Voulez vous...

'La Vie En Rose'
Edith Piaf

Des yeux qui font baiser les miens,

Un rire qui se perd sur sa bouche,
Voila le portrait sans retouche
De l'homme auquel j'appartiens Quand il me prend dans ses bras Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose.
Il me dit des mots d'amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,

Et ca me fait quelque chose.


Il est entre dans mon coeur Une part de bonheur Dont je connais la cause.
C'est lui pour moi.
Moi pour lui
Dans la vie,
Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.

Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi Mon coeur qui bat Des nuits d'amour a ne plus en finir Un grand bonheur qui prend sa place Des enuis des chagrins,
des phases
Heureux,
heureux a en mourir.

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas, Je vois la vie en rose.
Il me dit des mots d'amour,
Des mots de tous les jours,

Et ca me fait quelque chose.

Il est entre dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur Dont je connais la cause.
C'est toi pour moi.
Moi pour toi
Dans la vie, Il me l'a dit, l'a jure pour la vie.
Et des que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi Mon coeur qui bat


- Dedicated to la femme CK, a francophile who is simply magnifique.



September's Friday Faze went French. We catered the most exquisite pastries from Delifrance, and screened "Love Me If You Dare", a great French movie, at the Staff Lounge.

Only thing missing to complete the fantastic event, was a French kiss or two, or three, or four...

The preparations...


"Ooh la la!"





Lucky draw, hosted by the vivacious MS...












GK, sets up her Cinema Paradiso...




"Yangtze uncle" cinema usher, BB, collects tickets and checks for I/C...


First two patrons, CK and ND, have been checked by "Yangtze uncle", are declared of legal age after his "checking", and permitted to enter the cinema...


The cinema fills up... looks like its gonna be a chick flick screening, alright.









"Hey, SW, why, U don't parlez vous Francaise issit? Or you just come to sleep in the cinema, like some people do..."


The four cream puffs of the apocalypse.

Friday Faze - June Edition


NT's proposed email invitation for Friday Faze. I love its sarcasm and black humour. Pity that a friendlier version was sent out eventually ...

Dear survivalists,

Once again, it's time for Friday Faze. There'll be food, fun and prizes!

This week, we're giving away 6 Cathay movie vouchers, redeemable at any Cathay cinemas. And all you need to do is to participate with the same lemming-like enthusiasm you pour into your projects. If not for the tickets, at least come for the food, because there'll be plenty of that to go around.

All you need to do is form cliques of 6 or less. The winning clique will win the tickets. The rest of you losers can go smother your defeat with egg tarts and nonya kuehs.

And don't forget, this overwhelming show of generosity would not be possible without your management! Because they really care! Really!

Regards,
The FFs

Friday Faze Christmas Edition

It was the Friday Faze to faze all Friday Fazes. The significance of the event could not be underestimated. Not only was it the Christmas Edition of Friday Faze, it was also MN's last day in the Orange Building. Never again would the stars yield such a constellation. It was an occasion to be cherished and embellished in our hearts...

BB is almost the spitting image of his little son

NT tries out his Dr. Evil look.

The party planners. BB tries to act cute (again)

BB still at it...

Ahhhh...he gives up at last

Wrapping the presents. It looks more delicate than brain surgery.

ML and RC getting some 'fresh air'.

NT can't decide whether to be Santa Claus or a mugger out on Christmas Eve. Muggers don't wear soft toys on their middle fingers, NT!

The three essentials of every office Christmas party - Santa cap, disco ball and radio

Decorations up and good to go

Stonehenge built out of canned drinks

The rather un-Christmassy food

The Christmas log cake

ES and MN discuss plans to get inside the Christmas Loghouse and steal the Cradle of Life without getting cream all over them

This one's for you J fans out there

People stream in...soon the place will be packed. But wait...what's wrong with this picture? Oh, yeaaaaah....where's ML's camera? :D

Everyone is in a Christmas mood

MV, RC and II make up an interesting trio

Is BH secretly learning the Art of Paparazzin' from ML?

NT gets the ball rolling. Unbelievably, IL has brought manuscripts to the party...what's the point?

NT tries to get the crowd's attention with his Snoop Dog impression

We can see who's most impressed by that. Watch out, NT...they're coming for you!

Ah, yes. The mandatory speech by GM LGH.

Everyone seems to be listening to him intently...

Except for the people who know how to have fun! Too bad for S.Wee though, he's too nervous about LGH's speech and starts biting his nails. Ain't that a gal thing?

They're all thinking, "C'mon you bloody bugger, finish up that speech so we can get the real fun started!"

At last he cuts the cake

And GK is royally sabo-ed by the other Friday Fazers into presenting MN with her farewell gift.

MN delivers an emotionally charged farewell speech

The fun and games begin with "Who am I?". It's always good to see the bosses in a fluster for a change. Although with HH, you would've probably seen her in a fluster everyday anyway.

II tries not to laugh too hard at his boss's feeble attempts

HH stoops to AN's level

The crowd are amused

MN gives HH some tips

It is II's turn and boy is he in trouble as the name on the sticker stuck to his forehead is that of his boss!

"Wah lau eh you all sabo me!"

EK roars in approval at AAR's simulated striptease. Gosh, this isn't a gay club, take your act elsewhere!

Having satisfied EK, AAR calms down...and prepares to sing

"Look at me, I'm SEXYYYY!!!"

EO's thinking "Where's my knight in shining armour to save me?" The aforementioned knight in shining armour is nowhere in sight.

He remains out of sight and EO has to extricate herself...which she does with remarkable skill and speed

CL scratches her head in bewilderment

But flanked by the two Santa helpers, she does well

CC shows off his Elvis Presley-esque crooning skills

Absolutely brilliant...encore!!

We should really have gotten IL to sing instead, would have been worth a bucket of laughs....but AN did a fantastic job, kudos to her.

JC's secret identity is captured on camera...she's actually a vampiress! Check out those eyes :O

EO receives her prize from LGH

SM wins the most Christmassy outfit award for men...

while CN walks off with the women's prize

MN inspects her farewell goodies

When will I see that smile again?

The MN groupies crowd around with their eyes on the prizes

Wouldn't some of us (not me larrrr) give an arm or a leg to sit at the same table as these lovelies?

The Friday Faze planners

Striking a different pose

MN gets another gift from GK; I'm pretty she would have wanted EK to be doing it instead :p

MN views her poster. From what I gather, she was "disgusted" and so was BT. But too bad, it's laminated some more, cannot give excuse that spill water and damage the poster so must throw away...hahaha

MN grins and bears it

The party was a smashing success. What a force - the Sixpack and GFPT combined can sweep all before their path. What a pity that it (probably) can't happen again

For everyone else, it was a great way to let their hair down and have some good clean fun. For MN, it was a fitting end to a fabulous four years in the Orange building.

Thanks for the memories...
