National woes

I'm foreseeing loads of problems during this year's nationals. As half the MC has disappeared to Korea, they can't approve the online registration system in time. Hence, we're going to do everything.. manually! Good luck to those people who are going to be around to help out with the tournament. I'm not going to be in Singapore. Maybe peiqi........... :p

Procrastination really leads to dire consequences. They should learn how to work faster and get things approved chop chop.

Anyway, there had been so much fun in office. I think i contributed to half the noise level. Heh. Then again, leng's laughter probably overwrite any noise produced by anyone at all. I think we're really prepared to go celebrate during our project in HK next month. Which means, I'm going to put on another 5kg??? ARGH!!

Get a life

Who's going to know what may happen tomorrow? Situations and circumstances change all the time. Changes are necessary and dynamic. Why should we not move with the flow? Just live the moment! Go with the flow!

The good and the bad

I've been in a foul mood for a week. Let me do a quick recall of some people I scolded. Few days ago, I scolded Desmond (aka cheng hui's bro) over the online registration for nationals. No substance guy who CMI, yet still dare to question my understanding of database! WTF! Then i screamed at some cars on the road who seem to love hogging the lane n simply refuse to let me overtake them. Freaking idiots. Screamed at them till i had sore-throat n still ended up being half an hour late for my movie. Totally spoilt my mood for the movie. Damn. Then i scolded my brother for bringing his friends back and allowing them to sleep on my bed. No basic respect for my things at all. And they just booked out of camp n stink like hell!

And my colleague asked me why i seem so angry these days. Surprisingly, i didn't scold the kids at tkd class today. Maybe cos i've got no more voice from all the week's scolding oredi. Or ran out of steam.

Despite all that happened, there were still some happy moments. My secretary, who bought my car license number, struck lottery 3rd prize n bought me tang yuan. I had a bet with the expense claim lady over who was heavier. I won n she bought me lunch. For some reason, i didn't mind losing this bet actually. In fact, i wished i lost. Also went to JB last nite with tammy n got my car fully pumped up once more.

All my colleagues would be back in office next week, and i've organised an outing to JB, with joseph (our new colleague who lives in JB) as the tour guide. A clueless colleague of mine unwittingly told my director about the outing n he asked why he wasn't invited. Now my director knows i hate him. N i don't care.

Gen Y

I took 1 week of leave for the training camp. The 1st couple of weekdays were spent doing the preparations with peiqi n dehua. The camp started from Wed n ended on Fri. Oh my gosh. I didn't realise how pampered the kids were till the camp. I don't know if it's the new generation of kids or jus generation gap. Still, everyone had fun n kept asking when the next camp is.. hmm... I'm just glad that all's well that ends well.

For some unknown reason, I have reinstated my weight to the time when i was back from South Africa. I would have thought that my weight would drop given the amount of stress from the parents calling me non-stop to ask me abt the camp n my colleagues calling me abt work (although i'm on leave???). Maybe in the highly-stressed situation, we over-ordered the camp food n i had to sacrifice n eat more than wat i should.

The week of rest turned out to be tiring. The dark rings around my eyes are pretty bad. My bro said they're worse than my younger sis's, which is bad. I need more sleep. Will need to fetch my grandma back to her house to pick some stuffs up then bring her for lunch tomorrow morning. My poor grandma's knee got twisted when she missed a step a couple of weeks ago. Till now, the pain hasn't subsided. Sighz...

100% medal rate

I'm so happy for my elias kids. Sent 6 of them for the 1st national poomsae tourney n all of them won something. 1 gold, 1 silver, the rest bronzes. So proud of them! :) So it didn't matter tt i had to stay up till 4+am to prepare for the tourney admin n dragged rachel (i actually remember my student's name!) down to help me out. Everything went smoothly.

Most of my weekdays were spent entertaining yet another china colleague, serena, n bringing her to places to eat. Peiqi joined us at tong shui cafe since she didn't allow me to go there on my own! Geez.. Caught the opening of world cup there but went off halfway during the match as the cafe uncle was pissing us off.

