maksim

i am blasting maksim-- the piano player CD at office.
i love it but my colleagues all laugh.
they said that song -"exodus"  is their grand father's favourite.
i say it is classical. honestly i am not a classical music person as i dont know what is what. but i really "zi wo tao jui" into maksim's music. and my other love is celtic. 
i think that music is universal and i love those classics with new beat and synthetic mix (overlays of instruments) as well as trance effects. so u see, i am mambo jumbo in music. 
music creates mood and effects. for a movie, an ad, a home or an office, a retail shop, a training workshop, blah blah mrt stations, hotel lobbies & lifts. blah blah spas. music completes the theme & feel. 
 
just met a trainer this morning. he used to lecture at a uni and is now doing corporate in-house training as well as short workshops. DISC personality etc etc. behaviourial NLP also. 
he is dynamic and a do-er. i like that. we are running his workshops so that all he does is to deliver the lessons. there are more that we are gonna do with him but i shalln't bore you with my work.
 
last lunch, we were all yaking about how things used to be before. you see there are this 2 temp ppe in our office who is 20yrs old. i am 30 and my other colleagues are 33 ++. so we are OLD ya. anyway-- we were saying how we hated the banana flavoured milk that the sch made us drink every week. the 33 yr-old one had the triangle-packaged milk (tetra pack) and mine was triangle changed to square box packed. the 20yr-olds were shocked to learn that firstly - there were triangle packaged milks and secondly-- how come we were forced to drink while they had to buy. i was shocked when my other colleague (33++) added that during her time, the milk was prepared instantly by the school care-taker,, in a big pail. all lumpy and disgusting they had to drink it. wah hahah. yucks. i hate lumpy milk. terrible.
it is interesting to note how things had evolved and changed over time. for some nostalgic reasons, my colleague bought a dial phone for her home. it brought back memories when she was young, they used those dial phones. then one day her friend was at her house and she needed to call a cab. it says "press 1 for english, 2 for chinese ..." but she couldn't "press 1". ah hahah. there is no # hex keys, no * star keys, you simply cant use a dial phone from 1960 in 2004. blah.
i am shocked to learn abt the cocaine ring in singapore -- real life, real people. and traffickers will be hanged. hanged. ok let it sit in, hang. and these are people whom we do come in contact with, in business or social. so ya, i am shocked. i dont know much abt drugs so i wonder if cocaine is those u sniff up the nasal. those you either do it expertly from the back of your hand or thru a straw? the only glimpse i get of it is on movies. and they show it shadowily . i think some ppe mix cocaine with their food? and consume it. im not sure. the only drug im on is caffine. from my daily morning coffee and sometimes nite coke. i dont do tea, so ya, caffine from coffee mostly. it is also drug becos im sleepy without it.
