Was queuing for a taxi at Raffles City last night when this youth with a huge tattoo on his right arm approached me with a laminated letter, his wedding photo and a Neoprint picture of his wife and young kid. I was trying to sms Booze Queen and Iceman regarding the breakdown of the MRT […]
Heard Whisperer complaining about it first… two days in a row… first she was locked out of the intranet the very first time she tried to log in. The second day, she was working halfway when her account locked up on its own. This morning, I tried logging onto the intranet as per normal.. but […]
It’s only Tues but I feel as though I’ve spent all the energy available for work. Cache has shown himself to be an efficient worker.

Someone sent this clip to me some time back. I thought it was really cute and funny. Do you think I could train Horlicks to do this? Heh.
Horlicks amazes me. She’s a free spirit with little care for anything except seizing the moment and erm, doing whatever she wants. Like sprawling on the floor asleep… never mind if the water container is in her way… She has little regard for humans too. Heh. Two weeks back, Iceman was sitting on […]
A temp staff (who just finished NS and is waiting to start uni) will be joining us on Monday to help out in my dept. I’m supposed to assign things to him to do but I really can’t think of much things. Iceman suggested making him buy kopi and curry puff… which I guess might […]
