Weekend diary

MSN has become a very powerful tool, even more at my new workplace. A few colleagues told me that MSN is v useful cos its fast and u get almost immediate response from the other party. Esp when everything is so fast paced at work, u dun have waste time picking up ur telephone and search for the right numbers to dial. MSN allows u to communicate and work directly with ur PC where all the information are stored. Even the managers communicate via MSN, cool, isnt it?

What intrigued me more was that one of my section managers asked me if i read the infamous xiaxue blog. The other section manager heard our conversation and was interested to find out the URL of my blog.. walaos... but still, i am thankful for the invention of blogs. Becos i jus simply write wat i feel and din bother to purposely impress others by spending long hours on my contents, tenses, phrasings and sentence structures, my entries are normally written within 5-10 min. One interesting blog will be alex's... which he has impersonified (got such word?), like some old fren he will speak to whenever he feels like sharing.


Last night, I have planned to go for the Ven Kaizhao dana offering session this morning, but somehow there was a bit of screw up in my own schedule. My mum needed my help with her offerings to celebrate the Duan Wu Jie at home. But surprisingly, she asked me to go ahead, and even offered some of her freshly made dumplings + newly bought lychee to be brought to the dana session. I guess I shldnt waste my mum's effort and sincerity, shall go ahead and further extend her meritorious deeds.

The dana session was very very simple and yet complete. Get to see many familiar faces that you wud often see in various buddhist functions. This guy came up to me and asked if he has seen me at XXX or YYY function before... frankly speaking i cant remember (and i dun bother to remember such things), but jus politely told him yes, i have been to XXX and YYY before. Next time i shld brush off by saying " no. .think u ve seen my face on TV before, but tats not me.. jus someone who look like me..." hahaha...

Gonna represent my GRC (Eunos) to compete in 2 swimming events tmr... awwww... i foresee myself tat i will be the clown of the day... a swimmer that is totally out of shape and cant swim fast. I see the name list and found some ex-youth-national swimmers (from other GRCs) in it, so its obvious my roles tmr is to add up to the numbers, such that the audience will see a very nice V-shaped pattern formed up by the 8 swimmers in the waters, with the fastest in the middle and slowest by lane 1 or 8 (which is me!) . Call me cheapo, but i agreed to swim becos i wanna spice up my resume...
