ST: Guys and guns

Ok, I finally hacked into this account and I have something to say...

What is it about guys and their toys? My boyfriend recently had this fasination with paintball and I'm quite unhappy to see him end the session with bruises. What's more infuriating is that he seems quite proud to parade them!
Argh, men! Put a couple of them together and they'll start talking about their NS and how terrible their life was. And here they are paying good money to let themselves get hit! I simply cannot understand it! $50 / game for 1-2 times a week and he has the cheek to tease me about my shopping habbits!
*hmph!*

Signing off,
bewildered girl friend

Nine Words Women Use...

This is old but still good to share


[Nine Words Women Use...]

1.) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are Right and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more Minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, And you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing Usually end in fine.

4.) Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5.) Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.) That's Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8.) Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F#%K YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.

Paintball interests

I got my third game last weekend and I've just completed the orientation of tournament paintball. When this list is submitted to the Police, it means that I'm clear to play without the legal requirement of a center line.
Anyone on for a recreational level game? :)

Disgusting politics

This story at SICC disgusts me. To protect his wife's position as a lady captain in the golf committee, a lawyer, Mr Lee, did this...

Loss of strength

We lost a member of our SD/MM team today, due to the crazy rental costs here. Shijie is upset and panicky about having to handle her division on her own. She just got on after been persuaded by me =\

We need more experienced people...

Management, wake up your idea! To stem the high turnover here, you don't just "improve the hiring process". Wake up!

A dash of updates

Ok.. got scolded le...

[work]
I'm not moving anytime soon. I still got things to learn and my mentor is back. Even though people tai-ji things to me - let them.
I got a good bonus and increment %; though I suspect they are been generous cos they are pro-rated. Like.. so what if they give me an additional 1% of a 5/12 year?

[ippt]
Atrocious. Time to work out...

[social]
On whim, I tried to organise something for my colleagues from my second employment. The response is disappointing as well as silent. What is it that a friend said? The participants must been keen in the first place... =\
