Deteriorating

Whilst reading my recent posts, I discovered an appalling number of grammatical mistakes. Gosh.

Around the World in a post

Many interesting things occurred around our tiny planet during this few months. Natural diasters while common were wreaking havoc almost simultaneously! Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Samoa. Incredible.

Back at home, no major sensational news. Ram Tiwary, an ex-SAF awardee was found guilty yet again. For $5000 owed in rent, could Tiwary have murdered his room mates? I believe there remain unanswered questions. His family can afford a Queen Council, why couldn't he pay $5000? Not my buisness anyway.

Back to my fav sports. Safina is finally NOT no.1. Good riddance from the throne. She so totally made a mockery of the distinguish ranking.

Oh yes, and this year's Nobel Laureates have strong representation by the Asians. Of the 9 announced so far, 2 are Asians and they make up 1/3 of the combined prizes given. One of their work involves realizing the internet. Damn he is good. The rest, I am pretty clueless. Ribosome discovery, telomerase discovery. Both sound pretty similar in terms of proximity in the human body. haha. It seems the direction for Nobel committee is more of saving humans. What about the planet. I hope alternative energy scientists or even environmentalists will be able to get recogniztion in the near future. However, I believe this will happen in 30-40yrs' time, at quickest.

What happened in between?

It's been a long while since I last updated. In fact, it was so long I nearly forgot what's the password for blogspot. So what happened in between?

Work and fun has consumed most of my time. In fact, I had one of the best times for as long as I can remember. Mahjong, sports, clubbing (not my definition of fun but nonetheless enjoyable), a short trip to batam and PS3.

Work hasn't been quite on the same page as my outside-work activities. Have been arrowed to organize next year's dragonboat event, which is massive! And quite soon another major undesirable work is deal for arrowing; I feel that the cross-hair on me is like the size of Jupiter. On the contrary, I haven't been able to go on course. Shoudn't new staff be put on some fundamental courses?

I will see how it goes. I m known to be quite bitchy abt the smallest of stuff, but this time, I shall suck it up and stick with it.

Freshman Once Upon a Time

Update

Its been awhile. Started work on 13 July 2009. I shall remember that day for the rest of my life. Graduated on 10 July 2009. Shall not forget that as well.

Having concluded the 2nd week at work, I realised that it is something I am not really interested in. Its alot of challenge in itself in terms of digging for historical records and writing in recommendations for approval on some issues. It does not help when some of the computerized platforms are inaccessible even up till now. Have been actively putting up requests after requests until my boss think I mayb alittle too buggy. Haha. Dun care...Seriously how can I function when the functions I need are not working for me?

Till my next bitch-ing...

Wimbledon 2009

I cannot over-emphasize the dominance and awe that the Williams sisters bring to Wimbledon. Since 2000, except for 2006, the singles final would have featured at least one of the Williams sisters. Between them, they share 7 Wimbledon titles. What about those blond bitches who talk so much in the media and press? Safina, Jankovic, Ivanovic, Sharapova, Azarenka, Radwanska? Between the 6 of them, they share 4 miserable grandslams. For the record, Azarenka was swatted 2-6, 3-6 by Serena while Radwanska was routed 6-1, 6-2 by Venus. Ivanovic did not even dare to finish her match retiring 1-6, 1-0 against Venus. Scintillating! Even in the doubles side, the Williams squashed the 2006 Wimbledon doubles champions of Yan Zi and Zheng Jie 6-0, 6-0! Fascinating!

Players come and go, they may hit patches of purple once in awhile and people sit up and take note. However, more often then not, they just fade away into oblivion. Not with the Williams. They are here to stay, and stayed they did. 10years! Serena won her first slam in 1999, Venus in 2000. Serena won her 10th in Jan and Venus is on route to win her 8th. Come on, drop the racial jips and respect them! Your blond sex bombs are but just empty vases. Fragile and noisy...

Prediction: Venus and Murray to win.

Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

Growing up in the 90s, my blog will not do justice if I did not pay tribute Michael Jackson. In my favourite list of music tracks, I have Billy Jean and Beat it. I happened to chance upon them in this century only (you may ask where was I in the last). Putting it in perspective, Billy Jean and Beat it were released in 1983 and I still hear them in clubs now.

I was in shock when my dad told me he died. While there were the Elvis and Beatles who could be more famous, MJ was someone I can identify with, someone who has revolutionized music and what pop music comes to being as we know it today. MJ epitomes FAMOUS and ICONIC. Not your run-off-the mill F4, Farenheit, SHE, 6655 or 1234(??), MJ even with its initials are easily identifable throughout the world over.

A pity. A pity that in recent years, he was cruxified by the media. Wouldn't they leave him alone? He is truly a musical legend who has made a difference to the world. A legend who has brought life and color to our otherwise mandune lives. A legend who comes along once a century or a lifetime. I am very fortunate to be born in his era and to have enjoyed his music and gravity-defying dance moves. The world will miss you.
