escaping mundanity & normalcy..

[張惠妹 - 人質]

been soaking under the Sun for the past
few days.. actually only on both Thursday
and Friday.. which accompanied by some
shower occasionally.. end effect.. sunburnt
and slight peeling of skins..

my once a week swim on Thursday.. was
interupted by the rain every now and
then.. despite little from the Sun.. still feel
a slight sunburnt after 3 hours.. was quite
please with the improvement in number
of laps I swam.. been increasing in every
visits.. need to keep improving..

team building on Friday @ Camp David..
it's situated at Ngee Ann Poly.. played
games.. climbed vertical elements.. and
stayed a little while more to play a few
round of soccer..

met up with Willy for dinner at Holland
Village.. Chee Wee joined us after a while..
went Coffee Club after the dinner.. drink
and chatted for a long while.. it's being
quite some time I had such chats.. really
enjoy such moments.. especially with
people who you can chat comfortably..

Willy was saying about writing something
different for my entries.. as in thoughts..
perhaps.. maybe.. I could tried it here one
of these days.. being a man of a few words..
this task seems like a mountain to climb..

watched King Arthur on Star Movie the
other day.. but didn't manage to stay and
complete the whole show.. I must say.. it's
a good movie to watch.. time to search for
some friendly version to complete it.. =p

February is coming to an end.. coming
March.. hopefully work schedule starts to
turn busy.. just give me sufficient but not
too much of off days.. enough time to meet
up with friends.. enough to replenish back
the energy lost.. enough time to update
this space.. sounds like a work maniac.. but
practically I'm not..

TaKe CaRE!!

[李圣杰 - 听,我爱你]

got a late called from my colleague to
cover for another at work last Saturday..
because one of them is on MC.. sounds
pretty normal of me right? haha.. always
report back to work on weekends.. and
always in lack of sleep condition.. =p

was out with my friends for singing till
pretty late.. thinking that, having the
whole of next day free.. don't need to
worry about not getting sufficient sleep..
not till this fateful call.. that wakes my
greed to earn more.. hehe..

well.. felt pretty bad.. for missing out the
trip to Si Huan for seafood.. missed the
chance to savour good food again.. haiz..
what to do.. work come first at this time..

it's my off days again.. but there'll be a
team building program on coming Friday..
some sort of full day program at Camp
David.. opposite Ngee Ann Poly.. I don't
feel good hearing the word "Camp".. guess
I'm not the only one.. I knew some of the
guys are already complaining.. thinking of
ways to escape this thing.. hahaha..

spent the whole day switching between
this laptop and the TV.. don't really feel
like going out.. a good way to curb myself
from spending without any control.. =p

my sister's birthday is coming soon.. she
is holding a chalet this time round.. well..
her 21st mah.. I had 1 on mine too.. still
thinking of what to get for her.. but got
something in mind.. not going to write it
here.. in case she "dropped by" again..

suddenly.. it seems to me.. I got to write
down every single thing that I wanted to
buy.. and prioritize them accordingly..
else.. I might end up with an account that
is empty again..

yesterday was a busy day for me.. my
shift leader went back home to rest after
getting 2 days MC from the clinic.. all of
a sudden.. my supervisor begin to look
for me.. attend meeting.. find out about
plans and schedules.. following up on a
couple of agendas.. felt the pressure on
my back.. afraid to make any mistakes..
not that I'm scare of getting scold.. who
likes to be scolded anyway?? I'm scared
of jeopardizing my performance.. future
of me working in this company.. largely
depends on my performance during this
2 years.. I'm the type that can work for
long hours.. to complete assigned tasks..
but I know I'm someone who does not
show leadership.. something that should
consider an important criteria.. as one
climb higher up on the corperate ladder..

perhaps it's really true.. when a person
grows older.. he/she starts to become
more careful about losing.. especially if
the item become so important to them..
a.k.a wealth or personal status.. the more
they try to cling onto it.. by all means..
it's human nature I guess..

a question that I hate to ask myself..
What should I do tomorrow???

TaKe CaRE!!

