进行式 by 萧亚轩 & 胡彦斌

My tribute to the 2005 NBA Champions - San Antonio Spurs.

Did it while zoning in office yest and the background while mapling last nite. In my haste, i forgot that IE has a property bar on top, u noe, those back buttons that area. Therefore, my background doesnt fit exactly..

Yes I M MAPLING AGAIN. I've cleared most of the animes in my hdd, even my bitcomet only has ONE torrent running. I'm a bandit once more!

Some bugs hanging ard, u folks might have difficulties scrolling the posts bcos there's something which acknowledges that u're trying to save the picture while u're not. I'll fixed it up when i get home. I try...

Yup, credits to NBA.com for the wonderful wallpaper which i stole the background banner and the logo from.

This thing will stay for.. hmm.. until i get bored of it.. which is.. pretty short a period of time.

San Antonio Spurs are the 2005 NBA Champions!

After a finger-crossing, fist-clenching 48 game minutes, Spurs took Game 7 of the NBA Finals with an 81-74 win over the Detroit Pistons. What a closely fought game it was. 10 lead changes, 16 times tied.

Robert Horry came out firing. 1st quarter, 18-14 Spurs. Great D they had.

Duncan showed his rebounding magic in the 2nd quarter. Half time scores stands at 39-38 Pistons.

Pistons extended the lead to 5 within the 1st few minutes of 3rd quarter. Manu and the Spurs did a 7 straight points run to inch within 2. Duncan scored 12 in the 3rd to draw at 57 per piece.

Manu roared in the 4th. 11 points in the last 10 minutes, including a 3 pointer, a monster dunk and an easy layup. Pistons could only move as close as 4 points in the last 3 minutes. Couple of Pistons had 5 personals while desperately trying to buy some time and hope for missed free throws. They didnt get that. All they got was Manu and Duncan swishing the net. Final buzzer blew. SBC center erupted.

I heaved my first sigh of relief since the 6 points deficit in the 3rd quarter. Manu is my MVP, but the commissioner awards it to Duncan.

Its a wonder how Spurs rebuilt themselves since their 1st ring in 1999. David Robinson, Steve Kerr, Stephen Jackson, Sean Elliot and a couple of other guys i couldnt recall on hand, left the team following the championship. The team was built around Robinson. Now it was Duncan. A few years down, it would be Duncan AND Manu AND Parker.

A great example which depicts a championship couldnt be won without team effort. Duncan shone, Manu starred, Big Shot Rob contributed, the rest of the Spurs supported.

Cool team!

Caltex increased price of mogas by 9 cents and diesel by 6 cents following Shell's increase in pump price. I nvr knew our products are more expensive than Shell's. The 26% discount seems like a softener to the pump price increase.

Yeah.. n Watson's Beer Treatment Series is seriously good!~ The Tiger Balm thing is a waste of money. I woke up in the middle of the night with shoulder cramp. The mask, the peeling part is fun, but not really effective.

Let me bring u on a tour of my work area~

WHO IS THIS VAIN GIRL BLOGGING??
I DUN NOE U!!!


I've became very vain. I've a whole array of facial wash, 4 bottles of shampoo, 2 bottles of conditioner, 3 bottles of hair treatment mask/wax/watever, and loads of miscellaneous creams/hair wax/hair gel, etc etc.

I DUN RECOGNISE MYSELF!!

Where's the fella who uses watever shampoo/body foam/facial wash is available?
Where's the fella who never uses hair gel/wax/conditioner?
Where's the fella who cuts her hair damn short so that there's no need to comb her hair??

I DUNNO...

I just squandered my bucks at the pharmacy again. I bought the beer treatment shampoo and wax, 30ml aloe vera gel, St Ive's face mask, Tiger Balm neck and shoulder relief cream. At 3 pharmacies. I paid at Watson's THRICE. Bcos i couldnt remember to buy the all items together. The Tiger Balm was an impulsive buy. AGAIN. Someone pls call all the pharmacies and ban me from buying.

Stupid Hair, Stupid Face, Stupid Head, Stupid ME!!

