Annual Dinner 2007

My company held its Annual Dinner for 2007 at Menara Yayasan Tun Razak on 15th June 2007. It was a nice dinner, and much more enjoyable as compared with the previous year, as the MC this year (Dee) made the event much more lively and enjoyable. Main thing is, at least we can catch the jokes !

This was the backdrop for our Annual Dinner. Makes you think of Halloween Theme right ? Well, actually, our theme was Tales & Fantasies ! Vast difference huh ? The Annual Dinner had a great opening show. Bit blurr here....

My whole office participated in the Staff Variety Show. All 10 of us (including my boss) had a role to play. We did a sketch on "Legend Of The Moon Festival". Aside from the hiccups from the lousy sound system, I think we did a pretty good job, even though at times we forgot our script ! Hehe.... Here is a group photo taken where we were all in costumes. Nice ? Ms. Flinstone is not in the play, but she was our Props Master and Make Up Artist.

Guess what ? We won 3rd prize ! Yeah.... we got RM500 for our effort ! Even though during the process there were the normal bickerings and such, in the end, we came together and did our best. Here are some other photos of my other colleagues who came in great costumes that day.

These bunch were in a play about Mermaids.

Here's me with Batgirl, who is my lunch partner, and the rest are my friends in the Corporate Office.

Red Riding Hood, Sailormoon, and Captain Jane Sparrow

And this year, I had a great surprise. I, who usually goes home empty handed, actually won a lucky draw ! And to me, it was a great prize. The prize was RM500 Jusco Vouchers. Hehe.... I can get what I like from Jusco ! Hahahahahah..........

This year I really enjoyed myself, having won the lucky draw and also because our group won 3rd prize in the Staff Variety Show. My colleague is already thinking about next year's show !

Mutant Lychee

Last week, I was enjoying some nice lychees when I saw this weird-shaped lychee. So, I took some photos of it, as compared with a normal lychee. Actually, it's a "twin", but the 2nd lychee didn't get to grow normally, so it just grows like a siamese twin in the 1st lychee. Weird leh...

Normal lychee


Mutant lychee

Comparison view

Not only is the mutant lychee about twice the size of a normal one, it is also lopsided. When I peeled the lychee and ate it, there were 2 seeds inside, one small and one big.

Think I will turn into a mutant after eating the mutant lychee ?

Stick-To-The-Wall

As I was walking towards my car in the office carpark, I saw this !
The car was TOUCHING the wall ! I stared at it open-mouthed for about 1/2 a minute, then I decided that I need to put this in my blog. Must be company car lar.... otherwise where got anyone treat their cars like this ? The thing is, he or she actually left it like that without even thinking of moving it forward slightly.

Growing Up

My "fatt choy" tree is growing nicely. Now, the new shoot is even taller than the older one ! Bring me luck.... bring me luck........

Here's a side view of my tree......... Here's a view of the nice new branch. My ah ma also jealous my tree growing so nicely, hehe.

Well, hopefully it will grow to be strong and healthy, like its owner !

My Ferraris !

From 3rd May 2007 until 2nd July 2007, Shell Malaysia is offering a Ferrari model with every RM40 worth of Shell petrol, purchased at either RM3.99 (with V-Power Racing) or RM7.99 (Shell Super). And altogether there are 6 models.

My kucilek Kancil can only hold a MAXIMUM of RM40 full tank, that also the tank have to be reaaaaalllly almost empty, otherwise it will stop around RM37 or R38. So in order for me to collect all 6 Ferrari models, it will probably take me around 6 - 8 weeks, coupled with having to risk running out of petrol in order to be able to fill up RM40 ! Luckily, I have family members (my sis and bro-in-law) who have cars that consume lotsa petrol and have a big petrol tank.

So, within 4 days, I actually got all 6 models. Hahahahahahaha........ And here they are....

WARNING : DO NOT DROOL, DO NOT THINK YOU CAN STEAL THEM.

Looks Like I've Got Greenfingers After All ......

During CNY 2007, I brought a small pot of plant to my office. It's a "get-rich-tree" (fatt choy shue). Well, after some time, I noticed that the back of the leaves had some black spots. I asked Mom and she said that probably the plant is having some sort of disease, and may die soon. Well, I decided to let it determine whether it wants to live or die.

Anyway, as adviced, I only water it like once a week or in five days, depending on my mood. Sometimes I put in a lot of water, until the holding plate is full, other times I only pour some into the soil.

But then, few days back, I saw a new shoot growing from the middle, and yesterday, leaves started coming out. Hahaha...... so today I took some photos of it. Hopefully, like its namesake, it will make its owner "FATT", not "FAT" ! Hehehehe.......

How true

Someone sent me this through an email, and I find it to be true....

" Apples & Wine

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.

The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with."

Hahaha.... don't you all agree with me ? Share this with all the apples and grapes that you know.
