~En route to Beijing Olympics 2008~

Finally, I can start to countdown to Olympics. Had a pre-departure briefing conducted by Visa International, informing us on our flights schedules and accomodation. Each one of us received a departure kit, consisting of a identification tag, badge and a "All to know about Beijing Olympics 2008" booklet.


I must say that the 3D2N is really a FULL 3D2N.... Departures on the 18th at 0100hrs and returning back to Singapore on the 20th at 2300hrs. Itinerary is packed back to back, as we are going sight-seeing in the day and watching the Olympic Games at night. So by the time the event ends, we'll reach hotel around 0030hrs? Damn tiring lor...

Oh well, just enjoy the Games and get into the mood for Olympics. Beijing here I come!

Why so Serious?

"Why so serious?"
"Want to know how I got my scar?"

Those are the lines you're gonna hear from THE JOKER.

This 153 mins action-packed movie is a MUST watch movie for all of you out there. It punches off with the classic Gotham bank robbery, with Batman trying ways to clean out the mobs plaguing Gotham City....Blah blah blah..

Enough of those story telling... One scene that really hurts me was the Lamborghini being rammed by a truck. OuCH!! Poor car, only had a few minutes of fame before it became disfigured.

Alright, shan't say too much for those who are catching this movie. But trust me, this movie rocks!

Doesn't Batman reminds you of Darkwing Duck?
"I'm the terror that flaps in the dark.... I am Darkwing Duck!" LOL

What a Day!!

Month end closing, the most DREADED day of the accounts department. It's OT OT and more OT. Finished my work before 5 today, submitted the bank recon statements of 3 BUs, tallied my sales and purchases schedule, updated the debtors aging and all ready to leave at 6 to give tuition.

Alas, life's not that easy after all... too efficient la... My supervisor saw that I was free and I landed up in another huge pile of statements waiting to be consolidated. *It's not even the BUs that I am doing one lor*

Learnt a few lessons today:
Rule #1: Always act busy...No matter what.

Had to cancel my tuition class and work till 930pm. Only the thought of able to claim taxi fare back lightens up my heart a little.

Dragging myself down the Concourse building and attempted to flag for a cab home was no easy task. All the taxis are hired... or they just simply ignore me.

Tried walking further down to Golden Mile Tower, also no cabs available. Kaoz...
Waited for 30mins and there wasn't any sign of an available taxi. So I took out my phone and dialled for a cab. "Dun care already, claim my cab fare gao gao..."

Who can expect that the lines are all engaged!! Everyone at this time is calling for a cab. After 15mins of continuous dialling, it finally got through. The operator told me to wait for a moment and will return back shortly with the taxi number. 2 mins have past... 5 mins... 10 mins... and this was the response from the machine, before the call ended:

"Sorry, there are no cabs available in your area. Please try calling again..."

What the?!!

Rule #2: Call the cab way way in advance. Especially if you work in the city area.

I've only managed to get back home at 11pm.... That's 1.5hrs since i knocked off from work. And tmr's only a Wednesday...
