Hello November!
It's my favourite month of the year again!
As a child, this month meant two things - end of examinations (i.e school holidays!) and also my birthday
The start of November is usually when the sweltering hot weather in Singapore starts to take a turn for the rainy monsoon (hello 25 degrees wet weather!) season and Christmas decoration starts for the shopping malls
. Preparation for Christmas shopping and gatherings starts to gain momentum as well. For the Chinese folks, Chinese New Year is usually just 2 months away. November always seem to be the starting month for an extended long period of celebration, from my birthday to Christmas to Chinese New Year in late January or early February.
As I grow older, it becomes a period of reflection of the achievements and pitfalls of the year, a moment to give thanks and a moment to internalize what can be done better in the coming year. Office activity also begins to slow this month, giving me more time to plan my work schedule in the months to come.
So hello there my favourite month of the year, please be good to me!

Best.apology.ever
Backstory: Johnson & Johnson wanted to apologize to all the o.b tampons users out there (missing on shelves since 2009 due to supply chain interruptions). And they did it with an awesomely cheesy love song.

Chronicle of the Chinese General
I've been having weird dreams these last few days. And the strangest of them all is the fact that they were all linked together.
It started a few nights ago - where the backdrop of the dream was placed against ancient China. How do I know? Based on the surroundings, people riding horses and sitting on carts as forms of transport. The houses were old and big and well the characters in my dream appeared to be Chinese. I didn't remember much of the earlier portions of the dream but somehow the one last night brought everything together!
I started the dream, young. Based on my vague memory of it, my level of sight was barely above the table and I was running around most of the time with a few other children. I could feel it, I was happy. Very very happy, in the dream.
The dream progressed into my teenage years I think because war broke out and I remember seeing the chaos down in the main city from where I lived, right on top of a couple of hills. I was taken away from my big Chinese mansion (or they call it 四合院). I think I was conscripted into the army or something. I remember reaching my hands out and calling out to my parents. They were left crying at the doorsteps and soldiers held them down to make sure they didn't follow after me.
Somehow visions fast forward - and I was riding on a horse. I was going home. I can still remember how I felt in the dream as I'm writing this down. I was exhilarated, full of expectations. I was going home. Maybe the war has ended. I was followed by a group of soldiers who called me 统帅 - presumably a pretty high rank in army hurhur.
I remembered riding the path back to the old Chinese mansion. But all I saw was an old, run-down mansion. Empty, unattended, pretty much a shadow of its former self.
One thing stood out - there was a rotting black horse carcass right in the central area of the mansion. I remember disappointment washed over me in the dream. The people I was looking for wasn't there anymore.
And then my dad woke me up. It's time I go to work - back to reality that is.
Eeps. I wonder what this dream meant. Maybe I was a Commander-in-Chief in my previous life. HAHAHAHA.
Or maybe I should just stop doing work and using so much internet to surf nonsense before I sleep!

Cracked me up. :]
Random thought
Someone asked for my help yesterday.
She's the facial lady I've been with for the last 8 years and is considered a pretty close friend of mine. She filed for divorce and needed someone to explain to her in details what her ex-husband's lawyer had submitted in his defense.
I spent 2 hours sitting with her, hearing her talk about her marriage and how it eventually disintegrated. Along the way, I wrote down pointers and how untrue most of the things were in the statement of defense. I spent another 4 hours at home that day, doing up her responses in English for her lawyer (her lawyer is Indian and none of his assistants seemed to be effectively bilingual enough. If any, they didn't come for free) and writing up a Chinese version for her to keep for her own reference.
Met her up today and briefed her of what I've wrote and that I've minimized the usage of emotional wordings so we will be as factual as possible. She thanked me profusely, and gave me a bunch of free skin products as thank you.
It's undeniable a great feeling, knowing that something you are good at (translating materials both ways, Chinese to English and vice-versa) helped someone that much. I wonder if there's an organization which helps poorly educated individuals who lacked the network or financial capability to seek help for such documentations. I would love to volunteer with them.

Conversations between Jobs and Gates
My VP sent me this after I told him I wanted to get an iPad.
It left me cracking up at my desk.
But I don't know what point my VP wanted to drive at. Hahaha

Night of Tequila
I never thought I could last through any alcoholic beverage.
Had 2 tequila shots last night and surprisingly...felt nothing.
Hmm.
That aside, I think I will just stick to orange juice.

Farmville
I'm not sure about you but I'm pretty much obsessed with farming in Farmville :)
That sense of achievement of watching your crops/plants grow is just awesome! Not to mention the money you earn along the way.
Although well it's not exactly real money.

Love how those fertilizers make my crops look mega large.

Woman
Came across this and I think it's really funny.
WOMAN
If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman
If you don’t, you are not a man
If you praise her, she thinks you are lying
If you don’t, you are good for nothing
If you agree with all her likes, she is amusing
If you don’t, you are not understanding
If you make romance, you are an ‘experienced’ man
If you don’t, you are half a man
If you visit her too often, she thinks it is boring
If you don’t, she accuses you of double-crossing
If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy
If you don’t, you are a dull boy
If you are jealous, she says it is bad
If you don’t, she thinks you do not love her
If you attempt a romance, she says you didn’t respect her
If you don’t, she thinks you do not like her
If you are a minute late, she complaints it’s hard to wait
If she is late, she says ‘that’s a gal’s way’
If you visit another, she accuses you of being a heel
If she is visited by another, ‘Oh! It’s natural, we’re gals!’
If you kiss her once in a while, she professes you are cold
If you kiss her too often, she yells you are taking advantage
If you fail to help her in crossing the stree, you lack ethics
If you do, she thinks its just one of the man’s tactics
If you stare at other, she accuses you of filrting
If she is stared by others, she says that they are just admiring
If you talk, she wants you to listen
If you listen, she wants you to talk
Oh GOD, You created those creatures called ‘WOMAN’
So simple, yet so complex
So weak, yet so strong
So confusing, yet so desirable
