Was having flu for almost 2 weeks. Nagging headache wasn't helping and tooth pains made chips out of what was left of my mood. Add salt to pain and my boss gives us a whole list of inspections to be completed in two weeks.
Come Friday and I was really exhausted. Mustered whatever was left of my strength and got over with the first inspection site in the morning. Rushed lunch with a buddy, and then got down to taking a restatement for one of those neverending cases I was holding. By 4pm, I was almost ready to call it quits, when I get an email telling me that things were completed at a nearby site. Got down and realised that they had done like 10% of what they said they did and told them I'd be back to check on them another time. Flew over to ta pao dinner, desert and coke (the drinking one) and then rushed home. By the time the day ended, it felt so good to just drop on the bed and play dead.
Come Saturday (it's a weekend and I don't work weekends), and went to SITEX 2008 after breakfast. Finished late afternoon and got home to do housework. Finished cleaning 2 toilets and 2 rooms, and then headed out to buy dinner. Got home, had dinner and had some time with Red Alert 3 on a Soviet Mission. It's now 11.00pm..and again, I'm exhausted. Hope I do get a good nights sleep tonight.
Working leh!!
Earlier posted a pic of a colleague catching me sleeping. Its only right if I dispelled the misconception that I only sleep. These are pics taken by a friend while I was at work. See... I work!

You'd better watch out,
You'd better not cry;
You'd better keep cash,
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.
It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town
It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!
Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash

Watching Devil's Disciples..
Spent the weekend and today night watching the HK serial I bought titled "Devil's Disciples". Is it good? Should've guessed from me chasing 20 over episodes over 3 days!
Read from a forum sometime back that the show was quite interesting, minus the ending bit. After watching the series, I realise that the reviews are entirely correct. It is entertaining though, watching a whole cantonese serial.
The last time I watched one was when we were watching 'Da Chang Jin' (Those intermediate ones like the kung fu show with the fortune teller one, which was stopped half way, doesn't count).
Well, now that the series is over, I guess I have to fall back on the thursday animes for entertainment.

Cousin sisters came over for a working trip. They stayed over at my place for a night last week, then one of them went back, and the other stayed over at the company paid hotel. Just had a chat with her. She's going back tomorrow.
Funny thing about travelling is that we go shopping and stuff, and go to a million places that you wont go to if you were living there. Its like the novelty of going places is really not there. For the 5 days my cuz was here, she probably visited more shopping complexes than what I'd visit in a year!
Its been ages since I've seen these kids. One offered to make me pancakes for breakfast and reminded me that she is now a housewife. The other changed 3 companies in the past few years and made a carreer switch to HR a yr ago. It's like they've grown so much that they've outgrown me. My cousin brother, the one I am closest to, has to stay home to look after his kid.
Oh well, maybe one day, I'd wake up and see some long beard and white hair... and then realise that I've actually reached an age where feeling young is no longer an option.

Astrology???!?
It's funny u know...when coincidences happen all at once...
1) A cousin I've not seen for years calls my sis and arranges for a dinner...
2) Two other cousins call to say they're staying over...
3) Dad makes plans to come over on Tuesday (secretly)...but postpones his plans by a week or two...
4) Mom follows sis from KL to SG...
5) Best friend smses that he will be coming down to SG...
It's like the entire year, no one travels... but all of a sudden, everyone comes over!!
Gung Fu Duan Lan (Kung Fu Dunk)
I know I know... its out for ages... but I just watched it. Not bad, not bad at all. Even though I'm not really a Jay Chou fan...
Just realised the other person singing Zhou Da Xia with Jay is Ah Du!

Blunder..
Came 11.20am, we made our way to the old folks home to deliver rice. Its a volunteer thing that the company sponsors, and we just have to spend some time sending it up to the respective units. We had 4 packets to deliver and made our way to the top floor. On delivering our second packet, we went into the lift, pressed the lift button and went out. We were talking about life and old age and didn't really look at which floor we alighted at. When we got to the unit, we noticed that the old folk was not there. At the door was this guy, who looked as though he had not taken food for a decade. I asked him where the old man was, and the only response he gave was "No food, no food, no food". He took the rice from my hand, brought it to the floor and started eating it. We had a shock, and I asked him where the old man was. He said "I am the only one staying here". Just then, my colleague realised our mistake. We had alighted at the 16th floor, instead of the 15th. We rushed down, got to the rice and fruit stall and got some food for the old folk at 15th floor. Really hope it was ok for him. Next time, we'd better check thrice, before we pass anything to anyone thats not an old folk. On a lighter note, we're going for this childrens day event for the kids. They have a few booths we could mend, and the only one that seems to catch my fancy, is the one with cotton candy... yumm.
Share, Shear, Hears, Hares, Ares?
Been playing a lot of wordchallenge on facebook. Got hooked after aunty got 15000+ pts, beat her with 16000+, and all of a sudden, saw her score skyrocket to 25000!!! Now, an average human with one brain gets 10,000+ in score. Aunty probably have 2 and a half brains.
After a few weeks of playing, I got close to 25000...I was at 21000 for the longest time until one day, when it finally happened... I reached 26000!! After that... I shut off my fb, and vowed not to open it for the next week. After all, I know that the moment i open it, I will see aunty's 35000 score waiting for me.
Problem does not end there. There are side effects. I was driving along the road when I saw a NISSAN truck. Instinctively, SIN, SINS, ASS, SIS.. started coming out of nowhere... u can guess what happens when I saw a SGH2176A car in front of me. (Hint: Sag, Shag, Gas, Has, Hags?)..
I think I better remove the application for good...

From a friend..... How to loose weight
A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads,
"If you catch me you can have me".
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is ou! r most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, you are mine."
He lost 63 pounds that week.
