The week before 20th July

1) Flew to Singapore with a last minute arrangement. Joined the class as an observer (since I am not registered for the class). Class was more like a discussion forum. Very useful to air out issues and problems faced. A lot of sharing of information. And of course there is always the food. This time, the dinner was with the Singapore Support team. I guess I was invited since both trainers and I are from the same team.

2) On the local political front, a political secretary was found dead after "interrogation" by the anti corruption commission. Most people believe he was murdered. I learnt a new word - fenestration. One definition is to throw someone out of a window!!


3) Overseas - 2 bombs went off in Jakarta, targeting the Ritz Carlton and JW Marriot. A colleague was in Jakarta at the same time. After checking to make sure he was okay, just left it at that. So - to the extremists who got nothing better to do than to blow themselves up, why don't you organize a blow yourself up party somewhere remote - like an uninhabited island and go make everyone happy.


4) And on Friday, as part of the management committee, I was asked to attend a meeting with the property management team for the office which we are leasing. Someone tried to sabotage the office by leaving a smouldering cigarette wrapped by toilet paper and created a potential fire hazard in the gents the previous week. The property management team managed to view the security footage and concluded that it was not people from our office. So the "meeting" turned into a beer party from 6pm to 9pm. We met at Carerra at Uptown 5.


Again - burppppp!
