work work work...

Work work work. That is all I am involved in right now. Practically 12 to 15 hours daily am in the office fighting fires, calming oceans or just running around like a headless chicken. LOL. Sounds funny I know but not a life I would like to lead in the long term. Poor blog is getting neglected as well. :(

Sigh. Good news is we are finally live. No more transitional crap. Now just to focus on making the team meet their performance requirements. Its gonna be a steep hill to climb but as always we will prevail and get there.

Yaaawn. Damn feel so sleepy nowadays. Body is shouting for more shuteye. Just gotta down the Nescafes and move along. Guess before you know it things will be calm again. One thing to look forward to is when that time comes am gonna apply for a nice looooooooooong leave. :D

reflection on 2008...

Time sure flies doesn't it. Its already mid January of 2009. Had some spare time and was going through my resolutions for 2008 and realised I met most of them.

1. Lose weight (85kgs is too much, gotta knock of at least 5kgs!).
- Didn't really lose much but as of now I am 84kgs. LOL. So least 1kg right? Lowest I manage to drop to was 83kgs before I piled it back on during Deepavali. :(

2. Buy a house (I freakin' better get a house this year!).
- Another year goes by and I have yet to find a house. There were 2 ideal ones but only found out it was for sale after it was sold! Sigh.

3. Progress in my career (looking for more challenges & money of course).
- This part has really come true. Am now in charge of 2 major accounts and have gotten a decent increment to boot. :D

4. Work on Kate (am thinking of going turbo).
- Finally plopped a BOT on Kate. Am sure you guys have read about it here.

5. Go overseas with Sunshine (maybe Bali or Gold Coast).
- Didn't get to go overseas but least managed a few holidays. Guess at the way time is flying more than happy to even get a holiday in! :D

Thats like 3.5 outta 5. Not bad I must say. For this year I don't think I am gonna bother about resolutions. Time just doesn't permit it. Should just be happy in living life and progressing. No matter how slow that may be. ;)

jokes to lighten the mood...

Been working my ass off last couple of months and got this email. Really cracked me up. Amazing what kids can come up with. Enjoy...

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?

(1) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. - Alan, age 10
(2) No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marryGod decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

(1) Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.- Camille, age 10
(2) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. - Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

(1) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. - Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

(1) Both don't want any more kids.- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

(1) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)
(2) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.- Martin, age 10 (Who said boys do not have brains)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

(1) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. -Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

(1) When they're rich.- Pam, age 7 (I could not have said it better myself)
(2) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.- Curt, age 7 (Good Point)
(3) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.- Howard, age 8 (Who made that rule?)

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

(1) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out. - Theodore, age 8 (Too much detail for his age)
(2) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. - Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

(1) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?- Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favourite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

(1) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. - Ricky, age 10 ( The boy already understands)
