I'M "OUT OF TOWN"
Not answering any calls with a 6213 prefix till next year.
Caught Corrinne May in concert last Saturday @ the Esplanade. It was her Christmas concert. I won't take anything away from her singing...cos she's wonderful as it is, but she does need to put in more work on her showmanship.
She didn't really connect with the audience and it doesn't help that I was seated in the circle seat! (The picture taken shows my view from my seat) :(
Her Christmas stories were rather predictable...and the introduction to each song had a very weak link to the song itself.
Kudos to her for the subtle evangelism...but I wonder how many in the audience could fully grasp the meaning of the song titled Five Loaves and Two Fishes.
It was an enjoyable evening nonetheless. We went for wine @ Barfly after the concert. It's been a while since we have actually done the whole date thingy after all these years...
Checked out the new clubs at The Cannary with my "best-est" kolics (my apologies for sounding so juvenile!) on Friday (and Sat as mentioned above). Its probably a blessing in disguise we had to work late...cos entry was free to the whole stretch of clubs after 10pm.
We got a nice spot outside Fashion Bar and talked the whole night through. Thirst quenched of cos by the free flow of drinks that evening. :)
And being the opening night, there were many who dressed up befitting to the occasion...which bodes well for us cause we had a great time people watching scrutinizing too!
Countless number of fashion faux paus. The people that follow fashion sooooo blindly...its exasperating.
I finally got a chance to be in office for lunch on Friday last week.....so with Shopaholic, we had sandwich at Pret a Manger.
The mushroom soup is a MUST-TRY! Ironically, the sandwich is just mediocre. Granted the varieties are aplenty, but the serving is rather pathetic. Would a full fledged grown up man be full with just 2 slices of bread?!?
The two of us looked around the whole place and noticed no one had TWO servings of sandwiches...and being the very bashful and society-conforming ladies we are, we each had only 1 serving of sandwich too!
Supplemented with soup of cos.
Shopaholic had to have soya bean during teatime to quell her hunger...
I've not gotten so many Christmas presents for friends and exchanges...but I'm not exactly keen on thronging with the Orchard crowd to get them. Hopefully, going on a weekday would alleviate some of the madness.
I chanced upon a interesting, albeit useless, Christmas gift idea in a chocolate shop @ Vivo.
A chocolate shavings maker!
I'm just not into such an atas way of eating chocolate. It's the good ol' munching and savouring for me.
The new year is coming....
Let's recapture the magic yah?
Chatterbox Don't forget this friday girls. Fiak> PLS BRING MY MAC!!!!
The past week has been hell. Working till almost mid-night every day of the week.
I did not manage to get any runs in the whole week.
Thankfully, despite all the horrid canteen mixed vegetable rice for lunch and dinner @ the client's place for 5 consecutive days, I have not tipped off the scales much! I'm so jinxing myself by verbalizing this thought out.
I've finally changed the tagboard. Now you guys can post your shout-outs....slam my entries or empathize with me.
Gift shopping for the girls on Sat. The two greenies!!!
So, its public news that there is a pay revision for the number crunching slaves. I must say its long overdue.
But I reckon the amount is pretty meagre....I'm not expecting any major changes to my lifestyle.
I'm not going to be having foie gras or white truffles for dinner...nor am I going to book myself a mini cooper next month. Also, I'm not going to don a Piaget on my wrist anytime soon...and I can only indulge in that Gucci once a year or Coach twice a year.
To sum up, the revision is pathetic!
I'm still better off working at Macdonalds.
Enough lamenting...I should count my blessings instead. 1, err...2, 3....?
