Note: this para was written yesterday (20 feb 04). But I was rushing to go so I had no time to complete it and post it on my blog.
damn tired today. lots of mosquitoes lately and i spend the night scratching away. loads of thoughts flashing in my mind recently. thoughts of nothing in particular, thoughts of me, my freinds, my work, good and bad all swriled into one. i wonder why. cant seem to get a my mind at peace recently. maybe its due to the random thoughts. maybe its due to work stress. everynight before i sleep, i will think of all the projects that cant make it this FY and i will be stressed out.
had a weird dream yesterday. wonder if it is because of my thoughts or is it due to stress. why do i say that the dream is weird? because i dreamt of the most impossible people. dun think i would dream of them. cant really remember the dream, but i roughly remember the main weird points
1. dreamt that matt left me to watch a movie alone and im actually ok with it. i mean i never ever will wanna watch movie alone. it is just not me.
2. dreamt of sy, my asst. dreamt she took my hp and shrew it on the ground and my hp cover cracked.
3. dreamt of faith showing me what she will be wearing to power's ktv. it was a black dress with yellow flowers. and i dun think in real life faith will ever wear such a dress.
hmmm, i wonder what is the indication of that dream. This is the 1st time dreamt of sy and faith.

This was written today, 21 feb 04.
Had a talk with chris yesterday. He was asking me how I felt abt sy and said that he is monitering me in my job delegation to her. and we were talking abt staff assessment and so I asked him what was his assessment of me, since till now there was never any proper appraisal given to me. hmmm, so what is chris view on me? he thinks I am hardworking enuff, that I am a fast learner, he has no prob teaching me things cos I pick up very fast, I have no prob in my sourcing and dealing with the local suppliers. And he thinks I am good with my customers, I have a way with people (this one i really wonder. Cause i think I suck). But I still poor in conflict management and creative problem solving. He says I tend to hide and run away when I meet any problems that I cannot solve. Need to brush up on my delegation and management of human resources and my communication with china. Hmmm, was this the appraisal I expected him to say? I seriously dunno sial. But it was much better than I expected.

Anyway, after chris left, i went got ready for the power surprise. Bought a bottle of car window wipes in the afternoon and I found a carton box in my store. So I packed in the box staffed lots of newspapers inside and sealed it up with masking tape. And I really sealed it all around. Haha. Then I start to wrap the present with newspapers. I also dun know how many layers of newspapers I used. But its like 1 classified section. after that, I put in a clear plastic bag and sealed up with a cable tie. Wahaha. And then came the preparation of the voucher. We prepared a voucher for her real birthday present, that is a haversack and a waist pouch and she will go shopping with us to find the bags she like. Haha. And I placed the voucher in her card so that when reads her card after getting her bogus present, she will see the voucher. Haha. Aft preparing her voucher and present, I went off to meet matt at tanjong pagar mrt. Matt told me that there were cafes at IP and we can eat there. but when we reach, the whole shenton way like dead town sial. So bo bian, we went to the ktv and ordered fishball kway tiao there to eat. When we reached, ah li, ah hui, and of course the bird day gal and her alvin were there already. haha. Eq, 00 and vincent arrived shortly and the room became very noisy. We were all busy selecting songs while power had her mini concert. All the karen mok and fann wong (:x) songs. Haha. Aft some time, faith and jasper arrived too. And that���s when our ktv room turned into a super hyper market. Especially when faith and eq were talking to each other (without mic). They wereee even louder than the person singing with mic. Haha. We took lots of pictures and qrd mid night, we had the cake cutting session. We sang happy bird day song for power and made her open the presents and there comes my surprise. Wahaha. revenge is sweet sial.

Ah li, ah hui, vincent and 00 left early. so in the end, were only left with 7 of us. Haha. Power got to sing the last song and after that, we went to tiong bahru to makan porridge. In the car, faith and power were making a lot of noise. They wind down the window and shouted: ho sei boh to passer bys. You should have seen the look on the person���s face. They were so shocked they looked like they ma chiam see ghost. Or see a mad momo. haha. During the supper was another noisy session. And aft makan, we all went home. by the time I reached home and slept, it was already 4+ already. this morning woke up at 9. My eyes look like panda again. :s
