The Weekend That WAS
This post was supposed to be up yesterday, but Blogger.com was having some problems.
---------------------------------------------------------
It was a long weekend of feasting.
So much so that my Monday felt extra blue-ish (in stark contrast to my colourful weekend....Get it??)
I'm getting better at balancing my figures with each assignment...but I have a long way to go...given that I still take up to a day to balance one period's accounts.
We went mooncake shopping at Taka on Friday for each other's parents. It's a pity I was on leave that day cos' Shangri-La were selling mooncakes at a discount of 25% at my office's pantry!
Given that I was still taken captive by the flu bug that day, we had to opt for something light and "qing dan" for dinner.
Where else but CJ's Xiao Long Pao (I'm not a fan of DTF's paos)!
What's up with me and the acronyms right???
Baby acting cute *pukes* and I'm analyzing the menu like a forensic auditor.
Got HamSam a wallet as his birthday gift. Although I would have preferred the brown one on him, he's still the very much the traditional black wallet guy. I had plans to get a Mont Blanc one for him...but....I'm nothing but a pauper an auditor. So that grandiose plan had to be shelved. He would have to make do with the Brauny the Buffalo for now.
He ignored me for a full 15 mins arranging the cards in his new wallet. I had to occupy myself with reading the menu in chinese.

Lester's engagement party on Sat.
The happily engaged couple: Lester and Janice a.k.a The BFG and Thumbelina (hope I got the spelling right)
Glad that he has FINALLY settled down.
On a slightly related note, I told HamSam that I will never agree to having a kid (at this point I have come to accept the fact that he is the eldest and it is close to impossible for me to refuse his mother a grandson to carry on the family name) until I have a permanent sitting area/desk in the office. I can't keep up with the HotDesking concept carrying a huge load with me for 9 months!
The luxurious Mahjong Palour.
He's always getting us together to play mahjong at his place. For someone who hails from US, he's damn good at the game!

Almost paid a down payment for a car on Sunday @ Suntec!! I will most probably get a OPC if I ever get one since I can never dream of driving and PARKING at my workplace. My daily salary would never cover my parking fees given that the parking rate is $5.50 per half hour!!
A classic case of Wishful Thinking below:
I was the incongruent model of Lester's SLK. Baby was just ogling over the cars parked nearby, namely the Lexus and Audi TT.
We chose the Chong Qing HotPot steamboat over Tony's ribs for dinner.
It was the least sinful buffet I have ever had in my life! I had a lot of veggies (I noe...boh hua right, eat cheap veggies!) while baby went for the kill with the beef! The spicy stock gives a good kick while the normal one is sweet (in a soup sense, not candy-sweet lar!). The desserts were delectable too...my favourite being the fried man tou dipped in condensed milk. Yummmieeee!
I want this!!!!
Dearie, Christmas is only 3 months away.....Or if you can't wait, our 3rd yr anniversary is in less than 2 months time!
