No words today. Ima layzee.....

















What little memories captured with my ever faithful SE w800i.

women are like apples on trees

The best ones are at the top of the tree.

Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

I've been such a slacker in updating my blog. As usual, I've got tons of excuses for everything... lazy la, busy la, no mood la, whatever la.

Just got back from Koh Samui last last Sunday. I promise I'll blog about it or at least post some cun pictures. It was a company retreat so we took two days off last last week to boogie by the beach over the weekends.

I think everyone suffered some form of karma backlash last week coz it has been a long time since the office was bright and perky around 11pm. This is what my sleeping timechart looked like last week:

Mon: 1am-7am (technically a Tues oredi, but a day doesn't end until I sleep, so there)
Tues: 12.30am-7.30am
Wed: 1am-7.15am
Thurs: 2.30am-7.30am
Fri: 10.30pm-9.30am..... SNOREee.....

And this is on top of the sleep we totally ignored in the land that's always alive. Tired wei.

Yesterday I went to my bro's gf's colleague's wedding. Lucky bugger fell ill and I had to be the replacement. Trust me, he's more glad that he's sick and avoided the whole mingle with gf's colleagues thingy. It was OK, considering I know not anyone there and they were all very very nice. As all Chinese wedding dinner goes, it finished late. Not late late but late enuf for a day before a work day.

I must say tho that I'm bloody amazed by my bro's gf's manager (or something). He is like THE ultimate ladies' man. I have NEVER SEEN any one person commanding so much attention from women.

N-E-V-E-R

I don't know if it has anything to do with his semi celebrity status but I'll give it to him, he sure puts on the charm. Calls everyone darling. Don't misunderstand, I'm not speaking in contempt. I'm just so bloody amazed at all the attention he got without asking for any. Like bees to honey.

I definitely think he upstaged the bride.

Sighh.... I've got shit load of work but instead of diligently cracking my skulls over how to do this asinine evaluation, here I am blogging nonsense. How to finish like that??

STRESS-nyeeeee....

another one bites the dust

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A blink of an eye and another year has gone by. Seemed almost too fast now, doesn’t it?

Last year we had a new Prime Minister and I'm damn proud of him coz he said he'll go after the asses of all the corrupt officials. So far, he's been a man of his words.
Last year I missed many a movie coz I was over working. Don't see how that's gonna change this year too.
Last year most of my friends changed jobs and found something more exciting. Lucky buggers (and I meant that in the nicest way possible!)
Last year I attended more weddings than the year before and will probably attend more in years to come.
Last year I discovered I had wrinkles and figured I should start investing in anti-aging creams.
Last year I learned that it's easy to lose a friend, and even easier to not do anything about it.
Last year I decided to quit being so kay poh over people's birthday coz it's not like my efforts were appreciated.
Last year I argued with a friend and hung up on him. He called back and apologised. We have since agreed to disagree.
Last year I learned to pick myself up coz sometimes even your closest friend can't be there for you all the time.
Last year I learned that things can and do work out in the end, if you don't mess with it too much.
Last year I realised I'm just as happy sipping Sarsi out of a paper cup in the company of people who are important to me, on a New Year's eve gathering.

Quite a bit eh? And I achieved all that without a single resolution last year. Although I'm not very prone to keeping resolutions, I still made this whole list of 'em (see below) in case I got aimless throughout the remaining 364 days.

For 2006, I resolve to:

1) Sponsor a child. Anywhere, be it through a local body or international. But I would go for locally. Help our own people first ma.
2) Sleep more. At least 30 hours from Mondays to Fridays and 16 hours on weekends.
3) Exercise more, next week onwards. No more lousy excuses for not waking up at 7am every Saturday for jogs. And for goodness sake, UTILISE the stupid gym membership I have, if not for the conscious effort of trying to stay healthy, at the very very least for the exorbitant membership fees I pay every month.
4) Not curse or wish evil things at the insane drivers I meet every morning.
5) Be less sarcastic. Ughh… who the hell am I kidding? I will probably break this resolution in the next 5 minutes. Hmm… OK… TRY to be less sarcastic.
6) Not come home in a “high” state on Fridays. Or at least not let my mum catch me in the act.
7) Travel more. Admittedly, this is a fluke coz I have already booked and paid for return air tickets to Solo and Siem Reap. I’m SO BROKE now which is why I need to…
8) Save more, to facilitate the above and also so that I could start my own venture and be MY OWN BOSS. Does 20% of my monthly net salary sound good?
9) Use more brains on my job. Yes… I'm afraid I wing it most of the time and I depend wayyyyy too much on my mentors. How I last so long I do not know…
10) Control my temper. To hold my tongue at times I feel the need to lash back at anyone and not sound so annoyed/pissed off whenever someone annoy/piss me off (only under circumstances where I can let it pass. I can’t stay calm ALL the time… I’m not a saint y’know).

So after going through the list above two times, I've decided that only two of them are realistic enough. So I'm definitely keeping 1 and 7. The rest... well... we'll see how it goes. Do you know of anyone who breaks resolutions faster than moi??? You make some and then you break some.

Cheers!! Happy 2006!!!



May Tuesday be an uneventful working day!
