Accounting

I didn't puke on the accountant.

But I do have big dark eyerings.

Let's get this clear.
I got C+ for Financial Accounting
B- for Managerial Accounting.

So why am I doing my company's accounting???

Because everyone else here is an engineer.
Bad results >> Never take before

Later, folks

First and foremost,

DO NOT puke on the company accountant
(who's the main reason why you crawled up after 2.5hr of sleep with your hair still damp and feeling like crap, still trembling from the cold and excessive alcohol.)

I'd appreciate no comments on last night/this morning till I've puked. thank you.

[edit]
dammit lar. I'm still not sober yet.
GST I HATE YOU.

[edit edit]

wth. My jaw just emitted a really loud crack while I tried to bite my sandwich (i'm trying to keep the puke down by pushing more food in. don't ask me why)

I think I broke my jaw. hee haw.

someone's very bored this morning, posting so many entries

this just in from my Brisbane colleagues. what good timing.

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink

I feel shame Then I look into the glass and think

about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes

and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out

of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say

to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their

dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin,

of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm.

Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo

can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when

the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones

at the back that are killed first This natural selection is

good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the

regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the

slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we

know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Key Elements

Went for the Lunchtime concert at the Esplanade today to listen to Jazz from the Movies, by Key Elements

They're another acapella group, much older this time.

They really proved that good arrangement and a solid bass note are key requirements for making the acapella performance great =)

Route 66, Rainbow Connections, 'S Wonderful, Accentuate the Positive, Fly Me to the Moon
I'm sure there were one or two more songs, but i can't quite remember them anymore =)

six songs or so set...Well, i guess there're only so many songs to sing in a 1/2hr set =)

In other news:
Welcome back, dajie.
It's refreshing having the old you back, after how that @!*#!@*) girl messed with your mind (this is not to say you are absolved from the blame of allowing your mind to be messed with like that, and pampering her until she steps all over you and twirls you around her middle finger and... i should stop here)

I missed the old you, dajie. I'm glad you're back =)

Lao Langs and horoscope

Here is your horoscope
for Monday, July 25:

Your partner will assume the number one slot on your top ten list now. While they'll be ecstatic at the attention, the truth is that you'll love lavishing it on them almost as much.

WHO WANTS MY ATTENTION???

NOT WHEN i'm a GRUMPY old FART

Lao Langs @ the Esplanade (or as dajie calls it, the Esplanut) last night.

background:
- made up of 3 girls 5 guys
- Acapella group
- used to be from KR Hall

opinion:
- melodies not tight enough - much zao sia
- harmonies very off at certain points
- very bad Chinese pronunciation. then again, very bad English pronunciation too. I dunno where they stand
- could do with more than one person doing majority of percussion beats - must be really tiring
- could do with a LOT more bass, to give it a more tingly and warm feeling
- best song = final song = rainbow connection = but spoilt by the ending note where the harmony was not brought out
- women's voices were not strong enough
- ZERO mic control. Like my companion said, everytime someone came to the front to sing solo, they seemed to always back towards their group, seemingly shy of the attention. In addition to this, the big group didn't seem to realise that they were drowning out every solo singer by singing so loudly into their mics. I believe by right harmony shouldn't be louder than melody, yes?

In other news:

I've slept a grand total of one hour this morning. Yes, only one freaking hour. see how i survive.
I'm damn grumpy because of that
CORS bidding is not going well - HOW TO BID FOR 4 MODULES WITH 763 POINTS????
WTF? I've FINISHED all 14 FOUNDATION MODULES. what is WRONG with you ppl. WHY AREN'T YOU ALLOWING ME TO BID FOR BSP3001???
blinkmummy's tv date was my jjc choir tee'cher.

I AM VERY GRUMPY TODAY.
DO NOT CROSS MY PATH IF NOT I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREDS.

And yes, the very bad grammar and English in this entry is cos of my sleepiness.

frontin'

Who do I seem to you?
Who do I seem to me?

My mother thinks I'm a single cheery little girl who doesn't let the world get her down often.
My father thinks I'm his little princess still, and up to recent years, held my hand when I crossed the road with him,
My brother probably thinks I'm some childish moron who likes to tail him and emulate him. And sponge off him.

Me?
I just think I'm a person who likes fun alot. I like fun because it provides me reprieve from this world. Every single day. Just looking at people's faces, etched with frowns and hatred - that alone can get me down.

That's why I love my family and friends. Because they are the people who define me, by allowing me to have my imaginary shelter from the world.

You hit my loved ones, you hit me.
Don't you forget that.

The fine line between love and hate never ceases to amaze me.
Have you loved a person, then hated him because he was gone?
Or have you hated a person's behaviour, only realise you loved her?

For me, the biggest thing I've lost that I can't get back is innocence.

These past few weeks, I've found it almost impossible to sleep on the bus on my way to work. With eyes wide open, my mind remains shut throughout most of the journey, until the bus I'm on passes SGH, just before it reaches Outram MRT station.

At the very front of this side of SGH resides the HSA Centre for Forensic Medicine, the same building which houses the SGH morgue.

The same place Alf was in 3 months, 1 week and 2 days ago.

Every morning without fail, this building jolts me awake.
There are always people there - policemen, medical personnel, people at the counter signing papers, people leaning over railings, sometimes with their heads buried in their hands.
Staff aside, the people are always in the solemn colours of mourning.

Even from across the road, in the relatively safe confines of my boxed-up moving bus, I can feel the air of hopelessness, and the surrender of these people, permeating my surroundings.

It makes me sick, to be honest.

I don't know how his family is anymore. I've stopped emailing his sister. I don't know how they are.

I didn't choose to be sensitive to these things.
Maybe I am as they say, too much time and living in too much luxury, so you care about other people's lives.
What would I be if I numbed myself to pain?
Would I be numb to joy as well?

I miss you making fun of me. I miss training with you.
Quite basically, my friend, the fond memories survive.
I can't imagine how the rest feel.
Wherever you are, I hope you can only feel happiness, no pain =)
And hopefully, u're swooshing somewhere down the road on your stylo-mylo bike =)

Sting - Fragile

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

Lest we forgot how fragile we are =)
