Fishy Friday.

(Late) dinner (again) at Manhattan Fish Market, PS with the dudes. Thank you, dudes for the belated birthday makan. Hehe. Feel very fishy today because llunch was FISHball noodles and dinner was salmon. No doubt, they were yummy-licious!

The 2nd happy hour in office but it turned out to be an hour long meeting. What the heck. Happy hours are meant for employees to unwind, not to tag us with stressful meetings like these. No doubt you say, just logistics and stuffs but they're so draining! Especially on Friday evenings.

The intern cried just now due to pressure from me, I guess. She felt bad having to delay our time but seriously, I never blamed her at all. NOT AT ALL. I never blamed anyone (but the client, of course!) for making me stay late in office. Never, not even once. I reckon she is one who crumbles easily under pressure. In any case, I hope she is better and be charged over the weekend because next week there are more battles to fight.

Heck, in our industry, everyday is a battle.

Thanks, cut6.

No doubt it may be overdue by 2 days but Blogger decided to screw up my post on Monday evening. Hmmph!!

Anyhow, I want to say shout: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CUT6!! Cut5 treated me to an expensive dinner at a Japanese restaurant which serves very nice desserts. Yumm Yumm. They threw in a $30 HMV voucher as well. I'm so embarassed. *blushes*

But really, thanks for making my Monday evening memorable though I must sincerely apologize for being soooo late. :P

A Year Older, A Year Wiser.

Refuse to admit I'm old, I'd love to think that I've gotten wiser as this date approaches me yearly. Haha. This is called being young at heart. :)

Anyway, thanks for the sms-es and calls from my friends on this (supposedly) lovely day. Why do everyone presumes birthdays are lovely days?

Nothing happened to have triggered my thought on that. Just a point to ponder.

Anyhow, Happy Birthday to me. Haha!!

The Birthday Weekend.

I shall start from Friday which I spent the night (till 9.30pm) in office for fcukingSt@rfcukFA. The week had been like a "to hell & back & hell again & again" for me. Simply because boss hired 1 wrong person and not enough manpower and jobs kept pouring in like water under running tap.

Heavy air in the air and temper flew quite a bit (from me, nonetheless; I am always the fierce one, though I have no idea). All of them said I look very fierce and am very fierce. I promise you guys, I am not because I love making mean jokes which if you're not my close people, you won't know.

'Nuff about Friday; which I initially looked forward to because colleagues had planned a dinner & karaoke session for me.

Today was a wake-up-early-view-house-blade-shopping regime. I return a satisfied birthday girl. House viewing session at Clementi was not a success due to some reasons I hate to explain. Blading at Sunset Way (with aunt sp) was terrific and it means I will not go East Coast often now because it's too far. Session was good training for me as well and I found the courage to go faster and fall less (in terms of number of times and impact).

Lunch at Sushi Tei was as usual - fulfilling & satisfying. After rounds in Cold Storage, we discarded groceries and went for coffee at Spinelli's. cellmate, FYI, sp has a fetish for the tea mug which isn't for sale. She's going to make it her "limited edition mug at home". ;)

Received an Adidas tee for my present; so thank you so much, aunt sp. :D Dinner at Soup Spoon was fantabulous as well because it's one of my favourite, too.

So you see, today's fun filled with food & exercise & pressie. Hence, I return home as a happy (premature) birthday girl.

Also, not forgetting those who have wished me: ychuan, michelle; ex-colleague j, e & colleague j who has given me a little gift. Thanks, peeps. :D

Laughing To A Slimmer Me?

Dinner with colleague t & j ended up with cheap & sumptous & hearty & funny & relaxing session. Haha.

We were talking about colleague j taking up hip hop dance lessons and we tried imposing as hip hops. Results? We hip hopped all the way from the hawker centre to the MRT and to our way home and laughed all the way. What a good way to exercise our stomach muscles uh.

Love my colleagues now because they're a nice bunch and very family-like. Just like my second family. Alright, minus the fact that the office sucks but the people are niceeee. :)

Shopping Treat.

My buys from today with the colleague and ex-colleague. Started with shu uemura eye makeup workshop and then off to our spree. Completed my day with a pair of heels, shu uemura eye shadow, mac foundation, a hand wash and a sample of organic soap from B1 of Raffles City Shopping Centre.

