Life Happens

"Home is a sacred place for sleeping. I will not desecrate its sacredness by working there"

Today as I was heading back to the office I just happened to come across five bucks just laying there on the ground. Without so much of a second thought, I picked it up, put in my wallet and forgot all about it.

After work while driving back, I suddenly remembered the five bucks I found. Then I remembered something that happened when I was at school a few ('few' is understating it) years back. Same situation, found ten bucks laying on the ground, looked around to see if anybody had dropped it, not seeing anyone, picked it up, put it in my wallet and then gave the ten bucks to charity.

What ever happened to that kid?

Deja Vu

"Three weeks into the new year and there has been three public holidays already. And I've been to work all three days... "

My firms annual dinner was last week.

Amazing. Great MC, delicious food, fun games, amazing gifts... it was absolutely perfect.

Last year.

I know the staff turnover is high in an audit firm, and for 85% of the people attending the dinner it'll be a new experience, but for the 15% that actually survived for more than one year, come on la, think of something new. We deserve something new.

I realise most of my post this year has been rants and complains, so this will be my last complaint post for the year.

Promise.

You can make lots of money....

"If each day had only 18hours, the office would be my home"

Go into accounting, he said.
You can make lots of money, he said.
Every type of company needs an accountant/auditor, he said.
You won't have any trouble finding a job, he said.

You forgot to mention the ungodly working hours and zero benefits.
Thank you very much.

Rant over. It's always nice to have a blog that no one reads, where you can rant and complain all you want.

Fun fact of the day:
"I found out that when I'm tired, I'm not nice".
If I just realised this today, does that mean I've never been tired before? If I've never felt tired before, does that mean I'm getting old?

Welcome 2011

"Welcome 2011, hope you'll be a good year! actually, anything better than 2010 will be a plus"

Haven't had the time to process the new year. Still writing the dates as 2010 instead of 2011.

This peak is really sumthing else... haven't had a weekend rest yet. Late nights like no other, guess thats what to expect now. But still, I'm damn tired, trying to do 4 jobs at once...

The best news is, the peakest of peaks hasn't even started yet...

Most 'interesting' futsal nite ever

"I should really finish up all my pending work, but the call of FIFA 11 is too great. We are 11 baybeh!"

This post is dedicated to my short friend with an even shorter fuse. In the five years plus that I've known him, here I'll list down the top three times he blew his top.

1. Yesterday while futsal. I can't say the guy didn't have it coming, but playing futsal after this will be a bit awkward.

2. One year ago. For accusing us of not paying for our drinks and refusing to listen to reason, you had it coming foreign worker waiter.

3. Two years ago. Again during futsal. A tournament too. The most memorable "I'm gonna give you a flying kick" threat ever. We did get second, so it was well worth it.

Thank you short freind, you sure as hell make hanging out all the more interesting. As per situation 2 and 3, I can't wait when we look back at situation 1 and tease the crap out of you.

Here's a pic of some dancers at a wedding to help cool you down.

I Don't Take Pictures, I Just Want To Buy A Camera

"If you look closely, you can see Mesonic symbols in everything. Conspiracy theorist thought me that"















Currently I have a thing for editing pictures in cold tone, ala ala CSI:New York.

I've been thinking... which sometimes is a good thing.

Sport players like Pele, Federer and Woods are blessed with sporting talents. No matter how many hours you put in in training, without talent you'll never achieved the heights of these sporting legends. You're either born with talent or you're not.
These players are paid millions to display these talents week in week out. So, what if sports like football, tennis or golf were never invented?

Cavemen. What's a caveman to do if he's blessed with sporting talent but no one was evolved enough to invent a sport for it and pay him millions? He may be able to juggle round objects, do a bicycle kick or smack a backhand like nobody's business but to his fellow caveman he's just acting the fool.

Back to the present. I have some pretty nifty skills up my sleeves. When people see them they think it's funny but utterly useless. What if these skills are worth millions 30 or 40 years from now? Maybe no sport has been invented yet for these so called 'useless' skills? Maybe if I was born in 30 or 40 years from now I would be a damn millionaire. So who'e laughing now?

Ponder that...

They'll say we'll be a crossover of Britney Spears and Katy Perry

"Private and Confidential"

If I ever form a rock band... this is so gonna be my album cover.

Introducing from left, bassist and backup vocals, "Murder" Murdoch McGee. No, he's not Irish, he only wishes he was. Center, Drummer extraordinare, "Skinny" Johnson and far right, Lead vocals, guitar and sometimes electric violin.... Me.

Our critically aclaimed band will be a cross between Katy Perry and Britney Spears. A mixture of crazy fun and all out mental crazy. Like I said, Katy and Britney.

I wonder sometimes, with my rock star good looks why I didn't ditch college to go on the road with my band.

Oh yeah, I forgot... I can't sing.

Unexpected Break

"When ever you're ready. I've been waiting for two weeks, It shouldn't take this long"

Got nothing really to type about. Been freakishly busy for the past couple of weeks. Im finally feeling like I'm actually earning my pay for once. This isn't a good sign, more responsibility usually means extended working hours without any benefits. Ah well, it was bound to start someday.
Today, I got a lucky break from my current job. Got called off to do some stock take. Didn't take that long and even got to use the camera. Actually this whole post is because I needed somewhere to upload them.

Here goes......

I went to a rock quarry. So there were lots of rocks. When i say lots, I mean LOTS!

~Adventureland~

"I'm not gonna finish this in three days let alone one. I don't know what you were thinking"

Yesterday, I finally got to watch Adventureland starring Kristen Steward. It was an okey film. Nicely paced and quiet enjoyable. I would have done Emily instead of Lisa P also, but that's besides the point.

There was this one scene where the guy (I think his name was James) was at a bar with Emily and they were talking about sex, but instead of saying sex he keeps on referring to 'it' as intercourse.

Why does that scene stand out? Well, it reminded me of a long time ago when I was still studying in college and every semester there would be sports played out between every different faculty. The different courses, Accounting, Business, Law and the likes will strut their stuff for honours to be the best faculty around.

Still not seeing the point? Well this might clear some things up. The games were most unsuitably called, "INTER-COURSE".

Yeah I know, I have no idea how nobody realised this each and every semester. For a place of higher learning where intellectuals are supposed to be shaped year in and year out, it wasn't a very smart name to choose. Stupid in fact.

What Happens After Too Much Booze

"It was way better than I expected it to be. After the ones i've been through for the past 7 years, well, anyother one would have been way better"

My Companys' Annual Dinner.
This is the scene at the relative beginning of the nite, everyone politely and nicely seated. Some light chatter between collegues and office mates. Talking about the year past;

And this my friends is what happens just after a few minutes the free flowing booze comes into the picture. I warn you, look at your own expense.

and yes, I assure you, that hot chick in the white dress is actually a dude. Freaky. I know. I'm still having nightmares.
