Summary summary summaryyyyyyyyyyyy

Monday - Got the news that the ISO14001 Surveillance Audit by BCA is on 20th March, Thursday. They will be in ISD from 3-5pm. I panicked. Lots of documents to update. Even the paper usage hasnt been updated since Oct 02. Time to get busy. After work I went running at Macritchie as usual. Shih Wee got some Genki Sushi vouchers so we went to the United Square outlet and had dinner. My, that place has really undergone a major facelift. I worked there for about 6 mths waaay back in 1990. Times the Bookshop at the basement. It's gone now. The place really looks cool, dont mind going back there someday.

Tuesday - Its Futsal day. I really couldnt get players. David, King, Raymond, Thomas, they declined. I still have my toe injury. Only Wee Wah, Mun Wai and Alvin agreed. But firs thing in the morning, Alvin sent an email to the 3 of us, saying that he had to attend a friend's wake. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I sent an email to Peng Khoo suggesting that we walkover. It was only then that I heard from Fariz, he started going around DA to look for players. Ho ho. Finally he took notice of my emails! He managed to get Wui Kok to play. After work I sent Wee Wah and Mun Wai to the CC, Sul and Ros followed along. I didnt wait for the games to start, I left and met Mervin at Kallang KFC. He was really upset about the war. Oh, he snapped at work in the morning, and just left office and went to the beach. He looked like he walked the entire coastline! We had coffee at Boy Accident area after.

Wednesday - Went to the 'The Next Big Thing in Technology' Seminar at Raffles City Convention Centre. Scott McNealy said something about puttin everything on the Internet. EVERYTHING. Clothes, people. Benetton bought millions of RFID chips and put in on their clothes, they can track every single one of them, how many times they are taken off the shelves and tried, how many times each type of items is brought out of the store.. etc. The red banners with chinese calligraphy and the lion dance at the end of the seminar irritated me. So irrelavant. Chinese Imperialism at its best. Is this a chinese country? The first sign of Muslim writings and they would have shouted "Extremists!". Bleh.

Got a call from SGH, Damian has taken a turn for the worse and is in a critical condition. I rushed there right after the seminar. Spent about 2 hours from 11:30-1:30 donating my blood platelets. They hook me up to this interesting machine, it pumps blood out of you, the plasma gets separated first, then the platelets. After 7 cycles and 3litres of blood later, 280ml of platelets were drawn out of me. I felt good, at least I contributed, at least I gave the family hope. By the time I reached back to the office, it was already 3pm. Rushed to prepare the ISO14001 documents for tomorrow's audit, stayed till 8pm then left for BBDC for bike practice lesson 5. I was too tired by then. Did the pylon slalom pretty well but sucked at the narrow planks. Kept falling off. Tried over and over again but just couldnt contol the handlebar with my arms. I guess 3 litres of blood would have an effect. Coming back next Monday for another try........

Thursday - Whole day busy with Audit. Opening meeting at Board Room. Lunch at Cafe Vienna with Gom, Lay Peng, Eileen, Tony, Soon Ai, Siak Hwee and the BCA auditor. Mr Chong Ching Hoe. EUS was also there for their unit lunch. Mr Chong came to ISD at exactly 3pm. I did a little presentation at the Integrity Room and he went through all the documents in the Register. With the help of Wai Yin, Chew Lian and Ai Tee, I managed to smoke my way through. We went to the Data Centre after that. Mr Tay Chee Kuan is a lifesaver. He gave a complete tour of the Centre and the Printer rooms. Engaged Mr Chong thoroughly and answered his questions convincingly. He was impressed. After a short tour of the department, he summed up the audit as "You definitely passed the Audit, kept the documents up to date and showed your commitment." When I went back, Leong sent an email "Well done, Zul!" Its good to know he recognise my efforts. When I talked to him last Friday to inform him of the audit, he said "With you around, there shouldnt be any problem." Heh. Ran at Macritchie after that, cool day after rain and it was a relaxing run. Went home to watch American Idol. Its Friday soon :)
