Week 1

Happy new year to everyone!

So this is week 1, it is kinda of a lousy week for me.. was feeling tired and sick the whole week. Maybe it is due to the booze I have on new year eve. I normally stayed home on new year eve but I decided to hang out a little this time round. I started with joining my colleagues for a drinking session at some Filipino pub at Roxy. I went there with a friend from my RT session, yes.. RT.. the one where those people who failed their IPPT go to.. as my colleague told me he will be late, we found the pub that he mentioned and ordered a jug of beer. I was wondering why the filipino gers approach to talk to the other tables except ours. When my colleague Michael came along, I asked him and his respond was.. " they think that you may be a undercover police cos you dressed like one" hahahah... MY RT friend and I left the place after another round of drinks and proceed to some discotech or whatever you called that at Outram Park.. nothing sleazy about the place, plenty of young crowd and also uncles.. with a mix of Thai and Viet chicks around.. mine am I bored but all the loud music.. some thai/viet gers try to chat up but emm, my stern face and closed ended response probably send them the signal that I dun wanna be disturbed. My RT friend and another friend of his was having a great time dancing with the ger... I just sat down and enjoyed the drink.. as usual.. drinks are expensive on new year eve.. but what the heck.. it is new year eve.. nothing fascinating about the countdown, just that I got attacked by foam spray.. finally decided to call it a day at 1 am.. managed to get a cab or rather jump queue to get a cab.. but come on.. someone was alighting in the middle of the road.. I look around me and saw no one approaching the cab so I signalled to the driver and he beckoned me to get up.. eh... you have to take you chance when you have it...

The rest of the week passed by quickly for me.. went for a meeting on Thursday and was told of the corporate requirements and plans for my plant this year... nothing that I did not expect or cannot managed but just too many ways to approach it that I dunno when or how to start.. should I be a bastard and pushed people around to finish the stuff or should I be Mr Nice-guy and talk to them and "hope" they do their part.. it may be still early in the year but mind those of you who think the same way as me.. The first 3 months of the year is always the fastest.. so better to start early then be caught in the loop later on..

I have been going out for lunch the whole week as the food by the new vendor sucks and it is expensive, imagine some pieces of kang kong and a teeny weeny fish with rice will sent you back at $2.50.. I rather walk out and have my wan tan mee.. I hope the menu improve soon or I gonna have to re-evaluated my weekly meal allowance..

I had "planned" to do some exercise and try to lose some weight this year but have not done anything so far, so when someone approached me to play soccer on friday.. I take the chance to do some exercise but emm, not that I am giving excuses but it rains again when I wanna do some exercise.. so I thought cancelled liao but the guys wanna carry on as the rain is not so strong.. ended up playing on a muddy field and getting my shoes soaked and my whole body drenched... emm, also woke up the next morning with a slight fever and flu which I have not recovered as of now...

Was browsing through Zhu school website on friday and saw some updates on the school blog.. wow.. Zhu was given some award for best teacher for dance category for the competition she was telling me about.. congrats to her.. wanna to message her but emmm... just decided against it for personal reasons.. maybe I will call her tonight..

William was planning to go for a Bangkok trip end Jan or early next month and was trying to meet up with me but emm.. our schedule dun meet.. was suppose to discuss on MSN but he was not online for the past 3 days.. have asked Mr J if he interested to join us but he cannot confirmed becos of his film production schedule.. emm, maybe I should not have asked him since he always screwed up happy holidays for most of us with the lousy, negative and grumpy behavior.. we shall see how it goes...

On finance wise.. I am managing quite well.. except for the new year eve booze.. my spending is close to what I have given myself for the week.. next week gonna be a busy week... buying dinner for a colleague tomorrow evening as he is leaving end of the week.. also need to work more OT next week as this week was too sick and tired to work.. ya, lastly.. this is to Miss Jen.. bon voyage and enjoyed your well deserved break in Bali.. I hope everyone have a great week ahead.. byz..
