You win some, you lose some

Some people have been complaining that I don't update my blog enough. Maybe it doesn't occur to them that SOME people actually have to work. Or that SOME people don't actually go shopping for good deals the whole time. Maybe it's just that SOME people don't actually have very much energy left to blog after work.....

Anyway, I finally found something that I love doing. Unfortunately, it is related to WORK! And sometimes I feel that I'm not getting enough support or appreciation for doing what I love doing at work. I guess that beats some ppl who absolutely detest their job (or is that most people, going by a recent unofficial survey?). You win some, you lose some. Dynamic equilibrium. :P

Beating the Monday Blues

My junior from Berkeley CE made this website for a new company serving Singaporean food in the Bay Area: http://www.primatasteusa.com/index.html
They do catering too. Sounds good huh? Those of you still in Bear Territory, check it out and give me some feedback. Oh, the Bears beat Washington State 42-38 (by a whisker) last weekend! Go Bears!

I have the day off today. What better way to beat the Monday blues than to go skating at East Coast Park all morning? Ok, skiing down Whistler Mountain on a Monday morning would've been better, but no prizes for guessing why that's not gonna happen anytime soon (yw, u lucky b******!).

From Marine Parade to Changi (and back) on an almost deserted asphalt path, devoid of the usual weekend chatter, I can hear the birds chirping and the waves crashing onto the shore even through the mp3s blaring in my ear! Now that's what I call music! Coupled with the 15 minute break enjoying the shoreline and cityscape from Bedok jetty, what a great way to start the week! I don't want to go back to work anymore hahaha....

Anyway, I'm learning to skate backwards. I know the basic strokes already, but I think there are more advanced strokes to master, because I'm still going too slow to be on the path, and I can't see where I'm going.... So if anyone's got some tips, please holler out in the comments section!
