Quarterly k

Today's the quarterly session for my usual karaoke gang.

Eleven of us made it a priority, took the day off, and attended the session.

The energy level was good today, the jokes and laughter aplenty as usual, and I completed many items on my checklist...

Shouted my lungs out - checked!

Dragged a few cows up the tree - checked!

Tortured the others while doing the above two items - checked!

Sang some new songs instead of the same old same old - checked!

Experienced concert like singing by the others - checked! Really impressed by some of them. Like, really really.

Had fun - checked!

All in all another satisfying session, thank you to my k kaki, I needed the relief, thank you so much! =)

有感而发：世界不大

二零一七年七月二十九日。

今天很忙，从起床后就一直忙到近十点才可以歇一歇。

起床冲洗完毕后就把车驾去维修，一做就已是午餐时间。

情人老婆仔和两个瓜从射箭比赛直接回家，我负责买午餐。

午餐后又出去拿大瓜的生日蛋糕，大瓜十岁啦！

老婆仔答应孩子们十岁可以有个生日会，所以今天一整天在忙搞这生日会。

拿蛋糕回到家情人已经做完寿司，在做三文治。

两个瓜屁股黏沙发眼睛粘电视，叫他们帮忙如同对牛弹琴，所以我不再浪费力气，开始和情人一起做三文治。

开始有大瓜的同学和父母到来后情人需要去招待，还带了整群孩子下去游泳，所以我变成厨师啦！

当然是她去招待咯，我这反社会、反交际的都不知道要跟这些陌生人讲什么的。

不过竟然让我做厨师，自己都觉得老婆仔很敢拿那么多客人生命开玩笑咯，哈哈哈！

只是炸些食物啦，最糟糕也只是变火炭罢了嘛… 呵呵！

老婆仔带队游泳回来后我炸完最后那些就交给她炒面，然后我就忙准备饮料和其它，总之我就一直在忙就是了。

间中有位父亲要先离开，我惊觉是小学然后中学的同学，世界还蛮小的嘛。

换衣服准备拍照时背痛发作，应该是站了一整个下午的缘故，唉…

终于轮到大人坐下来吃晚餐时那小学同学的妻子开玩笑的要我爆她老公的料。

我笑笑婉转的讲兄弟不做这样的事什么的。

其实她问错人了啦，我都不是那样的人来的。

第一，我是在（够好的）朋友面前讲他坏话的咯，这样背后讲不是我的风格。

第二，我是保守秘密的那种人，不是爆人秘密的那种。我可是很看重朋友对我的信任的哦！

失联很多年的同学，竟然在孩子生日会上相逢，只能说世界真小。

不过，我也没有想要联系的念头。

我就是反社会、反交际的喽…

Shhh...

Sleeping is one of my hobbies, I love sleeping.

However, I am not getting enough of it even as the basic necessity, let alone hobby.

I am a light sleeper, easily woken by any noise.

The little monsters, the neighbour, the Muslim prayers, the construction happening right besides my apartment, all conspire to make sure I don't get sufficient rest hours.

Doesn't help that I am a worrier and not that good at stress management. =(

So very tired.

Really, can you all please keep the noise level down?

Pretty pretty please with sugar on top?

颓废

星期五回到家后赶写会议记录和专案组进展报告，忙完已是晚餐时间。

晚上专案组还有一个会议，凌晨时分才结束。

昨天醒来发现感冒了，整个人感觉很不好。

好累，身心思维都累。

就是累。

中午和家人去戏院看蜘蛛侠，好看，但心情怪怪的。

好像忧郁症来袭的状况。

昨天晚餐后我就冲凉去休息，昏昏沉沉再清醒已是十点多十一点。

这几个星期总是三更半夜会醒过来，今天也不例外，所以没有精神。

就是感觉很累、很颓废。

什么都不想做。

Just another rant

Am I really that inefficient?

Or do they not get it that it takes time to do all those tasks?

Maybe they think those tasks should take lesser time?

You know, please do assign the tasks to whoever you think can do it faster and better, that person is probably better suited to handle the tasks.

You gotta use the strength of your employees, assign the right person for the right job, win-win for both employee and employer.

Not just grab whatever and pass them on to whoever you think is free.

Janitorial service* also has limit.

* that's a major part of my job, cleaning up other people's shit

Keep on loading your employee without a care about the bandwidth is just driving your employee to burn out and quitting.

Let's face it, many employees quit because of the management, not because of the job.

Worrier

School examination starts tomorrow for both the kids, but all they care about is their game time and television time.

