Yesterday was the weekly basketball cum badminton session with my colleagues. We had new khakis on the basketball court. 3 Filipino guys with super human stamina and excellent basketball skills.. The Filipinos have been known to be really good at playing basketball, so i wasn't surprised..
Me and XL sat and watched while the guys played. Obviously, we couldn't play cause we would be spoiling the game for them, so we spectate. The boys played 5-6 rounds of 10 hoops each, and while my male colleagues took turns to play, the 3 Filipinos played all 6 games without stopping. I was amazed at their stamina.. After the 3 guys left, me and XL finally had a chance to play ball.. we played for 2-3 rounds before it got late and we left.. It was Business Support versus LPG Sales. There were plenty of screaming and laughing, and i still get tickled everytime i think back at how the action stops when the ball lands in female hands.. The guys just leaves us alone everytime we get hold of the ball.. Minimal hussling and absolutely no body contact.. LOL!

Unlike the past few weeks, i suddenly had a lot of work on my plate yesterday. Mainly because i had a conference call with my boss in the morning.. Calls with boss = Work!
So.. i spent the whole day doing up this stupid presentation on workforce planning for our VP to present to our P next week. Everyone has been scrambling for this stupid presentation but my turn came only yesterday. Nonetheless, i still went for my sports session at 6pm, even though i had not really finished what i was supposed to do.. I figured i would do it at night when i went home, which i did until 1am! My boss asked me to call him at 1230am can you believe it?! But he was nice, he told me what he needed, but then asked me to go and sleep and do on Monday.. haha..
Yesterday's badminton was not bad, we were late by 30 minutes because of a super bad traffic jam, but still managed to play for an hour because the next group of people who booked our court were late too.. Adi and I partnered for a game of doubles.. we were the undefeated champions for 4 games until we got exhausted and were finally defeated by Kel and XL.. = )
Halfway thru our games, this Indian man walked in, yelling at everyone in the hall to stop playing.. he was a cleaner working at the community center, and he was talking loudly and asking us to clear all the litter in the hall before we left.. i think he was drunk or something cause he kept rattling on and on.. one of the guys in the court next to us got pissed and shouted at him to get out.. but he remained in the hall and walked around mumbling to himself. We ignored him, until he walked over to our court, and started to talk to us in a very rude tone about the rubbish clearing and all.. I was pissed and wanted to yell at him too, but my colleagues kept asking me to ignore him.. i could sense K was pissed too from the way he looked at the man, but he also didn't do anything.. During the ride home, K actually told me he was on the verge of picking a fight with the man, but knew i would be upset if he did it in front of my colleagues so he didn't. I told him i will probably join him if not for my colleagues' presence!
After basketball, we went for some Zhi Char for dinner. The food was cheap but not that fantastic. I still can't believe how the chef can screw up my "Fu Yong" omelette so badly! Ridiculous..
