Time for a new post.

Wah.. realised that i last update my BLOG since 07 Dec. That like12 days ago... wah... been so very busy, juggling all the things in life. 24 hrs a days just flashes by ever so quickly.

Boss "chu" stun again when he told me he had to go back to Australia for a briefing... "yin liao loh".. wat can i say... he further stun me when he said he would like to take 3 days off.. (you are the boss, what can i say... !!) Decided to endure this and wait for my power leave in Jan.. haha... Hongkong - CNY - **still thinking if i should to another country** (anyone wanna travel... Im free till 10 Feb)

Watched Chestnut, 2 weekends ago and told Jeanno that i would certainly BLOG this. Its damn funny... haha.. It talked about the significant issues raised over the year for singapore, ranging from NKF attentions, to star/president charity shows, to spoofing star wars and the musical "Sound of Music".. Thumbs up to Jonathon Lim and Hossan Leong.They were marvelous!! Next year show will be their 10th anniversary and will certainly be worth watching.. ** I shall try not to be late the next time round**

Since then, my life been evolving round computers and emails. sigh... sad man with a sad life! Working in a fire department which has constant fire spreading all around. **more white hair too** and things doesnt help in this festivities mood whereby most ppl are away, while deliverables remain unchanged. sigh... **shaking head once again** ---seems like this is becoming more of a complaint blog of mine..

2) Painstakingly completed the Jig Saw Puzzle yesterday.. Kudos to myself!! haha
3) Still need to get my Xmas present for all my dear frenz.... getting late... OMG... Xmas cards too... **siaoz**

Joke # Ironic answers to health #

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolonglife. Isthis true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, andthat's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everythingwears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

---------------------------------------------
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits andvegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables.So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass(green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetableproducts. <Hmm.. I think thats how ZQ got her vege intake>

----------------------------------------------
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, tequila is made out of cactus, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

----------------------------------------------
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have body fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. <thats lame.....>

----------------------------------------------
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?

A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it.How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

----------------------------------------------
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a littlesoft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

---------------------------------------------
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans--anothervegetable!!! It'sthe best feel-good food around!

---------------------------------------------
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

--------------------------------------------
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!


Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptionsyou may have had about food and diets!Remember my happy little chums. Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skidin sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolatecoated strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming -WOO HOO!What a Ride!

to misery.... and a full lined up weekend

Battery running low, deadline edging close, workload getting high, pimples getting more and arrows still flying... i sometimes wonder what have i got myself into.. =p

Enough of complaints and back to reality. The day started with yet another busy day. "fireman" started fighting fire since early morning. Needed to rush a report by 10am this morning. sigh... and that big "" --------> "" just came flying towards me, as if i have a ""pls shoot me" sign pasted on me. haha....

[The hall 8 quote of "im the man on the moon, dont shoot me", just flashed across my mind] haha... guess im still longing for those days back n university. (how i wish i can be back as a student all over again... :o)
Every mins seems like hours and days like years.. (seems to be exaggerating here! but was telling chandru that my workload is piling up like a greedy man buffet's plate)

Im already looking forward to the coming weekend already. haha... time seems to passby ever so slowly.
activities lining up this weekend:

1) finish up the jig saw puzzle
2) wash mitsu, its damn dirty now... sigh...
3) catch "pride and prejudice"
4) SSO - Chopard Xmas concert
5) Nutcracker III

Looking forward to my 2 weeks leave in late Jan..... Disney land awaits me....

Climbing out of the shit hole... Maybe momentarily

I was blogging last night until the screen blank out on me!! Damn... shall make another attempt to recall what i wrote and pen them down! (My blog’s getting boring.....)

Looking back.. I have been in this shit hole for over a year.. time flies...

As Jeff was saying over wine last friday with the guys.. "We have dug ourselves deeper into this pile of shit, set up by my dear fellow colleagues"... It was quite funny when he said that. **Everyone had a good laugh too**

So, boss is finally back.. Nice to see the fat man back in office... which also means that the exclusive parking lot, which i have been happily using for the last 7 weeks were o longer mine... sigh.. but who cares about parking lot when it means less shit for me.... but as i find out though the day itself, it wasnt meant to be so. (Im still stuck in shit!)

As Andrew Matthews mentioned in his book: "Happiness Now", there was a section that highlight that a person adapt to the environment and when stuck in a smelly toilet for some time, he eventually get used to it and shit doesnt smell as bad after all... Maybe that why adapting to the environment will ultimately make one happy... But i beg to differ... Im not really that happy given the tonnes of work and the flying arrows that comes towards me daily...sigh.... the massive amount of white hair on me can vouch so.... **Time to get a dye**... (For the wrong reason!)

Anyway, glad that boss is finally back. but sid, deep and chan are consecutively taking turns for their trip. sigh.... still no time to take a short breather...

well.. looking at the bright side, the year end bonus are coming! (though it isnt alot, but at least something to look forward to!)...

A shitty Anz...

Sun...

Woke up this morning at 10am.. good rest and wanted to wash wifie.. but as usual.. was lazy as the sun was blazing. =p (excuses)

so decided to play jig saw puzzle before i meet up with the Uni guys to blade. haha... completed more than half the puzzle after 3 hours of hard work.. haha

all the pieces look so similiar and i had a hard time piecing them altogther. haha... **damaging to my perfect eyes** haha.... what is left now are all the same colours... hhaha... think will take a long time to get it done. =p

left home at 2pm to meet up with the Mecha guys. haha... havent seen them for so long. and it was fun blading in ECP after i have been busy with all my work for the last 6 weeks. a well deserved break, before the next wave. **spotted more white hair.. sigh... growing old soon...**

Dinner with the guys was fun too.. alot of food, ranging from satay been hoon, stingray, musscles, chicken wings, satay, beef noodles.. mummy.... haha.. and very full too..

watched stars award... nothing fanastic..The usual ppl won. Not many surprises.. though the field were alot tougher than before..

Time for bed....0730 tml... sigh.. monday blues...

Sat...

Orchard was crowded over the weekend as i was out shopping for Xmas. Guess everyone was scrumbling for gifts for the Xmas season... and to admire the Xmas lighting that is put up by the shopping malls as well as along Orchard.

Talking abt that... I have yet to get any gifts for all my frenz.. haha... (But i have bought alot of gifts for myself!) Was shopping along Pargon when Ethen, the 6 yrs old musician, was seen playing the drumb outside Paragon. I must say he is really good for someone his age. Confident and classy in playing, though i cant really appreciate. but i must say.. some ppl who are probably 5x his age cant play as well as he does. =p

Caught Aeon Flux on sat evening.. Well, short film and predictable. not much fighting scene too. probably 5/10. So guys... do watch it if u really have time and the money to spend! haha...


Sat night was spent playing MJ with the kakis. haha... **For the first time... I won money!!** Horray.. Horray.... 8 bucks in all.. not too bad for a beginneer like me. hmm... but there are still tonnes of things that i do not understand in the game... (all shi fu's, pls be patient with me... i will take a longer time to stack the tiles and process which one to throw.. so dont get agitated!)
