Morning Tea has now started becoming a tradition at my work place.  It’s come to the point where next month, rather then just my team which consists of 7 people, it will spread to the entire team of 27.  What was a mini project with a fruit and cheese platter which next month spread to a big lunch banquet and I’ve been delegated to organise the whole food fest since I’ve been doing quite well might I add for our desktop team.  It’s nice to watch something that was just small become bigger on a larger scale and to have the people that you work with, appreciate the effort and in turn appreciate each other’s effort and contribution to the work program.

I’ve already started planning and it’ll basically consist of Turkish pides, salads, fruit platters and finally the Christmas cake which I hope will blow everyone’s mind away. This year has been great and it’s been all about change and adapting.  A big part of me being happy has come from my current work place and it’s much more better that I feel more at home and able to do things like this, to show my appreciation.  Thank you very much 2008 thus far !

A funny but awkward moment occured today, and it makes me giggle at the thought of it.  I wanted to show off my bag of jelly beans today to my co worker since a friend of mine had sent them to me straight from the US of A.  It had many different flavours and of course the bag was huge, so no sooner did I get into work that I was showing her my bag of goodies.  This is how the conversation went down:

Ms S: Oh dude, that package is like huge, I can’t believe how big it is
Me: Yeah I know and look how much it has and how colourful it is
Ms S: Hmm I think I’m gonna have a look and see what you’ve got

From that dialogue, there was nothing so much wrong with it, but picture a guy who was sitting behind us and the angle he was looking at us from.  His view was that I was standing up and while my co worker had half her body covered.  Meaning that from where he stood and what he was hearing, Ms S was playing around with my “package”, no sooner did he hear this that he had to explain this to us.  To which we realised the extent of our conversation and how wrong it looked, quite hilarious I might add but definitely a embarrasing moment.  If this didn’t make sense then screw it, I’ll just stick with you had to be there to understand.

 Vu Quang Nguyen has changed his status to “in a relationship”

The minute someone (let’s say me in this case) announces anything and changes their status to being in a relationship, you’ve basically just started the rumour mill and everyone now who is connected to you, wants to know what, when, where, and how??  Then of course all my chat programs that I have installed like MSN, GMail chat and more, go off, and everyone now wants first hand accounts of this relationship.  All I can say for now is that I am loving this feeling inside of me, I’m not sure of what lies ahead, but I do promise that I will learn from my past mistakes and just think more with my head rather then you know where.

I have always wanted to be a gentleman, well at least the better man then what my father could’ve been.  I remember growing up watching him and the way he treated women who were with him.  Having witnessed all that, I made up my mind right there and then, that, that would never be me.  Some things over time may change, but not this one.  Which is why I’ll always appreciate a woman’s worth and treat them how they wanted to be treated.

I failed to show up due to circumstances out of my control, but regardless I am happy for the both of them and wish them love and happiness for the rest of their lives together.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to inform you that Fred’s Urban Love Suite is currently closed for renovations.  We apologise to our patrons for causing any inconvenience and look forward to reopening to a new and improved dining experience.

I have always been told by my peers at work, that I have impeccable phone manners and a good voice to match.  I kindly reply with the notion that’s it’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice.  Which is to say the least that this morning, my phone manners were somewhat different as I was more catering to a particular person’s need. Yeah, I’ll just leave it at that ….

I am going to participate in Mo’vember after having tossed a coin and having the outcome speak for itself.  Judging from this picture with my little sister, I am gonna look like one funky scrub with one unsuitable moustache.  It’ll be worth the humiliation though seeing as the cause is for research into prostate cancer and depression.
