2 interesting snippets in life:
Was just feeling a strange bit of weirdness as I was filling up the volunteer registration form, even though i'm like in the organisation for 2 months and already implanted myself in two of the committees, actively involved in different levels of operations le?
Is it the part on adminstration that's really getting people to get more organised? or is it just a hurdle that slows down everything and deemed redundant by the very people who are supposed to monitor the figures and statistics?
i really wonder... systems should be in place for us to control and manipulate, since they are there to help us... it is sometimes likewise felt when we're playing bridge... when u may occasionally hear comments from the other tables, "hey partner, i bid this way because our system doesn't allow me to express the distribution this nicely" when people become too aggressive and bid overly in their impression of a likely complementary distribution... for example in this case, the pair may have been manipulated instead by the system itself, or it is just an excuse for the poor guy who may be just scolded like mad for giving a swing away... and this shouldn't occur at all... after all, u've wasted so much efforts in designing a lousy system that gets u nowhere and u have to be suffering under it...

ok... and a very interesting conversation took place among personnel T, S, B and O.
O: B, check the day today.
B: 12th ya?
O: B, is today your birthday? (controls laughter!)
B: Oh yah... it is my birthday! (21st birthday somemore fyi)
T&S: Are you sure or not? You sound as though like bluffing like that...
T: Oh... it should be correct... Anyway just take out your IC...
All: *Gasp* wow! your birthday ah!
O: We should have gone to fish n co for lunch ah... haha... listen to the great birthday rap...
haha... this conversation is a really big contrast to some who really thought that birthday is *the ultimate day* for them... after all when u think from another angle, birthday is just yet another day in your life... doesn't mean that day u will become the king or wat (btw the fear that something bad like water parade or whatsoever will take place is negligible, since we are all civilians)...
thank you for bringing me memories...
