Merry X'mas
Mood
My lungs will soon cease to be part of my organs....
Lately leh, a lot of people gave me reindeers. Why ar? I am not even Santa. 不思議でたまらない (unbelievable)。Now I have more reindeers than I have cows. Weird thing for a farm.... weirder is no one gave me a sleigh to go with the reindeers. So they are now grazing the artificial grass in my farm hogging space among my turkey, rabbit, sheep, pigs and horses.

Don't mind that pig, I was lining up the reindeers and that pig suddenly rush into the shot. Cam w.h.o.r.e...

Infatuated
Mood
Guilty......
Have been remiss in updating the blog, even Nite blogs more than me nowadays. Super Chu Chai no need to say ler. Since married he no longer blogs, now got junior Chu Chai, lagi lar, no blog.
The reason I have not been bloggin, is because I am busy with my restaurant business.. ha ha ha ha...Restaurant in Facebook.
I am also busy looking after my aquarium of fishes. Breeding fishy to sell by the way. See the orange egg below. It's gonna hatch, once it's grown I am going to sell it to make monies.
Love this aquarium..
I also have to look after the farm. Growing cotton, the most expensive thing that I can sell and I can harvest at a reasonably short period of time. Bought myself a tractor too, but realize damn thing needs fuel. Grrr.. Tertipu.
Need more neighbours
Last but no least, kena challenge by colleagues in office, so lately also playing Bejeweled Blizt. It's misleading too cause it always tell you "ONE MINUTE" but you end playing for more than 2 hours minimum.
Records refreshes all the weekend
Dunno why all these must happen when I am suppose to be studying for my upcoming JLPT 2. Happens all the time. Maybe it is the avoiding syndrome. Avoiding to study for exam, cooking up all sort of excuses. Maybe it's the rebel inside me. Maybe got phycological disorder. I must be an obedient child, the rebel me being suppresed all these years. ( mum -> choke**).

The fact that I am suppose to be studying and not studying is the problem and Facebook is the root of all evil.

Stress
Mood
Generally pissed....
.
Nothing much to blog, just wanna curse the idiot who ask for discount. I think he broke Guinness World of Record for the making the highest number of enemies with the shortest amount of time. I think the entire project team hates him now. Because of him and some other idiot who will not be named here, I worked my ass off until 4am in the morning putting together a proposal so that boss can present to the stakeholders.
Well he did praised me for a good job done. My uncle will say, lip service is always free. Well I hope he remembers me come appraisal.
Need sleep..

Races in Life
Mood
I am so dead, today have to MC...
Running was never something I aim to do or even want to try. It was one of those go with the flow thing that just happened. Suddenly I had completed 4 runs. Cliche as it is, this is how I always view life, just take what comes, make lemonade when you have lemons.
I had my last run of the year yesterday. It was a change of scenery because the previous runs are all around Changi. This run was around town and you get to see the Eye and the Merlion. Unfortunately, this is the first time I ran with sore thighs (from Spinning and sandcastle previous days). As I was running along the highway, I can't help but think races are just like life. Don't ask why the sudden revelation. It just happened, maybe cause the brain was oxygen deprived and start hallucinating but yeah, races are just like life.
We start somewhere and will end somewhere eventually. You can start with a walk, jog, fast trot even run. You will overtake those slower than you and you will be overtaken by someone faster than you. There will always be someone faster than you and there will always be someone slower than you. You can envy all you want but if you don't do something about it, it will just remain an unpleasant emotion. And you gotta be careful that people slower than you might not always end up slower than you. They might overtake you if you remain at constant speed. Know thy physic law. Constant speed means no acceleration. Someone who accelerates just a little bit will overtake you eventually. So you must always check your speed. Just any technology in the market, new now, old news in 3 months.
When you see someone zoom past you, you think, 'damn I wish I am that fast,'. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts in runs. You want to run fast, you gotta train for the stamina and the energy. Sure, some are born with longer limbs but without the proper training, it will just be waste. Just like there are people born rich but without the proper training to sustain the wealth, it will just be squandered away. You want to be rich, you gotta work for it. Even prostitutes have to work ok.
I like to run down slopes because it took less energy, Moo walk down slopes because it pains her knees. I can't really run up slope because my thighs hurt and I ran out of breath. Moo runs up hill because she finds it easy. Things that are advantage to your might be a disadvantage to others. Learn to know what are your advantages and use them wisely. I always run down the slopes to catch up when I have to slowly climb the next uphill slope.
In a run, it is so very easy to give up after 2-3km. You gotta constantly motivate your self, perseverance, patience and belief that you will eventually be there if you keep it up. You can walk now and then but always remember to pick up the speed when you have rested. Some will just continue to walk all the way. Sure, you will reach the end but other who reached earlier than you have probably took all the free milo and ice cream. You fine with that? Ok lor...

