A Quick Update - Another Thrashing - Season 1 Deja Vu?

Haiz. Lost to ICAP 13-3. Funnily its the first time we lost to them, so I assume they were playing with a vengence. Last season we beat them once and drew another. Kinda sucked because it all seemed like we were playing pretty well and at a level much above last season. Oh well...

My wedding photoshoot came and went. Was really tedious and I did want to blog about it being even tougher than the wedding gown fitting. I guess I was too tired after the shoot to even blog about it. Haha. I do vividly recall myself being upset by evening time because it was so bloody hot and the toopid photographer was still trying to force us to smile in the setting sun! So don't be surprised by pictures with forced-smiles by me! I'm happy though...happy that its over! Haha...

Somehow feeling abit lost lately. Maybe I'm in need of a holiday, maybe I've been worrying too much about things I know not of what, maybe I'm spending too much time in office. I really dunno. Need help.

The Singapore Song By Rony Tan

This is that Singapore song. Quite nice actually. Take a listen.

First Win Of The Season!

A 7-2 thrashing over Johnson & Johnson is just what we needed to start our Corporate Futsal League Season 2!!!

Whoot!

Ok, so I haven't been updating my blog for awhile.

Wedding photoshoot tomorrow! Excited!

No 5 Emerald Hill

Celebrated Alex's birthday last night at No 5 Emerald Hill. Its a nice little pub on Emerald Hill beside Ice Cold Beer, tucked nicely up a hill behind CentrePoint. Great place to chill (and get drunk).

Prior to that we had an awesome Chinese dinner (possibly my most expensive ever!) at Lei Gardens. First time I had lobster sashimi for starters with a lobster the length of my computer keyboard. Abalone, Peking Duck, Steamed Garoupa, you name it, we ordered it. Topped it up with more champagne and beer.

I also bought my first sex toy! Eugene and I thought it'd be a great idea to buy him a blow-up doll so we went to that House of Condoms place at Lucky Plaza. Expensive, but really cool! With 3 penetrable holes! If I could afford it I would've bought the glow in the dark version though! I think Alex is possibly using it right now...

The few of us shared a bottle of vodka (Smirnoff) while Eugene and I offed him with his first Waterfall in Singapore. I think he was pretty smashed at the end.

And the night before Eugene, J, Youlong and myself were checking out Thumper on their Ladies night which turned out lousy because it rained. We had chanced upon the place the previous Friday after the company bowling event. Even still, we managed to consume a bottle and a half of Martell while drunkedly serenaded by a youthful-looking John Molina and band.

My birthday on Monday came and went pretty normally, though I surprised to have received so many birthday greetings (you guys remembered?!). Really very much appreciated. I assume putting your birthday down on Friendster and Facebook helps.

Dinner was with the wifey at Ang Mo Kio Mcdonalds. Haha. Somehow it was a simple and enjoyable experience given the series of events that led up to it.

Next week is the Summer party! In Bintan!

Good luck to me!!!!

Thanks For Last Night, Guys!

Sorry I haven't been blogging for such a long time.

Last night was one spectacular night. We had our corporate bowling function, where the boyz helped celebrate my birthday as well, and then we went opposite to Thumper to drink ourselves silly.

The bowling event became a drinking game between Tony, A and myself. If one of us striked or spared then the other two would drink a third of a can of beer. If we didn't, then we'd have to drink a third of a can of beer ourselves. Knocked ourselves pretty high in two games.

Then J bought a cake for me and YL was on the speaker asking the whole company to sing me a birthday song hahaha. Was real funny. I'm not sure if anyone expected that.

Afterthat we still adjorned to Thumper to kill ourselves. I think we ordered 2 bottles of Martell just to get us a nice seat in the house. Then while half of the guys were searching for a seat at the liveband area, four of us (J, Tony, Brandon and me) sneakily finished up one bottle of Martell by ourselves in 20mins!!!!!

Right upon finishing that I went outside to puke my guts out by the drain. It was abit of a blur but I thoroughly remember on my re-entry the door-bitch allowed me to cut the queue to ask me "Were you that guy puking just now?" I just said yes and she let the whole lot of us back in!!! Hahaha...

Then it was back to the liveband area where we sang and drank somemore until we finally dragged ourselves home.

Was trully an enjoyable night. I love you guys. Thanks for everything. Memories are made of this.

I'm still drunk right now as I type...and the wifey is complaining that I reek of alcohol and puke...

I'm Tired Part Deux

Really I am.

So much so that I'm too lazy to blog about anything.

Don't worry I'll be ok. In a bit.

I'm Tired

ComicCon came and went. Loved it. It was so crowded with geeks and I had an enjoyable time watching all that cosplay. Weren't many hot chicks though. Wonder why.

Been quite tired lately. Havent been receiving the best of news over the last few days.

First this thing happened which was initially disappointing and then ended up pretty okay though it cost a bomb to solve.

Then another batch of news meant counseling work and abit of a situation to handle.

And amidst it all is the uncertainty of yet something else.

The wifey's also working really late these days, sometimes past midnight even. Haiz, so tough on her.

Really looking forward to the trip this weekend. I think I need the break quite badly.

No Internet Connection At Home

No internet connection at home for the whole week. Need to spend some time calling Starhub to diagnose the stupid problem.

Drinking in office again today. I think I'm quite high.

Lost 5-13 to eWatersolutions last night. Got raped yet again. Got a huge gash on my elbow from a horrid tackle. Thankfully its nicely plastered.

Been a busy week of bad news. And there's more shite to handle in the coming weeks. My job sucks.

And there's no more aircon in office.

Fuck.

I Can't Believe Holland Got Dumped

I just can't.

1-3 by Russia? Wow.

The third runners-up to upset a top seed in as many games.

I've lost interest in Euro 2008 as of last night.

Welcome to the beauty of football.

You Can't Please Everyone So You've Gotta Please Yourself

As usual, we lost again. To the league leaders Barclays. 1-6 was the score. But we had 10 players all ready to play today and the problem, for the first time, was allocating enough playing time for everyone. In a 5-a-side futsal game that lasts only 40 minutes and 1 slot being taken by the goalkeeper, there're only 40 miserable minutes to keep 9 other players happy. Haiz.

Really not sure if we should even contemplate staying on in the league next season. We'd have been relegated by now if there were a 2nd tier. How difficult, the conflict between trying to win games and to give everyone ample playing time.
____________________________________________________________________

On a sadder note, I've had to let someone go today from my team and it is not a good feeling at all. Not especially when we've been together since we joined the company. It sure sounds harsh, but some things have to be done out of obvious necessity and corporate survival and so we must yield.

I will miss you. And I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

Catch up soon.
