Bowling for URA
Became an accidental representative for the MND Sports Event, Bowling Tournament on Friday. Perhaps the first time ever in a bowling competition. Took on this sport as a very waste money one because you are like throwing your money into the drain....
I have not bowled for years... can't even recall the last time I've touched a bowling ball. The other teams were all very strong, amateurs but played really really well with their custom-made balls, shoes and even hand-gears, made us in this event looking like calefares. It was even mentioned that they formed teams long time ago, took up training in the CSC club every Friday. To them, it was their passion and commitment, to us, it sounded like a chore. Guess we are less of the sporting type where work and family comes first.
Win or lose, we still have to put up a good show. Here's my team, consisting of 4 lovely ladies... all singles!!

The balls looked more like balloons than 10 lbs balls... but actually they are quite heavy when posing too long.
Yep, our team played pretty well, some strikes... hmm.. no "turkeys".. hopefully not last at least.
p.s: I still can't figure out which weight of the ball is more suitable for me, the 8 lbs or 9 lbs. One of my teammates mentioned that I tend to "skip" everytime I threw the ball.. which looked awkward. Hmm, bad habits die hard.. I din even realise it myself. =(

I've never fall sick for quite some time. However, there are some indications now, stuffy nose, heavy head. I remembered my worst flu was back sometime back in March where I was fevering and managed to score an A for a quiz during lectures. You could say it was out from luck but I was sure that I had studied well enough for it.
It has been almost 1 yr, work in URA is currently quiet and pretty peaceful cos due to some interim handover to another section. Sad to say, I was quite reluctant to really pass on the project(s) to another person. I had spent so much effort in it. From nothing ... to something. One of my "baby" was an identity node! I remembered the times when I made site visits consistently few days in a week, even when the haze was strong. Took pictures, did some site measurements, explored the ground. And back to the office to put all these info into the plans. And I fell sick due to the haze....
I wished to blog about him however he mentioned he felt "naked"... thus I was thinking of having another blog somewhere. Dun worry, I'll touch a little here.. :-)
We had our breakfast at Tiong Bahru market on our 1st mth anniversary, exactly 1 mth after his birthday. Well, it was Live Earth day as well... 070707, what a day to remember, where 777 couples were married in Spore. A middle-aged man was playing harmonica and asking for donations in the market, just next to the table where we were sitting. KK gave the man some money and described to me that it was romantic as well, like sitting in a high class restaurant while the musicians were playing their instruments just beside your table.
Some random photos for the week... not many photos taken... sorrie.

Taken from some website of someone cosplaying "L"... really had some uncanny resemblance of the primate character.

Some transformers toy displays outside Cineleisure after watching the movie
It's really cool! Go watch it!

Mccafe's cappuccino, $2.50 at AMK with galfriends. We were having steamboat buffet last Fri. (Highly recommended buffet, shall introduce the place to u guys next time)

It has been 6 months in the new place I worked in. Recently, I've gained some courage to tell the DD that I really wanna concentrate doing the projects assigned to me thus can't really be his PA. You can't be having a staff doing planning and a secretary at the same time unless you pay him well. Mr Elite was supposed to be doing most of the report and analysis but as usual, he did nothing much giving excuses like he was given alot of projects, was part of the other project team, etc, thus I was the only one driving the project.
Should I stay on in a place where they recognise only scholars or honours students? This is a typical sight in Govt bodies where fresh grads are normally degree holders with good honours. Recently, there has been a high turn-over of planners; which shows how competitive the private sector is. It is not unusual to hear a planner quitting after only staying for 1 mth.
Actually, I wanted to watch the show "Just Follow Law" which describes the working life in Govt sector. But most of my friends have watched it during chinese new year and I am pretty busy to catch it after the festive season. Guess I'll wait for the dvd instead.
been sleeping late again and can't seem to have a good night sleep. Keep getting up in the middle of the night and having difficulties to sleep again. Due to stress perhaps. Ups and downs in work, projects, assignments from my studies. Took a day's leave to rest at home last Tues before I really break down... or even nervous breakdown. Spent a good day at home, slept until 12pm, dyed my hair black ( I looked tanner) and managed to chat with my sis (thru msn) and aunt abit.

u rarely see my smile nowadays...
I'm planning for a holiday getaway and shopping spree to Taiwan or Hong Kong. Anyone joining me? Bring an extra pair of legs along if u wanna join me.
