I misplaced my wallet again today. I was in Bukit Gombak Sports Hall for badminton. After the game, I went to the toilet to change. After that I went for dinner with my friends and I put my things in Hanwen's car before that. As we were walking to the coffee shop, I realise my wallet is not with me. I thought I left it in Hanwen's car and thought nothing of it.

After dinner, Hanwen gave us a ride home. As we were leaving the car park, I realise my wallet is missing, so I get Hanwen to stop where I went to the toilet to look for the wallet. Unfortunately, it's locked.

As I was walking back to the car, my phone rang. It's from the Sports Hall office. She said she found my wallet and asked me to go collect it. It's really a series of fortunate events that led me back to my wallet. Lucky that no one took my wallet home. Lucky that no one took anything from the wallet. Lucky that the office lady found it as she has my numbers in her records as I booked the courts. Lucky that I realise it early enough and went looking for it, else I would have trouble retrieving it halfway when we are halfway home. Lucky that dinner did not end too early.

Lucky.

I went for this course back on June 11 and 12 this year. I was supposed to go for another course in July that I don't know about until my manager called me 1 week before and ask me to swap with my colleague, TS, as he was busy with a project and can't go for this course. I agreed, and then totally forgot about it.

On June 11th, I reached office slightly earlier than usual. On seeing me, TS asked, "I thought you are on course today?". So I hurriedly grab my things and took a cab down. I am 1 hour late, but they had barely started.

Overall, I thought this is an interesting course. The instructor is quite good. But on a closer look, I thought what he said are common sense. He stresses the importance of teamwork and how we should function in a team.

There were a number of games and puzzles to be played. And also a number of flipcharts to be drawn. You can see some of the flip charts of another team in the picture above.

1 of the puzzles we have to solve is to balance 12 nails on the head of 1 nail. My team isn't the 1st team to be able to do it. We aren't the 2nd either... There were 4 teams total. Anyway, this is a nice puzzle. You should try it some time.

The 4 person seated are me and my teams mates. The standing thin guy on the right is the instructor. The other is a photo whore from another team. :P

This is another long delayed post. Andrew and Deborah got married on 10th June 2007. My first words to him when I see him in the wedding is, "It's so good to see you!". Haha! He ignored me. :P Anyway, it's a joyous occasion and I think Andrew enjoyed himself.

The wedding is held at The Regent Singapore. It's at Tanglin Road. It's the first time I've been there, but I thought it's a nice place.

The most important moment. The saying of "I Do".

[IMAGE: Champagne Pouring]

Like most chinese wedding dinner in Singapore, they have the champagne pouring. I always like this segment of the wedding dinner program, but it would be better if I get to drink the champagne. :P

After the champagne pouring, it's the cross hand toast of course. And after that the yam sheng toasts. I always find it funny if a wedding dinner is without it, but christians do not like it. They seem to associate this to religion. But I thought this isn't religion, it's culture. Oh well. Andrew has it, so I shan't say more about this. :P

After Yam Sheng, will be the table pictures. Deborah was asking for me and said she has heard a lot about me. I wonder if it's good or bad. Anyway, we had 2 games lined up for him. For most bridges groom, they will avoid this by saying they are rushing for photo taking and will come back later. But after the photo taking, it's the end of the dinner and they are busy saying goodbyes to the guests. So you'll have a long wait. Andrew is different. He really come back after photo taking. The 1st game is drinking of 7 kinds of drink. We prepared 7 glasses of different drinks. There are mild items like coke, chinese tea and other soft drinks. There is also beer and XO. Surprisingly, Deborah drank most of it. This lady sure can hold her liquor!

The 2nd game is something that I thought is very suitable for weddings and I always suggest this game if the table is up to it. We keep a few chicken parts when the chicken dish is served. We covered them with bowls and ask the groom to pick 1. Which ever part he chosed, he'll have to kiss the relevant part on the bride. Andrew picked the wing, and we say that he'll have to kiss the armpit. But we changed it to the chicken breast for him. :P And it's not just kiss. He'll have to continue kissing until we cheers finish.

After our games, another table called hiim away. After that, he's drunk. Luckily, we were still able to take group picture.

This group isn't so lucky.

Seeing the condition of Andrew, I decide to help them help Andrew back to his room. End up, I am 1 of the latest to go back. Luckily my bus runs till quite late.

I don't really know the couple on the left. I've never seen them before. I am just helping them take a picture, but Andrew for some drunken reason, insists that I joined them. :P
