Great Way to End May...

For the whole of May, I logged only 15 entries. Many of which were videos and craps I posted because I was really really very worked up or too busy to write...

From this month on, my schedule looks like I'll have more breathing space.... That means I'm back to my other regular stuffs like tidying up and juicing up all my pet programs...


'Great way' to end May:
Last Fri, we had a divisional outing when everyone in the division get to go off after 3.30pm for some good old get-together-and-have-some-fun-thingey...
ET and I got stucked in office till after 6pm.... For me, I had to finish the class and send out some graphics for a AD.... With the freaking slow networks and low RAM on my station was not very helpful....
Doing the ending for that class has always been a challenge, cos I have to decide who gets to graduate and move on to the next level, who has to do make-up and so ....before the class ends... Without my colleagues like JK, CL and AL, its no joke !!! The latter has gone to the party while the former 2 was on leave....

By the time ET and I ran out of office, it way past 6.30pm, just nice for the evening peak traffic....
I was very tired, hungry and my mind was not thinking straight...
ET too had a long day, and she was having a tiff with her hubby, that did not help much with the mood while we drove to Bt Batok...

I was thinking of CDAN throughout the drive.... but it was Civil Service Club..... sigh...

Then came a call....... someone got arrowed to buy beer and cigar...

He conveniently diverted the arrow to me while I was busy negotiating the slow and frustrating traffic in Bt Batok.... looking out for those L plate drivers from BBDC, hogging the roads....

I cannot react in time... but I took his 'orders' and cracked my head trying to look for those Asahi Beers .... I knew who placed those orders ..... I could hear in the background....

I kept telling myself... its at CDAN and its out of the way, so I obliged.....

Then again, the devil in me told me why should I oblige while he was trying to rub shoulders with the chiefs, trying to score brownie points, got arrowed and then he diverted it to me?...
Why should I help him?... He was there since 4pm ?... Had games and was already eating and having a good time?....

ET and I was very hungry, tired and frustrated with the traffic and he can't show any empathy and understanding?... GOSH !! Why can't he drive out to buy?...

My mind spinned to the latter..... I got real mad and pissed....

Like the way I was brought up, I do first and question later.... I got the beer, but not the cigars...

Headed to CDAN..... only when we were there, that I found out to my anger, we were in the wrong club. But ET has been trying to tell me, but I was not listening.... cos I was already boiling within... Neither have she been to any of the 2 clubs before....so she too thought we were at the right place...

From there, I headed to CSC..... dashed a couple of red lights.... in record timing !

I told myself what I wanted to say when I see him..... And I did...
First thing when he saw me, he tried to apologize but I gave it to him point blank!
It was way past 8pm..... A hungry man is a angry man !

Then my chief saw me, I said 'hello' to him and to the other presidents too... trying hard to put on a plastic smile.... But my face spells it all.... I am pissed ! ...And I don't care ! I dumped the beers and walked off to another group...

Its CSC and West Mall is just opposite, you drive and you get the arrow for trying to rub shoulders with the big boys, you should take it.... don't delegate downwards to me !

I must say I wanted to walked off the party after 10mins, I was in no mood to eat or drink then.... But both my bosses came looking for me moments later .... they knew what happened...

For them, I stayed on, just so the whole group looked good and intact..... I expressed to them my unhappiness...

True to what another colleague has mentioned while we drove, my chief was waiting for the both of us to arrive before he gave his speech.... For that, I appreciate his kindness and understanding... He thanked me in his speech for helping to bring 2 dozens of beer for the party...

I downed a few cans of beer to cool things downs but was to tired to eat much thereafter...

I have learned to be wiser next time ......
