in s'pore, national day holiday is only one day, august 9. once an impt day for me, once a day to cause me anguish, now a day for me to enjoy fireworks. ever since maybe 2 or 3 years ago, s'pore started having this fireworks festival every august, getting teams from different parts of the world to come up with brilliant fireworks display, ever since tt the fireworks festival has been sort of a staple, and in true s'pore spirit, every year sees teams trying to outdo the previous one. not tt i'm actually complaining, i LOVE fireworks, the transient beauty, the way it lights up the entire sky, the way it can make the young and the elderly stop and go WOW... and the way the scent of smoke lingers after the performance, reminding you tt something amazing just happened, making you just want more... but of course the giam siap part of me always wonders how much $$$ the gahmen is spending on all these...
but this is not really a post on fireworks, though i suspect in the days to come there'll be alot of pictures of fireworks... but yah, my National Day month just started, was a busy week this week, 1 management committee meeting, 1 board meeting (so in like 2 days i got to see ALOT of big shots and even attend a meeting with CEO in the posh board room...)wed attended training with management pilots (quite a cool bunch who don't always talk politically correctly), with smaller fries (who are oh so funny), attended fire warden course (fire chemistry, classes of fires, types of extinguishers, evacuation of paths, and how to operate a fire extinguisher (fun but i suck at tt btw)) and now it's friday!!! boss not arnd cos he's conducting training, so tt's y i'm happily blogging now.
will be happily free the next three weeks, as in dunnid to do work. next week my boss and secretary all on leave, she's going to cape town with her family for holiday! *envy* so i'm the only person left to jaga the whole dept. following two weeks i'm on orientation, so will just go arnd different places to visit and find out more abt the operations of this gigantic organisation, hopefully tt makes me feel more like i belong. it's so freaking huge tt it takes a while for me to get used to, but it's getting better liao...
the weekend is here! more fireworks, national day holiday next week etc, so tt shd be fun. too bad my family not organising our annual national day bbq this time arnd cos of bad timing... cos for the longest time i've been associating national day with bbq! hehe... i just love food.
speaking of food, friend and i have started a food blog. it's still in it's initial stages, and i haven't actually posted anything yet. the link is in the sidebar, so go check it out if u're free. and if any of u are interested to contribute, feel free to contact me, then i'll pass u the passwords and wat not. food is good, but makes me spend money!!! and i need to save up for a gift for a special person later this mth... suggestions anybody?