Oh yeah, went down zouk on thurs nite to watch the preview of femme quest with elinn n jasmine. Saw joo n a couple of other pple there too. Unbelievably, zouk was packed! Despite them playing quite good music after the preview, we couldn't stay since i had my closing meeting at 8.30 the next morning. Sianz.

Last nite, dehua, elinn, jasmine n me went down to airport after class to keep peiqi company for her nite shift. Once again, they seem to spend most of their time making fun of me. Seriously makes me wonder why i went all the way there to get laughed at. Then again, if i hadn't had gone, they'd still talk behind my back! Is my dressing sense really THAT bad? How come no one told me until the recent years of my life??

Dessert vs Supper

And so i passed my powerboat theory test.. YAY!! Expectedly, the poseidon story was quite bad, so the effects at omni-theatre made up for it. Went to JB with yoyo after that. Next day was cycling at pasir ris beach with my colleagues. Kit kat flew aeroplane last minute, but what's new? Brought them to api-api n we settled there for like 45 min out of the 1 hour we rented our bikes. So much for burning calories.. n we chilled out at fisherman's village after that mini-workout.

Last minute, had a dinner on Saturday evening. Rushed down there but got caught in major traffic jams so i ended up being late for dinner. N late for class subsequently. Elinn came to meet me for drinks. Picked yenyen n kirsten (i think) up n headed to bernies. And Elinn drank herself silly once again. By the time i got home, i think it was around 3am?

Couldn't wake up in time for 9am class the next morning. Fortunately, dehua was there. Had to celebrate my younger sis's birthday early cos my bro was booking in camp by 1pm, so i had to leave earlier too. As u can imagine, i was completely zonked out by the time i went to PC show in the afternoon. Literally a walking zombie. Helped many pple buy many things there, bought my own ram n ink cartridges(of cos) n got out of the human-packed hall. Even the carpark was jammed!

In the evening, peiqi n elinn came to meet me at my colleague's place. Went for dinner @ teo seng, then cheesecake cafe. Peiqi gave me a huge shock when she wanted to go for supper after that! I tot i just had supper at cheesecake cafe?? Peiqi classified tt as "dessert". N elinn n her ganged up to chant "chomp chomp" in the background as i tried convincing them to go home. It was past midnite oredi!

Worked from home today. In a bid to test my ram, i ended up playing HOMM5 the entire morning. Forced myself to start work from afternoon. This is bad..

PC show finally!

After the incident with VJC, yenyen decided to take up the issue with MJC as well. Once again, i had to go down n be peacemaker. Must think how i can get yen yen to cool it n chill. Seriously, kids ARE kids.

I got shot many arrows from big sir n small sir. Dunno why i seem to be a nice target board for people. But i think i wanna get the kids to join in the poomsae tourney this time. Not much time left to train, but still the experience would be good.

Yesterday was the 1st day of PC Show, and guess what? I was there! Hahaa... ok, that's predictable eh? Did my recee in the usual chop chop manner. Will probably go back on Sunday to make my purchase. I really want my 1 Gb ram for oblivion! Pity no 21" monitor, n the 20" monitors they hv look so ugly lor. I mean, if i can think it's ugly, it's gotta be really ugly. I'm still thinking if i shld get the mugan batt for my eten.

Last nite, i watched da vinci code for the 2nd time. Leng wanted to watch it n volunteered to pay for my ticket to re-watch it with her. Like watching MI3 twice wasn't bad enough?? Still, i didn't let her pay for my ticket entirely. But since we caught the 9.35pm show, i fell asleep mid-way. I'm really sleepy. N i've got 2 calls this morning from 8am. Fortunately, i didn't doze off or talk nonsense (i think..).

Will be having my powerboat test AGAIN tonite. Dun hv a good feeling abt it, but i'll still catch poseidon at omni-theatre after that with yoyo. Makes up for any bad feelings i'll have. Should i go JB after that?
