Numbers game

Needed a break from work, and took an impromptu leave today.


Vacation Trip
Settled some of the logistics stuff for the Viet trip today; brought dear to beach road and bought the backpacks.

Work
Crap happens and turned a perfectly wonderful month into serious diarrhoea + puking.
Am I always the one to create history wherever I go?

Judgement
I hope to bring forward D-Day

Superband
Just saw that my favoured band, 森林贴, did a "Chris Daughtry", and got dumped out of the competition, despite getting top 3 high scores from the judges, and being the most consistent performers in the whole competition.

No disrespect for the remaining bands, but we just witnessed the best group for this season go home, and this made the competition a lot less exciting and interesting.

There will be no chance for them to do a "Milo Peng" and return to be the champions, since there is no more revival rounds.

The champion's title is now wide open for everyone.
Apparently apart from talent, money plays a VERY big part in this materialistic world...
(yes yes, best example is still in football, but this is more close to home)

Beyond and under

It never rains but pours.
I'm always the one to step on dog shit, but never the one to pick up cash on the floor.
The sharper side of the blade of a double-edged sword is always facing me...


BTW, I will be off to vietnam for a badly needed break from 28 oct to 5 nov.
Maybe will extend the trip...

Weekend is here...

Another super busy day at work again.

4 hours of sleep last night AGAIN and I have to last till now to continue to work somemore.
Reminds me of a scene from "300":


Better try to sleep early tonight so that I can go running tomorrow!

Songs that I listening to now:
SOLER - 直觉

Mood Swing? I dunno...

Time
Been so busy lately that I don't even have the time to touch my PS3.

Finally quit the online game that I have been wanting to for so long, and passed the account to the BOB guys so as not to waste the efforts that I had put in. Now I have 1 less thing on my mind to worry about.

Not enough sleep again every night as usual.

Now there isn't even enough time for me to respond to emails at work as quickly as I want to.
Maybe if I spend all my waking time to work, it will probably meet 70% of the response rate that I want. Well, almost all my waking time during weekdays are committed to work already.

Sports
Dropped off from work immediately at 5.15pm today to join the volleyball game in office amidst the drizzle with the service guys. really need breaks from work. Good to have some recreation activities with the guys from my side.

Ended up playing full court basketball with the service team after the volleyball game. I'm still better suited to bball...

Wind of Change
Just heard that one of my colleagues have jumped ship today. We have "hit the quota" for the month again on staff turnover...

Things are starting to get interesting now...

Holiday
Suddenly have the urge to visit some place that I have not visited before. I need a serious break from work. I have 17 days of leave that I can use now. The figure will go up to around 21 days at the end of this year.

Football Juggling
Judgement is still on. It may be brought forward by other parameters.
Chance to do a DB9?
Let see how the uncontrolled situation will pan out over time.

The next movie on my MUST WATCH list

Finally managed to catch WALL-E on the big screen last Friday night. Was definitely worth waiting for.

Disney made the very natural move of marketing their next upcoming major animation in the trailer teasers for WALL-E.



BOLT

Usually I'm more excited when I see dogs, but the hamster in the trailer is simply too adorable!

Will be waiting for this show to be released on 21st Nov!!!

Time slips by...

Weekend

Weekend is over in the blink of an eye.
I missed out on the things that I have wanted to do:
  • Start training session for marathon
  • Go visit Southern Ridges
  • Go on a SG farm tour
  • Catch some sun at the beach

Only managed to visit the dog run and do some shopping over sat and sun.

Bought a pair of working shoes at $19, and a pair of running shoes at $0 (value at $69, buy with taka vouchers)

-----

Shoes

Some how or rather, I will always manage to bump into some running shoes sales every year before the marathon, and buy a pair of shoes that meets my requirements for the marathon, with a budget of less than $80. It has been New Balance for the last 6 marathons. But I managed to bump into a Taka sale, and bought a superb pair of running (racing) shoes for this year's marathon, though its not NB anymore.

Saucony, almost equivalent to NB in terms of design and cost (cheaper), though cushioning-wise there is no fight with NB. But hell, this one is a lot lighter, meets my requirements, and is going at $69. Enough to prompt me to test a new brand this year.

-----

Juggling

Football evaluation is still on. Will be waiting for 1 Dec.

Either make the cut, or cut the make.

-----

Next weekend

Things that MUST be done:

  1. Seriously need to plan early for my next trip.
  2. START the god-damned training already!
  3. Update resume