There is nothing more rewarding that seeing the end of the line after 1.00 hour ++ of running plus jogging plus walking. Somehow you can find the energy for an added burst of speed. Gone where the pant, the soreness of limbs. There is just one goal in sight- water and yeah the end of the run. After that, you will think " That is not so hard after all."
I still took about 1 hour 30 minutes to complete all my runs but I got clever, I ask those who complete to take the freebies for me next time.. HA HA HA.

Sandcastle here I come...
Mood
I am soooooo dead tired....
When is the last time you built a sandcastle using your mother's pail? Like 20 some years ago? I still remember it was at Lumut, Perak. Now Lumut is a Navy base already. Anyway, we had this Sandcastle team building event at the beach. I thought it would be sooo fun to build sandcastles. But I gotta tell you, now that you are an adult, no more using washing pails or ice cream box or Tupperware to do sandcastle especially when it's sponsored by your company. You were given proper equipments.
Call me Village girl lar.. but I seriously had no idea sandcastles need equipment. I thought all you need is just sand and water right? Wrong! If you really wanna build a serious sandcastle, you need equipment and I gotta said, it made me felt like a construction worker not to mention we really had an ex-construction worker in our team. He is so kind to volunteer his expert opinion which falls on deaf ears most of the time. He even mixed sand like mixing cement.
The entire event took 4 hours but the actual sandcastle building is only slightly above 2 hours. So the other 2 hours was spent:-
After 2 hours of back breaking work.. Our masterpiece is as below. Did I mention the tower the previous team constructed decided to become a leaning tower and collapsed on us, so we had to rebuild it. It's adversity over and over. In the end our team park don't look too shabby. By the way we cheated on the tower, it was only 4.5 feet. Well, no time mar, remember we had to rebuild the fallen one.
Now compare this to a professional sandcastle. This sandcastle sit smack in front of our sandcastle built by the trainer.
They even put some tiny figurine to make it real. I guess this is how they filmed Lord of the Rings huh.
Defend!!!

They even sell it for SGD35.00. Shovel not included.

The entire event took 4 hours but the actual sandcastle building is only slightly above 2 hours. So the other 2 hours was spent:-
- Loitering around the beach taking photos
- Listening to instruction
- Learning how to use the equipment
- Learning how to build sandcastle
No joke ar, you need to know how to use the equipment and you need to know how much water to how much sand or your sandcastle will remain a pile of sand. We had to pass the sandcastle karipap test before we are even allowed near the equipment. Ladies got extra lesson on how to use the shovel.
Our mission is to build a castle with a 5 feet tower (yes, as tall as me), complete with surrounding wall, a 3 layer defense, armory, barracks and a escape chute for royalty. After I heard that, I almost fainted. I am a business analyst for God's Sake, not a bloody architect. Some more have to draw floor plan and the head trainer have to approach floor plan before we can start. Some serious team building huh.
I got drafted to do the wall (1 feet tall), of all things. So had to spent my time squatting kung fu style packing sand. Back breaking work I can tell you and when our walls were about to meet the on coming side built by other team members we found it was misaligned. Now your know why I am not an architect right ha ha ha... anyway we solve it by building an archway over it. Yeah yeah the archway is senget but we prefer to say it's fengshui ala Lilian Too style. Desparation Creativity at work.

Sweat and blood...

Oh I wish I can shrink myself and explore it.
They even put some tiny figurine to make it real. I guess this is how they filmed Lord of the Rings huh.
Defend!!!Yeah, I was grumbling and all but it was serious fun even with annoying people trying to give advise and tell you what to do. I think I am going to buy that kit and bring my family to the beach to play!

Holiday is over
Mood
This is what happens when I tell people I wish Friday never come...
Got myself, or shall I say my boss got me into this big project with insane timeline and thus I am busting my arse off trying to meet the delivery date. Last document due to vomit out by this Friday and thus I wish Friday will never come, for the obvious reason.... but nowadays I think I mix with too many violent inclined people, they only hear the part - I wish Friday never comes.. and whack first talk later.
Lately anyone and everyone whom I met in the lift, on the streets, along the corridor say one thing. "You look haggard". I think I got a permanent haggard look already and I especially feel haggard with all the work bogged down on me, personal and professional. God I sound like an old man in mid life crisis.
To top it all, everyone is questioning my sanity when they knew I am not taking leave in December. What for? It's the best time to work. All peace and quiet with no one to disturb. Alright, actual reason is I don't have leave left because of over indulgence earlier part of the year. (@)*)@#(*$)%.....
Perhaps I should just empty one weekend and become sotong.. can I?
This weekend, GE Run coming up. Last run of the year! Yippie. NO more runs after that until next year depending on the one who sleeps next to me.
Violin exam was also postponed to July next year. Best news to date! Teacher said forgot to register me. Har Har... I think she finally realize when I said I sucked at sight reading, I am not being humble. Probably even regretted asking me to take exam.. ha ha ha... but I already hopped on the wagon. Dread it but will do it.. eventually.
