Shhhh....
The utmost peak has arrived. Work hours have been crazy...
Not that I already post very frequently. But I guess, until the peak is over, expect less ranting from me.
Photobucket is finally up. So here are the pictures that I had wanted to post since LAST YEAR.
Cosy NYE06 countdown with close friends. None of the wasted clubbing madness this year. Not like I have been doing that the past years either. I'm thankful for the friends I have in my life....They keep me grounded and helps me retain some sanity in the midst of all these work madness.
Our money is on Couple 3 (counting from the left) getting to the altar first! *winks*
Popped a bottle of Icewine...and played the good ol' game of charades. Guys vs. Girls.
Naturally, the girls being the smarter of the gender, won. :P
Dinner with kolics. All of us happened to be on leave at the same time!
And mahjong too!
I lurve year-end leave clearance. I don't even want to encash the leave....its not worth working your ass off for that pittance.
Shopping with the girls this weekend at an off-beaten track. Away from the typical Orchard crowd, we were at Chinatown!
We had the famed frog porridge at People's Park Complex. Luckily we reserved the froggies at around 4pm....cos they were all sold out by dinner time! I used to patronize the stall a lot when they just opened. It wasn't very well-known then. But overtime, by word of mouth, EVERYONE knew about it and crowds started to flock there.
You would never be able to feast on the amphibians if you do not call for a reservation at least hours before.
Lesson learnt: Do not tell the whole world about good food.
So much has changed at the People's Park food centre. The upstairs especially. It has become a youth haven for cheap bargains.
A place that used to sell mainly cloth and "mature" ladies clothes...now it has transformed itself dramatically, giving places like Far East or Heeren a run for their money.
Yesterday was pay day (newly revised pay!) And off we were to Suits and U! Do not snigger at the cheesy name of this shop at People's Park Shopping Centre (not COMPLEX)...cos the suits they sell are not only fashionable, but most importantly, CHEAP! And the quality is not compromised for the price you pay.
I never got my suits from anywhere else ever since I was introduced to that shop. Unless I'm earning the pay of a partner, I don't think I can afford suits from Blum, Massimo Dutti or CK anytime soon.
A weekend is never complete without a bottle of vino!
At Robertson Quay with Darevurls and Hamsam.
Wine Network @ Damsey...this time with Vanilla.
I have been watching the Prison Break (Season 1) serial the past week. Its addictive! I can't find the time to watch at home, cos when I get back at hours after midnight, every ounce of strength I have left is used for showering and hitting the sack.
This is where my ipod Video comes in handy. Making use of the traveling time on the subway, I manage to finish all 22 episodes in about 1 week or so.
That is all made possible because of Fudgey! (Psst: Do you have Season 2?? And your hard drive is still with me! *smiles abashedly* Will pass to you when I'm there for Ramus one day yah!)
Putting Entourage (Season 1, 2 and 3!) on hold cos' I'm just starting on Grey's Anatomy (Season 1 and 2). I know I'm abit backdated on these (believe it anot, I have not caught Desperate Housewives 2!)...but what am I to do when my work hours are so punishing.
CNY is coming and I need to lose some weight!
A small problem though: I have two cracked toe nails from netball!! I can't wear covered toes shoes to work, much less put on a pair of trackies to run!
How to lose weight?!?
I expect a lot more grilling this CNY from relatives about my marital status. Especially so now that my brother has proposed and is getting hitched this year.
What do they not understand that being together with someone for 4+ years doesn't automatically mean I have to be married anytime soon. I'm only in my early 20s...my wombs are not withering up like a dried prune yet. And seriously, given the nature of my job...its impossible and very unhealthy to bring up a child at this time of my life. Until the work environment of mine gets more family-friendly, the Singapore govt should not expect a boom in child birth...but rather they should fret over the aging population problem.
No pressures yah dear....just venting.
Give me a break....
