finished installation of a software in the morning with help from a number of people.. and left office at 4 plus this afternoon for annual department gathering. one user called me at 4 pm..

user: "you can not go for your function already"
me: "why?"
user: "'cos my report got problem"
user: "blablabla... blablabla... blablabla"
user: "ok, you can go now"
me: ??

if only all users can be appeased just by us listening to their problems.. =|

so off I went. the event took place at the chevron, a club in Jurong East area. the agenda includes bingo game, performances by management team, buffet dinner, game-cum-introduction of new staff, guess-who-I-am game, fear factor game and lucky draw.

the most memorable is the fear factor game. $300 cold hard cash prize was enough as a bait.. =) first round, the participants were asked to gulp down 5 different liquor. second round, they were asked to search for alphabets in a box filled with worms and toads.. final round, the challenge was to finish up pig's brain, century egg, cod liver oil, wasabi and butter! butter sounded very normal but the size was not.. =)
