Heart BKK
I was reading Jingxy's blog post on her short trip to BKK.
It made me miss BKK more!
Like...
Power Authentic Tom Yum soup...
Cute trademark pink taxis....
A&W Root beer float!
Cheap and good quality tailored shirts...
Zipping through the incessantly-jammed streets on a tuk-tuk...
Hustle and bustle of Chinatown.
I need to go back!!!!!

7 stages of a relationship
Just watched this video. So true. 99% of the contents hit a resonance in me.
1) The meeting
2) The chase
– some say it’s the best part
"Everytime I saw her, butterflies."
3) The honeymoon
– time when we could finally, fully express our affection to each other and do all the things we wanted to do as a couple.
It was a dream come true. The girl I wanted to be with so, so badly, was finally mine.
4) Comfortable
– being comfortable isn’t truly bad, it's the time when we could truly be ourselves. It depends what you do with that comfort. Some use it positively, continueing to work at the relationship and grow it together. Others allow to create distance.
5) Tolerance
6) Downhill
– the effort to make it work isn’t worth anymore.
7) Breaking up
– this is when the two of us will lead a new path. Lead us right back to where we started – strangers. Change will be so drastic, so blunt.
"This stranger, was the most important person in my life. What a shame."
_____
The girl lead is so loveable/huggable/kissable/whatever. <3

Back in August 2010, I thought I wouldn't be visiting Batam anytime soon.
Looks like I spoke too soon!
_____
Sometimes I guess I want a pet.
Like a kitten/doggy.
It'd come up to me and weave itself in between my legs.
And I'll cuddle it =)
_____
Yesterday, the 'Club' celebrated another successful event!
The Pyjamas Affair! Haha, I admit I was the worst dressed. Anyhows, I wouldn't have imagined that I'd be playing orientation-styled games and forfeits again. 3 cheeers!

Corporate Lessons
Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Be...fore she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,… “Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbor,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?” Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Lesson 2
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish” “Me first! Me first!” says the administration clerk. “I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone. “OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.” Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Lesson 3
A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said,”Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest removed his hand. But,changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.” Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.” Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
Lesson 4
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?” The crow answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.
Lesson 5:
Power of Charisma A turkey was chatting with a bull “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.” “Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.” The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him. Moral of the story: 1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy 2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend 3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

I feel that if you, as the project head, can download your stuffs to an intern (who is by the way, thankfully, very diligent), so that you can sit behind him and surf blue-n-white pages, you ought to feel conscience-struck.
I feel that if you instruct me to edit the slides according to how you want to present them, why don't you do them by yourself? Saves alot of time, doesn't it?

1 Year in OT-tomotive.
Today marked the 1st year anniversary of joining OT-tomotive Services.
I vividly remember my 1st day. From my Mgr's talk to taking the bus out to AMK food centre for lunch to meeting a customer at Jalan Kayu after work.
1 year on, 1 year more experienced + 1 year's portfolio worth.
Btw, I left office at 9.30pm just now.

SkyPark
Oh ya. Almost forgot to put this down into words.
The lift took us to 57th floor in such a short while my ears needed more time to adjust to the pressure variation.
The moment I stepped out of the corridor onto the huge platform aka Skypark, it brought me back to NYC.
Empire State Building.
I'll be back.

The 'Club' is getting real spontaneous.
Events are being suggested and managed by active members. Our founding father commented, "I feel like I don't have to do anything to get it moving already." I agreed, "It's self sustainable!"
Hell yeah. From the first 'cream-of-the-crop' meet up to the first big scale BBQ, welcomed numerous events like KTV, board games, ice skating, movie events... now the discussion is leading on to overseas trips!
And haha, got 地下情 already! As soon as the 'Club' delivers 'graduates' they'll act as our ambassadors! LOL!
We're receiving rave reviews and generous feedback from our members. The USP about the 'Club' is that everyone participates with the mindset of making new friends and not matching making - that dissolves the innate social barrier and unnecessary holding backs. We just meet and have pure fun as a group.
As one member posted on her fb: "Suddenly my life is full of activities."
That post received many 'likes' from amongst members.
188 members and counting. Major celebration calls when it reaches 200!
______
Mt. Kinabalu 50% confirmed! Already paid for the climbing package for 8. Didn't expect such a huge group but the more the merrier oh yeah! The next 50% will come in when the air tickets have been booked.

I forgot why I logged in in the first place. Haha.
