QTSS 50th Dinner and Concert
Just yesterday, met up with my old classmates, kakis n seniors from QTSS... Oh ya, plus some of the teachers who have taught me during my 5 years in QTSS... Like my Sec5 Math teacher, Mrs L, bald PE teacher EL, Arts head S, Discipline master during my time, N... the rest i cant remembered as they are the new batch of teachers came in after we graduated... Aiyah, i thought that i can meet/catch old teachers... those who had ever made an impact in my life as a student there.... my POA teacher... Mdm H, A.C (my super fierce English teacher), Chemistry L ... not to mention my principal CSY.... Eh, must mentioned that "Bulldog".... very famous for her unreasonable, super unreasonable, and i got no words to describe her... she's so famous even from our time.
Actually just a couple of weeks ago, my best friend YH sms me whether i'm interested to go for this fund-raising as well celebrate our 50 year anniversary... Well, in the beginning, i wasnt too keen coz the ticket can blow a hole in my pocket.... so i was a bit hesitated but then after her hogging so many times, i gave in and went to the dinner yesterday.. Glad that i went, able to catch up with a old classmate, FY. it's so many years since we graduated from QTSS. Ya, because we (Me, YH and FY) were very early, and as a ex-QT student, super kiasu... after the history walk thru the goos old times gallery... we went to sit down at our table. Talked about old times, our teachers, gossiped abt some of our old frens from our military band... We had really good time, remembering the past, and brings lots of laughter in our conversation. Those were the Good Old Days... Guess we were from the same batch, ex-classmates during the lower sec until we split into our chosen class after that, same CCA (QTSS Military Band)... Oh, i met my senior from the band(we played e Eurphium), she graduated in year 1993... We shared the same table with our senior, graduated earlier than us by about 3-5 years.... and i met 7 new seniors that night... We said that one of these days, hopefully we can meet up and catch up. Hopefully, wont have to wait until 50 years later. Ever since we graduated, we dun really catch up with each... since most of them already have their own family... Oh ya, thought that taking wedding photo shots were quite unique, but my that fren even ask permission from the principal to take wedding shots in the school compound, how they knew each other in school.... and even the whole band was waiting for them to shoot together... but anyway, because they went back to school, then they got to know about this dinner and concert event and somemore they have to deal with that bulldog....
Our school band played 2 pc for this occasion 1)Seagate Overture by James Swearingan and 2) One Moment in Time by John Higgins. But though to the design of the restaurant and the band seating arrangement, we could not hear the whole pc played by the band.... It's been 8 years since we last wear our band uniform... Oops, the design of the unform changed until... it's has lost the "taste" liao.... Dinner starts late as usual.... and with the lucky draws and auction of our teacher, S painting... we finished about 11pm and plus dilly-dally...and... Oh yes, 3 of us got ourselves a 50 year old QTSS anniversary book.
Today, went to gym and CardioBlitz class... the instructor warn the 1st timer that this class is not suitable for beginners, but since i signed up... quite wasted if i dun tried it out even though the warning....eh, also tried out the steambath, finally after so many months of a "P package" member... the 20mins steaming myself quite shiok leh.... the class that i went super shiong ( with warnings b4 hand).... the dance steps so complicated and i was lost in the beginning... but it's a good workout, sweats buckets....
After that, i went to the MT1 later.... The M.T1 was a bit chiem... and we got practical at the end... i must be deaf man.... beta start tuning my ears to God more often, if not.... i wont be a effective m. for God. Wow, just amazed how God can speak to each one of us in so many ways.... Had a long day today.... Tmr, going to be a long day again... it's 3rd week of the month and it's our monthly gathering and some workout... hehe... =)

