Phantom of Opera…

Great Show!! Till now, the scene keeps appearing in my mind.

Went to watch this play at Esplanade on sat after the UCP course. We had a quick lunch at Hoilday Inn – J*** told us, we had only 15mins for lunch as we are quite worried about the traffic conditions along the way.

Luckily for us, the road is clear and we reached there about 1.10pm when the show started at 2pm. Thou this is not the first time T**** is at the Esplanade but she had never been to the library @ esplanade. So since we are early, we tour the library for a while.

The seat that J*** had gonna for us are great. We are just 5 rows away from the stage. All i can say is 一分钱，一份货. Thou me and T rememered clearly that both of us paid only 120 plus but the tix show SGD147.  At the end of part 1, the chandelier plummet to the ground  before taking turn to the stage and guess what, we are just sitted just below the chandelier. This is really fun…

The music and the songs are great and i really love “Music of the night” and “Masquerade.”My heart really goes all out with the Phantom. I feel so sad why Christine must treat him in this way….

If anyone invite me for another round..i mean invite me huh, i want to go again. The show is really worth it. T**** told me the 3 old men in the show are from Broadway. No wonder.. What i am quite impressed is that the conductor of the night is a lady.

UCP 600….

Make a guess..what does UCP stand for?Ok..It means Uniform Custom & Practices to documenatry credit. For those in the trade finance will have a better understanding for this.

I attended the course on sat conducted by KBC. Together with J***, M** & T****, we were at Holiday Inn (near my office). sian~… < sidetrack- hate to be near office near is weekends. >

This is a very good course who is doing shipping as from the 1st July 2007. This set of DC rules UCP 500 will be upgraded to UCP 600. Sometimes, people for the bank might not be right. For eg. if the bank come back to you – the beneficiary with a set of discrepancies, the amended documents are resend to the bank and the bank has no right to come back to you the second time for a new set of discrepancies. In short, the bank is only allowed to go back once.  The speaker invited by KBC – Mr Soh is the only asian in the drafting committee.

UCP is a set of rule is not an act on the LC. As know BL – had it own BL act but does not refer to UCP. So in the case of UCP, there is no legal issue involved. I really get lots of it out of this course. I hope all my colleagues will get a chance to experience.. Interesting..

Men Over Women…Hahaha…

Those who attended the Poly 50 training will know what i mean.  For the past few months, SPassion had become a ladies club and the guys are not turning up at all.

But yesterday, after so many months… there are about 8 guys…. and there are 3 gers… M***** is wondering why am i so excited abt it. So happy to see people like Ah S***, LJ, B, (I & V) are the newly recruited. Of course, our captain (KS) & vice captain (D) & ex-cap (MH) are all there.

The gers will be ME… M***** & YM. We are really so glad the guys empowered over the gers this round. The best part is Ah S*** had agreed to take up the adminstrative role again. He can really co-ordinate real well. Spassion is so happy to have him doing all these. Thanks Ah S***.

The training yesterday is really enjoyable cause i tried out something new. “The Beep Test” The inital test is easy but as it goes along… it will be getting faster and breathless. Think i am able to complete till level 8… Hope to increase by 1 level by next week. Really fun as it is really up to oneself fitness level. I want to try again…

I am proud to announce – Poly 50 Training is back.

Great Weather but cannot sleep…

Really hate it so much (think for everyone) when the weather is damn shiok to be sleeping in but the stupid alarm must goes off at this hour.

At 6am plus this morning, it is pouring and sound of the rain is so nice but the time does not allow me to laze in anymore. Bath and changed and off i go with a shivering cold along the way to the bus stop. Dressed quite like a “Ba-Chang” but still cold.

Along the way, listening to Yes 93.3.. Like this one conversation between Cruz & Weibing

W: Cruz, you always have lots of ideas, can tell us if there is any way to avoid going to work today. Cannot be obvious as it will be so concidence to be sick & raining on this morning.

C: Say the house is flooded

W: But what if you stayed on the 13th floor

C: Hmm… Say yest night did not close the window at the kitchen, so is flooded.. if not enough, include the living room and the bedroom..LOL

W: There is a good one..tell your boss this morning when you step out from the house and slip onto the floor. Good one!!

