What a godsmack Wednesday

i had a record breaking of bad horrid cases one after another...kind of felt like i "zha hu" in mahjong and hv to pay all. the unimaginable bad luck!
all cases arose from human error..complacent and ignorant handling of a department..
and the best bit! None of them were my cases but the escalation was highlighting my name in rainbow colours..i was seeing stars..talk abt wiping someone's ass's shite
i told my boss that i needed nt just a bunch of pomegranate leaves.. but i need a freaking POT!

Cycling on Deepavali - 27 Oct 08

Worked the morning half of the day till 1pm. The morning started a lil' chaotic. There was a power outage and our pcs cldnt start up and to top it all off, i forgot to bring my pursuath card!
me and my other colleague were like sitting ducks waiting to get shot by the calls coming in and the many emails to clear..totally hectic.
After work, munchkins came to get me to head to bukit timah for cycling with louis and alvin.
for the 1st time, we started off on a new trail - The Butterfly!
i seriously dont know how that name came abt. it was a gruelling 8-9 km route and the trail was littered with undergrowths, roots of all sizes and thickness and collapsed logs. i did the best i cld but maintaining my balance and hitting the roots perpendicular but you cant go too slow otherwise you either slip when u hit a root or you dont have enough gatherer momentum to propel you thru the logs.
and it started to rain when we were barely 1/3 way through. the trail was close to pitch darkness as the forests and trees were blocking out the light and when its pouring, its even darker and for awhile, it felt like night blindness was setting in on me as i cldnt see what was ahead of me.
louis told us to hurry and we heard some heavy footing noises which louis said cld be a crocodile as part of the trail was alongside the river..or quarry? in not sure but that swampy trail was on the same level and im sure it would definately flood during high tide.
after we completed the trail, there was thunder and lightning and louis and felix said since we're wet, might as well head into the bukit timah trail.
alvin and l looked at each other and **gulped**
"ZHEN DE MA..." and before i cld finish exclaiming, louis went boundering into the trail.
damn! i cant believe this...and we all headed in..
halfway thru, the rain stopped and we had a fun time in the trail..
after cycling, we were really muddy and we took a quick rinse at louis's shop and headed for dinner and drinks at mel's plc.
we ended the evening with happy chatter and a great ride!
