hi all,
today feeling pretty down and disappointed. Ytd i realise i was not going to be promoted this year and today i realise my colleague was given the chance of being promoted.
How irony... and the main difference between me and her... she belong to " be good " catergory and because of that she got the support of my more senior colleague... and well, i guess i belong to the "be good at it" catergory which obviously lacks the popularity.
I was just being too naive i guess... it is not all about being good at what you do... it just about be good... that is all that matters... very sad to say this but when u are working people would only appreciate obedient staff... So sad to say...

My MAcau/Hong Kong (Part 2)
DAy 2 of MAcau started around 10am or so, there was still a slight drizzle so we bought a umbrella for HKD12 and also i forget to mention, 3 days before my Hong Kong , i actually sprain my ankle in soccer and so i was walking quite gingerly... haha...
Anyway we decided to cross the macau border in china, a place called Zhu Hai,which like a Singapore-Johore distance thingy. We ask on the bus to take and my gf noted them down but in the end we took the wrong bus, which was meant to go the st paul cathedral and not Zhu hai, when we realise our mistake we were 30 min into the ride, luckily , it bought us to quite near zhu hai and we change a bus and reach at the terminal
Near the immigration Center to Zhu Hai
We stay at Zhu hai for around 2 hours to 3 hours, had a terrible lunch before we headed back to macau as it was kind dangerous in Zhu Hai.
So when we were back to MAcau, we went to the St Paul CAthedral which was one the major place i wanted to go in MAcau, i think it is quite cool la...
Here it is, Beautiful St PauL
Girl Girl with St PauL
Beautiful DAy in Macau
After St PauL, being very cultural people MAcau De Musuem. Wahaha
Girl in front the Musuem sign
Me with one of the ornanment
Vintage European style house. Self taken shot. Wahaha
This is really not easy to carry... wahaha... another one of our self taken shot.
I personally quite like the musuem, spend a bit of time in it and we got to go up atop the museum and have a good view of the area. Will post some up tml to wrap up my 2 days in Macau...
To be continued....

My MAcau/Hong Kong (Part 1)
Hi all (if any),
Once again... long over due posting...
Was in Hong Kong/Macau between 18/6/2008 to 26/6/2008 with my gf... REally spend and shop like mad... so now very poor... haha... here are some pics.. Will be posting them in parts due to having taken so many many of them!!!
Departing From Changi Airport, we did a silly thing by staying overnight at the airport as we had a morning flight and we wanted to save on the cab fare.
On plane to Hong Kong, lovely sunrise taken from the plane. We would reach HK at around 10.25am and when we did we immediately bought ferry ticket and transit to Macau where we would be spending 2 nights of our 9 days holiday
Photo from inside the Ferry to Macau, after this shot, it was a bumpy ride all the way as the rain was pouring causing the waters to be choppy. Many people on board in particular woman, puke like mad... ecks...
Pictures from MAcau ferry terminal, apparently everyone started taking pics of this bridge so i just join in
We stay at the cheapest hotel that we could find in MAcau, and honestly it was not as bad as we thought considering it is the cheapest and it was just 5 min from the very expensive Venetian Macau hotel, so guess no location issue ba... Wahaha
After settling down in our hotel, we decided to go to venetian as it was the only place we could go without having to go under the rain.
The casino was really open concept where it blew open our tiny little wallet as well. : (
Lovely architecture. Fine details.. REally nice sia...
We had our dinner at the below, the food court in venetian, irony part was that it has a store that sell Singapore local food. So funny and apparently business was pretty good!
The Famous Gondola, not sure if i got the spelling right there... wahaha...
Had a good time at venetian, there was really a lot of shops although most of it would not be affordable for me but the surrounding and ambience was just really nice... REally like it. And that was day 1 of my traveling then... wahaha...back to the hotel i went after that..

Fall From Grace
The fall from grace is dramatic and sundden, how a human impression can work for and against you... Once i suppose to be well liked by my boss, the next i am not...
Think i am losing it, getting myself involved in battle for that level 3, taking it on the back of my head, letting it bother me. I have to stop before it gets over my head...
Honestly, I dont think i stand a chance and is kind of sick and tired of working in office, it seems worst than army, people above me have not guts, only have roads that go striaght and worry about their ass... For me, it is a simple task of following what they want, like a chef that has lost the right to cook what he wants but only follow the menu... What a sad life! I have that kind of life a high pay following clerk. That me

My Birthday - 25 MAy 2008 - 24 liao
24 liao... almost a quarter of a century gone... times files, really it does.. so much has changed, so much so that it is scary to look back...
so much has happen in the last 24 years, some good some bad, some blessing in disgust and some simply a disaster from the start... it amazing to look back, what i have personally acheive, some of the memories still so fresh like it happened yesterday.. got to admit i have become more naggy as well... haha...
anyway this year i celebrated my birthday on the island of batam, a last min decision of mine to just slack on the island, book up a room at holiday inn which i stayed during last yr new eve... so it was not so long ago i was there... went there with my gf and we really just slack and laze around, never really do much... never spend too much money as well...
we reach batam around indonesia time 11am and proceed to have lunch at batam centre mega mall... as our ferry stop at batam centre port rather that waterfront city which should have been the case but it was fully booked for the earlier slot so we seek the alternative of goin batam centre 1st then subquently after lunch and some shopping, we took at cab to holiday inn... by then it was around 1pm or so when we check into the hotel...
We got a free upgrade to deluxe room which me and my gf felt was not much of a difference from the normal room that we had the other time round... LOL.. still figuring out what is so deluxe about that room, but it was on 9th floor and that provided a very nice view from the balcony...
then we slack till 4 plus before we went down for a swim... slacking in the pool, then we went back up our room and prepare for our dinner, maggi mee! with 2 apples complimentary from the hotel and carrot juice we bought... wahaha... and that was my dinner...
thereafter at night we went for a spa at tea tree spa , shiok, this time round we had a coffee scrub then a herbal body masque and then javanese massage... relaxing and painful at times... wahaha... and sweet dreams thereafter...
then next day we pack up and that was it... our 2 days 1 night came to an end... back in SG... wahaha... and happy birthday to me !!!
