oral fixation vol-1

as the appointed chairman, i called for the team building committee for a meeting this afternoon. as the previous one had the ppl did nothing but stare at each other, this time i called the big boss in as well. how was that?? i let him handled the meeting. after all, this whole team building thingy was his stupid-not-to-mention-meaningless idea anyway...

so my suggestion of having a normal lunch out but jumble up the whole seating arrangement (to get ppl to mix outside their comfort zone), went down the drain. just as i expected. urrghh.. i was already having fun with my colleagues over tea break, setting up unpopular ppl with the bosses. the big boss mentioned this other dept was considering a cruise or sth. wow..like we could plan a cruise with only $20 budget per head. cruise on 'sampan' more like...

last alternative, bbq in east coast. hmm..simple. could just buy ready-marrinated bbq stuff and book the pits. the only problem? have to come up with sth in between to extend the overall function to 3 hrs or so. games maybe...not sth physical though coz it's probably hot in the afternoon, and ppl would get all dirty and it's not like we could take a dip into the sea. need a good MC too...hmmm...

ahh worry bout that later.

tompok just called regarding our trip to bangkok this sept. seems like ages away but i already booked my flight over air asia yesterday. it was so convenient, this whole book on the net thing. we decided to stay in baiyoke sky hotel, but planned to book the room only end of this month. i'm quite excited over this actually, just that this other japanese lady will tag along with us. first, things would go somewhat formal when she's around, and secondly, my japanese is horrible now, it takes a lot of effort to converse naturally, and i'm..ermmm not so energetic lately.

hearing shakira's new album, fijacion oral vol-1 now, and it's in spanish. i was quite surprised hearing her first single 'la tortura' just now coz i heard 2 men's voices when she's supposed to be duetting with this other guy in this song. not that great song. maybe her second single 'no' is better off. we'll see....
