showdown in office

early in the morning there is some quarrels going on in my office....

there is a new colleague who joined abt 1mth plus ago.... being nobody to understudy, i think he is having a hard time trying to catch up. his post is suppose to b project management. all the contract projects will b followed closely by him. cost down... schedule... blah blah blah.....

for the past 1mth.. whenever i m in the office his manager, who is a unfortunately or fortunately a lady boss.. has been scolding him.... scolding n scolding.... dun even noe if she ever taught him wat to do or not..... anyway the manager went to ask for feedbacks from the procurement.... hahahahaha .... but wat the procurement said was correct.... he is here onli for 1 mth n no understudy.... surely pple needed time to adapt n pick up the pile of shit....

frankly speaking la.... i think the manager is a problem herself.... they haf changed like 4 to 5 project management for the past 1 yr.... if u tell mi 1 or 2 dan might b the staff problem.... 4 to 5 leh.... management shld seriously consider abt this........is there a problem wif the pple the empoly or the manager?

so tis morning the new guy flared up..... he shouted back at the manager.... dunno the whole detail... but he complained to mi during afternoon.... he had to work OT and the manager says any OT will need her approval.... so he agreed and everyday he will submit his request for OT and the manager dun wan to sign cos he doing alot of OT..... so he got pissed.... when the manager keep wanting datas and expect pple to work OT for free..... so he shouted back and the manager ask him to go into the office to talk.....
if i m the guy... i think i will also b pissed la.... kaoz.... anyway those in my office who has worked wif her nvr like her style.... she is like those type tat show good records to management la but by sacrificing others.....

cleared my ippt!

cleared my ippt lo...... got a silver for it.... nothing to b proud of though....
i had a veri bad timing for 2.4km.... onli managed to scrapped a 3 point for that.....

i took my 1st ippt last yr aft 6yrs of ord..... never done any jogging or training for 6 long yrs.....
went for my ippt and it was a period where the haze was veri bad..... when i took the test, the psi level has exceeded the passable level.... but the PTI said those whose window is closing will still need to take it else they will haf to sign up for RT..... so LL i took the test... managed to clear a pass....

dunno y.... aft ocs... ippt seems like a scary event............. dunno y everytime in process i will feel veri gan jiong... thinking back 6yrs ago....ippt is like everyday thing....kaoz now i need to get worried for ippt..... wat the......

anyway this yr i got silver for my ippt.... got abit nervous in the start.... but manage to clear all the static station will 5 points except standing broad jump wif 4 points.... i was amazed by the technology now.... everything is automated... even for the situp station, chinup, standing broad jump and shuttle run.... u juz need to place ur tag and start whenever u r readi.... the system will do all the counting n timing.... power sia.... jus 1 yr and the change is so big.....

so aft the static station came the hurdle for mi....... 2.4km... i think tis is a killer for most pple.... the chin up n 2.4km..... i was sitting there waiting for my turn when i saw the timing for the 1st detail.... the guy came back at 2min40sec in the 1st round which i think is super good sia.....

my turn came ...... as i started to run.... jus taking out 1st few steps i was alreadi panting for breath and my legs felt realli soft like beancurd.... no joke.... probably aft the shuttle run n sit up i guess........ i realli felt like giving up ..... dan i manage to finish the 1st round.... looking at the timing i think i shld b able to pass so i kept on running..... feeling more warmed up and momentom was right..... but i was still feeling breathless.... to distract my shaqness, i ask those pple who were walking to carry on jogging.... hahahaha they mus b damn pissed wif mi.....on the last round back i think the guy behind mi was trying to keep up wif my pace.... he caught up wif mi and dan jogged beside mi all the way.... at the last stretch which is a down slope... i turned n tell him to chiong all the way n he nodded back in reply..... i started to sprint dwn the slope but he was still behind.... onli aft the slope he start to sprint n we cross the finishing line together..... he was 1 detail b4 mi i guess..... i manage to clear at 11min 40sec.... pass can liao la.... gold is a far away dream now.... the timing to get gold is below 10min.... for cat y.... tat is like wat i can do onli when i was in ocs n when i was 22yrs old.... now i old liao leh.... how to train under 10mins..... gif up la.... take 200 not bad liao.....

Had a short briefing of our upcoming Italy trip dis afternoon. The person mentioned that there's an optional tour at a very beautiful place at Capri Island, Blue Grotto, which we might be able to join if the weather is good.

Out of curiosity, i did a research on this and i would say that beautiful is an UNDERstatement!!!

A magic no word or image could ever describe. It is a 60-metre-long, 25-metre-wide cavity; to get into it, you need to take one of the small rowing boats moored outside the cave; since the opening is very narrow, you will have to lie on the bottom of the boat to get into the grotto (in case the sea grows rough, boat service is suspended). There is actually a bigger but completely submerged opening; this very underwater entrance allows the blue coloration of the water inside the grotto, due to a phenomenon of sunlight reflection. There is an almost surreal view in the inside, the transparency and the blue colour of the water give us the impression of navigating through a clear sky, and the boats seem to float on a fantastic universe.

Outside the cave:

Inside the cave(awesome isnt it!):

I really really really hope that we can go for this tour when we're dere. Will pray hard for it, and also there wont be a sudden high tide when we're inside the grotto. wahaha! =D

Chanced upon dis pic of Duomo di Milano, which is a cathedral church. Looks like a castle! Always been wanting to see such artefacts(no?) in person! keke...

Italy

I really cant believe im actually making plans to visit Italy so fast.
Lyn and myself have decided to shift forward our year end trip to this Oct end. and instead of visiting Japan, we choose Italy!!!

Better and more exciting destination for me!!!!!!!!
We are finally doing the booking tomorrow morning...if nothing goes wrong.... (Keeping fingers crossed)

Imagine visiting Milan!!!!! Any designer brands there are cheaper den Singapore......
.
.

and

The Colosseum in Rome.


.
.
.

The Vatican City!! St. Peter's Basilica!....

.

.

Renaissance began in Florence in the 14th century!.....Pisa.......Leaning tower of pisa!!!

.

.

.

.

And Venice!!!!!! Always wanted to visit Venice since i was in secondary school. A ride on the Gondolas for sure!

The Cobbled streets...along the river..just walking and chatting with Lyn, only walking...

I can see myself there already.

Im sure many has heard about the sinking of Venice.. yes it is true. The city is built on top of millions of wooden piles that were sunk into the marshy ground about a thousand years ago. The marsh is the problem.

Although recent studies has showed that it is no longer sinking (Profesor Kay, can you cfm this?) . Some experts say that the best way to protect Venice is to physically lift the city to a greater height above sea level - by pumping water into the soil underneath the city. And, the Italy PM started some sort of a national project looking at to "lift" the whole city. But this project carried out in year 2003, is expected to lift Venice temporarily and protect the city for only 100 years only. Of cuz they are looking at a more permanent "lifting" system.

Im sure the Italians can do something to save the city but meanwhile visit Venice before its gone~hahahhaa......(just in case, they didnt managed to save it)

Off to find my merchant of Venice, Antonio. CIAO~!

Cel.