To them, revision is just something they need to do before they can play or watch the television.

Their attitude towards their studies is just so different to mine when I was their age.

I would be worried about the exam, grabbing any spare time I had trying to go through the subject one more time.

Then again, I am a worrier. My quality of sleep suffers whenever there is something really important happening the next day.

As I have said many times, I am just not very good at handling stress.

I would like to have the spirit of a warrior, but I guess I am just a worrier.

Oh well.

味道

今天出门上班前惯例的和情人抱抱吻掰掰，她说我身上那药膏的味道已经是我的味道了。

说孩子一闻到那药膏味就知道爸爸来了！爸爸来了！

我问她竟然不是嗅到我用的止汗剂吗？

她说只是嗅到药膏味咯。

哈哈，唉～

今年我好像加速老化那样，身体越来越差，每每打完羽球就腰酸背痛。

拜一打球拜二敷药，拜三可能还要敷药然后又打球所以拜四和拜五又敷药。

周末若还是没痊愈就继续敷药…

*汗*

开着车时我就突然想到辛晓琪有一首叫《味道》的歌，歌词里有句是想念‘身上的味道’。

难道我老婆仔和两个瓜想念我的时候是会想起那药膏味？

真是的…

>_<

心的频道：友情需要经营

大学研究期末我变得反社会、反社交，所以那时之后的新朋友不多。

加上我又喜欢宅在家里，几乎都没有主动联络朋友，所以连以往的朋友群也缩小了。

我也不觉得怎么样，看来我还真的是个孤僻的人。

我常说，有些同事只是同事，有些同事也是朋友。

我有一群这样的同事朋友，开始时是公事上有接触的同事，因合得来而成了朋友。

然后渐渐有些是公事上没有接触的同事，但又因为不同的因素相识，合得来，然后成为朋友。

应该是我搞的那些工作以外的康乐活动的缘故，朋友把他们的朋友拉进来，接了缘。

有缘没有分的已经淡去，留下来的是会珍惜那缘分的。

至少我是这样想。

坦白说，常常有工作以外互动的，来来去去也就那几位。

我尽量参与那些互动，毕竟多数是我带起的康乐活动，我就是这样一个整天向往跟工作无关的欢乐活动的人啦，呵呵！

我又不是工作狂啦，总要有让我喜欢去上班的原动力嘛…

加上，我是相信朋友间要常联络互动，才能保持友情的。

当然有些朋友是不需要常联络，而友情又不会变质的。

但有更多的是不常联络就会变陌生，被淡忘的。

每个人有自己的生活观、价值观，所以我们重视的，认为重要的，别人不一定会有同感。

友情也一样，一对朋友在对方心里的位子不一定是平等的。

我想，多数都是不平等的。

但友情需要经营，应该是大家都可以认同的吧？

看得重的，就付出得多点；不那么在乎的，就只是被动的回应。

重要的是，不要把朋友对你的好当作理所当然。

Random thoughts

I have been feeling my age lately, and generally my health has been poor, both physically and psychologically.

Several illnesses and aches, nothing really major but reminded me of the fact that my body is no longer what it used to be.

Depression comes and goes as usual, and there is additional stress from work that I deem is totally unnecessary and wouldn't have happened if not for that reorganisation. So disappointed with the management now.

Putting into action a change plan, don't know if it will bear fruit. I will just go with the flow and do my best.

If it did happened, I am going to miss many things that I have established and gotten used to throughout the years.

*Sigh...*

Random behaviour for July 2017

Put in a conscious effort to keep my entries short and crisp last month, and I am pleased with the majority of my entries, though a few are probably a tad on the long side for my standard of suitable Facebook post length. Anyway, consider myself successful in my June's impromptu resolution. feel good +1

Giving myself a break for July, so no impromptu resolution for this month.

Because I can.

生活点滴：不要吃太多

原来 team building 的华文是「团队建设」，我好像找过这翻译，但又忘了。

今天是我工作部门的 team building。

但四项活动里两样是吃（早、午餐），一样是坐着看戏和吃爆米花，只有一样才真的是有团队建设的活动。

所以我叫它 tummy building。

出门时老婆仔跟我说：

“不要吃太多哦。”

“去 tummy building 你竟然叫我不要吃太多，怎么 build tummy 哦？” 我说。

“等下连裤带都需要脱掉。”

我在笑声中离开。

傍晚带着吃不完的午餐回到家，告诉老婆仔：

“今晚都是不用煮我的晚餐了。”

老婆仔笑说：

“tummy building 成功！”