Middle of nowhere!!!!
In a middle of the week, middle... of ???, middle of my task n other stuffs.... aiyah... hopefully, wont get stucked in a middle for so long... Am trying hard to get unstucked at my uncompleted work and get on.... and take on new projects coming along. =) But most likely this "task" will drag for a while, and my boss is not happy about it. Hope my boss will get a hang of the work so that she will be more understandable towards this project.
4 of my coleks must be so "desperate" of having a break that all of the sudden, all of them decided to have a 3days2nights shopping spree in HKG early next month... Well, since they have work very hard for the last couple of months, they also deserved a break. on and off, i can hear them chit-chatting about the trips, brochure, travel insurance, the intinergy, which hotels to stay and stuffs like that....... Can always felt their excitement whenever they talked about it... Though our big boss still haven approved their leave, they already make plans to book the tour... Okay, their break will mean their work loads have to transfer to 3 coleks including me... Think the worst hit will be our AD, having to attend all the individual meetings since the QSs n AQSs wasnt around for 1 day...
Today just received a good news, or should i said bad news to me.... Finally, our staffs will also enjoy corporate rates for our handphone's plan... was just looking thru 1 of the company, rate are reasonably okay. since no comparison or so whatever... the hp also quite not bad, we were talking which phones to buy since quite up-to-date phones like recent 3G...

Frisbee... As usual every Sunday...
Today only 6 of us turn up for our Ultimate frisbee, number seems dwindling down a bit, but we shall not live by sight, by faith... =) Yeah, William (our head), Jerry, Derek, Benson, Qiuxiang and myself... Had a decent game, maybe too complacent... me, B n D start quite well, but finish also not bad, though our group struggled a bit during the game... maybe communication breakdown... a bit discouraging and disappointment... but we got up well after re-organised and pep talks...
Aiyah, for no good reasons, i wont found in a "____" without me realising it. =(
But never mind, i had involved as a assistant teacher at BSF children school and the experience i got it from there surely helps a bit... i will improved this time round, realising the mistakes i have commited during my 1st BSF experience... and i'm not going to repeat the mistakes again... Anyway, i'm still confused... am i still on standby? or already inside the lion's mouth already?
But quite excited... dun know y leh??? not that i love kids that much but i also dun dread them too.... but just that joy n excitement coming out from within... hehe.
Oh ya, i have learned something new today... learn how to make a simple "paper" flower... anyway, that kept me excited too... maybe next time, i can make and give as a gift/encouragement instead of just writting cards only... =) A new skill learned today.

Stream of Praise Concert.
Hmmm, yesterday their 1st concert was at PLMC... We planned to watch together as a cell today since we have also cell today... But the crowd were too much to squeeze into our "tiny" santuary and hence i missed the live worship of the SOP and also the fireworks.... aiyah...
hence we spend the whole evening playing "Cluedo" at JH's place.... Think we njoyed ourselves, cracking our heads to find out the murder???
Going off my office now.... am going to catch the SOP's worship early today... also wanna buy their newly launched CD...

Kala-Ok
Yesterday went out with usual clicks with the B.T. brothers and with some of my ex-coleks and her church friends whom i got to know them as well... Ya, we went out to a super "lop kok" karaoke at one of a CC near Bedok... think 90% of the songs were super old songs, which majority of the songs were before my generation... Can u imagine??? Like the super long time ago, where we have to key in the song lists (which we still doing now) esp this KTV has pp outside somewhere changing in the CD/LD for us... We have to wait for a while for the next song to appear on the screen... Insert the wrong songs/cancelling the songs (forget about the instant cencelling even though they have instructions on the wall, telling us which number to key)... but wait for the operator to cancel.... the songs may have finished... aiyah... But anyway, we got fun, listening to pp singing and realised that actually my singing's not too bad... and i sort of like my singing after all.... =) Oh, got to hear old n hokkien, canto songs as well...
Met a new friend too... also from my ex-colek's CG pp... and realised we are in the same industry... hoho, managed to 'thicken' my skin and download songs from X's hp... hmmm, he got really a lot recent chinese pop songs in his phone... just ask lor, anyway he's really a gentleman... so hence i got few songs in my phone now.... but due to the limitation of my phone, i managed to put into 4 songs... aiyah...actually, for a while i didnt really know chinese mkt, but the Kbox trips helps a lot, hear from pp's selectn of the most recent songs... Though i missed the "live" NDP broadcast this year but to able spend time with my ex-colek whom i seldom met up....
Yo, today catch a movie "Click"...was funny and touching story.... a reminder that sometimes we too "fast forward" our lives without us realising until a bit late.... Make full use and wisely of our short time on earth and prepare ourselves for eternity with our heavenly father.

