Life is a bitch, so we should be bitchier;

The previous week has been an eventful one. The entire week was packed with activities, with no one in the mood to work since it is December. We had a school team-building exercise on Thursday then company Dinner and Dance on Friday.

The team-building activity was paintball, which was not really very painful. I escaped the paintballs rather unscathed and my team won both times we played! We are not that bad after all! It was too dirty to take photos of anything thus there is a lack of visual impact.

Friday D&D was relatively fun. Other than the tradition that the newbies had to put up a performance, in which we cheated as we made a video of ourselves so that we will appear on screen but will not have to go onstage, everything else was good. The MC for the night was Daniel Ong and he is absolutely full of rubbish; good rubbish. He kept the entire ballroom of people entertained for the entire night and that's a pretty mean feat. Photos of D&D will be up soon and you guys can see my pretty self on that night. :)

The only blemish on that night was some minor issue which escalated into something pretty huge and ugly. I am in no position to comment although everyone sort of knew who was right and who was wrong. I guess one of the party suffered an injustice at how the other party reacted, or rather lack of reaction, at his late appearance. I hope everything will be resolved rather peacefully. The office is only that small, it is quite impossible, or hard to take sides and I'm sure no one wants to take side. I'm trying to make this as abstract as possible as such seemingly minor issues have a tendency to be blown up into something out of proportion......... I can only say that it is really hard to deal with people of high qualifications. Especially when 2 of them go head-on. Haiz..

It is strange that my life is suddenly infused with sports activities. I've started playing badminton again. Last week's orientation for the students ended in me also joining in their outdoor activities (Canopy Challenge Walk), making me ache all over. There is another badminton session tonight which I'm not going and on Thursday, UniSIM day is pain(t)ball!

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The Canopy Challenge Walk. Walking on cables suspended 18m above Yishun Park. Minced meat if we fall. And we were supposed to appreciate the faun and flora of the park. As if we would remember to look up and appreciate nature when you are walking on tightropes.

Starting out really cheery, not knowing what is in store for us.

Upon coming back. Everyone not looking so bright and cheery anymore.

Should these photos deter you from trying that out, I think it shouldn't. As much as it made my legs soft somewhere in the middle part of the obstacle course, I think it is actually pretty fun. Just that another weekend is burnt.

Oh, and I went to the Singapore Flyer again, for the second time, on another type of experience. We took the normal flight where we had to queue and share the cabin with 10 million others. And it was daytime, meaning photos were more easily taken. But it was still boring and the bf's mum was actually more preoccupied with a little girl than the scenery that we were supposed to be looking at.

She actually managed to get the little girl to kiss her at first sight!

The girl whom the mum was preoccupied over. She was really cute though. After we took her picture, she walked over and wanted to take a look at it. After seeing the photo, she pointed to it and said "big".

Conclusion: Go try the Canopy Walk. Forgo the Flyer.
