Nancy's Last Day

:D Promised Joy that I would write a post for her, because in her own words: "I want to be mentioned and remembered by the millions who read it!" :D:D:D Since I am not getting her any Christmas present, so here you go. Millions may not read this, but for all who came, hope you have a great fun remembering what I am about to write.

When: Friday, December 22, 2006. Just around 10 pm +
Where: Ministry of Sound, Singapore
Attendance: Nancy, Joy, Felix, Tze Ming (dude, I hope I spell your name correctly), me (stunned look everyone), Yee May, Wei Lin, Gazzali, Astley, James, Mike Xu, Chris and the Mrs.

For Nancy's last day, I was thinking of a more conservative way of celebrating, a dinner and all. But of course that crazy girl or someone else who anointed himself as chief of midnight entertainment ;) suggested clubbing. We did have the dinner by the way, at vivocity. Anyways, there were people who said they were going and there were people who said they were not going, and we ended up with the group of people that we had.

It was first time experience for some :$ and it was like getting 10 years younger for others :D Drink were served and when we started hitting the dance floor, oh my God is what I can say. We know that Astley is a bit nutty, but to see people like James and Joy being so on, huahahahaha :D:D:D Who knows that James has that crazy side? Maybe this is his suppressed side coming out after the many nights in the office doing OT :D Joy also awed us for being so "on". Though some of us not as professional as Gazzali and Tze Ming for example, but all and all I guess everyone quite enjoyed the night. You really see a different side of people, and get to know what other things they are capable of doing ;) It is truly interesting. I heard because everyone had so much fun, another outing is being planned. I think it would be great and interesting if more people from ANL come and join us. We really do have a crazy, fun, and happening bunch of people here.

I know that Nancy had a great night. I think it's a good way to spend her last day, laughing and dancing, rather than tearing up which she actually did :D Okay, I gotta go, maybe the rest of you want to write your recollection of the night? Before I go, let me leave you with a little poem from Shel Silverstein who wrote The Giving Tree. Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Holidays!


ALICE

She drank from a bottle called DRINK ME
And up she grew so tall,
She ate from a plate called TASTE ME
And down she shrank so small
And so she changed,
While other folks never tried nothin' at all

from Where the Sidewalk Ends - Shel Silverstein

Re: Coffee and Cigarettes

Rain... Keep on falling down lately.

Remind me i had been gone throught those cold and wet season...
From the bottom of my heart.. even throught out the period of time.

I am not a regular smoker... but i do smoke lately.
Maybe the raining session? or maybe something elsa?

I am not a regular coffee drinker... but i had a cup of white coffee everyday.
Why? I have no idea...

I ask myself why now a day i get addicted with coffee and cigarette lately?
I not use to it for last time, not even single sip or a puff.

But lately... just try to release myself for a moment.

For cigarette, maybe just this period of time...
After all i can stop for never smoking again.. this one for sure i know myself.

For coffee, i don't know...
I never try this one before...

I remember i watch an award winner movie before "Coffee and Cigarettes"...
Directed by Jim Jarmusch, 2003.


Whole movie shoot in black and white,
Yet, only seeing people sitting down in the coffee shop,
having a conversation with each other, a cup of coffee and holding a cigarette in another hand.

Just a daily life what is happening around in the corner. that's all.

This movie is so artistic...

Don't expect have a big action pack or superb story hidden in the script.
Just have an idea what is going on between person to person on the coffee table throught out the conversation and talking.

This movie, it might be very boring to some body...
But for me... those session might be happen to you someday.
you might even never realize it just happen to you.
It just a normal daily life in and out in your day.

Over the time when i write this blog,
I almost finish a cup of rich and creamy white coffee...

Outside...Rain still keep on falling down

Unexpected.

I never expected to see this.

Wait till I get my hands on the Uncle who use the power jet water to splash the dirt from the ground onto my bike!

He can still complie the dirt just below my wheels and off he goes for Lunch.

Took a shot of it as proof just in case he goes off..
I'm going to show it to the School's office man.



Haiyo. Uncle! Are you BLIND or just plain STUPID!!!

Re: In and Out

After see Eka talking about defination about surprise..
Ya.. Feel "Surprise" yet "Sad" to heard about someone will leaving ANL soon...

This person...
Knowing this person not really preceding in long time, but really can sense having a good friendship between me and himself.

Working with this person for few project before , from small little training, up to high profit margin profile, really enjoy myself to work with him.

