by me. It’s in testing stage now and I need to set up the entire testing procedure and shit. I could’ve started doing testing early last week, but since moving to the Sales Ops department, I’ve been binded by a lot more “rules” and red tape. One of the rule is, I can’t communicate directly with anyone outside of our department anymore, and that for me is a real pain in the ass. After finishing development, I had to send a written report to my manager, and then she’ll communicate on my part to the programmers in MIS, and come back to me with the “OK go ahead”, along with her expectations to see the resulting changes to current data once my new script runs. Basically, what could’ve been a 2 hours communication with MIS directly by myself, is now changed into a week turn-around time.
Read MoreMade a new friend on the subway on 7/20 I didn’t think it could happen but it did. 7/20 was another regular Wednesday of any week, I got off work at 6:30, got on the F line at 14th St, change to N, W line at 34th St. I stuck my foot into the closing door of the W train but the damn operator wouldn’t open the doors. I gave up, got on the next N train and sitting directly in front of me was this girl with what looked like the British version of Harry Potter 5 - the Order of Pheonix. I took out my PDA and continue to read my Harry Potter 6 on eBook format. When it was close to my stop, I thought I’d ask her if it was in fact the Brits version and if she had gotten it here in NYC.
