Poison Ivy by Fly to the Sky

Heard this song and instantly fell in like with it. I like how the duo voices harmonize each other. Enjoy.

Temporary bliss

There was a pay less book clearance on Sunday. I managed to persuade hubby to drive me there. He was quite reluctant bcos 1) I complained about headache earlier in the morning 2) he knows I would lose any sense of time and would take my own sweet time or worse, forever browsing through all the titles.

It wasn't until about 5pm he agreed to take me there after I convinced him that my head didn't hurt that much even though I felt as if I was on some kind of drug - a groggy feeling. But the moment I stepped into the room full of books, my head sort of cleared on its own and I was temporarily cured. I had about 75 minutes to browse through before they end the sale.

Needless to say, I am very please with my purchase as they were very, very cheap. No doubt these are old titles, but it doesn't really matter to me. As long as I got to read and own them. Books always have this good effect on me. Don't you just love the smell of books?

Okay, the internet link is acting up again so I better end this entry to ensure this get posted. Have a good week everyone.

Let's Bowl

I haven't bowl for the longest time. I even forget how to hold the ball correctly. Don't even understand how the scoring goes. So when the Finance Unit asked us to join their get together bowling tournament, I went reluctantly. But I'm glad I did bcos we had so much fun laughing at each others ridiculous game attics. Even the primary school students who played a few rows next to us were 10x better than all of us combined. But of cos' we got more style ^_^ especially when one us got 'accidentally' strike all the pins lol

No Asshole Rule - Robert Sutton

No I didn't read this book. I wish I did. It was introduced by a colleague in our monthly meeting during the book review session.

It was 20 minutes session full of laughter! Either from embarrassment or self aware that we ourselves are a bunch of a**hole or recognizing some characters amongst us are certified a**hole.

Although the title is indeed amusing but the author Bob Sutton as he is known in his blog really discuss the menacing affect and the damage of an a**hole in a workplace or in an organisation. The book also has an ARSE (A**hole Rating Self-Exam (ARSE) - Are you a certified a**hole?) exam that will help you identify yourself and if there is a scope, tell you to improve yourself. So don't let the title fool you. He really believed in the title so much that when a well-known publishing company agreed to publish the book with one condition - that he changed the title; he did - change the publisher!

So next time around when you walk into Starbucks and heard somebody order a "decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n'-Low and one NutraSweet," - oh please be aware that you are at a presence of a MAJOR a**hole :0

Say what?

First and foremost my apologies for not updating my blog. Thank you so much for returning to check on me. I confess I'm not 100% myself lately. A bit under the weather, I'm afraid.

It all started about 2 weeks ago when I woke up in the morning and realised that my hearing was somehow 50% muffled. It felt as if you are on a high altitude like in a plane or when you are driving up on a hill whereby you need to constantly swallow your saliva to unblock your ears. But I wasn't sick or having a fever, maybe a slight sore throat but not too bad. Anyways hubby forced me to go to the clinic. My usual panel clinic was not open so I went to a different one. GP confirmed my ears were not blocked due to wax (yup, that was what I was accused of by my dear husband :p). I was given antibiotic to combat infection (of what the GP didn't care to explain -maybe thinking I'm too stupid to understand) and I was really not in the mood to argue - yes Mr. Doctor just try that medical jargon on me and see whether any of it that I don't understand.

To cut the long winded story short, even after the antibiotic, ear block and giddy pills were long gone unfortunately the on and off one sided headache, neck pain and constant hearing block still persist. Today for example, my left head was threatening to explode whilst my hearing was again muffled but I managed to ignore the pain simply bcos I just have too many things to settle. So sometimes when I reached home I was too tired even to lift one eye lid open. As what is happening now.

I better end this now and get the much needed sleep. Nighty nite everybody.

A Perfect Day - Richard P Evans

"Just like that. For 7 years I've given everything to this crummy job and you throw me out for some airhead blonde you met 5 months ago. Who's next? Your wife?"
I walked to the door then turned back. "I just realized why everyone calls you Stu. It's short for stupid".

A Perfect Day is a story about a man who has to rediscover his priorities after finding money and fame ...

This is the first time I read a book by Richard Evans and I must say that I like his style of writing. Though the story is nothing new but his inevitable twist is cleverly written and I'm now a fan.
