Masquerade

This particular entry revolves around my work .... more or less...

hmm.. Wonder if the below particular scenario sounds common to most people..
Someone met you on the street and call out to you, but the problem is... you can't attached a name to the face...

And the worst part is...., you don't seem to recognise the person at all!!
that happens to me, when in the lift to my workplace, a lady entered the same lift, called out to me and say "hi"
So , I say "hi!", naturally..

But the "processor" in my head kept on running at maximum speed, trying its very best to retrieve the "data" from the back of my brain... but it fails. =(
conversation continues with still a Big "??" hanging on top of my head.

Finally, the lift reached my floor, got out, and still trying to remember....
The best part is, 2 weeks later, this gal has joined the same company as me!
She came to my desk and say hi again...

"Oh My god....., Why I still couldn't remember her,.."

Wouldn't it be very rude if after so long, i suddenly pop the question, "err... sorry huh, but what is your name??"
Tried recalling from my Hall life, Coursemates, JC, Secondary..... Still no trace...!!
Now my only chance is to wait for the HR monthly e-mail announcing the new joiners name... Maybe by then, i can finally make out who she is....

"What if I stil can't identify her??!!""
I'm certain I had never suffered from amnesia before.... oh no..... This is bad.....Is that teh first sign of aging...?

shall slowly make out on that point./...

MasQuerade
The theme for my coy's DnD next week...
With my Private limited knowledge of English, all I can attached to the theme is 'MASK"!

So there i go, hunting for a MASK, a half-face mask to be precise at Spotlight.
and Conincidentally or not, the shelf was cleard of the particular ones i was looking for, and the service staff says someone bought all 98 of them off the shelf yesterday!!

hmmm.... no worries, I have reliable and resourceful contact persons for such things, and BINGO! Fiona directed me to Concourse and I'm so glad I make a trip there!
The Mask I found was CooL! Fabulous! Absolutely wonderful and apt for the Theme Masquerade!
TaDaaaa..........!!




And it only cost $2 made of hard matrials that i can just put it on without and strings attachment!

Shimmering GOLD! And they still have Shimmering Green! Almost wanted to get that too... Silver and shiny Carbon! Haa.. should encourage my team to use this as a theme! Cheap and simple , yet 'Elegant"! lol
One headache down....
Now... hmm... who is that gal...??

Back!

PEACE & CHeeeezzzzeeee...!!!.....!!!

Life's great so far, but a bit tad too fast.... it's already 2007!!!
i.e. Almost 27 le... **sigh**


After a 4 month departure from the blogging world, I'm Back again!!


hmm.. what inspired me to be back??
Thanks to Channel News Asia Blogtv.com, that reminded me of the existence of my onine diary...


4 months back, only just started with my new job... getting used to new environment, adjusting to new work timings, adjusting my biological clock, eating habits , etc....

Finally, things are settling down, and getting my life back in pace...

Already enjoying the luxury of longer sleeping hours, longer sunday nights, the absenceof morning bus crowds...
Henceforth, slowing down the pace of life during the weekdays...


After a (business) trip back from London, it inspires me to travel the world... (well, at least Asia).



First stopped was Taiwan in December, a 6 years departure from my last trip there..

Things there really changed alot... lost are the simplistic down-to-earth living lifestyle. Replaced by commercialized shopfronts, building.... Kinda feel it lost it's attraction of a simple, slow paced lifestyle...





Well,


Looking forward to a 2nd trip to Thailand this feb, exploring the places that i missed out on my previous trip last year...




Hope it's still as-good-as-it-gets! Not forgetting the notorious nightlife there!!
