And on that farm he ATE a cow

Long weekend.. didn’t exactly do a lot but sure as hell ate a lot~!! Let me try to recall here the obscene amount of food tat went into our systems over the course of this 3 day break.. it started on Friday evening with a really large serving of pork ribs.. the partner had her beef ribs and we top off the evening with a sinfully delicious chocolate cake.. mmm mmm.. Saturday morning saw a really really heavy brunch with fried kway teow.. chicken wings and curry puff.. the partner was forced into a heavy breakfast too with laksa.. chicken wings and carrot cake~!! We felt full for the whole day.. I kid you not.. dinner was teppan yaki at Jurong where we ate way way way way way too much.. but it was yummylicious.. Sunday was alright till dinner time where we decided to have a cosy little barbeque at me place.. we must have ate the entire repertoire of THAT old macdonald’s song worth of animals PLUS the greens that he might have harvested at his farm… add to this an entire refinery worth of oils and you can easily imagine how bloated we all felt after this dinner.. meant for 10 but consumed by 2…. Pigs..

To mitigate all these.. this weekend had also been rather physically exhausting for me.. firstly.. there was that mandatory jog on Friday evening.. followed by a 10km trek at macritchie reservoir on Saturday where the partner lost the sole from her underutilized shoe from overwalking.. and then on Sunday.. in anticipation of the heavy heavy bbq dinner we are gonna have.. I went for the regular jogging routine again.. and boy was I tired out due to the earlier exertions from the past 2 days.. which kinda explains why I am feeling so drained now and blabbering on non stop with unimportant information.. hahahaha…

Ee Aye Ee Aye Oh~!!

Not again....

fast aint it? barely my 3rd month into the job and already found reasons to sack the management here... sometimes i really have to take a step back and ask myself where the problems really lie.. is it with me? do i have a problem conforming? am i too hasty? too impatient perhaps? impulsive? spoilt maybe?

don't want to overly analyse things so shall just go ahead with my plans and sack the serangoon dwellers around here.. guess i just have to survive a little bit of lean and mean times for this month and next and hang in there slightly.. maybe its a good time to take a sabbatical and try to grow abs beyond the mere sporadic bursts of business volume.. but where? what? how? ooh.. strategising time.. maybe the ivory tower management team here can help me out on this.. since they're so brilliant at "strategising".. but wats a strategy without the actionable roll-out plans? empty talk tats wat.. lots of hot air around here.. the office is floating up already.. stop it~!!

i get a kick sometimes from speaking out against my oppressors.. but it has cost me somewhat dearly at times in the past.. although i am quite assured this would not be one of those regretful times.. i still have a nagging feeling within myself that history repeats itself over and over and over again..
