Sweeney's Muse
You know... this blog is an occasional vehicle for me to vent/ rant on all the things that has been bugging me! And boy,while I have been quiet, it doesn't mean that I have nothing worth venting or ranting about!
Sheesh... talk about an*l retentive people! I am f&&king surrounded by them... or at least by those that hold the reins of powder! Alamak... damn siong man! How to live a happy life liddat?
Sigh... everyday, I sibe sian to drag myself to prostitute myself for $$, but hey... in Sin(happy)pore, all of us have had to do so....
I am looking at a possible alternative solution, but am not sure if it will work out... still trying to do the sums, and scrounge up enough gumption (ok.. balls) to do what I 'fantasize' about... But everyday, that path is looking ever-more-appealing...

Another Week.. another Dollar!
My goodness, it's Friday already this week! Thanks entirely to the Chinese New Year superlong weekend! Yaayhaayyy.. Althought short, it has been a good week at work.
This morning's meeting went great, everyone's up to speed and my staff is ready to take over the followup. Issues were dealt with and decisions made. I think the guys are adjusting to my style and workflow. Fingers crossed this will stay on track. Timeline for deliverables are tight but manageable. Just need to keep cracking on one person in the team! Why must there always be that one joker?
Just staying back a little to copy some files to work on at home and to blog on this.... Article in the week's papers on cyberloafing is relevant. But hey, who here has'nt surfed over to check on emails, read forums and online papers! Heck I am blogging now, although techically speaking, I knocked off half an hour ago.... but.... if employers want to get you....
Weekend's gonna be good, am going to Changi Point for dinner with the family. Guess we all earned it for a good week. Hmmmm... can taste the ghoulash already! ANDDDDD... there's gonna be a seafood dinner on Sunday night! Yum... !
ON the exercise front however, things are not going so great. Pigged out toooooo much over the CNY period, stuffing my face with cookies, sugared drinks but SURPRISINGLY... no booze! Showing up on the tummy... YIKES! But have been a saint enough to reject all lunch offers and head to the gym every afternoon. BUT boy does my body tell me when it is 'angry' with me... Runs have been horrible... only 4.8clicks for 30mins... that's only at about 9.5km/hr... Sh*t! Weight training is back down too, with the arms aching and the reps poor! Guess its payback time! Hehehe...
Well... gonna knock off soon, and will be back with more barbs when I feel riled enough!

Cancelled
Well, well... what do you know... the presentation that I have been working towards has been canned! Guess the ominous signs were already there.... ah well never mind, guess all the hard work will not go to waste as the presentation has to be done anyway, and ultimately what I have done now will be good to go for the next round.
Am moving on to another project (surprised?)???
Today's workout was different, no chance to run as it was full house. But never mind, worked out on the weights! Trying to fill up in time for CNY and see the jaws drop... Am I working towards vanity? No lah- just that vanity is the by-product of working out- since i am already trying to get the bod- no harm in just 'showing' (ahem) it off. Am I simply rationalising? You decide... hahaha..
Looking forward to meeting up with the guys from the previous place I work for tomorrow evening. This will be welcomed company and interesting repartee. They have never failed to deliver. Just one more day to go before it happens.
Saturday is another pig-out day... buffet at hotel for the reunion dinner. Phoawww... the years just keeps coming... scary man... ok better get back to work before the big-boss lady gets out the whip (and I mean work!)

Chomp Chomp
Hmm...
Felt good yesterday doing 6km in 30mins... to good till I gave myself a (undeserved?) treat by going for lunch instead of going back to the gym. Nevertheless, had a good time with friends... I always maintain its not the meal but the company during meals that is more crucial.
Anyway, I am going to skip dinner today. Still feeling too much from lunch. So hopefully balances up the caloric intake and give the tummy a rest.
Too much meetings at work today, but much has been done- I am feeling good. Consequently, I will have to work tonight after the family goes to bed... sigh... that's life in Singapore anyway, work work work work...

Hahah...
Almost forgot I got a blog.. until someone by the name of Juicy Fruit from Richmond, Virgnia emailed me! Hiya Juicy Fruit... glad to make your acquaintance y'all!
Well, another year, another set of resolutions. This one I'm definitely gonna make! I am 7kgs (14lbs) away from my target BMI and nu'fing is gonna stop me now! I have lost, overall, at least 25kgs since I started more than a year ago! Yeay!
It has done my tons (pun fully intended) of good and I am feeling it!

Update update
Hmm.. just came back from leave and bang straight into the CNY thingy. Must say that all the kiddos are all out of whack... all 'siam-ing' lessons!
Also ate too much over the weekend with the buffet at the birthday party and stuff! Not going to be easy trying to swim off the stuffing... but at least I am beginning to feel uneasy about it. Which is really a good development considering that I am developing a sense of guilt over stuffing my face. That never used to happen in the past... so one up I guess.
Anyway, there's not much happening in the office as everyone winds down a little bit, but honestly speaking, there's no spirit here as it happens smack in the middle of the week.
Not looking forward to it too, as the usual suspects and schedule, not much difference anyway. Sometimes I wonder what is the point in going through all the procedures....

I'm in 'business'
Ok... finally made it into the 21st century with this blog!
Been hearing aboutl blogs for the longest time ever and never ever had enough time (plain excuses?) to go do something about it. But now... finally... yes... I'm in.
This will be an occasional series of posts whenever 2 things happen, one I got the time and two, I got an issue to get off my chest...
Now now, I have no issues, just technical issues to grapple with as I slog (not blog) my way through the GUI and familiarize myself with the way things are done (differently) in blogspot.
Hmm... maybe I am new, or slow, or both, but I seem to find it difficult to add pictures (through Hello) to my blog.
I am also experimenting with this to see how it can add value to my teaching. Yeah, I pay my bills through 'messing' around with young people's minds...
Anyone who wants their heads and whatever they have inside it messed up can look for me!
Ok.. still fooling around with Blogger's myraid of options and functions. Will be back soon. Fingers crossed and don't hold your breath.