Woman are trouble. Really. See all the bucks spent on their already quite perfect hair/complexion. See all the time spent waiting for the wax/mask/treatment cream to do its work. See all the space wasted on their "artillary". See all the expensive undies that wun be seen most of the time.

I've became a woman.

And I still need to get a bottle of perfume.

Office is my 2nd home.

I've been working late so frequently, I'm feeling weird leaving office at 5.35pm. Since 2pm after coming back from lunch, my eyes were stuck on the P&L,CM and OPEX for Distribution, trying to work out the formula for COS. 3.30pm. Mystery Solved. Took a while more to link the info. 4pm. Started compiling the stuff together. 4.30pm. Cracked my brain to write out the findings in a simpler form. 5pm. Email sent. Case closed. Boss asked abt some losses before getting cut off by a call which lasted till 5.30pm. I was slacking around the whole time. 5.30pm. i wandered off to the other end of the office planning to kajiao ppl. The ppl already left!! 5.30pm on the dot! Wandered back to my seat.

Pack up. Zao.
But I have the feeling I did not do something which requires me to do. I do not remember anything impt. Syndromes of leaving early.

I've became a workaholic!

Firstly.. Hi Sheryl!! kekkeke.. wats ur blog again? i link u up..

Just realised it was 1am. Reached home ard 11.45. Tired.

Drums at 4. i got into a cab at 4! I was 20 min late!! freak! Jamming Bad Company again. Missed last week's class, go in a bit blur, whack like nobody's biz. hohoho, like everyone else notices in the midst of the chaos. Stress relief~

Met up with the poly folks, Sheryl, i haven seen u since.. ?? 1 yr? 2 yrs? Everyone still the same as the previous gathering which is half a yr ago, except for maybe me, the long hair part. Subway dinner, I'm not a Subway person. Who would ever thot u can find green chilli in cheese steak sandwich?? n its not hot as in atsui that hot. Proceeded to Mandarin Hotel for drinking session. Ordered Brandy Alexandra to try it out. Darn strong. Tastes like Bailey's Irish Cream. I prefer stuff like brandy with sprite. No cream.

Eat tok drink take photo. Seems like nothing much else to do on gatherings. Hmm..

Sheryl, Jeff and Cassandra left early.. So left with..


Taken By Kim

Edited at 3.41am Just finished doing my eCR. I've decided to take the following for Yr 2.
UOL10 Sociology
UOL25 Principles of Accounting
UOL28 Managerial Econs
UOL79 Elements of Social & Applied Psychology
Yes I know u all will say I'm crazy for taking Managerial Econs, the so-called killer paper of all. But I'm already crazy for taking Bachelor in Science (Econs and Mgmt) anyway. Managerial Econs or Micro, ME looks more interesting (read that as impressive).
My classes will start on Independence Day. Mon Tues and Thurs for most part of Jul til end of Aug (all Psycho) and Mon Wed Thurs for Sep til Feb 2006. N I have POA class on my bday. Darn, I'm going to pontang for dat day!!! CONFIRM!!

反覆记号 by 蔡依林

2 min 21 sec left. Game 4. Spurs 71 Pistons 97. Pistons have tied the series. OMG!

Yeah folk, arm ur cameras, go to the nearby service station and shoot the discount board. 23% discount + 3%.. Nvr so high before. The 3 retailer ladies are fighting it out. Exxon, Shell, Caltex. from 10% 2 days ago, to 13, 14, 17, 20, finally 23% last night. The 3% is for those card users i think. This is seriously crazy when oil prices are rising in US. Seriously, does it make a difference when all oil companies increase their discounts with a few hours difference? The motorists will pump more frequently but its not really significant. Dunno what they're trying to do. No wonder the other day someone was asking me if it is compulsory to include gst in discount price. I refered her to someone else better qualified to answer her question. They planned it before-hand.

Final score 71-102. Can't Spurs win on Piston's court?

I'm finally free~ Free from statements, free from SOX!! yay! Still a few days b4 Biz Planning, can relax 1st. Very very sleepy. I look like a vampire with panda eyes now.

However, they tend to avoid confrontation, and feel very uncomfortable around people. A types are shy and sometimes withdrawn. They seek harmony and are very polite, but all the same feel that they never really fit in with others. A types are very responsible. If there is a job to be done, they prefer to take care of it themselves. These people crave success and are perfectionists. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all the blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity.

