Time flies fast. It has exactly been a week since I went to Bintan for a short getaway. I still miss Mayang Sari, the beautiful beach and sun! Boohoohoo..
Later in the noon, I will be going out to have lunch with Aunt and Bro - They owe me a birthday treat : ) Not too sure what I want to eat - don't feel hungry, but I guess it will be Sushi Tei again. Nevermind, it's the company that matters, not the food. Speaking about birthday, last Friday (which was also my actual day), received a flower basket with a stuffed toy giraffe from Accountant. Was quite surprised because I thought he was always a scrooge, didn't expect him to get me a 70 bucks flower basket, which he would never spend on other normal days. Nevertheless, it was a sweet gesture from him : ) This guy really loved to throw rude shocks and pleasant surprises har~. Later in the night, my beloved colleagues and I went to Oosh to chill. Oosh is indeed a fantastic place, with a myriad of restaurants under the starlit sky. Took many pictures of ourselves and when they presented me a big birthday card with their warmest greetings and a stack of $10 notes. Felt extremely touched and had wanted to cry out loud. Thanks to my well-trained self-constraint, tears which welled up in my eyes continued to stay in their boundary. Saw Rightie and that moment, all grudges and anger dissipated into thin air - It has been too long and tormenting. We hugged (I am not a hug person) and at that point of time, we understood that that incident was passe. We would move on and not rack up again. Many thanks to my dearest nanny Amy and little kid Adeline for their coordination in this beautiful gathering and to Amanda, Cheryl, Eugene and Ellen Lee for their time, and lastly, to Fat Boy for his ice cream chocolate mud cake (Hope it didn't add inches to our waistlines!) Love you all guys!
I think I have not mentioned about the Charity Gala which I went to last Tuesday. Went to J Salon in Fast East Plaza with Adeline to set our hair. Bloody hell, it cost a hefty 40 bucks for 20 bobby and hair pins and tonnes and tonnes of hairspray, despite looking nice. Rushed back to the office to change into our prom dresses. Refused to apply powder onto my clean face, but after a few hard knocks and arm locks from Amy, I relented and became her cosmetic palette. I must applaud her make-up application skills. Very professional and skillful albeit limited resources. *Clap Clap* I walked out of the toilet looking like a prom swan, with the constant worry that her stick-on silicon bra would slip down any moment.
Reached Ritz Carlton by Boss's car. The atmosphere was so formal that I didn't feel like walking around to mingle. Correction: I don't like formal events at all. Adeline and I escaped from the public eye to the toilet to take photographs : ) Thought that was the best thing to do. The food was average, though everybody claimed that it was fantastic. There were mashed crabmeat on top of mashed avocado mixed with tomatoes, creamy tom yam soup with a piece of shrimp and scallop, pan fried chicken thigh with sauteed mushrooms and greens and lastly, expresso brownie with chocolate mousse. Thought that the food wouldn't worth $500, albeit freeflow of wine. Had downed 4 glasses of red wine and wanted more, but wouldn't be nice to grab the whole bottle in front of the clients, particularly, my client. Was sure she wouldn't want a drunkard to fill her positions eh?
Went home to remove the bobby and hair pins from my hair...Had a tremendous hard time washing my hair - Felt like crying. My poor hair!!!
