Just met up with Olivia, her husband Clement and her colleague Andrea..I must say it had been nice catching up with her despite her heavy schedule....
She is back in Singapore for a week to sort out her wedding band, wedding gown, pre wedding shoot, her dress, etc....man, she is one busy lady,,..
I first met Olivia during my first three months stint with National Junior College. Afterwhich, I proceeded on to Jurong junior college. Though we only knew each other for 3 months, we kind of get along quite well with the chat...Lost touch in between for the next 8 years...next thing you knew it, we met again in Perth, compliments of her friend, Keng Fei passing mi her contact.
We finally met at a coffee cafe in Perth and there was simply so much things to catch up with her....like her uni days, when she started work, how she got to know Clement and her overseas works...
Time flies, and when you knew it, she is getting married next month. My heartiest congrats to her...I knew that she is in good hands of a mature man...

The aliying and afrey show...
Welcome to the aliying and afrey show!!
This show will come up once in a while as fictional characters of aliying and afrey(to be read as a - frey). Do note that aliying and afrey are not physical representations of any actual people living in lah lah land(coined by my friend, the wondering wanderer)... Their content and thoughts are not reflections of any actual people living in lah lah land.
Better state the disclaimer, terms and conditions first! This show is inspired by the Mr Brown show and the objective of this show is to engage readers in their thinking hats and sharing of experiences as aliying and afrey develop and mature in the highly competitive yet compassionate world..
aliying is defined as a man(a "real" man)of late twenties, slightly above average singaporean height, humble, married with a wife, very very ali@times, good drinking brudder, anime junkie and the nickname "cannonball" on the manjong table..
afrey is of the same age as aliying, best brudder, always there to give you a crying shoulder when the occasion arises, V good drinking brudder, triathlon freak, member of the "bo si kang" (no more time)club and nickname"self make 5 token king" on the manjong table.
The setup goes like this
When : two days ago
where : Bukit Timah Kopitiam
what we talking abt : emotional side of the office politics
aliying : hey brudder!!
afrey: hey brudder!! whazzup!!
aliying : No lah, just want to tell you that I felt very relieved after the series of twists that came along during my work...It had been tough and mentally draining for me...Don't know ha, how come other people clear so easy, mi like maciam very difficult leh...people say everybody got their ups and downs in work, but mine seems more downs then ups!!(some like compraining, rite??) Even got a friend looked at mi and seemed to infer"Eer, you cannot pass ha? I thought easy what"
afrey: Aiyah, I thought wat happen?!!! At the end of the day, you had reached your goals. Learn from the experience and move like....comprain comprain comprain/....okong you - treat mi milo dinosaur.......Abang!!! Milo dino satu, kopi satu susu sikit!
aliying : roger tat!! So how is your chat with your bosses abt your career track?
afrey: DOn't know lah!! Talk no action, LPPL. Just do wat I am supposed to do tomo...one day at a time lah, need not tink so far first...Middle management is really not easy to handle, got to do the work of two ranks up and moniter the work of two ranks down...multi multi task..Sian...
aliying : A sad reality of life, but that is how the world spins, and how life moves on...There is so much more that we can do for the company, but experience, seniority, rank and other hidden factors hinder the efficiency..Like wat you say, just do your best in your job scope...So must I..
afrey: I agree with u, brudder! A lot of us sometimes got too overwhelmed by work that it affected our personal life big time! THis further leaps on to the straining of the relationship between your gf and wife, family members and friends. Wat to do something happi, but cannot be happi...very miserable...
To solve this, what I will do is to go for the adrenline rush.. swim like you never b4 in the south china sea, cycle till your ass crack and go for a half marathon. Guys can go for a shopping spree like women to feel shiok...just got myself a Trek equinox bike!!! Wicked!!! Shiok!! I guess by doing so, you feel more alive, more purposeful and deter yourself from being a workaholic machine..
aliying: Good suggestion! Think one of my goals is set...Project Big mountain b4 38...here I come! Come come, my brudder...let's "ta" the milo dino and kopi susu sikit..
afrey: you siao ah!!

Claypot and Laksa at my home
Apologies for not doing the regular posting...The last two weeks had been intense with flying...
Finally after some attempts, Min and I managed to meet up with Lip Chee and maggie. We cooked dinner together and it was so nice to be able to have laksa and claypot rice, some good drinks and chat the night through....Not forgetting our regular dosage of manjong till 2am in the morning... With a tired soul, managed to sleep for 2.5hours b4 I made my way to east coast with Jeffrey and mingyun at 0530am in the wee morning.
Just to show my support for Jeffrey who was abt to do the NUS triathlon. It was not mi doing that, but I was happy enough to give my strong support to Jeffrey and to pamper myself by going for a10km run.
It had been a cool and breezy run, I must say...
The photos are uploaded...enjoy!
Dinner at Segar with Lip Chee and Maggie
Kids enjoying at FUK
What are you looking for???

A twist to my test yesterday..
Did not complete the test yesterday...hence should be reapplying tomo to give it a try again. At that point in time, I was thinking- was god putting up an additional trial for mi? I was so close to the completion of the objective, but I was halted to goodwill. I felt that I had a decent performance for the test. But I had to do it again. :(
Patience is what I must seek now, I must not rush things in my hands or the amount of hard work accumulated over the past eight months in the fleet will go down to waste. Slow down and slow down!
