didnt work today and almost the whole sales team has to go down to expo to attend some 'motivational cum inspirational' talk by the 'world-famous' anthony robbins, stephen pierce and allan pease. given normal circumstances i wld be very happy if i didnt have to work but it was sucha torture keeping myself awake and fighting the hunger for most part of the seminar that i really thought i'd be better off at work. oh btw thankfully chummy was driving or it'd be sucha hassle travelling there!
the talk started off with allan pease, i think of all the 3 speakers he was the only one who made sense. analysed alot on human behaviour and such. pretty interesting. his part went on for abt 2hrs before we headed off for like a 20mins break. everything ard was so crowded we decided to stay put and luckily for me i rushed out in the morning to buy some rations to tide us over.
next up was anthony robbins himself. he's huge... as in like really bigggg sized. and he was so full of crap. dont understand y everyone felt so entertained. i felt awkward like as if we were in some cheesy church congregation. reminded me of the times when i used to patronise this church that alot of youths go to and 1 of the pastors ended up becoming a pop star.. *shudders* it wasnt too gd an experience for me. similarties between the two... 1) in church we'd always raise our hands and say 'hallelujah', in this seminar he made everyone raise they hands and say 'aye'. 2) in a charismatic church they always make u stand and sing along and wave ur hands ard frantically, in this seminar same lor keep makin us stand and jump and hop and wriggle to the music. 3) in church the pastor wld say the sinners' prayer and we'd repeat after him, in this seminar he made us chant some dumb verse after him over and over again, i thought they sounded like some cult! this guy spoke for abt 3.5hrs before we breaked for lunch. and again we didnt bother to go out to get anything cuz there were too many ppl ard. got AW to da bao nasi lemak from qiji. it was like the most satisfying nasi lemak i had ever had.
the last part came stephen pierce... this guy was the WORST of the 3. intolerably boring! he's like a multi-millionaire.. and so thats wad he says.. he was trying to like 'teach' us his methods to earn money over the internet. being an IT idiot if i cld close my ears im sure they'd auto fold inwards and juz not listen to him at all. gosh... he was so boring we left half way thru to go to the john little sale juz 2 halls away from us and i spent like $50+ buying toiletries and munchies. haha. we tahan until abt 6pm and by then more then a good half of the people had already left. and so this pierce guy started his sales pitch and, all askin ppl to buy his stuff. he was like selling a membership card for $9,887 and some package for $47,587!!!! thats ALOT of money dude... but im quite sure there muz have been crazy or ppl who r too rich who took them up. geeeeee... and so we left shortly after. whole day wasted juz like that. i left there, still uninspired/unmotivated/unimpressed.. or issit juz me?? i'll nv wanna go to such things again.. dun understd how come the rest of the people there seemed so enthusiastic and they all looked like they left as better people? hmmmms...
we left expo ard 630 and headed to bedok for 'bar chor mee' woooohooooo.. its been awhile since i last had that, if chummy didnt mention abt it i'd nv have thought of goin there. heh we had bar chor mee, carrot cake and chicken wings for dinner. YUMMY! i muz thank chummy for bringing me ard today and entertaining me during my most boring hour... hahahaaaaaaaaa

i cant believe i missed blogging abt last friday..
i was juz reading chummy's blog then realised that i totally missed out mentioning abt friday... haha. anyways we left work rather early considering i still had alot left to do. well there's always monday to complete it. i cant really be bothered anymore. met up with an ex-colleague whom its a pity i didnt get to work under her. the other chum's was supposed to come too but oh wells she cldnt make it. ah dot came along too. she's damn funny lo. she can be the script-writer, director and actress all at the same time. full of crap.
and so we were gossiping over our beers at paulaner's as usual. its like a weekly affair thingy. and all our gossip mainly revolved ard 1 person, she must've been sneezing her nose off. :x great way to chill out. chummy can we like do this every week, can u cheat taxidoor into signing a permanent agreement? heehee
moving on to today.. didnt do much. woke up and glued myself to the telly to catch up on the drama serial on forensic stuff cuz they rerun the whole wk's episodes on sundays. after that i glued myself to the computer. felt fat so decided to go for a jog.. i actually got down to doing it, cant believe it! went for an hr but out of that hr half the time i was walkin cuz i was so FRICKING breathless. best part all those ppl who walked past me and were smoking... wa lao i wanted to rob them off their cigs. but i supposed it was due to smoking which contributed to my breathlessness. i need to exercise MORE, smoke less and eventually QUIT and eat alot LESSER! im contemplating to take up a gym membership again but i dun want history to repeat itself. once upon a time i ever joined and paid them mthly subscription for a yr but within that yr i patronised them less than 10times. haha. if i dun go its a bloody waste of money. better think carefully... again it boils down to how determined i am in losing weight before i burst and die from obesity........ *tsk*

