(other uncounted hrs r games n break)... u realli cant help it when e whole room is rather dim, e aircon is cold, seats r reasonably comfortable... Plus 1 v imp tink, boring speakers wif boring slides... cant realli blame us... still, we made it thru... n den i muz mention sumtink tt scared e daylights outta me:
i went into e office lift wif noel n i almost died of shock when he asked me "li fei, so u tink dere's enuff for u 2 do now??" damn it! how does he noe my name?? n he noes! he noes i've been slacking alot in office, playing games on comp, hp, crosswords, read newspapers, dozing off, etc etc etc... n he noes my name now... i'm onli a pathetically small fry, how could he noe??? in reply i can onli smile weakly n stick my tongue out n say "err... i tink so..." i'm totally expecting 2 get e sack wen i get back 2 sg...

Offsite trip day 2
Rise n shine at 4.45am! cos schedule was tight... breakfast at hilton at 6 plus, excellent breakfast i muz say... n off we head for KKB (i dunoe where's tis place either, but in KL, Selangor) for white water rafting!! woohoo... been sooo looking forward 2 tis, nv done tis b4... pw got e same raft as noel den i told her "ho ho now iz ur turn 2 make ur name known 2 him... i'm sure both of e r so gonna bcum bez frenz while on e raft"... i shared raft wif terence, sg, gary(msia oc)... was rather disappointed la cos wasnt v close wif dem... but still, they were nice n down we go, straight into e raft wif peddle n helmets n life jacks... we look silly, but every1's e same... haha... den off we go sailing down e river wif e dense forest all along e river... many v big rocks in mid of river causing rapids n wen passing a rapid, it was almost like taking a roller coaster ride... thrilling n exciting... e 1st rapid did scare me cos of e strong gush of e water everywhere n we're like almost plunging straight into it... i was so forcing myself not 2 fall into e water at e rapids, which happens often... i'm so scared of e water... lucky for me, i onli slipped in e raft, but terence fell into e water twice... phew, not me... pw n hw fall in twice also... they were e heros wif 1 of e highest record of falling into water... n e 1 who saved pw up was actually noel! haha... ok la he's actually a nice person... in summary, e water rafting was super fun n when we were nearing e end wif no more rapids, we r allowed 2 go into e river n juz float down it... i went down along wif pple from other rafts, i enjoyed it wif abito fear cos i was floating alone n others were either far in front or behind... still it was fun, n tt's where i get a bad sunburn on my face n arms... =P oh i'm starting 2 love my colleagues more n more...
n den a grp of us youngsters split from dem n begin our offsite part 2 (strictly for below 30 onli... haha...) while e others end e offsite n return 2 sg... took a bus up 2 genting, 7 of us: me,pw,hw,michelle,sean,zhixing,jeremy... checked in 1st world (totally cannot b compared wif hilton) n den dinner n den casino... it was quite a bad 1st experience, lost 10 bucks at jackpot n den no $$ 2 play others which u gotta change at least 50 bucks of chips... n den e place was so polluted by cig smoke n v rude pple who juz push u outta e way n not saying sorry n did it on purpose... u could probably find e world's worst pple dere... since i'm not playing, i juz stood 2 watch n iz getting boring... sean, zhixing n mich played (e 3 PhDs! can u believe it??) n zhixing was so funny lo... he played 10 bucks by 10 bucks slowly, n den mich say he v coward or sumtink like tt, he got angry n threw $150 down all at once betting on only 1 particular bet (bet on many n chances of winning r higher) n lost it all at 1 go... haha... he so cute lor n still can laugh about it... they rich la... n den e other 4 of us was so bored we splitted n went for archery instead... wasnt tt fun... den we went starbucks for coffee b chatted till about 1am... oh forgot 2 mention, when jeremy went toilet n came 2 find us (he was alone), an uncle appraoch him n ask "hey mister, do u wan girls" in chi... he was so scared he practically ran off, his excuse for doing tt "i scared e uncle will start touching me, cos guys like 2 touch me, i was touched by 90% of e guys in office readi leh... n i scared later suddenly got girls pounce on me..." we almost fall off our chair at tt... tt was so funny... haha... n we (mainly jeremy) talked about relationships of girls n guys n we thot he could totally write a bk about it readi... still, it was entertaining i muz say...

Offsite trip day 3
we woke early n had breakfast n we talked n realise mich, sean n zx were all PhD holders... n they're so young n they're all from china! oh gosh, my legs felt rather weak upon hearing tt (they werent showing off, juz chatting)... if they nv mentioned, no1 would eva noe, judging from e way they mingle wif us n talking so much crap n senseless stuff wif no airs at all (sg phd holders were more...er..u noe wat la huh...) tt makes me e youngest wif e lowest qualification yet i was e 1 leading e grp ard all e time cos genting is my territory u c, i noe e way well (tt's possibly e onli tink i'm gd for)... haha... they all gotta call me lao da... ok we had quite abit of fun at e theme park n we had 2 drag hw, mich n zx up 2 take e roller coaster tt turns u upside down 2 rounds... mich was squeezing zx's wrist so hard i tink it looked a lil purple when we got down, n e pic of her on e ride was so funny wif 1 hand holding zx's wrist, another onto e side grill n closing her eyes screaming her head off... after tt they got scared of other rides n go back 2 casino... n den we went 2 try e space shot next (1 tt u sit on it n it shoots u high up n bring u down fast again, which leaves ur heart still up in e sky) n we all had 2 drag hw in... she was so scared... but wen u r young tt time dun try, old readi wanna try also cannot readi... so muz try! n den she sat beside jeremy... when it went up n hung at e highest point for a minute, she sceam n scream, when it came down, she went all quiet n den jeremy thot sumtink happened 2 her n faster turned 2 look, she juz got tis v stunned look... but she was ok when iz over... no puking, no nuthin... great... we had quite sum fun playing n taking pics... but since we're leaving at 330pm, we had 2 go off early, but still we took quite alotta rides since it wasnt exactly sch hols yet so no long queues... took a coach back 2 sg n reach bout 11 plus pm...
tis offsite trip is probably my 1st trip 2 go play wif other pple outta sg w/o my parents... it was so much fun but too bad, fun tinks usually dun last long... thou iz a mere 3 days, iz probably e bez memory i had while in oc... zx was actually asking wanna go macau or HK tgt play again not (gamble more likely!)... but juz a wkend mite not b enuff for HK, so they suggested star cruise... thou i noe cruises aint much fun but iz not e place u go 2, iz e pple u go wif... i tell him if they did org another 1, i'll definitely go, even macau... cos i like dem =)) they're more fun den dey always looked... tis made me more reluctant 2 leave oc now tt my contract coming 2 an end soon... =( i love dem more n more...
