Effective Budgeting & Costing Management

Yesterday was training day for some of us Oranges and the course we were scheduled to attend was Effective Budgeting & Costing Management. Or was it Effective Costing & Budgeting Management? Is there even a difference? *scratches head*

Anyway, our Chief Editor Photojournalist Photographer Paparazzi ML was missing in action yesterday, as he had been scheduled to attend an earlier training session, held the day before. So up stepped the Captain to the fore and he effortlessly picked up the mantle of Acting Chief Paparazzi for the day.

Highlights of the day

• BB and his entourage harem (which included BH, EO & GL) were fashionably late, arriving more than 30 mins after the start of the course.
• The trainer wore his pants conspicuously high up his body, which sparked off jokes of "a tight package", "need to go home to adjust his b**ls", etc.
• The trainer spoke with a slight angmoh-ish accent, which caused no end of irritation to some of us who have already had enough of fake accents in the office.
• Someone somehow compared his b**ls to a pair of mandarin oranges when the topic during lunch was about going to BB's house to collect ang pow. Hmm.
• NT mentioned something about a throbbing hard heart when he hugged IL during Vday. I wonder if NT really did feel IL's throbbing heart or a throbbing hard something else *The Captain rubs his chin thoughtfully, then decides not to even entertain such thoughts in his pure-as-snow mind*
  
• A lady in the office is suspected of being a dominatrix/having a leather fetish.

And here are some of the photos from the day. We had lunch at a nearby pasta place...

I really can't shake off the feeling that these two look like brother and sister.


Although, from where I sat and observed (for one whole day), they were behaving like anything but brother and sister.

AAR can't believe the audacity of that "my b**ls are mandarin oranges" joke.

NT and CK stare into space...

BB flicks his hair vainly in the gayest way possible. NT: "Yeah yeah, obviously I can't flick my hair like you!"

RC and AAR are the beer guzzlers

BH is still working hard at mastering the "Ultimate Paparazzin' Skill" from ML. She's probably only on skill level 2 or 3 compared to me. Here, she is caught on my camera. Now, the true skill of a paparazzi is to always catch other people unawares, but never to get caught unawares by others. BH, you FAIL!!! =p

And the two star-crossed lovers would forever more be separated by the tall tower of cold, unrelenting ice...

A roomful of blooms. Yeah that's the name

Even AAR wants to get in on that Paparazzin' act. Someday, everybody will be lured in to the Dark Side of the Force...bwahahahaha...

It's not too hard to guess who the suspected dominatrix/leather fetishist is, and why ;-)
