sudden reflections and change in decisions.. as i leave 2006 behind for a better 2007..

Friday, December 29th, 2006

hey u all.

how wuz ya christmas celebrations? well.. this week was a bad week at work. actually recently at work, alot of silly rules and regulations was imposed which made my life v difficult.. for example.. no usage of fone during work hrs.. no smsing or calling, no  surfing of net during work and no eating in anyplace except the canteen at all times.

so constrained!!.. i dislike the environment here as it is but this is taking the cake. this is worse than army.. sighh.. so if i use my fone during work, it will affect productivity rite?.. so i cant use fone during work, wad happens if an emergency crops up at home.. it’s so dumb.. rules are made by people, so people has the right to change it if it is unreasonable.

to make matters worse, my boss dun make things better. got scolded twice by him in this week. once when i checked my fone.. checked for coast clear and checked.. next, my boss scold me for playing ard in office and the CEO was watching.. i thot i checked?.. turned ard to see the CEO looking.. and like the way it started, it ended, my boss n the CEO turned away n moved away.. like some dammn conspiracy like tt.. 2nd time is gonna knock off time.. checked n sms back at like 5.28pm.. my boss saw and scolded me for reducing productivity time.. -_-”’.. i’m like gonna go home lor.. really crappy..

o yea.. my dnd.. had it last tues.. at shang-ri-la hotel. not too bad.. food wuz little but the emcee wuz not bad.. not much, did not win anything during lucky draw. pretty much expected.

aniwae.. had it to here in office.. juz gotta sit it out n see if it’s worth my effort. minimum of 1 yr in here.. well.. other than tt.. everything is so so.. met up w su during the week and ally later..

as the year passes by so fast, feel disappointed in the year tt is gonna pass and praying n hoping for a better year ahead. nothing much had changed in the way i want it to b.. work not so proficient and good as expected and the rest is juz self-explainatory. sighh.. concentrate and push on.. ganbatte!!..

*jus tired out*

it’s beginining to look alot like christmas?..

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!..

yep.. juz woke up from a long nite out w the guys in church.. but yet it is beginining to look alot like christmas this year? i wonder as i sit alone at home now blogging away.. -_-”’

this week been quite a hectic week at work. but met up w a few ppl to make it more evenful. watched eragon on monday w a few old frens and a funky priest.. lol.. met up w my best bud’s and good female fren for some kopi and catching up.. and of cos some good fashioned LAN during the week..

so yep tried to get in the mood by being touristy and take some nite lite fotos but it prob only kicked in at home on christmas eve.. had some dinner w my family and a simple but nice dinner at that and went to church for christmas mass..

in e end christmas is a season for get together w ya family and frens.. no need for big crowded parties or mass head banging. rather like days of the old where ppl sit around the fireplace in front ot christmas tree sharing good times w one another. that is the true meaning of christmas.. in my opinion that is.. n of cos enjoying each other’s company.

felt bit cheesed tht my relatives failed to plan anything on such an evenful day which dampened my mood a bit today but still will try to make the best of it..

back to work tml?.. n a dnd coming up.. n as we leave 2006 behind soon.. a wish on christmas day.. a season of sharing n love.. that 2007 brings a better year ahead.. =)

back from retreat.. the past, present n distant future.

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

hey u guys.. back from my annual server’s retreat. haf not been attending it due to commitments w army last 2-3 yrs but now marks my 15th year in my church organisation.

things was real swell in the camp.. went to ubin 2 times to experience the sun, sand and loads of madness.. away from the work, women and juz feel the energy of 30+ kids wuz well worth the leave taken even though i’m even more shacked out b4 i took my leave at work.

suddenly my indecisiveness juz went away in this camp and decided to move on in my life. the server’s will always b an essential part of my life as it made me the person i am. if without all the effort and energy for this, i would b even less the person i am.

things may change and life may still go on. but then, the memories will still stay w me.. as i turn to the future, prayer is always impt 2 all of us despite wad religion u are or wad goal u seek. joining the old bunch circle does not mean i leave.. rather still in the circle of brothers but not in the middle making things go around.

still would think abt how the rest of my life will turn out but den again, not tt i can control it as wad i want it to b. but without even trying, i will not even know.

aniwae.. some pics to make it all worth while.

P1000592_6 the attendance at e end of the camp.. abt 40++ ppl..

P1000551_1 the "feeling" at commitment ceremony on the last nite.. lovely and totally surreal..

P1000044_11 the planning commitee exco 2006.. totally honoured working w such talented individuals..

*jus shacked out*

hey u all.. im not feeling tt good.. coughing and sneezing n all.. sighh.. but den this weekend aint such a bummer. though i muz proclaim loudly tt sitex 2006 sucks big time.

yea.. so aniwae.. my fri wuz definately good. attended my in house QCC convention where i had to present w 2 circles. the result after 2++ mths of work wuz pretty gratifying. 2 gold awards, 1 best overall circle n 1 best newcomer. all for 2 circles.. it’s nice when ya accomplishments finally pay off. after which i met up w my neighbour also one of my close female frens su.. and her classmate. not too bad though i muz admit pastamania pizza at funan sux big time.

sat wuz spent doing admin work w my server’s commitee for our annual retreat. n in e evening met up w darryl n shaatish to vivo city to watch the show flag of our father’s. so so show only.. nothing too special..

aniwae it wuz only sun tt i really felt down under the weather.. wuz sneezing like non stop e whole day.. and my nose wuz so red.. arghh.. + the constant tiredness n the red eye feeling.. after a hot afternoon in practice for christmas mass, went w darryl n scott to go sitex 2006 like the second time. n i hereby conclude the fair totally sux.. it’s like even on the last day the price n freebies still fixed n still suck.

in e end, i go back empty handed as the camera’s there really are nothing much to look at. will still recce ard for a good camera n a good deal at tt..

my upcoming week seems really packed.. gonna b super bz w the prep for retreat n all. but looking forward to pack up n juz go n do wad im supposed to do.. n leave my work n the rest of my worries behind.
