Worst Week at Work...

I had perhaps my worst week in my professional life ever. Made some critical errors in key areas pertaining to my job function, and to the wellbeing of the business in general. What irritates me is that these errors are simple careless mistakes that I have no excuses for. I am seriously pretty down on myself right now and am spending today and tomorrow just trying to figure out a way to climb out of this funk. I must find someway, somehow to get my acts together and not make these stupid mistakes. If I don’t make improvements soon. I’d quite personally.

Next week is another week…

And of course, Your Director

And Of Course, your talented director !!
(In case you ask why I look like somebody owes me $1 million. it was taken before a recent trip to Hollywood Bowl by a friend and after only 3 hours of sleep and a MAJORLEAGUE screw up at work in the same day...)

Casts from Da Bulls Camp

And here are some of the supporting casts and crew from Da Bull's side. As always, Eddie Tarantino is your director....






There's the Good Dr. and Spiderwoman. The Dr. Did a "Italian Job" recently, and was cursing the banker the entire day...











Theres also Jelly fish and the lovely owner of world's fattest cat.










And of course, there are the dapper twins...who are also...









My Biatches....j/k










And then Big Al, the Navigator, the banker to Masterlee...and congrad again!!!











And finally. The Master.

Marriage Del Toro

Marriage Del Toro


Congradulations Mr. and Mrs. Bull. It was a wonderful wedding, even though the weather feels like we are in Namibia, I truly enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Bulls family and friends. They are good people. I hope Masterlee didn’t embarrass you too much :P

(BTW, Mr. and Mrs. Bull, this is my favorite shot!)

Corinne Bailey Rae

Pay attention to this artist. Corinne Bailey Rae. Just heard her song the other day on VH1 and immediately her voice captivated me. Her voice is a mixture of Macy Gray and Billie Holliday. and this one song of hers really has a calming effect on my tempest mood right now.

As if she is saying "its all right, you've been foresaken; so forsake what was never there, and never will be, and let it go."

Gypsy Kings no more?

I was so looking forward to my concert next week to my favorite Flamenco Guitar group – the incomparable Gypsy Kings. I have two great tickets, but now, I am not sure if I can go at all.
I might have to entertain a group of client who is flying in next week for a 3 day meeting. And my VP wants me to have dinner with them on the same day!

What a bummer. I really wish I could go. Good stuff like this don’t come around often. I also really wish the person I really want to take to the concert could make it too :P Good art and music needs to be shared, and I am sure she’d enjoy it.

Well, keep my fingers crossed.

Vespa

Lately, I am seeing lots of these little scooters around my hood. This morning, I saw a guy riding on Alton in a brown, shiny old school Vespa. It looks so cool. makes me want to get one!

Steak Dinner

I can't remember the last time I cooked...but after a long and tiring day, I decided to cook myself a mean old steak. Those Laury's steak salt and special steak sauce really came in handy...
so I had a steak, an egg, some rice, a glass of pretty good wine, and some ice cream and flavored tea after dinner. It was good.

Champion

ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA! ITALIA!!!!

Bye bye Razor!

This morning, I accidently dropped my Razor in the toilet... then i heard a phshshhhh sound, and some fire sparks came out. and poof, there goes my Razr.

So I will not have a phone for the next few days. sucks.

10 Things....

Had lunch with a mentor this weekend who is a psychiatrist right now (A serious one I may add, a Harvard Grad. ala Dr. Frazier Crane)

Anyway, Dr. Frazier raised a simple proposition during our long lunch and coffee session. The proposition raised is for me to list things that I enjoy about my “present” and the reasons why. And in 6 month, re think the list to see if these things are still the same...

Well, after giving it some thought, here are mine:

• Triathlon - Triathlon training gives me a sense of purpose. swimming, cycling and running, it actually clears my mind and make me feel more at peace with myself. Its a good feeling to see how my body is slowly changing too.

• Spending time with Dad and my dogs during weekends - I enjoy going back to SG in the weekends and just spend the day hanging out at home with my dad and walk my two dogs. Its a nice feeling to have, very private and very personal.

• Work - I am finally getting a handle of what I am doing. I like what I do and I like the people I work with and work for. and that is a great feeling.

• World Cup Soccer - Team Italia I have been idolizing Roberto Baggio and Alessandro Del Piero. Class act the both of them.

• Chinse Classis (Currently re-reading historical documents during the War Lord period in the late Zhou dynasty) - I love history. I am especially pround of my Chinese heritage. It is really great and amazing, I just wish more of the people my age would appreciate it.

• Rowing and Dragon Boating - wanted to do it after watching the notebook. and actually went to a Dragon Boat practice last week. it was fun.

• Risk - LOTR edition is the best. Great way to kill time.

• Night Crusing - Summer nights on PCH with sunroof open is the best.

• Verve Remixed (Nina Samon, Billie Holliday, Astro Gilberto, Etta James) - Listen and you'll know.

• Heineken Light - The 2nd best beer in the world.

Well, that is about it.

early morning swim awaits me again....

G'night

Azzurri in the Finals! Viva Italia!

Viva Italia! Viva Azzurri! Italy 2 - Germany 0

I lost my voice today because I was screaming so loud.
(btw, why do I cheer for Italy you might ask? Don't you know that I am 1/12th Italian? just look at my skin color :P J/K hee hee)

Working...On a Sunday!?!?

This totally sucks.

Working when it is a gorgeous day outside. But it is comforting to know that my co-workers are suffering with me too.
