Learned a few new dance move from Takuya Kimura in his Gatsby commercial video. (In my opinion, a bit feminine) I simply loved the catchy tune used, it is taken from the song : The Stylistics and SMAP - Can't Give You Anything

Golden Miles Hawkers Stall
From June onwards, my company will be at Alexandra Technopark. I will miss the good food at Golden Mile Hawker Stall, it is located opposite Golden Mile Shopping Complex and houses the best hawkers food in Singapore. Testimonial to the good food is found in the numerous awards each stall displays proudly.
On the ground floor:
The stall I tried on my first day of work. Note the numerous awards and newspapers article on it. I had to wait 30 min for my food. In my opinion, it is nothing special.
The spicy spices is good along the nicely cooked chicken, served in wooden bowl. Recommend!
On the upper floor:
The pasta is good! This one must try, order with additional ham flak. Yummy!!!
Cheap and nice, comes in yam, peanut, green tea and sesame flavor. To try when not particular hungry days.
The prawn mee cames in bowl of rich prawn brew, served with big cut of meat with big prawns.
Each plate of is covered with kaylan that blends well with the delicious kway teow. Must try!
Most economical stall, 2 veggie and 1 meat and a big serving of rice costs $2.30. Food is normal standard.

Yawning
It's not good that I keep yawning during work and almost fall asleep today. Being a bit tired does not help and plus the task I am doing is not firing up my interest. I was inspecting VB source code in preparation for a presentation tomorrow.
This is dangerous sign that my current job is not challenging me. I must quickly decides where I want to go for my career.

Charade
He acted it out, shot her a look and immediately, she shouted the correct answer. Like a perfect team, they successfully won another of charade. Princess have a natural talent of playing the game of Charade correctly.
Compared to me, I performed poorly in this game. How do you played out the following words
1) Bambi
2) Cinderellas stepsisters
arrggggghhhhh. :)
The occasion was dearest Princess's cell group BBQ which she invited me. Her cell mates are a bunch of friendly, sincere and caring people who make me feel at home.
In certain way, the sharing of satay, stingray and coke, make me reminiscing about the past. The familiar sequence of games, food and sharing bring back memories. Thinking back now, I realized it is due the human chemistry between the group and I did not work in the long run. It always started well but somehow in the long run it never worked out. I suspect it is maybe I was a poorer communicator then. And my empathy skills needs more improvement and growth.
A person will always favors and consult with the people who can understand and communicated better with him.
My experience is God works in a way that make the person understands better. And I wonder what His message to me this time.

Life + work
"I wish I can be like you, easily contended" said me to A.
"No lai, you should now take this time to find challenges in life
rather then work. Go find a girlfriend." Answered A.
"Ha ha, ya is right. I will be very busy then if I have a
girlfriend." We both laughed together when I said that.
I know happiness came from both life and work. I have not balanced
the happiness I get from life compared to work. So if my current work
is not challenging enough, I should either find/make more challenges
in life than work OR find more challenging work.
However, A do agreed that a non-challenging work does not create good
prospect for better career advancement.

Shots
So he spread his arm wide and sway joyfully left and right, obvious to all in his drunken state, and I mirrored him, enjoying the perfect symmetry we created even though the floor is jumping from the loud music as we played this game.
C burst out laughing and turn her head away to escape the silly scene in front of her. My dance partner is a unknown short pinyo who happens to be sitting next to us.
Tia and WnG sat at their seat, happily moving to the music, happily preparing the shots that somehow was agreed upon to enjoyed by all without my agreement. Down 2, Down 2, Down 1 and Down 2 is the sequence of shots I took over a span of 15 min.
30 min later, the music is not that loud anymore, not so sure if it was the loud music that blasted me to deafness or the effects of the shots.
Another 30 min later, my ear scream in pain to any loud sounds. I escaped to the silent outside and sat down to recover some form of sanity, praying time will burn away the effects, and to really try feeling my head is connected to my neck.
By the time I touches my bed, the effects of the shots was in full force and it bring me into deep slumber very quickly. Moments before sleep took over, I wonder and remember how silly I must be in croaking out my address to the taxis driver, and somehow able to reach my floor only after successfully pressing my floor button after a few tries.
ps: Trance music is not my taste!
pps: My quota of clubbing of the year is fulfilled!

Dancing Queen
It was a sight to behold. A side of E that I have not saw before and she was so very happy doing it.
It happened during her birthday celebration. Even thought she she tries hard to resist, but the constant barrage of bday toasts is too many for her to reject all. (Btw, she escaped my toast of a glass of martini champagne to her.)
And when Abba 'Dancing Queen' starts playing, she sway, play, whirl and joul her fav dance partners to dance with her. And screamed she is THE dancing queen.
ps: I was told after I drank the martini champagne that it should made me drunk. (I think I am the type that can get high and not drunk.) The only side-effects so far is rashes over my body in the next few days. hmmm... maybe I should get drunk on my birthday and danced the night away. :)
pps: The view at the top of Raffles city is really beautiful.

She is same age as me
"She is the same age as me" said me. ES immediately agreed that she is not capable. I am amazed that ES can pick up this signal from me so quickly and easily. It must be something in my tone and facial expression that allows her to read the meaning behind my words.
And this is a skill that I deem must pick up. The skill to read the meaning behind words is a very important. I believe it is easier for ladies to do this. :)

Different
It sure feels different, waking up on a early Sunday morning to run 10km. Up, down, around Mt Faber, pass my old primary school. And the sun only started really shinning bright and it not yet 12 noon when I had bathed, packed and completed the run.
It is a sight to see a crowd of old, young, middle aged runners climbing up Mt Faber and running around the estate. And it is inspiring to see fragile old man still pacing upward the hill when I had started walking to tackle it. Running is not just a physical activity but a mental one when the mind keep pushing and enduring every feet of the way, ignoring the pains in the legs that comes after running long distance.
On another note, even simple changes like alighting at a later bus stop and making a journey to the supermarket sure makes the day feel different. Breaking out of life daily rut sure make it feel more interesting and more accomplished.

Quotes
3 quotes that that strikes a chord within my heart as they came together and crystallize what I had observed about people and myself. Found 2 of them within a single article and the last from the movie Spiderman 3.
1) Winning doesn't teach, only losing does.
2) Eleanor Roosevelt once said No one can put you down without your permission.
3) Life is about choices.

Good person at heart
Boss needs to feel she is in control but the current work situation is more ambiguous than ever because the big boss have not really charted out his map in the terrain of his new direction.
Overall, I feel she is a boss who listens to her staff and help to work out their problems. She is a good person by heart. Maybe she will be a better boss by not flirting from idea to idea and not be too quick to make judgment. But who say bosses are prefect people who are able to handle all work problems and situation. It is my experience and from readings that higher bosses work in more ambiguous situation but yet must appear able in control and able to lead.
Therefore, time is required for us to find a work harmonious working relationship. Maybe I can make the relationship work better by remember she is learning along the way in this ambiguous situation.
