Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado about Nothing is of one of Shakespeare's best known, light-hearted comedies. The play follows the obstacle filled courtships of two romances - Hero and Claudio, and Benedick and Beatrice. The brilliance of the main plot witnesses Hero and Claudio falling in love at first sight; but as with any immediate attraction, they have a lot to learn about each other. This is accompanied with the humorous bickering of Beatrice and Benedick in their “merry war” of the sexes.
The quintessential romantic comedy is layered with witty and hilarious character interaction between the two couples, as well as a streak of darkness from Don John who conspires against Hero and Claudio’s wedding. In the end though, does it all turn out to be "much ado about nothing"?
Seeems interesting and I have been wanting to catch a show at the Fort Canning Park.
will check it out and see if anyone wants to join me.

Crazy Colleagues and stress @ work
Lately I have been very stress @ work till I can't sleep well & my body is aching.
One of the reason is my boss has been instructed by our regional MD to be shifted down to our level and he has to choose the conference room beside our sales dept. My boss is a micro-managed type of boss and so you can imagine how stressful it is when you have a boss that is sitting beside you, watching you every day and coming out of his office at any time of the day to disturb you.
Then early this week, we have in place a new software called "salesforce.com" and training was conducted for 2 days. At the end of the training, it became clear to all the sales that this new "toy" is a garget for our boss to monitor our sales movement/activity on a daily basis. Furthermore, the new "toy" only allows us to visit NEW client every day and input our data in. How to we find new client or visit new client every day!?
Enough of my boss and the new "toy"...
Im beginning to be very afraid of my team mates. after knowing them for a few months, I find that they are actually "two-headed" snake type of person.
When we are together as a team without boss around, they can tell you "don't do this, make it short and sweet etc"...then when we meet up with the boss...F***!!! they have done the report or do it in the system without you knowing and boss will praise them instead and making people like me looks bad in front of boss.
It is very stressful to work in such an enviroment right??
Haiz...I think I need a break soon.

Half day trip to Pengerang
It has been years since I took a bumboat.
So, last Sunday, we organised a trip to Pengerang to have a seafood lunch.
Changi Ferry Terminal has changed so much and I almost could not recognise the place when I was there but one thing for sure remain the same is the Bumboat. They are still the same when I took them when I was a kid!
The trip was indeed worth going as we have ordered so many dishes such as baby lobster, chilli crab, butter steam prawn, oyster egg, steam fish and stir-fried vegetables etc and the whole bill is only RMB320!
I will be going back again for more seafood but the next trip will be driving there instead of taking the bumboat. :-)

Ping An Qiao
Last Sat after I went to Diana's hse for a good gossip session with all my ex collesgues from Schenker, I head to Bukit Batok (Ah Gui's warehouse) to see if the "Ping An Qiao" has been set up.
Upon arrival, I found that they have only finished painting and have not do the lightings yet.
2 hours later, it is finally done and it is one and only "Ping An Qiao" in Singapore (a design created by Calvin's shifu) for their upcoming big temple event at this month end.
Drinks with Kurt Dalko
Kurt Dalko is in town again. I have not see him since his last visit in Singapore 2 years ago.
This trip, he's only in Singapore for Join Sales Visit for only 2 days and after that he will fly to Malaysia and Vietnam before he flys back to Germany.
So, yesterday, after checking with Richard (My MD), I have suggested to go to Emerald Hill, "NO.5" for some drinks and light dinner.
All the sales went, except for Chang and all of us have a great time last night, enjoying our drinks and chatting with Kurt.