People with blood type A are also likely to be considered classic "type A's": stressed and conscientious. In anime, people like Hotohori are type A's.

Ahhh.. super sleepy. Slept at 2 after being hooked onto a new game. Yipz. NEW GAME. 武林群侠传. A continuation of 金庸群侠传 which i'm an avid fan of during my secondary school days. Its THAT old. And I still remember its in DOS version. This new one runs in Windows, luckily its compatible with XP although i have to change the language settings. The guy lead looks like a cross between Daniel Chan and Xiao Zhu. The only thing i missed was the ability to steal things from people's treasure chests. This game took it out and inputted many new features. Fishing, hunting, collecting herb, mining coal, to sell and earn for money. The bad thing about this game is you have to keep reading all the chinese words.

I've been leaving office at 7+ consecutively for 3 nights including last friday. This isnt good... I've finally finished my statements, its SOXing time now, over and done with it today and I'll be free!~

SOX - Sarbanes-Oxley Act
SOX - Slogging it Out eXercise

Nobody likes SOX, but it still makes its appearance every 6 mths.

I've got 3 new controls which they quietly put. Very smart. But compared to getting thrown 16 new controls and taking out the previous one, I'll take the 3 controls definitely.

Spurs gave away Game 3 of the NBA finals. Manu and Duncan are not up to their standards. Its 2-1 now. I hope Detroits won't repeat their history.

爷爷泡的茶 by 周杰伦

Its the BAH ZHANG SEASON!!

But I only ate 2 so far.. I miss my ah ma's bah zhang!!~~ According to some customs, can only start baoing next yr.. 2 yrs no ah ma bah zhang.. *lemme go out n get a commercialised bah zhang..*

*5 mins later.. Back with bah zhang and some pharaoh mummies on tv..

yeah dah.. the past week was hectic.. SOX for tax was finally up on friday in the late afternoon. Good thing, I'll get the same as last yr instead of the 16 new controls.. *phew* Bad thing, I'm left with 3 days.. 0_0

Working in the retirement village is not easy.. I get thrown practically every thing bcos they're too lazy to learn n bother abt it. i'm left with 3 days for SOX which i haven even collect samples and 2 days for my statements which i haven done the accounts and data inputting part! + IPO haven do and backuping BA for 2 more days. I always lament abt my work ehh..

Worked till 7 on friday, and haven finished my stuff. I'm the only one left in the office, darn creepy and dark and i keep hearing a bam-bam-bam sound on the other side. Quickly pack after i finished my last inventory and walk out of my dept, to see the cleaner coming out of the meeting room. Gave me a scare there! If i'm stationed at Caltex House, i think i'll work till very late since.. everyone there works like there's no tmr. Had wanted to go back office on sat but i'm a night person, wats more i have the talk at 2pm, no point going there for 3 hours and zao. No work will be done..

Attended the enrolment/orientation talk on sat, skipping my drums. It started off with a tour around the school and i was seriously considering zao-ing, but i want to see what they have to say in the talk. Tolerated the climb to the 4th floor Grand Hall where i sat for my bridging exams, 3rd floor to the cafe where i have my dinners sometimes, 2nd floor to the library, and the guide introducing like I'm a totally new student. The talk lasted abt 3 hrs, NO BREAKS!! By the end of the talk, less than half of the attendees were left. The registration damn mah fan. Cant we jus register at SIM once and for all! Still need to go RELC in the coming fortnight and pay 466 pounds = abt 1.2k! Darn, I'll wait till my pay comes b4 i go, and i gotta claim back all my invoices asap. No $$ liao.

Ah bird finally treated me the ktv she owed me since CNY where i qued for her for the bah guah. Its been a while since i went, the system changed, i prefer the old one. Was either watching mtv or dedicating songs more than concentrating on singing, so.. sing wrong a lot of words.. wahahha.. the bird chirps super high, hard to sing with her..

Went Clarke Quay to look for bird's sis setting up a flea store there. We walk the whole of CQ before we found her and.. it was just on the right of where we alighted. As usual, hollanding again. Must find some time to visit the flea market, quite some stuff there. Walked past IndoChine Forbidden City.. So cool~~~ Anyone wanna go??

