zai/mask/alma

we had a new guy come in to join our team today. he's from china, but don't get me wrong now. i must say he appears to be pretty much "zai". in plain terms he looks the competent sort. of course we'll still have to see if he can really hold his own the way he presents himself at first glance. i'm not trying to judge him here but who doesn't want to work with somebody able-bodied enough? i must say the team i'm in is working in a pretty friendly environment here. i dare say IS is one of the larger groups that goes out for lunch more frequently than any other departments where i work. i should say that we're rather tightly knit, blended in an amicable culture with a hint of cold^ jokes to mix.

i've been trying to "acquire" the MASK tv cartoon series for some time now. it's only half done but i hope it won't take too too too long&. i'd started since 1 Feb around this unearthly hour* for the complete set, for which i think it's quite worth it. i'd say it's under one of those gray areas of legality. i mean... come on it hasn't even been aired anywhere/found/sold anywhere (besides ebay) on this island in a proper set for ages now! it's been like 20 years since the series aired$ already... i'm feeling all nostalgically old-schoolish about this right now heh... let me know if you'd like me to share this with you (or some kid who hasn't even heard of this cartoon at all!) although i'm seriously considering putting this up on ebay for locals to get man... i'm not saying it's lucrative but for people who aren't too good in locating such things online and doubt the reliability of offshore online orders, this is one good alternative for them. and hey it's for the effort of me downloading too eh? keke... bah we'll see about that.

in other news... i'd just acquired something real new for rach. from a very far away place. it's for her birthday (i know, it's waaaaay early but the chance couldn't be missed) so i hope she likes it. curious? go probe her about it... =x kekeke#


^ - sarcastic/cynical/narcissistic/everyone's-a-critic kind of jokes.

& - i'm about 57% into the downloading as i blog about it. my combined downloading isn't much to boast about anyway. =\

* - 12.42am to be more precise, at least that was what was stamped on the creation date/time on the first file of the series.

$ - according to theflashsite, it'd aired from 1985 to 1987.

# - oh nothing much... that's about it of my cliché usage of all these footnotes. LOL!
