yet another day i gorged myself..

i think i've been eatin too much recently. been spending way too much money on food and alcohol. and to think im supposed to be saving up to go for a loooong trip to US next year. i really wanna go so bad. im even prepared to go alone if i cant find anyone to accompany me!

today we didnt feel like having lunch at the canteen so we headed to bab noodles for lunch. i had kimchi chicken soup with rice because i've been having craving for kimchi soup for the past 2 days. finally fulfilled the craving but i felt that my normal myojo kimchi instant noodles+egg tasted better than the one at bab. maybe cuz they added spring onions and sesame seed in it.. my 2 most disliked ingredients in it thats y i didnt really enjoy it. and then we had extra side orders of tempura prawns and grilled gyoza to share.

went back to the office and today muz have been one of the days i received the most group leads from all over. my email was flooded with enquiries for quotations from all the various TAs and every now and then i had ppl plonking corp leads into my in-tray. it was so overwhelming.

decided to leave behind all the work to leave work on the dot.. becuz chummy #2 arranged for us to have dinner with aL and cbfsl! haha. we headed to gluttons bay for dinner. found a table effortlessly which was pretty surprising. and then we started to go ard ordering our food. i muz have walked like 10time to and fro from the table to the stalls becuz it was self-service and there were 2 princesses sitting at the table refusing to budge! tsk tsk... so we had chicken wings, oyster omelette, char kway teow, fried hokkien mee, stingray and kangkong... it was wayyyy too much food for the 4 of us. amazingly we finished almost everything cept for the chicken wings cuz we forgot cbfsl cant eat chicken! had a great time cuz cbfsl as usual made us laugh so hard with her weird antics that i thought i was gonna puke. ended up with hiccups which got cured eventually cuz chums gave the suggestion that i shld take 7 sips continuously but like 3 sips into it she told me i was sippin too slowly so i took 1 big gulp and they started laughing. i was trying so hard to control not to burst out laughin so that i cld swallow the darn gulp that the hiccups went away.

made our way to the taxi stand after having a few puffs by the waterfront. the taxi queue was so long and i juz saw the 106 bus coming by and suggested to chums to take the bus home. luckily i had an extra ez link card... i think it muz've been a long long while since she last took a bus. it wld've been more enjoyable if we weren't already too tired from all the laughin... lol. overall a good day with all my fun pals. =)

my first ENT at GP

today i was unwillingly roped in for an ENT at GP with a group of japanese man from jalpak together with mr G, tc and mr pudge. in the beginning it was pretty awkward. didnt really know wad to say but the jap guy sitting next to me was pretty nice. he muz have realised i was feeling weird and started to talk crap with me. so while tc and mr g was talkin abt biz and current affairs that affected the tourism trade and hotel industry, there i was chattin abt nonsense with this jap guy. haha. while beats sitting there like an idiot... that was mr pudge.

so the food came... we conquered, some gave up the battle but the sole survivors amongst us was tc and 2 jap guys. it was wayyy too much food. i think next time tc suggests to go GP and tries to rope me in again i better stand by a very good excuse to get outta it. i almost cldn't stand up after that meal! felt so sick after that, like i needed a whole bottle of eno to help me push the food downwards inside me. nearer to the exit that is. haha

then came the time to bid our goodbyes.. and tc instructed me to go back to GP to sign the check. ehh y me?? typical example of me being sidekick.. well at least it was tc who instructed me and not the other powerless ass. the darn check came up to $630?! damn scary.. felt abit worried to sign it but i still went ahead to, like who cares it doesnt come out from my paycheck anyways. but thats like 1/3 of my salary man... and juz for lunch thats called pure insanity....

woohoo im entitled for the lil increment...

so anne and i were like discussing we both shld deserve to get the pay increment of 5% which was announced last wk. today tc gave out the letters and lo and behold i got it. not anne tho... which my heart goes out to her. but oh wells its not gonna make much of a difference on my very small and pathetic pay check.

