Loopsided Sat/Sun

Had a unusually hectic Saturday.

I went to town to have a breather... it's been quite awhile since I have been there and my goodness... things have changed quite abit... not in a "mountain turtle" way... but more like "I really needa start roaming around the town area more" way ... tsk tsk

I was looking to buy some jeans and clothes... hahaha ... which fortunately I didnt splurge... haha

Anyway, the roaming finished at around evening time, whereby I proceeded to Sembawang for a wake of a customer's mother. I hung around abit there and spoke quite abit to him; turns out, he and my ancestory both came from the same place in China... what a pleasant coincidence !!

By the time I left the wake, it was around 830 ish already. So from there, I took the train all the way to Bouna vista station, and then walked to Holland V for come chilling with SC n Gina. I didnt drink much, just abit only and for the toking cock session... so finally we left and I reached home by 12 MN...

An absymal Saturday i must say... and an unusually quiet Sunday... lol

No bball due to rain...

Oh well enough of my rumblings... gotta prepare for war again tomorrow... Safety Officer here ... needa prepare for safety briefing talking to the Banglahs... hahahaha

Have a great week ahead people !!!


Luv,
Sleepy Laoda

YOG Table Tennis

"The game has no character to it" (Men's finals)

"Chaotic is the style of the match; that how they will win the game" (Men's Fianls)

"What an aggressive match" (comment was made on a defensive player....)

Whoever is the one commenting in the YOG table-tennis matches needs to be shot alive. *Roll eyes*

And we really need to get someone who knows at least abit about the game to do some worthwhile commentary...

--------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, no offence to him... but is it me or does the African coach look like a giraffe ?

tsk tsk....

Immature beings need to be put to SLEEP !!!

Pple who know me well enough know that I am someone who can take "NO" as an answer. I appreciate honesty, and I think it is still the best policy. But it irks me when I am left dangling halfway, trying to decipher issit a yes or a no ? "Yes I am interested" and "no I am not interested" so difficult to say meh ?

What happened is that I am trying to "chase" a resume from a friend. This friend had expressed interest in one of the openings and I am all for it because I think this friend makes a good candidate. What pisses me off is the way this person went missing after that. I have a busy schedule too leh... and there I am wasting my tongue and saliva telling my boss about it, and that he has to come and ask me about it again this week ... *roll eyes*

At least have the decency to get back to me for an answer you know... it's not like I would force it upon you or something... At the end of the day it was the person who started expressing an interest to begin with... sheesh

It is so tough to communicate with immature beings....

Headache again.....

It is business afterall .... friend or not....

Working in a service oriented industry taught me to handle adversities as it comes. Afterall, as I always say, customer can be a$$holes, shit can happen, but ultimately the good "after transaction" service would most definitely go a long way in establishing a continuity from the customer, especially when the trust has been set.

And, the last thing that I would want is to tell a customer to handle the problem themsleves while I reap the benefits.... a very easy way out if you ask me....

Conversely, if I have to settle the "problem" myself, why would i need the service to begin with right ? And why would I need someone to help me do it... ?

It was an opportunity I had to give out no doubt, but if this is the kinda service i am getting, why as a customer would I continue next year ? {>.<}

Oh well, no hard feelings... people have flaws; and it's business afterall.

My Birthday - Time check for my list

It has been a mad rush season for the birthday periods. I have just came back from Labuan, and then rushed into courses and moving offices. When everything was sorted out, I was overwhelmed with the added responsibilities of coordinating/ sales and marketing efforts, on top of new ops projects and "Zum Si Dong" safety duties ... I was joking the other day to my colleagues that the only things I dont do at work is :

1) Clean the toilet
2) Do gardening
3) Drive forklifts/ pickups/ prime mover

Dun laf.... it's really so. The steep learning curve is a challenge to me, but I am all for it. Just like someone told me, now not busy then when ? I just need to pace myself a little better...

Anyway, now that I have some time waiting for the Charity Shield to start, it dawned upon me that this is the best time to head back to my list for the year and check out the ticks... here goes:

1. Excel in my new project(s)

Yes. In progress. I think I am doing so definitely, given the amount of responsibilities I shoulder now.

2.Continue building up contacts

Yes. In progress, but in line with plans.

3. Making new friends while maintaining old ones.

Yes. In progress, doing good so far.

4. Continue learning at work

Yes. My mentors are great, if not best !

5. Travel a little more…
Bali for leisure, then Labuan for work, and potentially back to Labuan. so Yes.

6. Spend more time with my grandma
Plesantly surprised, but yes. I am spending more time with the folks at home, despite the busy schedules.

7. Spend more time at home
Yes. See 6.

8. Keep myself healthy and fit
Yes. I passed my IPPT, so should count right ? hahaha

9. Keep a lookout for potential gf
No, unfortunately. Still on the lookout, but have someone in mind... lol

10. Do a marathon

Yes. StandChart 42km run in December, here I come !

So, score is 9/10. Not too bad hahahaha.

As for the perfect score, it's probably gotta wait... heh (^_^)Y

So far so good... !

Help !! Who can donate liver to me ?

This is really bad, I actually upped my drinking to a new level.


This time round, 1/2 a bottle of martel doesnt kill me at all siah... oops... I think I really needa detox for awhile... it's one thing to constantly maintain the level, and it's a totally different thing to level up lah.... ^^

Either that or I need a new liver.... real soon.... lolz

The gang tried to make yours truely drunk, but failed for the most part. Mitch did get me though... she unknwingly added chilli into my drink while I took a leak... as usual... she and her mischeivious ways ... hohoho

BPian - the gang !

I had lotsa fun the night and thanks peeps ! I love you'all !!


=)

Part and Parcel of Learning....

I need to learn to :

1) Pace myself so that I wont be shacked out by 430 PM....
2) Not feel despondent when things didnt go my way
3) Cheer myself up whenever things goes wrong and I cannot control it when it's not my doing !
4) Appreciate my lao jiaos becos they are really a bunch of fabulous mentors !!!

^_^