This person..

Spending quite number of "extra" over time and work with him until late night in the office...
Having a good time for the late dinner in the meeting room (mostly our favorites Canadian Pizza!)...
And travelling from one school to another school witht he "busy" appointment...
Always can feel this person put more effort and synergy over on his duty.

Friendly speaking... I am really enjoy to hang around with this person !

This person...
Always make me sense about...

Never feel tired to work so hard with the busy schedule!
Always putting the smilling face during working hour !
Always believe and put more effort in to work even know the reward is not so many!

He really dedicated and to devote earnestly for his work ! :-)

Since knowing him having a better offer for another work.
Over here... Wishing him all the best and good luck for his feature.

Last..
Really nice to be friends with you ! :-)

As the title and tagline say

Was invited to contribute to this blog. Wondering if I should accept the invitation. Then I think, why not? Careful, Eka tends to write a lot :P

So Life@ANL, what's happening over here? I guess the headlines these days or perhaps only yesterday (the shock has gone) was people leaving. Not surprising for ANL. People come and go so fast, but it doesn't stop you from feeling sad, right? *sigH* I know the people who are leaving, are a bit sad about leaving too because apparently ANL is full of nice people. That is very true. I've been here longer than all the current contributors of this blog and I do must say that we have a group of crazy, fun, and nice people. As much as this year has been more torturing for me, I do must say that the fun and nice thing all of you have done for me do make me laugh and I'm very thankful for your presence. I guess, we should enjoy each other fully while stock last, haha :D Take care peeps!

A Satisfaction in life...

Working has never been easy... But its always a satifaction...

From a comment a student gives u after u train him/her to the simple thanks someone gives you after ou do smoething...

Its very simple... Just look at work as a challenge, as something to make you learn more, to make you grow and enjoy it... Complaints dont bring u far... Negative thoughts bring u down so why think so much???

Just do your best at everything and end the day smiling knowing you have done your best and love the results...

Surprise! the Nagger's here in town! (not nigger mind you.)

it's very lay chey leh.. Got blogger account but cannot sign into blogger account, like force you to go sign up for a Google account.

So 'Ma Fan'.

How's everyone?

Uncle Astley still lost in Citylink?

Anyway, just to spice things up, let me nag a bit on my missing new specs.
Was on leave the past few days to KL for a 4 days 3 nights trip.
Day 2 i went to Sunway Lagoon. (Yar, i haven't been to this Children's Playground before.) I made this new specs like less then a month ago, to replace my broken one. AND i cannot see without them (ok.. not really cannot see, but blurred vision is uncomfortable), refusing to ditch them in the locker, i wore them along. Each water rides will have all these side boxes which theb life gurad will insist to keep your specs in, so i did just so. So all i enjoyed all the water rides. UNTIL, i took our rented float to drift and relax on the 'man-made' sea section, dozing off and splash, the float overturned me in the water, my specs GONE.

Just like that. Split seconds and it's gone.
I thought the water was still relatively clear and borrowed a pair of goggles to start my search 'mission'. Even the life guard was pulled in to join my 'mission'.
To my surprise, the water is damn chalky! After like 20 mins of search, back and fore, we closed the case. 'mission' failed. Don't know where the hell it 'drowned'.
Spoilt the day man.

And i had to go back to KL City to get a new pair of specs done for 180RM (SGD$90). Relatively cheaper then singapore for next-day express service but my heart bleeds for wasting this kind of money!

Ok ok.. enough nagging about my specs. Now I back to do lotsa Planning for 2007 and some projects. (plus, lotsa part time work to Chiong! spent $$ now need to work for $$)

On the side track, meet the 'Lantern Family' in KL.














Cheerios~! (=^x^=)(")

Life

Man this place starting to become so poetry stuff...

Well, life for me... Hmmm... Work hard now... Strive and go far then relax when old...

Chill Out...

purpose of life

no meaning in Life...
no satisfaction...
always searching and doing more..
still no satisfaction...
feel the emptiness of the soul...
the hunger for more...
what is meaning of Life...
to serve our purpose...
what is our purpose...
to serve with our GOD given talents and gifts...
how to serve...
serve with our Hearts.

Re: Saturday Afternoon

Saturday afternoon…
Underground passage way...

Pointing all direction to the city,
Passenger rushing their foot step from one destination to another…
No one pay any more attention for each other.
Just leave the empty soul vanish along the way.

I lost myself motionless in the city.
