sleepy thursday

It has been a sleepy week thus far. After the long CNY weekend, it is a real bore to have to turn up for work. The worst part(or best part depending on which side of the fence you sit on) is that many of the traders and companies are still closed, so business is slow this week. That makes time pass by ever so slowly.

Being today Khimster is on urgent leave,I have the time to do my own stuff. But even then it is not much fun. Grr! Cannot win either way. Either have to do too much or having too little to do.

Met Agnes yesterday after work. After work I had headed down to IMM. I walked a bit and then bought some food from Long John Silver's. I then brought whatever it was I had bought to Agnes's place. We hung around there a bit doing some work and having our dinner.
Sent her home thereafter.

This gonna be one of those post about nothing in particular and where I go on a tangent, where no one really gets what I trying to say.

On Tuesday Agnes and I finally met up and we went to the Flower festival on Sentosa. It was ok. Nothing great. The worst part was all the crowds. Especially those inconsiderate aunties with their big umbrellas. They look like crap and still they carry around these umbrellas hoping that deadly sun rays do not penetrate upon their skin. The paths are rather narrow as it is, a situation made worse by all these umbrella totting aunties. We also managed to take some pictures at the nearby Lost Civilisations and Ruined City. Will post them as soon as I post them.

Stayed home most of Monday.

On Sunday went service and then dinner at Agne's place.

Saturday: reunion dinner at Agnes's place. Had steamboat in a rice cooker! I should seriously consider getting a real steamboat(or BBQ steamboat) for them next year.

Have to attend a service excellence thingy on 16th. Should be fun to be away from office. Only thing is I have no idea who else is attending. Dunno if have any kaki or not.

21st and 22nd have a defensive driving course at bukit batok. Going with Wong and Lyn. Should be fun. Sin only had good things to say about the course when he attended it.

Bought new bed sheets! Yippie. I love new bed sheets. One of my hobbies although not a hobby I cultivate much. Think one of those I got was in the form of chickens. The other had a tortoise/turtle motif. Not as childish-looking as one would think. But I have different taste than the general populace..

Added music to Love Divine site. It is 'Untitled' by Simple Plan. One of Agnes's favourite songs...

Also this site has undergone yet another makeover. Many of the links have been made 'picture-less' so the page loads faster. Also many new links have been added. Some dead links have also been updated .

Terrier + Bichon Frise = Terrierise: a dog you need to watch for violent behaviour

Doberman + Poodle = Doodle: a dog that’s easy to draw

Labrador Retriever + Curly Coated Retriever = Lab Coat Retriever: the favourite of Biopolis research scientists

Terrier + Bulldog = Terribull: not a very nice dog

Pekinese + Bulldog = Peekabull: a dog that likes to play hide and seek

Cocker Spaniel + Doberman + Poodle = Cockadoodle: a dog that can be a bit chicken

Spitz + Chow Chow = Spitz-Chow: a dog that throws up a lot

Collie + Malamute = Commute: a dog that travels to work every day

Weimaraner + Neapolitan Mastiff + Poodle = Wei-Nea the Poo: the puppy who likes hunny in his tummy

Bull Terrier + Shih-tzu = Uh, never mind....

Chihuahua + Basset Hound + Irish Setter = Eh! This is a family website, ok!

Chow Chow + Chihuahua + Basset Hound + Irish Setter = Oi! I said stop it!

Since I am doing this during office hours and using office computers, these are some things I should look out for(just in case)if my boss is keeping tabs on me:

Wherever you go you're followed by a potted plant in loafers.

The bracelet he gave you for Christmas blinks if you leave your work station/ cubicle.

Your name,"Leon." Next to your parking spot: "Reserved for the guy following Leon"

Your new secretary looks a lot like that chick from "Alias"

Instead of photos of wife and kids on his desk, he has a photo of you sleeping.

When you're alone in the men's room, a voice tells you to quit blocking the lens.

There seem to be a blinking red light inside the smoke detector.

The fax machine just coughed.