i shld think it was an eventful saturday?
made plans to meet up with her today. its been awhile. went for a massage.. it felt sooo good. after that we headed to lido for expensive japanese food. felt i had abit to spend becuz of the backpay increment. after that rushed over to taka to buy myself a new pair of trackies using the taka vchrs i had. not too bad la only had to top up $20 for a pair of reeboks. rushed back to lido to catch ratatouille. it was pretty good. i thought the rat looked cute?! but there were hell lotta kids in the cinema. every now and then some kid wld burst out crying... irritating.
after the movie had to once again rush to marina square for granny's 84th bday dinner, we parted ways at MS. it was good food again at some under-rated chinese restaurant. had some good wines too cuz my uncle brought them along. i didnt even know that restaurant existed.
after dinner, took a cab down to club street to meet her for drinks again. only to find that the place was infested with a whole big bunch of irritating ppl. had a jug of vodka ribena and decided to scoot off to somewhere else. ended up at balaclava cuz she wanted to go there. they have a very sucky variety of beer, even worse than wala's! they dun even have kilkenny or hoe by bottle! ended up drinkin 3 pints of carlsberg until i felt like puking. i dun really enjoy carlsberg. and the bill came up to quite abit! *tsk* didnt stay for long cuz they close at like 1. shared a cab back with her then broke down in the cab... *sighs* i dunno at times i really pity her but like wad can i do? and i dun even know if i wanna do anything or not. my life is pretty ok the way it is. yes, my job may suck or be stressful but at least its a decent job and he feeds me well enough. i may be single but its better to be stuck in a relationship im not really happy with or know ultimately its not gonna head anywhere. i have a couple of chummies and pals that i can count on for company. wad more can i complain? we shld all learn to be contented with wad we have... its a tall task but if we can see things in sucha way, life wld be so much nicer....

im upset..
it was a crappy day at work. TC is away on a sales trip again and she wun be back till 1 and a half wks later. its so torturous without her ard. i hate that ass and the hatred juz grows stronger as each day passes. he juz unknowingly started a war with me this morning. this is it! i think i've been as patient as i've ever been in my entire life, enough is enough.
i'll plot my strategies out and wage a war with him. like the chinese saying goes "bu shi ni si jiu shi wo wang!" --> which translates to "its either u die or i fail?"
im gonna pool all my contacts and resources together to make his life very difficult in time to come. ^&#$^$#%^$*(%^*(&*))$#$@$!

yet another day i gorged myself..
i think i've been eatin too much recently. been spending way too much money on food and alcohol. and to think im supposed to be saving up to go for a loooong trip to US next year. i really wanna go so bad. im even prepared to go alone if i cant find anyone to accompany me!
today we didnt feel like having lunch at the canteen so we headed to bab noodles for lunch. i had kimchi chicken soup with rice because i've been having craving for kimchi soup for the past 2 days. finally fulfilled the craving but i felt that my normal myojo kimchi instant noodles+egg tasted better than the one at bab. maybe cuz they added spring onions and sesame seed in it.. my 2 most disliked ingredients in it thats y i didnt really enjoy it. and then we had extra side orders of tempura prawns and grilled gyoza to share.
went back to the office and today muz have been one of the days i received the most group leads from all over. my email was flooded with enquiries for quotations from all the various TAs and every now and then i had ppl plonking corp leads into my in-tray. it was so overwhelming.
decided to leave behind all the work to leave work on the dot.. becuz chummy #2 arranged for us to have dinner with aL and cbfsl! haha. we headed to gluttons bay for dinner. found a table effortlessly which was pretty surprising. and then we started to go ard ordering our food. i muz have walked like 10time to and fro from the table to the stalls becuz it was self-service and there were 2 princesses sitting at the table refusing to budge! tsk tsk... so we had chicken wings, oyster omelette, char kway teow, fried hokkien mee, stingray and kangkong... it was wayyyy too much food for the 4 of us. amazingly we finished almost everything cept for the chicken wings cuz we forgot cbfsl cant eat chicken! had a great time cuz cbfsl as usual made us laugh so hard with her weird antics that i thought i was gonna puke. ended up with hiccups which got cured eventually cuz chums gave the suggestion that i shld take 7 sips continuously but like 3 sips into it she told me i was sippin too slowly so i took 1 big gulp and they started laughing. i was trying so hard to control not to burst out laughin so that i cld swallow the darn gulp that the hiccups went away.
made our way to the taxi stand after having a few puffs by the waterfront. the taxi queue was so long and i juz saw the 106 bus coming by and suggested to chums to take the bus home. luckily i had an extra ez link card... i think it muz've been a long long while since she last took a bus. it wld've been more enjoyable if we weren't already too tired from all the laughin... lol. overall a good day with all my fun pals. =)

my first ENT at GP
today i was unwillingly roped in for an ENT at GP with a group of japanese man from jalpak together with mr G, tc and mr pudge. in the beginning it was pretty awkward. didnt really know wad to say but the jap guy sitting next to me was pretty nice. he muz have realised i was feeling weird and started to talk crap with me. so while tc and mr g was talkin abt biz and current affairs that affected the tourism trade and hotel industry, there i was chattin abt nonsense with this jap guy. haha. while beats sitting there like an idiot... that was mr pudge.
so the food came... we conquered, some gave up the battle but the sole survivors amongst us was tc and 2 jap guys. it was wayyy too much food. i think next time tc suggests to go GP and tries to rope me in again i better stand by a very good excuse to get outta it. i almost cldn't stand up after that meal! felt so sick after that, like i needed a whole bottle of eno to help me push the food downwards inside me. nearer to the exit that is. haha
then came the time to bid our goodbyes.. and tc instructed me to go back to GP to sign the check. ehh y me?? typical example of me being sidekick.. well at least it was tc who instructed me and not the other powerless ass. the darn check came up to $630?! damn scary.. felt abit worried to sign it but i still went ahead to, like who cares it doesnt come out from my paycheck anyways. but thats like 1/3 of my salary man... and juz for lunch thats called pure insanity....
