*Burp*... That concludes lunch on 1 October 2007.
Today's menu was: Rice with 'Tau gay', (yes..u mean you never heard of gay beans??..hahaha), steam egg and chicken.
The chicken chunk quantity was pathetic leh...macham like three 20cent coins!... i made noise to the vendor..she said this one premium one coz it's the chicken breast meat.. =S
Bah! Humbug! Anyway..I'm full lah...but it's the principle of the matter! LOL!
It's monday already and i feel as though the weekend really breezed by and i didnt get the rest i hoped for. Eventful but unrested! What a combination!
Friday night was combined CG with Pst Derek in JW chruch.. it was nice to be back there again. Truth be told, I found myself spacing out at some points during the sermon. But there were highlights that maybe i spent more time dwelling over, and thus tuned out the rest. Anyway the presence of God after that was strong...I think the entire zone could have jsut gone on for another hour just being there...=)
We spent a whole hour after the Word worshipping and receiving from Him. LOL!...In Shen's words at the Bak Kut Teh Supper: "It only felt like 15mins!"
We ended at 11pm. Supposed to go pick up the belated bday girl and bf for a Bak Kut Teh celebration! but we were inevitably delayed by..*ahem*..the 'woman-who was accounting for missing headsets'...so ended up we waited till about 12am! when the church lights turned off!
Cows!!..anyway..it was nice to be hanging around in church with friends who were waiting for other members..hahaa...although i think the tiredness got to us and we ended up doing childlike things like sabo-ing Ah Siang's car...haha...
Anyway, it was nice gathering with the friends from my 2nd cg..during the birth months of E198. It's been at least 7 years since we've known each other!
The whole entourage accompanied me back (hmm..maybe they have no choice since Shen was the driver! LOL! and the bulk of them lived West) to my aunt's place to pick up the car she was loaning me for the weekend...
it was 1 plus am!!! Good grief!...hahaha...
Ok ..i better get back to work..will try to continue tonight..hee...

Being Silly
Left: Monkey on treeRight: Pink Pig
Center: Overgrown Kid!
I stumbled upon some silly pictures I took at the annual bowling tournament we organise for the members. It was on 23 June. Whew, it's over! Another tiring event!
This year's one was a wee bit different. Just the week before, we decided to add in fun for the kids ( you can imagine my scramble). We had a balloon artist there to entertain the kids - both young and old. Honestly, there were more adults queueing for the balloons!! Hahaha...
Well, I was one of them! =)

Has it been over a month?!
Just finished reading Beanie's, annanananana's and Shen's blog while stuffing my face with today's lunch. Now chatting with ah yin on msn. Yes, i have few minutes more of my lunch hour left. So thought i'd drop a note.
Can't believe it's been over a month since i last blog, though it shouldn't be, since it felt like some time since i bothered to really read or post.
Guess I've been tied up. Work's been bad again...and things are ramping up in church. =) But I think I'm happy...just need the occassional motivational poke. I'll share more tonight on wah'ts been happening. Hoepfully i can blog tonight.
While walking back with my da-paoed lunch bag, i was singing a song to God. It started with the Hungry and Thirsty worship tune ( that has been in my head lately) ..then ended off with a brand new song..which i thought would be a sell-out coz the words are 'sweet'...hahaha...
But it was nice, and reminded me that he's so near...and i could feel him with me enjoying the song, even under the hot sun and the mundane 'every-other-day' same walking path between the makan place and the office. My heart was light, even though I was tired. =)
That's my heavenly father. =D

