Today Was A Good Day-Ice cube

Cute!

Everybody Wants To Rule The World-Tears For Fears

it's been a long day.

i've been awake right from dawn till now,which about an hour and a half to midnite.
no i'm not complaining but in fact i had a great Idul Adha today,spending time with family;aunts and uncles,cousins,nieces and nephews and feasting on tasty food and drinks till i could not tuck in my bulging tummy no more,it's all good.

and good things always seems too fast to pass and now we'll have to wait till next gathering and we'll have feel good time once again and that we'll be next weekend for our beloved cousin wedding occasion.

but before that happens,with all the fun that i've had,it actually slipped my mind,that i've to report on monday morning 7am for the scheduled in-camp training.damn.and to make matter a lil bit sour,i've actually have to join another unit's in camp training as this is my make up cover for the last one that i missed.i hope it's not going to be that bad as my mind picture it to be.
and traveling from pasir ris all the way to jalan bahar could be hazardous especially during the peak morning traffic,or worse if i ever to wake up late,i'll might ended up in some dark soiled confinement cell,and so i've discussed with my missus,and decided that during the four bloody days i'll be staying over at ebok's place.at least staying over at her place is not as far and i do hope i will be released daily and pray hard NOT to stay and bunk in the smelly beds.NO!NO!NO!

and another thing which is bothering me is that i have to rummage through my uniform,boots and stuff and i hope i could find it on time.

Happy Idul Adha!

I've Gotta Feeling-Black Eyed Peas

it has been crazy since last week,with plenty of events happening almost every single day and night,and we've been working from early in the morning till real late.and myself,i have to juggle my quality time with my wife and tried my very best to divide both work and play.it's difficult yes,especially when i have just little time to spend with her,lotsa sacrifices and energy needed.and also i need to keep myself safe and healthy especially during this wet weather season.

yesterday for example,i had to wake up as early as 5am and we both had to rush to the airport to bid farewell to our uncle Puteh,who had to board the morning flight for his Haj pilgrimage.then i had to send Minerva to her workplace which then i had to rev up the throttle and reported to work,loaded our stuffs onto the lorry and hit the road,from Pasir Ris all the way to Tanjung Kling,which was the other end of the island and the journey took us about 45 minutes backbreaking ride.

after our job delivering and setting up the booths were done,we rushed back,stopping midway for kambing soup at boon keng and zoomed back to workplace,got ourselves change into jeans and a new pair of polo tee,we then headed to NUS campus hall,where we waited patiently,dozing off in between times,for our turn to walk onstage,receiving our Excellent Service Award,shook hands and took a group picture,exit the hall,skipped the buffet and got back into my boss's Harrier where i got myself snugged comfortably at the boot with a cuddly bear as a cushion at the back of my head and dozed off as we moved off back to the office.

as soon as we got at the office,i checked the email,and with the massive emails unread,it drove me nauseous and a terrible headache soon developed.packed my stuff,put on my Samba sneakers and left the place.

i need help.nope,i need rest.too much for an Excellent Service Award,it's depleting my strength.

Sending All My Love-Linear

it's been crazy here and as i type this i'm actually djing for a graduation dinner and the dance part will commence in about an hour's time.

i am not prepared for this,and as i walked into the ballroom earlier today,i saw the banner hung on the wall with big white fonts and the 'retro' word caught my attention,Ooops i hope i have enough retro music with me.

the evening started off with a big panic,i couldn't receive any signal on the mixer board which indicate no any sound coming from the client's laptop.HELP!
at the same time,they were requesting for some fancy lights but when i checked out the console,there wasn't any lighting board hooked.i was struck with stress!
guests were already having their cocktail session outside and the door is opening soon.i was like a mad dog,trying to rectify the audio problem,my mind trying to figure out how to fix the lighting board and the same time,one hand calling for help over the phone while the other twitching the knobs.

my Boss and Larry came to the rescue,they assisted in sorting the laptop audio,while i sought help from Fadli with 'over the line' step by step procedure getting the bloody lines and cables properly inserted and connected..

Thank goodness it all worked out fine,good thing i've good people to assist and good thing i brought along my lappy,coz that's when i found out i got my retro hits.

i feel so lucky tonite!