My laptop's so full of stuff that I've only 200mb free. All the stupid animes series are not enough to fill one dvd on its own! Damn it!! n waiting for some series to finish dl-ing.. arghh.. faster faster.. And I've changed my wallpaper! From Syaoran to.. Syaoran!! HAHA! Spent a few hours dl-ing quite a few walls but the syaoran still prevails.

yeah dah yeah dah.. its back to suffering tmr.. shld plan my time tmr now..

战士. 公主

(改编自 F.I.R. [刺鸟])

城堡里的空气 虚幻的瑰丽
云海烙印的痕迹 却不是流星

血染红的风景 邪恶的美丽
天真无邪的眼睛 被妖魔占领

站在窗边的身影 看悲剧上映
有勇气却没止战的能力

战火光芒 遮盖星光 仇恨哀怨 全放一旁
手中的刀枪 保护着家乡 顽强奋战

昨天的伤 瞬间遗忘 明天再战 任性抵抗
战士的勇敢 公主的泪光 坚持希望

突然累了 by 林俊杰

Back to the cruel reality..

After 3 days of away from office, I thought that I'll be greeted by 100 over emails this morning. Nope, only 46 present. Maybe due to the fact that my 2 bosses are not ard.

Had planned to blog yest, but was too lazy and tired to do so. Plonked my body on my bed after my late lunch and watched Hunter x Hunter till i fell asleep at ard 4+. Pulled myself out of bed at 7.30pm. End result, I'm zoning right now as I couldnt get to sleep till 3+ last night. My brain's not really working. Took me about 30 minutes to reply a SOX email just now and even then, my language's ... I'm running some background reports now, might as well make use of the waiting time to blog.

Firstly, Yup! Over and done with my bridging exams. I will NOT do well. What do you expect from someone who only studied for like 4 hrs for each paper? I only hope i pass. Gimme a C I'll be over the moon. The questions for Maths were about the same as past yr papers and yet I left blank for 30 marks. Reason: I'm not an A Maths student, so I just ignored those intergrels, differentiation stuff. Too lazy to learn. Econs was super easy, that I'm kicking myself after the exams. Even though the questions were hinted, or rather, given, during the lectures, I messed up all my graphs. The lecturer's drawn on the spot graphs were a bit hard to understand if u do not have the questions also, and my notes had only answers, no questions, so dah. For the 3 hrs paper, I drew like, more than 6 graphs, to the point that I dunno which graph is for which and jus whack IS-LM model for most of the questions I dun really understand. I know how to derive with the multiplier, but I forgot the components. Thats 9 marks for the multiplier, for which i just gave a written answer without working. Someone should just chain me to the desk and chair during exam periods. Flipping your 1st page of notes at 12am when the paper is at 10am isnt going to help u score.

Ok, so what's the 3 days of leave for? Hunter x Hunter all the way! I'm left with one episode for the whole series.

I had been thinking, what sort of car will suit me if I'm going to get a car. Perhaps a Suzuki Jimny? $50k for 2nd hand, $60k new. I tried a budget calculator. If I'm willing to pay $500 each mth, $5k downpayment, my budget would be ard $47k.. Nissan X-trail?? Forget it.. $73k 2nd hand, $100k new. I can't really imagine myself driving a Sunny or those kinda saloon cars. Impreza is ard $50k for 2nd hand but I like the WRX model. $85k 2nd hand. Freak out. Most probably I'll get Jimny if I can get $10k comfortably in my bank account 1st. Which means, NOT IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

