those of you visiting more often might have noticed my site outage over the past week, particularly with my blog being down for the most part. the reason was a particularly stupid move to change to a new host without first downloading my files off the old server. so when the admin (who was somewhat disgruntled about letting me go, since i might be one of the fewer clients of his budget host—i had to literally e-mail bomb him and harrass him about changing a number of settings for me) changed me over to my new host, i realised to my complete embarrassment that i’d have to ask him to give me access to my old files again.

… not so smart.

i had a relatively frustrating week with work, not so much because it was heavy, but because it demanded organisation, meticulousness and a certain level of fastidiousness that was just beyond me. the irony was that the task of tallying scores in a survey was smaller than it would’ve been for me had i been at this job last year, but because i re-did the tallying four times in a muddleheaded fumbling about in the dark, i ended up tearing out my hair.

oh, and i sprained my jaw too. apparently i’ve been tense, according to my doctor, who said that i have a lot of built-up frustration in my neck and jaw area, causing me to grind my teeth at night. several mornings ago, i woke up with a stiff jaw, opened my mouth and pop—there you go. it’s not a big deal, only that it’s highlighting how often i clench my teeth when i think (since it hurts when i do now), because having not encountered any need to clench them most of my life, i was clenching a surprising number of times whilst tallying the survey.

there was a reason i gave up economics, mathematics, and all those subjects requiring numbers, graphs, and survey-score tallying.

i went to the world cyber games finals held at suntec city here in singapore. it was really fun—even if i didn’t quite understand all the games. pictures from my phone up on monday.