God knows what time will i reach home and hit the sack tonite,i felt so tired especially after working long hours for the salsa international event over the past weekend and it's only tuesday today and we're already running multiple events,with more dinners and big events this day on,and with the school holiday programme which multiplied and piled up more stuffs for us to do for this year end holidays..oohh

You're Wondering Now-The Specials

November Rain-Guns & Roses

it took me about 45 minutes ride on my scooter from chua chu kang back to pasir ris yesterday.
along the way my flesh was burnt by the scorching heat and washed wet by the drizzle which proved hazardous as it pierced my exposed face at 100km/hr.

-speed demon-
i was utterly shocked to receive news from my sister as she read me a letter over the phone which said i was caught speeding on 3rd of november at 8.53am.oh my!i can't believe what she said but felt better at the end of the conversation as she told and assured me that it is just a warning letter.
i really don't believe that i'm such a speedy gonzalez.i'm not,probably the speed cam they used could be faulty or maybe it was just a practical joke by the traffic marshals who disliked the shape and color of my italian stallion.who knows?
but anyway,how fast could my scooter go on the road?speeding?you guys must be mad..

i'm stuck at home with the rain pouring outside while it was bright and sunny mode about 5 minutes ago.oh the weather is SO predictable.
and Minerva woke up with an excuse NOT to report to work today,she called up her office for urgent leave and we could rest a little longer on our bed.and a longer Fifa10 session.

Cheers!

Just Dance-Lady Gaga

i felt a jerk on my lower back which followed by a jolt of ache which gradually developed into an awful pain.the pain also depleted my strength and energy to perform my task last sunday afternoon but together with my colleagues we managed to clear all our necessary stuffs.

i did not have time to see the doctor as the next day there were plenty of meetings and preparations for tuesday,which was our annual d&d.it was a bit of rush with so many things to follow up and what made it more difficult was the cd software that i'm supposed to be playing during the dinner was thai songs to fit and blend into the 'exotic' thai theme.i can't help but cursing the person who decided to have the thai theme of all bloody themes that we can have.and so i had to travel all the way to golden mile shopping complex to get a fabulous 3 for $10 thai disco hits;besides that i had to ask colleagues to contribute thai cds and also i had to download thai songs,with fear that i might don't have enough selection.

but it was alright and in the end,i had to switch to latest R&B hits to pull and aroused the young crowd to move forward and boogie-all but for 10 minutes of disco,as another 'smart aleck' chose to slot the disco segment in between of the night's programme,which means no disco at the end of it.which was also good for myself and the poor working crew who had to work during our very own company function and consider ourselves lucky as we managed to swerve away from that final disco part or it might have ended late,with troops of drunkards joining the queue to ask the dj to play their favourite song so they could show off to their friends their crazy dance moves and singing to the lyrics all at the same time.

fortunate me.

so the next day which was yesterday,after sending my wife to her workplace and settling my scoot's insurance and road tax,i took the liberty to spend the rest of the drizzling morning at the chinese medical clinic at joo chiat road for acupuncture treatment for my back and right knee.God knows how many needles were pierced through my flesh as i lay there face down during the electrolysis period and right after that i was given the 'merciless' massage,the doctor somehow used his kung fu in pulling and stretching my skin and veins,rocking my body side to side and gave a bone-cracking pressure at the end of it.but it was not complete without the cuppings on the affected areas.he advised that i had to stretch my muscles before any workout,gave out medicine and issued me an mc,yup don't laugh,an official medical chit allowing to rest at home without going to work.heee...and all that for $45.

Don't Stop Believing-Journey

no.9 equalised just before half time in last night's game and so i thought the Reds will improve on the next 45 minutes.

but i thought wrong.we all thought wrong.

i didn't have the energy to continue with the second half but was awoken in my sleep by folks who were angry with the result and unleashed their furious thoughts via texts and sharing mad and sad feelings due to the poor performance LFC had put up lately.

and i was driven mad too,but i continued my precious sleep.

we sang songs of praise of how we shamed Man Utd last week,how we defeated them again and again...but we lose to Fulham at craven cottage yesterday,isn't that ridiculous?

quit thinking of those gleaming silverware and shooting confettis,with this worsening results that we're getting,oh it's so embarassing honestly.

and there is only one particular person everybody loves to pick for this,who else but the fat spanish?

it's the sixth lost already.
how are we going to reverse this,Mr Benitez?
how are YOU going to fix this?

pressure is growing.....