Rushing some figures for SRC. So dah!~

验伤 by 陈珊妮

I came across an Indian family while I was waiting for bus at Clementi in the evening. Mother, Grandma, 2 sons and 1 daughter. Nope, the kids did not fustrate me by jumping within cm from me. (For some reason, they surrounded me after i slumped myself to the pillar) Nope, they did not irritate me with their louder than my Sony Nude voices. Nope, they dun smell. What disgusts me was the disciplining of the kids. The younger son ate his sweet, n threw the wrapper on the ground, as if nothing happened. Mum saw it, Mum said a few words to him, Son danced off arrogantly, Mum DID NOT PICK UP THE WRAPPER. What kind of discipline is this? No wonder the son was so arrogant. It CAME FROM U MOM!!! Totally disgusted! I was actually thinking of picking up the wrapper IN FRONT OF THE MOM and bring it to where it belonged, hoping to make her realise her failure as a mom. I looked ard, no rubbish bin in sight, n MOM was looking at her phone. NO USE.. She won't know I've picked up the wrapper unless I threw it in her face. Bus came.. I boarded with a reluctant feeling.. I WANTED to shame the mom!! Discipline is by example/action, not a few words! I hope ur precious son turns ur house into a rubbish chute!

Heh.. Enough of evil thoughts. I've only a day left to my exams. Lemme check what exam is it.. Maths. My mum called me up with bad news, my calculator's spoilt! Meaning I've got to spend a few studying hours tmr to get a new one. Not like I'll really spend the few hours studying. I'm so not confident of even getting 34 marks for Monday's exam! Functions, Equations, Derivatives, Matrices, Integrels, they all seem so foreign to me. Must be the fact that I wasnt an A Maths student. Hate Maths Hate Maths!!

Yeah dah. I've took 3 days leave for exams. But my company made it seems like I'm going to be away for a LONG time. Like the biz analyst who's going on leave for a week, they made it seem like he won't be ard for 1 month. And I've been placed as his backup during the "1 month". I've started the biz plan, n I've done the figures for my boss's and my dept. I predict there's loads more stuff to come. And I'm left with 4 freaking days for my customs report which I have NOT started!

Busted $120 on Friday at Jean Yip. I'm a GIM MOH GIA NO MORE!!! HA! I've darkened my hair color, still adapting to it. Sat there from 7++ to 9++. Went thru abt 5 mags. The fellas there keep changing my mags even though I've not even flipped a page. And surprisingly, seems like quite a few ppl noe me there. (I only noe Karen <- my hairdresser and Aleric <- the guy who cut my hair damn short..)

While i was at the sink..
Some fella: Wahh ur hair so long liao, how long u took? 1 yr?? I almost couldnt recognise u!?!
Me: Heh??
Some fella: Dat time u cut boy cut. From here leh!! *points above ear* Now SO LONG!
Me: Haha..
I think he's the in-charge. I couldnt see him clearly. He was standing at my blind spot. (I was washing my hair rem.)

The haircut, or rather trim, costs $20. Dye and treatment was from a package I took earlier on. And I got psychoed to renew the package. $408 (short hair) compared to $768 (long hair). Mine was considered long now, but if i renew, I'll be paying the short hair price. Its $300 bucks difference!! So the $100 was for the deposit although i planned to try out Grace's hairdresser the next time for rebonding. Anyway the package has no expiry.

Continue with my HunterxHunter watching. WAIT!! Aint I supposed to be studying!?!! I need someone to chain me to the books!! Its hard to study n work at the same time. I feel so indifferent to the exams..

如果有一天 by 戴敏非

Grab a paper and pencil and ready to find out how much Libra is in your personality! Read each of the following situations over and quickly assess (go with your first instincts) whether you agree with the statement. For every statement you a agree with, jot down a tally mark. At the end of the quiz you will find instructions on how to interpret your score.

THE LIBRA QUIZ

1. I tend to put the needs of others before my own.
Not Really...

2. When it comes to work, I much prefer a team environment to complete projects rather than completing work alone.
I rather do it myself..

3. Nothing gets me more upset than when someone doesn't play 'by the rules' or look out for the 'other guy'.
1 Its not the ultimate straw thou..

4. I never have had a short term relationship with someone. I have never 'dated', and the few relationships that I have had lasted years.
2 Nvr dated..

5. I don't like change. For example, I don't see moving into a new home or getting a new job as an adventure, I see it as disruptive.
3 I dun like change.. lazy to readapt..

6. I avoid confrontation with co-workers and friends at all costs, even if it means that I have to step down from a personal opinion.
4 yeah da yeah dah..

