a long weekend...

that went by too quickly and somewhat differently. it was nice catching up with friends over an 8 (??) course chinese dinner on Saturday night, at the NUS CSS 60AC celebrations. and it did not end there of course. making use of the long weekend to satisfy our durian cravings, it was NDP on 09/08/2009 and yet another chance to just relax with people whom i've not met for ages. what other way to celebrate it with chicken rice and durians on the open-air second storey of Jason's place? fantabulous!

yet, it all had to end. too short, too quick. back to work and yet another week of 'fun' and 'adventure'. i cant wait to get my butt back to working in town....

on hectic crazy days...

it helped to see such a simple yet lovely message stuck onto my PC....

not so over you

my D now belongs to someone else. it sucks to have mixed feelings, of wanting to feel happy for him and yet sore that i've been displaced from the number one spot. the best thing anyone could have told me tonight was that if he treated me as a good friend, i'll always have that special spot. i guess it's true to know that we mean something to each other. as they say, if we're not meant to be, then letting go of you will be the best thing i can do....

and so, to my precious D, you'll always have this special place in my heart. i pray that you both will work things out with your mom and may this girl be the right one for you.

two short weeks

makes a pile-up of work and a quicker path to the weekend. being on leave last week, i was on 2 days medical leave this week, having lost my voice and coming down with the flu mid-week. was good i guess, since i recovered much faster as i utilised those 2 days to stay home and rest. yet the pile-up of work kinda blows me almost-over. nevertheless, it's the time when people are either feeling motivated, or de-motivated. well i couldnt think of a better antonym to use. with the motivation somehow comes the pressure and determination to perform perhaps? at least for me. so much for saying how i dont care of the worth of it, i have to admit that recognition is good.

incidents that make me laugh. when Jonathan thought i was saying hi to him when i was actually answering a phone call from Jiafu. Gosh. when a return call from P and VP came after i text both of them regarding the selection of a mobile number included things like 'if the numbers add up to something or if you want to multiply also can...' left me speechless...geez. when my baby elephant says something cute to me. that's a wide smile. when one of my favourites admits i'm one of his too....another wide smile....it's sweet dreams if things like these happen every day....

recharging

finally on leave this week, and a trip up north did some help in relaxing and recharging. at least i didn't really have my mind on work. the last time we headed to Malacca, we spent about RM$900+ on lingerie. yes. gasps. and this time round, we decided to just leave that amount aside, buy some but not all. and the result of it? i bought 6 pairs of shoes. yes. gasps again. like how many pairs of shoes does a girl need right? haha. add that to the currently-new-and-available-but-unworn-and-left-on-shoe-rack shoes, there's more than enough for me to change a new pair of shoes every month. no wonder Dad kept shaking his head, but that's my weakness and i love it...

Holiday Inn was having some breakfast and free internet access package for the stay. added an extra bed which did not come with breakfast but we paid for it anyway. Total for 2 nights stay = RM$917.15, inclusive of taxes. That's about S$400. less actually, since i went for a massage that costed about S$70 and had that charged to the room. schweet. on top of that, they gave me a Priority Club Rewards Membership card. hmm. i don't have THAT kind of spending power yet, but i guess it's a good to have.

bought alot of stuff for darling angel too and she loves it....

one more day of rest tomorrow and it's back to work for one day before breaking for the weekend....yay!
