Food Poisoning!

Yes! I was food poisoned! (If ever there was such a phrase). I was down on Monday lunch after a tasty (but somehow tasted not right right when I think about it) meal of Mee Siam from a certain store in International Plaza run by two aunties. This is not the first time I had taken their Mee Siam, in fact, I think that it tastes quite nice and the great irorny is that my manager ate Mee Siam for lunch from there as well but she did not suffer from any ill effects at all. I have a theory that is was because she ate there and I asked her to 'ta pao' back and I was super 'sway' (unlucky) to get 'infected'.

The good part about this is that I got 2 days MC which I used most efficiently - sleeping, not eating much, going to the loo at least 15 times in one day and mostly groaning in pain on my bed if I wasn't alseep. It was one bad food poisoning indeed. But hey, I only work 3 days this week so I had a 'shorter' work week (with more compressed workload)...heh...

It's a Friday and I am OTing! Woohoo! But it's okie...going home soon in a cab proudly paid by my company to all hardworking employees like me who stay back to blog...errr...I mean to work. Yippee!

Joke Of The Day

Today's entry is a joke about working life...

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants more than 100%.
How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful.
What makes life 100%?
If

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then,
H A R D W O R K
8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98%

K N O W L E D G E
11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96%

But,
A T T I T U D E
1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100%
And,
B.S. = 103%

SO, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, attitude will get you there, but B.S. will put you over the top.

Now you all know...shhhhhh!! Don't tell anyone but your boss is really an idiot. Hehehe.... hope this brings a smile to your face today. Catch you all laterz! =0)

Happy National Day Singapore!

Happy National Day Singapore!! I'm sooo happy that's it's National Day today! In fact, I have waited so long for this day. Heh... in case you get mistaken, I am no ultra patriot, just a simple guy wanting to enjoy his public holiday off work. ;=) But I do love my country a lot, its the system and certain people in side it that sometimes pisses me off sometimes. And the weather, one may have have grown up in it but still.... you know, it's like a big aircon out there in the world that somehow got turned around, the front facing Australia and the vent facing Southeast Asia. Geography made simple for you.

I haven't been blogging much lately due to work. Lots of things to do which I am reminded I have some stuff that I should be completing before work starts tomorrow. Which comes to mind if I should be continuing in my work come 26 August. Even if they offer me a perm position, should I take it? Or perhaps I should just resign and do something else more 'suited' for my 'talents'/interests? You know what they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. And yet, one must always take note that the grass on the other side will most probably have its own set of different 'insecti-cidle' problems as well. So one cannot simply 'escape' by changing jobs and in worst case scenarios, it could be worse, think bad collegues, bad environment and perhaps even worst financial benefits. Decisions, decisions, talk about having to make tough choices in your life. This part of life is seemingly so lost, don't you think? So many decisions to make and so little guidance at times.

"My God, my God, wherefore art thou? Why has thou forsaken me? I do not hear thee voice and I cannot see the thy will in my life. Where do I go from here and what have you prepared for me in my coming days? I cannot see past beyond today and my heart is heavy with burden. I do not know what to do in my life. Please lead me and guide me O Lord I pray. This life of mine is not mine. I have nothing else to offer but it. Take it Lord and make me whole. Amen."
