I won an Ipod Shuffle!!

I still can't believe that I won an Ipod Shuffle!! This is the first time I actually won anything in a lucky draw. This lucky draw was conducted during my company annual dinner recently at Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel. The theme for the dinner was "International Gala Spectacular" so we were supposed to dress up in any costume that represents a country...like Statue of Liberty, Geisha, etc... There was even a RM500 prize for the best dressed male and female staff.

Hmm...I actually contemplated dressing up but then again, no lah, too much work, not enough time. The winner for the female category was a staff dressed up as Princess Pei Pei from China, while the male category is ....actually i felt it was abit out of topic but the guy actually dressed as a lady while his wife dressed as a man. Creative idea but abit out of topic. Oh well, he won anyway. Both of them were supposed to dress up like that when they come to work on Monday or they'll forfeit the title...do you think they did?? Actually I didn't think it was serious, so they didnt...haha!

We also had a very impressive Capoiera Dance performance. It is the latest thing to hit the fitness circle. Looks abit like break dancing and combat. Then we grooved to the beat from the Aseana Percussion Band. It was world class standard. And finally we laughed till our tummy ached with stand up singer/comedian Buddy Loren. He was really multi-talented, singing from Hokkien to Arabic songs, doing impersonations from Shah Rukh Khan to Michael Jackson....wow!

Finally we had the grand lucky draw where the grand prize was a 3day 2night ticket for two to Perth, Australia. I only managed to win the Ipod Shuffle....someone else got the Ipod Nano. But I'm happy enough...I was hoping to get a digital camera or an Ipod, and I got at least what I hoped for :) Other prizes given away were like Motorola Razor handphone, aircons, microwaves, pdas, etc. What an exciting time and we finally ended about 1am.

Looking forward to what's in store for next year...

Death by Suicide

“I’m alive”, thought Veronika. “Everything’s gonna start all over again. I’ll have to stay in here for a while, until they realize that I’m perfectly normal. Then they’ll let me out, and I’ll see the outside world again.” In the second book by Paulo Coelho I have been exploring, “Veronika Decides To Die” talks about a 24 year old Veronika who seems to have everything – youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills, expecting never to wake up again. But she does…in a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. And as she thinks about her situation now that her suicide was unsuccessful, an inner monologue continues on in her head: “Since people always tend to help others-just so that they can feel they are better then they really are-they’ll give me my job back at the library. Since I only take sleeping pil...

Between the Devil and the...Angel?

And finally the final book of the trilogy, “The Devil and Miss Prym” is the most interesting of all. In this novel about temptation is a thought provoking parable of a community devoured by greed, cowardice and fear as it struggles with the choice between good and evil. A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him. Are human beings, in essence good or evil? In his sophisticated plot, he shows Chantal Prym, a young, simple girl in the village, where he buried his eleven bars of gold. After showing her the gold bars, he shared his plot to proof his theory that the nature of human beings when confronted with temptation, will always fall. He explained to Chantal, “ Everybody in this village is honest, starting with you. I showed you the gold bar, which would give you the necessary financial independence to get out of the village, to trav...

Hyppo Barney Rocks!!

The ActsGames results were finally out after the long awaited two weeks. And the winner goes to....Hyppo Barney!! It was quite unexpected since the team didn't win alot of games, but did they score big time on the merit points! I was just chatting with one of the committee members and she said that most of us were so focused on the games and superpower that they forgot that what happens behind the scenes are just as important. I guess we learnt a lesson from the Hyppo Barneys...Hip Hip Hurray! Hip Hippo Barney! As for the winner of the cheerleading, the Red Hulks walked away as the champion while Pink Panthers came in second with very close marks. Pink Panthers were the Iron Team for being the team who was the strongest...surprise! surprise! I thought we did were around second or third. The best Sportswoman went to Aunty Molly from Mata Kerbau and best Sportsman went to Alex Au Yong from Red Hulks. Way to go! Finally, well done to all the teams out there, and thanks for that gr...
