Happy New Year to Everyone!!!!

Ta Qiu

So so so so long since I touched a basketball!!! The guys and girl from the cubicle next door organised a basketball 3 on 3 and got 2 of us to join in. Man, can really feel that age is catching up. First, I get scolded for using a plastic bag to put my clothes, say I am like ah pek. Second, after the 1st match, I totally went out.. was sooo tired! The 100 plus really saved me. If not, we would not have had 4? matches? in about like 2+ almost 3 hrs? We started about 6+? and ended like at 9, so that's a record for someone who never touch the basketball for years. I sucked so bad, it was a miracle they let me play though.. haha. :) nice nice..

Holidays at the Office

Used to love the holiday season when I was at my ex company. It was like the only time we would go to work, and there would be not much people around, and we could finish up our stuff and have enough time for a break. Now, it's feels draggy and boring staying in the office during the festive season. Well, the gifts are nice, and there is good company, but somehow or rather, it just feels long. I guess when u spend too much time with company, and all of a sudden, people are not there, it just gets really quiet and slow. Maybe when things get hectic again, I'd be complaining that things are too fast and there is no room to breath. There's really no pleasing some people huh. Hee.

New coffee maker...

The pastor, the round table, and the holy circle...

In the medieval times, there was turmoil, and no targets were met. The king came down with a decree and requested his royal aides to select warriors to form a round table. There they were, many many fierce monster hunters and monsters alike, chosen to represent their factions in the round table. Their task...to form a holy circle that would make miracles happen. But on the table itself, was a chieftain who fought pirates, an undersea war priestess who battled serpents, and another unknown beast mauler. But to make things work, they needed some magic. Magic from a witch doctor and... a pastor. Well, the witch doctor story will be covered another day. The pastor, however, was oblivious of any holy circle that was supposed to be formed. Months had passed, and the general finally met the pastor, and asked the pastor about the circle but not tell the pastor anything other than that the circle was to be formed. The pastor, not knowing that he had somehow been enlisted in such a circle, was out of words. So in order to circumvent what was to come, the pastor just decided to let things roll, until the chieftain or the general decide that the circle of magic required holy intervention. Well, since its holy intervention, it's a tall order, and nothing short of a miracle. And who better to force to do miracles, than a thin, ragged, tired old pastor with nothing but his stick and some arcane arts.

Hahahahaha.. everyone sure blur after reading this.. wahahhahaa..

Point to ponder..

Life is like a big joke. It's like one second you're needed... the next, you're the fool. It's like you think you are there.. and realise you are not even close. It's as though you mean something, and then realise that you are actually nothing. No it's not a big joke... should be a bad joke... or a lame joke I guess.

Merry Christmas!!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.  

Fireflies and Sunsets..

Was trying to catch a picture of a dragonfly that flew in to the pool area. It kept buzzing around non stop and circling the same area, but it took like ages for the camera to snap, so after like 20 misses, I got a picture of it. Then, I noticed it was not one...but 3 dragonflies taking turns to come out one by one! Cos all 3 appeared, and there was this dogfight between two dragonflies, and the loser flew out. Then the remaining two started attacking each other, but suddenly merged in mid-air! Then they continued to fly in that pattern for 2 minutes, then dogfight again, and then flew away. Don't ask, but I managed to snap the merged photo as well.

Oh well, the sunset was nice though...

Yawn...

Building Teams on Friday..

Went to the big bosses house, which was linked to some reservoir. Part of the activity was to walk 20 minutes to a certain area for some games.

Well, perhaps the most memorable part of the day was when they played true or false, and asked "a dog has 3 eyelids... true or false" and all the competitive souls ran to the false area, while those that were too lazy...I mean intelligent.. to move from the 'true' area actually got it right!

They had an awfully chocolate cake... and some bacardi breezers on ice.

Not too bad for a working day. :)

Of Hope and Fate

Life is a truly morbid joker. Where it felt like there was nothing else to hope for, and nothing to be glad about, it flickers glimmers of hope at me.

I was really distraught about the things at work, the way I was never appreciated for the things I do, the way everyone else got all the accolades, good grades, recognition, when I always tried really hard and gave it everything I could, even when I couldn't. At one stage, it really felt like no one really bothered even if I was to disappear from the face of the earth the next day.

I got an email today, having the words "You have done well". For an insignificant like me, it really meant something, however it was intended or whether everyone else had the same or even if it was meant a different way, it just wasn't important. To me, seeing that just made me think that somewhere down the line, someone noticed and appreciated the effort.

Today, in our branch meeting, it just felt like everyone was supportive. Albeit my corny humour and candid remarks, just to have everyone's recognition made me feel that being there for others and helping each other out was really worth something.

Someone told me, that people knew that I helped them, and everyone appreciates what I have been doing for them. That really did put a smile on my face.

Well yes, I am easily contented. Everyone seems to ask me how I can laugh and be happy everyday. I guess when you suffer enough in life, get betrayed a lot, be lied to enough and be hurt by the people you believed and trusted in enough, you'd look at life in a different light. :)

Snapshot of next blog post...