Final Episode...
Many times, i just have to miss the final episode of the 9pm drama series coz of cell, this time, i finally catch the final episode of the drama which i have been catching up quite recently (It's love at 0C)... at first i thought... oh another TCS drama... can expect the same ending... aiyah.... at first i watch because there's no other variety so anyway got spare time, so i watch lor... but after watching for couple of episode, i find myself hooked to the storyline... In this drama, there's a guy called Weixiang who fell in love with this female lead SunYixin, but didnt have the courage to express his love to her while she fell in love with this character, Guo Bin... and Bin and WX are actually buddies in real life.... but Bin actually love Anna who is a rich gal and very self-centred... Beginning with both Anna and Bin set up a "ice" shop selling all kinds of ice varieties (e shop actually symbolised their love for each other), while Yixin likes Bin, but she didnt tell him, while offering her help in their shop and WX only "mo mo" beside her, encouraging her when she's down, helping her when she doesnt know anything... What kind of "triangle love" is this? Anna is a gal who's spolit and when she decided to leave Bin after some "misunderstanding and took away their "love" shop, YX was there to help him out and poor WX has no choice but to sercetly helping her... even to the extent of selling away his famous brand just to help YX get back the "ice" shop, without telling her... only to let out by his buddy and partner...Oh, cut the story short, thought she will choose to be Bin, but she chose WX after realising that over this period, she has unknowning fell in love with WX... Ending was quite drama when she rush down to the airport to find back her love. Was she looking for Bin or WX??? I was hoping she's looking for WX since he has done so much for her and he has been with her all the time be it bad or good times while where's Bin when she needed most help? When she "broadcast" of her heart to WX, i think it's e most touching part... nearly moved me to tears... when true love really comes, it's better to grab it rather than to regret it later!!! but then it boils down to heart or head?
Just back from M.O.S. with my sis, her bf and coleks and S.... Quite tiring and unfortunately unable to sleep now as i'm still having the effects of "coffee effects".... Taken some photos, prob will upload once S forward her pics to me asap.... hmmm... hopefully wont take ages!!!
Today, i for no good reasons have to face my boss "music" again.... i dun even know the reasons for her "outburst" at me... For goodness sake, i'm not a vending machine... a machine when u can throw tempers at when u want to get something... I was quite hurt by the words that came out from her mouth... and i just refused to get into a "war" with her so i just simply took all her flying "knives".... Oh gosh, she did that to me in front of all my coleks... but i will believe one day the truth will speak for itself... but dun know if i jump into "yellow river", will any1 believes me.... but I'm quite thankful... thankful that i'm still surviving in this team... though i must admit i got too many faults/weaknessess.... yet i'm trying to change too.... if only given another chance!!! Ya, after my boss "outburst" at me, 1 of the sqs actually ask me to help her clear her desk... hmmm, after all she's few months into her pregancy and she needs help to move the staffs... and all the unwanted staffs actually belongs to T2 and i'm too bz on hand to file and pack them into boxes... and finally today we packed them once and 4 all. After which i realised, she's also "BBQ" by our AD for passing him the wrong file... guess her table quite messy and she end up with the wrong file to our AD and our AD geena "grilled" and he sort of "BBQ" her... fortunately she didnt "BBQ" her AQS... i was quite apologetics for being slow in helping her to clear her desk and she also felt "paiseh" in asking me to help her clear her desk. Actually, i didnt talked to this SQS ever since she just join our team... but today we sort of chit-chat and know her a bit better loh... Actually i got to grow much closer to my team-mates this few weeks... "casual talking and sharing" during our working time... oops, less of productive time... but definitely wont lower my productivity either.... well, i dun know if next week i will be able to meet her deadline, if not... i will be @ my own "dead" line... i have exhausted all my means and ways to explain to her my reasons, just she's simply do not want to listen to me anymore... i wanted her to know the ground situations, if not she's would always expecting miracles from me which often i cannot produce... when she doesnt know the whole story, she will be blasting off her machine-guns again...
Oh ya, i'm quite sick talking to her... Seriously, really really too tired... Okay, that's enuff of my complaints... =P
