  • Working on the road less travelled

    I believe I mentioned that I now work in a museum in a previous post. I had a friend who told me: "Museum? Sounds boring...". After saying this he continued on to his exciting HR executive job (pls note the sarcasm, I wasn't really praising him).

    Well for the benefit of those who haven't had the fortuity (or the initiative for that matter) to visit your own national museum, THIS is where I work
     
    Sure it looks a tad monumental, but it rocks! and I'm loving it. I get to handle many prestigious events from top investment banks and diamond collectors.

    After a 3 year refurbishment, this is what it looks like on the inside


    I hope I can become the Director for this place one day. LoLx!

  • Memos from my Boss

    Here's some memos that my boss emailed to the whole company. I think it's pretty funny how she can be witty and dangerous at the same time, so I'm sharing it with you guys. One day when I've compiled enough memos, I might just piece a book together =)

    Email Subject: Housekeeping
    Quote: "Conference Room Lights - you should only turn on those above the meeting table. The downlights in the high ceiling are working lights, which you don't need unless you've just dropped 20 karat diamond jewellery your mother-in-law gave you and you absolutely need to find it before sunset...
    ... open the shutters and let some natural light into the room, it saves energy. And natural light makes everyone look picture perfect."

    Email Subject: Sending memos
    Quote: "If your memos need to be filed as part of a long and winding process of approval, please use a sheet of A4 and start from the top, date it and number it in Roman system. ie I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX X, etc. Yes, apart from the arabic numeric system, there are also other systems...

    If you are writing to me, it is okay to use 2nd person, 'you' (ie, me). Please do not refer to me in your note to me in third person: Director, D/AVS, D this D that. You can reserve that privilege for the ministers and PM, SM and MM*. In English, it is feudalistic and archaic - do I strike you as Queen Elizabeth III ?"

    * PM, SM and MM refers to Prime Minister, Senior Minister and Minister Mentor respectively

    If you have a boss more sarcastic than mine, do drop me a sample of his/her emails. I might be willing to pay you for some funny material.

  • Inter-cousin R'ships

    I really want to know: is having 'relations' with your second cousin wrong?


    I found a website called CousinCouples that supports cousin marriages. They have facts about pregnancies, religion, legal issues etc. I bring this up because I used to like a cousin of mine many many years ago. But because of what I've been told about genetic inbreeding, I decided against it. Another first cousin has also confessed her love for me before also, but it was easier to object since she doesn't live in the same country.

    Has anyone else ever been in a similar dilemma before?
    Even if not, what're your thoughts on this?

  • Join the Mile-High Club

    Ever heard the stories from your friends that they've 'done it' with an air stewardess in the lavatory? Or perhaps with their gf/bf under the blankets in a reclined seat? They make it sound so easy, but I think it's really hard to fly Air Intercourse.

    From what I've heard, one couple joins the mile-high club every two overnight flights. Of those, 80% DON'T get caught so the odds are favorable. Even if they do get caught, they're most likely not in any serious trouble. Many crew members catch people at it but say nothing. A steward friend of mine once caught a celebrity (shan't say who), and he just told him to vacate the loos. I guess overnighters are definitely the way to do it. Wait for the crew to dish out the food, then two hours later, the lights go out, the passengers all go to sleep and the cabin crew rest. Once you're in the toilets, keep the noise down and beware of the toilet emergency button - people with fat bums have been known to hit it mid-action.

    So how did my friend do it? He struck up a conversation with a stewardess he'd been eyeing. He waited till she went into the pantry, then he stuck his head behind the curtains and asked her for some wine. While she was getting it, he slipped in and struck up a conversation with her. They both ended up chatting and boozing for awhile; When things looked good, he brought 'it' up jokingly, in conversation. I guess it allowed him to laugh it off, just in case she wasn't impressed. But all went well, and the rest you already know.

    Do let me know if you're already in the mile-high club, or if you're thinking of joining

About Me

  • I love my work at the National Museum, but I really can't sit still for long. I keep myself occupied with tennis, scrapbooking, photography, a cappella, and watching countless movies. I also occasionally love to try out new recipes from allrecipes.com when I have time. I like to think that I have all the answers to life and love; I'm the go-to guy my friends look to for answers. But the truth is I'm probably only happy about life because I have low standards, and my relationship is nothing less than a mess. However, without a doubt, I love my life =)
