Going birdie
Just sharing some bird pictures from London.
Yeah, I know. It's been months since my UK holiday and yet I'm still posting pictures from that trip??
Well, too bad. I've been too busy with work to take any new ones lately.

I told you so
Some Bosses are indeed living in another parallel universe even though they seem to be able to co-exist in the "employee" universe.
And sometimes, you really have to wonder if they speak a different language or perhaps the Employee-universe language terms have a different meaning in the Boss-universe. So while you are saying one thing in Employee-universe, the same sentence could take on a subtle but significantly different meaning in Boss-universe.
So you can imagine the frustration and pain us Employee-universe people have to go through in order to make a Boss-universe person understand why some things have to be done in a certain manner and why simply "banging the table" does not have any magic power to make the illogical decisions, logical, and to warp the space-time continum such that a full year's work can be compressed into a 3 month assignment.

Strike Strike Strike!
Brain's intense negotiations with Neck to end the week long strike have broken down with Neck extending their strike action.
A Neck's spokesman said that the compromised as offered by Brain falls far short of Neck's demands.
"We have been putting in very long hours to support Brain's activities, and yet Brain does nothing to relieve us. Instead, Brain not only reduces our rest time but worsens our workload by sitting still in front of the computer screen."
Firm supporters of Neck's strike action, Back and Eyes, have echoed the same sentiments.
"We are also considering joint strike action if the situation does not improve." said a visibly fatigued Back representative. "This will show management that they can't just sit on us and take things for granted anymore."
A rather red-looking Eye's spokesman broke down into tears before he could comment.
When asked to comment on Neck's decision to extend the strike action, Brain could only issue a written statement - stating that they are well aware of the issues and that they are taking steps to alleviate the workload, including the use of temporary relief measures and a slew of work incentives. However, the more permanent relief measures can only take place over the next few months.

&$@%^@ Neck stain!!!
Sign... I absolutely hate it when my neck decides that it's time to strike.
I woke up this morning with a stiff neck - which gradually upgraded itself to a full sprain later in the morning.
Now, I can hardly turn my head to the right. I have to turn my body in order to look right. Looking left is not so bad but I can still feel the muscles tense up.
And today, in addition to the usual Monday blues, I have some crap at work to deal with as well as a stupid 2hr reservist thing that I need to do during lunch time and in uniform too!
Sigh...days like this, I wish I was far far away on holiday in some exotic country taking pictures.

Le Grand Chef
If you love food, especially Korean food, then this is a movie that you should not miss. Obviously the movie's central theme revolves around food but it's not the only ingredient that makes this movie work. A witty and funny storyline with a sprinkling of heartfelt stories makes this one sumptuous feast for the mind.

After being so inspired by the movie, we went to hunt around for some Korean food. Our hunt brought us to Nul Bom Korean restaurant at Telok Ayer Street. It's quite a quaint little place, not flashy at all. I think it's probably as authentic as can be because - apart from the korean waitress, there were these four korean guys - most likely businessmen having dinner after their golf game (because of the huge golf bags) - who obviously had a lot of eat and quite obviously a little drunk too.
As you can see, the food is really very good - at least as far as I can tell. The Bi bim-ba is the best so far I've had in S'pore. The ginseng chicken broth was excellent - the chicken was so tender that it literally melts from the bone. The omelette had squid, vegetables, chili and prawns pan-fried to golden crispy perfection. The side-dishes of kim chi were very yummy too. It was a rather pricey dinner but well worth it.