Half my day....argh....
Tiring out even so soon after my yesterday's break from work. I'm not here to complain. I thank God for my job and the fact we're busy means that my organisation is surviving and they have a reason to keep me employed! hahaha...
However, it's just mentally taxing and quite draining at times. Ok ok, i see many hands up that we're rowing the same boat. But...haiz...this is tiring man...
it's 3.30pm and i throw my hands up and come down to the cafe to have my lunch. (flexi hours). Can't take the endless things that go by. It can make you scream. Here's a synopsis of my day today. i will try to put it in sequential order and hope it doesn't confuse you.
1) fax film ink ran out. Need to change. -- realised the box in the drawer was an old one (means i was fooled the last round of taking stationery orders) Thus, had to call the supplier to arrange an urgent delivery.
2) because of fax problem - only got half a quotation for the corporate gifts. Thus need to call company for full quotation and prepare cheque.
3) Cheque needs 2 signatories and needs to be signed today. Thus, called person A at 10am to check when he could come by and person B if he would be in his office in the afternoon today. Person A not too sure what time he can come...and requested a 11am phone reminder to him. Person B ok in the office full day.
4) Check with boss if he can transport me to person B office during lunch to sign the cheque. OK.
5) E-mail from RSAF requesting information following the last job fair on the 12th ( which was not highlighted b4..and now abit late to ask right...) and the new information by the end of the week.
6) E-blast to members on the new job fair in May, and the new RSAF requirements, as usual with a please reply by _____ request, that i pray so so hard that people stick to.
7) Internet search and call up DHL to find out how much it would cost to ship stuff to the UK. Beacuse i'm working on the fact that i have no CLUE how heavy it is, exactly what address i'm sending to, it makes it quite a grope in the dark and lots of ballpark figures.
8) Call Person A at 11am to remind him to tell me what time he's coming. He said he will come. No time stated....haiz...
9) Prepare the cheque for the corporate gifts. Have to call back the supplier coz they never state the exact company to make the cheque payable to.
10) They inform me that they are pushing delivery time to be from 2 -3pm TODAY instead of tomorrow. -- great, means must rush the cheque signing.
11) Cleaning auntie wants to clean my room. -- evicted for 5-8 mins.
12) It's 11.40am-- calling person A again to remind. Had to ask he come before 2pm. So that i can pay for the corporate gifts when it is delivered between 2-3pm.
13) Check rates for courier on Singapore post. same as point 7.
14) It is 1230pm. Person A is coming. So i need to go downstairs and wait. Then immediately, my boss wants to leave to fetch me to the other company to get the 2nd signature. Drops me off near office when finished and i head back to office.
15) Boss calls and needs me to send out e-mail to the HR members for IA students. -- need to search and refer to several e-mails over different days to compile the info for the e-mail blast. Also, need to run through the list of HR people to make sure i include only the relevant parties.
16) Someone enquires about membership. Call back, sound nice, chat... and note follow up. --prepare follow up materials for post.
17) Find out details for FedEx, same as point 7.
18) Get a call from some jobst***t and they want us to join their fair. Abit hard, but am patient to explain my organisations unique situation. Not many believe we hardly hire. Sigh.
19) Receive the corporate gifts. Delivery man in chatty mood. Cham...ok ok...was nice again. He's just doing his job.
20) Start receiving queries regarding my point 15 action although i CLEARLY stated in the e-mail to contact someone else if they are interested or need further details!!! =( So once again, try to facilitate, be nice, redirect if i can't do any further.
21) Boss calls and needs the address and contacts of someone urgently for print. I need to go find the namecard and sms the details.
22) So here i am having lunch. Get a phone call and need to think up of a name for my article by tomorrow...=S
And.....i have so many other things pending on my list. Organising a farewell dinner( which NO ONE wants to decide who's going to pay..so how huh ..huh??!??!) , an entire Bowling tournament, go to the bank and change signatories, arrange a photo shoot (note: i need to get 12 guys together and they travel almost all the time), get documents and apply for funding for our next trade shows/ trips, minutes of the last MC, SSC and industry partnership meeting....
I'm dead man...ok...i need to go back to work. Lunch hour is over.
See ya!

AeroCareer Pavilion =)
Hello! Lunch time musings again! hee...
Two guys from some of my member companies clowning around my booth area, we're all friendly in the industry so we visit each other for entertainment and support.
My display area: Slept at 4am the day before just to do it all up. You can touch the parts displayed. The Engine you see in the picture is the Rolls Royce Trent 900 engine. Used in the A380. =)
Proof I was WORKING! hahaha...and not just taking photos ok...wait a minute...then who took this photo??!?!?!....*eerie music in the background*
General photo of pavilion area where the aerospace company booths were. That's the Nordam balloon. It was done up in 2 days. Amazing how efficinet singapore is when you need something done.
My turn to clown around. That's my boss's youngest kid on my right playing with the freebies given out. Extremely shy in front of others, another story altogether when her dad is around. LOL!
Well, just wanna share with you this project that just ended earlier this month. We had a joint industry branding and awareness for my industry, with some member companies, at the Annual career fair at Suntec city convention center. Idea is to inform the public about the industry and join, JOIN, JOIN!!! hahaha...So we had a Pavilion called the AeroCareer Pavilion, next to us was Maritime...who had alot of support and $$ for this! But no pictures on their side lah, must showcase mine!
A 4 day event, the preparation was horrible! Headaches abounded! But thank god, it all went through! So here are some pictures of the hard work we all pitched in! =)
My Backdrop banner: Designed by ME! =P ..I had 2 hours so not too bad bah. The far end is actually a cross section diagram of the A380 plane.

Lunch time reflections
*burp*... Once again, work until I lost track of time. So by the time i got to the cafe near my office to 'da bao' 'cai fan' there was not much left to choose. But heck i was hungry. Breakfast was a Milo and I'd been running ard the office quite a bit already.
Now is the time for the food to settle in and since i have time from my lunch hour, I'm going to rant. =)
It's already the end of January. Goodness...how time really flies. Last night I read through some goals for the year i scrawled in my notebook 3 weeks ago. I'm still kinda on track. At least for the ones that are applicable this month.
Keeping to my book reading requirements. In fact I've exceeded it. Forgot how much i like to read. Read 4 books since Christmas. My next one should be a strategy/ business book. I've already been skimming reviews/ bookshops for a good one. I need one that can keep me awake!
Anyway, now I'm reading 2 books. I started with Pst Phil Pringle's You the Leader. Its one of those you can't just read once through no matter how hard you try. There's just too much good stuff that makes you wanna stop to absorb or note down. Thus, on top of that, I've started on a story book, Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Rielly. Incredibly fun action. I fell asleep with the book on my face last night. =) I read his first book Temple and was hooked since. Hee...
Ok ok...the lunch hour is ticking away. Should try to catch a nap first. See ya again.
