Brother in hospital

4.41am.. Ring ring.. Dad called.. "Jason went into fits seizure.. and is on the way to Changi General Hospital in am ambulance, mum's with him.." I went into a state of shock.. Ok ok.. My wife and I did a quick change and rushed our way to hospital.. Fortunately, my brother is out of danger.. But has to stay in hospital for another few more days for observations and scans..

Traffic Police

Before the end of rat year, i was caught speeding, travelling 106km/hr on a 70km/hr road.. Dun get me wrong, the road is a straight 3 km road that practically every motorist sped beyond the limit.. I was just the "lucky" guy caught in the act. It summed up my unlucky rat year.. Yesterday, somehow, something just went thru my mind while i was driving, I slowed down in the process from a speeding speed.. It wasnt any thoughts in particular, just a sudden feeling to think of something.. Then 5 traffic police on bikes went passed me.. Phew.. It was weird, but it saved me.. This is gonna be a good year for me..

Manchester United Winning Streak

Goal.......... Ryan Giggs scores.. With his right foot.. This is going to be Manchester United year.. 2 points lead with a game in hand.. 3 more months to go..

Recently, my boss was telling me in the annual appraisal that working is akin to a soccer game.. You can be the best team in the league, scoring tons of goals, complete your task beyond expectations, but if you are also letting in a lot of goals in the process, you still lose the game.. Conceding goals in my organisation context is sometime beyond comprehension.. What can I do to prevent my subordinates from making mistakes? I asked myself.. The goals that i let in is akin to my goalkeeper who is so weak to stop any shots that comes his way.. What can i do? I am in a sticky position that i cannot sack incapable guy on the job, and hours of guidance did not work.. On the hindsight, I still cannot think of a way.. Not even all my colleagues can think of one.. Not even my boss when he was talking to me.. "Its just bad luck"... No fault of my boss, just how my organisation works. Its all water under bridge, this year looks a good one for me.. Hopefully, good luck follows me this year..
