Once a while, you deserve to take a break!

10:43p.m, 27-June 2008, home.

My company soon to organise a "Family Day" on next Saturday (5th July 2008). Various activities have been planned accordingly, bowling, paint ball, horse riding and myriads of exciting activities. The funny incident starts when every single team of bowlers were required to create a striking and killing-effect theme for themselves.

My manager, the team leader call for a short discussion in a small room on creation of this "Killing-effect" theme. Here goes our brainstorms session. Only three of us were in this discussion:

Everyone just toss out their ideas impatiently, "Why not:

1) Sure Win!
2) No one beats us!
3) Like no others!
4) The best among the best!

Errrrr! Phoeeey! we shot down at each other blaming mediocrity. "Sure Win! A lottery bonanza?". "Like no others, are we selling Sony products?", lamented to each other. hahaha!



I stood up, "We want something sounds HILARIOUS yet POWERFUL, not as in powderful or powerpuffs girls but POWERFUL" suggested.




Myself: "Beijing 2008 Olymm.......pics Champion, in conjunction with soon to be commenced worlds' prestigious sports game, the Olympics in China. We want to steal the lime lights from this auspicious event, with us claiming ourselves to be the champion well ahead before the game starts hahaha :p!"

B: "Aiyeah, sounds so like China..-> discard!"

C: "Ehh! Why not Bowlympics Champion!" followed by laughters, however the "Bowlympics" was selected due to its uniqueness, not "Champion" due to generalness.

"OK! guys, we need additional one more word to finalize our super duper motto!"

The conversation continued sarcastically! "How about:

1) Bowlympics Bluehyppo?
2) Bowlympics Hippopotamus?







3) Bowlympics Gladiator?









4) Bowlympics Tiger hidden Dragon?
5) Bowlympics, better than Shalin?






6) Bowlympics Spider Pig?








7) Bowlympics Harry Plopper?

Ahahahahaha!

"Bowlympics All Star" was selected unanimously eventual.



All these suggestions, albeit might be childish reflective to you, once a while or perhaps once in a blue moon, we should give ourselves a break by doing things moronically, act childishly to release ourselves from the world full of rules and regulations as in "You can't do this and that, you should know this and that, the melody continues.... yada yada :)!".

Further suggestive crazy acts with an intention of stress reduction:

1) Dance like a monkey in front of a big mirror.
2) Crass stupidity pluses sarcasm verbally.
3) Sings out of sync and monotonously in karaoke.



If you dislike karaoke, go and immediately pick up the microphone and sings freely like nobody business, disregard how disgraceful, distasteful and lousy you might sound. I promised you, you will feel very contented eventually!



Please take note, try to confine this to yourselves or your close friends. Of course, applying these amid your managers or clients, undoubtedly "Non-confidence vote" will be slapped unbeknownst to you :)!

Cheers,

YOU! The only person generates YOUR own happiness :)!

You must have done all of the above before, if not, how could you have possibly suggested those acts? Gotcha!

You always have pics to support your text blog entry, impressive. Keep it up. But I'd be delighted if you could actually put a photo of yourself dancing like a monkey there LOL!

Btw, "doing things moronically" = Mr. Bean.

Hahaa... yet another amusing post with most apt pictures to build the correct 'atmosphere'.

I thought that All Star is inferior to the preceding suggestions (e.g. Bowlympics Harry Plopper, Spider Pig...) I always think that something is made more memorable by it's "shock value"... which All Star sadly does not have much of. Although it's a safe and "uncriticizable" title, but.. "something for everybody is something for nobody".

Not to mention that it goes against the grain of what your very blog stands for: Tsumaranai dayo ~!!! With a capital "T".

However I also realize that not all people can come to a consensus easily especially when there are over-inflated egos in the equation... pffft.

I especially like the closing part: No-confidence vote will be slapped against you: with the corresponding picture to drive home the point. LOL :D

>> Thank you for your compliment and trust me you can also do the same thing. Need not to reveal to me, if it works :)! hahaha

>> Hmmm....we can't use Spider Pig or Harry Plopper because our team consists of muslims. It would be inappropriate, similar to have the sentence "Sememangnya Halal" ads. on ur blog with a lady in her bikini-swimsuit :p! This discussion suppose to take only 15 minutes but was more than that, moreover we have our individual responsibility to carry on, hence, at the end, we just select whatever deems fit, especially when you were tired of banning ideas :).
