The AWARE saga is over and the old exco have claimed back rightfully what belongs to them =)
I have never agreed with the actions of the new exco, despite me being a Christian as well. I do not think what they did is right and I definitely do not share their views from the start. But well I am not in a position to judge them for what they did. I am just glad the old exco got back what they worked hard for.
Sidenote, being an acc grad, I am appalled at how the new mgt spends the funds! $90k for the counsel fees for Rajan & Tann! And how much more for the Suntec venue etc? And they said oh well, the funds generated from the new membership fees can cover the costs. This is a non-government organization! Do they think NGOs will have a spike in membership every month?
It has been hard on the old exco team for this period. Congratz to them again!

X'mas week!
X'mas week!
- Church had x'mas services on the weekend before x'mas and I helped to be an usher for all the services. Being an usher is more than just welcoming people in, it's really challenging too. And I got to know more people through these x'mas events.
But then, I ushered coz I ushered in the past, and I dun really find this my calling. Hmmm.
- Can u believe it... I continued to lose in MJ. Itchy hands! I surely hope 2009 will be a better year for my MJ. Still, great to meet up with my army buddies again.
- And I cooked rice and fried bee hoon for a potluck gathering. Ok my mum helped... haha. But I guess I more or less got the hang of it. It can be quite an enjoyment to cook!
- Went with V to Orchard road on x'mas day. They closed a stretch of orchard road and displayed some floats. Orchard road that day was flooded with fili maids, machiam another lucky plaze.
- Clearing my x'mas leave and new year leave, its time to plan my CNY leave. More to clear. Haha!

Office X'mas deco
Our company had a x'mas tree decoration competition and 2 of my new colleagues were arrowed to take part in it. And another new colleague, also from my department, was also arrowed to decorate our level.
So, my neighbour and I were also roped in to help...
We decided on a theme from "From Rags to Riches" and that we would make the ornaments on the tree ourselves. Originally, we even thought of self-making the tree but that proves to be too troublesome.
The deadline was last Friday... and we procrastinated. Ha! Stayed until almost 11 on thurs night to finish it (and 1/3 of the entire level).
This is the x'mas that was finally finished last thursday! All the ornaments on the tree are self-made, including the star on top! All the snow there, are actually the leftovers from the hole-punchers!
Now, a closer look at the star...
The "X" was represented by the star, glittery and shimmery!
And, the team that put the tree together!
++++++
One of my colleagues overheard in the lift, Tax Mgr A telling Tax Mgr B that the TAX tree sure lose to another tree by another department, coz that tree was more shiny and looks more glam (apparently?).
Well if Mgr A really bothers to open his eyes and look at the tree, he would have seen that our tree is made with heart and love.
++++++
Still got 2/3s of our level left undecorated... sigh.

losing with the market
2008 is ending, and i should be glad it's ending!
1. I lost a few 100s bucks in the gym locker.
2. I can't recall winning any MJ or card games this year. Maybe 1?? I have already reduced my MJ frequency, but i should have also lost 200 or so... or more...
3. Hmmm i have my gym clothes in the gym recently. 1 adidas top n adidas pants.........
4. Lost my mp3 player in office. I think i left it on my desk while i went for lunch and it went missing after my lunch. .............
5. My credit instalment planS..........
6. The market now... need not say more...................
Well, the point of this post is, i shall abstain from any forms of gambling, until the cow year comes. Well, i should have done so long ago right, but who can resist the MJ tiles...

a*mei concert
A*Mei rulezzzz!!
Her concert @ the indoor stadium on 4th Oct was a blast! She was saying that we, the audience, were shouting and screaming all the time, not tired meh? But she herself was so energetic throughout the concert, how can we not be high??
Some memorable ones...
1. When she sang “后知后觉” in memory of Zhang Yu Sheng, i personally felt that she put her emotions most in this song.
2. She had some chicken rice and tow-geh before her performance... she was asking how to pronounce tow-geh and she had a whole plate of it to herself! Mel asked "Taiwan dun have beansprouts meh??"
3. She had the audience high with her fast songs, especially “3天3夜” at the end! How come people can sit down throughout her fast songs one?? "Bad Boy", “姐妹”, “牵手”, its time to dance!!
4. She sang Alicia Key's "If i ain't got you" and some Jap song, which were a Singapore special! Oh and an impromptu chorus of Stefanie's "Tee Oh Oh"!
5. She involved many SG in her concert e.g. kewei and lin qi yu as her backup vocals!
3. “维多利亚的秘密” had the intro with 4 hunky strippers stripping!! Haha! And they had this naughty "bed scene". Oh she was facing our side =PPPPPPP
I like where I was sitting, coz she faced our side quite often. Too bad we couldn't see her face clearly (2nd most exp liao)...
Me and mel, high and shagged after the concert! Erm maybe not that shagged since we still went somewhere to play after that... ^^
Dav had a little grouse though, coz he was waiting for "牵手", but the song that was performed was a less rock version.
Wil and Dav's frd also went for the concert! From what I saw, they should be having fun too!
Eh no, I didn't take any photos of the concert itself... It's in my memories!

hari raya!
I love public holidays! I get to sleep in, catch my TAR, ANTM and Survivor on youtube and go to the gym for a while. (oh btw, Selamat Hari Raya and Happy Children's Day!)
Speaking of gym, I see Mr Julxxx Hxx quite frequently in the gym lately. He's really quite tall and hunky. U know gyms have those TVs playing Ch 5, 8 and U, so I was wondering what if Julian happens to be working on one of those machines facing the TVs, and the TV just happens to be showing a show with him himself in it?
How would he feel? "Arrgh!! "? Or "I look so good!"? Or "My acting.... *sigh*" (oops...)
If it were me, I think I would be quite awkward to see myself on TV in public.
But then again, it will not happen to me -_-
() _ () ()_ ()
Sometimes I go to work via those premium bus services. I love it 'coz I get to sit and sleep to work, the bus is hardly crowded, it's very cool and it takes only about 30 - 40 minutes to reach my office.
And the bus captain is also very friendly. On one certain day...
Bus Captain: (smiling) Good morning everybody! Good moring! And sorry for yesterday ah, so sorry...
I was also on the bus the previous day leh, but I really have no idea what happened on the previous day. Too premium service, too confusing...
