Just back from work
Just got home from a hard day work and practice at the driving range. Hmm... Not too bad a day! Feeling fresh and re-charged even though its only mid-week.
Work was as usual ..... NORMAL. Nothing spectacular and worth mentioning. Day just flew by with my "outstanding” sub-folder in my mailbox growing. Haha... Too many things on hand and decided to "Tai-Ji" some across to my guys to heck! Felt bad initially but guessed this has to be done to allow me some breathing space.
**I heard one of my guy said .... "F*#@" when i told him to check his mail for another action item** Sigh...but decide not to be soft hearted. In summary.. I threw him 3 arrows today. Issit too much?
Chandru (My dearest frenz in base) had a chat with me with regards to life and asked me "How long do i intend to be hiding in my own cocoon".. I failed to answer him.
That kept my mind thinking for a long while too while driving home and i still feel that the past had all along been dragging me. I had kept me in that pool of mud even though i have been trying to get myself off it. Guess only new challenges and a new motivations in life can erase all these memories and allow me to start afresh. But how/when/where am i going to find this!!
Still believe that God and time will tell.... Sound loser enough.. But that Anz...

A beautiful Sunday
Day started at 9am with Bug travelling to ECP for the usual weekend exercise.
The roads were quite empty today. Guess mostly people are still in bed!
As usual, the rest are late. haha... and I started blading on my own fist and only to realise that Joe had to park at MacDonald’s as this kakis had no blades. So that means me had to 1) drive to Mac or 2) Blade from Fort Rd. I chose the latter.
In the end, this is the total distance covered.. Longest ever!
Fort Road =====> Mac ====> Bedok =====> NSRCC =====> Bedok =====> Mac. Completely shack after that. Came home, washed up and slept and had a bad dream! Really bad and it’s still vivid in my brain. Got up in a state of shocked.
Work up and started reading to finish up "The curious incident of the dog in the night time" which I eventually did.
Was expecting a reunion of the parents which wasn't mentioned. sigh... so sad.. and I though it would end like that so that Christopher can have a healthy family to draw strength from. Anyway.. Horray.. another down. Maybe time to start on "Flowers for Algernon"?? But I just bought another book, "The C words" - which is about commitment in a relationship. haha... so which one should I start first. hmmm.. Dilemma..

Lovely day
The day im been waiting for.. And its beautiful.
Lunch at Wasabi Bristro is fantastic. The food is lovely and the ambiance is simply amazing. Had tempura set meal which comes with salad and fruits. *definitely a must go for all Jap lovers*
Tried watching "The longest Yard" for the 3rd time and again i failed. The view from the restaurant stopped our track this time. We decided to sit and watched the world go by than to catch the show. haha.. lazy arent we!
Sat in Gelare cafe reading my book in the afternoon and slipping on my Cafe Latte was something that i never experienced before. Quite interesting except that i got bored after a while. haha... felt like sleeping.. hehe..
Football was next with Liverpool against Birmingham. Ended in draw again. Sigh.. 2 - 2
Sunday's coming and its exercise day...
Song for the day....

CORRINNE MAY - SAVE ME
I drift I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, Im yearning
I'm like putty in your hands
I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a rollercoaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who I am
Just take my hand and
Save me from this place
Heavens knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you
I had a dream that I
Was falling from the sky
At 90 miles an hour
I was bound to crash and die
But out of nowhere you came and rescued me
There must be some grace in the touch of your face
I'm so happy that I've found you
I'm no longer afraid
Oh' cause you
Save me from this place
Heavens knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting
Before I met you
Life was slow-mo
So slow-mo
I though I had it figured out
But you came and turned my whole world upside down
Save me from this place
Heavens knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows you've come to
Save me from this place
Heavens knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you
I drift I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, Im yearning
I'm like putty in your hands
I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a rollercoaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who I am
Just take my hand and
Save me from this place
Heavens knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace

