Finally got the DVD from a colleague to watch TVB serial "Always Ready". Starring Bowie Lam, Ekin Cheng, Chermaine Sheh, it is a serial about the life of Govt Flying Service in Hong Kong. Whoo... I love this show. I like the little kid who acted as Bowie Lam's son. He is so adorable. On cable, everything is in mandarin, his voice has been dubbed with some lady's voice.
However, in the DVD, it is his real voice. OMG! I love him even more. I remembered in another TVB serial, he was Wen Zhaolun's son. I tot he resembled him more. ha.... I seldom see kids who can really act so well. More imporantly, he is cute lar. I dun mind having this kind of son. whahhahaha.....
Its my off day finally. I have been looking forward since monday. As usual, it has been a tiring week. Today isnt tat bad. At least i have some time to take a break. However, i did a voice training with my senior. Gosh, i was stressed. In order to do the best, there were lots of NG. grrr... Eventually, it wasnt tat bad but still room for improvement.
Cedric msn me. He told me he got his house in SK. YESH! Welcome boy! He is getting married with another friend of mine. Wah... Very nice hor. They bought an executive apartment at a price of more than 300k. I intend to visit him once his house is ready probably in April. All the best friend! This time, it will no longer be at Blk 48 NTU, it will be SK! I hope to see you ard!

CNY Goodies Coming
Thanks to CNY and some celebration, our office has been receiving lots of food and goodies. On Monday, we had curry chicken, a four season cake plus "Fei Cui" carrot cake. Beside that, we also had pineapple tarts and almond cookies. I was freaking full by dinner time. However, i still managed to gobble down the dinner i brought from home. ha...
Today, we had more goodies. There were love letters, potato chips, chocolates and even herbal cake. Wow. The herbal cake that came from Intercontinental Hotel was erm... not very nice. The cake taste very funny. I ate a small piece and it taste sweet and bitter. Wat a wierd combination the baker came up with. I heard it will increase male potency. Not sure if it is true or just a gimmick. ha....
A new colleague reported to work too. Well, i became his mentor for the day. STRESS! Showed him ard while i still need to work on my assignment. I almost couldnt finish my work on time. I was like peeing in my pants liao. ha.. The pressure became stronger when the deadline is almost up. Phew, i manage to finish on time, guess i am blessed. ha....
Went to the gym this morning before i head to work. It has been a very long time since i last went to the gym on a work day. I was kinda lazy to wake up earlier. hee. Well, i only visited the gym once last week, i promise myself to work harder this week. Vivocity PF is good. Not very crowded in the late morning. That means I can have a good time working out.
Was on msn with Kaz a few times. We discussed about job switching. I realised he is going thru the same phase that i went thru. Underpaid! I believe that got to do with the nature of the industry. In this industry that we worked in, pay always come second. If we want to earn big bucks, its either we switch field or do more moonlighting.
After trying so hard to change another job, i failed from to time. One of the reason being i was highly paid. That is so ridiculous! I am not highly paid at all. If i am, i wouldnt want to change job. From some feedback i got, I think these employers are being mean. They expect experienced workers like us to do a pay cut and at the same time produce high quality work.
Morale of the story: If you want to hire an experience staff, then be prepared to pay more. Dun tell me abt not having sufficient budget to match our pay. RIDICULOUS! At the end of the day, they will hire fresh graduates or better still hire pple who are willing to accept pay cut. Argh... I am so pissed lor. I have decided to take a short break before embarking on another round in search for greener pasture.

David Tao
I am craving for David Tao's singing tonight. When i reached home, i started looking for his album. Yep, the one he released abt seven years ago. I think that was his first album. I missed his songs greatly after radio played one of them recently. Well, i managed to dig his album out. It is still as good as new, with his signature and wishes. Yeah! He wrote
All the Best in Work and Health in 2000!
I switched on my long-time-never-turned-on hifi set quickly once i go online. Listening to his songs while i blog away. It is just so relaxed. I particularly like "Blue Moon" and "I Love You". It is so David. I enjoyed this kind of feeling. Totally relaxed after a hard day work. He is still one of the best singers today.
I remembered how i got his signature. He came to SR to promote his album. When i heard he was coming, i bought his album quickly. Though it's more than 7 years, i still remember he worn a cap and a pair of nice sneakers when he came to SR. Speaking of that, i really miss SR. I missed my fellow ex-colleagues. I wonder how are they doing. They are really nice nice pple.
It was hectic at work as usual. It is only day 2. I need to work for another 2 days before my off day. I shall endure. Then its 2 off days straight. YESH! I am SO looking forward to it!

