company junk trip

Last Friday, was our company junk trip.  We all left for the junk trip at 12:30pm, you can opt for not going but if you did, you've just gotta stay in the office and work~!

Some of my friends think that this is absolutely a great company to be working for, well, I sort of think the same.  Put it this way, which employer would let all the staff have half a day off and then pay for a couple of junk trips for everybody?  Not that many I would guess.

Anyway, we arrived at Lo So Shing Beach (Lamma Island), played some beach volleyball, dipped in the sea for a bit, had a few beers and some form of food, karaoke sessions and a fall into the speed boat... hehehe

looking alright there...

Bruised! Around the knuckle of the right thumb.  The forearm felt bruised as well, just not visible that's all.  Should not have played beach volley ball at this age, especially it's been a couple of decades since I last played!!   Having said that, it was really a lot of fun.  Chasing the ball, doing the serve, falling over... fun fun fun!

I still remember we had to take tests for PE when we were in the girls' high school.  We had to do running, jumping, throwing, basketball, volleyball, soft ball and all!!  And those were not the only sports I did (not good at them at all though), I also was a gymnast (school team), trained at least twice a week; went swimming with my brother every Saturday, rode a bicycle everyday and played badminton quite often as well.  So, I was fit, skinny.  Now, if I walked up 20 steps quick I'd start panting!  But swimming is OK, cycling should still be OK, Yoga is OK, dancing to the right music with a few pints of Guinness is OK as well.  Hehehe

Anyway, we had an awesome time out of the office and hey, don't get jealous, let me know if you want to join the company hahaha

The Venetian Job

My Goodness, my job!

The Nightmare Before Christmas...

Personally, I like this one most... and I want to dedicate this to all the guys in Podium Fitout Team who's been laid off -- most of them will wake up on Christmas day and find themselves jobless... WHAT AN ARRANGEMENT!

Burns Night

After finished telling you about how it all began, it's now time to tell you a little bit of the new experience I had in Macau...

Burns Night - I heard about it the first time of my life, strangely, here in Asia, Macau to be exact (which has nothing much to do with Scotland)... it's a day when the Scots everywhere take time out to honour a national icon - Robert Burns (poet, balladeer and Scotland's favourite son). Each year on January 25, the great man's presumed birthday - Burns Night, whether it's a full-blown Burns Supper or a quiet night of reading poetry, Burns Night is a night for all Scots but that's the day the world paid homage to the great Scottish man...

I wanted to experience it with Adrian so I bought 2 tickets. This is all new to him too. We were there, saw a lot of familiar faces and met a lot of new people, heard a lot of alien languages - Scottish... hmm... I could only understood like 30% or less of what they were saying... poems were read, great food and wines and Piping in the Haggis... and most of all Scots men wearing kilts! (some sort of skirt hahahaha - I heard that they don't wear anything underneath!! wowow!!) And they even have a furry clutch "handbag" on their waists!! hahaha!

After the dinner, it was dancing, and singing as well!! And then we decided that we hadn't had enough partying after the event was officially over, we went to Lion's Bar at MGM! Unbelievably, Doug had became the hottest guy in the bar - girls went up to him to talk to him and taking pictures with him! Well, Doug is the guy with the most gray hair in the photos here... I think it's because of his kilt, mm... actually it was the whole package!! hahaha!!!


I thought Steve (the one in the middle) was supposed to be more attractive than Doug... well at the least he's better looking! I think it's probably because of the bottle of Whiskey in his hand! Haha!!

When we finally got home, it was 4:30am! Almost hammered and exhausted! but guess what, the best thing was, my mom wasn't there nagging me (ya ya ya, I'm at my early thirties and she still nags me... she calls me just to nag me sometimes hahahahaha but hey, despite the fact that she nags, she's still the best mom la!) and my boyfriend actually did all those crazy things with me!! hahaha!!! How could I not love being here?????