Weekend Update
@@SAT@@
Wanted to have Wasabi Bistro in Oriental Hotel with Joe on Sat, but ended up eating Kyo - Nichi in Maina Sq instead. Hmm.. World of difference, but we still enjoyed the meal isnt it.
Guess what.. saw ZQ while walking to Marina Sq. Wat a coincidence! She was with her frenz celebrating a bday and it was nice to see her in town. **she dressed really well** - thumbs up.. But Joe said she's getting thinner by the day. haha....
Both of us had wanted to catch "The Longest Yard - Adam Sandler" but somehow the show timing wasnt favourable and we decided to catch it some other day. In the end, we ended up shopping in Marina --> Suntec --> Funan and Joe bought the Ipod Nano which he had all along wanted. It was really slick and nice. No buys for me as there wasnt anything that caught my eye (though there was a Levis sale). Well.. shouldnt spent so much either!
Nite time was spent celebrating Jack'd Bday. Hmm... and i forgot that the gathering was actually a celebrating and didnt bring any gifts with me. OMG.. feel so "peiseh" to be there empty handed while the rest brought something along. Hmm.. Made me looked so bad. But the party was enjoyable anyway.
@@SUN@@
Awaken by the roaring thunder at 5am this morning even though i slept at 2am~! Damn... Sacriface that i ahve to pay for being a light sleeper. But forced myself to sleep anyway. Still raining by the time i eventually woke for blading and decided to call the rest to see if we are still going. - ended up in Bishan instead for breakfast with them at Cafe Cartel. Haha...
Tried watching "The Longest Yard - Adam sandler" but to no avail again as the time was again unfavourable. sigh.. guess its fated. Bought some Tv cables to wired up my room but found that i bough the wrong one instead! kaoz... wata waste of my time and money.
Spend the day mostly at home trying to fixed up the wireless connection at home, but still having some problems. Sigh... just not talented in computer gudgets. haha.. shall wait for my genius brother to return and fix it up for me. haha... that what brothers are meant for--- be bullied!
Liverpool Vs Manu .. exciting game but ended goalless..

How You Are In Love |
In relationships, you tend to be a bit selfish. You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard. |
How Are You In Love?
PAIN/HURT/SORROW
Damn..
Got "Foxtrot" today by boss and missed my ceremony. Big boss wasnt happy that i missed it. Too many things built up suddenly and i was stressed out. Mind went a complete blank. If not for Chan.. I would have been in deep shit.
It doesnt help when my chaps doesnt know a thing about the processes and not keen to read up to find out about all the different procedures and rules in place.
Issit my fault that i havent taught them well?
I cant possibly be explaining all the time where to find the data and why issit like that... Its just too much for me to handle
Scold them? Blame them? and ME the badie again... I had enough...
Sorry.. in a bad mood today. Just couldnt accept the cold fact in reality that ppl are just working to earn a living? and when things are not re-iterated, they are swept under the carpet hoping that no one will uncover it again.
Are there still PRIDE in their work? Are they conscious of what they draw at the end of the month? Any nightmares when they sleep?....Guess there isnt any..
Probably its just ME.. still living in my own ideal world vis-a-vis the perfectionist in ME. Unable to co-exist in this reality.
Maybe im fated to be unhappy...

Bug's day....
Covered almost all the expressways today! kaoz.. must have travelled too much.
On my way to work: KJE ----> BKE [2 expressways]
- Work was okie. Quite a fair amount of work starting to pile up again, which is usual as the 4 of us likes to leave the work for each other. Starting to get used to the fact that im the usual one clearing the shit. Who else but ME!
Nothing significant happened at work.. Another normal day. crop in my dark dark room, doing my work
After work to Suntec: CTE [1 expressway]
Watch "The Brothers Grimm" Matt Damon impressed me in this show. Not the usual funny character that he usually plays like "Stuck on you"
His hairstyle and dressing in this show was impresive too. *Thumbs up*
~~Y you should watch:~~
This movie has all the elements of fairytale, mystery, suspense and romance all packed into one.
Famous liner in Snow white: "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. Who's the Fairest of Them All"
After that, went to Tampinese: ECP [1 expressway]
Head for home: PIE ----> BKE -----> KJE [3 expressways]
Should have used the TPE instead, as i think the distance would have been nearer!
Almost fell asleep while driving home. Kinna tired after a long day. Yawning...
Think the expressways not covered are SLE, AYE and TPE.

