Monday Blues Poetry

Be kind,
Reach out a helping hand
Be nice,
Show your sincerity,
Be open,
Open up your mind,
Be honest,
Think aloud; Speak out,
Be initiative,
Take the first step,

But meanwhile...,

Be aware,
Explotation is a possibility,
Becareful,
We only have eyes in front,
Not the back,
Be tentative,
Although we can only hear,
Hear what's around us,
Be alert,
Think before you act,

And everything will be Wonderful...

2007 First Friday 13th

I thought I was going through a lucky week until I realised it is a Friday 13th today!

Well, lucky for the past few days because...

• It's another 4 day working week :)
• Surprised to get my tax return cheque so quickly ^^, which meant I can do more shopping! :))
• Won a box of Truffles in the Raffles Competition during Company's NSPCC day on Wednesday, although the coffee machine and Gordon Ramsay's chocolates looks more attractive. However so, I think I've contributed quite a significant amount (a couple of tenners...about 3% of the total amount raised that day!), mainly to the Auction that our IT Head cooked lunch for the IT girls. It was fun and worth while...

And the lucky week ended today because...

• Had to go picking and help out in the cfc today, although the pizza is complimentary
• Am the last one in my team to leave the office for the fact that it's a FRIDAY and I have to finish up some work!
• Someone used my pot to cook some pasta sauce and left the pot uncleaned which caused the remaining sauce to dry up and stick to the pot. Soaking it with hot water doesn't help much!
• The bin man didn't collect the recycle bins...and its my "bin week" to put bins out and bring them back in... but the recycle bins are just too damn heavy...
• Merely my superstitious mind that keeps reminding me it's a Friday the 13th and that I should becareful banging my head to the wall or tripping on to the floor!!!! :P...Gosh how could I curse myself like that!?!? TOUCH WOOD!!!

Easter Scotland Backpacking...

Went on a Mac BackPackers 3 day tour to Scotland for the Easter Break...
Best part of the trip: the tour guide, Jo! She's hell of a story teller! And an amazing driver cum tour guide!

The Other Day on the Train

Taking a break from reading how to program in PL/SQL, I decided to blog on a KIND OF FUNNY On The Train Experience...

A few days ago, I was on the First Cap Connect train back to Hatfield from London after dinner. It was the 23:06 train and it was quite packed despite the late hours on a weekday. There were still quite a lot of commuters going home from work. Sitting beside me is a girl about my age. When I got on to the train, she was already busy talking on the phone. Opposite her was a guy listening to his ipod. At the Finsbury Park stop, a man around his late 30s, in a suit (probably just off work), came sit opposite me, next to the guy with his ipod.

About 10 minutes later, the man was fast asleep on his seat. And subsequently tipping his head lower and lower till it almost touches the shoulder of the guy next to him. The girl beside me started giggling at first, and then me and the guy who is supposedly the victim join in the giggles and laugh! As the people on the seats over the other aisle was checking out what we were laughing about, they join in the giggles when they realised what was happening. Oh bless the man. I got down the next stop and therefore did not know what happened later. I really hope he did not miss his stop, busy sleeping.