Dragonfly
Finally embarked on my trip to St James most "happening" outlet Dragonfly. It is really like a big concert hall with drinks served and singers performing on stage. I am impressed by the songs they sang, from cantonese to mandarin. More importantly, it resemble the good old days of canto.
I must take my hats off for Mr Dennis Foo and Mr Andrew Ig. They are really my idols. To bring so many outlets under one roof is simply amazing. Dragonfly is like an enlarged version of Devils Bar on Sunday. Well, on sunday, Devils Bar plays Mandarin and Canto pop. Over at Dragonfly the venue is at least thrice bigger. There were not only singers but dancers too. Amazing. Well, the singers even have different sets of costume that i am extremely impressed.
Now, the negative part abt the place is the crowd. No doubt there were a few youngsters like us, most were in their 30s to 40s. The age group is different. I see many aunties and uncles. Really. They sang and partied with us. Very interesting sight. Some of them could be as old as my parents or their siblings.
Besides Dragonfly, Ken and i went over to Powerhouse. Ha... Very interesting. The theme for the night was Fabulous Sunday. There was even a sign that read "Private Function, Entry is subjected to Management Discretion". I was like erm.. Company hosting a party on Sunday Night??? Wrong. It was actually Boys Night. whahahaha... Clever idea from Andrew i guess. He probably want to warn homo phobic pple to go away in case they feel offended.
Since it was Boys Night, the name tells it all. Hot bodied male partying with their shirts off, revealing their cleverage. ha... I guess if they are straight, most girls will fall in love with them. As usual, i stood there motionless and laughed my head off. It was a very funny sight. hahaha.... However, i met a friend who really caught me by surprise. I shant reveal his identity, but i would say he is a prominent figure in my industry.
I wonder what make him turn this way. He was the kind of boy next door, down to earth type. I can tell u many girls like him. What happen? Anyway, the more happening part is here, we saw Jeff Wang. OMG! Rushing down after the live program from Superstar? My god. His kakis and buddies were there. hahaha....
Wat i said previously is true. The world do not revolve around you and me. There are many things that we have never come across. I am glad i have seen how the real world look like. Despite tight control over such issues, you will be surprise there are many gays and lesbians. As usual, I really pity their parents. However, nothing can be done.
On the whole, Dragonfly still impressed me a lot. Perfect place to chill out. I had more fun today than last night. Going to bed now. Its time to sleep and get ready for a new work week.

Random Tots
While waiting for my hair to dry, i have decided to pen down some tots over what happened just now. I was pretty excited to head down to my favourite haunt after a hard day work. There has been lots of work recently and sometimes i really feel the tension in my blood. When i reached, i was welcomed by several regulars. To my surprise, another group joined us.
As the permanent resident of the place, we always welcome new pple. However, I was shocked when i learnt about scandals among pple. I questioned myself how can one sustain a relationship yet going out with another? Am i outdated or being overly sensitive? To be honest, i cant bring myself to do it. I have been taught to be a man of integrity. I cannot accept these kind of behaviours.
True enough. Nightspots are always famous for all kind of pple. That is why i enjoy going cos it always brighten up my perspective abt life of other pple. Moreover, i have learnt to be tolerant and accept the negative points of others. I have also come to realise that we are not living in the world of our own. As a chinese proverb always say, the same kind of rice breed different species of pple. It's true.
Its a friend's birthday anyway. He was drunk by 2 am so much better than Kaz. However, he behaves quietly when he is drunk. Another female friend of mine got so high and started doing irrational stuff. So it is true drunkard tells the truth. There were lots of untold stories that i got to hear. ha... Well, i prefer not to hear abt it.
I was in a high mood when i reached. By the time i leave, i felt disgusted. Simply disappointed with some pple. It shouldnt be that way. I guess i think too much. Well, pple change as they grow up. The way they changed is just so unbelieveable. haiz... I shall join dearie in dreamland and not let my tots run wild.
Forgive me if i really think too much.

Amazing Race Asia
I was very thrilled last night when i saw the 2 girls in Amazing Race Asia won! Yipee! They did all the girls proud. But more importantly, they are the first all female team to won the Amazing Race. Cos in US version, no female team has ever won in the race. Winners are usually dominated by all male team.
Oh, another season of Amazing Race is coming up very soon in 2 weeks time. I am looking forward to it. This time, it will be all stars favourite. I guess Rob and Amber will be in the race. I hope Charla and team will be there too. It should be exciting. After watching 2 versions, US version still rocks. ha... However, the challenges in Amazing Race Asia are more tedious and tiring.
Back to work, oh well. I did something very proud today. Yesh! It has been a very long time since i broke a personal best. I did it AGAIN! I was squeezed till dry to come up with 6 stories. Wonderful! I almost had no time for dinner lor. Have to eat at my desk again. This is the second day in a row. Shall i call for a celebration?
I guess if there is better planning and time management, none of this would have happen. I was behaving like a mad man! Running ard, cursing, frantically looking for materials yet remaining cool at the same time. Ha... This is difficult. Very challenging. A friend msn me and said my job is exciting. I almost fainted, cos there are many times when my heart almost came out of my mouth. ha.... EXCITING.
Its SATURDAY again! Yep. The day that i have been looking fwd to. I have been working extremely hard this week. Too much work and longer working hours. Time for party liao. I need some drinks and music to cool off. Can someone ask Dbl O to play CNY songs? I will be very happy if the management does it.... haahhahahaha

Work Stress
OMG! The first month of 2007 is over. That's fast. It has been a hectic and busy month. Everyday was like fighting a war, too much work and before you know, the day is over. I wonder if this is good or bad. Last night when a colleague of mine send me home, he said something like this.
"The day has finally ended."
I was like yar... i AGREE. It's time to head home and rest. During the day, it was as usual rushing ard like nobody business. Then, blood pressure goes up, heart rate increases. By the end of the day, sometime i really feel like a deflated balloon. When i reached home, i like to chill out in my room, listen to songs or even stare blankly at TV. Dun wish to think abt any other stuff.
Was out with dearie this evening. She must have been overwhelmed with all her work. I told her Singaporeans are under severe work stress. U feel very "wu nai" but there's nothing much u can do. When problem occur, u scratch ur hair till they drop. If u manage to solve, it is still fine. But when it doesnt, haiz... pull more hair.
It's a long day tomolo. Going on course in the morning then continue to work. Tiring. It is going to be more then 12hours. ARgh... Have to endure another 3 days before my next off day. Nevermind. Wkend is coming up. I am so looking fwd already. I wish it was Saturday and time to relax. argh... Less work but more fun.....