I love listening to the morning show…就是万人迷….. Good Job…

How a day is spend….

Having a causal little talk with a friend.

Me: How is a day being spent?

U: Sleep N Work N Watch TV N Sleep

Me: So Boring – Really no life leh

U: C’mon after a day of 10 hrs at work, where do u get the strength to do whatever u wish…

U: Tell me how u spend a normal day

Me: Defintely better than yours…

But on the other hand, i started thinking how my day of 24hrs is being spent (to myself) 

Wake up at 6am (Preparation + Travelling to work (est.1.5hr)

Reached office about 7.30am – 6pm (normally) – Include an hour of workout at gym – 10.5hr

Reached home normally about 7.30pm – 1.5hr

All the misc stuff for about 2.0hr. – The 3.5hr will be replaced by training if i were running or swimming

Definetly an hour of reading – “So knowledgable” …. hahaha

Sleeping is essential so must acquire about 7.5hr

Yesterday, i decided that i will take up a language course soon. Still deciding what to take up.

200 Pounds Beauty

I watched this movie over the weekend. I am not a superfan for Korea Show but heard that the show is a lighthearted show. Thinking that having a stress week is already bad enough so must have something to laugh at.

The movie is talking about a ger “Han -na” who had a great voice but is extremely over-weight.  Her occupation is a singer. She is the 幕后 singer where the pretty and sexy face singer will be out there singing and dancing. Thinking about it, is there really such person in life. Once overheard, the manager and the sexy singer is making use of Ha-na. Ha-na is turn decided to under the knife and re-born as Jenny.

However, things are not the same.. In the process of it, she is losing herself. She dare not acknowledge her dad in front of the public. She lost her best friend. Everything changes. Even the man of her life cannot accept her of having cosmetic surgery. ” The statement made by her in the last part” Han-na, i miss you.” Still i believe, being yourself is the best. Love who you are and be confident of yourself and you will be equally pretty in your own way.

The soundtrack is nice. I love both sonns – “Beautiful girl” and “Maria”

Motivation

Motivate = inducement to stimulate interest.

Think i had come to a stage that i seem to lost interest in everything. What is in my mind now is to hide myself in a corner and sort things out.

Am i having any problems?? Of coz not.. It simply because i am losing interest in everything. My mind is packed with lots of “nosensical thinkings.” Maybe i am getting too free or else ….

What i need to sort out is to how make my life more interesting and …. to find out what is my motivation factors. 

Thou i know things does not always go the way you want to be. But that doesn’t mean i cannot try to make it the way i want it to be. Of coz not at the expenses of others.

Maybe this is another blue day of mine…

What a way to start my day

This happened to me on friday…. 

Reached the bus stop at 6.40am The Express bus will normally arrive at 6.50am. Displeased, i waited for 30mins… That is about 7.10am. I am veru pissed off then. Feeling damn “buay song” and also car accident at the road junction between JW & JE. The traffic is slightly jam there.

So is another round of caught in jam. “double sian.”

The journey is so long and super packed as the bus is picking up passengers for 2 slots of timing. The 6.50am and he 7.10am slot. Luckily, i boarded the bus at the earlier stage so i got a sit. I am sitting next to a malay ger and she is dozing off and her head is almost touching my shoulder. Many times….

I had sit thru for about nearly an hour whereas the normally timing for the journey is about 40mins.

I feel so gald that i finally reached office…at about 8.10am.

Craving for Chicken Rice

Yest noon, i told J**** that i am craving for chicken rice. I missed the one that we used to visit when i am still working at P*****. The chicken rice stall is located at Ginza Market. Not quite sure of the stall name but they have the “城人杂志” recommendation pasted outside the stall. Not sure if there is any changes as it had been years since i am there.

Surprisingly, when i reached home that night, my mum cooked chicken wing… Somehow compensate the urge to eat chicken + rice. I do not like to take too much carbo in the night as i will have a hard time digesting the food. Since i burnt some in the noon workout (still feeling weak thou as i am struggling in the treadmile).  so i decided to take some input in the night. “Yummy.” Mum is a good cook … haha.

Meet D***** when i am about to return back to the office. Quite surprise to see him there. I ask him to “jio” me next time if he is there so at least i can ask him to help me with the weights. He is strong man….. Heheee.