[ 王力宏 - Kiss Goodbye]

started my four days of off today.. pretty slack
the whole day.. just my laptop and TV.. wasn't
really sure what to do.. hopefully won't be going
through the same things tomorrow..

well.. it's Valentine's Day yesterday.. how did
you spend it?

me?? well.. went to work as usual.. was rather
surprise when a group of operators passed me
a box of cut fruits during lunch.. in appreciation
for me helping them out after work to finish up
the work.. because they don't stay here.. and
have to rush for their catered transport home..
I can't possibly leave them in lurch.. it's not a
tedious work to give them a helping hand.. was
really touched by their gestures though.. having
them to appreciate what I've done..

right now.. is quite looking forward for March..
where work schedule will become a little bit
more busy.. and the annual IT Show at Suntec..
need to get a wireless router to link up the PC
and laptops.. kind of like handicapped now..

there'll be team building next Friday.. but still
yet to hear of any plan from the management..
beside this.. got to know the Dinner and Dance
will be held in March.. details not out yet.. but
likely to be lunch or hi-tea.. because most of
them will face transportation problem..

there's something I don't like about D&D.. that
is.. I don't like to dress up.. I prefer to dress
down.. casual.. and nothing too formal.. feel so
restricted in shirt and pants.. hopefully they
don't forcely implement the dress code for that
day.. if not.. it's going to be a headache for me..

the 15 days of Chinese New Year had also end..
how is the collection this year? better or worse?

mid February.. about 3 more months till our
planned oversea trip.. no concluded plan till this
moment.. really looking forward to unwind after
all the work.. need to refresh before going on for
another charging at work..

the feeling of spending time alone.. I thought
I've already gotten used to..

TaKe CaRE!!

rewards don't harvest right after you plant the seed..
it takes certain amount of care to nurture.. time to harvest..
and not every seeds will eventually turn out good..
Thus, don't set your expectation too high on seeds that
you'll planted.. let it blossomed at it's own will.. where you
are least expected..

pure happiness..

[李圣杰/林隆璇 - 你那么爱她]

back trying to figure out what went
wrong with my blogspot.. somehow
got things back on track.. but kind of
lost of words now..

the ToTo HongBao Draw is rolling
this Friday.. have you bought any?

had talked about wanting to enrol
into some short courses to enrich
myself.. but somehow.. I see myself
procrastinating.. and have no specific
direction to follow.. which I believe if
there's no action taken.. most likely,
this thoughts will end up just being a
thought added to my history column..

I saw myself falling into the comfort
zone in my work.. due to my work
schedules.. I have a lot of free time..
which I usually volunteer to go back
and work whenever they need extra
manpower during my offs.. the OT
pay soars till sky high!! for couple of
months.. forming a drive that keeps
me going.. and pushing for limits..

what goes up.. will eventually come
down..

practically true.. upon seeing my pay
climbed to some amount that I never
imagine I could achieve at this time of
my life.. I'm hit right back to basic for
the next couple of months.. beginning
to worry now.. because it seems to be
somewhat below my comfort level..

perhaps I should not have worry so
much.. after all.. I use to get much
lesser.. barely surviving though..

thoughts had been running up to my
mind lately.. regarding my personal
stuffs mainly.. and some others.. but
would not be made as a note here.. for
I have already stated as personal liao
loh.. hahaha.. =p

another posting of my bare thoughts..
mainly meaningless.. yet something to
look back on.. as and when..

TaKe CaRe!!

falling is the start.. getting up is the process..
results? is the place you are heading.. it's a
long journey ahead.. to make you stronger..
not to withstand the fall.. but to pick yourself
up faster to move on..

[JS - 我比想像中爱你]

halfway through the festive period
for Chinese New Year.. somehow I've
not being lucky.. especially during
"gaming".. lost at least a hundred
over the past week.. but.. all for
the nature of fun.. once in a while..
just let it be ba.. =)

reporting back to work on 1st Feb
like many others.. due to low volume
in production orders.. our work days
are offsetted.. which means both my
Saturdays and Sundays will be free
mostly for this month.. likely to be
able to join the rest for seafood at
Si Huan (M'sia) next week.. =)

less work meaning lesser income for
the coming months.. the feeling of
dropping back to basic.. is really
wretching at times.. got to manage
more wisely..

there's a sudden urge for me to get
myself enrolled into some short study
courses lately.. the urge to upgrade..
and the need to stop my brain from
getting rot..

met Morgan, Willy and Chee Wee for
movie at Tiong Bahru Plaza on Friday..
watching Jet Li's Huo Yuan Jia.. but
almost couldn't make it in time due to
some delay at work.. luckily manage to
finish in time.. but was not able to
make it for dinner with another friend..

wondering what went wrong here at the
moment.. I don't seems to be able to
edit the fonts for this entry.. all the
toolbars just didn't appears.. not mood
to update further.. sian..

TaKe CaRE!!