It's so happening now that the entire basement is opened! Wow! Sort of made my day. Hehe.

*Yawns* It's time to bathe and hit the bed. Night, all.

The Bread Girl & The Zoom.

You have Little Miss Naughty, Sleepy, etc, etc. I think I deserve the Miss Bready. Downed 6 pcs of toast for dinner. WTF? How did I manage to down so much bread, you ask? Well, if you do not know me well enough, your truly lovesssss bread to the max.

Unlike other days, I find that time passes really fast today, especially. Is it because it's Friday and weekend's here and "WOOH HOO!!"??

I reckoned that I'd reach home at around 7 or 7 plus pm. I only sat down and sent a couple of emails and ding dong a little and the time shot to 8 pm. Ok, time to bathe and after which, I came out of bathroom the clock showed 8.45pm?

What the ...? My usual bath time is only 10 mins or 15 max and you're telling me I took God-knows-how-long minutes?

I feel as if time just flew by too fast. It's scary. I don't have enough time. Help!!

Decomposing Slowly.

I find that it gets more and more tedious for me to wake up each day at a specific time to go to work. Either that or I am lazy and yearn for more sleep (than ever). I sleep at almost 11pm every night yet (except tonight) I cannot wake up at 7am. Why uh?

Despite the regular sleep, I sometimes steal sleeps whenever possible. Meaning - Tuesday was out of office for a whole day photoshoot. The shoot stretched over to 7+ pm. With the client and her boss around, I literally slept under their nose(s) for a good (I think should have) 15 mins. I know my Art Director was overseeing a certain shot and when I woke up, they finished up to the second last shot. WOW! I was amazed.

Either that, I have worms in my stomach? Or is just a kind of disorder? Colleagues said I sleep too much and shake their heads when they hear I can sleep anywhere, anytime, in any position. Yes, I can sleep standing.

Happy Birthday, me!

Home for the weekend to find out that today is my lunar birthday. Hahaha. Didn't know till it was 2 hours before I leave for Singapore.

Met peg yesterday. Yay! After soooo long, finally caught up with her. *Yawns* though it's only 8.24pm. Been yearning to sleep because the weather is so cooling and nice!!

Plan to wake up at 2am later to watch the Finals of WC and hope for the best. Kekeke!!

Determined.

I am very determined to revisit Melbourne next year because I didn't get enough of the last trip. Hence, I've decided to make a trip there myself to visit auntie bh. :) With or without company. Though I am hoping Mum can go with me again.

Am on MSN with cellmate and I told her about my intention and our long overdue grad trip. I was suggesting fy and I fly over to meet her and leave our traces behind. Hehe.

Planning with fy is easy because we won't be too wishy washy. Too many people is great but cut6 will always procrastinate. Somehow that is in us. :(

I'm going to Australia, no matter what! Will discuss with them when we meet the next time and if there's one more person who can make it, off we fly. Wooh hoo!!

Loss & Joy.

Loss because Germany lost to Italy in WC2006 semi-finals and I lost money. Though it's only a small $5 bet but I bu shuang, can?!!

Joy because fortunately I didn't place a $100 bet on Germany which I wanted to initially else I'd be even more devastated today. Yes, I'm kind of "hiong", huh? $100 is quite alot but I was thinking of making some money since I am a poor kid.

Joy again because I managed to meet Daddy (& his friends) for dinner just now. They came for an exhibition which was disappointing because of the scale. Anyhow, I'm glad I could meet up with him because this weekend, when I go back, he'll be in KL for seminar. Aihh, talk about timing.

I've decided to bang on Italy in the finals this Monday early morning. Must tryyyyy to make some money else I'd forever be lamenting.

I Wish.

I wish for what I have been wishing for all these while. I wish my wish will come true. I wish... I wish... Sounds like a tongue twister?

Blading with shum was good. Except the fact that ECP was swamped with hordes of people. It's always the case. Makes it even harder to concentrate on my route.

Sometimes, I wish my life was more interesting. I need some sparks in my otherwise-dull life. Wonder when the sparks will come?
