Burp and Fart

In my workplace, we give awards to stars who can burp and fart the loudest. Sometimes, we thank our intestines and our anus for holding on and giving way to the burp.

so I have been farting and burping a LOT of late.... sometimes I get exhausted, grumpy and moody. Obviously, I have put in a lot of work and effort. Does this mean I can get an award too?

Car-aoke Anyone?

Would you like a cheap, fast, lunch hour car-aoke session? Nothing fancy, not in a lounge but in the comfort of a car. While you sing, the driver will bring you around Singapore or to your lunch destination- yes, this is a lunch hour service only. Occasionally, the driver will sing with you. The songs are all pre-selected - 80's music ranging from the Best of Flybaits, Carefree, Headwind, Wings and BDB - and that stands for Black Dog Bone. Sometimes if you are lucky, you'll get M Daud Kilau's songs...and of course you can choose to gelek in the car. This car provides English selection too - Boney M, ABBA, Bananarama and yes, the all time favorite I Will Survive. Interested anyone?

60-an Joget

I was at a wedding yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed myself. They engaged the services of Sri Mahligai mini orchestra to perform. That group sang Malay songs from the 60's. They sang, Nonya Singapura, Manusia, Tak Seindah Jiwa, Gurindam Jiwa, Hello Hello Sayang and more... my oh my... i wished I could danced to the music. Since I couldn't, i resigned myself to singing and shaking my legs under the table. Of course, body wise, I had to sit still. Hubby was on my side... with a restraining order.

Few months back, when my cousin got married, she had Hindi songs... wah, that one also power. I wished I could do some banghra dance. Then, hubby had to remind me to be poised but at the end of the day, when the wedding had ended and we were cleaning up, all my cousins, uncles and aunts went into banghra mode. it was fun.

I think I have found a way to enjoy weddings.... yep enjoy the music, especially so for music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Good idea eh?

Another Office Move....

Friday noon - we stop work and will move to the new office. This would be my 4th move *sigh* The first one was from Temasek Towers to Atrium Tower 2, then Atrium Tower 1, then Atrium Tower 2 (same corner) and now to another Atrium but it's Holiday Inn Atrium @ Outram Road. If I have to move one more time, it will be to another new company.... so i say.


My boss left me and another colleague to choose the colors, system furnitures, carpets, blinds , everythinglah for the new office. Exciting right. The thing is, I am hopeless at matching colors. When we renovated our flat, my hubby chose the colors and made the final decisions on the design. I tell him what I want. This time I was pressured to choose the right colors and furniture... gosh... it was not easy. We spent several nights in the office choosing, contemplating, matching and finally it's all done. I like the new office colors - very colorful and bright. we have 4 meeting rooms, 2 of them has Paul Smith's colors. The other meeting room is bright lime green - and my colleague hated that color. hahaha... we shall see what other colleagues have to say. We have several pillars in the office and we both agreed on the following colors - PINK, REd, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, Orange. Nice eh. Very bright and cheerful. It reflects our personality and brand.

I am anxious. So, we went to visit the office during lunch. My image conscious g/f came with me. She highlighted all the flaws and said that that place is very much like Lion City Hotel and we'll be eating at Cyrstal Jade Kitchen.... well... I have no problems with the place.

I told her its OK. Instead of listening to songs on MTV, we listen to songs from the KTV lounges and dance to the beat of ABBA, Boney M and who knows BDB or Carefree.... i have a tune now in mind... and it has mak enon in it.
