Wah the ma bu at ke training yesterday.....shiok!
Today morning can feel the effects already!

Today was a superbly slack day......till evening came....slept all the way until i forgot there's this Singapore-indonesian Youth Cooperation Programme organised by NYC I had to attend wif Shamu at Rendevous Hotel.....Hmmm that place brings back memories of my poly graduation dinner n dance...

Its been a long time since I dressed so formally liao......Long sleeved shirt, pants, even have to put on tie....

But worse is that today then i realised even though i have footwear for every terrain....(trekking, adventure racing, leisure, wushu, etc...) I dun even have a leather shoe to wear to a formal event!!
Ended up wearing my bro's size 41 leather shoes....(mine's 45! Ouch!)

A minor setback........
Followed by.......

Was travelling along Bukit Panjang rd when my bike just decided that i needed more fun n just died on me without any warning in the middle of a three lane road......
Feels quite lame when u have to stand in the middle of the road n wait for all the vehicles to finish moving by before u can push it to the sidewalk.
Of all times to die on me!! Once on the pavement, immediately started my emergency CPR procedure(by trying to start the bike using the step starter). After much stepping, there's still no sign of pulse from the engine.....by then i was perspiring all over n my feet hurt from the cinderella sized shoes!! Even started 'surgery' changed the spark plug on the spot n chipped a small part of my teeth doing that!!!! Must have looked strange in formal dressing n fixing a bike in the middle of the pavement....

My scooter: Pronounced dead at 6.55 pm (gave up liao lah)

End up biah cab down n was late by 20 mins but at least my pespirations was dried by then....The uncle was quite chatty n even learnt a few life lessons from him! (.......its all a matter of perception....)
After clearing my hands of soot, went straight to the conference room. Wah so paiseh, heng the MP giving speech never tiao me for making such a late entrance!

At the buffet dinner, we got to socialise n exchange namecards wif the Indonesian Youth leaders from various organisations as well as local ones...
Actually intended to sit wif Shamu (since both of us representing ECO) n this girl from SAJC, haha can chee hong liao!!(if she wasn't that young!) But found that my seat was stolen when i returned wif my food.....haiz....
Ended up seating wif the organisers.......no problems adapting though since i've been intruding into alot of events since poly days.

The Indonesian reps are quite frenly but communications wif them does have some lag time since their basic language is malay after all. Got to tok wif some ah pehs from my table n only then do i realised they are actually big wigs from various orgs...

Since poly, one of the things i cannot tahan is politics.....all the fake faces, maneuvering......

Tonight is no diff.....cannot stand the fake laughters coming from the table behind me where the MP is seating.......bueh tahan manz....