7. People have told me that I tend to be indecisive, but I think I just take my time weighing the pros and cons of a situation.
5 Hanor!! i'm weighing.. hahha

8. I am happiest when I have a significant other. I do not like the single life at all.
6 Hehh.. at least he's always there when i wanna go shopping..

9. When a long term project comes up at work, I excel at putting together a strategy for making the project a success.
Nahh.. lazy to coordinate..

10. Cocktail parties, the theater, and the opera are typical social events for me.
No Way..

11. I am excellent at saying just the right thing to people. I have never had to put my foot in my mouth.
My foot is always stretching my mouth..

12. I have never been divorced and I don't even understand how a marriage could ever end.
7 Hmm..

13. I'd say my worst habit is my tendency to be a gossip.
I can keep secrets.. I'm not a gossiper..

14. I would say that I am artistic. I love to enjoy and create beautiful things.
8 Yeahh.. autistic oso.. hahhah

15. Sometimes, if I am feeling bored, I can fall into a rut and become very lazy and apathetic. It is best for my spirits if I keep myself busy.
9 I'll stone..

16. I love learning as much as I can about the people I know. Sometimes my friends accuse me of "doing an interview" or "playing psychologist."
10 Hmm?? Agree sentence 1.. but i was nvr accused..

17. When I workout, I prefer to do it at the gym or with friends. The company of others makes the experience much better.
11 Yipz.. they'll be the motivation to even GO to the gym..

18. No matter how much I disagree with the personal opinions of an individual, I can always win them over with a good, long conversation.
I cant do dat..

19. I love to keep up with the most current fashions. You will never catch me wearing last year's styles!
I dun really care..

20. No matter how much I disagree with my partner on a certain issue, I always look for a compromise.
12 Yeahhhh..

Your score: Every tally mark you made has a value of five percent. For example, if you agreed with 15 of the statements, you have a score of (15 x 5) 75%. This would mean that 75% of your personality characteristics fall in line with a typical Libra?

My Score:
12 x 5 = 60%
!!!! I'm only 60% a Libran!!

What is a "typical" Libra personality?

Libra (born September 23-October 23) is the Seventh sign of the Zodiac. If you spot a Libra,you are likely to notice how well dressed they are. If you visit a Libra in their home, you will discover an equally fashionable atmosphere. They are artistic people that use their creative abilities both in work and play. Those under the Libra sign are very careful decision makers,always weighing to pros and cons of any situation before acting. Librans are polite and good-natured people that like to avoid ruffling any feathers. They have a gift for communication and use it to their advantage, but always fairly and diplomatically. A Libra is one of the biggest cheerleaders for the spirit of cooperation that you will ever encounter. Librans are known as the "great diplomats" of the Zodiac.

自得其乐 by 戴敏非

Its June.. My pinky finger's still recovering from last friday's kana-coerced-to-go bowling session. Only 3 games n i brought back a twisted/sprained/nerved-injured pinky. Ironically, its not swollen, but i'm having a hard time on the keyboard with the right shift. I'm DAT bloody weak...

I spent the last 2 days doing crap stuff for my boss. 3 hrs to rush out a MSWord flowchart drawn from scratch n according to a Visio document. It feels like ITAB exam. Did OT yest for Biz Planning. Actually i just had to add 5% to this yr's budget, but i had to take into considerations some external factors and redo the numerous figures into a layman format and the fact dat i was given the stuff at 5pm doesnt seem good. I m a walking MSOffice..

Highly recommending the singer above, Dai Min Fei, dat is, if u're into folk-jazz music. He is.. ya lah.. Penny's brother, but he has the talent. I got his cd from Yahoo auctions by chance. Simple tunes, easy to understand lyrics, its a break from the commercialised pop music dats blasting in the radios everyday..

SAP is hanging. n they're gonna move the server to US! How worse can it get?

Gonna watch Madnagascar (still cant get the spelling correct..) tonight..

Yeah.. Its the GSS!! Thinking of stuff to grab the discount opportunity. I'm planning for:-
1) New phone - E700a is having trouble sending msg.. and the menu button is losing its sensitivity.. i quite like x200 thou its jus a normal phone..
2) Sunglasses
3) Perfume..

Needa find time n motivation to do housekeeping and find my missing wifi card.. my room is in a total mess now..