At the Driving range
Back from golf lesson and feeling tired and numbness in the finger. Its a symptom that i always get after that..
My back didnt hurt as much as before, which is obviously a good sign. However, Mr Chen wasnt really happy with my technique and shock his head on many ocassions till he gave up to coach benjamin and calvin. Sigh... ""HE HAS GIVEN UP HOPE ON ME!""
1) Your down swing needs improvement
2) Maintain your CG
3) Dont exert too much and force the shot.. you need to get the basic rite first
4) Turn ur wrist when you hit
5) Dont create extra motions that arent suppose to be there
6) Body will move after you hit the ball.. NOT together.
7) Dont bend your left knee
8) Extend your arm fully
9) Finish your shot properly
Sigh... So many things to improve upon. Llooks like im really not talented in this, but ben says that my shots are really good, though i love his shot better.
Haha.. human are always envious of each other rite!

Day 1 of leave:
1) Going to re-shuffle my room.
Im proud to say, i did a complete makeover for my room. Took a total of 6 hrs to get it done. *Phew* love my new style and my new furniture
2) IKEA shopping to get a new book shelfstand and probably a chair.
Ikea wasnt that crowded, which was good since i can take my time to consider the different bookshelves that are available. Settle for "untreated wood" since it match my other furniture. I must say, im a Ikea freak and i would probably do up my own home next time in Ikea style.
Bought a shelf, vase and some flowers to deco my room, painting and a wine holder. hehe.... had a hard time trying to fit all the stuff into the car!
3) Arrange all my photos nicely..
4) Go for a jog
5) read my books.
Item 3-5 are all not done. sigh... hardly had enough time to rest after the exhaustive deco. But i went bowling.
Bowl well today. horray.. finally gpt some decent games and consistency. ** Singapore Open** is coming!! so i gotta be in top condition for it.
Any half more day of break before i gotta return to office.. Time really flies when im on vacation. Sigh..

Smart and Charming
I came across this article while reading a female magazine (dont ask me why im reading that!) in office today. Kinna interesting and wanna share with you ppl. ** Btw, the Mag belongs to one of the 3 females in my office**
Its about a man in his fourties. Highly successful and charming and with a very stable income, but this guy is still SINGLE. So wat went wrong.
His reasons were.. (Unsure if its true)
#NO woman could take the place of Mother..... I think this is a lie
# 100 % focus on career, spritual fulfilment, social work and being fabulously gay.... I kinna agree on this point
#Still await for scientist to perfect the robo-lovedoll.. this i tot was damn funny.
The interesting thing about this atricle is that its kinna proven that no one pities SINGLE man when any idiot can get themselves hitch (which is pretty true when you see how some nerds on the streets have gf that i can only imagine of). Are single man really pitiful was something i started to ask myself... Hmmm....
Comments from woman includes::
# read more news regarding vietnamese mailorder brides... (My colleague said that to me too!!)
# You are not getting younger or taller... (Mum havent said that to me)
# Why so fussy? You are not brad pitt... Hmm..even brad pitt is now SINGLE.. haha
I believe, the point is not about being fussy. I would say that its experience that has taught me to open my eyes wider to see the world clearer. Warning signs are more vivid as what was mentioned in this article, "a new organ for smelling troubles"
For me the search for her continues, and hopefully i can write something about finding true love soon. haha...
** Corr mei mei... Good luck in our search! If by the time, we are still fruitless.. then you can always have me! haha**

A long awaited break
Im on leave for the next 1.5 days.. Yippie... Wanted to make it 2 actually, but had to attend a meeting this Wed afternoon. Damn... Spoilt my plans., but at least better than nothing.
Things to do while im on vacation
1) Going to re-shuffle my room. Guess the setup is too untidy and i will need to readjust all the furniture to make things more assessible.
2) IKEA shopping to get a new book shelfstand and probably a chair.
3) Arrange all my photos nicely..
4) Go for a jog
5) read my books.
Shall make full use of this vacation. Time and tide waits for no man..

