the entry about working the smart way

so today i am sitting in my business-wear's finest, attending but another of my company's arduously insipid training seminars. which really got me thinking: why do i have sit through 8 hours of laborious lectures, conducted by a professor who has a knack for pronouncing ruler as "looler", and the entire process as interesting as a bowl of salad can get? and then i remembered why. the credit card bill statements (!!!) laying conspicuously on my table that i had yet to clear, which was almost as stale as the professor himself.

however, my fellow esteemed colleagues and i felt nothing but a pang of immediate urgency to leave the auditorium as soon as possible, if only to save our drained souls and bleeding ears. the entire setting reeked with dreariness and the professor certainly didn't help with his snooze-inducing monologue, purveying his verbal sedative throughout.

in the end, the intrepid quintet (myself included) made the only plausible and sane, if not wise, choice: skive!



wide set smiles and summer warmth @ ikea after escaping from the clutches of the dementor-like lecture. sam and daryl (top) and pierre and david (bottom).

some food to pamper our stomachs, before we head on to skive destination two.

2nd skive destination: glow, four seasons hotel. new entrant joins our family of skivers, peiru, with head band and all. 

various cam skiving permutations. pierre gets his dukes up and rakes up a few hundred dollars worth of purchases from dolce and gabbana within minutes, and parades it atop his head.

ben (ben!) is visibly not in the pictures, as he was meeting a client. after all, we are professionals when it comes to work.