today was a normal crappy monday at work. email was retardedly slow.. as always. still dun understand y we have a highly paid MIS mgr and yet we still have to tolerate this crap! my 'buddy' as work was missing most of the day and everything else fell back on me. i dun get it lor. im not his substitute neither am i his assistant. enough is enough. do not.. and i mean it DO NOT push me anymore. none of u have seen the ugliest of me yet. cept my beloved ones at FO........ *grinds teeth*

mixed emo

was juz chatting with a friend over msn... found out that the lil one is attached now. i dunno how to describe wad im feeling now. its not like i feel sore or anything.. its kinda like all mixed emotions, happy or sad or i cant even be bothered i cant really tell. which i figured as such if not everything wld not have been so peaceful in the recent month. well its good to know we're both moving on with our own lives. this shld always be the way i hate and utterly dread those draggy dramatic endings.

great.. life goes on....

my cousin juz moved into her darn huge place..

had a family gathering at my cousin's new place somewhere in bukit timah. omG its huuugggeee.. and damn nice. but i still cant quite figure out y the both of them needs sucha big house and i heard from my mum that they cant have their own kids so unless they're gonna adopt i dun see the point of having sucha big place la... but anyways lemme describe it. its some sort of like a semi d, 3 storeys and everything is very simple. mainly glass, white and parquet flooring. its like my kinda dream place... ya the kind that i can only dream abt owning.....

then we had dinner.. oh forgot to mention my aunt & uncle who stays in US came back which explains the gathering la. had so much food, wine and champagne. but zachary was like the centre of attraction for the whole night. he's sooooooo cute, everyone was like trying to catch hold of him the entire night. im sure my bro is gonna suffer tonight cuz zach will definitely have nightmares for playing so hard. haha

alright moving on... there was actually a purpose for me to go to this gathering. i dun normally go cuz i cant stand my relatives questioning me abt my life. im like the only one who isnt doing as well as compared to the rest. all my other cousins are like high flyers and they're all attached except for the younger ones la. so actually i was tasked to go and find out if my cousin is still attached with my 'friend's' ex. we happened to find out last wk that this guy is my cousin's bf but that was last dec. i didnt know how to bring up this conversation with her so i waited till everyone was abt to leave and i juz subtly like popped the qn... 'how are u and ur bf... (name) are u still with him, cuz i think i bumped into him during lunchtime the other day at milennia walk?' then she answered 'yes... he did tell me he saw u together with his ex(name) *rolls eyes*... do u know her (name) *rolls eyes again!*?' my answer to her 'yes.. she's a very close colleague of mine and in fact we're very good friends.' then my cousin gave me the very disgusted look which i in turn had to return it to her too. my last comment to her was 'u take care of urself yea?' and turned to say goodbye to all the rest.

initially i felt worried for my cousin cuz i've heard abt this guy and i dun think he's good enough for her but that conversation totally cheesed me off. i never expected her to react in sucha way but i suppose she's been poisoned so badly i will never be able to bring her out of it. well then she'll have to learn the hard way. chummy if u're reading this i hope u dun get too upset but i think u are cuz i juz read ur blog... chill k? im on ur side... good riddance im soooooooooo glad u're with taxi door now! =)

ate too much *pukes*

today is the only day i ate more than i worked. i dunno if it can be compared in sucha way but it really felt so! lemme narrate how my day went.... day started off at ard 830. went for morning briefing for abt an hr and during that time we had mooncake sampling. went back to reply some emails and at 1050 left the office and headed off to SUNTEC for a site inspection. its really pretty huuuggeeeeee. invited the whole bunch of sales ppl from suntec back to oscar's for buffet lunch. kept eating for like over an hr+? brought them ard the hotel and then back to work and clear emails... and then it was dinner time! left work at 7pm sharp to head for thanying restaurant at amara hotel for our dept dinner. and mr G had to sit beside me... ah ho and i took turns to like entertain him cuz he doesnt eat much?? he doesnt take meat and eats only alot of vege. being thai food where got alot of vege for him to eat?? he was like feeding on the garnish... and chummy #2 wasnt ard, neither was #1 so i tasked myself to eat on their behalf too. gorged myself so much felt like i was a goose being force-fed for the foie-gras... im feeling very accomplished for eating so much but also very sick at the same time. honestly the food wasnt all that fantastic and tc mentioned it came up to abt $70/pax like wa lao.... damn exp can?!

anyways chummy #2 was on leave today becuz she had her driving test, was feeling nervous for her! but am very very glad she passed on her first try today! alright man! i foresee more free rides with u behind the wheel? hahahaehehehehe. and now all chummies can drive! yippeeee yay yaY! :P yes i feel spastic... as always.. heh
