Busy Lesson Week

-

I had been quite busy since Sunday, thus this explains partly why I haven't been blogging as much as I wish. Another reason is known to some of my friends, which I don't think it is good to post it here.

Caught this movie, which my brother and I had been anticipating for, "Quantum of Solace", which is the 22nd instalment of the James Bond 007 franchise on Sunday. The story was about "Quantum Of Solace" continues the high-octane adventures of James Bond (Daniel Craig) where it left off in "Casino Royale". Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth after the betrayal of his beloved Vesper, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen). Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where Bond meets the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), who leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a major force within the mysterious organisation known as Green Planet. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, Agent 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene's sinister plan and stop his organisation.

I must say I was quite a surprise to see that there was no much interaction between James Bond & the Bond girls, but I still enjoyed the movie.

Had a chance to window shop at the new Northpoint Shopping Centre too.

On Monday, I had to direct a bus captain who was not too familar with the bus route. I wasn't anticipating that it is becoming a daily thing on the various bus services that I travelled on this few days had new drivers or drivers that are not too familar with the service route. I am glad that my knowledge of bus routes have been put into use this round.

Had a meeting with boss, who feedbacked that other depts were complaining that we were too noisy again. Was asked to tone down. Also got some news that some of us may be facing the axe, as my junior partners feel that some of them have underperformed their duties. I don't think I will be one of them. Also got to know that I would not be seconded to the secretarial dept to assist them in their XBRL filing, as they complained that they are uncomfortable with people helping them. I thought it was good, as I do not need the additional job tasks to be put under more pressure.

My class has been going well, save for a hiccup on Mon, where some people attended class without paying money that resulted in a spot check on Wed. The spot check teams divided the students in alphabetical order and we were to go in through different doors with our student cards. If those people had been more considerate, the lecturer could have spent more time going through the techinques and questions. I wonder why these people are like that?

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
