The Part about Sucky Assignments at Work

130041JAN2007LT

I so hate being involved in the Small Tankers Evaluation study i'm doing. For once I wish that this project doesn't see the light of day and that the big boss in Sweden doesn't order the ships down to our playground. I really dun care if they dun make money over here. Let them stay in their northern palaces. These 2 are ice classed, better there than here. Saves me the agravation too.

Change after change, voyage calculations-one after another. Think the ShipNet system hates me for re-calculating those bloddy CPP/Chems/Palm Oil simulations. Well I hate 'em too. Exasperatingly & irritatingly slow. Bugger, hope to hell that WPB doesn' ask too many questions.

FUCK... i wish i was concentrating on the MR fleet instead of these 3 ships. Alot more to learn and then i'm still stuck with this evaluation. Bro already giving me chance- just hope he understands and realises that I wanna help him out and the rest of the team-instead of being cooped by my MKT/WPB for this stupid study. IMHO, should have asked professionals to do the reseach insteadof me. Wads a industry greenhorn got to learn here? Very boh liao...

Well, hopefully I can look forward to the trip to Norway. 1st time travelling by myself (Biz Class!!!) and looking fwd to meet the ppl I've been working with albeit corresponding via email and phone and yahoo. Hope to learn more about the industry and esp the chartering research part. Now that one I'm interested in. For the trip, have already bought (& claimed) about SGD$500 bucks worth of winter clothing. Got a double layer jacket for -20 degrees weather and a nice black trenchcoat plus winter pants and thermals. I ain't a fashionista, but i think i'll look good in them - LOL.

The Part about The New Year of 2007

Hi All, Happy New Year 2007!! Here's wishing one and all a better year ahead.

Had a nice X'mas...plus all the nice presents and all the CLUBBING!!! Yeah...lots of it...at a single go within a span of 3 weeks! Started on X'mas Day..then New Year's then last Sat and Yesterdae...

Drunk lots of alchohol and got my groove groovin... Alchohol nearly KOed me last nite (Sunday) though. Drunk too fast and too much. Fortunately I had activated my Zen mode (yes...in the middle of the Club- St James Power House BTW) while the music was blaring and allowed the alchohol to mellow out in my bloodstream. Was back to normal within 30 mins and boogeying my butt thru the rest of the nite. Fortunately-have taken the day off today to clear my body of the alchohol...

2006 was a a good year. Alot of learning, learning on the job etc and other lessons in life. Now that I've taken care of my career (in a way) its time now to focus on myself. With being 'selfless' for sometime now, guess that being selfish for a short time/bits here and there is owed to myself to balance my life. Hope that all reading will understand.

To my friends reading this...u know who u are. Its also time to say thanks for being there for me. My ex SJAB kids, clubbing kakis, close friends and SJAB colleagues and now even my working colleagues and aquaitances - thank you all for the lessons and music. We've been thru some rough times, some angry, some happy and sad. Thanks for loving me all the same.

The Part about Green Tea Ice Cream

202327AUG2006LT

My sin has been found out...only Haagen-Dazs is able to steal me away...

Norain has her Ben & Jerry's...I have my Green Tea Haagen Dazs thank you very much. Strong Japanese Oo-cha flavour. Sweet mixed with a tang of bitter aftertaste. No other greentea flavoured ice creas is comparable...not Gelare's not even Shangri-La hotel's !

Already have I finished one tub on my own during a few occasions. Next I'll think i'll experiment the other flavours... I know that their strawberry is not too sweet and it has a natural flavour to it. Or maybe go for killer chocolate??? hmmz

Oh heck...b-dae is coming...think i'll snog onto a few tubs for breakfast, lunchie & dindin. To heck wif the diet plan for the one dae...i know fa'sure i'm entitled to sinning it out...
