Updates
I know I haven't been updating a while so ok...
My colleague is on long leave and I am her backup. And basically these few days a lot of things just came in and I had to take over... I have to vet the replies that were going out of the office, and there were so many of them that were urgent that I didn't even do my own work! All her work... I was grumbling the whole time man.
Other than that, a few things happpened and I was so busy that I don't even have time to sleep so kinda neglected my blog a little.
HL's Departure
Well, my good buddy in my dept finally decided to 'throw letter' last month and yesterday was her last day. I guess I kind of will miss her, but because of certain reasons, I was aware of the kind of relationships I was building in my department and the 'closesness' I want these relationships to be. But she is the only one I can talk freely to without worrying whether she knew about these news anot (because some news are confi from staff). Oh well, there will be more occassions like that I guess. Better get used to it.
Ce's Hens' Party
It was rather fun at the beginning, then dampened later. Started well, with all the sisters eating at MOF. We were planning to head to Epinox (no idea how to spell, but it was at swiss hotel) but there was no seats for us. Left for Clarke Quay, ended up at Zirca. First time at a club sia... but the music sux lah. Playing house and techno music the whole night till we got a headache! Ended up leave early to go home... so much for a bachelorette's party. But there were a lot of ang mohs in the club. So all sisters deduced that ang mohs like techno music... haha...
Some pictures here.
Ce's Wedding.
I was totally drained on this day. First time being asked to be a 'sister', so more things to do other than giving her an ang moh on her wedding dinner.
Her wedding was on a weekday, and I did not take leave for the day before because that is the day HL's farewell dinner was on. So, came home at 11.30pm and got to prepare for Ce's wedding and WAKE UP AT 4.30am to reach Ce's house at 6pm. I ended up bringing some of my makeup to her house because I was running late and too tired. And I incurred midnight charge for the cab I took to her house. Lucky she stayed in the east or else it would cost a bomb...
Tried to get as much ang bao as we can from the groom, then to groom's house in the west, back to Ce's house in the east before we can go home and rest. Then got to go out early because of her solomnisation, then to her suite to help her get ready, then to dinner then go home. Tired sia! Really not easy to be a 'sister'!
And I spent a total of $40 on cab fares that day... as much as I am a cab queen, I never spent so much money on cabs in a day. Freaks me out.
Lucky I took leave the next day too. I slept the entire afternoon away! Way way way too tired...
Some pictures I took on that day. Not a lot of pictures because really, I was too tired. All the sisters were too tired...
D&D
Nothing much on this, except that another good buddy of mine won $100 Isetan's vouchers at the lucky draw... damn shuang lo. Imagine the skincare I can buy with that money! But still, free food. Some pictures here.
Ok, I think these are the major events. Haha. Can tell that I was busy for the last 1 month...
Anyway, Sitex is on next week. Thinking of getting the kind of techy things I want and I have to drag Jul to go with me. Poor Jul. But she was nice enough to go with me. But will spend a lot sia so trying to save money now...
And I managed (for the first time in the year) to take just buses and no cabs for the entire wk! I know, I am hopeless. But I am glad that I achieved this! I hope I can do it for the rest of the year!
And and and... I signed up for gym! Finally! I was really tramatised that day when I realised that I signed off so much money at a go.. but now I am glad. I experienced plenty of muscles ache these days, and I am really happy about it cause it shows that I am really working out! But hurts lah... wearing heels to work has never been so painful. But today I went to their free fitness assessment and really, it freaks me out! I am damn unhealthy lah! But their programme also cost quite a bit... don't know whether I should sign up for it lo though I really want to lah. But got to think about money money money...
On top of that, got to think about buying another pair of track pants, sports bra, maybe a light breezy top for exercising. Wa a lot of money leh!
So if there are people who still want to give me birthday presents, give me isetan or those sporty shop vouchers can? It will help me a lot!
Haha, kidding lah.
But sigh, my pay really not enough sia. Haha.
Ok, I am going to sign off, because the post is long enough. I kind of wish I got more time on my hands, because I want to write something intelligent, and not something I did or going to happen. I need to see something that will inspire me to write something that pick people's brains. To prove that the thing in between my ears still work...
Cheerios.
P.S. Craig Horner (the lead in the show Legend of the Seeker) is damn hot sia! My current craze! And New Moon is showing soon! Yeah!
