Clouds..
Just one of those days where a dark cloud hovers over your head and everything goes wrong..
Caffeine Poisoning..
Walked over to Liang Court after lunch and a colleague treated us to Vietnamese Coffee. Having taken coffee at the joints in Vietnam, was half expecting it to be mildly stronger than local coffee. Ends up, we took half an hour to finish up that half cup of coffee!! (And I had to add 3 packs of sugar and dilute it with water, just to make it drinkable!!) Considering that I take 8 cups of coffee a day, this is serious stuff man. I had XX 2... and they have like 6 levels of coffee. I can't imagine whats in XX 6... U'd probably be drinking acid...New member..
This is the latest addition to my collection of dying plants.... hope what they say about these plants being hardy is true.
Muddled..
Was trying to tell a friend about the new car I just bought. While trying to explain that the COE was at a low, I excitedly mumbled "The ERP we got was quite low, cos we got the car at the next ERP bid". Scratching his head, my friend looked at me and said "COE isit, wat ERP got so expensive?"
In the evening, while talking about high salaried CEO's being able to afford luxury cars, again I mumbled, "Imagine if u r a COE and u earn like $30k a month, would u still be driving a Vios??"
Rats... I need speech theraphy..

Ponder...
Ever seen an embarassing moment and wonder what u would do if u were in it? Sometimes I really wonder if what I'm doing is the right thing.So, lets just say, if you were to see a friend with 2 strands of hair sticking out his/her nose... would u:
a) crack a joke of it;
b) bring him/her to a corner and tell him/her; or
c) pretend u diden see it.
Or if u had body or mouth odour, would u:
a) Rather have ur friends pretend they don't know;
b) Have someone tell u asap so that u could do something about it; or
c) "If u r my friend, learn how to live with it!!"
I guess what u'd do and what u want people to do to u, if u were in that situation might differ. While ignorance is bliss, sometimes, I'd rather know it, feel embarassed and get it done with. Other times, I'd wish a small tsunami would sweep over, and everyone would concentrate on it and forget about the embarassing stuff. I guess its good to be able to laugh at yourself once in a while, but then again, once in a very very long while.
Blur....
Before getting the car, someone told me that the new Vios had a really loud engine sound. Got the car, and sure thing, there was this loud rumbling noise everytime I drove to about 80 - 100. It came to a point that the sound was really quite bad, and we even contemplated on getting sound proofing for the car. The auto gear comes in a kinda wierd shaped configuration with P, R, N, D-3, 2, L.Then one fine day, I realised that D and 3 was actually 2 seperate gears, and u just switch between gears by shifting in from the left to the right and vice versa. Good thing I realised this in the first week of driving the new car, or else I'd be using 3rd gear whenever I use the car! Sure thing, the sound dissapeared after switching gears and we saved a couple of hundreds in sound proofing. Who designs such ^&%#%$# configurations anyway.
Owuwwwuu..

It's 2009!
It's 15 mins away from the new year, and we're back home waiting for the countdown. Went to a couple of shops earlier and it seemed dead quiet. Perhaps everyone is at Marina Barrage, St James or some other place ushering the new year.
For me, new year is another one of those days that gives me an excuse to send mass messages, contact those that I haven been in touch with throughout the year, letting some friends know that they aren't forgotten and perhaps setting a resolution or two.
My new year resolution? Never thought of it. Maybe exercise more? Live healthier? Go home more often? Or maybe something less holistic... like writing a book? learning a new instrument? taking a course? Right now, I guess I'm happy just living day by day and taking things as they come.
So, to everyone reading this... its about time to countdown. So, wish everyone a Happy New Year!! And Bestest of Wishes!!!

Carollers in the office..
These guys came over to the office for christmas carolling. They were dem cute. Sang Jingle Bells in Mandarin and a whole load of other songs. Best part was the donations, these guys are trained I tell you.. they have the makings of top sales persons. I ended up donating 3 times.. its tantamount to extortion by being adorable!!
Critter..
We went to a semi-popular restaurant for dinner. After having our orders taken, I saw a little tiny roach climbing along the wall downwards towards the table. By natural instinct, I took a couple of serviettes, removed the roach and placed it in the unlit candle holder at the far side of the table. The waiter came over and saw a serviette in the candle holder. Looking curiously at what was inside, I whispered to him that it was a little roach. Startled, he looked at it again, as if wondering if it was dead or alive. Again, I whispered to him..."shhh.. It's probably dead" and he nodded in recognition. After lunch, we asked for the bill, and the waiter came over and told us to wait. He then brought over 2 cups of ice cream and told us his manager was really sorry for what happened. Things like this happens, and most restaurants wont even bother with the ice cream. Having eaten that, I'm obliged not to mention the restaurants name. It just reminds me of the coffee shop opposite our office, the kfr that one guy bit at kfc and the impopular prata ring incident. Ah well, this is nothing compared to the rat we saw during breakfast in a Hanoi hotel.