Sept 11
This day, on the 4th anniversary of the attack...Let us reflect on that incident and never to take homeland security for granted. All of us have a part to play.
We should continue to stay vigilant to prevent adversary attacks.
Total Defence.. We can do it. =p

Tired once more....
Drove to work using an unfamiliar route and evidently got myself all lost in cck. (Stupid rite!)haha.. First time that i ever went to the remote part of Sungei Kudat and getting myself all mixed up in this industrial estate.
Ultimately... Im 5 mins late for work... well.. " talk about being smart"
The day went by quickly with boss not around today (AGAIN!). Think he is in the "bo chap" mode since he's leaving soon and poor me gotta slog hard for the job meant for 2 of us. His arrows seems to be getting further by the day and poor Bug having to plug them out one by one. How i wish i can put on my shiny bullet proof armour (as wat corr says), but it seems that it just pierces through me even though im well camouflaged.
Think i need a long break. From the environment, people and the work. Its draining me and im feeling it. Im no longer as happy as i used to be, though im still loving what im doing. The Man, Machine, Medium in office is slowing driving me crazy. How many times do i still have to be the *B* in order for things to be done. Im loosing frenz in office.
Luckily, the weekend is approaching. My inner Batt is charging ever so slowly and drying too fast on weekdays. haha.. How can i get myself all fired up again? *A new job (improbable for the next 2.5 yrs), A new working environment (not likely) , stop being perfectionist (possible), or a new found paradigm (possible)
Many of us will probably choose the easy way out and move along the path of least resistance(rightfully so), but at this stage of Bug's life, i thought that this would probably be unwise for me to do so. (Or maybe Bug's always been an attention seeker and slowing down reflects on a failure). I dont wanna give up!
With problems and dilemma like that, how can i continue to motivate myself to soar higher up in my career. Maybe to some, im probably pouting nonsense. haha...

POLO club
I went to the Turf club to watch horses racing with Jeff and Eric yesterday, after Jessie kindly donated her mum's precious owner's lounge tickets.
Wow... the place is really cool and well decorated. Jessie's mum was kind enough to even book seats for us and we had a good overview of the race course. Kinna "suaku" as this was my first time into the turf club. but i would say, this isnt just a place for horse betting. There is a nice cafeteria (though the stuff are ex) serving food as well as nicely dressed sales executives sitting at the betting counter ready for you to make your placement.
Know nuts abt horse betting! But Jess's dad was keenly showing us how it is done and was eagerly showing us his top picks for each race.
It was really nice to see how the race are being conducted and how the gamblers analyse the weight, length and trainer of each individual horses.. in short.. too chim for me...
Anyway, had a nice time over in turf club, though i think i will never understand the race!

Choices.... A, B or C
Recently i came across an article on choices in life and how fate has been toying with the choices we made in life. Pretty interesting and wanna share how i, presently in a dilemma, is thinking of the choices i have on the table.
Probably shant talk abt it since its pretty sensitive and might hurt someone along the process if names were mentioned. Also dont wanna end up on the wrong side of the straits times too! So came up with an analogy to express the situation that im onto.
3 paths presents before me at a cross road that im in.
0000000000001/A /
0000000_____ / 0/_____
0000000_ME _ 00______ B
000000000000\ 0\C
Each path represents an option. I came from path A to where i am now. But that was a few year back when i walked that path. However, the entrance to path A states "Do not enter"..
I love walking path A as the scene along this path is beautiful and smooth. No uphill or slopes that makes the walking difficult. But it is now closed! Sigh... Y Y Y??? Should i ignore the " do not enter sign and walk this path again? Knowing that things may have probably changed this time round and road may not be as smooth sailing as before. Landscape may have changed too and no longer scenic. I might also return to where i will be now if i try walking his path again. Is this road still walkable?
Path B seems hilly and undulating. Looks like there will be plenty of hardship if i intend to walk this path. I was told by some that there were plenty of wild animals along this road which could lead me to danger. Shld i still give it a try even tough this path seems unpredictable? Will the pot of gold be at the end of this road if i persist, knowing that i might be harmed? The initial tot i have is one that isnt favourable, but could things change if i start to walk? hmmm....
Path C seems to be a long long walk without any idea where it will lead me to. There could be splits roads in this where it will just lead me round and round. No one knew what path C leads to and walking along this road will offer me with new experiences and new adventures. But do i have the time to explore these options and opportunities?
