My Saturday morning was burnt once more for the Company : ( Due to the branding exercise, we had to attend an image consulting workshop at Meritus Mandarin Hotel. As usual, I was feeling very grouchy (hey! my Saturdays are very precious! >: ( ) especially when I had to wear formal attire for the workshop. Initially, I had wanted to put on my blazer because I was afraid that I might be the odd one who wore informal (We were told to wear our best formal attire), however, after much consideration, I decided to break the rules and go without - I decided that a Zara short-sleeved shirt, a skirt and a pair of silver patent pointed shoes would suffice.
True enough, not everybody wore in their best formal attire (Boy, I was relieved) : ) Breezed through the whole process of mixing and matching clothes and accessories to give the most formal effect, the interpretations and implications of behaviors and handling clients. My initial displeasure morphed into great enthusiasm due to the interesting topics as well as the professionalism of the image consultant : ) I guess she was successful in drawing our short-span attention and though it was a 4-hour workshop, she managed to make us feel that it was not long, dry and draggy : ) *Clap Clap*
After the workshop ended, we strolled to Crystal Jade at Takashimaya to have lunch. I was so hungry that I could faint - The refreshments of meat dumplings and chocolate eclairs failed to fill up our tummies : ( Ordered seafood bee hoon and as mentioned, I was so hungry that I gobbled up the whole plate within minutes (I was surprised that Adeline, Sharon and Gabrielle ordered porridge - man, weren't they starved?) As for dessert, it was my first time ordering a milky dessert (Did I tell you that I am lactose-intolerant?); I gave into temptation since both Sharon and Adeline were singing praises of it and the best part: It was good for the complexion! My thought at the very first instance went: Yuck!
After lunch, I headed home and immediately went to take a 3-hour nap...(This was the best part of the day. Really.)
