Work...and...Work

call me a whiner...but i honestly think i work alittle too much for my own good...cant rem when was the last time i met up with my friends....at least the most of them...time for me to take a step back..even if it means delaying some of my work (not that it already isnt delayed...) there are signs telling me to chill...

1. i'm pretty much hounded by not juz boss but my grassroot leaders and external agencies on the average of every 15 mins...

2. i pretty much can never rem a time when i could sit at my desk and feel that i have finished my work...

3. i rem my chairmen's email better than i can rem some of my closest friends...

and the last straw came last nite when of all things to dream..i dreamt abt work..where everyone...REALLY everyone...bombarded mi for messing up the big event that was yet to happen...people hu noe mi noe i dun usually rem my dreams...sigh...i cant rem dreaming abt smooching a hot lady but i rem getting blasted...

"i should learn from my colleague...carry more balls...this way ur hands will be too full to do any other work..."

Of pretty miss saigons and cheating viets~

And so I have gone and am back from the place famous for the play "Miss Saigon", water puppets, and the Vietcong. To say that it was happening would be an understatement...

1. i lost my voice for all 4 days i was there

2. i got teased all the time with the Viet girls

3. i blushed all the time becuz of that

4. i got cheated cheated of abt US$5 from a cabbie

5. i heard of people hu got snatched of their passports and cameras

6. i got to know my boss a little better...and i dare to say its the same for her...

7. i got to know more of my GRLs, and know them better

8. i showed them my working capabilities (or rather the lack of it...)

9. i'm glad that there were no major cock-ups...(actually i cant realli remember any...)

10. and finally, despite the odds, i actually enjoyed myself :)

"Round 2 for Ho Chi Minh anyone???"

fly...to not enjoy~

a couple of hours from now...i'll be up on a budget airline...flying to a certain part of Asia on the context of a Committee Retreat...and cuz its a retreat...there muz be work done...and unfortunately...the work to be done is gonna be pretty much done by urs sincerely...cuz first of all...all the committee members going, regardless of their positions...are already considered my bosses...so naturally, they wont do much work...

then comes my boss..whose onli reason to bring mi along is to pick up the unglam, unappreciated, un-thanked jobs which will not be recognised..naturally...that means the onli things she'll be doing are all the upfront, wayang stuff...cuz her boss is also going...

so becuz i'm literally the smallest fry at the retreat...i can honestly forget abt trying to enjoy myself...should there be any chance...oh well..

"and i have to work the next day immediately after i'm back..."

of weddings and best men...

and so finally my dear friend of more than a decade has wed his beau...and while being one of the five brothers for the wedding is no joke...i guess i could say i realli enjoyed the experience :)

the preparations the nite b4..the lack of sleep becuz of that...the moving off of the wedding convoy...the arrival...the battle negotiations with the sadists beautiful bridesmaids, who made us drink super concentrated lime juice in baby milk bottles, eat cakes with curry powder, wasabe and belachan chilli, raw strips of bitter gourd, and finally wear disposable lady underwear bearing the bride's name...how cool is that? then again..i dun think my stomach is ever gonna feel normal ever again....

travelling back and forth from the bride's and groom place was more exciting then i tot...when we brothers decided to surprise the wedding couple by having a photo shoot in the middle of the highway...the last minute trips and errands we had to do...oh the adrenaline...heh...

to the wedding dinner...i've never had a busier dinner in my life b4...but then again...i think it was all worth it, when i saw the groom give his heartfelt speech..see the bride's tears of joy roll down her face...i think it is times like this that make all the preparations and hard work worth it :)

i thoroughly enjoyed the experience...and wish my brother Ming Yan and wife Kelly to have a blissful marriage, have children soon (there are 5 godfathers waiting...), and live happily ever after!

wait til i get to upload the video and photo montage of the wedding!!!!

A "new" PC! and a walkathon to follow!

after months of deliberating...and resisting of temptation, i finally decided to install my Windows 7 Ultimate on my 3 yrs old laptop! though i got lotsa new installations to do...i kinda like it...faster...less rubbish in the harddisk...its like a fresh start! hopefully it can still support my games though, not that i play much...heh...

On another note...in a few hrs time...i'm going on a suicide mission of doing my first ever 42km marathon...worse still i haven trained....AT ALL!!! i guess i can crawl on the up slopes and flats...while roll down on the down slopes...

"if ur looking for mi at the marathon...look to the grounds...i should be lying around...somewhere..."

blood galore~

becuz yest was my blood donation drive event...i had to work on a Sunday...then again...in my line of work...working on a weekend is nothing new already...so i'm pretty used to it...onli that yest...i decided to donate too...

i finally had my virgin experience of donating blood...and it had to be when my mother decided to come to my work place to donate too, when i had my colleagues there too, when i had my grassroot leaders there too...happening i say...

when it was my turn to donate...i had a few of them standing beside mi...with all of them unanimously deciding that i should be donating 2 bags instead...1 needle stuck up each arm...if it means i could take a week's MC......BRING IT ON!!!!!

"oh yeah...i had my company's appreciation dinner the nite b4...good...not great...heh"

jaywalking~

been wanting to blog abt this for awhile now...heh...everytime i walk to my workplace...i usually jaywalk across the only road i have to cross...and i usually jaywalk right in front of a police station...heh...the irony...
