Love It, Hate It?

I can't claim to be a music critic or be well-versed in any genre or forms of music..
But I seem to like this particular performance alot...

Pompeii

One of those songs in which you can imagne great and grand settings in some greek or roman empire building...

Last of the Mohicans

I’ve always liked this song. I don’t know what genre you call this. Celtic music? Hmm…yeah I think it is. I have a CD on Celtic music…think it’s time I dig it out from the cupboard. :)

What you would you....

If you had zero commitments and liabilities right now,
And were given the chance to drop everything,
And do something you want,
What would you do?

If you weren’t that afraid of the unknown,
And that comfortable with your current situation,
And that stubborn to stick to what you’re doing now,
What would you try?

If you had a lot more courage,
And a little bit more sense of adventure,
And perhaps a dash of impulse,
What would you endeavour?

What would you attempt?
What would you take a crack at?
What would you give a shot at?

*Breathe*

Had two dreams. One last night and one this morning on the train to work.
Both were the same dream.

I was in an underground cave which was almost full with water. I had to swim fully submerged underwater to get out. Paddled with the right hand and The left hand was held above my head feeling the roof of the cave for any potential cavities for pockets of air I could catch a few breaths from. I felt rather suffocated. My lungs were bursting.

And then I woke.

It was exactly the same for both dreams.

I'm not alone

I've never seen anyone else with triangular-shaped nostrils.

Till yesterday on the MRT, when I saw an auntie from China.

Voila. I'm not the only one with strangely-shaped nostrils.

*yum*

I have a perpetual love affair....

With chicken wings....

Grilled preferably.
Without batter.

Fresh Blood

A new colleague just came in.
Oh well, he's not entirely new. He was with my company previously but left about 3 years ago, had a stint outside but was still in the same industry and now he's back again.

New colleague, new dynamics again.

He's a smart smart guy..Hope he injects new directions to the way the compan is run.
And hope I can learn more things from him.

bleah

Clumsiness brings you...

A 1.5inch scratch on the side of your knee.

Sigh

What else do you do to help a staff learn?
What more can you do to change the attitude of a staff?

Me: *explains what she needs to do to amend a document*
Me: You get it or not?
Her: *nods*
Her: Ok, heh. I ask mei mei (a temp staff) to help me.
Me: Why everytime ask her to do YOUR things? You need to try then you can learn mah. Then next time when she’s not around already then how? Who’s going to help you do?
Her: Heh. Orh thanks. *walks off*

There's Something Strange In the Neighbourhood

- pimple outbreak
- tiredness
- aching back
- aching feet
- bloatedness

something’s coming…

more GRUMbles

In a foul mood.

Is this Murphy's Law? When you're on leave, your boss finds you through calls and SMS-es. But when you're in office, there's nary a sound from him???

WTH?

Street Drummer

Just using normal pails and stuff...
Quite cool..Makes me wish I had some sort of musical talent in me...
But I think I've nary a shred ahahhaa...enjoy the vid!

:(

I'm upset.
I won't get the chance to go on a safari tour afterall.

And so much so for having taken 3 vaccination jabs and 1 oral vaccine. And endured 2 days of having a sore upper left arm.

I'm not going to Nairobi afterall. :(

Some friggin islamist insurgency millitant group originating from Somalia issued a video statement threatening to bomb the US Embassy and our meeting venue. But didn't say when. Still for safety and security reasons, alot of people are pulling out of the meeting.......alot of those foreigners I'm familiar with are not going too....The US, Australia and UK State Travel Departments have issued travel advisories against travel to Nairobi.

Upsetting...sigh.
It's been a dream since young to visit the safari....:(

Oh well.
I'm putting more hope on the conference in Brussels coming up in June.
*crosses fingers*

Je n'aime pas les boutons!

Which translates t "I hate pimples!"

Having a bad breakout…probably because of…

- that time of the month drawing near
- all the junk food consumed during CNY gatherings and festivities
- that hair cream which I was instructed to use after perming
- general skin sensitivity

early morning grumbles

There are times when I should just mind my own business. I can’t help but voice things out when there’s something dumb and inefficient I see going on.

But whatever lah. This small voice of a small manager is easily dismissed by a Senior Manager. So I’ll just curse at her silently and wish that she f*cks off.

Dans La Cuisine

When I have kids of my own, regardless of whether they are sons or daughters, I’ll make sure they at least have some level of competency in the kitchen.

I think it’s essential. And yes, I do thank my mum for making me to learn and help out in the kitchen when I was younger.

Mothers...

My mum still talks to me like I'm a child at times or like as if I don't know anything...
Nag here nag there...sigh...

Are all mothers like this?

Requiem for a Dream - Clint Mansell

I like this song...Power.

Earful

Everybody needs a listening ear from time to time.

Maybe we spend a considerable time during our youth being listening ears to others, especially the older folks. When we get older, we ourselves want more air-time. We pounce on unsuspecting younger people…and so the cycle continues.

Everybody needs a listening ear from time to time.

Some people listen better than others. Some talk better than others. And others just see better than others. So what are you? Or which are you? I think I’m the former. Some people talk, without listening to themselves. Some people talk, without listening to others and it ends up as a one-man tirade.

Everybody needs a listening ear from time to time.

Be it for grouses, happy things, sad stuff, general chat or nonsensical things...
