The one where I got engaged

Happy new year people. A new year begins and a new journey starts (on my end anyways).
On the second day of 2010, I got engaged to sweet Elina. A small simple ceremony was held at her residence in Subang Jaya. Proceedings went well, as it went very smoothly without much fuss.
So a July wedding has been set. I know there will be plenty of challenges in organizing this event. One of the things I need to do is get into shape. Which I believe is do-able within 6 months.
All the best for 2010.

The one with Spurs and adidas

Recently read news of a potential deal regarding my favourite team and brand. Adidas is in talks with Spurs. Which is very good news for me, being an adidas guy.

Adidas did supply Spurs kit between 1999-2002. After that it was Kappa (who seem to make the jerseys body hugging) and the disastrous Puma. Adidas did provide some nice looking jerseys and it would be nice to actually wear a Spurs jersey which looks good.
Here are the previous adidas kit designs from the historical kits website.

The one with my first month at my new gig

I've made it through my first month at my new gig. Honestly no such thing as grass being greener on the other side. Mainly due to the fact there isn't much grass around. But I'll take what I can get for now.
My new department is small and newly established. My job function itself is new. The system has been running since August. I'm in charge of operations and dealing. I'll spare the details.
Work-wise, I can do what is required. The dealing as well as maintaining the system. But the admin and paperwork and meetings are not my thing.
One of the things I like about the place is the in-house (or is it in-office) gym. Figure I try going during my lunch break. I know there isn't much you can do in an hour. Then again, its the quality of your work-out.
Another thing is they are quite active in sports. Our gym houses indoor courts. We have 2 squash courts. And the main hall serves as a multi-purpose hall. It houses futsal, badminton, netball and maybe volleyball. On Fridays we play football at the St John's field nearby. Where now I've banged in 4 goals in 3 appearances.
And tomorrow is Monday.

The one where I've become the villain

I realized I've changed a lot. I'm becoming the very evil I despise. Okay, the type of person I don't like. A kid who can no longer keep his word and no longer willing to help save the world (that was part was just for dramatics).
What do I mean? I've taken the dealer code to heart - my word is my bond. The code applies to work, but I try to keep it in real time also. For instance, lately I've been guilty for a lot of 'no-shows'. I've promised friends I will come and attend their events, only to miss out at the last minute. And I use to hate people who do that to me, and now I'm doing that to people.
In the past few weeks, I didn't show up to kenduris, weddings and games.
You may wonder how I ended up like this. Guess I'm beginning to sell fish and switch the focus to 'me'.
Guess I'm really turning into the bad clad in black.

The one with the new gig

Well, I do have loads to update here. But sadly another short post.
So I've finally left my previous bank. A relief to be free of the politics as well as the issues at the office. Will be sad to leave my close friends there.
Will be starting my new gig tomorrow. I know the grass is no longer greener on either side. But getting out was the main thing. Wonder how long it will take for me to make a mess at my new gig.
Lastly, Football Manager 2010 is out. So you know how that goes.

The one where I could be on the move again

Finally something popped up for me in the job market. Hopefully I can make an exit, not sure if it will lead to a mass exodus like the last time.
For one, I was recommended by a former boss and with other good words put in for me by others. The good words do help, but I feel that expectations are high as I come highly recommended.
Guess we will see how the next few days pan out.

The one where I'm still around

A short post saying I'm still around - larger, wider and uncut.
