Siemens sucks

I washed my 3 months old Siemens phone with running tap water today. It die. Boy, was I surprised. Life is full of something new. So I guess its time to get a new phone. Sadly I lose a few phone numbers too. Oh well.

aikido, again?

Being to 2 aikido gathering, one is for euguen farewell, the other is to celebrate nyp new year. Heck. Looks like its time to carry-on training. Signed up for tanglin classes. Hopefully I can make it down more often.

A trip to Sungei Buloh

Went to sungei buloh on a volunteer trip with VSA today. Reminds me of the jungle in my NS days. Saw a pair of otter! They are very uncommon, so i feel sooo...lucky.

Positive thoughts

Ok, so my blog have been sounding really negative lately. But hey, i'm a whimer. It's sort of a way to relieve the pent-up pressure. And boy, do we all have a lot stress these days.

So lets talk about things that make me glad.

I have tons of friends who don't mind me been the idiot I'm. A healthy body. A (fairly) nice family. A stable(because we are already short of manpower) if busy, and enriching job. My insurance paid up. I enjoy dhamma talks, funny movies, swimming, aikido(whenever i can make it), animation on kids and arts centra, yoga(i have been like what, twice?).
I'm going to attend our annual dinner & dance, going to take part in another VSA volunteer activity, going to meet those wonderful kids and teens (who, sometime, test the very limit of my patient), taking part in a swimming clinic, harry potter coming soon(on my birthday!), learing to make more ballon sculpting, going to thailand in nov, and no doubt many other activities to come.

Well, so let's not let 2 bad bricks spoilt our view of the entire wall.

p/s
Heard this quote from a friend, how these it goes?..."Do not feel sad because the sun is setting, it means the stars will be out soon."

This is BullShit!!!

Work sucks! Everyone is feeling so stress out that we are ALL falling sick. Worse, people are feeling guilty taking MC, so we work even though we are sick. More work and task are added to us everyday, not enough manpower, lack of support from management.
Suppose to be on a really interesting course, but because of work, i had to skip all the fun part. I'm not feeling happy about this. Feel like failing the course to go for it again.
