Today is wayang day

Today is a wayang (A Malay term: theatre performance. Now, it also means an act of pretence..in this case pretend to be busy) day in office.

Yeah...the CNY mood is engulfing everyone in the office.

There will be a NIAN HUI (annual company dinner)this evening. All of us are very excited about this NIAN HUI.

I believe this NIAN HUI means a lot more to my Shanghai colleagues. 2005 has been tough. Just a couple of days ago, they have received some good news. I believe they can now let their hair down and really rejoice this evening.

I will be helping them to capture their moments of rejoice.

My sincere wish to all my Shanghai colleagues....be well.

Last evening

The botak VP of the company that I working for, came in this morning and ask me how did I manage to cut down my weight.

Duh! I m speechless.

Anyway, I believe it is very important for one to be able to hold a conversation. Very important. I m learning.

==================================================
I had over-exert myself last evening. Did a 7k run on the treadmill plus 4 sets of circuits. I was almost dead after workout.

This morning, my whole body aches like a 80 year old rheumatic. Arrgh....ouch

==================================================
I realise there is a USPool table near the gym. Yeah I realise it after 8 weeks of stay....Am I not observant?

Will be there this evening. Who knows I might get lucky? *snigger*

Knotty mind

I can’t answer this question: Do the ends justify the means of reaching them?

Spammed by Fengshui Master

Got spammed by a very famous fengshui master. Some fengshui tips of the dae

"While on a date, don’t near the toilets, the kitchen or the entrance to the restaurant. You don’t want to be disturbed by unpleasant smells, busy waiters or patrons going in and out of the restaurant." >I felt like an idiot after reading this.

"Let each member of your family eat facing his/her best and most auspicious direction." >huh!

"Do not have a water feature in the bedroom. Activating the presence of water leads to loss - loss of money and loss of relationships. Water features refer to paintings with river, waterfalls and lakes. They also refer to aquariums. Glasses of water by the bedside are fine." >Who on earth in the right frame of mind would have an aquarium in the bedroom? Water beds are big NO NO lor........duh

WTF!!!

four great emotions in one evening

A piece of overwhelming good news from the office followed by a pleasing dinner at Hooters......

....savouring the spicy buffalo wings and the sight of hot shanghainese babes in voluptuous-low-cut-tight-TT-tops and orange hot pants.... yeah babeh....

I am lucky in a way that they are lining up so close to me performing some cheers that I can't recall what they are cheering about........coz I am busy making feeble attempts not stare at their boobs...as expected, i have failed miserably.

Sorry, if I have appeared to be shallow and rude...I know I am a big time sucker for boobs

.... dat's the way a ha a ha, I like them a ha a ha.

infidel....heh

Despite the constant pairs of distraction, I have had a very meaningful conversation with my friend, my mentor, my coach. We have shared our experiences in life and most importantly, I have made my first attempt to come to terms with my screwed up mindset. I really felt "released" from my caged up mind.

I can't deny the hot hooter babes may have helped in one way or another.

Yeah..babeh.

==================================================

Called home. I am expecting another cliche conversation with my mum. Yet a simple question she asked.....melted me.

"NI GOU QIAN HUA MA?" (Do u have enough to spend?)

I think in her eyes, I am still a kid asking for pocket money from her.

I believe sometimes I have been taking her for granted. I promise I will stop using the word "cliche" on her.

I almost sobbed. Almost. Let me emphasise...almost ok?

===================================================

Realized one of my colleagues will be leaving for a better life in US.

We are considered the "pioneers" of our section. We have shared our experiences and have unconditionally heard each other's frustrations (I think I am the one complaining more than him) for the past 3 years.

I give him a call immediately and promise I will meet him before he leaves for US.

Gonna miss u, dude.

====================================================

I have been told that one of my friends is undergoing a very difficult period of her life. How I wish I can help, but I know it is not within my means now.

I believe one shan't feel guilty about this. Cos it will be worse if ya friend sensed ya guilt. Ya friend will be guilt-stricken too. Double dose!

Never make anyone feel guilty. Never. Never. Never.

=====================================================

Out of my control

It will take me another 5+ days before I head back for reunion dinner.

I am trying my best to get everything done before I go ..... but I know there are things that are out of my reach and control.

Just this morning, I was told that the technician, who was supposed to help me in the system testing, will be heading back to his hometown for CNY tomorrow. I wasn't told when I was planning the testings. Damnit!!!! I thought I can finish all testings by this week.

I am very anxious to get my tasks accomplished as quickly as I could because I would have easily exceeded my project manager's current expectations; and most importantly, I could make use of the remaining days after CNY, backpacking in Beijing, Xi-An or even Inner Mongolia.

There's nothing I can do now other than picking my nose as I try to organise my files and folders, clearing mails and reviewing puny cliche test scripts ....


If only I know it will turn out this way, I would have.......

(there's an old cantonese saying... YAU ZHOU CHEE, JIAO MOU HAK YI... literally it means if I know the outcome, there wouldn't be any beggars. That's a common problem everybody face, Hindsight)

Scary Movies and Nah Buay Banana

I am a sucker for scary movies.

Last night, I watched Exorcist - the beginning (HBO).

Alone. Lights out.

Yeah.

Scared the shit out of me. Kept swearing S**t, f**k and NBCB.

Hmm.....Do u guys have the habit of swearing when u are frightened?

Swearing seems to be my instinctive reflex when I am suddenly frightened.

My friend say I should holler some fruit names when I feel the urge to swear....


but.... but... will be very weird if I holler BANANA, ORANGE, APPLE whenever I am watching scary movies leh.... very weird....
